The New Moon and Solar Eclipse on April 8 will be spectacular when the four "planets" -- the sun, the moon, Mercury, and Venus will be in the cardinal sign of Aires (fire sign) forming a stellium.  These powerful lunations can help drive us closer to our destinies, if we're willing to put in the work.  The Celtic Tree Month of Willow on April 15 is a time for getting in touch with our intuitive processes and artistic abilities.  We can all make positive change on Earth Day for this amazing planet we call home on April 22.  Passover begins on the same day at sundown, when we can all strive to make a better world (Tikkun olam).  The Full Wind Moon in Scorpio (water sign) on April 23 will amplify our natural intensity and propensity for introspection, opening a powerful portal for manifestation of our deepest aspirations and desires.  Passover will end after nightfall on April 30.
