If You Were Born on April 15th, Happy Birthday Aries!

Happy Birthday, Aries!

 

IF YOU ARE BORN ON APRIL 15, you are an intelligent Aries but can be impulsive. Your wisdom comes from yours or someone else’s experiences, trials, and errors. You have the ability to learn from observation. Your perception of the world is usually practical and levelheaded.

What the 15 April birthday horoscope says about you is that you can be a hot mess sometimes, Aries. Yes, you get angry and you do not care who knows it or who sees you act out.

To say the least, you are hot-headed and headstrong. Is this typical of a Ram or what? Arians may give the impression of being a timid person, but that is a common misconception.

You do not have to put up a front with those that love you! Everyone respects your independence and knows that you are relatively uncomplicated deep down.

The April 15th birthday personality may have many skills and talents that have gone unnoticed and untouched. Those born on this day perhaps would benefit from realizing and cultivating those gifts. You certainly have the energy for it.

If today is your birthday, you understand and appreciate the needs of others largely because of your upbringing. You as an Arian, deal with situations rather than complain about things you cannot control.

You are likely to choose your battles carefully eliminating the small and insignificant disruptions. As a parent, those born on this zodiac birthday, are likely to be fair but a bit too generous with your children. Discipline is not your strong suit. Your focus is on making their lives brighter. You could be guilty of spoiling your children.

The 15 April birthday analysis shows that you want love and companionship. The perfect or ideal partner for you is one who has the same qualities as you. The rapport would hopefully be one that is filled with enthusiasm for romance and love. You like someone who is not afraid of being the aggressive one.

Now, once you have found this incredible person, do not damage it by your tendency for unwarranted jealousy. That is only insecurity and you have no justification for it. Just as you adore your freedom, so will your like-minded partner. What is good for the goose, has to be good for the gander.

This Aries birthday person being bold is capable of solving any obstacles. You tackle problems head-on and with surety. It is a pleasure to work with those born on this day. Aries, you are creative and are capable of working as a harmonious team member.

The 15 April birthday meanings show that you have leadership qualities and generally have good public standing. Some of you are interested in technology, research or something scientific.

There is a potential for work in the electronics field. If you are interested in adventure, the military is where you should be. You could easily be assigned to various departments of law enforcement.

Most of you with an April 15th birthday are lucky in money. You are fortunate, Aries, not to have any money concerns. Typically, the 15 April birthday personality is concerned with financial security. But before making any final decisions, you are likely to want the approval of your family or closest friends. Whatever you decide, you will find gratification and organization.

If today is your birthday, you rarely have health problems. You have a healthy appetite as you eat constantly but hardly gain a pound. It takes a commitment to exercise. But you will be able to continue to have good health long after your retirement years.

Some born on this day, however, are subject to suffer with fatigue. Eat foods that are rich in protein and low in carbohydrates. A good dose of exercise as a routine can ultimately boost your metabolism. So you will have more energy.

The 15 April birthday astrology analysis shows that certain influences can have bearing on your character. Mainly though you represent an Aries who can be quick to react to situations but are capable of solving problems. You were born with leadership talents.

Those born on this day are good in areas of technology and those positions that can provide mystery and action. You may seem complicated but in reality, you are selfless and secretively, you can be a big baby. If you were born on April 15, you are strong-willed, ambitious and adventurous. Aries, you are interesting!

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, April 15th

Moon Alert

After 6:30 AM EDT today (3:30 AM PDT) we have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Virgo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a happy, pleasant day! Enjoy your own company, or enjoy the company of others – it’s that simple. Of course, with the Sun in your sign, you are empowered and confident, while Mars empowers all your communications. It’s a winning day!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a great day to schmooze and enjoy the company of good friends. You will also be successful dealing with groups, clubs and organizations or large conferences because you truly enjoy the company of others today. It’s a great day to do fundraising or drum up money from a bank. Ka-ching!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Bosses, parents and people in authority are impressed with you today, which is why this is an excellent day to ask for approval or permission if there’s something you want. Quite likely, bosses will say yes. You might also feel attracted to a boss or someone in authority.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Do something different today because you yearn for a chance to expand your horizons. You want to travel, study and talk to people from different backgrounds and other cultures. In fact, a romance with someone “different” might begin.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a great day to ask for a loan or a mortgage or to borrow something from someone because people will be generous to you. Keep your pockets open! This is also a passionate, sexual day for those in the mood. “Anyone, anyone? Bueller?”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a great day to socialize with partners, friends and members of the general public because everyone is upbeat and in a good mood. Not only that, there’s a feeling of camaraderie and mutual generosity that elevates the tone of your interactions with others. It’s a happy day!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Yes, it’s Monday but this is a pleasant workday – lucky you! Coworkers will be supportive. Many of you will receive praise from others and perhaps even a raise. Work-related travel will please you and this day will flow smoothly. You won’t want to rush but that’s okay.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today favours the arts, movies, the entertainment world, the hospitality industry, anything to do with professional or amateur sports plus playful activities with children. Perhaps most of all it favours romance! That’s why this is a playful, pleasant day!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a great day to explore real-estate negotiations or check out new apartments or new homes. Likewise, it’s a marvellous day to invite family and friends over to entertain at home. If shopping for lovely things for your home – be careful about going overboard. Keep your receipts.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you are so charming and charismatic, you could sell anyone the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s a great day for writers, editors and those in sales, marketing, teaching and acting because you can make money from your words. Short trips will please you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Business and commerce are favoured today because you can discover many opportunities to boost your income or explore moneymaking enterprises. It’s possible that something might look better than it is, so remember this, but on the whole, this is a solid day.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You feel happy and joyful today, especially if you have the time to please yourself and do what you want. Personal relationships are blessed today because your good feelings rub off onto those around you. Be careful about buying anything unnecessary or spending too much money.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Seth Rogan (1982) shares your birthday today. You are ethical, mature and realistic. You do want to be loved and appreciated. This year, your hard work will begin to pay off. Therefore, start to simplify your life and focus on how to build solid foundations. Work with purpose. Physical exercise will be important, which is why you might explore yoga, martial arts or jogging — any physical discipline that you enjoy.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of April 15

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of April 15

Sarah Bartlett, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

Waxing moons are when the lunar energy is right for starting new projects, being pro-active or simply indulging in a new romance. As we reach the culmination of the full moon this week, it will pay to have begun to create the kind of love style that suits you best.

With Mercury moving into fiery Aries, this could be one of those weeks when all it takes is a few impulsive, and seemingly risqué words to bring you the kind of joy your are seeking.

 

ARIES

With the full moon in your opposite sign, you may feel a little emotional, sad or nostalgic this week, but yet also more laid-back as the energy passes and you see yourself with a more objective outlook again. By the end of this week, you’re ready to relax and enjoy some light-hearted banter with new romantic interests. In fact, suddenly it seems you’re in demand again. Funny, isn’t it, how, as soon as you stop trying too hard, you end up being desired?

 

TAURUS

It’s getting to a point where there’s not so much a lack of love, but a feeling you’re missing out on something romantic and unforgettable. In fact, you are beginning to wonder if all that stuff about couples and longterm commitment is all it’s cracked up to be. Isn’t there more? Luckily, there is.

 

GEMINI

This week, you really do want to have your say and get it out of your system. But take a long hard look at what you are getting miffed about. Is it simply that the truth often does hurt, and you need to defend yourself? Be kindly to your lover or admirer, and they will be gentle with you too.

 

CANCER

This week, you’ll be bumping into fascinating new characters if single, and if attached, you begin to let your partner know that you may be unpredictable, but you are also full of depth, desire and love. It’s time to unleash all those feelings, and let someone know that you’re a human being too.

 

LEO

You’re now on the road to a more true and joyous kind of loving without giving up on your independence. You are generous, loving and loyal, but don’t rob your partner their right to be individual either. Trust works both ways, so trust in that, and then you won’t feel you need to own someone, just love them.

 

VIRGO

Although a loved one seems to be more interested in themselves than in your plans, don’t take it personally. If you’re getting out and about, and they’re working like demons, then you’re right to do your own thing. In a few weeks time they will see that your laid back attitude may appear to be merely a philosophical way to look at love and life, but it works.

 

 

LIBRA

With the full moon in your sign, you may be filled with mixed feelings about various love regrets. ‘Moving on’ has become in vogue. We are expected to get on with our lives, and live for the future. But think carefully right now in the present about what are your true desires and dreams? After all, the past will never catch up with who you will be tomorrow, will it?

 

SCORPIO

Sometimes life feels empty or filled with psychological foes. Your fears and longings seem to take up your waking moments, the negative thoughts impossible to escape, the positive ones, well, seemingly impossible – yet they are not. This week, it’s time to fill your life with love for yourself and the universe, then the beneficial changes will begin.

 

SAGITTARIUS

OK, Jupiter is still plaguing you with reflective thoughts, but it’s time to put an end to stupid over-thinking in the love department. However, the only thing which may hinder you is your imagination. Luckily, Mercury’s move into fire sign Aries, will bring you a breath of fresh air, and you realise that things are about to change for the better.

 

CAPRICORN

This week, be honest about what you want. It’s often what we don’t say that gets taken the wrong way. If you really believe that your love life needs a little tender loving care, then there’s no time like the present to do so. This week, you really have no excuse but to say to someone what you really want, and romance will truly blossom.

 

AQUARIUS

Pretending you don’t care isn’t the answer. In fact, you need to make it clear to your partner or someone new if single, that your independence is sacred, but you do have feelings. It’s also timely to ask yourself a question: do you love your life enough to change it? If the answer is yes, then the planets are giving you carte blanche to do so.

 

PISCES

You know what you must give up in order to be who you truly are and want to be. If you understand this part of yourself and see how you can climb the ladder to relationship happiness, then another part of you will have to be relinquished. Whether that’s a lifestyle, habit, people or attitude, you are about to go through a massively important but positive transformation.

Your Horoscopes for the Week of April 15th

Your Horoscopes for the Week of April 15th

Claire Petulengro, Celebrity Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

Long term planning, works best in the short term. I know you’re excited by the here and now, but I see, and you will too soon enough, that fair-weather friends are not worth putting long term investments into. Family prove demanding and you have to decide how far you’re willing to go for one in particular. Ring to hear how Venus gives you the gift of the gab.

 

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it. This is a fact you see, with a harsh reality today. However, I know, (and you do too deep down inside!) that you can do this. Your sign can do anything they make up their mind to. Minor niggles could well turn into big ones if you don’t address them by Wednesday. Ring now to develop your best traits.

 

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

If you want to succeed, then first you have to believe you can. Your ruling planet Mercury, makes you hard to deal with in business. Make sure you are working towards what works for everyone and not just what will give you immediate gratification. Scorpios link to the next important step you take in your personal life this week. Ring now to excel.

 

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

The emotional journey you have been through has been exhausting, but if you look around, then you’ll see that you’ve made it out the other side Cancer! New flirtations could put a friendship at risk. Make sure you know how far is too far to go. Don’t let petty arguments turn into major problems on Friday. Ring now so I can mediate.

 

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

It’s like a light has gone on and you finally see your life through clear vision. Certain people in your life, may be upset you no longer text or call them as you did, but you’ve grown up and moved alone, as they’re about to find out. A great week to apply for new avenues in your work. You’re ready to move up in the world. Ring to continue your journey.

 

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

Family have not been much good to you lately and you may have been left feeling as if you have the short end of the straw with deals or agreements that were made. This is not so, as this week is about to reveal you hold ALL the aces. Try to be fair in love, as someone is questioning your loyalty towards them. Ring me right now for details.

 

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

The need to get more done than normal is strong in your chart. It’s as if you are preparing for a busier period than usual, but it is only your instincts you have to trust, as proof of all that needs doing. The gods gave you gifts for a reason. Your instincts are strongest on Tuesday and Thursday. Ring me right now to trust them more.

 

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

Work you do at this time, may not leave you feeling flush, but is certainly going to earn you contacts which you can use for years and not just months to come. The need to find cash is evident too, so prepare accordingly. You’ll be trying to resist calling someone you know would be opening up a can of worms. Ring now for some astral help.

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

I know you’re tired, but that should tell you that it’s time to change your schedule and to think of things you can do, to wind down, rather than focusing on what is winding you up. Strange sounding names can do wonders for your finances. You have the feeling there is something you should cancel. Follow your gut instinct please. Ring now to reveal all.

 

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

Things you’re supposed to do this week, are unlikely to go to plan, so try to have your mind ready for alternative plans, which can suit difficult faces. The good news, is that you are the one who comes out smelling of roses. Try not to say things you know you will regret, especially when you’ve come so far with close ones. Ring for a message from Mars.

 

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

The need to spend time with those you think have answers to your future, could see you travelling out of your way more than once this week. Truth be told you need to talk to the ONE person, who can answer your questions, not third parties. Mars makes you push for something you don’t really want or need. Careful! Ring me right now to be inspired.

 

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

Your element of water, is pushing you to ask more than you should about new faces, but this only seems to have left you feeling more vulnerable and exposed about your own situation. Focus on one thing and one day at a time and success is yours. You’re forgetting how to make time for you. Change this and now. Ring now for answers.

Your Weekly Karmic Forecast for April 14 – 20

Weekly Forecast: April 14 – 20, 2019

Kelly M. Beard
a message from Kelly M. Beard

The video version of this forecast, as read by Kelly, is available here.

The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.

*NOTE*  There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.

Weekly Forecast: April 14 – 20, 2019

4/14 ~ Sun (source & essential Self) ~trine~ Jupiter (expansion):
This is a blessing of Source energy fueling your biggest dreams & visions for your life, this lifetime. You are encouraged to take advantage of the good *vibe* available when these two get together to expand your life’s direction in a big way. This activation is often blessings from previous dedication. You’ve been moving in a certain direction, and it’s like the Path is wider & deeper now, allowing you to connect some huge pieces of your personal Story *together* in a new way. It’s great for learning & exploring anything that will support your forward movement. Some may use the good vibe to veg-out and relax, which for some, may be best. However, if you are stepping up to new levels of your own consciousness, this energy totally supports you as you integrate it all. It is an enthusiastic, optimistic energy that can open doors for you, depending on your attitude. It will allow you to see the big picture and the next necessary step toward your goals at this time.

4/14 ~ Venus (relationships) ~sextile~ Pluto (transformation):
This energy deepens all emotions and strengthens bonds & attachments. Friendships & love relationships become much deeper and, sometimes more intense, not to mention any physical, sexual experiences. Being fake or superficial is never possible when Pluto is involved, and because Venus is involved, we’re talking relationships or how you relate in general, so if you are needing to dig a little deeper with someone, you are supported. This energy can facilitate positive transformation in your relationships, partnerships or collaborations. It will give you added power to help you change what needs changing or at least get it on the table for a deeper discussion or a clearing conversation. Your emotional intensity may be at an unusually high level, so be sure to surround yourself with people who love you unconditionally or try to be alone and just reflect on what you’re feeling.

4/15 ~ Venus (love, finances & relationships) ~square~ Jupiter (expansion & consciousness):
This energy is a happy-go-lucky kind of energy that doesn’t really want to be bothered with the mundane, however, you must not allow that passing energy to get you so off track that it costs you more than it is worth. If you don’t have any pressing obligations, then this can be a fun, relaxing time, possibly with friends. However, if you have work to do, make sure it gets done first so you can truly enjoy yourself without the worry of the pile being bigger when you return. Watch the excesses as well, food, drink and/or spending. On a deeper level, you may have to make some adjustments in your relationships or finances. Jupiter always reveals how we make things ‘bigger’ (consciously or not) and this activation usually helps us be more realistic, so we can align our true priorities with our grand vision of the future.

4/19 ~ LIBRA Full Moon #2 of 2:
This is our second chance within one month to release imbalances within and around us as individuals. We also happen to be right between Jupiter Retro (4/10) and Pluto Retro (4/24) – those two indicate it’s time to review & edit the Story you’re telling with the choices & decisions you are making and it’s also time to throw out old structures & fundamental ways of living that no longer work in the new paradigm. It’s important for you to assume the authority in your own life, cut ties with burdensome entities and learn to live without draining relationships. Life is too short! And our individual energy is a precious resource that we cannot afford to squander and leak all over the place. We are 6-months out from relationships, collaborations & partnerships that you seeded with the Libra New Moon (10.8.2018). If you have journals you can check, do it and see how far you’ve come in a very short time. You will see how your relationships have utterly changed over that time or your awareness of them has. Use this month of double-release of imbalance to usher in a New You that is sovereign & self-sufficient.

LAST WEEK’S BLACK HOLE IMAGE WAS WRITTEN IN THE STARS

LAST WEEK’S BLACK HOLE IMAGE WAS WRITTEN IN THE STARS

  • LEONA MOON

Last Wednesday, Katie Bouman, a 29-year-old scientist, made history by capturing the first-ever photograph of a black hole. Planted firmly inside the Messier 87, a galaxy nearly 54 million light-years away from earth, is Virgo A, which sits inside the Virgo constellation. Scientists and astrologers have long theorized about black holes, but the photos provide undeniable proof.

We’ve been talking about black holes for more than 100 years thanks to Albert Einstein and his theory of general relativity. And Virgo A is hardly the first black hole astrologers have studied—our very own Milky Way has a black hole of its own, Sagittarius A. (Because of the proximity, some astrologers actually take it into account when interpreting charts.)

A black hole is a (mostly) fixed, collapsed star that does not move along an orbital path like planets do. They possess an overwhelming gravitational pull and consume matter with such a force that not even light can escape its grasp. While black holes do shift in space over time, it’s at such a minimal rate that it’s barely noticeable in our lifetime (it took 72 years for Sagittarius A to shift 1 degree).

Let’s take a look at what was happening in the stars on April 10 that could have influenced such a landmark discovery.

 

WHY NOW?

On April 10 we had a stellium in Pisces—Mercury, Venus, and Neptune all resided in the mystical sign. Pisces rules the 12th house in the zodiac—it’s healing, wise, compassionate, transformative, and spiritual. The 12th house is also where we struggle with hidden psychological problems. When we have planets in Pisces, we pick up on its energy. Pisces can dive deep and are intrigued by mystery. When Mercury, the planet that rules communication and intellect, lands in this enigmatic water sign, we can find ourselves leading with esoteric questions—pondering the meaning of life and exploring our emotional depths and limits. Having an intellectual planet like Mercury in Pisces sheds light on why the photo was revealed during this transit.

Neptune’s influence is also at play here. Neptune can be confusing—it’s Pisces ruling planet and the natural ruler of the 12th house. It’s a planet that fuels illusions and fantasies. It also rules compassion—people who have a strong Neptune influence in their charts can make amazing healers or therapists thanks to their overwhelming desire to help others. In the astrological world, black holes are seen as forces that precipitate change and transformation by forcing us to acknowledge our vices and unconscious limiting beliefs, addictions, or weaknesses. They can trigger us to recognize patterns that are hard for us to break on a conscious level, which supports Pisces and 12th house energy and nature. The balance between altruism and the desire to bury our deepest psychological wounds with vices is very Neptunian in nature. It’s often times the most compassionate humans, who feel too much and too deeply that find themselves overindulging and escaping through vices. The heavy Pisces, Neptune, and 12th house influences on April 10 make for an ideal day to reveal photographic proof of Virgo A.

On April 10, Neptune and Mercury, both in Pisces, also formed a conjunction, which could support a mystical discovery of this magnitude. We also had Jupiter go retrograde in Sagittarius—a time to pause, a time of luck, and a time to revisit unfinished business or opportunities. Sagittarius rules the zodiac’s ninth house of travel, expansion, and higher learning on a global (in this case, let’s think universal) scale. It’s also the traveler in the zodiac (hello, space travel), and encourages the consumption of knowledge and learning. Sagittarians are also very philosophical creatures, always questioning. This transit, as Jupiter retrogrades through Sagittarius, allows us to pause and take a profound look for deeper discoveries.

The final factor: All of these transits and planets are taking place in mutable signs. In the zodiac, our mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) encourage change. They’re adaptable, and in some way, each have an incredibly mental depth to them that loves to absorb knowledge. Both black holes, Sagittarius A and Virgo A, are located in mutable signs—inspiring change and expanding how we perceive the universe and space. For Virgo A, it’s in a sign that’s known for service-oriented dedication to those they love. It takes this type of dedication, discipline, and selflessness to face our shadow sides that black holes ask us to confront.

 

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOUR BIRTH CHART?

Do you have any natal planets located within 4º of Virgo A’s current placement of 1º Libra? (Cheat sheet: That would be any planets that are between 27º–29º Virgo or 0º–5º Libra?) If so, depending on the aspect and planet Virgo A touches, you might find it has a stronger influence in your birth chart—a calling to face what’s holding you back in that aspect of your life and an unbearable need to transform it.

The Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, April 15th

COSMIC CALENDAR

  • APRIL 15, 2019

Yesterday’s void lunar zone in Leo stays in effect until earthy Virgo Moon begins at 3:15 a.m. This lunar shift is a reminder to conduct a cleaning campaign around your residence and work environment. Out with non-essentials, in with order and organization. Ingenious ideas beckon your mind upward and onward as the moon trines lightning-creator Uranus in Taurus (6:43 a.m.).

Improve your batting swing, hook shot, soccer kick, volleyball serve, golf stroke, or tennis backhand as Mercury forms an inspirational, 72-degree to Mars (10:53 a.m.). Avoid taking a cosmic detour from clearly-defined goals during a square between Venus in Pisces and Jupiter retrograde in Sagittarius (4:16 p.m.). Overdoing a good thing is a no-no and major decisions should be put temporarily on hold.

[Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Jupiter Retrograde Meaning

Jupiter retrograde natal suggests there was a problem in achieving goodness of the soul in an earlier life. This certainly does not mean you have a bad soul, but that there will be some lessons or extra effort required this life to achieve goodness of the soul, to be genuinely happy and content.

Jupiter retrograde shows the areas of life, or the personality traits and behaviors, which specifically need extra development. The optimum Jupiter nature is broad-minded, happy, comfortable and content. A healthy Jupiter is continually growing and expanding in philosophical and spiritual outlook. The aim is to be charitable, generous, friendly and welcoming to all people, regardless of social status, religion, cultural or ethnic background.

Natal Jupiter retrograde could show as greed, selfishness, gluttony, extravagance, wastefulness or self-righteousness. Addiction, intolerance, bigotry, ignorance or showing off might be holding you back. Whatever is stunting your personal and spiritual growth is what Jupiter retrograde focuses on. This could well have been an ongoing problem hindering success over many incarnations. Events or relationships will keep reinforcing the problem area this life, especially during Jupiter retrograde phases.

Jupiter retrograde means that whatever area of growth you need to work on is so important, extra time is needed to take stock and make sure everything in order before you continue. You may be tested to make sure you are ready to receive the good fortune, new romance, or increased wealth you seek.

Jupiter Retrograde 2019

Jupiter stations retrograde on April 10, 2019 at 24°21′ Sagittarius on a challenging fixed star and in challenging T-Square aspect pattern to the Moon and Mercury.

Fixed star Lesath at 24°16′ Sagittarius in the Sting of the Scorpion gives danger, desperation, immorality and malevolence, and is connected with acid poisons, accidents, catastrophes, and operations. But with Jupiter it “can make for marked achievements.” [1] It also gives a probing, sharp intellect and incisive wit with an enterprising spirit of keenness of insight.

People with this star strong in their charts are noted for doing well in debate, business, sport, and high office in general. If not well aspected, though, they can be inclined to strike first and ask afterwards, with an embarrassing loss of face. [2]

Jupiter Retrograde T-Square

Moon square Mercury can bring disagreement because of parochialism or moodiness. You may feel very opinionated on a particular subject and care little what others think.

Emotional biases can influence your thinking, and your intellectual reasoning can influence how your feel about a person or subject. Try to take a critical look at both sides as you perfect your ideas.

Mercury square Jupiter brings a broad and optimistic outlook. But a lack of concentration or inability to focus on the smaller details may lead to errors of judgement and mistakes.

Overconfidence is possible and could be seen as arrogance or even bigotry. Don’t promise too much or over-estimate your abilities when making plans for the future.

Moon opposite Jupiter brings good feelings and generosity but also lack self-control and gullibility. If you are too trusting and kind you could be taken advantage of. Your generosity might be seen as a weakness by others.

Being less guarded about your feelings can be an open invitation to interfering mothers or moral crusaders. Obsessions and jealousy are possible.

Concerns about your future or questioning of your belief system could make you feel emotionally upset and trigger excessive behaviors such as over eating and substance abuse.

Asteroid Juno

Asteroid Juno conjunct Moon makes romance a major focus of Jupiter retrograde 2019. Juno rules women of childbearing age, soul mates, true love and commitment.

Demetra George says Juno symbolizes the mystical union, or state of spiritual consciousness you can reach when you transcend your ego. Overcoming separateness through union and becoming one with the universe.

“Juno symbolizes the yearning for full mystic union that is emotionally, sexually, and psychologically fulfilling…In the horoscope, Juno represents the emotional and psychological needs that motivate us to seek marital union” [3]

But the challenging star and aspects suggest true love will be tested by selfishness, arrogance, intolerance, jealousy, infidelity or disloyalty.

Venus conjunct Neptune reinforces the romantic theme of Jupiter retrograde 2019. It brings new love or more compassion and spiritual bonding to an existing relationship. But disappointment is possible if you have not been accepting the harsh realities of a negative relationship.

Jupiter square Neptune on June 16 stays within 2° orb all of June 2019 so it is important for Jupiter retrograde 2019. It can test your faith due to an embarrassment or disappointment. You may have been too trusting or over idealized a romantic interest.

Avoid being too optimistic. You may feel trusting and generous but the risk of delusion and deception is too great to risk your resources. Also avoid gambling, drugs, gurus, cults and get-rich-quick schemes. Rely on the advice of trusted friends and family.

Venus Square Jupiter 15 April 2019

Celtic knot

Venus Square Jupiter 15 April 2019

Venus square Jupiter in the natal chart makes you a fortunate, creative and fun-loving person. Of all the challenging square aspects in astrology, this has to be the best one. There are a number of associated difficulties but they are generally quite easy to overcome.

Your optimistic outlook, generosity and all-round charming good nature makes you pleasant to be around and you should be popular, having little difficulty making friends. The tension that does exist inside you is actually a good motivator for creativity. This aspect favors any of the arts including drama, comedy, music, creative writing, painting and sculpture. Your sense of humor would verge on the cheeky side.

Motivation may be a problem for you when it comes to daily chores and monotonous hard work to earn an income. A lack of self-discipline can cause difficulties at work and in fulfilling other serious duties and responsibility in life. This would be especially so when you have a family. Your charisma will only get you so far in avoiding the heavy responsibilities involved in raising children.

Other people may find you to have questionable, or ‘loose’ morals. This would most likely cause problems in your love life, where lowering your standards would cause complications or embarrassment. Or it could be that making commitments in relationships like marriage causes you concern. Sometimes a lax attitude may irritate your partner, or you may give the impression that you don’t care, or couldn’t be bothered.

However, as mentioned earlier, it would not take too much effort to address any weaknesses that add friction to your relationships. The same applies to your finances. You may have difficulty finding enough money to support the lifestyle you desire. Such luxuries as entertainment, amusements and holidays may require you to take on a more responsible position in your career.

There is a tendency with this aspect to overestimate your resources and to be rather extravagant. The worst case scenarios would involve greed and addiction. Your generosity to yourself and others may need to be reigned in. Generally, however, you should enjoy enough lucky breaks in life to avoid many of the hardships which restrict others people’s ability to enjoy life to the fullest.

Venus Square Jupiter Transit

Transiting Venus square Jupiter is ideal for having fun but not so good for working hard. You should be feeling happy, optimistic, generous and very sociable. Problems will arise if you need to attend to more serious matters in which a responsible or conservative attitude is needed.

This is generally a good time for socializing and making new friends. Care must be taken, however, not to lower your standards if dating as this could lead to wrong choices or embarrassing situations. You may be more inclined to have an affair at this time and that would eventually backfire leading to stress in a marriage.

Dieters may have difficulty avoiding gluttony at this time. A tendency toward greed, excess and extravagance also poses problems for drinkers and drug users. Moderation is required but that is difficult to come by when you are in such a jovial mood.

One more area of concern is you finances, as Venus rules money and Jupiter rules wealth. There will be a tendency to overspend on luxury items, fashion, cosmetic, holidays and entertainment, anything that you can actually do without if money is tight.

The Sky This Week from April 15 to 21

CELTIC KNOT

The Sky This Week from April 15 to 21

The Full Moon dominates the sky late this week, but observers still have good opportunities to view several bright planets and the winter sky’s swan song.
By Richard Talcott
Monday, April 15
The annual Lyrid meteor shower ramps up this week. Although the shower won’t peak until the morning of April 23, you should see a few meteors in the predawn hours before then despite the presence of a bright Moon. To tell a Lyrid from a sporadic meteor, trace the streak of light back to its origin. Lyrids appear to come from the constellation Lyra the Harp, while sporadics appear at random and can come from any direction.Tuesday, April 16
Mars continues to add luster to Taurus the Bull this week. And this evening, the Red Planet passes 7° due north of the constellation’s brightest star, ruddy 1st-magnitude Aldebaran. Shining at magnitude 1.6, Mars appears slightly fainter than Aldebaran. The planet lies 30° above the western horizon an hour after sundown and doesn’t set until after 11 p.m. local daylight time.

The Moon reaches perigee, the closest point in its orbit around Earth, at 6:05 p.m. EDT. It then lies 226,306 miles (364,205 kilometers) away from us.

Wednesday, April 17
Venus pokes above the eastern horizon about an hour before sunrise. The brilliant planet dominates the predawn sky as the rosy glow heralding the Sun’s arrival grows brighter. Venus shines at magnitude –3.9, nearly four times brighter than the second-brightest planet, Jupiter. When viewed through a telescope, the inner world shows a disk that spans 12″ and appears 85 percent lit.

Thursday, April 18
Full Moon arrives at 7:12 a.m. EDT tomorrow morning, but it looks completely illuminated throughout the night. It rises in the east shortly before the Sun sets this evening and reaches its peak in the south around 1 a.m. local daylight time. The Full Moon lies in Virgo, about one binocular field northeast of that constellation’s brightest star, 1st-magnitude Spica.Friday, April 19
Jupiter continues to grow more prominent before dawn. The giant planet rises shortly after midnight local daylight time and climbs nearly 30° high in the south as twilight starts to paint the sky. It also shines at magnitude –2.4, making it the brightest point of light in the sky until Venus rises during twilight. A telescope reveals at least two conspicuous cloud belts on Jupiter’s 42″-diameter disk and the four bright Galilean moons.

Saturday, April 20
Look west after the last vestiges of twilight fade away and you’ll witness the beginning of the winter sky’s decline. By 9:30 p.m. local daylight time, the lower tier of bright winter stars and constellations barely clears the horizon. From mid-northern latitudes, Sirius in Canis Major, Aldebaran in Taurus, and the three belt stars of Orion the Hunter all stand about 10° high. (Ten degrees is the approximate width of your closed fist when held at arm’s length.) Still, a higher tier of winter stars remains prominent. Look for Capella in Auriga, Castor and Pollux in Gemini, and Procyon in Canis Minor to keep the cold season on our minds — and in the sky — for several weeks to come.

Sunday, April 21
Saturn grows more conspicuous in the morning sky with each passing week. The ringed planet rises before 2 a.m. local daylight time and climbs 20° above the southeastern horizon by the time twilight begins. Saturn shines at magnitude 0.5 and appears significantly brighter than any of the background stars in its host constellation, Sagittarius the Archer. A telescope shows the gas giant’s 17″-diameter disk and a stunning ring system that spans 38″ and tilts 23° to our line of sight.

Question of the Day (Alright Guys This One Is For You)

It is a common misunderstanding by those who are not familiar with the Craft to call male witches, “warlocks.” I know I have seen new comers to the Craft and they also refer to themselves as Warlocks. They think being called a warlock is, I guess a super witch or cool but really. I have tried to tell them that a male witch is not a warlock, just another witch and then give them the definition of a warlock. They get mad because they don’t like the definition I give them and tell me I am wrong. I think since I am a Hereditary Witch, I should know what I am talking about. So guys, it’s your turn……What I want to know has anyone ever found out you were a witch and then said, “Hey, you’re a warlock?” If so, did you correct them? Also how does it make you feel when you are referred to as a warlock?

I will give you my answer or opinion right now, it makes me very angry when someone refers to our brothers as warlocks. To me it is a personal insult to each and every male in our community and I believe anyone ignorant enough to refer to a male witch as a warlock, should be corrected. I believe if I were a male witch being called a warlock would be fighting words. To be referred to as an oath-breaker, a person who has betrayed their own and done unspeakable acts, that to me would be a slap in the old face. Now guys, I want to hear your take on this subject. You’ve heard mine, now it is your turn.
