Tuesday and Wednesday in Waterweek

Tuesday April 23

The Day of Mars in Waterweek and Mars is in Taurus. "Slow and steady wins the race" could easily be a motto for Mars in Taurus. Mercury sextiles Jupiter at 16°06′ Aries/Gemini, as Jupiter leaves its retrograde shadow, allowing us to create benefit from the challenges we’ve recently been prompted to take on. This bodes well for all kinds of agreements and communications. The clarity we feel today will infuse all our connections. This takes Mercury beyond the Zone of Harmony, and our minds can move into a more stable mode; we’ll be able to make plans now.At 0:25 am (3:25 am ET), the Moon enters Libra after a very long void period in Virgo. Now we can—feel compelled to—take direct action to affect the changes we want in our life. The energy of the Full Moon is upon us, and this is no ordinary Full Moon, but one in which a Lunar Eclipse carries the energy of Saturn’s Full appearance as it opposes the Sun.

Wednesday April 24

The Day of Mercury in active Waterweek. Mercury in Taurus takes the time to arrive at a decision, but gets there - Venus trines Pluto, which brings an opportunity to make a harmonious change in our way of loving. In both ourselves and others, we are placing a higher value on loyalty, stability, resilience, and wisdom (especially financial). Our bonds with others are shifting to accommodate this long, deep change. With a Sun sextile to Neptune, it just gets better. There’s the opportunity to align dreams and reality if we can keep our eye on the big picture and be ready to undergo some challenges to our faith and intuition. Don’t feel compelled to say it all now. Our ties and connections will go through a natural shift over the next few days, and we will be freed of some old conditions and step into some new ones. Nothing will be finalized now.
