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 April 18th: Moon sextile Jupiter in Cancer: Mercury in Aries Sextile Pluto in Aquarius: First Aspect begins late after noon, the last aspect begins late at night (PT only)
Aspects April 19th up to Moon into Gemini: The Moon sees 2 aspects: Conjunctions to Venus in Taurus and Uranus in Taurus: First aspect begins in the early morning hours, the last aspect begins just before noon. (ET
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… 😊

The notifications will keep arriving, the deadlines will keep pressing, and the cultural narrative that busyness equals worth will continue to assert itself at every turn.
Embracing slow living in a fast-paced world is therefore not about waiting for the pace of modern life to accommodate you; it is about cultivating, within yourself and in the corners of your life, an island of genuine presence, depth, and . . .

What does it all mean?
The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because the moon is the ruler of the sign Cancer.
Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, we are more empathetic now.
We can be more nurturing when there is a cancer moon
Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do now, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home comfortable and safe
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 or feel slighted or more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised though, check your facts before you “accuse”.
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 that some of us can go over board on the needy thing during this moon period, so be careful if you don’t want to “scare” someone off…
It’s a time for cuddles, caring and good food, Enjoy..😊
This may also be 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, Can foods, Collect on debts, Hair cut (for growth) and plant bulbs from seeds.
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:
Mercury in retrograde motion: Take care with all communications… double check appointment dates… expect delays in travel, due to technology issues, weather issues and communication issues…try you very best to be patient with everyone and everything😬 … Mercury retrograde is a challenging time, that’s for sure… but it can also be a time where we can make some positive changes in our lives, and in our mindset….
if something negative keeps showing up in your life, perhaps it needs to no longer be a part of your life? 🤷♀️.. at least for the time being… look at the situation with eyes wide open… be honest with your part, and make your decision… stay stuck or wiggle free and move on?…
Mercury, is related to movement, technology, communications… and so much more… he is one of the closer planets to our planet earth, so his influence can be fairly strong…. challenge yourself this Mercury retrograde… What can you learn, how can you bring in more calm to your life…???
“Lord help me control the things that I can
help me let go of the things that I cannot control
And help me to know the difference”….. 🙏
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.
SGC gives thanks to Karen for her inspirational words, created in her “Messages from the Rose” Card Deck.
We don’t have a last name for Karen, she was one of our consignment family from when we had our physical store front, many years ago, We are grateful to have retained one deck of Karen’s cards, and we are delighted to share her positive outlook with you all.
All Roads of life in the end inevitably lead you home
It is in truth the paradox of why so many often seek to roam
When you truly understand this beyond the words or phrase
You will recognize the most porfund truth hidden in this earthly maze
You see it matters not which path you finally choose
For in the end there are no right or wrongs and no real win or lose”
Yours in wellness, Dawn
