We begin this week in a pressure cooker of Cardinal squares that are triggering the waning but still potent Pluto/Uranus square. Mercury turns retrograde in Taurus on Sunday, joining Jupiter, Saturn and Venus which are also retrograde right now. The pressure peaks along with the Libra-Aries Full Moon (21° Libra/Aries 11:08 PM PDT) on Monday when there seem to be strong imperatives to make decisions in an incredibly indecisive atmosphere. [...]
This week steadily builds in intensity as we head toward next week's Full Moon on Monday, April 10th (11:08 PDT 21° Libra/Aries). Although the Uranus-Pluto square is now waning, it is strongly triggered by the Sun, Moon and Jupiter, producing more dramatic shifts brought on by a surprising series of crisis-driven events. Many of these shifts are likely to be felt on a deeply personal level, due to the long arc of the Venus/Saturn square. Communication feels chaotic and haphazard as we try to articulate a new sense of independence — it may seem like we're trying to describe the indescribable. [...]
Monday's 'Spring New Moon' in Aries (7:28 PM 7° Aries) sets the tone for the week, offering both energy and determination. The growth cycle begins and seeds are planted, both tangibly and spiritually. Of course, the Aries energy could make it a little difficult to stay focused (follow-through isn't exactly one of the basic traits the sign is known for). Our awareness is stretched and expanded as we continue the ongoing process of unwinding our belief structures from others and we are challenged to define where we stand personally. At the same time, we are also encouraged to [...]
This week's waning Moon does not dampen the high energy of the Spring Equinox on Monday. However, the pace is likely to be slower than the energy levels suggest. We'll need to channel all of the energy into foundation-building and seek to transcend any of the potential frustrations. The week begins and ends with some strong Piscean energy, which brings inspiration and compassion. Pisces also offers a powerful capacity to just let go and ride on the waves of the Universe, rather than pushing too hard in any one particular direction. [...]
This week begins with a Full Moon (7:53 AM PDT 22° Virgo/Pisces). The restricting square to Saturn that begins to develop with the Virgo/Pisces Full Moon creates the set-up for a significant feeling of constraint during most of the week. Essentially, the Virgo/Pisces Full Moon demands a significant clean-up. While the work that is required may be obvious, the difficulty that we face is that we don't seem to be able to clearly articulate our personal need for proper recognition or approval for our efforts.
