This Friday, April 15th, 2022 is Good Friday! Good Friday is always the Friday before Easter Sunday. It is the day when Christians reflect on the crucifixion of Jesus. While there are a variety of traditions associated with Good Friday such as eating fish and preparing for the Easter holiday, this is an astrological overview that offers insight into the energies that will start off the long Easter weekend.
Under the energy of the moon in Libra, there is a desire for socialization and relationships. We’ll find that people are generally interested in getting along and compromising for the most part which is great for energy to kick off the Easter weekend.
This Libra moon influence also allows us to at least consider other people’s perspectives and seek justice. So, this Good Friday vibe is more “other-oriented” with a willingness to display camaraderie and tact when dealing with other people.
On the flip side, the moon in Libra energy doesn’t provide the best conditions for making decisions. Libra is known for its indecisiveness due to its ability to see all perspectives making it less pointed in deciding for itself. Thus, it is best to hold off on attempting to make important decisions because we’ll probably be more interested in compromising to please others under this moon in Libra energy. For the most part, the emotional energy and vibes of this Good Friday are oriented towards socializing with others, focusing on our relationships, and seeking peace, harmony, and balance.
Motivated by the Spirituality & Compassion-Mars in Pisces
Mars, the planet of action and motivation, moved into the spiritual sign of Pisces on April 14th. This creates energy for this Good Friday that is not focused on direct motivations. We can expect the Neptune/Pisces energy to impact our drive and motivation over the next six weeks or so.
In general, Mars in Pisces isn’t motivated by the ambitions and expectations of the external world. In fact, Mars in Pisces is a good placement for Good Friday because it represents a leaning towards spiritual pursuits, and the desire to be compassionate and empathetic.
Under the energy of Mars in Pisces, it is hard to get things going, especially when it comes to processing information. So, this Good Friday is best for simply chilling out and prepping for the Easter weekend. Due to the influence of Neptune/Pisces, many could be motivated to pursue spiritual pursuits such as meditation and yoga, creative pursuits such as arts and music, or we could choose to delve into our own little dream world.
Overall, the motivating vibe of this Good Friday is one of “going with the flow” courtesy of Mars in Pisces.
A Difference in Perspective
As we navigate Good Friday, there continues to be a theme of not really understanding things in totality. This is because the planet of communication, Mercury in Taurus, is forming a minor semi-square aspect to transiting Neptune and Jupiter in the sign of Pisces.
This particular energy is going to make communication somewhat unclear and difficult. In some cases, our communications, from talking to text messages, could be colored by Neptunian nebulousness and idealism that makes it difficult to express ourselves in a concrete, practical manner so desired by Mercury in Taurus.
This is just a heads up in case we find ourselves experiencing communication difficulties. We can blame it on the influence of Neptune/Pisces on the communication planet Mercury. Instead of trying to force conversations to get a point across that may not ultimately resonate, just chill out and enjoy the Good Friday vibes.
Remember the Reason for the Day
In all, this Good Friday possesses the energy of harmony, beauty, and camaraderie among everyone. Choose to seek good relations with all that we encounter. Although communication will be kind of iffy, it is important to understand that everyone has a perspective that can be considered…even if we don’t necessarily agree or understand it.
The energy of Mars in Pisces motivates us to seek what is spiritual, universal, and inclusive of all…even beyond the religious aspect of this day. It is quite interesting that there is a Neptunian/Pisces vibe highlighted on this Good Friday as the sign of Pisces is associated with Christianity. Consider the energy of Christ Consciousness where there is space and compassion available to everyone.
While this Good Friday may not be the best for making major decisions and lots of detailed communication, it is a good day for choosing the path of peace, harmony, balance, and holding compassion and empathy for ourselves and others.
Enjoy this Good Friday, everyone.
