Monday, April 10th ~ The moon is in adventurous, philosophical Sagittarius all day, encouraging exploration and breaking out of routine. The moon trines Chiron at 1:27pm EST. Chiron, the wounded healer, invites us to address feelings of shame and guilt and integrate them so we can heal both self and others who might be going through something similar. This trine with the moon is gentle and allows healing to come through fun, play, and spiritual inspiration. The moon later enters its Waning Gibbous phase at 9:48pm EST. Now that we are out of the Bright Moon phase, it is a good time for gratitude and exploring the things you feel are going well in your life. This may be quite literal or maybe you are just focusing on what makes you happy in this world. The moon goes on to trine Jupiter at 10:55pm EST. This fire trine allows for increased optimism and sharing of positive emotions. There could be profound healing that comes through laughter today.
Tuesday, April 11th ~ Today starts with Venus moving into Gemini at 12:47am EST, where it will be until May 7th. Venus in Gemini is playful, flirtatious, and opens channels to love through connections of the mind. We may notice during this time that communication becomes more of a gateway to attraction. This is a lighter and more social container for Venus, and helps create many new artistic ideas and inspiration. Those with natal Venus in air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and in fire signs Aries and Leo will really enjoy this time and feel a romantic boost. Venus goes on to trine Pluto at 6:14am EST, bringing a need to focus on transformation in relationships. It is time to work through the hard stuff rather than to avoid it. You may feel inspired to work through problems through writing, art, or other creative means. The moon squares Neptune at 6:47am EST and then moves void of course for almost seven hours. This brings some distracted energy; we might be a little scattered and find it challenging to hone in on one topic or action. The moon's void ends at 1:33pm EST as it enters Capricorn. This brings some grounding and a need for more practical pursuits. The Sun conjuncts Jupiter at 6:07pm EST, a joyous transit which we can feel building all day. This is a buoyant, optimistic energy that allows for increased feelings of well being and generosity. The moon goes on to sextile Saturn at 8:07pm and trine its North Node at 8:33pm EST. This can help increase confidence in the self and make it feel easier to see the path forward and know what steps we need to take to get there.
Wednesday, April 12th ~ We have the moon in ambitious, solid Capricorn all day. Emotions are moved through in practical ways, and can be put aside a bit easier to complete the task at hand. The moon opposes Mars at 5:02am EST which can increase restlessness and foster a competitive spirit. We may need to burn off extra energy to start the day. The moon trines Mercury at 9:35am EST, which allows us to communicate clearly and find joy in conversing with others. Knowledge is soaked up readily. The moon squares Chiron at 5:27pm and trines Uranus at 7:23pm EST. Fresh ideas emerge in the mind, and may be somewhat unexpected in their arrival. You may look at a situation with an entirely new approach and perception, and use these insights to work through a very old, stagnant problem in your life.
Thursday, April 13th ~ Today begins with the Capricorn moon squaring Jupiter at 3:19am and then entering its Last Quarter phase at 5:11am EST. These transits bring a boost of energy to complete unfinished tasks. While we may experience some frustration over what we have yet to accomplish, we can channel this in to our actions and perhaps even see dramatic results. The moon sextiles Neptune at 10:14am EST and then moves void of course for six and a half hours. This is a dreamy, compassionate void period which increases our ability to imagine and envision. Coupled with the steadiness of the Capricorn moon we can turn visions into reality. The moon is void until 4:42pm EST when it enters Aquarius. At this point, our perception expands to greater levels. We could be more oriented to the big picture rather than small details. The moon conjuncts Pluto at 5:11pm and trines Venus at 10:23pm EST. Social interactions provide new insights and creative collaborations might be formed or developed further. Finally, the moon squares both its Nodes at 11:33pm EST. This busy celestial day closes out with a feeling of being at the crossroads. This could slow down outer momentum and leave us feeling somewhat uncertain as we examine which way to go. There is a pull between past and the familiar, and the future and all that is unknown.
Friday, April 14th ~ The moon is in utopian, electric Aquarius all day, giving us a desire to embrace uniqueness and what makes us stand out. Venus squares Saturn at 12:38pm EST, a transit which colors the whole day. Be wary of feelings of jealousy or the tendency to try to control loved ones through the guise of care. This could also be directed at you. It comes from a place of good intention but can create friction as the Saturnian energy makes us want to stifle and control something out of fear. Later, Saturn sextiles the North Node of the moon at 1:30pm EST. This is a huge transit, one of the most important of this season or maybe even the whole year. This steadies the disposition and awakens us to a sense of purpose or duty. You may feel a special calling which guides you toward something deemed very important. This has likely been building for the past two weeks and will continue to unfold through the end of April. More on this in my stories today. The moon squares Mercury at 3:15pm and later sextiles Chiron at 8:13pm EST. While we could feel closed off and obsessive in our pursuit of this goal, it can be helpful to talk about our thoughts and ideas with someone else for an added perspective. Finally, the moon squares Uranus at 10:07pm EST which can emphasize highs and lows in the emotions. We may feel impatient for change and could be somewhat reckless in our decision making. Again, try to get advice or talk through feelings with someone else rather than working through things alone.
Saturday, April 15th ~ Today is much quieter than the last couple of days astrologically. We still feel the impact of Saturn sextile the North Node, and will for the next couple of weeks. This brings a solemnity as we accept a duty, or feel a true calling that guides us forward. The moon is in Aquarius to begin the day, sextiling Jupiter at 6:36am EST. This is a creative and playful transit which widens the mind and allows for less judgment of self and others. The moon enters its Waning Crescent phase at 11:15am EST and then moves void of course for seven and a half hours. This is an inward lunar time that encourages introspection, peaceful time in solitude, and plenty of rest and restoration of the spirit. The moon's void ends at 6:56pm EST as it ingresses Pisces. This is an intuitive and emotional moon, which encourages whimsy, childlike wonder, and spiritual wisdom. We may feel like escaping tonight into a particularly engaging daydream, or perhaps getting lost in a book, movie, or other creative world.
Sunday, April 16th ~ Today we have the moon in watery, formless Pisces all day. Pisces is like liquid mercury, moving without boundaries and absorbing energy all around. We may be extra sensitive to the feelings of others today and could take them on as our own. The moon sextiles the North Node at 1:41am and conjuncts Saturn at 1:57am EST. This engages the moon with the current Saturn/North Node sextile and brings an emotional response to the path we feel called to go down. This is an ongoing transit for April that imbues us with a sense of duty that feels almost fated in nature. The moon squares Venus at 4:58am EST; with the moon quickly losing light, we might feel more solitary today and prefer some time alone to regain our emotional equilibrium. The moon later trines Mars at 1:48pm and sextiles Mercury at 7:24pm EST. These bring more mental stimulation and curiosity, plus a need to move the body. Dance and other rhythmic exercise will feel freeing. If you are seeing friends or going out in the world to socialize, the hours of 1:30-8:30pm EST are favored for this.
