Today is the first quarter Moon, which is when the Sun and Moon form a right angle to each other from our perspective here on Earth. In this case, that is happening from Cancer (Moon) to Aries (Sun). It\u2019s a time to take stock of whatever you may have initiated during last week\u2019s New Moon in Aries and gently guide it forward.<\/p>\n

This is a natural turning point, which will be accentuated Friday by the Moon’s square to Uranus and opposition to Pluto. If you\u2019re feeling any inner tension, that is the signal to get a little perspective on where it\u2019s coming from and then use it as leverage if you have any decisions to make. <\/p>\n

One reason to be gentle with this forward movement is that Mercury finally stations direct next week, on Wednesday, April 4. This means that Sunday into Monday begins the \u2018storm\u2019 phase of Mercury retrograde, which happens toward either end of the cycle. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a time when potentially mixed signals \u2013 and the reactions that ensue \u2013 can be especially tricky to navigate. Mercury is in late Pisces for this station direct, so the watery storm metaphor is especially apt. Keep your ears open for intuitive messages, though you you might want to pause on taking any irreversible action on important matters prior to the station direct Wednesday morning. Action would include speaking in anger or making promises you’re not sure you can keep.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mars slowing down to its station direct on April 13 is another reason to delay making critical decisions. After these planets station you will have more perspective. Emotions could easily interfere with your sense of perspective, so take things one slow step at a time.<\/p>\n

Meantime, Venus ingresses Gemini Tuesday, opening up the earliest phase of its retrograde cycle. When Venus arrives in its new sign it’ll make squares to Neptune and then to Chiron — these are challenging aspects calling for a mindful approach to your feelings (as so many aspects seem to be saying lately). Venus square Neptune leans toward idealism, while Venus square Chiron can use intense pleasure (particularly sexual) as a way to cover hurt feelings.<\/p>\n

This will work for a while, though sooner or later you’ll have to get to the bottom of things — it may as well be sooner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
