The Energy Shifts

This week another planet goes retrograde and there’s another Eclipse. You will feel the energy shift and it’s trying to send you in a new direction.  What you do with the shift and the direction it sends you is up to you.

Pluto stations to go retrograde in the sign of Aquarius on May 1 at 1:09 pm.  Pluto will be retrograde until October 10 and will retrograde back into the sign of Capricorn in June.  It’s going to be time to re-examine the darkness of Pluto.  Are there still shadows that you need to look at.  You have a couple of opportunities to look at what you’ve been working on since 2008.  Look at the world since 2008, so much has changed.  Has it changed for the better?  Depends on how you look at it, but I think most would agree that the dark side of people has been exposed.  There’s no going back and hiding under a rock, but there is the option to do the work and see if the world can be a little bit better.  The work is never easy, but it’s the only way to truly grow as a person and as a community.  Which path do you want to take?

The Sun in Taurus conjuncts Mercury in Taurus on May 1 at 7:28 pm.  What do you value?  The sun and Mercury are shining a light on those things that you value.  Is what you value, how you spend the majority of your time?  If it isn’t, do you need to make some changes to either your values or how you spend your time?  The choice is yours.

Venus in Gemini will square Neptune in Pisces on May 4 at 1:40 pm.  Venus is looking to have a conversation about your spiritual side.  Are you looking to engage in that conversation or are you looking to avoid it altogether?

The Lunar Full Moon Eclipse in Taurus and Scorpio is on May 5 at 1:34 pm.  This is the last eclipse in the Taurus-Scorpio access and then the nodal access will shift this summer.  This is the end point for something that began about 18 months ago.  A chapter is ending.  How you respond to the end of this chapter is up to you.  The end could be big or it could be small, it depends on you.  Have you done the work or have you been insisting that nothing is wrong? 

Remember to take some time for yourself this week.  Do something fun or relaxing.  When the energy shifts are big it can be challenging to get a good night’s rest.  Do your best and remember to be kind.  Everyone else is experiencing the same energy as you, but in maybe a slightly different way.  The world could use a little more kindness.

Are You Outside of Your Comfort Zone Yet?

How’s the eclipse energy been treating you? Last week may have been a game-changing week for you. Either way there is something that you’re supposed to be learning right now, Are you learning it? If you’re not you may be pushed outside of your comfort zone this week.

Some of us only need a little tap, others need a push and some need an all-out shove to move in a different direction. There’ve been times when I needed an all-out shove. Getting fired was a shove. I wasn’t making the decisions or changes that were required in my life. I was trying to be selective in what I changed, but I was meant to go in a different direction in a big way. I had spent a good portion of my life playing small and that was no longer an option. That doesn’t mean that I don’t still play small on occasion. Just like you, I’m a work in progress.

This week, there’s only one hard aspect that I’m going to address this week, and its when Mars in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries on April 27 at 9;34 am. This is when the universe gives you a push and maybe a shove to make a change. Step outside of your comfort zone and do something different. It’s easy to stay at home and hope that the world comes to your door, but it’s unrealistic. Change happens when you step outside. Life happens when you try something new. Life doesn’t change when you follow the same routine. You’re meant to be the best you that you can be. There will be days where you stumble and fall, but get back up and try again. Nobody gets it right on the first try. Just give it a try and see what happens.

Review and Reform

It’s an eclipse week, the Sun changes signs and Mercury goes retrograde!  Oh boy.  Things are about to get interesting.

The solar eclipse happens at 29 degrees Aries on April 19 at 9:13 pm, just a few hours before the Sun moves into the sign of Taurus.  You’re wrapping up a story from October and November and beginning a new chapter.  This is the last set of eclipses before the Nodes change signs this summer.
 
The Sun enters Taurus on April 20 at 4:14 am.  The sign of Taurus likes things to be calm, steady, and stable, but rarely does life regularly take that course.  Life has twists and turns and things change, none of which are things that Taurus likes.  The good news is that Taurus can be patient and determined, which could come in handy as life throws you curve balls.  Try to be open to what curve balls have to tell you.
 
The Sun in Taurus will square Pluto in Aquarius a few hours later at 12;27 pm.  What is good for you versus what is good for the collective?  Are they at odds?  If they are, truly think about it.  You may be surprised that with a little tweak here or there, it could work for both parties.
 
Mercury stations to go retrograde on April 21 at 4:35 am.  Mercury is already in its shadow period, so you may have been noticing the technological glitches have already begun.  All the retrogrades are in earth signs this year.  What do you need to create a sturdy foundation in your life?  Retrogrades have a tendency to keep pushing the envelope, they want you to think differently.  If you’d go left, go right.   You have a few weeks.  Take this retrograde period as an opportunity to review and reform your foundations.

Take A Chance

Aries season can be one of impulsivity, but that might now always be a bad thing.  When the Sun conjuncts Jupiter this week, it could just work to your advantage.

Venus this week enters the sign of Gemini on April 11 at 12:47 am.  Venus is going to enjoy talking things out and writing.  You may want to be more social than usual and ask lots of questions.  However, Gemini is also the sign of duality, so remember there could be another side to things or they could come in twos.
 
The Sun in Aries also conjuncts Jupiter in Aries on April 11 at 6:07 pm.  Jupiter expands whatever the Sun is shining a light on.  This may be a time to try something new or act in a way that you might not normally do.  Take a chance this week.  There is a tendency to think that by trying something new, the worst is always going to happen, but sometimes everything you want is on the other side of trying.  Don’t let fear hold you back.  Become a warrior and seek what you want.
 
Venus in Gemini will square Saturn in Pisces on April 14 at 12:38 pm.  Venus may feel a little restricted by Saturn.  She may not feel quite like herself or talk quite as much.  You feel stuck in your head and like you just feel adrift.  Remember it’s a transit and it’s temporary.
 
The energy has been challenging the last few weeks.  There is a kind of push-and-pull dynamic going on.  You may feel like you’re constantly taking two steps forward and one step back, but eventually, you will arrive at your destination.  Keep going and take chances.  Life is meant to be lived.

Productive Until You Aren’t

Mercury changes signs this week and communication should become clear and concise, but will it?

Mercury moves into the sign of Taurus on April 3 at 12:22 pm.  Taurus is the sign of calm, stability, and patience, but if you look at the shadow side of Taurus it can also be materialistic, possessive, and stubborn.  Taurus isn’t represented by the bull for no reason at all.  So communication should become clear and concise while it resides in the sign of Taurus, but will it?  Taurus can be a determined sign but will that work to your advantage?
 
Mercury has its first aspect after switching signs a couple of hours later.  Mercury will square Pluto in Aquarius at 2:55 pm.  This is Mercury and Pluto’s first meeting since both planets changed signs.  They’re coming up with a new game plan.  Once the plan and your focus have been decided, Mercury will begin to distribute the plan to all of the other planets.  Aquarius is a sign that is focused on the community and technology, but it can also be one that is forward-thinking.  What are you thinking ahead towards?
 
The last significant aspect of the week is the Sun in Aries Conjunct Chiron in Aries on April 5 at 6:18 pm.  The Sun in warrior mode meets the wounded healer.  What healing do you still need to focus on?  There is something that you still need to heal in order to move forward with your goals in life.  This is the time to examine those inner wounds and see if you can make a little progress in healing them.
 
Remember this week that it can seem like your life should be this way.  Everything could be lining up one moment, and your plan is off the rails the next.  It’s ok.  Life’s journey isn’t a straight line, there are twists and turns.  Go with the flow and see what happens as a result, but keep in mind that productivity is still important.  You want to accomplish things!  Don’t stop when you’re just about to cross the finish line.
