Welcome, everybody. It's Moon day. It's April 7th. Mercury is stationing direct today.

Some of you might feel the kind of way about that at 26 degrees of Pisces. And Venus is stationing direct this weekend on the day of the Libra full moon.

And Libra is one of Venus's home signs.

So some of you might feel kind of way about that.

I want to ask us to have a pen and paper today.

Some information might come in that we want to work with.

And before we get going with our practice today,

I want to invite just a minute or a few minutes of reflection.

So for those who work with their own astrology, if you are mapping transits,

if you're thinking about your chart, if you're working with retrogrades, consider what

this retrograde time has been about for you. And Venus started its retrograde shadow around the end of January.

Mercury's shadow started around the beginning of March.

But they've also been working with Mars retrograde and cancer and Leo, which the shadow extends all the way back to last October.

So you can kind of go where you want to, for those of you who are working with your

astrology, you might think about the water and air placements in your chart.

They're getting very stimulated, really activated right now by these retrogrades. And then you might also

think about that cuspy space between Pisces and Ares, where Venus and Mercury are

retrograding and stationing direct this week for particular topic themes. So if you're not someone who's working with your own chart a lot,

or if you're hearing all that that I just said and you're like, I don't really know what to do

with that, that's totally fine. Put it to the side. And anyone who is working with their chart,

you can keep that in mind.

But I'd like to give us a couple of minutes just to reflect back on the last several months. And so whether you're thinking just back in the last month or so to the beginning of March,
