We are now in the midst of a Mercury Rx in Aries - from March 22 to April 15. Most of you are familiar with the Mercury Rx effects on travel and communications - probably not the best time for me to send out a newsletter :( , but hopefully it will arrive safely in your email.
从3月22日到4月15日，水星逆行于白羊座。你们大多数人都熟悉水星对旅行和通讯的影响——可能不是我发信息的最佳时间，但希望它能安全抵达你们那里。
Uranus in Taurus
The financial cycle in astrology is reflected in the Saturn/Pluto cycle. The most recent cycle began in 1982 with Saturn conjunct Pluto in Libra and will end with the next Saturn conjunct Pluto in the sign of Capricorn in 2020 and will also begin a new cycle. In addition, Uranus is moving into Taurus (resources) on May 15 2018. It will dip back into Aries for a short period, but then enter Taurus again for about 7 years. Uranus can be a bit like a roller-coaster ride: you're up one moment and down the next, (if you're invested in the stock market this will already sound familiar) so it is a time to be a bit more conservative in the area of resources and be careful about taking too much risk unless you enjoy the thrills. The financial areas (as well as large corporations and big government ruled by Capricorn) can be a bit choppy for the next few years.
天王星在金牛座
占星术中的金融周期反映在土星/冥王星周期中。最近的一次循环始于1982，土星合冥王于天秤座，将在2020年底与下一个摩羯座的土星合冥王结束，并将开始一个新的周期。此外，天王星在今年5月15日进入金牛座（代表资源）。它会在短时间内回到白羊座，接着进入金牛座停留大约7年。天王星可能有点像过山车：你一刻上天接着下一刻入地（如果你在股市投资，这听起来已经很熟悉），所以现在是在资源方面更保守一点的时候了，小心冒险太多，除非你喜欢刺激。金融领域（以及大公司和大政府统治下的摩羯座）在未来几年可能会有巨大波动。
Lunar Gardening
It's that time again! Humans have been using astrology in farming for thousands of years. Ancient gardeners used the changing shape of the Moon as timing for the best moments to plant and harvest their crops. These ancient cultures believed that if the Moon was increasing in size, then planting at that time meant crops would also increase.
As we moved into the scientific era, this type of farming was scorned as superstitious and referred to as "sympathetic magic," but the belief and practice has continued to persist through thousands of years.
根据阴历的园艺种植
又是时候了！几千年来人类一直在使用占星术，古代的园丁们利用月亮形状的变化，来安排种植和收获庄稼的最佳时机。这些古老的文化认为，如果月亮的面积在变大，那么那时的种植意味着庄稼也会增加。
当我们进入科学时代的时候，这种耕作被认为是迷信的，被称为“共情魔法”，但是人类的这种信仰和实践持续了数千年。
Lunar gardening assumes that just as the Moon's gravitational pull results in the ocean's tides, anything composed of water is subtly affected by the changing phases of the Moon. This means that the water and moisture in plants and soil rise and fall, depending on the position and phase of the moon. This phenomenon is also thought to influence the reproductive cycle in animals as well as the menstruation cycle in females.
阴历种植认为，正如月球引力引起海洋潮汐一样，任何由水组成的东西都会受到月球变化阶段的微妙影响。植物和土壤的水分和湿度会上升和下降，取决于月亮的位置和相位。这种现象也被认为影响动物的生殖周期以及女性的月经周期。
If you wish to garden with the moon you need to be aware of two lunar cycles:
The Synodic cycle that divides the lunar cycle into two phases (or four quarters) from waning to waxing and back to waning; and the Sidereal cycle that follows the movement of the Moon through the 12 signs of the zodiac during the month.
The general rule using the Synodic cycle is that you plant during the waxing of the moon - as it goes from the New Moon to the Full Moon. When the Moon is waning - going from the Full Moon to the New Moon - you would harvest and complete other tasks associated with the garden.
如果你想和月亮一起耕种，你需要意识到两个月亮周期：
朔望周期，将月球周期分为两个阶段（或四季度）逐渐变化为朔月或望月；而恒星周期，是跟月亮在每个月的移动通过12星座而来。
使用朔望周期一般的规则是，你站在月亮从新月到满月前开拓播种；当月亮在减弱——从满月到新月——你将收获并完成与花园相关的其他任务。
The Sidereal cycle charts the Moon's transit across the backdrop of the fixed stars (the 12 zodiac signs) each month. These 12 signs are divided into the 4 elements: Earth and Water (feminine signs) and Fire and Air (masculine signs). The Earth element (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) and Water element (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) have moist, cool and fertile characteristics. The best time to plant is when the Moon transits an Earth or Water sign.
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) and Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) have hot, dry characteristics and when the Moon is in one of these signs you should harvest your crops or perform regular gardening maintenance but Fire and Air are not the best times for planting.
恒星周期图标出月亮每个月穿越恒星背景（12星座）。这12个符号分为4个元素：土相和水相（阴性符号）和火相和气相（阳性）。土元素（金牛、处女、摩羯）和水元素（巨蟹、天蝎座、双鱼座），具有湿润、凉爽和肥沃的特性。种植的最佳时间是月亮过境地球或水象星座时。
火元素（白羊座，狮子座，人马座）和空气（双子座，天秤座，水瓶座）有炎热、干燥的特点，当月亮在这些迹象之一，你应该收获你的作物或定期园艺维护，但火和空气不是最佳的种植时间。
Many calendars show the phases of the Moon but you may have to search online for the zodiac sign of the Moon on any given day.
I have been gardening for almost 50 years. During that time, when possible, I have tried to plant during the waxing phase of the Moon but I have almost always planted when the Moon was in an Earth or Water sign. I've acquired the reputation among friends and family as having a green thumb, but I think a large part of that is my honoring the lunar cycle.
许多时间历显示了月亮的各个阶段，你可能必须在网上搜索月亮在黄道十二宫的日子。
我从事园艺种植工作将近50年了。在此期间，如果可能的话，我会在月亮上玄阶段种植，但我几乎总是在月亮处于土相或水象星座时播种。我在朋友圈和家人那里获得了园艺达人的称号，但我认为很大一部分是由于我对月球循环的尊敬。
