What’s it all about? Donations of bikes are sent to Health Surveillance Assistants in the community of Malawi, Africa: The Health Surveillance Assistants travel between villages, usually by foot as there is no transportation available. The villages are not always close to one another, sometimes kilometers apart. The bikes help the assistants to do their jobs quicker and safer.

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-off-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 off 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 off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon…
Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:
These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.
Cancer
Taurus
Sagittarius
Pisces…
Opportunity Periods (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):
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.

Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury.
We may find we are trying to do multiple things at once, which may not go exactly as we may have planned.
Could be lots of chit chatting going on, and some of us may have to make a concerted effort to listen instead of chat.
Caution is advised when doing up letters, emails and relaying messages, as much as we may think we have it right, it’s better to check one more time
In the 8th house: Watch out for possessive or jealous feelings when dealing with personal relationships. Our emotions can be more intense now indicating we may feel that more is going on than is really going on. Use any excess energy for sorting through items you no longer need, set up your donation pile and your garbage pile and set to it… :)
In the 9th house: This can be a good time to finish up a study session, or to begin a new one. We want to expand our minds now, so go ahead, but take care not to carried away. Travel may beckon us, go if you can, if not check out a fabulous travel show on t.v. Routines may get a shake up, those of us who need a routine to stay focused could be feeling emotionally out of sorts for the next couple of days.
It’s a good time to get those lists and notes made up… we can feel good about putting pen to paper now.
Boredom may be at our door step and we may feel more restless than usual.
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. And those who have strong Scorpio or Sagittarius placings in their charts.

House(s): 6th 7 7th: 6th House of service, health, duty. 7th house of relationships.
Opportunity Period: April 18 2:27 pm (ET) 11:27 am (PT) to 3:27 pm (ET) 12:27 pm (PT). A good time to start a project or begin forward movement
What does it all mean?
Aries is action, he is the most masculine of the Zodiac signs as he is ruled by the planet Mars
We should have slightly more get up and go when the moon is in Aries
We are happy to defend our loved ones
We are apt to speak up more, even those of us who consider themselves to be “timid” can find the voice they need right now.
May be a good time to get your message across or to ask for what you need
Be careful when driving especially when upset or angry
We may be more susceptible to head injuries or head aches
We could be eager to start projects now, however, we have just experienced a full moon, (time to finish up) so if you really want to start something now, choose something small… :)
Be careful about while engaging in physical activities, we may feel stronger or more “heroic” at the moment but our bodies might not be in the same “zone” :)
We may be more decisive than usual, as always use caution …
Be careful about saying yes to everything right now, we might feel like we can handle more, but when the time comes we could be sorry we took on so much at once.
Being healthy and feeling good so we can help others, or at the very least get our chores done may be on the agenda for the next few days.
In the 6th house: Being of service to others may come easier than usual, some of us may actually enjoy it. work can be more fulfilling but take care not to take on too much at once. We may find time spent with our pets more relaxing. If you are feeling stressed, go out for a nice relaxing walk, it will ease your mind and it’s good for the body too.
In the 7th house: The desire for harmony in our relationship is strong, so take care who you chose as your alliances, both in your personal and business world. Being in comfortable surroundings with soft lights and colors is an easy way to de-stress and chill out.
Adults with a strong mars or Aries influence may be acting more like children than adults.
Some of us could be more insensitive or appear more selfish to others.
If you aren’t looking to enlarge your family right now, take care, Aries has a lot of sexual energy to utilize… ;)
The Moon in Aries will have a slight effect on all of us, but it will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts: Along with those who have a strong Virgo or Libra placement in their charts
