This is a pretty full day of aspects, which you probably already knew if you have been checking the April 2024 Astro Memes. Then you knew today what was coming and even more, you knew the 'orb of influence' with the dates surrounding today's aspects. Maybe you already clicked ahead as the prep pages for this month have been posted since the middle of last month. Perhaps the storm you were in already blew over because you knew aspects today would give you a round of support, by bracing and shoring up your spirit. Cool.

The first aspect out of the gate today is Mercury conjunct Venus at 4:59 AM EDT, which began on April 13th and will last until April 26th, and reveals itself with kind, thoughtful and thought-full speech and writing. Mercury naturally rules both Gemini and Virgo, so proper word placement is important. Mercury conjunct Venus is expressive, articulate and eloquent. Listen for this in yourself and others. And for Goodness sake, use the aspect. Use this aspect and you will see why having more thoughtful and thought-full communication skills not only helps your spirit, but others as well.

Next, the Sun in Aries moves into Taurus at 10:00 AM EDT until May 20, 2024. Taurus is known as a 'money sign' simply because it rules the 2nd house. More importantly, Taurus rules self-worth, morals, values and value systems, which in-turn translates into net-worth, earned income, personal finances and personal possessions. Taurus's motto is, "I have therefore I am." You can read the full write-up of the Sun in Taurus using the Astro Meme link below. You can also use the Sun in Taurus Transiting Degree Calendar to see when a certain degree will impact your chart. Keep reading . . .

Mars sextiles Jupiter at 11:28 AM EDT, which began on April 12th and will last until April 26th. Oh interesting! This aspect ends on the same date as Mercury conjunct Venus. So use them in tandem. This aspect is your personal cheerleader encouraging you to go for it. Maybe you have been talking about it, and thinking about it, but not doing anything about it. You can do it. Think of it this way, you will be the same age if you don't do it.

Mars will then sextile Uranus at 7:56 PM EDT, which began on April 14th and will last until April 25th. So you see, all three (3) of these aspects have been running side-by-side for about a week. And they will keep running in a pack for a few more days. USE THEM! Mars sextile Uranus encourages you to take that leap of faith where you have been afraid to take a simple step. You have to understand, nothing happens without you. If you don't show up for yourself, nothing happens. If you do nothing, nothing happens. Nothing happens without you. Keep reading . . .

The planets are supporting, encouraging, motivating and stimulating you to move forward, not backward. The emphasis on the past if anything other than wisdom and experience is simply a waste of time. It is!

The wheels are in motion and they are moving forward with or without you. Jump on or wait for the next go around because again, nothing happens without you.

Tomorrow will be the exactness of THE BIGGEST ASTROLOGICAL EVENT OF THE YEAR! Jupiter conjuncts Uranus, which began in applying (approaching) degrees on February 16th, 2024 and will last in separating (ending) degrees on June 16th, 2024. That's four (4) solid months of birthdays with this aspect in their 2024 Solar Return.

These individuals (birthdates affected) will have a spirit of the 'Freedom Fighter' and will lead the charge.

And here's the other interesting thing, these dates cover nearly all birthdates 'in the Spring', as Spring will end on June 20th, 2024. Spring springs into action!

I added more to that write-up, and there's a pretty Good chance that I will write even more tomorrow.

In the meantime, give that aspect a piece of your mind, meaning give that write-up some attention and read it.

On another note - this coming June, July and August 2024, I will 'not' be writing ANY Natal Charts or Solar Returns. It is also quite possible that I may stop sometime in May 2024, I just don't know that date yet. I'm lining up my Life so that I can take this break in order to complete a different project, which will take all of three (3) months to accomplish.

I believe EVERYONE should have their Natal Chart, which is pretty is the fingerprint of your Life. It never changes. At least 'they' haven't found a way to jack with your fingerprint like 'they' have your DNA. (Insert massive dose of smartassiness.) Thank God, the Natal Chart also reveals where health issues will arise, so there's that. Anyway, the Natal Chart never changes and it is something you are always working through and working on.

The Solar Return is the report that reveals what your 'year' will look like from one birthdate to another. So if your birthday is today, then your Solar Return chart begins and it will last until your birthday next year. Now keep in mind the Universe does not speak our language as in - Monday, March 11, 2024. The Universe rolls by math and coordinates. So your birthday may have actually been yesterday or maybe it is tomorrow, when your birth 'date' is March 11th.

The Solar Return is when the Sun 'returns' to the same degree and minute it was when you were born. So that could be a day earlier or a day later, depending on your residence (location) today, which is likely different than where you were born.

Some people will choose to go on a vacation on their birthday to change their location for their Solar Return and the Astrologer will calculate that location, but I do not agree with that method. It's not the Truth. You can't fool or trick the Universe. The Truth is it's a vacation, and you will still have to return back home to your Life, to your mortgage, your bills, your relationships, your neighbors, your job and dot dot dot.

In the Solar Return, each house represents one month. There are 12 houses, there are 12 months.

I advise you to get your Solar Return 'at least' three (3) months before you birthday, simple because the planets could already be coming into the 'orb of influence' and you would be feeling the energy.

For instance, Venus moves into Pisces today impacting all birthdays from today until April 5, 2024. Those of you with birthdays between today and April 5th will already in this Venus in Pisces energy. You need to know this, especially since Venus rules both Love and money.

So there ya' go. So I will take a chart writing break during June, July and August 2024, and if I get to the place that I want to be earlier, then I will start that break even earlier, which would be sometime in May 2024.
