Saturn Mars and debilitated Mercury create a 'War' in the sky in Pisces. This karmic intensity conjunction coincides with Akshaya Tritiya, day of lasting achievements. What does this mean? I give what each Ascendent should be mindful of. Suggestions: listen to Hanuman Chalisa Audio and Mahamrtyunjaya mantra  Audio on the 19th 

Mercury enters Pisces, its sign of debilitation April 10- 30th. This further throws a wrench into things as Mercury rules communication, commerce and finances. As much as we seek a quick and congruent agreements on things, we get things slowed down, confused, too many options hit us and we feel like we aren't going anywhere but stressed out. Sun enters Aries on the 14th, This is also a day to avoid doing intense or demanding work, best to take the day off. This will not be a good day for governments, Leo ascendents and those running Sun Dasha/Time period. 

This episode gets listeners ready for the month. We have some tricky and sensitive days ahead; the 13th and 19th in particular. Abigail suggests listeners to embody the 'heyam dukham anagatam' phrase of averting the dangers yet to come, with choosing 'harmony' or sattva over rajas and tamas. 

How funny that we start April off with a Full Moon in Virgo, in Hasta 'hand' nakshatra/lunar mansion that connects us to joking and laughter. This Full Moon isn't any slight of hand, it is a nice fun reprieve from the hectic Jan, Feb and March months. April also has a lot in store for us. Things are bumpy until June. I recap last week, Venus is not in Aries and Sun is moving away from Saturn. What it all means in this episode. 

Chaitra Navaratri, the spring time festival of the 9 days of the Goddess starts today, 19th, with the final day celebrated as Ram Navami on the 27th. Celebrating good winning over evil. Retrogrades are done for now. Last time we had all planets in a forward motion with no retrogradations was June of last year! So This is exciting and feel progressive. Tuesday and Wednesday of next week Sun and Saturn are crossing over each other. Next week is the thick of it, the tension is high, things feel tight, a lot of pressure. With Sun transiting over Saturn, our digestion, cardiovascular,  our immunity, our spine, general health stuff all will feel weak, slow, sluggish and prone to tension, pain, irregularity in its function, feeling old and bogged down, don’t like the scrooge-ness of Saturn come into you. Pass the phase with a witness attitude and hydrate and use good oils in your diet and proper sleep, release stress and notice the ego battles and power plays happening. Thursday of next week Venus goes into Aries, next week we will talk about this- what it means to have Venus transit Aries. 

Every planet is doing something integral this week: After a bumpy lunar eclipse we are trying to find our footing .Jupiter goes direct giving us a pep of positivity in our step. Venus is exalted, we get idealistic in love, but conjoins Saturn bring in the role of exploitation in relationships and can cause grief in not getting the love we want. Sun combusts Saturn causing power play and ego battles- who will win? Mercury is retrograde making things with communication a little bit more tough, with Mars and Rahu super close together motivation is tough to come by. Next week all planets will be hemmed between the nodes, causing extra volatility.  Luckily Goddess worship in the Festival of Navaratri provides a silver lining. How to navigate all this?
