Lunar Lore for 4/5

Lunar Lore

An old moon in a mist
Is worth gold in a kist [chest];
But a new moon’s mist
Will ne’er lack thirst.
– Collected in R. Inwards, “Weather Lore”

…

But how many months be in the year?
There are thirteen, I say;
The midsummer moon is the merryest of all
Next to the merry month of May.

– “Robin Hood and the Curtal Friar.”

…

In the decay of the moon
A cloudy morning bodes a fair afternoon.
– Tusser, “Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry” (17th century).
…

Some works in dead of night are better done, or when the morning
Dew prevents the sun. Parch’d meads and stubble mow by
Phoebe’s light, which both require the coolness of the night;
For moisture then abounds, and pearly rains
Descend in silence to refresh the plains.

– Dryden’s trans. of Virgil’s “Georgics,” Book I

The Sun in Aries
Leadership qualities tend to come to the forefront. Optimism is high and challenges seem a bit easier to meet. Taking care of number one can be a main theme in this period. Aggression levels and the need for adventure are likely to rise as well. Impulsive, decisive, and courageous actions by even the meekest of souls are very possible at this time.

Sun Conjunt Mercury
One’s ears may be closed to the advice of others.

Sun Conjunct Jupiter
Optimism and confidence are likely to be high in many. Life’s positive energies are very strong. Gain through luck is very possible.

Sun Opposition or Square Saturn
One’s picture of one’s self may be a bit muddled at this time. Self-doubt will dampen the spirit of many.

Moon In Taurus
This is a period in which an easy going attitude and moving through life at a steady pace is favored. The need for physical pleasure may be high at this time. If possible conflict should be avoided. Unyielding stubbornness can lead to missing some great opportunities.

Moon Sextile or Trine Venus
Now is a good time to make sure those close to you realize just how important they are to you.

Moon Sextile or Trine Pluto
Passions are likely to run high during this aspect. Exploring the world’s mysteries may be a very attractive pursuit at this time.

Mercury In Aries
Mercury in Aries is an influence that does not favor diplomacy. Many will be far more outspoken than usual. Dissension will be prevalent. Traditional approaches to handling challenges are likely to be replaced by new, more affective strategies. The need to be on the cutting edge of things will be strong.

Mercury Conjunct Jupiter
Seeking the “essence” of things may become a preoccupation. The need and ability to share ideas is strong.

Venus In Pisces
Feelings are likely to run very deep. One may find themselves swelled with compassion that the need to help others becomes a major motivator. Creativity should be very strong and could lead to the development of exceptional innovations in the future.

Venus Sextile or Trine Pluto
This aspect can drive deep passions to the surface. Unfortunately, the result of such eruptions is often negative, because those on the receiving end do not know how to handle unexpected emotional outbursts.

Mars In Aries
Action is the keyword at this time. Those who act quickly and decisively should be favored. Self-sufficiency and the ability to act alone are valuable assets. Many will do well by focusing on short term goals.

Mars Conjunct Uranus
The need for personal freedom may be very strong. Many will show a pronounced lack of patience. Look internally for inspiration and motivation.

Mars Opposition or Square Pluto
This aspect favors those who put the full force of their will into reaching their goals. During this time it would be wise not to share one’s plans and ideas with a broad audience.

Jupiter In Aries
Self-reliance and optimism are favored at this time. Those who enjoy challenges and competition are favored. Adopting a never surrender attitude is a key component to attaining success.

Jupiter Opposition or Square Saturn
This aspect tends to muddle the distinction between what is real and what one wishes to be real. Setbacks can be experienced due to this nebulous vision of reality.

Saturn In Libra
Intimacy may be more of a chore than a pleasure. Some will find their progress towards strengthening intimate bonds and attaining goals muted by feelings of inadequacy.

Uranus In Aries
The astrological influence of Uranus is measured in increments of 7 years. What this means is that the effects of Uranus influence an entire generation. Day to day the Uranian influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Uranus is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Iconoclasm, independence and self-sufficiency are likely to be major themes during this period. Traditional values will be challenged. Those with a pioneering spirit will flourish.

Uranus Square Pluto
A mental restlessness and the need for complete personal freedom are possible influences of this aspect. In some the need for total autonomy may be so strong that they will challenge any attempt to subdue their independence.

Neptune In Pisces
Because Neptune takes approximately 14 years to move across Pisces its day to day influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Neptune in Pisces is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Gentleness, creativity, and the pursuit of spiritual truth are strong influences at this time. Many may find mysticism and unorthodox religions very attractive.

Pluto In Capricorn
Because Pluto takes approximately 15 years to move across Capricorn its day to day influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Pluto in Capricorn is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Strong economic gains can be made during this period. Pluto in Capricorn favors those who are able to make logical decisions and devise pragmatic solutions to the challenges before them.

Daily Horoscopes for 4/5

General Daily Horoscope

The practical Taurus Moon steadies our desires by encouraging us to want things within reach. The Moon forms a cooperative sextile with sensual Venus, emphasizing the pleasure that can be ours. Although we should be satisfied with what we have, we still may crave more as the Sun moves toward its annual conjunction with indulgent Jupiter tomorrow. Even the stability of the Taurus Moon may not be enough to counteract five planets in speedy Aries.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may feel a bit lazy now, you’re still the one who quickly swings into action before considering the consequences. Often you can get away with overstepping your bounds, but your words have more impact on your friends and associates than you expect today. Exaggerating the facts or overselling your position won’t help you convince others that your idea is a solid one. Since you cannot avoid the truth for long, you might as well keep it real from the very beginning.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your need for simplicity is a prime motivator now that the Moon has returned to your sign. You may be able to positively impact a complex situation by changing only a very few basic variables. Don’t try to pass yourself off as a master of details and nuance. Even if you wish that life wasn’t so complicated, focus on the big picture and let the rest fall into place on its own.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are often able to safely get away with talking about nearly anything that pops into your mind. Now, however, even the simplest comment can turn into a major disagreement. Almost everything you say today seems to be misunderstood or blown out of proportion. Avoid the temptation to prove everyone wrong; concentrate on cooperating with others rather than competing with them.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are not looking for trouble today, yet it could find you when you least expect it. Although a dynamic situation at work may demand your immediate attention, you might still be highly resistant to any form of change. Fortunately, your friends appreciate your ability to quickly grasp the subtleties of a complex situation. Step up to the plate and take the lead, but remember there’s no reason to make a big deal out of what you’re doing.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could be caught between your confident head and your tender heart today, although you will most likely end up sweeping your emotions under the rug if you get the chance. You might think that rational thoughts are superior to feelings now, but logic doesn’t have to override your love. Turn the battle for control into a spiritual practice by opening communication channels while seeking balance in your life.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your ruling planet Mercury is mischievous while in his retrograde phase, and today he tricks you into thinking you are outrageously clever. Nevertheless, you cannot get away with talking your way around an obstacle. You must make a decision whether to move forward on your current path or if you want to consider a variety of alternatives that can change the course of your life. The time is now; make up your mind and follow your heart.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s challenging to find a healthy balance in your relationships now, for you may simultaneously be told yes and no every time you ask a simple question. You are willing to go over the edge in order to establish your limits, but it will still be tough to follow the rules. Being an artist is one way of testing the reaction of the world around you. The situation is not as desperate as you may think, so slow down, take your time and find your way.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It may be easier for you to just show up and take control of the situation, if needed. Plot your course of action spontaneously today, rather than retreating to analyze a logical next step. Usually, you are the one who measures each and every thought, but now you’re eager to jump before knowing if the pool is even filled with water. In your haste to act, don’t try to detach yourself from your feelings, for they can still teach you quite a bit.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are often so opinionated that you may inadvertently anger someone close to you. You’re ready to share your feelings with everyone today because you believe that it is just simpler to tell the truth. Ironically, you can become a bit too evasive when it comes time for a heartfelt emotional interaction. There’s nothing wrong with your desire to keep your feelings hidden as long as you continue to maintain your integrity.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might not be able to escape the responsibilities still being placed on you with your key planet Saturn in the picture. You may become frustrated in your struggle to keep up with all that’s happening. However, you can shift the energy by simply agreeing to play according to the current rules of the game. You can regain your power when you acknowledge your limitations and stop taking on more than you can handle.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have to manage certain domestic affairs now without anyone outside of your home knowing about your challenges. Although you have valid reasons to keep things to yourself, you’re tempted to share personal information with an intimate friend or business partner. Broach a sensitive topic carefully, but don’t wait until it’s too late. Talk to a trustworthy companion today before the pressure makes a casual conversation impossible.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A kinder and gentler you is eagerly looking ahead, and yet your tone of voice might be forceful enough to scare someone away — even if you’re trying to bring him or her closer. It isn’t any fun to upset someone you really like, yet you can avoid unpleasant consequences by being thoughtful and considerate in all your interactions. Moderation works in your favor now, so carefully understate whatever you choose to share today.

Element of Earth

Earth is the universal archetype of the divine feminine. Our planet is fondly called Mother Earth, the Great Mother and Gaia among many others. She represents the inexhaustible spirit of creation and is associated with abundance. When we work with earth, not only are we calling the great expanse of our planet – its mountains, caves minerals, and deserts – but we are also invoking her support and massive strength. From her energies hidden treasure, and she is the proof that material things can be manifested from the divine.

The earth gives all living things the space and minerals they need to grow, so when we call earth into our circle as we stand at the north quarter, we are inviting the living essence of our planet to join us in our celebrations and our magic. We are asking that this energy lend its aid to the work we are doing. When we ask for blessings from the north, we are envisioning abundance, stability, protection and room to grow in a positive way.

Throughout the history of magic the element of earth has been associated with a variety of deities, spirits and angels. You can use what you like, as long as you remember the underlying basic: Earth is earth is earth. We can use a lot of breath with long invocation, and draw exquisite, complicated sigils and dress it up all we want but it is still dirt.

From the magical (as well as the esoteric alchemical) viewpoint, earth has the lowest vibration of the four elements because it is solidly manifest in our world. In astrology those signs symbolized by the earth element are Capricorn (motivated earth); Taurus (rooted earth); and Virgo (changing earth). As the moon moves through each sign for approximately two and a half days each moth, you will have an opportunity to work with the moon’s receptive energy in that sign. If you wanted to work on the structure of something, then you would choose a day when the moon is in Capricorn. If you wish to keep things the same or stockpile something, they moon in Taurus is perfect time for such a spell or ritual. If you need to make changes to a structure, investigate something, or find the “bugs” in a system, then the Virgo moon is the perfect time.

Daily Horoscopes for 4/4

General Daily Horoscope

We may be lost and found today because we’re on the edge of yet another great planetary shift as nebulous Neptune slips into dreamy Pisces. But this is just a four-month test drive before it returns to this watery sign next year for a 14-year visit. The Sun’s anxious semisquare to Neptune heightens our imaginations even further, pulling us into Fantasyland. However, the Moon’s entry into stable Taurus at 7:45 pm EDT sets us back on the ground.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Marching in a brass band may be your idea of fun for a group or family outing today, because you really want to get everyone up and moving. Of course, you wish they would pay attention as you direct the show. But Mars is a close traveling companion with the Moon now, so you definitely need to soften your message. Music can soothe frayed nerves, yet it will probably be more effective to lower the volume so others don’t cover their ears and miss out on what you are saying.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You aren’t happy if someone bullies you, but defending yourself is likely a common event with your stubborn nature. Unfortunately, you may not be that comfortable handling this particular situation today. It’s easier to hide your anger than to confront the origin of the problem. Keep in mind that this is not a cowardly act. Your self-restraint is wise now; otherwise you could lose control and create additional damage instead of leaving well enough alone.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You need to stay hyper-vigilant or your current intensity will appear overly aggressive to others. You might even think that you are being extremely logical today, only to have someone tell you that your ideas are impossible to follow. Instead of explaining every little detail, speak softer and say less. You really don’t have to use that many words to get your point across. But you may have to wait until Mercury goes direct before you are completely understood.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might surprise others with your ability to defend your choices today. You may be willing to listen, but once you’ve heard what someone else has to offer, your reaction can be strong and swift. Although you are more aware of others now, be careful about diluting the strength of your message by attempting to cover too much unfamiliar ground all at once.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Putting your best ideas forward is not an alien concept to you, but today there is so much expressive energy floating around that you might not know when to stop. Your confidence tempts you to be so assertive that you can easily offend even your strongest allies. It will be much easier if you remember that dispersive Neptune’s magnifying lens is making everything you say sound louder than it actually is. A laid-back approach will take you further now than an arrogant one.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Interactions seem overly dramatic now that you are approaching a real turning point in your relationships. Someone’s negative thoughts boil over and then everything becomes quiet. But don’t mistake less noise for less intensity; it could be just the opposite. Don’t allow yourself to feel so much anger that you say things you don’t really mean. Withdraw your energy until you have regained your strength and composure.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are such a natural people-pleaser that sometimes you can be overly concerned with making everyone else happy. But you have six planets in your 7th House of Relationships today, indicating that you could blurt out something straight from your intuition without thinking about the impact of your words. Don’t let anyone stand in your way; setting well-defined boundaries can assure healthier relationships in the future.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Now that courageous Mars, your traditional planetary ruler, is in your 6th House of Employment, you are able to start new tasks at work. Unfortunately, follow-through will become a problem if you don’t keep up your momentum. Once you slow down, you could lose track of your direction, so ask your friends and associates to either lend a helping hand or simply get out of your way.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Even if your current message sounds critical, don’t expect others to share your concerns today. Although your friends know that you can wax philosophical, they still may become less patient as you enthusiastically ramble on about something that’s significant only to you. Your ideas are flowing fast and furious now; it’s hard to tell which ones are worth pursuing, so don’t become too attached to any one thought until you see how it stands up to the test of time.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You feel encouraged to wield your power today, but you could easily overdo it. The idea of proving your authority can be so enticing now that you may lose sight of your original intent. Success does not stem from being in control; reaching your goals is dependent on cooperation and innovation, and not hierarchy and tradition. Remember, the whole is greater than the sum of its individual parts.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Positive thinking is a powerful force that can motivate others, but you might take it too far today. Blind optimism won’t be of much use at all. If someone believes that you can’t discern facts from fiction, there’s a good chance that he or she will lose faith in your entire message. Muster support for your plan by being as realistic as possible. Everyone wants to hear good news, but it’s even more important for you to tell the truth.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re eager to create a new strategy for increasing your income with forceful Mars now traveling through your 2nd House of Money. You may have a lot of enterprising ideas about how to increase your cash flow, but aren’t sure that any of them will actually work. However, dreamy Neptune’s long-term presence in your sign can sap your confidence, so don’t be afraid to ask for support from others. Relying on good advice from a trustworthy companion helps you determine a sensible course of action.

Lady A’s Spell of the Day for 4/3: Candle of Serenity

Candle of Serenity

Use for easing of problems Preferably performed just before the New Moon: the waning moon will help the problems dissipate.

Use when everything seems to be going wrong, your self-esteem is low, and everything and everyone around feel imbued with negativity.

Have a plate or ashtray nearby, and 7 pieces of paper (not to big).

Light a green candle and meditate on the problems afflicting you.

If needed, write these down on pieces of paper.

Light each piece of paper, one by one, and set them on the plate to burn, repeating the following over and over:

“Let my spirit be free as the wind
that can be harnessed but never tamed
Let the fears and dark thoughts that burden me
dissipate as light smoke in the breeze
Let all evil directed at me
turn to ash before my inner flame”

Continue repeating these words and focus on the burning paper, visualizing the negativity turn to smoke and ashes.

You should feel yourself growing lighter.

Let the fire go out by itself, and meditate a moment to purge any negative feelings that have remained in you.

Dispose of the ashes in running water and/or setting them to the wind. Make sure no ash is left on the plate.

Keep the candle and light it and meditate every time you feel negativity taking over you again.

New Moon Report for 4/3 – New Moon in Aries

New Moon in Aries

Sunday, April 3, 7:32 am PDT, 10:32 am EDT

The New Moon in the first sign of the zodiac fires up restless feelings and strong desires for change. Impatience and innovation spark bright ideas that can burn out as quickly as they come if we don’t slow down to anchor them in reality. A sense of urgency is amplified by a conjunction between bold Mars and independent Uranus — both in Aries — that can provoke rebellion against rules and reason. There is genius in the air but cerebral Mercury is stuck in reverse until April 23, requiring several revisions before getting plans on track. This Sun-Moon conjunction in spontaneous Aries can free us from past inhibitions, allowing us to begin creating a radically different future.

The New Moon in Aries is the true starting point of the astrological year. While there is some danger in going too far too fast, it’s better to take chances by exploring unfamiliar territory than playing it safe. Mistakes can be corrected and other opportunities arise when we’re pro-actively pushing ahead instead of being passive now.

Daily Horoscopes for 4/2

General Daily Horoscope

As if things weren’t already moving fast enough, the Moon shifts into speedy Aries at 7:51 am EDT. And, assertive Mars also enters spontaneous Aries early this morning, making six planets in this excitable sign. Things may be a bit crazy since the Moon conjuncts Mars and electric Uranus today, firing up our enthusiasm for new beginnings. However, our feelings intensify when romantic Venus forms a cooperative sextile with passionate Pluto.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Everything is happening so fast now that you won’t even have time to think about what to do; you just do it. You barely finish one project or handle a personal issue when something new comes at you from a different direction. Fortunately, you are well equipped to react quickly when the Moon is in your sign. No planning is needed today; you can always make adjustments later on.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may long for some peace and quiet now, but even if you’re resistant to getting involved in a group activity, you’re able to muster up enough energy to get by. Others may perceive you as lazy because they’re unable to feel your enthusiasm. However, limiting most of your activity to the non-physical world of emotional fantasy isn’t a waste of time since today’s dreams can turn into tomorrow’s reality.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be quite excited about what’s ahead with six planets traveling through your 11th House of Long-Term Goals. Ironically, the future may seem more real than the present moment. Unfortunately, it may be much harder than you think to execute plans today. Instead of trying to manage all the variables and power your way toward your destination, let go of control. Floating on the waves without resistance is more productive now than struggling to control your direction.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are feeling stressed out today because your friends expect you to be active now and you want to relax. Even if you spend much of the day at home, it’s challenging to take your mind off unsettling dynamics at work or in your community. Thankfully, you don’t have to bring the tension to resolution now. Instead, allow your feelings to ebb and flow with your own emotional tides, putting off significant decisions until the pressure subsides.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may be holding on to anger from an old emotional wound, it’s hard to stay in a negative place for very long today. Six planets in enterprising Aries are activating your 9th House of Adventure, enabling you to turn anxiety into action. Once you find your pace, no one will likely get in your way. However if someone does pose trouble, you should be able to overcome your annoyance by talking about your feelings.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Typically, you’re more interested in knowing that you have the facts right than exploring your feelings about what’s happening. Today, however, you can push through old emotional limitations and into new territory because you want the most intense experience you can get. Your behavior might surprise your friends or partner because usually you’re more cautious. Don’t resist your desires because you’re afraid of being judged. This is your opportunity to create positive change, so don’t let it slip through your fingers.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Working on a relationship now sounds easier than it actually is because it’s difficult to rein in your thoughts and feelings. Still, it’s a smart strategy to try your best. Be careful; if you attempt to procrastinate, you may have to deal with a close friend or partner who has a very different idea of what you should be doing today. Ultimately, don’t worry too much about other people’s expectations. Do what you can along the way, but take enough time to relax.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You aren’t so restrained in the expression of your feelings today because sweet Venus supports your key planet Pluto, making you less worried about a harsh reaction from anyone else. You might even get a kick out of stepping over the edge of acceptability, if only for the shock value. However, expressing your quirkiness is safer now because you also can focus your attention on whatever needs to get done. It’s easier to get away with being weird when you are also efficient.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may seem overly excited today as you express yourself wholeheartedly in nearly everything you do. Others may have a hard time keeping up with you as you try to fulfill your current obligations. Although you’re on a creative roll, you still might feel as if you’re running out of time. Remember that other people need to adhere to schedules, even if you’re less concerned with the concept of linear time.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Fortunately, your day could offer the respite you seek, though it still may be challenging for you to enjoy it. A hectic day on the home front magnifies your desire for some peace and quiet, but you’ll probably be bored by the time you finally get it. Remember, there’s no reason to create drama where none previously existed. Your attitude can make all the difference in the world.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may experience an intellectual breakthrough with respect to your place within the community today. You could learn something new from a close friend that helps you understand how much others value your contributions now. But rather than resting on your laurels and basking in the compliments, you’re already ready for the next project. It’s fine to push ahead, but first take time to acknowledge what you’ve already accomplished.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may believe that the real world isn’t all that important now as you indulge in your fantasies. Luckily, this can become quite a spiritual journey if you are ready to minimize your material needs. Nevertheless, no matter how this kind of non-physical thinking plays itself out, financial concerns could bring you crashing back down to earth. Attend to your commitments with the same urgency that you give your dreams so you can return to your creative pursuits as soon as possible.
