Cosmic Daily

There's no sense playing the April Fool as a new month begins. Mercury is beginning to pick up speed as it nears its top rate of over 2 degrees of motion per day by April 11. This can help communications across the board. You can also tap into a supportive, 60-degree rapport between the Sun in Aries and Moon in Aquarius (8:29AM EST). While there is an air of buoyancy and exuberance, storm warnings are still posted because Ceres makes an awkward, 150-degree link to Pluto (8:40AM EST) while the distant planet of the underworld is on the verge of a retrograde station.

The Pluto turn-around officially occurs at 6:22AM EST tomorrow, but the energy-field of transformation, metamorphosis and emotional catharsis is building up in momentum all of today. Fortunately, a mentally-exuberant Venus-Pallas parallel clocks in at 2:37PM EST. Being a savvy problem-solver who knows the score in business matters will give you the edge over the competition.

Healing forces are back on the march as the Moon makes its monthly union with Chiron (10:20PM EST). Take a good look at your diet and nutritional needs. Meditate for peace of mind and dig a little deeper into your metaphysical studies. If primary partnerships seem a bit off-kilter, you may be tuning into a Mercury-Juno square from Pisces to Sagittarius (2:59AM EST). Pushing your own agenda too far and too fast can boomerang against you. Compassion and sensitivity are warranted when sharing with dear ones as the Moon unites with Neptune in Aquarius (exact at 5:15AM EST tomorrow). Keep a notebook by your bed to record nocturnal wanderings in the astral realm.
