Saturday, April 17th, the Moon travels through Gemini as the day begins. Luna does go void-of-course at 10:03 AM but she enters Cancer at 2:25 PM and is no longer void-of-course. This is a busy, busy day. We have been building this energy all week and we are feeling the full effects of it! Mercury, our planet of communications, organizing skills, and business savvy; is very active today. That could mean problems with roadways, the internet, and the smooth flow of information.
Mars trine Jupiter, 12:14 AM: This is a very active planetary aspect that helps with courage, commitment, follow through, and setting lofty goals. This aspect will help with tough negotiations, giving your extra energy to push on, and opening up your mind to a whole new set of ideas and solutions. This aspect also helps with international businesses, investing in foreign currencies, and reaching agreements between warring parties. This aspect helps with vacation planning, education goals, publishing and writing endeavors, and promoting your services. This is a very positive aspect that has been in play for the last 10 days and will continue to be effective for the next 10 days. Be careful that you don’t overload your schedule with too many fun things to do!
Moon sextile Mercury, 6:05 AM: This lunar aspect adds to the already busy morning. If you are up, you are ready to get your day started. Some meditation or morning walk can really help to getting your day centered.
Moon trine Jupiter, 6:53 AM: Such a positive aspect, we see only the potential of goodness in our day. Keep your plans realistic. A good morning for writing or connecting with friends.
Moon conjunct Mars, 7:08 AM: We get a big boost of energy with this aspect that helps us to personalize our day. We are aware of how the world affects us and we are taking it more personally. This could be a great time for a workout, a test of your endurance, stating your point of view. This can be an edgy time for many, and people are likely to let their anger out instead of channeling it in a positive direction. Be careful out there on the roadways! We are more courageous and ready to put our plans into action.
Moon sextile Sun, 10:03 AM: Ah, let put a little sugar on it! We get a break from the intensity of the day. We are looking for a lighter approach and avoiding getting sucked into the drama pit.
The Moon at 10:03 AM is now void-of-course in Gemini until 2:25 PM when Luna enters Cancer, the sign of family and genetics, and is no longer void-of-course.
Mercury sextile Jupiter, 11:00 AM: The next series of planetary aspects all involve Mercury, our communicator and organizer. With each of these Mercury aspects, they all have been in play for the last 6 days and will continue to be strong for the next 6 days. This makes for an intense time of planning, thinking, arranging, and putting new ideas and projects into motion. With Jupiter, we are open-minded, expanding our awareness and environment, and looking to future endeavors to continue our personal growth. This aspect will help with improving bad habits, expanding your social media footprint, and your writing skills. This aspect opens up possibilities that you may have overlooked in the past. This keeps our brain active and may make it harder to sleep very soundly. The “active brain” idea continue through with the other two following aspects.
Mercury sextile Mars, 2:09 PM: We will want to find a way to utilize this boost of energy that this planetary aspect gives us. Our mind is quicker than usual which may improve our timing on when and how to act or respond. We feel that we have more choices that suit our needs and desires. This aspect is also best for updating office equipment, improving health and exercise routines, looking at new cars, taking classes to improve your skills, getting rid of the piles around the house, and helping to define the more important goals in your life. We are quick to respond and to defend ourselves if necessary. This aspect can really help us with taking care of projects we have been putting off! Another good aspect to keep us motivated but not restful.
The Moon enters Cancer, 2:25 PM: The Moon enters the sign of inner security, home, and family and is no longer void-of-course.
Mercury square Pluto, 4:49 PM: And now with the final Mercury aspect of the day, we are ready to take out the garbage. This aspect amplifies our abilities to see subtle details that show where the crack are! On a personal level, this is a super aspect for therapy and letting go of past negative behavior patterns associated with power/control and desertion issues. This aspect really activates our “inner detective”. We can be intense in our drive to get to the “truth”! This aspect helps with research, ghost hunting, and exploring mysteries of the unknown. Words have power with this aspect, and our tongues are extra sharp with this aspect. We have the ability to get the wheat from the shaft and to know the difference. Criticism can cut deep even if you don’t mean it to the level, the other person feels it to a greater depth. This aspect may indicate problems with travel and communications. You may have internet problems, unexpected delays on the roadways, and just feeling rushed to get it all done.
Moon sextile Venus, 10:49 PM: We are ready for our treats for making it through this day! A much better evening for relationships, watching our favorite tv program with our favorite snacks.
All times are central.
