From April 22nd to the 30th activation is real, inner, and personal.
Our thinking must change. A new approach, even to fundamental issues, can bring a welcome alteration to our perspectives. It’s time to shed worn out beliefs. Letting go of despair or self-doubt will automatically lift our spirits. This is not the easiest of times. We all have a responsibility to do our best to bring about a better world for all.
22nd – Monday – Venus Contra-parallel Saturn, Venus Semi-sextile Uranus –
We don’t have to do anything to make this day special. Just showing up is enough. Dancing, singing, reading some lines of poetry lift our spirits. We may be nervous and don’t know why. It is good to get some extra rest. It is enough to be part of the parade as it unfolds over the next few days. Choosing compatible partners helps us get on the right frequency.
23rd – Tuesday – Venus Semi-sextile Jupiter, Full Moon is at 7:49 PM EDT on 4 degrees Taurus/Scorpio –
If we can remember to “put on our own oxygen mask first”, we can be useful to everyone else. Gathering and planting are both necessary. We ordinarily think of a harvest happening months after we sow seeds. Months separate them, but there is a truth that we expend karma at the same time we create it – usually. The best attitude toward today is to purge ourselves of everything not necessary without trying to resupply. We will get what we need going forward; this means having faith.
24th – Wednesday – We are reaching for the unobtainable, but this is not just an exercise. In order to get comprehensive coverage for our actions, we need to flex our mind as well as our muscles. The acceleration of change may periodically transfix, now is the time to look at our own thought process. If we know what we want to be different, we can correct our mental patterns.
25th – Thursday – Mercury turns Direct – In the process of charting a new course, we can remember why we started on the journey in the first place.
When principles are sacrificed for expediency, we must return to the same point on the wheel to correct our behavior. There is a reason that we collectively admire some behaviors and disparage others. What builds character?
26th – Friday – Fired up and ready to go. Let the weekend begin.
There is nothing that needs our attention so much that we are redirected. Adventure is a necessary component of a balanced life. Since innovation is coming faster than we can assimilate it, we can easily fall into an echo chamber of our own making. We either ignore a large amount of what is going on, or fall into the delusion that we really do grasp it all. Our best move is to accept our exposure is our enclosure.
27th – Saturday – Venus Semi-sextile Mars – Let’s face it – we need each other.
How do we have a meaningful personal life when the rules for relating keep changing? The shifting sands of dating, romance, and sex seem to get more complicated every year, and today we must confront our own preconception. Love in any form has virtue. Our job is to know what is right for us and no one else.
28th – Sunday – Venus Semi-sextile Neptune, Mercury Semi-sextile Saturn –
When our actions fall short of our expectations, it is helpful to remember that important journeys begin with the first step, not with the planning. However small our contributions may feel in our own eyes, they are not in vain. Reason can be the first move to go beyond reason; simple acts of kindness can be preliminary to the unfolding of true compassion.
29th – Monday – Mars Conjunct Neptune, Mars Parallel Neptune, Venus enters Taurus –
Wisdom comes in stillness. The path to truth feels right. The smallest expression of truthfulness, offered with sincerity, can build toward a grand finale somewhere down the line; but more importantly, when we do the right thing, we give birth to inner joy.
30th – Tuesday – Mars enters Aries, Venus Semi-square Saturn –
Action is required, but we need to face the facts, we have been experiencing conflict between duty and desire. A mature love can reveal the amalgamation of the two. Harmony and satisfaction is found in everyday life. The brutally practical can pave the highway to a brilliant future for all.
