Grand Cross April 1 to May 19, 2012 brings emotionalism and challenges.
Neptune, Mars and the Moon’s Nodes form a Grand Cross in the sky, indicating excess emotionalism, confusion and challenges. I prefer the word challenges to other words I might use, as challenges can be overcome and can encourage drive and achievement.
Neptune in Pisces has a hard time focusing on worldly matters. It can be imaginative, spiritual, caring and wanting to provide service to other people and animals, but it can also be easily deceived.
Mars in Virgo wants to get work done, but it tends to worry and be overly critical. And then when Mars opposes (is about 180 degrees from) Neptune, it can have unrealistic expectations, further exacerbating those qualities of worrying and being hypercritical. During this time we need to pay attention to our surroundings and work on seeing situations and people they way they really are, not how we hope them to be. We should be on guard against accidents, negative thinking, worry, poisoning, and escapism, possibly through drugs and alcohol. Artistic and creative pursuits and service are good ways to channel this energy.
To further add to the potency of this energy between Mars and Neptune, the Moon’s Nodes get into the action and are squaring (about 90 degrees from) the opposition of Mars and Neptune. Moon’s Nodes are where the Moon’s path crosses the Earth’s path around the Sun. There are two Nodes, where the Moon’s path goes North of the Earth’s path, and then when it goes South of the Earth’s path. Vedic astrologers attach enormous power to them and think they are active whenever events happen that are noticed all over the world.
Grand Cross brings confusion and challenges to work, love and money matters from April 1 to April 14, 2012.
And then, to top it all off, Venus is very close to the Moon’s South Node, and is squaring Neptune and Mars, until April 14, 2012. Venus, the planet of money, social life and love is not thinking clearly and may be overly needy. This is not an especially good time to buy expensive items unless they are necessary, and then do your homework to make sure you are getting what you think you are. It can also be a confusing time for relationships. This is not a good time to make any decisions about relationships as you may not have all the information you need and may not be thinking clearly.

Get rid of clutter from 10:17 a.m. Central Daylight Time April 7, 2012 through 10:12 a.m. April 9, 2012.
Many people have been telling me that they have been using the times that the Moon is in Scorpio to get rid of clutter and it helps. The Moon is in Scorpio during these two days, and that means it is a good time to get rid of what no longer serves you, from those old coupons in your junk drawer to anyone whose negativity dampens your spirits.
Great for new beginnings and multiple streams of income February 1 to April 10, 2012.
The Great Benefic, Jupiter, is in a lucky trine (about 120 degrees from) Pluto, making this a great time for new projects and new beginnings. These planets bring big money to people who have prosperity consciousness, optimism and self-confidence. Don’t listen to people who have a consciousness of poverty—get out there and use this planetary energy for your benefit.
Good for new beginnings, physical energy and hard work February 28 to May 31, 2012.
Energetic Mars trines (is about 120 degrees from) Pluto, making this a good time to aggressively start new projects, and work hard to accomplish goals. Pluto is connected to elimination—get rid of junk and clutter. This is a great time for spring cleaning.
Major transformations February 27, 2012 to June 13, 2015.
Uranus and Pluto are so far from the Sun that they take a long time to go around the Sun and through the signs of the zodiac. When they form angles with other outer planets, those aspects are in effect for a long time. Uranus and Pluto form a square aspect (are about 90 degrees from each other) for more than three years, forming an underlying background for the other planetary aspects. We will not notice their effect every day of this period, but we will notice major changes that can be attributable to these planets. Uranus brings the unpredictable, the unusual and the eccentric. It is a very freedom-loving planet and it can be rebellious and strong-willed. Pluto is explosive, powerful and eliminates what is no longer needed. Uranus is in Aries, a strong and independent sign, and Pluto is in Capricorn, which rules structures, laws and governments. During this three-year period, we will see upheavals, struggles, revolutions, rebellions, unusual weather patterns and abrupt earth changes—volcanoes and earthquakes.
Great for artistic pursuits and listening to your intuition October 23, 2011 to April 12, 2012.
Saturn is an earthy planet, bringing stability and reliability to whatever it touches. Saturn trines (is about 120 degrees from) ethereal Neptune, which means it is a great time to work on and finish artistic projects and use your intuition to benefit your life. Listen to your hunches. This aspect is great for being able to use psychic ability.
Good news for the economy and for you.
Jupiter is in Taurus where it will remain until June 11, 2012. Long-lasting aspects bring slow results, but over time, hard work and patience can create good outcomes. Jupiter brings blessings, opportunities, luck and expansion, and Taurus is a financial sign. Taurus is also slow moving, conservative and patient. Jupiter enlarges what it touches, so inflation may be part of the picture. Jupiter in Taurus is a fortunate time for making money if you are prudent and don’t expect to get rich overnight. I expect that the people who already have big money will continue to make big bonuses. With Jupiter in this sign, YOU should take advantage of opportunities to enlarge your financial picture. Do you have the money you want? If not, what do you need to do to get it? Are you doing what you need to do? Do you have multiple sources of income?
