PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY April 16 2018 to April 22 2018 Monday April 16 New Build More Sally Fisher Art here. New Moons always signal fresh starts as well as the emergence of exciting new goals. Tonight's New Moon takes place in the part of the sky occupied by revolutionary Uranus, so it brings a particularly dramatic shift of priorities. Fortunately we have Jupiter forming an alignment with Venus too. The cosmic suggestion is that if we tend to our affairs with care, we can guarantee strong growth. With Mercury now direct, we can also be confident that any maintenance problems will easily be ironed out. Tuesday April 17 Hearts Together More Sally Fisher Art here. As Venus opposes Jupiter she also forms a strong relationship with Pluto and reignites a powerful relationship between these two planets. But although these celestial shenanigans involve three heavenly bodies, it's more of a love-in than a love triangle! The supportive nature of the bond between kind Venus and powerful Pluto, and the encouragement Jupiter and Pluto give one another supersedes any competition. It's a time for hearts to grow together, not further apart. Wednesday April 18 Saturn More Sally Fisher Art here. Saturn has been sitting almost perfectly still, looking over proceedings with a critical eye. Today it begins its annual move backwards through the skies. As the great cosmic teacher returns to pastures old, it will keep us grounded and remind us of the value of keeping focused on life's gifts rather than life's fancies. As positive and exciting as much of your life appears to be, following the Sun and Moon's convergence with Uranus, it's worth shoring up foundations as we prepare to embark on a time of inner growth. Thursday April 19 It's Not Easy Being Green More Sally Fisher Art here. An internet meme is claiming that tomorrow's astrological alignments will cause the Moon to turn green for the first time in 420 years! Although I hate to be a buzz-kill this is not going to happen. April is the fourth month and tomorrow is its 20th day; believe it or not, this is a hoax which plays on the number 420. That number was an old Californian code for marijuana (the joke-suggestion being that 4.20pm was the right time to partake)! It might be more appropriate to remember the hippie ideals of love and peace today. Friday April 20 All Change More Sally Fisher Art here. As the Sun changes signs it marks an elemental shift from fiery Aries to earthy Taurus. And the significance of this annual event is enhanced as, within a month, Uranus prepares to join the Sun in its new home. The celestial focus highlights the importance of the physical, sharpens our senses and makes us aware of the resources we have at our disposal. With Pluto turning retrograde, we'll have to dig deep to feel powerful in this environment. But what we unearth really can inspire new growth. Saturday April 21 Your Week Ahead More Sally Fisher Art here. 'Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble' chanted Shakespeare's witches. Although there's no need to worry about any prophecies that I might be making this week, it's true to say that there's something dark, mysterious and powerful afoot. Rather than being a curse, though, the convergence of Mars with newly retrograde Pluto suggests that the time is ripe to explore new hidden strengths. Now that Mercury is direct once more and repeating its link with Saturn, there's a sense of magic in the air. Sunday April 22 Your Week Ahead - Love Focus More Sally Fisher Art here.
