| | Dear Stargazers,
The coming week is apt to be a tense one for many of you due to a number of provocative planetary aspects that can easily promote anxiety, arguments and frustration even under the best of circumstances.
And what's more, even the promise of the Taurus new moon isn't all that promising.
To help you navigate your week and hopefully reduce the potential effects of this energy in your life, I recorded a weekly forecast in which I go into detail about the influence of the aspects, provide additional details into the new moon beyond what I've written here, offer my insights into Pluto's retrograde cycle and provide some practical guidance for handling it all!

| | NEW MOON AT 3°24' TAURUS April 22, 2020 | 10:26 PM Washington, DC
This month's new moon takes place in Taurus, the sign that rules income, tangible goods and values.
As it happens, the new moon is conjunct Uranus, which rules unexpected events, separations, rebellions and panic, and the three of them (Sun, Moon, Uranus) are squaring Saturn (authority, limitation and fear).
Saturn (limitations) squaring the Sun/Moon/Uranus conjunction in Taurus (tangible items) suggests that shortages will continue during the coming weeks, and when items are received in stock they're going to continue to be limited. It also suggests that while we'll see more protests in the USA as well as in the world, we're also likely to see local, state and/or federal governments crack down on them.

| | Getting Personal
It may be hard to think about new beginnings if you can't act on them but the truth of the matter is that while many new beginnings start with an action (meeting someone or getting a job), most beginnings start with a thought (I'm ready to meet someone; I want a new position).
Life is NEVER stagnant. As you consider which life areas are being influenced by this new moon, (they're revealed by the horoscope house that's hosting this new moon in your chart), remember that it's okay if you can't take concrete action anytime soon because the energetic seeds you're planting don't have an expiration date.
If you don't know which house holds 3°24' of Taurus in your horoscope, you can refer to the list below to find out where the new moon falls in your solar (sun-sign based) chart.

Aries, it falls in your 2nd house (income, spending, personal values, self-esteem, tangible assets).
Taurus, it falls in your 1st house (your physical body, attitude towards life).
