Your horoscope from April 17 to 23, 2014

Easter Sunday through Wednesday delivers one more cluster of over-the-top, triggering stars. If it is ready to crumble, erupt, explode, or burst forth, it will.

In actuality, the Cardinal Cross edict has had us in a lockdown with reality and ourselves for some time now. Uranus and Pluto have been going at it hard since 2012, Jupiter’s been pumping it up since last August, Mars turned up the heat in January, and Mercury, an on-and-off contributor, has been shouting it out to the whole group over this past week.

From start to finish, Easter Sunday is a fully loaded, go-hard-at-it, or redirect-it day. Just before noon on Monday, we’ll hit number five, the most jolting of the seven 2012–2015 Uranus/Pluto alignments. On Tuesday, Mars/Jupiter pumps up the volume and numbers, keeping everything in full and fast swing. On the plus side, this mobilizing combination prompts inspired risk-taking, but it can also incite impetuous or righteous behaviour. Early Wednesday, Mars opposes Uranus and squares Pluto. When it strikes, it does so in a flash. From here, there’s absolutely no turning back.

Whether the black box is found or not, there is enough information to go on. The stars will not let us off the hook until we create the necessary change for ourselves and for the planet. The unexpected can be hard to live with, but we must not let it destroy our hope or future. Be the change, do it now.

Aries
March 20 - April 19

Whether it’s a carrot, need, goal, or fresh impetus, whatever it is stirring inside of you now gets a great big push from Uranus, Pluto, Mars, and Jupiter. Perhaps it’s you all fired up, or perhaps it’s some unexpected catalyst; either way, as of Sunday onward, it’s breakthrough time. Wednesday brings you to a cutoff point. Off with the old, on with the new!

Taurus
April 19 - May 20

Even if you don’t travel, the long weekend sees you gain added mileage, especially so Thursday through Saturday. On Easter Sunday, it’s one thing after another. Control and coping skills can be tested, but the Capricorn moon assists you. Monday to Wednesday thrusts you onto a next page, pronto quick. It’s everything all at once. Past mid next week, the stars sort it out better.

Gemini
May 20 - June 21

Personally and socially, you’ll make good tracks Thursday/Friday. Saturday can roll along well, but don’t get too comfortable. Sunday can be an uneven ride. Restraint and added patience is a good aim, but with the day so stacked, nobody’s a saint. Monday/Tuesday, stay obser­vant and jump on it quick. Trust your gut instincts. Out of the box, fresh, or unique is the right pick.

Cancer
June 21 - July 22

Thursday through Saturday can put you onto an accomplishment upswing. Use these days to put your best foot forward and to wrap up what you can. On Easter Sunday, watch for added pressure from all sides. Try not to let resentment, frustration, or a confrontational moment get the better of you. Monday through Wednesday, you’ll thrust past several major hurdles, perhaps surprisingly so.

Leo
July 22 - August 22

It seems you have high hopes for Easter weekend, even if all that means is extra time to do as you please. Come Sunday through Wednesday, kickback time is over—if you can call it that! Intense stars continue through the month’s end. Easter day, you can feel inconvenienced or backed into a corner. Monday through Wednesday brings you/it back to life. It’s blastoff time.

Virgo
August 22 - September 22

A personal or social recharge is ideal. Thursday to Saturday, aim to make full use of your time and build up for what comes next. Easter Sunday’s stars pile it on extra thick, but like it or not, you need to face it. Monday through Wednesday requires everything you have and then some. Yes, it feels like too much, but gain is immediate.

Libra
September 22 - October 23

Take nothing for granted and keep on watch. Sunday onward, the stars bring it on hard and fast. Monday through Wednesday, you are hot-wired for action. Circumstances or another can take you by surprise. Once it hits full throttle, the next play is yours to call. Trust your instincts and let your courage guide you. Success is found through response, not reaction.

Scorpio
October 23 - November 22

Put on your game face but try not to overshoot your budget, time, energy, or stamina. You can motor along well through Saturday, but as of Easter Sunday, the stars thicken the plot. To next Wednesday, moment to moment requires you to be even sharper on the ball. Keep on watch for the unexpected. Monday/Tuesday, there’s no choice but to hit the ground running.

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21

You can pump it through Saturday and get quite far along. By Easter Sunday, the wear and tear can get the better of you. You can be forced to confront what or who is confronting you. It can take you by surprise or perhaps you have been waiting for this moment to arrive. Either way, Monday/Tuesday puts the new reality on full thrust.

Capricorn
December 21 - January 19

It’s brewing through Saturday. Easter Sunday through Wednesday, it’s out in full force. You can’t control the outside forces, but you can control how you handle yourself. Jupiter, Uranus, and Mars fast-track you on to your new adventure. Day by day, your next steps will become clearer-cut. By next Thursday, you should have a good handle on it.

Aquarius
January 19 - February 18

A getaway weekend can be ideal but you can’t escape the stars. By Sunday afternoon, the Grand Cross stars are pushing to get the show on the road. It’s in full thrust Monday/Tuesday. The Aquarius moon keeps you a step ahead of the rest. Even if you are hit from all sides, it’s your time to shine.

Pisces
February 18 - March 19

Thursday/Friday, you’ll work it to your best advantage. Easter Sunday onward, your time may not be your own. Monday/Tuesday, out of sight is not out of mind. You may be able to stay out of the fray but you still have plenty to contend with. Next Wednesday to Friday, it will fall into place more naturally.
