Destiny Is All - April Stars

April stars are entitled Destiny Is All because the North Node destiny point is aspected all month long, AND it is the start of eclipse season.  KEY TAKEAWAYS April does not have the intense aspects of March which has been epic. The major shifts for humanity that have been encouraged, proposed or forced by the planets have been powerful, intense and really life-changing and we haven’t really got to grips with what they’ve meant so far.  However, April has the opportunities to move forward personally and for humanity. The North Node is highly active and this is our destiny/mission point. You don’t have to take the mission, but can find yourself dragged back to the South Node, especially if you have lots of planets or a significant part of your chart is South Node-based, you will replay some of those things and perhaps you need to. The North and South Nodes signify the Rahu and Ketu, a dragon with the head and tail urging us forward to process our karma. April is the start of eclipse season, which always happen around the North Node and the South Node - within 30 degrees of the Nodes – the closer, the more powerful the eclipse is. The Solar Eclipse in April is at the 29 degree point of Aries and will be the  second New Moon in Aries this year. The Mercury Retrograde breaks the APDM (All Planets in Direct Motion) and delves into Taurean aka ‘earthly’ themes. I predict we’ll be having increased discussion and debate about corporate climate change vs cyclical climate change, sustainable farming, food supplies, taxes and money.  All Taurus themes. BEST MOMENTS‘Pluto, the lord of shadow, is squaring the nodes and forcing us to deal with the unsavoury aspects of the past and look to the future of the planet as represented by Taurus.’‘The Full Moon in Libra draws us into a vision for the future, which may be false and maybe idealised.’‘The Earth doesn’t want to be a factory, it wants to be much more sustainable, much more ecologically principled. That’s the heavenly Taurean idea, everyone’s comfortable, everyone’s happy and Taurus is in the field like Ferdinand the bull.’‘Governments all over the world are trying to take control of our food supply. This is North Node in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius with their squares.’ ABOUT THE HOST Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/venusandvesta/?hl=en   Website - https://www.venusandvesta.com  Ann-Louise Holland is a shamanic homoeopath, herbalist and astrologer.  She teaches astrology along with Steiner based anthroposophy, both of which are concerned with cultural events that bring about humanity's evolution and awareness to the soul's journey.  Venus & Vesta is a podcast about astrology for astrologers, monthly updates on the movements of the planets and asteroids, weekly detailed discussions, aligning the stars with what is happening in the world.
