April 2023: Mars in Cancer, Solar Eclipse, Mercury Retrograde etc.

April 2023 is a turning point. Despite the hectic emotional field, the beginning of the month feels very energetic. This active charge can be put to good use, but not universally. Though if it comes to establishing or rearranging the matters of mundane life or ensuring the security and comfort of one’s family and home the moment is good. Emotional reactivity, however, is pretty high, but sufficient self-control will help to avoid mistakes.

The first week of the month is characterised by a provocative informational environment. The general atmosphere is tense. Feisty rhetoric raises the level of aggression and disagreement as well as fear. It is hard to withstand getting involved with collective tendencies.

Ambitions and egotistical appetites are rising, but the capability to fulfil own expectations is unreliable and strongly depends on the current mood. Towards the end of the second week, the financial opportunities for some will turn into financial limitations if not losses for others.

Coming up to the solar eclipse on the 20th suspense gradually increases. The informational field is uneven with a chance of shocking news and extravagant communicational strategies. The time is stressful for most authority characters. The leadership of any level is at serious risk of being challenged.

The last week of the month requires effort to notice and use the opportunities. Communication, collaboration and partnership, though seemingly stagnant, would help to develop new approaches and feed enthusiasm.

The month, especially its second part, is accident-prone. With Mercury turning to retrograde the chance of new fruitful agreements and bureaucratic proceedings decreases. Yet, new unconventional ideas of resolution to some long-standing deeds might first emerge at this point, to later develop into something practical. Principally, temperance and resilience are good advisors throughout this turbulent April.
