Friday, April 8th - The moon exits its void this morning at 2:10am EST and enters earthy Taurus, bringing with it more stability and grounding. Any emotional reactions will be processed more slowly today, so don't expect to get things out of your system all at once. Take your time and let the process unfold as it will.
The moon is conjunct Mercury this morning, which allows a direct line of communication with others to open up. Talks can be healing and provide a good deal of insight.
We continue with another lunar transit this evening, Moon sextile Neptune. Compassion opens up. Others may be a bit more sensitive than usual. Use this time to connect with those closest to you, or create something in a group. Memories made tonight will be more lasting.
Saturday, April 9th - The Taurus moon trines Jupiter and Pluto early this morning before moving void of course at 5:49am EST. Traveling, particularly by car or even on foot, is supported. Get outside and connect with nature, even if it's just for a short walk. During Taurus moons we benefit from being around trees, plants and animals. Pluto's influence allows our minds to hone in and focus intently on something of interest.
The moon moves through a couple more transits this afternoon, a sextile to Chiron and a trine to the North Node. All of these lunar aspects are pleasant and easy feeling, for the most part. Even Chiron, who is known as the "wounded healer", allows us to take an event or memory from the past and turn it into something more useful today.
The big transit for the day comes at 5:25pm EST as the Sun moves into conjunction with Uranus. This aspect occurs in the sign of Aries, and has many major shake ups in store. Big shifts are occurring now, and you may be inspired to take action that seems to come from out of the blue. Spontaneous behavior is likely. Keep yourself rooted in the present and try to not over-think your actions or those of others. These shifts may appear out of character or strange, but have actually been in the making for many weeks and months. You may not regret what you do today, but it is possible to regret the way in which it is done. Any goodbyes or life changes should be done gracefully and with as much respect as you can muster.
Sunday, April 10th - The moon comes out of its void at 1:59am EST and enters Gemini. Today is apt to be even more spontaneous than yesterday, and the Gemini moon can send us in many directions at once. Hone your attention and choose the best possible path rather than sending your energy in too many places.
We have two transits this afternoon, Moon sextile Venus and Moon opposition Mars. Arguments could spring up, particularly for Gemini and Sagittarius (or those with their Moon or Mars in those signs). The moon/Venus sextile actually serves to keep disagreements more on the civil side, so it is likely that any minor spats can be patched up pretty quickly.
The main feeling of the day is one of awkwardness or discomfort. Two inconjunctions tonight (Mercury inconjunct Mars and Sun inconjunct the North Node) create situations where energies simply miss. Conversations may feel slightly off, or else it may be difficult to see where someone else is coming from. Self confidence could suffer. It may be best to not get too cerebral about this, as once these transits fade, any perceived discomfort will lessen.
The moon squares Neptune tonight, which may aggravate insomnia. Meditation, a warm bath, or anything else that can quiet the mind will be helpful.
Monday, April 11th - We have a LOT of lunar transits today, so emotions may get tugged in a number of different directions in the early part of the day. The Gemini moon sails through a square with Jupiter, opposition with Saturn and sextile with Uranus before noon. Behavior is split down the middle today, and contradictions are afoot. You may feel like you can't get enough done, but find that you can't focus on the tasks you need to complete. This energy bounces back and forth and sends us to one thing and then to something else, with nothing really getting accomplished. Try to lower expectations; it's okay for everything not to go as planned.
This afternoon, the moon squares the North Node and Chiron and sextiles the Sun before moving void of course at 2:57pm EST. Many will feel drained of energy, or as though they are running themselves ragged. Even the smallest tasks will take a lot of stamina. It's best to rest up this afternoon and evening and keep things mellow.
Tuesday, April 12th - The moon exits the void at 4:07am EST and enters watery Cancer. Today is a pleasant, dreamy sort of day with a lot of romantic and gentle energy flowing through it. Mercury and Neptune are in sextile, which is excellent for writers and poets. Creative expression flourishes, particularly in written and spoken word. Taurus and Pisces will feel the most inspired. Communication is soothing, and it is possible to connect to others on a deeper empathetic level today.
Venus and Mars are in exact trine for the day, which is a deeply sensual aspect. Partnerships and romantic connections deepen. Those who are single may feel a strong draw to someone new today. The flip side of this aspect is a boost of physical confidence. Aesthetic sensitivities are heightened, making it an ideal day for personal grooming, shopping or interior design.
The moon and Venus are in square tonight, which creates a bit of friction in partnerships. This is actually useful given the other transits today, and allows for changes and needed shifts to occur. Tension dissolves into a more pleasant solution.
Wednesday, April 13th - Today is a whirlwind of energy from start to finish, with the Cancer moon pinging around to make contact after contact. This morning, the moon trines Neptune, sextiles Mercury and Jupiter, and opposes Pluto. It's an excellent day for shaking up expectations and letting your whims carry you where they will. Adventures are favored, particularly with friends or loved ones. Issues with authority or those in charge could arise.
This afternoon and evening, the moon squares Uranus, sextiles the North Node, trines Chiron and squares the Sun. The night is better for retiring in and keeping the fun close to home, or in some sort of contained environment. If plans are too loose, it may cause an upset within the group.
The moon moves void of course at the last minute of the day, at 11:59pm EST.
Thursday, April 14th - Today is relatively quiet astrologically speaking, with the moon emerging from the void at 9:53am EST and entering Leo. This is a magnificent day for performance, or for being in the public eye in some capacity. Even if it's just walking down the street in an outfit that makes you feel good, it is important to display something that you feel proud of today, even if you are the only one who notices. This will put out energy that directs positive attention back to you, even if it's a bit delayed.
Mercury and Jupiter are in exact trine, which lends itself well to those studying, writing papers or soaking up information of any kind. Curiosity is piqued, and a thirst for information presents for many. Adventure, travel and learning through direct experience is the best way to make use of this energy. If you can't get away, pick up a book on a subject you've always been interested to learn more about, or talk to someone about a topic that intrigues you.
