In 5784….During Cheshvan we learned that the ancestral superpower of Zevulon’s Tribe is communication.During Kislev we learn that Gemini’s light must bring meaning to information and probe beyond mere data for significance.
Gemini’s Tikkun for Tevet’s anger is sincerity.
Chodesh Shevat’s spiritual nourishment feeds your flexibility.
Chodesh Adar Aleph returns joy to your career and work life.
If you’re doubting the strength of your interpersonal connections, Adar Bet renews your faith in those strong bonds.
Speech is the tikkun of Chodesh Nissan, and with planetary ruler Mercury/Kochav retrograde in Aries through April 25, your communicative powers are challenged to produce a truth that enlightens and edifies your community.
No better day to clarify a sticky position than April 11, with Sun conjunct retrograde Mercury and the Moon in Gemini.
Retrograde Mercury conjuncts “Wounded Healer” Chiron April 15 at the First Quarter Moon in Cancer, and again when stationed direct May 6. You have two chances to learn sensitivity to the vulnerability of others, perhaps with the sweetening of Venus conjunct Retrograde Mercury on April 19.
CHODESH NISSAN 5784 (April 8 – May 7, 2024)
The tikkun of Chodesh Nissan is speech. The word Pesach is said by the Holy Arizal to be a conjugation of “Peh” and “Sach” – the mouth speaks. This alludes to reciting the Haggadah. Speaking the story of our historical redemption helps to bring redemption in our times – and the use of our speech to destroy one another is what delays our redemption. Unless we’re using the power of speech to create love and unity, we’re wasting our breath.
Retrograde Mercury/Kochav in Aries during the Aries Total Solar Eclipse Erev Rosh Chodesh Nissan brings the drama! Walk back an aggressive stance? Are promises made under duress made to be broken, and what are the consequences? Mars/Ma’adim conjuncts Saturn/Shabbtai in Pisces, and the Sun conjuncts retrograde Mercury April 10-11. We can’t simply muscle through the chaos without harming ourselves or others.
There’s a 3-day planetary panoply April 19-20. Mars sextiles Jupiter and Uranus April 19, the Sun enters Taurus, and retrograde Mercury conjuncts Venus. Shabbat HaGadol is the epochal conjunction of Jupiter/Tzedek and Uranus/Oron, which happens every 14 years and hasn’t occurred in Taurus since 1941. Venus conjuncts Chiron with the Sun square to Pluto on April 21. BIG SURPRISE: either a champagne supernova in the sky or a raw power play born of seething desperation.
Pesach’s Full Moon in Scorpio (because it’s a Pregnant “Leap” Year) reveals that emotionally, we’re all in a massive, worldwide trauma bond. “Dayanu” takes on multiple new layers of meaning.
The power of speech to create magical possibilities or magnificent delusions is possible when Mars conjuncts Neptune/Rahav April 28, before entering Aries April 30. With Venus entering Taurus and squaring Pluto April 29-30, there’s every hope that the power of love might be the strongest power of all. If we say so, may it be so.
