March/April 2010 Starscope
Resolutions into Reality in March and April

By Emily Trinkaus

The astrological New Year begins on spring equinox on March 20 — a time for taking courageous steps forward to manifest the visions you birthed during these past winter months. Now that Mars the action planet is moving forward again (as of March 10), motivation and momentum are available for bringing your 2010 resolutions into reality.

In April, Saturn will oppose Uranus, the planet of radical change. This influence, which has been unfolding since autumn 2008, inspires innovative solutions to long-term challenges. Get clear about what's become stuck or stagnant, and take small, pragmatic steps toward a more liberating future.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Your creative fire returns with renewed inspiration and clarity about your heart's desires. Create a better support system for pursuing your passions by making small adjustments in your daily routines. How can you take charge of your schedule in a way that feels nurturing to your spirituality, creativity and relationships? Your intuition is especially strong now — make time to tune into the guidance that wants to come through.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Allies are ready to support you in giving your gifts to the world in a bigger way. Your challenge is to find the balance between expanding your service to others, and pursuing your own creative goals. Are you carving out enough time for the activities that recharge your batteries and make your heart sing? Trust that when you take time for doing what you love, you are a more effective agent for positive social change.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

To roll with the acceleration, expansion and surprising new directions in your work life, you need to strengthen your inner foundation. Daily self-care practices that help you feel grounded create a base of support that serves as your launching pad to professional success. You've been rethinking and clarifying your unique message — now is the time to move forward with new writing and teaching projects.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

This spring stirs up your desire to expand beyond the boundaries of the familiar. If your everyday world feels like a prison, it's time to take a time-out from emails and phone calls, so you can hear the voice of your own intuitive wisdom. Let this inner voice guide you toward a new area of expansion — whether physical travel, a new spiritual path or an educational pursuit.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

For the past few years you've been consolidating your resources and building a stronger financial foundation. Now there's something to reconsider and rework in that area — a new avenue for earning money, or a previously untapped or unrecognized resource. Consider whether there's something you need to release in order to make space for the new — an old belief, emotional attachment or business partnership.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

As your partnerships expand and deepen, and opportunities for new connections abound, you're challenged to take enough time for solitude, and the rituals and routines that help you feel grounded. From a place of inner strength, you feel trusting enough to let go of the need to control others. Relationships offer a path to freedom now, if you're open to revolutionizing your approach.

Libra (September 23 - October 23)

You stepped into a new life, but now it's time to pause and return inward for more visioning. Consult your dreams and intuition to clarify what serves your spirit. Work might feel chaotic or beyond your control, but you need to find time to slow down. In July you'll be ready for a relaunch, based on what you discover on your inner quest.

Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)

Having reconsidered your professional goals, you're now ready to take your work in a new direction. You're being called to step into the spotlight in a bigger way and take the risk of being seen. Trust that you'll be supported when you follow the guidance of your heart. Stay connected with your heart by taking advantage of the opportunities for fun and pleasure that are being presented.

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)

You've been in a process of freeing yourself from old beliefs and emotional patterns, and are reshaping your path of service as a result. Now it's time to take concrete steps to restructure your work life in a way that supports your inner expansion. To pursue this new direction, you may need more training or education — make your choice based on what feels the most inspiring.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)

Your mind might be racing with a whirlwind of exciting ideas and perspectives, shedding light on new opportunities for professional growth. Don't let this mental acceleration and expansion distract you from your own inner wisdom. You're being called to bring your work into greater alignment with your personal ethics and integrity, which requires listening to that subtle inner voice and letting go of other people's opinions.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 19)

Being in the financial flow means rolling with the changes and releasing the need to control circumstances or know how it's all going to work out. Stay focused on the bigger picture and trust that fluctuations in income are part of coming into greater alignment with divine order. You may need to renegotiate or let go of a financial partnership in order to expand into a greater state of abundance.

Pisces (February 20 - March 20)

If people in your life seem less than enthusiastic about the new directions you're choosing, they may need time to adjust to the new you. You're waking up to your desires and feeling confident enough to act on them, expanding into a more authentic expression of self. Move slowly in relationships to ensure that there's space and support for your personal revolution.
