Monday, APRIL 15

Mercury is conjunct and parallel Chiron today, and there can be opportunities to learn and heal through our thoughts and conversations. Mercury first aligned with Chiron on March 20th and is now returning to the aspect in retrograde motion. This transit increases our intuitive understanding and brings more sensitivity to our communications. As we return to an old problem or examine the past, we gain a new perspective. We’re more attuned than usual to communication nuances.

The First Quarter Moon occurs this afternoon when the Moon in Cancer forms a square to the Aries Sun. A crisis theme surrounds any quarter Moon phase as we feel compelled to take action. We can face obstacles now, and ideally, they’re motivating. The Moon later heads into determined, dramatic Leo at 10:24 PM EDT.

The Moon is void from 7:23 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Neptune), until the Moon enters Leo at 10:24 PM EDT.
