Overview

The stellium in Taurus continues throughout the week, with the startling feature of the Sun in a conjunction aspect to Uranus. The exact conjunction takes place on April 30 or May 1^st, depending on your time zone. However, we begin to respond to this conjunction as early as Wednesday this week. Along with environmental concerns, care for land as a valued commodity gains attention. There could be sudden reversals or increases in land value, or other physical commodities. Saturn in Aquarius slows in preparation for the retrograde phase in late May, and the square aspect to Uranus in mid-June. A financial decline could last 2-3 months, while the effects tangentially could continue until the end of December. Dramatic changes in the economy could be expected over the next few months. 

Summary of Major Aspects of the Week

Wednesday April 28^th — The Moon in the final degrees of Scorpio is square aspect to Jupiter in Aquarius, an unexpected bonus may be in store for many. Although the aspect is harsh, the nature of the planet Jupiter is generally beneficent, and a square aspect to the Moon, a reflector rather than a nefarious power, could result in a beneficial outcome. A change in the social stricture, legal and financial adjustments could benefit the less privileged classes. Personal views (the Moon) become more attuned to higher standards (Aquarius), breaking down barriers of prejudice and mistrust. The Moon transits into Sagittarius and becomes energized by Mars in Cancer with a quincunx aspect. How to bring the lofty ideals down to the personal and family level may be the paradox of the day. The Moon then is quincunx aspect to the Sun and Uranus in Taurus, triggering the conjunction aspect of Sun/Uranus early, for a longer duration. Electrical and Internet outages might be one result, as frustrating incidences prevail, nothing seems to go smoothly. However, ingenuity works overtime, with Mercury sextile to Neptune in Pisces.   

Thursday April 29^th — The Moon in Sadge is sextile aspect to Saturn in Cap, a containing of energy, while the Sun approaches the conjunction aspect with Uranus in Taurus. The Moon in a quincunx aspect to Venus and Mercury in Taurus later in the day possibly indicates a religious experience or a celebrity mood especially concerning a sporting event.  The Moon in a square aspect to Neptune in Pisces brings more revelations or possible distortions. 

Friday April 30^th — The Moon in a semi-sextile aspect to Pluto retro in Cap and sextile aspect to Jupiter in Aquarius early in the day could open new possibilities as Mercury in Taurus approaches a trine aspect to Pluto. Government coalitions or new alliances could form. The Sun is partile aspect and supersedes Uranus late in the day.  We can now become more grounded in a transformative view. What was a subject of sci fi, now is part of daily life.  The Moon ingress to Capricorn with an opposition aspect to Mars in Cancer, taking us in new directions.

Saturday May 1^st — The Moon in Capricorn is trine aspect to Uranus and the Sun early in the day, pre-dawn EST, as new strategies are implemented. Mercury in Taurus is doubly approaching a trine aspect to Pluto in Cap; the partile aspect overnight or early on Sunday in the eastern hemisphere. Programs offering assistance are now in place worldwide, as the pandemic spreads to populous third world nations. If one nation is doomed, we are all doomed.

Sunday May 2^nd — The Moon is in a conjunction aspect with Pluto in Cap early in the day, and Mercury is in a trine aspect to the pair, while an exponential growth of transmission engulfs India and nations in Africa. Mercury makes a square aspect to Jupiter in Aquarius soon after, while Venus in Taurus is in a sextile aspect to Neptune in Pisces. The world-wide information network gathers data informing and offering assistance.  The Sun in Taurus and in a square aspect to Saturn in Aquarius afflicts the people of the 3^rd world or world-wide tragically, and limits the power of nations to provide basic needs.

Monday May 3^rd — The Moon in Capricorn makes a conjunction aspect with Saturn and the pair is square aspect to the Sun at the third quarter soli-lunar phase (see image above). Venus in a separating sextile aspect to Neptune, and Mercury in a separating square aspect to Jupiter in Aquarius, as the stellium in Taurus persists, as channels of information and care subside. Mercury makes the ingress to Gemini, a sign of Mercury’s rulership. Information channels speed to recover error or provide assistance. Jupiter is sextile aspect to Ceres in Aries, helping to restore bountiful corps. Environmental projects gain adherents in the younger generations.

Tuesday May 4^th — The Moon in Aquarius makes a square aspect to Venus before reaching the conjunction aspect to Jupiter, bringing the two benefics closer in a square aspect, as outreach to help control the pandemic and aid the suffering worldwide gains in power. Speed and efficiency are needed to avert a profound tragedy. Venus in Taurus approaches a trine aspect to Pluto in Capricorn as universal appeals are made. It takes such a tragedy to draw the people and the nations together in universal understanding.
