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 February 6th-12th: Full Moon in Leo, Venus in Aries

Monday: Full Moon in Leo

The Moon is void of course from 7:31 am to 8:24 am and though it's a short one, the Eastern timing hits the morning commute. We tend to be forgetful or confused, so make sure you know where you need to be and what you need to get the job done if you have an early start!  The Leo Moon is nearly Full and we need to get structure around plans and ideas. Work creatively to make things happen on time this week. Leo Moon time is full of enthusiasm and acting quickly is in the forecast early this week.  Jupiter and Saturn square the Moon today, encouraging an optimistic but controlled approach.  Get advice and look at pros and cons before diving in head first! Aries and Sagittarius should be energized by this Leo Moon. Taurus, get legal and financial input before acting on any situation that requires it.  Scorpio, this Full Moon relates to your image and career.  Present at your best! Wear purple.

Tuesday: Full Moon in Leo

The Moon is Full in Leo at 4:54 pm EST.  This morning The Sun and Mercury meet in logical, technical master of the zodiac, Aquarius.  It's a big day of decisions that have long term impact.  Take everything into consideration and move forward with strong sensibilities and with future plans in mind.  Technology and improvements are in the spotlight. The Leo Moon amps things up with vibrance and glamour.  It's not the time to think small or conservative. Mercury in Aquarius is a major player during this Leo Moon, having a boomerang effect at Full Moon time, creating big news, reasons to act, and tie together loose ends. The more amazing the better during Leo Moon. We want to be wowed. Paint a bright picture and rally people around to make it happen.  Cancer is likely to meet a deadline and be working hard. Scorpio is favored for the spotlight along with Leo. Libra and Aries will enjoy friends and events.  Gemini, this Full Moon is a bringer of news in your circle, be it business or family. Tonight is Venus's last night in Pisces. Use this if you need to reconcile or make up. Wear gold.

Wednesday: Venus in Aries

Venus moves to Aries at 1:01 am just after the Full Moon.  Venus in Aries favors new love and fresh starts.  It's exciting and can feel like spring fever!  Sagittarius and Aries are favored in love with Leo and Libra getting a boost too!  The Full Moon's effect is still in action today with news and conclusions and due dates giving us reason to work hard and stay on top of things. The Moon moves to Virgo at 12:32 pm after less than an hour void of course. The change of Moon sign may make us feel more serious and more analytical.  Keep some flexibility in your time if possible.  Tonight the Moon works with Jupiter in Taurus and we're encouraged by positive attitudes and willingness to learn.  With the action in earth signs, physical work or workouts help us feel like we're on track.  It's also a night to help out or be on the receiving end of favors.  Virgo is the sign of service to others.  Wear navy blue.

Thursday: Venus and Uranus in Aries

Venus meets Uranus in Aries! This can be wildly eventful for relationships and creative endeavors particularly.  Libra turns of events in your long term relationship and other surprises connected to love or other partnerships in the forecast this week. Aries, one of those big "aha" moments hits within days on either side of this.  You could make dramatic changes as a result once this new information really sinks in.  Sagittarius, something unexpected that intitially takes your breath away makes you rethink everything and has the capacity to be very fortunate once you adjust!  For all of this an awakening is due, and for many it will relate most to relationship and love.  You might even suddenly believe that love at first meeting is possible.  The Moon is in Virgo in a practical trine to Pluto exerts a contrasting influence and helps keep us grounded and dealing with the day to day tasks even if some of today's news is stunning one way or another.  The Moon reaches Mars in Virgo after midnight (EST) further activating both the Aries influence and the earth sign activity, making us feel like we must do something about problems and positives both! It's an action oriented evening as we aim to make the most of new situations and connections.  Wear red.

Friday: Long Void of Course Moon

From 12:11 am to 2:54 pm EST there's a long void of course Moon in Virgo.  Expect plans to change and, if possible, remain very flexible with options, decisions and schedules.  It's a day of adjustments.  The Moon, Mars and Uranus are the major influences at work, much like yesterday, and we're dealing with surprises and unanticipated news and events. With activity in Aries, we want to blaze new trails and forge into different territory.  Do that slowly and with  care today during void of course Moon time which is more fertile for forgetfulness or missteps.  At 2:54 the Moon moves to Libra and is opposite both Venus and Uranus activating relationship events yet again!  Conditions are right for changes of status including married to single and vice versa.  New love is in the air too, especially for Sagittarius and Aries. Tonight is for social butterflies. It's a great date night as long as you're not already in disagreement in which case it will be hard to find compromise.  Wear pink.

Saturday: Libra Moon

The Moon squares Pluto so be sure to act in fairness and avoid being too judgmental.  This is a very good day for social plans. Libra Moon time favors us meeting new people, networking, connecting with friends, and dating.  Three may be a crowd since Libra is about couples, duos, and best friends. Collaborate and enjoy work more too!  Two heads are better than one is a phrase that makes sense today.  Listen to another perspective or a friend's story or advice.  Above all don't isolate yourself while the Moon moves through a sign that helps us meet, negotiate, and connect.  It's another good date night and one on one rules over going out in larger groups. Wear light blue.

Sunday: Moon meets Saturn

The Moon works well with  the Sun, Neptune and Mercury. Socials plans thrive! A party or event is well timed. Make a favorable impression by being conscious of appearance and manners.  We can even handle those superficial but necessary encounters with aspects like these!  Before the Moon moves to Scorpio, there's a conjunction with wise and serious Saturn.  Justice is the theme and we may be discussion how to divide things or responsibilities and fulfilling obligations we've made. Honor commitments and your elders for best results.  It's Mercury's last day in logical, strong willed Aquarius.  A solid decision may be better timed today than tomorrow. Tonight creative and organizational pursuits are favored under Scorpio Moon. It's also a good movie night.  Wear maroon.

Monday

The Moon is in Taurus, a sign grounded in reality and security.  Taking tangible steps to increase prosperity, to be more healthy and to be more knowledgeable is forecast as Jupiter and the Moon  meet.  There are other aspects that can both help and detract from those things, but staying persistent and goal oriented is the best way to expend energy today.  Glitches in planning or situations that run out to be less than honest or not as good as expected may appear. Taurus Moon helps us stay grounded in what we need to do regardless.  Tonight the Moon and Pluto work together and we may uncover or disclose information that was previously not public or obvious.  The Moon and Sun square and that manifests as stubbornness. The fixed sign energy can be productive if you need to stay your course and not give in.  Wear green.

Tuesday

The Moon is in Taurus in harmony with Venus in Pisces and Mars in Virgo. Working on relationships is the primary focus today.  We'll be inclined to look for the best possible solutions for everyone involved.  It's a good day to find agreement where things have been out of sync. In love, things only improve, and reconciliations are well timed.  Taurus Moon time can be very romantic and Venus and Mars enhance that for today or tonight.  In business, keep feelings and relationships in mind.  Taurus Moon is a time to keep long term implications in mind as we act.  Wear pink.

Wednesday

The Moon moves from Taurus to Gemini at 2:14 pm. The Moon square to Neptune has us working through creative processes and perhaps trying different approaches before we get the result we want.  Neptune can also affect the way things appear and today dualities may be evident.  Look at both sides with the Moon in Gemini this afternoon and tonight.  Remain indecisive if you feel uncertain. Trust your instincts about people and things that have a shiny gloss or seem to give very different or conflicting messages.  Tonight Venus in Pisces opposes Mars in Virgo, and though opposites may attract, some of us will find ourselves on different sides and unable to agree. Go for temporary agreements or truces.  Wear blue.

Thursday

The Gemini Moon has us considering two sides of the story, two equally appealing options, and quite possibly a multitude of ideas.  The Moon works with Gemini's planet, Mercury, in Aquarius, and innovative, forward thinking options should be priorities.  Communication is the key, so read, respond, and keep in contact with changeable situations and social or business contacts. The Moon and Sun boost confidence and may make us more decisive tonight. It's a good night for business, socializing or studies. Tap into intelligence and sharp wit. Make things happen today by reaching out. Wear yellow.

Friday

The Moon is in Gemini square to Mars in Virgo and Venus in Pisces. Though we need to be adaptable and easygoing, it may not be so easy! Squares represent challenges and in the mtuable signs the Moon and planets can be changeable to the point of frustration! Try not to flip flop on decisions. Pick something and stick with it! In relationships we're prone to debate and disagreement, especially Gemini, Virgo, Pisces and Sagittarius. For those same signs, negotiation is needed around home, family and potential career changes.  The Moon and Saturn provide structure tonight. Decide what works and what's fair.  It's a social night but have a game plan ahead of time.  Wear black.

Saturday

The Full Moon warmup begins for Tuesday when the Moon will be in Leo.  The Cancer Moon engages with Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn for a variety of influences and pulls.  Cancer Moon reacts to circumstances and is vulnerable to mood shifts.  Today is likely to be up and down.  The pull to home and comfortable situations is strong.  We'll want to stay in our element.  The Moon opposing Pluto often brings up things we'd rather not deal with, yet Jupiter in Taurus aims for a productive solution oriented approach.  Do something about problems rather than complaining! A certain amount of grumbling is to be expected today.  Selfishness will cause aggravation.  Wear light blue.

Sunday

The Moon is in Cancer! Who's the home team on game day? Home and family events are priority. Surround yourself with the ones you care about most.  Energy can be sluggish or emotional under Cancer Moon especially with the Full Moon approaching. Take care of those little symptoms that could become something bigger without the right remedies. That includes rest, and some is in order today. Whatever you're doing, take breaks and take good care of yourself.  The Moon is in harmony with physical Mars in Virgo this evening. Versatile thinking and strategizing are the way to go.  Channel strong feelings into productive efforts and tasks.  Accomplish instead of moping.  Full Moon pressures are in action. Wear white.
