Your Milky Way Horoscope March 30-April 5, 2014

By Milky Way Maid

Dear Readers-- I continue to recover from an episode of blood clots on the lungs. Thanks for your good thoughts and get-well wishes. Please visit the website of the National Blood Clot Alliance at StopTheClot.org to learn more about blood clots and when you might need to see a doctor about it.

The Sun at 11 degrees Aries squares Jupiter in Cancer at 3:40 am Tuesday. The Sun square Jupiter can mean “too much of a good thing” which could take the form of a hangover literally or figuratively. You may see the light re what your course of action is going to lead you to, and decide to shape up and aim for a higher level of conduct. 

 

The Sun at 12 degrees Aries is conjunct Uranus at 3:08 am Wednesday. The Sun with unique Uranus can make one a rebel, eccentric, a brilliant inventor, a natural at electronics or astrology or psychology. And you may be a perfectly normal person but if this transit affects your personal planets, something you say may be heard as something totally off the wall. 

 

Mercury at 22 degrees Pisces trines Saturn in Scorpio at 11:02 pm Wednesday. Mercury and Saturn work well together on difficult, tedious projects like auditing the books, writing a scientific paper, editing, crunching numbers, wading through statistical data. 

 

The Sun at 13 degrees Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn at 5:19 am Thursday. The Sun when squared by Pluto suffers from having the rug pulled out from under it. Examples such as-- you are entered in a competition but have to withdraw because of illness or something. You are scheduled for an interview but the person you were supposed to see is out that day, so you have to make another appointment. Or you were expecting to be sent out on a construction job but your name has been scratched off the crew list. 

 

Venus enters Pisces at 4:31 pm Friday. Venus is exalted in Pisces, which I presume is because of its self-sacrificing quality there – a quality not exactly valued in modern society.

Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. NOTE: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.

ARIES - March 20-April 19 – The Moon is in Aries from Sunday till the wee hours of Tuesday. There's a New Moon at 10 degrees Aries at 2:45 pm Sunday; the Moon soon joins Uranus and squares both Jupiter and Pluto. Events may start to happen lightning-fast in whatever sectors they are located in on your natal chart, so hold onto your hat. Having a chip on your shoulder midday Monday will not aid relationship matters. Mid to late afternoon favors spending time with a dear friend. Thursday is very stressful for all the cardinal signs, and you may need to seek best advice on what to do next.

TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – The Aries New Moon will contact your health houses and travel, so take extra care when driving or flying. The Moon is in Taurus from 1:20 am Tuesday till Thursday morning. You enjoy lunch Tuesday with a ditzy friend. Tuesday night can be pretty lucky if you make a short trip, especially if you go with a relative or neighbor. You may not feel warm and fuzzy Wednesday night. Make a bit of effort to show your creative works Friday night, because you may make a sale.

GEMINI - May 21-June 20 – The Aries New Moon will contact your money houses and friends; do not lend money to friends, for one thing. The Moon is in Gemini from 7:48 am Thursday till Saturday afternoon. Plans to go to the movies Thursday night just aren't going to work out. You hear a good joke early Friday, and tell it to a friend at lunch. Your energy is very good late Friday, so have your chore list ready. You are still absorbed in tasks Saturday morning.

CANCER - June 21-July 22 – Read Aries re the New Moon because this will also affect you. A professor or editor may do you a favor Monday afternoon. You may differ with the boss early Tuesday, but smooth things over by mid-morning. Thursday is very stressful for all the cardinal signs, and you may need to seek best advice on what to do next. You prefer to cocoon on Friday, possibly with a phone in your hand. The Moon is in Cancer from 5:40 pm Saturday thru the weekend. Dinner hour on Saturday is very congenial if you have professional friends as guests. Venus enters your solar ninth house of travel, law and college; you might receive an offer to accompany a dear person for free on a trip, or receive critical support from an editor or professor.

LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 - The Aries New Moon will contact your health houses and travel, so take extra care when driving or flying. You may find great legal advice Tuesday but it'll cost you. A foreign port of call beckons you for your next trip, possibly to see a VIP. A union strike may nix hopes of that trip, though, so make a Plan B. Venus enters your solar eighth house of joint finances; you may get a larger tax refund than you expected, or some legacy comes through.

VIRGO - Aug. 23-Sept. 22 - The Aries New Moon will contact your money houses and friends; do not lend money to friends, for one thing. Too much of a good thing may land you in trouble early Tuesday morning. Venus enters your solar seventh house; relationships become calm and idyllic.

Career demands and your mate are in conflict Tuesday; possibly your mate is gone from home too much due to work schedules and travel. Thursday is very stressful for all the cardinal signs, possibly with a turn-down of a loan application. Friday night is excellent for brainstorming sessions with other air sign natives. Venus enters your solar sixth house of workplaces; you may make a new friend among your coworkers.

SCORPIO - Oct. 23-Nov. 21 - The Aries New Moon will contact your health houses and travel, so take extra care when driving or flying. An unexpected trip related to work may be offered midweek, although you may ultimately turn it down. You prefer to cocoon on Friday, possibly watching sports on TV. Venus enters your solar fifth house of fun; a lovely and loving new romantic interest makes your life interesting, and creative pursuits do well.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 22-Dec. 21 - The Aries New Moon will contact your money houses and friends; do not lend money to friends, for one thing. You may overspend wildly on children or on your art supplies this week, even maxing out a credit card. Friday night favors a night spent with your mate and good friends. Venus enters your solar fourth house; you may redecorate the home a bit, or spruce up with paint or flowers.

CAPRICORN - Dec. 22-Jan. 19 - Read Aries re the New Moon because this will also affect you. There may be strain with your mate early Tuesday over overdoing or overindulging. You may play host to a foreign guest Wednesday, so brush up on your languages. Thursday is very stressful for all the cardinal signs, and you may need to seek best advice on what to do next.

Your Milky Way Horoscope Sept. 29 - Oct. 5, 2013

By Milky Way Maid

Mercury enters Scorpio at 7:38 am Sunday, a sign where Mercury becomes the detective who delves under the surface and solves any kind of mystery – the murder mystery novel, the medical mystery, the crime mystery, the mystery of where your money went, but especially the mystery of the soul and spirit. This Mercury's insights into others' motivations or moods can make them seem psychic. Do not play poker with these guys if you can help it. 

 

Mercury at 3 degrees Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces at 5:46 pm Tuesday. Adverse aspects between Mercury and Neptune can cloud our judgment terribly, and allow us to be fooled by lies and propaganda. Words can be magic – as in poetry – or they can be hypnotic – as in a scammer's spiel. Sometimes we do not really understand what is said to us under such a transit, and that is one reason why astrologers always tell you not to sign anything under such a transit. You won't understand what you are signing. 

 

The Sun at 9 degrees Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn at 9:25 pm Tuesday. Sun-Pluto squares generally mean that fighting City Hall is a losing proposition, even tho you may feel that your issue is perfectly cut-and-dried in your favor. One runs into Authority Figures who throw obstacles of various kinds in your path, such as traffic tickets, lawsuits, audits, denial of permits or licenses, etc. For a restaurant owner, losing a beer license can probably put them out of business. I shouldn't say to never take up a fight under this transit, but be aware that you cannot count on having it won just on the face of the obvious evidence. You will have to marshal your facts and cobble together a legal argument for why your request-suit-petition should be granted. 

 

The Sun at 10 degrees Libra opposes Uranus in Aries at 10:12 am Thursday. I just got done telling y'all not to fight City Hall, and here with this opposition, that is exactly what you might wind up doing. You may actually stand toe-to-toe with an Authority Figure and tell him/her that their way is wrong, with a capital W, W-R-O-N-G!!! There is also some likelihood of brilliantly inventing something, that is if you have that particular talent and skill set. 

 

We have a New Moon 8:34 pm Friday, at 11 degrees 56' Libra. New Moons are kind of like mini-eclipses; their effects usually last for just that month although things begun under them could continue on for a long time. Libra New Moons will emphasize relationship issues. Either you meet someone new who is quite attractive, or issues of fairness crop up in existing relationships. Notice the aspects this week that fall on 9 or 10 degrees Libra (see above), plus this NM at 11 degrees Libra. Anyone with natal planets around there, or at major aspects to them, will surely feel a tug all this week. The New Moon opposes Uranus in Aries, squares Pluto in Capricorn, trines Chiron in Pisces, and semi-sextiles Saturn in Scorpio. Those are some heavy-duty aspects, and I am not looking forward to them. Since they are in cardinal signs, we may see something of the effects even before the exact New Moon. Effects may include bombs (Uranus), a government crackdown (Pluto), injuries or loss of life (Chiron). Less dire effects may include psychological (Uranus) therapy (Pluto), surgery (Pluto and Chiron), chemotherapy, etc. I don't specialize in lunation reports, so for further insights from the Full Moon in Libra back in March 2013, read HERE--- http://newmoonastrologyreadings.com/transits-past-and-present/full-moon-in-libra-march-2013

Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. NOTE: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.

ARIES - March 20-April 19 - Mercury enters your solar eighth house on Sunday; you discuss intense subjects like making a will, or of making provisions for annuities, etc. Aspects to the Sun in your seventh house Libra can bring challenging and demanding people into your life. The New Moon on Saturday directly impacts you or your partnerships, and could even push you into couples therapy.

TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – Mercury enters your solar seventh house on Sunday; a younger person may interest you as a partner. Aspects to the Sun in Libra this week can bring some health issues to the fore, some of which may be work-related. The New Moon in Libra may force you to address health issues, some of which may be of long standing. It is possible you may have to revamp everything that you thought you knew.

GEMINI - May 21-June 20 - Mercury enters your solar sixth house on Sunday; a greater quantity of serious messages come in, possibly related to making health-related followup visits. Aspects to the Sun in Libra (and Saturday's New Moon in Libra) in your house of children may bring concerns about them to the forefront, although this may be good news about expecting a new grand-baby.

CANCER - June 21-July 22 - Mercury enters your solar fifth house on Sunday; you may act as social secretary, making reservations for a bus to Anne Rice's New Orleans, or similar destinations. Jupiter in your sign sextiles Ceres in Virgo, making me imagine you selling produce or jams at the local farmers market or at work. Aspects to the Sun this week, and the New Moon in Libra on Saturday, raise family issues to the forefront; how to balance home and career demands may be entwined with a mate's desire to control events.

LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 – The Moon is in Leo from 3:57 am Sunday till Tuesday afternoon. Leos find sympathetic company for dinner Sunday – or maybe just a good audience. You may stay up past midnight expressing your wild or eccentric individuality. You may have an emotional reaction to news Monday night, something that puts you on top o' the world and revs your engine to high. Aspects to the Sun this week, and the New Moon in Libra on Saturday, put educational matters on the front burner.

VIRGO - Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – The Moon is in Virgo from 2:52 pm Tuesday till Thursday night. Tuesday night does not favor going to a new hangout, since it is too easy to get lost. You might prefer catching up on calls or emails. Start off Wednesday morning with a strong affirmation to stiffen your spine. Mid-morning favors a meeting with a mentor or older advisor. On Thursday afternoon you may locate a sibling or neighbor to swap favors with. Aspects to the Sun this week, and the New Moon in Libra on Saturday, accent financial matters.

LIBRA - Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – Mercury enters your solar second house on Sunday; you spend some time analyzing finances, tracking payments and expenses. The Moon is in lovely Libra from 10:59 pm Thursday till next Sunday morning. New people may walk into your life you are significant at least in the short term, not as a love object but as something that you struggle against. Try not to overdo or blow things out of proportion Saturday morning. You are your usual energetic self Saturday night, possibly putting a great deal of energy into a project or relationship. SEE NEW MOON NOTES and Mercury transiting aspect notes.

SCORPIO - Oct. 23-Nov. 21 - Mercury enters your sign on Sunday; lots of people walk into your life, possibly some from past lives. Saturn in your sign ties in tightly with the Sun transits and New Moon. The New Moon could usher in a family health crisis, possibly that of a child, although I must add that it may be just a wake-up call. A sextile between Saturn and Vesta is applying; a friend may be the friend indeed who helps out in a pinch.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 22-Dec. 21 - Mercury enters your solar twelfth house on Sunday; secret messages come your way, or you have confidential discussions of Big Secrets. With the New Moon in Libra, your beauty-loving friends may disapprove of your strong interest in avant-garde styles. Juno in your third house is applying to a square to Mercury; a sibling or neighbor may try to fix you up with someone.

CAPRICORN - Dec. 22-Jan. 19 - Mercury enters your solar eleventh house on Sunday; you may edit or print the newsletter for a cause or a service group, or possibly the undertakers' society. The New Moon on Saturday directly impacts you, possibly due to conflicting demands of family and career. You may be asked to give up one or the other, at least for the short term. For the long term, be very careful of data and check it out for accuracy or incompleteness.

AQUARIUS - Jan. 20-Feb. 17 - Mercury enters your solar tenth house on Sunday; you might prepare a speech or PowerPoint for a conference. Watch what you say to your partners, due to Mercury in Scorpio squaring Juno in your sign; you may have a lot of discussion with partners in any case. The New Moon may force a revamp or upgrade in computer systems or other communications.

PISCES - Feb. 18-March 19 - Mercury enters your solar ninth house on Sunday; your mind seeks stimulation and wisdom, leading you to sign up for a class or online discussion group. Health insurance matters work out this week. The New Moon on Saturday may force a change in your routine, where you may even nurse a family member through their illness. An internet forum provides flirtatious fun and diversion.
