If Your Birthday is April 26
(The Day of the Cultivator) | Taurus Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
A New Moon on your birthday is inviting you to explore bolder horizons. As long as you take care of yourself, you have your options open; which is to say, you have more flexibility than you may think — though this will require your imagination. You can become the person you want to be, if you have a vision for who that is.

Written in the Planets
Chiron is nearing the end of its eight-year sojourn in Pisces. Today’s square to the Galactic Core could be seen as something of a milestone, marking a step closer to the Aries boundary. What have you learned since 2010, both in terms of your personal healing journey and the wider environment? This year is an opportunity both to wrap up certain matters for good, and take others to the next level. Understanding what has changed for you recently may provide a good clue for plotting your course in the months ahead.

Join Eric live on Saturday, May 6 for his exciting new class, Eroticism: The Cosmic Mirror. Eric will bring everything he’s learned from studying tantra as well as the planets. There’s never been another astrology class like this.

If Your Birthday is April 25
(The Day of Physical Substance) | Taurus Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Have you ever noticed that even when your mind feels confused, your body knows what’s up? The thing is, Western society has done a great job of separating the two, especially now that we live so much of our lives via digital technology. If today you become aware of how much influence a difficult-to-heal psychological hurt has had on your bodily wellbeing, take heart. Your physical senses likely hold clues as to how to begin addressing it.

Written in the Planets
Chaos was the supreme Greek creation deity — the forebear of the primary gods including Gaia (Earth) and Eros (the love that softens hearts; also the creative/sexual life-force). It’s possible for the object Chaos to indicate in astrology the kind of crazy making we all dread; but most often it represents an access point to the fertile void. Today, Chaos and the asteroid Eros make a conjunction in Gemini. It’s a fascinating image, and calls to mind primordial single-cell organisms splitting themselves or fertilizing themselves to bring forth new life, and a new order. Or maybe it describes how there’s more than one way to love yourself, and that when you do, you essentially birth a new you that never existed before. Play around with all the possibilities.

Mercury, Venus and Chiron on the Move

This week we reach turning points in Mercury retrograde, the recent Venus retrograde and Saturn square Chiron.

First, a reminder to take part in our spring reading event, INVOLUTION: The Revolution is Within. This covers how all the current astrology influences your mind, feelings and growth, reaching out to the Great American Eclipse of Aug. 21.

Fractal. Image: codewiz.org.

I’m planning to begin recording video this week, aiming for Fantasy #1, which is to have this done before Beltane. In a way similar to The Book of Your Life, your 2017 annual reading, I’ll be working under Mercury retrograde conditions, which may be challenging, but it produces an excellent result.

Mercury retrograde at its most productive compels originality and pushes a person to see the world from other viewpoints than normal. This is particularly true as it’s changing directions — and especially when it’s doing so conjunct one or more of the high-amperage outer planets — in this case, the Uranus-Eris conjunction.

As Mercury retrograde wraps up one week from Wednesday, I’ll also be in final preparation for my May 6 class, timed for Beltane: Astrology, Relationships and Sexuality. It may not be as much fun as Beltane sex in a forest or on the beach at dawn, but I will do my best.

The idea of this class is to get underneath society’s (and astrology’s) usual (less than hopeful) ideas about sex and relating to other humans, and see how many fresh ideas come out of the chart. The zodiac has a place for everyone; this is not a matter of "one size fits all." I’ll have more on that in a letter soon. You can sign up here.

First Venus; then Mercury; then a comment about the Saturn-Chiron square, exact Sunday, April 30, with the intensity focused all week.

Venus stationed direct on April 15, in a conjunction to Pisces. As of today, it’s still slow and powerful, making its way across the last degrees of the zodiac. You can think of the very end regions of Pisces as a seeding area for a forthcoming Venus cycle. This is a time to listen, feel and envision the love that you want in your life. It’s also a time to consider reaching out to those you care about, including people you haven’t seen or heard from in a long time.

If Your Birthday is April 24
(The Day of the Protective Chronicler) | Taurus Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You might find yourself in a position of some influence, in part due to your expertise on a particular subject. You may be able to offer guidance; or rather to help others reach their own conclusions. Remember that education can also be an exchange process. Nobody ever needs to stop learning.

Written in the Planets
Aspects by Mercury may be describing the importance of truth, which in our times is being somewhat challenged. Stoke your passion for truth today. Watch your communications — and those of others — and make a point of fostering your skeptical sense. If you find yourself tempted to conceal or obfuscate anything, consider your reasons. Especially take note of any feeling resembling shame, fear or guilt, and examine what that might be about.

If Your Birthday is April 23
(The Day of Adopted Security) | Taurus Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You may be in for some interesting dialogue with your deeper self. Most of us have a core principle or set of guidelines that we hold to no matter what. With a landscape around you that is continually shifting, you might feel the need to review at least a part of this; alternatively, you could bring some of your philosophy further into the open. You don’t necessarily need to verbalize your beliefs: living true to them is enough.

Written in the Planets
The line where feeling meets fact is probably not agreed upon by many at a time. Some suggest we should treat anything not strictly evidence-based with deep suspicion. A certain amount of skepticism is healthy. Yet there is more to instincts and feelings than meets the eye, especially in day-to-day existence. You could discover something, during the truth-revealing process that is Mercury retrograde, that might well be said to vindicate a hunch of yours.

If Your Birthday is April 22
(The Day of Established Presence) | Taurus Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
They say sharing is caring. And today, when you share yourself through self-expression, it will be clear to those you’re sharing with just how devoted and caring you are. This includes when you share how much you are hurting, or when you share the steps you are taking to heal an emotional issue and to take care of yourself. You’d be surprised how much strength people can take from witnessing your process, and the inner strength you display in doing so. If you can express yourself creatively — such as through art, music, writing or theater — all the better.

Written in the Planets
It is possible that what you write today could have significant emotional impact. Indeed, it might seem to equalize a field that might otherwise be difficult to be heard amongst. Retrograde Mercury in Aries today squares Varuna in Cancer. Mercury’s inward-looking or backward-looking influence could mean that the impact your words have is primarily on yourself, or on some facet of yourself from the past that you are just now coming to understand. Whichever direction your words find their mark, note that the point Cupido in Sagittarius is making a trine to Mercury. Speak with love — straight from the heart, no matter what you say — and the universe will likely offer support.

“Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee, is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns. These things and deeds are diametrically opposed: they are as distinct as is vice from virtue. Men too often confound them: they should not be confounded: appearance should not be mistaken for truth.”

If Your Birthday is April 21
(The Day of Professional Commitment) | Taurus Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Today looks like one of those days you can sense the steps along the path toward your soul’s purpose. Yet you can also feel the old emotional habits that hold you back. What’s really cool is that you’re in this position to be aware of both, and to draw support from them. It always takes a little more effort to release bad habits, but making that effort today looks like it will yield results. Stay focused on how good it feels to move toward your dharma and to serve something greater than yourself. In doing so, you’ll cut down significantly any fear of the unknown, and can stay more focused on the present.

Written in the Planets
If you find yourself on the verge of letting loose with a particularly sharp verbal zinger today, see if you can shift into slo-mo before your mouth opens. Mars moves into Gemini this morning, which could bring hot-headedness to your tongue — even if you’re “only joking.” Remember, Mercury is retrograde, which cautions against speaking, texting and emailing faster than your full awareness can keep up. And since Mercury is now in Mars’ sign and Mars is in Mercury’s sign, that’s double the speed and heat at which mind and mouth could be operating. Choose your debate partners carefully, get physical to channel excess energy, and give your mind a constructive job to focus on.

If Your Birthday is April 20
(The Day of Worldly Challenge) | Birthday Readings: Aries | Taurus | All Other Signs
There are certain notions or habits that can be carried down through a family tree almost like a gene. If a specific pattern is arising now and you’re not aware of its origin, start by researching your genealogy and getting to know your ancestors more thoroughly. Eventually you should receive an idea as if crossing a threshold, which is likely to help you see with a broader perspective.

Written in the Planets
Pluto now joins the retrograde parade, and Mercury enters Aries on its own backward journey. Many of us have been feeling rather buffeted by recent events, while already somewhat bewildered by the onrush of daily information we receive through technology. We might all need to slow our own pace a little. Drift with the tide, and don’t push yourself beyond your means. Think your plans over carefully and thoroughly. You have more time than you imagine.
