Regarding the two aspects of March, the opposition with Saturn and the conjunction with Uranus, one has to notice that:

• Their effects overlap and cumulate in the former half of April 2009, which massively increases the risks of the period.
• Mars’ transit, in fact, is updating the opposition between Saturn and Uranus which we have frequently spoken about lately, bringing in the spotlight again the risk of political, administrative and economical-financial difficulties, of scandals, crises, uncertainty and instability.
• Although the most vulnerable star signs seem to be Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aries, Scorpio, Capricorn and Aquarius, anybody can feel the effects, depending on the personal horoscope.
• Venus’ retrogradation (ending on April 17th, 2009) and the Mars-Venus conjunction (see below) can negatively contribute to the overall picture of April 2009.
