The Sky Now - An Astrology Blog (April 11)

Monday the Moon is in Leo.  Mercury shifted into Taurus overnight and the Mercury/Pluto square is still in effect.  Express yourself, but don’t go too far and do be on the lookout for ego surges.  If you can keep it light you can really have some fun today.  However, if you have any unfinished business hanging over you in your life this would be a good day to begin dealing with it, before said business arrives at your doorstep bearing consequences.

Tuesday at 10:08 AM  EDT the Moon moves into Virgo.  Virgo lunar energies can trigger anxiety, particularly in those already predisposed.  We are focused on analysis of Earth element issues when the Moon is in Virgo, so security, particularly in the physical and material sense.  Being of use, of service, to others will feel good under these energies.  Jupiter in Pisces is conjunct Neptune in Pisces on Tuesday. This is the Holy Grail of astrology.  This aspect really sets the astrological tone for the next few days. Spirituality, enlightenment, serenity, awareness, compassion, love, creativity and serendipitous good fortune are all hallmarks of the conjunction between these two planets, and particularly in Pisces.  Looking for new inspiration and meaning in life?  Well this may be the week you find it.   Also on Tuesday the Sun in Aries will sextile Saturn in Aquarius. This aspect brings focus and discipline in work and projects, is ideal for commitment that lasts and it can inspire the altruistic towards new humanitarian work helping others, work that will have lasting effects.

Wednesday there are no new astrological developments or aspects.  With Virgo lunar energies predominating Wednesday will be a good day for getting things done. Do try to create space for rebalancing and inner energy regeneration at some point during the day via engaging or participating in whatever form your personal spiritual practice takes.

Thursday at 4:46 PM EDT the Moon transits into Libra.  These lunar energies are conciliatory and harmony building.  Libra is a social sign and you can feel a desire to connect and interact under these energies.  This is a good day to make social plans for Friday and the weekend.   Mars transits into Pisces late Thursday at 11:05 PM EDT.

Friday is another quiet day in the zodiac skies.  The Moon in Libra is the most significant astrological influence Friday. Go with the flow and do what feels good for you.  With the shift of Mars to Pisces overnight it will probably be best to not to take on too much Friday.  Friday will be a good date night for many.  If things go further than simply a date be extra sure of consent on an ongoing basis though with that Mars entry into Pisces.  Mars in Pisces can confuse or complicate matters.  

Saturday we have a Full Moon in Libra at 2:54 PM EDT.  Leading up to the Full Moon Saturday should be a pleasurable day for most.  Picnic in the park, backyard barbecue.  Good vibes, good times.  And we need those, no matter what may be going on around us or in our life. Take stock of what is good in your life on Full Moon in Libra day, be grateful for the good and enjoy it.  The Moon moves into Scorpio at 8:23 PM EDT, which can have us all retreating into our self and our emotions. 

Sunday situations that don’t come with depth can bring frustration, we want more when the Moon is in Scorpio, particularly Water sign people.  Mercury in Taurus sextiling Venus in Pisces will turn our thoughts to love and relationship.  Mercury in Taurus conjunct Uranus in Taurus can inspire us to break free of situations that do not give us what we really need.  This can be work, as well as love or friendship.
