Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for April 15

As the recent Pluto and Mars stations both lessen in influence, another challenge appears on the horizon. The annual Sun-Saturn opposition – from Aries to Libra (11:27AM PDT) – should be approached with care and caution. Strive to remove worry, self-doubt and fear from your mind and heart. There can be progress on the partnership front if you are honest with yourself, and attempt to address impediments to relationship harmony with logic and common sense. What favors a breakthrough are the Moon making a supportive, 60-degree alliance with the Sun (3:43PM PDT), Juno trine Uranus in fire signs (6:19PM PDT), and Ceres making a productive, 60-degree rapport with Neptune (6:49PM PDT). However, the Moon enters a void lunar cycle at 3:43PM PDT (lasting until 10:39PM PDT) while a Vesta-Chiron 45-degree skirmish (3:55PM PDT) adds a note of conflict to the overall proceedings. The bottom line is you need to take today’s Sun-Saturn encounter seriously and – if possible – put legal matters and heavy-duty business concerns on the back burner. Once the Moon leaves void status by entering Pisces (10:39PM PDT), express your feelings with greater compassion and empathy as Sunday shifts into Monday. Write down out-of-the-body visions and Technicolor dreams as the lunar orb makes its monthly union with Neptune at 3:27AM PDT tomorrow.

New Moon Report for April 10th – Pluto Retrograde

Pluto Retrograde

Tuesday, April 10, 9:21 am PDT, 12:21 pm EDT

Pluto’s reversal is a very subtle shift because this planet already lives in the underworld. Yet for the next four months we may be diving more deeply into the shadows of fear and desire. Exploring the depths of the psyche can lead to treasure troves of energy that are hidden in the secrets that we keep from ourselves. Being kind and gentle with ourselves is essential when we are brave enough to face the truth.

New Moon Report for April 6th – Full Moon in Libra

Full Moon in Libra

Friday, April 6, 12:19 pm PDT, 3:19 pm EDT

The Full Moon in accommodating Libra opposes the Sun in independent Aries. It’s a face-off between compromise and self-interest, coupling up or going it alone. This lunation arouses emotions about fairness and sharing that sharpen our understanding of relationships. Acknowledging personal desires is a good starting point for building healthy partnerships when it’s balanced with an equal concern for the needs of others.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, April 6th

Full Moon days don’t always require a slow-down, but with the Moon parallel Saturn (12:10AM PDT) and the Sun making a frictional, 45-degree link with dreamy and potentially obfuscating Neptune (8:46AM PDT), it is wise to heed some of the cosmic cautionary signals this morning. Once the exact time of the Full Moon (energizing 18 degrees of Aries and Libra) arrives – 12:20PM PDT – illuminating vibrations are at their peak. Individual and group meditations are advised. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to humanity, and the kingdoms of nature. Think more about helping others and fulfilling your higher destiny on Spaceship Earth than on making things happen your way. In esoteric circles, this Full Moon is considered the first of three in a row that emphasize the will, love and intelligence of divinity – however we understand that sense of infinite and eternal wisdom, grace and peace. Stop worrying about trivial pursuits and the actions of dear ones that you cannot control. The continuing transit of the Moon in Libra places a distinct focus on improving the quality of your primary partnerships. Enjoy a night on the town or take a significant other to a movie, play or musical concert. Let the good times roll!

Daily Cosmic Calendar for April 5th

Patience is a cardinal virtue – so goes the ancient maxim. Put this theory into practice during the first part of the day while the Moon parallels Mercury (12:45AM PDT) and Chiron (5:50AM PDT), but remains void-of-course in Virgo until 8:33AM PDT. During any void lunar cycle, it is best to finish old business on a high note, but wait until inaugurating new, bold plans until the Moon enters the next sign of the zodiac. Once the clock strikes 8:33AM PDT, the Moon in Libra points you toward being more active in social affairs, creative artistic expression, and improving the quality of primary partnerships. A Moon-Venus flowing trine in air signs (11:42AM PDT) magnifies the potentials contained in the Moon’s presence in harmony-striving Libra. Topsy-turvy, unsettled conditions roll into town later on as the Moon opposes Uranus (4:55PM PDT) while Venus squares its higher-octave planet Neptune (6:50PM PDT). The Moon-Uranus polarity puts key relationships on edge while the Venus-Neptune face-off adds a strong note of confusion to affairs of the heart and delicate business negotiations. Psychic storm warnings are still reverberating later on due to a Moon-Pluto square (11:53PM PDT) and as the Moon approaches a parallel with taskmaster Saturn (forming exactly at 12:10AM PDT tomorrow). Get set for the powerful Full Moon – activating Aries Sun and Libra Moon – at 12:20PM PDT on Friday.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for April 4th

Uncertainty is definitely on the rise as Mercury shifts from retrograde to direct at 24 degrees of Pisces (3:12AM PDT). All Mercury themes – communication, reading and writing, classes and primary education, information exchange, transportation and travel plans, health and nutrition, sleight of hand, con artists, split-personality and theft – are energized throughout the day. [Mercury’s next retrograde cycle will begin on July 14 and last until August 7.] However, just because Mercury is no longer moving in reverse doesn’t mean it is racing forward. It will take several days before Mercury gathers any realistic momentum. Therefore, it is wise to still be cautious when it comes to signings, legal matters and making long-term agreements. Breakthroughs in consciousness and advances on the cutting edge of science and medicine are reinforced as the Moon trines Jupiter (6:36AM PDT) and the Moon parallels Uranus (7:20AM PDT). The Moon in Virgo always gives an emphasis to themes associated with health, diet and nutrition. Stock up on vitamins, supplements, herbs, tea, grains, cereals, nuts, seeds and seasonings. With the potent Full Moon only two days away – occurring on Friday April 6 – today and tomorrow constitute a 48-hour time-period of preparation for the enlightening vibes about to be released during the monthly solar-lunar high point. Business and communications are in the iffy category overnight as the Moon opposes Mercury (10:38PM PDT) – which starts a void lunar twilight zone that lasts until 8:33AM PDT tomorrow when the Moon enters Libra.

Day of Prometheus

Colors: Blue and red

Invocation to Prometheus

Long ago, wars tore the land
And the great and powerful laid waste
To all things, and some won,
and some lost, but the true losers
Were those unfortunate humans
Who were beneath the notice of either side.
One Titan took pity on them,
And tricked the gods who would have
Robbed them of even their food,
And taught them to keep the best part
Of their sacrifices for themselves.
And then, to help them further
In the face of the wrath of the powerful,
He stole fire from the sacred forge
And gave it to weak humanity.
And for this he was punished,
As he knew he would be punished,
Chained to a stone and torn by a vulture.
And yet the knowledge of that punishment
Did not deter him from his goal,
For when there is something that must be done,
And it is right to do it,
Then harm to body and mind
Does not stop right action.
For this we hail Prometheus,
Lord of Forethought,
He who sacrifices for the good of all,
He who knows what it is to be right,
And what will be the consequences.

(All stand before the altar and salute the torch, and speak of their own convictions.)

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

A man with a large nose will attack you with a sword today, while composing free verse in archaic French. Luckily, he’ll get stuck trying to come up with a word that rhymes with “l’orange”, and you’ll have time to slip out the back way.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Today you will put your foot down, regarding your turn at dinner preparation versus dining out. In other words, “if you ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Today you will become a card-carrying member of a new and very exclusive organization named “Yeomen of the Carbuncle”, although you’ll spend a lot of time at the first meeting debating whether it should actually be called “Yeopersons of the Carbuncle.”

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Not only is this a good day to throw a tantrum, but there’s a good chance that you might set a new distance record!

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

A strange package will appear on your doorstep — a basket of fresh longan fruit, lined with a page from yesterday’s Beijing newspaper. This could be a sign…

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Excellent day to be expansive and benevolent. It will make people worry.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

You are about to invent a night light in the shape of a chess piece, which you will name the “Nighty Knight.” You should be ashamed of yourself.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Bad news: people think you’re becoming paranoid. Isn’t that just typical, though? I mean, they don’t even HAVE invisible malevolent air-squids spying on THEM, do they?

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Today you will seek out new life, and new civilisations. You won’t find any, of course, but you will discover a really excellent Chinese restaurant in the process.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)

Bad news: people think you’re becoming paranoid. Isn’t that just typical, though? I mean, they don’t even HAVE invisible malevolent air-squids spying on THEM, do they?

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

Today will be especially trying, and if you’re not careful, you could end up in a pretty grumpy frame of mind. Take precautions! Wear your E.T. underwear.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Remember: you can’t tell your boss to get lost. You can, however, give him the wrong directions.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 10th

Today is a mixture of opportunities and challenges – with the auspicious alignments outweighing the potentially discordant ones. Upfront and early is a flowing trine in fire signs linking Mercury in Aries to Juno in Sagittarius (12:54AM PST). Because four other resourceful sky patterns will happen later today, you have an excellent chance to grow, expand and evolve across the board. However, you will want to move past morning tensions that could arise when the Moon is contra-parallel Mars (4:37AM PST) and then parallel to Neptune (6:16AM PST). Some confusion and chaos can be stirred up as the lunar orb contacts these two planets since they will also make a contra-parallel to one another on Monday evening March 12. Meanwhile, a rosier picture brightens this Saturday afternoon and evening as Juno trines Vesta in fire signs (3:03PM PST), Venus forms a supportive, 60-degree link with Chiron (6:29PM PST), Pallas makes a similar rapport with distant Pluto (9:51PM), and Mercury unites with Vesta in Aries (11:21PM PST). The investment scene, holistic healing realm, and the ability to work hard to solve problems are all being promoted. However, the monthly Moon-Saturn union in Libra (7:10PM PST) that also begins a short void lunar cycle in Libra from 7:10PM PST to 9:25PM PST can sow the seeds of self-doubt and short-circuit your well-prepared plans for success. Slow your tempo around the time of the Moon-Saturn conjunction and when the Moon is in its void uncertainty zone. Later on when the Moon enters passionate and intense Scorpio (9:25PM PST), play the role of amateur detective as you ferret out secrets and solve family mysteries.

The Daily Cosmic Calender for Friday, March 9th

Every so often the universe falls into a lull and decides not to bombard earthlings with excessive stormy weather, cosmically speaking. That is the scenario today as very few alignments happen compared to tomorrow and the four days thereafter as each day becomes a thrill ride every couple of hours. Right now Libra Moon suggests your continuing to improve the deeper and more sensitive aspects of your key relationships. In addition, explore the fine or graphic arts and take a friend to lunch at a favorite cafe. Visiting a gallery, museum or national landmark makes total sense. Your productivity quotient can rise in tandem with a Ceres-Uranus parallel (6:13AM PST). On the other hand, don’t be completely shocked if surprising events infiltrate the lives of maternal figures within your family. Be open to changing your diet or using a juicer to add vitamins and minerals to your daily intake of food. Realize that the two days that follow a Full Moon constitute a 48-hour time-period to disseminate the enlightening energies received when the Sun and Moon were at high tide in their monthly dance in the zodiac. Attend a play, piano recital, the ballet or a symphonic performance this evening under the welcoming aegis of Libra Moon. If going to the theater and having a night on the town is not your cup of tea, enjoy an impromptu party or gathering at your place. Love vibrations increase in wavelength as Mercury approaches a flowing trine in fire signs to Juno (forming exactly at 12:54AM PST on Saturday).

The Daily Cosmic Calender for Thursday, March 8th

With the Full Moon at its apotheosis (1:41AM PST and energizing 19 degrees of Pisces and Virgo), think more about helping the downtrodden and uplifting humanity than fulfilling your own personal needs. Service to the world – via compassion and empathy – is a special keynote right now. Send your thoughts and prayers to dear ones, friends, colleagues, humanity and the kingdoms of nature. What’s unusual about this Full Moon is that it simultaneously begins a long void lunar cycle in Virgo that lasts until 8:51PM PST. Therefore, finishing old business and projects from the last few weeks is more appropriate during the bulk of today rather than dashing ahead with new, bold plans. However, problem-solving and strategy sessions look promising – courtesy of a supportive, 60-degree alliance between Pallas and Jupiter (7:12AM PST). Breakthroughs in the arts, social affairs and even romance are possible due to a subtle and yet still important, 30-degree embrace between Venus in Taurus and Uranus in Aries (9:14AM PST). Chiron – the archetypal wounded healer, maverick, catalyst and bridge-builder between soul and personality – is supremely active later on as this celestial body is moving 30-degrees to Mercury (6:41PM PST), parallel to the Moon (9:02PM PST) and then parallel to the Sun (10:01PM PST). The last two alignments take place after the Moon has entered airy and affable Libra (8:51PM PST). The hours after the Moon’s shift into Libra are superb for improving the quality of your primary partnerships.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, March 4th

This is a good point in the Cosmic Calendar to remind you that solar and planetary alignments don’t just disappear in one day. Therefore, yesterday’s quartet of potent sky configurations – Sun opposite Mars, Vesta united with Uranus, Venus moving 135-degrees to Mars, and the Sun moving 135-degrees to Saturn – are still forces to reckon with, even if they are a little below the cosmic radar field. However, Venus in Aries is opposing Saturn in Libra (3:19AM PST) and this discordant aspect is clearly a polarity that can set in motion a big chill affecting love or money matters. Stop worrying about things you can’t control. Slow your tempo in romance and delicate business affairs. Emulate the tortoise rather than the hare in key activities this morning. It doesn’t help that the Moon squares Venus (2:18PM PST) – beginning a short void lunar cycle in Cancer that lasts until 3:19PM PST. The good news is that 3:19PM PST offers the Moon a new lease on life by entering fiery Leo and making two, mind-expanding trines – to Mercury (8:58PM PST) and Uranus (9:26PM PST). Because the Moon is closing in on harmonious trine patterns to Mercury and Uranus quickly, this implies that Mercury and Uranus are about to converge. That Mercury-Uranus inspirational union occurs tomorrow and – due to Mercury’s upcoming reversal on March 12 – Mercury will also unite with Uranus on March 18 and April 22. Get set for a highly stimulating start to the workweek tomorrow as Venus enters its main home sign of Taurus (2:26AM PST on Monday).

Calendar of the Sun for February 27th

Calendar of the Sun
27 Solmonath

Day of the Elders

Colors: Grey, silver, and purple
Element: Earth
Altar: On cloth of purple, grey, and silver place three lit grey candles scented with cypress, a branch of yew, a silver chalice of fruit juice, and a silver tray of frosted white cakes.
Offerings: Food or other aid given to organizations that give aid to elders. Offer to spend time helping or keeping companionship with an elder.
Daily Meal: Allow the three eldest members of the community to choose the meal.

Invocation to the Elder Spirit

Hail, Old One,
Crone and Wise Man,
Silver of hair
And adamant of spirit,
Aged like fine wine
Through years of experience;
You who watch the young ones grow
And remember their path
And tell them the pitfalls ahead,
You who have made a friend
Of changing Time,
You whom Saturn has blessed
With a double circle,
You who keep the mysteries
And the secret knowledge,
You who mentor and teach,
Show us how to walk gracefully
Into the sunset of life.

(The chant for this day should be a wordless harmony. First the cakes are passed around, served in order of age, eldest first; then the juice is likewise shared. Then each member of the community, starting with the youngest, goes before each member who is past their second Saturn return, or if there are none the eldest among them, kneels, and asks for their blessing. After the next eldest has asked for the blessing of the eldest, the ritual is ended.)
