Mon April 02- Sun April 08MoonWeek Libra thru Capricorn
Moonday is named after the Moon and it's fitting the full Moon falls there today. It's a Cardinal sign Moon being in Libra and the Sun in Aries. The mirror to self and other(s) is up and whether you choose to look or not it's going to be looking at you. The weekend and first couple of days of the week are flavored by it. Venus also squares Saturn today and the pull on those ropes can go either way, the tune of harmony gets flattened or the stoic and solid get a feel for the supple and evolutionary Full Moon's are 'oppositions' that is when astral bodies are actually opposite each other. With full moon's we're in the middle, get it? The Lunar Eclipse last month was the biggest evidence of it. During this last weekend issues that the eclipse exposed were revisited. With the full moon we see them in the perspective of "me and everything else that's not me" Sounds simple but it's the framework of every life. Some people are uber givers, to the point they drain themselves and don't evolve. The other extreme is the 'only me' and that leads to entropy and again no evolution. As the saints have told us, the seer must become the seen. Always a tough concept to absorb but this moon each year gives us a chance to feel it and not think about it. Observe how you interact with the 'we' and where it has rough spots. The tougher is our internal 'we'; the collage of impressions, conditions and experiences that are the person in the mirror. More accurately the person you see when you close your eyes. This is a moon to use 'cause it's surely going to use you. With the Libra moon there is energy out there to heal wounds instantly or create large ones unconsciously. It's like an instant Karma window and we can all use some of that tuning. Instead of the old, "if you can't say anything nice..." maybe we could try, "if you can't think anything nice, don't think at all." Tuesday the roller coaster takes a bump, it's the monthly Scorpio moon transit! It always sounds fun when we think of the stereotype of it but the depth of the scorpionic vision is tougher to really imbibe. The Moon is in Scorpio most of the mid-week so the sooner you get with the groove the quicker your dance gets synced. This transit lets secrets up from the depths, exposes the hidden, and calls us to look to the depth of our cosmology. Whatever your puja, prayer, dance, now is the time to use it.! Wednesday we still have the Scorpio moon and these degrees give a sense that you have x-ray vision. Scorpio natives all have this and it's as if we've borrowed their glasses. Take care; as sometimes things are secret to those you expose them about. On the incoming people can tell you things about yourself that you didn't know, so first is the 'shock of secret' then you get down to the revelation itself Venus squares Neptune and the sprinkle of harmony is applied to our deep drives and desires. Dreams of a way out of a predicament can flash if you remember them. It can be daydreams or meditation too. The other side is that our passions of a dark nature, excess' of the consumer life can be activated. You can see them for the base motivations they are. Mars aspects Pluto today also and there could be some violent and unexpected activity in the news. Yes it's easy to say that and the world is an orgy of violence right now but I'm talking something fresh that takes it to a new level. On the personal there is a burst of energy and as we know you only judge it positive and negative by how it moves through you, so be a supple and grounded filter and you could get some surprises that move a group project into turbo. Thursday the moon is STILL in Scorpio most of the day. A brave perspective is to really survey this week for the times you felt that you weren't in rhythm, didn't follow the conversation or just had no energy. What scenarios did they happen in, with whom? You can glean insight into where you're putting your energies today, and without judgment see if it would be more beneficial to shift them. Jupiter turns retrograde today, the massive planet will be retrograde until early August. So the principle of expansion is in review, don't bemoan there is always expansion in our lives. Lots of times we shallow information, new skills, relationships before we fully chew them. Now we have a few months to masticate our reality. Flowing with this we can examine where we've grown this last cycle. Investigation is a method of expansion, and really looking over where the new chutes are in your garden makes pruning less of a chore. Friday the moon moves into Sagittarius and the x-ray vision gets transformed into peering at the horizon. The places we want to go, the things we want to learn. Journeys of the mind/body/soul all begin with the concept, so when you're wistfully contemplating that course you want to take or that mountain you want to visit sense down and see what in you it would satisfy, where is the root of the longing. This can be as important or more then the journey, the force behind the desire. Mars moves into Pisces and is building towards a square with Venus next week. The component of vigorousness and general energy has a soft edge on it until next month. In areas of conflict there can be some intuitive and psychic understanding brought into situations. Pisces natives get a boost and can use it to fire up some parts of you that haven't gotten to flow lately. Saturday we still have the moon in the Archer Sagittarius and Mercury sextiles Venus. This is a great transit to get the artwork, song, map, and recipe out of you and into the world. By way of doing it, painting it or writing it. Communication is high and clear today, tinged with the blessings of Venus and the ability for all of us to raise our game and channel a little more of the divine through us as tellers and listeners. Sunday the moon moves into stately Capricorn and we cool off a bit but gain some of the 'big picture' perspective and can see the various accounts of our lives clearly. It's a good time to survey your cave and get it in order, home is where the heart is but we could all practice putting heart where the home is a little more. Saturn trines the Sun today bringing the fires signs Aries and Sagittarius together. For you Saturn return folks, you know who you are, this is a station to review and take a breath, use this fire energy on Saturn the metal planet to heat up areas of your being that need to be stretched and reshaped. I'm not just talking about the hamstrings! Dealing with Saturn is no joke, for the Jyotish it's the most difficult planet. Saturn will not compromise so it's a chance to see our limits, come to peace with them and then the creativity will come to evolve through them. Truly nature's favorite flavor is change.
