Overview

On May 9th, the Nodes change signs from Virgo/Pisces to Leo/Aquarius. For the next eighteen months, the North Node in Leo urges you to create something that makes you proud. This means moving away from (or developing) South Node in Aquarius situations. Stepping away from the fringe, into the spotlight. Or, taking a unique talent and making it your purpose/light that everyone can appreciate. North Node in Leo asks that you bring joy and recognition into your life, in whatever way works for you. 

The house positions of the transiting Nodes in your chart tell part of the story, but the natal rulers of the transiting Nodes will give you more information. Your natal Sun (no matter what sign it’s in) is what you want to emphasize. And your natal Uranus will tell you what you’re leaving behind or developing further (via your Sun).  

From May 9th to June 13th, the South Node ruler and the North Node are involved in a Grand Fire Trine comprised of Uranus in Aries and Saturn in Sagittarius. This will make it fairly easy to hook into that North Node path, as change (Uranus) is focused in a productive way (Saturn) on the future (North Node).  

The May 10th Full Moon in Scorpio brings an intense ending/result, and this is enhanced by a Mercury/Uranus conjunction. Words/info will deliver a bluntly clarifying truth, and that truth will reverberate to the core (Scorpio) of your situation. You simply will not be able to deny what you learn. Note that Mercury will be part of the Grand Fire Trine until May 16th, so you’ll have assistance with this – whatever Mercury/Uranus reveals can be integrated into your life, provided you follow Saturn’s agenda (get real, focus, take responsibility). And, Pluto Rx in Capricorn will make friendly aspects to the Sun and Moon, so the inevitable change should feel natural and empowering. 

From May 11th to 12th, Mars in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces and trines Jupiter Rx in Libra. Actions (Mars) can take you further and net you the good stuff. But, watch out for that Neptune square – you can also lose sight of your original goal or try to grab at too many choices (Gemini). There may be multiple, intriguing paths. But in reality, one is appropriate – stay focused. 

Aries

The North Node into your sector of self-expression/South Node into your social sector urges you to take pride in the changes you’ve made. Uranus (South Node ruler) in your sign has been shaking you loose from anything that’s been holding back. Now, it’s time to flaunt your newly liberated self and show off your talents. Creative work, performance, celebrations and new romance are favoured. The Grand Fire Trine (including Mercury/Uranus in your sign) can help, as your creative urges are given focus and ease of application – all you have to do is present your surprising idea or follow through on that revelation. The rest should flow naturally. 

The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources presents a conclusion involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Along with Mercury/Uranus in your sign, the culmination may be sudden and deep. Nonetheless, you can use the Grand Trine to progress smoothly to the next level, while expressing your essential thoughts. Good for financial documents or therapeutic insights. Career and future goals can also benefit. 

However, aspects to Mars in your communication sector can trigger some overenthusiastic ideals or promises. Before you declare yourself, or initiate the big plan, make sure that you’re 100% clear on what the other person is offering. They should be on board with your plan, but a few misunderstandings will need to be clarified. Make sure you’re both moving in the same direction. 

Taurus

The North Node into your domestic sector/South Node into your career sector emphasizes a shift in your approach to career, ambition, success and dealings with those in authority. It’s time to consider how you can build a domestic foundation that makes you proud, via a new career direction. This may involve completely switching paths, spending more time at home or launching a home business. The Sun (North Node ruler) in your sign adds energy to your new task. The Grand Fire Trine accesses background issues, providing clarity and structure to hidden motivations. You can build on secret or undeveloped ideas. Home finances, you partner’s finances or vague plans (that you haven’t acted on) can be firmed up. 

The Full Moon in your partnership sector can reveal a surprising relationship issue. The answer/next stage can catch you off guard – maybe you didn’t see this person/this response coming. Too, you can suddenly change your mind about who you want, or how you want to handle things. The trine from Pluto to the Sun in your sign suggests this is a growth opportunity, even if an ending is featured. There’s much more on the horizon. 

Aspects to Mars in your sector of personal resources suggest opportunities for financial growth or emotional wins. But before you dive in/spend/pursue, know that there is a risk of overspending or miscalculating. You could push things too far, or take on more work than you can handle. Pull back just a bit. Use caution if friends, groups or public opinions are influencing you – they may not be aligned with your best interests. 

Gemini

The North Node in your communication sector/South Node in your sector of opportunities puts your words in the spotlight. Watch for a shift in ideals and education, as new experiences encourage you to speak out. Some of these new experiences may detach you from old beliefs or philosophies about right and wrong, justice or legal issues. Excellent for writing, promotion or education. The Grand Fire Trine helps you get your thoughts in order and deliver them with ease and authority. Mediation and compromise are hi-lighted, as are public statements. 

The Full Moon in your sector of routine delivers an abrupt conclusion to a work or health matter. You may be surprised by what others think, or by the solutions they offer. Too, the impact that the group has on your daily routines/work habits could be disruptive, but can ultimately point you in the right direction as errors are revealed. Pay attention to deeper insights that are stirred up by mundane disruptions. 

Aspects to Mars in your sign can boost your confidence in a new project/initiative/attraction. It may seem like a sure thing, but make sure your actions are realistic. Mixed messages from those in authority, or an unrealistic view of the future, can send you down the wrong path. Too, disillusionment can undermine momentum and scatter your focus, so you end up doing nothing. Don’t get distracted by what’s not working – focus on what you can do. 

Cancer

The North Node in your sector of personal resources/South Node in your sector of shared resources spotlights earned income, self-esteem and values. Taking pride in what you do to earn money may be a theme. Or, this may be as basic as learning how to stand up for yourself.  You may need to detach yourself from dependancies on another, or work on releasing blocks to success and abundance. Too, it could be time to get yourself out of debt. The Grand Fire Trine focuses you firmly on career and work habits. By getting serious about your future goals, and what it takes to manifest them, you can make the most of the Nodal transit. Excellent for a job search, career change or upgrade/launch of a home business. 

The Full Moon in your sector of self-expression can trigger surprising results to issues involving creative work, children/pregnancy or a new attraction. You could get what you want (unexpectedly) or the truth about what you’ve been striving for could be revealed abruptly and publicly. A professional launch will definitely put you in the spotlight, but the impact on your reputation may be surprising. All partnerships (business and romantic) are supported by this Moon, so watch for reassuring developments or assistance. 

Aspects to Mars in your hidden sector can stir up passionate fantasies or questionable ambitions. Your desire for more will increase, but proceed carefully – actions can have unanticipated consequences. 

Leo

The North Node into your sign/South Node into your partnership sector can shine a light on relationships, whether you’re single or involved. A new attraction with a fated quality could come your way. Or, an existing relationship could change dramatically. The key will be your increasing awareness of what/who makes you feel special and confident. A lifestyle change, new career or overhaul to your identity may be in the works. The Grand Fire Trine zeros you in on what needs to be done, so you can get ahead. Self-improvement and advancement will require discipline and focus – good intentions aren’t enough. If you’ve got your eye on opportunities involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing, now’s the time to set your plan in motion. 

The Full Moon in your domestic sector suggests a culmination involving home, family, relocation or work. The results have been brewing for awhile, but this outcome may be delivered suddenly. And, you may feel pushed outside your comfort zone. Know that something new is on the horizon – it’s time to step beyond what you’ve become accustomed to. Work, health and career goals can benefit from this Moon’s results.  

Aspects to Mars in your social sector suggest opportunities involving a friendship, group association or public lunch. Enthusiastic ideas can open a door, but you can also be undermined by what you’ve been ignoring or hiding. Intimacy and shared finances may be trouble spots. Move forward, but remain conscious of what you’re doing – it will be easy to overstep your boundaries. Don’t allow insecurities or addictions to send you down the wrong path. 

Virgo

The North Node into your hidden sector/South Node into your sector of routine asks you to step beyond the limits of your daily work. There’s something bigger/better to develop – a dream or ultimate goal. Yes, you can go there, but you’ll need to let go of some limiting habits.  And this may include your understanding of what you’re capable of. Too, it could be time to take a diet/exercise routine or daily task to the next level. The Grand Fire Trine deepens your understanding of what you need to do by giving you access to previously obscured information. Conversations can reveal something that blows away misconceptions. Domestic finances or joint goals with a partner are featured. 

The Full Moon in your communication sector hits you with a revelation that reverberates on public and private levels. An announcement, discussion or document signing (especially involving joint finances) might involve a deeper commitment, perhaps more than you anticipated. Too, this Moon could also unveil an opportunity to achieve a deeply desired goal – be prepared to say “Yes.” 

Aspects to Mars in your career sector present an opportunity for advancement and/or more money. However, someone else may not have your best interests at heart. Or, their motivations might be at cross-purposes with yours. Whether someone is purposefully or unintentionally undermining you, proceed carefully and check all the details before you make your move. 

Libra

The North Node into your social sector/South Node into your sector of self-expression asks you to consider what your purpose within the group is. This can be a chance to shine and display your talents, but first you’ll have to figure out what the public wants. The Grand Fire Trine helps you align your goals and ideas with others; one-on-one partnerships and group connections can all work together as you establish a beneficial social network. 

The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources can deliver surprising news from a partner that rattles your security, or reveals a new source of income/fresh insight into what you must have. Disruptive info can be the best kind, as it shocks you out of complacency and clarifies the value of what you want or have. Discussions about earned money/domestic finances can be revealing. 

Aspects to Mars in your sector of opportunities (including Jupiter Rx in your sign) urge you to take a risk or expand your reach, especially in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing. However, before you make your move, make sure that your health is in good shape and all the details have been covered. What you overlook or don’t fix can increase the risk to unacceptable limits. Take extra precautions when traveling.   

Scorpio

The North Node into your career sector/South Node into your domestic sector suggests a stronger push for success and authority. This is about getting recognition for your professional contributions, while moving on from the past. You may break some family rules and traditions in the process, as you detach from what used to be essential. The Grand Fire Trine encourages you to focus on the details and start upgrading, organizing and paying attention to your daily routines. The mundane facts and necessities will be crucial parts of your financial and professional growth. Watch for a game-changing work conversation. 

The Full Moon in your sign can bring culminations for a personal or professional relationship. A complete change in your appearance or public identity may be featured, as well as your connection to a significant person. Surprising work or health news may be the trigger. Too, the balance of power between you and another (how much you give versus what they take) may need to be addressed. 

Aspects to Mars in your sector of shared resources can increase the urge to spend, invest or dive deeper into a relationship. While there’s more to uncover, keep a check on your urges – it will be easy to go too far, give too much, or lose yourself. Watch for addictive tendencies to be stirred up. 

Sagittarius

The North Node into your sector of opportunities/South Node into your communication sector urges you to chase a dream, explore or pursue your passions. It’s time torun with the idea that you’ve been turning over in your mind. Travel, learn something new or take a risk. The further you go, the more you’ll shine. The Grand Fire Trine (including Saturn Rx in your sign) helps you lay down the groundwork for the above, by focusing you on next steps. Make a list and plan out exactly what needs to be done. Also excellent for getting your words published or receiving positive attention for your ideas. New romance or issues involving children/pregnancy can move in the right direction, with your patience and commitment. 

The Full Moon in your hidden sector can present a sudden reveal. A secret or unacknowledged issue may be in the spotlight, and this could be the best thing for you. It could be something you’ve wanted to announce/discuss for a while. Too, you could be pleasantly surprised by what someone else has to say. Watch for growth or confirmation of work/health routines and financial stability. 

Aspects to Mars in your partnership sector suggest growth in a new or existing relationship. Personal or professional partnerships will benefit from mutual freedom and an open-minded approach. However, you may find it tempting to slide back into old habits/fears. Too, family issues can undermine your focus. Keep yourself in the present and pay attention to your partner’s actions, rather than what you think they’ll do. 

Capricorn

The North Node into your sector of shared resources/South Node into your sector of personal resources emphasizes what you don’t have complete control over. Debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy will be energized, as you’re encouraged to pool your resources, get closer to someone or achieve greater levels of trust. Too, you may be encouraged to explore how you can get more from what you have or earn. The Grand FireTrine helps you focus on issues of trust, domestic finances and fear of change – watch for reassuring progress in these areas.

The Full Moon in your social sector (including aspects from Pluto Rx in your sign) can signify an exciting public launch or event. Or, a private matter may go public, with an unexpected announcement. Friendships or group relations may reveal more than anticipated, but you should have a handle on whatever happens. This Moon can represent an increase in your confidence, personal power and self-expression. 

Aspects to Mars in your sector of routine can dump more work and daily activities on your plate, while undermining your energy and focus. Identify top priorities and double check information, medical diagnoses and details. You can still accomplish a lot if you manage your energy. 

Aquarius

The South Node into your sign/North Node into your partnership sector puts the focus on how you engage in one-on-one relationships. Are you fully present, or is one foot out the door? Do you think of yourself as someone that nobody can handle? A new relationship could enter your life and challenge preconceptions about who you are. Or, you could experience a significant shift in an existing relationship.  The Grand Fire Trine facilities communication in all relationships (romantic and platonic) which can help you make new, beneficial connections that last. Too, conversations with an existing partner can flow easily, as you both plan for the future. 

The Full Moon in your career sector can present a surprising conversation with management, or a surprising result/ending. Your professional image might be jolted, along with your awareness of where your career path is going. An honest assessment of career goals and capabilities will be themes. 

Aspects to Mars in your sector of self-expression can encourage you to indulge. A new attraction, chance to celebrate or spend will be tempting. And there’s certainly potential for fun, or to grab attention for yourself. But it will also be easy to take it too far, or jump in before you’re fully aware of the risks. Use just a bit of caution, and watch your bank account. Escapist urges will be cranked up – consider the difference between a short break versus a full-blown break from reality. 

Pisces

The North Node into your sector of routine/South Node into your hidden sector puts you on the path to improvement and refinement. Health, responsibilities, diet, exercise and self-care will be areas that you’re encouraged to work on – this is about grounding yourself in the real world and creating a daily life that you can be proud of. The Grand Fire Trine helps by drawing your attention to lucrative opportunities for growth and success. Earned income and career goals can benefit, as long as you’re ready to tackle immediate responsibilities and/or change your present course if it’s not working for you. 

The Full Moon in your sector of opportunities can trigger a culmination involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Results may have a surprising impact on your finances or security, but you can also access beneficial contacts with friends, groups or the public. A public launch or announcement could work in your favour. 

Aspects to Mars in your domestic sector, including Neptune in your sign, can trigger confusing issues involving relocation, domestic finances, a home business or home repairs. Stability may be in question as you juggle multiple priorities. Too, your initiative may be lacking, as you feel overwhelmed by family issues. If it feels like too much, step back and wait until you feel more settled.

Overview 

Mercury in Aries stations direct on May 3rd, signalling progress in all matters of communication and information. You can move past what’s been delayed or confused since April 9th, when Mercury stationed retrograde. Mercury’s direct motion takes full advantage of Aries’ energy – answers will be honest (or blunt) and plans can progress quickly.  

The Taurus Sun makes a harmonious sextile to Neptune in Pisces on May 3rd, and an awkward inconjunct to Jupiter Rx in Libra on May 5th. Another inconjunct is perfecting between Neptune and Jupiter Rx, exact on May 17th. What does this mean? From May 3rd to May 5th, there will be a Yod with Jupiter Rx as focal point. Growth and opportunity are symbolized by Jupiter, but this growth will be out of synch with a security/stability issue (Sun in Taurus sextile Neptune in Pisces). Too, Neptune in hard aspect to Jupiter is notorious for creating misguided expectations. 

There’s still much you can do with Jupiter as focal point. But you’ll have to adjust expectations with reality, and pull back on the growth, just a bit. Jupiter is Rx anyway, so expansion is best achieved within a narrower range.

Aries

Mercury direct in your sign suggests a final decision or answer. Now you know what the deal is, and you’re ready to move forward. Too, Mercury direct can encourage you to publicly declare your intentions. Identity, relationships or lifestyle may be impacted. 

The Yod to Jupiter Rx in your partnership sector suggests a balancing act between relationship growth/cooperation versus your personal security and financial needs. What you want to develop for yourself may appear to be at odds with what someone else wants, but in reality, partnership is the key to your success. Consider what the other person has to offer – try taking one step back from your personal agenda, and watch hopeful potentials expand. 

Taurus

Mercury direct in your hidden sector marks the next stage in a background development. It’s still not time to go public (that time will come when Mercury enters your sign, on May 16th) but you should sense that the pieces are falling into place.  Hidden information can be confirmed, or you may decide that it’s time to move on from what’s been holding you back. 

The Yod to Jupiter Rx in your sector of routine (including the Sun in your sign) can see you struggling with health or work issues. You know a change or upgrade is emphasized, but it could make you uncomfortable. Certain habits (personal and social) will have to be adjusted. Too, your social image or approach to networking may require some fine-tuning. The key to productive growth is to channel your energy and ideals into your day-to-day activities. Not just any activities – you want more good-for-you habits, and less distractions/indulgence. For some, a new job, or increased workload at an existing job, will challenge you to adjust your attitude to work. 

Gemini

Mercury direct in your social sector puts an end to delays/misunderstandings with a friend or group association. Communication with others in general should be straightforward, and you should feel that you have more control over how others receive your messages. If you’ve been holding off on a public announcement or launch, Mercury direct can be go time. 

The Yod to Jupiter Rx in your sector of self-expression suggests challenges as you attempt to focus personal and/or professional ideals into a creative project or new romance. You know what you want more of, but it may not align with a secret dream. Too, you could be disappointed with the results, when they don’t quite match your hopes. Adjust your expectations, but don’t give up on the ideal. Both are achievable. Consider the best way to show off your talents/charm/attraction power while still honouring what you hold sacred. 

Cancer

Mercury direct in your career sector spells progress in a job hunt, home business, discussions with management or your professional image. By now, you should have a clear idea of how to promote yourself. If a hot idea has been developing, this might be the time to launch/go public. 

The Yod to Jupiter Rx in your domestic sector will require some skill to balance home/family issues with public developments. Efforts to grow your family, relocate or improve your home will need to be adjusted with future ideals and public relationships. Others may have more of a say in what happens then you’re comfortable with. Even if you have to dial back on some hopes/efforts to expand, know that the primary focus is growth and abundance for you, and those closest to you. 

Leo

Mercury direct in your sector of opportunities can trigger a surge of progress around travel, education, legal matters, long-distance romance or publishing. After such a long wait, you might experience this as a burst of renewed optimism and ambition. Doors that you thought were closed could reopen. If they don’t, know there’s something even better (and more appropriate) coming right up.

The Yod to Jupiter Rx in your communication sector suggests that a big promise or hope may be floating in front of you. But, you’ll have to mange this one carefully. Make sure your professional goals/image and shared resources (financial or emotional) align with what you’re promising, or being promised. There’s a risk of asking for/expecting way too much. Consider what you can realistically deliver, or what you can realistically receive, and stick with that. 

Virgo

Mercury direct in your sector of shared resources releases delays and clears up confusion around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. If you’ve been hesitating to go deeper, Mercury direct can give you a needed shove. If you’ve been attempting to untangle murky motivations (with yourself or someone else) Mercury direct can give you a clear picture. 

The Yod to Jupiter Rx in your sector of personal resources puts earned money, self-esteem and values in the spotlight. You’ve probably been struggling to get more/earn more, and the struggle comes from the need to adjust personal growth with compromise. In order to get more of what you want, you’ll have to venture outside your comfort zone and consider what others are suggesting or offering. Can someone else be of assistance? 

Libra

Mercury direct in your partnership sector clarifies the status of a relationship. This could mean that you move forward together, or you say goodbye. But there should be no mistaking the state of things. Too, if you’ve been hesitating to initiate a conversation with someone intriguing, this could be an opportune time. 

The Yod to Jupiter Rx in your sign pinpoints an area of growth. You sense the potential, and it looks hopeful. But there could be a buildup of frustration as that potential keeps slipping out of focus. Maybe you get sidetracked by fears/insecurities/money issues, or distracted by health and work problems. Tend to the routine stuff and acknowledge the deeper issues. But don’t ignore the opportunity that’s right in front of you. Try firming up your foundation (health, money, routines) to support this expansion. 

Scorpio

Mercury direct in your sector of routine helps you gain clarity and control over work and health matters. Even if it’s not all sorted, you should see progress with improvements, diagnoses and work tasks. Prioritization and efficiency can go more smoothly as well. 

The Yod to Jupiter Rx in your hidden sector asks you to balance a secret ideal or background development with real life. What you’re hoping for (but have not revealed) is not impossible, but it may be out of touch with what someone else can provide. Also, consider that the other person may have no idea about your grand plan, so how can they meet your expectations? 

Sagittarius

Mercury direct in your sector of self-expression can get you back on track with a creative project, new attraction or issues with children/pregnancy. What you need to say or choose should become obvious, as will your best approach to promoting yourself or reaching a new audience. 

The Yod to Jupiter Rx in your social sector calls for an adjustment to social expectations. Growth involving friendships, group associations or your public image is key, but you’ll need to take practical and personal issues into consideration. You may have to dial back the expansion/big plans, and focus your energy in one direction. Too, some friendships may change as you honour developments at home/with your health.

Capricorn

Mercury direct in your domestic sector gets things moving in the areas of family discussions, relocation, a home business or domestic partnership. A family discussion can be finalized, or home documents may finally come through/be signed. 

The Yod to Jupiter Rx in your career sector suggests certain professional goals (a new job, advancement at a current job, expansion of a home business) may not be straightforward. Personal desires/ideals, issues with children/pregnancy, or a creative project will have to factored in. Creative and personal energies can be focused through your professional goals, but you’ll need to narrow your range of ambition. Also, consider if these newly emerging issues enhance or undermine your professional image. 

Aquarius

Mercury direct in your communication sector can clarify an ongoing discussion with siblings, or gift you with general clarity about a decision, answer or past conversation. You should feel confident now to speak up about a certain issue, or declare your intentions. 

The Yod to Jupiter Rx in your sector of opportunities indicates ripe potential for long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing. However, your next move may be more of an adjustment than a leap forward. Domestic and financial matters must be taken into consideration – your stability and resources may be in question. Too, you may be questioning if a relocation is the best thing for you. Ultimately, this influence suggests you are meant to move on/move forward, but you’ll need to look at the realities of where you’re coming from.

Pisces

Mercury direct in your sector of personal resources signals progress around earned money, sources of income and personal values. It should be easier to know where you stand, what you’re getting and how you can declare what you need. Financial discussions can move forward, and even if you don’t get what you want, you’ll have the courage and initiative to look for new sources.

The Yod to Jupiter Rx in your sector of shared resources (including Neptune in your sign) asks you to pause before you spend more/give more/invest more. Resources (emotional or financial) that you’re considering sharing may be based in idealistic hopes instead of reality. There is growth potential in a financial or relationship situation, but you’ll need to proceed very carefully – look at the facts. If you don’t have enough, or if what you know is different from what you hope for, you may be better off sitting this one out.

Overview

This week we continue the exchange  between past and present. 

The April 26th New Moon in Taurus presents a quietly solid new beginning that may refer back to April 20th. The conjunction between Mercury Rx and the Taurus Sun on that day planted some seeds of genuine understanding – real facts. The New Moon will build on those facts, giving you something reliable to work with. Growth will be slow but assured, if you keep it simple.

On April 28th, Venus returns to Aries (from Pisces) and Mercury Rx in Aries conjoins Uranus. Venus first entered Aries on February 3rd, but stationed Rx and then backed into Pisces. An issue that began on February 3rd (involving relationships, money, self-esteem or values) went through a long process of delays and questioning. April 28th can mark the conclusion to that process, with a side of clarity and surprise. Mercury Rx/Uranus suggest there’s more to discover with a second look or additional questions. And Venus suggests it may be sweeter than you anticipated. Even if the results aren’t entirely what you’d hoped for, know that this will be a chance to revisit something you wanted or loved, with a different attitude and fresh insight. 

April 30th delivers an exact square between Saturn Rx in Sagittarius and Chiron in Pisces (Wounded Healer). The painful limits indicated by this aspect have been intensifying throughout April. As the square peaks, you may achieve a breakthrough as you finally deal with a weakness. Or, maybe you realize that you can’t fix it, and you move on. Note that Saturn symbolizes time (and maturity) – your uncomfortable reality could involve accepting that time is the healer. Sometimes there’s nothing you can do but wait (Saturn) for the pain to subside after you have confronted the wound. 

After April 30th, it gets easier. 

Aries

The New Moon in your sector of personal resources builds on financial or security-drivenbeginnings from April 20th. Seeds can be planted regarding earned money, new sources of income or how you handle budgets/spending. Too, this could be the time to firm up personal values and create an environment that’s supportive to your self-esteem. 

Venus’s reentry into your sign, and Mercury Rx/Uranus in your sign, suggest an explosive conclusion to what’s been brewing since February 3rd. Now that you’ve said goodbye/made peace, you can accelerate with a renewed sense of what you want, and what makes you hot. A new opportunity may be accompanied by an abrupt announcement – you’re ready to declare yourself. Relationships, public image and self-esteem can receive an electric reboot. 

Saturn/Chiron can release a hidden wound. Restrictions around travel, exploration, education, legal matters or publishing have triggered background insecurities or hurts. Now, you may discover a workaround, or find that the limit was not as bad as you anticipated. 

Taurus

The New Moon in your sign is the next step in a process that began on April 20th. A new impulse, understanding or conversation can put you in a more stable position. There could be a lead that you’re following, or an idea that has potential to grow into something substantial. 

Venus’ reentry into your hidden sector, and Mercury Rx/Uranus, clarify what you’ve been suspecting since February 3rd. A secret, background potential or flash of inspiration can reveal something that’s perfectly timed. Although you’re not ready to go public with this just yet, trust that you’re in the first stages of development. 

Saturn/Chiron can help you move past a painful issue with friends, group associations, or your public image. By taking responsibility for personal boundaries or shared finances, you can confront issues of embarrassment or hurt feelings. Where you don’t belong/aren’t wanted, may also need to be dealt with. Attending to your obligations on a private level is essential for public healing. 

Gemini

The New Moon in your hidden sector quietly confirms what was hinted at on April 20th. A background potential or gut feeling can solidify – trust that this is the start of something real, even if you can’t see it clearly yet. This can also manifest as an unproven but compelling feeling. 

Venus’ return to your social sector, and Mercury Rx/Uranus, can reignite a friendship, group association or your public image. Reactions will be swift and uncensored, and it’s possible that you’ll make quite the impact. Networking or a public launch can also receive a second wind. Too, you may be surprised by an abrupt shift in a friendship (platonic to romantic or vice versa) even though the change has been brewing for a while. Look back to February 3rd for the seeds of current developments. 

Saturn/Chiron can indicate a peak of frustration regarding personal and/or professional relationships. Your attempts to navigate conflicting goals, commitments and boundaries with another have stirred up doubts or helplessness. And while it’s true that your effectiveness has been limited, you should be be able to see around the corner after this aspect. Watch for a breakthrough – it won’t be win/win, but the pressure should ease up as you accept the limits you have to work with. 

Cancer

The New Moon in your social sector can confirm what began around April 20th. A conversation, idea or new contact can solidify, as you gradually proceed with a sense of how to gain more value from a friendship, group association or public launch. This is about building something (with others) that will last. 

Venus’ return to your career sector, and Mercury Rx/Uranus, can add new life to stale or dormant professional goals. Watch for improved relationships with those in authority, or a boost to your professional image. However, Uranus’ wild-card influence can work for or against you. On the plus side, a chance discussion can move things in a new, profitable direction. But something compromising can also be exposed. Look back to February 3rd for an idea of where things may be going. 

Saturn/Chiron completes a stretch of doubts/insecurities about the future. Your faith has been tested, and your sense of adventure has been limited. Travel, long-distance issues, education, legal matters, exploration and publishing are areas where you may have experienced blocks. As this influence peaks, know that the test is almost over. Your attention to detail and adjustments to your routines will get you past this last challenge. As you move forward, consider how your daily obligations and priorities have been challenged.   

Leo

The New Moon in your career sector builds on a key conversation/meeting from April 20th. Opportunities may not be showy, but there is something solid (involving your professional image, authority or relationship to those in authority) that can increase over time. Take it slow and look at the long-term picture. 

Venus’ return to your opportunities sector, and Mercury Rx/Uranus, reignites something involving travel, education, long-distance romance, legal matters or publishing. Be on the lookout for the unexpected, especially if you thought this matter was closed (refer back to February 3rd). Luck could play a major role in any benefits you attract, but you’ll have to act quickly and take a chance. 

Saturn/Chiron has delivered plenty of reminders of where you’ve been feeling less-than.  Romance, shared finances or creativity might have exposed your vulnerabilities and tested your confidence. Well, you’ve come to the end of this test. A final burst of effort and focus may be called for, in order to prove that you’ve got what it takes. Or, it might be time to cut your losses. Saturn will make it very clear which track you’re on. 

Virgo

The New Moon in your sector of opportunities offers you a platform to step out into the unknown. Gradual expansion is the key, and long distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing can benefit from your cautious but determined steps forward. April 20th may have introduced the first clue – now, you’re following up on what you learned.

Venus’ return to your sector of shared resources, and Mercury Rx/Uranus, suggests there are a few more surprises in the areas of debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. A surprise can be a good thing, as you discover there’s more love/resources than you anticipated. An abrupt conversation will cut to the heart of some sensitive issues, and show you exactly what you have to work with. February 3rd set these wheels in motion. 

Saturn/Chiron has been pressing on a relationship sore spot for a while. Conflicts around commitment, domestic goals, family issues or mutual responsibilities have stirred up bigger worries about loss or rejection. Saturn urges you to keep this in perspective, while grounding yourself in the present. What do you have control over? Hint -it’s not your partner. Who are you responsible for? Again, not your partner. After this aspect subsides, you should experience a lessening of guilt and anxiety, especially if the two of you have agreed to disagree on certain issues, and you’ve tackled the work that you (and you alone) have to do. 

Libra

The New Moon in your sector of shared resources can manifest as financial or emotional abundance. A new relationship or financial development will be solid – something you can depend on. It should also make you feel secure (discomfort is a sign that this is not for you). Think back to April 20th; a hint or conversation from that time can now lead to more. 

Venus’ return to your relationship sector, and Mercury Rx/Uranus, can present a startling conclusion to an issue that’s been in the works since February 3rd. An ending or acceleration can hit quickly, with a surprising but honest conversation (or confession). 

Saturn/Chiron helps you come to terms with a health or work problem. Pressure/discomfort involving medical issues, work tasks or responsibilities may have undermined your effectiveness and confidence over the past month. As you confront and surpass the peak of this influence, you’ll see exactly what you can fix, and what you have to accept as is. There may be relief as you let go of a responsibility, or accept a loss.   

Scorpio

The New Moon in your partnership sector can confirm a relationship conversation that began on April 20th. Quiet commitments and practical understandings are emphasized over romance and flashy declarations. Consider the long-term value of what the other person is saying.

Venus’ return to your sector of routine, and Mercury Rx/Uranus, suggest a surprising reboot to a health or work issue (that began around February 3rd). Watch for a rapid readjustment of priorities and responsibilities. In work or personal relationships, you may be expected to quickly accept a new routine or task. Too, you may decide that the truth has to be spoken about what you will and will not do. 

Saturn/Chiron marks the end of an ongoing, painful process involving children/pregnancy, new romance or creative work. Your financial and emotional resources have been tested, as you’ve struggled to work with less, or accept someone’s denial/rejection. Not fun, but now you can move past it, and in the process, congratulate yourself on developing self-sufficiency and grit. 

Sagittarius

The New Moon in your sector of routine can nail down some information/solutions from April 20th. Health issues, work or obligations can progress slowly but surely, as youhave something concrete to work with. Also excellent for starting a new diet/exercise regime. 

Venus’ return to your sector of self-expression, and Mercury Rx/Uranus, can bring surprising news involving children/pregnancy, a new attraction or creative work. What began around February 3rd may reenter your life, or accelerate in an unexpecteddirection. You may be caught off guard when you get what you want, attract something/someone surprising, or put yourself on the line and take that risk.  

Saturn Rx in your sign has been stirring up family wounds, or domestic difficulties, with its square to Chiron. The past month may have been especially awkward, with reminders of what you’d like to forget. Or, difficulties taking on more (possibly thankless) responsibilities. And yet, there’s a specific issue that you must prepare for, or something from the past that you need to confront. You have to be the adult. As the square perfects and separates, the pressure should ease. Past issues can be resolved (but not solved – Chiron’s wounds never disappear) and you should feel better equipped to handle your new role. This may be a case of learning to live with something, or maturely accepting certain limits.   

Capricorn

The New Moon in your sector of self-expression presents something solid and desirable. April 20th dropped the first hint about what that might be, and now developments involving a new attraction, children/pregnancy or creative work are off to a good start. Ground yourself in what you know you want or what you know you can do, and you’ll attract more. 

Venus’ return to your domestic sector, and Mercury Rx/Uranus, can flip the switch on a domestic relationship, family dynamics or home improvements/home business. A project or issue that’s been on the back burner (since February 3rd) can be revitalized, thanks to an abrupt conversation or realization. The answer you’ve been waiting for can be delivered suddenly Or, you may be the one who decides that it’s time to put your cards on the table. 

Saturn/Chiron has defined a doubt or sore spot, and talking about it may have made matters worse. Not everything can be resolved, and not everything is meant to be discussed. The good news is, that issue should start to fade. It may not vanish, but you can turn a corner where you accept what you have to let go of, or who you have to say goodbye to. It’s possible that all this is happening in the background – maybe no one knows the full extent of what you’re dealing with. 

Aquarius

The New Moon in your domestic sector can help you put down roots, physically or emotionally. New developments may be quiet, but you can slowly build up your security as you centre yourself in what feels best for you. Developments with a home business, home renovations, relocation or family dynamics may be key, and will refer back to April 20th.

Venus’ return to your communication sector, and Mercury Rx/Uranus, suggest a conversation/email/phone call that delivers good news, although not in the way you expected. February 3rdfeatured delays or a change of heart about something you wanted, but now you should see progress. Too,  you could decide that it’s time to take a bit of a risk and declare your intentions. 

Saturn/Chiron has been emphasizing a lack of financial or emotional security. Not enough money, confidence or support has been a theme over the last month, as you struggled to reconcile new goals with old security needs. As the square passes, you should come to a realization that what works for others is not always in your best interests.  You can feel relief as you release yourself from the obligations and expectations of others, while accepting that old financial/emotional goals are no longer valid. 

Pisces

The New Moon in your communication sector brings a confirmation, based on a discussion/understanding from April 20th. Watch for solid intel, or a sense that what’s being said is the real deal. Too, it may be time for you to fully commit yourself, via a decision, answer or signed document. 

Venus’ return to your sector of personal resources, and Mercury Rx/Uranus, can revitalize a financial or self-esteem issue. February 3rd might have brought delays or a shortfall, but now you could be surprised by a sudden surge of opportunity or confidence. Watch for developments with a previous source of income. In some cases, financial changes may feel destabilizing, but know that you’re being alerted to something better. 

Saturn Rx in your career sector, square Chiron in your sign, has underlined an insecurity around success, career goals or authority. Over the past month, you may have been asked to step up and take responsibility when you’ve felt like you were in over your head. Or, frustrating blockages in your career may have had you questioning your entire future. As the square subsides, watch for a clearer understanding of what you’re capable of, and what you need to step away from.

Overview

The Sun enters Taurus on April 19th, ushering in the season of values, survival and physical abundance. Taurus is about what you can touch and rely on – the existing resources that you grow. 

This Taurus season is defined by an inferior conjunction between the Sun and Mercury Rx (April 20th). Although Mercury is retrograde, this conjunction is a new beginning in the Sun/Mercury cycle. Reviewing/revisiting can reveal new resources that you weren’t aware of. Adding emphasis, Pluto stations Rx in Capricorn on the same day. The plow of reconstruction (or in some cases, destruction) digs deeper when it moves in reverse. Transformation is intensified. 

Also on April 20th (this is a big day)….

Mercury Rx retreats into Aries a few hours after it conjoins the Sun. New insight that you unearth can be applied to an initial impulse/conversation that first sparked around March 30th.   

Mars (ruler of Aries) enters Gemini (ruled by Mercury) on April 21st, and the two planets resonate with each other. Mars into Gemini triggers new choices/facts/discussions, and this can fuel Mercury Rx in Aries. An issue that you thought was dead may be revived. This can be good or bad, depending on the issue. Either way, you’ll benefit if you tackle it from a different angle. However, also on April 21st we have the final square between Venus in Pisces and Saturn Rx in Sag. So you will be dealing with painful limits that have been around since April 8th. After April 21st, the square will dissipate, and the issue involving love/money/self-esteem should diminish. Or at least, you’ll have accepted what you can’t have and what you must work with. 

Know that Saturn will continue to square Chiron in Pisces until April 30th, so you may have to continue dealing with the core wound until the end of the month. This issue probably has a few layers, and Venus’ departure means you’ll have worked through one layer. April 30th is not so far away; you’re almost there.  

A Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn will take place in January, 2020. This is the big league- we’re talking seismic shifts in power and complete deconstruction of certain traditions. Interested in knowing how it might impact you? Check out my PDF download. 

Aries

The Sun and Mercury Rx in your sector of personal resources introduces a lucrative conversation or piece of information. Mercury Rx has urged you to review finances and personal values. Now you can come to an understanding that will be crucial to your future security. As Mercury backs into your sign, get ready to reinvigorate a previous idea, or have that discussion one more time. There’s still life in an old issue. Pluto Rx adds revised career goals to the mix – professional status, ambitions or your job description are still under construction. 

Mars into your communication sector supports Mercury Rx in your sign. If you’ve been lacking the initiative to say it/write it, your passion will be reignited. Any increase in the amount of communication (brief conversations, emails, phone calls) is meant to fire up a previous topic of discussion. However, Venus/Saturn will confront you with an ending or limited expansion in one area. A specific part of the dream, and associated disappointment, must be attended to. Clear that away and you can move forward with the rest of your life. 

Taurus

The Sun and Mercury Rx in your sign can clarify what recent delays or reversals have been all about. You can unearth valuable insight about your public image, physical appearance or personal goals. Watch for a new sense of what you need to focus on – your approach may change or intensify. A conversation may trigger enhanced personal insight.  But it won’t be time to charge ahead just yet. Mercury’s retreat to your hidden sector suggests pulling back to think it through. Perhaps you need to reassess the initial impulse that started you down this path. Pluto Rx also sees you reconsidering issues around travel, education, legal matters or publishing. 

Mars into your sector of personal resources supports Mercury Rx in your hidden sector by giving you a sharper sense of what you need, and what you can release. Your intuition about earned money and personal values will be activated, along with increased initiative to take action- but this will be action that only happens after you thoroughly consider your options. A previous approach/idea may require more energy. Venus/Saturn keeps the pressure on, as you continue to deal with private obligations versus public image (or friendships). The facts around a relationship limit, or lack of money, won’t change. But you can take responsibility for your part in this reality and choose to let go of what’s already ended. 

Gemini

The Sun and Mercury Rx in your hidden sector will open your eyes, but this will happen on an internal level. Confusing issues or frustrating losses can make sense, although the dots will be connected in a non-linear fashion. Go with the gut feeling that tells you this is the truth. Mercury’s return to your social sector can see you revisiting a friendship, group association or public issue. This time, you’ll have added insight, and background facts. Make use of hidden information or your intuition. Pluto Rx may be less obvious, with subtle shifts in an intimate relationship, or your relationship to shared resources (including money). 

Mars into your sign supports Mercury Rx in your social sector, giving you a more upfront approach to people and discussions. There may be one area where you feel confident enough to choose or demand – you can assert yourself, or approach an old issue with decisiveness. Venus/Saturn can close a chapter in a work and/or personal relationship as you acknowledge a conflict in goals or responsibilities. You may feel that your future is currently defined by what you can’t have, but know that you are turning a corner. 

Cancer

The Sun and Mercury Rx in your social sector hi-light a key issue in group dynamics, a friendship or your relationship with the collective. Delays, changes in plans or reconnecting with someone from your past can gift you with fresh insight. This can help you uncover something of value in your public relationships. Mercury’s return to your career sector will be the time to apply this knowledge to your professional goals and ambitions. A job search or business can benefit from another try. This time, you’ll have more facts at your disposal. Pluto Rx in your relationship sector intensifies transformations between you and another – your status as partner, or how you approach partnerships in general, is slowly being redefined. This part of the process involves digging more deeply into issues that may be resistant to change. 

Mars into your hidden sector supports Mercury Rx in your career sector, and you may have to back off or slow down to see the full benefits. Direct action will be difficult, so focus on energizing a background/undeveloped project. It’s not quite time to launch, but it is time to prepare. Allowing is key- some results will flow right into your life, but others will continue to elude you. You can’t force anything, so work with what brings you deeper satisfaction. Alone time can be your most productive time. Venus/Saturn can bring the results of your work or struggles to expand. Favourable results involving travel, education, long-distance romance, legal matters, publishing or a distant dream can manifest if you’ve applied yourself diligently. However, the results may not be everything you’ve hoped for. Or, you may discover that this dream is simply not viable. Either way, you’re moving on now.   

Leo

The Sun and Mercury Rx in your career sector suggest a turning point, as you redefine your goals, professional image or connection to someone in authority. A conversation with management, or a professional contact from the past, can open your eyes to what has real value in your career, and what’s keeping you stuck. Delays in a job search or promotion suggest a reassessment is in order. Armed with this knowledge, Mercury Rx’s return to your sector of opportunities can help you get more from issues involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. It may be time to reapply a new idea in a different way, or revisit a previous opportunity. Pluto Rx in your sector of routine works at the ground level by ferreting out any outdated health/work habits that are due for a change. 

Mars into your social sector supports Mercury Rx in your opportunities sector by putting you in touch with a wide variety of folks. New contacts or a new audience can be energized by a return to previous ideals. This time you can grab people’s attention with your renewed faith. Venus/Saturn signals the final limit around a financial or relationship matter. The reminders of what you can’t have, or what you’re missing, have been tough. But you’re approaching the finish line now, and even if you’ve had to accept a loss or humbling moment, you’re clearing away energy-draining distractions. Soon you’ll be free to focus on what has true potential. 

Virgo

The Sun and Mercury Rx in your opportunities sector see you looking carefully at issues involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. If your reach, or your faith, has been cramped, this influence suggests delays can help you reassess your path forward. But before you go any further, Mercury’s retreat to your sector of shared resources asks you to go deeper. You may have to revisit a financial or emotional issue, or perhaps a deeply-rooted fear/insecurity. It may be time for an uncomfortably honest conversation. Pluto Rx in your sector of self-expression urges you to focus on what you really want. This means intensifying your efforts to put your best self out there, to create, or to take your special purpose seriously. 

Mars into your career sector supports Mercury Rx in your sector of shared resources – as you dig deeper or look more closely at the uncomfortable issues, you can energize new career goals/contacts. The courage to put yourself out there while taking an honest inventory of what’s going on behind the scenes is a potent combination. Meanwhile, Venus/Saturn indicates a final challenge in relationships and domestic issues. Dealing with your responsibilities, and saying goodbye to someone (or, to an undermining relationship projection/anxiety) will ultimately be freeing. 

Libra

The Sun and Mercury Rx in your sector of shared resources suggest an intimate conversation or deep realization about finances/relationships. Research or uncomfortable observations may uncover sensitive issues, but you can also be alerted to more resources. Debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances are areas where you could gain clarity, and Mercury Rx’s return to your relationship sector sees you applying this knowledge to issues of balance- who has a greater say in what’s owed or shared? Pluto Rx in your domestic sector suggests delays, or revisions involving relocation, home construction, a home business or family issues. Going back is necessary to ensure that the last traces of the past have been deconstructed. 

Mars into your sector of opportunities supports Mercury Rx in your partnership sector by triggering new ideas and approaches to an old problem. While you may be revisiting an issue, you can source new information, or broaden your perspective – there’s more out there. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you can initiate something hopeful. Venus/Saturn marks the finish line for one portion of a stressful work or health issue. Part of your obligation is almost completed. 

Scorpio

The Sun and Mercury Rx in your relationship sector suggest a key conversation with a partner. You may be revisiting an issue, but what you learn this time will mark a new chapter between you. Commitment, stability and the balance of resources may be themes. Mercury Rx back into your sector of routine indicates a second look at your responsibilities/health/routines, based on what you discussed with your partner. Areas of inequality will be hi-lighted. Pluto Rx in your communication sector can also push you to look back at a major promise or verbal commitment – was it authentic, and are you being listened to? 

Mars into your sector of shared resources supports Mercury Rx in your sector of routine. Shared finances and intimacy will be energized, and conflict may be part of the process. As unacknowledged or repressed issues are churned up, you’ll have the energy and initiative to apply solutions. A lingering block or resentment can finally be addressed. Venus/Saturn symbolizes the final stretch in a frustrating matter involving new romance, children/pregnancy, or creative work. Lack of success, recognition or support has urged you to fall back on your own resources. Any achievement will result from your acceptance of certain limits and responsibilities, and that includes an acceptance that certain things are not meant to be. A partial reward/success is a possibility. 

Sagittarius

The Sun and Mercury Rx in your sector of routine clue you into a solution for an existing problem. Work or health can benefit if you slow down and pay attention to some basic facts that are in front of you. As Mercury Rx backs into your sector of self-expression, you can approach issues involving children, creative work or new romance with a practical eye. Pluto Rx in your sector of personal resources can dig up past issues of dependency, self-esteem or earned money. You’re still redefining what security means to you, while cutting ties with what used to prop you up.

Mars into your relationship sector supports Mercury Rx in your sector of self-expression. An existing relationship can be reinvigorated, or a new attraction may accelerate. The other person may initiate, but this will be based on your willingness to confront an existing issue with passion and fresh perspective. This is the time to shake up your approach to relationships. All one-on-one connections (platonic and romantic) can experience a surge of renewed energy. Reaching out to previous clients/contacts is also supported. Venus square Saturn Rx in your sign suggests the weight of personal/domestic responsibilities is about to shift. By now, you should have a clear understanding of what needs to be done, and what needs to be excised. Family issues, a home business or cosmetic home improvements can be completed, while you draw a line between the past and present.   

Capricorn

The Sun and Mercury Rx in your sector of self-expression suggest new awareness about what you want, or what you’re trying to create. Artistic work, new attractions or issues involving children/pregnancy can benefit from fresh input/conversations that reveal the value of what you desire, and what you’re doing to achieve it. Mercury Rx’s move back into your domestic sector reconnects you with past family issues, or puts current family discussions into fresh context. In order to create something new, you’ll have to approach that old discussion about traditions/inheritance in a new way. Pluto Rx in your sign can help if you’re stuck in old patterns. A longstanding rule is in the process of being broken. 

Mars into your sector of routine supports Mercury Rx in your domestic sector, by gifting you with fresh initiative. There will be new projects to tackle, more work and more responsibilities. But you’ll have the drive to take it all on, and you’ll have access to improvements/solutions that can benefit an existing family issue. A forceful upgrade may be needed, and you’re just the person to deliver it. Venus/Saturn says a painful goodbye/release is almost over. As you’re confronted with one, last memory/discussion, know that today’s limits (including your personal boundaries) are defining your future path. An official document or binding promise may be involved. 

Aquarius

The Sun and Mercury Rx in your domestic sector can reveal new info about a family issue, or family history. Too, you could come to a decision about your home, relocating, or your role in the family. As Mercury Rx returns to your communication sector, this new insight will add fuel to a previous conversation. You can revisit a topic with a deeper understanding of what’s most essential for you. Pluto Rx in your hidden sector may be so subtle that you barely feel it. However, know that a process of behind-the-scenes transformation is intensifying. Pluto Rx may disprove a stubborn illusion – it’s time to break down a false structure that’s been propping you up.

Mars into your sector of self-expression supports Mercury Rx in your communication sector with a surge of confidence. You’ll be ready to initiate, pursue or walk your talk. Whether a new attraction or subject close to your heart has ignited your passion, you’ll want others to know where you stand. Excellent for grabbing attention or making a creative public statement. Venus/Saturn draws a line underneath financial or emotional strain. A shortfall or sense of loneliness may not be completely resolved (you might still have to do without) but the intensity should decrease as you implement coping strategies. Boundaries, especially involving friends or groups, need to be put in place. 

Pisces

The Sun and Mercury Rx in your communication sector suggest you can get more value if you ask again, renegotiate, or reconsider your options. A change in plans can open up fresh potential, and Mercury Rx’s return to your sector of personal resources says these developments can be applied to earned money, sources of income, or your personal values. Taking a second look at what you want, earn or insist on is beneficial. Pluto Rx in your social sector can push you to look behind a social facade or tradition – check out what’s really going in a friendship or group association. 

Mars into your domestic sector supports Mercury Rx in your sector of personal resources. Looking more closely at money or values can help you deal with family disputes, home renovations, a home business or relocation. You may be encouraged to confront domestic clutter that needs to be cleared away. Saturn Rx’s square to Venus in your sign sharply defines an area where you feel less capable, less attractive or less deserving. However, you’re working through this and the end is in sight. While Saturn will still be squaring Chiron in your sign until the end of the month, Venus’ departure from the square suggests part of this issue will no longer be a concern. Don’t worry about achieving some impossible standard of success – attend to your responsibilities and let others worry about the rest.

Overview

The April 10th/11th (depending on time zone) Full Moon in Libra will conjoin Jupiter Rx, oppose Uranus in Aries and square Pluto in Capricorn. Results will be big and unexpected, with shadow issues (power/powerless) working in the background. There can be tremendous gains or losses, depending on which direction the wheel of fortune turns. Much will be out of your control, but there will be things you can control. Stay close to your centre as best you can – pull back on projected expectations, and watch for compulsive reactions. This means your first, instinctive response may not be the best one. The April 14th Sun/Uranus conjunction can extend the impact of the Full Moon.

This Moon makes a tense inconjunct to Mars (action) and Ceres (nurturing) in Taurus. Efforts to nurture/create security or resources may feel more like a fight to maintain stability. The inconjunct demands an adjustment between both energies, so you’ll have to find a compromise between stubborn solidity versus unavoidable changes. 

On April 15th, Venus stations direct in Pisces. She will not quite conjoin Chiron, but the two energies will still mix. Venus’ turn so close to the Wounded Healer suggests a turning point for you, as you confront pain, weakness or fears of being vulnerable. The square to Saturn Rx in Sagittarius will be active until April 27th, so there’s that as well.

The wound may be current, or an echo from the past.  Either way, you’re being urged to deal with it, and the limits (Saturn) around it. Venus direct in Pisces means release – you don’t have to keep reopening the wound. But first, you’ll need to accept some realities. Saturn often means focused effort, so maybe there’s more work for you to do in this area. The work will be concentrated and possibly stressful, but afterwards – breakthrough. 

Aries

The Full Moon in your relationship sector, including the opposition to Uranus in your sign, may see you rapidly turning a corner. A partnership (romantic or professional) can accelerate, bringing inflated reactions, and unexpected results. An ending is possible, and a new chapter (that involves the two of you) will require strenuous compromise. The outcome will depend on how you and your partner handle your need for change and challenge. The inconjunct to Mars/Ceres in your sector of personal resources suggests a struggle for financial security, independence or values will add tension. What you’ve been trying to nurture for yourself may challenge what your partner needs, but both sides must be considered.

Venus direct and Chiron in your hidden sector add to the forward momentum. On a deeper level, you’ll have internalized the Full Moon’s message – you’ll be ready to let go of what hurts, and what no longer has value, while looking forward to something that makes you feel good about who you are in the present. 

Taurus

The Full Moon in your hidden sector can trip a background trigger that urges you to step up to the plate. Undermining habits, fear of change, or refusal to do what you know is in your best interests will be themes. A spotlight shining on what you’d rather ignore can be uncomfortable, but discomfort is necessary to get you moving. The inconjunct to Mars/Ceres in your sign indicates tension between changinghealth/work habits (and obligations to others) versus your drive to look after yourself. Know that self-nurturing cannot be achieved without a necessary adjustment in obligations. Diet may be a key issue.

Venus direct and Chiron in your social sector point to a significant friendship. Old issues of wounding/vulnerability may be addressed, and then released, as you forge a stronger relationship based on shared empathy. Too, there may be a bittersweet goodbye, based on the acceptance that platonic to romantic (or vice versa) isn’t working. For some, your public profile can increase, or you could meet someone who will play the role of healer or teacher in your life. 

Gemini

The Full Moon in your sector of self-expression can indicate more attraction/attention, but also more jealousy and compulsive behaviour. A new romance, creative work, or issues involving children/pregnancy can trigger unexpected (and public) results – you may not be totally comfortable with the outcome. Perhaps what you thought you wanted ends up being too much of a good thing. If you’re seeking attention, you will get it, along with unanticipated reactions. The shadow side of what you want will be in full view. The inconjunct to Mars/Ceres in your hidden sector can stir up unacknowledged issues about parents, or fears of loss.

Venus direct and Chiron in your career sector can conclude a difficult work relationship. Vulnerabilities may be exposed, but at the same time, you’ll be able to confront your greatest fear. Your professional image could receive an uncomfortable but necessary change – it may be time to promote yourself with a different view to success. 

Cancer

The Full Moon in your domestic sector can expand things significantly, in the areas of family, new family members, relocation, a home business or home renovation. Domestic partnerships can experience a sudden shift in power. Your security may be temporarily rocked, even if the outcome is good. Insecurity is a natural reaction to change – give events time to rebalance, and try to avoid power struggles with another person. You may have to let go of certain requirements, in order to make room for something better. The inconjunct to Mars/Ceres in your social sector suggests a friendship, social goal or group dynamic may contribute tension, as you attempt to juggle private and public issues. Personal security will have to be adjusted with something public/professional that you’ve been nurturing. 

Venus direct and Chiron in your sector of opportunities can help you come to terms with doubts about the future. The big unknown, or the hope that hasn’t been explored, is not out of reach. Doubts are a natural part of the process, as is the realization that something may not be available. But that does mean better things are available. Long-distance travel, long-distance romance, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you may confront a sore spot, and successfully move on.  In some cases, a significant (fated) relationship could open up a major new chapter in your life. 

Leo

The Full Moon in your communication sector can present a galvanizing announcement, conversation or answer. Big, surprising news could be featured, with a side of extra pressure involving work or health. You may find it difficult to respond in a calm, rational manner – count to three before you answer. This could be a positive result, but the intensity of what you were hoping for will catch you off guard. The inconjunct to Mars/Ceres in your career sector suggests conflict with an important goal,  or your relationship with management. Keep your eye on what you’re trying to nurture in your professional life, but know that you’ll be expected to make some compromises. 

Venus direct and Chiron in your sector of shared resources can confront you with painfulsensitivities about money or relationships. You’re being asked to develop an attitude of acceptance around giving up control or getting close. An ending may hit you hard, especially if you feel helpless to do anything about it. Too, an intense exploration of where you’re most vulnerable can bring you and someone special closer – but you have to be prepared to go there. 

Virgo

The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources can present an opportunity to increase your financial or emotional security. A big win or new source of income are possibilities, with your emerging sense of passion as the driver. Yes, you do deserve more – use your creative or romantic power. But be wary of expecting that someone else gives you everything you want. If you push too hard, you’ll trigger the reverse of what you’re hoping for. You get what you set yourself up to receive, not what you demand someone else gives you. The inconjunct to Mars/Ceres in your sector of opportunities can raise questions about future goals or distant plans. Expansion may not be in line with immediate security, but you don’t have to destabilize yourself to reach further. Aim for a compromise between the two – gradual expansion balanced with your comfort zone.

Venus direct and Chiron in your relationship sector can signal a crucial turning point in a partnership. An honest view of your hurts, and what you project onto your partner, may be called for. An ending is essential to heal patterns of victimization or martyrdom. Too, you and a partner can reach new levels of trust, if you’re both willing to look at your wounds. 

Libra

The Full Moon and Jupiter Rx in your sign can speed up the inevitable with another person. A relationship (platonic or romantic) can change tracks unexpectedly. This is a culmination, so it’s been building for a while. Too, you may see a dramatic payoff for your efforts to change things up in your public identity/lifestyle. Pressure in your domestic life may be involved. What you’re striving for will have a shadow side: old jealousies, insecurities or past-based power dynamics can muddy the waters. Be clear on what you’re striving for. The inconjunct to Mars/Ceres in your sector of shared resources adds another layer of shadow, involving tension around what you’re trying to build with another, or financial insecurities. Once again, you’re being called on to compromise, although it may feel unfair. 

Venus direct and Chiron in your sector of routine hi-light a health or work area that needs improvement. Lack of boundaries/focus may undermine your self-esteem and relationships. Here’s your chance to let go of unhealthy habits, such as sacrifice (or slavery) to another. Too, you may need to confront a personal obligation involving work or health. Have you been doing what you need to do? Avoidance of responsibilities can also erode your self-esteem. 

Scorpio

The Full Moon in your hidden sector can unveil a surprise that disrupts your routine or obligations. A plus could bring far more than anticipated, or a challenge could come out of nowhere. What you learn could pressure you to react/reveal – you may not be ready to go public, just yet. The inconjunct to Mars/Ceres in your relationship sector suggests a partner’s attempts to look after their needs will also have to be taken into consideration. 

Venus direct and Chiron in your sector of self-expression hi-lights the discrepancy between what you desire versus where you feel inadequate or ignored. A relationship or creative issue could hit a turning point, as you confront a wound – love, attraction or a bid for success will increase your vulnerability, but this is part of the deal when you put yourself out there. Is the risk worth it? These influences will answer that question. 

Sagittarius

The Full Moon in your social sector suggests a very public outcome, involving friends, group dynamics or your public image. There may be a sudden switch in relationship dynamics, or in the attention you expected to receive. There can be an opportunity to promote your business, or kick back with others and enjoy yourself. However, watch out for financial pressure or feelings of jealousy/insecurity – your balance may be thrown off by hard-to-resist compulsions. Too, others may project their issues onto you – if you feel judged or attacked, try to avoid knee-jerk reactions. The inconjunct to Mars/Ceres in your sector of routine suggests public events will have to be adjusted with health or work issues. 

Venus direct and Chiron in your domestic sector can push you past a childhood/family wound. Lingering vulnerabilities, or feelings of being the family scapegoat, can be addressed with compassion. Forgiving yourself or a family member will be part of your healing, as love is mixed with acceptance. You can’t change what happened, or your overall family dynamics, but you can refuse to carry the unhappiness of others. 

Capricorn

The Full Moon in your career sector (square Pluto in your sign) can present unexpected results from a job search, interview, discussion with management or efforts in your current job. What you thought you wanted may turn out to be something completely different. Too, you could discover that a certain goal means far more to you than you anticipated. Your efforts to move forward and succeed will be the main drivers here, but it’s possible that you underestimate the impact you have. You don’t need to push as hard as you think you do – others (especially those in authority) may feel threatened. The inconjunct to Mars/Ceres in your sector of self-expression suggests tension between career goals versus personal expression, or family (children, in particular). Both sides must be acknowledged and honoured, and the solution is to moderate your focus. It does not have to be all of one at the expense of the other. 

Venus direct and Chiron in your communication sector hi-light a sensitive conversation or realization. Going back to an old hurt, or revisiting a painful discussion, can ultimately open you up to more love, compassion and understanding. An apology can still be effective, even if it’s been delayed.

Aquarius

The Full Moon in your opportunities sector presents a culmination involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. This could be a big leap forward, as you enter uncharted territory. Or, you could be pushed further than you’re comfortable with. There could be significant gains as well; more to learn, discover and experience. This could be the next stage of your education, in a formal or informal sense. The element of chance will be active – you could learn/discover far more than you set out to. The inconjunct to Mars/Ceres in your domestic sector illuminates a disconnect between home/family versus new horizons. As you pull further away from where you started, you may feel a sense of insecurity or guilt about what you’re leaving behind. Don’t forget to keep nurturing your foundation, even as your journey continues.

Venus direct and Chiron in your sector of personal resources can present a turning point around finances, self-esteem or values. This could be your moment of acceptance, as you deal with your greatest security fears – not having enough, never having enough, not being good enough. A financial opportunity could turn out to be a mixed blessing, or perhaps not right for you at all. Then again, you could find if you let go of old habits regarding what you must have (or what you deserve) something new and wonderfully satisfying opens up. 

Pisces

The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources can shine a light on some uncomfortable issues. Debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy may be shaken and stirred, as you suddenly gain or lose ground. Progress can push you deeper (or closer to someone) than you anticipated. Too, a sudden loss can shake your security. The inconjunct to Mars/Ceres in your communication sector suggests ideas of what you need/what’s best, will be out of synch with what you’re working with. Someone else may not be agreeable to your terms. Compromise will not be easy, but it’s a possibility. 

Venus direct and Chiron in your sign say that this is the time to wrap up a lingering wound connected to relationships, self-esteem, financial security or self-image. Whether you’ve been revisiting a specific person, or an old feeling, consider where you feel most vulnerable/exposed/unworthy. Now, consider how you can change your approach in the future so those same issues don’t undermine you. Starting now, you’re going to approach things differently.

Overview

Saturn in Sagittarius stations retrograde on April 6th. Focus is readjusted, or you may return to a previous goal. Saturn Rx can give some of you a reprieve, as it backs away from hard aspects to your planets. Here’s your temporary time out. For others, Saturn Rx will reconnect you with a previous responsibility or burden – will you drop it, or finish your work?

On April 7th, the Aries Sun opposes Jupiter Rx, then goes on to square Pluto (on April 8th). “Big potential” is the theme here, and it’s pumped up by Pluto’s discordant push for power. Much can be accomplished, as long as you don’t swing too far in one direction. Saturn Rx square Venus Rx in Pisces (also on April 8th) will keep you in check. Two Rx planets in a square aspect point to crisis from the past. Saturn will define relationship/financial/self-esteem issues, and you’ll probably be confronted with unpleasant limits. This could be the reality check you’ve been avoiding.

Venus will be within one degree of Chiron, so the Wounded Healer’s energy will be part of this. A hurtful ending can also be freeing, as you finally shut that door. Or, this could be the final push that gets you past a painful block, and back into the flow. 

Mercury stations Rx in Taurus on April 9th, asking you to revise, correct or think again. What’s valuable versus what’s stagnating will be a theme. Delays and changes of opinion are likely, and you simply won’t be able to rush anything. Especially with three retrograde planets. This week is about taking a step back, taking stock and cleaning up the leftovers.

Aries

Saturn Rx in your sector of opportunities puts you in review mode for an educational, travel or legal issue. Delays/returns will intensify limits. You’ll be pushed to complete a course of study, question the rules or adjust your travel plans. In some cases, an issue that’s been dragging on can finally be resolved. As Saturn squares Venus Rx/Chiron in your hidden sector, there may be an ending to something you wanted/loved in the past.  It may be painful in the moment, but you should also feel relief as you close a door on what was.

Aspects to the Sun in your sign can boost your courage and optimism. It’s full steam ahead, as you rise to the challenge from competitors, gain power at work, or push for more (autonomy, attention, success). However, keep in mind that it will be easy to push the limits and go too far – consider the balance between you and another. 

Mercury Rx in your sector of personal resources can bring delays in financial discussions, or revisions around how much you’re earning. A second look at bottom-line emotional requirements is also a possibility. Mercury Rx helps you articulate what has maximum value for you. 

Taurus

Saturn Rx in your sector of shared resources suggests a closer look at debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances. Overspending or financial negligence could deliver unpleasant results. But in some cases, you may receive a temporary reprieve on what’s owed. Physical/emotional intimacy could demand intensified boundaries, as you’re confronted by the limits of how much you or your partner are willing to give. As Saturn squares Venus Rx/Chiron in your social sector, public relationships (platonic or romantic) will be strongly defined when you revisit a key issue from the past. An ending is possible, if the relationship has run its course – this will be due to your deepening awareness of your own strengths and limits.  

Aspects to the Sun in your hidden sector can stir up restless energy, but there will be limits on what you can do with it. Watch for a building sense of pressure, or desire for release, as you explore new opportunities and overhaul your daily routine. However, it may not be appropriate (yet) to take direct action – loose ends need to be tied up. 

Mercury Rx in your sign adds to the above limits. New plans/information may result in more questions than answers. Delays or changes in facts may be frustrating, but use the time to reconsider your options. Is this really what you want? Do you have all the information? You may not be quite as prepared as you thought. In some cases, a contact from the past can be quite valuable. 

Gemini

Saturn Rx in your relationship sector suggests a review of mutual goals and commitments. Partnership rules may be questioned or revised. Too, one partner may have second thoughts about the commitment in general. Saturn square Venus Rx/Chiron in your career sector suggests added pressure around future goals, a professional relationship or your professional image. This could be about defining what you really want, in your personal and business life. Limits around what you’re striving for will also be hi-lighted – relationships with those in authority will be tense, as you adjust to shifting rules. 

Aspects to the Sun in your social sector can indicate a public success, big launch/promotion or exciting new group dynamic. However, unacknowledged anxiety or power struggles can trigger surprising results. Watch for volatile reactions from others, and be cautious that you don’t overstep personal and professional limits. 

Mercury Rx in your hidden sector suggests a background issue that calls for deeper consideration. This could be something that you haven’t shared with anyone, but you need to weigh all the pros and cons before you make a decision. Take your time – more information will emerge gradually.

Cancer

Saturn Rx in your sector of routine calls for the fine-tuning of work tasks, health, diet or exercise. You’re in the process of making improvements and narrowing your focus, but you may have to go back a few steps to make corrections. In some cases, your workload could become heavier. Saturn’s square to Venus Rx/Chiron in your sector of opportunities suggests there’s more excess to cut out, before you can move forward. A distant opportunity (involving travel, long-distance romance, education, legal matters or publishing) asks that you acknowledge certain restrictions/obligations, be they health or work related. You may need to tighten up your work habits, or get real about where you can and can’t venture. The distant dream that you’ve been hoping for may not be possible, but there is much to work with in front of you. 

Aspects to the Sun in your career sector suggest the desire to reach for something big. A promotion, new job, or expansion of your business is pushing you to achieve. Or, someone else may be pushing you. Watch for power imbalances, especially when dealing with those in authority. Also, consider any power issues that you might be projecting – what’s your real motivation?

Mercury Rx in your social sector signals the review of a friendship, group association or your relationship with the public. Asking questions/returning to a previous conversation will enable you to discern what information (or who) has real value. In some cases, there may be delays with public launches or plans.  

Leo

Saturn Rx in your sector of self-expression can confirm a creative project or new romance, by defining commitment/structure. On the other hand, Saturn can remind you that more effort is required to get what you want – delays are part of the process that ensure you’re getting the real deal. If you’re feeling blocked or denied, know that you can’t force someone’s appreciation or attraction. Some things have to be earned, while others things are simply not meant for you. Saturn’s square to Venus Rx/Chiron in your sector of shared resources will underline a financial or intimacy issue that needs to be sorted (or ended) before you see any progress. A deeper look at what’s available (emotionally or financially) could reveal a difficult truth. 

Aspects to the Sun in your sector of opportunities will pump up your adventurous spirit, or your urge to pursue a cause/ideal. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing may be energized, along with your expectations of more. However, pay attention to boundaries (external and internal). Massive growth may be your goal, but you’re actually being asked to step back and narrow your focus to one area. 

Mercury Rx in your career sector can trigger revised conversations with management, or second thoughts about your job, career path or professional image. Measure your words very carefully – the impact on your reputation will be significant. A previous job opportunity could have some value. 

Virgo

Saturn Rx in your domestic sector can increase home/family obligations, or trigger revisions/delays around a relocation, home business or home construction. As you dig deeper into your literal or metaphorical foundation, consider where your responsibilities lie. Saturn’s square to Venus Rx/Chiron in your partnership sector suggests some stress around joint domestic goals, or old relationship habits. You’re being asked to look at what was, because the past is infusing the present. A previous relationship issue that wasn’t dealt with will be clarified. Endings are a possibility, and you’ll find the release is unavoidable. “Goodbye” can involve the relationship itself, or your projections/expectations that have been undermining your security. Is it time to get real and work with the partnership that’s right in front of you? 

Aspects to the Sun in your sector of shared resources can reveal financial or emotional growth opportunities. This is likely to involve your sense of freedom, security or confidence. You may have more available to you than you thought, and someone else can illuminate this fact. However, overspending, overindulging or pushing someone else’s limits are also a risk. Watch your demands, especially in a relationship context. Are you expecting someone to deliver what you could supply for yourself? If you ask for too much, you’ll be reminded of your limits and their boundaries. 

Mercury Rx in your sector of opportunities can bring second thoughts around travel, education, legal matters or publishing. A new development hasn’t been shut down, but more investigation or discussion is needed. 

Libra

Saturn Rx in your communication sector puts the story on rewind. A decision, discussion or commitment may be up for review or delays, as the rules are questioned. Too, you may need to emphasize your boundaries by bringing them up again. Saturn’s square to Venus Rx/Chiron in your sector of routine zeros in on a health/work issue or obligation. You may be confronted with a duty you’ve been avoiding, or limits on how much you can do for someone else. What value is being placed on your services? Health issues may also require your full attention. 

Aspects to the Sun in your relationship sector (including the opposition to Jupiter Rx in your sign) suggest that you will feel pressured by someone else. A one-on-one connection (platonic or romantic) could expand dramatically, but you’ll also be struggling to maintain your boundaries. If you’re the one who’s pushing for more, know that you’ll probably get some of what you want, but one area will cause frustration (when you’re denied). 

Mercury Rx in your sector of shared resources brings up questions about debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or physical/emotional intimacy. Looking deeper will be a slow, uncomfortable process, but you can also uncover valuable information if you go beyond the basic facts. 

Scorpio

Saturn Rx in your sector of personal resources asks you to concentrate more fully on financial or emotional boundaries. While you’ve had your share of limits, denial and extra work, Saturn Rx insists that you revisit a budget, spending or self-esteem issue. Saturn’s square to Venus Rx/Chiron in your sector of self-expression clarifies things even further, with limits around what you want. A new romance or creative project will be delayed, or shut down. However, in some cases, this can be the creative breakthrough you’ve been struggling for. Your efforts and discipline will be rewarded. 

Aspects to the Sun in your sector of routine can present surprising solutions, work arounds or success in your efforts to upgrade. However, there may also be tremendous pressure to meet a deadline, or take on extra work. In order to succeed in one area, you may have to sacrifice something else. 

Mercury Rx in your relationship sector can turn your thoughts to a past love, or rewind a discussion with a current partner. A change of heart, or questions about a commitment, will draw your attention to the stability and long-term potential of this union. Thoughts or connections to the past can be used to compare old relationship values to your present state. 

Sagittarius

Saturn Rx in your sign can emphasize an obligation (that you thought was finished) or see you questioning current responsibilities. Saturn’s square to Venus Rx/Chiron in your domestic sector will hi-light a specific problem: family, a domestic relationship, or issues with your physical home. The value of what you’ve been doing, or what your partner has been contributing, may be up for review. Too, old issues around not feeling loved/appreciated (in spite of all your hard work) may come up again. The purpose of the review is not to get stuck in the same old patterns, but to end that dynamic and move on. 

Aspects to the Sun in your sector of self-expression can boost your confidence, charisma and desire to treat yourself. You may feel that you deserve more than you’re getting, and you can certainly receive significant attention for your creative or romantic efforts. But watch for impulses to overspend, overindulge or rebel against obligations.  This is not the best time to cut loose. 

Mercury Rx in your sector of routine suggests second thoughts about a diagnosis, upgrade or work task. The initial plan may not be delivering required results, so be prepared for some revisions. Health, diet and exercise may need more intensive study. 

Capricorn

Saturn Rx in your hidden sector suggests more work is needed on closing a chapter. The ending of a relationship, career or part of your identity has been a long, slow process. Saturn is approaching your sign (Capricorn ingress will take place this December) and that will be a whole new you. You’re in the last stages now, and Saturn’s square to Venus Rx/Chiron in your communication sector can hi-light a conversation/answer/document that must be revisited. The result will most likely be “no” or “not yet” and that may not be a bad thing. Saturn/Venus/Chiron will define a sensitive issue – you’ll know exactly where you stand.

Aspects to the Sun in your domestic sector (including the square to Pluto in your sign) infuse home and family issues with potential. A relocation, construction project, home business or change in domestic relationships can feature big gains, and big pressure. Much of that pressure may come from you – perhaps you’re drive by a vision of what must happen. Know that you can only push things so far, and you will be confronted by limits around what you can accomplish. Take it slow, and be grateful for how far you’ve come. 

Mercury Rx in your sector of self-expression asks for a second look at a new romance, creative project, or issues involving children/pregnancy. The initial decision may change – you could change your mind, or someone else may back off. Let the process play out – the final answer won’t happen until Mercury stations direct. In the meantime, use the pause to look carefully at the value of what you want. Does it meet your standards? Are you ready to commit all your energy to this?

Aquarius

Saturn Rx in your social sector asks you to reevaluate a friendship, your group connections or social goals/image. What you thought was absolute may require more focus. Social rules and norms may be up for questioning, as you decide where you belong. Saturn’s square to Venus Rx/Chiron in your sector of personal resources clarifies exactly what you have (financially and emotionally) and what you can’t keep. Limits or loss will be reality asserting itself (or reasserting itself, if you’ve wandered off track). Something/someone that you used to value could be revealed as fake. But if you’ve been struggling to carve out space for new values, this aspect could be your breakthrough, as you give up something to achieve happiness. 

Aspects to the Sun in your communication sector can pump up your hopes, with a promise, announcement or exciting discussion. Education, publishing or legal matters can deliver significant results. However, all potentials may not come through in the way you’d hoped. Disappointment is a sign that expectations need to be be adjusted. Too, there can be pressure deliver more than you’re able to – it’s up to you to say “no.”

Mercury Rx in your domestic sector can see you revisiting past family discussions, or taking a second look at relocation, a home business, or a home renovation project. Now is not the time for final decisions – give yourself space to think, and don’t expect answers to arrive quickly. Instead, try focusing on your bottom-line requirements for safety, security and happiness. Then, see if emerging information lines up with these requirements. 

Pisces

Saturn Rx in your career sector can raise questions about a future goal, your authority on the job, a new job or career path. You may need to revisit some career responsibilities, or you may be questioning your current responsibilities. Saturn square Venus Rx in your sign (with Chiron close by) will define exactly what you can and can’t do. Your professional image may be impacted. There may be feelings of insecurity or helplessness- allow yourself to experience them, but know they are temporary. This does not define your entire future, only a final piece of unfinished business. 

Aspects to the Sun in your sector of personal resources can increase your desire to spend, comfort yourself, or pursue a new source of abundance (financial or emotional). Your ambitions can bring some desired results, but you’ll also be confronted by challenges to your authority, or from others in authority. In some cases, the more you spend or strive, the more limits you’ll encounter. 

Mercury Rx in your sector of communication can see you changing your mind or reevaluating your choices. The answer is not final, because there’s more to consider. A new opportunity may require more thought, and in some cases, a past contact may reappear. It might be worth your while to ask again, or rephrase the question.

Overview

March 27th’s New Moon in Aries can deliver the fresh start that the Sun/Venus Rx conjunction promised. Venus Rx will be cozied up to this Moon, so watch for sweet, vibrant possibilities – this one is about standing up for what you love, or would love to have. While events will be crackling with new energy, Venus is still Rx. And Venus will back into Pisces on April 2nd – before you can keep moving forward, you’ll have to dive into the past to heal, release or forgive. 

March 30th brings the second of three Jupiter/Pluto squares. Jupiter Rx in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn, intensifying optimism and expanding power. Any combo of Jupiter/Pluto can spell success, but the square brings challenges around unbalanced power, fanaticism or extreme ideals.

March 31st offers a grounding influence, which may counterbalance Jupiter/Pluto’s extremes. Mercury enters Taurus, and communication becomes firmly entrenched in the immediate basics. Mercury in Taurus asks what you can realistically build with this information, right now. But Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, so ideas can also be inflexible. Mercury will station Rx on April 9th –  get ready for more questions and delays. 

Aries

The New Moon in your sign continues what Venus Rx has been stirring up. Now that you have a sense of what’s most valuable, you can progress. Relationships, public identity, or lifestyle are areas where you can advance on your terms. However, Venus Rx’s retreat into your hidden sector says the revaluation isn’t over. Some developments may be put on hold, or require deeper consideration. If something doesn’t feel quite right, there’s no need to rush. Sit with what’s happening – more information will come to light. Maybe there’s one more piece of the past that you have to release.

The Jupiter/Pluto square may be felt as an expansion of power/success, or intensified competition. Your confidence can increase, but there’s a risk of pushing someone too far, or getting carried away with your power. An imbalance between you another may reach a crisis point. Mercury’s move into your sector of personal resources can stabilize you with reminders of immediate necessities, on a financial or emotional level. 

Taurus

The New Moon in your hidden sector can trigger the urge to act on a background potential. Maybe it feels like now’s the time to get started or go public – but is it? Venus Rx’s move back into your social sector suggests that a friend/associate may have more to reveal. Revisiting social connections or group dynamics may be necessary. You’ve definitely started a new chapter, but there’s more work to be done behind the scenes. The “done deal” may not be as straightforward as you thought.

The Jupiter/Pluto square can intensify pressure to make changes in your daily environment, work or health regime. You may be bursting with initiative (or extra work) but try to moderate your pace. Overwork, injury or burnout are possibilities if you take on too much. You’ve got the power to make significant improvements, but not if you push yourself beyond what you’re capable of. Mercury’s move into your sign can add to your motivation, as you’re gifted with information and intent that enables you to lay down concrete plans. Be smart about it by taking things one step at a time. 

Gemini

The New Moon in your social sector can accelerate group dynamics, a new friendship, or changes you’ve made to your public image. Any changes will be based on new values, or a revised approach to relationships. For some, a public launch will be based on a past issue. As Venus Rx backs into your career sector, watch for unfinished business involving a work relationship, your professional image, or a previous job opportunity. 

The Jupiter/Pluto square suggests a big push involving new romance/attraction, performance or play. You’ll want something quite intensely, whether that’s attention, or freedom to indulge. Success is a strong possibility – your confidence and exuberance will be the drivers. But watch out for deeper issues of jealousy or control – you can easily come on too strong, or indulge/spend too much. Mercury’s move into your hidden sector draws your attention to behind-the-scenes players. Hints, suspicions or unverified information will become increasingly important.

Cancer

The New Moon in your career sector can introduce a hopeful new chapter regarding your future path, current job or home business. Fresh ambition and investment in your work can reinvigorate you, and Venus Rx’s return to your sector of opportunities suggests there’s more to explore. A second look at education, travel, long-distance issues, legal matters or publishing can reveal something lucrative. 

The Jupiter/Pluto square can bring challenge and opportunity into your personal life. Growth and change in a relationship, family situation or home business may feel overwhelming. But, there’s also potential to make a huge leap in the right direction. Success will be dependent on your willingness to break with old traditions. You can bringabundance into your home and love life. Possible downsides include imbalances between you and a domestic partner – if one person wants more, or has more power, this will be the moment to address and correct. Mercury’s move into your social sector suggests lucrative new contacts/clients. Reliable information from friends/acquaintances is also indicated. 

Leo

The New Moon in your sector of opportunities urges you to broaden your horizons. Long-distance travel, long-distance romance, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you may feel the urge to take a risk. Even though Venus Rx points to a reevaluation or reconnection, there’s still something fresh about this. As Venus Rx backs into your sector of shared resources, you’ll be taking that reevaluation to a deeper level. Moving forward may prompt a closer look at intimacy or shared finances – are you prepared to fully commit yourself to this new development? Or are there adjustments that need to be made, regarding what you can give (or receive)?

The Jupiter/Pluto square can signal bold hopes. Big plans may be launched, or an exciting conversation may pump up your enthusiasm for a solution. You’ve certainly got some powerful information to work with, but the pressure to succeed, or believe what someone else is promising, may be intense. Don’t promise more than you can realistically deliver, and remember that it’s ok to say “no” if someone is pressuring you. On the other hand, if a fix/improvement feels doable, go for it – you can make some powerful, positive changes, and convince others that you’ve got what it takes. Mercury’s move into your career sector can help, as it energizes structured information and steady conversations with management. 

Virgo

The New Moon in your sector of shared resources flips a switch on money or intimacy matters. It may be time fully commit, with all the passion and trust that demands. Or, you may need to adjust how much you’ve been sharing with someone. Financial opportunities will be dependent on your ability to fully and honestly explore what you would love to have/develop. What’s holding you back? Venus Rx’s return to your relationship sector draws your attention to a key partnership issue, or past love interest. As you move towards a more profound, fearless investment in yourself/your relationship, watch for a reminder of what needs to be released. 

The Jupiter/Pluto square can bring a dramatic change in income. More is certainly a possibility, and your push to express your creativity/talents will be the trigger. But there’s also potential for massive overspending, if you feel you’re not getting what you deserve, and you attempt to fill that void. If Jupiter has not lived up to his promise, consider what changes need to be made to your emotional and financial must-haves. Mercury into your sector of opportunities can give you some solid leads on new strategies/plans, or on how reach a wider audience. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing can see more activity. 

Libra

The New Moon in your partnership sector can trigger a fresh approach to relationships. Whether you’re single or involved, this Moon will continue/intensify Venus Rx’s reviews. That means an adjustment to the value you’ve been placing on yourself versus others. Venus Rx’s return to your sector of routine can hi-light old habits of service in a relationship. How much you’ve sacrificed for someone can be a timely reminder about what needs to change. 

Jupiter Rx in your sign squares Pluto in your domestic sector. A relocation, home business or change in your family situation can result in significant growth. Your power and hope for the future can increase, but watch for power struggles (especially with family members) that may pressure you to conform to certain ideals. Mercury’s move into your sector of shared resources suggests strategic discussions about debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Practical details and bottom-line issues of survival will be the themes of even the most intimate conversations. 

Scorpio

The New Moon in your sector of routine can bring a new job, new approach to work tasks, or new diet/exercise regime. Any changes will be based on adjustments to what needs to be done – obligations to yourself and others can benefit from your initiative to make the best possible upgrades. Venus Rx’s move back into your sector of self-expression can see you taking another look at a new romance, creative project, or issue involving children/pregnancy. 

The Jupiter/Pluto square might stir up some bold announcements or an unexpected change of plans. A sudden answer/decision will be uncompromising, and will seem to come out of nowhere. In reality, a larger issue that you’re not fully aware of (or that you’re hiding) will drive things. There may be a sense of optimism that you can’t prove. Watch for last-minute breakthroughs or assistance. Mercury’s move into your partnership sector encourages calm exchanges of information. This is a good influence for one-on-one discussions about what really matters, but stubborn insistence on certain ideas may be a drawback – stick to the basics and focus on the present.

Sagittarius

The New Moon in your sector of self-expression can bring something electric, romantic or inspirational across your path. You may feel like flaunting what you’ve got, taking a risk or going public with your talents. This is your moment to shine and express intensified joy in what life’s brought you. Children/pregnancy can be key reasons to celebrate. But even as you step out, Venus Rx’s return to your domestic sector continues the review- you may take a second look at home/family issues, or a domestic partnership. 

The Jupiter/Pluto square suggests a launch or announcement that boosts your public profile. The impact on others will be significant, and your influence can expand. Too, hopes/ideals about a friendship or group may be challenged. Fortunately, you’ll have the motivation to rebalance the situation in your favour. Mercury into your sector of routine grounds you with immediate necessities – health, work and obligations will take precedence, along with simple plans and fixes. Forget about elaborate solutions: stick with what you know.  

Capricorn

The New Moon in your domestic sector reboots a family issue or home business. It’s time for some spring cleaning, as you clear out what no longer makes you happy/fulfilled, and make room for something better. This is an acceleration, so you can make progress. Watch for improvement with issues involving relocation, home decorating or a domestic relationship. As Venus Rx backs into your communication sector, you’ll be revisiting previous discussions/ideas. Issues with siblings may be up for review. 

Jupiter Rx in your career sector, square Pluto in your sign, suggests gain in the areas of work, professional image, job satisfaction or your relationship with management. If you’ve been pushing for change (a new job, promotion or business expansion) you could get what you want. However, you may also find yourself challenged by the beliefs of those in authority. Or, your personal beliefs about success/status may be challenged, even in the midst of great achievement. Mercury’s move into your sector of self-expression encourages you to communicate proven intentions/talents. This can be a confidence -boosting influence, with solid conversations/ideas that confirm what you’re hoping for. Creative projects (especially writing), celebrations, new romance or issues around children/pregnancy are favoured. 

Aquarius

The New Moon in your communication sector can inspire fresh ideas, or an assertive declaration. A conversation/email/phone call could deliver good news that reignites your passion for something (or someone). Venus Rx’s return to your sector of personal resources suggests you may revisit a previous financial issue/source of income. Or, you may reconsider your bottom-line needs for love and happiness. 

The Jupiter/Pluto square suggests you’ll be revisiting opportunities around travel, education, legal matters or publishing. You may dig deeper into what you’re exploring/learning, to extract maximum value. Or, you may push the limits of a key belief byintensifying your commitment to it. Success is a possibility if you’re ready to leap beyond your comfort zone, but watch for judgemental or extreme reactions from others. Mercury’s move into your domestic sector focuses you on the practical issues around home, domestic comforts and family necessities. Sibling conversations are emphasized. 

Pisces

The New Moon in your sector of personal resources can introduce something of great value. Finances can see improvement, along with your dedication to personal security and self-esteem. This is less about compromise and more about you asserting your values and desires. Venus Rx’s return to your sign indicates that second chances (involving romance, lifestyle changes or work) can benefit you.

The Jupiter/Pluto square can increase debts/expenses, or see you diving into an emotional or financial investment. In some cases, giving more can result in biggergains. But watch your boundaries – the urgency you feel may cause you to override self-protective instincts. If you uncomfortable or pressured, take time to pause and evaluate. Mercury’s entrance into your communication sector can help, with the formulation of a solid plan or response. Pay attention to the literal facts – what do you see in front of you?

Overview

This week is all about fresh starts. 

March 20th brings the Sun’s Aries ingress, and the Spring Equinox. The blood flows a bit faster as fresh possibilities emerge. And the vibe is kicked up a notch due to a last quarter square between the Capricorn Moon and Aries Sun. Tension between old and new adds urgency – the push to move forward will be irresistible. 

On March 23rd, Mercury in Aries squares Pluto, then opposes Jupiter Rx on March 24th. Ideas/communication will be confrontational and enthusiastic. The conjunction between Mercury and Uranus (March 26th) tops it off with a clarifying burst of truth. What must be said or understood will come out, no matter what. Jupiter in the mix can emphasize lucky breaks or words that are out of control (maybe both). 

March 25th is the midpoint of Venus’ Rx transit. The Sun conjoins Venus, spotlighting a key issue of desire or value. What do you truly want? What makes you happy? These are basic questions, but the subject matter is often invalidated. Sun/Venus Rx won’t let you ignore a primal source of joy or self-esteem. And it may have nothing to do with what your heart’s currently set on. 

This will be a new beginning, directly connected to the Aries New Moon on March 27th. 

Aries

This spring is all about you. The Sun into your sign, and Venus Rx, can see you feeling fresh, motivated and ready for something exciting. A new phase for love, money and self-esteem has begun – a relationship or financial issue could reach a turning point, as you decide to invest more heavily in yourself.

Taurus

This new cycle may not be obvious, but there are significant shifts in your approach to something you want. You may decide that you’re tired of hiding. Or, you may start working on a background, creative project. In some cases, it may be time to let go of a desire that’s just not happening. Kick off some deep spring cleaning and get yourself ready for a more satisfying chapter. 

Aspects to Mercury in your hidden sector suggest disruptive/surprising information that rips back the curtain on what you’ve been avoiding. Watch for a flash of clarity, intuition or truth. A secret could blow up when you least expect it – total honesty is your best response.

Gemini

The Sun into your social sector, and Venus Rx, hi-light a new social opportunity. Your social image, place in the group, or connection with a friend, are ripe for an overhaul. It may be time to reconsider how you’re presenting yourself, or if others value you. In some cases, this can mark an intensified push for public recognition, or the appearance of a significant relationship (romantic or platonic). 

Aspects to Mercury in your social sector suggest a public discussion or announcement that brings buried issues to light. The response from others could be surprising, or you may be caught off guard by the speed at which things develop. Too, discussions with a friend or colleague could rapidly expand beyond the original topic, as issues of control, resentment, or buried fears are stirred up. If you’re attempting to deliver your message to a wider audience, you’ll definitely be heard. Responses may be a mix of favourable and challenging, as others react strongly to what you say. Therefore, choose your words with care, even if you feel the urge to let loose. 

Cancer

These energies an unpredictable – be aware that your professional image will be impacted by what you say. 

Leo

A delay could be your chance to make a course correction. 

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of opportunities suggest leap of faith, or surprising announcement, driven by work or health challenges.

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of shared resources can trigger a conversation/piece of research that’s a bit jolting, but ultimately good for you. Difficult discussions, or uncomfortable realizations about money/intimacy may be on the menu. Be brave, and embrace this new information. Too, a financial opportunity can suddenly appear, as you dig underneath surface assumptions. You may have to verbally push some limits to see the benefits.

Libra

Meaning, you’ll attract those who resonate with your passion, courage and self-interest. This could also mean fully committing your energy to a new relationship development – this is not the time to waffle.

Aspects to Mercury in your relationship sector (including the opposition to Jupiter Rx in your sign) can trigger a turning-point conversation with someone significant. An abrupt introduction, declaration or goodbye may rattle you, but the information you receive will clear the decks for something better. Now you have the freedom to grow. In some cases, you could receive news that completely changes your mind about someone. 

Scorpio

The Sun into your sector of routine, and Venus Rx, can reinvigorate your health or work routines. The realization that you need to treat yourself better can flip the switch on diet, exercise, medical issues, or your approach to obligations.

In some cases, you may take another crack at a past obligation or work issue – this time, you’ll do it right. Relationships with co-workers can turn an interesting corner.

Capricorn

The Sun into your domestic sector, and Venus Rx, signal new developments at home, with family, or with a home business. This could be about making more time for you, declaring your must-haves, or launching something that’s aligned with your ideas of beauty and comfort.  A redecorating project could gain momentum. 

Aspects to Mercury in your domestic sector (including the square to Pluto in your sign) suggest a discussion with family, or information about your home/home business, that pushes your buttons. You could lose patience with an ongoing issue and abruptly speak your mind.

Returning to a conversation/contact from the past can reveal valuable news. 

Aspects to Mercury in your communication sector trigger a mobilizing discussion or realization. An announcement could hit you unexpectedly, or you could make a surprising discovery.

Francesco del Cossa 

Overview

March 6th brings a moment of clarity, as the Pisces Sun conjoins Mercury. An illusion could be exposed, but so could a compassionate approach or transcendent idea. On March 10th, Mercury conjoins Pallas, then Chiron. Building on the Sun/Mercury illumination, this influence points to a wound, and healing strategies. 

Pallas and Chiron will conjoin on March 14th, but they are within orb now. A sore spot (Chiron) is perceived (Pallas) and Mercury puts it into words. Mercury plus Pallas blends intuition and communication. 

All of the above will feed into the the March 12th Full Moon in Virgo, ruled by Mercury. Here we see the clear results, and the flaws. Saturn in Sagittarius will make an exact square to Mercury on this day, so this Moon will have a pronounced sense of restriction. You’ll know exactly what you can do, what you can’t do, and what must be improved (Virgo). You’ll feel some pressure, with taskmaster Saturn and perfectionist Virgo. But this can be a call for excellence, as you’re confronted with realities and you respond with maturity and refinement. 

Mars enters Taurus on March 9th, grounding actions in real-world basics. If you want to move forward, you’ll have to start with the bottom line: what do you need to build and survive? Forget about complicated maneuvers. Turn your attention to what you want, and get to work. 

A Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn will take place in January, 2020. This is the big league- we’re talking seismic shifts in power and complete deconstruction of certain traditions. Interested in knowing how it might impact you? Check out my PDF download. 

Aries

Aspects to Mercury in your hidden sector shed light on alternative strategies for healing, release or learning. Messages will not be obvious, and what you learn may slide right by- you’ll have to turn down the external volume so you can hear what’s being said behind the scenes. 

This hidden intel will lead up to the Full Moon, in your sector of routine. Watch for a diagnosis involving work or health matters. What you need to know (so you can correct or heal) will be revealed. However, restrictions around these facts will also be revealed. You may be called on to prove your results, or account for issues that have been overlooked. Too, you could be confronted with practical limits, as you discover that alternative strategies don’t mean much unless they’re applied in real life. 

Mars into your sector of personal resources sees your determined efforts to get the essentials. Earned money, self-esteem and personal values can benefit from your slow, steady assertiveness. This is a manifestation influence – your actions will directly impact your security.

Taurus

Aspects to Mercury in your social sector suggest conversations/contacts that open your eyes to a larger issue. You could learn about a friend’s pain, or a pattern in society that puts your vulnerabilities in perspective. Too, there could be an opportunity to teach, or address your public discomfort with creative strategies.  

What you learn or communicate will be part of the Full Moon’s results, in your sector of self-expression. This suggests going public with what you know, or launching a solution that impacts the group. However, there will also be some shade thrown on your ideas. Background restrictions will define the public response to your words – not everyone will agree with you, and you may have to struggle to get support. In some cases, you could go public with an embarrassing admission.  

Fortunately, Mars into your sign ups your ambition, energy and courage to move forward. When you set your mind to something, you see it through to the end. Mars can be the start of your determined effort to enhance your security or pursue what you want, no matter what the Full Moon delivers. 

Gemini

Aspects to Mercury in your career sector illuminate a key weakness or trouble spot, along with creative solutions. The issue may involve your struggles with success, or a larger pattern within your company or industry. A conversation with management may be quite revealing. In some cases, these influences suggest an iconic announcement or launch that reaches a wide audience. 

The Full Moon in your domestic sector builds on the above, with a domestic and professional turning point. Developments on the job (or with your professional image) will clarify personal issues: what needs to be corrected (at home) will be illuminated. At the same time, you’ll be dealing with limits around what you discussed or announced. Open communication may be restricted by certain rules, or your decisions about future goals will be sharply defined by a partnership commitment. A key person may not be on board with your plans. 

Mars into your hidden sector suggests you may pull back and regroup. Whether you’re due for a rest, or decide to concentrate your efforts on background issues, this transit allows you to bank your energy for future goals. Take it slow, and look after yourself. 

Cancer

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of opportunities can inspire creative strategies around travel, education, legal matters or publishing. You may glimpse a larger pattern that can benefit you, or become involved with a cause or legal issue. Reaching an audience is a theme, and the key will be your ability to put a vulnerability into words that inspires others. 

The Full Moon in your communication sector delivers results based on the above. A decision, answer or response to your words will be clear, but may not be exactly what you hoped for. There will be limits on how far you can push an issue. There may be significant pressure to understand new concepts, or prove your ideals/intentions. Too, the increased pressure can improve your focus and determination to learn/excel/make your point. 

Mars into your social sector adds energy to group activities, friendships and your connection to the public. Your efforts to make public changes, increase business, or simply connect with others, will work best if you exercise patience and perseverance. Again, you may have to prove your intentions. 

Leo

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of shared resources reveal problems and possible solutions around debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances. A strategy to deal with financial loss or insecurity may be in the works. Alternatively, doubts involving intimacy may be discussed with a partner, or via therapy. 

The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources can deliver concrete results, and a plan of action, regarding the above influences. The focus will be on precise facts and improvements, and you may have to deal with some unpleasant realities. A financial shortfall, or romantic disappointment, may be part of the picture. However, the end result can encourage you to set boundaries, manage your expectations, and tighten up your financial picture. 

Mars into your career sector fuels professional ambitions. Whether you’re looking for a job, attempting to climb the ladder at an existing job, or putting energy into your own business, Mars will gift you with lasting initiative. This is about more than an in-the-moment impulse – you’ll be serious about success. 

Virgo

Aspects to Mercury in your partnership sector can illuminate opportunities for a calm, empathetic discussion about relationship disappointments. Anxieties can be addressed with cooperative strategies- you don’t have to struggle through this alone. If you’re single, you can still uncover some powerful insights into your love life through a one-on-one conversation.

The Full Moon in your sign signals a turning point in a key relationship. An existing partnership can be clarified, as you and your partner see exactly what difficulties need to be addressed. Disagreements over domestic issues, or responsibilities involving family, will be hi-lighted. The solution won’t make everyone happy, but you’ll see what can be improved, and what needs to end. If you’re single, the Full Moon can present a reality check about who you can trust, or fears/doubts that you project onto others. Either way, this is about a clear-eyed approach that overrides what-if fears with problem solving.

Mars into your sector of opportunities can signal progress in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Progress will be slow, and you may have to fight for something you haven’t yet attained. But forward movement can happen with persistence, patience and your focus on what’s most important (don’t get distracted). 

Libra

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of routine hi-light crucial information about a work or health issue. A pattern involving work, diet or exercise habits could be the key to dealing with a trouble spot. Alternatively, you may reach an understanding about routines that have been undermining you. 

The Full Moon in your hidden sector builds on the above influences, with an illumination that reveals what you’ve been overlooking or avoiding. The last piece of the puzzle may clarify a secret or suspicion, and you’ll have to deal with a reality check. There may be increased pressure to deliver the goods, or deliver a solution. Too, you may be confronted with some news about an unavoidable obligation. Health issues are emphasized. 

Mars into your sector of shared resources can increase the passion between you and someone special. You may be pushed into areas that you’re not entirely comfortable with, but remember that you have the final say. This influence is gradual – you’re allowed to move at your own pace. Issues around debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances may also be energized. 

Scorpio

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of self-expression enable you to see imaginative patterns and solutions. Watch for a moment of inspiration, or a conversation that addresses doubts and insecurities about romance or public performance. Ideas that reach others will be based on your embrace of what hurts.

The Full Moon in your social sector suggests that you may go public, or reach a wide audience with your words. A public statement, creative launch or group activity may be involved, but there will also be some limits on what you can say, or how receptive everyone will be. There may be some judgment directed at you. Too, you could encounter hard facts about your dream, once it goes public. 

Mars into your partnership sector can introduce a hot new attraction, or add some heat to an existing relationship. You may experience competition and challenges from someone, as you’re pushed to respond. This energy is not volatile, but it is relentless. You may encounter someone just as stubborn as you are – how will you respond? 

Sagittarius

Aspects to Mercury in your domestic sector point to family discussions about medical issues, old wounds or structural weaknesses in the home. There could be increased understanding and empathy about what a family member is going through. 

The Full Moon in your career sector shines a light on the above issues, from a professional context. Advice from someone in authority may be featured. Or, you may have to address a flaw in your professional image/approach to work. The square from Saturn in your sign suggests you will be intensely aware of responsibilities and limits that are impacting your home and career. It’s up to you to deal with personal issues that are distracting you. 

Mars into your sector of routine can help, with more energy to get things done. Your workload may increase, but so will your determination to make improvements and attend to obligations. Medical issues can be actively addressed. In all cases, patience and a measured pace is best. 

Capricorn

Aspects to Mercury in your communication sector suggest a healing conversation/awareness. You can address an ongoing weakness, insecurity or sore spot with a blend of intuition, empathy and strategy. Too, there may be valuable insights from education, research or seminars. 

The Full Moon in your sector of opportunities finishes things off with an announcement, moment of clarity or official confirmation. An agreement can be concluded, or you may discover a solution that impacts travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Not all the news/results will be to your liking – you’ll also be dealing with background limits on how far you can go with this solution. Limits around what you’re allowed to say, or how effective the solution is, will be frustrating. However, you’ll be pushed to say it/write it with maximum effectiveness. Pressure to study or write an exam may also be featured.

Mars into your sector of self-expression increases your need for fun, indulgence, romance or play. You may feel a strong urge to treat yourself, or go after what/who you want. Mars can also boost your confidence and help you manifest creative work, but results will be dependent on your patient efforts. 

Aquarius

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of personal resources clue you in to creative/unusual ways to make money. In the process, you can address issues around financial insecurity, or not getting paid what you’re worth. 

The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources hi-lights an area where you can’t quite make ends meet. Debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances may be key issues, and your dispassionate assessment of the facts will be necessary. But you can also apply the creative strategies that you recently learned. You may need to adjust future goals to meetfinancial realities. In some cases, this Moon could clarify where you need to set financial or emotional boundaries, especially if someone is asking you for more than you can give.

Mars into your domestic sector can energize your desire to clean house, or relocate. There may also be some structural repairs to attend to, or slow-burning conflicts with family members. 

Pisces

Aspects to Mercury in your sign increase your insight, intuition and ability to recognize a weak spot or vulnerability. Too, there may be an opportunity to express healing words/thoughts (for yourself or someone else). Creative wisdom and logic can be applied to a work or personal issue. Know that you’ve got all the tools you need to tackle a problem.

The Full Moon in your partnership sector will be a reality check for a one-on-one relationship. Your personal or professional connection with a significant person may be clearly defined by what’s missing, or in need of improvement. At the same time, you’ll be pushed to take a hard look at exactly what works for you, and what isn’t working. There may be pressure for you to respond with proof or qualifications. 

Mars into your sector of communications can assist. It should feel easier to speak up and align actions with words. This can be a manifestation transit for you, as thoughts lead directly to concrete results.

Overview

The February 26th Pisces eclipse will reverberate through this week’s aspects. All interpretations are connected to the eclipse, and may blend together as one, multi-layered event. 

February 27th sees Mercury conjoin the Pisces South Node. A message from the past will remind you of what you need to clarify or develop (Mercury rules the Virgo North Node). And there will also be reminders of stories that are false or poisonous. The March 1st conjunction of the Sun and Neptune in Pisces can illuminate a moment of compassion or transcendent release, as you cry, forgive or give it up. 

March 2nd brings us the second of three oppositions between Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries (the first opposition occurred on December 26th, 2016) This time, Jupiter is Rx. An opposition is a culmination – results may be quick, but they won’t be new. Jupiter Rx’s questions, backtracking and narrowed vision will trigger a sudden rebalancing, as Uranus upsets the status quo, once again. The outcome could be surprisingly positive, as you get a second crack at an opportunity that first came ‘round in December. Or, there could be a sudden ending. But the writing’s been on the wall for awhile, and Mercury/South Node will spell it out. 

March 4th marks Venus’ Rx station in Aries. The pace of events after Jupiter/Uranus will slow. Venus Rx asks you to review relationships, self-esteem and finances. In the context of Aries, this will be about new initiatives that put you first. Jupiter/Uranus and the eclipse revealed a new landscape, and now you’ll be checking in with yourself to see if you’re getting what you want. And, if you have the freedom to simply be happy. Aries is not a complicated sign: either you love/feel loved, or you don’t. Any delays, changes of heart or reconnections with the past are designed to increase your awareness of personal values and courage. If you’re not the number one priority, Venus Rx will intensify this until it becomes intolerable. 

Mercury conjoins Neptune on the same day, expanding your awareness. Venus Rx will narrow the field and emphasize a point of desire. Passionate, primal Aries demands immediate satisfaction, so Venus Rx and Mercury/Neptune could create some obsessive or inspired moments. You’ll see what more coud be possible, and you’ll really, really want ____. Or, you’ll see what you’re missing. 

Aries

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your hidden sector reveal additional layers. Quiet revelations about an ultimate goal can unfold. It may be time to nail down an issue you’ve been avoiding – develop a specific plan that helps you organize routines and daily habits. Or, maybe you need to get real about a health issue.

Jupiter Rx opposite Uranus in your sign can bring a culmination or about-face regarding public image, physical appearance or a relationship. Sudden reversals will involve a push for freedom and accelerated growth. Beginnings or endings are equally possible, and you may find it difficult to balance impulse with caution. 

This will be followed by Venus Rx in your sign, and Mercury/Neptune in your hidden sector. No matter which way Jupiter/Uranus pushed you, you’ll be slowing down almost immediately. Reviews of who you love/how you love, or what you value, will be featured. A new or existing relationship will require a closer look. There may be delays, as new information emerges. Self-esteem and the courage to be you may also be issues, as you realize this is about much more than what’s on the surface. 

Taurus

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your social sector can illuminate a social goal or path to success. It may be time to go public with your work, or claim your position in the spotlight. Too, this can be the shift that happens when you release the expectations of others, and focus on what’s best for you. A friendship or group association may be involved. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus will yank back the curtain on what you’ve been hiding. This could be a secret project that’s ready to go public, or a disruptive secret that can’t be contained. Health or daily routines can be impacted – a change may seem unplanned on the surface, but will be the result of an ongoing, background push for progress. 

Venus Rx can trigger second thoughts about the above changes. Or, the public reaction could trigger a deeper evaluation of what you have. Comparisons between public and private can start a review around an ultimate romantic or creative goal. Process what’s happening, and allow events to unfold in their own time. You don’t have all the information yet, and what you want now may change significantly over the next month. Mercury/Neptune suggests the expansion of public ideals or public connections. Too, plans may turn out to be less clear than you thought. 

Gemini

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your career sector suggest a significant conversation with management, a business launch, interview or public statement. You might release invalid expectations in your professional life, while you open your eyes to something better. Too, there could be a key realization about home life versus professional priorities. Watch for a shift in your attitude towards success. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus suggest an unexpected reversal of fortune. A friendship, group association, or your public image could be impacted, as you put yourself/your work out there. Risk is enhanced, but so is reward. Absolute honesty is essential – who you really are will be on display. This will be the culmination of growth in the areas of new romance, creative work or children/pregnancy. If you’ve been overdoing it (drugs, alcohol, parties, gambling) the results could be disruptive.

Venus Rx suggest that after the Jupiter/Uranus rush, you’ll be backtracking on certain issues. A romantic attraction (friends to lovers, or vice versa) could be up for review. Your self-esteem and values (in a public context) will also be hi-lighted – are you getting support and recognition from others? For some, a public launch or professional event may feature delays, confusion or mixed messages. Mercury/Neptune can point to a key discussion with someone in authority, or a professional statement. However, it will be difficult to nail down concrete facts.

Cancer

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your sector of opportunities see you sorting through your options. What’s possible and what’s too far out of reach will be on your radar. You’ll be considering next steps around travel, relocation, education, legal matters or publishing. It may be time to get something in writing. Or, you may have to start writing/clarifying your big ideas. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus suggests a sudden result regarding career and home life. An abrupt change in the direction of your career, a job loss/gain or relocation are possibilities. Intensified focus on one area of domestic growth will be the trigger for a complete overhaul of your future goals. 

Venus Rx puts things on pause after the above culmination. Your vision of what’s possible can expand, as you review professional developments. Watch for an appraisal of your image, work relationships or happiness on the job. Newly emerging values, or your increased demands to be valued, will be featured. For some, a significant business relationship could be the catalyst for a new work goal.  Mercury/Neptune can boost your expectations, but use caution where commitments or solid facts are necessary. At this point, ideas may be nothing more than wishful thinking. 

Leo

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your sector of shared resources can unlock private matters between you and your partner. Shared finances or intimacy may be areas where a cleansing conversation happens. Vulnerabilities and fear of loss will come up. Too, you may sense that the time’s ripe to organize your finances (debts, taxes, loans) or get the facts about what you’re prepared to share, or what you expect to be shared with you. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus can deliver a surprising answer or decision. An announcement may be quite different from what you expected, or may hit you faster and harder than anticipated. In some cases, this could be a triumphant conclusion, in the form of a graduation, publication, launch or legal result. You could make a dramatic, final statement based on faith and risk, but be careful that you don’t burn all your bridges. 

Venus Rx will see you pausing and deeply considering the fallout from Jupiter/Uranus. After the big declaration/discovery, there will be delays or a change of direction in the areas of travel, education, long distance romance, legal matters or publishing. When it slows down, your attention will be drawn once again to private/uncomfortable matters. Mercury/Neptune suggests that what’s going on behind the scenes is still being worked out. In some cases, you may need to release things on a deeper level before you can move ahead. Discussions may start with one topic, and quickly slide into a whole new level where nothing is considered taboo. 

Virgo

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your relationship sector can encourage open discussion between you and a partner. Topics can range from clarifying future goals/commitments, to agreeing that it’s time to let go. Either way, something will be released, whether it’s outdated mutual goals, or the relationship itself. For some, a new attraction with an intensely fated feeling can arrive. All Virgos (single or attached) will be working on clearing out old anxieties, worries and ties with undermining people. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus can flip the switch on a financial issue. An opportunity to earn more, or earn in an entirely different way, can present itself. Too, excessive spending or lack of attention to financial details can deliver an uncomfortable wake-up call. Imbalances in relationships may be abruptly exposed, as you juggle your needs with your partner’s. While events may hit suddenly, they will be the results of how you’ve been handling your personal and financial resources over the past few months. 

Venus Rx gives you the space to take a breath. Money and relationships will claim even more of your attention, but now you’ll be looking closely at what you have versus what you really want. Or, what your partner is able to give you. There may be delays around finances, especially taxes or loans. If a relationship has recently become intimate, you will discover that there’s more to work out. Mercury/Neptune favours compassionate, non-judgemental discussions with a partner, although specific commitments will be difficult to clarify at this point. 

Libra

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your sector of routine dissolve old habits while opening up to healthier scenarios. A health or work issue could be resolved, thanks to a key piece of information. These influences can help you see beyond stagnant or meaningless tasks and obligations – there’s something more for you that lies beyond going through the motions. 

Jupiter Rx in your sign, opposing Uranus in your partnership sector, can present a dramatic rebalancing. The exchange between you another has reached a turning point, and it’s time for you to reap the rewards. This can be your chance to shine, overhaul your public image, or show off your work. In some cases, these rewards will be unexpected – a loss or ending will benefit you, as you grow beyond people-pleasing, or denying what you really want. 

Venus Rx may slow the pace down a bit, giving you time to process recent changes. If a relationship has been on the fast track, there will be second thoughts. Or, one person may pull back. Too, a new attraction could intensify to the point where you have to struggle to maintain your sense of balance. You may be looking more closely at specific obligations or issues in your daily life – the give and take between you and another still needs some fine-tuning. Mercury/Neptune can deliver alternative solutions and peace of mind, but it may be difficult to focus on the essentials. Cut yourself some slack, and don’t expect perfection. 

Scorpio

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your sector of self-expression suggest a key contact or conversation involving creative work, a new attraction or children/pregnancy. What you learn can help you manifest what you’ve been hoping for, in a very public way. Too, you could finally release an unrealistic fantasy when you see how it appears in the real world. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus can bring radical results involving work tasks, a health issue or daily routines. Changes in the mundane details of your daily life have been brewing for awhile, and this influence will either push you into something brand new, or permanently disconnect you from what’s unhealthy. This could be part of a complete overhaul of your diet/exercise, or a new job opportunity. Too, something you didn’t know you wanted could make itself known. 

Venus Rx sees you pausing to evaluate the impact of the above changes. After the big overhaul, take some time to ease into your new routine and consider if what’s happening feels good. More adjustments may be needed, as you consider new ways to upgrade, correct and improve. Mercury/Neptune can see you more concerned with distractions (romantic or otherwise) than attending to obligations. Too, new possibilities could open your eyes to something better, making it tempting to give up on a new routine. Remember that Mercury/Neptune can create beautiful images, but it remains to be seen if they’re the real deal. 

Sagittarius

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your domestic sector continue an ongoing process of churning up the past and redefining your future. Family issues are hi-lighted, with conversations/insights that may go all the way back to childhood. This is a necessary part of releasing a family identity that’s no longer valid – you’re ready to be someone new. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus suggest a public announcement or reveal, perhaps sooner than planned. Issues with friends, groups or your place in the collective can see a surprising shift, although this has been building for awhile. A business launch or public speech is also favoured.

Venus Rx suggests it’s revaluation time, in light of the above events. New romance, creative work, or issues involving children/pregnancy can reveal more about your self-worth, or what you really want. Delays or backtracking can be beneficial, as this will allow you to take stock of what works for you. No matter how others are involved, this influence is about you first – what you’re creating and why. Mercury/Neptune increases the flow of compassion and family connections, although some discussions may get bogged down in the past. 

Capricorn

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your communication sector can see you swimming in nostalgia. Conversations, ideas or people from your past could materialize, and the purpose will be to flush away anything that’s holding you back from future opportunities. There could be a final apology, or a clarification about why someone is in your rearview mirror to begin with. There could be an opportunity to make something official, or put a dream into context. It’s time to sort through the “what-ifs” and get serious about your next step.

Jupiter Rx/Uranus suggest a culmination around career, professional image or future goals. The increasing pressure to do more, or change your approach, will peak. The need for a radical shift will be impossible to avoid, and the push could come in the form of a career opportunity or ending. Either way, you’re being given the freedom to maximize your potential. 

Venus Rx sees you pondering the impact of the above changes, in light of home and family dynamics. Any changes that impact your future and professional life will be evaluated according to potential improvements in your home life. You want the best for you and your family, while also supporting your desire for independence. In other areas, a home business or decorating project could experience delays, as you reconsider your next step. Mercury/Neptune can present creative inspiration, or soften your words.

Aquarius

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your sector of personal resources suggest a conversation or piece of information involving earned money, sources of income or personal values. There could be an opportunity to expand your earnings, make more from what you have (make your money work for you) or achieve a deeper understanding of what satisfies your basic needs. In the process, you’ll be saying goodbye to old values and habits that undermine your self-esteem.

Jupiter Rx/Uranus can bring results involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Your efforts to learn more, relocate or broaden your reach can pay off in a flash of achievement. Watch for a lucky break or surprising announcement. 

Venus Rx could indicate delays after the above results. You may have second thoughts involving the alignment of events with your values and happiness. Is this really what you want? Did you express yourself authentically? Initially there may be more questions than answers. Alternatively, Venus Rx can reconnect you with a past attraction. You’re not the same person, so don’t allow yourself to be dragged back into the same dynamics. Mercury/Neptune can tune you in to what feels good for you, even if the words say something different. On the other hand, Mercury/Neptune can temporarily blur your boundaries – don’t sacrifice your hard-won values and security. 

Pisces

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your sign open a door from the past. Although the pull may be strong, know that you’re meant to let go of what’s no longer working, so you can correct, improve and zero in on your next, best step. Relationships, public identity, lifestyle or physical appearance are areas where you may feel these shifts. Watch for a key message/messenger.

Jupiter Rx/Uranus can deliver results involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. There could be an abrupt rebalancing of resources or give and take – this will be connected to ongoing changes in your earned income or personal values. In some cases, you could gain more than you hoped for.

Venus Rx brings an immediate reevaluation after the above changes. Money, personal values or self-esteem will be under review, as you look carefully at your newly emerging situation. Are you standing up for yourself?  A new source of income may require a second look, or more negotiating. Mercury/Neptune in your sign can expand your idealism, your intuition or your delusions – think carefully before you say “yes.” Words mean less than what the voice inside of you is saying.
