Astrology highlights for the week of April 25^th!

 

01:13 – The inaugural episode begins by setting up the week ahead with information about the upcoming Taurus Solar Eclipse (with more coming later in the show), and details about the Lunar Nodes. They are currently in the signs of Taurus (North Node) and Scorpio (South Node).

 

04:40 – We kick it off on Monday, and the word of the day is "forgiveness." Yesterday (Sunday),  Mercury in Taurus squared Saturn in Aquarius on the fixed star Capulus – perhaps you're still feeling some of this energy today. Also, the Moon went into Pisces at 3:14am PT: How can you nurture and nourish forgiveness? Be creative as well: the Moon is quintile Uranus in Taurus!

 

08:08 – Tuesday's word of the day is "creativity." How can you be creative with your actions?

 

08:34 – The theme for Wednesday is "integrity." The Moon moves into Aries at 9:09am PT, so you might experience a boost of energy. Venus also joins Neptune in Pisces today! Watch out for being impulsive: There is the potential to agree to something you regret, or someone may promise something and not follow through with it.

 

09:49 – Thursday brings us the keyword "intensity." The Aries Moon squares Pluto – amping up your ambition and drive to get things done. Also, Mercury in Taurus trines Pluto in Capricorn, lending mental focus. Do any projects need your deep attention and strategy today?

 

10:39 – Friday's word of the day is "determination," and there are many energetic shifts today. The Sun is on the fixed star Hamal (the head of the ram), and may inspire you to take action with the fiery Moon. One piece of big news this week is that Pluto (power, transformation) stations retrograde (it appears to stop and then move backwards from our perspective on Earth), bringing intensity. (Pluto stations retrograde at 28 Capricorn and will move back to 26 Cap. Pluto stations direct on Oct. 9^th!) Mercury also moves into Gemini at 3:22 pm! And finally, the Moon moves into Taurus at 5:18 pm. Date night, anyone?

 

12:38 – Saturday's word is "curiosity," as we welcome the Solar Eclipse at 10 Taurus. A Solar Eclipse is always a New Moon: the Sun and Moon meet, beginning a new cycle, at 1:27pm PT. Celeste talks about what creates eclipses, and about this eclipse in particular. Also today, Venus and Jupiter meet at 27 Pisces in a sextile to Pluto, which is beautiful energy. Taurus and Pisces are working together today and gives us Celeste's main theme of the week: fertile ground! The asteroid Eros is also getting activated today: Where will Cupid's arrow hit?
