This Week’s sky - 04/15/2024
Blast Wave
April 15th through April 21st
You can enhance your understanding by applying the Houses these signs and Planets are falling into in your Natal Chart. I am happy to help you with figuring that out, at no cost to you— just shoot me an email!!
Mercury Conjunct Chiron: This aspect perfected at the end of last week. It will link the wounded nature with the mental and manual faculties. So for instance, how a daily routines are shaped by insecurities; how heavily someone prioritizes physical fitness or time to put on make up. This is currently being shifted with Mercury retrograde. So this is a good week to review and set intention for how the wounded nature influences how you construct your routines, manner of communication, and logical sense. Next Month, after the retrograde has ended, Mercury will have a final conjunction with Chiron to more firmly establish the break from tradition that goes on this week. More distinct for Cardinal signs [Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn]
Jupiter Conjunct Uranus: This aspect perfects on April 20, 2024 10:30 PM EST. This aspect will be more distinct to Fixed placements [Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius]. With Jupiter conjunct Uranus the collective experiences a new era between laws/beliefs and advancement/restructuring. We could see. for example, laws redrawn for the sake of technological advancement. It can also be sudden shifts to the status-quo which are more about social values changing rather than laws; these values will however eventually shape laws. There can be sociological and sociopolitcal restructuring especially due to changes in ideas or technology. Conflicts and discontentment will influence the type of growth and directional adjustment we make due to the position of Mars; a Sextile in Pisces. Mars states that our unconscious fears may manifest negatively, or at least on the basis of self-preservation, towards this restructuring. Be aware of how fear impacts beliefs and how a shift in beliefs can impact the infrastructure of our inner and outer world. Pisces sense for sensitivity inflicts the sense for sensory comfort. Saturn will allow us to make more practical and long-term intended decisions, but this means consequences are more likely to set in stone. Then with the circumstances of Venus we more prone to impulsivity and bold decision-making. Mercury being Retrograde makes the entire mental and manual processing harder.
The direction of life will be impacted by impulsive changes motivated by sensitivity. Take stock of fears and the control they can have on you. What do I need to do to be authentic? What insecurities and sensitivities are motivating you? What does the heart want? Are there lifestyle improvements that you avoid making due to some insecurity or fear?
Venus Conjunct Mercury: Appreciation and aesthetic sense combines with the mental and manual faculties. With the amount of confusion and impulsivity implied here there is an unbridled excitement ending awkwardly. Be bold and try new things. Be soft with yourself and soft with others, but let the intuition flow so that you might more gracefully discover something new. Opening up or changing how you communicate. How you live your daily life. How we manage money; how we manage relationships. There is also the relationship to the self; how you talk to yourself. Just like with working with others the use of force or shame will make getting what you want harder.
Sun enters Taurus: Beginning the middle of Spring. We are in the strong stagnant heat and wetness of the Season. Respectively, it’s Fertility and Movement with Wetness and Heat. We will see the young sprouting continue to advance. The Solar Masculine expression becomes more focused on personal stability, simplifying, and finding a comfort zone for consistent steady procession forward.
Sun Square Pluto: With the Sun entering Pluto we get the First Quarter phase of this planetary alignment. A major development from their conjunction on January 20, 2024. Planetary alignment of the Sun & Pluto deal with the effects of unconscious fear, obsession, and experiences with force and trauma (Pluto) on pride, confidence, interpretation, and creative expression (Sun). You face the impact of fear on the heart. This is a good time to reconcile the Plutonian principle’s effect on these things like confidence. For instance how experiences with abuse may have caused someone to put on a strong disposition. At worst, putting on this strong disposition will attract either another “tough guy” or someone demure whom can be controlled more easily. At best, it attracts people who need a powerful leader with the ability to lead with a obsession for manifesting their vision.
Mars conjunct Neptune: This aspect just begins to build its strength at the beginning of the week. The illusions which we accept to our reality (Neptune) are impacted by the conflicts and discontentments of our lives. Excitement, competitiveness, paranoia, or arousal are more likely. The imagination will more readily effect the Martian principle. The mental fantasies can quickly escalate and inspire you. Delusion is more likely, but also the energy to elevate things in your life.
*The date ranges reflect the Moon being a majority in the given sign during a 5am-11pm EST range. It’s lovely to look at these Moon Sign Descriptions set each other up for a logical procession of life subtle developments.
The Moon in Cancer - Apr 15: Emotionally charged but vulnerable. These days are more sensitive and thus advantageous for personal time. Shedding, letting go, personal growth or release around the individual feminine principle.
The Moon in Leo - Apr 16-18: Confidence or arrogance finds its way into the emotional space depending on how the Cancer days went; true shedding takes weight off, but the opposite is wearing the weight of some shame which leads to narcissism. Good days where we need to perform or create.
The Moon in Virgo - Apr 18-20: We may feel judgemental or judged based on the recent “performances” from those Leo Moon days. With Mars and Saturn in Pisces the emotional center experiences more stress. Honestly a good day to stay inside. If that’s impossible then you strive to keep it graceful. Remember where your devotion lies.
The Moon Libra - Apr 21-23: This Moon is graceful and plays off the criticism felt in Virgo to approach the world more strategically as a response. A good set of days to connect with others.
This week’s theme is about evaluating your motivations and their impact on your life. There is a great ability to tap into a more pure sense of self-expression unfettered by fear and judgment and building skills for how to navigate the frustration/obstacles. Keep in mind how your unconscious feelings lead to subtle behaviors that attract certain situation. You really can only control your own behavior so you might as well refine the hell out of it; literally. There is a technological, spiritual, or social awakening which renews how you can meet the world more organically. Where you can better allocate your energy.
