MONDAY MAY 28, 2012

Memorial Day

MOON/3º Virgo opposite SD NEPTUNE/3º Pisces 4:46 am, 7:46 am

This morning’s dreams could rock an ocean of emotion in us. Neptune turns Retrograde a week from now at the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. 

SUN/7º Gemini sextile URANUS/7º Aries 9:05 am, 12:05 pm

Definitely Excitement in the air! People gravitate to Where It’s Happening. People remember those soldiers who suddenly lost their young lives in combat. 

FIRST QUARTER

MOON/7º53´ Virgo square SUN/7º53´ Gemini 1:16 pm, 4:16 pm

People could feel pushed or push their point of view on others. Gemini could push Virgo to go more places, or to participate in more activities, or juggle more projects than Virgo feels she can handle. Virgo could have some definite views on what’s healthy, clean, sane, practical and normal. Gemini might say, Who says? 

MOON/9º Virgo trine R PLUTO/9º Capricorn  3:16 pm, 6:16 pm

People could be drawn to a big crowd who are thrilled by those taking dangerous risks and Spectacles that rival Ancient Rome. Others will be contemplating making changes.

MOON/9º Virgo square MERCURY/9º Gemini 4:53 pm, 7:53 pm

Bickering Advisory!  Notice that Fast-moving Mercury is moving up to square-off with Mars. Mercury/Mars will be exactly square in a little over 48 hours from now, and in the background till then. So whatever disagreements begin today, they may last for awhile.  

MOON/13º Virgo conjunct MARS/13º Virgo 11:29 pm, 2:29 am

People go into action late night. Be it getting busy on cleaning and packing up, getting a late start on on the road home, or even responding to digestive crisis or medical emergency. People could be enjoying some physical intimacy. Don’t be a Memorial Day Weekend Highway Fatality Statistic!

TUESDAY MAY 29

MOON/20º Virgo square R VENUS/20º Gemini 10:44 am, 1:44 pm

People are back on the job. Venus here attracts people to her mind. Guys too will known for their wit. People will promote attractive ideas or could be highly persuasive selling cars and other vehicles. Others could feel unable to articulate their feelings or could be moody when they make comparisons between themselves and others.  

MOON/27º Virgo trine JUPITER/27º Taurus 10:50 pm, 1:50 am

MOON/Virgo Void-of-Course 10:50 pm, 1:50 am

There could be some benefits to being a good worker at this hour. People are recognized and praised. But after this hour, we’ll feel the hard-working Virgo energy rapidly recede. Get your Beauty Sleep!

WEDNESDAY MAY 30

MOON ENTERS LIBRA 3:46 AM PDST, 6:46 am EDST

Venus Rules. Dress up this morning. People want to look good and feel good, especially those who want to attract lasting relationships or those looking to get ahead on the job.  When Venus Rules--people will be good listeners, gracious, receptive and charmingly flattering with an eye to getting what they want. They shine on the rowdy and vulgar, NOT where they want to be! 

MOON/7º Libra opposite URANUS/7º Aries 4:56 pm, 7:56 pm

Be EXTRA Careful on the drive home tonight! Really Watch Out for Young Children darting into traffic! Sudden Accidents are VERY Likely as Uranus/Pluto get closer to 90º angle and as Mercury/Mars are Exactly Square in the background! Stay aware of fire danger, cuts and head injuries.  

MERCURY/14º Gemini square MARS/14º Virgo 5:20 pm, 8:20 pm

NO Road Rage! People can let loose sharp words! DON’T Match Energy with Angry People! NO Blame Games. Point the finger at yourself first before you point it at someone else! You might find that Listening with Complete Attention can be Disarming!

MOON/9º Libra square R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 6:54 pm, 9:54 pm

We are stunned by accidents and are shocked by the sudden departure of prominent people or elder statesmen. Public scandals and business losses make the news. Violent crimes, arrests and verdicts also are likely as Pluto brings people on both sides of the law together in the courts. Pluto is indicative of actions beyond the control of individuals, such as Extreme Weather Events, such as tornadoes and earthquakes, or of crises that impact many people, such as mass transportation disasters, or even Mass Actions such as strikes or demonstrations.  

MOON/9º Libra trine SUN/9º Gemini 8:48 pm, 11:48 pm

People have lots to talk about tonight. People enjoy inclusive conversations and a gracious atmosphere at gatherings.  

THURSDAY MAY 31

MOON/15º Libra trine MERCURY/15º Gemini 5:44 am, 8:44 am

Who’s up early to chat, text and gossip? Mercury and Venus will be conjunct tomorrow and people are quite eloquent this morning. Our Gemini friends will be out socializing with a wide variety of people. 

MOON/19º Libra trine R VENUS/19º Gemini 11:30 am, 2:30 pm

Venus Rules--but Venus/Gemini’s theme song is “Don’t Fence Me In!” Venus is not looking for a permanent relationship and shuns domesticity. Keep it light and be a great traveling companion when you go places and do things.

MOON/23º Libra conjunct R SATURN/23º Libra 6:31 pm, 9:31 pm

MOON/23º Libra Void-of-Course 6:31 pm, 9:31 pm

This evening, people are tired and can say thoughtless things or blurt out things they’ve kept secret unconsciously. People also can lie, lie, lie. Fear’s in the air too. Being caught lying can bring The Full Catastrophe down on their heads. Saturn plays Trickster. Watch how your unconscious mind works. It could point out faults or flaws in others that we aren’t acknowledging in ourselves. People might seek closer intimacy with special friends and others can feel excluded. Could be time to remove your center of gravity from other people and put it back on yourself and your own agenda!

FRIDAY JUNE 1

MOON ENTERS SCORPIO 5:31 am PDST, 8:31 am EDST

Mars/Pluto Rule. People are up early to tackle their agenda. They have almost shamanic intent about getting things done and finishing off the work week and getting started on their weekend! Our Scorpio friends often keep their intentions quiet.  

MOON/3º Scorpio trine SD NEPTUNE/3º Pisces 10:37 am, 1:37 pm

Celebrity Sightings? People headed for the beach? Or to share New Music? Or to go to the Movies? I’d avoid having alcohol at lunch as Neptune is Way Powerful. Scorpio reads people to see how deep they really go, especially noting the strength of their will, to actually do what they say they are going to do or not. Some could take advantage of the intoxicated, while others can find people’s dreams, yearnings or beliefs intoxicating to the opportunist. If there’s rain or fog, people are likely to curl up with a mystery, thriller or courtroom drama that involves their puzzle-solving abilities.  

MERCURY/18º Gemini conjunct R VENUS/18º Gemini 1:32 pm, 4:32 pm

People could voice lots of attractive ideas. Possibilities for the weekend. How will we fit  all the events, gatherings and activities in? Could be our Gemini friends make an appearance at a lot of them!

MOON/8º Scorpio sextile R PLUTO/8º Capricorn 7:55 pm, 10:55 pm

Pluto Rules--and people want to eliminate what (or who) they no longer need. When Scorpio has seen the field, he zeroes in on his selection. Scorpio can be pretty intense and passionate. Decide for yourself whether powerful or dangerous is really right for you. Be discriminating. Make sure where your cell, keys and exits are. Let friends know where you are and who you’re with!  

SATURDAY JUNE 2

MOON/15º Scorpio sextile MARS/15º Virgo 6:14 am, 9:14 am

Early morning physical intimacy? People could be at work on their weekend agenda starting early this morning. It could involve ‘pushing the envelope’ at the gym or hiking or attending health-related seminars. Virgo and Scorpio are often on the same page when it comes to What Matters and What Doesn’t. Less IS More. Some might have an incentive to cull what’s obsolete, useless or taking up too much space. 

     We’re heading for the Full Moon so I expect people will be out and about, especially with Jupiter in the picture late night/early morning. Yet some might find a need to go further in their personal investigations of What’s What, seeking the essence of existence, along with deeper meaning and purpose in their lives.      

SUNDAY JUNE 3

MOON/28º Scorpio opposite JUPITER/28º Taurus 2:29 am, 5:29 am

MOON/28º Scorpio Void-of-Course 2:29 am, 5:29 am

Splurging late night? Hmm. Who are you trying to impress? Or seduce? Avoid displaying any “Affluenza” late night. Don’t make yourself a mark! That goes for early risers too!

MOON ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 5:32 AM PDST, 8:32 AM EDST

Jupiter Rules. Our Sagittarius friends share their enthusiasm for their subject of expertise, their fascination with anything and everything. They are never bored or boring. Some will share their Beliefs and Convictions or their opinions and theories and try to convince others of their Rightness of them. People could hear from Publishers and Universities or even World Travelers.    

MOON/3º Sagittarius square SD NEPTUNE/3º Pisces 10:34 am, 1:34 pm

Stay Alert at the beach this morning or around pools, rivers or ponds that attract young children. NO Drownings! Pay Attention to the Tides. Stationary Neptune can put a lot of us in a very dreamy and inattentive state of mind this Sunday afternoon. Neptune is Stationary and POWERFUL right now. 

    We may encounter some fascinating personality who unconsciously thinks outside of the box, or who voices unusual perceptions, beliefs or predictions that may contradict traditional ways of thinking. We may go Way High with Expectations and then come crashing down in a particularly Emotionally Painful way when we are Disillusioned.   

MOON/7º Sagittarius trine URANUS/7º Aries 6:09 pm, 9:09 pm

Good time to go out and meet NEW People! Young people can amaze us and teach the teachers a thing or two! When we really “own our own information” we can teach others. 

MERCURY/23º Gemini trine R SATURN/23º Libra 7:38 pm, 10:38 pm

Discussions can turn serious this evening. Mercury/Gemini is a rapid-fire talker, though tonight he may find that listening with undivided attention might just pay off.  

MONDAY JUNE 4

FULL MOON - LUNAR ECLIPSE

MOON/14º14´ Sagittarius opposite SUN/14º14´ Gemini 4:12 am, 7:12 am

The Full Moon sets at dawn...and the start of this partial Lunar Eclipse will be visible in California, then over the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and Australia. Eclipses usually come in pairs. Solar at the New Moon, Lunar at the Full Moon. Most of you will be sound asleep, except those avid astronomers and photographers. 

   Symbolically, this Full Moon is about The Future--While Saj is confident in his beliefs, Gemini is confident of his facts. Yet doubts can creep in with this Lunar Eclipse. Some swept away by a True Believer’s pitch, might realize that salespeople and promoters have stuck them with a lemon. We might hear of multiple transportation disasters on the early morning news. Check out your car’s needs.      

MOON/16º Sagittarius square MARS/16º Virgo 7:22 am, 10:22 am

This morning, Watch YOUR Temper! Traffic SNAFUs or Accidents are possible, but don’t let any disagreement or angry criticism ruin your day. Or someone can say, ‘You’re Beautiful when you’re Angry’ and make you even madder! First Responders, EMTs, Nurses in action, just might take charge, when others cut and run.   

MOON/16º Sagittarius opposite R VENUS/16º Gemini 8:02 am, 11:02 am

This is a very close T-square involving Moon, Venus and Mars. Are we attracted to those with differing viewpoints? Is it an Opposites Attract thing?  New graduates might feel some unhappiness recognizing that things are not going to be the way they were in the future.

NEPTUNE/3º09´ Pisces turns Stationary Retrograde 2:05 pm, 5:05 pm

Neptune’s powerful all this week...We could be looking at slips, falls and mishaps involving water. Pisces rules the feet and foot injuries are a distinct possibility. Watch where you step! People might decide that Alcohol and Drugs are no longer enhancing the quality of their lives and that those who use them are not as attractive as they once were.  Some might find they are Disillusioned with Beliefs they have held or look around for people in groups who hold similar unusual beliefs. No Cults! Watch out for Anything that seems too good to be true! No Get-Rich-Quick Schemes or Scams! Or any “Yearning” to be among The Saved! Be Here Now.  

     Neptune symbolizes the sort of Mass Adulation of Musicians, Actors or glamourous “Celebrities” and we might reflect on the time we spend on Movies or TV shows like ‘American Idol’ or ‘Dancing With The Stars’ instead of working our own talents. Neptune turns Direct again on November 11th. Did someone say, Infatuation?  

R VENUS/16º Gemini square MARS/16º Virgo 5:29 pm, 8:29 pm

Mercury Rules both Venus and Mars. People might discover each other’s minds and interests this evening. They might analyze each other’s viewpoint and information and while there’s an attraction, not to mention some competition, keep things on a friendly Platonic basis without cultivating major expectations.    

MOON/23º Sagittarius sextile R SATURN/23º Libra 6:23 pm, 9:23 pm

Even Saj tones down his enthusiasm to adapt to a quieter atmosphere or to elderly or difficult people, but future-oriented Saj might have to cultivate the patience to listen to stories from “the olden days” or about problems or issues from the past.  

MOON/23º Sagittarius opposite MERCURY/23º Gemini 10:08 pm, 1:08 am

Late night phone calls? Are we up late checking our emails? Or writing in our journals about our weekend? More Later--And I’ll see YOU Dancing with the Planets! Moving with the Energy Flow on The Big Spin!  --Michelle Sura.  Check out:   http://dwtp.livejournal.com

A Guide to The View on The Big Spin

MONDAY MAY 21, 2012

MOON/7º Gemini sextile URANUS/7º Aries 7:13 am, 10:13 am

This morning, the resilience of youth might mock us! Where do kids get such fantastic energy? They are Excited by Multiple Possibilities! Did someone say, Field Trip? 

     We are just past Sunday’s Gemini New Moon/Solar Eclipse, which may explain the haste and errors you might catch in this column...

MOON/11º Gemini square MARS/11º Virgo 2:17 pm, 5:17 pm

No Road Rage.  Those who had a big weekend, especially Sunday night, might feel their energy tank mid-afternoon. People can fight about What’s Actually Do-able and What’s Not. Could be a Reality Check about Time, Effort and Costs needed to implement any one of Gemini’s Big Ideas. Or, a dispute over What’s Proper, Healthy, Normal or Acceptable. Or about Who’s Cut-and-Run? And, Who’s stuck with the chores? People hopefully can agree to disagree, if all else fails. Tonight, check out that New Crescent Moon in the west right at sunset that lets us know the Dark-of-the-Moon is really O-ver! 

MERCURY/25º Taurus conjunct JUPITER/25º Taurus 10:58 pm, 1:58 am

With Mercury/Jupiter powerfully in the background this evening, expect a Major Talk-a-thon! Our Mercury/Taurus friends could speak more confidently about the success they’ve had. They own their own feelings and feel how they feel. We could hear some Good News tonight, people will think hard about where they invest their capital or a windfall. People could get Good News about Job Applications! 

TUESDAY MAY 22

People are getting On The Road or planning the Memorial Day Weekend ahead. 

MOON/23º Gemini conjunct R VENUS/23º Gemini 2:24 pm, 5:24 pm

Eloquence? Or hackneyed B.S.? We’ll see the New Moon and Venus making a pretty picture in the west after sunset. Venus and Saturn are still holding within 1º of trine (120º). And, I imagine that some might be polishing their manners, practicing the little courtesies that get them invited back again. 

MOON/23º Gemini trine R SATURN/23º Libra 3:51 pm, 6:51 pm

MOON/23º Gemini Void-of-Course 3:51 pm, 6:51 pm

If anyone is adaptable or a great traveling companion in difficult circumstances, it has to be Gemini, who can make delays or trying situations that much more civil or pleasant with his awareness and good manners. We might discern that the outgoing Gemini energy is starting to ebb. Some will feel the need to go process an Information Overload and some simply will feel talked out. Many want to recharge will be searching for more emotional depth.  

WEDNESDAY MAY 23

MOON ENTERS CANCER 4:31 am PDST, 7:31 EDST

The Moon Rules. Women are not only a Presence but a Force. All of us will take our cues from women today. People could feel like their feelings are written all over them, making some feel quite insecure. We might make the time to get with ourselves and our honest and authentic feelings. Today, tomorrow and the first part of Friday, our concerns will lie with our families, parents and children, with our homes and gardens. We could be fascinated by family history and heirlooms and antiques. 

MOON/3º Cancer trine NEPTUNE/3º Pisces 10:43 am, 1:43 pm

This morning, music could help us accomplish the household chores more easily. Ladies, best avoid any variety of “Mother’s Little Helper.” 

SUN/3º Gemini square NEPTUNE/3º Pisces 1:57 pm, 4:57 pm

Could be an All Day Mush-Mind Advisory! For One Day Only, people might be confronted with some kind of a choice -- the path of least resistance indulging in alcohol or drugs, OR they might feel the need to connect with their higher self and reflect on how they actually feel about themselves, how far they’ve come and where they’re going. We might ask ourselves what our purpose is in life and how well have we fulfilled it. Could be an excellent time to talk to The Universe, praise the majesty of creation and listen to the ocean inside of you and feel the Oneness. 

MOON/7º Cancer square URANUS/7º Aries 7:30 pm, 10:30 pm

Accidents just happen. Young people might have sudden outbursts or get carried away by their excitement. Children might have mishaps. A Teachable Moment? We’re entering a New Fire Season and Mom might find this a good time to review what the family emergency contingency plan is. With Sun/Neptune we may feel scattered or unprepared. 

     This Uranus/Pluto square we’ve been watching seems like a one-two punch that the Moon has been setting off weekly. The “empty” corner of this T-square is Libra. Even though R Saturn/Libra is 15º ahead, as the Moon comes around to it on Friday, it’s part of the big picture. Saturn makes us consider consequences, if lessons are not learned. 

MOON/9º Cancer opposite R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 10:34 pm, 1:34 am

We could be shocked by disasters we see in the news. War, Violent Crime, Extreme Weather Events, Forest Fires, Economic Losses, Theft, Scandal which impacts many lives. The sudden departure of prominent individuals or elder statesmen also might be in the news. The Big Wheel turns and we reach out to those who have had the rug pulled out from under them.  

THURSDAY MAY 24

MOON/11º Cancer sextile MARS/11º Virgo 3:59 am, 6:59 am

Someone could feel amorous in the small hours of the morning. Others will be up early to get organized for the day ahead. 

MERCURY ENTERS GEMINI 4:12 am, 7:12 am

At Last! Mercury is back in its own airspace, where Mercury Rules and thinking and planning is not such hard work. Our minds wake up, our memories are sharper and our speech is rapid fire! We’re hungry for new information and devour it. People are talking--about what their peers and friends, brothers and sisters are doing, about summer plans and vacations, about moving, changing schools or jobs, and they will be talking about cars and vehicles of all kinds. Mercury is going to positively zoom through Gemini in two weeks, moving about 2 degrees a day, exiting on June 7th, when it enters Cancer. 

FRIDAY MAY 25

MOON/23º Cancer square R SATURN/23º Libra 2:44 am, 5:44 am

Asleep At The Wheel? Hope not. Tired people could say some thoughtless things quite unconsciously. Or blurt out things they shouldn’t. Fear and Lying could come up too. No one likes being lied to. Be quick to apologize, sincerely and profusely and recognize that when people lose trust in you, it will take a whole lot of work to restore their good will.

MOON/26º Cancer sextile JUPITER/26º Taurus 7:34 am, 10:34 am

MOON/26º Cancer Void-of-Course 7:34 am, 10:34 am

This morning, people can be appealing and generous. The Cancer Moon is Void-of-Course most of the work or school day. People could be tired of staying home and might be looking forward to GOING OUT! But--while the Cancer Moon’s Void-of-Course, avoid starting new things or shopping. People can experience frustration and achieve mixed or unanticipated results and purchases might not bring us the satisfaction for which we had hoped. Instead, look to see what you can finish.  

MERCURY/3º Gemini square NEPTUNE/3º Pisces 2:38 pm, 5:38 pm

First Sun/Neptune squared-off, now Mercury/Neptune. DUI Advisory? Foot-in-Mouth Warning? People we meet could be Intoxicating. Or just plain Toxic?  What we say or write when we’re stoned or drunk might not be as good as we thought. Some could feel misunderstood. Some will express compassion and sympathy, other will express their yearning for some world that’s not our own. Consider your audience carefully if you want to talk about your beliefs in the supernatural. 

MOON ENTERS LEO 3:11 pm PDST, 6:11 pm EDST

The Sun Rules. There’s a Performer inside all of us trying to get out-- when the Moon is in Leo! We’re up for entertaining others and being entertained too! Did someone say, FUN? Our Leo friends Love to Play!  Leo defines who and what he is to others--and so do we. He trusts himself or herself and believes First Instinct, Best Instinct. A Leader, who gathers people together with his personal magnetism, Leo is looking for recognition and affection, and knows that to get those, you first must give them to others. He is loyal to his friends and expects loyalty from them.    

MOON/4º Leo sextile MERCURY/4º Gemini 10:32 pm, 1:32 am

Even those in power listen to gossip, news, the talk on the streets. The pollsters are out counting heads. There’s Mercury All Over The Place this weekend. People are likely to be not only sharing information on that Big Facebook Xerox machine, but they will also be expressing themselves in eloquent prose. They will be into Going Places, talking Cars and Road Trips.

SATURDAY MAY 26

MOON/5º Leo sextile SUN/5º Gemini 1:41 am, 4:41 am

Did someone say Late Night Talk-a-thon?  

MOON/7º Leo trine URANUS/7º Aries 5:44 am, 8:44 am

Going New Places to meet New People? Everyone is “Out and About” looking “To See and Be Seen!”  Children’s activities, sports, contests and gatherings of all kinds will fill our Saturday!

SUNDAY MAY 27

Shavuot/Whit Sunday/Pentacost

SUN/6º Gemini conjunct MERCURY/6º Gemini 4:20 am, 7:20 am

Getting on the road early this morning? People are making travel plans. Others will be busy expressing their feelings, writing down their impressions in their journals

MOON/21º Leo sextile R VENUS/21º Gemini 6:57 am, 9:57 am

The Leo Moon finds the Midpoint between the now separating Venus/Saturn trine. While there’s some wit from Cultural Mavens, there’s also the familiar usual rap, the memes we keep repeating.   

MOON/23º Leo sextile R SATURN/23º Libra 11:07 am, 2:07 pm

We make a point of giving our full attention to the elderly or those with problems.

MERCURY/7º Gemini sextile URANUS/7º Aries 4:37 pm, 7:37 pm

It’s likely you will share your news, your writing, your poems, your rap electronically.  People definitely share what excites them!

MOON/26º Leo square JUPITER/26º Taurus 4:54 pm, 7:54 pm

MOON/26º Leo Void-of-Course 4:54 pm, 7:54 pm

Curb the Urge to Splurge for the Big Party. Some might overindulge on party food and drink. There’s also a competitive streak going on, Yet, from this hour, we could notice the confident and outgoing Leo energy starting to fade.   

MOON ENTERS VIRGO 11:06 PM PDST, 2:06 AM EDST

Mercury Rules. Someone gets a second wind! Perhaps we get one or two practical things out of the way before we retire. We could do one or two healthy things as well! Our Virgo friends will feel quite capable and organized over the next two days, on top of their to-do list. 

MONDAY MAY 28

Memorial Day

MOON/3º Virgo opposite NEPTUNE/3º Pisces 4:46 am, 7:46 am

This morning’s dreams could rock an ocean of emotion in us. 

SUN/7º Gemini sextile URANUS/7º Aries 9:05 am, 12:05 pm

Definitely Excitement in the air! People gravitate to Where It’s Happening. People remember those young soldiers who suddenly lost their young lives in combat. 

FIRST QUARTER

MOON/7º53´ Virgo square SUN/7º53´ Gemini 1:16 pm, 4:16 pm

People could feel pushed or push their point of view on others. Gemini could push Virgo to go more places, or to participate in more activities, or juggle more projects than Virgo feels she can handle. Virgo could have some definite views on what’s healthy, clean, sane, practical and normal. Gemini might say, Who says? 

MOON/9º Virgo trine R PLUTO/9º Capricorn  3:16 pm, 6:16 pm

People could be drawn to a big crowd who are thrilled by those taking dangerous risks and Spectacles that rival Ancient Rome. Others will be contemplating making changes.

MOON/9º Virgo square MERCURY/9º Gemini 4:53 pm, 7:53 pm

Bickering Advisory!  Notice that Fast-moving Mercury is moving up to square-off with Mars. Mercury/Mars will be exactly square in a little over 48 hours from now, and in the background till then. So whatever disagreements begin today, they may last for awhile.  

MOON/13º Virgo conjunct MARS/13º Virgo 11:29 pm, 2:29 am

People go into action late night. Be it getting busy on cleaning and packing up, getting a late start on on the road home, or even responding to digestive crisis or medical emergency. Don’t be a Memorial Day Weekend Highway Fatality Statistic.

A Guide to The View on The Big Spin

MONDAY MAY 14, 2012 

The Moon continues in Pisces

People could be on automatic pilot today, but the Pisces Moon is NOT Void-of-Course. 

We’ll see the Waning Moon in the predawn sky this week.  

MERCURY/9º Taurus trine R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 1:09 am, 4:09 am

In the small hours of the night, GET HOME SAFE. Beware of saying stupid, ugly, hurtful, even hateful things. Don’t make threats! People might plan and discuss underhanded ventures or covert actions. Pluto could bring The Law into it. Many are likely to express their disgust at Business as Usual.  Did someone say, “Plutocracy?” Some will talk up the need to make Radical Changes to the Status Quo as the Status Quo is not working. I hope you all saw Frontline’s ‘Money, Power and Wall Street’ on PBS--or caught it online. In many places, the Status Quo of nations, states, banks, corporations and large institutions has become so corrupt, in some places so ruthless and brutal, that people have been doing more than speaking out. Did someone say, The Emperor has no clothes?

TUESDAY MAY 15

MOON/23º Pisces sextile JUPITER/23º Taurus 2:09 am, 5:09 am

Are we Inspired? Jupiter and Sun are STILL holding tight in Taurus. They are just about 48 hours past their Sunday morning conjunction. There is a confident, if not optimistic outlook, as people prepare for the G8 and NATO meetings at Camp David and in Chicago this week.   

MOON/23º 59´ Pisces square SD VENUS/23º59´ Gemini 2:54 am, 5:54 am

People could feel some kind of Unhappiness, if they make comparisons between themselves and others. Or if they are on the receiving end of Venus/Gemini’s barbed remarks about their beliefs. I was once told by my old mentor, Ruth, that the biggest bitches are the people who are the most insecure. And they might go on the offensive to put you off for no apparent reason. 

MOON/25º Pisces sextile SUN/25º Taurus 4:59 am, 7:59 am

MOON/25º Pisces Void-of-Course 4:59 am, 7:59 am

All Day Spring Fever? The Pisces Moon is Void-of-Course till Mid or Late afternoon, avoid starting NEW Projects that can bring out frustration as well as mixed or unexpected results. Certainly avoid shopping as we might not get the satisfaction for which we had hoped from our purchases. Instead, see what you can finish and get out of the way, so that when the Moon enters Aries later on and the energy changes into high gear, we don’t have any old business hanging on us. 

VENUS/24º Gemini turns Stationary Retrograde 7:33 am, 10:33 am

In the background now, when Venus/Gemini turns Retrograde, it “appears” from our perspective on earth’s elliptical orbit around the Sun, to slow down, stop, and reverse course. Brilliant and Captivating Speakers--could have an enormous Foot-in-Mouth Moment! OR WEEK! Gemini and all Mutable signs people idolize facts. They can come up with catch-phrases like: ‘Job-Creators’. Some will say and do Anything for Money or to Get Attention. Gemini definitely links to the Advertising Industry and Madison Avenue. Venus/Saturn indicate some kind of repetition such as Repetitive Stump Speeches, Negative Political Advertisements or Obnoxious TV/Radio Commercials.  We all may wonder How Deep Do They Really Go?!? Someone thoroughly appalls us by being so smarmy and glib that they assume they can Justify Anything, or have so much money and influence (like Rupert Murdoch for instance) that they can buy or thwart any opposition. Just be careful what you buy into! As we’re heading for a powerful Solar Eclipse in Gemini on Saturday, Venus’s “Station” will be definitely in the Big Picture! 

MOON ENTERS ARIES 2:45 PM PDST, 5:45 PM EDST

Mars/Pluto Rule. Youth Rules! Young People will be a definite Presence over the next couple of days--especially Young Men. Mars Rules and they are pumped for action! Everybody wants to look and feel young--and that requires action and exercise to get strong and vigorous! But heaven help those who overdo “perky” to try and seem younger than they are! Some will act childishly with incredible immaturity and self-centered attitudes.  

WEDNESDAY MAY 16

MOON/7º Aries conjunct URANUS/7º Aries 5:11 am, 8:11 am

Expect Change! The Waning Aries Moon catalyzes Uranus/Pluto which will make us aware of disasters anywhere in the world instantly. Uranus symbolizes Mass Electronic Communication and Pluto symbolizes Actions that are beyond the control of individuals, or that impact many people. I’ve been following the sickening events in Syria via the internet for months now. Pluto is about Ruthlessness, showing No Mercy. 

and the freedom of Electronic Media in the hands of young people there and around the world is--being impacted by those in established power, especially in Syria. Uranus/Pluto will peak 6/24. Keep a close eye on toddlers this morning. NO Early Morning Accidents or Fires. Check before you leave the house.

MOON/9º Aries square R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 9:10 am, 12:10 pm

It is one thing to Make Loud Demands of those in Power with Much Anger. But quite another to offer Viable Solutions or Choices. (See Mars/Pluto below) The younger generation can seriously threaten the older established order, but the keepers of the status quo might over-react quite violently.  

MARS/9º Virgo trine PLUTO/9º Capricorn 9:20 am, 12:20 pm

Figure these slow-moving planets Mars/Pluto holding in the background all week. The loud voices and planned actions of healthcare workers, union organizers challenge the authority/credibility of management, governments, states, corporations, and large institutions of all kinds. 

     Chicago Nurses (Mars/Virgo) which planned a demonstration at Daley Plaza for Friday were furious that the Mayor has changed their route and meeting place from Daley Plaza to Grant Park...It is anticipated that many more will join in as the Nurses added one man and one guitar, Tom Morello. The ACLU threatened a federal lawsuit on their behalf. Now it seems it is back ON! 

THURSDAY MAY 17

Youth Rules. Young people are likely to be a presence everywhere! 

MOON/23º55´ Aries sextile SR VENUS/23º55´ Gemini 2:40 pm, 5:40 pm

MOON/23º57´ Aries opposite R SATURN/23º57´ Libra 2:44 pm, 5:44 pm

MOON/23º57´ Aries Void-of-Course 2:44 pm, 5:44 pm

Thursday Afternoon, we will hear many voices. Some will ring true and some will not. There’s a good possibility we’ll hear lots of chanting of repeated slogans. Partners, friends, even opponents and the competition could be off-the-wall with criticism behind Saturn playing Trickster, by showing us in other the very things we are not admitting to in ourselves. Some may encounter Fear and Lying. Others may encounter Delays, Restrictions and Physical Exhaustion, which can lead to an unconscious Foot-in-Mouth moment. When the Aries Moon is Void-of-Course, parents could be advised to expect Whining, Nagging and Complaining. And the sooner children realize that ‘No means No,’  they’ll look around to seeing what they do have.   

FRIDAY MAY 18

MOON ENTERS TAURUS 3:03 AM PDST, 6:03 AM EDST

Venus Rules. And Venus is SR in Mercury-Ruled Gemini. And while there is a nice resonance between Venus and Mercury in Venus-Ruled Taurus, we distinctly remember the Sign right before the New Moon, and in this case, right before The New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Gemini -- is when things fall apart and we can be our own worst enemy, the cause of our own self-undoing! There is Mighty Love in the air, but there is also a love of Material Luxury and Beautiful Things. Chicago has always emanated a Taurus vibe, down-to-earth, hard-working, has love of beauty and architecture, food, comfort and the finer things in life. Did someone say, Waistline?  

MOON/3º Taurus sextile NEPTUNE/3º Pisces 9:18 am, 12:18 pm

Do our dreams speak to us?  Does Music? Movies? Celebrity? TV? Do we have both idealism and compassion? Psychological Insight? Inspiration? Neptune can signify Glamour and Mass Appeal. And a party atmosphere! We’ll coast till evening on a feeling of Havingness. 

MOON/9º Taurus trine R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 9:46 pm, 12:46 am

MOON/10º Taurus trine MARS/10º Virgo 11:32 pm, 2:32 am

BIG Earth Trine Tonight! While many will be “getting away from it all” for the weekend. Others will be hard at work rocking the house Friday Night. Even in “good” aspect, Mars and Pluto can be a dangerous combination at this hour. Stay aware of your surroundings and avoid theft or violence. People could speak passionately to catalyze action and their ambitions for radical change with the chance it could go out of control with unforeseen consequences. Earthy Taurus grounds the Moon, making us want enduring stability.  

SATURDAY MAY 19

We could see the rapidly-waning Taurus Moon in the predawn sky and many just might feel amorous and affectionate early Saturday morning. Is this a lazy Beach Day or one in which we putter around the garden, or with paints or the camera or guitar. The Taurus in all of us is moved by beauty wherever we find it and we’re refreshed by nature and regain our perspective.   

MOON/19º Taurus conjunct MERCURY/19º Taurus 9:37 pm, 12:37 am

Be a very patient listener this evening. Mercury/Taurus speaks slowly and thoughtfully, sometimes painfully so. Think of the Golden Rule, if you want to be listened to and responded to, you must do the same for others. 

SUNDAY MAY 20

MOON/24º Taurus conjunct JUPITER/24º Taurus 5:35 am, 8:35 am

MOON/24º Taurus Void-of-Course 5:35 am, 8:35 am

People could feel a little burst of confident energy, around this hour, but it won’t last long with the Taurus Moon Void-of-Course just before The Eclipse. This might not be a very active day as we head for the New Moon/Solar Eclipse. Have we finished with our projects and reached completion? Time to change Hats? Generally as the Moon crosses the Taurus/Gemini cusp, we get ready to promote what we’ve grown, built or created, but today, people are likely to be much more laid back till tomorrow.  

SUN ENTERS GEMINI 8:16 AM PDST, 11:16 AM EDST

Happy Birthday to all our Gemini friends and neighbors. They are brainy and oh so charming. Their delightful manners often get them invited to the very best dinners and occasions. They are never bored or boring, because their interests are so many and so varied. They are quick study and even quicker wit. Gemini fits the definition of amoral--not concerned with moral standard and not to be judged by moral criteria. Definitely Not a Believer in anything Metaphysical, Gemini’s intellect has override capacity on the emotions. They avoid messy emotional entanglements, as they are not looking for domesticity, but for a traveling companion for as long as it is fun. Did someone say, “Detached Amusement?”

MOON ENTERS GEMINI 4:05 PM PDST, 7:05 PM EDST

Mercury Rules. On The Road Home after a Big Weekend? So are a Whole LOT of other people! SNAFU City? Traffic Gridlock? Don’t be surprised if people seem talked out. 

NEW MOON - SOLAR ECLIPSE

MOON/Oº21´Gemini conjunct SUN/Oº21´Gemini 4:47 pm PDST, 7:47 pm EDST

Do NOT Look at The SUN Without Serious Eye Protection All Afternoon! You sure don’t want YOUR VISION Permanently Eclipsed! Make extra sure the Eyes of Little Kids are protected too. Let’s look out for each other, People! This one’s being called a “WELDER’S GOGGLES Eclipse!” Those driving West into the setting sun this afternoon best stop if they are experiencing eye pain of any kind!  

     This Partial Eclipse will be visible. This one has a very wide path and long duration. The Path of Totality goes right over Tokyo, Japan, near the Aleutian Islands, My Homies on the West Coast might just travel north along the coast to Arcata CA or the Oregon Border for the Totality. Foggy Coastal Weather permitting of course. The Sun will be higher in the sky earlier. People best stay aware of The Ocean Tides as well! National Parks on a line from Redding to Lake Tahoe and ending in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the eclipse will be closer to sunset, are being booked up. 

     Don’t be surprised if people’s energy could drop significantly around this hour or they run out of things to say. Gemini Rules--personal communication, the quality and quantity of our speech, our minds, our memories, our quickness and Vision, how we learn, send and receive.  Let’s not forget that Mercury is currently in Taurus for three more days. Remember to be a patient listener. What you say and mean won’t be forgotten anytime soon. 

      There’s a large sunspot, I read, that will soon be facing earth and could cause communication or travel disruptions. It’s impact could be felt this weekend. 

      Are we making this a time to consider heading in a New Direction? Could the Eclipse indicate a big change in summer vacation or travel plans? I’d be thinking Car Karma too. Check the oil, lights, brakes, tires, papers and the nut behind the wheel! 

       I really feel that any agreements made BEFORE the eclipse will not bring any lasting value. 

MOON/3º Gemini square NEPTUNE/3º Pisces 10:23 pm, 1:23 am

NO DUIs tonight, Peeps! Don’t let alcohol or drugs be a factor in Any Accident! Some may well be trying to squeeze the last bit of  “fun” out of their weekend. Drive carefully coming home late from a Really Big Show, Party, Concert or Weekend. Unusual Beliefs in the supernatural just might get mocked by Gemini.  

MONDAY MAY 21

MOON/7º Gemini sextile URANUS/7º Aries 7:13 am, 10:13 am

This morning, the resilience of youth might mock us! Where do kids get such fantastic energy? They are Excited by Multiple Possibilities! Did someone say, Field Trip? 

MOON/11º Gemini square MARS/11º Virgo 2:17 pm, 5:17 pm

No Road Rage.  Those who had a big weekend, especially Sunday night, might feel their energy tank mid-afternoon. People can fight about What’s Actually Do-able and What’s Not. Could be a Reality Check about Time, Effort and Costs needed to implement any one of Gemini’s Big Ideas. Or, a dispute over What’s Proper, Healthy, Normal or Acceptable. Or about Who’s Cut-and-Run? And, Who’s stuck with the chores? People hopefully can agree to disagree, if all else fails. Tonight, check out that New Crescent Moon in the west right at sunset that lets us know the Dark-of-the-Moon is O-ver! 

MERCURY/25º Taurus conjunct JUPITER/25º Taurus 10:58 pm, 1:58 am

With Mercury/Jupiter powerfully in the background this evening, expect a Major Talk-a-thon! Our Mercury/Taurus friends could speak more confidently. We could hear some Good News tonight, people will think hard about where they invest their capital or a windfall. People could get Good News about Job Applications! 

More Later--And I’ll see YOU Dancing with the Planets! Moving with the Energy Flow on The Big Spin!  --Michelle Sura.  Check out:   http://dwtp.livejournal.com

MONDAY MAY 7, 2012

MOON/6º Sagittarius square MARS/6º Virgo 5:18 am, 8:18 am

Check your attitude BEFORE you get out of bed. People can wake up feeling aggravated that it is Monday or pushed about being Together Enough or Presentable Enough to go out the door without forgetting essentials.  

MOON/6º Sagittarius trine URANUS/6º Aries 5:32 am, 8:32 am

People are On The Move this morning. We coast on Sagittarius happy-go-lucky confidence all day. Teachers, Professors and Coaches have an unexpected impact on young people and they on them! Many are graduating soon and leaving their school behind. We embrace Big Changes. Did someone say, Road-Trip? People talk up World Travel. Summer Adventures! 

TUESDAY MAY 8

MOON/23º Sagittarius opposite VENUS/23º Gemini 7:39 am, 10:39 am

Watch what happens this morning. Venus/Gemini is a sales expert and promoter, loves facts. Sagittarius has belief in himself and certainty in his own convictions. 

Venus and Saturn are almost exactly 120º trine. People certainly speak eloquently, but they are also being very careful about what they say. Venus/Saturn are in the background all this week and all next week as well. Give people their “Propers.” Acknowledge their age and experience. Being well-mannered and courteous is a plus. Venus/Gemini is about to turn Retrograde. (Listen up Taurus and Libra!) When it does on May 15th, it will be exactly trine (120º positive) to Saturn/Libra. There’s a lot of Ambition and Adaptation.

MOON/24º Sagittarius sextile R SATURN/24º Libra 9:58 am, 12:58 pm

Someone older might hip us to what we’re not aware of in ourselves: Be considerate enough to really listen to others, stop competing with your audience. Be able to dial it down.   

MOON/28º Sagittarius trine MERCURY/28º Aries 6:34 pm, 9:34 pm

MOON/28º Sagittarius Void-of-Course 6:34 pm, 9:34 pm

We may feel the outgoing energy of Sagittarius do a very fast fade, as both the Moon and Mercury change signs from fire to earth tonight. Young people could look in the Big Mirror and really see themselves--see their Demanding Child is in the Driver’s seat and that the Mature Adult isn’t. Whining Advisory?  

MOON ENTERS CAPRICORN 7:00 PM PDST, 10:00 PM EDST

Saturn Rules. Fresh Energy tonight! Our concentration is excellent and we are focused on what is right in front of us--not on the wider world. The Capricorn Moon is good for detailed work. We are all ambition and business tonight. Yet, it also is a time in which people may be concerned with their reputation or their image. Some will show off their success, wealth, influence or be concerned about their age and appearance. Stay aware that people could want to create the appearance of success or of being busy and productive without actually being so. 

MERCURY ENTERS TAURUS 10:15 pm, 1:15 am

Our speech might change dramatically. Natives with this placement might speak painfully slowly, but don’t think them stupid. You’d be making a BIG Mistake! Mercury is going to spend a little over two weeks in Taurus, make a point of listening closely to what is being said. And let people know you have listened. People could be tongue-tied around a love interest. Mercury/Taurus is not likely going to change his mind about many things. And can be downright stubborn about it. During this period, there is Mutual Reception between Mercury in Venus-Ruled Taurus and Venus in Mercury-Ruled Gemini.  

MOON/2º Capricorn sextile NEPTUNE/2º Pisces 11:54 pm, 2:54 am

Someone could say something quite intuitively, even unconsciously, that’s almost prescient or rings true. Or express out-of-the-ordinary beliefs late night. Tomorrow’s a Big Day, Be Ready! 

WEDNESDAY MAY 9

MOON/6º Capricorn square URANUS/6º Aries 6:32 am, 9:32 am

Accidents are a possibility. DON’T be in a HURRY this morning. Slow down and make sure you have everything you will need today--and that you have turned off everything in the house before you leave. Let’s not have any structural fires. People are likely to be Quite Excited by the news they hear and may not Watch where they are going! NO Cell phones or Texting while driving! Stay in Awareness of your surroundings this morning!

MOON/7º Capricorn trine MARS/7º Virgo 6:59 am, 9:59 am

We get busy early on! We have the strategy and the program of what we’re going to do today. We bring our skills, efficiency and expertise to our work. 

MOON/9º Capricorn conjunct R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 10:33 am, 1:33 pm

Some kind of a Scare? You could be a First Responder. We may hear of Multiple Disasters or Extreme Weather affecting many people. Watch your purse or wallet. NO Highway Fatalities! People could hear shocking or disruptive news from governments, states, corporations or major institutions. Some who feel they are beyond the reach of The Law might anticipate the worst case scenario. We also could see “falls from power,” or sudden unexpected departures of prominent people. It could be The Cumulative Impact of numerous small choices that cause people to experience Hubris and Scandal. We accept doing what we must, while the Moon’s in Capricorn, as cheerfully as we can. People feel good about what they accomplish in spite of powerful disruptions.       

THURSDAY MAY 10

MOON/20º Capricorn trine SUN/20º Taurus 5:03 am, 8:03 am

Could be that people are up early to get things done. Some will get up early to shop for the weekend. The Urge to Splurge is Pretty Strong. With Sun/Jupiter conjunct in the background during this period, people will feel an extraordinary sense of well-being that will continue all weekend. There’s an Abundant feeling in nature too with trees leafing out and plants growing. 

MOON/22º Capricorn trine JUPITER/22º Taurus 8:57 am, 11:57 am

People feel lucky and grateful for everything they have, for what life has given them through their parentage, the opportunities and education they’ve been given, what they’ve learned and earned.  

MOON/24º Capricorn square R SATURN/24º Libra 12:11 pm, 3:11 pm

MOON/24º Capricorn Void-of-Course 12:11 pm, 3:11 pm

By lunchtime/afternoon, problems could arise. Expect Delays. We could be stunned when with things grind to a halt. Listen first. And watch how your mind works, before it comes out of your mouth. Saturn will be showing us in Others, the very faults we could be criticized for in ourselves. 

MERCURY/2º59´ Taurus sextile NEPTUNE/2º59´ Pisces 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm

Are we creatively inspired? Stay alert for misunderstandings, while the Capricorn Moon is Void-of-Course. Mercury sets off the Neptune/Mars opposition which thankfully has been separating. Mercury today, Mars on Monday.

MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS 10:03 PM PDST, 1:03 AM EDST

Uranus/Saturn Rule. Who’s Getting Loose? Who’s Letting it ALL Hang Out? People can be downright goofy tonight! People will be jumping on the bandwagon of What’s Popular! The Aquarius in ourselves might be feel highly independent about following his own bliss and can be friendly, but rather impersonal. Are we cultivating Detached Amusement? 

FRIDAY MAY 11

MOON/4º Aquarius square MERCURY/4º Taurus 5:12 am, 8:12 am

Different Strokes for Different Folks? Aquarius is a fast talker with a zillion ideas and can change his position and even contradict himself! Mercury/Taurus can be painfully slow expressing himself and is not likely to change his mind Be patient. If you are not patient, Mercury/Taurus will just dismiss you--as being too full of yourself to listen. This Aquarius-Taurus square also is “Mirrored” by upcoming squares to Sun and Jupiter.  

MOON/6º Aquarius sextile URANUS/6º Aries 10:33 am, 1:33 pm

Later this morning, we might be carried away with Excitement, when we find someone on our wavelength! The Aquarius Moon is perfect for the start of The Weekend. People look forward to being Free to Be Completely Themselves, even if that’s a little Wild and Crazy! People get definitely loose! Summer is coming! 

SATURDAY MAY 12

We continue to coast this morning on feeling an independent streak and may go off to do their own thing this morning, get in as much FUN as possible.   

LAST QUARTER

MOON/22º33´ Aquarius square SUN/22º33´ Taurus 2:47 pm, 5:47 pm

People are likely to push to get their own space, to wind down in their comfort zone, while others are talking up checking out The Latest Thing, be it Movies, Music Events, Gatherings or Fundraisers. Taurus is not likely to be sympathetic to the Humanitarian Causes which Aquarius espouses, as Taurus is more concerned about his personal comfort and little luxuries. We’ll be feeling the abundant expansiveness of Sun/Jupiter, which will be exactly conjunct tomorrow. 

MOON/22º56´ Aquarius square JUPITER/22º56´ Taurus 3:40 pm, 6:40 pm

There’s some impetus to Impulse Buying and Splurging on Beautiful Things or to make a Grand Gesture of Generosity. Or to make a display of the symptoms of “Affluenza.” 

MOON/23º Aquarius trine SD VENUS/23º Gemini 5:13 pm, 8:13 pm

Talk-a-thon? Here’s a Grand Trine in Air for the early evening hours with Moon, SD Venus and R Saturn. Venus/Gemini turns Retrograde Next Tuesday. People could tend to repeat themselves or discuss procedures Do we share information or not?  

MOON/24º Aquarius trine R SATURN/24º Libra 5:52 pm, 8:52 pm

MOON/24º Aquarius Void-of-Course 5:52 pm, 8:52 pm

Repetitious rituals, protocols, habitual  and scientific methods come up for examination. We could feel the spontaneous originality of Aquarius do a fast fade. Don’t be surprised if you feel “Been there, Done that” tonight. Do we Hang On or Let Go, and if we let go, what are we left with? 

SUNDAY MAY 13

Mother’s Day

MOON ENTERS PISCES 4:42 am PDST, 7:42 am EDST

Neptune/Jupiter Rule. Moms may want a relaxing day, maybe even to get away from it all. Some will connect with their spirituality by singing in the Sunday choir or with their homies at the beach. People make a point of getting out in nature, water attracts us. Sitting by the ocean, getting the boat out onto the Lake, or just soaking in a hot tub has great appeal.  The Pisces Moon can make us more genuinely compassionate to other mortal human beings, especially those who suffer. 

SUN/23º Taurus conjunct JUPITER/23º Taurus 6:24 am, 9:24 am

This is Another Wonderful Feel Good Morning and it could be a Day of Material Extravagance. In honoring our mothers, we acknowledge how much they have given us and praise them for it. Thank them lots and lots. Show them you notice how they really feel! 

MOON/3º Pisces conjunct NEPTUNE/3º Pisces 10:25 am, 1:25 pm

People could could speak about powerful dreams or premonitions or crazy wisdom. Admitting that we don’t know--opens us up strangely enough. We open up the reach of our minds and our feeling bodies to The Universe for answers. Call Down Your Muse!

Hearing or Making Music is on our minds this morning, maybe even seeing Movies. Some could feel quite insecure this morning while the Pisces Moon is conjunct its own Ruling Planet and overcompensate by celebrating too early. The potency of alcohol and drugs may seem Much Stronger during Pisces Moons, so watch out for the next couple of days!

MERCURY/8º Taurus trine MARS/8º Virgo 1:54 pm, 4:54 pm

What does Mom Really Want? She might want/need SOME HELP pulling it together more and more as she ages. She might want help with organization or little household projects or weeding in the garden. Look at how tight Mercury, Mars and Pluto are today, making a Grand Earth trine in each of the earth signs. People are Talking about What It Will Take to bring about a new economic paradigm in communities and what we each have to give for the Common Good.    

MOON/8º Pisces opposite MARS/8º Virgo 8:48 pm, 11:48 pm

Disagreements might be possible tonight. Mom might insist you take care of your health, because your health is more important than anything else you have. Mine does. Someone might point out what’s gotten out of control. 

MOON/8º Pisces sextile MERCURY/8º Taurus 9:50 pm, 12:50 am

We’re good listeners. We make an effort to practice Patience and Empathy with those who are slow to express themselves and who deserve to be heard. 

MOON/9º Pisces sextile R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 10:20 pm, 1:20 am

We might find ourselves comparing notes about how we feed our worst fears, while we  starve our dreams. People might have a new awareness of consequences, or the Cumulative Impact of many small bad habits, or the Blowback or Karma of past actions.  

MONDAY MAY 14

The Moon continues in Pisces

People could be on automatic pilot today, but the Pisces Moon is NOT Void-of-Course. 

Pisces is about Letting Go. 

MERCURY/9º Taurus trine R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 1:09 am, 4:09 am

In the small hours of the night, GET HOME SAFE. Beware of saying stupid, ugly, hurtful, even hateful things. Don’t make threats! People might plan and discuss underhanded ventures or covert actions. Pluto could bring The Law into it. Many are likely to express their disgust at Business as Usual.  Did someone say, “Plutocracy?” Some will talk up the need to make Radical Changes to the Status Quo as the Status Quo is not working. I hope you all saw Frontline’s ‘Money, Power and Wall Street’ on PBS--or caught it online. In many places, the Status Quo of nations, states, banks, corporations and large institutions has become so corrupt, in some places so ruthless and brutal, that people have been doing more than speaking out. Did someone say, The Emperor has no clothes? More Later--And I’ll see YOU Dancing with the Planets!

MONDAY APRIL 30, 2012

MOON/25º Leo sextile R SATURN/25º Libra 7:17 am, 10:17 am

MOON/25º Leo Void-of-Course 7:17 am, 10:17 am

We adapt. It could be The Monday Morning from Hell. We’ll feel a change from the outgoing and confident Leo energy and make our way off the stage. Monday is a holiday for Leo performers. They’re on Receive instead of Send. We might look to put away our ‘costumes and props’ and check the reviews and critique our own performance. The Leo Moon is Void-of-Course for the entire work and school day. Class Clowns and Office Cut-ups will act-out to get attention, but it might not have The Desired Effect! Young graduates are thinking about the changes in their lives once school is over.  

MOON ENTERS VIRGO 4:02 pm PDST, 7:02 pm EDST

Mercury Rules. People want to pull it together when they get home! They have Fresh Energy to Bring Order out of Chaos: deal with the mail/bills, clean house, do laundry, get groceries and the kitchen put away. We aim to get done with the chores to free ourselves up to do what we really want to do. Over the next two days, you’ll notice people are not only health-conscious, but up on all the latest remedies. Our Virgo friends feel Enormously Capable of dealing with things quickly and efficiently. They know they’re headed for The Full Moon in Scorpio Saturday Night May 5th. That May 20th is a New Moon/Solar Eclipse at 0º Gemini, followed by Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse at 14º Sagittarius on June 4th. We’ll all be in a practical frame of mind looking at our calendar, making plans and setting our priorities for Spring 2012.   

MOON/2º Virgo opposite NEPTUNE/2º Pisces 9:01 pm, 12:01 am

Escapist fare on TV?  Or are we drawing a hot bath for a long soak to refresh and restore ourselves? Some could be thinking of going out for a nightcap or to hear some music and maybe even hooking up with Moon conjunct Mars/Virgo in the post-Midnight hours. 

TUESDAY MAY 1

May Day

MOON/5º Virgo conjunct MARS/5º Virgo 1:27 am, 4:27 am

Earthy Sex? Our Virgo friends might feel quite empowered at this hour! Some could be working late. Workers are ready to Make a Statement today! Mars/Pluto are almost making a 120º angle. Protest and calls for Change are in the air!   

MOON/9º Virgo trine R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 8:30 am, 11:30 am

Ch-ch-ch-changes? Bosses could make unreasonable demands or fire workers, but workers are a real force today! Someone’s talking Truth to Power!

MOON/11º Virgo trine SUN/11º Taurus 12:34 pm, 3:34 pm

People most likely will feel good about what they accomplish today! People are grateful for all they have, especially their health and their work. People could put some time into organizing themselves or working on detailed projects. 

WEDNESDAY MAY 2

MOON/20º Virgo trine JUPITER/20º Taurus 3:21 am, 6:21 am

We might wake up feeling Abundance. Grateful for all we have! 

MOON/20º Virgo square VENUS/20º Gemini 3:58 am, 6:58 am

MOON/20º Virgo Void-of-Course 3:58 am, 6:58 am

Be careful on the road this morning. The Virgo Moon is Void-of-Course all day long! Stick with your usual routine without cultivating Major Expectations. Definitely counts double to be cheerful today and accept doing what you must as cheerfully as you can. Try NOT to start anything New or you’ll find yourself in SNAFU City! Expect frustration or unexpected results if you do. Same goes for Buying New Things--the bargains you find might not bring you the satisfaction you expected! Take time to refresh and restore yourself. Vitamins? Water Therapy? Letting go in meditation?  

MOON ENTERS LIBRA 7:04 PM PDST, 10:04 PM EDST

Venus Rules. Dressing Up? Going Out? We get ready to present what we’ve made ourselves during the first 6 signs to the world. People are looking for long lasting relationships. They may be oh-so-charming to go after what or who they want! (There’s always a Shadow Aries in our Libra friends) Pay Attention to Who attracts You, and WHO you attract! We’ll enjoy refined social occasions, gracious living, sophisticated events, and can be upset by crudeness and vulgarity. 

THURSDAY MAY 3

MOON/6º Libra opposite URANUS/6º Aries 5:58 am, 8:58 am

NO Accidents! Slow Down and Be Ready to Expect The Unexpected On The Road! NO Texting while Driving! The Internet’s on Fire this morning. People are Excited! If not alarmed. And, we might hear of Unexpected Early Fire Danger this morning. Power or Internet Disruptions?  Young men might also be disruptive.

      Now, we will be watching Uranus/Pluto move closer and closer into 90º angle by June 24,  which will highlight Mass Transformation. Change with a Capital C.? A Revolution of the Old Corrupt Status Quo and the way of Doing Business As Usual! Out with the Old in with the New? The Question is: Are WE Ready For Anything?  The proverbial rug might be pulled out from under some of us... as we watch--Uranus/Pluto come around on The Big Spin!   

MOON/9º Libra square R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 10:27 am, 1:27 pm

Disruptions? Unwanted visitors? Violent Robbers? Arrests? Scandals? Bankruptcies? Sudden Departures of Prominent Individuals? Elder Crises? Lifestyle Changes? We could hear of all or some these on the news--or we might not. Venus Rules and it’s in Gemini and most likely people are talking charmingly and speaking quite eloquently. 

MERCURY/21º Aries sextile VENUS/21º Gemini 8:01 pm, 11:01 pm

Could be some scintillating conversation this evening with Mercury/Venus! Young people delight others in expressing themselves with aplomb!  

FRIDAY MAY 4

MOON/21º Libra trine VENUS/21º Gemini 6:16 am, 9:16 am

We really enjoy the delightful company of witty people during this period. 

MOON/22º Libra opposite MERCURY/22º Aries 7:10 am, 10:10 am

Mercury/Aries can be a fountain of ideas or can be self-promoting and self-centered. The Nearly Full Moon sets off the Mercury/Saturn opposition which will be in exact opposition tomorrow when the Moon reaches its peak fullness. Mercury/Saturn can set off Fear and Lying--and can destroy trust in important relationships, especially if lying is habitual. 

MOON/24º Libra conjunct R SATURN/24º Libra 11:02 am, 2:02 pm

MOON/24º Libra Void-of-Course 11:02 am, 2:02 pm

Our energy goes down even before this Moon/Saturn conjunction. People are Very Serious and might express disappointment. Saturn puts us to the responsibilities, obligations and commitments we have toward others. We might have to put our emotions to one side in order to work. Now, the Moon is Void-of-Course from this hour till it changes signs. The socially-inclusive feeling of Libra diminishes and people are likely to seek closer intimacy with a special friend or to put their center back on themselves and their own agenda. 

MOON ENTERS SCORPIO 7:20 pm PDST, 10:20 pm EDST

Mars/PLUTO Rule. We have Fresh Energy at this hour. Scorpio has seen the field and makes his choice, eliminating other possibilities. He can be passionate and dispassionate at the same time. Our Scorpio friends certainly think they can Read others by ascertaining their strength of will compared to his own. He can help them find their niche or use them for his own ends. Scorpio can be dogged about getting down to the nitty-gritty in his personal research investigations. 

     Others will definitely be thinking of  taxes, even death. We’ll be thinking very much of our personal resources and investments we’ve made--in today’s economic climate. 

MOON/2º Scorpio trine NEPTUNE/2º Pisces 11:55 pm, 2:55 am

The Very Best Music definitely moves us to Dance! Some will push the envelope and Take It To The Limit. Get Home Safe! DUI Warning with Neptune/Mars! Don’t let alcohol or drugs be a factor in any Accident!   

SATURDAY MAY 5

MOON/6º Scorpio sextile MARS/6º Virgo 5:10 am, 8:10 am

People could be busy this morning, getting organized and getting chores out of the way. Virgo and Scorpio are often on the same page when it comes to making judgments about What Really Matters and What Doesn’t. What’s outlived its usefulness? What’s taking up space? Less is More today. 

MOON/9º Scorpio sextile R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 10:10 am, 1:10 pm

What are we eliminating? Someone having a garage sale on Saturday? 

MERCURY/24º Aries opposite R SATURN/24º Libra 6:09 pm, 9:09 pm

Foot-in-Mouth Advisory. In the background, Mercury/Saturn can indicate More Fear and More Lying or More Arguments about Relationships. We could feel Mercury/Saturn as an Undercurrent. Partners can feel ignored or neglected. Arrogant or self-centered attitudes are likely to be criticized. Silence might just be Golden after all. Listen First! Avoid making ANY impulsive criticisms, even reacting impulsively. Saturn plays Trickster, pointing out in Others the Very things we are not acknowledging in Ourselves! Watch how your own mind works today.   

FULL MOON

MOON/16º01´ Scorpio opposite SUN/16º01´ Taurus 8:35 pm, 11:35 pm

This Full Moon people will be thinking about Sex, ooh Scorpio Moon! There’s an Intensity in the air, even an almost Shamanic Personal Intent. Taurus Sun wants sex to lead to long-term connection and  family building. Scorpio might be concerned that sex doesn’t lead to STDs, pregnancy or entanglements with unwanted relations. 

From here on out--for the next two weeks, we’ll be headed for the New Moon/Solar Eclipse right on the Taurus/Gemini cusp.  

SUNDAY MAY 6

MOON/21º Scorpio opposite JUPITER/21º Taurus 5:14 am, 8:14 am

MOON/21º Scorpio Void-of-Course 5:14 am, 8:14 am

People are generous early this morning. It’s a Feel Good Sunday morning so remember that while the Scorpio Moon’s Void-of-Course--and avoid shopping and starting projects. Go with the flow without Major Expectations. What Scorpio digs up is brought to the light in Sagittarius! By this evening, Jupiter Rules. 

MOON ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 6:39 pm PDST, 9:39 pm EDST

Jupiter Rules!  The energy really changes! Just before the weekend ends! People are confident and outgoing and they believe in themselves! People go out Sunday Night! Our Beliefs and Convictions-- not to mention our Theories and Opinions about What’s What and What’s Really What-- matter a great deal to us! We can believe so strongly that we might try and convert others to our way of thinking. Teachers and Coaches really shine when the Moon’s in Saj, when they share their enthusiasm for their subject.  

MOON/2º Sagittarius square NEPTUNE/2º Pisces 11:18 pm, 2:18 am

Did someone say, Party? People could feel “one toke over the line”--or feel they’ve had one too many drinks. DUI Warning! GET HOME SAFE! 

MONDAY MAY 7

MOON/6º Sagittarius square MARS/6º Virgo 5:18 am, 8:18 am

Check your attitude BEFORE you get out of bed. People can wake up feeling aggravated or pushed about being Together Enough or Presentable Enough to go out the door without forgetting essentials.  

MOON/6º Sagittarius trine URANUS/6º Aries 5:32 am, 8:32 am

People are On The Move this morning. We coast on Sagittarius happy-go-lucky confidence all day. More Later--And I’ll see YOU Dancing with the Planets! Moving with the Energy Flow on The Big Spin!  --Michelle Sura.  Check out:   http://dwtp.livejournal.com

A Guide to The View on The Big Spin

MONDAY APRIL 23, 2012

MOON ENTERS GEMINI 10:05 am PDST, 1:05 pm EDST

Mercury Rules. And Mercury’s conjunct Uranus in Aries! We’re looking at The New Crescent Moon this week in the west after sunset. People are not only talking, but texting, emailing and communicating electronically! And they best NOT be doing it while driving! Students enjoy expressing themselves to their peers, friends, brothers and sisters. We are Hungry for Information and are glued to the Internet. We can travel--in a good book or connect with people all over the world instantly.   

MOON/2º Gemini square NEPTUNE/2º Pisces 3:33 pm, 6:33 pm

While the Gemini Moon T-squares the Mars/Neptune opposition, the Taurus Sun has been activating them in a positive way--sextile to Neptune on Earth Day/Sunday, trine to Mars today. I know a lot of you have been thinking Big Ideas. Watch how your mind works when you settle on one specific idea, someone brilliant called it The Continent Idea, then a whole lot of little ideas pop up like islands that seem equally good. We can get distracted by those little islands of alternate possibilities. Go after the original vision or get side-tracked... There was a little quote on FB from Positive Quotes/Proud2BIndian about T.H.I.N.K. T, Is it True? H, Is it Helpful? I, Is it Inspiring? N, Is it Necessary? K, Is it Kind? 

SUN/4º Taurus trine MARS/4º Virgo 5:59 pm, 8:59 pm

All Day, we have the Tremendous Physical Energy to Power Through what needs doing. Could be we have some after-work work planned in the garden? Some will come home and want to restore and refresh themselves. Some are thinking of getting in some earthy intimacy and comfort. Some will be heading for the gym. Older Athletes best not overdo it! Warm up slowly and thoroughly! No sprains or strains! 

MOON/4º Gemini square MARS/4º Virgo 6:46 pm, 9:46 pm

Uh Oh, Did you overdo it? Too Much? Beware of Raising Your Voice to emphasize your point in any discussion or argument. Avoid The Fight Club, Absolutely NO Road Rage! Gemini is likely to play The Devil’s Advocate and is likely to adopt the opposite point-of-view from any strongly held position about What’s Really Healthy, Sanitary, Sane, Normal or Customary Practice and What’s NOT! Who says? Who made you the expert? You think you can justify anything? This war of words can escalate--so T.H.I.N.K. before you speak!  

MOON/6º Gemini sextile URANUS/6º Aries 10:42 pm, 1:42 am

Young people could be up late electronically communicating. 

TUESDAY APR 24

MOON/8º Gemini sextile MERCURY/8º Aries 2:17 am, 5:17 am

It may be a slow news day, but watch out for people on automatic pilot who haven’t gotten their Beauty Sleep! People are---On The Move, their phones are ringing, their emails are bulging, people are filling up their calendars with events and activities.

People are fountains of ideas and wit. 

MOON/16º Gemini conjunct VENUS/16º Gemini 8:36 pm, 11:36 pm

Gracious and eloquent language, so well-crafted. Who’s Popular? Who’s elusive or even evasive? Venus/Gemini can articulate his thoughts and speak exquisitely about his experiences, but might not actually feel things that intensely. 

WEDNESDAY APR 25

Secretary’s Day

MERCURY/9º Aries square R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 7:50 am, 10:50 am

Watch Out, Young Drivers, wherever you are! Slow down and take fewer risks! NO Road Rage! People’s tempers explode violently! And may even lead to violent physical confrontations! The Ugly, Hurtful and even Hateful things people say will be remembered a long, long time! The sh*t we carry around could float to the surface! Young people could threaten older people. And their reaction--could be way over the top! Think of Ted Nugent’s recent threats--bringing the Secret Service and the Law down on him. Soldiers in the field--could encounter sudden and overwhelming force. People are likely talking about disasters, those “Acts of God” such as Extreme Weather, or stores closing like those in the KMart chain, or many airlines around the world going into bankruptcy and other dismal economic news. Young people call for changes in the system at the top.  

MOON/25º Gemini trine R SATURN/25º Libra 1:31 pm, 4:31 pm

MOON/25º Gemini Void-of-Course 1:31 pm, 4:31 pm

We adapt to difficult responsibilities with not only civility and good grace, but empathy for others going through difficult circumstances. Be a good listener. We accept doing what we must as cheerfully as we can. With the Gemini Moon Void-of-Course, many of us will feel talked-out, tired of superficial small talk and hunger for emotional depth and resonance. 

MOON ENTERS CANCER 10:42 pm PDST, 1:42 am EDST

The Moon Rules. We are VERY Glad to be home tonight! With a little fresh energy at this hour, people might get one or two household chores out of the way before retiring. While the Moon’s in Cancer, Homegirls Rule! We take our cues from our women friends, especially Mom. Our families, children, relations and roots take precedence over the couple of days. People are thinking of their homes and gardens along with family heirlooms and antiques.   

THURSDAY APR 26 

MOON/2º43´ Cancer trine NEPTUNE/2º43´ Pisces 4:10 am, 7:10 am 

MOON/4º34´ Cancer sextile MARS/4º34´ Virgo 7:50 am, 10:50 am

People could have intense dreams this morning as the Cancer Moon sets off the Mars/Neptune opposition we’ve been watching. Some will be quite intuitively inspired and Get Busy! Fishermen and surfers could have a great morning, so can musicians, poets and artists of all kinds. Dubious actions, such as buying Lottery Tickets, can stir up our dreams of Saving the World or dreams of indulging ourselves. Those health issues we’ve been ignoring could come up for some remedial action.

MOON/6º Cancer square URANUS/6º Aries 11:17 am, 2:17 pm

Sudden Accidents? Close calls? Upsets? Keep a sharp eye on those toddlers who can be quick as lightning! Check out any  head injury immediately, cuts and burns too. Young people want to be independent. You may hear something like: I’m not like you, I’m me! 

MOON/6º Cancer sextile SUN/6º Taurus 12:31 pm, 3:31 pm

With Sun and Moon in harmony, things are relaxed. No pressure.  

MOON/9º Cancer opposite R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 5:31 pm, 8:31 pm

Get Home Safe! The News tonight shocks us. Changes at the Top? Extreme Weather devastating many homes and livelihoods? The Cancer Moon makes a T-square out of the separating Mercury/Pluto square. Ladies, watch what comes out of your mouth. People can say those hurtful things that last in people’s minds. Or bring on a Huge Reaction!

MOON/11º Cancer square MERCURY/11º Aries 9:34 pm, 12:34 am

Oh No, not another Bickering Advisory! Mother-Daughter? Parent-Child? Do we rehash the hateful words of Wednesday morning? Young people express themselves as unique individuals. Make a point of making things right with Mom. 

FRIDAY APR 27

TGIF. Getting home early is on a lot people’s minds. 

MOON/19º Cancer sextile JUPITER/19º Taurus 12:59 pm, 3:59 pm

Someone’s doing a shop for the upcoming weekend. I would not be surprised if people plan on entertaining at home this evening. Is there a special occasion? People will be laid-back after a long work week, looking for those comfort zones on the home-front. 

The oldest and youngest could retire early this evening, as it’s likely Saturn will be playing Sandman. Tomorrow, will be a Really Active day! 

SATURDAY APR 28 

MOON/25º Cancer square R SATURN/25º Libra 12:05 am, 3:05 am

MOON/25º Cancer Void-of-Course 12:05 am, 3:05 am

Everyone sound asleep? Fear and Lying might make an appearance at this hour. Women have a way of seeing through fabrications. No one likes being lied to, not even liars themselves. Lying was the one thing that always made my Mom go through the ceiling! It’s ancient, Coyote was kicked out of the tribe, because he couldn’t be trusted. Being able to count on each member of the tribe was critical. 

MOON ENTERS LEO 9:10 am PDST, 12:10 pm EDST

The Sun Rules. Show-time! People are up early with Fresh Energy to get their Saturday started! Heading for the flea market to buy and sell? (Caveat Emptor?) Whether we’re performing at a restaurant or theater, or flea market, we’re out to See and Be Seen! People dress up to be noticed. Big Magnetic Auras are in Abundance gathering people together! We want to be entertained and out to entertain others. The Sun Rules and it’s in Venus-Ruled Taurus doing a dance with Pluto this weekend! Watch your purse and wallet! Don’t be a Mark by showing-off or acting arrogantly. The Leo Moon brings out all the fine people who have nothing to hide. Listen to your heart and stay away from dangerous people or situations. Stick with people you really trust. 

MOON/6º Leo trine URANUS/6º Aries 9:18 pm, 12:18 pm 

The Leo in all of us loves being a kid himself, he encourages young people to express themselves, applauds their brainstorms, delights their unexpected humor. Young people want to go OUT! Everybody gravitates to What’s Popular.  

SUNDAY APR 29

SUN/9º Taurus trine R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 2:33 am, 5:33 am

Saturday and Sunday, people might be tempted by-- Easy Street. Guard against theft during this period. Stay aware of your surroundings especially at this hour. Some might be tempted by underhanded schemes or take advantage sudden opportunities! Bullies might be inclined to throw their weight around and seek to intimidate others with threats of violence. Users are losers. They sacrifice peace of mind and feeling good inside about themselves, while live on the narrowest of ledges between the dark void of what people don’t know about them and the inauthentic facade they project! You DON’T want to be There!    

FIRST QUARTER

MOON/9º29´ Leo square SUN/9º29´ Taurus 2:57 am, 5:57 am

Friends look out for friends in trouble! Coming right after the Sun/Pluto trine, people can Push others to Do Something. Or Not to Do Something. Who’s gambling tonight? Who’s living beyond their means? People feel Pushed. There’s some tension and maybe even some conflict about our self-indulgent choices affecting our heart.   

MOON/14º Leo trine MERCURY/14º Aries 1:31 pm, 4:31 pm

We love it when young people express themselves. They may be fast-talking, quick with ideas of unhindered originality and quite outspoken. If you want recognition, admiration and affection, be quick to give it to others! 

MOON/19º Leo sextile VENUS/19º Gemini 9:55 pm, 12:55 am

Are we attracted to someone elusive? Venus is looking for a traveling companion for as long as it’s fun. Her theme song could be: “Don’t Fence Me In!”

MOON/20º Leo square JUPITER/20º Taurus 10:14 pm, 1:14 am

What are we overdoing? Indulging ourselves? Splurging late night? Are we out to make a big impression? Are we competing--over who has the most toys? Who are we trying to impress? 

MONDAY APR 30

MOON/25º Leo sextile R SATURN/25º Libra 7:17 am, 10:17 am

MOON/25º Leo Void-of-Course 7:17 am, 10:17 am

We adapt. It could be The Monday Morning from Hell. We’ll feel a change from the outgoing and confident Leo energy and make our way off the stage. Monday is a holiday for Leo performers. They’re on Receive instead of Send. We might look to put away our ‘costumes and props’ and check the reviews and critique our own performance. The Leo Moon is Void-of-Course for the entire work and school day. Class Clowns and Office Cut-ups will act-out to get attention, but it might not have The Desired Effect! Young graduates are thinking about the changes in their lives once school is over.  

MOON ENTERS VIRGO 4:02 pm PDST, 7:02 pm EDST

Mercury Rules. People want to pull it together when they get home! They have Fresh Energy to Bring Order out of Chaos: deal with the mail/bills, clean house, do laundry, get groceries and the kitchen put away. We aim to get done with the chores to free ourselves up to do what we really want to do. Over the next two days, you’ll notice people are not only health-conscious, but up on all the latest remedies. Our Virgo friends feel Enormously Capable of dealing with things quickly and efficiently. They know they’re headed for The Full Moon in Scorpio Next Week on May 5th. That May 20th is a New Moon/Solar Eclipse at 0º Gemini, followed by Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse at 14º Sagittarius on June 4th. We’ll all be in a practical frame of mind looking at our calendar, making plans and setting our priorities for Spring 2012.   

MOON/2º Virgo opposite NEPTUNE/2º Pisces 9:01 pm, 12:01 am

Escapist fare on TV?  Or are we drawing a hot bath for a long soak to refresh and restore ourselves? Some could be thinking of going out for a nightcap or to hear some music and maybe even hooking up with Moon conjunct Mars/Virgo in the post-Midnight hours. Tomorrow’s May Day with a Grand Earth Trine involving Sun, Moon and Pluto.... More Later--And I’ll see YOU Dancing with the Planets!

The Astrology Column

A Guide to The View on The Big Spin

MONDAY APRIL 16, 2012

MOON/2º30´ Pisces conjunct NEPTUNE/2º30´ Pisces 3:26 am, 6:26 am

Neptune Indeed Rules!  Overnight, here in the States, the Waning Moon sets off the Mars/Neptune opposition. People’s dreams might be quite intense!  Fisherman and Surfers best think Safety on the Ocean--All This Week with Mars/Neptune! I would not be surprised if there was a Tsunami Warning somewhere. Or even a Seiche on Lake Michigan! Flooding? Be Extra Careful around gas, oil, kerosene, propane or anything toxic or flammable! Do NOT mix-up medications! People could wake up to a crisis. 

MOON/3º43´ Pisces opposite MARS/3º43´ Virgo 5:44 am, 8:44 am 

Stay Aware of your surroundings today, when commuting, at the office, on the job, in hospitals, prisons, or care facilities. Watch out for obsessed or fanatical people, who want to make a dramatic statement! Hurt People Hurt People! Watch your own words and actions today too! There can be Major Misunderstandings. Be compassionate. 

MERCURY reenters Aries 3:42 pm, 6:42 pm

Mercury crosses one of the Power Points of the zodiac at Oº Aries. What people Say-- can trigger Actions. There’s now once again ‘Mutual Reception’ with Mars in Mercury -Ruled Virgo and Mercury in Mars-Ruled Aries, much resonance between the two. People will Speak Out, Loudly, with Anger, Protest, Make Demands. HOW do we express ourselves? Like a child throwing a tantrum? I want, I want, I want! Right NOW! Demanding Instant Gratification? Do we say things without considering the consequences? Or the reaction we might get? Not even children want to be thought of as childish and immature! Learn to invite, suggest, ask politely, and show consideration of other human beings.  

MOON/9º33´ Pisces sextile SR PLUTO/9º33´ Capricorn 4:58 pm, 7:58 pm

Pluto is still heavy and still powerful. News from the Courts or Law Enforcement? We might hear of arrests, indictments, harsh sentencing, investigations, We also might hear of business failures and sudden departures. News of catastrophic disasters. Many will be thinking of endings and what they need to do. 

MOON/11º Pisces square VENUS/11º Gemini 8:40 pm, 11:40 pm 

Avoid making comparisons between you and anyone else. People may be unhappy or disappointed about love or money. Or thinking about how close or far apart you are from a significant other. It’s time to put your center back on yourself and realize the only person you need to compete against is you. It’ll be a quiet evening. Look to finishing things. 

TUESDAY APR 17

Tax Day

MOON/17º Pisces sextile JUPITER/17º Taurus 7:34 am, 10:34 am

MOON/17º Pisces Void-of-Course 7:34 am, 10:34 am

Did you finish your taxes or apply for an extension? The Pisces Moon is Void-of-Course till tomorrow morning! After this nice applying sextile to Jupiter, which starts our day off optimistically, it does not interact with any planet until it changes signs. Stick with your usual routine at work or school. It counts Double to be Cheerful today! Or at least in ‘Detached Amusement.’ People will be apt to daydream or entertain Unusual Beliefs or buy into rumors. Stay Alert on the road! Avoid Shopping and starting New Projects and avoid frustration and dissatisfaction. Have NO Expectations. See what you can finish--look at those little things you’ve shined on with Later On That! Or I’ll think about it tomorrow. Like Health Issues. Neptune Rules--alcohol and drugs are likely to have a greater effect when the Moon’s in Pisces. All of us might be feeling Quite Mortal-- vulnerable and quite human.  Make time to Reflect today. Be Honest about how you really feel about what you’ve said and done. Forgive others and Forgive yourself, show compassion through those senseless acts of kindness. Get the rest you need to be Active tomorrow.   

WEDNESDAY APR 18

The Pisces Moon may still be Void-of-Course in your time zone early this morning.

MOON ENTERS ARIES 8:59 am PDST, 11:59 am EDST

Mars/Pluto Rule. People have Fresh Energy at this hour. We may be more than ready to start new things in this Spring Season--however, the sign right before the New Moon-- is when things fall apart and we can be our own worst enemy, the cause of our own self-undoing. Aries can act without thinking, respond instantly, take risks, act impulsively. Youth Rules when the Moon’s in Aries, everyone wants to feel young, strong and quick, to get in the game, to compete-- and people could Overdo It, have Sports Injuries and Accidents while the Dark-of-the-Moon is in Aries. Mars Rules--and it’s been in opposition to Neptune/Pisces. We’ll get a 1-2-3 with Uranus, Pluto and Saturn, before the New Moon. 

MOON/1º Aries conjunct MERCURY/1º Aries 12:28 pm, 3:28 pm

Fast-moving Mercury (personal communication) and Uranus (mass communication) will be conjunct on Earth Day, April 22, but we’ll feel them all week. Is there brilliant repartee in conversation? Children and Young people saying Unexpected things? People are full of New Ideas, in fact, there’s a contest to design a robot strong enough could break through a wall at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant. Young people could want to catalyze some action, build a team and compete.  

MOON/5º Aries conjunct URANUS/5º Aries 8:45 pm, 11:45 pm

Spontaneous? Impulsive? Stay Alert for Fire Danger. Huge Excitement could make us not watch where we’re going! Accidents and Mishaps because of Distractions? Everyone’s Talking about the News they’re hearing. Double check all fire hazards and combustibles. 

THURSDAY APR 19

MOON/9º Aries square R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 3:56 am, 6:56 am

What we set in motion can go completely out-of-control! Know where your cell, purse, wallet shoes and exits are at all times!  NO Wipeouts, NO Swan Dives off the Mountain Road and NO Hwy 1 Lagoon Club! Don’t let drinking or drugs be a factor in any accident tonight! Early morning crisis? Could be young people could be First Responders in a crisis involving elders or can tangle with Harsh, even Arrogant Authorities/Entities! Pluto has moved very slightly off its Stationary Point, but it is still Heavy and Powerful, encounters with The Law or Violence? Don’t let the rug be pulled out from under You! 

SUN ENTERS TAURUS  9:12 am PDST, 12:12 pm EDST

This month, we say Happy Birthday to all our Taurus friends and neighbors! Reach out to the Taurus Birthday people, especially those with birthdays today and tomorrow during this Dark-of-the-Moon period. 

     Our Taurus friends surprise us by how much they are able to accomplish while other signs are still talking. They are earthy, stable and grounded, sometimes too much so. They can be stubborn, obstinate, Once they’ve made up their minds about something or someone, they will NOT change their opinion. Venus Rules Taurus. Love of beauty, comfort and those personal little luxuries. While Affectionate, they can be Possessive. And might benefit from more Altruistic Actions. This month people will look at what they Actually Have materially, starting with their bodies--and FEELINGS, what life has given then through parentage, their education and opportunities, their tools and practiced talents, their personal capital. And may judge others as Better Off, Worse Off, Better Looking, Not so hot etc... 

     Jupiter has been in Taurus for a long time and will enter Gemini in June. Venus is already there for the long haul. Jupiter entered Taurus June 5 2011, and will leave Taurus June 12, 2012.  What Taurus has created, built, made, produced, developed, during this period, he’ll be promoting and selling to others this year. It’s an Election Year and Advertising will be big! People will be promoting and selling All Kinds of things!   

MOON/14º Aries sextile VENUS/14º Gemini 11:40 am, 2:40 pm

People express themselves eloquently to children and young people. Who’s story-telling? Who practices reading aloud and doing all the voices?  Youth Rules when the Moon’s in Aries. Young Men will be a Presence, 

FRIDAY APR 20

MOON/25º Aries opposite R SATURN/25º Libra 12:35 pm, 3:35 pm

MOON/25º Aries Void-of-Course 12:35 pm, 3:35 pm

The irresistible force meets the immovable object? Someone refuses to placate a child--or even refuses to placate the demanding child inside themselves. Could be a Major All Day Whining Advisory with the Aries Moon Void-of-Course. People might start to listen to themselves and how they really sound to others. Reality Check on Relationships with Saturn/Libra! Someone might realize they’ve been blind and deaf to the needs of others, while being caught up in themselves. Some might encounter Fear and Lying. 

Someone is Stopped? Something ends? rejected.  delayed. 

MOON ENTERS TAURUS 9:05 pm PDST, 12:05 am EDST

Venus Rules. Tonight, the energy changes from Yang to Yin. People might feel good about themselves and what they’ve made of themselves. They appreciate the opportunities they’ve been given. They appreciate what they’ve learned and earned. Beauty MOVES the Taurus in Everyone--we’re inspired by natural beauty wherever we find it and that catalyzes our creativity. Pay attention to who attracts you and who you attract! There was an old song that went: “...We feel in love with No Moon At All”  The New Moon might move the youngest and oldest to retire early. It just might be a romantic night. 

SATURDAY APR 21

NEW MOON

MOON/1º35´ Taurus conjunct SUN/1º35´ Taurus 12:18 am, 3:18 am

Our energy could bottom out gently here. Many have already sought out their comfort zones. From here on out-- things will be looking up, after a stressful spring. Nature Blooms! Love Blooms! Life Blooms! There’s Transformation in the Air! I’ve been waiting for this New Moon for a long time! People could decide to Merge their lives together and make lasting companionship and family-building a shared goal.  

MOON/2º39´ Taurus sextile NEPTUNE/2º39´ Pisces 2:25 am, 5:25 am

Late Night Music? Or Dreamland? He who hoots with the owls at night won’t be soaring with the eagles at dawn...yet the musicians, poets, surfers and photographers might just be having an excellent morning! 

MOON/4º Taurus trine MARS/4º Virgo 5:12 am, 8:12 am

The Taurus Moon encourages earth sexuality this morning. People get busy with health regimes and exercise. Could be they are at work in their gardens or cleaning house and getting organized. The Taurus Moon makes this a wide Grand Earth Trine, connecting Moon/Mars/Pluto at almost 120º angles. Mars/Pluto will be exactly trine May 16, so we’ll be watching them come around again on The Big Spin rather frequently.  

MOON/9º Taurus trine R PLUTO/9º Capricorn 4:25 pm, 7:25 pm

We are Really Ready to scope out The New Crescent Moon in the west at Sunset to assure ourselves this dark period is really over! We are ready to make Mars/Pluto radical changes and transform our material world! We get the green light on projects and jobs. Something NEW is beginning! 

SUNDAY APR 22

Earth Day

SUN/2º Taurus sextile NEPTUNE/2º Pisces 2:20 am, 5:20 am

WHO’S out there Dancing? We have a dream of living on a beautiful unpolluted planet. We’re idealistic and visionary, while the Sun does a dance with Neptune today and make a point of Staying Open to Insights and Realizations. Call down The Muse of your Creativity! People are doing ART! The Sun activates the Mars/Neptune opposition in Virgo/Pisces--people might want to save the world or imagine themselves rich and famous or be drawn to drink and drugs.    

MOON/18º Taurus conjunct JUPITER/18º Taurus 10:10 am, 1:10 pm

MOON/18º Taurus Void-of-Course 10:10 am, 1:10 pm

A Terrific Feel Good Sunday Morning! Get out the door and start projects early today! Are we investing in seedlings or fruit trees for the garden? Little luxuries? Creature comforts? Now with the Taurus Moon Void-of-Course, have no major expectations, we’ll still be coasting on Jupiter/Taurus confidence and abundance.

MERCURY/6º Aries conjunct URANUS/6º Aries 1:30 pm, 4:30 pm

Young people definitely make it to Earth Day this year! People express their Excitement and Enthusiasm. Best Pay Close Attention to Exactly what you are doing--when you are Excited, especially Driving or working with Power Tools! NO Accidents! Best NOT Text and Drive!  Lots of New Brainstorms in the air about Creating energy instead of Using it. Sports Action? Expect lots of thrilling moments. But be aware of FIRE Danger and Stay Alert for Kids! Some of us will have Unexpected Accidents, while the Taurus Moon is Void-of-Course! Pay attention to how you Really feel--Information Overload is likely with Mercury/Uranus! 

MONDAY APR 23

MOON ENTERS GEMINI 10:05 am PDST, 1:05 pm EDST

Mercury Rules. And Mercury’s conjunct Uranus in Aries! People are not only talking, but texting, emailing and communicating electronically! And they best NOT be doing it while driving! Students enjoy expressing themselves to their peers, friends, brothers and sisters. We are Hungry for Information and are glued to the Internet. We can travel--in a good book or connect with people all over the world instantly.   

MOON/2º Gemini square NEPTUNE/2º Pisces 3:33 pm, 6:33 pm

While the Gemini Moon T-squares the Mars/Neptune opposition, the Taurus Sun has been activating them in a positive way--sextile to Neptune on Earth Day, trine to Mars today. I know a lot of you have been thinking Big Ideas. Watch how your mind works when you settle on one specific idea, someone brilliant called it The Continent Idea, then a whole lot of little ideas pop up like islands that seem equally good. We can get distracted by those little islands of alternate possibilities. Go after the original vision or get side-tracked... There was a little quote on FB from Positive Quotes/Proud2BIndian about T.H.I.N.K. T, Is it True? H, Is it Helpful? I, Is it Inspiring? N, Is it Necessary? K, Is it Kind? 

SUN/4º Taurus trine MARS/4º Virgo 5:59 pm, 8:59 pm

All Day, we have the Tremendous Physical Energy to Power Through what needs doing. Could be we have some after-work work planned in the garden? Some will come home and want to restore and refresh themselves. Some are thinking of getting in some earthy intimacy and comfort. Some will be heading for the gym. Older Athletes best not overdo it! Warm up slowly and thoroughly! No sprains or strains! 

MOON/4º Gemini square MARS/4º Virgo 6:46 pm, 9:46 pm

Uh Oh, Did you overdo it? Too Much? Beware of Raising Your Voice to emphasize your point in any discussion or argument. Avoid The Fight Club, Absolutely NO Road Rage! Gemini is likely to play The Devil’s Advocate and is likely to adopt the opposite point-of-view from any strongly held position about What’s Really Healthy, Sanitary, Sane, Normal or Customary Practice and What’s NOT! Who says? Who made you the expert? You think you can justify anything? This war of words can escalate--so T.H.I.N.K. before you speak!  

MOON/6º Gemini sextile URANUS/6º Aries 10:42 pm, 1:42 am

Young people may be up late electronically communicating. Moon sextile Mercury/8º Aries right after this at 2:17 am PDST and at 5:17 am EDST. It may be a slow news day, but watch out for people on automatic pilot who haven’t gotten their Beauty Sleep tomorrow! LOL. More Later--And I’ll see YOU Dancing with the Planets!

Dancing With The Planets

The Astrology Column

A Guide to The View on The Big Spin

MONDAY APRIL 9, 2012

MOON ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 8:12 AM PDST, 11:12 AM EDST

Jupiter Rules. People are likely to feel a surge of confidence and enthusiasm this morning!  Teachers Rule. Coaches too. They share their enthusiasm for their subject and for their theories and convictions. Though some might attempt to convert you to their point of view or the rightness of their BELIEFS! Our Saj friends are happy-go-lucky. They believe in themselves and others believe in them too.  

VENUS/5º Gemini sextile URANUS/5º Aries 9:52 am, 12:52 pm

These two are in the background--but not for long! By tonight, the Moon activates them. This is a very social day, we meet new people, who just might fluff us up! 

MOON/2º19´ Sagittarius square NEPTUNE/2º19´ Pisces 12:00 pm, 3:00 pm

Expect some Major Confusion! Look at how close to opposition Neptune and Mars are! The Saj Moon makes it a T-square!  And Venus makes it a Grand Cross in the Mutable Signs Gem/Vir/Saj/Pis! We may work hard trying to Calm Down Hysterical People, who buy into Disinformation and highly unusual BELIEFS. People may spew some TOXIC ANGER. People could promote themselves, their art, their movies, their fashions, drugs--or SCAMS. They are also trying to push--Mars/Neptune--the need to drill for oil in the ocean and build pipelines. Be Extra Careful about the Quality of food and drink you ingest! Avoid Anything Questionable and Avoid Alcohol while Mars/Neptune are a force! 

MOON/3º49´ Sagittarius square R MARS/3º49´ Virgo 2:22 pm, 5:22 pm

People could fight about the pressure or misrepresentation or tricks used to get their way!  Some could want to ACT on Premonitions or on Get Rich Quick schemes or on Quack Medical Therapies. Too Good to be True may Not be What It Really Is!

MOON/5º Sagittarius trine URANUS/5º Aries 5:02 pm, 8:02 pm

MOON/5º Sagittarius opposite VENUS/5º Gemini 5:27 pm, 8:27 pm

Venus/Uranus again. Getting away from it all? I would not be surprised if people decided to go do something really different to put the day behind them. People could hook up with each other spontaneously, but with Venus/Uranus have no expectations of it leading to a lasting relationship--especially with Pluto Stationary in the background! 

TUESDAY APR 10

SD PLUTO/9º34´ Capricorn turns Stationary Retrograde 9:21 am, 12:21 pm

NO Highway Fatalities! Expect Disruptions and Delays on the morning commute! Even though, Pluto’s Station is in the background of the Waning Moon in Aquarius People are going to be shocked by the news they hear! Pluto’s action is beyond the control of individuals, impacts many people, or signifies Mass Action. We may hear of new bankruptcies, sudden departures of prominent individuals, scandals. Pluto brings people on both sides of the law into the Courts. People are thinking about the recent and upcoming decisions of The Supreme Court. We may be hearing of still more Extreme Weather Events and Disasters or Wars that impact many people. 

MOON/21º Sagittarius trine SUN/21º Aries 7:51 pm, 10:51 pm

Teachers feel good about their students and their students feel good about them. Could be there’s a Teachable Moment with young people. 

WEDNESDAY APR 11

MOON/25º Sagittarius square MERCURY/25º Pisces 3:06 am, 6:06 am

Some could be up late arguing about the Metaphysical or Supernatural. Sagittarius often represents Traditional Belief Systems, while Piscean Beliefs are more Unusual. Get Home Safe. Major Foot-in-Mouth Warning... 

MOON/26º Sagittarius sextile R SATURN/26º Libra 4:05 am, 7:05 am

MOON/26º Sagittarius Void-of-Course 4:05 am, 7:05 am

The out-going Saj energy does a fast fade this morning, instead our focus narrows to the work we have right before us. 

MOON ENTERS CAPRICORN 10:02 am PDST, 1:02 pm EDST

Saturn Rules. People are serious, and seriously ambitious too. Today, we have fresh energy to concentrate on managing our business. And our concentration is excellent. People are concerned with their Public Persona, their Dignity, their Legacy, their Influence, wealth,   Structures and Systems of their lives, 

MOON/2º23´ Capricorn sextile NEPTUNE/2º23´ Pisces 2:07 pm, 5:07 pm

Do we have a Vision? An Inspiration that keeps you going? 

MOON/3º43´ Capricorn trine SR MARS/3º43´ Virgo 4:23 pm, 7:23 pm   

People are working extra hard to “get ‘er done!” Stationary Mars finally turns Direct tomorrow, but influences the entire week. Don’t overdo it, people can push too hard and experience strains. 

MOON/5º Capricorn square URANUS/5º Aries 7:33 pm, 10:33 pm

Sudden Accidents?  Mishaps? Children’s Outbursts?  Young people challenging The System’s Status Quo?  Uranus/Pluto will be exactly square on June 24--and will hang powerfully in the planetary picture all this year. What we set in motion with anger--can go out-of-control and bring down a harsh, even violent reaction. Do not let any argument escalate in to physical conflict and violence tonight! 

THURSDAY APR 12

MOON/9º34´ Capricorn conjunct SR PLUTO/9º34´ Capricorn 2:30 am, 5:30 am

Know where your shoes are before you go to bed tonight! This makes me think about people refusing to even acknowledge the need for change until they have the rug pulled out from under them! Pluto signifies Actions Beyond the Control of single individuals, those “Acts of God” that impact many people. It also can signify Mass-Actions such as strikes, wars and riots. It’s Tornado season in the Midwest and for my Homies on the West Coast, it’s Earthquake season. Extreme Weather might just as well include Floods and Fires. People are keenly aware of the instability of the Status Quo. That things can change for families in an instant. It’s very likely that The Law will also be looking at Big Banks, Corporations, large institutions, the governance of States, Cities and Towns for criminal mismanagement. We may see the Sudden Departure of prominent individuals or elder statesmen as well as Scandals.  

Interestingly, even though the Capricorn Moon doesn’t impact it, Venus today is at 7º Gemini the degree it will return to June 28. Make a note of what’s going on your life. MOON/16º Capricorn trine JUPITER/16º Taurus 1:44 pm, 4:44 pm

Hard work pays off. We feel good about our genuine accomplishments. Rewarded. 

FRIDAY APR 13

LAST QUARTER

MOON/23º55´ Capricorn square SUN/23º55´ Aries 3:50 am, 6:50 am

MOON/26º Capricorn square R SATURN/26º Libra 8:12 am, 11:12 am

Who’s Pushing to get their way? Who’s feeling Pushed? Sun/Aries and Saturn/Libra will be in exact opposition on Sunday and will be powerfully in the background all weekend! The Capricorn Moon makes it a T-Square this morning with the Empty Corner being Cancer, Home and Family. Could be that Relationship Issues are worked out there. People might be tired and could say really stupid, thoughtless and hurtful things things. They could lie, lie, lie. Expect Delays this morning, even a Standstill or Impasse.  

MOON/27º Capricorn sextile MERCURY/27º Pisces 10:05 am, 1:05 pm

MOON/27º Capricorn Void-of-Course 10:05 am, 1:05 pm

Someone might ask, What is your True Heart’s Desire? When the Capricorn Moon turns Void-of-Course, the answer might be about letting go of ambitions and responsibilities and freeing oneself up. You may hear someone say, “I just can’t continue to do this anymore at my age.” 

MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS 2:48 pm PDST, 5:48 pm EDST

Uranus/Saturn Rule. Did someone say, “I am SO Outta Here!” Freedom and Spontaneity Rule Friday Afternoon. The Class Clowns and Office Cut Ups “let it all hang out!” People can be downright goofy and loose with a What-You-See-is-What-You-Get perspective! And their refreshing honesty brings out honesty in others. People are ready to start their weekend! They will gravitate to what’s popular, the latest thing and head for where it’s happening!   

SR MARS/3º41º Virgo turns Stationary Direct 8:53 pm, 11:53 pm

Mars is Definitely Powerful in the background tonight! Our Virgo friends have felt empowered this year and last because of Mars, which entered Virgo November 2011, was last at 3º41´Virgo on November 18, 2011. What were YOU doing around that time? They feel strong and capable and can work under pressure. While they hope for the best, they’re prepared for the worst. While this is the closest that Mars and Neptune get to opposition, Mars 28º08´ Leo was in opposition to R Neptune 28º08´ Aquarius  a few days before on 11/7/11. We may be hearing of more about fanatics, celebrity-fixated fans, people swept away by glamorous drug use, or caught up in some survivalist obsession or even, wanting to be among The Saved! Keep just one small corner of your mind sensible! Don’t overdo anything. 

SATURDAY APR 14

MOON/5º Aquarius sextile URANUS/5º Aries 1:07 am, 4:07 am

People could take it to the limit, to show others they are really free, free, free! Get Home Safe. Friends keep friends from taking impulsive risks with their own life or with the lives of others. 

MOON/9º Aquarius trine VENUS/9º Gemini 8:10 am, 11:10 am

Let’s not forget that Venus will return to 7º Gemini. It might be a good idea to jot down what you have had going on over the last few days this morning. Could be we’re meeting really interesting conversationalists. Did someone say, Science Guys?  

MOON/16º Aquarius square JUPITER/16º Taurus 9:10 pm, 12:10 am

Now, what are we overdoing? Impulse Buying? Caught up in some Consumer Must-Have Craze? Flattering your Betters? People know the difference between genuine praise and flattery that makes you ask, What do they want? Watch your wallet and purse. 

SUNDAY APR 15

SUN/26º Aries opposite R SATURN/26º Libra 11:27 am, 2:27 pm

ALL DAY, people will feel definitely draggy, some could wake up exhausted, be conscious of their responsibilities to others and might do well to put their self-centered focus on their own immediate needs and desires to one side, in order to cope with the real-world problems and needs of others. Some may have partners who feel ignored. Those who are caught up with themselves may be arrogantly blind and deaf to how others really feel. We are Stopped by Saturn/Libra, pleasure-delayed.

MOON/26º Aquarius trine R SATURN/26º Libra 3:20 pm, 6:20 pm 

MOON/26º Aquarius sextile SUN/26º Aries 3:42 pm, 6:42 pm

MOON/26º Aquarius Void-of-Course 3:42 pm, 6:42 pm

This afternoon, the Aquarius Moon is likely to want to change the focus from obligations and responsibilities or past issues to the present time.

MOON ENTERS PISCES 10:38 pm PDST, 1:38 am EDST

Neptune/Jupiter Rule. We are headed for The New Moon at 1º35´ Taurus NEXT SATURDAY 4/21. We’ll be seeing the Moon in the pre-dawn hours till then. However, people could feel a small burst of Fresh Energy at this hour, as they wrap up their weekend. And might do one or two practical things before they retire.

     Over the next two days, we may want to make time to get with ourselves, to reflect on the week past, how we really feel about our own words and actions, how we really feel about those of others.   

MONDAY APR 16

MOON/2º30´ Pisces conjunct NEPTUNE/2º30´ Pisces 3:26 am, 6:26 am

Neptune Indeed Rules!  Overnight, here in the States, the Waning Moon sets off the Mars/Neptune opposition. People’s dreams might be quite intense!  Fisherman and Surfers best think Safety on the Ocean--All This Week with Mars/Neptune! I would not be surprised if there was a Tsunami Warning somewhere. Or even a Seiche on Lake Michigan! Flooding? Be Extra Careful around gas, oil, kerosene, propane or anything toxic or flammable! Do NOT mix-up medications! People could wake up to a crisis. 

MOON/3º43´ Pisces opposite MARS/3º43´ Virgo 5:44 am, 8:44 am 

Stay Aware of your surroundings today, when commuting, at the office, on the job, in hospitals, prisons, or care facilities. Watch out for obsessed or fanatical people, who want to make a dramatic statement! Hurt People Hurt People! Watch your own words and actions today too! There’ can be Major Misunderstandings. Be compassionate. 

MERCURY reenters Aries 3:42 pm, 6:42 pm

Mercury crosses one of the Power Points of the zodiac at Oº Aries. What people Say-- can trigger Actions. There’s now once again ‘Mutual Reception’ with Mars in Mercury -Ruled Virgo and Mercury in Mars-Ruled Aries, resonance between the two. People will Speak Out, Loudly, with Anger, Protest, Make Demands. HOW do we express ourselves? Like a child throwing a tantrum? I want, I want, I want! Right NOW! Demanding Instant Gratification? Do we say things without considering the consequences? Or the reaction we might get? Not even children want to be thought of as childish and immature!  

MOON/9º33´ Pisces sextile SR PLUTO/9º33´ Capricorn 4:58 pm, 7:58 pm

Pluto is still heavy and powerful. News from the Courts or Law Enforcement? We might hear of arrests, indictments, harsh sentencing, We also might hear of business failures and sudden departures. News of catastrophic disasters. Many will be thinking of endings and what they need to do. 

MOON/11º Pisces square VENUS/11º Gemini 8:40 pm, 11:40 pm

More Later--And I’ll see YOU Dancing with the Planets! Moving with the Energy Flow on The Big Spin!  It’s linked from ‘Dancing With The Planets’ on Facebook and Michelle Sura’s  Facebook page to  http://dwtp.livejournal.com

A Guide to The View on The Big Spin

MONDAY APRIL 2, 2012

MOON/13º Leo trine SUN/13º  Aries 1:11 am, 4:11 am

Some fiery physical intimacy? Dramatic and memorable?  

MOON/13º Leo square JUPITER/13º Taurus 2:19 am, 5:19 am

What are we overdoing late night? Indulging ourselves? Laying on the flattery a little too thick? Spending money impulsively? For many, it is Spring Break. No School. The Leo Moon won’t make any aspects to other planets till TUESDAY morning. We’ll coast. 

People want to PLAY today. See and Be Seen. Leo gathers people together around the power of his personality. Did someone say, Party? 

TUESDAY APR 3

MOON/27º Leo sextile R SATURN/27º Libra 1:57 am, 4:57 am

Hope you all are having a nice deep sleep. 

MOON/29º Leo square VENUS/29º Taurus 6:47 am, 9:47 am

MOON/29º Leo Void-of-Course 6:47 am, 9:47 am

Venus reaches its culmination in Taurus and is about to change signs. Someone could want to be thought of as more than just a pretty face!  What Venus builds, creates or produces in Taurus, Venus looks to promote and sell in Gemini. 

MOON ENTERS VIRGO 6:53 am PDST, 9:53 am EDST

Mercury Rules. Fresh Energy to Get Organized? We’re definitely On It this morning, but how long will it last? We get chores out of the way and off the back-burner of our minds. We’re get things done quickly and efficiently. We analyze our situation and prioritize what we need to do.   

VENUS ENTERS GEMINI 8:18 am PDST, 11:18 am EDST

We’re attracted to people who are witty and engaging, who speak eloquently. We admire the way they are able to articulate their thoughts and ideas. Salespeople of all kinds can make any deal persuasively attractive! People are looking at Cars when they are out shopping, boats too. Some are thinking of moving or getting a change of scenery or planning their next vacation. It seems to me that people will be On The Move!

     Those born with Venus/Gemini, are the zodiac’s social butterflies, they follow their bliss, they have a wide variety of friends and multiple interests. They play the field and don’t want any messy emotional entanglements. They may well consider that the Mind may be the Sexiest part of the body!

     Venus will square off with Neptune, then with Mars this week. 

     Now--Venus/Gemini will be with us for a LONG time through August 7th... Venus will ‘appear’ from our perspective on Earth’s orbit around the Sun to slow, stop and go backwards and then slow, stop and go forwards. Though it does Not do this Every Year, but 2012 is one of them.  Venus will go forward to 24º Gemini by May 15, then it will return to 7º Gemini by June 27.  It will finally clear 24º Gemini (the point it turned Retrograde on July 30-August 1.) Venus will reach 7º Gemini for the first time going forward on Thursday April 12! The period from April 12 to May 15 is called ‘The Shadow Period, the time Before a planet turns Retrograde.      

MOON/2º Virgo opposite NEPTUNE/2º Pisces 10:34 am, 1:34 pm

Major Mush Mind Advisory. I know many have really been feeling it. Please note that Neptune and Mars are almost in opposition, though they will never be Exactly in opposition. Nonetheless, I think we will see people flipping out--like that pilot on the Jet Blue flight. Obsessive Fanatics may get the spotlight, also People Seeking Celebrity Encounters. Stay aware of your surroundings, especially if you are at the beach or near water of any kind. Mars/Neptune. Stay aware of Dubious Achievements and Scams. I’m sure people will be screaming about the price of gas, as well as, the lack of control over pollution and toxic waste.   

MOON/4º Virgo conjunct R MARS/4º Virgo 2:16 pm, 5:16 pm

People get busy, and put their feelings to one side in order to work. Our Virgo friends are powering through what they need to do. Taxes? Getting their garden beds ready for planting? Spring Cleaning their home and getting rid of clutter? Saving Someone from drowning or dying of drugs, alcohol and self pity? In really forceful ways? Next week, Mars turns Stationary Direct and Pluto turns Stationary Retrograde! 

MOON/9º33º Virgo trine PLUTO/9º33´ Capricorn 11:01 pm, 2:01 am

We live in a time when huge problems that impact many people can seem overwhelming. Time for the Serenity Prayer? Finding the serenity at this late hour to accept the things we cannot change is better than worrying about them. 

WEDNESDAY APR 4

SR MERCURY/23º51´ Pisces turns Stationary Direct 3:11 am, 6:11 am

I’m sure we’ve been feeling this for weeks now... Peak Forgetfulness. Peak Absent-mindedness. Things will clear up with Mercury slowly. Mercury will re-enter Aries on April 17. But will clear the point it turned Retrograde after the New Moon on April 23. Everyone asks when will this be over. That’s when! Know where your keys are, your purse, wallet, you cell phone, your calendar and address book. Make a point of looking around you when you get up from a chair for what you might leave behind! Things we’ve lost or mislaid might suddenly reappear. Double-check the information you hear especially and make sure that what you say is being received correctly by others. 

MOON/14º Virgo trine JUPITER/14º Taurus 6:35 am, 9:35 am

Lovely Feel-Good morning. We’re moved by Natural Beauty and beautiful man-made art and environments. Are we shopping for clothes? Jobs? New Businesses? 

MOON/23º53´ Virgo opposite SD MERCURY/23º53´ Pisces 10:37 pm, 1:37 am

MOON/23º53´ Virgo Void-of-Course 10:37 pm, 1:37 am

Give it a rest, turn off the stimulating media and go get your beauty sleep! You’ll need it tomorrow. Foot-in-Mouth Warning. People who are misinformed, confused, tongue-tied or mistaken could get an earful. Be quick to apologize, sincerely and profusely for any unconscious or thoughtless remark! 

THURSDAY APR 5

MOON ENTERS LIBRA 8:32 am PDST, 11:32 am EDST

Venus Rules. People present what they have made of themselves to the world. People make a point of looking good today. Many will be looking to attract long-lasting companionship. People can be very charming and attentive listeners. LOTS of Social events and community activities. 

MOON/1º Libra trine VENUS/1º Gemini 11:41 am, 2:41 pm

Venus Definitely Rules. We may admire people who are not only articulate and help keep conversations upbeat, moving and inclusive, who are not only civil, but gracious and kind. The Most Beautiful People are Beautiful on the Inside and they have learned to practice gracious and kind civility so it becomes a habit, that eventually becomes second-nature and defines who and what they are.    

MOON/5º Libra opposite URANUS/5º Aries 4:54 pm, 7:54 pm

Accident Advisory? Think Twice about Risks you take on the road! NO Sudden Close Calls! Watch those Impulses! Watch those toddlers, children and young people who take risks without realizing the consequences! Don’t Text While Driving! Young women do it more than young men! Friends take care of friends!  

VENUS/2º Gemini square NEPTUNE/2º Pisces 6:51 pm, 9:51 pm

Glamourous Evening? Are we Swept Away by a New Infatuation? Watch the Quality of food and drink you ingest. Ladies keep a close eye on your drinks, make sure they are not tampered! Music MOVES us, so do Movies, so does Celebrity, so do alcohol and drugs.  

MOON/9º34´ Libra square SD PLUTO/9º34´ Capricorn 11:51 pm, 2:51 am

Don’t Drive Recklessly! Slow Down and Arrive Alive! This one will be heavy--While the Full Moon’s peak fullness is a still a little over 12 hours away, it’s interaction with Pluto/Capricorn is not to be underestimated! Pluto is Stationary and Powerful. People will be talking about Scandals and Sudden Departures. They’ll also be talking about the continued viability of structures and systems of the economy, of governments and states, of corporations and major institutions. People will be talking about The Courts, especially The Supreme Court. They’ll also be talking about Powerful People, dictators, dangerous individuals, violent crime, war and law enforcement. Destructive Extreme Weather Events too!     

FRIDAY APR 6

Good Friday

FULL MOON

MOON/17º23´ Libra opposite SUN/17º23´ Aries 12:19 pm PDST, 3:19 pm EDST

It’s the ‘I-and-Thou’ of Full Moons. The Full Moon ruled by Venus and Sun is ruled by Mars. Check out Venus/Mars moving into a 90º angle below. And--Mars and Venus are both doing a dance with Neptune!  Love can be like an Intoxicating Drug or can turn Toxic. It could be a brush with Celebrity or it could be painfully Disillusioning, even Humiliating. Decide for yourself. When Neptune’s involved, we can go Very High with Expectations or Very Low when things don’t work out. Keep one small corner of your mind as a sensible observer. Always a good idea to take note of the first date or serious meeting of a new relationship, what he/she said, what you said, what you believe, what you don’t, what you ignored or dismissed and what rang true.   

      The day could be dominated by Sports Action and Social Events. Get out there!  

SATURDAY APR 7

Passover

MOON/26º Libra conjunct R SATURN/26º Libra 3:15 am, 6:15 am

MOON/26º Libra Void-of-Course 3:15 am, 6:15 am

Hope you are all fast asleep! But NOT behind the wheel! Early Risers on Saturday morning (such as those who hit Flea Markets and Garage Sales) might find their morning problematic till the Moon changes signs. People might not be so talkative or inclusive this morning. We are putting our center back on ourselves and our own agenda.

MOON ENTERS SCORPIO 8:18 am PDST, 11:18 am EDST

Mars/Pluto Rule. What can we eliminate to make our lives easier? What expenses can we cut out?  What can we do without? What’s taking up space? What’s become obsolete? What can be sold? Where are the unseen bargains and good investments? People are thinking of the taxes they must pay. The Scorpio in all of us--is as observant as The Mentalist on TV. Or, seems Sooooo Psychic! He’s looking at the strength of will and endurance against his own almost shamanic Personal Intent. The Scorpio Moon could make us suspicious of appearances or motivations, yet passionate about personal investigations and getting down to the truth. We could ‘Push the Envelope’ to get to that Peak Experience. 

MOON/2º Scorpio trine NEPTUNE/2º Pisces 11:54 am, 2:54 pm

Music? Movies? Cultural Events? Parties? Gatherings? Activating the Mars/Neptune opposition in a positive way, the Scorpio Moon sheds light on fanaticism, fads, obsessions, celebrity fixations, motivations for strange behaviors. 

MOON/3º53´ Scorpio sextile R MARS/3º53´ Virgo 2:31 pm, 5:31 pm

Mars, which turned Retrograde on January 23rd at 23º Virgo, finally turns Direct NEXT Friday the 13th at 3º41´ Virgo. We are On It today. People make discerning judgments about what needs to be done, the priorities as people prepare for Occasions. 

VENUS/3º53´ Gemini square R MARS/3º53´ Virgo 4:37 pm, 7:37 pm

In the background, Venus and Mars square-off. Both are Ruled by Mercury. Opposites Attract? People with differing points of view are likely to verbally spar over them--and enjoy doing so? Agree to disagree? Enjoy being able to express themselves? Find resonance?  Someone might say, ‘I never thought of it that way...’ Picture these two in the background of the Aries/Libra Full Moon Polarity. When it comes to finding partners, people need to be able to really communicate, be on the same page and to share the same kind of humor. Think Platonic friendship first.   

MOON/9º34´ Scorpio sextile SD PLUTO/9º34´ Capricorn 11:27 pm, 2:27 pm

Pluto turns Retrograde NEXT Tuesday, April 11th, but will hang at THIS degree though Wednesday April 12th. People are seriously going to think of what’s important to them. What REALLY MATTERS and What Doesn’t. Some will consider what is weighing them down and what they want to eliminate. Others will think about what they might pack in a “Bug-Out Bag” as it is likely people will be highly aware of Extreme Weather Events, Tornadoes, Earthquakes, Wars, Bankruptcies in the news.  People may be engrossed in their own research or personal investigations or find it hard to put down a thrilling mystery, courtroom drama or crime novel.  

SUNDAY APR 8

Easter Sunday 

MOON/15º Scorpio opposite JUPITER/15º Taurus 8:08 am, 11:08 am

Dressing up for Church? We’re generous this morning. People praise each other and show kindness and consideration. People feel good about themselves. There’s a feeling of abundance and goodwill in the air that could carry through the day. However, during Scorpio Moons, people could be intense, moody, suspicious, over-sensitive to remarks, even jealous or sarcastic. It counts double today to do what we must as cheerfully as we can.  

MOON/24º Scorpio trine MERCURY/24º Pisces 11:56 pm, 2:56 am

MOON/24º Scorpio Void-of-Course 11:56 pm, 2:56 am

Someone might say something unconsciously, which opens them up to serious interrogation. But by now, Mercury is just off its Stationary Point and will be picking up speed soon. Program your dream life.  

MONDAY APR 9

MOON ENTERS SAGITTARIUS 8:12 AM PDST, 11:12 AM EDST

Jupiter Rules. People are likely to feel a surge of confidence and enthusiasm this morning!  Teachers Rule. Coaches too. They share their enthusiasm for their subject and for their theories and convictions. Though some might attempt to convert you to their point of view or the rightness of their BELIEFS! Our Saj friends are happy-go-lucky. They believe in themselves and others believe in them too.  

VENUS/5º Gemini sextile URANUS/5º Aries 9:52 am, 12:52 pm

These two are in the background--but not for long! By tonight, the Moon activates them. This is a very social day, we meet new people, who just might fluff us up! 

MOON/2º19´ Sagittarius square NEPTUNE/2º19´ Pisces 12:00 pm, 3:00 pm

Expect some Major Confusion! Look at how close to opposition Neptune and Mars are! The Saj Moon makes it a T-square!  And Venus makes it a Grand Cross in the Mutable Signs Gem/Vir/Saj/Pis! We may work hard trying to calm down hysterical people, who buy into Disinformation and highly unusual BELIEFS. People may spew some TOXIC ANGER. People could promote themselves, their art, their movies, their fashions, drugs--or SCAMS. They are also trying to push--Mars/Neptune--the need to drill for oil in the ocean and build pipelines. Be extra careful about the quality of food and drink you ingest! Avoid anything questionable and avoid alcohol over lunch! 

MOON/3º49´ Sagittarius square R MARS/3º49´ Virgo 2:22 pm, 5:22 pm

People could fight about the force used to get their way.  Some could want to ACT on Premonitions or on Get Rich Quick schemes or on Quack Medical Therapies. Too good to be true may not be what it really is!

MOON/5º Sagittarius trine URANUS/5º Aries 5:02 pm, 8:02 pm

MOON/5º Sagittarius opposite VENUS/5º Gemini 5:27 pm, 8:27 pm

Here Venus/Uranus again. Getting away from it all? I would not be surprised if people decided to go do something really different to put the day behind them. P

The Astrology Column

A Guide to The View on The Big Spin

MONDAY MARCH 26, 2012

MOON/22º Taurus conjunct VENUS/22º Taurus 12:26 pm, 3:26 pm

People make a point of looking extra good this morning. So should you! Pay attention to who attracts you and the kind of people you attract this afternoon! People are likely to feel good about the work they’ve produced.

MOON/27º Taurus sextile R MERCURY/27º  Pisces 9:35 pm, 12:35 pm

MOON/27º Taurus Void-of-Course 9:35 pm, 12:35 pm

Tonight, watch what you say, especially if you are inebriated! Go to bed early! 

TUESDAY  MAR 27

MOON ENTERS GEMINI 3:43 AM PDST, 6:43 AM EDST

Mercury Rules. (And it is Retrograde in Pisces!) There’s some fresh energy in the air around this hour.  Our Minds have override capacity on our emotions when the Moon’s in Gemini. Mercury Rules our thinking, speech, memory and quick movements, but while Mercury is Retrograde in Neptune-Ruled Pisces, these might be fuzzy to say the least. People are usually hungry for news, facts and information when the Moon’s in Gemini--but this time around, there’s more of a desire for escape or travel. Are we getting away from it all?    

MOON/1º56´ Gemini square NEPTUNE/1º56´ Pisces 7:40 am, 10:40 am

Dreams might hang over people’s waking consciousness. Don’t be Asleep at The Wheel this morning! Loud Music also can be an unwelcome distraction to drivers. Make a point of Staying Alert! There also could be some confusion or misunderstandings this morning. Even some disillusionment. Consider your audience if you want to voice any unusual beliefs, psychic perceptions or even share those end-of-the-world prophecies. Cynics and skeptics could respond with ridicule. 

MOON/4º Gemini sextile URANUS/4º Aries 1:15 pm, 4:15 pm

Brainstorms! Young people are excited over the very latest thing and are likely to jump on the bandwagon of What’s Popular. 

MOON/5º Gemini square R MARS/5º Virgo 3:04 pm, 6:04 pm

NO Road Rage. Cool it ASAP!! What are we fighting about now? Who’s cut-and-run and who’s stuck with the chores? Gemini might take issue with what Virgo considers “Normal” or Proper. Or, Virgo might dispute the multiple possibilities Gemini sees without considering the time, effort and expense to achieve them or that he can tweak the facts to justify anything!  

MOON/7º Gemini sextile SUN/7º Aries 7:38 pm, 10:38 pm

We enjoy the company of children and young people this evening. Is it game night at your house? 

WEDNESDAY MAR 28

The Moon continues in Gemini, making no exact aspects to the planets. 

People are usually hungry for the latest news when the Moon’s in Gemini, yet today might be one of those slow news days or more likely people feel that spring fever of dreamy indolence. Go with the flow and stick with your usual routine.   

THURSDAY MAR 29

MOON/25º Gemini square R MERCURY/25º Pisces 7:05 am, 10:05 am

Bickering Advisory? Consider your audience-- should you bring up the supernatural or unusual metaphysical beliefs systems and avoid ridicule. Foot-in-Mouth Advisory too!

R MERCURY/25º Pisces sextile VENUS/25º Taurus 10:43 am, 1:43 pm

People might use their creative imagination to unusual effect. People could make unusual fashion statements. 

MOON/27º Gemini trine R SATURN/27º Libra 11:05 am, 2:05 pm

MOON/27º Gemini Void-of-Course 11:05 am, 2:05 pm

Are we tired and talked-out? Tired of superficial small talk and wanting emotionally meaningful conversation? 

SUN/9º31´ Aries square PLUTO/9º31´ Capricorn 12:54 pm, 3:54 pm

This Sun/Pluto aspect happens four times a year, by conjunction, 90º angle and opposition. This one happens while the Gemini Moon is Void-of-Course today. Tomorrow’s First Quarter Moon also activates it. So, Sun/Pluto will be a powerful influence 24 hours before and after this hour. We could see the Sudden Departure of elder statesmen or prominent individuals. Scandals also could break. Stay aware of your surroundings and guard against theft, assault and violence. Warriors on the battlefield or athletes on the playing field could get injured. Don’t provoke others or let yourself be provoked. Or, escalate Any argument into physical conflict. Pluto can make things go out-of-control fast and bring The Law into it. 

MOON ENTERS CANCER 4:07 PM PDST, 7:07 PM EDST

The Moon Rules. People will be ever so glad to get home in one piece!  Over the next couple of days, people will be focused on family concerns, children and relatives. We’ll be looking at the needs of our homes and gardens and what’s going on in our immediate environment. Some feel more insecure during Cancer Moons. Their feelings of vulnerability might seem as if they are apparent to everyone. Make time to get in touch with your own authentic feeling nature. How do you really feel? How do others make you feel? People are going to feel way more secure on their own Home Turf. We take our cues from our women friends, especially Mom.  

MOON/2º Cancer trine NEPTUNE/2º Pisces 8:06 pm, 11:06 pm

Is it TV night at your house? Singing with the community chorus? Or in the shower? 

FRIDAY MAR 30

MOON/4º Cancer square URANUS/4º Aries 1:38 am, 4:38 am

Early Morning Accidents? Watch your step when you’re half-asleep heading to the bathroom! Kids coming in late? 

MOON/9º32´ Cancer opposite PLUTO/9º32´ Capricorn 10:47 am, 1:47 pm

Pluto is still quite close to the First Quarter Moon and Sun, making a T-square with the empty corner being Libra. Ladies, watch your tongues--people could feel so provoked by what you say, they could go violently out-of-control. There may be people you know who are emotionally devastated, in crisis, suffering or experiencing loss or even humiliating scandal. Be There for them. Don’t forget Pluto signifies Actions beyond the control of individuals, or actions that impact many people or indicates mass-action. We could see Multiple Extreme Weather Events. Drive Carefully!    

FIRST QUARTER

MOON/10º30´ Cancer square SUN/10º30´ Aries 12:41 pm PDST, 3:41 pm EDST

People might feel pushed, or push others to get their way. There might be some difference of opinion...between Mothers and Daughters or Fathers and Sons...or any other combination thereof. Young people might be pushing for independence, yet must know that independence is gained by “Saying what you mean and Meaning what you say” That goes double for promises and accepting doing what you must as cheerfully as you can! Help Mom out. No Whining! 

MOON/13º Cancer sextile JUPITER/13º Taurus 5:41 pm, 8:41 pm

We are comforted by generosity and kindness on the home front. People offer hospitality to their guests. It’s likely people will validate each other.   

SATURDAY MAR 31

We’ll enjoy feeling Right at Home wherever we are. It might be a good morning to get with yourself, to examine where you’ve been and what you’ve done and how you really feel. People will enjoy puttering around the house or the garden. 

MOON/24º Cancer trine R MERCURY/24º Pisces 3:13 pm, 6:13 pm

“Sweepstakes Ticket you’re so clean, won’t you help me make the scene...”  Always loved Greg Shindell’s song. People can have foolish dreams of being rich beyond their wildest imaginings. Or being among The Saved!  Avoid any get-rick-quick schemes. People can be gullible and trusting. 

MOON/27º Cancer square R SATURN/27º Libra 8:33 pm, 11:33 pm

People who are tired might say thoughtless, even hurtful things quite unconsciously. 

Does Fear and Lying come up? Saturn’s playing Trickster! Watch how you unconscious mind works, the little criticisms it makes. Saturn’s pointing out in others the things we aren’t acknowledging in ourselves. Watch out especially for any sudden powerful negative reaction--to people you encounter who you might reject out of hand.  

MOON/27º Cancer sextile VENUS/27º Taurus 9:20 pm, 12:20 am

MOON/27º Cancer Void-of-Course 9:20 pm, 12:20 am

People might want to get dressed up and get out of the house Saturday Night. Have NO Expectations while the Moon is Void-of-Course! Go with the flow. Enjoy what it is. As the Moon moves into Leo, you’ll feel the energy change from Mighty Yin to Mighty Yang. 

SUNDAY APRIL 1

Palm Sunday - All Fool’s Day

MOON ENTERS LEO 1:35 AM PDST, 4:35 AM EDST

The Sun Rules. Our Leo friends are out to entertain us all! Late night performances leave audiences wanting more! People are really going to Shine early Sunday Morning! We will be aware of people with large, radiant and magnetic auras! People will gravitate to Leaders, who resonate with their followers, who want to know their concerns and really listen and respond to them.   

MOON/4º57´ Leo trine URANUS/4º 57´ Aries 10:42 am, 1:42 pm

Are we surprised? Are we fooled? Young people always enjoy pranks, but many of us are likely to hear astounding brainstorms and scientific and medical breakthroughs. Social media will be On Fire with News. Children will amaze us with their ingenuity and their self-expression.

      All Day Today, people will want to “See and Be Seen!” The Leo-in-Everyone wants resonance with everyone they meet. They’re coming from being ‘Fine’ People with nothing to hide and expect others will be the same. They want recognition, even admiration--and most importantly affection. Smart Leos know that if you want these to come your way, you have to give them to others. Hug people today, praise their genuine achievements, rather than merely flatter. Our Leo friends appreciate loyalty in their friends and have a wonderful way of treating young people and children as equals, but most of all they love to PLAY! Fun, fun, fun! 

MONDAY APR 2

MOON/13º Leo trine SUN/13º  Aries 1:11 am, 4:11 am

Some fiery physical intimacy? Dramatic and memorable?  

MOON/13º Leo square JUPITER/13º Taurus 2:19 am, 5:19 am

What are we overdoing late night? Indulging ourselves? Laying on the flattery a little too thick? Spending money impulsively? For many, it is Spring Break. No School. The Leo Moon won’t make any aspects to other planets till TUESDAY morning. We’ll coast, repeat of Sunday. More Later--And I’ll see YOU Dancing with the Planets!
