Sunday should prove to be an interesting if not dramatic day, as the Moon in Leo goes void of course during the morning hours. The last aspect the Moon will make is the opposition to Neptune bringing forth conflicting emotions, withdrawal, lack motivational energy, and in many cases a lack of confidence. Often, the Moon in opposition to Neptune can bring forth moments of feeling blue, nostalgic, and oversensitive to the feelings, thoughts, and actions of others. With this in mind, we can use the energy of Neptune to tap into our spiritual lives, our need to connect to a source higher than ourselves, and an attempt to understand ourselves and our own character defends on a deeper level.

On a more positive note, the Moon will move into Virgo during the evening hours. The Moon in Virgo expresses itself in a refined, controlled, and serious way. Since the only aspect made will be the conjunction to dwarf planet Ceres we have the ability to comfort ourselves and listen to our inner and outer needs, and we can act upon what needs to be nurtured in our lives.

Seven Day Forecast:

4/7: Mercury sextile Neptune
4/9: Mercury In Taurus
4/9: Full Moon @ 19 Libra
4/10: Sun Sextile Jupiter
4/11: Mercury trine Pluto
4/11: Venus Retrograde into Pisces

Daylight Time descends upon most of the United States during the early morning hours, as the Moon continues its trek through dramatic and glamorous Leo. Sunday will be a high energy day as there are many aspects on the Astrological Calendar, much of which is conflicting and at odds with one another. However, the lesson to learn from this might be the sentence which hangs over the oracle at Delphi in Ancient Greece, “nothing in excess.”

Today the Moon continues to trek through Leo giving way to dramatic feelings filled with great intensity. The Moon in Leo loves to be the center of attention, and you can do this best by being generous and loyal to those around you. Since, the communication planet Mercury moves into Pisces today, this can accentuate the intensity of the Moon and give way to feelings of heightened intuition and receptivity to others around us. It all just seems so wonderful and perfect, doesn’t it?

Ok, now on with reality. Just as Mercury and the Moon do the tango of other worldly visions and romantic reception, The God of War Mars will conjoin with Neptune in social Aquarius. This is a very frustrating aspect, because Mars tends to go into “wimp” mode when he confronts the giant Fish God. In traditional Astrology, Mars in Aquarius is considered “peregrine”, and often feels misplaced in the sign. You may feel a bit lethargic and out of balance under this energy. One of the best ways to handle this energy is to take time to rest today, and make sure you avoid any activity of competition as Mars/Neptune can feel quite ineffectual. This aspect is rather idealistic, so make sure to honor your inner fight and keep your feet on the ground.

Finally, as if Mars and Neptune were not enough frustrating energy for one day, the Sun will oppose Saturn around 3:53 PM EST. Under this aspect, we may feel a lack of confidence, at odds with authority and downright cranky. The planet of restriction prevents the Sun from shining bright. This often leads to power struggles between the two planets. Since the aspect is an opposition, the likeliest “path” of expression is through our relationships. To get through the evening hours avoid confrontations, reactions, and attempt to be compassionate of the needs of others.

The Astrological Energy of the Week revolves around Venus Retrograde, which begins at 5:17 PM on March 6, and continues through Mid April. Before, Venus goes retrograde the Moon in Cancer will square Venus creating a rather emotional and tense beginning of the weekend. You may find your relationships today quite erratic, emotional, and frustrating.

Anytime we have a planet retrograding we can use these periods to review what is transpiring in our lives via the nature of the planet that is retrograde. The area that Venus primarily rules is relationships through its rulership over Libra and money and/or finances through its rulership over Taurus.

Venus is retrograding in the sign of her detriment Aries. The reason Venus is in detriment in Aries is because Venus is not a real self focused planet – she needs things, she needs people; whereas Aries is pretty much concerned with one thing “me”! Also, Venus can act quite compulsively when she is in the Mars natural sign, and “compulsive” is not a productive word for either “love” or “money”. Be wary of getting involved in new relationships during this period, as they tend to burn out as fast as they heat up. However, past relationships you believed were over may resurface during this time.

The Moon will go void of course in Cancer at 7:29 PM on Friday evening with its last aspect a trine to Uranus in Pisces. This evening can be used as an evening to relax, stay at home, get comfort food, and watch a good movie or catch up on some programs recorded on your TIVO.

The Moon will enter Leo at 8:24 AM on Saturday Morning. There are no aspects on this day, which makes Saturday a “Moon” day. Leo is the sign of pleasure, children and enjoyment, so stay true to yourself and enjoy the weekend.

See you on Sunday!
