Monday, APRIL 29

The Sun sesquiquadrate Jupiter this morning can stir up challenges with overestimation, wastefulness, and exaggeration. We may feel we can take on more than is reasonable. Ideally, however, it pushes us to improve and expand in positive ways. The Pisces Moon is compassionate and spiritual, generally encouraging an intuitive approach to the day. However, Saturn stations as it turns retrograde today, and this station can temporarily magnify all things “Saturn,” bringing a somewhat heavy energy to the day (and to this surrounding week). This week, we’re more likely to make errors until we adjust to the shift. Saturn will continue to travel in this apparent backward motion until September 18th. While Saturn is retrograde, we tend to review and question our responsibilities and commitments as opposed to dealing with them in the moment. There can be more than usual experiences of guilt and self-doubt as we internalize fears but also an excellent chance to reassess our commitments. Saturn turning retrograde in the sign of Capricorn not long after Pluto turned retrograde in the same sign can point to rather heavy, contemplative, or turning-point energy to the Capricorn area of our charts.
