weekly astrology forecast for creatives | April 11th to april 17th, 2022 - a need to dial down the noise, from mountains to miracles

 


 

This year's BIG aspect perfects this week - the miraculous meeting of Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces for the first time since 1856. 

 

Coming on the heels of last week's pressure-cooker Mars/Saturn and with daddy-Saturn squaring the Nodes of Fate this week, the fear/foreboding/reality checks are coming at us so fast and so furious, it's almost as if forces are hard at work to keep our attention over here while the miracle-making elixir is being handed out over there.

 

And, of course, this makes sense in a free-will system always seeking balance, but also means -

 

WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO DIAL DOWN THE NOISE/DISTRACTIONS THIS WEEK.

 

We are beyond the limits of time and space here, bending reality, going where no man/no woman has gone before (well, at least not since 1856) - let's not waste this entire week doing our taxes. Of course, taxes will be done, yada, yada, but if our focus is ONLY on the mountains/obstacles we might miss the first gentle stirrings of the MIRACULOUS NEW BEGINNING the Jupiter/Neptune is ushering in. 

 

Although this conjunction MIGHT best be appreciated in hindsight (over the next 12 years), it will be our inspirations/dreams/optimism now that create that heavenly view from our rear-view mirror later - keep this in mind. 

 

Allow time this week for inspiration, prayer/meditation, music, art, compassion, visioning, healing, nostalgia.


Let's unpack the week!

 

The BIG astrology this week includes our annual Libra Full Moon and, of course, this year's, once in our lifetime, Jupiter/Neptune conjunction in Pisces - a new story kicks off in our Pisces house with UNLIMITED POTENTIAL. There are also quite a few inconjuncts and semi-squares, so just know there will be some inconveniences. We will need to be flexible, able to adapt/adjust, see some things coming before we can actually see them coming and even then things will probably not be exactly what we are wanting.

 

That's OK. Life is a process and we are somehow miraculously right on schedule and exactly where we should be. 

 

All of us. Together.


MONDAY - Saturn squares the Nodes of Fate

TUESDAY - Jupiter conjuncts Neptune, Sun sextiles Saturn

THURSDAY - Mars enters Pisces

SATURDAY - Full Moon in Libra

 

SUNDAY - Mercury, at 28 degrees Aries (damn he is flying!) squares Pluto in Capricorn. I am repeating last week's closing aspect in this week's posting, since it might just bleed into the beginning of the work week. Tension/frustration. Secrets come out. Arguments can come out of nowhere with this one. Information can be scary/feel like 'life and death'. This might also speak of power struggles/manipulations/merged financial stresses and complicated third party situations. Our focus narrows. 

 

Later this same day, Mercury moves into Taurus, so our words/conversations may turn to our personal finances, resources, stability. We are thinking about and talking about what really matters/what we value/what we need. Communication, the flow of information can slow down and become about more practical things. This is fixed earth, so people can become more stubborn/less inclined to change their mind for the next few weeks. 

 

Note - Mercury's move into Taurus quickly follows the tension of that Pluto square - this can be an abrupt change of conversation/focus. Take care of yourself, focus on what really matters, let the rest go.

 

MONDAY - Saturn, at 22 degrees Aquarius squares the North and South Nodes of Fate, Leo Moon trines the Aries Sun at 22 degrees

 

Saturn square the Nodes (more 22 degrees!) is a crossroads/decision point. Saturn squares are reality checks, best dealt with using a grown-up voice and big-girl/boy pants. We might feel stuck/limited/challenged by authority. Keep in mind, Saturn requires hard work and patience. The way through this - besides hitching our wagon to the Taurus North Node  (SOMETHING MORE SIMPLE/PRACTICAL and less complicated/obsessive/dramatic) is that Lunar Waxing Trine - being brave/confident, following our heart, standing out by standing up and stepping into our responsibilities.

 

The Moon's trine to the Sun is this month's Waxing Trine on our way to this week's BIG Full Moon in Libra. This is about following our heart/allowing ourselves to shine. The Sun in Aries is conjunct Pallas, here is wisdom, winning strategies, direct action. Leo/Aries is brave/firey energy. Happening at master number 22 degrees as Saturn in Aquarius squares the Nodes really powers this one up. Something independent and individualistic is falling into place - take action and focus on personal goals and ambitions. Keep in mind that Saturn square, although we likely won't be able to miss it.


TUESDAY - Jupiter, at 23 degrees Pisces conjuncts Neptune, the Sun, at 23 degrees Aries sextiles Saturn


The modern and ancient rulers of Pisces meet for the first time since 1856 in the sign to start a new 12 year and 166 year cycle (yes, your dreams/inspirations now will be impacting your grandchildren!). Neptune dissolves boundaries and Jupiter expands whatever it touches, so this is UNLIMITED POTENTIAL. Magic. A mystical start. Healing. Having faith in our dreams. Reaching beyond our material circumstances. Jupiter brings luck, good fortune, expansion, optimism, confidence and GROWTH. Neptune is the power of our imagination, our intuition, our collective consciousness. The natural ruler of our 12th house/last house, Neptune is about everything that is behind us. What we can't see, what we've already done including our ancestral/past life inheritance, for reward or challenge. Things can also get all blown out of proportion with this aspect - anything that seems too good to be true or totally insurmountable would apply here. Keep an eye on what is expanding for addictive/escapist/overly idealistic clap-trap. Expect a BIG post


On the same day, the Sun moves into an opportunistic/creative, future-focused sextile to serious Saturn, also at 23 degrees (the degree of all those New Moons last year interacting with Eris in Aries). Bringing fire/air and stability/sobriety, this is the perfect follow-up aspect to the Jupiter/Neptune and happens within hours! A little bit of effort/fire goes a long way with this aspect - take action and things will fall in line. This speaks of a new goal, new course of action supported through structure/limits/authority/maybe groups. Saturn requests a serious attitude, some elbow grease and patience. Aries/Aqua speaks of individuality/independence - the new/the future.


THURSDAY - Mars enters Pisces  - at 11:05PM EDT, Mars joins the Pisces party. Mars hasn't been in Pisces in two years and should help energize our dreamy Pisces house! 

 

With all this Pisces we are going to need to rest when we can rest. Mars is kind of drifty in Pisces so we need to watch for self-sabotaging actions - drifting off purpose, losing our boundaries, escaping with another glass of wine or another Netflix marathon, taking action based on what we are seeing through our rose-colored glasses. We will muster whatever reserves we have to stay on top of things AND we are going to prioritize rest and escape somehow, too. Mars in Pisces is a good time to put energy into old things/what we have previously overlooked/not seen.
 

Keep in mind we are NOT going to be able to just push things through/do business as usual because Mars in Pisces can't push. It will be like pushing jello up a hill - nice for the guy behind us who isn't pushing and gets a delicious strawberry dessert tossed at him that he didn't have to work for - but not so nice for us; the ones doing all that PUSHING. On the other hand Mars in Pisces is excellent energy to go within, to meditate, to make art, to heal, to work with our intuition, to work with our dreams - this is the energy of the spiritual warrior, and if worked properly ie intuitively and creatively, having this active energy joining Venus and Jupiter and Neptune in miraculous Pisces is a wonderful gift for all of us at this time.


SATURDAY - Full Moon in Libra at 26 degrees


An important Full Moon focused on our relationships, fairness, balance, peace. T-Squaring Pluto in Cappy and Eris in Aries - speaks of intensity/tension/situations that feel like 'life and death', powerful endings. Secrets/what has been repressed/unconscious can come out to be SEEN. The good news with this one, Libra's ruler Venus exalted in Pisces and sextiling Mercury/Uranus. Expect the unexpected. Expect a BIG post!


xo all

 

Hope something here is helpful - back with the Jupiter/Neptune post that I have been procrastinating the hell out of  - which sort of makes sense now that think of it, plus I have a natal Jupiter/Neptune trine impacted now, really fighting the tides to sit down and write :)
