Astro-Notes on April 7, 2014 – nurturing self-promotion

The waxing Cancer Moon’s square to the Aries Sun at 4:30 am EDT marked the First Quarter Moon event in the Aries lunation cycle. This ‘crisis in action’ challenges us to be more self-supportive and caring toward ourselves. As the Vesta-Pallas sextile perfects together with the Mars-Juno opposition, we have a chance to ‘revise our attitude’ (keynote of the Sabian Symbol for the Aries New Moon) if we reinvest in ourselves and live in the moment, recognizing that only if we love ourselves can we do the same for others. Mercury will make ingress to Aries at 11:34 am EDT, where he will be traversing until April 23, which corresponds to a period during which we focus on Beingness as well as on beginnings and new initiatives, make new connections and communicate our intentions and will.

Tarot card of the day is the 6 of Wands”, suggesting that things are changing in a positive way. There is the possibility of acclaim and acknowledgment. It could be our day to shine or we could be coming out on top. We strive to be successful and seek to promote ourselves more frequently in order to gain the recognition we desire. However, it is important that we keep the ego in check.
