April 25th – May 1st

Listen to Your Intuition Carefully

 

This week’s headline items: Mercury enters its pre-shadow phase on Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, and the Balsamic Moon phase begins in Pisces on Tuesday evening; Pluto comes to a halt, starting its 5-month Retrograde phase on Friday afternoon, and Mercury changes signs from Taurus to Gemini on Friday evening; a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Taurus becomes exact on Saturday late afternoon; Mars at 12.5º of Pisces squares Dec. 4th’s Solar Eclipse degree on Sunday morning.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday morning (until 6:15am EDT); Wednesday late morning (for 2.5 hours), and Friday early evening (for almost 2.5 hours)

 

Before we get to this week’s forecast, please know:

We are in Eclipse season until May 26th, so as best as you can, surrender any fears, and trust the process. If you find yourself “going down the rabbit hole”, please reach out for a session with Lia or me — we are happy to support you ==> Lia offers Readings (including 25-minute Readings), and of course, I offer a multitude of Readings.

If what you are experiencing is emotional in nature, please consider one or more Coaching-Healing sessions with me — this Eclipse season is an opportunity to process things from the past that have been long overdue.

 

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, April 25th:

Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius and VoC until 6:15am EDT; at which time, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Wednesday early afternoon. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.

It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.

Neptune is the ruler of Pisces — and it is currently in its own sign, making these next two days a great time to take a look at our inner spiritual connection to our “higher Self”, “Source”, “God/Goddess”.

It’s also a great time to allow all there is, as it is, and to go with the flow, following our intuitive voice as much as possible. We are being asked to tap into the “feminine” energies within ourselves so we can start to vibrate on a universal frequency.

Ask yourself: Is my “higher Self” asking for more introverted/inner love-time? If I tune in with my intuitive voice, what am I receiving? Sensing?

Where in my life have I become too disconnected from life? Love? God/Goddess? What is my connection to the spiritual realm? What about the “heart realm”? How could nature and/or animals teach me about those realms?

Do I need more downtime? More resting-time? More compassion? How might being kind to myself, and trusting the process of Life create a more loving connection with the universe?

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning around 2am EDT, Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase when it reaches 26º of Taurus; this is two weeks prior to its Retrograde phase (which starts on May 10th at almost 5º of Gemini).

What is the Shadow phase? The period immediately before and after a planet’s Retrograde phase is referred to as the “Shadow phase”; at these times, the planet travels once more through the degrees of a sign (or signs) that it had already passed through before and during its Retrograde phase. Mercury is usually in its shadow for about two to three weeks prior to a retrograde, and for three to four weeks after.

If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items — especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) — be aware of the Shadow periods as well as the Retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters its pre-Shadow or wait until after the post-Shadow phase is over — post-Shadow phase will end on June 18th (in this case 😉

Of course, if there is something that must get done during these phases, don’t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is Retrograde or in its Shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it’s all “perfect” 😉

Tuesday, April 26th:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Monday morning for details).

Tuesday morning, we get an opportunity to be very present, to connect with others and share a new vision about the Earth, or to reinvent how we connect with “the good things in life”.

As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being; allow yourself to intuitively share some progressive, new ideas about what is important to you, and things that could make yours and other people’s life easier on a very practical level. (Moon in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus, exact at 7:39am EDT) 

Tuesday around 8pm EDT, the Balsamic Moon phase begins in almost 22º of Pisces. This lasts until Saturday late afternoon when a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Taurus becomes exact (more on that later this week…however, feel free to watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject.

We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath, and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes, especially those that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse, on or after Dec. 4th.

This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?

Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning, an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 1:11am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on, and it will remain strong until Thursday evening. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism — we can more easilty share what’s important to us with open-mindedness, excitement, and compassion.

This connection also creates a possibility of an expansion, as we step into uncharted territory — and humor can be a great guide through this unfamiliar terrain. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more “philosophical” and open to learning.

Again, as with any opportunity, we have to “take” it — it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-29 degrees of Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn, or Cancer? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

 

Wednesday, April 27th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 12:10pm EDT (see Monday morning for details).

Wednesday late morning, at 9:36am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for 2.5 hours, until 12:10pm EDT. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve you long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust the subtle messages in your heart that stir you towards success.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning until early afternoon ahead of time.

Wednesday early afternoon, at 12:10pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries where it will journey until Friday evening. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.

Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Wednesday afternoon, a Venus/Neptune alignment in 24.5 degrees of Pisces becomes exact at 3:12pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday evening (Apr. 24th), and it will remain strong until Saturday morning. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.

We are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to “what is”, in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true — whether that’s in connection with people or money — it might indeed be “too good to be true” 😉

On a more positive note, this combination also makes it easier for us to forgive others and ourselves — we can see the divine potential in others and therefore lean towards a compassionate approach.

Ask yourself: What needs my forgiveness and higher love (myself included)? What needs to dissolve or melt away, for my heart to be fully open?

What is my current relationship to the divine? In what ways could my imagination support that relationship? What might happen if I let myself be held by the divine? Might I be able to trust life and its mysterious ways more easily?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).

 

Thursday, April 28th:

Thursday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day (see Wednesday early afternoon for details).

Thursday morning,  a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 8:05am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on, and it will remain strong until Sunday evening. Our words and our “speaking” are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time.

Our conviction and passion help us to connect and empower others. 

We are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations toward long-term goals. We investigate our own thoughts in a very realistic way and look to see what needs to be done next.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements 25-29 degrees of Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo, or 0-2 degrees of Gemini, Aquarius, or Libra? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Scorpio (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio).

Thursday early afternoon, has lots of potential for healing around family, the “mother archetype”, home, and our past in general. We may feel more sensitive and insecure about what we identify with, and around our ability to be assertive; this gives us the opportunity to give ourselves some compassion, acceptance, and nurturing in the face of our sensitivities and limitations (Moon in Aries conjuncts Chiron in Aries, exact at 1:51pm EDT)

Thursday at 4:28pm EDT, we are entering the most potent time for downloads. 48 hours before and after a Solar Eclipse becomes exact, the energies are quite intense, as we are downloading new templates at the time of an Eclipse — you may also want to watch my Solar Eclipse video for more info if you haven’t seen it yet 😉

There are some potent energies coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by them, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.

This is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.

It comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can… could you simply allow what is… to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?

Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to Dec. 4th — the time of the last Solar Eclipse. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?

As best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and feelings.

Of course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-10 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your body or your authentic Self). Ask yourself: What might become possible if I gave this to myself on a regular basis?

 

Friday, April 29th:

Friday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries until 8:19pm EDT (see Wednesday early afternoon for details).

Friday afternoon, at 2:38pm EDT, Pluto comes to a halt in 28.5 degrees of Capricorn, starting its 5-month Retrograde phase (until Oct. 8th). Pluto’s energy will continue to move more slowly, and therefore more exalted, until May 14th.

When an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us — and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet’s energy has picked up speed again (around May 14th).

During the Retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment — our ability to feel empowered from within — and with our deepest passions. This forces us to see what really motivates us.

Pluto in Capricorn emphasizes some very powerful issues that we are currently dealing with on a collective level — a sort of re-birthing of our economic, social, and financial structures – which could in turn bring up feelings of being out of control. 

We may also experience grief, tremendous pressures to achieve or survive, or other intense feelings; the more we obsess, the more out of control we will feel.

The key is to focus on what matters most to us and on transforming denser energy patterns into lighter ones. On both the personal and collective levels, observe in the moment what works (and what doesn’t), rather than holding on to any obsessive thoughts or traumatized feelings stemming from the past that no longer serve you.

Ask yourself: How might releasing “old” behaviors or patterns of self-protection, stemming from past traumas or painful experiences support me in the long term? Once aware of what they are, could I experiment with surrendering all of my fears to a “higher power” (for example, the power of my eternal Soul, my divine Self)?

For the next 6 months, we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors, or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.

Pluto in Capricorn in its Retrograde phase, asking us to step into our own authority and asks us not to give our power away to authority figures out there in the world (politicians, doctors, judges, police officers, parents, teachers, etc.). Instead, we need to take responsibility for our own decisions and the choices that we make for ourselves long-term.

The consequences of our choices and motivations also become more obvious during the Retrograde phase. It is therefore more important than ever to ask yourself: Am I choosing from love or fear?

We are invited to tap into our passion, strength, and Soul’s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul’s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”, deep down?

We also covered Pluto’s movement, as it relates to our own individual birth charts, in our recent Forecasting Forum “Eclipse Season & Pluto Station, April-May 2022”: click here for more info and to get the mp4-video presentation of the live event.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 25-29 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, Libra, or 0 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this Retrograde phase more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Scorpio (Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).

Friday early evening, at 5:38pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for almost 2.5 hours, until 8:19pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, follow your inner compass and take care of your own needs; on the other hand, deepen your authentic connection to whatever you are building long-term.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday early evening until evening ahead of time.

Friday evening, at 6:23pm EDT, Mercury changes signs from steady, slow-paced Taurus to curious, quick-witted Gemini, where it will journey until May 22nd and then again from June 13th – July 5th (due to its Retrograde phase in May). For the next 3 weeks, our thinking shifts gears: Mercury — the energy of communication — will pick up the pace of our lives just a little.

Mental exchanges and abilities take priority for the next four weeks — talking, writing, sharing, connecting to the world around us in whatever way we can (internet, phone, in person, TV, radio…). This is a time with great potential for studying and learning, curiosity and open-mindedness, and social/intellectual growth.

Make sure you don’t exhaust yourself during this time. As best as you can, keep taking breaks and let yourself see the larger picture now and again. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel the pick up in pace more strongly.

Friday evening at 8:19pm EDT, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until next week, Monday morning (May 2nd). We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.

In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉

This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse (exact tomorrow, Saturday, late afternoon).

 

Saturday, April 30th:

Saturday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day (see Friday evening for details).

Saturday late afternoon, at 4:28pm EDT, a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse becomes exact in 10.5 degrees of Taurus. Solar Eclipses are extra-powerful New Moons that take place approximately every 6 months — this is the first in 2022, and also the first Solar Eclipse in Taurus (in this particular Eclipse cycle that will be in effect until July 2023) you may also want to watch my Solar Eclipse video.

During a Solar Eclipse, the Moon momentarily interrupts the normal flow of Solar Radiation, destabilizing existing configurations of energy, and reorganizing consciousness to a higher level. Solar Eclipses indicate the beginning of a new experience, project, or cycle.

Eclipses usually come in pairs (Solar and Lunar), and “Eclipse seasons” start approximately 10 days before the first Eclipse of the pair, and continue through the second.

This particular Eclipse season began on April 20th, 10 days before the Solar Eclipse became exact, and it will end 10 days after the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio that follows this Solar Eclipse (in other words, by May 26th, 2022).

While Eclipse season is underway, allow for new templates to download, stay centered, and do your best to ground from within — try using conscious breathing and conscious flexibility — and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body. And remember, this won’t last forever: on May 26th, the downloads are complete 😉

Eclipses are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release and recalibration of some sort — “old” codes will get deleted and new ones downloaded — and this is especially true in connection with our relationship to the physical world.

This begins with the relationship to ourselves, our body, our talents, whether we value ourselves enough to ask for our worth, whether we are able to say “No” to something that is not in alignment with our values or doesn’t honor our body. This helps us to be more aware of how much we love ourselves and our physical experience on this planet.

The Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse, alternating between North and South Node Eclipses, emphasizing the evolutionary upgrades that are available to us during such times. This is the first North Node Solar Eclipse in Taurus since the Moon Nodes moved into the Taurus-Scorpio polarity on January 18th, 2022.

North Node Eclipses help us move towards a new exploration of an energy that promotes our Soul’s evolution. They ask us to focus on the energies of the sign involved in the Eclipse (Taurus, in this case) and work with the lighter/higher frequencies of those energies as much as possible. They highlight our ability for individual and collective growth and evolution.

Eclipses are crossroads or turning points along our Soul’s Journey. They are often marked by events or situations that signify a critical shift in our lives, nudging us to either change and grow, or face greater difficulties at the next turning point. In this case, the next turning point will be on August 2nd — when the Sun is in Leo squares this month’s Solar Eclipse degree.

Solar Eclipses, in particular, often correspond to major endings and beginnings. They occur close to the same degree every 19 years, and the last time we had a New Moon in this particular degree and sign while the North Node was traveling through Taurus was on April 30th, 2003. Although this was not yet an Eclipse because the North Node was too far away from the New Moon, by degree, this particular New Moon certainly started Eclipse Season that year.

We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — “resonance”, not repetition — so think back to the Spring of 2003, and ask yourself: Were there any major endings and beginnings? What was important to me back then? If I were to take those priorities to the next level, where would that next level find me?

If you’re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart — the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest to embrace abundance and rise to a new level of consciousness around self-worth and honoring the Self.

If you need some help with that exploration, feel free to click here and get my webinar: “Eclipse Season & Pluto Station April-May 2022”

Solar Eclipses are also a good time to go within and seed anything we would like to learn over the next 6 months — we’ll dig into this in more detail towards the end of this article when we talk about setting Solar Eclipse Intentions. Please note that setting Intentions for Solar Eclipses is different from a regular New Moon! So stayed tuned!

One major thing to note in this New Moon/Solar Eclipse chart: we have one planet in a very exalted state (Pluto in Capricorn starts its Retrograde phase the day before the Eclipse) and one planet conjunct the Eclipse (Uranus in Taurus) — both of those planets are outer planets (and thus impact the collective as well as the individual)… to read the whole Solar Eclipse article and get access to all of the Coaching questions, click here.

Because Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 5º orb instead of 2º… so since this Solar Eclipse takes place in 10.5 degrees of Taurus:

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-16 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius?  If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly; this is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo, the Moon rules Cancer)

Setting Intentions for a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process — after all, we are setting them for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just the next 28 days.

Solar Eclipse Intentions are best done 48 hours after the Eclipse becomes exact. We are downloading new templates at the time of an Eclipse, and the energies are quite intense, so we want to wait until it all settles down a little before setting our intentions — that said, we definitely do not want to set them during a Moon void of course.

Given all this, here are the best and most potent times to set your Intentions for this Solar Eclipse: Between 4:28pm, on Monday, May 2nd, and 4:28pm, on Wednesday, May 4th. Note that all times above are given in US Eastern Time — i.e., the New York time zone.

Set powerful intentions — remember, they cover the next six months — and if possible, align them with the Taurus energy!

If you live in a timezone other than EDT, and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fan-page and/or following me on Twitter, as I post reminders on those platforms when it’s time to set your intentions 😉

For more details on how to set Intentions, click here.

Saturday early evening, a Venus/Jupiter alignment in almost 28 degrees of Pisces becomes exact at 5:14pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, and it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday evening (May 5th). This connection brings a certain optimism to spiritual and creative endeavors, together with a tremendous desire for mental or spiritual exploration and growth.

This has us seeking out relationships that support the realization of a dream or connect us more fully to our own compassionate hearts. It also increases our longing for spiritual connection. Humor plays a big role in our interactions with others, as do tolerance, open-mindedness, enthusiasm, and altruism.

Something to contemplate or journal on: If everything is interconnected on an energetic level and everything is energy — even the densest of masses — might it make sense to be really conscious and aware of how I treat everyone and everything around me (including me)?

Might it make sense that my thoughts and behaviors have a direct impact on the whole energy field that we all co-inhabit? Could it potentially have a direct impact on me if I were to disregard this interconnectivity?

I should also mention here that we may spend our money on things that don’t necessarily make “sense” — but if we listen to our intuition carefully and allow for energy to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always supporting us 😉

The best areas for investment include music, energy-healing, anything to do with spirituality or intuition, and anything that requires a big-picture view or a new perspective around the unconscious, the invisible, intuition, or creativity.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 24-29 degrees of  Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius or 0-1 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Venus’s movements and aspects, Jupiter rules Sagittarius).

 

Sunday, May 1st:

Sunday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day (see Friday evening for details).

Sunday morning, an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 6:37am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on, and it will remain strong until next week, Monday night (May 2nd) . This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.

It’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 26-29 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio, or Taurus, or 0 degrees of Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius or Gemini? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Scorpio (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)

Also, on Sunday morning, at around 7am EDT, Mars squares Solar Eclipse degree (12º22’ of Sagittarius from Dec. 4th, 2021), when Mars reaches 12º22’ of Pisces. This signals a potential turning point in our collective perceptions, expectations, and assumptions. Watch for important insights and developments today.

Our direct experience is our most valuable resource, especially if we also allow ourselves to listen to the subtle messages of our intuitive voice.

How has your perception of yourself, others, and life shifted since Dec. 4th? If you really stop and check, might you be ready to trust your inner experience and knowingness a little more than previously?

Ask yourself: What am I aware of right now that would shift my perspective if I allowed myself to “feel into it”? What (or who) might bring about this shift? What might I see if I were looking at the bigger picture? What do I sense when I take a moment to tune into my heart?

 

And…

A heads up for next Monday (May 2nd): The Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 6:47am EDT; at 6:13am EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC, that will last only 34 minutes until 6:47am EDT, at which time, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until next week, Wednesday evening; in the early afternoon, Venus changes signs from Pisces to Aries, where she will journey until May 28th; and at 4:28pm EDT, we are finally able to set our Solar Eclipse Intentions. More about all the details in next week’s forecast : )
