A 2000 British Telecommunications study reported in the “Financial Times of London”  stated that there are ten percent more  phone calls in the days leading up to a full Moon. I have no idea why they would be interested in such a statistic nor do I totally believe it. However, it might be the case before the Moon goes full in Sagittarius! They do love to hold forth.

When the Sun and Moon are on the “communication axis” of Gemini and Sagittarius – the phone lines should burn up. However, since they are both squaring confusing Neptune be sure that what you are hearing is the truth.  There is too much deception and obfuscation in the air when Neptune gets cranky.

This would be a great time to assess how truthful you are in general – are you always honest with others and most importantly with yourself? Do you trust the words those closest to you? Should you?

Use these two “gabby” planets to assess your communications – whether you use the phone or not!

 

Uranus moves in Taurus today. This is not a comfortable position for Uranus because it can feel boxed in by grounded, earthy Taurus. That is not a good sensation for our most rebellious and irreverent planet. However, the combination of Urania innovation and Taurean dedication to the Earth and all things stable and strong can bode well for both climate change and infrastructure change. Perhaps we can finally get out of neutral on these dire issues and get something done!

This placement can also assist us in looking at new food sources. Uranus loves to live in the future and always thinks outside the box – and we know that this planet needs more way to feed the growing population.

The last time Uranus was in Taurus Franklin Roosevelt started infrastructure and conservation works programs to pull America out of the Depression. He also instituted major banking reforms (Taurus ruled by Venus loves the securitour senses on these issues and use this energy to make amends to mother Earth.

If you are feeling a little bit out of sorts or a bit emotionally frayed, blame it on the Sun and Moon/Jupiter square this week.

The Moon is already in unsettle Aquarius today. Aquarius has many fine qualities but calm reflection is not one of them – neither is a desire to sit still. This is a sign that always looks forward. The Moon finds its time in this sign as less than comforting.

Now the poor Moon hits square to a very stubborn Taurus Sun AND Jupiter in another fixed sign, Scorpio. It is like your emotions are churning and have no place to go.

My advice, especially if you have a Sun/Moon/Ascendant in any of these signs is to think twice and breathe three times before you act on those churning emotions until the end of the week.

In our charts Chiron indicates a deep wound that haunts us. Chiron produces sensations of disjointedness and a disconnection. When Chiron moves into Aries on April 17 be prepared to face issues of your basic vitality and direction.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and has domain over our personality, drive, ambition and aggression. When the “master of pain and uncertainty” arrives there you can imagine the internal turmoil he can bring. Look for concerns around:

1. Self direction
2. Life planning
3. Anger suppression
4. General vitality.

Of course, this will bother those with Chiron in Aries or its opposite sign Libra or who have Chiron aspecting their Sun or ascendant more. However, we can all benefit from a study of our drive. Where do you let others take the lead too much, where do you hide your desires to appease others? Do you swallow your anger instead of clearing the air?

Transits are great time to change – so find where you are blocking your inner drive?
