April 2021 Horoscopes: Monster Moon Mania

, everybody! Welcome to April: 2021

Alex: Hi everyone. Hi Laura!

Laura: Oh, hi Alex!

Alex: How are you doing?

Laura: I think I'm okay but then I read our horoscopes and now I have some concerns for something, but you know, I think we'll get through. We’ll talk about why we're scared, but also I feel like we've lived through so much already that maybe I shouldn't be so scared, but I don't know, I got nervous.

Alex: The fact that we have lived through so much and we're scared though maybe says something.

Laura: Maybe it says something. Yeah, yeah. Well let's get into, as usual, when Susan Miller released the horoscopes for April. Again, another surprise. Another surprise, she released them on April 1. Wow. And I think, you know, last month in March we were so shocked because she released them a day early and that was really out of character and now it was just on time. So you and I agree that that while we don't like it and we're perturbed by her promptness—

Alex: Extremely

Laura: Extremely—we are just going to now keep track of like this streak and see how long it goes and also if we ever get an answer about why it's after 25 years she's suddenly become prompt with her horoscopes. It's a mystery.

Alex: Right, so it's like a challenge. Susan, can you keep this up? But also why?

Laura: Also why? Yeah we don't know why is it happening.

Alex: Why are you doing this to us?

Laura: Yeah why you're doing this, what’s changed about your process, what's going on.

But she released them on time. It was April 1. I had just gotten my second dose of the vaccine and I was really out of it so it took me a few days to read. But now we have and I think we should start off with the note from Susan Miller.

Alex: Yes, so she starts off the note by saying: April will be a good, cheerful, and productive month until we get to the monster full moon in Scorpio on April 26. I know. And then she wrote: I know I am writing this on April 1, April Fool's Day, and I wish I were pranking you. This full moon will be no joke.

Laura: Oh no, but see I got scared.

Alex: It’s incredibly ominous but also I was wondering if she like crafted this and she was like, Oh, this is good, I gotta post on April 1 so that I can put this little gem in, and that was part of her motivation.

Laura: It might be, it might be I mean, I mean, it is a good joke, you know, a good line, but because also for a second I did think like, is this an April Fool's joke when they posted. No, it was all there so I don’t know. So right, so she warned us about a monster moon and Alex, what is a monster moon?

Alex: I was very intrigued by this idea of the monster moon, because, you know, great alliteration and you know it sounds exciting and creepy. I tried to look into what a monster moon is and by that I mean I googled, and I have no answers.

Laura: Okay, so it's not, it's not like when there's like a harvest moon or strawberry now. Okay, so it might just be her term for like a large and impactful moon full moon event.

Alex: I think it might be that, as well, but she doesn't explain it.

,: 2020

Alex: She did. That was a big part of note. She did all of the ways that you can communicate with her, so please let her know what happens to you.

paragraphs, but she gave them: 1800

Alex: Yes, and she provided a link so that you can buy it.

Laura: So I'm wondering if she's got any sort of financial arrangement because she kind of did more for the book than she did for the fizzy water. As the month went on, I had a lot more feelings about the fizzy water and now influencing works and how effective marketing works and I gotta say I wasn’t really sure that Susan had done it. But um, you know, hey, it was her first influencing deal that we know about. Like it is in the modern influencing kind of way. She’s done a lot of different like collaborations and sponsorship things.

Alex: And maybe her end game was just some free CBD fizzy water and she got it.

Laura: Yeah, definitely. I mean, though. Bless.

Alex: Yeah. Right, exactly.

Laura: But yeah so we're still unclear on why horoscopes early. Is it a result of the fizzy water? I don't know, I don't know, and will we ever find out? Alright, so that was the note from Susan Miller. Should we get into the horoscopes?

Alex: Let's get into the horoscopes so Aries, Happy birthday to Aries.

Laura: Happy Birthday Aries. Well before we get into it, can we say happy birthday to a few Aries that we know personally, okay because you know they're going to listen. So happy birthday to Liz Wexler! Happy Birthday Liz. And happy birthday to a very powerful Aries woman, Erin Clark, good friend of mine, and Erin has written a memoir, it is called “If You Really Love Me Throw Me off the Mountain.” If you like travel adventure, romance, intimacy, paragliding, Spain, you will definitely enjoy this book, and for her birthday I think that you should buy it and leave her a review. I'll put a link in our show notes but you can find it if you just look for “If You Really Love Me Throw Me off the Mountain,” which is just the most Aries title ever.

Alex: Oh, big time Aries energy.

Laura: And the publisher of Erin’s book designed the cover because Erin has like Aries in Mars, so that's what the cover of the book has red on it.

Alex: Well done.

Laura: Very cool.

Alex: Well, it sounds like there's something for everyone.

Laura: Definitely. Okay, so in general for Aries horoscopes, what do we have?

Alex: Well, she started the forecast by saying that the big emphasis that Aries had on career in the past few years is kind of winding down. And the last full moon in March was really great. There was a golden triangle. You know I just like to repeat these things that Susan says, I don't really know what they are. And that accented your partnerships and your commitments. So, you know, getting into the romance early. Maybe you met someone, maybe you already have someone until you're getting married, something like that. She does say on April 6, some things are going to happen with planets, and you're going to have the opportunity for love, allure, charm and beauty. So she recommends going on a first date, seeing your stylist, or going shopping. Laura: Wow, okay.

Alex: She says this is a day for fun pickup flowers to place on your coffee table on the way home.

Laura: Lovely.

Alex: What Aries doesn't want to do that, you know? She says, on April 11, Mars is going to be in your short trip travel house, so you may find that you're needing to take a trip without a lot of notice, and it may be there’s another planet that has to do with like close relatives and so it likely might be like you need to visit a sibling out of nowhere or cousin or something like that. This was a trend in a lot of the horoscopes, which we will talk about, April 15 and 16 appear to be wonderful days for everyone, no exception for the Aries. And then she did say April 16 and 17 are great days to sign papers, give a speech, or hand in a manuscript because Jupiter and Mars are going to meet and that doesn't happen very often.

Laura: Oh, okay.

Alex: I mean, here's the thing, it was very, it was very good and again this is going to be a trend throughout this whole show, which is like things are really great until this monster moon comes, and then with the monster moon comes unexpected things that are not good. And there are things that you never could guess. I think for Aries in particular the monster moon is not going to be so good in terms of financial aspects. So that's really not great. Yeah, it just kind of goes downhill from there. I don't want to be too much of a bummer.

Laura: Yeah, no I everyone everyone's monster moon had a lot of doom forewarning.

Alex: A lot of doom, so much so that she even wrote in Aries one that May will be better.

Laura: Oh, yeah, she said that I think for Taurus and other people as well. So, I guess all we can tell people is that, be careful. Well, in our practical advice wrap up at the end we'll, we'll give you some more of this but just keep your schedule light and be careful around the monster moon.

Alex: Yeah. Exactly. Keep your schedule light. Be productive in the first part of the month, get your things done, but also get your rest because you're going to need it to deal with the monster moon.

Laura: Okay. Well, you know, happy birthday Aries. It sounds like the first part it's great then we're going to hit a bump. May will be better.

Alex: May will be better. Hang in there.

bout your horoscope for April: 2021

Alex: Survival mode.

Laura: Yeah, survival mode. I just kind of powered down. I got scared and anxious and I disassociated. But what she says about the monster moon is that the full moon will the full moon is in Scorpio and Alex you're a Scorpio.

Alex: I know and I'm kind of like does this really crappy full moon really need to be in Scorpio to just add to the Scorpio hate already in the world, and of course it does because just pile on to the Scorpios but

Laura: I literally said out loud when I was reading about this full moon I said I reject it. I can’t handle what it wants to bring. She said it will be emotional and troublesome bringing news and events you never would have expected, and she was talking about the week of April 26 and like keeping your schedule light because you might have things unexpected and you have to change plans. It could be something that will draw attention to your partner, a person close to you, so just your spouse or business partner or a collaborator. You might have to drop whatever you are doing near April 26 and attend to the matter that bursts forth like a geyser out of the ground. And I was like I reject this because I'm almost fully vaccinated and my family's getting their last vaccines, we’re going to be fully vaccinated by the end of April, and I'm finally going to be able to go home and see my family after not seeing them for over a year, and I was like I can't I won't be changing, I won't be dropping everything, I will just be going to see my family. So she did say that like, there would be like friends to support so like, there'll be help at this new moon for Taurus so that and it will light your house of communication, travel, and close kin, so you might need to be in contact with a sibling or a cousin who will have an idea that will help, and you might be confronted with news that needs a quick solution. So that made me feel better that it was just gonna be like surprise information that I’ll have to deal with and not like a complete derailing. And I was like, well if anything happens in New York while I'm gone I have friends and they have like keys to my apartment or something, you know. So then I felt a little bit better but in general I was like I don’t accept anything that might derail me seeing my family.

Alex: You shouldn’t accept it.

Laura: I won’t.

Alex: You'll deal with the geyser if needed.

Laura: Yeah, exactly. I also I got scared because you know I've had I've had things happen where she that like I was like, is the geyser literal or metaphorical? That also scares me.

Alex: Yeah, it does. And we know that Susan tends to zero in on when people are going to have water damage.

Laura: exactly so then I then that made me nervous, but anyway May is going to be better and May is Taurus month and my birthday, so in our next podcast, I'm sure I'll have better news. But if my fellow Tauruses want to join me in rejecting whatever drama the full moon brings on.

Alex: Yeah, fellow Tauruses, be inspired by Laura. She’s not going to let that geyser get in her way!

Laura: No, I’m not. I'll just make a raincoat.

Alex: Exactly. Just be prepared for the geyser.

Laura: That's right. So, that's what we have for Taurus.

ll Gemini, this is your April: 2021

Laura: Oh, what are you making Gemini?

Alex: I don't know, but I just thought that was very interesting. And you're, you're racing to finish up something in the lab and so you might be exhausted. So start that project in the lab early, so that when the monster moon hits you know it won't be completely terrible.

Laura: No, that sounds good, good advice. Thank you.

Alex: So, yeah, Gemini, it's about the same for you. Great things and then not so great things.

horoscope highlight for April: 2021

Alex: Yeah, find somewhere to store all those buckets because they are not going to stop coming.

Laura: Maybe the geezer like Taurus, it said the Tauruses were going to have geezers, like, the new moon, the full moon will have like a geezer out of the ground and maybe Cancers are just gonna have like geezers full of money. Is it called “geezer” or “geyser”? What did I just say?

Alex: Geyser.

Laura: They’re going to have old geezers!!!

Alex: Old geezers! That’s Granny! Doing her part.

Laura: You’re welcome to geezers, geysers. Whichever one works.

Alex: You’re just adding your own flair.

Laura: Geezers or geysers. We don’t know.

Alex: The second dose of the vaccine causes you to say some words strangely.

Laura: It’s the only side effect. It’s fine. Anyway, Cancer, buckets of money are coming for you.

Okay, Leo. This is your April: 2021

Laura: That's good advice.

Alex: She said that this month the media is an active part of your chart, so you may be doing something relating to broadcasting or publishing, or digital media, and then she also said, you may also be the subject of a media story with publicity that can get you ahead. Which I sometimes wonder when Susan says things like that like, I know she has millions quote millions of readers, but like, who does she really think the audience is? How many people are getting media stories?

Laura: Very famous people like you and me. It’s only celebrities and super successful people that read this podcast, so it could be.

Alex: That's true. In practical advice for the Leo she said it's a good time to work on getting a new passport, visa, or green card, and generally a good time for you to deal with legal matters because they'll come out in your favor. And then the monster moon, yet again, get ready for surprising news. For Leos, it's probably going to manifest as something that has to do with your home. So either you need to move kind of suddenly or something breaks or isn’t fixed properly. Something like that.

so Virgo, this is your April: 2021

Alex: I think that's perfect interpretation.

horoscope highlight for April: 2021

Alex: Yeah, that's right.

Laura: Yeah, so again more business special goals, but also like business but maybe love partnership something about partnership and something adventurous.

r Scorpio. This is your April: 2021

Laura: Justice for Scorpio. It can’t be all their fault. Oh my gosh.

Alex: Well, you know, I say this every time but she says, your work is about to get very busy. I currently have no job. So, you know, this is for other Scorpios, this is not for me, but that's okay. Laura: Your work life could only get busier, Alex. There’s nowhere to go but up.

Alex: I’m not looking at this in the right way. Yeah. She says it's possible you'll be working on a cutting edge project that you're working on a facet of it where other people in the industry don't have the same level of experiences you do, so you’ll really stand out. Now, it of course wouldn't be Astrology Zone without a very long list of the things that you might be working on, so just bear with me while I tell you the possibilities: artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, an app or website development, a podcast, or maybe opening a business to become your own boss.

Laura: Oh, that's good that's a lot of possibilities

Alex: It’s lot of possibilities and then she says it's good too if your business really expands, it's a good time to hire people, you'll find lots of good people. She said that the new moon will also motivate you Scorpios to get more exercise. I don't know how I feel about that, but then she did say that we've probably gained some quote pandemic pounds.

Laura: Wait, hold on. Is she bringing like fat shaming into like the Scorpio horoscope? And we already have this like monster moon that she's blaming Scorpio for.

Alex: I really didn't like that I didn’t want to read that I gained pandemic pounds, even if it's in fact true I really don't need Susan to tell me. Yeah, but I guess she's trying to I mean I guess it's working because I feel shamed into exercising, which will make her forecast come true.

Laura: Oh gosh, okay it's a real, real paradox there.

dle it. She's talked a lot in: 2021

Laura: I was just going to ask. Is this a normal thing?

Alex: No no no, she says this is a good time and then she said if it's the reverse and you need to give your parents money, you'll have plenty of opportunities to do that. And you'll be able to help them.

Laura: Okay, that's very kind.

Alex: And then you know things take a turn, because that monster moon comes up again, and she said that if your birthday is within five days of October 30 you're like really gonna feel it and that's me actually. Okay, so I'm a little worried about it and it's just the same thing she says for everyone. Something is going to come out of the blue, it's going to surprise you. It's not going to be a positive thing, and you're never going to guess what it is.

Laura: Gosh. Wow. Scorpio, you know, I really want to stand in solidarity with you and say, like feel, please exercise if you want to but I mean no shame if anybody has gained a little weight during the pandemic perishing yeah no shame and also the full moon is not your fault, it's just happening, it's just happening.

Alex: Thank you for saying that. I really appreciate it. I know this is, it's, it's tough every day as a Scorpio and then this was really devastating. What else? There you know so more obstacles with this full moon. Again, I have to read another list because Scorpios, you're not going to see eye to eye with possibly your agent, manager, publicist, business partner, lawyer, or other expert that you hire.

Laura: That’s a lot of people to disagree with.

Alex: Yeah. But then I guess she feels like she really laid it on pretty thick because she says: before you throw your hands in the air and say, “Oh no,” there's one saving grace to this full moon, Mars, One of your two rulers will be friendly and do what he can to help.

Laura: Okay, well that's nice. There is some help on the way.

Alex: There are some help on the way and she also says like for many other people April 15 and April 16 are great. She says: you're going to have the luck of a leprechaun and the good fortune of Midas—practically everything you touch will turn to gold. I think I think I'd like to end on that positive note.

gittarius. This is your April: 2021

Alex: Right or Spotify is able to read your mind.

Laura: I think so, yeah, it was like a maybe they're gonna be driving that one day’s distance listening to that song. But anyway, I just needed to tell the Sagittarius is that that addition to Susan's wise words about getting help from a friend, I think you need to listen to “Back to December.”

Capricorn. This is your April: 2021

Laura: I feel like you just keep telling people about this like funerary full moon.

Alex: Well she’s basically like, it’s very depressing to keep reading her advice that you need to accomplish everything you need to at the beginning of April because you're going to have no chance at the end of April.

Laura: Okay, so what is it?

Alex: Well she says do not schedule a major event because Uranus is the planet of unanticipated events, and it's going to join with the sun and oppose the moon and things will feel very tense and you won't be able to do anything.

Laura: I just want to give every single zodiac sign a big hug around the monster moon because I just feel nervous for all of us. Sorry, everybody.

Alex: I do, too. I mean, to look on the bright side, it does come at the end of the month, it's not going to last too long.

Laura: Yeah. May will be better.

Alex: Mary will be better. Sorry Capricorn.

re it is Aquarius. Your April: 2021

Laura: That’s nice.

Alex: That’s very nice. Aquarius was pretty good, honestly. She didn't have like too many awful things to say. You know, April 26, don't do anything crazy. Don't do anything. She actually says she calls the monster moon an emotional which. So, just don't like don't do anything. Don't make any agreements. Don't have any important presentations or interviews or meetings or anything like that. Make all your decisions mid-month. Again April 15 and 16 is really good. She says that you're going to have a great time on those days, you'll have favor with VIPs and you can do no wrong. It's great. It's just again do it all before the 26 when Scorpio comes to ruin your life.

horoscope highlight for April: 2021

Alex: You know what, we'll never know.

Laura: But you did say that Aries epitomizes the beginning of life and all entrepreneurial ideas and efforts. So this new moon will light your earned income sector so actions you take just after the new moon appear to suggest that you can get more income or make a good profit either immediately, or also later so

Alex: Ok so she’s hedging your bets on that one. That’s ok.

Laura: But some, some reasons for cheer and entrepreneurial something for Pisces. And yeah so that's, that's it. So, let's do our little recap. So practical advice that we've learned from Susan is, as we had to tell everybody their horoscope, this monster moon is gonna be a big deal. Keep your schedule light, be ready to pivot or change something at the last minute or something unexpected. If you want to join me, Laura, in disassociating because you’re panicked, go ahead. Reject the drama, trust that some friends can help you through it. And then she had a lot of warnings about COVID safety and not traveling which, I feel bad, but I'm vaccinated.

Alex: Yeah, you need to see your family. Yeah, she seemed very worried about the COVID variants. She suggested outdoor dining, and she told one sign in particular to outdoor dining and make it festive.

Laura: Okay, very festive. Outdoor dining is so European. Get with it.

Alex: So European. You could just get hit by a car at any moment.

Laura: It's fine, we're just joking because in New York like all the outdoor dining is like literally in the street so like the traffic is there with your alfresco entree, but you know like it's part of the charm. Like Susan Miller, it’s part of the charm.

Alex: We've all become experts on like different types of weird wooden shelters.

Laura: Great. Okay, so we remember you can tell us or tell Susan what happens to you during this monster full moon because you can always email us at astrologyzoned@gmail.com

and other things to plug or if you want to help me fund my trip home to see my family you can buy my romance novels at lauralovelybooks.com, and May will be better.

Alex: May will be better. That should be all of our mantras.

Laura: We are so happy for the first half of this month and then you know just gotta ride it out until May will be better.

Alex: May will be better. I don't want to bring us down but I should remind everyone May is better, but then unfortunately, at the end of May merc retro happens.

Laura: So, just put that into your planner, everybody, for contracts and things. I'm sure we'll cover that in the May forecast and also the June forecasts and every forecast really.

Alex: I mean, we know.

Laura: But that's your April outlook. Thank you for listening. You can follow this podcast—they used to call it “subscribe” but now you “follow” on podcasts, they changed the buttons, yeah that’s a podcast technical thing for you. So follow the podcast, leave a review, you can email us at astrologyzoned@gmail.com, and we will see you back here for May.

Alex: Have a good month. Thank you for listening.

Laura: Goodbye!

Alex: Bye!
