Sun: Sagittarius 6°-12° Moon: Aquarius-Taurus
As the Sun moves through the first decan of Sagittarius we are starting to open up to the new storyline we are living based on the new beliefs that we have. By the end of the week when the Sun makes its trine to Chiron (retro) in Aries at 12°, we will have an idea of the belief and reaction patterns we are healing away from in order to really step into this new story that we have created for ourselves.
Mercury and Venus continue ahead of the Sun in Sagittarius and are having conversations with several planets this week. On Monday Mercury makes a quincunx to Uranus(retro) in Taurus at 16°, followed by Venus on Tuesday and our minds are considering the long term process of moving away from our old identity so that we can truly connect with the new values we hold now and wish to manifest from going forward. You could be playing the ‘shoulds’ game with yourself this week, but it is important to use this time to recognize how far you have come, and why you have made the changes you have made so far. Lean into the new values you are working to establish in your life and it will reflect in your new storyline.

AN EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE DRAWS A LARGE CROWD
This week’s strongest aspect is Mars (retro) in Gemini trine to Saturn in Aquarius at 19°, which comes into perfection on Monday. The old ways we used to behave, based on how we used to perceive the world, could be strongly showing us how it has led to the creation of the vibration we are acting on now. The relationship between how your ego responds to information and the vibration you hope to protect via the actions you are taking will be in the forefront this week. What actions are you taking to move away from your old response patterns and ways of perceiving daily life? Are you noticing how these behaviors directly affect the vibration you are committed to achieving? Saturn will move to 20° at the end of the week and you may start to recognize where your self-discipline needs to level up in order to protect your feelings around the new vibration you hope to achieve.

A CAFETERIA WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF CHOICES
Mercury and Venus will join the Mars/ Saturn conversation by making oppositions to Mars and sextiles to Saturn. Mercury’s opposition and sextile both happen at 19° on Tuesday and our minds are having to weigh our past behaviors, while seeking harmonious solutions for a new self-discipline action plan to maintain your new vibration. Make sure it’s something sustainable. (You can’t go road tripping/ (insert favorite activity) forever…..or can you?)
Venus makes her opposition to Mars at 18° and her sextile to Saturn at 19° on Thursday. After our minds have weighed into our old behavior patterns, based on what we thought we knew, and considered new action plans that could help sustain our new vibe, we are now able to open up to reconsidering our old commitments, because they no longer fit in with our new perspective and what our ego feels capable of committing to. Venus’ sextile to Saturn will help us to open up to a new action plan that not only protects what we believe now, but allows us to maintain the vibe we desire to lead with into the future.

IN WINTER PEOPLE ARE CUTTING ICE FROM A FROZEN POND FOR SUMMER USE
To round out their conversations this week, Mercury and Venus will make squares to Neptune in Pisces at 22°, who stations direct Saturday. Mercury makes his square on Thursday while Neptune is still retrograde and our minds are replaying and reconsidering all the old timelines we felt we belonged with in the past. You will need to keep the faith on Thursday that everything you have been through, that has gotten you to this point, was meant to take you to the next level of your ordained future. This will require changes and moving away from old ways of thinking about your future. Stay open to the possibilities that present themselves now that you are seeing things in a new way.
Venus makes her square on Sunday, after Neptune stations direct, and we are truly starting to open up to the changes that are needed so that we can move towards the new future we belong with. Changes will happen whether we make them or not, oftentime things are out of our control, it is up to us to stay open and grounded in the faith that it’s all for our highest good. The Sun trines Chiron (retro) on the same day, helping us further to heal away from the behaviors driven by our old beliefs.
Jupiter moves to 29° of Pisces on Sunday as well, and we are on the brink of our transition into our new life. We have recognized the behaviors needed for our new feelings, and you could be tested on how you are expanding into the new integrity that we need in preparation for protecting our new beliefs and opportunities. It’s time to find a new way of sustaining your sense of self- you have changed, and as you can imagine, layers of the old are stripping off to unearth the new you. It’s not an immediate process, but one that unfolds over time.
Black Moon Lilith moves to 26° as well and fears could come up around the kind of care you allowed yourself in the past. BML will not come into an exact opposition with Pluto in Capricorn until they are both at 27°, but as they are both at 26° you will begin to feel into the tension created by these fears and how they could be holding you back from your transformation process. It’s time to recognize that these old fears no longer apply, and whatever actions they are keeping you from will inhibit your ability to balance your new work/care axis appropriately.
