摩羯座——译者：脚步

好吧这个月是有点意思，而身为基本宫，你也是处于“交火线”上的四个星座中的一员。不过战斗得要等到4月中旬才会消停了（当然了白羊座内的太阳就会与木星及冥王星共呈两次刑相，并与天王星呈合相，所有这些都发生在在月初的前3天里！）。

这也许会给你带来极大的影响力，因为冥王星就在你的摩羯宫里，因此在你的家庭生活、以及可能在你的事业上会出现些棘手的问题。也就是说在个人层面上你正经历着一场巨大的转型，并清扫掉并不“适合于”你未来远景的任何人。在这个问题之上，如果你不动手，宇宙也会为你去做的！因此你在4月里所经历的任何形式的变化都是给你生活带来“提升”的持续过程的一部分。

金星在月初的时候进入你的交流宫，而她也会给一切形式的交流沟通带来祝福力，因此在4月里你应该会听到至少一个的好消息。如果你正在学习，也许你就会拿到高一级的学历，或是发现你已经出色地通过了一门考试。如果你有自己的生意，也许你会有更好的销量——或是新的合约——而如果你有兄弟姐妹的话，也许你会与他们共度美好的时光（或者他们会告诉你非常好的消息）。

真正的战斗开始于11日前后，届时金星与海王星呈合相，而两者都在你星盘上的同一个位置，因此你也许会遇到合同作废、重要文档饱受批评或其他形式的交流问题、旅途中出现争吵、又或者是与兄弟姐妹发生“口角”。不过这只是短暂的问题，而金星一整个月里也都会对这些领域带来福佑。

14日并不怎么好，会有些混乱出现（毕竟在同一天里就包含着至少3个凶相位）。这会给你在家庭里的交流带来影响，因此你可能会与家庭成员吵架，或是某一与屋宅相关的有形资产出现问题。

也许是你将它放到了市场上而在拍卖时没有拿到你所期望的价格，或是洗衣机坏掉，或是室友说他们要搬走——或者是房东说他们要把房子卖掉。

这个月的第一次蚀相发生在15日天秤座里，这是一次月蚀。同时这也是一次满月（15日）而二者对你的事业与公众形象领域产生着影响力。所发生的任何事态会让你置身于通向更为成功的未来的路途之上，并在你的事业或家庭（或二者皆有！）之上带给你更多的力量。同时你也将在你生活中的这两个领域里掌控主动权，满月确实更多地标志着结束（因此可能你正为那更有价值的某件事——或某个人——而腾出空间）。

很有可能（由于金星一整个月里都为交流宫带来福佑的关系）你会听到晋升消息，或是（因为蚀相包含着阴阳之相）被发生的事所震惊到。

这会影响到你的生活目标与事业的宫位，并且由于蚀相会带来改变，你大可期盼会遇上些“大人物”毕竟你生活中的这个领域对你而言非常重要。那些早已不再受欢迎、或超过了“保质期”的（工作、处境、生活方式、人），可能现在就到此为止了。

你应该会决定朝向新的方向，而这也许正是缘于你所收到的一份意向书（例如新的工作）或是因为你已经决定了要采取主动掌控权力。

所有的摩羯现在都在向前进，不过你也许需要清扫下障碍，而时不时地会出现些紧迫、甚至会带来挫伤的过程。这也许并不算大事，例如说改换工作或住宅，或是放手（或卖掉）一份没有收益、带来拖累而又耗费时间的业务。

也许你放弃了工作职责而专心于你的家庭，或是决定再要一个孩子。可能你正准备与某位生命中的伴侣（屋宅与家庭领域就在发生蚀相的同一轴线上）分道扬镳，或者如果你还没有结婚的话，工作中遇到的一只母夜叉被证明是太难应付了，于是你起身离开。也就是说对方可能是家中的一位女性（地位就像女家长那样的），并给你的生活带来改变。

同样地也出现了包含着火星、木星、天王星及冥王星的大十字（因为白羊、天秤、巨蟹及摩羯四个基本宫形成十字）而作为基本宫的一员你就会尤其强烈地感受到它的影响力。

天王星在白羊座，火星在天秤座，木星在巨蟹座而冥王星在摩羯座。因此屋宅、家庭、事业及公众形象（以及你在这两个领域中的二人关系），加上你的个人雄心——以及它们与你家庭生活的兼容程度——都会成为受到冲击的领域，而它们彼此也都互相纠缠、彼此共存这，每一方面都让另一方面更为强健……或是更加艰难。

木星在20日与天王星相刑，而这就意味着在屋宅及你的家庭生活中会产生紧张气氛或是冒出意外消息……甚至是一场震动。

同样地在同一天里木星与冥王星对冲，而冥王星在你掌管自我的宫位，木星在你掌管与他人之间关系的宫位，因此二人关系在20～21日就完全有可能会接受考验。可能你觉得遭受了太多的曲解或没有得到支持，或者是你在事业与家庭之间无法分配好时间从而其中一个领域就觉得被亏待了。

22～23日同样也被凶相位弄得一团糟，因此你会听说并不喜欢的某件事，而由于水星在23日进入金牛座，你可能会担心你的孩子（如果有的话）并且可能将不会有足够的时间与他们共处。又或者会是来自外部的事态，例如发生在学校里的什么事。也许你想再要一个孩子，而在探讨这个问题时会出现些争论。这一星相问题同样也影响到真爱宫，因此一段新建立的关系可能会结束，或是一份兴趣业务会遭遇困难。

火星在23日与冥王星及天王星都相刑，因此你应该将这一天画上红圈（但这可不会是好日子）；因为你的事业与声望会受到损伤。你正瞄准的是名扬四海而非臭名昭著，因此在这天就最好埋下你的头不要显山露水——要不然做了什么的话也许迟些时候你就会后悔了。在这个月的大部分时间里都存在着你的社交地位/公众名声会会受到冲击的可能性（特别是如果你一直都举止失礼的话）。也就是说，别人的举动可能也同样会影响到你的生活地位。

在月末的时候至少会有一个好消息出现，届时日蚀/新月会发生在你掌管浪漫、娱乐、孩子、兄弟姐妹及创造力的金牛座内。

从现在开始，你的社交生活会有所减少。或者是你最终意识到你被关爱的方式与你所想要的并不一致，也没有得到亲近之人的支持，因此你决定另找一个人……或者如果目前你还是单身的话，就会去找个伴儿。

也许一段爱事会开启或结束，不过你会挑战极限，去追求开心与快乐。你想要开始做那些能让你——而不是别人——高兴的事，不过你的关注点将会放在你的爱情生活上。

由于金星正建议你做出短途旅行，你也许会在飞机上或正当你离开家（或离开你的“最爱”）之时遇到某个人。由于金星同样也在给兄弟姐妹领域带来福佑力，你也许会遇到你的兄弟或姐妹的一个朋友，而对方则会让你心跳加快。

如果你是已婚的话，你也许会尝试要一个孩子，但无论是这种情况，还是进行新恋情、创作、或搭建你自己的创意公司，你都会是一个猛子，铤而走险地投入其中。

也许你会为爱冒险，与那洒脱的陌生人一同逃离，将看似稳固的家庭抛至身后。或者你也许会离开去“做自己的事”，换个方式享受你所喜欢的那种生活。

你对自己的感觉越来越有信心，而即便时不时的你也真的会觉得脱离了自己的安乐窝，但如果要有所进展的话，这种感觉就是少不了的……

Capricorn

Well it’s quite a month, and as a cardinal sign you are one of the four in the “firing line”. But the action doesn’t really get going until mid April (although there are two squares with an Aries Sun against Jupiter and Pluto and a conjunct with Uranus all in the first three days!).

This may affect you more than most because you have Pluto in Capricorn, and so it will be in the areas of your domestic life and perhaps in your career where there will be some pesky issues. That said you are personally going through a huge transformation and wiping the slate clean of anyone who doesn’t “fit” into your future picture. Put it this way, if you don’t the Cosmos will do it for you! So whatever changes you experience in April are part and parcel of the continuing “upgrading” of your life.

Early in the month Venus enters your communications sector and she will bring blessings to all forms of communication and therefore you should be hearing at least one piece of good news during April. If you are studying you might get a HD or discover you have passed an exam with flying colors. If you have your own business you might get a lot more sales - or new contracts - and if you have any siblings, you might be spending great times with them (or they tell you some terrific news).

The real action starts around the 11th when Venus aspects Neptune and both are in the same part of your chart, so you might have a cancelled contract, criticism of an important document or some other form of communication, a hassle with a trip, or “words” with a sibling. But this is a passing moment and Venus is here all month blessing these areas.

The 14th is not a nice day and there will be some upset (as there are no less than three difficult aspects all on the one day). This will affect your communication within your home, so you could have a row with a family member or something tangible goes wrong with the home.

You might have it on the market and not get the price you want at auction or the washing machine breaks down or the flat mate announces they are moving out - or the landlord announces they are selling the flat.

The first eclipse of the month is in Libra on the 15th and it is a lunar eclipse. At the same time there is a full moon (15th) and both affect your career and public reputation sector. Whatever happens is putting you on track towards a more successful future and bringing you more power, either within your career or home (or both!). Whilst you will be taking charge of both these areas of your life, full moons do tend to signal endings (so perhaps you are making room for something - or someone - more productive).

It’s very possible (with Venus blessing the communications sector all month) that you hear great news about a promotion, or (because of the yin and yang aspects of eclipses) you might be stunned by whatever occurs.

This affects your life purpose and career sector and as eclipses bring changes, you can expect some “biggies” as this area of your life is very important to you. Anything (job, situation, lifestyle, person) that has outworn it’s welcome or is past the “use by” date, is probably now over.

You could decide to head in a new direction and this may be the result of an offer you receive (such as a new job) or that because you have decided to be proactive and take charge.

All Cappy’s are moving forward now, but you may need to clear the decks and at times, that’s going to be a tense or even traumatic process. It might be minor, like you change jobs or residences, or you let go of (or sell) an unproductive, draining and time-wasting business.

Maybe you give up work responsibilities to concentrate on your family or decide to have another child. Perhaps you are going separate ways with a life partner (home and family are on the same axis) or if you are not married a female dominatrix at work proves too much to handle and you up and leave. That said it could be another female within the family (who is like a Matriarch) and causes a change in your life setup.

There is also a grand cardinal cross that involves Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto (because the four cardinal signs, Aries, Libra, Cancer and Pluto form the cross) and as a cardinal sign you will feel this quite strongly.

Uranus is in Aries, Mars in Libra, and Jupiter in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn. So home and family and career and public image (and your relationships with the folk at both), and your own ambitions - and how they fit into your home life - will be the areas impacted and they will all intertwine and coexist, and each one will make the other stronger…or more difficult.

On the 20th Jupiter squares Uranus and that signifies some tension at home and in your family life or some surprising news …or even a shock.

Also on the same day, there is an opposition between Jupiter and Pluto and Pluto is in your house of Self and your relationships with others, so relationship tests are entirely possible around 20-21st. Perhaps you feel too stretched or not supported, or that you can’t split your time between your career and your home so that one area feels shortchanged.

The 22-23 is also littered with difficult planetary aspects, so you will hear something you don’t like and as Mercury enters Taurus on the 23rd, you’re probably worried about your child (if you have any) and perhaps about not spending enough time with them. Or it may be external, such as something that happened at school. Maybe you wish for another child and that is a discussion with some debate. This is also affecting the house of love, so a fledgling relationship could end or a hobby-business encounters some difficulties.

Mars is opposing both Pluto and Uranus on the 23rd, so you should literally circle this as a red-letter day (but not in a good way); as your career and reputation can be damaged. You are aiming for fame, not infamy, so it’s best to keep you head down on this day and not make any displays - or do something that you may regret later. There is a possibility for much of the month (especially if you have been misbehaving) that your social status/public reputation could take a hit. That said, the actions of another could impact on your position in life also.

At least there is some good news at the end of the month with the solar eclipse/new moon in Taurus in your romance, fun, children, siblings and creative sector.

From now on, your social life takes off. Or you finally realize that you are not loved the way you want to be and not supported by those close to and so you decide to find someone else…or just someone, if you are currently unattached.

A love affair may begin or end, but you will be pushing the envelope in pursuit of fun and pleasure. You want to start doing the things that make you happy - not anyone else - but your focus will be on your love life.

As Venus is suggesting short journeys, you might meet someone on a plane or whilst you are away from home base (or away from your “main squeeze”). As Venus is also blessing the sector of siblings, you might meet one of your brother or sister’s friends who quicken your pulse.

If you are already married you might try for a child, but whether it is a new love, a creation, or setting up your own creative business, you are going to take a plunge, a risk and dive right on in.

You could take a risk for love and run off with a dashing stranger and leave behind a seemingly secure family unit. Or you might leave to “do your own thing” and live and enjoy life on your own terms for a change.

You are feeling more confident about yourself, and even if at times you do feel outside of your comfort zone, you have to feel that if you are to make any progress…
