This morning we wake up to the Moon in
Capricorn. Saturday is fairly industrious whether we are working at
home or gathering extra hours at our day job. By 11:28 AM Venus has
shifted into Gemini from Taurus. Values and desire shift from their
stable, sturdy home place to airy and sometimes fickle Gemini.
While Venus in Gemini is a hard Venus
placement for me, for most folks it is like entertaining butterflies
in your heart. We learn appreciation for many things and are able to
show appreciation for those things by flitting from beautiful flower
to beautiful flower drinking the sweet nectar of each while
appreciating each one in different ways and for different reasons.
However, as Venus traverses the early degrees of Gemini, she will
meet in heavy aspect to both Neptune in Pisces (April 19th)
and Saturn Rx in Sagittarius (April 15th ). Venus will
also square off with Chiron in Pisces on April 29th. In
better news, she will also sextile Jupiter (April 22nd)
and Uranus (April 26th) during this trip too. Her dance
card certainly looks full to me. But, some partners are going to be
more difficult to salsa with than others. It's important to note, I
think, that while Venus opposes Saturn on April 15th, the
Moon is in early Pisces squaring both Venus and Saturn. The
opposition from Venus to Saturn can certainly be a drag. With the
Moon involved, we have a mutable t-square to deal with (the outlet is
in Virgo meaning the answer is practicality and discovering how you
can serve). Then, during the aspects to Jupiter and Uranus the skies
clear and we fly freely about the warming atmosphere carefree and
uplifted. Our Venetian Goddess soars high on these days. That's
something to definitely look forward to. As an added bonus, as Venus
squares off with Neptune, the Moon and Sun are in stable Taurus which
will help with some of the confusion and nebulousness found in our
hearts during that time.
The movements of Venus will be
important as the Sun enters Venus ruled Taurus on April 18th.
This occurs shortly after the New Moon in Aries. The Moon follows the
Sun into the sign the very same day.
As for today, after Venus enters
Gemini, the Moon finds Pluto by conjunction at 12:33 PM. Our hearts
may be in flitting around, but our emotional body is running very
deep. Shortly after (2:41 PM) the Moon also squares off with Uranus.
And, then, we end the our Saturday under the Last Quarter Moon at
11:45 PM.
Moon conjunct Pluto and square Uranus
while our value systems are shifty makes me a little nervous. But,
then again, shifting value systems in some arenas is exactly what we
need. Let's say, for example, that Moon/Pluto/Uranus gives someone
deep self insight into the fact that they are a misogynist. With
Venus in Gemini, they can take that realization and consciously shift
what it is they think is valuable to something more beneficial in an
effort to change for the better. We may actually want to change with
Venus in Gemini. It's not so easy as saying, “ooops, I'm a
misogynist, I think I'll change that.” But, it does give an
opportunity to begin to change things around. Then again that same
set of aspects could find our misogynistic “boss” locked in his
darkened office deeply engrossed in Internet porn while subsequently
flitting from dating site to dating site where he has a different
fake profile for each. He's got like 30 tabs open on his browser and
none of them are a good idea. LOL..see the difference? The key to the
difference in extremes lies in a person's heart. You are OK with
being a misogynistic jerk? Well, alrighty then, surf away. Hope your
spyware is up to date. However, if you do discover something less
than savory out about yourself under Moon/Pluto, you can certainly
change if you want.
Here's the thing though. Under Venus in
Gemini, we want things to be light and airy. We want to have fun and
chat it up with our friends. But, under a Capricorn Moon in harsh
aspect to some heavy hitters in the sky, we need to go deep and stop
just grazing the surface. We've got heavy emotional lifting to do
while our hearts are more inclined to do otherwise. We don't want to
stare deeply into the subsurface abyss. But, that's exactly what we
need to do.
Our Last Quarter Moon (11:45 PM) pits a
stern Capricorn Moon (inner parent) against a fiery Aries Sun (inner
child). There is a need to accomplish something but the solar drive
wants to get out and enjoy this Saturday. Here, again, we are called
to appease both masters. Work hard then play harder! Put your head
down and plow through what needs to be done and then give yourself a
break...a reward for sticking out the harshness found in the meat of
the day. Besides, Sunday is geared much more toward relaxation and
socialization as the Moon shifts from Capricorn to Aquarius and Mars
is cushioned by a sextile to Neptune. Push through today with your
excavations. Know that the energy will likely be tight but you'll
feel better if you accomplish something and work to take care of your
responsibilities. Then, tomorrow, with all the boxes on your to-do
list checked off, you can appease your desire to flit around more
effectively.
