The month begins with a new moon in Aries on April 5 bringing fresh energies to what could have been a stagnant or quite heavy few months for many people. As Saturn edges nearer to Pluto, with the south node sandwiched between, people will look back on this era as a time of austerity, difficulty, hardship, and darkness — not the greatest period in human history. So we have to be thankful for small mercies when they appear, those little glimmers of light and hope shining through the cracks. That’s what Aries brings.

Although things might not change dramatically in the world at large, we can at least make some kind of progress in our personal lives, even if it’s just a burst of optimism and energy that inspires us to do more or lifts our spirits, making us nicer people to be around. We might need to be patient, however, because Saturn’s square to this new moon suggests that things won’t come easily. So if we want something, we will either have to work for it or adopt a patient approach, maybe a bit of both.
