Weekly April 12

Monday
The Moon and Uranus meet in Pisces setting the tone for an unpredictable and changeable day.  Add to that the Moon opposite Saturn retrograde in Pisces and Virgo. Knowing how to approach the day may cause confusion.  In fact the next couple of days are meant for reconsidering things and choosing new courses of action as we get ready for Wednesday's New Moon in Aries.  Aries, you may be especially anxious to get new plans in place or change things up for the better.  After a short void off course Moon, the shift to Aries happens 9:31 am.  Pluto in Capricorn curbs some of the potential impulsiveness.  Try not to take things personally. Tempers may be a bit short and some people will be into criticizing what they deem not quite right or not quite good enough.  Selfishness could be an issues. Capricorn may be out of sorts with family members or housemates.  Aries, channel your energy into ambition and career potential.  Pisces and Virgo shift into smart financial mode today and concentrate on making some money or getting money due to you.  Tonight, energy and motivation should come pretty easily so don't waste it!  It's also a good night for fun and games!  Sagittarius, Leo and Aries, it's your night more than anyone else's regardless of what you have to or want to do!  Wear red.

Tuesday
The Aries Moon shines free and clear today, and we'll have a New Moon in Aries tomorrow morning. It's a good day for clearing things out and freeing things up.  Get ready to embrace the new!  Out with the old can mean spring cleaning literally or creating space in your head by clearing up confusion and getting things out in the open.  Aries is bold, assertive and a trail blazer.  It's also a day for considering new options and getting ready to take action tomorrow.  Make decisions. We'll tend to lean toward our own best interests with the Aries Moon and sometimes that involves selfishness.  On the other hand it can just be independence, free of any entanglements. Whatever you need to do today, include opening doors, getting rid of clutter,  and weeding out. Make space in the garden for new growth or leave one thing so you can explore another.  Mercury retrograde starts on the 18th and you may start to notice the effects now, so take it easy and keep things flexible. Today's color is orange.

Wednesday
The New Moon in Aries is a blast of fresh energy beginning at 8:29 am. It's a great day to try something new, start new work, make a change that benefits you or take the lead with a new initiative.  The Moon is in harmony with Neptune helping with a forward thinking attitude and vision for the future.  Libra, this relates to your close relationships. Aquarius, this New Moon brings news-or you may be breaking some news to others.  You might also have the urge for a new car, bike, cell phone or other vehicle for getting there or keeping in touch.  Leo, the urge to get out of town for a while and experience new things is strong for the next couple of weeks!  Cancer, act on career plans and take a leader ship role.  Gemini, the New Moon is about your hopes and your friendships.  The Moon is void of course from 3:23 to 6:55 pm, then in Taurus helping us make solid long term decisions tonight.  Today's color is yellow.

Thursday
The Moon is in Taurus, and on the heels of yesterday's New Moon, making well thought out changes is in the forecast this week.  Taurus is a sign of long term commitments, and today's Moon is in harmony with Pluto and meets Mercury urging us to face real circumstances, do things that are practical and beneifical, make solid plans and sign on the dotted line. It's a good day to start new business, close on a new house or sign a lease.  It's also a good day for gardeners, farmers, and other people who work the earth or sea for what they provide to us.  Getting outside and connecting with nature is favored.  Taurus is a good Moon sign for taking ideas and making them real and tangible.  The Moon does square Mars in Leo so there may be a certain amount of debate over how to do things or who's in charge. Tonight is solid all the way around.  Wear blue.

Friday
The Moon meets Venus in Taurus for a focus on love, beauty and pleasure!  Venus in Taurus is all about pleasing the senses.  It's a good day to improve your appearance, shop, cook or eat good food, plan a romantic or fun date, and just enjoy life.  The Moon is in harmony with both Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces, and it's a very good Taurus and Pisces day.  If you're doing business, today can be prosperous and rewarding.  Aries and Aquarius may notice this most, but Leo this can be a very good career day and recognition is due for your talents or hard work!  Scorpio, all in all today should feel good and your relationships are favored.  The Moon does square Neptune tonight so don't be lured into questionable situations and trust with discretion. Otherwise it's a great day in the zodiac! Wear green.

Saturday
This is the last day before Mercury retrogrades in Taurus for a few weeks.  Get things in order, have plan b and c ready, and make back ups and copies of anything important!  Taurus is a tough place for Mercury to retrograde since it's a changeable time and Taurus is a fixed sign that resists ambiguity and uncertainty.  Today the Moon is in Gemini working well with Mars in Leo. Performers and show-offs are in their element!  Show versatility in your way of thinking and acting.  Tonight Venus and Jupiter align in Taurus and Pisces and dates and friendly gatherings are well timed.  Wear light blue.

Sunday
The Moon is in Gemini, and Gemini's planetary ruler Mercury starts a retrograde in Taurus.  Taurus is a fixed sign but flexibility is necessary now!  It's time to reconsider even decisions you thought were well planned and thought out.  This retrograde also affects Taurus ruled things, like security, dependability, and the health of the throat and neck.  Mercury retrograde may shake our confidence and determination and cause a change of course this season.  Whatever you do, consider things to be in flux and impermanent.  Start things on a trial basis and avoid the words promise, forever, and for sure.  Today the Aries Sun aligns with Neptune adding to Gemini's social energy.  It's a people person's day and everything else should be taken lightly and kept super simple.  Wear yellow.
