Mars signifies efforts, assertion, conflict, and the Aries and Scorpio house topics of your chart. By mid-April, Mars was separating from Saturn, and so moving further away from sources of delay or other struggle. Mars will break completely away from the currently-clouded waters of Pisces on April 30th when they enter Aries. This will be reflected as an increase in pacing as May unfolds.

I suspect that likewise, the pace will slowly increase, or we will slowly start to surmount challenges over the last half of April, with more action happening in May.

In this Scorpio season in particular, with Mars retrograde, problem-solving is the name of the game.

There is more than one definition for the Void of Course Moon across various astrological traditions. One of the less common versions is happening soon!

Virgo Season is upon us and so I thought I’d address the upcoming Virgo New Moon and wax poetic about the Virgo-Pisces axis

While I see the potential for glittery vibes, Leo isn’t in a vacuum. Mars, Uranus, and Saturn add a lot of tricky terrain to navigate. When it comes to making yourself heard this Leo Season, we may be better served by a more gentle approach than I usually enjoy during Leo season.

This is a great example of how Rahu speaks of increase and confusion. More isn’t always better.

The upcoming Gemini New Moon is designed for second chances and applying the knowledge we’ve gained. As Hermes is allowed to pass between both upper and underworlds freely, they can help us along to the next leg in our own journey.

This Libra Full Moon is not about caring about yourself more than others, -or- caring about others more than yourself. It's about finding a healthy balance or reciprocity between the two that works for both parties. Balancing the fire of volition with consideration of all the potential results.

The Aries New Moon has us filled with the spirit to begin, to express ourselves authentically as we forge a path ahead.

This effervescent energy is reporting to Mars, asking for guidance only to receive a solemn list of conditions and limitations.

In other words, if your things seem slow right now, take advantage because this might not last come Spring. There are some interesting technical details about the full Moon in Leo that can help us build meaning around it, but before that I’d like to discuss other places in the sky.

Saturn in Aquarius is a good time to consider doubts we have, their cause, and how we can use that doubt constructively. Recognizing it, and letting it go so we can act in order to move beyond the doubt.

Mark your calendar for about five months from now, when the next set of eclipses takes place in May. We should be able to look back to this time and see how our recent beginnings and endings have transpired. We will soon bid farewell to the nodes in Sagittarius and Gemini, moving away from our last 18 months of archetypal themes regarding faith and skepticism, expectations and explorations.
