Welcome back to The Essential Astrocast.

I am your host, Veronica Perretti,
and this is the podcast you listen

to when you want to know what's going
on up in the heavens, so that you can

dictate your fate down here on Earth.

Okay, it is April 1st April's Fool's Day,
which is like my least favorite day of

the year because I do not like being.

I tricked upon ever since I was a
kid, I did not like April's Fool's

Day and my son was supposed to be
born April 4th and I was so worried

that he was going to be an April
Fool's baby and thankfully he was not.

He had to come out three weeks early, so
he was actually at born a Pisces instead

of an Aries 11 days before I turned 40.

So I am just on the other side of my
son's third birthday, my 43rd birthday,

and I'm here and I'm super happy
because this is the third week in a

row that I'm getting a podcast to you.

So I'm excited to be here on this full
moon day, even though it is falling

on my least favorite day of the year.

April 1st in April Fool's.

Mode.

It kind of snuck up on me.

I didn't even realize until I sat down
to record that today was the full moon,

which is really unusual for me because as
you probably know, I'm an astrologer and

I do track these things pretty closely.

But in my defense, it's been
a little bit of a crazy week.

We're on spring break here and my son.

Nursery school or preschool.

And he has spring break this week
and we're doing potty learning.

So my mind is very much in
that and not in the sky.

So this is gonna be a short episode just
to keep you posted on what's going on.

I didn't wanna leave you hanging,
especially with this full

moon, which for all intents and
purposes, is a pretty nice vand.

This is a pretty nice full moon.

It is in the sign of Libra.

So it's 12 degrees.

Full Moon in Libra, the sun
is at 12 degrees of Aries.

The moon is at 12 degrees of Libra.

We have a full moon when the
moon is exactly opposite the sun.

So whenever we have a full moon
in Libra, every Aries season.

We are called to look at the balance
between me and we we're called

to look at the balance between
ourselves as an individual and

ourself in the relationship, in
the partnership, whatever that is.

That can be a partnership with your
boss, your client, your romantic

partner, a family member, a best friend.

But looking at how you're showing up in
relationships, how you wanna be showing

up in relationships, how other people
are showing up in your relationships.

And then you also wanna look at where
this is happening in your chart.

So for me, this is
happening in my sixth house.

So I know that this has to do with
routines and some health stuff.

And then this is what's
so cool about astrology.

Astrology is actually, in
my opinion, more helpful.

In reverse than looking forward
because I looked at this full moon

and the moons that it relates to.

So there is a system that I use
called Lunar families widely known

system, and each moon corresponds to.

Another moon nine months
behind and nine months ahead.

So this full moon corresponds to the first
quarter moon at a similar degree of Libra.

So this one's at 12 degrees nine
months ago, on July 2nd, we had.

A first quarter Libra Moon
at 11 degrees nine months.

Prior to that, we had a new moon on
September 2nd, 2024, and that was

a new moon in Libra at 10 degrees.

So this part of your chart is telling
a story that is unpacking over this

long arcing period of time, of two and
a half years, and I look back to that.

September 2nd, 2024,
and to July 2nd, 2025.

And I looked at my calendar, my Google
calendar to see what was going on, what

was I doing, what was taking up my time.

And I had some health stuff going on, and
then health stuff has been figured out.

And I have a little bit more health stuff
to work on and nothing bad, all things

that are well within my means to work on.

But just noticing this is happening in
my sixth house of health and habits and

day-to-day life and what are some of
those things that I'm thinking about and

working on and will continue to work on.

Um.

As this cycle evolves.

So in your own chart, there's something
that dates back to that time, um, that

was seeded on September 2nd, 2024, and
that started to blossom on July 2nd, 2025.

And is now fully in view
for you on April 1st, 2026.

So look at your calendar, look at your
photos, and just notice what was coming

up and how whatever story that is,
is panning out and honor the Venetian

nature of it because it is a Libra Full
Moon, which means it is ruled by Venus.

Now luckily, this Full
Moon is ruled by Venus.

At a time, or Venus is now in
Taurus, so Venus rules Libra,

but she also rules Taurus.

So Venus in Taurus is very steady.

We had Venus move into
Taurus on Monday, March 30th.

So this is giving us a little spot of
peace, and ease and steadiness in the sky.

Because Venus and Taurus is like the
gardener, tending to the soil, tending to

the seeds, tending to the plants, working
that garden, tending to it, watching

it, caring for it, and being patient.

That is the essence of Venus and Taurus.

So we all have something in our life
where we can bring some more tenderness,

some more care, and some more patients.

And I think we all need to give
that to ourselves right now.

And Venus and Torres
teaches us to do that.

She is in charge of this
full moon, thankfully.

And therefore it is a pretty nice
tender new Moon, sorry, full moon.

And we are having something
illuminated, as I said.

There is a T square in the
sky with this full moon.

It is, the sun and the moon are
both in a square to Jupiter.

Now, not the worst thing.

'cause Jupiter along with Venus
are the two fics of the sky.

We love them, they're
our brightest lights.

Jupiter is at 15 degrees of
cancer where he is exalted.

Now note he's been there for weeks
because he actually stationed

direct back on March 10th.

He's still at 15 degrees where
he's stationed, so he is working

really hard at trying to get
into gear moving forward again.

He's finally starting
to pick up the piece.

So we are feeling that
amplification because Jupiter

amplifies anything it touches, it
really brings more light to it.

It expands it, it grows it.

Jupiter is a planet that we love
to see because he rules abundance,

but he also rules excess.

If there is an imbalance in your
relationships right now, because Libra is

associated with partnerships, if there is
an imbalance in your relationships or your

partnerships right now, um, that is going
to be amplified by that Jupiter Square.

But t Squares always have a release point,
and the release point of this one is

15 degrees Capricorn, which means that.

We just have to lean into what our
vision for what this relationship or

this project or this thing could be.

What do we want it to look
like in the next 18 months?

Because this is the halfway
point of this larger lunar

family cycle that I'm mentioning.

You know, where were you?

September 2nd, 2024.

And where do you wanna
be 18 months from now?

And what is that vision and leaning
into the Capricorn Capricorn likes?

I think Capricorn is
the CEO of the Zodiac.

It holds the vision, so we just
have to hold the vision and then

put the steps in place to get there.

Being aware of that, um, as we
move through this full moon and

work with this energy this week.

Now there's a couple other things
going on this week that I wanna get to.

We've got the full Moon on
Wednesday as I'm talking to you.

And then Friday we have
a few things happening.

So Friday is good.

Friday we have Mercury.

Trining Jupiter.

So if you're watching the news, or
really if you're on social media like

I am, if you're a Bravo fan like I
am, you know that the world is melting

down because of what's going on with
Amanda and West on Summer House.

If you are a person who follows
political gossip up, you know that

the internet is melting down over
Christie no's Cross-Dressing husband.

There's a whole lot of stuff going on.

I haven't even tapped into
the news yet today, and it's.

3:45 PM here.

Um, so I don't even know what more
craziness is happening, but there's a

lot happening and you might be thinking,
why is there so much happening right now?

Okay.

This is why on Monday and
Tuesday we had the moon in Virgo.

We spent most of March being
in Eclipse season, the eclipses

were in Virgo and Pisces.

The moon going through Virgo on Monday
and Tuesday tapped into those eclipse.

Points, those degrees in the chart
where the eclipse had occurred

in February and and March.

It eclipses take weeks and
months to unpack themselves.

At the same time, we had Mercury
retrograde for most of March, so we still

are in the shadow of Mercury retrograde.

We're not out of the shadow of
Mercury retrograde until April 10th.

So we are still unpacking the
puzzle pieces and fitting them

together for Mercury retrograde.

So Monday, Tuesday, when the moon
came through Virgo and activated those

eclipse degrees in the midst of us also.

Sitting here getting more information from
the Mercury retrograde that we just had.

It's like all of this stuff that
was percolating under the surface

got sped up during March with the
eclipses and with Mercury retrograde.

Anything that was hiding under the
surface came up and then the moon on

Monday, Tuesday in Virgo activated
those points and brought them.

Into our field of consciousness, and
therefore it's in our social media feeds.

We are gonna get more information.

We're gonna continue to get information
as we move through the next few days

toward April 10th, which is the end
of the Mercury retro shade period.

But on Friday we're definitely getting
more information because Mercury in

Pisces will be trying Jupiter in cancer.

Remember, Jupiter is amplification.

Jupiter brings abundance.

Jupiter makes things.

Bigger.

He likes excess.

So Mercury and Jupiter working together,
we're gonna get more information.

So stay tuned for all
my fellow Bravo holics.

I anticipate that Friday we're gonna
have a lot more information on Amanda

and West and Sierra, and all the
things that are kind of come from this

and because of this and et cetera.

And also just, you know, pay attention
to what's going on in your life.

What are you figuring out?

What are you noticing?

What are you being called
to pay attention to?

Um, Friday will be a day that
I've anticipate we'll have some

puzzle pieces falling into place.

We also have Venus squaring Pluto
on Friday, and this is one of the.

More challenging transits and astrology.

Not the most, but Pluto.

Is the planet that is
associated with power.

So Venus is associated not only with
our relationships and our money, but

everything that is a value to us.

What are our values?

Full moons and Libra tend to have us
considering what's important to us.

What is fair, what is equal.

What is just because those are some of
the themes that are associated with Libra.

It is symbolized as the
of the scales of justice.

So I know there's a lot of
Supreme Court news today.

I wish I had more to say about it, but
again, I have been super busy with.

The potty.

So I haven't really tapped into that.

And the Amanda West of it all is really
my entertainment and dissociating

skill theme of the moment, if you will.

Um, I haven't dropped into that,
but I know that there's some stuff

coming outta the Supreme Court
today, which I imagine is also a

lot of this, like a lot of these.

Planetary energies are
playing into that as well.

It is a good moment for me to
remind you and offer the caveat

that the planets don't do things.

We as human beings have free
will, and we make choices based

on our study of astrology and
astronomy throughout the years.

We see patterns that tend to
play out when the planet's.

Interact with one
another in a certain way.

So those patterns are what
help us make predictions.

But they're not actually
making anything happen.

People are making things happen.

People have free will.

People are making decisions.

So just pay attention to what's
coming outta the Supreme Court.

Pay attention to.

Conversations around fairness
and equality and just justice.

Of course, we know everything.

That's a lot of what's
going on in this country.

Really everything that's going on
in the world right now is unjust,

unfair, and absolutely abhorrent.

And hopefully, I mean, I know
that there have been a few wins

for Democracy Forward, which
is a wonderful organization.

I.

Make a monthly contribution to them
because they are one of the ones

on the front lines, groups bringing
cases to the courts to attempt to

hold this administration accountable.

So hopefully Morgan News coming
outta that front with this full moon.

But back to Friday, mercury trine Jupiter
means that we're gonna get more messages.

More information that will be coming
to us, whether it's about Summer House,

whether it's about the Supreme Court,
whether it's about your own life.

Just know that there's going to be
more information coming to you on

Friday, and hopefully a few more
puzzle pieces will click into place.

We also have the Venus Square Pluto,
which I was mentioning, which is often.

An illumination of a power struggle
or a place where there is someone

trying to control, or a place
where someone feels powerless.

Imbalances of power will become
visible with Venus Square, Pluto.

Venus is in Torres, Pluto is an Aquarius.

S This is interesting because I'm not
sure, I don't think this, I think this

might be the first Venus, pluto Square
that we've had with Pluto and Aquarius.

I could be wrong about that.

I would have to check, but either way,
I think that this is going to be a

time where, okay, we did have a Venus

Square, Pluto back in November of 25,
and that was when Venus was in Scorpio.

And prior to that we did have one.

So we did have one last June with Venus
and Taurus and Pluto and Aquarius.

So we have been here before.

Um, but I do think that Venus
Square Pluto is gonna be bringing

up a lot of these same themes and
illuminating them on even more.

Now my son is waking up, so I'm gonna have
to get going, but I'm almost done anyway.

Let's wrap it up.

We have one more transit I wanted to
mention to you, which is Sunday Easter

we have the Sun Square Jupiter, which
is perfect for Easter because it is

an examination and an illumination
and an amplification of your beliefs.

Jupiter is our beliefs.

It's our confidence.

It is what we believe in
and our belief in ourself.

So having that square on Sunday,
yes, squares can be challenging.

Yes, squares can be friction.

Yes, they can be things that are
catalysts, but it's going to, um, be

helpful in examining your beliefs,
in stepping into your confidence and.

Remembering what's important to you,
and then really being able to ground

into that feeling that embodying that.

So Friday, a little bit challenging
with that Venus Square Pluto.

Notice lots of information will
be coming up on Friday in the days

leading up to it and the days after it.

Don't let yourself get overstimulated
by all the information coming in.

Remember to align yourself with
what's important because that

Venus Square Pluto is going to
say, where is there an imbalance?

Where am I out of alignment with
the things that are important to me?

Maybe it's spending money
where you shouldn't be spending

it because it is tax season.

We're thinking about money.

Maybe it is.

Being irresponsible with your
time and feeling burned out.

Maybe it's an imbalance
in the relationship.

Maybe this is the full Moon and
Libra trickling out and we're feeling

it with that Venus Square Pluto.

And it's about finding that balance
in your relationship or in your

relationship with something in your life.

So for me, I know it's finding.

Some balance and some tenderness
around some health stuff.

Taking care of myself, making
sure I'm honoring my limits.

So for you it could be something
similar or something totally

different, but remember you wanna
come back to what's important to me?

Am I aligning with that?

Am I aligning with what is.

Most valued for me at this time.

All right, I got a jump.

I hope that was helpful.

Loving that.

We're talking every week now, feeling
really good about being back in the

flow and I will talk to you next week.

Alright.

Take care of yourself
and have a happy Easter.

Happy Passover.

Happy spring, whatever you celebrate.

One last thing, make sure
you're on my email list.
