This week's headline items: Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Monday afternoon; on Tuesday, it is time to take actions on our New Moon Intentions; the First Quarter Moon in Leo becomes exact on Thursday late afternoon; also on Thursday, Venus starts her station (i.e. slows down), preparing for her 6-week Retrograde phase; and finally, on Saturday, Jupiter also begins its station, slowing down as it prepares for its yearly 4-month Retrograde phase.

There will be four Moon VoC phases this weekMonday early afternoon (for 28 min.); Wednesday afternoon (for a little over 5.5 hours); Friday early afternoon (for 13.5 hours); and Sunday late evening (for a little over 4.5 hours).
Before we get to this week's forecast, I have one quick announcement:

What values need to be reassessed in your life? In your relationships? Your finances? What might a closer look reveal? What "old" assumptions, beliefs, or stories are you ready to acknowledge and release -- or redefine? How might staying curious help with that?

Now this week's Forecast:

Monday, April 27th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 1:28pm EDT. 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 :-)

Monday at 1:00pm EDT, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 28 min. until 1:28pm EDT. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others and move a project forward that is dear to you. It’s time to be direct and communicate -- what do you need to move forward faster? Who could give you that information?

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.

Monday at 1:28pm EDT, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening (April 29th). With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)

Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.

Monday at 3:53pm EDT, Mercury changes signs from enthusiastic, fast-paced Aries to steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until May 11th. For the next 2 weeks, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way and we "say it like it is". We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information.

A well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the "tasteful" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.

When it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 2 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it ("what use is it to me?") and attach it to the practical world.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus? Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you may...
