New Moon Report for April 21 – New Moon in Taurus

New Moon in Taurus

Saturday, April 21, 12:18 am PDT, 3:18 am EDT

The New Moon in earthy Taurus starts a slow-cooking fire, creating opportunities to increase income and discover fresh sources of pleasure. Investing in a solid foundation of training, tools and developing personal resources with patience establishes a base from which future success will grow. Taurus likes a steady pace, so don’t be in a hurry to get where you want to go. Sticking to a practical plan is a surer way to achieve your goals than trying to beat the clock. Long-range strategic thinking will pay dividends, while get-rich-quick schemes are likely to fail. Skillful Mars in Virgo and potent Pluto in Capricorn form favorable aspects to this Sun-Moon conjunction, producing a Grand Earth Trine that favors pragmatism and productivity. Yet a lovely slice of imagination is blended into this cosmic dish with a supportive sextile from dreamy Neptune to the New Moon. This spiritual planet softens Taurean stubbornness with compassion and faith, bringing a higher purpose to even the most mundane tasks.

The Taurus New Moon is like a fertile garden where healthy seeds can take root and grow. Nurturing the soil of ourselves with constructive thoughts and healthy behavior may seem boring to some, yet the results are worth the effort. The ground upon which a positive future is built requires appreciation for oneself, so acknowledging our abilities and accomplishments is essential for feeding our ambitions. Taking time to enjoy life’s simple and sensual pleasures provides joy that makes the journey worthwhile.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for April 14th

This is a key time in this calendar to remind you that solar and planetary alignments from yesterday or even a few days ago are not entirely gone. The universe doesn’t wave a magic wand to make Friday’s contentious forces disappear. Instead, they are pushed below the surface, so to speak, but they may still have enormous power to throw you off-course. For example, yesterday’s halt by the red planet is still rippling through the ethers and that is why you should carefully review Friday’s message. In addition, realize that Mars won’t go into another retrograde cycle until March 1, 2014. In the meantime, antique hunters may rejoice a little since the Moon in Aquarius and Venus in Gemini form a flowing trine in air signs (8:11AM PDT) while Venus also makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Pluto (9:53AM PDT). If you are into research and in-depth studies – in the arts, crafts and realm of valuable items of historic value – then you may be able to tweak this Venus-Pluto connection to your advantage. On the other hand, Venus and Pluto in a 150-degree relationship could be detrimental for love birds and courageous souls trying to demonstrate their affections to a dear one. The Moon contra-parallel to Mars (12:30PM PDT) reinforces the notion that romance may be rather tricky to enhance today. And while one or two alignments tomorrow might encourage heart-felt expression, Sunday also brings with it the annual Sun-Saturn opposition – a polarity that is usually more frustrating than exhilarating. Nevertheless, with the Moon still transiting eccentric Aquarius, learning more about the Ageless Wisdom teachings, UFOs, ETs, astrology, numerology, ley lines and planetary vortexes may be one way to stay high as a kite.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for April 12th

If you read this calendar every day, then you already know that Saturn and Pluto are going to play potential mischief-makers. They often have that role anyway, but this morning they add some turbulence on the business, financial and professional fronts as Mercury makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Saturn (12:17AM PDT) while the Moon joins forces with distant Pluto in Capricorn (2:31AM PDT). Compared to Pluto’s station two days ago and tomorrow’s upcoming stoppage by Mars in Virgo, these two Saturn and Pluto sky patterns are a drop in the proverbial cosmic bucket. Nevertheless, they do constitute not-so-subtle warnings to be cautious with investments, assets and valuables. Old wounds and pains may also be surfacing from childhood days or broken-heart experiences since the Sun makes a frictional, 45-degree tie to Chiron (8:06AM PDT) while Venus squares Chiron (3:07PM PDT). Chiron can bring healing forces into your life while simultaneously making you sad about lost love and overlooked opportunities. Meanwhile, a ray of hope comes through the psychic cloud-cover as the Moon trines Jupiter (1:45PM PDT). Whether this one lunar aspect is capable of neutralizing some of today’s trauma remains to be seen. Be prepared for a provocative Friday the Thirteenth as the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase and Mars stopping its retrograde motion sound a stormy note.

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.

Today’s Cosmic Calendar for April 10th

It was only 6 days ago that Mercury left retrograde motion to turn direct. Now Pluto is doing the opposite, pausing in its motion at 10 degrees of Capricorn (9:25AM PDT) and shifting from direct to retrograde. All Pluto themes – death-rebirth, regeneration, willpower and purpose, depth psychology, lasers and positive use of atomic energy, the underworld, phobias, extremes, repressed emotions, scandals and invisible forces beyond one’s control – are accentuated now and during the next couple of days. [Pluto will remain in reverse until September 17, 2012 when it will turn direct again at 7 degrees of Capricorn.] Being pushy, egocentric and aggressive won’t win you friends and admirers. Events are also likely to boomerang against you – from the karmic perspective – if you insist on making others do your bidding because of your own arm-twisting maneuvers. Allow the higher vibrations of optimistic and happy-go-lucky Sagittarius Moon to run the show. You may also receive a helping hand from Venus in Gemini forming a polarity to Juno in Sagittarius (11:36AM PDT). If you can avoid jealousy and envy on the partnership front, then loving kindness coming from others to you may be the result. Tensions vie for supremacy with harmonic vibes this evening when the Sun makes a frictional, 45-degree link to Venus (7:22PM PDT) while the Sun also trines the Moon in fire signs (7:52PM PDT). Hopefully, the latter resourceful alignment will win out as the Moon in Sagittarius still carries a great force of enthusiasm and self-confidence.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for April 9th

Here’s yet another day when being patient in the early hours is the path of wisdom. The Moon is void in Scorpio until 8:13AM PDT when the lunar orb shifts into the fiery, enthusiastic sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius Moon usually carries a note of optimism, goal-orientation, and enjoyment of athletics and adventures in the great outdoors. While those keynotes are still available, you will need to gingerly move through a caustic, 45-degree link from Venus to Vesta (8:24AM PDT). This aspect places a warning on fooling around with assets and investments. Fortunately, some better business vibes may come into play as Venus forms a supportive, 60-degree rapport with innovative Uranus (9:53AM PDT) while productivity-enhancer Ceres enters earthy and pragmatic Taurus (1:41PM PDT) until June 23 and the Sun makes a fairly rare union with Vesta (5:07PM PDT). Thus, the tentative and questionable morning energy-field appears to be strengthening throughout the day. Plus – the Sun conjunction with Vesta is definitely a vast improvement business-wise over the Venus-Vesta skirmish. Be more fashion-conscious as the Moon makes its monthly union with Juno (6:37PM PDT). Add touches of beauty and elegance around your residence. Think of new ways to empower your primary partnerships. Do your best to prepare for tomorrow morning’s Pluto shift from direct to retrograde.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, April 8th

Just when it seemed that some of the tense sky patterns are losing their potency, along comes another whopper – in this case, it is the Sun making an abrasive, 135-degree link to the red planet Mars (1:08AM PDT). This kind of connection often equates with a rising tide of emotional turbulence or volatility. Since the Moon is also in Scorpio, rocking the love boat is not recommended. Do your best to calm dear ones who are under pressure or on the skids. Your words and acts can be a soothing balm rather than an inflammatory expression. Another reason for an increase in psychic storminess is that Pluto – ruler of the underworld, extreme fears, phobias and repressed feelings – is about to shift from direct to retrograde on Tuesday April 10. Many people can tune into planetary stations ahead of schedule and that is why a warning of this kind can be a life-saver. Meanwhile, avoid conflicts with loved ones, friends and associates later on as the Moon parallels Pluto (5:01PM PDT) and the Sun makes an uneasy contra-parallel with Saturn (8:56PM PDT). Hope for improvement on the communication front as the Moon approaches a flowing trine with Mercury (11:57PM PDT). However, this usually auspicious Moon-Mercury link-up also begins a void lunar cycle that lasts until 8:13AM PDT tomorrow morning when the Moon enters fiery, upbeat Sagittarius.

The Wicca Book of Days for April 3rd – Prosper with Proserpina

The Wicca Book of Days for April 3rd

Prosper with Proserpina

In ancient Rome, the return of Proserpina (called Persephone or Kore in Greece) was commemorated around now. Proserpina’s abduction by Dis (Pluto or Hades), and her incarceration in his gloomy, underworld realm, inflicted such grief on her mother, Ceres (Demeter), that the distraught Goddess caused all vegetable life–including vital cereal crops–to wither away and die, spelling famine for mortals. Eventually Jupiter (Zeus) decreed that Proserpina should spend half of the year in the underworld, and the other half above ground, the result being that her joyful mother has celebrated their annual reunion with springtime sprouting ever since.

 

 A Three Dimensional Day

Tune into the profound connotations inherent in the number three, such as the mind, body, and spirit, birth, life and death; and the past, present and future. Wear a triangular talisman perhaps, or spend time with two friends.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 28th

After two days more akin to happily-ever-after fairy tales than psychologically scary stories, the dark side of the universe begins to reveal itself again as Venus makes a tense, 135-degree link to underworld-ruling Pluto (1:52PM PDT) while one of two annual Sun-Pluto squares is waiting in the wings to pounce on humanity on Thursday. Today’s Venus-Pluto clash is a warning shot that romance, social affairs and the arts may be temporarily vulnerable to bickering and disagreements that could turn would-be harmony into bitter feelings. Thirty minutes earlier an inspirational, 72-degree link from Saturn to Pluto (1:22PM PDT) may have the gravitas to keep dear ones, friends and colleagues in a happy frame of mind. This Saturn-Pluto interaction is also a boon if you want to investigate esoteric philosophy in an in-depth manner. Feel free to change course this evening and enjoy lighthearted discussions with pals under airy Gemini Moon. Immerse yourself in a sci-fi classic, contemporary novel or biography. Try your hand at writing rhymed poetry, limericks or haiku.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, March 20th

Did you take full advantage of last night’s solar shift from the end of Pisces to the beginning of Aries? If not, utilize the first few hours today to be more gung-ho and assertive with your key plans and aims for the next year of your life. Healing forces are definitely on the march – courtesy of the monthly Moon-Chiron union in Pisces (6:02AM PDT). Be more compassionate and empathic to the truly needy and disenfranchised. This is reinforced a few hours later when Venus makes a contra-parallel to Pluto (10:15AM PDT). Venus in cahoots with Pluto in this kind of liaison can equate with a rising tide of challenges for lovers and business partners. Be a good listener who is ready to lend a helping hand rather than a critic who would rather disagree than find common ground. Mercury and Chiron also form a contra-parallel formation (2:52PM PDT) and this association can assist you in building bridges of trust and friendship with many people in your community and around the world. Dust off your problem-solving skills later on when the Moon makes its monthly union with Pallas (5:00PM PDT). This can also be a good time-period for having strategy sessions, conducting research and strengthening your immune system. Be ready to dance the night away as the Moon in Pisces can give you happy feet.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 11th

Psychic storm warnings are posted for today and tomorrow as the Moon continues its transit through Scorpio’s icy currents while Mercury is on the verge of making its retrograde station early tomorrow. Be extra sensitive to female relatives under pressure as Venus makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Juno (5:06AM PDT) and the Moon opposes Venus (9:33AM PDT). Even though tensions are palpable, you should be able to tap into your problem-solving skills since the Sun is making an inspirational, 72-degree contact with distant Pluto (5:12AM PDT). If you are in the mood to learn about unusual subjects, check out the wide-ranging literature on advances in holistic healing and alternative medicine as the Moon trines Chiron (8:34AM PDT). Counter any tendency toward worry and pessimism by lifting your spirits through enjoying your favorite arts, crafts or hobbies as Mercury forms a 30-degree link with Venus (8:47AM PDT). Take a good look at your insurance rates and coverage later on as Venus makes a similar link to Vesta (1:30PM PDT). Consider completing key tasks and work assignments today rather than tomorrow as Mercury in Aries shifts gears into reverse at 12:49AM PDT on Monday.

New Moon Report for March 5th – Venus in Taurus

New Moon Report for March 5th

by Jeff Jawer

 

Venus in Taurus

Monday, March 5, 2:25 am PST, 5:25 am EST

Alluring Venus’ return to her earthy home sign increases the potential for physical pleasure. All we need to do is to stop and appreciate the sweet things that delight our senses. This satisfying transit reminds us to find comfort by accepting ourselves as we are instead of trying so hard to become someone else. Still, resistance to change can lock down relationships and restrict us to familiar tastes and habits. Exercising a little flexibility goes a long way to overcome this self-limiting pattern.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, February 27th

Don’t take loved ones, friends or associates for granted as a new workweek begins under earnest and persistent Taurus Moon. Watch out for the shadow sides of lunar Taurus – obstinacy, laziness, too much pleasure-seeking, and resistance to change in any form. Helping you adapt to changing circumstances is an inspiring and vitality-enhancing Venus-Mars parallel (8:54AM PST). This sky pattern can also give romantic partners a burst of heart-to-heart energy. Put a tiger in your physical and emotional tanks as the Moon trines Mars in earth signs (2:09PM PST). Get back into the swing of exercise routines or a favorite sport. Improve your golf stroke, curve ball or tennis backhand. Willpower and mental concentration can be your teammates in working wonders on construction projects or professional enterprises – thanks to the supportive, 60-degree alliance between the radiant Sun and underworld-ruling Pluto (11:15PM PST). Reach out to nurture a loved one with your healing touch when Chiron squares off with Juno (11:28PM PST). This 90-degree aspect may have some tension built into it, but Chiron and Pallas are approaching an uplifting union in Pisces at 4:25AM PST tomorrow and you can pick up on these highly favorable vibes ahead of time.
