Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello and welcome to
Pisces Moon Astrology.
I'm your astrologer, kateLeonard, and I'm excited to
explore the stars with you.
Hi everyone, welcome to theweek of April 13th through the
19th.
Let's get ready to talk aboutNeptune.
Okay, so, to get us started andyes, I'm just going to say at
(00:26):
this one time you know I don'tlike Neptune, but I'm going to
try to be fair here.
Yeah, I'm going to try.
Anywho, the big event this weekis on the 16th, mercury and
Neptune meet up together.
They form a conjunction infiery, fiery Aries.
So this is going to be quite abig deal.
(00:49):
That's the big thing I'm goingto focus on this week.
It's a lot about creativity,it's a lot about confusion yeah,
I think it's mostly aboutconfusion, but we'll talk and
then on April 19th, mars isgoing to form a trine, which is
a harmonious aspect to Neptune.
(01:10):
Neptune's in Aries, a Marsruled sign.
So this is kind of interesting,and I can probably be a little
nicer about the whole Neptuneenergy when we get toward the
end of the week.
So before we get there, let megive you some other dates that
might be of interest to you, andI'm going to try to get these
(01:30):
in order.
This is like the third timethat I've tried to record this.
So on the 13th we're going toget the exact trine between Mars
and Mercury.
So this is expect empoweredcommunication and ideas.
On the 14th we get theharmonious aspect between Uranus
(01:53):
, that's rebellion, independence, breaking free and unexpected
events making that harmoniousaspect to the lunar nodes, which
is fate, karma, destiny.
So be ready for what we don'tknow, but it will be big and it
(02:13):
will be important.
All week.
Mars will be in a close squareto the sun, so feeling the need
to defend ourselves is likely tocome up.
Just be aware of that.
That's going to be basicallyall week long.
And keep in mind that on the18th Mars will move into Leo.
(02:38):
This is good in the long runand problematic in the short run
.
So Mars has been in a signwhere he's really uncomfortable.
He's been in cancer.
Moving into Leo for Mars, bothfiery, fiery energies that's a
really, really good thing.
But first off, he's going to bemoving into that exact
(03:02):
opposition to Pluto in Aquarius.
This will be his third time andlast time for a while, opposing
Pluto.
So there's going to be somewrapping up stuff.
It'll be the last one, but itis all about fire power, war,
aggression.
It's a big deal and that's whatI'll be talking about next week
(03:24):
.
So I'm going to leave that tillthen.
Let's get into this week andNeptune.
So, as always, mercury is goingto go conjunct with Neptune.
That means meet at the exactdegree on the 16th.
This is happening in Aries.
We've been building toward thisenergy, so it's not like that
(03:46):
day we just all of a sudden getthis wow kabang of this energy.
Right, we've been feeling italready, but this is the day
when it's going to be mostintense.
So it's not like it'll come outof the blue, but it is going to
be bigger on this day, asalways, look to see where Aries
(04:07):
is in your natal chart.
I get people asking me thisliterally every week, sometimes
multiple times a week how tomake sense of this information
One.
We're going to all get hit withthis information in a sort of
general way in our lives, andmost of us will know it when we
feel it.
But if you want more cluesabout how it's going to affect
(04:32):
you, you want to look in yournatal chart and find what house
is Aries, because that's goingto tell you a little bit more
about what area of life youshould be expecting this energy
in.
Okay, I hope that makes sense.
If it doesn't reach out, book areading and I promise you
you'll understand your natalchart after we work together.
(04:55):
So, moving on, thisMercury-Neptune meetup is all
happening in the very earlydegrees of Aries.
Aries is being assertive, butit's also let's be real
aggressive.
All right, it's ruled by Mars,and at the time of this
conjunction, mars is still goingto be in cancer, where he's not
(05:17):
happy, he's petulant, he'stantrum-y.
So the host of Aries is notgoing to be giving any kind of
good support to this conjunction, and that's unfortunate.
But yeah, we want to take intoaccount that Aries energy.
It's a good time to beassertive, right, but it may be
(05:40):
more extreme than that as well,so it's important to keep that
in mind.
Just to give you a reminderabout the Neptune in Aries
energy.
I talked about this a whileback and undoubtedly we'll be
talking about this more whenSaturn enters Aries, but just to
give you a kind of refresher.
On April 12th in 1861, the veryfirst shots of the Civil War
(06:07):
were fired.
Neptune entered Aries the verynext day.
In fact, I think it wasn't even24 hours later.
Okay, that's what we're talkingabout.
That's the kind of energy thatNeptune in Aries brings.
A war over ideology, right.
A war over philosophy.
Neptune is spirituality,philosophy.
(06:30):
Neptune is spirituality,philosophy, ideology, those kind
of words.
And Aries is war, right, one ofthe things Aries is Sorry, all
you Aries, rising sun and moonpeople out there but one of the
things is, you know, it's battleand war.
(06:50):
That can be noble or not.
So we got the civil war.
We're in that energy again forthe first time since then.
So I just wanted to set thatbackdrop Neptune and Aries alone
.
We may find that we are reallygoing to battle in some way for
what we believe.
What else is Neptune?
He is illusion, delusion, lies.
(07:14):
Neptune can bring somedifficult stuff.
Of course he's also creativeenergy and spirituality.
It just depends on what side ofhim we're getting.
Now we're going to bringMercury.
Mercury is what Our minds, ourintellect, our thoughts.
I know all those mean basicallythe same thing, but you get
(07:36):
what I'm saying Communication,travel, and the ancient
astrologers said that Mercuryruled what happened in the
marketplace.
So that's financial interactionsand marketing and all of that
kind of stuff, anything, socialmedia, that's both communication
(07:56):
and, in some way, marketing forsome people, right?
So you can see Mercury'sbringing a whole lot of really
important stuff to this Neptunein Aries picture, the best spin
we can put on this combinationand my writer and creative
friends out there listen upbecause there is a good spin
(08:18):
yeah, the best thing we can sayabout this is Neptune and
Mercury coming together can betruly inspired.
Ideas, creative inspiration,ideas, creative inspiration.
And, in Aries, a passionatecreative inspiration, right?
So all of you who are workingin creative fields, especially
(08:41):
that involve Neptunian kinds ofor that fall into Neptunian
kinds of categories, likefiction writers, screenwriters,
actors, painters, all of thosepeople who work in the realm of
what's not true right?
You guys could get inspired,passionately inspired that's
(09:04):
Aries in this artistic way,that's Neptune.
And you could be writing andcommunicating and doing all of
that stuff connected to all ofthis creative inspiration.
So you could be writing andcommunicating and doing all of
that stuff connected to all ofthis creative inspiration.
So we could be brilliant.
The problem is Neptune andMercury together spell confusion
.
All right, that is the mainenergy that I think almost any
(09:29):
astrologer is going to assign tothese two planets coming
together.
Neptune is underwater, he'sconfusion, we don't see clearly,
and Mercury's our brain, right?
I don't see clearly in my brain.
That is confusion, right?
So, yes, there could be all ofthis creative inspiration, but
(09:51):
you might find that it takes youa while to actually sort
through it, like that doesn'tmean it's not inspired, but that
passion you feel at thebeginning to like, oh, I'm going
to write this book, paint thispainting, do whatever it is,
launch this marketing campaign.
I am so inspired.
Yeah, you're probably alsoconfused.
(10:14):
You may not even know it,because Neptune is kind of those
rose colored glasses whereeverything looks great and
amazing and then the glassescome off and you're like, oh,
wait a minute, I need to fixsome problems here.
Okay, so that is the mainenergy confusion.
The problem is in Aries.
(10:36):
We're going to fight for thatconfusion, right?
So here's the thing.
Let me just some examples.
Let's say that this ishappening in your seventh house
of relationships.
Neptune in the seventh house isalways a problem, because talk
about the rose colored glasses.
This is like you kiss theprince, or you think you do, and
(10:58):
then you find out he's the frog.
It's kind of like the oppositeof the fairy tale.
Whatever that kiss a frog, heturns into a prince thing.
Yeah, this is the opposite.
You kiss who you think is aprince, take off the glasses and
yeah, that's a big old toadsitting in your palm right there
.
That you got your lips all overPretty right.
Passion though you were doing apassionate, like with tongue
(11:20):
kind of kiss with the frog.
Okay, I know, too gross, toomuch, move on, but that's what
it could be right.
You could find that you'rereally, really passionate about
somebody and then, as Mercurypulls away from Neptune and we
get some clarity, you might belike, oh, I could need to
(11:41):
rethink some things about thisrelationship.
If this is hitting you in thefourth house, if Aries is your
fourth house, sign this could besome family dynamic, right,
where you're getting all firedup about something in your
family interactions and then youfind out afterwards that you
(12:02):
were the one who was confused.
Fifth house is creativity andchildren.
So we've already talked about apassionate art, inspiration,
kind of thing that you then haveto rethink and sort through.
It doesn't mean that it waswrong.
I mean totally wrong.
The inspiration may be veryreal.
(12:23):
I mean totally wrong.
The inspiration may be veryreal.
It's just kind of how you'regoing to articulate it or bring
it into being might need to getworked out.
Interactions with childrenwould also fall in the fifth
house.
The 10th house is career.
So you were passionate about anew project or passionate about
a new job, or you go ready topitch ideas to your boss or
(12:44):
whoever it is, and later on, andyou'll fight for those ideas.
That's the problem with Aries,right, it's not that we're
confused and have to workthrough something, it's that we
are so willing to fight for thatidea.
So you're in with your boss andyou're pitching it.
Your boss is like wait a minute, what?
Though you're like, no, er, weneed to do this thing.
(13:08):
And your boss is like wait what?
And you fight harder and thenin three days you're like, uh-oh
, I always picture that.
Who was that Scooby-Doo orsomething?
Who was like row?
Yeah, picture Scooby-Doo,you're gonna have a Scooby-Doo.
You're going to have aScooby-Doo moment.
Eleventh house is interactionswith your friends.
Twelfth house is this is allgoing to be happening, probably
(13:29):
behind the scenes, probably veryprivately for you.
So you may be strugglingemotionally or psychologically
with this.
So you get the idea.
I know I should have probablyjust covered all the houses and
I didn't, but you get the idea.
I know I should have probablyjust covered all the houses and
I didn't, but you get the idea.
It's going to be confusion,passion, inspiration that we're
willing to fight for.
(13:50):
Yeah, it's complex, yeah, soanyway, that's the big deal.
How do we deal with this?
Hold back on the fighting,right, because there's no
problem with the passion and theinspired ideas and all of this
that you have to maybe iron outa little bit later.
That's not really soproblematic.
(14:12):
What's problematic is howyou're fighting to defend these
confused ideas, right.
So my advice to everybody ifyou can just slow it down a
little bit, bring it down anotch.
Bring down that heat level anotch.
Go for the mild instead of thesuper spicy, right, bring it
(14:34):
down a notch and just give it afew days.
Just give it a week.
Better, but even a few days isgoing to help you.
So that's my suggestion.
Aries, however, is impetuous, soyou may find that you had told
yourself like I'm going to takeit easy, I'm going to tone it
down a little.
(14:54):
I heard what Kate, in all ofher brilliant wisdom, had to say
, and then you find afterwardslike whoa, I fought pretty hard
for that, even though myintention was not to be so
strong so fast.
Aries has that impetuousquality where you almost do it
before you think, yeah,neptune's got your thinking
(15:14):
confused anyway.
So if you can take it down anotch and if you can't, just
know that you may have someapologies and stuff to do later,
all right, I don't know what tosay.
That's just how it's going tobe Mostly.
I don't see.
Well, I don't know.
Could it be really really bad?
Yeah, it could be.
You could be apologizing forit'll come off as like arrogant
(15:38):
because of that Aries thing.
So most of us aren't going toget hit with it where it's
something we can't apologize forand redo.
But I don't know, it's adifficult energy.
It just is All right.
Then later this week we've gotsomething interesting happening.
So I really think by the 19th,I think we're going to be in a
(16:02):
better place with all of this.
All right, let me tell you why.
Mars will have moved into Leoand he's going to be making an
exact to the degree trine themost positive aspect to Neptune
at zero degrees of Aries.
Mars rules Aries.
(16:23):
So now Mars is in a better signfor him.
He likes Leo because they'reboth about fire.
He's out of the water of cancer, thank goodness y'all.
And he's out till he goes allthe way back around the zodiac.
So all that muck we've been insince his retrograding stuff,
he's out of the water.
Yay.
That alone is something tocelebrate.
(16:44):
He's making a very positiveaspect now to Neptune.
So all of that creativity, nowwe've got the fire of
inspiration, all of thatspirituality, that fighting for
our beliefs, but now as a noblewarrior, because Mars is in good
condition and he's sending hisbeams over to Neptune, right.
(17:06):
So fighting for just causes.
The noble warrior, the artistwho's inspired and passionate,
but in a good way, because atthis point Mercury's not far
away from Neptune, mercury's attwo degrees in Aries, but he's
separating in Aries, but he'sseparating.
(17:32):
So the confusion we don't haveNeptune confusion smack in our
brains and we've got thissupport from Mars.
So by the end of the week, allof that chaos that may have come
from the Mercury-Neptuneconjunction, all of that
confusion that we fought forthat now we can sort it out.
And now now, oh my gosh, artists, spiritual people and just
(17:55):
people who are inspired, inwhatever way, right, because you
don't have to be an artist or aguru to be using this energy or
feeling and being able to makepositive use of this Neptune
energy.
This is just inspiration andwhatever.
And again, that's why I saylook at the house it's in.
(18:18):
You may be inspired with yourfriends and the flow and the
soul union between your friendsis just dynamic.
In the second house of moneyright, this may be that you're
getting incredible creativeideas about how to increase your
income.
In the ninth house ofpublication, higher education,
(18:43):
foreign travel again,inspiration in those areas of
your life, right.
So, oh, sixth house people dietand exercise.
Whoa, you're like, I got this.
I can start my new routine.
That's going to make me reallyhealthy and really vibrant, okay
(19:04):
, so it doesn't have to be justinspiration for creative people
or for people who work inspirituality or who define
spiritual activity or practicesas the main part of their life.
This is for everybody.
Seventh house people.
This is now romance, romanceand less confusion, okay, so it
(19:31):
does get better, I think.
If you can just keep a lid onit a little bit until the 19th,
I think you're golden, right,but yeah, there's some stuff to
get through before we make it tothe end of the week.
I am positive.
I wish I could say other, butI'm positive a lot of us are
(19:51):
going to be facing some, oh mygoodness.
Anyway, thank you so much.
That's what I've got for youthis week and I really
appreciate you being here.
I really appreciate you sharingthe podcast.
It would help me out.
So so much to get the numbersup a little bit and go over to
Substack subscribe it's free.
(20:12):

she is over there doinghoroscopes, if you want to see

spicy arena.
Okay, so everything will bedown in the show notes, links
