It isn't easy to see any need for caution today — but it's probably there. An individual sense of identity seems to be 'in control' but that doesn't mean that we should forget about checking in with those around us. To some extent, we may be feeling that we're being given a second chance or feel that some significant weight has been lifted. Nonetheless, it will be important to recognize that the landscape has changed more than we may realize and we'll need to adjust our tactics more than we understand from today's perspective. Mars is approaching a conjunction with Neptune that will complete at the beginning of next week. It isn't hard to draw the wrong conclusions in the foggy atmosphere of a steamy Mars-Neptune conjunction. We may find that we have been misled through overconfidence or otherwise have our idealistic illusions dashed.


Weekly Summary

APRIL 21 - APRIL 27

"The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt."
— Sylvia Plath

This week brings an intense, unsteady and somewhat indecisive culmination to the high-energy lunar cycle initiated under the Aries New Moon (11:37 AM PDT 19° Aries Solar Eclipse) on April 8th. Tuesday's Scorpio Full Moon (4:48 PM PDT 4° Scorpio/Taurus) is highly pressurized — both the Sun and Moon create a fixed T-square with Pluto. There is extraordinary creativity suggested by the Full Moon but also an intense demand to purge unworkable or untenable elements. We may find ourselves feeling quite 'stuck' at times this week. We may be unable to shake the feeling that 'something's gotta give' but there a few clear individual routes available to create the sort of change that seems to be demanded. Even if we feel strong urges to 'do something', we cannot escape the increasing awareness of broader implications and ramifications of whatever actions we try to initiate, suggesting paralyzing indecision. Most of us are likely to seek some kind of 'tried and true' approach and try to avoid the risks involved with 'breaking new ground'. However, there aren't any clear precedents or 'stock' answers for us to latch on to. We may be inclined to believe that we should only embrace the ideas and solutions that are based upon what our family, tribe, or society is telling us are right. However, only our individual, creative inspiration will gain the kind of traction that is needed and yet, the stakes seem impossibly high. The general uncertainty in this week's atmosphere does not suggest many bold initiatives or action. Mars is approaching an especially steamy and confusing conjunction with Neptune which will complete at the beginning of next week. Near the end of this week, ahead of the Mars-Neptune conjunction, there is quite a bubble of optimism that pops into the atmosphere. Although, there is little support for individuals to find the kind of clear, definitive, solutions that are needed, we may actually see that solutions are actually falling into place spontaneously. Despite the general uncertainty and indecisiveness, some decisions seem to 'make themselves'. The end-of-the-week optimism should be embraced cautiously. Next week's Mars-Neptune interaction may leave us at least a bit disillusioned. Much of this week's uncertainty — that stuck feeling — is related to an idealistic aspiration to find some kind of 'perfect' solution or approach. That idealism is likely to be dashed in some way and coming 'back down to earth' next week may be difficult for many of us. Once Mars arrives in Aries, next Wednesday, we are likely to finally find the decisiveness and determination to actually follow through on the creative inspiration that seems to be just beyond our grasp this week.

A 'stuck' feeling may look like laziness on Sunday. Nonetheless, there is an urge to initiate significant change even though such change is quite difficult. Even though we feel pressed to take action on Monday, uncertainty and indecision seems to stall our progress. Overall, our path is narrowing, requiring us to pursue our individual purpose and stop trying to satisfy the demands of others. The Scorpio Full Moon on Tuesday is quite intense, producing a highly pressurized environment. Even though persistence may seem futile, few are inclined to just give up and walk away. There is increased pressure on Wednesday and we feel that the stakes have been raised. Even though we may have everything we need to move forward, we may still try to rely on established approaches and ignore our individual, creative inspiration. There is a general feeling of optimism on Thursday. Some things seem to fall into place spontaneously. Optimism may continue into Friday but there is some need for caution. We shouldn't let our idealism get the best of us. A general feeling of insecurity encourages withdrawal on Saturday. Nonetheless, we are inclined to try to 'keep up appearances' rather than open up about our insecurity.

Saturday April 27, 2024

The day begins with an early morning Moon-Saturn square and ends with a late evening Moon-Venus trine that follows a Moon-Mars square. Essentially, there is a general undercurrent of insecurity that encourages withdrawal. Nonetheless, we may seem to be compelled to 'keep up appearances' in order to cover some internal chaos or instability. The midday Moon-Uranus and Moon-Jupiter quincunxes punctuate the tendency to 'look busy' in order to cover up uncertainty. This environment is not really likely to last terribly long but may seem endless as we move through the day. Once the Mars-Neptune conjunction completes tomorrow, we can begin to hope to see our way a bit more clearly and finally establish a clear, new sense of direction.

Sunday April 28, 2024

There is a significant opportunity to make well-grounded progress today. The Moon arrives in Capricorn early (2:37 AM PDT) this morning, offering a stabilizing atmosphere. The challenge here is staying focused. The Mars-Neptune conjunction completes by about 9:30 PM PDT this evening, following a Moon-Sun trine, which may encourage a rather 'lazy', dissolute abandon that dissipates our commitment. There is a significant danger of disappointment or disillusionment, although the general atmosphere is geared towards clearing away unworkable or untenable aspirations and goals. In this environment, the disillusion may simply clear away elements that we have been clinging to too tightly — actually providing a more workable landscape to work with.


Weekly Summary

APRIL 28 - MAY 4

"Well, I see black and white and red and yellow, even green — getting together. And their weapons are shining clean — but I'm not talking about swords, knives, and guns. I'm talking about the power of God and the new rising sun."
— Jimi Hendrix, Cherokee Mist: The Lost Writings

Venus gets 'home' to Taurus and Mars gets 'home' to Aries this week. There is a sense of relief that accompanies these developments.The relief is punctuated and inspired by a precipitous Mars-Pluto sextile that completes by Friday. A quiet awakening occurs with little fanfare — a rebirth of idealism that is unfettered by the baggage of the past — old illusions and outmoded ideals. Mercury, now direct in Aries, picks up speed this week. Our confidence builds as Mercury approaches another conjunction with Chiron, which will complete just before next Tuesday's Taurus New Moon (May 7th, 8:21 PM PDT 18° Taurus). Self-doubt seems to somehow melt away in an atmosphere where we are increasingly determined to simply speak our mind. Assessments are raw and the idealism that we see emerging is both steady and fierce. Much of this week's actions are rather 'matter-of-fact'. There are surprisingly few inclinations to go on the defensive or try to protect our position — the attitude is simply "this is how it has to be". The Mars-Pluto sextile is especially potent because Pluto is stationing to go retrograde (on Thursday). The imperatives we feel to take action and firmly break with the past are determined, quiet and steady. A New Day has Dawned — there is no going back. Pluto will retrograde back into Capricorn for just about two and a half months, from September 1 until November 19th. However, this brief 'Capricorn Survey' will not have the same feel or 'flavor' as the approximately 18 year 'era' that we have just emerged from. Our perspective on the crumbling structures of the past have changed dramatically just since Pluto's ingress into Aquarius last January. We are more likely to recoil from any suggestion that we might return to the collapsed, outmoded and unworkable structures of the past. We will see even more evidence of a determination to embrace the future (and not the past) when Jupiter moves into Gemini (trining Pluto) and Mars moves into Taurus (squaring Pluto) in June. Next Tuesday's Taurus New Moon may begin to stir up some tumult or conflict that we could see culminate with that Mars-Pluto square in June. However, this week's atmosphere is far more muted and offers important opportunities to set a powerfully peaceful tone for the rest of the year's changes and challenges. It is essentially an opportunity to gather up the lessons of our personal, societal, and cultural histories into a new and novel approach to pursuing our 'future-focused', idealistic intentions and aspirations.

There is a rather lazy, dissolute abandon on Sunday which may actually allow us to let go of some unnecessary baggage. In fact, significant, grounded progress may happen quietly, without any apparent effort. There is a comfortable sense of relief on Monday. However, we may be tempted to squeeze just a bit more by using deception or manipulation. We feel a newfound sense of freedom on Tuesday. We find an atmosphere intent on exposure and a distinct search for truth. We are seeking to enact and enforce 'change' on Wednesday. We feel increasing determination to 'speak our minds'. A heady sense of power emerges on Thursday with a strong emotional commitment. A social component encourages us to share our ideas with others. There is an imperative to take action on Friday. Our attitude is quite 'matter-of-fact' with little attention paid to any emotional responses or push back. A feeling of destiny, fate, or mission comes forward on Saturday. We sense that there is 'no going back' and believe that there is little left to fight about.
