This Gun's For Hire

You can't start a fire without a spark.
               -Bruce Springsteen

Every now and then, an eclipse comes along that galvanizes new action and opportunities quickly.  This New Moon/Solar Eclipse in fiery Aries is very likely one of those times.  Hang onto your hats as a fresh influx of people, places or enterprises enters your world, possibly within a couple of weeks, via the life area ruled by Aries in your chart (see sign forecasts).  

Though it's a month for making major strides forward, especially after April 5, and initiating new action in bold ways, Pluto turning retrograde at the New Moon also suggests an in-depth review, renewal or transformation of the area ruled by Scorpio in our lives (see sign forecasts).  

Mars (ruler of Aries) and Pluto (retrograde) as planetary themes this month give us plenty of fire power to create the new and eliminate or renovate the old.  Activities involving metal or fire (golf anyone?) or requiring a competitive spirit may prove especially satisfying.  Venus trine Mars in air signs at this New Moon makes striking up conversations and getting to know new people relatively easy.

Exercise courage and begin something truly new this month, especially after April 5.  (And don't forget to set your clocks ahead April 2.) Saturn's station on April 5 will reveal how well you've laid the foundations for your goals.  When Mars squares the eclipse point near April 29, you may find you've triggered really good results.
