Hello and welcome to your astrology forecast for April 2011. Instead of a short forecast for each star sign, I will be giving you the “big picture” –the biggest celestial influences this month on the whole of humanity. But don’t worry; that includes YOU, of course!

In fact, the relationship between you and the rest of the human family is one of this month’s hot astro topics. Jupiter and Uranus are now both in Aries, and a whole new era is beginning. This is a rare planetary alignment that started March 13, and it’s a powerful time for you personally, for the whole of humanity, and for planet Earth as well.

So let’s see now…Uranus is the planet of revolution, and Jupiter is the planet of the heart, so what do we get…? A revolution of the heart. Holy ram’s horns! What will that feel like?

Actually, it’s rather beautiful. Right now, Uranus and Jupiter are sending massive amounts of inspiration, courage and Divine Love directly into your heart chakra to trigger a revolution in your personal life. Aha! That explains why you want to eliminate everything that doesn’t deeply nourish you. For starters, sack your Inner Critic. How? By moving your attention from your mind (self-judgements and endless worrying) down into your heart chakra (natural well-spring of self-confidence, inner calm and strength). Cultivate patience and compassion for yourself first, and then everyone around you.

What will happen next? That depends on how long you’ve been at it! At the beginning, you’ll get chaos, but that’s just how revolutions start, so don’t panic. Visualize an “Inner Cheer Squad”. Affirm that this is a vibrational upgrade.

By the way, these astrological predictions about Uranus in Aries which I have just shared with you align perfectly with the end of the Mayan calendar, and the prophecies of the Hopi Indians. It is the trigger for geo-physical upheaval around the globe. Tragically, lives have been lost, but the more you personally embrace your mini-revolution, the faster the Earth’s magnetic field will re-stabilize. I’m not kidding. Now more than ever before, your choices ripple out instantly to touch and heal Mother Earth and the collective consciousness. You ARE your neighbour. You ARE your lover/partner/spouse. You ARE the people of Japan. You ARE the people of Christchurch.

Your Astro-Mantra for the new moon in Aries, April 4:  “I take full responsibility for expanding the love in my heart, in my relationships, and in my life. I allow Love to enter and transform me.”

What to expect after the full moon in Libra, April 18: The fun and joy you experience from April 18 to 31 will directly reflect the love in your heart. This is also an auspicious time for forgiving old enemies and giving up your old wars.

What’s best to leave until AFTER April 23 (Mercury retrograde from March 31 to April 23); Signing any type of legal contract. Important work meetings. Negotiations requiring ace communication. Marriage proposals. Making jokes at job interviews. Going to unfamiliar destinations in the dark.

In a nutshell, it’s time to be revolutionary in your own idiosyncratic yet amazing way. Be great. Be love. Think love. Walk with love…And your guardian spirits will walk beside you and clear the path. Talk to you next month.

When you see humanity as one collective organism, you immediately see that whatever you do this month is immensely powerful. And just in case you think you can hide from this revolution like a cosmic bunny diving down a black hole, it’s best you know that Uranus stays in Aries until 2018!!! Yes, right through the Mayan “galactic alignment” of 2012 and beyond. Funny how western astrology and Mayan astrology link up, hey, not to mention the prophecies of the Hopi Indians!

In Third World countries, more force may be required because the oppression of the human heart has been so heavy-handed. In First World countries, the revolution of the heart will be a gigantic, powerful link-up of enlightened individuals. The next decade will bring the end of Big Daddy Corporations and Old Daddy Politicians, I’m telling you.
