Aries

April invites you to focus on your Relationships and one on one connections. This month’s Full Moon in Libra shines brightly on your one on one relationships. Allow this ripening and maturation to feed both sides of the equation. This only occurs once a year, the next 6 months focus is on releasing or letting go of any negative aspects or traits.

Taurus

Aprils New Moon in Taurus is the perfect time to focus on yourself by creating rebellious acts of Self-Love. The New Moon snuggling up to Uranus, a planet all about revolution and changes.  Are there any secrets you been harbouring, any acts of nurturing, self-worth building and love, you would like to explore? If so, don’t be surprised it the impetus is suddenly upon you.

Gemini

With Venus spending four months in your sign instead of its usual one month, Venus is front and centre in grabbing your attention. Venus brings together, allows pleasures and harmonizes people and connections. The Venus retrograde (in May) slows things down and turns things inside out. This month the real focus is on Venus, and what she means to you. Is Venus bringing all that you really desire your way? Are all your relationships healthy? Focus on that.

Cancer

The 12thHouse is a private and very personal space, Venus focusing her energy there for the next four months, stirs up some deep waters. Venus is pleasure and she has a binding affect, a drawing together. Focusing in on what your deepest desires are, and what you want to attract, from your deepest and most personal space. This is April’s focus is for you, don’t be fooled into thinking it’s a passing inquiry.

Leo

Leo’s love to engage and are social creatures at heart. This April Venus in your social house, for four months, instead of the usual one month prolongs your focus. Venus loves to bring together and engage, April begins a long focus and assessment on this. This month’s focus is about going out, enjoying the company of others and social groups and engagements. If something isn’t pushing your buttons, follow that thread. It’s vital information, for the months to come.

Virgo
April’s focus is on your Career and Reputation at large. Venus love to bring blessings and attract helpful people to your world. April begins this energetic focus, as she spends four months instead of one month, in your Career sector. Your Focus, to enjoy any gifts, offers or compliments. However, any doubts, niggling suspicious or not quite right feelings … follow it, as Venus is evolving. It’s not as clear cut as it might appear at first.

Libra

Mercury enters your opposing sign of Aries in April, after months of being stuck in Pisces, a water sign. Mercury in Aries allows you to focus on clear, passionate, innovative and directive communications with your Partners and those you have a One on One Relationship with. After feeling like so much misunderstanding or confusion, Mercury in Aries, allows you to be clear and decisive of what you want in Relationships, focus on that!

Scorpio

April’s New Moon occurs in your 7thhouse of relationships, it’s a wonderful time to focus on letting go of any old baggage from the past year and clean the slate to draw in more aligned partnerships. Uranus being involved could make it much easier than anticipated. Venus moves into your house of resources and other people’s money, where it will stay focused for the next four months. Do proceed with caution, any large investments with people or any loans from April, might end up being more complicated that initially intended.

Sagittarius

The New Moon in April offers new focus or opportunity around your health, fitness, daily routine as it pertains to daily routine. As Uranus is involved, it might help revolutionised your day to day living or come out of nowhere. Small changes can have big impacts.  Venus moving into your Relationship house for four months means, your relationships are evolving.

Capricorn

April sees Mars enter your Money house, focusing on your Money and what you do with it is very important this month. Mars can see your money disappear as quickly as you earn it. Venus begins a long elaborate journey through your health and work sector. Focusing on your day-to-day routine, will help signal where any changes need to be made. This is a longer journey, than initially expected. Focus on physical and mental wellbeing as the end result

Aquarius

The New Moon next to Uranus, a planet whose focus is to change and individuate, occurs in your Home, Family, Ancestor sectors. This is a yearly event, to help clean the slate and re-focus your relationship to your Home and Family. Mars is visible to all, as your motivation and actions make your intentions clear. Focus on individuation and using your strength and determination to move you forwards.

Pisces

Venus makes her presence felt around your Family, Home and Ancestors. It’s an intensive focus which lasts four months, instead of the usual one. Focusing on this area of life will help bring through what is being asked to be born, built or accepted. Mars activates your subconscious and private sectors. It is important to not brush aside fears or stresses that arise. Mars is about stirring and ending. Ending any stress or anxiety is positive, although its focus might be unpleasant. Focus on the irradiation, not the process.

Mars Saturn in Aquarius 2020

Mars moves into Aquarius today, moving away from the sign and degree of his Exaltation, where he wields his strength with great force and valour. Mars always ignites, inflames or aggravates all that he touches, and his recent transit of Capricorn especially highlights this.

Moving through Capricorn making aspects to Pluto (Profound Evolution and Change), Jupiter (expansion and optimism) & The Nodes, any triggers weren’t light on impact.  Jupiter this time around, hasn’t helped, with no ability to pull down the malefic nature of it all, due to it being in such a downtrodden and Ill effective position.  The Nodes, also present on this axis, just doubles down on the magnitude and gravitas of it all. Mars in Capricorn during 2020 has showed just how fast moving and troublesome, he can really be.

When Mars moves into Aquarius, is a mixed blessing. He is finally moving away from a heavy concentration of confronting energy in Capricorn, which is goes about the cold and clinical ways of doing its business. Mars moving away from this hot mess in Capricorn, is good. But it has 2 last showdowns to complete, and perhaps one of the most powerful.

31stMarch is when the 2 malefic finally meet. Mars conjoining Saturn in Aquarius at 0 degrees. Mars has been chasing down Saturn to make the conjunction since his entry into Capricorn. Mars is quick volatility, Saturn is slower, but fear inducing and consequential. I personally prefer my Conquences to not be delivers at pace, but this is how this duo rolls. It’s a volatile combo who can easily manifest in ways that are challenging individually and collectively.

In 2020 Mars and Saturn are connected to each other for 12 weeks instead of the usual 6 weeks. We are currently at the halfway point. Mars moving into Aquarius will in some ways bring down the high intensity a notch, seeing its fricative nature being applied in a different yet still challenging way, until mid-May.

As these 2 planets separate by 7thApril, this is when Mars Squares Uranus hot on the heels of its Saturn conjunction. This adds a very unpredictive and reactionary quality to early April. It is not until Mars enters Pisces mid-May, that we will begin to see an easing of the intense pressure and speed to which these once in a lifetime events that are unfolding.  Will it all be over then, no, but we will be able to begin to process the gravity or gravitas of our current situation, with less volatility and fear. Individually and collectively.

As Mars enters Aquarius, Mercury also clears its retrograde shadow. Moving from its incredibly murky and haze ridden retrograde, will help. Beginning to detangle some of the events that have happened at great speed since mid-February. Finally discovering what lays beneath the ashes. Beginning to understand the position we find ourselves…

Saturn into Aquarius : Anything is possible

22 March 2020 at 1500 AEST, Saturn ingresses into Aquarius, for the first time since early 1994, beginning a new Saturn Cycle. March 22ndoffers us a 3-month introduction, before it goes back into Capricorn, before the final ingress into Aquarius in Dec 2020, where it will stay for 3 years.

Historically Saturn in Aquarius seems to bring large technological changes and brings marginalized groups strongly into focus and frame. 22 March – 2nd July 2020 will give an insight into where the challenge is to evolve over the next 3.5 years. Remembering, that Saturn is the traditional ruler of Aquarius. Saturn’s traditional rulership makes it strong in Aquarius, helping it carry through or alter any work established in Capricorn. But extending it via the Aquarius lens. Saturn gives these two signs a commonality, it is how they express it which leads to their difference.

The last time Saturn was in Aquarius, we saw the deconstruction of the USSR (26 December 1991 at 2 degrees of Aquarius)  . Allowing independent states, who were always ethnically and culturally different, gain independence from the Communist banner of the USSR. Also, a thing called “The Worldwide Web”  aka The Internet was for the first time, introduced to the public for mass consumption. Yes, the Internet is having its Saturn return. With so much going on right now in the world, seeing Saturn shift from a heavy and more private / Yin earth sign into a masculine and detached Air sign, may offer some small relief.  Having the elemental shift from a loaded Earth sign to Air, breathes life and ideas into an atmosphere, which has been so heavily dominated by earth for the past 2 years. Positive for our Air folk. (Libra, Aquarius and Gemini). Innovation is also very much an Aquarius theme.  Saturn’s ingress into Air, frees up some of the rigid obstacles and challenged  we currently face.

With regards to the current situation in Australia at least. I wouldn’t be surprised at its ingress, if the Australian Government, closes down the state boarders and air travel to help contain the movement of Covit 19. Governments restricting the movements of its people, to help protect the safety of our broader community. Saturn (restriction and government law) Aquarius (the community and groups.) We have already seen and will most likely see more financial protections for people who are financially marginalized/exposed in the community, by this pandemic. This protection may expand to groups who have been previously exclude, due to the threats being so serious, and unprecedented.

Saturn in Aquarius tomorrow, it may see some revolutionary and new inventive strategies to help stem this building Covit 19 pandemic.  Only time will tell, with regards to what and how Saturn in Aquarius will present, but boy what a time to come to the party.

Sun into Aries : Raging against the dying of the light

~ Sarah Murphy ~ Leave a comment

Screen Shot 2020-03-20 at 1.20.12 pm

20th March 2020 @ 1450 AEST we see the Aries Ingress or Autumn Equinox. This marks the Astrological New Year, the first turn of the 2020 wheel where both day and night are equal. The Equinox occurs on Venus’ day, in Venus’ hour, as Venus is in her exaltation in Taurus. This gives some hope and a small beacon of optimism for this challenging Autumn season. It also encourages and emphasis the need for heightened self-nurture and nourishment by simple methods. Diet is important, physical and metal self-care is essential as we face intense challenges entering the Autumn and Winter Months.

The Sun’s shift into exalted Aries, we can begin to really take charge of our health and the wellbeing of those around us and love. Mars its ruler, is also in a strong position in Capricorn, making today a wonderful time to forward plan to the Winter solstice. Things are  changing by the day, we might not know what the next day, week, month will bring. But at this Aries Ingress, as we honour the moving of the light balances into darkness, let’s not forget, we have the power to look after each other at such a dark time. Let the Sun’s ingress into Aries, be a reminder of this. Look after each other and please be safe, keep isolated as much as you can.

May the Sun’s light as it enters Aries, help guide us along our way, and we move into the challenging and uncertain times ahead. Light is a powerful thing, where virus struggle to survive. So, remember to keep your lights on full beam,  as we make our first steps towards the darkness.

Full Moon in Virgo & Mercury Direct

The Full Moon in Virgo occurs on March 9/10, as its Ruler, Mercury stations direct later that day. When the Full Moon in Virgo & Mercury Direct go hand in hand. This helps establish a rational structure, within all the confusion that comes with a Mercury being retrograde in Pisces. The Sun conjoining Neptune at this Full Lunation, combined with Mercury’s retrograde, creates a wonderful space for dreaming, creativity, multidimension thought processes, but for clarity and clear conscious thought, not so much.

The Virgo Full Moon offers an anchor to ground, amongst all the confusion, dis-illusion, fragmented thoughts and blurring of the edges. The Virgo Moon’s analysis looks, for the finer details and discerns with a very sharp eye. Corona Virus seems to be the current focus of the world’s attention, most of this retrograde. This Full Moon offers concise, grounded and clearer analysis of what has been fogging up the newsfeeds. From panic buying, to takes on power and control mechanisms and conspiracy theories. Rather than looking at the facts. This is a new virus, that we don’t understand, and one we seek to understand.

The Virgo Full Moon offers some reasonable and logical space for us to stand amongst all the dividing and delusionary takes currently on offer. With the Moon in Virgo and Mercury turning direct, may this be the pivot point; invoking the power of rational thought and reason calling it back from the deep yonder. Allowing us to find out way out of the fog, for greater clarity and allow for more rational and informed information to come to the forefront. Putting aside all the misinformation, the mis-informed, the slightly informed, and the not informed. Why? so we can work with real information, to help keep our most vulnerable healthy. Remembering amongst all of significations of Mercury, he is also the Scientist and the Doctor & Virgo does have a good pre-occupation with health, thanks to Mercury, its rulers significations.

Venus in Taurus : The Empress Crowned

Today marks Venus moving into Taurus, for a month-long transit in the sign it rules, Taurus. Venus, is in a challenging aspect for a lot of 2020, with March being the best month for Venus type elections and themes. Venus in Taurus has its focus on nourishment via food, bodily nurture, investment or acquisition of Venus type products (Art, Jewellery, Beauty Products, Food appliances etc), as well engaging in activities that bring great joy and connectivity. Where Libra is more social and external in its Venus significations; Taurus is more grounded, homely, private or yin focused. Venus in Taurus is more private, with an internal focus in its manifestation.

During March, Venus while in Taurus, will have helpful aspects to Mars and Jupiter, which allows opportunity and joyous situations, to have that extra synergy, with lots of vigour. March is the month to really push any Venus type goals or engagements. Why? in April, Venus begin it’s 4-month transit in Gemini due to its retrograde, (usually it’s a month-long transit) which will give Venus a more analytical and busy focus, less relaxation, busier and more flustered. There will be frustrations and delays in group activities, engagements, or Venus type aims. Not great for a planet whose focus is to bring things together, and harmonizing. Post the retrograde, Mars & Saturn comes into play to create challenging aspects to her. Short answer, March is the month to really step-back and work the pleasures at play. #thebrujamix # Luminaryastro #luminaryastrology #VenusinTaurus#Venustransits #astrology #aries #taurus #gemini#cancer #leo #virgo #libra #scorpio #sagitarrius#capricorn #aquarius #pisces ❤️🌹🧚‍♀️💪👌🙌🏽🐿💫
