Now What?
Thursday - April 25, 2024
Tumblr media
As I am writing this post Mercury is stationing direct after a 24 day retrograde period. As it retrograded to 15° it barely had an exact conjunction with the North Node in Aries, giving us a hint as to what this retrograde was all about.
When Mercury stationed retrograde on April 1st I wrote: "This Mercury retrograde will help peel back another layer of that healing that Chiron started in 2023. Review the events in your life from June to September 2023 and see what was in the process of healing. Now you're going to be see the mental processes behind the creation of the wound."
Now we begin the process of mentally understanding what we're supposed to do with this healing journey we've been on, see the purpose behind it, and to act on what that knowledge shows us.
Many of you are going to see that this healing has a "purpose" above and beyond simply feeling better. It's so you can help others, be a source of guidance and inspiration, and to show others there is a way back from hurt and trauma.
There's a lot of hurt folks out there, and hearing your message and seeing how you got on the other side, is a message desperately needed.
And maybe YOU are the messenger many are looking for.

Taking Time To Relax
Wednesday - April 24, 2024
Tumblr media
Post Full Moon blessings to you. I hope your Full Moon Ceremonies and Observances were powerful, and brought healing. Many experience a big drop in their energy the day after a Full Moon, so I always advise taking it easy to the extent that you can. Don't push it if you don't have to.
But that's also advise to get you ready for the next wave of energies coming your way as Saturn has now moved to 16° Pisces, and Uranus to 22° Taurus. Being disciplined in your spiritual practices, and doing some "breakthrough" work on any goals or projects you have underway, is what these two planets are focused on for the next two weeks or so.
So relax today. Process what that Full Moon was all about. And we'll get back into the swing of things as Mercury comes out of retrograde.

Bullsh*t
Tuesday - April 23, 2024
Tumblr media
You have an internal bullsh*t meter, but society does everything it can to tear it away from you. "They," the people my Elders call "the imagemakers," are the ones who want you in a hive mind, want you on the bandwagon, and don't want you seeing what their real motivation is. And when you strive to break out of it, see things a little more clearly, they'll peg YOU as the outcast, the nonconformist, and the contrarian.
Friends, there is BULLSH*T going on out there you damned well know it. Stop walking in it and then pretending you don't smell the stink.
That is the teaching from today's Full Moon at 4° Scorpio, occurring at 7:48pm ET. If there are two signs that can detect bullsh*t it's Scorpio and Aquarius. This Full Moon is in the sign of Scorpio, and at an Aquarius ruled degree.
Full Moon's always illuminate where your emotions are, giving you the opportunity to see what they are made of, and how they are resonating with your heart. (Remember, the Moon (feelings) gets its illumination from the Sun (heart).)
Where in your heart do you know something that you are willingly participating in is in reality ... bullsh*t? Is it a relationship, job, project, community or idea?
Today's Full Moon says STOP IT, because once that stuff gets on you, it takes a lot to clean it up and get rid of the stink.

Feel The Future
Sunday - April 21, 2024
Tumblr media
There are times when you are "aware" of the future, and times when you can "feel" the future. When I started this humble page back in 2012 (geez, has it been that long!) I could "feel" it was important for my future. Little did I realize it was going to unfold in THIS way, doing the work I'm doing now, with the fabulous souls I am co-creating with.
Now I'm at the next phase of feeling into the future, and I'm not discounting how "important" any of it feels. I've learned my lesson from the past, and I'm paying attention to how my future feels.
And YOU are in the same place. The astrology of today, and for the next week, is enabling you to feel into the future ... like WAY into the future. And while the future probably won't be revealed to you, how it will FEEL most certainly will.
Those feelings are to help guide you today. If I hadn't leaned into the fact that my work was important for me - especially in the face of pages and astrologers with more renown than me - I wouldn't be where I am today.
Lean into a future you may not understand. Because I truly believe if it where fully revealed to you right now, it would so surprise you that you might get in your own way. This is one of those times when you've got to trust and act in faith.

What do you think are good activities to do when venus is conjunct jupiter?
If you are talking about when they conjunct on May 23rd, at 29° Taurus, then this is a day that will test everything you believe about yourself. There's also a Full Moon at 2° Sag, and Jupiter will sextile Neptune. All of us will be facing some illusions we have about ourselves, but more specifically illusions that are keeping from accessing a more powerful part of us and bringing it forth. So if you believe you shouldn't bring forth that talent, you'll have to contend with that belief on this day.
Hope that helps!

Try!
Saturday - April 20, 2024
Tumblr media
Today is the big conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus at 21° Taurus. In reality these two planets have been working together for many months now, but today it seems these two are really working together to get your attention.
Why? Because they want you to try. Try that new idea. Try that new way of doing things. Try that new approach. Try that new outfit.
Just try.
Jupiter is the planet of luck, fortune and opportunity. But only delivers those gifts if you meet it half way. If you will try, Jupiter will try harder. It will expand what you bring it in an attempt to help you, and to further you along toward your goal.
So try. But not some half-hearted, kinda maybe try. No ... a serious try.
And while I am focusing on how to use the affirming aspect of this conjunction (because it's in Taurus, the sign of manifestation, and at 21°, a grand master Jupiter ruled degree), I would be remiss if I didn't alert you to the negative use of this transit.
This can also embolden those with the desire for power to "try" a few things as well. Because they also sense it could work out well. If you find that any of that is directed at you, simply get out of its way, and let it die on its own.
Today, just try. I think you will be surprised where it will take you.

Act On What You Believe
Friday - April 19, 2024
Tumblr media
Welcome to Taurus! The Sun moves into the sign of the Bull at 9:59am ET, and into a season of manifestation and building your future. And as Taurus reason comes in, it brings with it a powerful sextile between Mars in Pisces and the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction at 21° Taurus.
So my advice for today? If you believe in "it," then act on "it."
Do you believe in the power of love? Act like it.
Do you believe your life is worth living and invest in? Act like it.
Do you believe in your relationship with God Universe (or however you refer to the Divine)? Act like it.
Do you believe you bring value into your job/career, relationships, family and world? Act like it.
Do you believe you have ideas and perspectives that can change things for the better? Act like it.
Do you believe in the power of your greater yet to be? Act like it.
Whatever you believe deeply, without hesitation and in full conviction, act like it. Because only in the action can it come into fruition.

The Other Shoe
Thursday - April 18, 2024
Tumblr media
My job as an Astrologer is to advise you of upcoming energies, oftentimes so you don't "misinterpret" them. And that is my goal with this post.
Today Black Moon Lilith (BML) moves to 22° Virgo. BML is a place of hidden fear and sometimes rage. Fear that occurs when you are just being yourself, and are punished or denied opportunities as a result. It's the rage you feel inside when you are forced to be something else in order to comply with what society or authority figures say you must be or do.
As she has toured Virgo (the sign that rules reality) this fear has come up in your daily life, and harder to shake off or ignore. But shake it off and ignore it you MUST DO!
Today BML moves to the volatile 22° mark, a place described as "break down to break thru." This is a degree that brings up the unexpected, and usually out of nowhere you can imagine.
Now thru April 27th don't give in to fears that you're going back to an old reality, or that you can't change the nature of your current reality. Don't engage be like the cliché "waiting for the other shoe to drop."
These fears will feel bigger than they really are, and could have you misinterpreting what they mean for you personally.
Just remember these two things: God Universe doesn't use fear as a means to motivate or inspire. And, there is a big difference between fear and actual danger.
Keep your head about you and you'll be just fine!

Beyond
Wednesday - April 17, 2024
Tumblr media
At the beginning of the year I was tasked with coming up with a word to describe how I wanted to "engage" with the coming year. My word was BEYOND. And here we are in April and I've already gone "beyond" my expectations, and with more to come!
BEYOND is what you are tasked with today, and for the next six days as Jupiter moves to 21° Taurus. 21° is a grand master number of Jupiter and Sagittarius. Jupiter is the planet of luck, fortune and opportunity BECAUSE you took one step "beyond." Beyond your comfort zone. Beyond your fear(s). Beyond your expectations. Beyond your upbringing. Beyond your perceptions. Beyond your beliefs.
Beyond.
Jupiter in Taurus is expanding your manifestation skills, which is why me and my fellow Astrologers have been advising you to stay focused, don't get distracted, and to avoid petty people and dumbasses. Because if you focus on those things Jupiter will expand that as well.
And today is a perfect day to start your beyond-ness, as Venus in Aries conjunct the North Node at 15°, a Venus-ruled degree of opening up to greater for the purpose of showing yourself some Self-Love!
Go Be-Yond ("yond" an archaic word for "yonder"). See where life takes you.

Things To Do!
Tuesday - April 16, 2024
Tumblr media
Today the Sun is at 27° Aries. 27° is the grand master Aries-ruled degree so we get to enjoy a "double-dose" of Aries energy today. Aries is a fire sign, and so is Leo where the Moon finds itself today.
That's a lot of fire in today's chart, prompting you to act (Aries) on the things of your heart (Leo.) This is an excellent day to take action on things that bring you joy, wonder and fulfillment.
And it's also an excellent day for activities that support future goals or projects, such as that new business you want to start, the long trip you want to take, or the new home you want to purchase.
So get to it!
Okay, gotta go! Got things to do! Woo-hoo!!!

Old Memories - New Future
Monday - April 15, 2024
Tumblr media
As Neptune, and more recently Saturn, have toured Pisces, you have been removing layers and layers of karma. You've been closing old karma loops and creating newer, more beneficial karmic energies.
But the memories of that old karma - the past - still linger. So when those old memories are tweaked we "think" them more real than they really are. This is the mind trying to fill in gaps, because it doesn't understand what has happened, and is just going back to what it knows.
The mind will get on board with your new state when you act in ways that support the removal of the karma. And that is especially true today as a retrograde Mercury crosses over Chiron at 19° Aries.
The Sun, Moon AND Chiron conjuncted during the New Moon Solar Eclipse on April 8th, finalizing some BIG healing. But it didn't take away the memories or the habits from that karma.
Today, respond differently to these memories or habits by LITERALLY not engaging with them. Do not misinterpret them as things to do or be today. It's your mind trying to make sense of something it does not understand.
Remember ... that karma is DONE. Your heart knows that, know teach your mind and emotions that as well.

Hands of Faith
Sunday - April 14, 2024
Tumblr media
I continue to be amazed with how God Universe has organized our physical existence. A worthy topic, given we are coming to the last week of the Aries season, the sign that rules the physical body.
Are you aware there are chakras in the hands? The understanding of these chakras varies between Eastern, Western and Vedic philosophies, but they are there, and are meant to be used. This explains why so many people lift their hands toward the skies, or place them on Mother Earth, when engaged with "spiritual" activities.
Today is a day where God Universe is asking you to make your faith more "physical." And especially today as we are accessing some deep feelings, courtesy of the Moon in Cancer AND Pluto at 2° Aquarius. 2 is the "I Feel" state of awareness, meaning we can definitely feel all things Aquarius.
Traditional religion or faith based operations won't do for many of us, but raising your hands to the Sun, or putting your hands on Mother Earth, will help you access your faith. Faith that is greater than some building or doctrine can access.
So try it today, and especially on this day when there is a lot of chaos and "war talk" around us. YOU need your faith, and so does the world ... now more than ever.

Responsible Self-Love
Saturday - April 13, 2024
Tumblr media
Can you love yourself too much? No. But can you more effectively direct and use your Self love? YES!
Today Saturn moves to 15° Pisces, and moves into a quincunx (a.k.a. inconjunct) with the South Node in Libra. We are still in this process of reclassifying relationships. But today the big question is: am I able to love myself most effectively in this relationship.
Literally, in some relationships you spend so much time "catering" to others that you don't get as much "me time" as you need. This doesn't mean these individuals are "bad," or that they're not doing their own inner work. It just means you're having to also participate in their work, and it's taking time away from YOUR work.
As the Moon moves into Cancer later tonight, you'll probably "feel" where these situations exist. It doesn't mean these relationships need to be ended. But it does mean you have to redirect your energies so you can continue your own Self love.
And let me be clear about "Self love." Self love is just another way to view self-awareness. When you love yourself you just naturally want to do deep dives into who you are in order to bring the best version of yourself to the surface.
See where you are with your abilities to love Self. If you have relationships that are requiring you invest more in them than in you, this isn't necessarily "bad." Sometimes it's a part of what we willingly do for others, because it's a temporary situation. But it also means you've got to make sure you get your dose of Self love in order to continue growing and evolving. And this evaluation is going to continue until April 23rd, when Saturn moves to 16° Pisces.

Probable Potential
Friday - April 12, 2024
Tumblr media
Jupiter moves to 20° Taurus today, a degree that invites you to open up to more feelings, and then even MORE feelings. And because Jupiter is in Taurus this is about opening up to feelings about the probable potential of your future. "Probable," as in all indications point to success; "Potential," as in don't limit yourself to what you "think you know."
Feeling this aligned with a "probable potential" is necessary in order to bring it into being. And while the rest of the world is focused on who can make the snarkiest comment on social media, or how much dumbassery they can demonstrate on a given day, you're focused on you, your work, and what you've been called to do.
Purveyors of dark want you to be afraid of the unknown, position it as something to be avoided. Oh please ... y'all move on out of here, 'cause we ain't got time for that mess!

Reconsidering
Thursday - April 11, 2024
Tumblr media
If you've ever owned a Cat you know their tendency to want something - a treat, to go out, or a toy - and then just as quickly to not want it. Cats don't hesitate to change their minds. Aren't embarrassed to "reconsider" things.
Today is the first day since the 19° Aries Solar Eclipse where you might "reconsider" a few things. It's important to see this more as a "course correction," and not that you are abandoning an idea or your plans.
A retrograde Mercury and the Sun conjunct today at 22° Aries. This retrograde Mercury is the planet driving this reconsidering. And at 22° it might shock you to even consider reconsidering. More than likely this is a reconsideration of certain actions you thought you would take. Possibly about the timing of actions, or how they will be taken.
Along with this conjunction is Pluto moving to 2° Aquarius, a place it hasn't been in 246 years. Basically Pluto is inviting you to feel that new things are possible. Because if you don't feel it you won't believe it.
So be okay with reconsidering a few things today, and don't worry ... this isn't about abandoning your plans, but refining them.

And Now The Discipline Starts
Wednesday - April 10, 2024
Tumblr media
While the effects of any Eclipse tend to last around 6 months (until the next Eclipse), you are tasked with taking advantage of its energies almost immediately. And that starts today!
Today Mars and Saturn conjunct at 14° Pisces. Mars is the planet of action, Saturn the planet of self-discipline. Conjuncting (meaning connecting their energies) in Pisces is a reminder to act with self-discipline today. And at 14° it is an understanding that these wounds the Eclipse helped you heal are no longer in the way.
Bottom line: now it's up to you, and you've got to bring self-discipline into the mix in order to use these energies to their highest.
So if you know you need more prayer and meditation in your life, there's no excuse. If you know eating less sugar is what you need, there is no excuse. If you realize a relationship needs to be reclassified, there is no excuse.
While there may be a "reason" you are not ready to invest in your self-discipline, it is now up to you to discover this reason, and find a solution.
But after that powerful Eclipse ... there may be "reasons" but there are no more excuses.

Quiet
Tuesday - April 9, 2024
Tumblr media
That was a wallop of a Solar Eclipse. I'm seeing reports of people who slept thru it, or who are now exhausted and can't seem to "get going." I expect that will be the case for a few days.
To the extent you can today, just be in a place of quiet and stillness. Eclipses are purposeful about how they reveal their teachings to you, and this one had a LOT to teach. And for many of my readers, you will start hearing those teachings as soon as today.
As you go about your day, take time to listen, and to move into the quiet. It will help you filter out the noise so you can hear that small, still voice that has the big, booming message.
