110 | Leo Full Moon: Many Little Birds!

In this episode, April shares a little history about Valentine’s Day and how this holiday connects with the week’s union between lovers Venus and Mars. Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Aquarius on Valentine's Day; it’s a great week to get back in touch with old friends, or to reach out and connect with someone new. But keep your messages light and breezy; Aquarius prefers it that way!

Next up, the Full Moon in Leo, with Sabian symbols of little birds on a tree from Leo and a chopped-down tree from Aquarius. This may seem contradictory, but then, the Full Moon always brings revelations. Perhaps it’s time for you to reevaluate your position and rethink the seeds you planted at the Feb. 1 New Moon. If you’re carrying some hurt inside you, the Leo Sabian symbol suggests that you find your community and join the little birds on the branch, as being part of a group can be a healing experience.

April shares this week’s void-of-course Moon periods and tells you what to look out for and how to make the most of these liminal times. She also shares a mini lesson on understanding planetary cycles – how can you tell which planets' transits are most newsworthy? Plus: the Sun enters restful Pisces, Jupiter connects with Uranus' jumper cables for the first time since last January, and relationship reboots!

Registration is open through Feb. 21 for April's Fundamental of Forecasting course - classes begin Feb. 26, 2022!
