The Week Ahead: April 22-28, 2024

Lunar Phases

Tuesday, April 23, 23:49 UT - Full Moon, 4°18’ Scorpio

The key phrases for the Full lunar phase are “culminate, fulfill, illumine, manifest;” and “pour all our energy and efforts into our intentions.” Something toxic coming to light, I think - we can purge it. Remember your sense of humor, and be joyous in addressing the problem.

Saturday, April 27, 20:54 UT - Disseminating Moon, 23°04’ Sagittarius

The key phrases for the Disseminating phase are “teach, share, communicate;” and “ease up on efforts with our intentions.” We’re voluble at least, and need to be careful we don’t blurt out anything hurtful.

Void of Course Moon

Monday, April 22, 23:34 UT (Libra) - Tuesday, April 23, 15:20 UT (Scorpio)

Thursday, April 25, 23:17 UT (Scorpio) - Friday, April 26, 01:37 UT (Sagittarius)

Sunday, April 28, 07:31 UT (Sagittarius) - 09:37 UT (Capricorn)

Retrograde/Direct/Etc.

Pre-retrograde shadow: Ceres/Capricorn, Saturn/Pisces

Retrograde: Mercury/Aries (until Thursday the 25th), Pallas Athene/Sagittarius

Post-retrograde shadow: Mercury/Aries (starting Thursday the 25th), Juno/Virgo, Vesta/Cancer (until Wednesday the 24th)

Transiting Vesta exits her post-retrograde shadow on Wednesday, April 24, 03:07 UT. She goes back to being a trigger. Probably a lot of “home improvement” energy.

Transiting Mercury stations direct on Thursday, April 25, 12:54 UT, at 15°58’ Aries. Yippee! It may not much feel like it for ten more days, though.

Et Cetera

There is one Opportunity Period this week: Thursday, April 25, 11:55 UT - 23:17 UT. “Take advantage of Mercury stationing direct during this OP to plan and chart a new path.”

The main event of the week is that intense Full Moon. I keep having the feeling we need to deal with something the eclipses dredged up.
