New Moon Week

This week in astrology.

Mars went direct on April 14 this is great news as mars retrograde has been creating a lot of passive aggressive energy, we want to move forward but can’t, we want to say something but say it in a round about way.  So now we can start to be a little more upfront and open about what we need, want or think.  Pluto is also prominent this week because it goes retrograde, this sets up a Mars Pluto energy for a few days, since these planets are making a nice contact with each other in earth signs it’s a great time to get a hard job done, its also a great time to apply for a job, start a new diet or excise program or do a big spring cleaning.  The down side to these planets working together is they bring out the worst in each other and can create suspicions or a revealing of secrets that ends up causing a good amount of trouble so be careful of whom you tell what and be careful of what you believe when its told to you. 

Mid week the Moon and mercury enter Aries and immediately have contact with the planet Uranus, this is a brilliant energy but its also a little bit out of control and can create anxiety especially if you are a cardinal sign, Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn.  It can create sleeping difficulties because the mind just does not want to turn off, and can interfere with your ability to stay on track or meditate.  My advice is to keep your environment as calm as you can and avoid all over stimulations including loud music.

We have a New Moon in Taurus on April 21 at 3:19 AM EST, what a great energy for financial planning especially since this Moon creates a grand trine, great energy, with Pluto and Mars. The earth and water signs can benefit the most from this energy, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces. This is a time to come up with a financial plan, its also a good time to make a purchase of that special something you have wanted to treat yourself with. The Taurus energy provides you with the potential of long term gain, so the purchase of something like a home at this point in time is a very good idea, or fixing up your home to make it more valuable.  Anything you do now will only grow and gain value over the year.
