A Quick Word on The Messenger…

Mercury enters Aries

16 April

6:42pm EDT

We move ever-closer to the Shadow passage of our 1st Mercury Retrograde being over as our Messenger re-enters Aries today. Our Messenger was last here upon 02 March moving forward under the Approach.  Whatever unfinished business still in need of ironing out the kinks, will come to pass as the Shadow concludes when Mercury reaches 06 degrees Aries again upon 22 April.As Mercury journeys once more with The Ram, communications in this area of the Zodiac Pie are directed to take the lead; engaging in alert, clever and spirited methods of expression. Remember under this transit, going with your very first thoughts brings the best outcomes- second guessing things ends up with unfavored results. Spontaneous thoughts are sure to find the collective requesting adaptation to be utilized.

As these early Aries degrees in your personal piece of the Zodiac Pie finish up the recent MRx Shadow, anticipate some communication stirs and changes to still find you. Energies after 22 April will then be in full speed ahead to exhibit alert, quick, and inspired perceptions about what ideally is meant to shift and alter in this area of the life. As with any Aries transit, cultivating concentration, patience, repose, and restraint to the excitability unfolding here, makes for all the more successful outcomes.

Where will you get word about what should be moving, talking and altering in the life?
From the collective perspective, take a peak! If you know your rising sign, and it falls in the early degrees of it, then read that too for another glance at how your natal birth chart is calling for The Messenger to grace you with plenty of conversation throughout 09 May.

Wielding the Warrior


As Mercury Retrogrades at 0 degrees Aries, it is still time to welcome a NEW energy where The Ram takes charge of your life! The collective’s emotions receive direction in the sign that pioneers and sparks true beginnings as we simultaneously engage in what’s moving in our lives with communicative reflection. An active and keen instinct in the next two weeks strikes up, but it will be best to proceed with caution.

Moon enters Aries,
Thursday 22 March at 5:57am EDT until Saturday, 24 March at 5:43pm EDT
Especially as our Messenger Retrogrades here at 0 degrees Aries on the tipping point of the entire Zodiac, Aries energy is wise to beware of restless, challenging, militant, and disobedient forces that may arise. When self-willed energies are around, it is easy to gravitate to unbalanced, aggressive, and hasty tendencies. While a strong sense of individuality and assertiveness mark any Aries passage, the cultivation of moderation, patience, forethought, and humility brings success.

New Moon, 22 March, 10:37am EDT, 02 degrees
This lunation in Aries brings forth independence as easily aroused feelings take charge with The Ram. As our mentalities here recharge further, we still can embrace this time of the month as our emotions welcome a fresh feel. When our New Moon embarks in the driving energies of Aries -the sign that consciously aims for leadership- the collective is really ready to take on a fearless approach. Gravitating to a true Warrior understanding will be vital under this first waxing period of Spring.

For the Collective
Expect the unexpected Uranus is also in the mix of The Ram’s energies just over at 04 degrees, so full attention to remaining in the response verses the reaction brings further understanding to our outcomes here. Spring has also officially begun as Venus and Jupiter bring harmony to Taurus under Mercury Retrograde- which may see its’ fair share of delays to feeling like it is truly bursting until our Messenger goes Direct in April. This New Moon also is not easily met as it- along with the Sun and Uranus all inconjunct both Mars Rx at 06 degrees Virgo and Saturn Rx at 27 degrees Libra. Look to these areas of the life for possible resistance.

Be sure to check the 02 degrees Aries House, in your personal birth chart to see where a new energy is urging to unfold. An initiation in the next two weeks to follow will sow the seeds that you plant in this section of your Zodiac pie until the next Full Moon upon 06 April. Remember, however, what is new here really gets it’s optimal chance to shine once Mercury returns to Direct Motion 04 April. Under the Shadow, Mercury will come forward over 02 degrees Aries upon 19 April, so note how movement and communication speaks here by this time.

For the collective horoscope, again we offer some simple advice for every sign from the outer vantage point. Remember, if you know your Rising Sign (Ascendant), read that passage too, for it typically will apply to your personal charts’ advice.  Always remember, it is the full mathematical analysis of the individual birth chart that truly indicates how the current planetary energies are uniquely affecting you. 

Aries: Mighty Rams, heads up. Get ready for some exciting and stirring feelings to ignite your normal pioneering approach, and all that “I am” already under review. Now don’t be headstrong- truly take this time to re-activate the self. You may see tension from intimate relationships, co-workers and your sense of serving others. Rise up above it all, and the world will wait to see you differently, as it anticipates the completed new mask you are getting ready to unveil.

Taurus: Prepare for a new self-discovery within how “I process” to unfold deep from within as you continue upon your ongoing solitary journey. The spiritual, subconscious realms, and the psychological make-ups of life call to you to really get away from what you normally like to touch and feel, so don’t be stubborn. Resistance may try to emerge from co-workers, your sense of routine and the creative nature. Dream analysis is marvelous at this time to bridge your worlds.

Gemini: In the realms of how “I socialize” within friendships and groups, there are new connections to be made here. You are already in review of your part within organizations so don’t remain in the split. Things feel in a divide with what you can create and on the home front somehow. Accept that possible unexpected invitation to get out in the world, and it will open up an unexpected way to break through the barriers that, in the end, are only within your mind.

Cancer: So are you having fun reassessing the harvest, stability, and reward within your career and public life? Tap into your intuition about what can be rediscovered in regards to promoting or starting a new business, or, for a nice recognition to come your way in regards to how “I structure” in the life. The home, family life and your ways of thinking seem to cause some unrest. Remember your view to authority also looks for cleansing, and can respond to this responsibly.

Leo: Inspiration has already been refueling the path to how your philosophies and educational pursuits are expanding. Taking a trip outside of the forest, Lion? Though wise to proceed with caution under Mercury Rx- take one, or at least find ways to broaden your view of the world at large. Your thinking/mentalities and earning power may not see as eye to eye as you’d prefer, and here in lies the challenge, to remain positive and optimistic about changing what “I believe.”

Virgo: Don’t be shy about your securities and investments, for it has been the time to reflect here, but don’t make ultimate decisions in this area until Mercury is Direct again. With all the planet power here at present you are undergoing an intense metamorphosis that may find some resistance from how your approaches are changing while having to be patient with your earning power. Feeling sexy continues to welcome the discoveries that show you how “I transform.”

Libra: Your partnerships are more than on your mind lately, from your romantic ties to business contacts. You’ll find the new and the old connections over this waxing period are of special importance to your future. Avoid signing anything legally binding until after 04 April. You may find you toy between your inner world and your first impressions. However, a friendly spark ignites as you reflect upon ways to bring balance to what you love to do best in how “I relate.”

Scorpio: Keep tapping into those regenerative powers, because they are right on in feeling they are ready to bring forth more improvement to your health and all the ways you find that deep satisfaction in the area of “I serve.” There are new routines and habits coming your way. Somehow, your world of solitude may seem a little “off” but pay extra close attention to those dreams. Should tensions fly with a friend, don’t give the deadly sting, choose to soar above it.

Sagittarius: Fire is alive for you in all of its’ forms, and you surely have been sensing magical illumination at your fingertips when it comes to your creativity. As you are reviewing the intense energy surging where “I create” -you see a break-though. Your playful feelings equally love contact with children. “Brain children” or offspring equally wish to be on your stage. You may sense tension in aligning it all with your public image and groups, so choose one focus at a time.

Capricorn: Have you stopped working already to shift to cleaning your house Dear Goat? Your home environment has been calling for your toil and perfectionism. More than likely you have been choosing to ponder here, especially reassessments, with equal focus upon your family life, all of what “I nurture.” Not to get too psychic, but do not ignore any déjà vu experiences. These may communicate something expected about your career and requirement of higher learning.

Aquarius: Enjoying the ongoing review in your thinking Water Bearer? Be ready for more inventions and original ways you always enjoy improving your sense of how “I communicate.” If you take time to plan a short trip now or if you are already on one, just keep Mercury’s current changes in mind. Neighbors and siblings draw to you now. Don’t resist what you should not believe in anymore, as well as the regenerative request that is purging within you from the core.

Pisces: The Fishes currently swim in the waters of review to a renewed sense of values while taking stock of personal possessions- the solidarity of what “I have.” You are in the mood to redo and reorganize in how you earn your dollars. A new channel to flow from begins to show its face, granting security to lock in later. Still thinking you shouldn’t be seeing all the transformation around you? Go with the course of change, and remember to be peaceful in your relationships.
