Venus is a busy girl in the
early part of our week. Fairly luscious that this occurs under a
Venus ruled Moon in the same sign. This morning, the Moon entered
Taurus at 4:52 AM. Her only major aspect within this day is a trine
to Saturn at 8:39 PM. The day doesn't move quickly. It's more of a
steady and purposeful plod. However, time may seem as if it slips by
a little more swiftly as Mercury is now direct in the sign of Aries.
Plus, there will likely be impatience to deal with as the Sun creeps
into his conjunction with Uranus which perfects on Wednesday morning.
We are spared much of the
latter today, though. Venus waxes into a seductive opposition with
Jupiter in Scorpio at 3:00 AM. In the morning, she is sunk deeply in
a trine with Pluto as the Moon leaves a dreamy sextile with Neptune.
This is greatly enchanting energy that comes to us overnight and
sticks around way after the Sun rises tomorrow. There is yearning
that comes with it which wells up from deep inside. My advice is to
focus that yearning and attractive power only upon that which you
want to grow. Venus in Taurus is fertile all by herself. In aspect to
powerhouses, Jupiter and Pluto..that fertility increases
tremendously. You will attract more of what you allow your attention
to follow. So, only allow it to linger upon desirable things instead
of fearful ones. Your attention is likened to currency here. Spend it
wisely and deliberately.
This set up could play out
as a deep yearning toward satisfaction and indulgence. The low end
being greedy, a glutton, spending money you don't have or using
seduction as weapon. Not that I have anything against a good femme
fatale story. I'm just saying this sky is excellent for one to be
written. Because, yes, this is wildly seductive and alluring energy.
Matters less what it actually is and more what you do with it.
This is wonderful for gentle
self-indulgences. Sharing of pleasures and even efforts aimed at
deepening or enjoying current intimacies in relationships. It's rich
and the sextile from the Moon to Neptune in the morning makes it
intoxicating. Pick your pleasure wisely. Then, once you do, sink all
in. While we are sunk in our individual pleasures, and perhaps
lingering in dream...Chiron leaves the sign of Pisces and enters
Aries at 4:27 AM. Fairly relevant shift right there. But, it's not
likely to really make itself known just yet. However, the Aries point
is a pretty powerful place. I could be absolutely wrong on not
noticing. Chiron could make his presence known in Aries right off the
bat. We are pretty focused on Venus things right now more than Marsy
ones though.

The air of luscious
seduction continues this morning under our Taurus Moon. We may want
to linger a bit longer in bed with our satisfaction as the Moon
relaxes in sextile to Neptune at 7:28 AM. A rich and hearty breakfast
is likely in store as the strong magnetic pull of craving and comes
about as Venus and Pluto trine at 9:01 AM. Just in time for the Moon
to trine Mars in Capricorn. I have a feeling there is a high chance
several baby barnyard animals may be created within these two days.
Know what I mean? The ground is fertile. So is the sky. So are we.
With the Sun still in Aries, we are on the hunt and the enchantment
of the reward is quite enticing. We are both eager and hungry. How
that goes depends upon our intent. It is sexy. It is powerful. It is
attractive. Aim it at what you want to allure, enchant, seduce and
draw to you. Don't chase it. Focus on it and this energy will draw it
to you. On, a side note, attempt to persuade yourself from focusing
on things you don't want to draw toward you and don't aim this at
something you don't want to have following you around for awhile.
Plus, remember, we are aiming for quality here.
The trine to Mars gives us
traction while the waning Venus aspects give us a carrot at the end
of our stick as motivation to work for what we desire. At 4:42 PM the
Moon opposes Jupiter expanding how we feel and giving us a chance to
evaluate how much power we are giving to things like fear or any of
the 7 deadlies. Adjust your perspective as appropriate and
know...yeah..Monday and Tuesday are hot and hungry. The Moon now
enters the same situation as Venus is leaving. She trines Pluto at
5:19 PM and then meets Venus by conjunction both feeling quite
satisfied at 6:06 PM.
Following this conjunction
we enter a rather extended period of a Void Moon that allows us to
linger in the pleasure of that Venus/Moon conjunction for awhile. The
Moon doesn't enter into Gemini until 8:03 AM. Meanwhile, Saturn
stations retrograde in Capricorn at 8:40 PM. Be ready for an
integrity check. As Saturn retrogrades we are called to
self-accountability. However, the manner in which we conduct
ourselves during this retrograde will be judged when Saturn turns
direct later in this year and retraces his steps. The best use of
this energy has us assessing the foundations of what we have built
thus far. Pluto's retrograde will be much of the same deal. All of
which giving us opportunity to strengthen our foundations and add
layers of detail that will support us more firmly in the future.
Construction has not stopped. But, at these turning points, we will
want to pause to ensure everything is going up sturdy.
But, not tonight. Tonight
under this Void Moon we are more likely to sink back into our
pleasure sources in an effort to remind ourselves of the good things
in life. The little personal pleasures and times of comfort and
enjoyment.

The mood shifts from
satisfied to curious as the Moon enters Gemini this morning. The last
two days have been a rather slow plod in which we may have been a
little distracted by seduction and pleasure. Today, though, under an
Air Moon which finds Chiron in Aries by sextile as the Sun finds
Uranus in Aries...all of a sudden everyone has a bee in their pants
or something. Gotta go! Gotta do! Right now!
This is the last conjunction
the Sun will make to Uranus in the sign of Aries. By the time we make
another trip around the Sun and land back in Aries season next year,
Uranus will have already begun breaking ground in Taurus. He will
retrograde back to the latter degrees of Aries eventually. But, he
and the Sun will not meet here again. Today's conjunction (10:00 AM)
occurs on the following Sabian Symbol: 29 Aries: A celestial choir
has arisen to sing cosmic harmonies. At-one-ment of consciousness
with comic powers. Harmonic understanding and faith in the order and
meaning of life.
Sounds good, right? It is a
beautiful symbol. However, we are still looking at Sun conjunct
Uranus which on the low end can lead us to impulsive actions instead
of mindful ones. We are driven to act quickly with a methodical Mars
and potentially easily distracted Moon..meaning, our focus could be a
bit off kilter under Moon in Gemini. So, while the inspiration and
feeling of freedom and personal authority that comes with this
conjunction, just slow down a bit. Think about what you are doing.
Thankfully, that is
accessible under this sky as well. The moon only makes one major
aspect within this day which is a sextile to Mercury in Aries. More
Fire and Air in mixture...could make for a windy day if nothing else.
We are significantly lighter and more mobile than we have been for
the last two days. So, ease into this electric energy with awareness and resistance to being pushed into action
until you are ready to consciously respond.
There may be some issues
with frustration tolerance here as well as Sun conjunct Uranus is
definitely not known for it's patience. This energy is quite active
and not something I recommend trying to sit still with. It's great
for trying new things or embarking on adventures. But, we may need to
breathe through some adrenaline surges, a few blips of anxiety/panic
or just cool our jets a bit so we can make our actions conscious
instead of going for the knee-jerk immediate response. So, regardless
of what you feel inspired to do today, do it while well grounded and
with mental engagement. Otherwise, the conversational winds pick up.
Folks are more social. We are ready to get out and about and BAM it's
suddenly Spring! Still plenty of room for weather to be wicked in
areas. Sun/Uranus can produce that and in the morning the Moon is
square Neptune...so what that looks like to me is warm and windy that
could lead to some wetness as we get more deeply into this. Perhaps
thunderstorms and, yes, I definitely expect some wind. So go! But
definitely take your brain with you.

This morning we wake up
under the fog of the Moon in square to Neptune (10:12 AM). This can
run the gamut of fatigue, emotionality, sensitivity, confusion...as
above and so below. The external weather is confusing and that likely
translates quite literally to the emotional sphere this morning. Plan
to take a little extra time to get engaged today because it does look
like a slow start for various reasons.
The Moon makes only minor
aspect throughout the rest of the day coloring in personal nuance in
regard to how the day unfolds. Then, at 11:13 PM, Aries season comes
to an end. The Sun enters Taurus.

So, we need to be slow
entering this day and by the end of it we can leisurely sink into a
more manageable pace as compared to the uptick in tempo we might have
encountered under Sun/Uranus. We relax a bit here and become a little
more steady. Patience returns. And brings stubbornness/tenacity with
it.

This morning, the Gemini
Moon makes a fresh breezy sextile with Uranus at the end of Aries
before reaching Void status. This is a light feel and more active
than yesterday morning. That sextile dawns just after sunrise at 8:06
AM. It does feel rather fresh and light. Which is nice. From here the
Moon is Void until entering the sign of Cancer at 10:28 AM. The light
breeze of Gemini is replaced by the waves of Crab. Our bellies growl
and we yearn for comfort.

At 11:17 AM, our Cancer Moon
embraces the Taurus Sun...and, isn't it time to start thinking about
things like summer salads and seasonal fresh goodies? Yes. Yes, I
think it is. The beginning of our week and the end of it could very
well be spent around a table spread. At the first of the week, a
seductive and rich display. The end, more inclined toward the good
comfort food that Mom used to make. Either way, we are likely going
to want to get the groceries to prepare for this. Because, it is
hungry.
Today, though, also happens
to be pretty darn sweet to put things in the ground. Today and
tomorrow are planting days and the sky is absolutely perfect for it.
So, if you have a garden to get out, today and tomorrow are the days
to get on it! That rich window of opportunity for planting opens as
the Moon enters Cancer at 10:28 AM today all the way up until she is
rendered Void at 10:59 AM on the morning of the 22nd. I
strongly advise you get your plants in the ground by the night of the
21st, though.
Overall, today we are
looking for soothing. Self-nurturing and feathering one's nest are
among the best expressions.
At 8:43 Pm, the Moon is put
off by Mercury in Aries. There could be disagreements here, anxiety
or a brief blip of discomfort. That is met with some pressure toward
accountability as the Moon opposes Saturn newly in retrograde station
at 1:51 AM. An over-active mind and a sense of anxiety could lead to
depressive and stuck feelings overnight. We are reminded of our
responsibilities here.

Last night's emotional
pressure leads to today's emotional release as the Moon finds Neptune
in Pisces by trine just after noon. This is watery and creative.
Relaxed and dreamy. The Moon then moves on to oppose Mars in
Capricorn (6:37 PM) before making another water trine with Jupiter in
Scorpio (8:57 PM). We are looking for creativity and escape in the
early part of the day. Then, as the opposition to Mars comes in we
are looking to methodically progress. Once the trine to Jupiter
perfects, we are focused in on our goals but also likely ready to
relax a bit. It would be an overall good day to relax if it weren't
for that pesky Mars aspect. So, leave room for a few light chores so
you can feel as if you've accomplished something but mostly prepare
to drift leisurely through this day.
Tonight, be ready for
indulgence and perhaps some grown up pleasure time. Following the
trine with Jupiter (which is also pretty seductive) the Moon opposes
Pluto at 10:22 PM. Pluto's power is quite focused as he quivers in
station right now. So this opposition is powerful. The low end
leading to using guilt/shame and emotional manipulation to persuade
or control others. On the high end though this is wonderfully fertile
and has room for personal indulgences. The Moon remains active
through the night as Pluto stations retrograde at 6:45 AM.

We wake slow, steady, hungry
and stable this morning as the Moon is in luscious sextile with Venus
in Taurus. That feel doesn't sustain for the day, however. The Moon
moves quickly forward to square with anxious making Uranus at 10:59
AM. There is a bit of a rush of energies and semi-kick in the pants
here to get the ball the rolling. Yet, following this catalytic
square, the Moon is Void until entering Leo at 1:10 PM.
Gah! I'm eventually going to
have to talk about Chiron in Aries. I will. But, know it's under
protest. LOL. I am a Chiron in Aries native and after several years
of having that point played with by outer planets, I'd be just fine
if I never heard the words Chiron in Aries again. The truth is,
Chiron returns are difficult. They present challenges. We have been
prepared for those by way of midlife transits and direct hits to
Chiron (from Uranus, Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter) for the return. And,
I have seen beauty emerge from folks after. I know that it all fits
into the 2nd Saturn return and in the logical brain it
makes wonderful sense. But, if you think for one minute that I look
forward to dealing with my triggers? Um. Nope. Not looking forward to
doing to the work that I will need to do to reach the final beautiful
emergence of my Chiron return. I'll do it to the best of my
abilities. Of course. Just like anyone else. But, looking forward to
it is a bit too much for me muster at this point. Maybe that will
change..lol...or maybe not. Either way, here it freaking comes.
The Moon's first aspect from
the sign of Leo is a trine to Chiron in Aries. Bringing with it the
mark of potential selfishness and immaturity. We will be able to see
how a wounded sense of self and a lack of ability to assert ourselves
has led to the development of our personality and how it affects our
self-expression. This is not foreceful. At the lowest end, what you
have at potential is likened to a primary school child's meltdown. On
the highest end we are shown these wounds so that we may heal them.
At 5:47 PM, we meet with the
pressure to perform energy of our first quarter moon. We are
encouraged to put our personal signature and add the same kind of
designer flair to whatever projects we may be working on. But, there
is pressure to engage here and take solid steps toward any goals or
intentions we sat at the New Moon. One solid and personally
illustrated step in the right direction is what is called for.
Overnight the Moon will trine Mercury in Aries filling our dreams
with exciting restlessness.
Tomorrow we are going to be
inclined to add more pressure to ourselves as the Moon squares
Jupiter and Mars waxes toward the same by sextile. Remember the pace.
Slow. Methodical. Deliberate and avoid over-estimating what it is you
can realistically achieve resisting the urge toward herculean and
super human effort. Otherwise, you may end up in disappointment for
not being able to complete all your over blown expectations. So,
stick slow and steady progress as a target you aim for when headed
into your tomorrow. We are going to want to go to fast and hard. But,
really, what we need to do is knuckle down and be mindful of the step
by step.
Sadly, tomorrow is our last
day with Venus in Taurus. She enters the butterfly land of Gemini on
Tuesday.
