The Moon sets the emotional tone as she moves through the Zodiac day-to-day. It takes approximately 28 days to traverse the entire Zodiac. Learning to work with this rhythm will help you align with and relax into an easier flow with the Universe. The luminous Moon spends approximately 2 ½ days in each sign before she moves on to the next.
The week begins as the Moon leaves Capricorn behind and enters Aquarius at 9:04 AM EDT. While in the objective, freedom-seeking Aquarius we are emotionally invested in inclusive humanitarian endeavors. As a Fixed Air sign, Aquarius opens our eyes to the importance of seeking freedom for the diversity of all human life.
The Moon remains in this cool intellectual and innovative sign until late Wednesday afternoon.
At 4:30 PM EDT on Wednesday the Moon enters Pisces where she remains until the wee hours of Saturday morning. While in Pisces, the Mutable Water sign, we may feel emotionally vulnerable and inclined toward dreamy sensitivity. The sensitive waters of Pisces offer flexible acceptance and a deep understanding and connection to that which makes us human.
At 2:11 AM EDT on Saturday morning the Moon enters Aries. When you start the day on Saturday you may feel as though you are waking as though from a dream. Even though the Aries Moon has you feeling more energized don’t forget that we are in the Dark of the Moon (Balsamic Phase). Give yourself time to rest.
When the Moon is in Aries it is good to spend time alone, take time for yourself this weekend. Do something physically invigorating. Go for a run, a hike, a bike ride.

THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY IS AT HAND – Monday, April 5, 2021
If are feeling glum or focused solely on the work required of you in the day ahead, relax knowing that today brings other gifts to bear. At 9:04 AM EDT, the Moon enters objective, freedom-loving Aquarius. Pay attention to the shift as your focus turns to your individuality, innovative ideas, and humanitarian goals.
Listen for unusual ideas that can lead you to a future with a more humanitarian focus. When the Moon is in Aquarius it is easier than usual to remain cool as a cucumber in the face of stress. That outward coolness suggests the intellect is at work. Your focus is on pervasive humanitarian issues rather than on your individual troubles. Keep your eyes and ears open and you will find a way to add your voice to help.
_The Capricorn Moon is void-of-course from 3:06 AM EDT until she enters Aquarius at 9:04 AM EDT. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact._

THE GIVE AND TAKE OF LOVE – Tuesday, April 6, 2021
A strong sense of innovation prevails today as the Moon continues through future-oriented Aquarius. Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign and your heart can be stimulated by new and unusual intellectual topics and ideas. You may hear unconventional opinions expressed by others throughout the day. Listen and consider what you hear.
At 7:17 AM EDT Venus (in Aries) forms a pleasant sextile aspect to Mars (in Gemini). This represents an opportunity to reach a sweet balance in the give and take of friendships or partnerships. You and those you are closest to are in sync and partnerships should feel deeply satisfying.
If you are single and seeking partnership, keep your eyes and your heart open today and tomorrow. Think of this as a time when there is a balance between beauty and action. This gives us a day that is great for artistic or performance endeavors. If you have friends who are artists, musicians, or performers, make it a point to give kudos to their work today.

RELEASE OLD PATTERNS – Wednesday, April 7, 2021
The Moon continues through Aquarius for the bulk of today moving you forward with lightning speed. This is a great time to release patterns of thinking that have kept you stuck or held you back. On an emotional level, you understand the necessity for innovative and unusual ideas to support a future for humanity. Gather with like-minded folks to develop ideas for the improvement of the future.
At 4:30 PM EDT, the Moon enters Pisces slowing you down as you reconnect with the depths of your spiritual center. Pisces is a Mutable Water sign, highly sensitive, adaptable, and rather elusive.
While the Moon moves through Pisces it is best to release expectations of yourself and others. Go with the flow. You may find that you are in a bit of a fog emotionally. Let that be fine. It is only a problem if you have expectations of accomplishment or rational understanding. Spend the evening listening to music, reading poetry, creating art, or meditating.
_The Aquarius Moon is void-of-course from 6:05 AM EDT until she enters Pisces at 4:30 PM EDT. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact._

BOUNDARIES AND COMPASSION – Thursday, April 8, 2021
The Mutable Water sign of Pisces is highlighted today as the Moon makes a deep-dive through this mystical sign. This is a day to focus on those things that bring you to intangible depths of sensitivity and compassion.
Make any adjustments necessary that will enable you to answer the call of your imagination. Let yourself dive deeply into dreams without limits today. Immerse yourself in your most profound deep-seated sensitivities.
Your experience of empathy toward others can be overwhelming today. This makes it important to strengthen your personal boundaries and not take on emotional issues that are not yours to manage.
The true learning that comes with Pisces is compassion. In embracing our own suffering we learn compassion for the human suffering of others.

THINGS MAY NOT BE AS THEY APPEAR – Friday, April 9, 2021
Between the Moon in Pisces and Mars square Neptune this is a day to search out inspiration, compassion, and understanding. You may find that your energy is quite low. If you feel weak, discouraged, or confused have minimal expectations of yourself and others. Take it easy today, release any lingering doubts and guilt. Allow powerful compassion and a deep connection with imagination, music, and poetry to support you. Follow your imagination toward beauty.
When Mars squares Neptune it is challenging to know what to act on and what is not as it seems. There seems to be a fine line between what is real and what is an illusion. If you must make a decision or settle a score this is not the day to do so as you are not seeing the whole picture. Wait before taking decisive action.
Spend your time in healing or recuperative endeavors. Build on your creativity and compassion, and simply take time to rest.
_The Pisces Moon is void-of-course from 7:49 PM EDT until she enters Aries at 2:11 AM EDT on Saturday morning. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact._

STEADY MIND – OPEN HEART – Saturday, April 10, 2021
It may feel as though your emotions are bursting open this morning. The Moon has released the sensitivity of Pisces and moved into the bold courageous sign of Aries. The Aries Moon always asks us to act quickly and without a lot of forethought.
The tendency of today’s Aries Moon to respond quickly will be tempered by Mercury sextile Saturn this morning. This will hold your ideas and thoughts steady for a day or two. Your mind has more clarity, your judgment and focus are sound. Think of this transit as providing an opportunity to catch up or stabilize a study or project that holds your attention. Perhaps your thinking is a bit more reserved as you consider the consequences of how and where you spend your time and attention. This is a great time for learning and paying attention to the advice of others.
At 2:53 PM EDT Venus sextile Jupiter offers warmth, vitality, and good feelings between yourself and others. This suggests an ability to approach others with open-hearted generosity and goodwill. Consider a new perspective on friendships and love relationships. This is a time when your social interactions may feel freer than they have in some time. Spend time with those you may want to build a deeper friendship with. You may even meet a future close friend today.
Today is full of opportunities and you are ready to grasp for them. Keep your mind stable and your heart open.

COURAGEOUS ACTION BEGINS A NEW CYCLE – Sunday, April 11, 2021
If you wake up alone, get out of bed and start the day with a run or other physical exercise. If you wake up with your sweetie by your side this is a lovely day get your physical exercise with your partner between the sheets. Releasing physical energy will support good feelings keeping snarky attitudes at bay. If you are not sharing physical activities, spend the afternoon alone. Use your body in such a way that you will be tired out by the close of the day.
The Aries New Moon is exact at 10:31 PM EDT at 22° Aries. The New Moon is when the Sun and Moon hold the same position. This is the beginning of a new cycle asking that you examine your desires and take courageous action to bring something new into fruition. Your New Moon Ritual is best done following the exact conjunction and you are probably best off to do it sometime tomorrow.
At 11:20 PM EDT Venus square Pluto could bring dark power struggles to the surface between yourself and a close partner or friend. This transit can bring out intense complications between you. This can bring up intense jealousy or obsessive emotions. Engaging in a powerful sexual experience is a good use for this transit. A sexual connection will bring you to profound emotional depths in love.
ARIES NEW MOON RITUAL
First, write down what you would like to see an increase or develop in the next 2 weeks and extend that to the desired growth of the next 6 months.
The Aries New Moon suggests that this is the time to plant a seed of assertive independence, courage, and action. What leadership skills do you aspire to? What are you ready to courageously determine on your personal path forward?
Bring the qualities of Aries to your individual path now. Plant this metaphorical seed in the area of your life indicated by the house that holds Aries in your chart.
Have two candles available. Light the first to represent yourself, as you are right now. Light the second candle as inspiration for the change you want to create during this cycle. Take a moment to focus on your intention as you light each candle. Imagine drawing the change you desire toward you as you physically bring the two candles closer together. When you are done with the ritual blow out the candles, you will come back to them to perform the same ritual each day for two weeks.
At the Scorpio Full Moon on April 26th, you will bring the candles together where they will touch for the first time. Now you see clearly and acknowledging what you have created.
The energy you infuse into this cycle is also building within the larger cycle which will illuminate us at the Aries Full Moon on October 20, 2021.
_The Aquarius Moon is void-of-course from 2:06 PM EST until she enters Pisces at 2:24 AM EST tomorrow morning. This suggests that what occurs during this time will not have much impact._
To strive toward our truest life path, we must understand and transcend the past. We must understand what the past has and is teaching us. We can then use that understanding to free ourselves and shine the light of freedom for others. When we accept and embrace the past we courageously open to our unabashed future. The present moment is a point of tension between lived stories from the past and the creative draw toward yet-to-be-created stories of our future. Astrology guides us on the path. -Laurie Astrolore
