Apr 11 – 30 ~ Mars, Mercury, Saturn Conjunction (in Pisces) ~ Tough talking tactics

Mercury, Mars, and Saturn come together in the sign of Pisces from April 11th to 30th to create a complex picture for your communication.

Your intuition is strong at this time, and you arrive at answers by unconventional means. Listen to wise advice, but don’t be put off by undue scepticism from people on the outside, especially when you are convinced that you are on to a good theory. Mercury associated with sober Saturn in Pisces gives you extra mental stamina and professionalism, and it pays to take your time. An apparent obstacle may send you back to the drawing board in a writing or media project, or you have to raise your academic standards radically.

There is a clash between Mercury’s magical thinking and Saturn’s need for a practical outcome, and you also have to spell your message out clearly in a relationship. This can be a frustrating period, especially with the presence of Mars, an enemy of Mercury and Saturn, giving you an impulse that speaks up with fire and competitiveness. You have to conform to tradition and may be subject to tough commentary and criticism from someone in authority. Be careful of biting back too hard in a debate, and try to use some diplomacy.

April 18th to 20th is a particularly tense time when you demand your own way and are torn between the need for action and being compelled to wait. It seems a business or media opportunity is there to be seized, but your intuition urges caution, and you need to investigate further. You may end up being glad you did not commit too soon.
