Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The New Moon this month on April 10th is in Aries, your 6th house of work, health, service and pets which bodes nicely for something new coming your way in this part of your life.  This is particularly good energy if you're looking for work.  Mars, your ancient sign ruler, and Venus are conjunct the lunation which gives it even more benefit.  Mars is raring to go and will give you plenty of motivation to pursue your goal while Venus, ruler of your 7th house of relationships as well as your 12th house of inspiration may put you in touch with the right person to make it so.  Venus is the natural ruler of love and money which I know are two personal favorites of just about everyone but especially Scorpios.  Venus is semisextile Mercury who is still hanging out in Pisces for a few more days.  Fellow Water Sign Pisces is your 5th house of ego definition, creativity, romance, children, entertainment and speculation so this placement implies some inspiration with how to present yourself in a favorable way, particularly if you're up for an interview, may give you the edge you need.

Uranus is in Aries for several years and may cause some upsets during that time but he is also the ruler of innovation, suggesting a high tech environment may be right for you.  Scorpio is the sign of Uranus' exaltation so his energy and yours mix nicely.  Uranus is in closed loop aspect with Pluto and Saturn which is worth examining for any useful clues that may assist you in advancing yourself, whether simply from the unemployment line or into that corner office you've been drooling over.  Saturn is in your sign and currently parked on your natal Sun if your birthday is right around November 2nd.  This is often a difficult transit so if you're feeling stuck, depressed and unmotivated this is likely the reason.  Saturn is currently retrograde, a time when delays are likely and boundaries as well as obstacles all around. 

While retrograde Saturn is operating at the subconscious level, stirring up something you need to restructure or rebuild.  This is a time to work on your personal image, appearance and how you present yourself.  The quincunx between Saturn and Uranus suggests that one place to look for such an endeavor relates to your work and sense of innovation.  If you or your ideas are largely ignored perhaps the problem lies in your presentation.  This is a time to consult with a close but honest friend who may be able to help you identify what it is.  Saturn is sextile Pluto, your modern sign ruler, in your 3rd house of thoughts, ideas, siblings, neighbors and local travel.  This should be a very beneficial and comfortable placement for you and can help you discern truth and if you'll excuse the expression, cut the crap.  You probably are typically a straight shooter but the real question is whether or not it's effective?  Pluto is squaring Uranus, implying that it may not be your best approach when it comes to work.  Thus, this triad can work together to help you hone your skills at communicating to get the notice, respect and benefits you want.

Pluto is also quincunx Jupiter in Gemini, your 8th house of transformations, sex, death and regeneration, debt, shared resources, things you keep hidden and intense experiences.  This is your home house since Scorpio rules this house of the zodiac.  Jupiter can help you see the big picture as well as deliver information that contributes to your overall belief system and philosophy of life.  This aspect suggests using your sense of discernment to make a few transformational changes.  Nothing can stop a Scorpio once you make up your mind so give it a shot and see where it takes you.

The Full Moon on April 25 is in your sign and conjunct your natal Sun if your birthday is right around October 29.  This lunation is also an eclipse which gives it a lot more punch which is likely to manifest primarily at the emotional level.  It's close enough to Saturn to give him a boost as well and give you tremendous emotional energy toward getting what you want.  Mars is conjunct the Sun on the other side of the zodiac in your polar sign, Taurus.  This is your 7th house of relationships which suggests emphasis and action in that part of your life.  Venus is there as well, in her dignity and nicely placed for getting along well with others.  Her trine with Pluto lends a tremendous intensity which you may project unknowingly so if people seem to be backing away from you or perhaps drawn toward you in unusual ways this could be the reason. 

Neptune is important for mitigating and balancing these energies between yourself and someone or perhaps numerous people who will be important at this time.  Remember, first of all, that the relationships covered by this house are more than just your significant other.  It also includes your close friends and relatives, business partners, business professionals and cliental.  If the Moon and Saturn are imbuing you with an overdose of scorpionic passion and you're emanating love vibes beyond the visible range, some inspiration may help you manage that either thru dissipation or perhaps converting it to a glorious sense of mystique.  This is a great time to go after what you want if it's done with care.

One more note on this eclipse, which is part of a series which began back in 1472.  According to astrologer and eclipse guru, Bernadette Brady, it's overall meaning relates to the release of tension related to some lingering situation which will finally clear.  That, to me, sounds like a good thing.
