| | Dear Stargazers,
My last newsletter included an article about Saturn stationing retrograde which, since it occurs tomorrow, should have been featured in this newsletter. (Oops!) To keep the information timely, I'm including it in this issue, but I've included a footnote at the end where you can click a link to get further insight about its influence on your life.
That said, let's take a peek at what's coming up!

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.

| | SATURN STATIONS RETROGRADE
April 29 - September 18, 2019
Every year Saturn transits retrograde for approximately 4.5 months, and like all retrograde transits, it's best used for introspection rather than initiation.
When it comes to Saturn, you reap what you sow, which means that you ultimately rise or fall according to your own efforts.
While Saturn is retrograde, you're being given the opportunity to review what you've been doing up until now, identify any missteps and correct them. In short, it's time to review your circumstances and assess whether there are any weak links in your life that need to be addressed.
If so, you need to determine whether or not it can (or should) be repaired or whether it's best to let it go and start anew.
Whether you opt to repair or rebuild, the energy of this cycle will support your efforts to lay a strong foundation so that when Saturn stations direct, you'll move forward knowing that you're on firm ground.

Which life area (or areas) is Saturn asking you to examine for weak spots? Look to the house in your horoscope that holds the degree of Saturn's station, which is 20°31' Capricorn.

| | NEW MOON IN 14°11' TAURUS May 4, 2019 | 6:46 PM Washington, DC
This month's new moon takes place in the most grounded, loyal and productive sign in the zodiac.
While other signs may cut and run, Taurus goes the distance, and while other signs do so as well, it's the Bull that goes down with the ship. That's why the energy of a Taurus new moon is perfect for setting long-range goals and initiating long-term plans that require patience and commitment.
With a trine to Saturn ensuring stability and a sextile to Neptune promoting vision, the aspects to this new moon are fortunate. However, the lack of any hard energy that could serve as a trigger for your new moon intentions means that you'll need to take some type of action to help them germinate.
Although this isn't the most robust new moon, it's still a good one so don't let it go to waste! |

| | Manifesting with the Taurus New Moon
You can set any intention under any new moon, but when it's in the practical, grounded and determined sign of the Bull, it favors:
Actions, intentions and affirmations to boost your income, increase your earning potential, attract material assets, strengthen your self-esteem and assist you in establishing new priorities This lunar energy is also helpful for attracting qualified financial planners and investment experts into your life.
|
| | TRANSITING MERCURY IN TAURUS May 6 - May 21, 2109
On May 6, we'll experience an energetic shift as transiting Mercury leaves the quick-acting sign of Aries and moves into the cautious sign of Taurus.
So what can you expect from this transit? Since the nature of Mercury is curious, analytical and reflective, and Taurus is the natural ruler of the second house of earned income, its influence will focus the collective consciousness on thoughts of financial security. With the first third of the year behind us, as well as tax time here in the USA, this energy comes at a perfect time because it supports financial planning.
However, our financial health isn't the only resource ruled by the Bull. It also presides over our values, which includes how much we value ourselves. Since our self-esteem is tied to how much we feel we deserve, which in turn determines how much we can receive, this is an excellent time to examine where we stand in the self-love department.
