April 14 – 20, 2014 THE WEEK IN CHINESE ASTROLOGY

Highlights this week are a full Moon eclipse at 0:42 am PDT on double Dragon Tuesday, and a lucky double Horse Thursday!

Mon Apr 14 is a Wood RABBIT day. Mercury conjuncts Uranus, quickening the pace of life to start the work week. Venus trines Jupiter and conjuncts Neptune for spiritual love. But Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto in a big grand cross in the sky. Plus Moon is exactly conjunct Mars, so use Rabbit diplomacy and kindness! Rabbit day luck strong for Rabbit, Sheep, Dog, and Pig. Rabbit hours 5 – 7 am.

Tues Apr 15 is a LUNAR ECLIPSE at 0:42 am PDT on a DOUBLE DRAGON day; a Fire DRAGON day in an Earth DRAGON month! This full Moon trines Neptune for refreshing daydreams, to take a break, and withdraw into yourself. So now is ideal for some quiet time for reflection, and then repair of any relationships that you feel could use some balancing. The big square continues of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto. People can feel held back or frustrated, especially in this action-oriented Dragon month. An eclipse is an absence of light when the shadow is seen. Under the watchful eyes of 2 Dragons, activities can be exposed. So mind your actions. This double Dragon new Moon is doubly lucky for Dragon, Rat, Snake, and Monkey. Dragon hours 7 – 9 am.

Wed Apr 16 is a Fire SNAKE day. Moon, Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune in a fortunate grand trine! Can shed skins of the past on Fire Snake day. Fluid energy of the grand trine balances the challenges of the grand cross in the heavens. Snake day is lucky for Snake, Ox, Monkey, and Phoenix (Rooster). Snake hours 9 – 11 am.

Thus Apr 17 is a DOUBLE HORSE day; an Earth HORSE day in this Wood HORSE year. Venus conjuncts Neptune and trines Jupiter for romance, generosity, and sexy Horse lustiness. Take a break from the squares in the heavens and enjoy! But Moon conjuncts Saturn so don’t be too serious on a Horse day. Double Horse day is doubly lucky for Horse, Tiger, Sheep & Dog. Horse hours 11 am – 1 pm.

Fri Apr 18 is an Earth SHEEP day when relationships are important. Venus trines Jupiter and sextiles Pluto for sensitivity and awareness with others. Plus the Moon squares Venus and Neptune to be light hearted, affectionate, and sentimental. But the large square in the heavens of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Pluto can bring animosity so kindness is key on this Sheep day! Sheep day is lucky for Sheep, Rabbit, Horse, and Pig. Sheep hours 1 – 3 pm.

Sat Apr 19 is a Metal MONKEY (white Monkey) day. Sun trines Moon for self expression. But Sun conjuncts Mercury to only see your own point of view. No need to argue to win a point, and no Monkey mind irrational arguements. Venus trines Jupiter and Saturn, and sextiles Pluto, for sociability and to smooth out tension from the grand square of Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto. Give Monkey mind energy something to do with these feng shui tips. Monkey day is lucky for Monkey, Rat, Dragon, and Snake. Monkey hours 3 – 5 pm.

Sun Apr 20 is a Metal PHOENIX (Rooster) day. Venus trines Jupiter and Saturn in a grand trine for creative expression and luck in love. But Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto in a grand square. Could be power struggles so no pecking. Can figure out fast what does or does not work. Phoenix day is lucky for Phoenix, Ox, Dragon, and Snake. Phoenix hours 5 – 7 pm.

Good luck and have a great week,
