Mercury in Taurus & Libra Full Moon ~ Astrology for April 10th-16th, 2022

Sunday ~ Leo Moon time begins at 12:00 am exactly. Mercury rules the day however, making a final move in Aries, a square to Pluto, and then moving into Taurus at 10:09 pm ET. Mercury inspires the thought processes, words and plans. The square provokes inner awareness, such as hearing yourself speak or your tone of voice or announcing something without lots of forethought. Be self aware with words today, both spoken and written. Another effect could come as you want to put plans inaction and feel or perceive whatever is in the way or needs to be taken care of first. Mercury moves to Taurus tonight for a period of long term commitments. It's a positive time for marriages, engagements and other decisions and actions you want to breathe long life into. Leo Moon sails along with no major aspects today, and is also a fixed sign for loyalty and promises. Wear Yellow.

Monday~Leo Moon squares Uranus in Taurus. Should we take an unforeseen opportunity and make the commitment to someone or something? It's a good question to contemplate and notice if you feel all in or have reservations. Act accordingly. What we enter now is likely to last long and be difficult to change with the strong rooting of Mercury in Taurus and Leo longevity. Collaborations between different personalities could go very well if you're willing to listen to each other and move through creative differences. There's also some upset or reversal in the air and unusual circumstances present themselves. It's natural not to immediately know what to do and how to respond. Leo Moon opposes Saturn and aligns with the Sun. All of this feels like energy for agreements, resolutions and commitments (a word coming up often in the forecasts these two weeks in a row). Today's color is Gold.

Tuesday~Leo Moon opposes Mars in Aquarius and appears as a call for action, resistance or banding together and maybe both. Mars works and persists for the greater good while in Aquarius. Friends may come into conflict with each other as opinions or vision differ strongly. Compromise can happen though, with patience and effort. Void Moon 6:18 am to 10:07 am when roadblocks could start the day. Try something other than force and wait it out if possible. Virgo Moon brings a feel of yield at 10:07 am and aligns with Mercury newly in Taurus for finding new alternatives and approaches. Solutions may come more easily. Dig in rather than delegate. Be part of the process rather than expecting others to do the work. Jupiter and Neptune meet in Pisces for love, sensitivity, reconciliation and on a different note, could be too extravagant or over the top. Keep moderation in mind. The Sun aligns with Saturn which is so different from the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction and leads to legal, business, and community action with rules and terms in mind. New agreements are formed or put into place. Today's color is Black.

Wednesday~Virgo Moon opposite Venus in Pisces points to matters of relationship, whether to reconcile, forgive or yield, or how much to do so. Sorting out matters of love and harmony, even among family members or friends as well as in married and romantic partnerships. And we may be drawn to people we really 'feel for'. Be aware of things like codependent love or friendship. Can we give without enabling or being taken advantage of? Do you and the other party have the same intentions or reasons for wanting to be together or walking this path at this time? It's also an opposition for resolving creative differences. Uranus and the Moon are in harmony which means things happen fast and that includes new solutions to existing issues. Sudden developments lead to the next step. Today's color is Pink.

Thursday~ Virgo Moon opposite Neptune and Jupiter in Pisces. Quite a few oppositions in the zodiac are indicating sorting out, trying to find balance and to compromise or agree to disagree. Review your expectations based on what you're coming up against or who you're in talks or terms with. The planets in Pisces want softening around emotions and qualities like peace and forgiveness. Virgo Moon has the mutable nature to work with that rather than against it, as long as it feels sensible. Maintain boundaries as necessary. Move and act according to what's good for both body and soul. Todays is sensual, sensitive, and a day for creating with the hands, channeling stress into beauty. The Moon and Pluto offer an introverted or inner focus and the Moon is void of course after their trine, from 2:11 pm to 4:46 pm ET. Libra Moon follows with harmony and partnering as core components of the next two days. Full Moon is approaching.  Wear Blue.

Friday~Libra Moon, and Mars entered Pisces at 11:06 pm ET on Thursday night. Mars is not very comfortable in emotional Pisces and we may have trouble with pent up anger or energy during the next several weeks. Emotional situations may cause discomfort, stress or overreaction. But today, Libra Moon lingers with a sense of desire to make things right, fair and collaborative. Notice if judgment creeps in and try to be objective. Use good sense, pros and cons, and make things equitable. Libra is partnership, dates, duos, inner conflict, yin/yang and reconciling opposites. The Full Moon time reflects that, and the Libra Full Moon is Saturday at 2:55 pm ET.

It is eclipse season, and the solar eclipse is two weeks away. This Full Moon foreshadows the next two eclipses which occur two weeks apart on April 30th and May 14th. Today's color is Lavender.

Saturday~ Full Moon in Libra, sign of marriage and business partnership, of the harmony and beauty found in music and dance, in sound, symmetry, and compatibility. Saturn and Pluto interact with the Moon  most closely, giving this Full Moon meditative quality and speaking to serious decisions and issues that may need to be contemplated with someone else, rather than alone. Consult with someone. try to be understanding for both yourself and others, since the tone is one of importance, a crossroad, and a need to choose a direction. Uncertainty is a Full Moon stumbling block this month. Can we find the right balance between uncertainty and action and really listen to the inner voice and the signs along the way, to not be impulsive or act without consideration, but also to not get stuck in complete indecision. Some will be deciding on their path together or apart. The Moon is void from5:57 to 8:53 pm ET and then moves to Scorpio. Our solar eclipse in two weeks is in Taurus and lunar in four weeks is in Scorpio. We maybe getting clues or ideas about how the eclipses will roll through and alter situations, force action and change, and transform current situations. IMPORTANCE is a word that comes to mind for this Libra Full Moon. Today's color is White.

Weekly Astrology April 29th to May 5th, 2013

Monday: Capricorn Moon

The Capricorn Moon in harmony with Mars, Saturn and Neptune lets us know it's time to get a move on things that were put off.  Daydreaming productively is allowed since that vision can be something to act on.  Mars gives an immediacy and the urge to take steps and be goal oriented. Neptune provides the creativity and Saturn lends the structure. Take something important on today and see how constructive you can be!  Tonight is very good for studies and making serious, intentional plans of any kind and working toward them.  Mars opposes Saturn as we move into Tuesday, and it's good to be a bit extra careful in any questionable situation, place or with anyone too extreme.  Watch out for each other and use strong discretion. Wear green.

Tuesday: Capricorn Moon

The very early hours may be unsettled emotionally or newsworthy as the Moon meets Pluto and squares Uranus. It might be that there's too much going on or something disturbing or distracting comes up. Since it's the overnight in some time zones, you might wake up to news or a problem to be resolved early in the day. Pluto could also influence your subconscious in dreams.  Hopefully anything is shaken off easily as the Moon and Venus align in the earth signs. Make something more beautiful, work in the garden, build and do other hands on projects or construction. This is also constructive for problem solving in relationships. Build on solid foundations and make things even better!  It's a nice date night yet it's also a good time to get work done. You choose! It's Mercury's last night in Aries so go forward with a plan you started on recently. Wear gray.

Wednesday: Aquarius Moon, Mercury in Taurus, Sun trine Pluto

The Moon is in Aquarius as of 10:20 am EST and the Sun is in harmony with Pluto today. This all looks quite optimistic and innovative. Even the Capricorn Moon earlier is good for productivity and organizing. We are however in the shadow of a Mars/Saturn opposition that can be quite difficult.  Stay out of any place that feels dangerous or volatile, just in case.  People act out their frustrations at times like this.  Stuck situations become more emotionally charged.  There's both resistance and persistence at work. It can be better to step away from something where there seems to be no answer or action, at least for a couple of days.  Hopefully, the Aquarius Moon takes over with friendly, social, forward thinking to temper that struggle of an opposition.  Mars/Saturn happens in Taurus/Scorpio, the same signs most directly impacted by last week's eclipse.  Mercury moves to Taurus where we put ideas into action and bring them to real, tangible form. Start building something or working on it so you can show and see the results.  Have vision and act on goals today.  Wear turquoise.

Thursday: 4th Quarter Moon in Aquarius

The 4th quarter Moon in Aquarius is good for sticking to an action plan. With the Moon waning it's natural to consider something or someone that needs to be cut from the plan or let go of, but the Aquarius Moon is inventive and can fill a gap and helps with thinking and problem solving.  The Moon squares the Sun and Mars in Taurus urging constructive methods again today.  There's no stalling or waiting recommended> be with the program or you could get left behind. Aquarius is collaborative and forward thinking. Let go of resistance to progress if you can.  The Moon and Jupiter align for a social night and also a good night for learning. Today's color is silver.

Friday: Aquarius Moon

The Moon is in Aquarius. There's an original and inventive element to work done today. Collaborate with someone you'd never have expected to be a compatible thinker and you could be surprised!  Aquarius has a rebellious streak and we may know we can do a better, more original version than anyone else. Go with that feeling and create a new method or product.  Mercury and Jupiter are helping in that department too. We're enlightened with ideas and open to alternatives as they work in Aries and Gemini. Today's color is blue.

Saturday: Pisces Moon

The meditative nature of Pisces Moon makes this a good day to settle the mind, relax, and take it easy on yourself and others. It's a great day for yoga or working in the garden or a walk on the beach. Find your zen place.  Time with friends is good to balance the sometimes solitary feel of Pisces Moon time. Take some time for privacy, creative process or plain old quiet, but it's best not to isolate yourself during emotional Pisces Moon times. Balance the inner world and get together with close, trusted friends too.  Today's color is green.

Sunday: Mercury opposite Saturn

Topics of controversy or disagreement peak today with Mercury opposite Saturn in Taurus and Scorpio, willful fixed signs. Issues of control, deep secrets or ingrained attitudes contribute to any oppositions we experience or situations that need mediation. An impartial third party could be a good buffer.  Mars and Pluto align in Taurus and Capricorn for practical actions that need to be taken.  The Moon moves from Pisces and a void of course time from 12:00 to 9:03 pm EST to Aries for the rest of the evening.  Venus and the Moon contribute to good feelings between friends and lovers.  Today's color is yellow.
