April 14th-21st

The conjunction we’ve all been waiting for occurs this week and we will have some goading or urging from Mars in Pisces before Uranus and Jupiter conjunct in Taurus this weekend. 

April 15

Mercury RX conjunct Chiron in Aries at 19 (almost 20) degrees) Mercury and Chiron met about a month ago, March 19th to be exact. There could be an echo back from that time. Is there something that needs to be reframed, reconsidered, restated, reorganized? Remember that Aries is a cardinal fire sign. Cardinality is great for getting the ball rolling, but the energy is meant to be delegated. Think of a lit match. It can’t stay burning forever. So, if you’re feeling burnt out, what do you want to do about it?

Moon moves into Leo at 10:23 PM EST

April 17

Venus conjuncts the North Node in Aries at 15 degrees- Are we being stretched to think in new ways? Maybe to think of self over others? How does that make you feel? Uncomfortable? A little unsettled? The North Node often suggests a hunger, so we may want more 1:1 time in a relationship and forgo the social scene.

Moon moves into Virgo at 10:10 am EST

April 19

Venus conjuncts Mercury RX in Aries at 17 degrees- Our relationships could have been taking one on the chin because Venus has been in a sign where she may crave some more alone or “me” time. This could be a time when you and your partner discuss what’s working and what isn’t. What can be tweaked or finessed a little differently? It could be hard to compromise, but ask yourself what’s worth it in the long run.  

Sun Moves into Taurus- It’s time to slow down and enjoy life. Think of coming home after a tough day and how good it feels to close the front door of your home. Maybe you cook a yummy meal, take a long bath, do some gardening, and/or enjoy time with loved ones. Taurus is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. We focus on the sensual and the substantive. We may even look into our resources. Are you thinking of doing a home project? Something that makes the home even more peaceful and/or sumptuous. It doesn’t have to be uber-expensive, but it does have to be of good quality. 

Mars in Pisces Sextile Jupiter in Taurus at 21 degrees 30 minutes- this aspect could make you feel like you have the support to take a risk. Good fortune. Putting in the effort will not be a waste. A friend or a mentor might urge you forward and you feel you can do it because you have their encouragement. *I wrote out the minutes for this aspect and the next so you can see how close these aspects are to each other and it could be energy that is hard to tease apart. 

Mars in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus at 21 degrees 46 minutes- This is dynamic and bold energy. You’re encouraged to follow your passion. Sudden insight or an “aha” moment is available. 

April 20

Jupiter conjuncts Uranus in Taurus at 21 degrees 50 minutes- this is an aspect, if you’ve been following astrology, everyone has been talking about. It’s about change, excitement, innovation, rebellion, new horizons, brand-new beginnings, freedom, and independence. Now, how do you feel about change? Is that exciting or do you dread that? Have you been hanging on to someone or something because that’s all you’ve known and there’s fear of what will happen if something changes? How can you embrace the expansive energy that is on tap? Opportunity is knocking, will you answer the door?

Moon moves into Libra at 11:08 pm EST

April 21

Venus conjuncts Chiron in Aries at 20 degrees- How can we explore catharsis in relationships? What is worth healing? Do we expect others to behave a certain way that doesn’t allow them their independence? How can we embrace cleaning up our side of the road?

Sun in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius at 2 degrees- If you had to describe willpower, what words would you use? How would you tease apart “will” and “power”? Words like: discipline, resolution, determination, strength, self-mastery, self-restraint, and tenacity are some words that come to mind. This feels like two immovable forces duking it out in some way. Since it’s a square we know there is friction and stress. You could become aware of a depletion in some sense. We may not feel so vital or powerful and this transit could help you ascertain where the energy leak is coming from and help you decide what you want to do about it.  

**My intention with these weekly astrology reports is something like looking at a weather app. If you know it will rain, you’ll bring an umbrella. Awareness can help us navigate the Astro “weather” too. I  hope to share this information in an easily digestible way (not too much jargon).  Please read this information knowing that these energies can appear in higher or lower forms.
