Weekly Starcodes—Planetary Aspect Interpretations & Predictions |
We astrologers look forward to talking about a nice boring week, but this is not it. Fire up the jets, get ready to launch new directions, but make sure to act rather than react. Make a statement, cut the crap, get to the point. The mood will be feisty with strong histamine reactions; we get easily inflamed, body and mind, in response to irritants of all types. Think through the consequences before barreling forward and encourage our government to do so also.
Early this Friday morning the Sun and Moon conjunct for the New Moon at 27° of brave, feisty Aries, trailed by Mercury, Neptune, Mars, Saturn, and Chiron all in this fieriest of fire signs. Anyone can get hot under the collar, react too quickly, or overreact, we can make hasty decisions which will be easy to regret later. When we're rushing or distracted, we stumble into accidents. To use this fire for good, stay present, focused, breathe often, and don't bite people's heads off unnecessarily.
This New Moon begins a new cycle, as every New Moon does, so let's consider what we want to begin and catch fire in our lives, what we want to plant or protect. While it brings out our impulsiveness, maybe we could have an impulse in a good direction. Don’t write any wild ideas off but do think it through before acting.
This New Moon stimulates our rebelliousness and encourages us to act out, particularly where it interacts with our chart. This world has a handful of political leaders with those with their Mars in Leo who think on a grand scale, hate to be ignored, and want to know they affect this world. USA’s Trump, Israel’s Netanyahu, Saudi Arabia’s Bin Salman all have their Mars in fiery Leo close to this degree of Leo, Iran’s Mojtaba Khamenei and Russia’s Putin both have their Mars near this degree in fiery Sagittarius, and all will be activated by a trine from this New Moon. This Moon is a real wild card, it could catalyze a breakthrough, breakdown, or just the stalemate of people rushing in opposite directions which leaves our world caught in between. Let's hold good outcomes in our imagination and heart.

Our actions can grow less volatile and more stable and durable, but more potentially more entrenched as the Moon enters Taurus later Friday, and the Sun enters Taurus on Sunday. That waxing Taurus Moon brings a fertile time to dig up gardens and plant both metaphorical and actual seeds through the weekend.
That Taurus grounds the fire, though 5 planets and asteroid or two are still in Aries, and Mercury, Mars, and Saturn run a tight momentum-building conjunction throughout the week. Mercury sextiles Pluto on Saturday and Saturn conjuncts Mars on Sunday, two aspects which can push for clear decisions and help us think through consequences before we act. Both aspects ask us to take the world seriously, can make us a little obsessive, and can loan us competence, but not necessarily wisdom. That we have to add ourselves.
Decisions will be made early next week as Mercury conjuncts Saturn and Mars under a nervy, verbal Gemini Moon. The week ends as Venus conjuncts Uranus and then enters Gemini, which can add some levity or charm, a dash of romance and spring fever, and can aid negotiations but won't necessarily start them up. If we begin the process, the Gemini adds the flow. Hold a vision of a better world, both personally and politically, and work towards that.
Day By Day: Starcodes are in Mountain time.
Friday, April 17: This morning's New Moon at 5:51 AM MDT is a true New Year's Day moment, the first new Moon of the astrological year. Make resolutions and get the party started. Stay on target with a personal vision. Don’t waste energy arguing over other people's visions, that just has to play itself out but choose carefully where to get involved. With this ambient pushy if enthusiastic and willful torque, we need to give others the acceptance to follow their own path that we ask for ourselves. Watch where the sparks fly, fires that start today -whether they are actual or emotional -won't be put out easily. The Moon enters Taurus midday and infuses a steadier energy behind any new initiative. Be kind around dinnertime as the Moon squares haunted Pluto and some consequence becomes clear. Rest and nourish tonight.
Moon conjunct Sun 5:51 AM at 27° of Aries, Moon enters Taurus 9:57 AM, Moon square Pluto 6:45 PM.
Saturday, April 18: This waxing Moon in fertile Taurus is a great time to plant seeds, both real and metaphorical. We’ll work more comfortably in fits and bursts. Be curious, not suspicious. Investigate; come to understand some truth as Mercury sextiles Pluto. Our minds want to chew on something deep, turn over rocks and look into the corners. Dig in the garden. Engage a deep, spacious, unjudgmental talk with a beloved; we need safety to let the guards down, so leave judgment out of the conversation to really get a view within. Don't try to derail someone to get them involved in your dream instead of theirs.
Moon sextile Jupiter 2:01 PM, Mercury sextile Pluto 2:34 PM.
Sunday, April 19: The mood is versatile, energized, but easily scattered. Direct the energy where it’s most needed as the Moon enters verbal, flexible, charming Gemini. Flowing words can lubricate tense interactions; this comes in handy as willful Mars conjuncts competent Saturn. Don't attempt to make something happen, nor be talked into a hare-brained idea, unless all the consequences are truly wanted. Most of us will use this willfulness constructively, it supports good mentorship between generations if all sides show respect; so, reach out to elder or young ones. But it could precipitate power struggles around chains of command out there in the world. Do work on structural, mechanical, and foundational systems. The Sun enters cuddly, stubborn Taurus tonight at 7:38 PM MDT and asks us to come back into the body, get cuddly, take care of our health.
Moon conjunct Venus 12:43 AM, Moon conjunct Uranus 9:44 AM, Moon enters Gemini 10:17 AM, Moon sextile Neptune 2:56 PM, Mars conjunct Saturn 4:43 PM, Moon trine Pluto 7:02 PM, Sun enters Taurus 7:38 PM, Moon sextile Mercury 10:18 PM, Moon sextile Saturn 10:59 PM, Moon sextile Mars 7:17 PM.
Monday, April 20: A day of decisions that will not be easily reversed, decisions that will have consequences, as Mercury conjuncts Saturn and Mars, but we have to make them wise ones. Think it through, make sure to have all the working parts in mind, know what's going on, and make sure everybody feels heard before anything is signed. Set limits and mean them, apply for a job, or mortgage, or take a step in a longed-for direction. Keep an eye on the big picture map and watch the headlines for important clues about the near future.
Mercury conjunct Saturn 5:21 AM, Mercury conjunct Mars 3:44 PM.
Tuesday, April 21: After a nervy, scattered morning, the Moon enters comfort-requiring Cancer midday and asks us to take care of ourselves and neglected issues on the home front. But don’t use this needed recentering as an excuse for a sullen retreat from hurt feelings; we’ll pout quickly as defenses trigger. Let’s move out of blame, take personal responsibility, and take care of ourselves.
Moon enters Cancer 10:59 AM, Moon sextile Sun 1:50 PM, Moon trine Neptune 3:53 PM.

Wednesday, April 22: The internal Moon in Cancer squares Saturn, Mars, and Mercury this morning. If we feel overwhelmed or stretched thin, we can get irritated, blame others when we are the person most responsible for healthy boundaries and meeting our needs. Be pro-active instead. Bring attention back home and take care of all domestic issues, whether we're talking politics or family, even if it feels at odds with a current ambition. It furthers to do our due diligence on projects close to our heart and mind, direct this energy and keep it out of trouble. Open the heart’s doors to beloveds later in the day as the Moon conjuncts Jupiter, help them feel encouraged on their own tracks.
Moon square Saturn 12:30 AM, Moon square Mars 3:11 AM, Moon square Mercury 5:29 AM, Moon conjunct Jupiter 4:51 PM.
Thursday, April 23: Deal with personal business early as the introverted Cancer Moon sextiles Venus and Uranus. Then get outside, work the crowd, listen for new connections as Venus conjuncts Uranus and enters nervy, cross-pollinating Gemini and the Moon enters extroverted Leo. Our mood could become lighter, less introspective, a bit more flirtatious. Although some will use this verbal glitz for propaganda or cheap excuses, it can also help us write what needs to be written, become more ready to negotiate, less interested in just a military solution. It can create an opportunity for innovative and peace-seeking folk to find a new voice.
Moon sextile Venus 12:52 PM, Moon sextile Uranus 1:27 PM Moon enters Leo 1:40 PM, Moon trine Neptune 6:56 PM, Venus conjunct Uranus 7:58 PM, Moon square Mars 8:31 PM, Venus enters Gemini 10:03 PM, Moon opposed Pluto 11:12 PM.
