Theme :  Moved to Action

Emotions and communication are front and center today with several aspects. Pluto intensifies the Moon, bringing passion and intensity to our communications. The Moon is challenged by Saturn and Venus to take a close look at our love commitments, which may be on a personal level although with Sun and Neptune conjunct the focus may be on universal love. As we view the suffering of so many we are inspired to compassionate action. The impulse to act is strong with Mars and Uranus energized.

“ Words and thoughts concerning compassionate action that are not put into practice are like beautiful flowers that are colorful but have no fragrance.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Theme: Moving along

The Moon moves into chatty Gemini creating communication pathways. Short trips and communications with siblings are emphasized. With the planet ruling communication, Mercury in the direct-talking sign of Aries be prepared to stand your ground. The Sun’s proximity to Neptune means that boundaries are less defined and you are more in touch with non-ordinary reality. As you are more sensitive it’s also important to be mindful of what you put in your body.

Knowledge is simply a terrible ocean we must cross, and hope that wisdom lies on the other side.~Paolo Bacigalupi

Theme: Magnifying issues

The Moon in Taurus is sweeping towards the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction today magnifying the energy of these two planets. Be flexible and circumspect – if you can. It’s a bit like patting your head and rubbing your tummy at the same time! The Moon in Taurus likes stability which is not what this conjunction conjures up. Jupiter expands horizons and Uranus revolutionizes issues where change needs to occur. Elsewhere the Sun in Pisces is moving closer to Neptune focusing our attention on spiritual matters.

From praise comes joy, from joy – strength, from strength – virtue, from virtue – purity and from purity comes realization of one’s full potential.~Leon MacClaren

Theme: Balancing the elements

With the Moon and Sun, and other planets in Aries and Pisces respectively the elements of Fire and Water predominate for the next few days – but it’s not easy! The challenge is to stay true to your heart and feelings and yet, focus on initiating activity and being assertive. But beware, the result of fire and water together can generate a lot of steam! The transit of the Moon today illuminates where you feel vulnerable and yet, offers a way forward.

Theme: The Beginning of an Action Cycle

It is still predominately a Pisces day, of prayer meditation, and selfless action or fantasy, delusion and deception. But Mercury is now in Aries and will be for over two months (because of the Mercury retrograde cycle in the first 3 weeks of April). We think and communicate with more speed and expedience now. “Just do it!” The new Moon happens early today, which enhances the benefits of starting anew.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world. ~Mahatma Gandhi

Theme: Prayer, Meditation and Selfless Action

Now the Moon has joined Mercury, Neptune, the Sun and Saturn in Pisces, the sign of transcending the self. We will experience some loneliness and restriction especially in the middle of the day as the Moon and Saturn are tightly united. But they are sextile to Jupiter which mitigates this. It continues to be a time of highly concentrated energy as all 10 major celestial bodies are within 108 degrees out of the 360 degrees possible.

Open your eyes and look around. All sentient beings are suffering. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Artistic or Delusional?

With Mercury exactly conjunct Neptune early in the day, we have enhanced creativity, and compassion. Or we can be caught in fantasy, seeing only what we want to see. Be careful in communication for a few more days. Sometimes it is best too say nothing. There are 4 major celestial energies in Pisces, 4 in Aquarius, and 2 in Taurus. So the themes are compassion, spirituality, humanitarianism, originality, practicality and beauty.

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. ~Albert Einstein

The Moon is void of course today from 1:57 pm until 8:05 pm EST. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Connecting to your inner path

The Moon’s transit activates Mars and Venus which means that on the one hand your emotional triggers are heightened, but on the other hand means you have more tools to navigate challenges, with good results. Your dreams maybe more significant at this time, bringing messages in them. Big changes are on the cards as Jupiter moves closer to Uranus. When change comes be flexible and responsive, but don’t exaggerate the scope.

Theme: Change is unavoidable!

The Moon moves into Aquarius today prompting a change in your daily routine and inviting new community connections. Mercury conjunct Neptune in Pisces makes communications very fluffy. Even if you’re absolutely sure what you said it will be heard differently. It’s important to be very careful and moderate in your speech at this time. Pluto conjuncts the Moon today bringing an emotional intensity to the day. ‘Time out’ is welcome respite.

Whoever sees the nature of one thing is said to see the nature of everything.~Aryadeva

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 2.35pm until 7:38pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
