Lunar position – Leo until Virgo at 6:09 AM PDT; (VOC from 5:04 AM PTD to 6:08 AM PTD) – The Moon moves into Virgo in the early hours of the morning bringing order and routine to your day. You’re feeling calm and not particularly motivated. In fact, that may reflect a longer-term issue that keeps you from achieving success. It may be helpful to begin rituals that assist you in your focus and help you develop healthy habits. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Taurus, Gemini, and Aquarius provide the strongest sign influence today with Gemini signaling the qualities of many ideas and communication-oriented, curious/superficial, overly chatty, and scattered thinking/perception/focus; Taurus influencing stability, values, routine, stubbornness, and self-indulgence; and Aquarius providing a group consciousness and humanitarian approach that may also rebel against the status quo.

- A semisquare with Ceres cautions that conflict may arise over how nurturing occurs within close relationships
- A semisquare with Eris signals the potential to speak truth to power (Seltzer)
Black Moon Lilith ~ 12th House/Taurus — You may resist change while in Taurus and it may be difficult to move out of your comfort zone. In the 12th House of endings, things that are hidden (fears, enemies), the collective unconscious, karma, and service to others, Lilith’s darker side may impact relationships with others, with fear at the heart of a more solitary existence.
Node influences ~ N Node – Gemini; S Node – Sagittarius describes the need for self-control and a focus on a spiritual perspective. The challenge involves understanding the viewpoints of others as well as expressing your own in a helpful and respectful manner.
- A trine between the North Node and Saturn (sextile the South Node) suggests an enthusiastic attitude that can direct you into achievement in many areas
- Chiron trine the South Node indicates that profound growth from a difficult situation or illness in your life may benefit others
- Pallas square the N Node/S Node suggests a new strategy may be beneficial when understanding the viewpoints of others
Lunar Phase ~ Waxing; 1st Qtr on 20 Apr 2021 at 0:00 AM PDT at 00°Le25; Full on 26 Apr 2021 at 8:32 PM at 07°Sc06′
Mansion of the Moon – 12th – Alsarfah – 21°Leo25′; tail of Leo; increases harvest, obstructs sailors, promotes care for employees and captives
Retrograde ~ Juno – suggests a look inward in how you select, commit to, and interact with partners in your life
Polarity – Masculine (10), Feminine (13) – feminine or receptive polarity is strongest suggesting compassion and empathy today
Elemental Influence ~ The Air and Earth elements are having the strongest impact today suggesting intellect, reason, and rationality along with material concerns are in focus.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Fixed sign qualities are strongest suggesting stability and routine are favored today.
Rays ~ The 4th Ray of harmony through conflict continues its strong impact today and with the 2nd Ray of love/wisdom and its own strong effect, it suggests that we’re drawing information from a higher source that informs our interactions with others. The 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science is likely influencing that as well.
The 1st, 3rd, and 7th Rays are all having the least effect suggesting that our will and intellect are either a given or not having much of an influence on what we manifest today.
Finally, the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism is increasing somewhat today signaling the hold on ideology is increasing. That said, the strong 2nd Ray effect should help keep any extreme 6th Ray expression in check.
