Mercury stations Direct tomorrow morning 15ARIES58, @ 8:55 AM EDT, 11th House, the natural home of Aquarius ruled by Uranus.
Mercury is the prince of intellect, communication, avenues of expression, and patron of travelers. He possesses reasoning ability, awareness, and rules the brain, sight, mouth, and tongue among many other body parts, including ALL hormones.
As the bearer of the caduceus, he holds healing power and has the ability to transcend dimensions.
Mercury's action can be knee-jerk, uncertain, and sometimes volatile under certain influences. Where we find Mercury in our chart indicates where and how we communicate best.
Aries
Aries is associated with quick changes and sudden forks in the road. Their life is marked by arriving at a certain place and then being turned in a new direction. Life is adventurous!
There is a dynamic restlessness to the Aries character. With the Sun in this sign, you are an activist and doer. If you have a new plan or idea—you can't wait to plunge in! The amusing little prayer, "Grant me patience NOW!" is typical of the Arien attitude.
When others first meet them, their instant impression is of something exciting, vibrant, talkative. Others will be lucky if they can get a word in edgewise. If someone brings up a topic, they will be delighted to tell in great detail exactly what they think about it.
Aries gravitate toward the center of action. They are audacious and intent on getting their own way. Since their nature is to express power, they treat opposition as an annoyance to be brushed out of the way. They are a natural leader who exudes self-confidence.
They are generous about helping others in a crisis. They are openhearted and share ideas and advice and will even pick up the check. They are uninterested in the small and petty!
Mercury in Aries
It's not difficult to figure out how this transit will play continue to play out! Our attention to details and styles of communication become more proactive, improves, and increases. And what I mean by increases is not just substance but speed.
When Mercury is transiting through Aries, we need to keep a tight rein on our temperament, or we may find our actions more impulsive, hot-headed, and aggressive than we realize.
Because Mercury indicates short-term trips, this applies to travel as well, or we may discover ourselves in the midst of road-rage.
Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, the God of War. This transit heralds' fresh ideas and an eagerness to begin; however, Aries is not known for long periods of effort and concentration to complete what they begin.
Short-term projects and goals are more favored during this period.
Mercury in Aries Natal:
The keyword for this natal placement is "Impulsive". You are imaginative, and you have good foresight and a desire to be first in everything.
You can express yourself easily and you can improvise beautifully. At times you use your nervous energies cuttingly or even sarcastically.
Impetuous and impulsive, you may tend to sudden shifts and changes of viewpoint This placement is not well adapted for sustained mental effort; therefore, you need to cultivate patience and learn to not be impatient with delays.
Witty, inventive, and quick on the trigger your ideas are original. You can be combative and love a good debate. Sometimes you can be too headstrong or too self-centered.
If there are challenging aspects from Mercury to Jupiter in your chart, you are prone to exaggeration and tend to look at the world as you wish it to be, not as it really is.
Many fixed planets in our chart will help to stabilize this placement.

Full Pink Moon in Scorpio perfect @ 7:48 PM EDT, tomorrow evening, April 23, 1st House, the natural home of Aries ruled by Mars, also one of Scorpio's co-rulers: Scorpio energy represents transformation and is connected to the Phoenix. The Phoenix has the ability, the strength, and the power to birth itself from ashes. From the ashes it rises into its true and highest form.
Nick Drake always rises to my mind whenever the Pink Moon burgeons. I own all of his CD's.
“And now we rise/And we are everywhere.”
~ Nick Drake, “From The Morning”, Pink Moon, post houmous platinum album.
Historically, Moon's moniker is a traditional name referring to spring wildflowers, pink phlox, that bloom in North America.
However, according to farmers, it's the Moon of renewal, suggesting reincarnation, as demonstrated by the reemergence of flora, fauna, and animals rising from hibernation. Alternative names for this lunation:
• Chinese: Peony Moon
• Celtic: Growing Moon
• Wiccan: Seed Moon
• Cherokee: Flower Moon
• Southern Hemisphere: Harvest Moon, Hunter’s Moon
Spiritually, it provides an opportunity to release any intense emotions within us.
I selected the Nick Drake because a Pink Moon doesn't go by without me thinking of him; and I sense the album "Pink Moon" ( a title Drake insisted on) reflected the meaning and challenge of this Lunation, which is why he penned the lyrics:
I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
None of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
Scorpio is the keeper of secrets, but we cannot hide from this lunation. Scorpio also symbolizes both beginning and endings, therefore, coupled with a Full Moon, transformation will be a major factor behind the power of this particular moon, ready or not.
As we emerge from a period of hibernation, we are embracing the vibrant energy of the spring season. Scorpio, known for its intense passion, is often associated with this lunation, which is believed to be imbued with desire from this profound water sign.
This is an intense and emotionally charged event; therefore, is also considered one of the most opportune times for releasing and letting go.
For those who do not like change, this moon could cause emotional upheaval. For those who have learned to master the flow with ease and grace, this moon can still dredge up deep emotions that could rock your foundation.
It's time to take matters into your own hands and end anything that doesn't serve your greater good. Be it relationship, job, project, or even a material aspect of your life which drains resources.
Failure to release anything not serving your highest good, OR resisting change will only cause emotional suffering and anxiety.
Something in your life needs to come to an end, and the full super blood moon will force you to make the transition into the new period. However, you could think of is as an opportunity for new beginnings!
Scorpio’s influence over this moon will dredge up your emotions to the surface. It's best not to fight the emergence of that which you may have buried or hidden. The only way out is through. Sit with them and allow them to dissolve naturally in acceptance and release.
Whether in the Northern Hemisphere or Southern, both carry themes of release from what we no longer need or feels heavy for us.
Scorpio's ruling planet is Pluto, which is one of the major influences in the astrology of 2024, so we want to make sure we are fully honoring our inner truth, as well as seeking out the truth from others during this lunation.
When in its shadow, Scorpio is the darkest, deepest sign of the Zodiac. Co-ruled by Pluto and Mars, the Scorpion mystery is magnified by the shadow energies of both these planets. Mercury in Rx certainly doesn't assist during this time.
If not consciously controlled, those shadow energies can appear thru outward struggles such as: competitive self-expression, subtle manipulation and/or over-powering tactics of domination.
If we recognize these within ourselves, rest assured, we've become unbalanced with the Universe and natural order of things.
Scorpio energy represents transformation and is connected to the Phoenix. The Phoenix has the ability, the strength, and the power to birth itself from ashes. From the ashes it rises into its true and highest form.
And so can we during this intensely powerful lunation by utilizing the energy for our benefit, and the benefit of all.

Jupiter conjunct Uranus: Embracing Change and Opportunity
Tomorrow night, Jupiter conjunct Uranus perfects for the first time in 14 years and is the last time it will happen in Taurus in our lifetime.
The next won't happen again until 2037 in Cancer; therefore, this could very well be the final conjunction between these two some of us will see in this lifetime.
This conjunction happens in the 6th House, the natural home of Virgo ruled by Mercury. This aspect of us is concerned with scheduling, preferring a certain order throughout the day.
It includes daily responsibilities, reflecting the nature of our work, our workplace, and, because work and health are linked in this house, our approach to health maintenance.
Essentially, it's our daily functioning.
Traditionally, pets fall under the Sixth House as well, since they are a part of our routine and require our daily care.
It's very important to become familiar with the Taurus sector of your natal chart. If you have planets or angles around 21° in Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, or Pisces, you will likely experience the positive manifestations of Jupiter conjunct Uranus.
If instead, you have planets or angles around 21°in the other fixed signs, this powerful transit might challenge you at first. It’s not that the developments Jupiter and Uranus bring are not positive in essence, but it may not feel that way at first, because change is not always easy, especially for fixed signs.
Regardless of the events that transpire during this conjunction, be mindful of any messages or insights you receive. Opportunities will arise – it's imperative to receive them openly and move forward.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the great benefic, bringing opportunities for growth and expansion, and our abilities to improve ourselves.
Jupiter's action is orderly and promotes health and growth. It a planet of abundance, seeking understanding through knowledge, and represents the realm of possibilities.
A favorably aspected Jupiter is commonly associated with good fortune, yet it may also represent blind optimism, excess, and overindulgence. In an astrological chart, Jupiter reflects your capacity for generosity and tolerance, along with your methods for improving your life.
Uranus
Uranus is the awakener representing the freedom urge or divine discontent; it's the planet of breakthroughs, radical forward-thinking, progress, and surprises.
It's considered by many to be the upper octave of Mercury and the first of the transcendental planets recently associated with earthquakes and other natural disasters because its action can be sudden, unexpected, and often violent.
Governing our creative will and ingenuity, Uranus inspires humanitarian, intellectual, and utopian visions that benefit the collective. With an insight to nature's laws, Uranus rules science, inventions, magic, light, astrology, and psychology.
And of course, Associated with personal freedom, this planet highlights areas where our independence reigns supreme and rules are seen as mere suggestions. Here, personal liberty is paramount, irrespective of the consequences.
Conjunction
The expansive nature of Jupiter harmonizes with the progressive trajectory of Uranus, nurturing an optimistic and positive perspective.
Our belief in the plethora of opportunities and a positive mindset can draw our dreams closer to reality. This self-fulfilling prophecy paves the way for the effortless realization of our aspirations.
Opportunities will unexpectedly present themselves in different aspects of our life, including relationships, education, and finances. Be ready to embrace these opportunities, as they might emerge spontaneously, without any deliberate effort from us.
An insatiable thirst for knowledge can drive us, with the belief that acquiring knowledge leads to mental liberation, personal empowerment, and a richer life. We are encouraged to devise a personal study program to attain expertise and use this knowledge as a cornerstone for initiating projects that maximize our potential.
Don't be surprised if our mind resembles a beehive abuzz with an overabundance of ideas that appear challenging. Manifestation is going to require the utmost discipline and focus to nurture them into reality.
One suggestion is to align ourselves with forward-thinking individuals and collectives committed to societal transformation, as Uranus is the humanitarian of the Zodiac.
Adopting innovative political ideologies and unconventional ways of living may also benefit us moving forward. Our visionary perspectives have the potential to motivate others to transcend restrictive habits and welcome the unpredictable forces of change.
The possibilities rely on our ability to embrace the liberating influence of change and actively take steps to manifest our visions.
This transit carries a certain magic. Uranus introduces an element of excitement, and Jupiter indicates that, although we may not predict Uranus's surprises, they are likely to be positive, as long as our mindsets are intent on that outcome.
In May, Venus conjuncts both Jupiter and Uranus, reactivating some once-in-a-lifetime types of opportunities. But that's for another post.

First Quarter Moon in Cancer @ 3:13 PM EDT, 12th House. Balance dreams, wishes, and goals with action such as structural planning. Avoid the escapist urge associated with the 12th to make great strides spiritually.
Some astrologers consider this phase a "crisis of action" because the success of our New Moon intentions hinge on our steps to manifest it. "Crisis" stems from the aftermath of doubt and insecurity which may hinder our belief to keep working toward what we dream.
Failure to act will assuredly guarantee the demise of whatever we desired. This doesn't mean forever, of course—there are always moments to begin anew. With the Sun in Aries, there's strength and courage to sustain our hope if we feel paralyzed.
Later this morning and into early afternoon ( EDT ), Mercury Rx in Aries conjunct Chiron in Aries and the Moon in Cancer square Eris in Aries within an hour of one another: Communicating and/or admitting our wounds is the first step to healing them. This may be accompanied by discord or pushback from others who don't wish to see us rise or establish healthy boundaries.
Midafternoon the Sun in Aries square OOB Moon ( EDT ). Emotions are unpredictable and could easily turn volatile if we forgo awareness. Healing and endings are typically accompanied by discomfort. Recognizing it for what it is, is actually the hidden strength that can transform blocks into steps.
This evening ( EDT ) the OOB Moon trine Neptune in Pisces. Balance dreams, wishes, and goals with action such as structural planning. Avoid the escapist urge to make great strides.
The best qualities of the Moon are highlighted when she is in her own home in Cancer. Natives with this moon placement perceive the world through feelings rather than intellect.
Because the Moon is in her dignity in Cancer, her influence is stronger than in other signs, apart from her exaltation in Taurus, where she expresses herself harmoniously.
Whatever your sun sign, a Moon in Cancer gives you sensitivity and imagination, enormous personal charisma, and a warmhearted, romantic nature.
Whatever your Moon sign, or how empowered/disempowered you may feel at the moment, or how hopeless, take the steps, or just one, toward whatever your heart desires so that dream doesn't die. It doesn't have to be a big step. It just needs to be a step.
Clean out one drawer to get stagnant energy moving. Or, it can be as simple as listening to an inspiring podcast or song or reading a book or poem. Those too, are steps.
Whatever your circumstances may be, one step at a time is possible, even if it's one of pure belief through trust and faith. 🙏💜

Midafternoon tomorrow, we're going to be experiencing a Super New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse in Aries @ 2:21 PM EDT conjunct Chiron. Regardless of whether or not we're in the direct path or visibly see it, its energy will be globally palpable. ✨💫
This will be the final total solar eclipse until 2044 ( 20 years ). The last total solar eclipse occurred in 2017. In places like Detroit, MI, the last Total Solar Eclipse was 200 years ago.
Although there are plenty of similarities between the 2017 total solar eclipse and tomorrows, there are differences. Mainly, the 2024 eclipse is going to cover more land and last longer.
The 2017 eclipse started over the northwest US and moved southeast. Additionally, that eclipse's path was up to 71 miles wide, compared with a maximum width of 122 miles for this year's eclipse.
Perhaps most importantly, the moon completely covered the sun for just two minutes and 40 seconds in 2017. This year, maximum totality will last for nearly four-and-a-half minutes.
It's important, if you truly want to understand the spiritual meaning of an eclipse, that you understand the luminaries involved: the Sun and the Moon. These two are revered as the most ancient and human spiritual symbols in history, dating back to the Babylonians in1800 B.C.
The Sun represents the conscious mind—the inner observer symbolizing inner light and extension of Christ-consciousness, which facilitates our personal resurrection and ascension.
The Moon represents the subconscious mind, an extension of our inner life, intuition, and emotion. But because this light is only a reflection of solar light, it means what we experience may need further discernment.
This eclipse is a collision of light and shadow; therefore, our experience can be intense, manifesting as deep revelations, sudden epiphanies, and accelerated spiritual evolution.
This Solar Eclipse will be highly impactful because its conjunct Chiron in Aries to the exact degree and minute.
Chiron in Aries highlights the wound of 'Self'. This wound may originate from various trauma types, yet the result is consistently similar across each specific sign. For Aries, the Chiron wound centers around a fundamental sense of worthlessness.
This placement of Chiron is considered one of the most challenging yet significant. While all Chiron placements are painful, the difficulty with Aries stems from its direct connection to one's personal identity.
Therefore, we might focus on working toward increasing our self-esteem and worth. This is especially impactful if we've been bullied in the past, or our attempts to demonstrate courage and self-assurance were shot down by someone whose opinion we valued.
Eclipses are harbingers of change and new beginnings. Conjunct Chiron will add a dimension that can include traits of Mars, God of war and ruler of Aries.
Perhaps we might learn strategies or lessons that involve psychological healing, i.e. - courage, confidence, etc. Or perhaps enroll in a gym membership to focus on our physical health, strength, and stamina—all Arian traits.
To further understand this eclipse, we also need to understand the cycle and current phase of the Moon, in this case, a Super New Moon anaretic 19° Aries. According to Dane Rudhyar, this degree in Aries is considered "THE MAGIC CARPET" OF ORIENTAL IMAGERY. KEYNOTE: The use of creative imagination."
"A way of life refusing a hectic involvement in social competition and waste-producing overproduction allows for the development of unattached and transcendent understanding.
The static floor (carpet) on which man's feet (symbols of understanding) rest can become transformed into the means for great flights of imagination and super-physical perception.
The period of rest from outwardly directed activity bound to collective normality presents the creative mind with the possibility of surveying in dreams the totality of the present-day social situation, thus 'to see whole'."
"The fourth stage of the fourth five-fold sequence of symbols invokes the possibility of developing a new technique of perception, A STRIFE-TRANSCENDING AND UNATTACHED OUTLOOK UPON EVERYDAY REALITY."
There is no VoC Moon times, as no New Lunar intentions should be performed at the time the Moon is in liminal space between signs, which will be between Monday night @ 8:39 PM and last through 7:23 AM Tue, Apr 09th.
In my opinion, there should never be any magic performed during an eclipse. If you do, be very careful what you ask for. . .the Dark Moon today for rituals. Take advantage of it.
Eclipses can reveal recurring patterns and lessons we've learned. If you can think back to 2017, to the last total solar eclipse, what lessons were you learning? What lesson did you learn between that eclipse and this one?
In 2017, I was doing a contract I loved in a toxic environment slowly killing me. I was miserable and my health was beginning to decline. I wanted so badly to quit but had no other contract lined up. The following year, when faced with spiraling health issues, I had to make a choice: my life or that job.
I chose my life and terminated the contract without any employment prospects outside of my photography business, which was failing due to my health and inability to maintain energy during events.
You can imagine how scary that is. I stepped out in faith, built two brand new businesses, and am where I am today six years later, happier than I've ever been.
What will your Super New Moon intentions be for this one? What energy do you recognize during eclipses? Pressure surrounding relationships or employment? Feelings of alienation or isolation?
Pay close attention to the Sabian Symbol for this celestial event, and how it applies to our individual lives.
These are all energies to pay attention to because the "medicine is in the wound", as is freedom and truth, which enables you to engage on a healing journey for yourself.
This in turn will benefit all of humankind. Because we become healing through healing ourselves.
What will you learn?

The Dark Moon phase begins tonight @ 2:21 PM EDT.
This is a preface to the Super New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aries April 08. The Dark Moon is the is the 24-hour phase that precedes the New Lunation and is a perfect time for release prior to Monday's event.
Releasing before Monday is vital. The more we release, the more space we create for the Super New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aries Monday. Monday should be a time of receiving.
Meditating. Rest. Journaling, but no magic or rituals. Of course, follow your heart; however, the more we "do" the less time we have to be still and receive the infusion of energy, which in and of itself provides answers and guidance we need.
Hekate is considered beneficial energy to invoke during this lunar phase. Hekate, also known as Hecate, symbolizes transitional spaces such as doorways, gateways, entrances, crossroads, and midnight.
She is associated with the Moon, the underworld, spirits of the deceased, and a variety of plants, both healing and harmful.
She is revered as the Keeper of the Keys, a bearer of light who unlocks the hidden gateways to wisdom, wielding twin torches that cast light upon the journey.
In moments when we find ourselves at a threshold or crossroads, uncertain of which path to choose, we may seek the counsel of Hecate for her guidance.
Because Hecate herself is associated with light. Moon placement is very important in working with this energy.
The fourth quarter Moon symbolizes release, marking a period for endings, banishments, and severing ties.
Therefore, when making decisions in transitional spaces, the fourth quarter Moon serves as an ideal time to relinquish the old and cross into the new, positioned between the peak of the previous full Moon and the silent onset of the next new Moon.
In moments of uncertainty, Hekate serves as a guide. The essence of a ceremony lies in its origin from the heart, embodying the sincere intentions of letting go.
As these intentions are intimate, so too is the energy summoned for support: God, the Great Spirit, Angels, the goddess Kali, Hekate, your Spirit Team - all energies spring from the Source, enveloping you in its protective Love.

Mercury stations Rx in Aries this evening @ 6:15 PM EDT, 8th House, the natural home of Scorpio co-ruled by Pluto and Mars. This is a house of endings and regeneration.
When stationed direct, Virgo in Mercury is critical, analytical, and practical whose thinking is cool, logical, and impersonal. However, when Mercury is in Rx, this cool-hand-Luke can be somewhat dazed with mind fog and indecisiveness.
The retrograde motion of Mercury in fire signs encourages us to adopt a more inventive approach to our challenges. It calls for a bold and innovative mindset, one that is both visionary and entrepreneurial. As Mercury reverses its course in the dynamic sign of Aries, it invites us to revisit previous decisions and concepts from a fresh perspective.
The alignment of Mercury and Aries may heighten our sense of anxiety and impatience, driving us towards seeking instant resolutions and answers. Our manner of communication becomes direct, necessitating caution to avoid statements that could be regrettable in hindsight.
Being an Aries often entails impulsiveness and a preoccupation with progress, yet this position compels us to truly decelerate and refrain from hasty decisions.
As Cardinal Aries heralds the start of the astrological new year and governs beginnings, Mercury's strength is exemplified during her retrograde in this sign.
By going back to the fundamental, or root cause of the issue, we can focus on rejuvenating our projects and initiatives, particularly when they appear to have lost their luster.
This approach allows us to embrace the lessons from our previous errors and experiences more willingly.
The most significant benefit of Mercury retrograding in Aries lies in the chance it offers us to realign with our purpose. It reignites our long-forgotten passions and reminds us of what fills us with joy and optimism.
As Mercury moves backward in Aries, we find the opportunity to reconnect with our confidence, courage, and inner trust by rediscovering our true essence.
Now is the time to question the depth of our commitment to our life's purpose. Are we following the correct path? What ignites our passion?
Some Do's and Don'ts of Mercury Rx
• DO Carefully review all contracts and legal documents.
• DO Listen earnestly to what others say and pause before speaking.
• DO Double-check all correspondence before mailing and insure/track them.
• DO Renew commitments instead of beginning new ones.
• DO Service your automobile and prepare an emergency kit.
• DO Expect travel delays, as Mercury is the Patron of travelers. Leave early.
• DO Reconnect with your heritage and fellowship with friends and family.
• DO Release old grudges and anger by practicing self-forgiveness.
• DO Back up all your digital data and secure passwords.
• DO repair what is broken and take baby steps.
• DO practice patience, gratitude, and flexibility during this time.
• DON'T Purchase new electronics, vehicles, or relocate.
• DON'T Sign contracts, leases, legal documents, or make life-altering decisions.
• DON'T Jump to conclusions. Utilize patience while investigating.
• DON'T Try to revive and old flame or begin a new romance.
• DON'T Start new projects, a business, or make agreements.
• DON'T Leave late for appointments, travel, or give promises you can't keep.
• DON'T Share unreliable information or travel without a backup plan.
• DON'T Submit any work without proof-reading first.
• DON'T Be overly critical, complain, give unauthentically, or too rigid.
• DON'T Blame others for our problems or take reckless actions.

Pallas is the goddess of Wisdom, War, and Craft, who stationed retrograde in Sagittarius Mon, Mar 29 @ 9:19 AM EDT 8th House, the natural home of Scorpio, co-ruled by Pluto and Mars, and will remain until July 09, 2024, but not before re-entering Scorpio, where it will station direct.
In addition to the above, it's important to understand Pallas represents self-defense. This means herself and those in her care; thus, she is never the aggressor in waging war.
She most resonates with the sector in our charts that relates to our philosophical take on the world, since we are all philosophers, even if we are not aware of it. Whenever we deduct a theory involving how we desire to live our lives, we are exercising our philosophical nature. This is the influence of Pallas.
Whenever we stand our ground or strategize politics, or we're challenged by others over our beliefs or lifestyle choices, or for no particular reason (other than they are having a bad day and are lashing out), this is where Pallas appears to offer strategic wisdom that we can respond from rather than a defensive reaction.
Responding from a place of knowledge instead of fear lends an air of victory before the battle is over.
Pallas has been right at home in the higher thinking octave of Sagittarius, whose natural home is the 9th House, a house of aspiration and life, ruled by benevolent Jupiter, the planet of expansion and protection.
When stationed direct, this transit highlights the principles of Sagittarius: Philosophy and intellect coupled with a desire to explore different experiences tops the list. This includes learning something new, anything from cultural diversity to local heritage that involves religion, philosophy, or spirituality.
This can include foreign travel to study abroad or simple day trips to expand our knowledge of an area.
Retrograde offers an opportunity to take stock of our actions through review. If there is something we could've or wish we'd done differently, now is an opportunity to make plans to alter course so we're on the right track when Pallas stations direct in Scorpio.
Any aspects between now and then are like roadmaps and can assist our decisions. We should take our time and choose wisely. Wisdom is available to us for the asking.

Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse 05LIB07 Monday @ 3:00 AM EDT.
This eclipse is actually the third in a set of six occurring along the Aries-Libra axis from April 20th, 2023, to March 29, 2025.
The energetic signature of these eclipses has been independence and assertiveness ( Aries ), while this eclipse in Libra prompts us to consider how we relate to others and the impact it is creating on our relation and/or partnerships.
It's vital to understand where Aries/Libra ruled areas are located in our own personal natal charts in order to take advantage of this energy to make improvements. It's time to take advantage from the Arian energy and action if we've been feeling indolent or insecure while also creating a balance with the Libran energy in our relationships.
This balance includes rituals of forgiveness and release. It's finding closer in the difficulties with or without reciprocation so that the emotions can't magnify over time.
It doesn't take two people for a resolution to what seems and impossible situation. All it takes is our willingness to release the circumstances of the issue or challenge and maintain firm boundaries against future worry.
Don't allow the energy of this due Full Moon/Ecliptic energy to conceal a part of us that requires focus on another, be it a personal relationship, partnership, or conflict.
Now is the time to strive for balance within ourselves.
If we have personal planets and points at 0 to 10 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn), then be aware it will affect us significantly.
My Saturn is dignified 03°CAP20'; therefore, I'll be paying close attention to this Teacher/Taskmaster's energy and how it impacts me.
Lunar eclipses reveal the state of our relationships and the tension between opposites, as the Sun ( self ) is opposing the Moon ( emotions ).
This challenges us to examine our desires, deficiencies, and expectations regarding the equilibrium between the domains of life ruled by Aries and Libra.
This celestial energy reveals the tension between self and others, and between independence and cooperation, and contrasts the fiery, direct, and confrontational nature of Aries with the logical, tactful, and balance-oriented personality of Libra, urging us to strike a balance between meeting our personal needs and attending to the needs of a significant other, and between independence or autonomy, and dependence or companionability.
It's an opportunity to become aware of new emotions and insights. These feelings and revelations may not appear rational to us, but emotional, and they need to be expressed and released.
However, we should be careful how we do that, because we don't fully understand them yet.
Such an environment is full of opportunities and lessons. But we may need some patience to see the big picture because our relationships are entering a time of testing, could be damaged, or even fortified during this energy.
We experience intense and dramatic emotions as we uncover our shortcomings. Everything seems magnified and important at this moment.
We can have revelations that motivate us to take positive steps, but there may be some initial disorder.
This Lunar Eclipse reveals to us the importance of connecting with others in a deeper way. We realize that we cannot be happy without recognizing and accepting our need for others, for harmony, and for compromise.
Now is the time to reflect on how we might have neglected our perspective, companionability, and relationships by being too independent or self-centered.

Juno stations Direct in Virgo @ 10:59 PM, 10th House, the natural home of Capricorn ruled by Saturn. A house of honor and substance, this house reveals our profession, reputation, and standing int he community. It also indicates our ego, ambition, and business and social activities.
As a Mutable Earth sign, Virgos are all about improvement ( self or otherwise ). Perfectionists at heart, their desire to improve all things can come off critical or nit-picky.
Their love language is perfection through analyzation and suggestion. Once you learn that about a Virgo, you'll truly understand the motives behind their suggestions. Industrious, methodical, scientific and fact-finding, Virgos prefer to garner all the facts before making a decision.
Juno is known as the goddess of marriage and commitment. Its placement can show us how we feel about marriage, what marriage means to us, what we do or do not desire in our marriage relationship, or if we even want to get married in the first place.
Astrologically, a common-law relationship or a civil partnership also constitutes a marriage, as does any long-term living arrangement.
Juno in Virgo partnerships are grounded in practicality and commitment based in constructive criticism or suggestions.
However, with negative aspects, we can come off as critical, petty, self-centered, sloppy, and melancholic. Make sure that whatever we suggest, or is suggested to us, is from a place of love and balance.
Some circumstances are beyond our control, especially within the energy of the 10th house; however, focusing on goals, wishes, and dreams is highly favored. Looking to the future together vs. at each other can prove advantageous.

Sedna stations direct 29°TAURUS27' @ 10:41 AM EST, 1st House, the natural home of Aries ruled by Mars. It will remain in Taurus until April, when it will Re-enter Gemini until August 2067.
It takes approximately 11,390 years to orbit the Sun. However, because its orbit is elliptical, the time spent in each sign differs.
Sedna is a dwarf planet known as the "Goddess of the Sea" or the "Asteroid of Abandonment". She assists in an introspective process that helps us to identify our greatest fear.
Symbolizing abandonment issues, she can help you face the truth of yourself sans excuses.
Sedna's name originates from Inuit mythology because it is the coldest, most distant place known in our solar system.
According to Inuit mythology, Sedna, Goddess of the Sea and Mistress of Marine Life, is thought to live at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, one of the coldest and most unexplored areas on our planet.
Sedna is a prime example of spiritual evolution born from traumatic events such as betrayal, treachery, or abandonment that produced mental and emotional stress.
According to humanistic astrologer Alan Clay, "When a new solar system body is discovered, clues to the astrological meaning can be found by looking at a range of factors. But primarily, meaning comes from studying the planet in a large number of charts to find common themes."
One such discovery that Clay linked to Sedna is the development of neural networks, the foundation of Artificial Intelligence. From the below article:
"Ray Kurzweil is a scientist, inventor and futurist, who made a series of predictions in the 1990s. All his predictions to date have been realised.
"By the 2030s, virtual reality will begin to feel 100% real. We will be able to upload our mind/consciousness by the end of the decade.
By the 2040s, non-biological intelligence will be a billion times more capable than biological intelligence. Nanotech foglets (micro-robots – known as 'smart material') will be able to make food out of thin air and create any object in the physical world at a whim.
By 2045, we will multiply our intelligence a billion-fold by linking wirelessly from our neocortex to a synthetic neocortex in the cloud." (From a 26 January 2015 article on singularityhub.com by Peter Diamandis.)
Sedna wants to be with her soul in joy and abundance, not treated as if useless, not disassociated from true Self, working her ass off, suffering.
Sedna in Taurus is all about stability, values, and dependability. It encompasses possessions and financial issues. Its shadow aspect represents global economic policy, censorship of information, massive wealth acquisition (read stealing and hoarding), and global influence, but also with occasional massive disadvantages for large numbers of people.
It’s the massive chasm between having empathy and having none, because one ruthless party wants the $$$ equivalent from other’s life force energy or inheritance of wealth.
Sedna's higher expression is often those individuals who had been significantly disadvantaged by their policies, coming out the other end massively transformed by what could have felt like a near-death experience, or at least near-total collapse or loss, but perhaps having gained “everything” in return; for total release of an old life and outworn ego identity… Conscious… Aware… “I am that I am.”
The second house, the natural home of Taurus, represents financial affairs, possessions, investment, and earning power which leads to any gain or loss through our own efforts.
There's a need for fulfillment in this house, our emotional feelings, sense of self-worth and values. Because many consider liberty is largely a matter of money, this is the house of personal liberty, but also material debt.
I suggested in June of 2023 to review budgets and make solid plans for the stability and security of our financial future. Doing so in an honorable way can lead to personal fulfillment and a sense of self-worth that honors our values. There is a freedom in doing something right, even if it costs us something we value.
If you took the above suggestion seriously, your footing should be stable to move forward with a solid financial plan for the future.
