A good article about the energy that Venus is bringing into Aquarius ♒️

For once, no Pluto themes are in the spotlight of this month's newsletter. In March, the focus is on Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Neptune. They indicate an active and open atmosphere. A lunar eclipse in Libra at the end of the month calls for a sincere commitment to a stable foundation.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME
On March 1, the Pisces Sun forms a sextile to Jupiter in Taurus and is in a loose conjunction with Saturn and Mercury. Sincere thoughts and discussions are now on the agenda. Some prefer to remain silent and deal with spiritual issues. Social injustice and the suffering of the innocent are among the themes of the time.
At the same time, Venus in Aquarius forms a sextile to Chiron and the Moon's North Node in Aries. On March 3, she reaches the square with Uranus in Taurus. The powerful desire for personal freedom now urges many people to take action and work to improve the situation. The Moon's Node is conjunct Chiron until the middle of the month. Dealing with aggression and war could be at the top of the agenda during this time.
Mercury is in sextile to Uranus on the 4th, and Mars sextiles Chiron on the 7th. Business matters could now take unexpected turns that may well lead to success. However, you should assess the situation carefully and realistically before taking risks. Due to Mercury's conjunction with Neptune on March 8, there is a risk of misperceiving reality or deceiving someone.
Mars in Aquarius squares Uranus on March 9, indicating a tendency to act out and cause accidents. Pay particular attention to your behavior during this time and be careful in sports and road traffic.
On March 10, the New Moon in Pisces sextiles Uranus. Mercury has just reached Aries and makes a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius. One day later, Venus enters Pisces. That creates a somewhat contradictory quality of time. On the one hand, there is a yearning for peace and tranquillity, but the underlying nervousness could feel disturbing. Instead of the longed-for peace, minor conflicts and general dissatisfaction could consequently characterize everyday life.
On March 17, the Sun conjuncts Neptune. Once again, we realize that not just performance counts but that trust and a sense of belonging are also prerequisites for a successful life.
Three days later, on March 20, the Sun enters Aries. It is now the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and night and day are the same length. The Sun's entry into Aries marks the start of the astrological year and signifies a new beginning, which we could celebrate.
At the same time, Mercury is conjunct Chiron and the Moon's Node, and the Sun sextiles Pluto on the 21st. It is evident to all that we need to solve complex problems, but all options seem painful.
Venus conjuncts Saturn on the 22nd, indicating a willingness to find pragmatic solutions. Mars enters Pisces on March 23. His impulsiveness is now somewhat mellowed, focusing more attention on social issues.
On March 25, the Full Moon is at 5° Libra, linked to a lunar eclipse. It thematically picks up on recent events and calls for a serious examination of the changed conditions. A phase of consolidation now begins in which we must create a more stable situation.
It is advisable to tackle unfinished business without delay and clear the air, including in personal relationships. The quality of time of the upcoming solar eclipse on April 8 indicates that ignorance and denial of reality can become a real problem. Better tackle it now because the sextile of Venus and Uranus on March 28 offers excellent opportunities to get a deadlocked situation moving again.

Tin is the metal controlled by Jupiter.

In the Wizard of Oz the Tin man sings “I’d be tender I’d be gentle and awful sentimental regarding love and arts” these are traits of the sign Pisces ♓️ a sign Jupiter rules.
“I’d be friends with the sparrows, and the boy that shoots the arrow if I only had a heart “ the boy that shots the arrow is referring to Sagittarius ♐️ the other sign Jupiter rules.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME
The quality of time in April is exceedingly intense and full of surprises. Expect the unexpected! Two important constellations will shape astrological events this month: a Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 8 and the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus from April 15 to 26. Potent processes that require a lot of attention will kick off this month.

Right at the beginning of the month, on April 2, Mercury turns retrograde in Aries. Take great care when signing contracts and other consequential agreements until the end of the month. Mercury ends its retrograde phase on April 25.
Venus in Pisces reaches a conjunction with Neptune on April 3. The longing for an ideal world is palpable, but so is the discrepancy between desire and reality. Two days later, Venus enters Aries, and the Aries Sun conjoins the Moon's Node. Some people now feel the urge for an adventure. Check everything well before you act. Things could subsequently develop an unexpected momentum of their own.

On April 8, the New Moon in Aries coincides with a total Solar Eclipse. The eclipse is part of Saros cycle 139 and is visible in Mexico, Central and North America, and parts of Canada. It is conjunct Chiron. During this time, Mars and Saturn form a conjunction in Pisces, which is exact on April 10.
The events in the days surrounding the eclipse could be demanding and require our full attention. The dynamics of an eclipse usually bring something to the fore that previously lay unrecognized in the shadows. Due to the connection of the eclipse with Chiron, the quality of time tells of powerlessness and hurt but also of daring to make a new start despite obstacles.
If you face difficult experiences or feelings, try not to fall into blind actionism, but first, find out what you can do to release the emotional tension. The key to this is to trust in your strength. If you are among the lucky ones who experience an unexpected and promising breakthrough during this time, you should not hesitate but set off courageously and confidently for new shores.

On April 12, the Aries Sun conjuncts Mercury. On the 15th, retrograde Mercury reaches Chiron and thus the position of the earlier eclipse. The events of the past few days can now be better understood.
A few days later, on April 19, Mercury and Venus meet in conjunction, flanked by the Moon's Node and Chiron. Even those who experienced the events of the eclipse as challenging can now feel optimistic again. The Sun enters Taurus on the same day.

One of this year's most outstanding and promising constellations is the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, which becomes exact on April 21. Venus is then exactly conjunct Chiron, and the Sun squares Pluto in Aquarius.
In principle, astrologers consider the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction that occurs every fourteen years positive, even if the mighty tension that sometimes accompanies it can feel uncomfortable. Something radically new wants to take shape during this time. As Pluto is also part of this field, it may well be that some of the events that can appear out of nowhere at this time have a dynamic that is difficult to control.
The conjunction, with its strong emphasis on the qualities of Taurus and Aquarius, focuses on topics such as money and possessions, the environment and agriculture, and the tension between technology and nature. In these areas, we can expect innovations, upheavals, and corrections that will keep us busy for a long time. However, the revolutionary potential of the constellation can also show itself in political upheavals or eruptive social developments.
In any case, it is a time in which some things could change very quickly. If you already know in which direction you wish to develop, you should take advantage of this time. The chances are good for creative breakthroughs or radical new beginnings but also for breaking free from obstructive circumstances and surpassing yourself.

The Scorpio Full Moon on April 24 is in tension with Pluto (2° orb). The emotional intensity brings depth and determination to the charged atmosphere of these days. Practice commitment and acceptance because you can no longer stop the impending changes. Mars arrives in conjunction with Neptune on April 29, entering Aries a day later. Venus reaches Taurus on the 29th. The quality of time tells of a transition into a new form, like shedding your old skin.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME
The quality of time in May is somewhat more relaxed than in the previous month when all signs pointed to trouble and change. However, what has sometimes erupted in recent weeks needs to be consolidated and integrated. That could be challenging again, especially in the middle of the month. But this May is also about love and sensuality. The last third of the month will bring an unusual lightness.

On the 1st of the month, sensual Venus in Taurus squares uncompromising Pluto in Aquarius. Some people will now feel a zest for life, while others will enjoy a passionate adventure. But keep a cool head and, above all, keep an eye on your finances because on May 2, Pluto turns retrograde until October 12. During this time, when it moves back into Capricorn for the last time (from September 2 to November 20), many things need to be checked for suitability once again. Any project that lacks substance now could come under considerable pressure in the fall.

The Taurus New Moon on May 8 is close to Uranus and precisely between Venus and Jupiter in Taurus, which brings material needs into focus. However, it is also an exceedingly sensual and fertile quality of time that could tempt you to indulge.
Treat yourself to something that makes you feel good on this day. It is also a brilliant time to give thanks in one way or another for the miracle of life, be it with a ritual or a small celebration with friends. This day is an excellent time to sow the seeds for a new project. It will bear abundant fruit.

On May 13, the Sun reaches the conjunction with Uranus, and the Leo Moon opposes Pluto. The pressure to change is now high. Unexpected developments can bring uncertainty, which some could instrumentalize here and there. However, you can achieve a lot during this time, provided you allow a minimum of creative chaos and dare to try new approaches.

When Mercury also enters Taurus on May 15, there are five planets in this pragmatic and sensual earth sign, associated with money and possessions and renowned for its need for material security. The corrections that could become necessary in these areas are not entirely unexpected but could nevertheless trigger resentment and resistance.
On May 18, the Sun is conjunct Jupiter, and Venus conjoins Uranus. It is a time of favorable opportunities. Fortune favors the brave! Lovers now receive a welcome boost, and new, promising encounters can arise. However, beware of exaggeration and respect your limits.

There is a noticeable change in the quality of time in the last third of the month. The Sun enters Gemini on May 20 and forms an exact trine to Pluto two days later.
The Full Moon is in Sagittarius on May 23.Simultaneously, Venus conjoins Jupiter on the last degree of Taurus. Only hours later, she also enters Gemini. Now, we can feel something like optimism, and an unusual lightness could remind us that we can also communicate with each other to solve problems. When Jupiter enters Gemini on May 26, it's hard to miss that a new phase is beginning.
On May 29, Mars is in conjunction with Chiron. Unbridled power and unconscious aggression could result in self-harm. It's a favorable time to lay down your weapons and consider whether the fight is worth it. When Mercury conjoins Uranus on May 31, a certain nervousness is noticeable. Negotiations and communication are now likely, and you may find solutions to conflicts previously considered insoluble.

THE PERSONAL QUALITY OF TIME

Due to the strong emphasis on the zodiac sign of Taurus, it is reasonable to assume that the focus is mainly on material issues. However, Taurus is not isolated in the zodiac but is in constant contact with all the other signs. A key to a deeper understanding of a zodiac sign is the opposite sign. Taurus is concerned with the formation of substance and physicality, and the opposite sign of Scorpio wants to loosen the bond to matter so that an openness to spiritual processes becomes possible. The polarity of binding and releasing is part of every person's in their way.
