Unpleasant period
The Sun transits in opposition in the seventh field in Aries , where it meets the New Moon on April 17th. Venus is also transiting in Aries but ends its opposition on March 30th, while Mars and Mercury enter Aries on April 9th and 15th, respectively. Among the slower-moving planets, the first decan receives the trine of Pluto in Aquarius and the oppositions of Saturn and Neptune in Aries , while the third decan is always involved in the square of Jupiter in Cancer . In short, you should perhaps expect a somewhat unpleasant period, with some annoyances or bad moods. In particular, it is best to be patient on days like March 25th and 26th, April 2nd, 9th, 10th, 16th, and 17th. The best days will be March 23rd, 28th, and 29th, and April 6th, 7th, and 11th.
Tolerance and adaptation
As we've seen, this isn't going to be an easy, calm, or ordinary month. Let's say it will be challenging, but the effort won't always be rewarded with results... or the results won't always be satisfying in the right proportion. It happens to everyone, from time to time; which doesn't reduce your frustration but can at least comfort you, in the certainty that these are normal, and above all temporary, phases. Moreover, it's true that Saturn and Neptune have moved into opposition , and it's true that Mars and Mercury will flank them from April 9th and 15th. But there are also encouraging prospects, in the medium and long term. In fact, Pluto is already in trine , Uranus will begin its own on April 26th, Jupiter will conclude its square and return to support on June 30th... and meanwhile, Venus , your guiding planet, will also gift you a lively trine starting April 24th. In short, even though the slow-moving planets primarily affect the first decan, they do so and will continue to do so equally, with both requests and support. In general, you can all count on a progressive and growing relaxation , allowing you to better tolerate and manage this somewhat challenging period. To enhance your personal awareness, consider the risks of reduced objectivity and increased irritability, which could translate into abrupt behavior or impulsive decisions, and thus into mistakes you may quickly regret… These risks are avoidable, or at least reducible, with an effort of tolerance and adaptation. Ultimately, this is the real challenge.
Diplomacy is better
At work, Mars is a bit tricky throughout the month, first transiting your sixth field and then opposition your seventh. From this perspective, Mercury 's proximity is at least partially supportive, allowing you to reflect before acting. It's true that you're confused, so reflection won't always help you regain clarity and efficiency, but it will still reduce any impulsiveness in your words or actions. That is, you might not achieve as many results, but you'll make fewer mistakes! You may feel a bit alone, unappreciated or unsupported by your coworkers, even hindered at times, and in these cases, it's difficult to determine how much of this is due to you or them. The fact remains that you can only do your part, which, however, will be invaluable if you commit—along with your part—to setting a good example. In short, don't react in a touchy or argumentative manner, or alternatively, don't retreat into a sullen silence: speak honestly, offer explanations and, if necessary, ask for them, explain what's bothering you and why, and possibly show yourself open (so to speak) to constructive criticism. Certain diplomatic behaviors often disarm your opponent more than a direct confrontation, which isn't your cup of tea anyway! In some cases, it's possible you're preparing for major changes, but perhaps it's best to wait until you're truly ready to do so through a conscious choice, not an emotional reaction. Meanwhile, relationships are also going through a tense phase, perhaps for reasons not directly related to the relationship but due to lack of time, a perceived bad mood, or the aftermath of past arguments that haven't been fully overcome. It's all the more worthwhile to seek clarification and perhaps restore harmony.
First decade
Mars will be in opposition from April 9th to 22nd, Mercury from the 15th to the 21st. These will be somewhat confusing, sometimes tense days, especially in relationships. With friends or colleagues, and in some cases even with your partner, you will be easily annoyed by requests, criticisms, and differing opinions. If you desire greater understanding or support, make an effort to be the first to demonstrate greater openness to discussion.
Second decade
At least until the end of March, Venus ' opposition , compounded by Jupiter 's square , seems to be weighing on your self-esteem. Avoid compensating with cocky attitudes; it's best to be cautious, especially financially. Even with your partner, you may display unusual jealousy and possessiveness, but there are better ways to ask for emotional reassurance.
Third decade
Venus is in opposition from March 22nd to 30th. Since there are no other transits to disturb you, this will simply be an unrewarding period, with possible bad moods in work relationships or especially in your relationship, perhaps even with some annoying mental and physical fatigue. Don't underestimate the need for relaxation and leisure, and allow yourself some moments of creative regeneration.
