Podcast appearances and mentions of aries april

We begin by discussing all the ASTRO NEWS YOU CAN USE from this past week, how it's played out, & what's on the horizon as we make our way through this month's lunar cycle which began with the Taurus New Moon square to the Mars/Pluto opposition on April 27.Since Venus's entrance into Aries April 30 (until June 6), we've seen some “let them eat cake” resistance to consumer prices heating up due to pending tariff wars begun by the U.S. Government. And the Venus/Neptune conjunction in Aries May 2 illustrated a likewise laissez faire attitude toward the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment by President Donald Trump who, when asked on Meet The Press if he agreed “that citizens and noncitizens in the United States were entitled to due process,” was less than comforting.“I don't know,” Mr. Trump replied. “I'm not, I'm not a lawyer. I don't know.” This as we waxed toward the first quarter monthly lunar “crisis in action” square of the Leo Moon to the Taurus Sun May 4, illustrating the vague nonchalance yet recalcitrance of a stubborn leader (Taurus Sun) to take responsibility for the due process rights of individuals (Leo Moon) under U.S. law. Keep in mind that our short-term monthly mission since April 27's Taurus New Moon has been to plant seeds that reflect our more present-day values--as opposed to old, outdated, no longer applicable ones, like say, that trickle-down economics is the way to go, lol. Or, that corporate & billionaire money & power are more important than individual peoples' health & well-being. You know, stuff like that… However, the major point of this month's lunation is that once we discover (or rediscover) our soul's true, lasting values, we may have to fight for them, as per the Mars opposite Pluto signature at the Taurus New Moon.Meanwhile Pluto's station retrograde on May 4 (until October 14) provides us all the perfect opportunity to dig deeply into our psyches to better discover our soul's true, lasting values. In doing so, we discover our shadow sides and bring them out into the light to be forever vanquished. The end result is that of greater personal empowerment, yeah!We look too at the upcoming entrance of Mercury into Taurus on May 10, & the already anticipated slowdown of both travel & trade. Ports on the West Coast are already reporting fewer ships docking there from places like China, a redux of the pandemic era's import shortages from only a few short years ago. Likewise, tourism to America and spending on travel within America, is down and forecast to stay that way for the foreseeable future.As we wax toward the May 12 Scorpio Full Moon which conjoins Juno, the archetypal symbol of partnership, & opposes the Taurus Sun, Uranus, & goddess of health Hygeia, we've already seen a few surprising firsts. On April 8—after a surprisingly quick conclave in Rome that lasted less than two full days—the first American-born Pope was chosen to lead the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. In addition to being the first American to become pope, Pope Leo XIV is also the first member of the Augustinian Order, a Catholic religious order founded in 1244. He attended St. Augustine Seminary near Holland, Michigan, and spent much of his career as a missionary in Peru.“Peace be with you,” Pope Leo XIV greeted his new followers, & we await to see if this is, indeed, going to be true, as he will be tasked with confronting difficult decisions about the church's direction, including the issue of greater inclusion.In addition, the inclusion of Hygeia in this lunar equation, partnered with Uranus in the sign of the physical body (read: Taurus) may signal a rapid change in the world's health situation. Think of the starving children in Gaza (& other places deprived of food & medical care due to war and the now defunct services from USAID), & how U.S. farmers' crops rot in silos due to increased tariffs on importing nations. Then there's the fact that Mercury square Pluto at this lunation brings a measure of obsessiveness to the U.S. House of Representatives' struggle still to come up with a governmental budget reconciliation bill by Memorial Day that doesn't throw 77 million people off of Medicaid—especially in GOP districts. And that's just so corporate billionaires can reduce their taxes under a proposed extension of President Trump's 2017 corporate tax reduction due to expire by end 2025. And that's not even mentioning financial cuts already made to Veteran's benefits & potential cuts to Medicare, Social Security, etc., & the loss of medical benefits of laid off or fired federal workers under unelected billionaire Elon Musk's DOGE. We discuss the sticking point of state & local tax caps (read: reducing family's tax deductions) bandied about in the House now, too…There's also the implications of transiting Jupiter in Gemini's pending mutable square to the transiting Virgo South Node & Pisces North Node as all things Jupiter-related have made their way into the news recently. Law, higher education, foreign travel (read: immigration), media, & religion—of which the new first time American Pope's election is but one subject under Jupiter's domain—are all prominent now, especially between May 15-28 as both the Mean & True Nodes are squared exact by Jupiter during this period. Keep in mind, too, that more surprises are ahead--not only at the Scorpio Full Moon opposite the Sun & Uranus in Taurus May 12—but between now and the Sun's exact conjunction to Uranus on May 17.

LISTEN HERE https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking TO THIS WEEK'S ASTRO NEWS YOU CAN USE PODCAST WITH SHERI HORN HASAN! This podcast, which drops May 2, discusses the intensity of this Taurus New Moon waxing cycle, as well as what's happening since Venus entered Mars-ruled Aries April 30. With Venus in the sign of the warrior until June 6 & Pluto in Aquarius seemingly fuh-evah, is it time to fight for the values we hold dearest?  First we recount the multitude of events leading up to the April 26 Mars/Pluto exact opposition, & since the Taurus New Moon squared the Mars/Pluto opposition on April 27. And how these fit the Mars resistance against attempts by those who seek power over others, & the current themes of both empowerment & disempowerment.We note how, with President Donald Trump's popularity sinking in the polls, how his & his government's disempowering actions against immigrants, federal workers, universities, etc. (read: Pluto), have driven people out onto the streets in protest all across the U.S. (read: Mars.)We look also at some of the other horrific events as we waxed toward the April 26 exact Mars/Pluto opposition & the April 27 Taurus New Moon which carries the energy of these aspect. You know, stuff like the April 22 massacre of 26 people, most of them tourists, in the disputed region of Kashmir which has brought two nuclear powers—India & Pakistan—to the brink of war. Then there's the Iranian port explosion & fire from April 26 that killed at least 70 people and injured over 1,200 others, according to Iranian state media reports. Of course, April 26 was also the day Pope Francis was laid to rest, an event at which U.S. & Ukrainian presidents Donald Trump & Volodymyr Zelensky sat down together to confirm a minerals deal. That meeting seems to have resolved the tension between the two which began during their last, extremely contentious, Oval Office meeting in Washington February 28.Also, we take a deeper dive into the chart of Virginia Giuffre, the sex trafficked victim of Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell, & what was triggered in her natal chart that led to her death by suicide on April 25. Hint: This involves the triggering by transit of her natal Mars/Pluto square, so tune in for more!We take a deep dive as well into the far-reaching meaning of this Taurus New Moon's waxing square of the Leo Moon to the Taurus Sun May 4 and how it asks us all to stand our ground. Combined with Pluto's station retrograde in Aquarius May 4, we can grasp the deeper meaning of getting in touch with our deepest reservoirs of self-empowerment based on what our soul knows to be our truest values.We're watching too, the transiting conjunction of Uranus to fixed star Algol, exact this week as we watch to see who's head is going to fall next. Seems that Mike Walz, Trump's national security advisor, is the most recent as he takes the fall for Signal-gate back when DoD Secretary's classified information about the U.S. bombing of Yemen was accidentally exposed to both a journalist, and to the defense secretary's wife. So far, he's only been demoted to ambassador to the United Nations (pending confirmation), but we're watching this space to see who—if anyone—is next…K, be sure to join us at  https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for all this Astro News You Can Use, as well as the upcoming square of transiting Jupiter to the transiting nodal axis. As Jupiter in Gemini creates a mutable T-square to the Virgo South Node & the Pisces North Node, will we see increased tension between those who maintain a hubristic king-like arrogance & those who demand a greater sense of morality & justice from a despot wannabe? It would seem obvious to sky watchers at this point that abuse of the legal system here in the U.S. cannot be tolerated as mothers of 1 & 2 & 4 year-old children (including one with cancer) are faced with the choice between being deported alone or with their children. Or, in some documented cases, no choice at all, as in the case of the one year-old separated from his deported mother while still being breastfed. Join us for the latest news from the courts decisions defying the U.S. Government's disregard & disrespect for due process & the rule of law as set down in the U.S. Constitution. These forbid future deportations based on assumptions rather than facts without allowing one to exercise one's day in court. We review as well a federal Trump-appointed judge who ruled against using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport people because the U.S. IS NOT AT WAR WITH ANOTHER NATION.Tune in to find out additional astro details about how how Americans are standing their ground! See you then! Namaste…

Timestamps [1:45] Mercury enters Aries (April 15, 11:25 pm PDT) and will be in this sign until May 10. Mercury in Aries is excellent for dealing with situations that require quick decisions, decisiveness, and the courage to speak your mind. [4:17] Mercury conjoins Neptune (April 16, 9:11 pm PDT) at 00º38' Aries. Great for translating visions into a form that others can understand. Neptune is also associated with escapism, and lends sensitivity to other people and to content that you consume. [6:48] Mars moves into glamorous Leo on April 17 (9:21 pm PDT). Mars previously went into Leo on Nov. 3, 2024, eventually turned retrograde and entered Cancer on Jan. 6, where it's been ever since. It will be in Leo until June 17. Promote yourself and your ideas, and revisit any projects that you started back in late 2024.  [9:06] The Sun enters Taurus (April 19, 12:56 pm PDT, through May 20). Count your blessings, contemplate what is needed for stability, pleasure, and abundance. [11:30] Mars trines Neptune (April 19, 3:53 pm PDT) at 00°44' Leo-Aries. Help the disadvantaged, cheer the despondent, incorporate spiritual and artistic influences. Help others, not just yourself. [13:25] Venus, the planetary ruler of Taurus, sextiles Uranus (April 20, 11:20 am PDT) at 25º45' Pisces-Taurus. This is the last of three sextile aspects between Venus-Uranus (the others were Jan. 26, April 7). In any kind of relationship, it's important to have freedom, our own friends, interests, and money. [15:36] Mercury sextiles Pluto on April 20 (2:39 pm PDT) at 3º46' Aries-Aquarius. Channel the intense mental energy of this combination into constructive, healing, and empowering activities. [17:30] The Sun squares Mars (April 20, 6:34 pm PDT) at 1º12' Taurus-Leo. This can be motivating, but tempers might be flaring. Try not to take things personally and hold grudges. The Sun's Sabian symbol at this square is 2 Taurus, An electrical storm, Mars is on 2 Leo, An epidemic of mumps.  [20:11] Moon Report! The Aquarius Last Quarter Moon (April 20, 6:36 pm PDT) is at 1º12' Aquarius-Taurus, on Sabian symbols 2 Aquarius, An unexpected thunderstorm and 2 Taurus, An electrical storm. This is a highly charged and energetic Last Quarter Moon, marked by this T-square between the Moon and Pluto in Aquarius, Mars in Leo, and the Sun in Taurus. T-squares are motivating, but they can also be quite frustrating. Last Quarter Moons push us to complete the goals of the previous New Moon, in this case the Aries Solar Eclipse on March 29. [24:09] This is the Last Quarter (final action point) in a lunar phase family cycle (LPFC) that began with a New Moon on Jan. 21, 2023, at 1º32' Aquarius. The First Quarter (first action point) in this LPFC was on Oct. 21, 2023, and the Full Moon (awareness point) was on July 21, 2024. [26:08] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon Periods. On April 15 (7:24 pm PDT), the Moon in Scorpio trines Mercury in Pisces. It's VOC for just 13 minutes, and then enters Sagittarius (7:37 pm PDT). Take this very short VOC Moon period to initiate a habit of saying good things to yourself and to others. [27:34] On April 18 (4:38 am PDT), the Moon in Sagittarius trines the Sun in Aries. It's VOC for 2 hours, 34 minutes, then enters Capricorn (7:12 am PDT). Have fun and laugh, even in trying times. [28:34] On oh, so busy April 20 (10:21 am PDT), the Moon in Capricorn sextiles Saturn. It's VOC for 6 hours, 0 minutes, and then enters Aquarius (4:21 pm PDT). Use this VOC Moon to get in the habit of getting done what needs to get done before allowing yourself some time to play.

Welcome the energy of regeneration this April, a month focused on renewal and surrendering to the natural flow. While Mercury and Venus remain retrograde in the initial weeks, offering opportunities to revisit and resolve old patterns, trust this period of inertia. Instead of succumbing to discouragement or self-doubt, see this as an invitation to delve deeper into your inner world. Any feelings of fear or overwhelm are signals from your soul, urging you to explore your potential for magical growth. Embrace the teachings within challenges, invite your higher power into your situations, and remember that grace is freely given. April encourages us to connect with our intuition through prayer and meditation, setting a powerful intention each morning to align with our divine guidance. Key Dates in April: April 5th-8th: Period potentially primed for glitches and miscommunications April 7th: Mercury stations direct at 26 degrees of Pisces (7:07 AM ET) April 12th: Full Moon in Libra (8:22 PM ET) April 12th: Venus stations direct in Pisces (9:02 PM ET) April 16th: Mercury enters Aries April 18th: Mars moves into Leo April 19th: Sun moves into Taurus April 27th: New Moon in Taurus April 30th: Venus moves into Aries Numerologically, the combined energy of the 4 month and 9 year creates the energy of 13, symbolizing regeneration and transformation. This is a month to take practical steps towards clear, realistic, and attainable goals. Identify two achievable goals for the next 30 days and consider how you can work towards their successful completion. Grounding is important this month - the noise is loud and you may take on other people’s energy. Tune into your own signal by using 4-6-8 breathing cycles and moving stagnation out of your body. April brings significant astrological shifts that will influence our energy. With the Libra Full Moon on April 12th, focus on balance and harmony. Be decisive about areas where you've been indecisive. It's a good time for closure on things no longer serving you. Invite support from your higher power for these decisions. The month culminates with a powerful Taurus New Moon on April 27th, marking a new cycle focused on the material world, finances, and sensual pleasures, offering a chance to set sustainable intentions for the months ahead. It's about slow and steady progress and nourishing yourself. If you feel stuck, use this new moon to break free and gain clarity for sustainable action.

There may be excellent opportunities to progress in your career or business. There could be minor challenges along the way, but they may not impede you. Your financial situation is bound to improve, and this will release some tension. It will be a tough time with your spouse. You might have some troubles on the romantic front. Bonds with family and friends may remain strong. This month is also favorable for people considering higher studies and studying abroad.  Aries natives must learn to control their impulses in matters of romance. Married life can be troublesome for Aries. Their vibrant personality can be at odds with their partner. Relationships with elders may be nurturing. However, relating to their children can be quite a chore.  Even if you have money, it may slip away unnecessarily. So, avoid impulse buying. Family and friends may give you support. You will receive a fair and satisfying pay hike. Your colleagues will support you in all endeavors. Right now, there are hardly any chances for onsite participation. This is the right time for media and film professionals to move ahead. People in research and development may have new and exciting ideas. This month could be a very good one for business persons. Aries natives are likely to do well, while their competitors face major setbacks. Some may suffer from issues like indigestion, so avoid eating out. Students aiming for postgraduate studies and an international education could have success.

Send us a textCosmic currents shift dramatically this April as we emerge from eclipse season into a month of planetary rebalancing. The celestial landscape unfolds in two distinct acts – first dominated by Piscean waters processing eclipse fallout, then ignited by fiery Aries and grounded by earthy Taurus as we step into fresh terrain.Early April continues the introspective mood while retrograde Venus makes significant connections with the North Node and Saturn in Pisces. These powerful alignments reveal karmic patterns in relationships and demand reassessment of where we're investing our emotional energy. Venus retrograde conjuncting the North Node (April 3rd) opens doorways to align with soul purpose, while its conjunction with Saturn (April 7th) forces us to establish boundaries in relationships that may feel obligatory or draining.Mercury stationing direct on April 7th marks a pivotal turning point when mental fog begins lifting, allowing greater clarity around insights received during retrograde. This clarity perfectly times with the Libra Full Moon on April 12th illuminating relationship dynamics and calling for balance between self-assertion and compromise. With Venus also stationing direct that day, relationships gain momentum after weeks of reevaluation.The month accelerates dramatically mid-April with Mars entering Leo (April 18th), unleashing passionate, confident energy after months in emotionally cautious Cancer. This fiery placement emboldens personal expression and could manifest as increased activism on collective levels. The Sun entering Taurus (April 19th) brings welcome grounding, inviting connection with the physical world and attention to material concerns.April concludes with the powerful Taurus New Moon (April 27th), perfect for setting intentions around financial stability and abundance. The Sabian symbol for this lunation – "a sleigh on land uncovered by snow" – emphasizes preparation and foresight, particularly regarding financial security in uncertain times. As Venus finally enters Aries (April 30th), our approach to relationships becomes more direct and passionate.Whether you're curious about collective trends or seeking personal guidance, tune in for detailed zodiac forecasts covering how these transits will impact your sign specifically.

Here is your daily horoscope for Tuesday, April 30, 2024, and the most important aspects of the day:

As Venus and Mars transit into the Signs that they rule, Taurus (Venus) and Aries (Mars), Pluto also begins its Retrograde transit through Aquarius. We take a historical look at the recent Jupiter and Uranus Conjunction in Taurus, which is still resonating its power. Delve into your five physical senses and act from a place of courage for the purpose of expressing yourself authentically. (12:12) Venus in Taurus - April 29 - May 23, 2024. (16:18) Venus in Taurus Square Pluto in Aquarius 2° - April 29 - May 2, 2024 (Monday - Thursday) - Exact on Tuesday, April 30. (33:26) Mars in Aries - April 30 - June 8, 2024. Mars in Aries Sextile Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius 2° - April 30 – May 5, 2024 (Tuesday – Sunday) – Exact on Friday, May 3.

Every three years I have a big urge to shake up my work life in some way, is it Saturn? (58:28) Question - I heard the Moon doesn't like being in Virgo. I'm curious if this affects me being able to trust my feelings/intuition when communicating as a Moon and Rising in Virgo with Mercury in Virgo too.

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM when a new “Karmic Evolution's Astrologically Speaking!” podcast drops at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. PT April 26 & find out more!Like how the Sun's move into Taurus April 19 & the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Taurus April 20 led to expanded knowledge & a rapid change in perspective concerning finances & values. This, combined with reduced frustration as the energy of the recent Mars/Saturn conjunction wanes, led to sudden U.S. Congressional cooperation & passage of funding for Ukraine--without which it's predicted Ukraine would lose the war against its Russian aggressor.We look further at how the April 23 Scorpio Full Moon formed a fixed square to Pluto in Aquarius & how this energy manifests now through widening student protests against U.S. support for Israel its war in Gaza, & the growing backlash by authority figures. (Read: Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, Scorpio Moon & Taurus Sun square Pluto in rebellious Aquarius=expansion of student (Jupiter) protests (Uranus/Aquarius) over U.S. financial backing (Taurus) of Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza (Jupiter as the ruler of higher education, law, foreign places, AND religion.) We explore another theme related to these energies in the form of finances & sexual abuse--as Venus approaches a square to Pluto April 30/May 1--by Spain's decision to hold the Catholic Church financially responsible for 440K victims of such abuse by clergy & others. Meanwhile, the Arizona state house repeals the archaic 1864 law that bans abortions there, & we wait to see if the state senate will follow suit. And then there's the U.S. DoJ's $138M award to female Olympic athletes abused by Larry Nasser, the official Olympic gynecologist at the University of Michigan, already serving tine in prison. Can't get more Venus/Pluto than that as the two approach their exact square April 30/May 1!Join us at KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for more on all this, plus Venus's entrance into Taurus April 29, Mars' move into its own sign of Aries April 30, & the third-quarter monthly lunar square of the Aquarius Moon to the Taurus Sun May 1. (Hint: This asks us to push through current crises in ways that resonate with the mission of this monthly lunar cycle's inception at the April 8 Aries New Moon solar eclipse conjunct wounded healer Chiron by speaking out about our own & other peoples' pain & suffering.) And finally, we take a deeper look at the overall meaning of Pluto's station retrograde in Aquarius on May 2 until October 11. This is where the rubber meets the road in terms of each of us sorting out for ourselves where we stand in terms of morals/integrity, money, & power, & what we can discover from an intense exploration of the meaning of “soul” vs the allures, temptations, & trappings of the outer world…(Hint: Any personal confusion on what this means more specifically for each of us will come clear by watching what happens in the outer world & wider collective during this period!)Don't miss this explanation of how all these astro energies blend together to manifest in the physical world through a look at current events & our role in them! See you then! Namaste…

The first Mercury Retrograde of 2024 is upon us, challenging us to have the difficult conversations, to speak from a place of authenticity, while also being willing to courageously listen to what is being shared with us in return. Venus begins its transit through the Sign of the Ram, Aries, creating an energy of impulsiveness in your relationships. Impulsive coupling? Impulsive break-ups? Be mindful of your urges during this period, because you may be pressed to the brink impatiently pursuing your desires to your own detriment. Patience is the key to navigating these transits while a the same time engaging rather than avoiding the conflicts that are tugging at your impulses. Face the conflicts head on in order to relieve the tension.

My gratitude for speaking about the challenges about carrying more and finding balance. Is it due to this that I'm always at odds between achievement or impulse? (1:01:53) Question - I find myself having Lilith and Chiron in the 12th House in Gemini. How does one approach placements in the 12th House – it being unconscious? It feels like a vulnerable placement. Thank you

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for the latest podcast, which drops March 29 @ 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET, about how the recent March 25 & upcoming April 8 eclipses—AND Mercury's retrograde in Aries April 1-25—kick off a long-term review of both current partnerships & creative projects!This includes a look at how the March 25 Libra Full Moon lunar eclipse revealed changes in our relationships to others—both personal & as part of the collective. In addition, we discuss how Mercury's station retrograde from 27-degrees 10-minutes Aries April 1 back to 16-degrees Aries on April 25--when it stations direct again--provides us all the opportunity to review where & how we need to make changes to those which no longer inspire us. This Mercury retrograde period may stall the flow of our creative juices—temporarily—but the gift is time to review where we may have lost our mojo & need to recapture the kind of intuitive inspiration that helps us better plan our future. This theme is likely to be most prevalent when Mercury hits the upcoming Mars-ruled April 8 Aries New Moon solar eclipse degree of 19-degrees 24-minutes of the archetypal sign of motivation, ambition, & proactive assertion.This period is already activated since Mercury already conjoined this eclipse degree circa March 20/21, will do so again when retrograde on April 16, & once more when direct on May 5. Combined with the theme of this spring eclipse season, we're asked to reorient our creative pursuits in order to release any stagnant non-productive energy & make way for something new—partnerships included.As always, we discuss also the specifics of where partners have come together to negotiate, compromise, & successfully change their attitudes toward each other, & where, sadly, people & nations are still at war. Given that the April 8 solar eclipse has both luminaries tightly conjunct wounded healer Chiron, we discuss as well how future healing may be possible since repercussions of the Libra Full Moon lunar eclipse last through November 20, 2024—the day the South Node conjoins the March 25 lunar eclipse degree. Which, btw, also happens to be the day after Pluto reenters Aquarius on November 19 for the next 19 years.If you're ready to delve more deeply into the March 25 Libra Full Moon lunar eclipse's already realized effects on partnerships AND learn what's yet to come with the April 8 Aries New Moon Solar eclipse, then this podcast is a don't miss!

 JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM FOR THE LATEST ASTRO NEWS YOU CAN USE AS WE MOVE OUT OF PISCEAN APATHY & INTO MARTIAL RESISTANCE WHEN THE SUN ENTERS ARIES AT THE SPRING EQUINOX MARCH 21!While Mercury's in Mars-ruled Aries from March 9 through April 29—the sign through which he'll next retrograde from April 1-25—expressions of angry impatience over world events such as those in Gaza may well continue to increase. This is especially true since Venus—in Pisces from March 9 through April 5—will join Mercury in Aries April 5 for the rest of his journey through that sign.What does this mean? Mercury rules not only communication, but siblings, local business & transportation, & “near neighborhoods,” including relatives like aunts, uncle, & cousins. We can plainly see anger building over events this week around the too slow transportation of food & medicine into places like Gaza, where children are dying of malnutrition. Also in Haiti where more than a million children--a quarter of the population--are currently cut off from food and vital services due to the recent violence there, according to the charity Save The Children.In addition, many domestic legal “arguments” have been heard this week & will continue to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court during the period of these Mercury & Venus transits. Venus in Pisces, is exalted according to traditional astrology, , yes, but that doesn't change its propensity for naivete or the ability to play the victim or the martyr—which as Howard Sasportas points out in his book “The Gods of Change” are really two sides of the same coin.So, as anger builds over the mistreatment of others (Mercury is in Mars-ruled Aries & Mars highest function is to defend & protect those weaker or unable to defend themselves), while the dissolution of women's rights offends Venus as she travels first through Neptune-ruled Pisces but soon will move into Mars-ruled Aries as well, as noted.So, issues of women's rights as they've been flowing down the drain since the Supreme Court's Dobbs legal decision in June 2022 (Venus represents how we value feminine divine energy) have ignited a great deal of anger which is only likely to increase more openly when Venus transits through Aries soon.This week, however, the Sun conjoins Neptune March 17, making us all more prone to feel for the masses who need protection from harm because we're able to relate to their victimization now. When the Sun moves into Aries March 21, such empathy may turn into action, as evidenced by Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer's recent call for new elections in Israel--essentially to dethrone current right wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from power there.Sentiments of this sort are likely to increase as Mercury conjoins wounded healer Chiron in Aries March 20 & the likelihood for further commitment to empowerment for the downtrodden to increase may arrive when the Aries Sun sextiles Pluto in Aquarius (read: an opportunity for such empowerment) & Venus conjoins Saturn, an aspect of commitment & responsibility in relationships.Join us for more @Karmic Evolution Dot Com, when this latest podcast drops at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET today--including Mars's movement into Neptune ruled Pisces March 22 & Venus's sextile to Jupiter March 24, as we move toward the upcoming March 25 Libra Full Moon solar eclipse! See you then! Namaste…

Hey Aries. It's “the things we do for love”. Your reading is ready when you are ~

It's over a month away, but eclipse season is fast approaching. We have a Lunar Eclipse in Libra March 25, and a Solar Eclipse in Aries April 8th. Eclipses bring endings and beginnings often coupled with sudden and swift changes. The idea? To shake everything out of our lives that is not in alignment, to bump us back onto our highest path even if that means things crumbling to the ground. Relationships, jobs, locations, that are not aligned with us will come into question. The Aries/Libra axis is about heading toward our self fulfillment (Aries at the North Node) and releasing partnerships and contracts that our not serving us (Libra South Node). This means getting very clear and what's for you, and what is not meant for you. I'm airing this now to help you get out ahead of the curve and start to ask the deeper questions about your life: *Is this relationship in alignment? *Is my job in alignment? *Am I living in the right location? Our soul needs us to be making choices that make our heart sing. It's time to get aligned so you can stay on track. Join my mailing list here to get my weekly newsletter and work with me! I offer Life and Wellness Coaching, Astrology and Tarot Readings, and Yoga sessions. Wishing you a deep connection to your highest path. xo, Julia --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/julia359/support

Show Notes and Timestamps [1:13] Moon Report!  First up: A New Moon Solar Eclipse, at 29°50' Aries (April 19, 2023, 9:12 PM PDT). This represents the beginning of a shift from eclipses in the Taurus / Scorpio axis into the Aries/Libra axis. [3:19] This is the first eclipse in Aries since a Lunar Eclipse at 4°40' Aries, on September 28th, 2015. The last time we had a Solar Eclipse in Aries was March 29, 2006 at 8°35' Aries. This particular Solar Eclipse is near the same degree as the eclipses on April 19th, 2004 and April 17th, 1996. [4:48] Curious about how this eclipse could affect you on a personal level? Look at the houses and planets in your chart that contain 25° Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn through 4° Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius. [5:38] The chart of this super-duper charged New Moon Solar Eclipse shows a Sun-Jupiter conjunction, with the Sun and Moon in an out-of-sign square to Pluto at 0° Aquarius. [6:22] This New Moon Solar Eclipse initiates a new a Lunar Phase Family cycle. The First Quarter Moon in this Lunar Phase Family is on January 17th, 2024 (27°31' Aries). The Full Moon in this sequence is on October 17th, 2024 (24°35' Aries), and the Last Quarter Phase is exact on July 17th, 2025 (25°40' Aries). Think carefully about the intentions you choose to make at this time while acknowledging the limits of your personal power. [8:20] Void-of-Course Moon Periods (VOC). On April 17th, the Moon in Pisces conjoins Neptune (11:57 AM PDT). It's VOC for about 6 ¼ hours before entering Aries (6:09 PM PDT). Use imagination to discover new ways of doing things, and “go with the flow” during this time. [9:35] On April 19th, the Moon in Aries conjoins the Sun for that Solar Eclipse. The Moon will be VOC for only 18 minutes before it enters Taurus (9:30 PM PDT). Embrace this energetic, pioneering jolt and observe clues as to the next steps to take. [11:02] The Moon in Taurus sextiles Neptune on April 21st (8:41 PM PDT). It's VOC for about 6 ½ hours before entering Gemini on April 22nd (3:11 am PDT). Use the imaginative energy from the earlier Moon-Neptune conjunction in Pisces to create something tangible. [11:56] The Sun enters Taurus on April 20th (1:14 AM PDT). Spend time in nature, pay attention to your senses, buy lovely yet practical goodies for your home. Spa days are encouraged! [14:34] Just a handful of hours after the Sun enters Taurus on April 20th (9:27 AM PDT), it squares Pluto in Aquarius.  “...as lovely as we are, as wonderful as we are, we will not last forever.” [17:09] On April 21st (1:35 AM PDT), Mercury turns retrograde at 15°37' Taurus, on the Sabian symbol, 16 Taurus, Old man attempting vainly to reveal the mysteries.  It's retrograde until May 14th when it turns direct at 5°50' Taurus. Look at the houses of your chart with 5°50' - 15°37' Taurus to get an idea of how this Mercury retrograde could affect you personally. [20:17] Listener Jackie via SpeakPipe (we love that!) asks about the impact of the upcoming New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aries.  Check out Episode 151 for insights into eclipses aspecting different points in a chart. April's Moonshadow Eclipse Report makes interpreting how eclipses relate to your natal chart super simple!

Hold onto your edges because the next couple of weeks will be an energy cluster fuck. We have a New Moon in Aries (April 20), the start of the Eclipse season (April 19), and Mercury Retrograde (April 21). While we usually push the New Moon as a time to manifest, this energy is calling for you to continue to purge the people, places, and things that no longer serve you. If you're holding onto it, the Eclipse will shake things up, and Retrograde will cause you to re-access.

New Moon Solar Eclipse in bold Aries: April 19, 2023. Mercury goes Retrograde. The Sun goes into Taurus. Truth and transformation are in cahoots. Change is knocking, the boat is rocking. The next two weeks will be times of big change so keep your eyes on the game. It's an interesting paradox of energy. The New Moon in Aries is a Solar Eclipse too. Ushering us through the portals of change. It's a bold energy. All in. It's time to begin. Pluto is here though, bringing stuff up. And Jupiter is tied in too, expanding the need for more. More truth, more transformation. Though it may be stressful it is also liberating. It shuttles you to the next chapter in your amazing story. The Sun moves into status quo Taurus the very next day immediatley squaring Pluto. Squares are at cross purposes. They force growth. A bee is in your bonnet. There are ants at this picnic. You have a sliver and there is a rock in your shoe. Not every day is a good day. These things must be fixed. You will fix them. Onward and upward. Mercury goes retrograde on the 21st conjunct Uranus. Unexpected news may arrive. Watch the world stage. Reversals are possible. Be sure to review. Its is a great time to make sure you didn't miss anything important. If you charge ahead you may miss important details. Steer clear of purchases and contracts. Wait until mid May . By the beginning of June you will gain ground. Be careful of errors that could render the foundation you are laying unstable. You have tremendous energy to uncover faulty wiring. Life is pretty amazing right now- the potential for progress is profound, go with the flow, take it easy and take it slow. With the right attitude every situation can be seen as a learning experience designed to turn darkness into light. You are the director. This is your life. May beauty be before you. Thank you for subscribing

The time of the full moon is a period when spiritual energies are uniquely available, facilitating a closer rapport between humanity and the Hierarchy. Energies of light and love and the will-to-good are always available to those who can contact them in meditation. But in all aspects of our planetary life there are cycles in the ebb and flow of spiritual energies with which groups, as well as individuals, can consciously cooperate. One of the major energy cycles coincides with the phases of the moon, reaching its peak, its high tide, at the time of the full moon. This is a time, therefore, when the invocation and radiation of energy through group meditation can be uniquely effective. The meeting consists of a talk, followed by a group meditation. More information about this Festival and meditation at the full moon can be found on our website at www.lucistrust.org/fullmoon. We encourage you to join us live for our broadcasts via our website. To receive announcements for our meetings, please email us at lucis@londonlucistrust.org. 

The time of the full moon is a period when spiritual energies are uniquely available, facilitating a closer rapport between humanity and the Hierarchy. Energies of light and love and the will-to-good are always available to those who can contact them in meditation. But in all aspects of our planetary life there are cycles in the ebb and flow of spiritual energies with which groups, as well as individuals, can consciously cooperate. One of the major energy cycles coincides with the phases of the moon, reaching its peak, its high tide, at the time of the full moon. This is a time, therefore, when the invocation and radiation of energy through group meditation can be uniquely effective. The meeting consists of a talk, followed by a group meditation. More information about this Festival and meditation at the full moon can be found on our website at www.lucistrust.org/fullmoon. We encourage you to join us live for our broadcasts via our website.

Astrologer + musician Zamboni Funk joins us to discuss the astrology for April 2023, including : Full Moon in Libra, Solar Eclipse in Aries, Venus in Gemini and more.ZamboniFunk is a professional weirdo. When he isn't playing bootylicious funk music on the bass, he tells stories about the ongoing dramas of the heavens, with the basic understanding that whatever happens up there happens down here too; as above, so below. Timing is his specialty, from electing auspicious beginnings to keeping a killer pocket onstage; celestial and terrestrial, inquisitive minds and bumping rumps, it's all the one stuff, right?we discuss —Mercury enters TaurusMercury square PlutoFull Moon in LibraVenus enters GeminiSun conjunct Jupiter in AriesVenus square SaturnSolar Eclipse in AriesSun enters TaurusMercury stations retrogradeLINKSMore about our guest —Zamboni Funk's websiteZamboni Funk's IGZamboni Funk YouTubeZamboni on TikTokFree Resources —join us for Astro Meet-Up!get your free Houses Cheat SheetStay Connected —Subscribe to the home—body podcast wherever you get your listens.grace's websitehome—body websiteThis podcast is produced by Softer Sounds. ✨Support the show

Download Celeste's free guide to help understand the transiting Moon! Here's Celeste's Amazon storefront, with recommended books and oracle decks!   You can also follow Astrology by Celeste on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Yelp.   *****   Astrology highlights for the week of October 9, 2022:   00:49 – This week's theme is: Beauty and the Beast! And please join Celeste at her Scorpio season webinar on October 16. Also, Celeste is presenting on the Moon Phase Families for AFAN on October 20, and you're invited to that as well – both are free and open to the public!   02:40 – This week's three big things: First, on October 9 we have a Full Moon at 16 Aries on the axis of relationships. The Sun is conjunct Venus, and both are in a trine to Saturn: What is worth your effort? How do you express yourself in relationships? There's also a grand trine in Air (Sun in Libra, Mars in Gemini, Saturn in Aquarius): How do you create structures in relationships? How do you commit yourself? This Moon Phase Family started at the New Moon at 22 Aries (April 11, 2021); 9 months later, the First Quarter Moon was at 9 Aries (January 9, 2022); now we have the Full Moon; and the Last Quarter in this series will be at 17 Aries (July 9, 2023). Where are you a pioneer in your life?   08:00 – Second, the Sun in Libra will be conjunct the asteroid Psyche. The myth is about being attuned and bonded to another person and is associated with transformation and soul-mate union. (The book Celeste mentions is available on her Amazon storefront.) Notice if you see butterflies this week!   10:45 – Third, Mars in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces on Tuesday (October 11) at 23 Gemini/Pisces for the first of 3 times (the other 2 are on November 19, 2022, and March 14, 2023). This may bring instability and scattered energy. Will we see more of people fighting over their beliefs? Reach out to people who may be feeling down; self-care is essential during this transit. How can you pursue your dreams?   12:34 – On Sunday, the theme is PURSUIT – Have faith that your dreams are in reach. The Full Moon phase begins at 1:54pm PT at 16 Aries.   14:14 – On Monday, the word of the day is COGNIZANT. Pause before speaking or acting. The Moon enters Taurus at 2:03 pm PT. Mercury reenters Libra at 4:50 pm PT.   16:06 – Tuesday's focus is COMPOSURE. It may be the most challenging day of the week, don't break down, break through.   17:57 – On Wednesday, the word is ADMIRATION. The Moon enters Gemini at 10:07 pm PT.   20:08 – On Thursday, the theme is SERENDIPITY. Look for luck and opportunity to collide. The Disseminating Moon phase starts at 5 Gemini at 8:18 am PT.   21:55 – On Friday, the emphasis is ECSTASY. Enjoy yourself.   22:51 – On Saturday, the word is TENDER. Consider a candlelit bath. The Moon enters Cancer at 9:10am PT.   23:28 – Thanks for listening to Celestial Insights!
