We discuss brioche buns, spring flowers, ‘big voice’ singers, gorgeous people, furry eyebrow and distinctive noses in our Taurus-themed month. Some of us are glad to leave behind the drifty Mercury retrograde vibe in Pisces and start making things happen. Some of us are still tying our shoelaces! Enjoy

Remember March 20th? The Spring Equinox was marked by a Libra Full Moon (ay 0 deg). . Well, there’s another Libra Full Moon coming up on April 19th and this one is at 29 deg.
It’s rare to have a two Full Moons in the same sign, so when it happens you pay attention. These Full Moons (and the events on these two dates) will act as bookends- the first and last degree of the sign indicating a beginning and ending. It’s happening in the sign of the balance, so we can surmise that events will swing from one extreme to the other.
The Full Moon on April 19th will make a wide square to the South Node in Capricorn/North Node in Cancer (as well as Saturn/Pluto in Capricorn) so this ending will present you with a choice- stick with old rules/fears/tradition (South Node) or move forward to something that’s more in line with what you need and feel (North Node). Saturn and Pluto suggest there’s a final responsibility to take care of – some pressure to deal with and perhaps some unbalanced power issues. Note that the North Node (path forward) is ruled by the Moon, so you’re moving towards balanced relationships (Libra) that feel (Cancer) safe. You’re looking at how your needs/emotions connect to others.
Note that on March 20th the Sun (newly into Aries) was applying to a conjunction with Chiron in Aries, so Chiron was very much part of that Full Moon. On April 19th, Mercury will conjoin Chiron in Aries, so the theme of the fresh, raw wound (and associated courage) will continue. The hurt and battle that was introduced on March 20th will be put into words during this Full Moon – you may be speaking out and taking flak for it, or finally having that painful but essential conversation. Aries is the first sign, so this is brand new territory. But the lunation is in Libra, so it’s not all about you or them, it’s you and them. Balance is essential. Projection may have to be addressed.
March 20th brought you to a tipping point, and you’ll be at another one on April 19th. How have things changed since March? Are you ready to put the wound into words? What extremes are you experiencing?

Society is pleasant when good manners and mutual sensitivity rule the day. But falseness is off-putting, and others sense it immediately. The challenge is to strike a balance between a pleasant demeanor and an authentic one

Mercury in Aries conjunct Chiron (3 deg)
Words (Mercury) are assertive (Aries) and painful (Chiron). But something needs to be said, even though it will offend. Aries is blunt and truthful but not malicious – this energy is about getting it out there and moving on.
This can also be an opportunity for you to put your pain into words – discuss what makes you feel weak. Maybe your bold statement makes you a scapegoat. Or, maybe others gravitate to the fresh wisdom they sense when you speak.
No matter how this plays out, the goal is healing- say it and be honest about it in order to commence the healing process. The wound won’t disappear (Chiron’s doesn’t work this way) but the goal is to confront and integrate. Own it, admit it and move forward with it.

Aries Sun sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (28 deg)
Lilith’s dangerous woman/outsider is given a boost. Subjective ego and purpose are integrated with fringe expressions of women’s sexuality/power. A social issue may be illuminated, or you may feel that it’s time to express a part of yourself that people object to.
It takes courage to own taboo energy- to step forward from detachment and make it purely personal. To say “This is who I am.” This harmonious aspect allows you to do this in a way that’s effortless, but the energy of the sextile is so effortless that you could miss it.. Watch for the moment when you feel a slight nudge to step forward and declare what’s uncomfortable or forbidden – something that breaks the rules about how a woman “should” be.
