ASTROLOGY FOR THE WEEK OF APR 24-30 2023

MON APR 24

The Moon shifts into Cancer at 11:58 AM PST, where it forms a trine to Saturn in Pisces and sextile to the Sun in Taurus, placing a focus on stability, security, nurturing, and practicality. It can take some time for momentum to pick back up, as there can be some things that distract from core missions that need to be attended to. With Mercury retrograde and still close to Uranus, there can be unexpected surprises or a need to be innovative and adaptable, perhaps even questioning or changing up longstanding patterns. The Moon also makes a semsquare to Uranus and strong sextile to Vesta, suggesting last minute opportunities, but there’s a need to stick to routines and maintain stability or consistency of purpose and not get too thrown off by the unexpected. Tomorrow can see more momentum and forward motion.

TUES APR 25

The Moon goes on to square Chiron as well which can see a lot of sensitivity and compassion. Venus in Gemini in sextile to Chiron and trine to Hygeia places a focus on healing themes, while Mercury Rx in Taurus conjunct Uranus and square Hygeia can see people really thinking outside of the box in order to facilitate healing, and more stability.
