Saturday, APRIL 26

Mars opposite Pluto brings intense energy that tests our limits. This transit first formed in November and later occurred in early January while Mars was retrograde. This third and final perfection in the set can bring matters of trust to breaking or turning points. It can be a time of retaliations, confronting betrayals, struggles for control or power, and overcoming obstacles.

With this transit in play, we should watch for succumbing to unhealthy impulses or wanting to get our way at all costs. Pushiness tends to meet with stubborn resistance now–there may be a contest of wills. There can be a feeling that external circumstances are undermining our personal power.

However, as we deal with these issues, we may get in touch with our internal motivations. Outside forces can remind us of our need to take better charge of our lives, but shortcuts to gaining control will not work as we’d like.

This transit can bring a tricky or buried issue to a head, and there can be final word on a matter that first emerged in late October/early November. It would be wise to observe whatever powerful feelings that confrontations or conflicts stir under this influence, as a Mars-Pluto opposition has a way of pulling out suppressed matter or emotional “slush.” All in all, this frustrated energy may lead to a greater understanding if we play our cards right.

Today’s Aries Moon is a pioneering, action-oriented influence. With its harmony with Jupiter and alignment with Chiron, we find it natural to gravitate toward satisfying, healing activities. We’re asserting our needs more easily than usual today.

The Moon is void from 12:19 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Taurus the next day, Sunday, April 27th, at 3:18 AM EDT.
