This is a two part post. First part deals with the first six houses of the horoscope. The remaining houses and the effect of the Aries stellium on them will be published tomorrow.
The April Aries Stellium
As reported in my previous post, April will see the configuration of a stellium of planets in Aries.

Mars, Sun, Jupiter, Uranus, Moon and Mercury in Aries
A stellium is a group (3 or more) planets in one sign. At the beginning of April, there will SIX planets in Aries (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus.)
The ones most affected by this stack up of planets will be those who have planets in Aries, followed by those who have planets in the other cardinal signs (Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn).
The lack of planets in cardinal signs in your chart, does not mean that you will NOT be affected. On the contrary, look at which house does Aries occupies in your chart. This will be the house that will be energized by the stellium. You can do the same with the other cardinal signs and check to see where they fall in your chart.
Look at the house(s) where the stellium will be transiting in you chart and check out the definitions bellow to understand which areas of your life are going to see some action.
The First Six Houses

Aries energy will be highlighted in April 2011
1st House: The House of Self and Potential
Health, vitality, appearance, identity are all matters pertaining to this house. Expect to be more physically active. How you are perceived or even how you see yourself can also be part of the mix.
2nd House: The house of Values and Money
Make money with new projects and/or asserting in an Aries way your value (monetary or otherwise) to others is the underlying theme here. You will fight for it if necessary.
3rd House: The House of communications
If the stellium falls in your 3rd house, you can find yourself in a communication frenzy with relatives, siblings or neighbors. Watch out for overload so as to avoid possible misunderstanding with so many exchanges happening.
4th House: The House of home, parents, and family of origin
If you are thinking about organizing a family reunion, choose this April. With the Aries stellium falling in your 4th house, family activities will take center stage with lots of physical activities to anchor all that Mars energy.
5th House: The House of creativity, fun, children, romance and pleasure
Party time! Enough said!
6th House: The House of work, health, habits, and service
Watch out for signs of exhaustion. With so many planets in Aries, you will be tempted to accomplish all the tasks on you to-do list whether at work or at home, leading to possible accidents due to fatigue. Don’t overdo! (an easy thing for Aries). This transit will be perfect to get you out of your routine blah as the stellium energy should revitalize the way you conduct your daily life. This could also include health habits and regimen.
I am expecting a lot of activity in my life from this Aries stellium. I have Sun and Venus in Aries straddling the first and second house. One possible interpretation might be that new projects will bring in income while changing the perception of how others see me.
What house is Aries in your chart? What are your own thoughts about what’s in store?

I remember last year’s Pisces energy concentrated in my 12th and I spent a lot of time dancing and writing poetry. My blog was launched during that time period too, although the idea had been incubating for about two years.
This is going to be an interesting period for me with all those planets (except Uranus) transiting my first house….does that mean recognition of some sort? Just wondering
Hi Katley.
As indicated in my post, an increase of vitality but also how you show yourself to others, how your see yourself. It might also include some physical transformation, such as getting a tattoo. It depends if and what planets you have in Aries and in your first house. Keep notes and let me know how this stellium transits pays out in your life.
HI…I have 4 planets in Aries in my first house and it looks like this upcoming stellium will be joining them. I wish I had studied astrology….any further info on what to look forward to ? Thank you !
Hello…
Yes with 4 planets in Aries, you should expect some activity in that sector in April. The general meaning of the first house is physical activity, personal appearance and how you see yourself. As to what to look forward to it all depends what planets you have in your natal chart in Aries. You need to combine the meaning of the first house with your natal planets in Aries and the stellium of planets that will be transiting Aries in April. For example, with Mars there you could get more active and tackle projects that require a physical activity, like remodeling. With Mercury, you would get more direct in your speech, toot your horn for your benefit. If you poke around, I have some other articles relating to the possible effects of this stellium and also some upcoming articles on the same subject. Just stay tuned!
will do! I keep a private journal that I post in once or twice a week, often in there I write about transits and how they are affecting me. I also write about what’s happening in the world and how it relates to the the current planetary transits.
