Week of secret meetings and secret oppositions.
Taurus I- 0-9 Degrees
Taurus I- 0-9 degrees: Taurus season opens up to both luminaries squaring Pluto, and Mercury turning retrograde. Taurus season, ruled by beloved Venus, is a point where the light has returned, optimism and hope is high. The shadow to hope is anxiety and fear to getting everything properly started, making sure it is correct in exchange for fruitful rewards. Like most gardens during the early spring season, they are slow to show signs of real growth. A sprout here, a tulip there, but any gardener knows patience is required to really see early hardwork’s progress.

Depending on your location, a hybrid Solar Eclipse in the sign of Aries will occur on the 19th or 20th. This is followed quickly by both luminaries squaring Pluto and a Mercury retrograde.
Aries III- 20-29 Degrees
Aries III: 4 of Wands, Lord of Completion
4.10.23 Moon-day Musing
This new cycle of Jupiter, as he begins to depart from Aries and heads towards Taurus, we are preparing our own next phase of life. This phase will ask us for endurance, honesty, compassion, and even a little salt of the earth humility. A fresh Jupiter brings in new faith, generous charity, and expansive optimism. Just as the trees are bearing buds in the northern hemisphere, we open our windows and let the fresh spring air move the stale winter fog.

Go forward this week seeking perspective, and more profound understanding. The stars are aligned to move you forward on this week’s journey.

I want to turn our focus to Mars this week, who got lost a little amongst the Pluto ingress. I think his current ingress into Cancer on the 25th, was a key move in the heavens this month. Mars who has just spent seven months in the air sign of Gemini finally exits the sign of the twins.
Pluto in Aquarius
Pluto is a process-oriented planet, which means wherever it is, it slowly tills the soils, turning it over and over, transforming the landscape, and leaving behind deep, extracted jewels for those treasure seekers.

A New Moon in Aries joining the celebration of Spring’s arrival, renewed perspective and hope emerges.

“The Virgo Full Moon closes out and we get the waning light as we move into the Last Quarter lunar phase on the 14th. Typically waning phases are good for reflection rather than action, this may prove difficult considering other planetary transits occurring simultaneously. This week does not slow down after Saturn’s entrance into Pisces and the Full Moon. There may be a real need for a call of action, but is it a siren’s song? “

Saturn moving into Pisces can bring up themes of sadness, issues around mental health and anxiety, explorations around spirituality, maybe connecting with a mentor or deepening into a philosophy. Saturn in Pisces can teach harder lessons around love, loss and boundaries. It may force us to look deeper into our own hearts and ask what is it we are seeking, and are we receiving? Pisces, the sign of mutable water, swaying more in rhythm with spirit than the mind. With the presence of Saturn, the mind and heart can feel this division, and creating a land bridge between the two is a challenge. Sometimes we need to fall back on poetry, art, music, symbolism when swimming with the zodiacal fishes.

“In your life, reflect on where has the medicine be needed. We have been considering the areas starving for nutrients for some time now, and what places have been oversaturated. Now is the point in the lunar cycle to administer the medicine that can best serve you and assist in establishing a richer root system. “
2.20.23 Moon Tracks
The cord that binds. It threads itself through humanity and connects us all together, so we don’t loose ourselves, loose our humanity, loose our love.
Mercury in Aquarius
The second decan of Aquarius, is called the Lord of Science. Dissection and rational thinking may just be the perfect antidote to a week that felt there were literally no brakes.
Jeff Buckley, Venus & Neptune
“We are spirits and the whole tension is that we don’t know that we are. Yet music is able to touch this.” -Jeff Buckley and reflections on Neptune and Venus in his birth chart.

A closing Last Quarter Scorpio Moon opens this week. The Moon darkens as she dives in waters that she absorbs more as a toxin than an antidote. She is dying, and so are the intentions that we set at the outset of the New Moon. Death is only transformation. My father always said, “Nothing dies, it is all energy. Energy just takes another shape, it gets recycled.” I like to believe he is now transformed into a dragonfly, fluttering freely in the ether.

Saturn Opposition-A Personal Reflection on a Personal Transit
1.30.23 Moon Tracks
The First Quarter Moon, in the earthy and nourishing fertile grounds of Taurus, started to test the connective tissues that bind us all together. Are we still tending to our gardens, and are we moving slow enough with enough intention to include or exclude what we would like to see flourish. Tissue that isn’t nourished will go necrotic, it lacks any blood flow. Where can we use more circulation of life force!

“Whatever you set out on at the New Moon, I would even suggest at the new year, this First Quarter lunar phase presents steady ground to support you. “
