Friday, APRIL 12

While a Venus-Saturn sextile today helps stabilize us and boosts the appeal of the ordinary and reliable, both Mars and the Sun are in hard aspect to Pluto, ramping up tensions. We’re likely to recognize the need for change but may be putting too much pressure on ourselves to make it happen, or instead, we’re doing whatever we can to dig in our heels and resist. Either way can be problematic now. Accumulated anger, emotional slush, and resentment may emerge in a disruptive manner. We’re inclined to feel at battle both with ourselves and others, as putting faith and trust in people and perhaps life itself can be difficult today. There can be a tendency to want to manipulate or connive to get what we want now. It’s better to draw upon self-control and wait things out to gain some perspective. The Moon spends the day in the sign of Cancer.

The Moon is void from 7:33 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mercury), until the Moon enters Leo the next day, Saturday, April 13th, at 3:50 AM EDT.
