WEEKLY REVIEW BY PHASES OF THE MOON
1 April: Moon’s First Quarter in Cancer
”
The new moon highlights several aspects in your life. You learn a lot from all your recent tribulations, and worries, which streamlines your life on all fronts. You cut down on extravagance and unnecessary spending and realize that, with the right attitude and some fine-tuning, you can cope well. You learn to be positive and will introspect on why and how all this is happening. There are many pinpricks and you must cope, as there is no choice. You can’t sink now. So you gather close friends and family and share the issues facing you and enlist support which is very forthcoming. You win them all over so that you stand united now as a team of force to be reckoned with. With this approach and mindset, your obstacles also get obliterated.”
8 April: Full Moon in Libra
”
All the bonding experienced over the past two weeks gets you very close to family and it is a very emotional period. The problems are slowly working themselves out and the family is taking the load off your chest. All this goes a long way in dealing with future issues too. Once all this is put on the back burner, you are aware of the need to look at some fun too. It has been a rough time and you have to balance it all out with some entertainment and diversions. There is respite and you have handled your crises well. Ganesha is pleased with the way you have gone about solving your problems and your affairs.”
14 April: Moon’s Last Quarter in Capricorn
”
You look for beauty now that you have emerged from the depths. You have battled the odds and are now happy with the achievements you have made. You feel much more confident and also positive, and ready to embark on a spree of partying, entertaining and enjoying yourself. Money matters ease off, new deals are on the anvil, and there is respite, despite the warming up of the planet! You will make many purchases and do up the home and office to reflect your upbeat mood. You need a happy environment to work and live in, and you spare no effort and money to realize that.”
23 April: New Moon in Taurus
”
You put on your thinking cap and make more plans. You play a more proactive role in family matters and in the community. You like to be listened to and your orders obeyed. Don’t get too aggressive or autocratic as it may meet with opposition and resentment. You have a tendency to want to get your point across all the time and these tactics could be interpreted as bullying by others. While you like to have your way always, try to be more gracious about it. Learn to take a few steps backwards sometimes to score a point. Your work proceeds smoothly and you present a bright, clean image to the world. Sometimes, it is necessary to go slow on the ‘leader’ image that is so inherently a part of your psyche. It makes no sense to gather enemies as circumstances change all the time in life and you never know whom you will need and when. Life is like politics — it makes strange bedfellows!”
30 April: Moon’s First Quarter in Leo
”
This is a very good period in which you are in a positive frame of mind and also display great style. You emerge a winner at both work as well as play. You manage to overcome everything that is thrown at you in every sphere of activity. You also display a spiritual bent of mind. This will hold you in good stead in all your relationships. You are able to unwind and look at every situation with equanimity. While you do all this, you also embark on new projects, which promise to do well. Luck is on your side and it is up to you to grab the opportunities and seize the moment.”
