Monday, April 4th:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 11:04pm EDT. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and "rushing things" goes against our grain.
What is our favorite thing for the rest of the day? It's probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)
Monday late evening, a Mars/Saturn alignment in 22.5 degrees of Aquarius becomes exact at 9:51pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Thursday (March 31st) on, and it will remain strong until this Friday night. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our future visions.
The last Mars/Saturn cycle started in March 31st, 2020 (in 0 degrees of Aquarius), it is now coming to an end -- and this new cycle will last until April 2024.
We need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to have a solid vision before zooming ahead.
Given that this alignment is taking place in Aquarius, we are invited to take a closer look at our communities or affiliations (locally and online), at our long-term visions for humanity or like-minded people, and at the practical implications of our actions taken in connection with those causes or networks. We must recognize that an undivided focus on such things can help us achieve our visions just as much as our talents and ambition.
This is also a great time to commit to a new project connected to social responsibilities, or network building; it could also be connected to a special cause or community project (in person or online).
Ask yourself: What would a stable foundation for my various projects look like? What is something truly responsible, small or large, that I could do for my communities or social networks?
Those of us who have their Ascendant (or personal planets) in 19-26 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio will be most affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Capricorn (Mars rules Aries; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).
Monday late evening, at 9:53pm EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC for a little over 1 hour, until 11:04pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments - on the one hand, we need to experience peace and physical pleasure; on the other, we want to connect with like-minded people around our future visions. You could frame this as "Massage? Or Astrology Gathering?" :-)
However this shows up for us, we may need to make some adjustments or find creative solutions between two needs that are seemingly at odds.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don't start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late evening ahead of time. (Moon in Taurus squares Venus in Aquarius)
Monday late evening, 11:04pm EDT the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible.
"Busy" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)
