Friday, April 24th - The Cancer moon is very busy today, all before the hour of 1pm EST. The morning saw a number of contacts with the transiting moon, including a Pluto opposition, Uranus square, Mars sextile, Chiron trine and Mercury sextile. Emotions could fluctuate, especially with any discussions rooted in family or home matters. Nostalgia has been running rampant over the last day or two. With the moon in Cancer that is usually the case, but it is amplified because of all the Chiron transits that have been occurring. Try not to act on any feelings from the past. If you do, it is likely you'll regret it once the moon is in Leo tomorrow. The moon moves void of course at 1:04 this afternoon, where it will stay until the morning. The evening we see a Mercury sextile Chiron transit, which will allow us to use words and communication to help others with emotional difficulties. Taurus and Pisces could find themselves on the giving or receiving end of some much needed counsel. Venus inconjunct Pluto later tonight highlights the Pluto retrograde. Are you seeking out control in your personal relationships and partnerships? What can you do to bring peace to yourself and others? These questions are important to consider, today and during the remainder of the Pluto retrograde.
Saturday, April 25th - The moon comes out of its void and moves into the sign of Leo at 9:13am EST. It's a much quieter day on the astrological front, with only two major aspects occurring throughout the day. These are Moon trine Saturn and Moon square Sun, at around 4pm and 8pm respectively. It's a good day for getting work accomplished, particularly things that have been put off for some time. Emotions might not line up with outer expectations. Leo moon and Taurus sun are both fixed modalities, and so you might encounter stubbornness over the weekend. This could come from yourself or others. If you have any personal planets in Leo, Taurus, Aquarius or Scorpio it will be magnified even more. The energy today is quite social and vivacious, however. Stay busy. If your plans don't fit your ideal vision, relax and ease yourself into it. Issues of control are in full effect and so it is likely if you are being stubborn you will only bring even more road blocks into your path. If you flow with the situation you will have a much easier time, and could end up having more fun than you would have with your "dream plan".
Sunday, April 26th - The energy is high and expansive today. The Leo moon sextiles the North Node and conjuncts Jupiter this morning. You could feel on top of the world today, particularly if you're caught in the Leo/Libra sextile with any personal planets in those signs. Those who aren't Leo or Libra heavy will still feel the positive vibrations. The day is full of surprises, many of them pleasant. Venus and Uranus join in sextile this evening at 5:30 EST. Relationships, partnerships and creative undertakings could be given new, unexpected life. Ideas in those realms could come in like fireworks, bringing explosive and colorful vision to something you didn't know was capable of being so bright. Tonight the moon sextiles Venus shortly after. It's a great day for adventuring, going on a date or working on creative projects. You could be given an opportunity today, one you didn't know was on the horizon. Channel this as best you can. The Moon/Mars square tonight could hit you with a temper tantrum if you didn't utilize the energy throughout the day.
Monday, April 27th - The Leo moon squares Mercury this morning before moving void of course at 10:13am. Emotions might be a challenge to communicate today. It's best to stay focused and try to keep things on the lighter side. There aren't many major aspects at all on this day, so outside influences won't get in the way as much. The moon is void all day until 9:08pm EST, when it moves into Virgo. Typically Virgo moons make us want to be alone and recharge our energy, but the week's vibrations are so high that you might not experience a need to 'recharge'. If you do spend the evening alone, you may be inspired to get work done. Whatever you end up doing with the day, don't take it too seriously. The energy remains playful and engaging. Keep your sense of humor and tackle challenges with ease.
Tuesday, April 28th - Mars sextile Chiron brings external opportunities for healing, personal growth and inner evolution. Anytime Chiron is activated, there is more of a focus on health, well being, and wounds from the past. Mars brings physical energy into these fields and awards us with added drive to overcome any difficulties that are still affecting us. This could potentially be painful. In the middle of a Pluto retrograde, we are already being shown things from our past that are causing us grief or worry. While Pluto brings these to light, Chiron will help us to face them and incorporate these issues into our lives, rather than running from them. The specific Chiron/Mars sextile today could help some improve their life conditions by leaps and bounds. Pisces and Taurus in particular will benefit. The rest of the day centers around daydreaming, pleasantries and light-hearted activity. All of the other transits for today are connected to the Virgo moon. While you may be given chances to overcome personal difficulties as a result of your interactions with others, most of the growth will be done alone or with a close, personal friend or family member. The energy of the Virgo moon is "The Hermit", or the one who evolves through spirituality and solitude. Consider this while facing any long-term issues that arise today.
Wednesday, April 29th - Chiron's effect continues into today as it joins Venus in square. While yesterday was more focused around healing and facing problems on your own, today there may be a draw to work together with a partner. This person is likely to act as a mirror for you, so beware of illusion. Chiron's impact is gentle, but if you are not careful you may be deceived. As you encounter others, you may find yourself annoyed by aspects of their personality. Chiron, as a mirror, is attempting to wake you up to the parts of yourself that you have not unified. For example, if you are bothered by someone's judgmental behavior today, consider that by having that viewpoint you are also making judgments about them. That is not to say it is probable we could all live in complete acceptance of everything and everyone, but Chiron would like us to try being more empathetic towards others and towards ourselves. We don't know what others have been through, and while their behavior may frustrate you, there is no reason to focus on it and let it poison your life. The Virgo moon is quite active for the rest of the day, forming a Pluto trine, Chiron opposition, Venus square and Mars trine. We will also see a Sun and Neptune sextile this evening. If you find yourself too affected by others, retreat for a bit. Being alone could do a world of difference today, particularly to Capricorn, Virgo and Gemini. The Sun and Neptune sextile will bring an idealized vision to the evening. This is a warm and beneficial effect, one that all signs will feel. If you practice awareness and empathy throughout the day you will be more inclined to notice the positivity this evening.
Thursday, April 30th - Earlier in the week there may have been a problem with effective communication. Words could have come out wrong, or not shown others exactly how you were feeling. It's almost as though we are experiencing effects of the Mercury retrograde before it begins. Today is an ideal day to talk about your feelings. Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus should especially make use of this day's energy for getting things off their chests. The moon moves void of course this morning at 8:24am EST and only stays there until 10:03am EST. Avoid this hour and a half for getting too deep into discussions with others. After the moon moves to Libra, they will be much more responsive. The Moon and Saturn sextile today will help others take your feelings seriously. It's a good day to get a lot done, and to move closer toward achieving goals. Tonight at 10:01pm EST Mercury moves into the sign of Gemini, joining Venus. Having Mercury in Gemini for next month's retrograde will actually bode well for us all. Mercury in Gemini is quick witted, intelligent and able to communicate effectively, all of which will work to counteract the retrograde symptoms. In other words, Mercury is at home in the sign it rules over. It will help us move through the retrograde effects faster. This is a reason why we've been seeing what appear to be Mercury retrograde effects already. If you have any personal planets that are getting triggered by transiting Mercury you will notice it too. Either way, the actual retrograde doesn't begin for another few weeks. Communication will be amped up with Mercury in Gemini, and you may feel more social, particularly if you are a Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Aries or Leo or have personal planets in those signs.
