ReadingCancer Summary
This will be one of the most powerful months of 2011 for your career, for you will have Uranus (surprise), Mars (energy), Mercury (news), Jupiter (powerful luck), the Sun (favor from authority), plus the new moon April 3, all in your house of honors and awards, an extraordinary situation that has never happened before.
Things will start to percolate briskly just after the new moon appears April 3, and with Mars conjoining Uranus on the same day, things will happen fast, in unusual or even strange ways. Entrepreneurial, unexplored paths will beckon that will allow you a great deal of freedom to run your own show. When you hear the offer, you will "catch fire" almost instantly. Don't rush ahead too quickly, however, because it will be critical that you look at the details and be knowledgeable about all industry and government standards and requirements. Not knowing could bring problems later, so you'll have to do your homework thoroughly.
The most important heavenly body in this gang of six, based in your prestigious tenth house of career, will be Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck. Remarkably, Jupiter will meet with the new moon on April 3, and the Sun on April 6, and the latter day is the day that could turn out to be your luckiest day of the year. Due to a void moon on April 5, circle April 5 as your best and luckiest day of the month, possibly of the year. Wow! You can talk, but don't put anything in stone yet, as Mercury is retrograde. Progress will delight you near April 5.
Saturn's opposition to the Sun at the very same time will steal some of the thunder, but it shows that your responsibilities would be heavy at home. The compensation for the new offer may be low, or it may be that you have a great many expenses, and writing checks might be painful at this time. Thankfully, Neptune will move out of your financial house this month on April 3 for the first time in fourteen years, and you will be thinking more clearly than ever when it comes to money.
Still, you may not take this particular position as it is presented. Mercury will be retrograde most of the month and will create delays and confusion over facts and details. Don't rush. You will need to wait until after Mercury regulates its orbit on April 23 before you can settle deals. Lingering concerns about the salary or about promises you've made to family may cause you to hesitate about jumping at a new offer. If you decline something in April, it seems you'll get a second chance in May.
Certainly this position seems special, but you'll find that nothing is quite easy. You may have to move or put up with a long commute. Family members who depend on you may be alarmed by the prospect of you not being there for them, and their concern may weigh heavily on you.
The conflict you have regarding your home or family situation will be resolved by the full moon, April 17, plus or minus four days. It is anyone's guess what you will decide, but the situation will become complicated by a difficult partner who will pressure you to accept a certain course of action that you won't like and will strongly resist. No one can tell you what to do - you know your own mind, so keep your own counsel. Keep talking with your partner, and try to stretch out the decision to make it later. You'll have a far better opportunity to come to a compromise on April 27, when Pluto is beautifully angled to the Sun.
Romantically, the move of Pluto, ruler of your house of true love, to retrograde April 9 to September 18 suggests the one for you may well be someone you already met. Concentrate on those who you love now, not someone new you might meet in the future. You may be overlooking sterling qualities in someone you love now, or used to love a while ago.
The move of Neptune to Pisces will herald a new area of clearer thinking in regard to your finances. Although Neptune will only spend a short time in better-for-you Pisces from April 4 to August 4, you will quickly see the benefits of Neptune's new placement in your chart. On August 4, Neptune will slide back to Aquarius for a while, so the important part to remember is that the future is bright. Neptune will return to beautiful Pisces in February 2012, not to leave until 2026. You'll love the change. Those difficult financial days you suffered, starting as far back as 2003 through today, are almost over. More fun is in store for you, too.

Capricorn Summary
This month will be all about your home and making it just as you always wanted it to be. Planets are bonding together to help you accomplish your dream in a way you've rarely seen. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime phase, as slow moving planets like Uranus and Jupiter are now on hand to help - the last time Uranus was in Aries, the place you need him to be to create big change, was 1927-1936, and the last time for Jupiter was in 1999! To get them at the same place at the same time is hard, but now, great news, when it comes to home and family - there is almost nothing you cannot accomplish!
You can move or stay and tear out walls, restructure your space, rearrange furniture, design a daring decorating plan, buy beautiful furniture or appliances, find a roommate or dispel one - you decide! Possibly for the first time, with generous Jupiter and the new moon, April 3, supporting your every move, you can make more progress now than you have ever seen. Be patient though, because for the first 23 days of April, Mercury will be retrograde. You will not miss your chance - in fact, by going slowly, you'll accomplish even more.
You will be thinking big, and should you need financing, say, in terms of a mortgage or home improvement plan, you will find you can get approvals. I didn't mention this in your main report, but thought of it now, and this news should be comforting. This doesn't mean that bank examiners or other financial types won't be tough on you - with Saturn challenging the Sun at the new moon April 3, they will be - but if you make sure your paperwork is perfect, you will likely see success. A major expense or overrun may come up, but don't let that news unnerve you. You can find a solution, for Jupiter, now in your home sector, will protect your interests, so press forward.
In the first few days of April, create a safe home environment, as Mars will conjunct Uranus on April 3. Don't overload electrical sockets, avoid standing on the top rung of the ladder, and keep walkways clear, especially at night. Mercury will be retrograde until April 23 so also, don't sign papers, close on a house, or buy electronics or furniture until you get beyond April 23.
Pressures at work will be prevalent as well, and trying to keep your domestic plan on track while you keep VIPs happy on the job would be a challenge to Houdini, but, dear Capricorn, if anyone can do it, you can. Capricorn excels in times like this, for you always keep cool under pressure, and that's why you make such a wise leader.
You'll likely be feeling split between home and work as the month opens, but professional demands will become much more pronounced at the full moon, April 17, plus or minus four days. As vital as it will be to keep your eye on home and family matters, you'll need to switch your attention quickly to work-related deadlines, meetings, and developments. Happily, once you get through the full moon period, you can revert back to what's going on at home, which will likely continue very productively through May.
Your outlook for romance will be very strong during the second half of the year, but for now, it will remain on a back burner to other priorities. With Venus, the ruler of your house of love now in your travel sector, your best hope of finding a way to relax and enjoy romance will be to take a short, three-day trip from time to time. Your best weekend to flee will be April 8-10.
Later, after April 20, the Sun will move into your house of true love, so that will make the coming weeks brighter for love. The month of May will give you a lovely prologue of more romantic life to come, and things will only continue to improve for love as you progress through the year.
Feather your nest now, and love will follow you there, dear Capricorn!
