Weekly Astrology Forecast for All Signs April 17th 2023
ARIES
Nurture those dreams in the dark
Opportunity arrives in disguise
Truth is perspective. Find yours.
This week hands us a rare-than-black-diamonds eclipse in your sign, Aries. The second ‘black’ new Moon to appear in your solar cycle triggers what is known as a Hybrid Solar Eclipse. This is the first time we have seen one occur in your sign in 159 years.
The term ‘black’ Moon has nothing to do with the fact we have an eclipse. It simply refers to the phenomenon of two new Moons in the same sign in a month. A Hybrid eclipse is your 3-in-1 trifecta. It combines all three eclipse types – partial, annular and total. What you see depends on where you are looking at it from. Your perspective on it. Hold on to that explanation. We all know eclipses conceal the truth. And the truth can be spun from someone else’s perspective. But that does not necessarily make it the truth.
Keep an open mind around anything you are told or hear under this strange and mysterious new Moon. New beginnings may arrive in disguise. Above all, if someone is trying to convince you their take is the correct one, a tactful ‘Thanks, that’s interesting. But I prefer to make up my own mind’ suffices. Yes, you will find more guidance in your Eclipsed New Moon in Aries Moonscope Part 2 of 2.
Mercury retrogrades in Taurus and your sign of money and values the following day. Really telling you that your unshakeable value system and self worth are your lodestones and compass for navigating any blackouts. Again, this tells you the information you receive may not be correct. Or that someone may change their mind. Don’t take any risks with your money. Or your heart, sweet Aries. And yes, you are allowed to keep those thoughts and plans under wraps. Now allow six weeks. By then you’ll be out of the darkness and step back into the light of truth.
In a nutshell: Rarer than a black diamond – that’s you under this week’s ‘Black’ new Moon and once-in-158-year eclipse in your sign. Time to know you worth – and work it. Love and other opportunities are cloaked in disguise.

TAURUS
Begin a power renewal
The past holds the keys to your future
Happy birthday, Taurus!
Mysterious magic, hidden truths, blasts from the past. The start of your birthday cycle has a real touch of the past meets the present and shifts you onto a totally different future path, Taurus. Choices and decisions you have made, prove to have had a bigger impact that you ever imagined as just hours before the Sun arrives in your sign, we have a rare ‘black’ new Moon in your 12th. Which triggers a rarer still Hybrid Solar Eclipse.
Your 12th rules secrets, hidden truths, soul contracts, past karma, past lives. The term ‘black’ Moon has nothing to do with the fact we have an eclipse. It simply refers to the phenomenon of two new Moons in the same sign in a month.
A Hybrid eclipse is your 3-in-1 trifecta. It combines all three eclipse types – partial, annular and total. What you see depends on where you are looking at it from. And just like the past, this is all a question of perspective. It may or may not be the truth. But you can expect to arrive at it and reframe key events or expose the reality during the next month or so. The saying: The truth will set you free especially applies to secrets locked in your 12th. Once you have the facts they can no longer imprison you. Get ready then for an amazing liberation and healing – all in one.
All aboard for the mystery tour! To quote from The Beatles: The magical mystery tour is coming to take you away. To freedom from what binds you to the past. And on towards true soul evolution. But the form this takes may not yet be obvious. The direction you are heading in or how this all shakes out, may not emerge until next month. Do read your Eclipsed New Moon in Aries Part 2 of 2 for more insight.
You begin a birthday cycle like no other where chance and change will deliver all your desires and sweep away any remaining barriers that hold you back. Jupiter is heading your way next month, Taurus. For now, stay connected to your intuition and be prepared to go back before you head forward again as Mercury retrogrades in your sign from the 21st. You will emerge reawakened and renewed. You’re not stagnant, you’re being remade anew. And the results will be worth the time spent on the process, Taurus.
In a nutshell: A birthday season like no other begins with an invitation to take a mystery tour. Back to aspects of your past, Taurus. A powerful eclipse promises release and renewal. It’s well worth going back to move forward healed and reborn anew. Ready to embrace all that awaits you.

GEMINI
Which connection needs your focus?
Who has the answers you seek?
Keep it in the vault!
Think of a friend or a connection. Okay. Whose name just popped into your quicksilver mind, Gemini? Hold that thought under this week’s rare and powerful Hybrid Solar Eclipse in your 11th.
There’s something going on with that person or even group of people than meets the eye. Maybe you are now realising its been subconsciously nudging you for some time. But, just what IS a Hybrid Eclipse, I hear you ask? Good question. It’s a three-in-one, triple A cover up. A three layer concealment which combines all three eclipse types. Partial, Annular and Total. What you see depends on where in the world you are. But you won’t see all three. This is uber rare and we haven’t seen one in Aries for 158 years!
The new Moon in your 11th is the trigger. This is a ‘black’ new Moon which has nothing to do with it being eclipsed. It simply refers to the second of two new Moons in a solar cycle. It appears at a late degree of Aries and your 11th. Just hours before the Sun moves on into your 12th. Secrets and over-ups? You bet. But you may also know on who or where to go seeking the truth.
Ruler Mercury breaks up the direct weather the following day when it turns retrograde in your 12th. This tells you a lot, Gemini. Someone, somewhere has a secret. Of course, this doesn’t rule out the fact that 1) you’ll love the surprise or even 2) you are actually the secret keeper yourself. However, it does ask you look closer. The truth will come tumbling out in shocking or surprising ways during the new few weeks so that closet door won’t stay shut for long. Oh and one last tip. Don’t confide soul secrets to others unless you are 100% certain they will stay in the vault. Someone may not be a trustworthy as you think. If you need to share and are unsure, then consult someone whose professional ethics ensure your confidentiality – a doctor, therapist, church leader, psychic, lawyer or other professional.
And if someone confides in you, lock what they tell you away forever, Gemini. Silence could turn out to be golden in more ways than one this week. There’s more in your Eclipsed New Moon in Aries Moonscope – Part 2 of 2. Sometimes the truth doesn’t need to get out there.
In a nutshell: Secrets feature this week. Yes, the truth is ‘out there’ and if you seek it, and are open to it, you will receive the answers you need. However, some things simply don’t need an outing. Use your discretion when it comes to what stays in the vault.

CANCER
Back in black – dress for success
Project that success story you’re living
Reputation is everything
Like your neighbour Leo, eclipses are very big deals for you. It doesn’t matter if they are solar eclipses or lunar ones. They involve your ruler one way or another.
It’s rare to have two new Moons in the same sign during one solar cycle. So rare, they have their own name – Black Moon. When a Black Moon appears, we have a second new beginning in the area ruled by the house it appears in within a month. Fresh starts are always signified. And you have had two in your house of status, career, public image, rewards and recognition.
But of course, this is an eclipse. And not just any eclipse either. This is a Hybrid Solar Eclipse. But, just what IS that, I hear you ask? Good question. It’s a three-in-one, triple A cover up. A three layer concealment which combines all three eclipse types. Partial, Annular and Total. What you see depends on where in the world you are. But you won’t see all three. This is uber rare and we haven’t seen one in Aries for 158 years!
You may not be aware under this eclipse but you are in some way under scrutiny. Now, for some if you have a job in the public eye, that’s obvious and you are aware of this at all times. Others may not be aware of the fact that what they do or how they act under this eclipse is under scrutiny. You are being watched or assessed. Perhaps in a positive way as in preparing to offer you a promotion based on that track record. Maybe to see if you are keeper material. But do guard your rep, Cancer. And act like a boss at all times. More in your Eclipsed New Moon in Aries Moonscope Part 2 of 2.
Rise to the challenge, gorgeous soul. Because here we don’t sugar coat but we sure as hell empower! The new Moon escapes the eclipse shadow and meets the North Node in your 11th – just hours after the Sun lands in your 11th. And both hit the newly arrived Pluto in your 8th. Again, its about how others or even one person sees you. Accountability, rewards and status shifting opportunities could be on offer. But as Mercury signals an end to direct motion in the sky as it retros in your 11th on the 21st, what you have set in motion in the past comes full circle. Success could come knocking if its due, Cancer.
In a nutshell: Be boss and know what you want and where you are going. Also be aware of your public image and how you come across at all times. Whether you know it or not under this week’s Black Moon and eclipse, others are watching and taking note, Cancer!

LEO
Who moved my mojo?!
Explore the hidden path
Ready for a Total Eclipse of the Heart?
When a solar eclipse occurs, this is the aspect most likely to get Leos shaking in their Jimmy Choos. Just who turned off your signature glow? Who moved your mojo? During a solar eclipse, the Moon covers up the Sun. It gets quite literally turned off. Now there’s only love in the dark. Get ready for a total eclipse of the heart, Leo.
We all depend on the Sun for life on earth. Your sign needs its light to glow and also to know who you are and what you want. Therefore, a solar eclipse is not a good time to make any big decisions. They may be the wrong ones. And when the light gets turned back on you may wonder what on earth you were thinking.
The eclipse which is triggered by the second ‘Black’ new Moon in your 9th to appear within a solar cycle, is no ordinary eclipse either. No, the term ‘Black’ moon has nothing to do with the eclipse. Just the term used for this kind of rare new Moon. The eclipse however – this is a Hybrid Solar Eclipse. Something far rarer than a Black Moon. The first one to appear in Aries and your 9th in 158 years.
But, just what IS this mojo stealing stealth shadow, I hear you ask? Good question. It’s a three-in-one, triple A cover up. A three layer concealment which combines all three eclipse types. Partial, Annular and Total. What you see depends on where in the world you are. But you won’t see all three. This is uber rare and we haven’t seen one in Aries for 158 years!
DO take care if travelling under this eclipse. Take it there is something you don’t yet know about your trip. If this is a long haul journey, then look up how this eclipse will appear if viewed from your destination. As this will give you a clue to that turn-off. You can easily look this up on sites such as timeanddate.com which always has a map of the eclipse path. Avoid legal decisions if you can. Don’t buy a horse, take chances or gamble. This is not a day to speculate. Take it the odds are not in your favour.
Ruler the Sun enters your 10th almost as soon as it exits the eclipse shadow. While the now waxing new Moon and the Sun square newly arrived Pluto in your 7th. Ensure that offer is all it appears to be whether made on bended knee or the more professional variety. If something returns this week triggered by Mercury turning retroactive in your 10th, do examine the details before saying yes. You are the eclipse pro, Leo. You know that while your shine is dimmed your usual levels of glow and discernment are turned off. All that glitters may not be gold. It takes time to see if the shine is real.
In a nutshell: A hidden path could open up under this week’s ultra rare eclipse. Take your time but it may be worth exploring, Leo. Sure, you may feel there’s a black out when it comes to those big dreams and ultra-glow you usually project. Take it this is only temporary.

VIRGO
Change is the great transformer
Wait for an expose
Reclaim your power
Holy game changer, Virgo! This week sees ruler Mercury slam on the brakes and end the retro-fee period which has handed us so much momentum since February.
This occurs in your house of expansion, long distance travel, learning, luck and other opportunities. If travelling, check and check again. Make digital copies of all important documents and store them on your cloud. Watch for disinformation and deep fakery, allow extra time for journeys. Do your due diligence. Expect delays. Avoid big ticket items. You know the drill, Virgo.
Get ready for a slow expose. Way before we went digital photographers had to develop their pictures in a dark room. They took a while to coalesce in the bath. For the image and then the details to emerge. An eclipse is like that. We’re in the dark and then the real facts slowly emerge in the light. Often this takes weeks. Sometimes years.
The engines of change turn but the transformation they bring for you may not be immediately obvious. But take it the eclipsed new ‘Black’ Moon in your 8th, will turn out to be the catalyst for something richer and more freeing once the bigger picture emerges from the shadows.
You want the details – you got ‘em, Virgo. At least when it comes to what’s so rare and special about this eclipse. The term ‘Black’ moon has nothing to do with the eclipse. It refers to the second of two new Moons in a solar cycle. The eclipse itself is an uber rare Hybrid Solar Eclipse. The first to appear in Aries and your 8th in 158 years. Which is what makes it such a game-changer.
It’s a three-in-one, triple A cover up. A three layer concealment which combines all three eclipse types. Partial, Annular and Total. What you see depends on where in the world you are. But you won’t see all three. But the effects are there.
Your money, assets, salary, investments, martial or shared assets, mortgage, joint home, benefits, triggers and insecurities and yes, sex. Or relationships where sex plays a role. Who has the power in your double act dynamic. This is what this eclipse covers up or rules. Try to avoid entering into new long term agreements for the time being.
The eclipse can bring up hidden themes that were set in motion 19 years ago. Or longer. They may not be yours in fact. They could be inherited from a past family dynamic. As the waxing Moon and then the Sun move on into Taurus and your 9th, they will square the newly arrived Pluto in your 6th and meet the North Node. Here comes karma. The bank could be ready to pay the interest forward to you. Ka-ching! Or you may reclaim your lost power from the past. Or reframe your role within a key relationship from a more empowered perspective. Yes, the truth is the game changed. And yes, it will enrich and set you free, Virgo.
In a nutshell: Change could arrive in disguise this week. Or its impact isn’t immediately obvious. Ruler Mercury now retrograde in your far-seeing, truth seeking 9th tells you to keep an open mind under this week’s mega-catalystic eclipse!

LIBRA
Has love been hiding in plain sight?
Destiny driven divine encounters and duets feature
Take your time
Divine, destiny driven double acts. Dynamic and dramatic duos, duels and duets. One will emerge from the eclipse triggered by the new ‘Black’ Moon in your 7th on the 20th. And you will never look at this union the same way again once the shadows clear.
Now this can be a good thing, Libra. For some of you, you may not see love coming. The perfect partner may have been hiding in plain sight. Or has snuck up on you wearing Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak. Who would have guessed? This is a Hybrid Eclipse. One that sets in motion for you a new relationship destiny. Whether you can see it or not.
The term ‘Black’ moon has nothing to do with the eclipse. It’s merely the name used for the second new Moon to appear within a solar cycle. Yes, that’s rare. But what’s rarer still is a Hybrid Eclipse. The first one to appear in Aries and your 7th in 158 years. Think nothing is obvious when it comes to new beginnings in relationships. It’s a three-in-one, triple A cover up. A three layer concealment which combines all three eclipse types. Partial, Annular and Total. What you see depends on where in the world you are. But you won’t see all three.
Because of the three-in-one metaphor, do avoid triangle and ‘It’s complicated’ situations under this eclipse. Ensure if a new lover approaches you make certain they are tangle-free. And if they are not, I do urge you to think long and hard before going further. You are in a game changing love or other partnership situation now. Due to freshly baked Pluto in your romance zone. As both the Sun and waxing black Moon move into Pluto’s zone just hours after the eclipse, both trigger it. Something comes full circle, you get to choose again as the Moon meets the North Node in here. Look to what was set in motion 19 years ago. Mercury is in retroactive form in your 8th from the 21st. Another reason to watch and wait for the truth to appear now. It’s all very Shrek/Fiona ‘Love’s true form’. Or hold off for now on that decision. You’ll come to the right conclusion between now and next month.
In a nutshell: Just what is ‘Love’s true form’? When it comes to one particular duo, double act, duel or duet the answer isn’t obvious under this week’s eclipse. Or you may think you want Lord Farquaad but discover the funny green alternative is a far better match. That’s the kind of ultimate revelation this week promises, Libra.

SCORPIO
Wait for home truths to emerge
Delve into the details
Nurture the love you have
You are entering your yearly love and relationship peak this week. But this is more about returning to love or recapturing a past element of it than starting something new now.
Do bear this in mind, Scorpio. And you might also want to hold off on any major decisions around home and property too. As this also concerns Pluto your ruler newly arrived in your 4th.
A painted Black new Moon triggers an extremely rare Hybrid Solar Eclipse in your work and wellbeing sector on the 20th. Just hours before the Sun crosses into Taurus and your 7th of duos, double acts and duets.
The term ‘Black’ moon has nothing to do with the eclipse. It’s merely the name used for the second new Moon to appear within a solar cycle. Yes, that’s rare. But what’s rarer still is a Hybrid Eclipse. The first one to appear in Aries and your 6th in 158 years. It’s a three-in-one, triple A cover up. A three layer concealment which combines all three eclipse types. Partial, Annular and Total. What you see depends on where in the world you are. But you won’t see all three. Or the big picture – yet.
This is your house of day job (paid or unpaid), routine and habits. It rules the details. Mercury rules this house and guess what? It retrogrades in your 7th the day after the eclipse occurs. The devil is in the details. It asks you look at the fine print, the hidden T&C’s. And also the impact what you do, consume or where you spend your time, has on your overall health and wellbeing. Do not ignore health matters now.
Or the health of your relationships for that matter. Focus on existing ones rather than seeking new love right now due to the Mercury retrograde. Hours after the eclipse occurs the now waxing Black Moon and then the Sun angle to ruler Pluto in your 4th. Do shine that truth seeking laser beam onto those you live with or family.
If you are buying, selling, renting or leasing property or even Airbnbing, check check check everything from the survey, to the financing, the feedback on someone’s profile, the neighbours or locality, the references of that lodger. And opt for the choices which raise your vibration. Be they around your work, your home or in love. They may not be the obvious ones but your body knows, Scorpio.
In a nutshell: Your body always keeps the score. And also broadcasts loud and clear, yet silently. Do pay attention to its non-verbal wisdom under this week’s eclipse, Scorpio. What is wants to how you is what you need to do in order to be fit for love.

SAGITTARIUS
Conceive the inconceivable!
Go for the slow burn, not the hot flare
The past calls you back
If you are a woman of childbearing age, do take extra precautions this week if the patter of little feet isn’t on that wishlist. Hey – this is a forecast and like any forecast, it tells you of changes in the weather. When to pack your umbrella so to speak. There’s something positively inconceivable about what’s behind the ‘Black’ new Moon and Hybrid Solar Eclipse in your 5th (20th).
Time to conceive of it. When it comes to romance, opportunities to create and shine. Love and luck and yes, babies and children. Which are what your 5th rule.
Don’t be in any hurry to throw your hat and heart into the ring when it comes to new love however. Eclipses cover up and conceal. And we have never experienced one with the ability to do that more than this one. The term ‘Black’ moon has nothing to do with the eclipse. It’s merely the name used for the second new Moon to appear within a solar cycle. Yes, that’s rare. But what’s rarer still is a Hybrid Eclipse. The first one to appear in Aries and your 5th in 158 years.
Think nothing is obvious when it comes to new beginnings in relationships, that big Sag love travel, and creating that showcase which illuminates your talents. It’s a three-in-one, triple A cover up. A three layer concealment which combines all three eclipse types. Partial, Annular and Total. What you see depends on where in the world you are. But you won’t see all three.
Some of you could discover you have a secret love. If going on holiday, as Mercury puts on the brakes in its ruling 6th, do apply the retro rules now. Travelling back to places you have been in the past and short stay journeys are favoured. But not exempt from the rules.
Don’t hurry to get to mate. Date and take it slowly. When it comes to those ideas, take time with refinement as the Sun and now waxing Moon enter your 6th just hours after the eclipse and impact newly arrived Pluto in your 3rd. And do understand the deal is NOT done until it is signed.
The new Moon collides with the North Node bringing a long term cycle to a close with a new one beginning. Those habits you automatically reach for will show themselves for what they all add up to. Either ruts or releases. You can set new ones. Or reflect, review and renew by next month, Sag.
In a nutshell: Always ready for adventure, you leap in where angels fear to tread. But this isn’t a week to take chances, Sag under a powerful eclipse in your romance zone. Especially when it comes to love and matters of the heart. A slow dance is a far better way to ensure things don’t cool down in the long term.

CAPRICORN
Reclaim a lost path
Go directly to the need
Soul searching hands you long term satisfaction
I see a Black Moon rising! No we are not necessarily in for nasty weather and neither is trouble on the way under the Black Moon and Hybrid Solar Eclipse in the Moon’s ruling 4th in your chart. And even if you do go out tonight, its unlikely you will turn into a werewolf. Thoughts of home, family, lifestyle and security may dominate. And you may question the path you are on however.
Just what is a ‘Black’ new Moon and Hybrid Solar Eclipse? The term ‘Black’ moon has nothing to do with the eclipse. It’s merely the name used for the second new Moon to appear within a solar cycle. Yes, that’s rare. But what’s rarer still is a Hybrid Eclipse. The first one to appear in Aries and your 4th in 158 years. It’s a three-in-one, triple A cover up. A three layer concealment which combines all three eclipse types. Partial, Annular and Total. What you see depends on where in the world you are. But you won’t see all three.
You may be looking at unfulfilled needs when it comes to emotional/financial security. Your position and place within your family dynamic. How you live and where. What supports and sustains. The path you have chosen. Contentment vs. unfulfilled needs. And what you need to fill any gaps or bring satisfaction may not be immediately obvious.
Do be content to feel all your feels under this eclipse. And don’t diss yourself by telling you that you are not entitled to feel them! You are. And they have their roots in something related to your past and are totally valid. You may opt for a quiet time under this eclipse just to soul sift through the various levels of that emotional residue to arrive at the source. Go directtly to the need. And one you have discovered it – you will know how to answer it. Not with temporary self-soothing. But with something healing and lasting.
Just hours after the eclipse the Sun and now waxing new Moon enter your 5th and angle to Pluto, newly arrived in your 2nd. This is about reclaiming any lost self-worth. Or seeing a long term cycle for what it is or what you thought it would bring you. With Mercury now retroactive in your 5th its not time for new love. But it is time to reclaim self-love. Move forward with something reclaimed yet freshly minted, Cappy.
In a nutshell: If that ear-worm under this week’s eclipse is the Stones’ ‘Satisfaction’ then understand getting it involves extreme self-love. The more you invest in that, the easier getting what you need becomes. And do understand ‘wanting’ is so very different to what really fits the bill, Cappy!

AQUARIUS
Are you ready for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but?
Dig deeper for the facts
Self-empowerment is your superpower!
Truth or dare under the new ‘Black’ Moon and Hybrid Solar Eclipse in your 3rd, Aquarius. Do not believe everything you hear now as this can be a time of disinformation and distorted facts. You may be given a heavily edited or redacted version of the truth. Do consider the source. And avoid purchases especially on line on this date.
There could be deep fakery afoot. Is someone trying too hard to sell you in on anything from themselves personally to a product or their point of view? Watch for over explanations and a deluge of details. Those are red flags under this eclipse.
But just what is a ‘Black’ Moon and a Hybrid Eclipse? The term ‘Black’ moon has nothing to do with the eclipse. It’s merely the name used for the second new Moon to appear within a solar cycle. Yes, that’s rare. But what’s rarer still is a Hybrid Eclipse. The first one to appear in Aries and your 3rd in 158 years. Think nothing is obvious when it comes to new beginnings in relationships. It’s a three-in-one, triple A cover up. A three layer concealment which combines all three eclipse types. Partial, Annular and Total. What you see depends on where in the world you are. But you won’t see all three.
Mercury retrogrades in your 4th the very next day. So, in combo with this eclipse this is really telling you to delay entering into new agreements or signing on the dotted line unless it absolutely cannot be helped. If you do, please do use that fine tooth comb and get minted trustworthy professional advice if uncertain. Go by your gut.
Just hours after the eclipse, both the Sun and now waxing Moon move on into your 4th and make high tensile aspects to newly arrived Pluto in your sign. You may feel unsure, vulnerable and uncertain. If so, again, slow down and delay your decisions if you can. Your best tactic is simply to hold your position and plug into your newly activated reserves of self-empowerment. The confidence to do nothing until you are ready, is often the winning move, Aquarius.
In a nutshell: Don’t stop until you arrive at the truth under this week’s powerful eclipse in your house of information, Aquarius. And once you have it – use it. You’re on a ‘Need to know’ basis. And believe me, you DO need to know. Ignorance? So not bliss now!

PISCES
Take care of what you have and it will take care of you
Come from a place of unshakeable surety
Value yourself
Lock up that plastic, tighten those purse strings and above all, care for all your resources including the love you have to give, in a way that defines your core values.
Know you ARE precious under the ‘Black’ new Moon and Hybrid Solar Eclipse in your 2nd this week. No more giving yourself away to those who don’t appreciate you. Shore up that self-worth. Whether its time, love or money, it deserves your care. This eclipse is about to show you that if you don’t take care of what you have, others won’t care for it or you either. You set your price, Pisces.
Just what is a ‘Black’ new Moon and a Hybrid Eclipse? The term ‘Black’ moon has nothing to do with the eclipse. It’s merely the name used for the second new Moon to appear within a solar cycle. Yes, that’s rare. But what’s rarer still is a Hybrid Eclipse. The first one to appear in Aries and your
2nd in 158 years. It’s a three-in-one, triple A cover up. A three layer concealment which combines all three eclipse types. Partial, Annular and Total. What you see depends on where in the world you are. But you won’t see all three.
You may now see your income, how you spend and save and what you spend your money on in a valuable new way. You may also suddenly become aware of how you in turn are valued by others. Be this in a commercial sense in how you are paid or rewarded for the work you do. Or a personal one is how others treat you. Respect and care for yourself and what you have. And funny, when we do this, the outer world reflects that value system. And those who don’t – when it all adds up its you who will discover you don’t need them, Pisces.
Saturn now in your sign adds to this kind of surety. It all has to add up. But the actual reckoning may take a new more weeks to be fully accounted for. Hours after the eclipse the Sun and now waxing new Moon enter your 3rd and impact both Pluto in your 12th and the North Node. Revealing who or what is an asset to you. And where you are being short-changed. Mercury which rules your 3rd retrogrades the following day. In a ruling sign or house, a Mercury retrograde has the capacity to serve more than its usual portion of mayhem. Another reason to hold tight to your money and resist any urge to splurge. No, its not the bargain you may think it is, Pisces. The same goes for that person doing the love bomb hard-sell for your heart. Caveat emptor this week.
In a nutshell: If you undervalue yourself then others will too. See yourself as your most precious asset under this week’s eclipse in your sector of money and self-worth. Caring for what you have and seeing yourself as a precious asset, means you invest correctly, Pisces.
