Sunday, APRIL 20

Today’s Venus-Uranus sextile brings us out of our shells and encourages our bolder, more innovative natures, socially speaking. We are most interested in all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary concerning romantic involvements, entertainment or pleasures, and financial undertakings. We may be experimenting, improvising, and trying new ways of relating to others and expressing ourselves. We could discover alternative ways to make (or spend) money.

Although somewhat detached, we’re freer with our feelings and find beauty in the unfamiliar or uncommon.

Mercury’s sextile to Pluto improves our ability to see more layers of a situation and adds an edge to the day’s energies. We might discover further information that gives us an edge or finally “see” the truth of a matter we’ve avoided. It’s a powerful time to look more deeply into a topic. We benefit from being patient and strategic in our decision-making and are willing to look beyond the surface of things.

However, the day holds a powerful, chaotic Sun-Mars square influence, and we may have difficulty settling down. While our urge to take action and make things happen is intense, we may not know how to direct this excess energy. We feel the need for more challenges, enterprise, and initiative. Reactions tend to be defensive or competitive now, and we can be averse to negotiation or compromise.

However, energy output can run high if we focus and exercise patience. This square occurs along with the Last Quarter Moon, as the Moon opposes Mars and the Sun squares it, and tempers can flare.

The Last Quarter Moon occurs as the Aquarius Moon is square to the Taurus Sun tonight, signaling a time for review and sorting rather than pushing for something new. Until the New Moon on the 27th, it’s a generally better time to tie up loose ends, take inventory, and most importantly, let go if necessary.

This period is about understanding what does and doesn’t work for us, empowering us to take control of our lives. Ideally, we channel the quarter Moon’s crisis-oriented energy into productivity.

The Moon is void from 1:22 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Saturn), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 7:22 PM EDT.
