On Saturday, April 12, there is a First Quarter Moon in Cancer-Aries. Moon in Cancer, Sun in Aries.

[Moon at 23 Cancer 13 :: Sun at 23 Aries 13 :: Ceres at 5 Gemini 23]

The Moon is in its home sign of Cancer. The Sun is comfortable in Aries. And Asteroid Ceres is in Gemini– semisquare both the Sun and Moon, and thereby on the Sun/Moon midpoint. The rulers of the Quarter Moon, Mars and the Moon, are in a (separating) conjunction in Cancer.

This is an energetic but sensitive time. You can feel volatile– able to either blow up or feel the joy of friends and family. You want to get out there and have FUN, but your feelings can get hurt or you can be insensitive, even if you’re 100% innocent.

How hard are you working to nurture and support others? Are you giving more than you can sustain?

If you’re not getting the positive responses you hoped for, how can you improve your communication style to be more balanced, to express your positive feelings as well as your complaints. Coming cross as either too pushy or too easy can make others uncomfortable and bring on more aggression, whether or not you thought you asked for it.

The pace can be fast and there can be quick decisions you will have to make that can influence your future.

Yet, you can’t write off the support of friends and lovers. Life without them would be far less satisfying. So even when family life and commitments seem irritating, when their pace is slower than you’re going, and when you disagree with their ideas, it can also help to realize the value of sharing and affection in your life.

If you can be in control of any “fighting spirit” that may be aroused by rude drivers, fuming family members, or loud neighbors, getting beyond automatic defensive responses will help you enjoy the weekend– and your family.

On Wednesday, the Moon made a fast-moving Grand Trine to Jupiter and Saturn.

Jupiter and Saturn are trine in Capricorn and Virgo. And they are both trine Ceres in Taurus, creating a Grand Trine in Earth.

This Earth Grand Trine is about being practical and about honoring the Great Mother. This Grand Trine is about valuing the connections and relationships that keep you solvent, put food on your table, and pay the rent.

You can feel motivated to collect the materials and tools you need to build a more secure future. And you can do that by building on what is already there instead of reinventing the wheel right now.

This Grand Trine can find you running in circles to get as many things as you possibly can. And this can keep feeding on itself, and you can wind up spending a large sum on lots of stuff.

Or– you can make a commitment, put on blinders, and work towards a specific goal that has MEANING for you. If there is something you want to do that would benefit you professionally, now and in the future, this is an ideal time to take the steps, no matter how many, do it.

the Jupiter and Saturn trine (exact on on Monday, January 21) began almost a year ago, and Monday is the 3rd and last time they will be exactly trine. This shows a conservative trend, both politically and spiritually.

Ideally, you would spend some hard-earned money on tools, materials, and/or education that will provide opportunities for you, your family, and the world. You CAN do it! And you probably already know exactly what to do.

If you feel that you’re procrastinating, this Earth Trine can remind you that may be too comfy in your comfort zone to make a move that would further your growth and support your family. What opportunities are you overlooking because it would take too much time and seems too complicated? This is an opportunity to slowly, methodically, and thoroughly study, explore, and practice until you achieve a level of professional mastery.

in Love&Light,
