Mercury is now traveling direct in motion until August 2, 2011.
This Mercury retrograde station has been filled with crisis, challenges, stalemates and standstills. You may have felt cut off and isolated from those that bring you comfort. With Mercury at 12:54 Aries when it turned direct was opposite retrograde Saturn at 12 Libra. This creates a set up for mental blocks and failed attempts. You may have been frustrated the entire week with annoying mishaps and seemingly constant misunderstandings. The good news is that most of this is behind us with the exception of next Saturday's Venus - Saturn opposition.
Expense is measured through the relationships as well as money.
As you move forward your efforts are less likely to be met with paper jams and missed calls. Maybe you have spilled just about everything you touch. I have. The extreme resistance to compromise is evident with this elongated opposition of Mercury and Saturn.

My thoughts about the Royal Wedding will follow this report. The charts of William and Kate and their marriage will be the topic of the astrology class this Monday night in Watertown. This is a very interesting study that you won’t want to miss. Call ahead for your seat in the class and directions. Although there is no birth time available for Kate Middleton her solar chart supplies adequate information for this study.

The Moon is in Capricorn Saturday April 23 - Sunday at 1:59 PM
The Moon is in Aquarius Sunday at 1:59 PM until Wednesday April 27 at 12:57 AM
The Moon is in Pisces on Wednesday at 12:57 AM until Friday at 1:33 PM
The Moon is in Aries on Friday April 29 at 1:33 PM until Monday May 2nd at 1:58 AM.

Green Light Days to Move Forward with Your Goals are:
Saturday 4/23 from 6:05 AM through Sunday 4/24 at 3:27 AM when the final aspect is a positive Moon-Pluto parallel aspect. The Moon is void of course (VOC) from 3:27 AM until 1:59 PM Sunday.

Therefore again on Sunday 4/24 you have a green light from 1:59 PM through Tuesday at 11:43 PM with a positive Moon - Jupiter contra parallel aspect. The VOC period is from 11:43 PM Tuesday 4-26 until 12:57 AM Wednesday.

Green Light Wednesday 4/27, from 12:57 AM until Friday April 29, 2011 at 7:49 AM ET which is 12:49 PM in London for the Royal Wedding. VOC period is from 7:49 AM ET until 1:33 PM ET when the Moon enters Aries.

There is a new Green Light period that begins with the Aries Moon through Monday May 2nd at 1:23 AM.
