This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on April 23, 2020, it gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study must be nuanced by bringing it closer to your birth chart, and to your Transits and Progressions for Forecasts.
Think, to help you, to read my interpretation article of the New moon and Full moon in houses.
Significant social changes
This lunation tends to activate more directly the Uranus in Taurus transit by Conjunction, which is particularly powerful as a contrast, especially since at the same time the aerial Aquarius also welcomes the Mars and Saturn transits, this highlights more directly a duality “security / freedom”, Earth / Air.
The air forces are very much valued during this period, we also see Venus in Gemini at the trine of Mars and a Mercury Aries rather tense in configuration, this evokes to me powerful energies requiring exteriorization and having a very important “charge of social rupture”.
The Capricorn stellium always give the measure in the background, this being said, it happens a bit now as if Jupiter came to make a “flushing effect” on the Saturnian energies, a bit as if the planet came to say to it “Hey ho old man, that’s enough now, we’re fed up with your Capricorn weight, we must move, we must move forward, we must dare <<< to reform >>> what must be, get out of the way so that I can activate things”…
The Saturn / Uranus quadrature remains moreover the most salient and active over the period (beware the first Taurus / Aquarius decans), and here conservative values are clearly questioned and even challenged to make a change, even if it also implies taking risks and going out of its comfort zone, there is a notion of “spreading-out” where we can become aware that we cannot have everything at the same time, but at the same time that by “surfing well” on what is asked for in the present we can make very productive, effective and relevant compromises !
This can be translated more directly within the socio-professional sphere, which may be the first concerned in terms of confrontations (and at the level of background transits), but with also this trine of the fast planets Venus / Mars, as well as the retrograde motion of Venus which is being prepared a little after the full moon, it is not excluded either that particular affective elements are activated and find ramifications later on (depending on one’s natal chart).
We can say that Venus will reach its stationary phase from this new moon, so it will activate in the mid-term the 2nd decan and the beginning of the 3rd decan Gemini (insisting on it in depth), which will have repercussions on all these same decans of the Mutable signs.
Be careful also because the Neptune square will be activated more prominently by this planet in the sky especially around the full moon of May 07 2020, which can mix confusion, idealization, notions of sacrifice, and make a rather detonating mixture that I will detail better on the Venus retrograde in Gemini article.
The full moon of May 7 2020, remains otherwise quite “floating”, with the passage of Venus retrograde on May 13, at the same time as Mars passes in Pisces it is a sky that can be more easily “undecided”, not knowing what to think, nor especially how to reconcile what we think with what we feel, and not at all sure that the next new moon can bring much more clarity on these points, on the contrary.
Note also that this full moon phase will see at few days apart the 2 social planets, Saturn and Jupiter, going retrograde, increasing the “mired” side of the period at the social level (it will have been important to settle a maximum of things during the first quarter obviously)…
But we can also think, after what will have been raised during march / april, that we also need a healthy “rest” to restructure our forces, a “step back to better jump” concerning the energies of this Capricorn stellium, which can be in some people quite “tiring”, demanding (especially the 3rd decan of Cardinal signs, of course).
