Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope | April 8 – April 14, 2024
Trouble with a family member is working your last nerve. You have done everything in your power to try to get this person to see reason, but they are bent on making things harder on themselves than need be. Others would have given up long ago, but the message of the Mars/Saturn conjunction in Pisces on April 10th is that people need love most when they deserve it the least. This may not do much today, but trust that it will weeks from now. What can you say? You’ve always had a soft spot for Prodigal sons (and daughters). Probably because you were once one yourself.

Recent actions may have put people’s noses out of joint so it might be wise to cool it for a while. Conventional wisdom says you always want to strike when the iron’s hot and to keep on striking until you’ve won, but this would alienate those whose support you’ll need in the future. Let everyone have time to talk amongst themselves and to compare notes. You never want to push when Mars is conjunct Saturn (April 10th) because it will only result in the other party pushing back. Adopt a laid-back approach and people will eventually come around to seeing things from your perspective.

A surprise dismissal (or departure) leaves you next in line for a coveted position, but do you really want to fill these big shoes? Most people answer with their ambition first, but you were born under a zodiac sign that likes to study a situation. You’ll examine the fit, the feel, and the feasibility. An eclipse in Aries always brings a sense of urgency, but you know full well that there’s a process to deciding a successor so let competitors clamor for attention. Those in charge know what you’re like and if they decide that you’re it then they also know where to find you.

You’re going to feel stifled when Mars conjoins Saturn on April 10th. Mars, your Ruler, is a “pedal to the metal” planet and expects to progress towards its goal without interruption. Unfortunately Saturn, the other planet occupying the same space, is a “ride the brake” energy; it slows you down the more you try to speed up. The best way to work with this is to examine matters dispassionately. Are people holding you back or are you allowing people to hold you back because of some mistaken sense of loyalty? Tough questions, but ones worth asking at a time when you could use some guidance.

The solar eclipse in Aries on April 8th should herald a dramatic departure, but instead you’ll be fumbling with your shoelaces at the starting gate. It looks like you’re not as prepared as you think for that next big step and you may even be plagued by second thoughts. This isn’t the time to explain away internal reservations that may have a point. Yes, doubts weaken resolve but sometimes it’s only when we’re at the crossroads that we see clearly. If you need to call a halt to the proceedings then do it. A pause in the action to reflect wouldn’t be the worst thing.

A solar eclipse in that part of your solar chart that pertains to partnerships and open enemies leaves you questioning whether one has become the other? Take marriage for example. A spouse may start out as the love of your life, but if your relationship sours then they can become unrelentingly vindictive during a divorce. This can apply to love, business, or a creative collaboration. In any case there’s a way to sever ties without getting nasty and that depends on what you propose. You know this person’s standing is weak so being generous when you don’t have to be will go a long way.

Is someone thwarting your every move or does it just feel that way? It’s hard to tell when Mars conjoins Saturn in your sign. Pisces tends to see the world synchronistically. What’s happening on the inside often manifests itself on the outside so it isn’t easy deciphering if your unconscious is trying to tell you something or if circumstances really are intolerable. The best way to deal with this energy is to ask. That way if someone really is trying to hold you back, you’ll find out why and then you can decide if this is something you want to put up with or not.

Mercury’s retrograde motion combined with a Mars/Saturn conjunction at the top of your solar chart warns against jumping the gun. The whole point of perfect timing is in being able to read what’s going on and choosing the right moment to act. Needless to say, this week is not the right moment. There is such a confluence of contrary energies at work that nothing sustainable can come of this cosmic admixture. Wait until Mercury comes out of retrograde on April 25th. That may seem crazy given what’s going down but many minds will change and those in the lead will have lost it by then.

As an Aquarius, you possess the unique ability to step outside the moment and review a situation remotely. This comes in handy this week when all the Chicken Littles will be racing about declaring that the sky is falling. It’s not, but you’ll need to keep your cool while everyone else is losing theirs. It looks like you may be facing a financial predicament stemming from the fact that someone who promised to deliver decided to renege. The Stars show you remedying matters, but there will need to be some fundamental changes moving forward – and your success gives you the clout to make them.

This is the first Solar Eclipse in the zodiac sign of Aries since 2006. This is especially powerful because the Sun is exalted in Aries and the eclipse itself will be taking place at 19 degrees Aries β the degree of the Sun’s exaltation.
Solar Eclipses traditionally spelled trouble for monarchs and other public figures but over the years they’ve taken on a more consciousness-raising aspect because it’s during a solar eclipse that we recognize the need to get right with heaven.
In ancient times this was a call to repent because people often blamed themselves for the Sun disappearing from the sky and, like with any crisis, it was only by promising to be good that the Sun would be restored again; nowadays eclipses are more about finding your way back to the path you should be on.
Whether you’re slightly out of step or wildly lost will become clear on April 8th. Moreover, given the sheer determination and grit of Aries, there’s no denying that you will do everything in your power to rectify your course.

This week proves revelatory when you see someone who’s always practiced supreme self-control β blow it. Maybe they waited too long to exercise their prerogative or suffered from a last minute bout of cold feet; in any case they’ve lost their lead and won’t regain it soon. So what can you take away from this? It doesn’t matter how accomplished, experienced, or clever somebody is β everyone is fallible. Put this revelation to use by easing up on those expectations you burden yourself with and regarding mistakes as stepping-stones rather than setbacks. After all: how will you ever learn from your blunders if you don’t make them?
