Being in Queensland, and needing to keep the house as cool as possible, we have tiles in all rooms other than the bedrooms and my study/office. The carpet in these rooms is plush. (As an aside, I love the way…

Taurus Season: Look After Yourself
New Moon in Taurus: This Is For You
The April 26th New Moon (6 degrees Taurus) is self-contained, as it makes no major aspects. This perfectly describes the Taurus energy of self-sufficiency. Which means you can use it to stabilize an area of your life.
New Moons are ideal times to start something. In Taurus, it would make sense to work on personal resources – money, self-esteem, values, your garden (spring planting). Earthy Taurus beginnings are simple, solid and real. Growth will be slow, so this should be something you’re prepared to nurture over the long haul.
There may be a connection to the April 20th conjunction between Mercury Rx and Sun , which was also a new beginning (based on the review of previous ideas).
There’s nothing complicated about this Moon. It’s quiet – an island in the midst of other, more tangled influences. If you’re feeling lost or helpless, this New Moon can be your place to start something you have control over. Taurus is all about you. This should be something that makes you feel good (not deprived) because you’ll be living with it for a long time.
Ideally, what you start should gradually increase in value and enhance your security. If you’re working on self-esteem/personal values, try using a physical prompt – something you can ground yourself in.
If you’re setting New Moon intentions, keep these key words in mind:
- patient
- fertile
- tangible
- comfortable
- valuable
April 17th, 2017: Some Progress
Uncontrollable Passions | Mars enters Gemini, Mercury enters Aries, Sun enters Taurus
We’re greeted with an impressive Sun/Saturn trine on April 17. These vibrations can be quite useful in helping us to deal with superiors, as well as in taking on some of the tougher stuff – with much greater ease. For those who come face to face with an unpleasant experience instead, you’re also blessed. This is a […]
April 9th, 2017: Mercury Retrograde
- Mercury stations Rx in Taurus: 4 degrees, 7:14 PM EDT
As Mercury slows and shifts gears in Taurus, the usual Rx themes apply: reviews, corrections, delays and people changing their minds. This will happen in the context of security and fixed plans (Taurus).
The sure thing may not be so sure. The idea you’re banking on will be up for review. You’ll be tempted to stubbornly cling to the initial choice or promise, but you’re better off considering the alternatives. Even if those alternatives include a delay.
It may help if you focus on the value of what’s happening. What is the initial plan/promise worth? Mercury Rx suggests there may be more value beneath the surface, revealed in the retrograde process. Or, you may discover the initial idea is worthless.
A reminder that we now have four Rx planets (Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury). Venus will station direct on April 15th, indicating a small shift in one area. From April 9th to April 15th, try not to project ahead – focus on the present, or attend to issues from the past that have reentered your life.

Repairing Broken Fences | Saturn Retrograde, Mercury Retrograde
Saturn retrograde. We’re temporarily stepping away from what has normally held us up; in order to get a better evaluation of the time and energy it has required of us. As we begin to shift back a bit, we’ll be able to get a much broader view of all that’s been built – which we’ve […]
