This calendar is providing highlights of each week mentioning important Moon events
and the planetary influences for the week. Sometimes the planetary influences
are felt for several days and so I decided to write a brief summary for each week.
We have three Super Moons during the next two months. Watch for unusually powerful storms or events that involve large numbers of people. The next few months are filled with astrological influences that could produce a sense of spinning out of your center. Remain calm and focused on what you value in principles and deeds.
Week of APR 20 to 26
FULL MOON is on Apr. 20, at 4:26 AM MDT. The Moon is at Apogee on the 23rd. This week could feel like a push/pull movement with the Apogee Moon and the grand earth trine. The Sun, Saturn and Pluto are creating the Grand Trine. The practical and resistant side of life is faced with the potential of losses (Pluto) but also some great opportunity for re-construction.
Ease with building something that is solid is a potential. Your talent with gardening, teaching, and organizing can be a gift this week.
Week of APR 27- MAY 3
Saturn goes Direct late on the 2nd of May in MDT. Mars opposes Jupiter. Control issues could intensify. US Presidential candidates could feel exhausted (no surprise here) with no let up on their required responsible responses.
Week of MAY 4 – 10
With the NEW MOON on May 5th and the Moon at Perigee on the 6th it is close enough to be called a **“SUPER MOON”. Arguments could be exhausting. Go for being creative and express your love for others instead. Steer clear of moodiness. Take your “B” vitamins and get enough sleep. Since Jupiter goes Retrograde on the 9th try to get consensus with your team, family or business group by the 8th of May.
Week of MAY 11– 17
This week starts out with (Mothers Day in US) a Leo first quarter Moon and squares to the Moon. Make plans to be open to whatever way you can accomplish your desires and goals. Squares are not the worse things that could happen, in fact, they often are great opportunities for improving a situation. People will enjoy spending money, so the economy might look promising. Noting that Saturn and Pluto are in harmony we might get some important truth and factual work done. This is a good week to organize to reduce clutter.
Week of MAY 18 – 24
Full Moon on May 19 in MDT and
the Moon is at Apogee on the 20th.This is close enough to be **another “SUPER MOON ” time. We move into the Gemini period on the 21st of May. The easiest way to nurture and heal others will be with words. Look for eloquence in speeches but also look out for exaggerations.
If you feel blocked energy in your work, relationships, or art – remember to breathe and to jump up and down to awaken your central nervous system
Week of MAY 25 – MAY 31
Speeches that transcend the ordinary could be on the menu for this week also, especially since Mercury trines Neptune and both go Retrograde on May 26. OK, we all might want to go back to the drawing board and re-do our visions for a better society and world. Ideas are not empty that fill up space with energy and produce an influence. Stay on the right side of the road as you step out into the world with your ideas.
Week of JUN 1 – 7
**This week has another Super Moon. On June 3rd the Moon is at Perigee joined with the NEW MOON. The Gemini New Moon will highlight information, and creative movement. Emotions might seem on hold though. New jobs and new ideas could be advertised. Because Gemini is an air element there could be storms that involve wind.
Week of JUN 8 – 14
In this week Venus and Mercury are conjunct while Mars and Jupiter begin an opposition. Venus and Mercury are suggesting that we speak from the heart and communicate our values. While the opposition of Mars and Jupiter offer a way to balance ego and desires with what is beneficial for all concerned. Noting that on the 10th the Moon enters the first quarter, it is a good time to join with others for generous assistance.
Week of JUN 15 – 21
US Father’s Day on the 15th just 3 days before the Moon is full once again on the 18th. The Moon is apogee on the 16th and the good news is that Mercury goes Direct on the 19th. Listen to the stories that are told and find ways to share your stories for inspiration this week.
The Lunar apogee is similar to a waning Moon phase when the energy is contracting and the Moon is farthest from the earth.
People tend to feel more anxious with this phase because they are aware that there is less and less time to get things done. Also, they could feel that there isn’t time for love. This is a stressful time.
The Lunar perigee is similar to a waxing or building Moon phase and the Moon is closest to the earth.Although this could produce moodiness it also can produce creativity and love.
** Super Moons are when the Moon is full or new and at the same time at perigee or apogee. The 24 hours within this cycle can affect tidal influences such as tsunamis.
