Message for Wednesday 2 April 2025

○ Wednesday, and Spring Forecast ○ 1 Not kidding: While Mercury and Venus remain retrograde, the House unexpectedly will be unable to carry on business for the rest of this week. No voting, says Mike Johnson, until next Monday, according to Politico. For reasons that remain obscure to me. Except that Mercury and Venus are retrograde. 2 At the end of yesterday's report I said we would continue discussing the Good Grief! aspect, Venus conjoining Saturn. It's not fun. It lasts by a 10 degree orb from March 22 through May 13. Reducing the orb to 5 degrees would make it March 28 through May 5. This is an unusually long duration, so let's deep-dive. 3 Says Sydney Omarr: "This is a nasty one. Plan nothing social for this time. You are likely to expect too much of your friends and you may feel somewhat dull, unhappy or slighted, and get your precious feelings hurt. If you are disposed to be jealous, now is the time for the exhibition of this charming trait, with misunderstandings, grouches, sensitiveness, wounded feelings, and tragedies constructed out of vague imaginings. Your plans for pleasure are apt to go wrong. The one person you wanted to see won't turn up, the company will be dull and stupid, the arrangements poor. You will act awkwardly, say yes when you mean no, and be misunderstood. Every mirror you gaze in will insult you. It's a good time to stay home, have a good shampoo, and mend socks." 4 At a deeper level there can be sorrow, grief, separation, or bereavement. Thoughts of death seem to bring a final self-judgement. During this same period the square between Saturn and Jupiter calls us to try harder to manifest our ideals; to actualize our soul's high aspirations no matter the cost. 5 Happily, to smooth things out, Venus and Mars are in a very long-lasting trine, March 24 through June 13. By a tighter 5 degree orb this is March 30 through June 2. We seek affection, sympathy, love and enjoyment. There can be peace, harmony and sincerity. Family and relatives are well-disposed. There is ease in social activities. Prosperity surges if Saturn does not suppress it. There can be intimate, sympathetic friendships. 6 And so through April, May and much of June we are balancing no-nonsense, soulful responsibility (paragraphs 3 and 4) with readily available satisfactions (paragraph 5). Tangles in the process shall untangle beginning April 7 and even more beginning April 26. ○ Wednesday, and Spring Forecast ○ Cosmic Piper Moon in Gemini Karmically sobering third of this week is with us until Friday morning
