Astrology of Tuesday, April 17th 2018

Tuesday shares with Monday the distinction of having 5 of the 7 visible planets in their signs of rulership or exaltation. While Monday saw the Moon in Taurus aspect sturdy Saturn, today finds Luna conjoined to Venus, which lends it a more langorous quality, rather unsuited to the last minute hustle America’s tax deadline will apply to some citizen’s schedules. Regardless its inconvenience, the Moon-Venus conjunction is still a quite-pleasant configuration, and one which you might glimpse in the west just after the Sun sets.

In contrast to the the langor and luxury of the Venus-Moon conjunction is Saturn’s retrograde station. Direct in motion since before he entered Capricorn, the slow planet has made it all the way to the 10^th degree of the Goat’s sign, the limit of its first decan. Saturn will be retrograde for the next 4-months, highlighting the challenges already introduced and revealing the efficacy of our responses to them.
