The Year of the Wood Dragon.

Every 60 years we are graced with the fertile and balanced presence of the wood Dragon! The Dragon is also known as the ”lung”, the breath, the life force and it rules over water, lakes, rivers, seas. If we separate the myth from the five elements (water, wood, fire, earth, metal), we can understand the importance of water and wood; one nourishes the other but wood (trees, plant life) also protects us from floods and land slides. The symbolism of a dragon is also used in topography, for example, we avoid building on ‘red dragons’, meaning hills where the soil is red, pure clay, as it is highly unstable. Whether you are interested in the practical aspect or the mythological representation, the Year of the Wood Dragon graces us with the following gifts.

Prosperity, confidence, resolve, good fortune, wisdom, nurture, love for nature and adventure, growth on a personal and collective level,, strengthening foundations, out of the box thinking, creativity, diplomacy, social grace and perseverance, are gifts that the wood dragon bestows upon us.

April 2024.

Hello April fools’ day! The joke is on us, human beings, thinking we can control life. Travel bloopers, miscommunications, delays and cancellations are enough to test your patience. Passion colors your thought process, urges and desires, April 5-29. Needless to say, care is needed to not cross over the line to obsession, rudeness or aggression. When possible, avoid signing anything… Despite the mayhem that lasts all month, love, money, art and beauty related matters, can get a positive infusion between April 1-6. Actually on the 3-4th, things can get so dreamy and creative, a connection to reality may be necessary.

On April 5-6th you feel brave with love and money moves, a sentiment amplified by new beginnings after the 8th. Try not to leap into, a project solely driven by your emotions, or into a relationship because you are smitten, as there is also a connection to old wounds present. So long as this wound has healed, then by all means move forward. If not, and the road is too bumpy for you 7-18, use it to regroup and begin a coaching or therapy program.

On April 10-11th the astral chemistry (Mas conjuncts Saturn) can help you hit the brakes, literally and figuratively, should you need to. A restriction can be a guardrail in disguise. Use diplomacy, not attack, in dealings with authority or authority figures. You can make amends, particularly with males. Look out for accidents in institutions, pharmaceuticals or the nautical industries. Scandals can also burst in the above mentioned areas, including the entertainment industry.

Are you a political or industrial leader? It may seems utopic, if not a joke, to you but oppressiveness and tyrannical deeds will come into a collision orbit with Karma April 17-18 or 24-25.

On the 19-20th, a project with solid foundations, is fertilized and moves forward. This occurs under the astro umbrella of lucky Jupiter meeting up with innovative Uranus, April 18-21. These two planets meet every 12 years and this specific cosmic rendezvous brings unexpected developments and luck in practical, earthy matters, like real estate investments, banking, commerce, as it occurs in comfort loving Taurus. What is noteworthy here is that these auspicious developments refer to projects that you have diligently worked on for a while (6 months to 2 years, depending on your chart).

However, this is not the time for great risks: a) Mercury is still retrograde, b) transformative Pluto squares the Sun 20-22 and c) the Full Moon on the 24th illuminates power games and abuse of power. Translation? a) communication is unclear, b) old wounds and power games can deplete your energy levels and c) what is hidden and what surfaces, can catch you off guard. What to do? Keep your poker face on and confuse your opponent. If you can’t, postpone the game or consult an expert.

On April 28-29 bubbles burst, literally and figuratively. Accidents at sea are emphasized and so is our collective responsibility towards our watery world. On April 30th an auspicious three week love and money cycle begins, as Venus visits her other favorite offspring, sweet, practical, comfort loving and hard headed Bull.

Pluto demands drastic, humanitarian oriented rebirth. Neptune engages Jupiter’s assistance to protect his watery offspring. Mother Earth takes her power back-her watery children included!

Pluto in anthropocentric Aquarius demands drastic, humanitarian oriented rebirth. Pluto also rules the shadows, what is hidden. The Full Moon on April 24th illuminates those dark corners of our collective and personal soul, along with the powers that be.

HEALTH

Here is the astral inside scoop on taking care of your body. Don’t forget to show some love to your hands (wrists), feet (ankles), head, throat, lymphatic system and emotional world. Avoid excessive consumption, addictive habits, people, situations, the whole lot! Get truly informed about earth grown products; clean soil and fair trade are not just popular titles. Your life’s quality depends on them. Volunteering, group activities, meditation, and contact with nature, can work wonders! Keep your temper in check, sense of humor, and love for life.

THE ELEMENTS IN APRIL

Earth and water have a strong presence all month but so does fire. Air is also present. Wood is the element that can tame these conflicting energies (aggressive, controlling, nebulous or aloof). This means, in order to balance your drive and passions with emotion and logic, you will need the help of nature: a walk in the woods or better yet participating in reforestation activities. Use caution at sea. Should you defend your values? Yes! Impose them? No, no!

MAJOR PLANETS RETROGRADE: what’s in it for you?

During April, Mercury, the ruler of travel, contracts, commerce, exchange and mobility is retrograde, causing delays, cancellations, computer and technology glitches and inability to communicate clearly. Do keep in mind that retrogrades can also give us a chance to gather our thoughts and energy. You can review a proposal, organize overdue paperwork, end a troubled friendship, affair, or business partnership, and begin anew. Normally, delays can be frustrating, but in many cases, these delays are actually blessings in disguise.

Astro-highlight for April 2024: Taskmaster, tenacious, hard work rewarding, albeit limiting, Saturn, is activated by lucky and expansive Jupiter during April but also Mars on the 10-11th! The wheels are set back in motion but just like a good poker player, know when to fold. Have you been patient, worked hard, consistently, and kept an open mind to changes? You are slowly coming out of the woods and depending on your chart, your hard work begins to pay off, as April ends. You probably are exhausted, like an athlete is, a few meters before the finish line. Keep plugging along, and don’t give up now, your finish line is in front of you, on April 19th or 30th, depending on your chart!

The Moon οn April 2024.

Astro Tip for the Cardinal zodiac family (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, or people with points to your charts here); the North Node (Karmic evolution) at 15 degrees Aries (birthday April 4 and South Node (inherited DNA) 15degrees Libra (October 6). Collect good Karma, understand that limits can be a blessing in disguise: remember how you were treated in the past and don’t fall for the same act again or if you were the one who faltered, making amends is recommended (the truth excavator Pluto is now direct). Do not be dictatorial, especially if you are a political leader with your Sun/Ascendant or points on Aries/Cancer and Libra/Capricorn.

Be specific, write it down if necessary before you confront the other end and make a decision that is fair to both sides. Your good manners can lead to a surprise on the 28th.” Following up on a personal or business partnership situation, with fairness and your infamous diplomatic skills, is crucial. The eclipse and new moon across your Sun on the 8th*, illuminates this. Technology, mobility, contracts and equipment are under a dizzy spell all month, thanks to Mercury’s retrograde motion, and forcing any situation, will be proven futile for most of us out there.

Your ruler Venus helps iron the creases after the end of the month.

My dear Archer, March colors April and suggests: “keep your energy and optimism, your focus, and successfully manage your family and other affairs… as April rolls in.” Although you have entered a new transformative era of development regarding contracts, agreements, intellectual pursuits, travel, commerce and trade, April is not the month to aggressively push such matters forward. Family, your own or a parent, can run your battery low. What to do? You are favored in the love and money zones April 5-28. How to navigate during a retrograde month? You may get either positive feedback on the 5-6th, 8th, or a chance to expand 18-21, regarding an important project, that can generate substantial income. Sign nothing before the 25th (unless otherwise indicated by your chart), put your poker face on the 10-11th, 19-20th, or 20-22nd, look out for a bubble that bursts on the 28-29th and reap the rewards after the 30th.

Capricorn

Happy April Capricorn!

Male, penetrating energy, comes from Mars. Female, receptive energy, comes from Venus. This month Mars is in your zone of communication! Venus is in your zone of communication until the 4th, family until the 29th and creativity after!

Oh majestic goat of epic achievements! What part of March spills into the first ten days of April? “Your family may not be pleased with the changes; it really is up to you to approach sensitive issues, with, well, sensitivity..” Those changes refer mostly to home related matters, such as remodeling, relocating, moving in with a person the family disapproves of, or a creative project. You may want to communicate your desires clearly but the recipient and you are not in sync, as chatty Mercury is retrograde until the 25th. What to do? Avoid acting impulsively or use harsh words (Karma is vivid) with family around the 8th* and a friend or elder on the 10-11th. Take a step back, plug along with the fun part of your story and allow serendipity to surprise you on the 18-21. Become allergic to power games on the 20-22. Good news from your social network on the 24th, your communications on the 28-29th and the creative front after the 30th.

What does the year of the Wood Dragon hold for you? Although you are traditionally considered the most ambitious or harsh star child, the Wood Dragon can bestow upon you nurture, love for nature and adventure, and growth.

During this new 20-year cycle, you can rebuild your reality through sensible financial choices. A Life Coach or consultant can help you maintain an emotional connection. How to make the most of 2024?

Aquarius

Happy April Aquarius!

Male, penetrating energy, comes from Mars. Female, receptive energy, comes from Venus. This month Mars is in your zone of finances! Venus is in your zone of finances until the 4th, communication until the 29th and family after!

You funky H2O carrier, you! What does March whisper to April, that can make this a financially auspicious month, after the 25th? “Maturity and kindness bring a serendipitous reward on the 28th.” In essence, do not waste a cash infusion around the 8th. Old habits die hard; besides money, an innovative star child such as yourself, can come up with other unique ways to impress a new love connection! With communication hiccups and delays until the 25th*, becoming combative on the 10-11th or worst yet, on the 20-22nd , especially with an elder family member, will be more destructive for you and your endeavors (including contracts and agreements), than anyone else. Balance your electrifying energy with a new work out or volunteer, and keep your body and relationships healthy. Lucky Jupiter connects with your astro-dad Uranus all month, in crescendo April 18-21! Translation? An investment or real estate project can burst your bank account at the seems!

What does the year of the Wood Dragon hold for you?

My dear offspring of Poseidon! What part of March spills into the first twelve days of April? “Your mature behavior (Saturn)… is rewarded… Go getter Mars enters your sign on the 23rd and although this can boost your plans, it could make some of you accident prone, so mind your wrists and ankles.” Mars is in your sign all month and with communications guru Mercury in a dizzy spell until the 25th, you can be overwhelmed with money matters on the 8th, and frazzled on the 10-11th; drive safe and be careful with all appliances. Organize a trip but try not to book it or sign anything, unless otherwise indicated by your chart, before the 30th. However, the planet of action can push an agreement forward on April 19-20, that could consequently lead to unexpected expansion (a move or upgrade) during April 18-21 or 24*. Stay away from intrigue or power games on the 20-22 or deceit on the 28/29th. Breathe; it all comes together after the 30th…
