Venus-Neptune conjunction April 27, 2022

Facebook April 27th, 2022

By Erik M Roth of Inspiral Nexus

The Pisces archetype is continuing to be strongly activated this month and into early May.  Venus has moved into a conjunction with Neptune today at 24 degrees, 28 minutes of Pisces (sign, not constellation).

In shamanic astrology, Venus represents the feminine principle and has a resonance with the sign of Taurus.  Neptune connects us beyond 3rd-dimensional reality and “into the mystic”.  Neptune can act as a reality-dissolving agent as well.  Jupiter is fairly close at less than 3 degrees away at 27 degrees, Pisces, expanding the qualities of the Venus-Neptune conjunction.

The waning crescent Moon just finished a conjunction with Neptune, Venus and Jupiter in the early morning and on its way to big date with the Sun for a partial solar eclipse on the 30th.  The Moon’s transit by any planet activates the qualities of the sign and planet.  This means that Pisces has a potent impact in our current world and continuing over the next few days and into May as Venus also conjuncts Jupiter on the 30th.

The qualities of Pisces strongly resonate with Neptune as well and to some degree Jupiter as well.  The common thread of all of that is that of spiritual desires and ecstatic experiences (especially with Source or Creation).  This is a wonderful time period to get lost in other realities as a way to open the heart and soul beyond the complexities of the mundane.  Perhaps empathy can rise and healing can pour in?

Beyond our reality though can come unfulfilled dreams, illusions about our truths and we are truly experiencing in our life.  So this can take us away from our goals as well, but if we free ourselves from the manacles of our ego, we may end up with a broader sense of where we may strive toward.

The Morning Sky Gets Even More Amazing! April 25, 2022

 

FACEBOOK APRIL 25, 2022

The Morning sky continues to draw our attention.  This is such a special opportunity for all astrologers who love the night sky.  As the Moon will traverse the latter degrees of Aquarius and enters Pisces Monday morning, we will get to see on three consecutive mornings quite a rare and spectacular display of planetary magic.

Moon conjunct Saturn leads the way.  The exact conjunction is 4:33PM PDT at 23Aquarius55.  Monday morning before dawn, the Moon will be about 5 degrees South, below Saturn.

Mars, now well past his conjunction with Saturn, exactly conjoins the Moon on Monday at 5:51PM PDT at 8Pisces14.  Before dawn on Tuesday morning, the Moon can also be found south and below Mars.

The Fourth Chakra gate of the current Venus/Capricorn morning star over-story has the exact conjunction on Tuesday at 9:50PM PDT at 23Pisces47.  For those in North America, Wednesday morning before dawn finds the Moon just below and to the left of bright Venus.  This opens the month long portal of the Heart chakra initiation for the Sacred Feminine, for both women and men, as she descends into the Underworld (around September 16th).  Notice how close the Pisces degree is to the recent Jupiter/Neptune conjunction of April 12th (23Pisces58), which I have recently spoken and written about and can be watched here  . This is a heart opening initiatory process, with the emphasis on having the blocks to an open heart removed as much as possible.  It also presages the upcoming and even more spectacular conjunction of Venus with Jupiter on Saturday at 2:14pm PDT at 27Pisces57.  This is just mere hours before the Solar Eclipse.  Venus and Jupiter will be within one half a degree of each other, and will seem almost touching.

Lastly is the Moon’s encounter with a rapidly rising Jupiter.  It’s exact at 4:07AM PDT on Wednesday morning at 27Pisces16.  Jupiter will be about 2 degrees just above the Moon.  This is yet another emphasis on the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction, and reminds us of the eminent Venus/Jupiter conjunction.  This overall alignment also includes the conjunction of Venus with Neptune, which my colleague, Erik Roth, will be writing about.

This is quite a remarkable sequence of alignments, and not to be missed.  Whilst Neptune can be often a confusing and deceptive initiator, and in light of the increasing intensity and challenges globally now, I suggest using these three mornings to receive guidance and celestial healing from the Ananda Love of the One Reality.  May we be held in her embrace, and in surrender to Divine Providence and Mercy.  Set your intention to be with the Moon and Planets these next few mornings.

MONDAY OBSERVATIONS – April 18th, 2022

FACEBOOK APRIL 18, 2022

By Daniel Giamario

The morning sky continues to be amazing!  Don’t miss it.  Highest up is Saturn at 23Aquarius26, followed with about a 9-degree separation by Mars at 2Pisces08.  Next is Venus, just recently moving beyond its 10-degree orb with Mars, at 13Pisces26.  A rapidly rising Jupiter is now only 12 degrees from Venus at 25Pisces10.  This beautifully presages the gorgeous Venus/Jupiter conjunction on April 30th, the day of a Solar Eclipse.  These planets are like a string of gems in the morning sky, in a rare configuration.  The brightest is, of course, Venus at magnitude -4.22, followed by Jupiter at -2.07.  Saturn at 0.82 is slightly brighter than Mars shining at 0.99.  See if you can detect any difference, other than the difference in their color.

In the evening sky, Mercury, our other visible planet, should be starting to be seen, now rising in a quite good evening apparition.  Mercury is now shining at magnitude -1.14 at 13Taurus48.  It’s worth noting that at 9:51 PM PDT on Sunday night, Mercury conjoins Uranus at 13Taurus48.  Mercury is now a good 16 degrees from the Sun, having just exited its second Guardian of the Threshold phase, and now into its full Hermetic expression in the current Capricorn synodic over-story.  Since the inception of this synod, on Feb.3rd, Mercury has incorporated Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, and now Taurus into its comprehensive function of perception, cognition, and communication for global humanity.  This Hermetic phase will last until May 10, 2022.  This conjunction with Uranus brings it into alignment with the ongoing global Saturn square with Uranus.  Unusual, unexpected, and unpredictable insights powered by synchronicity are quite available just now.  Be willing to think out of the box, somewhat unusual for Taurus, nonetheless.   More about the Mercury over-story can be found here: https://shamanicastrology.com/march-equinox-2021-seminars

Last but not least is the exact square of the Sun with Pluto (a quadrature), at 8:14 AM PDT on Monday, at 28Capricorn33.  I have always allocated a three-day window to experience the intent of these categories of aspects.  The intent of Plutonian dynamic aspects is to reveal the hidden, and expose the shadow.  I often refer to this is as composting, composting all that needs composting.  This global aspect also reminds us of the ongoing United States Pluto Return.  The 246-248 year shadow material of the United States is being revealed to the world.  Can the required awareness be found to take some responsibility for this?  Our signature ThreeWorldsApproach is strongly recommended.  Denial of the shadow, personally and collectively, only compounds the challenges of these times: the convergence of at least five different time-lines in the Great Turning of the Ages.

Full Moon in Libra April 16th, 2022

By Levi Banner

The Full Moon in Libra is on April 16 at 18:55 GMT. This is the first Full Moon after the March Equinox. Therefore, in the opposite sign of the Sun in Aries.
This Full Moon is illuminating the area of the sky the Sun will be in six months from now. A couple of weeks after the September Equinox.

Libra is the sign of the other equinox and is therefore known as a sign of balance, harmony, and collaboration. It’s the archetype of a good partner, a good friend, or someone that diplomatically looks for harmony and balance in all that they do. Libra values justice, fairness, and equality.

This Full Moon is a time to bring balance to all the action and activity you might feel since the New Moon in Aries two weeks ago. This is also the culmination of the intentions you set then.

Ideally, you engage in a ceremony tonight that brings balance to the actions you’re taking to achieve your goals as well as harmony within yourself and your relationships.

You might ask yourself: How can I balance achievement and rest? How can I find more peace and harmony within? How can I better my relationships?

Ultimately, this is a time to cultivate connections, communicate clearly, and emphasize the value of relationships in your life. You might take this time to discover the balance between self and others.

Mars in Pisces – April 14/15, 2022

FACEBOOK  April 15, 2022

Mars officially enters the sign of Pisces on April 14th in the Americas and the 15th for the continents east of there.  Mars has been in Aquarius for close to six weeks or 40 days.  This ingress into the sign of Pisces marks a change in the archetypal focus from one of the mind, to one of heart and spirit.  Mars will be in Pisces until May 24th.

In Shamanic Astrology, Mars represents the archetypal masculine principle and has a general resonance with the sign of Aries.  In the natal chart, this can translate into one’s relationship with the masculine within and without.  In a mundane transit, Mars can become an active force and a catalyst for the archetype involved.

Mars activates the qualities/expressions of Pisces, meaning a general uptick for both the beneficial qualities and the shadow of the sign.  Pisces is known as the Empath/Healer archetype.  It is a highly sensitive sign to the feelings and psychic impressions around it.  Pisces has a strong general inclination to be of service in the world, motivated to give or be of help.

A beneficial way this transit can be expressed is a greater awareness of “being of service” and sensitivities through empathy and compassion without egoic bias.  This means stepping aside from the ambitions of self-interest to doing things that serve others in need.

On the other end of the sign’s spectrum is an overload of taking on too much of a burden to give or be of service, weighing down through the pressure to “save the world”.  Pisces can feel so much that it can overwhelm people that have it personally placed on their natal charts.  People can also become lost in a dream or fantasy to escape the burdens and complexities of reality.

During this period involving Mars in Pisces, we can ask ourselves how to be of help in the world.  It is more about the small things and gifts to others and communities that can make a difference.  Empathy involves awareness of how others feel and sensing into what we can do to from donating time, money and energy, to simply offering to be of support when and where it is needed.
