The power of the people will be apparent as the full moon on April 20 sheds light on our problems and concerns. A series of excellent planetary aspects takes hold, and a shift toward the positive occurs. In Vedic astrology, the Nakshatra (moon mansion) that the moon will be moving through at full moon time is important, as it will help us understand the quality and character of the times. Although the moon will be at zero Scorpio in the tropical zodiac at full moon time, it falls back to six degrees of Libra according to the sidereal zodiac. Says Vedic astrologer Dennis M. Harness in his book The Nakshatras:
“The fifteenth nakshatra is called Swati, which resides entirely with the sign of Libra, the scales. It is primarily located near the golden star Arcturus, the brightest single star in the constellation Bootis. Swati means ‘the sword’ and reflects a strong desire for independence.”
The sun, Saturn, and Pluto form a grand triangle at full moon time, which is very auspicious indeed. Opportunities for unification, cooperation, and trust among the nations present themselves. Mars opposes Jupiter, and there will no doubt be clashes in the pushing and shoving match between those who oppress and those who seek freedom, liberty, and justice.
The spring will be an exceedingly tense time, interspersed with
opportunities to work out just what is wrong. We instinctively relax when the good times are upon us, and we tighten up when the energy is negative, but we might want to do things differently this time. Instead of going into party mode when the stars are harmonious, this is the perfect time to initiate actions that will truly help the world and its inhabitants. Let’s put the big push on, stand together as one people on one planet, and allow all people to be free. Love is the answer, and generosity too; let’s see what we can do.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
You will experience a great flurry of activity accompanied by very intense energy from April 17 to 20. No time to doubt and no time to figure it out, only time to be strong, brave, and fearless, or at least face your fears. The sun shines brighter once this is over.
Taurus
April 20 - May 21
The sun enters Taurus on April 19, followed by a full moon on April 20. Revelations come by the dozen, and you truly see what time it is. As well, the sun, Mercury, Saturn, and Pluto are forming an excellent grand triangle that will benefit you in countless ways. Lift your head up and be all that you can be.
Gemini
May 22 - June 20
It’s the season of cleansing and clearing. Time spent in ashrams and places of healing will serve you well. Your sense of compassion may be strong, and you could feel moved to help those who need it, but don’t forget yourself along the way. It is all grace from the Lord and an opportunity to alleviate some old karma.
Cancer
June 21 - July 23
You might need some “C and G” after the events of the last few weeks; intense energies are still onboard. C and G—counselling and guidance—could be needed in order to navigate some tricky waters. The full moon on April 20 brings it all home, and life could be good.
Leo
July 24 - August 23
The full moon on April 20 may become manifest in your life through events that try your patience and humility. Of course, anyone who steps on a lion’s tail will certainly hear about it. Mars blasts through Leo for most of May and June, bringing action and excitement your way.
Virgo
August 24 - September 23

The full moon on April 20 occurs in your sign, bringing revelations and realizations. As well, the full moon is connected harmoniously to Mercury, Saturn, and Pluto, bringing opportunities for success and harmony. April 20 to 22 is your time to shine. The sun moves through your opposite sign, Taurus, from April 19 to May 20, signalling a time when you may need to rest and recuperate.
Sagittarius
November 23 - December 21
The moon passes through Sagittarius from April 22 to 24. She is bright and powerful, and brings revelations regarding your true values and what must be done in order for you to feel content.
