| Dear Stargazers,
If you follow me on Twitter, there haven't been many tweets because unbeknownst to me Facebook stopped sharing them. I've reached out to FB (no response) and have tried numerous solutions without success. If any of you have had the same problem and managed to fix it, I'd love to hear from you. By the way, for those of you who enjoy Instagram, my posts there are different than what I post on FB/Twitter.
Now, let's take a look at what the heavens have in store for us... |
| | PLANETARY FORECAST April 23 - May 6 PLANETARY EVENTS
Apr. 24: Transiting Venus enters Gemini May 04: Mercury leaves the post-retrograde shadow
BEST DAYS
While there are other days during this time frame that are fine, these are the best of the bunch. What do I mean by the best? The energy is flowing, the moon isn't void and there's a greater likelihood for happy and/or productive outcomes.
April 30 May 5, 9
BEST AVOIDED
The energies on these days aren't favorable for new ventures or any activity where you want or need a definite result. If you must schedule something, you may have to think on your feet, or there may be a need for patience or flexibility.
April 25, 26
NOTABLE ASPECTS
For guidance about these aspects, visit Facebook or Twitter the day before the aspect. Why the day before? Because that's when the energy starts building and the influence starts making itself known. Once the aspect is exact, the energy is released and the influence fades.
Apr. 24: Mars sextile Jupiter
Apr. 25: Mercury square Saturn
Apr. 26: Mars conjunct Pluto
Apr. 29: Sun trine Saturn May 06: Sun sextile Neptune |
| | CHIRON IN ARIES
On April 18, Chiron entered Aries where it will remain until it returns for a final visit to Pisces from September 26, 2018 - February 18, 2019. Once Chiron returns to Aries, it will remain there until April 14, 2027.
During the next five months, we're being given a sneak peek of what to expect while the wounded healer is in the sign that represents the individual self.
Aries was assigned the key phrase of "I AM" for a very good reason. As the first sign of the zodiac, it represents birth and as the infant of the zodiac, self-awareness doesn't come naturally to it. It's also the ruler of the first house in the natural zodiac, which means it presides over the physical body.
Ruled by Mars, Aries seeks to distinguish itself from the rest of the pack by asserting itself through independent and achievement-oriented actions. A natural leader, Aries is resourceful, enthusiastic, passionate and fearless. It's also a combative, competitive and ego-driven sign that craves recognition for its accomplishments and has difficulty accepting anything less than first place.
So what can you expect while Chiron is in Aries?
Whereas the influence of Chiron in Pisces was on healing your spiritual self, the focus of Chiron in Aries will be on healing your ego and sense of self. While for some this may mean taming one's ego, for others it may very well mean developing a stronger one.
After all, a healthy ego is necessary for confidence. Without it, one finds it hard to make or defend one's decisions, establish personal boundaries, stand by your values, lead others and enjoy a healthy sense of self-esteem.
If you were born with Chiron in Aries (April 1 - October 18,1968 and January 30, 1969 - May 28, 1976), you'll feel this cycle more strongly because at some point you're going to experience your Chiron return. How you'll experience this event depends upon your personal horoscope, as well as what you've done up until that point in terms of healing your Chiron's wounds and nurturing its gifts.
Yes, I said gifts. So much focus is placed on Chiron's wound - his rejection at birth and his inability to heal himself - that his gifts as a seer, teacher and a healer to those in pain are often overlooked.
Just like Saturn, we all have Chiron somewhere in our horoscope. In fairness, some placements are harder than others but even the toughest ones contain a gift. Recognizing and using that gift is the key to healing your Chiron wound. |
| | TRANSITING VENUS IN GEMINI April 24 - May 18, 2018
Having satisfied her physical appetites while in Taurus, a sign she calls home, it was time for Venus to visit Gemini and indulge her mind. Although one might think that Venus would be homesick for the Bull’s earthy delights and passionate nights, this pleasure-loving planet feels very much at ease in Gemini’s breezy bungalow.

| | FULL MOON at 17°09' SCORPIO
April 29, 2018 | 8:58 PM Washington, DC
On April 1, the Aries New Moon served as a cosmic green light to put yourself first and initiate something that would benefit you, and on April 29, the Scorpio Full Moon can help transform it into an enduring reality.
Bringing something to fruition requires provocative energy, and this Full Moon fits the bill because it squares the lunar nodes in a dynamic pattern known as a grand cross. When it comes to making it an enduring reality, the credit goes to Saturn. As it trines the Sun and sextiles the Moon, Saturn's influence contributes stability, sincerity and faithfulness. Moreover, even though it's on the wide side, the Moon-Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio expands the transformational ability of the moon to create a far-reaching and lasting change in your life.
If you're born under Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius and have been stuck at a crossroad in some area of your life, this grand cross may force a decision. If so, Saturn and Jupiter's influence suggests that while you may have an adjustment period, you'll be happy in the long run. |

A full moon occurs when the Sun and Moon form an aspect known as an opposition. The house that holds the Moon is where the action is in your chart, and something related to one (or more) of the life areas ruled by it may come to light, to fruition or to an end. Since a full moon falls across two houses, it's important to consider the life areas of the house that holds the sun as well.
If you don't know which house holds 9°39 Scorpio in your horoscope, you can refer to the list below to find out where the full moon falls in your solar (sun-sign based) chart).
If your Sun Sign is:
Aries, the full moon falls in your solar 8th house of intimacy, other people's money and support, jointly-held assets and transformation. Read the 2nd house as well.
Taurus, the full moon falls in your solar 7th house of lawsuits and one-to-one relationships. Read the 1st house as well.
Gemini, the full moon falls in your solar 6th house of work, health, service and pets. Read the 12th house as well.
Cancer, the full moon falls in your solar 5th house of romance, children, creativity. Read the 11th house as well.
Leo, the full moon falls in your solar 4th house of home, family, real estate, parents and intuition. Read the 8th house as well.
Virgo, the full moon falls in your solar 3rd house of siblings, short trips, transportation and all types of communications. Read the 9th house as well.
Libra, the full moon falls in your solar 2nd house of money, income, values and self-worth. Read the 8th house as well.
Scorpio, the full moon falls in your solar 1st house - it's all about you, including your approach to life and physical appearance. Read the 7th house as well.
Sagittarius, the full moon falls in your solar 12th house of solitude, secrets, past lives,healing and psychic abilities. Read the 6th house as well.
Capricorn, the full moon falls in your solar 11th house of goals, casual friends, colleagues and group relationships. Read the 5th house as well.
Aquarius, the full moon falls in your solar 10th house of career, status and fame. Read the 4th house as well.
Pisces, the full moon falls in your solar 9th house of foreign travel, higher education, legal matters and publishing. Read the 3rd house as well.

| | Releasing with the Scorpio Full Moon
Once the full moon peaks and the matter is concluded, it's over and the next step is to release any attachment to it. That's why, the period of time between the full moon and the next new moon (the time while the moon is waning or disappearing from sight) is energetically ripe for releasing things from our life.
You can release anything under any full moon, but since this one is saturated in Scorpio energy, it's especially helpful for releasing:
Negative beliefs or fears connected to intimacy, the ability to trust partners and/or transform one's circumstances, shared resources, psychic matters and death.
Traits or tendencies to be obsessive, cruel, controlling, vindictive, jealous, secretive, compulsive, vicious or paranoid.
