1 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,759 your host Alice Bell in today's Monday, April twenty eighth. 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,800 Happy Monday, everyone, I hope you all had a good 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,679 new moon in Taurus. I am recording this ahead of 5 00:00:17,839 --> 00:00:19,399 that new moon, but I just want to say how 6 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,760 much I love Tourist season. It's truly the best zodiac season. 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,199 It's the time of the year where I'm the most present. 8 00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:30,679 I love life. I feel like I spend the remaining 9 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,320 eleven months out of the year just waiting for Taurus 10 00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:36,079 season to come back around, and I'm so jealous of 11 00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:38,679 everyone who has a birthday at this time of year 12 00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:43,719 because it's just so beautiful outside. I also love how 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,200 it's the time of the year where you really get 14 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,840 to indulge a bit more and experiment with creative outlets 15 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,719 or fashion, Like I find I just put more effort 16 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,079 into how I dress, and that's really fun for me 17 00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:01,520 as an outlet for waste express my personality and my 18 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,560 personal taste. So yeah, maybe the new moon even intensified 19 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:11,239 this a bit more. But feeling more present, feeling like 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,120 you're observing the beauty around you more than you normally 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,879 would and maybe feeling a bit more creatively inspired than 22 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,359 you have been recently. Looking ahead to this week in 23 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,560 the coming days, we are coming off of that intense 24 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,959 Mars Pluto opposition that went exact this past weekend, So 25 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,719 looking ahead, hopefully there is less irritation, anger, or controlling 26 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,719 tendencies if that was something you encountered at the end 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,000 of last week, and I would say there's more of 28 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,599 an opening to fully relax or patiently work on something 29 00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:48,840 and maybe not feel this need to control the outcome 30 00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:53,159 so much or put so much of an intensive energy 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,319 into anything, just chilling out a bit. The main event 32 00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:01,760 for this week will be Venus changing signs on April thirtieth. 33 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,400 So Venus is finally leaving Pisces, getting out from under 34 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,080 Saturn there and as it enters Aries, it's going to 35 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,240 be retracing the steps it took in February and early 36 00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:16,400 March when it was in Aries before its retrograde began, 37 00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:19,599 and then in the first half or so of its retrograde. 38 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,639 So if you think back to what was grabbing your attention, 39 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,599 what were you interested in pursuing, Where were you finding 40 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,800 creative inspiration throughout February and early March, and if those 41 00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:34,599 interests got put on the back burner or just slowed 42 00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:37,719 down a bit after that time period, maybe they're coming 43 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,879 back around again this week into the next several weeks 44 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,280 because Venus is in aries until early June, so throughout 45 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,960 the entire month of May you could be exploring those 46 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,599 interests a bit further and calling back themes that were 47 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,159 relevant to you earlier on this year. Mars is also 48 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,080 wrapping up its post retrograde shadow fay, finally moving beyond 49 00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:05,319 six degrees of Leo this week. So six degrees of 50 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,000 Leo was where it started its retrograde back in early December, 51 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,080 and it's just now coming back to that degree marker 52 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,360 and moving past it for the first time since the 53 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,080 summer of twenty twenty three. Mars was last in these 54 00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:23,240 later degrees of Leo in June and a little bit 55 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,639 of July in twenty twenty three, and then it moved 56 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,319 on to Virgo Libra in the second half of that year. 57 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,240 So this is a Mars cycle we actually haven't seen 58 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,719 in a while, and this is kind of like the 59 00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:38,319 full wrap up of whatever you had insecurities about or 60 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,479 confused or frustrated about last fall. I know people in 61 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,360 different hemispheres listen to this podcast, so I want to 62 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,680 get more specific with the months, like September, October, November, December. 63 00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:55,280 Now it's kind of like that full coming circle, closing 64 00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:58,680 out of that chapter and having a lot more clarity 65 00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:02,879 and certainty about how to move forward in whatever was 66 00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:06,680 causing you stress or confusion back then. So really, with 67 00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:11,479 these movements of Venus changing signs, Mars, moving past that 68 00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:15,000 post retrograde shadow phase, this is a week of moving 69 00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:18,199 on from topics that have concerned you and occupied all 70 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,879 of your mental energy for a while. Now it's finally like, Okay, 71 00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:25,279 onto something new. I'm so bored talking about this stuff. 72 00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:27,839 Let's move on to that next new chapter for the 73 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,839 rest of twenty twenty five. Okay, just some quick announcements 74 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,160 before we get into the breakdown for the week ahead. 75 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,399 I'm sending out a substuct for paid subscribers over the 76 00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:41,000 next couple of days some point this week on figuring 77 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,160 out the best times to schedule launches, outreach, or make 78 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,759 major announcements mainly related to career or your own business 79 00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:53,560 by looking at transits to your chart and seeing the 80 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,759 best time to do so, and also cycles of the 81 00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:00,879 moon cycles of Mercury to look at, and then at 82 00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:03,360 the end, I've given key dates over the next two 83 00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:06,480 months of when you might want a time launches or 84 00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:10,959 announcements around. That's just an area I get repeatedly questions about. 85 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,319 I feel like every single week, it's like, when is 86 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,800 the right time to launch this? When is the right 87 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,959 time to announce something? And I just wanted to do 88 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,360 a whole newsletter on that very topic. And also a 89 00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:27,399 new benefit I recently introduced for paid substock subscribers is 90 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,439 exclusive access or just like priority access and discount to 91 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,480 the in person events that I'm beginning to do in 92 00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:39,079 New York and maybe hopefully in other cities in the 93 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,639 near future. So I'm doing my first event coming up 94 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,480 on May six on Saturn Transit Stories, and it's similar 95 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,639 to the format I do here on the podcast. That's 96 00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:51,920 what I'm trying to accomplish with these in person events, 97 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,560 but it fosters this sense of community where people are 98 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,240 able to come up to the mic and share their 99 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:03,160 chart with everyone in attendance. And so that's another thing 100 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:05,560 you get as a paid subscriber, like first access to 101 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,000 book a ticket, and this time around, they all sold 102 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,279 out before I was able to open it up to 103 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,319 everyone else, so that was really exciting and I can't 104 00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:17,360 wait to meet some of you. If any of you 105 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,480 who booked the ticket also listen to this podcast, but 106 00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:21,279 I am going to try to do an episode on 107 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:25,879 Jupiter Transits to Jupiter Transit Stories because we do have 108 00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:29,439 Jupiter moving into cancer right on the heels of Saturn 109 00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:32,920 moving into aries. And also stay tuned for a bonus 110 00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:35,560 episode coming on Thursday of this week. I'm going to 111 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,720 be talking about the astrology of identity shifts, reflecting on 112 00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:42,439 the retrogrades that just happened, and just chatting about recent 113 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,319 astrology in general and maybe transits that I'm looking forward 114 00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:47,319 to throughout the rest of this year. And that'll have 115 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,639 a YouTube component to it as well. I'm Astrology with 116 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,839 Alice on YouTube too, so if you want to see 117 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,879 all the diagrams and more visuals for what I'm talking about, 118 00:06:59,439 --> 00:07:03,160 I would listen or watch that episode on YouTube. Okay, 119 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,920 with that being said, let's get into the week ahead. Okay. 120 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,120 We are starting the week off on Monday, April twenty eighth. 121 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,199 The moon is still in Taurus. We are coming off 122 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,879 of that new moon that just happened the day prior. 123 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,959 On the twenty seventh time zones ahead, this will all 124 00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:21,160 be pushed a day forward for you, Like the new 125 00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:22,800 moon is going to be on your Monday, but maybe 126 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,680 the moon and Taurus is still going to be happening 127 00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:28,319 on your Tuesday. So anyways, there's not a lot of 128 00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:31,319 visibility to the moon quite yet because it is still 129 00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:34,279 so close to the Sun and Taurus. I wouldn't expect 130 00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:36,680 a lot of energy and activity to be going on 131 00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:39,519 at the start of this week. But still note how 132 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,319 new opportunities, new projects, partnerships, or habits begin to form 133 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,439 in the coming days, because starting on the mark of 134 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,600 that new moon, it's like things start to take hold 135 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,399 pretty quickly, even if they're not becoming totally visible or 136 00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:59,360 ready to be launched or announced quite yet. And see 137 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,759 how a new start or a new chapter is coming 138 00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:05,439 through with the themes related to the Taurus ruled house 139 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,279 of your chart. So I just want to give a 140 00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:10,600 general rundown of what different rising signs can expect in 141 00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:14,160 those themes. But for fire sign risings, this new moon 142 00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:18,680 probably brought up greater activity with career and work and 143 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,120 being productive and making more money and then for Earth 144 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,079 sign risings, this time period is more about leaning into 145 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,319 your personal creativity, developing self confidence, exploring new interests and 146 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,519 hobbies for yourself. And then for Air sign risings, this 147 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,639 time is more about rest and prioritizing your mental health, 148 00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:43,360 focusing more on personal life matters or what's going on 149 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,200 internally with you and maybe making improvements there. And then 150 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,480 for Water sign risings, this would be a more social 151 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,559 time of year, whether that's related to dating an existing relationship, 152 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,360 or just seeing your friends a lot more and forming 153 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,559 business partnerships as well. Later in the day on Monday, 154 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,679 the moon will move on to conjunct your Honest and Taurus. 155 00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:12,320 So at that point we're talking late Monday afternoon Monday evening, 156 00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:15,639 you may feel a bit more anxious or kind of frazzle, 157 00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:18,799 like you're being pulled in a lot of different directions. 158 00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:21,559 So this is where it becomes very important to lean 159 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,360 into Taurus themes. So find ways to connect with your body, 160 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,399 whether that's like gentle exercise, being more present in the 161 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,799 everyday tasks that you have in front of you, try 162 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,320 to get off technology a bit more if you can, 163 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:40,159 and engage in a craft, a hobby, cooking, spending time 164 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,320 in nature that would be ideal for Monday. Then we're 165 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,799 moving right along to Tuesday, April twenty ninth. The moon 166 00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:51,279 leaves Taurus and moves into Gemini right around two thirty 167 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,840 am in the morning Eastern time, so time zones ahead, 168 00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:57,919 maybe noting when that would be for you, and seeing 169 00:09:57,919 --> 00:10:02,440 a shift from feeling super slow or not as much 170 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,080 as happening to suddenly having this boost of energy and 171 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,200 wanting to connect with people or having people reach out 172 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,000 to you and feeling a bit more social in that way. 173 00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:15,159 The moon will be in Gemini throughout all of Tuesday 174 00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:18,440 and Wednesday, So themes to keep in mind throughout the 175 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,200 middle of this week would be engaging in learning of 176 00:10:22,279 --> 00:10:27,039 some sort, picking up a useful skill, spending time reading 177 00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:31,320 or it's not like super in depth learning, but it's 178 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,039 a little bit like dabbling in several different topics at once, 179 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,480 Like maybe you're picking up something useful from a TikTok 180 00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:43,080 that you viewed or a quick article you read online, 181 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,080 and in turn, you may come up with more ideas 182 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,639 for writing content or meetings that you have at work. 183 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,600 In addition, outside of like productivity and that type of 184 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,960 thing you could be more in communication with friends, colleagues, 185 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,039 or the people around you throughout Tuesday and Wednesday, and 186 00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:04,240 you could just want to be around others and share 187 00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:07,639 ideas and have stimulating conversations. So Tuesday and Wednesday would 188 00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:10,720 be great days to plan some type of outing or 189 00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:13,799 meet up with a person. The downside to the Moon 190 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:19,440 and Gemini transit is definitely overthinking everything and feeling unable 191 00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:24,080 to relax mentally, having racing thoughts or getting easily distracted, 192 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,960 like I said, like learning a bit from this source 193 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,679 and that source. It could be like information overload or 194 00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:36,360 just an inability to focus on one specific task. So 195 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,639 that's something to just be aware of. Okay, moving on 196 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,519 to Wednesday, April thirtieth, Again we have the Moon and 197 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,360 Gemini all day, so very similar themes carry into Wednesday 198 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:48,639 as well. All of what I just said apply it 199 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,240 to Wednesday, but I do see Wednesday as being a 200 00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:54,519 bit more fun because the moon is sex styling Mercury 201 00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:58,559 and it'll be conjunct Jupiter, so interactions with people or 202 00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:01,879 communication based war that you're trying to accomplish may flow 203 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,039 even more easily. Or you could have a surge of 204 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,879 ideas for content you want to create or ideas you 205 00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:12,039 want to share with people. And there's also this hopeful, 206 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,440 optimistic energy when the Moon connects with Jupiter, or a 207 00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:19,879 desire to have more knowledge. So how I said, Tuesday 208 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,759 might be learning like kind of random skills, random facts 209 00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:28,399 of information here and there. Maybe on Wednesday there is 210 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,039 a desire to go deeper with something or think more 211 00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:36,519 in bigger picture terms about a conversation or your overall purpose. 212 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,080 Returning to the theme of overthinking or being very mentally 213 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,759 stimulated with the Moon and Gemini having Jupiter here too 214 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,600 could amplify that a bit more. So, really try to 215 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,279 use Wednesday to find productive outlets for your thoughts. Like 216 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,559 I said, would be a great day to learn something 217 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,679 useful or that's grabbing your attention, connect with a friend 218 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,720 and how have an interesting conversation, Maybe carve out time 219 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,240 to accomplish a writing related project or journal. I would 220 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,000 also say Gemini is big on variety and exploration, same 221 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,840 with Jupiter. Both Jupiter and the sign of Gemini are 222 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,600 just linked with wanting to explore, wanting to broaden your 223 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,480 horizons in some way. So Wednesday could be a good 224 00:13:22,519 --> 00:13:25,519 day to try out a new place in your city 225 00:13:25,759 --> 00:13:28,320 or kind of attend something that feels a bit more 226 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,120 educational if you have time outside of work. That is 227 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,240 also happening on Wednesday is that Venus is finally leaving 228 00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:38,639 Pisces and moving into Aries, and Venus will be in 229 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,039 Aries until June sixth. As I mentioned in the intro, 230 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,120 it was already in this sign and therefore the Ares 231 00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:49,720 worldhouse of your chart in February in early March when 232 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,519 it prepared to station retrograde in the early days of 233 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,120 its retrograde. So as an exercise, it could be interesting 234 00:13:56,159 --> 00:13:59,799 to reflect back to what interests or creative influences were 235 00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:04,519 in aspiring to you back then, and now that Venus 236 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,279 is direct and retracing those same steps, you could be 237 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:10,720 finding a new approach to these topics or these areas 238 00:14:10,759 --> 00:14:12,879 of your life, and you could find that it's much 239 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,600 easier to go further and develop them more fully than 240 00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:19,080 you were able to in the past couple of months. 241 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,440 But just looking at Venus and Ares, themes in general 242 00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:24,639 that everyone will want to keep in mind over the 243 00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:29,200 next five weeks would be about being more active about 244 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,240 reaching out to people or possibly dating, and not having 245 00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:36,639 fear and wanting to put yourself out there more in 246 00:14:36,679 --> 00:14:40,120 addition being more direct about what you want in a relationship. 247 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,759 It's interesting Ares is definitely a trickier sign for Venus 248 00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:49,480 to be in because Ares is so much about the self, 249 00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:53,840 and Venus is naturally about partnership and compromise. So there 250 00:14:53,879 --> 00:14:56,679 could be this recurring theme over the next month or 251 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,639 so about how can you stay true to yourself and 252 00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:03,799 what you want for just you while also showing up 253 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,279 in these close friendships or dating situations or long term 254 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,879 partnerships and honoring your commitments to other people. So there 255 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,639 might be this tricky balance you're trying to achieve of 256 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:20,519 self versus relationships. In addition, it could be that you 257 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:23,559 want to act on creative impulses, not sit around and 258 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,639 plan things out really that extensively. It's more like, let's 259 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,679 just do that now and think and plan later. It's 260 00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:35,000 better just to get something out there and get it going, 261 00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:37,399 and then we'll figure out how it may need to 262 00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:40,600 be edited down or tweaked a bit once it's already 263 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,159 out there. And also when it comes to the finances, 264 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,399 the money side of Venus could be that Venus and 265 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,679 Ares has you spending money more impulsively but check the 266 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,639 Ares worldhouse of your chart to see what area of 267 00:15:55,679 --> 00:15:59,759 life you may be finding greater balance in where beneficial 268 00:15:59,799 --> 00:16:02,679 parts partnerships might be forming, or where you could be 269 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,399 injecting your creative point of view into So like in 270 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,279 my chart as a Leo rising and for all Leo risings, 271 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,279 like Venus is now entering our ninth house, so finding 272 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:18,679 ways to I don't know, finding enjoyment and boosting creativity 273 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,919 when you're engaging in learning and furthering your education on 274 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,600 certain topics, or maybe travel is a booster to you 275 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,559 having a new perspective and new creative ideas spinning in 276 00:16:30,559 --> 00:16:34,600 your head. And then we are to Thursday, May first. 277 00:16:34,879 --> 00:16:38,399 The moon moves into Cancer a little after three am Eastern, 278 00:16:38,879 --> 00:16:41,320 so time zones ahead. This might be closer to your 279 00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:47,399 mid morning or afternoon, even the nighttime on Thursday May first. 280 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,919 And by this point in the week, the moon will 281 00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:53,320 be in its waxing crescent phase. It's now sextile to 282 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,559 the Sun in Taurus. So Thursday may feel less social 283 00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:01,039 because there's not that element of the Moon being and 284 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,759 Gemini connecting with Jupiter there, but you could still be 285 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:08,440 getting more done and noticing how projects and relationships are 286 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,880 really beginning to pick up momentum with the moon and cancer. 287 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,680 You may quite literally be tending to activities around your 288 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,160 home or with your family at the end of this week, 289 00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:22,960 and even if it's not something that obvious or significant, 290 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,039 still notice how maybe you are reflecting a bit more 291 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,160 on your living situation or how you decorate your home, 292 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,160 or a conversation that you need to have with a 293 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,240 parent or your sibling, and how those types of things 294 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,160 are more of a focus at the end of this week. 295 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,039 I'm actually flying back to Nashville on this very day 296 00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:45,559 to see my sister's twin babies, my niece and nephew 297 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,119 for the first time, so I'm really excited for this. 298 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,880 But other Moon and cancer themes could be that you're 299 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,960 more emotionally sensitive and things are affecting you more than 300 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,160 they usually would. And another reason for this heightened sensitivity 301 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,839 and maybe more emotion being brought out on Thursday and 302 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,720 also carrying into Friday, is that Venus will be conjunct 303 00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:09,799 Neptune and Ares on these days. So this brings in 304 00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:14,599 this desire to have more meaningful, almost spiritual connections with 305 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,000 people where it just feels deeper and that you're connected 306 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,680 on not more of an intense level, but just more 307 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,559 of a I really know what this person is about 308 00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,480 and I feel very connected to you. This can also 309 00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:29,640 be a pretty romantic transit, but it may make it 310 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,079 harder for you to see a relationship for what it 311 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,920 really is. And there could on the one hand, there 312 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,759 could be this desire to be more compassionate and giving 313 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,799 and extending your energy and your help to other people. 314 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,359 But on the other hand, there is this need to 315 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,599 be wary of who are you giving your energy away to. 316 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,319 Are you giving too much of yourself away to other 317 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,480 people and not recognizing when you need to give that 318 00:18:55,559 --> 00:18:59,200 same love and compassion back to yourself. So I would 319 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,480 say those are the downfall of this transit, and also 320 00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:06,279 just having venus and ares a sign it doesn't thrive in. 321 00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:10,599 It could be that there is like this miscommunication or 322 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,799 confusion that briefly comes up in a relationship at the 323 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,240 end of this week, and also in terms of money, 324 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,480 that same confusion or uncertainty regarding finances that may come 325 00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:26,519 up on Thursday and headed into Friday too, So maybe 326 00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:29,240 try to hold off on doing shopping on these days. 327 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,799 It could just like cloud your judgment of what purchase 328 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,519 is actually really necessary, what would I get a lot 329 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:40,119 of use out of. But on a more positive note, 330 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,400 this transit could have you wanting to lose yourself in 331 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,000 a cultural activity or art or beauty. So could be 332 00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:50,160 a great couple day period to go to a museum, 333 00:19:50,519 --> 00:19:53,880 watch a film that is really inspiring to you, lose 334 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:59,799 yourself in music, or seek out style inspiration in various sources. 335 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,680 So that's something maybe you want to lean into a 336 00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:06,480 bit more if you're feeling the more challenging effects of 337 00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:09,920 this transit. And this will carry into Friday too, that's 338 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,119 actually the day when this venus neptune aspect goes exact. 339 00:20:13,279 --> 00:20:16,559 So let's move on to Friday. Now, Friday May second, 340 00:20:16,599 --> 00:20:19,200 the moon is in cancer all day, Venus is still 341 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,799 conjunct Neptune and arees, so Friday is very much another 342 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,400 day where you may be more in your emotions or 343 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,160 feeling extra sensitive, or you could just want to spend 344 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,680 time on relationships that feel more nurturing, like people who 345 00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:34,880 already know you, or maybe you're finding ways to do 346 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,759 something thoughtful for a person that you care about, like 347 00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:41,039 host someone for dinner. That's a great cancer moon activity 348 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,720 or catch up with someone in a more intimate way 349 00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:46,880 really figure out how is that other person doing can 350 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,519 you be there to support them at all? And for 351 00:20:49,599 --> 00:20:52,480 the earlier part of Friday, majority of your day, if 352 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,000 you're in time zones ahead of America, the moon in 353 00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:58,960 Cancer will be squaring Mercury and aries, So this again 354 00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:02,680 points to how they're may be more emotion into how 355 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,880 you communicate with people, and since it's a square with 356 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,160 mercury and aries, kind of an impulsive place for mercury 357 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,440 to be. I'm getting a package. Okay, sorry, my husband's 358 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,279 birthday present is arriving in the mail. His birthday's on 359 00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:20,839 the twenty ninth, so I had to answer that. But yeah, 360 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,400 So this could be a great time to step back 361 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,000 and consider what you want to say before you blurt 362 00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:29,960 something out of a strong emotion you're having, because there 363 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,519 may be this tendency to feel something super intensely and 364 00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:37,079 then immediately react or communicate about it when maybe that 365 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,480 needs more time and reflection on your part. But on 366 00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:42,119 the other hand, it could be a great time to 367 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,039 get something you're feeling off your chest and have a 368 00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:48,640 more emotionally charged conversation with someone. So it's really I 369 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,640 guess up to you. Let's move on now to Saturday, 370 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,920 May third. The weekend is a completely different vibe. So 371 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,880 if the end of week was kind of emotional, more reactive, 372 00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:02,279 on Saturday, the moon moves into Leo right there with 373 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,680 Mars and Leo, so Saturday I see as a day 374 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,960 for action. We are also reaching the first quarter moon 375 00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:12,359 phase out of this whole lunar phase that's going on 376 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,279 this month, so there's more going on in general headed 377 00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:17,720 into the weekend, and this could be the turning point 378 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,599 in the month where things are starting to get very 379 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,319 busy in the lead up to the full moon, which 380 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,079 will be a week from this coming weekend. So you 381 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,680 could have extra errands or work that you're tending to 382 00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:32,000 this weekend, or you're busy organizing a gathering or an 383 00:22:32,039 --> 00:22:35,720 activity or an upcoming event. I would say Saturday and 384 00:22:35,799 --> 00:22:39,799 also Sunday will be more outgoing because the moon will 385 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,039 not only conjunct Mars and Leo, but will also tryn 386 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,119 Venus and Ares. So you may be enjoying meeting up 387 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,920 with people, putting yourself out there in some capacity. However, 388 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,720 when it comes to that Moon Mars conjunction, there could 389 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,880 be a tense moment that comes up in a relationship 390 00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:00,559 or just within yourself, or you might be more easily 391 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,039 irritated on Saturday, So something to be mindful of. But 392 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,759 this would be a great day overall to put energy 393 00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:12,160 towards some type of side hobby or finding happiness and 394 00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:15,400 joy in those little unexpected moments in your life. So 395 00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:18,559 maybe you want to think about what are fun activities 396 00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:22,200 you can do just for you on Saturday. So for me, 397 00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:27,440 that's admiring the flowers around the neighborhood, or treating myself 398 00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:30,240 to coffee at a cafe and going for a walk 399 00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:32,359 and enjoying the beauty in that way. That brings me 400 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,480 a lot of joy. So try to think about what 401 00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:38,200 that is for you and engage in that this weekend 402 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,599 and really take time to relax and not push yourself 403 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,079 to be so productive. Like I know, I mentioned it's 404 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,319 picking up, it's busier, but maybe there are ways to 405 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,839 have more fun. And then we are to Sunday, May fourth. 406 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,920 Sunday is pretty similar to Saturday, but instead of the 407 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,839 moon conjunct Mars where that irritation may have come up 408 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,319 or I don't know. Sometimes I can be kind of 409 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,319 like a confronting or aggressive type energy. The Moon will 410 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,960 now be squaring the Sun and Taurus on Sunday, so 411 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,279 again not the most easy going aspect. There could be 412 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,279 some internal frustration you're feeling on Sunday or a strong 413 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,359 desire to act on something that you've been thinking about doing. 414 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,640 I see Taurus and Leo as being such creative signs, 415 00:24:24,799 --> 00:24:27,759 So having these two signs emphasized by the transits of 416 00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:30,839 the Sun and Moon this weekend, this is a time 417 00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:36,240 where you need to allow yourself to experiment with expressing yourself. 418 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,720 And I feel like I've gone over this several times 419 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,000 throughout this episode. But find a hobby or an outlet 420 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,920 that makes you happy and where you can put your 421 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,519 personality and your creativity into, whether that's how you dress, 422 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,240 maybe you want to go out and take photos, tend 423 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,079 to a little literal craft, or find other ways that 424 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,279 you can bring your unique point of view into that 425 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:03,200 project or that activity. And Sunday again looks like a 426 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,119 great day for being social, as the moon will exactly 427 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,079 trying mercury, so it is trying venus on Saturday, trying 428 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,680 mercury on Sunday. I just see relationships flowing so much 429 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,200 more easily this weekend than they may have been last 430 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,599 weekend with the Mars Pluto opposition. I actually love this 431 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,759 weekend so much, and I see it as coming out 432 00:25:24,799 --> 00:25:28,640 of hibernation time, like the first weekend where it feels 433 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,759 like people are fully coming together and fun is going 434 00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:34,680 to be had. So try to enjoy yourself this weekend, 435 00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:37,480 and I'm so happy that we're ending on a positive note. 436 00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:39,960 But yeah, thank you again for listening, and stay on 437 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,519 the lookout for a bonus episode coming this Thursday, and 438 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:49,480 otherwise I'll see you back here for the forecast on Monday.
