THE GOOD

With the ingression of the Moon into the sign of Libra, the Queen of Heaven takes her place at the bench in the courtroom, holding the scales of Justice with which she determines what is true and noble. But Libra and its themes go well beyond a hackneyed sense of right and wrong. Libra focuses on The Good in a divine sense, and spending the proper amount of time pondering, reflecting, and sharing life with others in order to attain this good. In this sign, the Moon deliberates and weighs options in order to determine what will be the best course of action in all aspects of life.

Jupiter’s trine will help you with this, offering you great support as you try to deepen your relationship to your own sense of what is true and good. You will be blessed with more confidence, more self-esteem, and will probably find allies and guides rallying around you if you push yourself out of your comfort zone a little. This applies to all aspects of life , but especially to communication and getting your message across (air sign trine).

As with the last period, the trine from Saturn is a mixed bag. Hard at first, greatly rewarding in the long run. Saturn will continue to make you examine and question the insights with which Jupiter provides you. This is natural - Jupiter sows the seeds, and Saturn will ensure that only the best seeds actually sprout and germinate into something concrete in your life.

What problem areas in life are you not giving enough thought? What challenging situations or people in your life are you glossing over? Who or what in your life is deserving of more careful and critical analysis?

THE BAD

Mars moves from Gemini into Cancer just as the Moon moves into Libra. So we have to deal with the exact same square from as we did last period. The Mars square creates tension, conflict, and disagreement between people in general. Getting along with others will be much more challenging, and you will be more inclined towards the contrarian sides of Libra than the harmonious ones. You may also find yourself getting very internally frustrated. Watch out if you have any major planets in Cancer, as these next few days could really trigger the irritability and frustration that Mars can bring to the fore in people’s lives.

The Moon enters the Burnt Path (Via Combusta) Monday morning. Emotions can become very extreme, and there is a lot of instability in the air. People can be more volatile than usual.

THE WYRD

As the Moon enters the Burnt Path, the potential for hauntings and disruptive psychic phenomena increases. Unless you’re an adept with particular expertise with astral protection mechanisms, make sure to smudge and do some spiritual practices before bed every evening.

According to the Greek Magical Papyri (PGM), Libra Moons are ideal times for necromancy. This is in keeping with the character of the Via Combusta. Now’s your chance to summon your ancestors for a soiree macabre. (The team at Ancient Astrology is not liable for the loss of life and limb that comes from any irresponsible attempts to bind shades to your will.)

Remember, everything that I tell you here needs to be indexed to your natal chart, especially the house placement of the Moon, any major transits and the time lords in your life. A strong period for one person may be more challenging for another. I am currently taking on new clients for readings, and I would be very happy to walk you through your own chart and astrological weather - book a session with me here!

ASTROLOGICAL SIGNATURES

Entry: Saturday, April 24th at 12:05pm EDT / 4:05pm UTC

Departure: Monday, April 26th at 12:18pm EDT / 4:18pm UTC.

Moon in Libra: Place of Sectmate. The Moon finds moderate support from Venus. Libra Moons are excellent periods for meetings, discussions, research, and conversations that require diplomacy and tact. Conversation, dialogue, and anything which involves the meeting of the minds - especially in the one-on-one context - will be greatly supported during this period.

Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Moveable Air. Movability (cardinality) indicates short and quick bursts of activity that are cut short and not seen through as often. The Moon and our own moods, activities, and attention spans tend to flit from one thing to the next. The air element promotes mental stimulation and any activities which involve communication and language. Air Moons tend to be very chatty and conversational, preferring discussion and the medium of language to anything else.

Moon’s ruler: Aversion to Venus in Taurus. Normally the aversion is a debility, but in this case they are both in signs ruled by the same planet (Venus) and have a hidden sympathy known as like-engirding. This functionality means that there is a supportive aspect between them.

Relationship to the Sun: Aversion to the Sun in Taurus. This is a neutral placement. Outer events and circumstances will not noticeably support you and create feelings of flow, but they won’t necessarily go out of their way to hinder you either.

Aspects

• Inferior Cardinal Square to Mars in Cancer. Arguments, fights, tension, discord, and conflict. Greater potential for burnout and overextending yourself. You may find yourself getting angrier more easily. Any progress or initiative on your end is likely to come from overwhelming anger and frustration at your current circumstances.

• Superior Air Trine to Jupiter in Aquarius. Help and support from authority figures, especially showing up through conversation and dialogue with the airy nature of the trine. Emotional buoyancy, good luck, and a potential for financial opportunities to develop. The airy nature of this trine encourages conversation and the exploration of ideas with others.

• Superior Air Trine to Saturn in Aquarius. Hard lessons that come through which effectively push people closer towards maturity and wisdom. Difficult experiences that teach you something profound and ultimately make you thankful for them. Slightly greater propensity for rumination and thought-loops, with the airy nature of the trine.
