Cosmic Weather:

“When you compare the sorrows of real-life to the pleasures of the imaginary one, you will never want to live again, only to dream forever.” Alexandre Dumas

Today has undertones of being at a Grand Masquerade Ball, in some ways, as social, romantic Venus (soon-to-be-retrograde) forms a waxing square to fantasy Neptune (11:52 pm). This more daydreamy aspect can, among other things, sometimes make it more challenging to see other people as they are partly because we seem to have more of a real need or desire now to want to place halos above nearly everybody’s head. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus and it’s associated with Divine Love or unconditional love or a boundary-less type of love that many of us may wish to sincerely experience in our hearts. This is why we can potentially be so vulnerable now: It’s like we don’t want that sacred veil to be pierced, at the moment, and then possibly face the chance of being starkly disillusioned by the underlying, harsher reality. Accordingly, any relationships, especially romantic ones, that begin under this aspect would most likely benefit from giving them a period of time to gel so we can see how they play out over the long haul. 

Because Venus also governs money, possessions, and how we derive pleasure, in general, we may also want to refrain from going overboard with things, particularly acquisitions, until we are more sure of what our true needs and desires are. Often what seems so glamorous to us, on the surface, with Venus-Neptune, proves otherwise later. On another level, Venus-Neptune energy can be extremely creative as it poises us to go deeper into the waters of our fertile imaginations. Many artists and musicians have Venus-Neptune aspects prominent in their personal charts.

Today’s Venus-Neptune square is the first of three squares, the other two will be taking place on May 20th and July 27th. Venus goes retrograde on May 13th.

Meanwhile, Waxing Luna remains ensconced in verifying Virgo all day, no doubt a good, overall counter or balance to the “I just wanna be swept off my feet” Venus-Neptune influence. Although, even the skeptical Virgo Moon is under some pressure this morning as she also forms a bewildering opposition to blurry-eyed Neptune (at 11:22 am). Fortunately, later on, however, Luna will be regaining her footing, quite a bit, when she forms flowing trines to transformational Pluto (at 7:01 pm) and big picture Jupiter (at 10:25 pm), both still conjunct in “keeping-it-real” Capricorn. Ideally, these two more hopeful aspects will provide us with a practical ability to see or plot futuristic trends, especially with respect to more large-scale issues. Moon-Pluto, in particular, can also be very healing energy and one that allows us to not only, individually and collectively, let go of the past, but also greatly learn from it, as well as being simultaneously positively reshaped by what we may have experienced. On another level, the Moon-Pluto energy can also sometimes help us to locate something that has been lost or perhaps hidden from view.

“Let the improvement of yourself keep you so busy that you have no time to criticize others.” Roy T. Bennett

With the Moon in perfecting Virgo today, we are more naturally poised toward wanting to improve ourselves or elements of our lives in some way. The Virgo Moon is always excellent for organizing, tidying up, implementing health/dietary regimes, or involvement in detail-type projects. What’s also extra special and lovely about the energy today is that Luna in Virgo is also forming three flowing trine aspects to innovative Uranus, curious Mercury, and the illuminating Sun, all of which are stationed in earthy Taurus, the zodiacal sign which governs our values, money, and sense of comfort and pleasure. So it appears that we are getting a lot of cosmic assistance now to better our world in ways that feel very freeing, stimulating, and empowering and that also adds to our sense of enjoyment and groundedness. On another level, often with a Virgo Moon, we feel more compelled to be of service to others.

“Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.” Theodore Roosevelt

The Waxing Moon remains in colorful, self-confident Leo today and is forming an opposition to self-assertive Mars around lunchtime (at 12:04 pm). This aspect can provide us with intense emotion and a fighting spirit to achieve our ends. Since Mars is also in community-minded Aquarius, we may feel more motivated to involve ourselves in teamwork and a shared cause at this time. On the shadow side, the Moon-Mars energy is sometimes associated with impulsivity or being more easily irritated so we may need to dial back our responses, a bit, if we wish to, among other things, preserve the peace. On the other hand, Moon-Mars can also be a time when we deliberately choose to clear the air, especially if we have been carrying around pent-up grievances, as this planetary alignment tends to provide us with more courage and directness to speak our truth. On another level, the Moon in Leo can also put us in touch with our personal pride, or how we conduct ourselves with dignity and respect and show the same to others.

“Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.” Jane Austen

Astrology April 30, 2020: First Quarter Square, Mercury Conjunct Uranus

“To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.” – Kurt Vonnegut

There’s a First Quarter Square between the dramatic Leo Moon and grounded Taurus Sun today (at 4:38 p,m). This may create a desire and a determination to want to venture outside the sanctity of our normal routines to experience something more glamorous or playful or creative.

Communicator Mercury is also having its annual conjunction with non-conforming Uranus in Taurus (values, money, comfort), later tonight (10:41 pm). Mercury-Uranus can sometimes feel like a bit of a horserace going on in our head as our thoughts and ideas can be galloping by us fast and furious now. Uranus, which is the higher octave of mental Mercury, generally tends to speed things up. This aspect is also associated with strokes of genius, originality, innovation, and intuition.

Since Mercury and Uranus are also aligned in financial Taurus it’s possible that we may come up with new or different ideas to make money now. Or, perhaps, it could be that we find ourselves facing situations or circumstances that challenge us now, maybe out of necessity, to simply be more creative or inventive in how we generate a revenue stream because how we operated in the past is possibly no longer a viable option.

“Much ingenuity with a little money is vastly more profitable and amusing than much money without ingenuity.” Arnold Bennett

Also tomorrow in the U.S., a coalition of many essential workers at Walmart, Amazon, FedEx, and other retailers are supposedly poised to go on strike to protest their working conditions during this COVID-19 era. Reform-minded, dissenting Uranus is often a prominent factor in strikes or protests. Speaker Mercury also gives workers a chance to voice their grievances or complaints. May 1 “Rent Strikes” are also reportedly planned in some cities across the U.S. on Friday.

Messenger Mercury formally governs the news and, for the last several days, we have also been hearing more and more about possible food shortages, particularly meat and poultry shortages or disruptions (Taurus governs the food supply). Earlier this week, for instance, with Mercury in Taurus exactly square to authoritative Saturn, President Trump signed an executive order (as part of the Defense Production Act) to keep meat plants open, citing that they are ‘critical infrastructure.’ Also yesterday, we heard a bit of positive news about breakthrough results (Mercury-Uranus) concerning a clinical study involving hospitalized COVID-19 patients who responded positively to Remdesivir, an antiviral drug experimentally used for treating the virus. The FDA is now reportedly moving at ‘lightning speed’ (Uranus!) to review data on the drug to hopefully get it officially approved and cleared for treatment for seriously ill Covid-19 patients.

“Sometimes I think I need a spare heart to feel all the things I feel.” Sanober Khan

Luna, still in her Waxing phase in protective Cancer, forms an opposition to both transformative Pluto (at 12:01 pm) and abundant Jupiter (at 3:29 pm) today. Both of these planets have been in conjunction with each other since early April.

The more intense Moon-Pluto aspect potentially allows us to sample what has perhaps been buried deep inside the caverns of our subconscious. Accordingly, this is a great time for journaling or psychotherapy as penetrating new insights may bubble up into our conscious awareness potentially having a healing or regenerative impact upon us.

On another level, this aspect can also predispose us to want to take more control of various elements in our life, including possibly desiring to purge or phase things out of it that are no longer working. In some instances, we may need to fix, repair, or salvage situations.

Meanwhile, the Moon’s opposition to philosophical Jupiter tends to make us feel more buoyant and optimistic as well as generous and altruistic. It’s excellent for teaching or learning new things. It’s also a positive time for dealing with more large-scale issues or for collaborating with foreign entities.

Luna will also shift into dramatic Leo, later tonight (9:06 pm), and form a First Quarter Square to the Sun in Taurus, tomorrow afternoon. Too, intellectual Mercury is having its annual conjunction with innovative, breakthrough Uranus, tomorrow.

“Self-consciousness kills communication.” Rick Steves

With mental Mercury squaring taskmaster Saturn today (at 1:28 pm) we may feel that it’s a bit harder to get our brilliant thoughts and ideas across to others. Part of the reason for this may be that we tend to be more highly critical or judgmental of ourselves and other people now and that resistance/unacceptance tends to impede the natural flow of things. There may also be more of a desire to want to nail down every last detail in projects as super-cautious Saturn never likes to leave anything to chance.

Generally, Mercury-Saturn aspects are excellent for any endeavors that call for focus or concentration, such as research, planning, budgeting, quality control, or editing. On the shadow side, there can be more of a tendency to worry or to let our fears predominate, which is why we may want to just concern ourselves now with living in the present moment, which is something we can always do something about. We can create in the present, but not in the future.

The Waxing Moon is also in protective Cancer making us more fixated on home, family, and security issues.

Cosmic Weather:

“Freedom lies in being bold.” Robert Frost

There’s a strong desire for “liberation” today, at least theoretically on paper, as the empowering Sun is making its annual conjunction with freedom-loving Uranus, the official planet of change, and the unexpected. This alliance is occurring in the steadfast sign of Taurus the Bull (money, possessions, and values), however, which, ironically, also tends to be more resistant or reluctant to incorporate change, even if it’s the kind that is self-initiated, as Taurus basically has a hard time letting go or parting with whatever it has tangibly accumulated.

On the plus side, though, we are, seemingly, day by day, gradually learning how to be more resilient, resourceful, and adaptable, in this new era of COVID-19, and today, it looks like we are also going to be receiving some new innovative strategies or “consciousness-raising downloads” on how to not only cope but to actually thrive in this whole new experimental (Uranian) universe. Sun-Uranus generally tends to make us more comfortable with tinkering around with things, copping new approaches, essentially summoning forth our inner Thomas Edison.

Additionally, communicator Mercury is squaring visionary Jupiter today. While this aspect can also inspire us to really reach for the stars, it can sometimes cause us to become overly confident and gloss over important details. So we might want to keep this in mind so we don’t get too far ahead of ourselves.

Cosmic Weather: 

Even though it’s the weekend, we may still want to challenge ourselves to do a bit of heavy “mental lifting” today as we have the nurturing Moon now eruditely scurrying through curious Gemini (at 3:20 am) and Gemini’s ruler, intellectual Mercury, exactly squaring off with probing, investigative Pluto (at 3:36 am). This more intense, often obsessive Mercury-Pluto energy is especially good for detecting or ferreting out secret information/covert messages, exposing hidden weaknesses, or possibly uncovering hidden motivations. On the flip side, it could also raise awareness of privacy concerns. This astrological aspect is also sometimes linked with jaw-dropping, shocking plot twists.

Communicator Mercury also governs our speech or words and paired with riveting Pluto now our words may carry more dramatic impact or have an extra bite or zing to them. We may also be much more emotionally reactive now with respect to what we see, hear, or read, especially if we perhaps find the subject matter repugnant or repulsive or taboo, to some degree, which this type of cosmic energy also often seems to elicit. More extremist viewpoints may also capture our attention, at this time, or be put before us in the spotlight in some manner. Also, on the shadow side, there can be more of a tendency towards bullying, ridiculing, or jockeying for power or position, including possibly manipulating information as an attempt to further or strengthen our own self-interests.

“Until you realize how easy it is for your mind to be manipulated, you remain the puppet of someone else’s game.” Evita Ochel

Too, Pluto is associated with purging or removing whatever is outworn or expired and aligned with mental Mercury it could be that this is an excellent time to undertake efforts to rid or eradicate our psyches of some of what we might call “garbage-type thoughts” (our debilitating fears or miscellaneous prejudices, for instance) that all too often clutter or detract from our more wondrous sense of spirit or well-being or interfere with our ability for connectedness with others. Mercury-Pluto aspects are commonly linked with seeking psychotherapy or otherwise wanting to heal or fix what’s seemingly broken inside of us or around us.

Pluto is also stationing retrograde today (at 2:54 pm) suggesting that we are now subtly shifting our focus or attention away from the more concrete manifestations of outer transformation to the invisible realm of inner transformation, including presumably beginning to more seriously process or decode now the philosophical meaning or psychological impact of what has perhaps recently been drastically altered or reconfigured in our lives. Too, it’s always the deeper meaning that we assign to things that ultimately determine their lasting impact upon us. On another level, Pluto stationing retrograde may indicate a pullback of power or support. Pluto will stay retrograde until October 4.

Cosmic Weather:

“The beginning is the most important part of the work.” – Plato

With the empowering Sun now nestled in the latter degrees of adventurous Aries, the zodiacal sign of “personal new beginnings,” there appears to be more of an urgent desire now to want to push ourselves forward with even more vigor or energy so we can quickly get done many of the projects that are still remaining on our “to-do list,” before time runs out.

Today, the Waning Moon is also in progressive, humanitarian Aquarius, all day, perhaps supplying us with a more emotionally detached or objective perspective that also allows us to consider our lives or personal interests within the confines of a much broader social context. While Luna in Uranus-ruled Aquarius often enjoys or gravitates towards involvement in outlets that advance the collective as a whole, there is also still likely a strong desire for simultaneously preserving individual freedoms or liberties at this time.

Additionally, the Aquarian Moon is an excellent period for experimentation, scientific research, and or fashioning such things as social reforms or new protocols, especially since we also have the ruler of the Aries Sun, assertive Mars, still transiting through Aquarius.

Cosmic Weather:

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” Anais Nin

The illuminating Sun squaring transformational Pluto today (at 7:07 am) potentially underscores a more intense conflict or tension between wanting or seemingly needing to play by the old, established rule book, to some degree, in which many things are pretty much already known, quantified or controlled (Pluto in Capricorn), versus the desire to want to embrace a brand new playbook that is likely comprised of many moving parts advancing along uncertain or speculative trajectories, but also one that ultimately provides for the opportunity for promising new growth and unbounded possibilities (Sun in Aries). It could be, too, with a cautious, third-quarter Capricorn Moon today that we choose a path that incorporates or straddles both of these options depending upon what it is that is staring us in the face or what it is that we are trying to accomplish. We may also want to keep in mind that Luna, in her Last Quarter phase (exact at 6:56 pm), is more a time of pondering or reflecting on how things are rather than for taking any new immediate actions, although later, we will likely be taking new steps as an outgrowth of our present-day review/contemplation.

Meanwhile, the Sun-Pluto energy also will likely alert us to what is possibly decaying or breaking down around us so that we can act accordingly to either salvage things if that is still an option or maybe choose to simply scrap everything and start over. In some cases, we may also decide to just walk away from something or, in another scenario, certain elements in our life may pass away on their own. Too, it is likely that whatever comes our way, we will probably end up with a much deeper sense of our own personal power and purpose, including an increased awareness of our own level of resiliency. Sun-Pluto often serves to move us along to the next rung on the evolutionary ladder. 

On the shadow side, Sun-Pluto energy can sometimes trigger power grabs or manipulative actions.
