Written by Mars♂, edited by Stephanie O.
Weekly Moon Phases
April 10th- April 12th: This week we begin with a First Quarter Moon in Cancer on 10th April.
April 13th- April 15th: The moon moves into its Waxing Gibbous phase on Virgo 13th of April. We welcome this week with action, moving towards our goals, which is perfectly aligned with the Jupiter and Neptune conjunction coming up on April 12th and we may find we change our plans as Virgo helps us sharpen our focus.
April 16th: The Full Moon in the sign of balance, Libra, lands on 16th April calling us to let go of what brings us out of balance.
Planetary Zodiacs
Sun: The Sun remains in Aries, giving the collective a boost of confidence, drive, and faith in ourselves as we charge forward into Spring.
Mercury: Mercury moves into Taurus on April 11th: Mercury in Taurus likes to slow things
down. We don’t want to rush our decisions and may find ourselves unmovable once
we have made our minds up.
Venus: Planet of love and values, Venus, moved into Pisces on April 5th: Venus is exalted in
Pisces means they are happy in Pisces. Venus in Pisces is romantic, so you may
want to use this energy to express how you feel.
Mars: Planet of action Mars joins Venus in Pisces on April 14th: Mars in Pisces means
being motivated and driven by our values, seeking a sense of purpose or meaning in
all we do.
Key Aspects of the Week
For those who don't know: aspects are angles that determine how each planet's energies react with another planet's. They can affect an overall chart's meaning by giving more insight into how that planet behaves under its current zodiac sign.
Mars Square Uranus - 22nd March
This rare transit brings together giant Jupiter, ruler of wealth and expansion, and the outer planet Neptune, ruler of dreams, glamour magic, and imagination. These two planets are in their home sign of Pisces (Jupiter as the traditional ruler and Neptune as a modern ruler) which last took place 166 years ago. This is a time for artistic expression whether through writing poetry, singing, glamour (makeup, fashion), or traditional art. Neptune allows us to go deep into fantasy worlds and Jupiter expands this energy. We may have to be careful of delusions or illusions with this transit, as we are dealing with heavy Pisces energy.
