Planetary Activity
Apr. 14: Mars enters Pisces Apr. 16: Full Moon in Libra
Tuesday, April 12: Sun sextile Saturn
This is an excellent day for professional matters or any task that requires attention to detail. Should you need to work overtime or spend additional hours on a project, this influence will support your stamina and concentration.
Sunday, April 17: Mercury sextile Venus • Mercury conjunct Uranus
Mercury's strong influence today means you're likely to express your feelings today, but whether it occurs as a planned discussion or a a spontaneous declaration is another question. The good news is that the easy flow between Mercury and Venus suggests that the mind and heart are on the same page, so either way your message should be well received.
Daily Energy
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 12
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 16 | | | JUPITER-NEPTUNE CONJUNCTION
April 12, 2022
Known as the greater fortune, Jupiter expands whatever it touches and as it conjuncts Neptune, we could experience an increased sense of faith, hope and compassion. It could also boost our intuition and imagination, as well as inspire us to dream BIG.
Since there are two sides Pisces (higher and lower), Jupiter will also expand its less desirable side. If things are going well, some of us could let fear or self-pity get the better of us, or we could fall prey to some kind of deception.
This conjunction applies to the world as well. While the higher side of this influence can promote understanding and peace, its lower side can promote lies and propaganda.
Collectively and personally, under this influence we can be an enlightened sage or the biggest fool.
Fortunately, we all have free will, and my advice is to use yours to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime influence, which will remain in effect until April 17. So dream big. Create a vision board. Develop your intuition. Have compassion. Imagine a bountiful future. Be kind to yourself. Send love to the world.
And take heed if something seems too good to be true.

This month's full moon in the sign of relationships is likely to be a tense one that could bring a struggling union to an end.
With the Moon in Libra opposing the Sun in Aries, the spotlight is on the need for balance in relationships. However, Pluto squaring the full moon suggests that matters connected to shared finances, intimacy, jealousy, control issues come to a boiling point as long-standing resentments have nowhere to hide.
While Libra is associated with committed romantic relationships such as marriage, as the ruler of the 7th house it presides over best friends, business partners, competitors and adversaries. If a union ends under a full moon and Mercury isn't retrograde (it's not), endings are likely to be final, and with Pluto involved, they're also likely to be ugly.
However, you can avoid a potential worst case scenario by resisting any temptation to take the bait or respond in a way that will only escalate matters.
If cooler heads prevail, this full moon will offer an opportunity to transcend any unresolved relationship issues or patterns and transform your union.

Releasing with the Libra Full Moon
You can set release anything under any full moon but when it happens to be in Libra, it's especially favorable for releasing:
Negative beliefs or attitudes connected to marriage, partnerships close friends and other committed relationships, as well as for releasing relationships that no longer fulfill you.
Traits and tendencies to be a people pleaser, co-dependent, shallow, vain, over-accommodating, self-indulgent, pretentious or unable to make a decision for fear of making the wrong one. | | | TRANSITING MARS IN PISCES After fighting the good fight in Aquarius and being celebrated as a rebel with a cause, it was time for Mars to bid farewell to the sign of unpredictability and become acquainted with the sign of tranquility. Taking several big breaths, Mars dove into the watery world known as Pisces where he quickly discovered that his role as the conquering hero was at odds with this gentle, sensitive and sentimental sign that offers everyone kindness, compassion and counseling.
Whereas the Moon finds this sympathetic atmosphere utterly delightful, Mars experiences it as a hostile environment. Instead of feeling refreshed and renewed after immersing himself in its sea of tranquility, he initially feels physically tired, emotionally drained and very much like Samson after his encounter with the deceptive Delilah.
However, once he gains his sea legs, Mars discovers that his strength has not diminished but instead is simply being expressed in the yet unfamiliar form of romantic yearnings, artistic inspiration and spiritual insights. Reminded once again that he really needs to curb his impulsive side, Mars realizes that he is not being held captive by the shadow side of Pisces but is being embraced by its higher side. Likewise, during this time, those of us who are not that idealistic, creative or introspective are likely to experience a decrease in motivation, an increase in procrastination and perhaps a touch of despair. However, if we open ourselves up to this energy instead of resisting it with our ego, we too will experience its higher side.
Despite gaining a deeper understanding, and yes, even an appreciation, for Pisces, when all is said and done Mars is still not comfortable in this emotionally sensitive sign.
Although he may be guilty of many things, no one will ever accuse Mars of being a wimp (except for Pluto but even then only behind his back), so when faced with the prospect of doing time in Pisces, he’s determined to make the most of it.
With his strong sense of nobility, Mars embraces the Pisces philosophy of selfless service and sets out to safeguard those who are vulnerable and in need of protection. Consequently, by the time Mars bids farewell to Pisces he will be assured of a rousing – and well-deserved – hero’s welcome when he returns home to Aries. | |
