What does the April Eclipse mean for you?

Go on, admit it. The past few weeks have been pretty tense. Either you have lost sleep worrying about work or something on the home front has left you feeling pretty rattled. The reason is simple; as of this week, we move into some of the most amazing and intense astrological energies you can imagine.

There are some weeks when not much at all happens in the skies and there are weeks when it’s so full-on it's hard to know where to begin. This week falls into the second category. However these days, with all our yoga and our essential oils and our chanting and our affirmations and New Moon wish lists… Surely we are all conscious enough to want to use these energies wisely? Or are we?

The first thing to be aware of is that the energy swirling now is largely connected to; the eclipses, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. Mars is the anger planet, Jupiter is the lucky planet, Uranus is the planet of change and Pluto is the planet of transformation. And the eclipses? They are when we get back on track.

The planets mentioned above are forming what's known as a Grand Cross, a rare configuration that's causing a lot of excitement in astrological circles. Push is coming to shove. People are showing their hands and showing their true colours.


Stay up to date with your horoscopes

It can also be the start and finish of things. Think back to what began for you around August 1999, the time of the last Grand Cross. That could have something to do with what's going on now. Perhaps you are taking what you started then to the next level.

If something has to change in your life and you are somehow stopping it from doing so, that's where the upset can come. On the other hand, if you are prepared to accept that life is all about cycles and and new cycle is starting in April, then what happens next can be liberating, revolutionary and exciting.

If you have some kind of big work presentation or project going on and it's happening in April, then hang on tight – what follows could be amazing! And if your love life is in the spotlight and you're wondering which way it's going to go, then … ditto!

This is a month to get really clear on what you want and to let other people know. It's a chance to live really consciously. The more you act in integrity, the better the outcome. The more you embrace change, the better the outcome. The more you focus on solutions, the better the outcome. Yes, it's an exciting time!

For those of you who would like to connect with the energies, April 15, April 19-23 and April 29 are the peak dates. These are the dates to do a daily meditation and pay special attention to the messages you’re getting from your higher self.

The April eclipse will take place at 5.42pm on Tuesday April 15.
