114 | Virgo Full Moon: Handling Our Baggage, Clearing the Haze

This week: Mercury in sleepy Pisces wakes up with an exciting sextile aspect to Uranus, on the Sabian symbol, A man handling baggage. Shall we take this as a gentle suggestion to sort out our own baggage, particularly the emotional kind? April’s advice is to choose a focal point for sorting out, such as a cupboard or a small closet - a manageable project that won’t overload your Mercury mind. A square aspect between Venus (the planet of love) and Uranus (planet of disruption) could spell problems for romantic relationships and bank accounts. Helpfully, Venus is in Aquarius, a sign that doesn't mind shaking things up. Finally, let's throw an astrological New Year's party as the Sun moves into Aries! Plus: Are listener Patti's transits ganging up on her? Have a question you’d like answered on the show?  Email April or leave it here! Want to share your own rendition of the Moonwatch theme!
