I hope this letter finds you well. The major events this week are the Full Moon in Scorpio on the 23rd and Mercury stationing direct on the 25th. Matters ruled by your Aries house will once again start moving forward (Thank Goddess).
**All times are PACIFIC TIME
**Note on VOID OF COURSE Moon (VOC) periods**
The VOC period begins when the Moon makes the last major aspect to another planet while in the Zodiac sign it is currently in and ends when the transit Moon enters the next sign.
Void moons are good for quiet solo work. Focus on planning, organizing and tying up loose ends. Don’t launch anything. If you want eyeballs on your work you will avoid sharing during a Void Moon. Don’t sign contracts, don’t hold meetings and don’t make big purchases. If you want to be remembered you will also schedule auditions, interviews and dates for times when the Moon is not void-of-course.
TIP: Mark these VOC periods down in your daily planner and/or highlight these hours in your digital calendar.
Sunday 21 April
Moon in Libra
Sun in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius
A good day for social events and for art - from craft-working to enjoying art. Visit an art gallery or sit in appreciation of the beauty that surrounds you.
The T-square is part of the upcoming Full Moon in Scorpio. When the Sun opposes Pluto it’s tempting to try to exert control over your environment and everyone in it. This aspect can trigger obsessive-compulsive behaviour. Obsessions are unwanted and intrusive thoughts that trigger intense emotions.Compulsions are the behaviour we engage in to attempt decreasing these obsessions/unwanted thoughts.
Challenging Sun-Pluto aspects go beyond the standard astrological narrative around power. Inevitably what you need to address are issues around trust. A conversation or a situation today may reveal that you don’t trust yourself (and, therefore, find it hard to trust others). My favorite take on what it means to have innate or personal trust comes from Buddhism which teaches that nothing lasts forever. If you cling to anything you will lose it. Innate trust is developed when you do the following:
Be mindful in the present moment (don’t think about your future)
Act in this moment according to your values
The invitation today is to develop the strength you need to stay present without attachment or clinging to a particular outcome.
Monday 22 April
VOC 4:24pm - 8:19am
Moon opposes Mercury in Aries.
Moon Opposition Chiron.
A day that can potentially trigger wounds around “enoughness” /worth. Not the day for conversations or social media posts about sensitive topics. I imagine some people will do their best to be “provocative”. Do not engage. The Libra Moon continues to encourage harmony.
Things improve somewhat in the afternoon when the Moon opposes Venus.
Tuesday 23 April
Full Moon in Scorpio 8:19am

Excerpt:
Arriving after the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction that reanimated and pierced through sluggish and stale thinking and demanded a revolt of our Taurus house, we now find the Moon in the nutrient-rich and bone-strewn grounds of Scorpio.
Something has been lost or sacrificed. Perhaps you now find yourself unemployed, or between jobs, perhaps a worn out belief has been thrown out, perhaps a lover has moved on…

Wednesday 24 April
Moon Trine Saturn 3:51pm
An aspect that brings to mind sea salt and blood. A day of creativity rooted in the shadows. A day of so-called synchronicities. The manifestation of secret desire.
Thursday 25 April
Moon Trine Mars 11:25am
Emotions align with drive. You should get a lot done today.
VOC 4:16pm - 6:37pm
Moon in Sagittarius 6:37pm
MERCURY STATIONING DIRECT!
A great day for comedy, theater and meeting up with friends. You may find your mind wandering to the future. When the Moon travels through the sign of the Archer we tend to Think Big and Aim High. Not a good day for long hikes or strenuous activities if you are not fit or have not put in the requisite training hours.
