Weekly Forecast & David Pond in Reno May 18th - 22nd

For a talk and Astrology consultations

I will be in Reno next month, giving a talk at Laura Benedict's studio and available for astrology readings while I am in town.

 Talk on Upcoming Astrology Cycles: A New Wind Blowing

There is a new wind blowing in astrology, after the last few years of dreary astrology, the first positive aspects are upon us. We are still in the updraft of the recent Jupiter/Uranus conjunction and the unexpected opportunities and breakthroughs that this brings—and it keeps getting better. Jupiter will be moving into Gemini in late May in a harmonious trine to Pluto in Aquarius—this will provide a mental upgrade for all of us, opening the mind to see the world in a more positive and optimistic way. The trine to Pluto provides a deeper understanding of self and this greater self-acceptance leads to greater success.  Suitable for all levels

This week’s astrology forecast: April 22nd to 28th

Message for the week:

The three main astrological events happening this week are Tuesday’s Full Moon in Scorpio, Mercury turning direct on Thursday, and Mars conjunct Neptune this weekend. Full Moons are always intense, and this one being in passionate intense Scorpio is also square to shadowy Pluto, making it all the more intense. Scorpio would rather deal with a hard truth than an easy white lie, and the Pluto square brings hidden, uncomfortable truths to light. This facillitates deep inner investigation with a spotlight on our shadow. Can you hold space in your psyche for all aspects of yourself, even those considered taboo? This prompts a transformation of previously limiting beliefs. Deep acceptance is a higher octave of forgiveness.

The welcome news of Mercury finally turning direct on Thursday, ends three weeks of do overs and miscommunications, yeah! You should begin to feel more articulate again, able to say what you mean clearly. An easier time for travel plans, all communications, and generally, the ability to move forward without as many snafus.

The Mars/Neptune conjunction in Pisces this weekend dserves consideration. Mars, the planet of how we take action, influenced by imagination-rich Neptune, clouds normal perception with a magical, multicolered veil and is excellent for creativity, romance, dancing, but not for practical decisions. Enjoy the rose colored glasses, but don’t choose paint samples with them on!

Monday: The Moon is in relationship-sensitive Libra opposite the Mercury, Venus/Chiron conjunction in Aries. You may have to practice deep acceptance of other people’s behavior that seems contrary to what you value.  To stay balanced and keep the cherished Libra peace, allow other people their differences.

Tuesday: An emotionally intense day with the Moon entering deep feeling Scorpio this morning, leading to the Full Moon at 4:49 PM PST, while in a provocative square to eruptive Pluto—like going to the cosmic dentist to root out decay going on beneath the surface. If you are willing to face your shadow material, deep transformation can take place—either you root out the behavior causing the decay, or transform your beliefs to allow what you have been denying.

Wednesday: Ahh! A smooth day, after yesterday’s uber intense Full Moon, with the Moon in intimacy-seeking Scorpio supported by an empowering trine to “taking care of business” Saturn. Along with greater emotional stability, this steady, focused energy is available for financial dealings and decisions.

Thursday: A smooth day and fun evening is in store with Mercury turning direct, ending three weeks of snafus. The Moon starts the day in introspective Scorpio in a harmonious trine to the Mars/Neptune conjunction. The Moon moves into upbeat, extroverted Sagittarius this evening in a stimulating sextile to Pluto, creating an openness to almost anything—let the adventure begin!

Friday: A good day for travel, adventure and getting out and exploring a bit, with the Moon in “don’t fence me in” Sagittarius and with no aspects. This jovial, “happy go lucky” energy is infectious—humor goes a long way for opening doors today.

Saturday: The Moon is in optimistic Sagittarius in a supportive trine to Chiron—you may feel called on to help a friend move beyond limiting, wounding beliefs. A good day for getting out of doors and to get those legs moving. You may feel a bit amorous late tonight with the Moon’s aspects to the cosmic lovers, Mars and Venus.

Sunday: The Moon enters productive Capricorn this morning in a flowing trine to the energizing Sun in Taurus—which suggests a day of tending to responsibilities. However, Mars (action) is conjunct mystical, magical Neptune, and will resist the mundane world of daily life. A good day to put-on rose-colored glasses (and remember you are wearing them) and plan an enchanting, fanciful day to get the best of this.

May the stars be with you!

David
