Monday, Mercury returns to Aries, where the Winged Messenger had been from March 3rd – 23rd and had turned retrograde at 6* on March 13th. By next Monday, it will emerge from its retrograde shadow, and mental/intellectual energy will be at full speed ahead again, perhaps too full speed ahead in Aries, where we can get impulsive/arrogant/aggressive/argumentative with our thoughts and words. It’s as if we can get our mental rocks off by going individualist/against the grain and actually enjoy a verbal battle. This can get a bit out of hand if you or others take it too seriously and end up with grudges to settle. Venus is sesiquadrate Saturn also on Monday and this can have you feeling frustrated/upset/challenged without a current resolution by someone/others, especially those you are subordinate to or in a close relationship with. Be careful of being flippant/short with them.
Tuesday and Wednesday are relatively quiet, but the Moon begins to trigger the weekend’s Mercury/Uranus conjunction by conjuncting both on Wednesday.
Thursday the Sun ingresses into Taurus, the middle month of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, where we can welcome back in creature comforts of the growing natural world into our lives and perhaps slow down our lives a bit and smell the roses, so to speak. Just be careful about getting too lazy/passive/stubborn. Mercury’s semi-square to Jupiter helps fuel our radical Mercury/Uranus ideas too expanded levels, but we can easily find we took on too much and find ourselves frantic trying to keep commitments or being forces to admit we can’t fit it all in. We may get involved in some inspiring conversations/waxing poetic from this energy too.
Mercury’s (in a sign Mars rules) quincunx to Mars on Friday can get us into some ornery battles with others over just feeling disconnected somehow – it is likely being fueled by the oncoming Mercury/Uranus conjunction fraying our nerves by the end of the week. This is “fight for my rights” type aspect the can feed irritability with others, or perhaps just even cut off others completely from communication because it seems pointless. This does give the ability to get much mental work done if you can maintain discipline.
Saturday is a New Moon at 1* Taurus with Ceres, the Earth Mother, also conjunct it. New ideas concerning material resources and comforts, and just enjoying physical life productively may be launched this weekend, but with a practical and orderly approach. This is good for business launches. The issue with Taurus is sacrificing too much emotional contentment for material contentment, so this is an excellent time to ponder our relationship and attitude towards materials both individually and collectively. We may have to give up some materials/resources in order to find more time for true contentedness, or redefine what our idea of true wealth is. This is also an excellent time to give an honest assessment of our body’s health and our disconnection to nature. Look to the house this New Moon falls into to see where the focus of this energy will be for you – any other planets it aspects in your chart will color the flavor of it too. Earth Day is Sunday, so a great weekend to honor our planet in some way.
Sunday has two contrasting aspects. Early morning brings a Sun/Neptune sextile which is the perfect Sunday morning aspect to get in a contemplative/meditative/spiritual mood with, but the energy will quickly ratch up as we approach the exact conjunction of Mercury/Uranus this weekend. There have been some big earthquakes this past week and we may get some more this week too. This aspect puts the mind in super-overdrive and in Aries we could become quite reckless and rebellious. Electrical connections with others can get us stoked in one form or another. We may come up with some brilliant/ingenious/unique ideas now. If nothing else this should be an exciting/stimulating weekend/week – nervous systems will be strained, the mind will be wired. Be careful of talking/moving too fast and setting up accidents however.
Next week, Mercury squares up with Pluto, and the Sun will form a Grant Trine with Mars and Pluto.
