  • The headlines are full of astrological symbolism. Retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio and Neptune in Aquarius formed a square back in January that lasted through March, which has been further supported by a parallel. The parallel is back in orb and is seen as an influence in headlines such as the massive (Jupiter in Scorpio) demonstrations (Aquarius) from coast to coast (Jupiter) in protest (Aquarius) of a new law that would turn long-term immigrants (Jupiter) into felons (ruled by Neptune). More expansion (Jupiter) of Neptune's themes are seen in the sudden rise of already high fuel costs, plus leaked secrets remaining in the news. One of the more absurd leaks last week revealed the itinerary for the President's plane, Air Force One. Prompted by a student (Jupiter), Mr. Bush admitted he declassified CIA agent Valerie Plame-Wilson's identity. Plenty of inside information has been leaked by in-laws of the rich and famous. The astrological indicators for secrets are best held by the element of water: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. All three signs have a relationship with things buried, hidden, or suppressed but it is the sign of Pisces and its ruler Neptune that harbor secrets and clandestine matters. Since April 13, 2006 five planets are found in water signs. Mars is in Cancer, Jupiter in Scorpio and three planets are in Pisces; Venus, the planet of love and money, entered Pisces on April 5, 2006 and will soon join erratic and spontaneous Uranus, first by a parallel on Monday, April 17, 2006, followed by a conjunction on Tuesday, APril 18, 2006. This combo is tricky and can bring a stroke of luck with love and money - but also expect the unexpected that may take a turn of emotions in a different direction. Some could get lucky while others may loose.

    The best advice is to hang onto your purse and your heart. Uranus first entered Pisces March of 2003 (just prior to the Iraq war). Mercury, on Saturday April 15, 2006, at the last degree of Pisces, leaves that sign tomorrow, Sunday, April 16. When Mercury is at the last degree of a sign it can cause major problems with traffic pileups in all avenues, trains have been derailed and information and its sources have been bizarre. Computer and biological viruses may run rampant. The Moon is in Scorpio when Mercury makes its change to Aries, activating retrograde Jupiter again with its parallel to Neptune. Expect more exposure of the mysterious and cloaked Neptune, who rules illusion and things hidden. More from Jupiter and Neptune can be expected over the next month for they re-entered this parallel on April 5th and remains in effect through May 9th giving plenty of time to open a few cans of worms. This parallel is exact on April 24.

    The health news is linked to Uranus in Pisces bringing a sudden increase of the old disease, mumps, back in the news. Inoculations for mumps, now thought to be ineffective, were introduced to pre-school children in December, 1967. The mumps are infecting people at twenty times the average rate, passing on the disease through airline travel (Neptune in Aquarius). Not a deadly disease among children, but it can be for those over age 19. A combo of Uranus in Pisces and Neptune, ruler of Pisces, can be linked with the blindness caused by a bacteria found in a popular contact lens product.

    Emotions (Cancer) are fired up with red-hot Mars which has been out-of-bounds in declination since March 6 through May 18, 2006. This past week Mars entered Cancer where it is poorly placed and performs in a passive-aggressive manner. Doors once open will close allowing only insiders to participate with families, homeland and security becoming the prime concern. On a good note home improvements and real estate should wake up a bit with Mars in the sign of the home. Mars will transit through Cancer until June 3, 2006 when it enters Leo.

  • Moon Signs & Daily Summaries
    A Day Rating may not describe the feeling or your experience of that day but give details about the end result of your actions taken under that Moon sign period. A Moon sign period begins when the Moon enters a new sign and remains in effect until it leaves that sign. A Difficult Day can bring unwanted complications for the end result of your objectives. By choosing a Good Day and before the void of course Moon period, you increase you chances for a smoother and more favorable outcome. The day is rated by the last aspect from the Moon to a planet before it leaves the sign. That last aspect begins the void of course Moon period. Your activities are considered to be under the umbrella of the Moon sign that changes every couple of days. Days with the same Moon sign often carry the same day rating for the couple days the Moon occupies that sign.

    There some very important exceptions:
  • When a planet changes signs, the day rating can change.
  • When a planet changes direction, the day rating can change.

  •  
    These instances are referred to as a refranation, indicating that you are to expect someone to leave before you complete your objectives or the situation totally changes due to new and unseen developments or reversals.

    General Notes On Scorpio MoonsScorpio
    A Tricky Day with both some difficulties and advantages. Scorpio Moon. Mercury changes signs while the Moon is in Scorpio, bringing light to missing data that falls out of reach, unfulfilled expectations, dropped plans or important changes to agendas. The Scorpio Moon places attention on deeper life and death issues and financial holdings and affects the outcome of your actions if your plans include dealings with lenders, joint financial ventures, pregnancy, insurance losses or settlements or notices of death and related estates. Travel plans are very tricky on a day when Mercury is the object of our attention. If your plans require a rigid scheme you will want to make arrangements on another day. Any attempts to secure plans or appointments may require revisions until Mercury enters Aries Sunday at 8:19 a.m. It's best to keep an open agenda with plan B and C. Mercury at the last degree of Pisces today may reveal more secrets as the attempt to make a statement before leaving the sign makes this day special for discovering missing information, connecting with a mentor or arranging your agenda based on letting go of the old.

    General Notes On Sagittarius MoonsSagittarius
    A Good Time after 10:18 a.m. The Scorpio Moon is void of course at 8:20 a.m. until it enters Sagittarius at 10:18 a.m. Mercury enters Aries at 8:19 a.m. All of yesterday's info applies through 8:20 a.m. At that point a Good Day rating begins - after the Moon enters Sagittarius; there is shift to future matters that include foreign people or places. Gate keepers are in obvious positions but the Sun is trine (120°) Pluto at 3:34 p.m, allowing for cooperation. Mars,a masculine and noisy planet and Ceres, a feminine nurturing energy heat up serious matters with a semi-square (45°) at 5:36 p.m. Good for cooking a big meal. A little too much fire in the belly could occur with that aspect. Matters with children or those ailing are a concern today.

    General Notes On Sagittarius MoonsSagittarius
    A Good Day that is optimistic, lucky and impulsive. Information may be difficult to swallow or complications may happen with travel plans, both of which will pass after Mercury's 135° aspect to Jupiter at 4:42 a.m. Then, the Moon in Sagittarius brings positive endings to matters initiated today and a good part of tomorrow because the last aspect is a 120° trine to the Aries Sun with an extra bonus of dazzling surprises and spontaneous support from a parallel of Venus and Uranus that remains an influence through tomorrow's conjunction of the pair. Sparks of love and a lucky streak accompany this aspect. A few birthdays may reap benefits of this lucky combo: Strongly supported for birthdays ranging from February 28-March 5 and October 9-16. Also look for some benefits and a few surprises for April 5-12 and September 1-7. Any feedback here would be greatly appreciated.

    General Notes On Capricorn MoonsCapricorn
    A Tricky Day. Moon in Capricorn chases a square to the Sun who represents the boss and is left holding the bag of important business today.\Avoid any business dealings today if you can. You are more likely to be successful tomorrow when you gain temporary support for a one-time project.

    General Notes On Aquarius MoonsAquarius
    A Good Day. The Moon is void of course from 8:03 p.m. until 9:56 p.m. The Capricorn Moon will form a contra parallel to Mars making this a good time to join forces with another for a one-time shot to turn things around - especially business decisions. The Aquarius Moon begins at 9:56 p.m. followed by the Last Quarter Moon at 0° 53' Aquarius.

    eneral Notes On Aquarius MoonsAquarius
    An Okay Day. The Aquarius Moon will last aspect parallel Neptune. Matters may end okay but this is not my favorite day this week. There are too many hidden or unseen factors. Matters from the past need to be reviewed for rulings and authoritative or public support. At 5:56 p.m. Mars and Neptune at 135° bring some wet weather and confusing conditions that could lead to misguided actions with long-term consequences that are further complicated by a 30° aspect between Mars and Saturn at 8:22 p.m. You can bank on the structure you gain by making a commitment to your projects. These aspects influence this entire day. If you align with those in the enemy court you may work through these issues. A prayer vigil is the best advice to put matters in the right.
