Apr 2 2009 Moon First Quarter

While Venus in retrograde is square with Pluto; and Mars is closing opposite Saturn, our friend the Moon in Cancer will be mellowing things out a bit by being trine/sextile the Mars/Saturn opposition. Only a bit, though. Moon will be square Sun exact at 7:34 am PDT, trine Mars exact at 10:12 am PDT, square Mercury exact at 12:46 pm PDT, and sextile Saturn exact at 1:32 pm PDT. So, while Moon trine and sextile will ease some of the pissed off plumber syndrome, Moon squares will point towards less than ideal communication of the sense of ease --- feelings may be at odds with the intellect and ego. Yesterday may have been a good time to start couples therapy, don't stop now. If you didn't, start now and stay with it. Venus will be back after retrograde in a month to the same spot, square with Pluto to assist in unearthing stuff, only Mars will be joining it then. If not now, you will likely be desirious then for that connection, whether you worked on it, stayed with it or not.
