This is a powerful week with Saturn stationing Retrograde, our New Moon in Taurus, and a lot of tension causing transits that ask for expansion and growth into new chapters of our lives. Insecurities around success and financial stability may be a big theme for a lot of this week and we will be asked to reflect on what habits are not benefiting us for our long term goals and plans.

Monday 4/29
Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces starting out the week, we may feel ungrounded and overly sensitive. This isn’t the best energy for feeling motivated and ready to tackle work. We feel more like we want to cocoon ourselves and sleep the day away and it can be hard to use our minds in a rational way.
Strong Aspects During the Day PST
Moon Sextile Sun in Taurus 9:34 AM
Nurturing our hearts and our bodies at this time is important and we benefit from fueling ourselves in comforting ways. It will be important that we move slow and not push anything too much. We are likely to feel very dreamy and connected to more fantastical realms of expression. It is important that we find a way to feed our hearts without getting lost in illusions.
Saturn stations retrograde 5:55 PM
Saturn will be retrograde until September 2019 and because it is in conjunction to our South Node in Capricorn, we as a collective will be experiencing a massive upheaval within our physical world and how it’s related to our family and our past. Our ancestral lineage and how it ties into who we are is a large theme here and we may find ourselves unpacking heavy issues we didn't know we had. However we were taught to cope with survival, success, and accomplishment in this life will be challenged during this time and we will be asked to reflect on that relationship to ourselves and the outside world. This work is being asked of us at this time so that we can finally release and let go of any karmic debt that is still binding us to the earth in unhealthy ways. Ask yourself during this retrograde, “what is holding you back from believing in your ability to develop healthy ideas around success in your life.”
Tuesday 4/30
Moon in Pisces
Moon Void of Course 2:57 PM
We continue to feel ungrounded and illusive during the day getting caught up in fantasies of what “could be.” We may be romanticizing an aspect of our lives or what we wish our lives would be like at this time. With the Moon void of course the last half of the day, it is important that we do not make any critical or important decisions at this time as we are not grounded in what is best for us during this time.
Strong Aspects During the Day PST
Moon Square Mars in Gemini 7:22 AM
We might have difficulty grounding our minds in the morning hours. There is potential for anxiety and deceptive thoughts to come into our consciousness and we benefit from not giving these thoughts any real attention or weight. We run the risk of being overly emotional or erratic in our behavior and we need to be mindful with how we express our feelings at this time.
Moon Sextile Saturn RX in Capricorn 8:34 AM
This transit allows for deep insights around our past and present physical world to come to the forefront of our minds and we may have insights to where we need to take care of more mundane and practical tasks that will put our minds at ease. It's best to try and clean your house, pay your bills, and get in front of any money or potential work that could have you stressed later. Try to avoid procrastinating on work that needs to be done today. Because Saturn is RX we might not have things go the way we had hoped, but it's best to be open to working on chipping away at the goals rather than avoiding them altogether.
Moon Sextile Pluto RX in Capricorn 1:48 PM
This transit allows for us to be more open to changes that are coming around our physical world. We may have deep insights around what parts of our routine or reality we need to let go of that are not positively influencing the direction we are going in. This is a positive time for brainstorming some new systems to put into place around our physical goals and seeing what patterns of behavior may not be in line with what we wish to do moving forward.
Moon Square Jupiter in Sagittarius 2:57 PM
Challenges around escapism and overindulgence characterize this transit and it may be harder for us that we anticipated to stick to a responsible game plan during the hours of this transit. We are likely to seek comfort in not sticking to a routine or our responsibilities and we need to be mindful with the way we indulge our need for freedom as we do not want to fall into old patterns of destructive behavior. With both Pluto and Saturn retrograde in Capricorn, the karmic consequences will be faster than they usually are if we indulge behavior we are being asked to stop at this time.
Mercury in Aries Sextile Mars in Gemini 11:38 PM
This transit allows for us to assert ourselves in a positive way during this time. This can be positive for communication dynamics in business or pushing projects forward during this time. We may enjoy debating with others on our points of view, and we will likely be more impulsive when it comes to jumping in and sharing our opinion or thought process. We are quick to initiate and assert ourselves in the days of this transit.
