The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life: Transiting Moon/Sign Changes: April 17/26 (New Moon)

  • April 15 @ 10:04 am (ET) @ 7:04 am (PT) Moon moves into the sign of Aries
  • Moon is in the 4th quarter.
  • Opportunity Period: None: 
  • NOTES:
  • NEW MOON occurs on April 17th in the sign of Aries @7:52 am (ET) @ 4:52 am (PT). While the moon is just at the tail end of being in the sign of Aries, she will soon be off course as the New Moon presents her self… both Aries and Taurus (the next sign the moon moves into) traits may influence this New Moon. 
  • Aspects April 15:  The moon sees 5 aspects: Conjunctions to Mercury in Aries, Neptune in Aries and Mars in Aries. Aries is a fire sign, he doesn’t like sitting around waiting for things to happen for him, he is a pioneer, somewhat selfish and impatient, but he’s the guy you want to come to your rescue… with all this action in Aries, watch for short tempers and emotional insensitivity, accidents along with having a new found courage to go after what you want… 
  • Aspects April 16: the Sun in Aries Conjuncts with Chiron in Aries: The moon squares Jupiter in Cancer: Mars in Aries Sextiles Pluto in Aquarius: Mercury in Aries conjuncts with Neptune in Aries. (this could be a favorable conjunction as apposed to a challenging one, especially if patience is applied to all situations)

Aspects and how they affect our daily lives:

  • Conjunctions: Variable, they can present either positive or challenging events/situations and people depending on the signs and planets involved
  • Quincunx: Challenging, they can create frustrations regarding dealings with people, events or situations… the “actors” involved do not share any similarities. 
  • Opposition: Challenging, as the “actors” are at odds with each other, but with a little work and patience compromises can be made
  • Squares: Challenging, due to friction between the “actors” involved, however, friction can bring about needed change… while frustrating these little guys, can help us to grow. 
  • Sextile: Positive, the “actors” involved are happy to be together and more then happy to work together, good things are possible
  • Trine: Positive, good for chilling out, and relaxing, these guys are also happy to be together, but neither one may have the motivation to do anything, so it’s possible that nothing constructive will get done with these guys in play. 
  • All planetary movement, will affect those who have such active players (planets/signs) in their birth charts, the rest of us may feel the affects too, but to a lessor extent. However, those with opposite sign placements may also be affected by such movements, to lessor extent, but perhaps more then those who have no such personal chart placements.  

NOTE: If you kept waking up all night last night, track the New and Full Moon’s for each month and how you sleep during those times. Personally, both the New and Full Moon’s disrupt my sleep, My Ascendant is in Cancer, Cancer is ruled by the moon… 😊
