HOROSCOPE April-May by W:. Leon Calafiore
Aries (Mar21-Apr20): With so many fingers in so many pies, you’ll have to sit back in your potting shed, kick off your boots, and text with your toes. Some of the pies will get together and compare notes towards the middle of the month, so prepare to bunk in your shed while associates are shedding you.
Taurus (Apr 21-May20): My, won’t your April start off with a bang! Just when your Sun swings into Taurus, a full Moon jumps into Scorpio across from you, and clubs you right in the noggin. Whether you stand still stunned, or rampage in a rage, tearing up the turf in your paddock, is up to you.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Passing influences cast a chilling breeze over your newly planted rows. This does not mean that your seedlings will not prosper, merely that you should keep a finger in the air, and cosset the sprouts during expected frosts on the third weeks of April and May.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Those pincers will be clacking big time starting April 12, when your Moon and Mars get together for a play date in your pergola. Ignore their suggestions that you rip up everything and start all over again. Show some restraint, and edit, don’t demolish.
Leo (July 23-Aug 22): For most of April, your thumb is green, and you inhabit your own microclimate. While you are, for a time, protected from the elements, the dome will be taken off mid May, and should you utilize this quiet time for sticking to your regimen (or starting one), you will be a prize winning bloom, without the Miracle-Grow.
Virgo (Aug 23-Sept 22): Fight the tendency to throw off too many lateral roots and suckers; you’re in danger of being declared an invasive species, which will lead to being pulled out by the roots. Consider your neighbors before you make another power grab for all the things that make your current situation viable
Libra (Sept 23-Oct 22): Everything may be coming up roses, but you need to have a care to keep the grubs off your buds before you fully blossom. While you are not unaware that the Garden of Earthly Delights can turn savage, you have been a bit lax about warding off admiring hands. Time to put out a few thorns.
Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21): All those trines in April and May would be, for some, a willow fence that would keep others within bounds, but not you. They lift up the underbrush, keep the gates from fully closing, and dare you to go a’ wandering. Could you ask for anything more?
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21): Time to face the consequences of putting your roots down too deeply, you’ve become pot bound. Keep in mind that circumstances change with time. Your present constrictions can either be an excuse for wilting, or an opportunity to gather your strength to bust through at the end of May.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19): Dust off those master plans, and stake out a daring new group of gardens for yourself. If there was ever a time to gather whims and put them into action, the end of April would be it. Just don’t improvise, work from your original concepts.
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18): Don’t be Koi. Just because the tines of Neptune’s trident are stirring up the sediment at the bottom of your pond, it’s only to expose the lotus seeds hidden in the muck. As they reach up to the light in May, so should you. By the time their delicate blossoms surface, so should you, to the admiration of all.
Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20): Both the Esther Williams water spectacles and the Creature from the Black Lagoon depended on exotic plantings in the background to set the mood. Saturn in your deep focus, while Uranus slowly carries a potted palm through your life leads to a static frame, leads to a static frame in April. In May, attempt to uncurl your fronds.
