Monday, May 4th – Moon in Libra. Sun conjunct Mercury in Taurus, and Venus square to Neptune most of the week. Solid, earthy energy today. I know a lot of folks out there are worried about money, and/or looking for work. There could be some good progress this week with the Sun (vision), Mercury (communication) and Uranus (sudden change) in Taurus (Earth sign of resources).

Tuesday, May 5th – Moon in Libra. Day to get yourself into balance; whatever that looks like for you. Venus in Gemini in a Grand Trine with Mars in Aquarius and Moon in Libra. We experience the lightness of Air. Excellent communication today – both within ourselves and with our social circle. Lots of new, ingenious ideas available to us that we can apply to our lives.

Wednesday, May 6th – Moon in Scorpio. We’re under the influence of the Full Moon, which is exact tomorrow. Avoid social complications. If you HAVE to air your feelings, be gentle and take the other person’s feeling into account. Scorpio needs to express the truth, and can be too accurate and brutal about it, so be mindful in conversations.

Thursday, May 7th – Full Moon in Scorpio. Watch out for power plays at work or amongst your friends. The best use of Scorpio energy is to heal and rebirth yourself in some way, so transitions could be prominent this week. Focus more on where you’d like to go than on where you’ve been.

Friday, May 8th – Moon in Sagittarius. The mood lightens and we end this week on a positive note. Hopefully, the Full Moon brought some deep purging and new clarity about who you are and your direction. Sagittarius brings the Truth to us, along with new, exciting experiences.

Saturday, May 9th – Moon in Sagittarius. Excellent day for an outdoor adventure.

The Saturn-Pluto conjunction has spawned a deep shift in our culture – the birth of a new paradigm. The spread of Covid 19 has created hardship for a lot of people, but it’s also brought some positive changes. We are spending more time with loved ones, working from home, cooking hearty meals, buying less, focusing on health, and healing the Earth. Interesting these things fall squarely under the sign of Cancer, where the North Node (the future) sits directly opposite the conjunction. What do your want your life to be like in the new world?

The North Node is at 0 degrees Cancer until May 5th! This is the point of the Summer Solstice and highest light of the year. The door is open for us to express our vulnerability, and to nurture ourselves and others.

The effects of the Pluto-Saturn conjunction on January 12th force us to face reality, but also reveal what is ultimately important. It will dominate this entire year. The virus is not going away, and it WILL come back strongly in the Fall, so be vigilant.

Pluto (catharsis, regeneration) went retrograde on Saturday, April 25, and now Saturn, Venus and Jupiter will be going retrograde in the next couple of weeks. This summer is about retreading ground we’ve already covered. It’s time to go within and retool our lives in order to fit ourselves into this new world. Pluto brings a deep purging and releasing of things that no longer suit us. It can mean taking online classes and creating a new career. You can do it. What have you always wanted to do? Now’s the time.

Sunday, April 26th – Moon in Gemini. Sun conjunct Uranus at 6 Taurus. Pay attention to signs and sudden revelations regarding your life path. Some good information from the universe is available today about who you are and the direction you need to be going.

Monday, April 27th – Moon in Cancer. Mercury into Taurus joining the Sun and Uranus. Use caution when communicating. Think things through before speaking. Expect revelations and truths revealed.

Tuesday, April 28th – Moon in Cancer. Mercury squares Saturn. Be aware of timing in your conversations, and owning your responsibility.

Wednesday, April 29th – Moon in Cancer. Good day to organize the house and be kind to yourself. Comfort food!

Thursday, April 30th – Moon in Leo. Excellent for public speaking, or watching entertainment. Launch a video or chat with friends. Connect with others.

Friday, May 1st – Moon void of course in Leo. BELTANE. Ancient festival of Spring. Celebrate the blooming of flowers and the green of the Earth. Be spontaneous and take a walk.

On a personal note – even in the midst of these turbulent times – I’m still here doing readings for you! I’m only booking phone readings at this time, but I have several different options and they are very easy to schedule here.

Responsibility is the theme right now. Put all your energy into things you have control over, and ignore everything else. Control, responsibility, discipline and hard work are the qualities of Saturn, and we are heavily influenced by the planet this week. You can see it for yourself in the night sky starting Tuesday; watch for the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars in a straight line through the sign of Capricorn. The Saturn-Pluto conjunction from January 12th, is a rare event that changes the world forever. We’ve seen it play out in the form of the Coronavirus. This point of the conjunction has been energized by Mars and expanded by Jupiter in the last few weeks, mirroring the escalation of cases and deaths.

With the Moon traversing the same area starting tomorrow, we could become more emotional over the shut down, financial collapse, sickness and death. Everyone has been touched by a loss on some level. We will be processing what’s happening to us, and the loss of the life we were living just three months ago. Focus on nurturing yourself and living in the present. Are your needs met? Are sleeping well? Do you have people to talk to?

This week is the dark of the Moon – it’s waning 4th quarter. Take some time for solitude and to tie up loose ends. Reflect and envision what you’d like to create in May, and begin it next Wednesday, April 23rd – the New Moon in Taurus.

Monday, April 13th – Moon in Capricorn. Mercury in Aries squares the Saturn-Pluto point. Day of hard work and applying yourself; get stuff done! Not a good day to get concessions from authority, so hold off until later this week to ask your boss for anything important.

Tuesday, April 14th – Moon in Capricorn. Sun square the Saturn-Pluto point… how do we make the personal vision for our lives fit in with this new world paradigm? You might feel the drive to charge forward, but you have to remain strategic in your actions. It’s the balance between dreams and reality.

Wednesday, April 15th – Moon in Aquarius. Focus on groups and teamwork. We are at the lowest energy of our 28-day-Moon cycle, the 4th quarter, so focus on completing projects and ending bad habits. There’s a lot of tension today, as the Sun squares the conjunction of Pluto, Jupiter and the Moon. The friction lies between our personal vision, and adapting to the new state of the World.

Thursday, April 16th – Moon in Aquarius. Think ahead to the future and your goals. Express your uniqueness and the genius within you.

Friday, April 17th – Moon in Pisces. Sweet, romantic and creative day. Nice break after all of the tension this week.

Saturday, April 18th – Moon in Pisces

Sunday, April 19th – Moon in Pisces, Sun into TAURUS at 7:45am Pacific. As the Sun enters the pleasurable, earthy sign of Taurus, it immediately makes a square to Saturn in Aquarius. This asks us to set practical goals and work hard to achieve them. Taurus enhances our need for stability, but we must continue to move forward with our plans at the same time.

In the Time of Pandemic

And people stayed at home
And read books
And listened
And they rested
And did exercises
And made art and played
And learned new ways of being
And stopped and listened
More deeply
Someone meditated, someone prayed
Someone met their shadow
And people began to think differently
And people healed.
And in the absence of people who
Lived in ignorant ways
Dangerous, meaningless and heartless,
The earth also began to heal
And when the danger ended and
People found themselves
They grieved for the dead
And made new choices
And dreamed of new visions
And created new ways of living
And completely healed the earth
Just as they were healed.

Mars (military, drive) meets Saturn (limitations, responsibility) in exactness

These are the signatures the planets are currently presenting to us. They affect each of us differently depending on where they land in our individual charts. Pluto and Saturn are effecting us on global level too, in the form of this pandemic. We have a stellium in the late degrees of Capricorn (roots of earth) … on the very edge of Aquarius (humanity). This means the “build up” of energies we’ve been experiencing over the last three months are coming to fruition – and we can see this with the pandemic in every corner of the globe.

Interestingly, an exact year ago, Mercury retrograde (weak communication) conjunct Neptune (blurred boundaries), went right over Wuhan, China. Then this December, there was a Sun/Jupiter in Capricorn square to Chiron/Black Moon Lilith in Aries over Wuhan when the outbreak first appeared. Check this out:

Sun = your Soul’s development. The “soul” of the Earth as well.
Jupiter = greatly magnifying everything it touches.
Chiron = deep deep healing of primal wound
Black Moon Lilith = the outsider or exiled. The wild, untamed feminine (nature).
Capricorn = Roots… deep Earth
Aries = the individual

Taking these placements into consideration, our planet is giving us a huge message. We are being asked to give her a rest by slowing down in our own lives, and restructuring our society so that the Earth can heal. We have to stop depleting this planet. There is NOWHERE else for us to go for chrissakes. We humans, through our greed, overpopulation and destruction of nature, have unleashed something extremely dangerous to our survival.

Last week, we had Mars conjuncting and charging up Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn. This is significant because this is the point in the skies where the Pluto/Saturn conjunction occurred on January 12th, 2020. I believe this is the astrological event that brought about the pandemic. Saturn brings discipline, responsibility and limitation, and gives us consequences for our actions. Pluto is the repressed, toxic energy in society coming up to be healed, and often creates generational and sweeping change. The two of them meeting together is an extremely rare event that has spawned, wars, plagues and the fall of empires throughout history.

Here is stuff to watch for in the coming week:

Tuesday, March 31st: Moon in Gemini, which makes us all very chatty on social media. Avoid online battles; especially because Mars conjunct Saturn is EXACT today. Mars (competition, war, drive) and Saturn (discipline, limitation, consequences) lined up together can bring a lot of competitiveness and stubbornness, or our energy and drives can be thwarted by issues around time or timing. This can bring an increase in virus numbers and projections, so don’t watch a lot of news.

Wednesday, April 1st: Moon in Cancer. Sensitive day, so step carefully around people’s feelings. Eat comfort food and nurture yourself.

Thursday, April 2nd: Moon in Cancer. Another quiet, homey day. Take it easy and avoid confrontation.

Friday, April 3rd: Moon void of course in Leo most of the day. Avoid important negotiations and big decisions. Mercury conjunct Neptune in Pisces makes communications go in circles and facts slip through our fingers. Lay low and focus on your own stuff.

Saturday, April 4th: Moon void in Leo most of the day, into Virgo early afternoon. Clean house and do ART. Be creative. Venus, newly in Gemini, will trine Saturn in Aquarius bringing some beauty to our home confinement. Jupiter conjunct Pluto is exact today as well, which could increase the pandemic numbers. Unfortunately, these two planets will be in close proximity in the sky for the rest of the year, which could fuel the pandemic for much longer than predicted. Please be patient and STAY HOME!!
