An early Easter, coming close on the heels of the vernal equinox, plus the Aries/Libra full moon adds up to quite a festive weekend. Although you may feel obliged to host a celebration, remind yourself that the pressure could be self-inflicted. Because your Mars ruler is in Cancer, the sign of a dream kitchen, you’re likely to be more house-proud and food-friendly than usual. But even if you decide to renege on or cancel the event, no one will be pissed. This week the vibes are so benign, so forgiving, so befitting a joyful holiday.
(April 20-May 20)
There have been times during your Venus ruler’s annual transit through picturesque Pisces, when you’re so willing to go with the flow that you forget where you were headed in the first place. The thrill of an unlikely romance, the tricks you’ve mastered for surviving the inevitable storm -- you know the routine. But that’s not what happens in 2008. This year you’ve got a friend or two or three who’ll help you steer clear of the emotional upheaval. Mercury provides memory and reason, Jupiter good luck and happy times and Uranus, the delight of discovery. 
It might not seem like a big deal, but your Mercury ruler’s merger with affable Venus this weekend places you in an enviable position. Not only would you get good reviews for your contribution to the community (organizing an Easter egg hunt?), but the work you’ve recently done can also elicit plaudits and praise. An opportunity you didn’t expect might come your way courtesy of people who are wealthier and better connected than you. Or you could come up with an innovative idea that’ll redefine your job description. 
Crabs are riding on such an even keel right now, that unless your birthday falls near the Gemini cusp, it won’t help to know that the Aries sun could unleash the demon dwelling deep in the recesses of your partner’s soul. Secretive Pluto in your Capricorn complement may have a sizeable debt to settle, but that’s not about to happen for a while. Concentrate instead on the Libra full moon and whatever peaceful overtures it presents this weekend. Mid-July Cancerians might receive an unexpected gift from a wise old soul, not the Easter Bunny.
A certain amount of discomfort may be involved; nevertheless, it could be worth your while to pursue a financial matter you didn’t originate. Should you need to fudge the truth a bit, this would be the week to do it. While Mercury and Venus in Pisces pool their talents, you’ll be perceived as being knowledgeable, charming and believable. Plus, what you discover from this ruse could turn out to be a welcome surprise. However, be prepared to deal with a loved one who is determined to call the shots for you both. 
Who is the more lovable creature this weekend? You or your mate? And whom should we take seriously? Unless you’re donning bunny ears and hopping around the house, the Virgin wins hands down. But if your spouse is a Fish, then the competition for “sweetest and/or silliest” might be a draw.
Blame or thank your Mercury ruler for hooking up with adorable Venus in Pisces and trading on some of the goddess’ charms. This is also the week when you can impress your audience with imaginative visuals and prize-worthy verse. 
The full moon in your sign might not reveal as much as you thought it would; not to worry, you won’t be left totally in the dark. That’s because curious Mercury is as close to your Venus ruler as the little guy can get. You’re bound to learn something from their conjunction, but will it be the whole truth and nothing but? Since both planets are cavorting through Pisces’ vivid world of make-believe, there’s no guarantee that what you discover will reflect “reality” as you know it. Could it concern the family’s good fortune? 
A hassle over Easter eggs or your nest egg? It’ll take some time before anything significant develops, but having your Pluto co-ruler in your house of values is a positive placement. Because Pluto advances so slowly, you need to be patient; it’ll take time to reap those benefits. Until then, remember to keep your precious goods in good repair. This week, look for a surprise in your Pisces house of creativity and recreation, a keepsake from the joyful wedding of speech-making Mercury and sensual Venus. 
Close your eyes and wait for the word, “Surprise!” There are a bunch of delights headed your way as artistic Venus adds her list of benefits to those of your Jupiter ruler. Plus some intellectual rewards next Thursday when Mercury makes contact. But the best of the lot is the first of three opportunities you’ll get this year from the supportive sextile between Jupiter in your Capricorn house of assets and innovative Uranus in your Pisces home base. It could range from the small, e.g. an original drawing, to the significant, e.g., an unusual real estate deal. 
Read for Sagittarius. This is another week in which your signs have more in common than not. That’s because three planets are focused on expansive Jupiter in your sign. And while real estate might not be involved, you can benefit by simply relating to your neighbors and the neighborhood, the area of your solar chart that Pisces governs. That’s also the area where you connect with an online community, so if you need to share something with those folks, this would be the ideal week to get going. Expect startling results in May and November. 
“And the walls came tumbling down.” That’s the function of your Uranus ruler, the force that destroys what has outlived its usefulness so that something better, more relevant can replace it. The last major aspect Uranus was involved in was its conjunction with the Pisces sun the weekend we turned the clocks ahead. How did you fare? The next significant tie is a favorable sextile with lucky Jupiter on the 28th, preceded by happy, but fleeting meetings with Mercury (for brilliant ideas) and Venus (for brilliant lovemaking). 
In the old days, before synthetic opiates, photography and the “rebel yell,” Jupiter, not Neptune (discovered in 1846) was the planet governing your sign. Since nothing much is going on with the watery deity this week, cast your lot with the jolly giant instead. Jupiter in Capricorn represents the colleagues, perhaps even an entire organization, that’ll respond to and reward the power of personality emanating from you. Thanks to magnetic Venus and know-it-all Mercury conjoined in Pisces, you’re more appealing (cosmically speaking) than you’ve been in a while.
