What does it all mean?
- The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because the moon rules this sign.
- Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, as can be more empathetic now.
- Nurturing our loved ones seems to be at the top of our to do lists.
- Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to attempt, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home a comfortable and enjoying respite from the trials and tribulations of the outside world.
- Cooking may be fun to do now, so go ahead and try out that new recipe 😊🍜
- The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense, feel slighted or more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised though, check your facts before you “accuse”. If need be, take some time out to be on your own, read a good book or do something creative, self love can do wonders when we feel “abandoned”.
- Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the needed, helping our loved ones feel secure. Caution is advised however, not to go over board on the needy thing during this moon period, it’s can be so easy to do..🤦♀️
- A good time to do some tidy up and mini reno’s on the house.
- This may be a positive time for: Beauty treatments, Brewing beer, Buying antiques, Buying for speculation, Canning foods, Collecting on debts, Hair cut (for growth) and planting bulbs from seeds. (Note: Venus rules beauty, and she is still in retrograde motion until after the 12th)
- This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
- Moon in Cancer: (these folk really feel the influence of the moon, emotions may be close to the surface).
- Ascendant in Cancer:
- Sun in Cancer:
- Moon in the 4th house:
- Aspects to the Moon, or planets in the 4th house
- To a lessor extent, those who have personal planets in Capricorn
NOTES:
- Thursday April 3rd: While the moon is still in Taurus, be prepared for some challenges, as we see three square aspects from the Moon to: Saturn in Pisces, Venus in Pisces and Mercury in Pisces. We may be more emotionally sensitive during this time. Venus Pisces is a good fit, while Mercury Pisces, isn’t such a good fit. Communications may not go as planned…
- After the Moon enters Cancer, there is a square aspect to Neptune, who just moved into the sign of Aries. and a quincunx with Pluto in Aquarius.. Both of these aspects may present some challenges.
- Friday, April 4th: The Moon makes two aspects, a quincunx with Pluto Aquarius, in the early hours, and a square to the Sun in Aries to finish off the day. In-between, Saturn in Pisces makes a sextile to Uranus in Taurus, Mars in Cancer makes a sextile to Uranus in Cancer and a Trine to Saturn in Pisces. The beginning and end of the day may present some challenges, however, most of the day should run smoother.
- Saturday, April 5th: The moon in Cancer, squares Chiron in Aries around 10 am, she then makes a sextile to Uranus in Taurus, a trine to Saturn in Pisces, a conjunction to Mars in Cancer and a trine to Venus in Pisces, all between 3 and 4:30 pm. Finally, the Moon makes a Trine to Mercury in Pisces around supper time. The morning might be a bit rough to get through, but hopefully, by the afternoon and into the evening things should lighten up…
The Moon and Astrology
HOW IT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES…
In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :)
The Moon Void-of-Course:
There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void of Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void of Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-Course moon…
Good for Void-Of-Course Moon:
These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.
- Cancer
- Taurus
- Sagittarius
- Pisces…
Opportunity Periods
There are other periods throughout the month that are known as Opportunity Periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods. thanks to Paula Belluomini astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods and dates.
