Starry Eyed for the week 4.11-4.17
Before we get the waxing eclipse thats amping up your nervous system to critical mass you have to say the week is focused on Mercury turning direct on Tuesday. It takes a few days for the momentum to increase but electrical appliances will be less fickle and the cell phones will stop needing therapy. Remember restart is computer massage. Mercury went retrograde on the 19th of March. Take a second to scroll through the internal calendar. What are the projects, communications, devices and collectives that have been sputtering or completely stalled? Use what has come to light in this cycle to institute the changes needed.
The week crackles with mental activity to begin. Monday Pluto and Venus are trine in fire signs. This could be out of control institionalizing of morals and perceptions of beauty. If its in the eyes of the beholder and we have two eyes then theres dichotomy to begin with. The positive active is an opportunity for spontaneous healings of deep-rooted generational pains with the rethinking of the scars and wounds that cause them.
Wednesday while the mental plane is still activated and Mercury is not direct we have a double dose with Mars meeting Neptune head on and the sun forming a fiery trine with Pluto.
Anything chased up a tree will fight sometime, and perhaps in hidden and fanciful ways. Best to corner nothing and no one including ourselves.
Its our monthly tour with the moon through Cancer starting on Wednesday night and running into the weekend. Careful of emotional stress coming through the body. Its a great time to match all anxiety with some self-nurturing.
Venus moves into Taurus on Friday giving us all a boost in the attitude that the world is in fact beautiful. The transit will allow us over 30 days to see the essence of beauty not just what we call beautiful, but what is beautifying.
Aries
You are all types of explosion this week. I could have said expansion but thats only for those that can see explosions in a frame-by-frame slowed down manner. You do see it this way and it would be helpful for you to use this week to set your vision. You dont have to stop moments in their tracks, just exercise your focus internally. Take moments when youre waiting for someone or something to soak up sounds and smells you might normally overlook. It will surprise you when your human hard-drive is able to assimilate more than even you though was possible.
Taurus
Hold on lovelies relief is in sight. Yes its seemed the eclipse last week was pointed right at you. What were those big issues you were worried about that faded away into nothing? Replay how much energy you put into the what ifs against what actually happened. You could have learned a foreign language in the time you spent fretting. Venus is going to hit your sign on Friday, giving you a month of amplified perspective on the moral and beautiful. Try and drag some of that into the physical so we can share it with you. Hint: beauty isnt only in the eye of the beholder; the other senses get it too.
Gemini
Youre going to need a stenographer Monday through Wednesday. They are in short supply so you may want to watch things you repeat. If you just got off the phone telling someone all about it why also dump it on the mail carrier? Usually when we get repetitive its because were trying to get our own attention. So when a bit of frustration develops, no one listens to me! Turn right into the mirror and ask, what is it you want to say? This cancer moon this week is a prime time for you to get your digestion in order. Its what tells you if anxiety or calm is ruling your being, listen to it.
Cancer
You got some clarity out of the eclipse, and now inside the 14-day cycle you should take the reins and implement some of the changes you felt should be made. You always err on the side of others feelings and thats so admirable, however grand nurturer you may want to apply some of that power internally. When the moon hits cancer on Thursday morning make a concerted effort to will yourself and surroundings into harmony and health. The changes are small and obvious. An easy focus is to cling to your virtues and let the vices hold on for themselves.
Leo
There is a lot happening opposite you in Aquarius, you may be seeing shapes in your peripheral vision, hearing sounds just out of reach or perceive phantom smells. Youre not going crazy, youve already been there and will visit again. The cosmos are tuning your fiery nature to be more receptive. The payoff is that the deeper youre able to sense the more expansive youre able to feel. Turning the internal work, into internal play is a great start. The hugs you give yourself with open up space to get the hugs you really want from the rest of us.
Virgo
No I have no idea how you can unplug you mind. Truly it whirs at a pace that would make the rest of us dizzy. Mercury going direct on Tuesday will clear out some of the spinning your wheels feeling. Before you just grab traction and peel out look around your mind for repetitive thoughts, those issues that attract your attention when youre doing repetitive physical activity, really observe how much space there is in the mind. Even doing a complex action you can think of three other things. So dont unplug it use it! You could ruminate on the nature of mathematics instead of the numbers on the bills.
Libra
That eclipse last week gave you lots of shadows to illuminate. You have to give yourself a break; no one is as harsh to you as you are. Not even close! Can you get outside and see how receptive, kind and caring you are with kids, plants and pets. Just because the humans can be vicious is not reason to toss them all out. You are the supreme diplomat, maybe you could get these parts of you that are warring to sit down for a little talk, hash it out and sign a peace accord. Friday have a Venus celebration; you have a month to create the beauty you not just want but need in your life.
Scorpio
You are made for eclipse cycles. When the rest of us are tossed down into the depths of the human soul and heart we become skittish and overwhelmed. For you its where you get to stretch out and really be yourself. Dont take this ability to be the deep-sea divers of the soul lightly. Nor should you swagger with bravado, yes youve seen worse but this is what youre seeing now. Become a good self-scientist and examine the depths of you, where things grow without the light of the outer world. Like deep-sea exploration you could discover a simple creature that leads to a grand evolution.
Sagittarius
The early part of the week you want to get as much momentum as you can. There is a sizzle going on in your brain. Careful not to overcook it and get good sleep cycles, your dreams will be signposts for you. Not specific directions more general pointing, what I want to be is over there somewhere. Allowing some space around the definition gives the areas in your life that are ready to expand some room. It also frees up those that youve been supporting that are ready to contract. Dont flinch; nothing is drastic, moving at the speed of magma, mountains are born.
Capricorn
That chomping at the bit youve been doing since last month is about to break wide open by the end of the week. Mercury is moving forward and all those people and projects youve been waiting on have too. Its your last shot to reevaluate the true value and nature of the arenas youre putting effort into. Seeing with your oh so accurate and critical eyes look for that single line or word out of place. We know that one changed their for there can elude spell check and send a project onto the rocks. As the moon goes into cancer the end of the week is a good time for a bit of frivolous healthy fun, go ahead I know you have it in you.
Aquarius
The start of this week you should have booked a speaking tour. Instead of giggling in the corner or rolling your eyes youre now spouting prophecy and great jokes! Notice how easy people are charmed by you. Dont think the worse of us for it. We dont know all those critiques you offer yourself about yourself. In fact if you could see through our eyes youd see this revolutionary with a vibrant and creative worldview wed like to share in. With the cancer moon late in the week notice which emotion is stronger, it needs tuning and the knob is in the body/heart not the mind.
Pisces
You have a lot in your mouth that you are chewing. Its okay to spit some out on your plate if you feel like youre going to choke. Better than to swallow it whole and suffer the consequence of volatile digestion. Proper mastication ensures cellular assimilation. Use this example for your heart, enjoy each bite this week, they are offerings that tell of the whole meal. As the end of the wee approaches look for a bit of a retreat with the cancer moon your antennae of psychic ness tunes up and you may just want to turn that channel up and watch for a while.
