Month: April 2024

Theme:  Continuing on

Most of us have experienced a great deal of stress with Uranus/Jupiter building up to this conjunction. Uranus works by bringing an electric restlessness to the surface, strong desire to change our lives on a deeper level, but often we resist that call. We are left peering into the abyss longing to both fly and run home to safety. Today there is a fleeting challenge between Moon and Mars that could lead to feelings of irritability or argumentative. If we resist the urge to speak or act rashly, the day will be very pleasant and enjoyable.

The Moon is void of course today from 8:20 pm until 11:08 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this period.

Theme:  Final Days

Jupiter and Uranus have been a major focus for several weeks now but are finally in the last days of their conjunction in Taurus, culminating on Sunday. They are currently exact by degree and on the 21st by minute.
This is generally considered to be very positive at the time of conjunction. Expect to see sudden changes and improvements in your life. It’s even known as the lottery winning transit! And with the influence of Taurus it can be about money and possessions but on another level it’s about values. What are our values? What is important to us? Jupiter brings a greater wish for freedom and vision of an ideal future.
The next 2 days will be dedicated to this important transit.

Theme: Sweet and Sour

With Venus presently in Aries relating directly with others is more helpful at this time, even though it might not always feel comfortable. With Mercury still retrograde and conjunct Chiron there is an opportunity to reflect on your communication style and find ways to heal old wounds around your communication habits. The Moon in Leo continues to invite us to play more and worry less.

The modern world as a whole, with its hectic, stimulating lifestyle, has picked up tremendous speed. But even if a train is going a million miles per hour, if you load it with the weight of all beings’ suffering, it will stop in an instant….All you have to do is get out of your head, situate yourself fully in the heart and add the suffering of others to your own.~Dzigar Kongrul

Theme: Evolving relationships

With the planet of relationships, Venus, nestled in closely with the north node, it’s time to rethink your way of connecting with others. You can ask yourself questions such as how can I relate to others more harmoniously, and what habits prevent me from moving forward in relationships? With so many planets remaining in Aries you have energy to move forward in your endeavors. Today you feel a little out of sorts, but nothing rest won’t heal.

A good idea is something that does not solve just one single problem, but rather can solve multiple problems at once.~Shigeru Miyamoto

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 7.22pm until 10:24pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Heightened Sensitivity

Due to Moon and Venus’ strong connection this is usually a very pleasant transit. It’s a time of gathering with close friends particularly with the North Node involvement. Past memories will be shared and reawaken pleasurable times spent with others. Women that are important to you will be prominent in your life over the next two days. Moon in Cancer brings heightened sensitivity. Nurturing and being nurtured by others increases a sense of wellbeing.

Theme:  Mental Wanderings

It is said that truth is stranger than fiction but these days fiction is seen as truth. With Moon square Neptune there is a wish to daydream or escape reality, however we define it.
Some may choose to stop working and change their environment, others may prefer using drugs or alcohol. No matter what definition we give to reality, everything arises from mind. Wherever we go, there our minds go to. So enjoy a couple of days of daydreaming and avoid destructive past-times.

“ I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.”     Steven Wright

The Moon is Void of Course today from 10.46am until 1.45pm EST . Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme:  Spiritual Expression

Moon in Gemini brings endless curiosity. It’s easy to connect with others due to the ability to verbalize emotions clearly. The focus is on one’s spiritual beliefs or path and potential feelings of empathy for others. Mars and Saturn can certainly bring about disciplined action in that arena, which will overcome any feelings of self doubt or separation from humanity.

“Bodhicitta in intention bears rich fruit
For those still wandering in samsara.”

Theme: Movement and challenges

With the Moon moving into Gemini today there is a quickening of movement and communications. Gemini energy lightens what is heavy and emotionally difficult. With Mercury retrograde however, communications are still challenging and require more effort than usual. Mars begins slowly but surely to pull away from Saturn, although restrictions and frustration will be felt for a little while longer. So all in all, hang in there.

We’re all leading lives that are different and yet the same.~Anne Frank

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 6.04am until 8:59am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
