“A star falls from the sky and into your hands. Then it seeps through your veins and swims inside your blood and becomes every part of you. And then you have to put it back into the sky. And it’s the most painful thing you’ll ever have to do and that you’ve ever done. But what’s yours is yours. Whether it’s up in the sky or here in your hands. And one day, it’ll fall from the sky and hit you in the head real hard and that time, you won’t have to put it back in the sky again.”
― C. JoyBell C.

The beginning of this week brings an optimistic note — MOON in SAGITTARIUS — and the emphasis falls on VENUS, the planet responsible for the sense of aesthetics, love, pleasures, values, property and finances, all due to the transit in GEMINI, as well as the aspects it will make during the week. Moving through life successfully is always a balancing act, and just because you don’t have the stability you want doesn’t mean you won’t find what you need.

This is an alchemical process and you may feel like a juggler trying to achieve balance while sailing on a stormy sea and every step seems uncertain… Sparrows fly around, carriers of information that require adjustment at every new moment and second. Traditionally this is associated with the placement of MERCURY in TAURUS, which requires a stable assessment of what is possible, solid communication and patience, against the transit of VENUS in playful GEMINI, its dispositor, a sign of mutable quality, so VENUS here takes on such a nature — restless, playful, fickle, flirtatious, curious and eager for social and mental stimulation.

VENUS trine PLUTO is an aspect that says divine forces are at work to help sort out some particular situation, especially in intimate and committed relationships. You are never alone — know that! For full support, ask for what you need first and then commit to the process.

VENUS square SATURN (April 14) can cause a monumental block, and the way forward should be indirect. As we mature we come to know better how to deal with emotional disputes. There is no gap in thinking and acting, there is no more — But!…

That is why diplomatic communication is favoured now — there is hope, especially if you are ready for peaceful negotiation. Sometimes, there are forces beyond our control, yet we are not powerless. The focus should be on what can be changed rather than what cannot. Be graceful even under pressure. Stay realistic. Allow yourself to shine.

MARS in CANCER indicates that the dynamic energy is focused on the family, the home, the needs of loved ones, as well as the relationship with the mother and the country of residence.

SUN conjunction JUPITER is a new annual cycle of enthusiasm, vitality and optimism bringing healing of the heart on a personal, planetary and multidimensional level. For many, this means connecting with nature, and for a few, a change of living location.

Freedom. Militancy. Obstacles. Riches. SATURN, planet of structure and limitations in sextile with the NODES signifies liberation from structures that are more suffocating than helpful and liberating. Instead of thinking about what we want freedom from, we need to ask ourselves WHAT we want freedom for. I want the freedom for … singing, spending more time in nature, creative engagements, increased awareness of the community … These are key topics.

VESTA in TAURUS will increase the ability to work in a stable and persistent way. Yes, it might take a while to get started, but then you’ll be unstoppable! Persistent and predictable, watch out for increased inflexibility, and make plans in a well-planned and grounded way. This transit will emphasize sensuality and the need for comfort.
