VENUS in ARIES

For the LOVE of Creative Activity

VENUS takes on the traditional role of the Sun, entering ARIES as Passover begins!

In ancient times, passover was celebrated as the Sun entered Aries, the passing over from winter to spring at Equinox.

Lady Love (likes & dislikes) begins classes anew, in the very first sign of ARIES where Creative Activity is key!

VENUS last entered the cardinal fire sign of Aries on March 6, 2018. Notably, while holding hands with MERCURY.

For their last trip around our celestial sphere VENUS & MERCURY started the first class on the first day of school, together!

The energy of new beginnings is still flowing strong! The planetary bodies that recently began anew in Aries:

Jan2 MARS in ARIES – Action
Feb18 CHIRON in ARIES – Healing
Mar20 SUN in ARIES – Outer Identity
Apr3 VESTA in ARIES – Inner Flame
Apr17 MERCURY in ARIES – Mind
Apr20 VENUS in ARIES – Love

Lots of shifting today! Growing Outer Stability with the SUN in TAURUS and Commitment to Feeling with JUNO in CANCER.

SUN in TAURUS

Outer Stability 

The SUN makes grand entrance into the Earthy Realm of TAURUS

Ushered in on the horns of the Ram at Equinox, the Outer Sun is now moved by determination of the great Celestial Bull!

Additional shifting today: Receptive Venus enters Aries and Committed Juno enters the Cancerian realm of Feeling.

Highlights this month: Revolutionary URANUS insightfully guides us to that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

Pluto & Saturn go Rx, plus a double bump of Inner Expansion, as the Moon meets Jupiter Rx twice this month!

A big outer shift as the SUN moves from the bursting forth activities of ARIES to the grounded, stabilizing energy of TAURUS.

EARTH signs reflect the physical elements of the world. FIXED signs are stabilizers and TAURUS is the only fixed earth sign!

Shifting from (cardinal) leading energy to that of (fixed) stability. The SUN & MOON are both now geared towards stabilization.

The Outer SUN tours the (fixed) earth sign of TAURUS 4/20-5/21 with Determination for Value, Security, and Mastership.

Just as the Inner MOON covers the stabilizing (fixed energy) expressions of all four elements; FIRE, WATER, AIR, and EARTH.

LIBRA Full Moon

Fully Balanced Inner Awareness

Full Moon in LIBRA 

This Full Moon occurs on the last degree of LIBRA, aligned exactly opposite of the Sun on the final degree of ARIES.

As the (build cycle) of this waxing moon draws to a close, the fortnight of the waning moon (release cycle) begins.

The picture symbol for this Full Moon at 29°Libra reflects the ability of discovering what the mind is interested in.

A PHRENOLOGIST DISCOVERS MOUNDS OF KNOWLEDGE ON A HEAD. 

Particular traits of mind are reflected in the bumps of the skull.

Notably, this 2nd Libra Full Moon occurs on the same degree where the Pattern Seer PALLAS Rx Mission began in Feb.

Just for fun, check out a Phrenology chart and see how it applies to you! We found it to be extraordinarily accurate!

ARIES Season began with a full potential 0°Libra Full Moon and now concludes with a full culmination 29°Libra Full Moon. 

This Libra Full Moon puts the wraps on the Celestial month of Aries! The Full Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise.

MERCURY in ARIES

MERCURY enters ARIES 

As we finally clear the shadow zone of the last retrograde period!

On March 5th, Mercury went retrograde on the very last degree of our Celestial Sphere at 29° Pisces.

MERCURY now begins classes anew, in the very first sign of ARIES where Creative Activity is key!

Mercury last entered the cardinal fire sign of Aries on March 6, 2018, while holding hands with Venus.

This year Venus takes the honorary role of passing over from winter to spring; entering Aries on Passover.

Since ancient times, passover was the Sun entering Aries, but this year it seems, we're a bit, off kilter.

The celestial ties to Passover & Easter came to light during the MERCURY Rx Mission on Calendar Reform.

The energy of new beginnings flows strong! 

As the following personal planets began or begin anew in Aries.

Jan2 MARS in ARIES – Action
Feb18 CHIRON in ARIES – Healing
Mar20 SUN in ARIES – Outer Identity
Apr3 VESTA in ARIES – Inner Flame
Apr17 MERCURY in ARIES – Mind
Apr20 VENUS in ARIES – Love

CANCER Half Waxing Moon

Building Inner Purpose 

Half Waxing MOON in CANCER, where Research is key!

We're halfway through this Inner Build phase as the MOON reaches 90° away from the SUN, both on the (same degree) of a Cardinal sign.

The Outer SUN leads with expansive cardinal fire energy, as the Inner MOON leads with the experiential feeling energy of cardinal water.

This Half Moon is also aligned to the Dragon's Head of Personal Purpose. The north point, where the SUN & MOON cross orbital paths.

During this Celestial Month of Aries, all the major lunations occur in Cardinal signs. The Inner & Outer having a similar kind of drive.

Each quarter Moon phase is tuned to the same mode of expression as the sign where the SUN currently transits (cardinal, fixed, or mutable).

The dance of the Sun & Moon plays out like this; all the time, every time, like clockwork! The Sabian picture symbol for this purposeful half waxing moon degree:

THE MEETING OF A LITERARY SOCIETY. 

Aspects gather to research and discuss the great works and masterpieces of previously recorded knowledge.

A definite sense of being led along to a greater purpose and personal satisfaction. The Half Waxing Moon rises at noon & sets at midnight.

JUPITER Rx Mission

Illumined Willpower

JUPITER goes Rx in his own domain of Sagittarius where the Illumination of (full awareness) is key!

The constellation for this area of Sagittarius is SAGITTA the celestial Arrow reflecting action towards a higher aim. 

Jupiter Rx is looking for a higher view and greater awareness of a little something we like to call the Will.

This area of Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and the Sun! Hence, the ties to Illumination and Willpower.

The JUPITER Rx Mission of Illumined Willpower lasts right up through the SUN in LEO celestial month of Building Willpower!

Expansive Jupiter is on retrograde mission 4/10-8/11. The Sabian picture symbol for this Rx stationing degree:

RICH LITTLE BOY RIDES UPON HIS BRIGHT-COLORED HORSE. 

A highly valued developing aspect is closely aligned with and aware of his multifaceted willpower.

We now have two planetary bodies on Rx Mission in this Jupiter ruled, expansive fire sign of Sagittarius!

The CERES Rx Mission of Seeing the Signs, and now the JUPITER Rx Mission of Illumined Willpower.

Notably, Jupiter will go direct on the exact same degree where the CERES Rx Mission began, on 4/9.

Venus & Neptune in Pisces

Highest Love

VENUS meets NEPTUNE in PISCES with

Complete Dedication to True Principles

VENUS reflects our own personal (likes & dislikes) and NEPTUNE represents the energetic qualities of the Imagination. Lady Love and the Great Mystic!

When these two meet, it’s like the highest kind of love! Folks born under a planetary alignment such as this, are quite tuned to the highest, agape kind of love.

Spiritual Love at the forefront! As if perfectly choreographed with the Jupiter Rx Mission that begins today! The Sabian picture symbol for this meetup degree:

IN A HUGE TENT A FAMOUS REVIVALIST CONDUCTS HIS MEETING. 

In an expansive, transitory state of mind, dedication to true principles is renewed.
