Interview with Author/Illustrator Donna McGarry

Review of Steven Forrest's "The Book Of Neptune"

"If you feel as if you've lost your footing, are sinking in quicksand or adrift on a large body of water with no land in sight, there's a good chance that Neptune is involved.  If that's the case, I can't recommend this book highly enough." --Whobeda
2017: What's on the Cosmic Horizon? (Part I)
LUNATION SUMMARY
FULL MOON
(Signifies an ending, culmination or shift to a new phase)
NEW MOON
(Brings something new into your life)
Date: Date: 11 April 2017 Date: 26 April 2017
Position: 21:33 Libra (Strongest influence for those born ~June 12) Position: 06:27 Taurus (Strongest influence for those born ~28 May)
Natural House: 5th Natural House: 12th
Influences of the 5th house include your ego definition, creativity, children, romance, entertainment and speculation.  It's sometimes referred to as the "fun house" since most of what resides here is pleasant. A Full Moon in this house could indicate the completion of something in its domain, such as a creative endeavor or doing something fun you've been planning for a while, such as a vacation. Children may pass a milestone or a romance may end or shift to a higher level, i.e. committed relationships are a 7th house matter.
12th House influences include spirituality, enlightenment, seclusion, confinement, subconscious mind, institutions, hidden enemies, and self-defeating behaviors.  Watch for something new in one or more of these areas.  This is an excellent time to meditate or pursue something to feed your soul.  If you've been too materialistic lately, this can help you re-center yourself and rearrange your priorities.

FULL MOON

This month's Full Moon in Libra on 11 April suggests you'll encounter something that involves one or more relationships, given that sign rules such things. Remember, also, that a Full Moon typically indicates an ending, culmination, or shift to a new phase. Since you interact with people several areas of you life, this makes sense, whether it relates to the people next door, your job, friends, school, income, or whatever. The troublesome T-squares continue, those outer planets moving slowly enough that they maintain such things for a long time. This is how major trends develop and play out, but when they're as annoying as these have been, it certainly can get old. To refresh your memory, this one suggests difficulties taking control of something you would like to pursue which is also likely to involve others, either directly or indirectly, perhaps even simply that you're bucking up against unfavorable opinions or lack of support. If someone in authority is doing something like that, you are probably just about to the point, or possibly already there, where you are ready to fight for what you want. Breaking away if favored, but not necessarily easily.

Even if people aren't holding you back, other obstacles are likely; unfortunately, Saturn stationed retrograde a few days before this lunation, which is notorious for delays, boundaries, and slowing things down generally, and Mercury stationed retrograde 9 April, so this isn't obviously in your favor, either. However, Mercury RX is an excellent time to rethink, revise, reconsider, and redo. If you're changing course, then this is well-advised, even if it means you can't get moving in the direction you want immediately. Mercury is in Taurus, which isn't known for it's speed but it is for persistence and determination, which suggests once you make up your mind, nothing is going to change it. Mars in Taurus as well is like a bulldozer, which may not move quickly, but will not let anything get in its way. Venus, still retrograde and back in her favorite sign of Pisces, is another indicator of fighting for what you want and she's ready to take on anyone holding you back.

An aspect pattern I call a Course Adjustment Loop and sometimes referred to as a Learning Triangle, is out there, which implies a change of course is favored, which will help to some degree.  This will come about when you have finally had enough and make up your mind, once and for all, to take control and pursue your own direction. So there are some definite themes in this lunation, which bode nicely if you're tired of the status quo.

NEW MOON

The New Moon on 26 April is in Taurus, a Fixed, Earth sign that enjoins patience and determination. Mercury is still retrograde and conjunct Uranus in Aries, which suggests rethinking or reconsidering an impulsive action, perhaps attempting to undo something that didn't turn out as you had hoped. They are both trining Saturn, which has recently stationed retrograde, a time to rebuild and restructure. Venus is now direct and in the last degree of Pisces, where she is exalted. Venus is now the morning star, rising before the Sun, a time when various ancient cultures considered her the goddess of war as opposed to love. She is squaring Saturn, ruler of authority figures, responsibility, and tradition, suggesting conflicts in that area. Power trips and struggles are afflicting relationships where such has not been worked out in a fair and defined manner, but inspiration can help sort things out, if both parties are willing to make the necessary adjustments. Moving forward in a logic manner, based in data as opposed to feelings or emotion, could be the appropriate path, of which there are more than one. In other words, there is more than one way to solve the current problem.

OTHER COSMIC EVENTS

Three planets station retrograde this month (Saturn, Mercury & Pluto); one stations direct (Venus); and one is ongoing (Jupiter). Saturn stations retrograde on 6 April at 27:48 Sagittarius. Saturn RX typically indicates an area of your life that needs to be redefined and restructured, depending on in which house the event occurs. For Gemini, this is your 7th house of close relationships, including your significant other, business partners, close friends and relatives, competitors, and open enemies. If your birthday is right around 19 June, this station occurs opposing your natal Sun and will have a stronger influence. Interactions with friends who are different in some way are favored, though there will be challenges to be overcome. New ideas involving a new group are favored. Watch out for someone trying to undermine your efforts, perhaps due to control issues which will demand some adjustments.

Mercury stations a few days later on 9 April at 04:51 Taurus. Mercury RX is the time to rethink redo, refine, reconsider, edit, or revise and not so good to begin a new endeavor. This is a time to look back and assess where you are and re-plan as required to achieve your objectives. If your birthday is right around 26 May, this station of your sign ruler is semi-sextile your natal Sun from your 12th house of spirituality, enlightenment, your subconscious mind, seclusion, confinement, institutions, hidden enemies and self-defeating behaviors. Thus, this revamping is likely to focus on your subconscious, though a friend may be able to help you figure things out and effect a change of direction with regard to a child or creative endeavor.

Pluto stations retrograde 20 April at 19:24 Capricorn. His message is often one of elimination, to get rid of something you no longer need, whether it involves cleaning out the garage or attic, getting rid of old baggage, or perhaps relationships that no longer serve a constructive purpose. Capricorn is your 8th house of transformations, shared resources, debt, intense experiences, sex, death, and rebirth. Pluto is accidentally dignified in the 8th house, providing extra energy in that regard. There may be some conflict in this area related to a child, creative endeavor, romantic interest, or speculation, but your heart-felt beliefs can help you sort things out. If your birthday is right around 10 June, this will have a stronger effect toward pushing you in a slightly different direction. This could be your last chance, so don't over-think matters but follow your instincts, which are better than you may realize. Inspiration is available at this time if you take the time and effort to access it. 

Venus stations direct 15 April at 26:55 Pisces. Since Pisces is the sign where she is exalted, and thus functions at top efficiency, it's almost like she didn't like Aries, a sign of her debility, and decided to go back to where she was comfortable for a while before heading out into the cold, cruel world. Her station chart implies an opportunity to take action restructuring and rebuilding some part of your life, which hands off nicely to the planets above who station retrograde.   Pisces is a fellow Mutable sign and your 10th house of career, status, reputation and public image. Venus back in that venue should bring something fortuitous your way, especially if your birthday is right around 18 June. This is a time when you can trust your subconscious to nudge you in the right direction, even if it's slightly different that the usual path. An emphasis on friends and associates implies they can help define your new path and endeavors.
