If you can’t find the email, please reach out to me and I will email it again \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Monday<\/strong>, the Moon<\/em> remains in detail-oriented, practical<\/em> Virgo until 5:16pm EDT<\/strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time\/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.<\/p>\n Health might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<\/p>\n Monday morning<\/strong>, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in Virgo<\/strong> makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in Capricorn<\/strong>. Virgo<\/strong> and Capricorn<\/strong> are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support our long-term goals.<\/p>\n Monday at 9:29am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for almost 8 hours until 5:16pm EDT. <\/strong>Use this intuitive time to clarify what’s important to you. Ask yourself: What works for me in my daily routines? What doesn’t? What are my expectations or attitudes towards those things? What new vantage point might show me how to easily implement my business goals?<\/p>\n As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning until the late afternoon ahead of time.<\/p>\n Monday at 5:16pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra,<\/strong><\/em> where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. <\/strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<\/p>\n We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.<\/p>\n We may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” \ud83d\ude09 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact Tuesday late evening<\/em>).<\/p>\n Monday evening:<\/strong>\u00a0we feel harmonious connections, even though we are focused on…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER?

Get the whole Forecast — as well as other awesome and exclusive content — become a <\/strong>site member<\/strong><\/a> (still, for the price of a cappuccino!) \ud83d\ude09<\/strong><\/p>\n *** Monday evening:<\/strong>\u00a0we sense harmonious connections even though we are focused on making progress. Where our visions for the future are concerned, we are invited to bring a new level of authenticity, and make realistic choices around connecting with others.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tuesday is a BIG day! <\/strong>astrologically speaking…., the Moon<\/em> remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra <\/strong><\/em>all day <\/strong>(see Monday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday afternoon,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>a challenging Mars\/Uranus aspect\u00a0<\/em>becomes exact at 2:50pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Thursday evening\u00a0<\/strong>(April 2nd)\u00a0<\/strong>on<\/strong>; and it will remain strong until Sunday morning <\/strong>(April 12th). Uranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues\u00a0emotional challenges, while outer “reality”\u00a0demands we change course.<\/p>\n On the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn’t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out \ud83d\ude09 Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<\/p>\n Accidents\u00a0are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing!<\/p>\n Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in 2-9 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo<\/strong>, or\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday late afternoon\/early evening, <\/strong>an opportune<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>Mercury\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect build from\u00a0Monday morning<\/strong> on<\/strong>; and it will remain strong until Wednesday night. <\/strong> It’s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren’t on “automatic”… we have to go after them, realize them.<\/p>\n What might become possible if we softened our focus on manifesting something that helps us feel empowered? What if allowing “feeling out of control” was an opportunity to transform our lives? What if it led us to a more empowered and passionate place? What if we trusted that journey 5% more?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 23-27 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn,<\/strong> Taurus <\/strong>or Scorpio<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or Scorpio<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday late evening, <\/strong>an opportune<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>Mercury\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 10:20pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect build from\u00a0Monday <\/strong>on<\/strong>; and it will remain strong until Thursday<\/strong>. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism — we share what’s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.<\/p>\n This connection also creates a possibility of expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more “philosophical” and open to learning.<\/p>\n As with any opportunity, we have to “take” it — it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the heart-mind connection? Is there a new mental or spiritual process that is asking to be put to use?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus<\/strong>, or Scorpio<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong> (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).<\/em><\/p>\n Also, Tuesday late evening, at 10:35pm EDT, <\/strong>the Full Moon in almost 19 degrees of Libra<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the relevant Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.<\/p>\n This Full Moon has heightened\u00a0effects on us for two important reasons: first, it is another SuperMoon<\/i> (i.e. the\u00a0Moon\u00a0is at its closest distance to the Earth); secondly, Pluto is exalted and conjunct Jupiter<\/i> in Capricorn<\/b>, and in a square aspect to the Full Moon<\/i>! All of this increases emotionality and fosters larger shifts in consciousness.<\/p>\n There are lots of other aspects in this Full Moon chart as well, and we will address all of them in a moment; and if you are a Member of my online community, feel free to also watch my Full Moon video here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n On Monday afternoon, the Moon entered Libra<\/b>; this started the energetic build up towards the Full Moon<\/i>\u00a0— and 29 hours later<\/i>,\u00a0the Sun in\u00a0<\/i>Aries<\/i><\/b>\u00a0opposes the Moon<\/i>\u00a0in <\/i>Libra.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Ask yourself<\/b>: How far have I come with the Intentions I set around March 24th\u2019s New Moon? If I’m not where I’d like to be with those intentions, what new course might take me closer to my goals?<\/p>\n The\u00a0Libra-Aries polarity<\/b>\u00a0highlights the spiritual dance between various polarities:\u00a0individual drives or goals and one-on-one relationships, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\u00a0Whether we are single or partnered, we are all in relationship to someone — any one-on-one relationship counts here — business, personal, health-related, etc.<\/p>\n For the next two weeks<\/b>, we seek… to read the whole Full Moon article click here<\/strong><\/a>, and get all your Full Moon Coaching Questions!<\/strong><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Libra, Aries, Capricorn<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong>? If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon<\/em> remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking<\/em> Libra<\/em> until 4:17pm EDT <\/strong>(see Monday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday at 8:50am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts\u00a0 for\u00a0 almost 7.5 hours until 4:17pm EDT. <\/strong>Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.<\/p>\n As best as you can, look to expand your perspectives around any long-term goals you are currently pursuing, and find ways to create win-win outcomes for your various one-on-one relationships.<\/p>\n As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to\u00a0 plan Wednesday morning until the afternoon ahead of time.<\/p>\n Wednesday early afternoon<\/strong>, an opportune Mars\/Chiron<\/em> aspect becomes exact This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: What if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections? Where do I need to take a stand? A risk? A chance? All while allowing myself to be fully human?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, <\/strong>or Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries<\/strong> (Mars rules Aries).<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday at 4:17pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio,<\/strong><\/em> where it will journey until Friday late afternoon<\/strong>. We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.<\/p>\n The Moon in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s therefore an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.<\/p>\n Moon in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so\u00a0as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.<\/p>\n Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s\u00a0ultimately what disempowers us and others.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thursday, <\/strong>\u00a0the Moon <\/em>remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio <\/strong><\/em>all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Thursday very early morning,<\/strong> we are invited to make some inner adjustments: we feel uneasy or awkward, and need to make a choice — a choice that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: On the one hand, we have the urge to go deeper and connect with others; on the other hand,\u00a0we are more aware of triggers and limitations connected to old childhood wounds.<\/p>\n As best as you can, be compassionate and understanding with yourself when feelings of anger come up (and even if shame follows expressions of that anger). Ask yourself: How might 5% more compassion support my relationship with myself and others today?<\/p>\n Starting Thursday, at 4:45pm EDT<\/strong>, Venus enters her Shadow phase<\/em>, as she reaches a little over 5 degrees of Gemini<\/strong><\/em>. This marks the beginning of her pre-Retrograde Shadow phase, that will last until May 13th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n During a \u201cretrograde\u201d, a planet appears to reverse its normal direction through the sky. Astrologers refer to the period immediately before and after a planet\u2019s Retrograde phase as the \u201cShadow phases\u201d; at these times, the planet travels through the degrees of a sign that it will later revisit during the Retrograde phase.<\/p>\n Venus is usually in its Shadow for about five weeks prior to a Retrograde, and five weeks after. This gives us a chance to reassess our values, relationships, and finances, so look carefully at whatever shows up in those areas of your life during the Shadow phases — you will get a chance to readdress those issues during the Venus Retrograde phase (May 13th – June 25th).<\/strong><\/p>\n Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Libra<\/strong>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 3 – 23 degrees of Thursday late evening, <\/strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving, trusting the process and going with the flow are key!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Friday<\/strong>, the Moon<\/em> remains in passionate, all-or-nothing<\/em> Scorpio until 4:35pm EDT <\/strong>(see Wednesday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Friday at 3:35pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for an hour until 4:35pm EDT. <\/strong>Use this intuitive time to experience a sense of ease and flow. As best as you can, slow down and allow our feelings to come through. Communicate from the heart and make deeper emotional connections with others.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/staging.astrologercoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Astrologer-Coach-Sonja-Francis-action-adult-art-beauty-267961.jpg\")

Monday, April 6th:<\/h3>\n
\n[wcm_restrict]<\/p>\nTuesday, April 7th:<\/h3>\n
<\/del>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires, and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<\/p>\n<\/del>This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it.<\/p>\nWednesday, April 8th:<\/h3>\n
<\/del> at 1:24pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday<\/strong> (April 5th) on; and it will remain strong until this Friday evening. <\/strong>This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.<\/p>\nThursday, April 9th:<\/h3>\n
<\/del> Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo <\/strong>or Pisces?<\/strong> If so, you are more affected by this Shadow phase and the upcoming Retrograde phase.<\/em><\/p>\nFriday April 10th:<\/h3>\n
