This Week Brings Energy for Productivity and Opportunity for Renewal

Your Weekly Astrology Forecast for April 15–21, 2019

The Christian Holy week contains a potent Full Moon, which is part of a dynamic Grand Cross, exact on Good Friday. The symbolism aligns with Easter themes of death and resurrection. The South Node is in a close conjunction with Pluto and Saturn, symbolizing completions, transformations, endings and beginnings. This is a week to ponder consciously what is ready to pass on in your life and what is ready to be born. How will you transform your life at this Easter and spring season of renewal?

Begin the Week with Positive Productivity

The Moon ingresses into industrious Virgo on Monday, April 15, Tax Day. If you still need to finish your taxes, the Virgo Moon will help you complete your filing. If your taxes are done, turn your attention to other things that need to be completed.

When the Moon is in Virgo, as it is Monday and Tuesday, it’s time to tidy up and get organized. A Moon-Uranus trine may deliver surprises. Even though you would like to be on task for cleanup, be open to diversions that demand your attention.

The practical Virgo Moon steadies a cosmically active Tuesday that sports numerous aspects, both benefic and challenging. While we may feel overextended, as well as dreamy (Moon square Jupiter and Neptune), we are able to lean into our work with a strong drive for accomplishment (Moon trine Saturn and Pluto). If you harness the abundance of energy that is available, much can be accomplished. Keep moving.

Wednesday, Mercury has moved into Aries, speeding up our thinking processes. The Moon is in cardinal, action-oriented Libra. Although Libra likes to be gracious and accommodating, and this is best done slowly, a Moon-Mars trine gets us fired up for action.

The End of the Week is for Patience and the Unexpected

Thursday the Libra Moon conjuncts Pallas Athena, highlighting our ability to combine strategy and diplomacy to address relationship concerns. The Moon squares off with the Nodes, Pluto and Saturn, a bold combination which may bring relationship issues to be addressed front and center.

Good Friday’s Full Moon is potentiated with powerful energy. This Full Moon occurs with the Sun in Aries and the Moon in Libra at 29:06, the last degree of Cardinal signs which is significant and potent. The Full Moon forms a Grand Cross with the Moon’s nodes in Cancer (North Node) and Capricorn (South Node). Pluto and Saturn conjoin the South Node, making for an extremely powerful Full Moon. Uranus conjuncts the Moon, adding the element of the unexpected. Themes of impulsiveness, crisis and transformation abound in this Full Moon. Soon after this Full Moon culmination, the Moon moves into Scorpio tropically. Go slowly and carefully.

 End Your Week with Sunny Optimism

The Sun ingresses into Taurus on Passover Saturday, slowing us down to tend to our planting for the next month. On the other hand, Venus ingresses into Aries, warming our passions. Benefic alignments of the Moon to Pluto, Saturn and Neptune make for a productive and satisfying day.

Easter Sunday is a sunny, optimistic day, brightened by the Moon’s ingress into Sagittarius and augmented by benefic trines to Venus, Chiron and Mercury, all conjunct in Aries. Hop like an Easter bunny off to an outdoor adventure.
