Astrological Outlook - April 5 - 11
White Owl
5 April 2010
Did the late part of last week bring troubling developments for you? If so, don’t feel that you are alone. Many were upset by curt behavior and general insensitivity from people close at hand. But there’s good news. After Monday, this week contains nicer interactions, especially on the weekend. Here’s how it breaks down.
The week begins with a flurry of activity brought on by a square between Mercury and Mars. Since Mercury rules over travel and Mars the aggressive impulse, anger may flare on the road, so be very careful while driving on Monday. Others may be in a disagreeable fit today, on the streets, at home, and in the office. Being in too much of a rush is a bad thing most of the time, and this is certainly so today. For safety, slow down to a reasonable pace. Cross words may still fly, and vexing problems may bring us all anxiety. Rules and regulations handed down governing entities may be the source of very real concern and may lie at the bottom of dark moods in evidence early today. Let others see to their major responsibilities. It’s what has to be done, and there’s no use fighting it.
Tuesday brings important insights and clarifications. There is much to be learned and gleaned this day, especially by those who listen well and keep an open mind. An excellent time to get the inside scoop takes place from 9 – 10 am EDT. The best method for connecting with privileged information today is to be quiet and subtle. Pluto makes a retrograde station tonight. Ruler of secrets and mysteries that this planet is, the sure bet is that hidden matters will feature strongly today. Energy turns within in a profound manner this day. The psychic realm invites our attention and holds much of meaning.
Wednesday brings interesting changes and opportunities as well. Early in the morning, our minds and moods will clear somewhat due to the Moon-Saturn trine in effect around 9 am EDT. Then Saturn retrogrades into Virgo to stay there for almost four months. Virgo being a studious and mental sign, this means that on Wednesday we will enter a four month period of emphasis on learning, inquiry, and mental analysis. For some, this may represent a tedious process, for others, a time of job training or of special academic efforts. Whatever the case, expect the next four months to contain a heavier dose of memorization, number crunching, and careful thought than have the last few months, as we return to intellectual questions and the effort to master techniques that interested us last summer.
Thursday mellows out with the Moon in Aquarius making a sextile to the Sun late in the day. This means that our inner and outer worlds will mesh nicely and that few major annoyances will block the way.
Friday sees an even more spiritual interlude as the Moon conjoins with Neptune in late Aquarius. Look for an emphasis on friendship, community, sharing, and pleasant celebrations.
Saturday ushers in yet another day of quiet serenity, with the Moon now in sensitive Pisces in harmonious relationship with Pluto, Mercury and Venus. It’s a good sign for shopping. Needed items will be found without much hassle. Entertainment is favored as well, with opportunities to kick way back and enjoy the show.
Sunday offers a time to reflect and to be healed by the gentler side of life, as the Moon conjuncts Jupiter around 1 pm EDT, making mid-day pleasant for all pursuits, but especially for recreation, romance, and spiritual seeking. The weekend closes with spiritual intuitions, as the Moon moves toward interaction with Uranus over night, setting the stage for precognitive dreams.
