Hello Everyone,
We are enjoying some spring here in Tennessee and the trees are budding, many with blossoms on them already.  It feels good and I am ready for more of the same.  I hope you are enjoying some of this too. 
 
We have a repeat transit combination this month of Jupiter (in Capricorn) and Uranus (in Pisces), in a bit of a different aspect.  They are in a less powerful aspect than in the past but still have the potential to give some of you a bit of relief from past and current tensions and a spark of enthusiasm as well.  A dash of sudden good luck goes along with this and that is always welcome when it comes our way. May it bless many of you this month! 
 
On another note, Saturn in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn are in a trine aspect at 1 and 2 degrees all month.  I know that many of you equate the trine with ease and good stuff but that is not always the case.  It can be something negative that is just not moving or that we just can't drum up the energy to do anything about.  Trust me, there is nothing easy about the combination of Saturn and Pluto so you have my sympathy if you are caught in this quagmire this month.  Unfortunately this is going to hang around until the middle of June.  You can count on the pundits on TV to continue to give us dire news on the economy whether it is justified or not.  If it's got you down low, I suggest booking a ticket to Cancun where you can lighten up for a time at least.  The name of this transit is "what a drag". 
 
Saturn is at the same degrees that it was in last September moving back there in a retrograde motion.  (backwards silly).  He will be slowly hanging in there until the first part of June so I suggest that everyone does a flash back to see what was going on in your life at that time.  I personally had started a business project that took alot of work and organization.  Both are Saturn terms.  Having completed the initial project, I am ready to start phase 2 this month which will be a repeat of the same energy that was required last fall.  Career and work issues are common with a Saturn transit but in a general sense, anything that requires personal responsibility can come into play.  On the up side this can be very productive.  On the downside it can feel very burdensome.  The planets it is aspecting in your chart and the house it is transiting in will generally indicate how it is going to affect you personally. 
 
Venus and Mercury are swimming out of Pisces the first week of this month to join the Sun in Aries.  High energy here and great for any of you who like to do the social butterfly thing.  Organize a race or social event for your favorite cause or join a group of bikers or hikers.  It will be fun and you can make new friends while getting some much needed exercise after the long winter.  Mercury has a few things to say this first week and there is nothing wishy-washy about the way it is going to be said.  If this is you, don't under estimate the power of your words.  Venus joins up with Pluto the second week for some lust in the dust.  Looks smoldering and intense so if you can't stand the heat, stay away from the fire.  Neptune is aspecting both Mercury and Venus briefly the beginning part of this month so expect some misunderstandings where relationships are concerned.  What you think you hear may not be what the other person is trying to convey.  Ask for clarification if there is any doubt.  Don't walk around with hurt feelings, speak up and get it cleared. 
 
The New Moon is occurring on the 6th of this month at 17 Aries.  It has hard aspects from both Jupiter and Saturn.  The combination most often manifests in changes or residences or jobs and careers.  This will be setting the scene for both with the seed being planted now and the change coming later.  The Full Moon is occurring on the 20th of the month at 1 degree of Scorpio.  This picks up a hard aspect from Neptune.  There are many possibilities that can be triggered with it.  With some it may be the realization that you have been operating in a fog and need to get into a new direction.  Some will get the big aha in an intuitive or spiritual sense.  For others it may be the completion of a creative project.  Neptune energy is so elusive that we often don't realize what is actually happening.  It's just a vague feeling.  A wisp of a dream or thought. 
 
That's if for the cosmic dance this month.  On a personal note, I have started a new project on my website.  I am posting articles I have written on the astrology article page of the site.  This month's article is "The Venus Dilemma" which is all about relationships and what we can find out about ours through our charts.  I will be doing a new one each month so if there is something you would like to see addressed, email me with your suggestion.  You will find the article on the astrology article page of this site.
