All Signs

This week is a mixed bag. Monday has dreamlike qualities. “Do I have to get dressed? Do I have to go to work?” Tuesday is a stark contrast: “Ten-shun!” Rise and shine! Get stuff done. Be productive. Smart salute! Wednesday is disarmingly cozy, sensitive and emotional — a chance to get in touch with loved ones. And then we have Thursday. (“It was Thursday. It was Thursday all day.”) Thursday might be kinda scary. Best to go along to get along. Tread carefully. (“Don’t ask!”) Fortunately, (sigh of relief) – Friday is full of pleasant possibilities. Thank goodness. All’s well that ends well. The weekend is a fun-loving time with the promise of meaningful overnight relationships. “He was strong and compassionate and he really knew how to accessorize.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Jupiter will be in your sign for three more weeks so make the most of this. It’s a wonderful blessing that brings many advantages. Fear not because after Jupiter leaves your sign, it enters your Money House to boost your earnings. Would I did you? The good things just keep coming! Nevertheless, there could be some financial hiccups this week. Keep an eye on your money and your banking scene. Likewise, something might impact a possession. For example, you might break something or lose it. There’s a strong focus on home, family and kids this week. Later in the week, grab opportunities to socialize. Fortunately, no matter what happens, the placement of Venus in your chart will sweeten your words, making you charming and diplomatic with everyone.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a powerful time for you because the Sun is in your sign, which boosts your energy and your confidence. Venus continues to attract money your way. Yes, it also seduces you to spend it on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. It’s a busy, fast-paced week until Thursday and Friday, when you might want to hunker down or entertain at home. Count on a fun, socially active weekend. Enjoy sports events, entertaining diversions, picnics, hikes, playful times with children and romantic get-togethers. Be patient with goofy, silly mistakes caused by Mercury retrograde in your sign. (Hear no evil; see no evil; date no evil.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This week is low-profile because the Sun is hiding in your chart until your birthday arrives. Nevertheless, Venus in your sign will heighten your desire to socialize with others. Enjoy schmoozing. Money and financial issues will be your focus at the beginning of the week. However, towards the end of the week, meaningful, serious discussions with siblings, relatives and neighbours will take place, mainly because you want to put your cards on the table. You want to tell it like it is, and you expect people to take you seriously. This makes sense because this is your time of harvest when you see clearly what’s working and what is not. (Note: Your last time of harvest was 1994-1996.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your popularity continues! Many of you are involved with younger people, especially people you haven’t seen for a while. Possibly, these interactions will prompt you to rethink future goals? Fiery Mars in your sign is boosting your energy! The Moon is in your sign until Thursday, which makes you more emotional than usual; however, it will improve your good luck. This is a time of good fortune for you because lucky Jupiter is at the top of your chart making you look successful in the eyes of others (even if you don’t feel this way). Nevertheless, because you project success, you can easily promote yourself with authority types.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The Sun is at the top of your chart, acting like a flattering spotlight on you, which makes you look good in the eyes of others even if you don’t do anything special. This is why you might be promoted or asked to take on increased responsibilities. Just say yes. (You can do this.) This is a lovely week to schmooze with friends and groups. In fact, a friend might become a lover. Watch your back at the beginning of the week in case someone does not have your best interests at heart. By Thursday, (a challenging day) the Moon is in your sign until midday Saturday. This means Friday is a wonderful day to schmooze and express your creative talents. Explore publishing opportunities as well as avenues in medicine and the law.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Travel plans will be a bit up in the air this week, which means if you are travelling, double check details and plans because cancellations, delays and misunderstandings are highly likely. Fortunately, Venus is high in your chart now, and this makes you look charming and approachable. In fact, you look so charming, some of you might strike up a romance with your boss. Competitive sports, and physical activities will be highly charged. Oh yes, you mean business. Take time in the beginning of the week to have a heart-to-heart talk with a friend or a member of a group. On Saturday and Sunday, the Moon will be in your sign giving you a lucky edge over all the other signs.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re keen to accomplish a lot because Mars at the top of your chart, makes you identify with your efforts. However, this can also trigger conflict with coworkers and authority figures. Be careful. Meanwhile, you are a sign who appreciates beauty; and this week, you might have a consciousness-expanding experience through the beauty of art. Make time to enjoy art exhibits, galleries and appreciate the work of others. Travel if possible because enjoyable pleasure trips will appeal. Some will fall in love with someone “different”. No matter what you do at this time, your idealism is aroused along with your appreciation of beauty. Give yourself a chance to admire your world.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Two contradictory influences are at play now. One influence makes you a bit tired. You’ll need more sleep. (Take naps.) The other influence urges you to expand your mind, learn new things, travel and seek adventure and excitement! (This same energy might trigger legal difficulties.) The upshot of this is you will have to juggle these two influences, which are both present. One will not cancel the other out. They both exist. Meanwhile, money and favours from others might come to you. Romantic relationships will be very affectionate and loving. So much is happening for you! Albert Einstein said, “Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a productive time! You’re setting high standards for yourself and others because you’re ambitious to accomplish a lot. Coupled with your driven energy, Venus, opposite your sign, is creating smooth relationships with others. (Nice combo.) The only hitch is that fiery Mars might trigger problems with resources held by others or jointly-held property or your efforts to get a loan or mortgage. Disputes about inheritances or anything that has to be shared or divided might be a challenge now. Trust in your ability to sort things out and do your homework. By Friday, do something different to shake things up a bit. A short trip or change of scenery will please you. (The secret of life is not dying.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The beginning of this week is tricky because Mars opposite your sign can trigger conflict with others, especially with those close to you. (You might even encounter enemies.) What complicates this is that on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with the Moon opposite your sign, you have to give way. You have to cooperate and go more than halfway when dealing with others. This could be a challenge! Fortunately, the Sun will encourage fun-loving, lighthearted behaviour; and Venus will smooth relations with coworkers. So, there’s a lot going your way. This means you have to pick and choose your words carefully. Act in such a way that you will have no regrets. Don’t get even – get odd.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Home and family continue to be your top priority. (Perhaps a parent.) Furthermore, Mercury retrograde will attract relatives you haven’t seen in a while. Nevertheless, the planets favour you. Venus encourages romance, entertaining diversions, the theatre, sports events and fun activities with kids. While Mars will help you work hard and delegate to others. Be aware that on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when the Moon is opposite your sign, you will have to be accommodating and cooperate with others, even if you don’t want to. This opposing Moon occurs for 2 1/2 days every month and when it does, you have to bow to the demands of others in a friendly, easy-going way. No biggie.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s a fast-paced week. Mercury retrograde will create travel delays, snafus, miscommunications, hiccups and possibly, mild accidents. Therefore, slow down and be aware of what you’re doing. Pay attention. Think before you speak or act. Enjoy entertaining at home as well as redecorating and making your digs look more attractive. Competitive sports and physical activities with kids will appeal. There is a strong playful element influencing your sign this week; however, by Thursday-Friday, you want to get down to business and accomplish something. Continue to look for ways to boost your income. (Money is so handy when you want to buy stuff.)

All Signs

We have a Solar Eclipse midweek making a harsh angle with big daddy Pluto, which will create feelings of rebellion against authority. (Get ready.) Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde in the same sign will make people reassess and rethink things before charging ahead with old plans (or no plans). This week it’s time to take a breath, assess the situation, then decide what to do and how to do it. The beginning of the week is full of feelings of expectation and potential. After rebellious feelings subside midweek, the end of the week is a wonderful time to spend with loved ones. Yes, it’s a mixed bag. One day you’re the greatest thing since sliced bread. The next – you’re toast.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Feelings of rebellion midweek will concern money, earnings, possessions and how they relate to a friend or a group. In fact, this heightened focus on money will prevail for the next four weeks. You will be more concerned about the things that you own, as well. Very likely, you will be dealing with past issues that are back to haunt you again. Certainly, increased chaos and activity on the home front will keep you on your toes. Fortunately, Venus will smooth your communications with others at this time; and of course, with lucky Jupiter in your sign, you have divine protection! You’ve got this covered.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week the Sun moves into your sign to stay for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year, and when it occurs, it empowers you! It’s your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year. It’s an especially beneficial time because you will attract people and favourable situations to you as well as gifts and goodies. With Venus in your Money House, expect money and wealth to come your way. In turn, you will spend money on beautiful things. You will be direct and forceful in your communications with others, which means you’ll get your way. Mars will keep you busy with short trips, appointments and an ambitious schedule. No moss growing on you!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might feel rebellious midweek. It’s almost as if you feel contrary to whatever is going on around you. Relax – this is temporary. Meanwhile, the next four weeks will have a limbo-like quality because the Sun is hiding in your chart. Accept this and be happy to take a backseat. Enjoy times of solitude. Choose to work alone or behind the scenes. This is actually the perfect window to define some goals for your “new year” after your birthday arrives. What do you want to achieve in your coming year? Goals help you focus; plus, they make future decision-making easier. Meanwhile, enjoy your increased popularity! Treat yourself to some wardrobe items so that you feel great about how you look.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Looking good! Lucky Jupiter at the top of your chart makes you look successful in the eyes of others. It will also bring you opportunities to shine in whatever you do. Meanwhile, this week the Sun moves into a new part of your chart, boosting your popularity for the next four weeks! Go with what’s happening. Make an effort to see friends, especially old friends. Not only will you enjoy schmoozing with your pals, you will enjoy increased activity with clubs and professional organizations. Mars in your sign makes you more confident and boosts your energy and drive, which is why you will create a great impression on everyone. You da bomb!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Once a year, the Sun moves across the top of your chart. It takes about four weeks. This week, it begins. Get ready for some great press, because when the Sun is at the top of your chart, it acts like a flattering spotlight on you, which means people notice you more, and they admire you! Even if you don’t do anything special. (It’s all smoke and mirrors.) Obviously, since this advantage occurs only once a year – use it! Go after what you want, especially if you need to make an impression on someone, or make your pitch or ask for permission. Do be careful midweek because rebellious feelings with authority figures might arise; but this is temporary. Enjoy schmoozing with creative friends. Romance is promising!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

For the next four weeks, you want a change of scenery. If you can’t travel on a long trip, then get away for a weekend. Take a day trip. Be a tourist in your own city. Go to new places or restaurants, parks and museums. Hike outdoors. Do something that makes you feel more alive! You also want to learn something new and thought-provoking. This is because you want to expand your experience of life, which is a healthy thing. Venus, at the top of your chart, makes you look attractive and charming to everyone. Someone will ask for your advice about how to improve something. Physical sports and competition with others will make you feel stoked!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For the next four weeks, the Sun will be in the part of your chart that deals with the resources of others, taxes, debt, inheritances, wills, estates and shared property. This will be the perfect time to wrap up old business in these areas. In fact, you’ll be surprised at how swiftly you will do this. In part, this is because your ambition is aroused. (Oh yes, you’re pro-active!) Nevertheless, if you can travel for pleasure, you will. (Take some time off for good behaviour.) Meanwhile, with lucky Jupiter opposite your sign, partnerships and close friendships will be more meaningful and important to you. They will also be a source of joy.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week the Sun moves opposite your sign, which happens once a year and lasts for four weeks. When this occurs, you will need more sleep because your energy will lag. (Take cat naps.) In addition, this polarized position of the Sun will magnify your focus on partners, spouses and close friends. Suddenly, you have more objectivity and the ability to see your role in these relationships. (You won’t be able to kid yourself.) But this is a good thing. This new objectivity will help you to see how you act in your closest relationships – giving you a chance to see how to improve your style of dealing with those who are closest to you. (Major bonus!) Expect improvements in your job and your health. Romance is affectionate.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

For the next four weeks, you will work hard to be efficient and productive. Nevertheless, Mercury retrograde will dog your steps with silly mistakes. Cut yourself some slack. Mid-week, you might want to rebel against something, especially if you think it’s holding you back, or others aren’t pulling their weight. Fortunately, with Venus opposite your sign, all your relationships (both professional and personal) are smooth because there is less ego involved. You are less judgmental and more forgiving, which certainly makes you happier, and others as well. Money disputes or arguments about inheritances might arise. Fortunately, Jupiter will bring you lots of opportunities for pleasure and fun!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This week you enter a four-week window that is perfect for vacations, increased socializing and exploring the arts. Enjoy musical performances, the theatre, movies as well as sports events. Get out and have fun! Plan an exciting getaway. Have a picnic. Do something that makes you feel you’re giving yourself a treat. Old flames might be back in your world, which can be tricky. Sometimes this is exciting but generally, it’s unnerving. (When you go out, dress sharp because living well is the best revenge.) Be patient with partners and close friends at this time. Fortunately, relations with coworkers are excellent. Continue to ponder ways to improve where you live because this will pay off.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

For the next four weeks, your focus on home and family will be more direct and more involved. This could be because you’re dealing with a parent more than usual or an older family member? Certainly, relatives you haven’t seen for a while are back on the scene. Fortunately, the placement of both Venus and Mars will mean you’re ready to work hard and party hard! Not only will you have the energy to accomplish what you want to do; at the same time, you’ll enjoy entertaining diversions, social outings and playful times with kids. Basically, your outlook is more optimistic! Have you noticed this? It’s easy to be happy and not realize it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

For the next four weeks, the pace of your days will accelerate in a fun, busy way. You will have more outings, more appointments, and increased contact with siblings, relatives and neighbours. You might take short trips. You will have more tasks and errands to run that will create a busy schedule. But hey, it will be fun busy! You will like this new pace. It will be stimulating and lively, and you’ll enjoy seeing new places and meeting new faces. Many of you will redecorate or tweak your digs because you will entertain at home. You’ll enjoy sports activities with kids. Romance will sizzle as well because you’re up for a good time! A boost in your income will also help you to play in fun, exciting ways.

April 16, 2023 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the April 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on April 16 has an illumination of 17%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On April 16 the Moon is 25.54 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

Phase Details

Phase: Waning Crescent
Illumination: 17%
Moon Age: 25.54 days
Moon Angle: 0.55
Moon Distance: 365,335.70 km

Moon Alert

Caution! Avoid shopping or important decisions from 11 AM to 7 PM EDT today (8 AM to 4 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
