Friday, April 22nd - We kick the day off with a full moon (Sun in Taurus / Moon in Scorpio) at 1:24am EST. This full moon lands on the fixed point axis, and so behavior will be particularly stubborn in many individuals today and the days leading up to it. You may notice that you are being forced to shift in a direction that feels uncomfortable. A lot of this discomfort lies in fear of the unknown, and once this is broken through the effect is very freeing.
Uranus is inconjunct the North Node today. Patience is a key virtue for the weekend ahead. Particularly under the Taurean Sun, things cannot be rushed. Inspiration comes when it comes, and there is a sensible order to the way things occur.
Venus is also inconjunct the North Node today, as Venus and Uranus shift into exact conjunction at 4:59pm EST. Relationships are one area where we can be totally surprised. Expect partnerships to shift drastically. Allegiance may move from one group to another.
The moon trines Neptune and sextiles Jupiter tonight. Some may feel particularly tired or drained from the full moon effects. Sleep is likely to be dream-filled and adventurous. If you get a second wind, activities that allow you a chance to use your creative mind will yield the best results tonight.
Saturday, April 23rd - The Scorpio moon sextiles Pluto this morning, allowing a chance to enhance our leadership skills. This can show up in work situations, or even at home as we take charge of projects and set goals for our individual lives. This transit is about working towards something and focusing on it with that intense Plutonian eye.
This afternoon, the moon opposes Mercury. Technological and electronic mishaps are increasing in speed as we move toward Mercury retrograde this Thursday. It's a good time to back up important documents and files to ensure that nothing goes awry in the coming weeks.
We have a moon/North Node sextile this afternoon that brings in a pleasant series of events, particularly for Scorpio and Virgo. Even a quiet evening at home could be healing. The moon trines Chiron, which allows us to reset our energy quite easily through rest and meditation.
The mood is void of course from 5:46pm EST until tomorrow morning.
Sunday, April 24th - The moon exits its void at 8:46am EST and enters the sign of Sagittarius. This is the only major transit for the day! On a quiet astrological day like this, it's a good opportunity for us to check in on our own personal transits. See how your natal planets are being triggered and think over how this is impacting you today. The Sagittarian moon provides curiosity for whatever subjects we approach today, and may bring about an adventurous spirit. This moon is truly a wanderlust moon, and brings us new inspiration as we move through the next day or two.
Monday, April 25th - This morning, the Sagittarian moon moves into conjunction with Mars, and squares Neptune and Jupiter. Old goals that have fallen by the wayside will have to be dealt with today. Mars retrograde asserts itself by making us want to pull away from what needs to be faced. Daydreaming or escapism is likely, but Mars will force us to take some kind of action, even if it's just setting a plan in place.
This afternoon, the moon shifts into conjunction with Saturn, which aids with focus and the ability to get things done. Saturn provides a serious, unbiased perspective and allows us to look at our lives and emotions objectively without being overwhelmed.
Tuesday, April 26th - This morning, the moon squares the North Node, trines Uranus, squares Chiron and trines Venus, all before 11am EST. Romanticism is far reaching today. It is easy to get swept away by beautiful things and wild daydreams. Uranus can shake things up and change the daily schedule in unexpected ways today.
The moon is void of course from 11:51am EST until 7:54am EST, when it enters Capricorn. The afternoon is a bit slower paced and it is recommended you not make any major decisions during that eight hour window. Capricorn's influence will bring needed stability and clarity to choices tonight.
Wednesday, April 27th - A moon trine Sun aspect this morning brings in sunny cheer, particularly for Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo. Even if things are stressful, there is some hope and optimism that buoys in, even in the smallest ways.
The day is fairly even paced and nothing is too rushed or dragged out. Tonight, the moon trines Jupiter and sextiles Neptune. These transits enhance imagination and allow us to think outside the box and connect to the creative unconscious. Take advantage of these creative transits and soak in their moonlit glow.
The Sun is inconjunct Mars at precisely 9:41pm EST. Physical energy is lower than normal today and you may find yourself feeling physically drained or tired. However, the mind is active and can paint a number of fantastic, dreamlike pictures and ideas.
Thursday, April 28th - The Capricorn moon conjuncts Pluto this morning, which activates Pluto retrograde issues to some extent. You may experience feelings regarding your own ideas of authority and autonomy. The desire to correct any wrongs or injustices will be enhanced.
The moon trines the North Node today, which puts us on the right path as far as working through any karmic blocks. Those people you meet and talk to today shed light on situations that have appeared foggy or muddled.
The moon squares Uranus, suggesting that things will have to be tackled in a more orderly fashion today. Flying by the seat of your pants may not work out so well, although Aquarius will be able to utilize spontaneous energy to finish things up quickly.
The big thing for today is of course, Mercury beginning retrograde motion at 1:20pm EST. Mercury will be retrograde for the next three or so weeks. We have been building up to this for the past week or two, so the energy will not be all that shocking unless you have been unaware or distracted to some degree. The retrograde takes place in the sign of Taurus, which will effect physical, tangible things more than communication or relationship mishaps. Things will break, require fixing, or seem to mysteriously go on the fritz and then fix themselves. This is all a good opportunity to pull yourself away from being too reliant on material possessions. Use this time to go outside, take a walk or center yourself through breathing exercises.
This evening, the moon trines Mercury and sextiles Chiron. Go easy on yourself tonight and get adequate sleep, eat healthy, etc. Reading is favored tonight, as is an interesting discussion or conversation with a friend. Keep things theoretical and not personal and you are apt to learn something new.
