Monday, April 22nd:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day, where it will journey until Tuesday evening. We're strongly motivated to explore and learn. We're not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we're also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.

We tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we'd rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.

As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren't overdoing or overstating things.

Monday afternoon, we are asked to balance our need to venture beyond our day-to-day mind with our desire for mentally stimulating projects.

Monday evening, a Sun/Uranus alignment in 2.5 degrees of Taurus becomes exact at 7:07pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from this April 20th on; it will be strong until April 25th. This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize and collaborate with others.

We are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.

As I mentioned in my last Full Moon video that I posted two weeks ago, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in Taurus aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from honoring ourselves. It's time to develop some  and awareness: What's mine? What isn't? What if it were ok to have a different outlook from others? What about different values?

One thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-6 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, or 29 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aquarius (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)

Also, Monday evening, we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and...
