Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mercury arrives in Taurus this week on April 27, a sign that wants us to slow down and enjoy life. In the first few days of this week, it’s not a time to rush forward or make decisions impulsively without weighing our options.
After spending the past couple of days in Gemini, the Moon arrives in Cancer, trading thinking and ideas for feeling and intuition. The Cancer Moon pairs well with the Taurus Sun, two signs that prefer to nest, cook, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
We start the week off with a Gemini Moon, one that may make for a busy, active Monday. A Gemini Moon needs stuff to do and craves new experiences and information. We may see a big shift later as Mercury moves to Taurus, getting us to slow down.
Welcome to Gemini Season! As of yesterday, the Sun is now in the sign of travel, education, communication, and ideas. If you know a Gemini, they tend to be chatty and curious. As a result, this is the season to try new things and make new choices.
Happy Gemini Season! We’ll be spending the next four weeks in the sign of the twins. And if you know a Gemini, you’ll know that they are curious, chatty, and restless. For the rest of us, it’s time to turn our attention to communication and learning.
Mercury arrives in Taurus and we’re starting to pull out of the Mercury Retrograde shadow! We’re still in review, looking at events and choices from early April. Do we still value the same things we did a month or so ago? Given the chance, would we choose differently?
After a short sprint through Aries, Mercury, the planet of communication and travel, arrives in Taurus today, a sign where it learns to slow down. Taurus is earthy, experiential. It likes to touch, taste, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. In Taurus Mercury gathers.
Here are a couple of things to note as we start the week. Mercury is finally in Gemini after almost twelve weeks in Taurus. The other big thing to keep in mind is that Neptune turns retrograde today. Are you feeling overly sensitive? More emotional than usual?
We’re coming off of yesterday’s argumentative face off between Mercury and Mars. Tensions may still be a touch high today, especially now that the Moon is in Virgo. We may feel overly critical, nitpicky, restless, quick to find fault in the details.
Mercury and Mars clash today. We may feel a little restless or have a need to get something off our chest. Although this placement has a history of arguments and accidents. Mercury is still in Taurus. A lot of the potential conversation today may be around value.
Just a friendly reminder that Mars is still retrograde. I’ve heard from a few of you and you’ve mentioned that things are a little sluggish or unresolved. Keep in mind that Mars is fire. It’s action, command. Any planet in retrograde doesn’t have the same energy.
Today Mercury and Pluto harmonize, giving us an opportunity to get to the heart of something. Pluto has a habit of showing us uncomfortable truths. Like a light in the dark, use today as well as the next couple of days to take a deep look at value, worth, and how our choices sabotage stability and security.
