Friday, April 1st - The first day of April starts off with a bang. The Capricorn moon makes five transits today, keeping very active before moving void of course at 12:39pm EST. This influx of lunar energy in the AM will make for a hectic feeling morning. It could be easy for many to withdraw or shut out the world around them. The moon squares Uranus and Mercury, trines the North Node, sextiles Chiron and Venus in that order. Today's energy is gentle and peaceful. Any direct action or impulsivity will likely not go over well. Feel out your surroundings and don't rush into anything. It is an excellent day for healing and meditation.
The moon exits its void at 9:37pm EST and enters Aquarius. Tonight brings surprises in the way of interesting conversation.

Saturday, April 2nd - The Aquarian moon sextiles Mars this morning and the Sun this evening. These are the only two aspects today, which allows for a nice bit of breathing room in an otherwise active weekend. Energy is up, and mental functions are sharpened. Keep your mind active in whatever way you prefer. Communication allows for ideas to take form. If you are trying to figure out information, talk it over with a friend today rather than dwelling on it alone.
Tonight, jovial energy takes hold. It's a social evening with an emphasis on the unexpected. Plans may shift and get shaken up. It is better to fly with the wind tonight and throw the rule book out completely. If you hold too tight to expectations, you may be disappointed (this goes for Cancer in particular).

Sunday, April 3rd - This morning, the moon soars through a sextile with Saturn and a sextile with Uranus. This is the day of sextiles, it would seem, as we later have a moon/Mercury sextile in the evening. Sextiles are positive transits that allow the intermingling planetary energies to work together in cooperation. This bodes well for teamwork and group projects that are underway today. Any large meetings or gatherings will likely bring positivity and excitement. The influence of Saturn and Uranus allow work to get done while still keeping things fun and interesting for those who are easily bored.
The moon is void of course at 7:16pm EST, which may make tonight a bit on the quieter side. Consider retiring early or doing something low key to make the most of the energy flow.

Monday, April 4th - The void ends at 1:46am EST as the moon shifts into Pisces. Intuition is heightened today, and it is easy to escape into a world of daydreams. The Sun and Jupiter are inconjunct today, which could result in an unpleasant reality check for some (mainly Aries and Virgo). Keep in mind that someone else's version of reality may not actually be so real! Don't lose sight of the things that are important to you, and others' pessimistic outlooks stem from their own perspective, rather than an objective truth.
The moon/Mars square this afternoon may serve as an energy drain for a lot of folks. Be careful not to overexert yourself and build up to any intense physical labor. Stretch first and drink a lot of water to insure you don't hurt yourself (even if you are typically physically fit!).
The moon and Neptune are conjunct this evening in the Neptune-ruled sign of Pisces, creating an intense imaginative and creative atmosphere. Many will be in touch with psychic abilities or will have vivid dreams tonight. It is an excellent evening for meditation.

Tuesday, April 5th - The moon opposes Jupiter, squares Saturn and sextiles Pluto - all before 6am EST! If you are sleeping during this time, you may experience internal blocks and fears playing out in your dreams. Take note of the things you dream about upon waking, and pay special attention to the way you reacted to them. These are symbolic of larger feelings dwelling in the subconscious, and by bringing awareness to them we can help release any hold they have over us.
The moon is void of course from 6:33am EST until early tomorrow morning. This does not mean we are free of transits for the rest of the day, though! The Sun trines Saturn today, which helps in making accomplishments in the world at large. This is a clear goal-setting transit that allows us to make progress towards the things we are hoping to bring into our lives. It may require some work on our parts, but the trine ensures that it will be a mostly pleasant experience.
Venus shifts into Aries today at 12:50pm EST. As with any Venus sign shift, this will bring changes into any romantic connections and partnerships (including close platonic friendships as well). Independence plays a larger role this month, with many partners working side by side on individual projects. Those that fight this energy and turn away from their own individual growth may experience discomfort in their relationships. Aries, Leo and Sagittarius (and those with their Venus in these signs) will get a romantic boost this month.
We also see communication shifting as Mercury enters Taurus tonight at 7:09pm EST. The speed and pace of our interactions slows down and focuses on what is tangible and possible. Business, career and any work related endeavors take off and receive grounding. Impulsive actions may be more challenging, so think ahead and plan out your moves rather than jumping into anything new.

Wednesday, April 6th - We exit the void at 2:46am EST as the moon enters Aries, starting a new lunar cycle. We are gearing up for the New Moon tomorrow morning, and so we may start to see shifts happening in our lives. Things that aren't working will begin falling away. This may seem unpleasant or surprising, even if they are situations we've been hoping for resolutions to for some time.
The moon is conjunct Venus today, providing a close connection to others. Romance and sensuality are heightened. The moon trines Mars, bringing in a boost of physical energy. Stay active today for the best results.
The Sun and Pluto are in square today, which can create issues with leadership and authority. Aries and Capricorn are caught in this aspect tug, which will heighten these problems for them. Jealousy may arise for some, or feelings of inadequacy or invisibility. It is best to not lash out. If you need to make your feelings heard, do so in a clear and constructive way and let logic lead you. Speaking too emotionally could have rash consequences.

Thursday, April 7th - The moon trines Saturn and squares Pluto before reaching its New Moon status at 6:24am EST. The Aries New Moon sets the stage for the year's overall energetic themes, and so it is important to begin clearing away the things you have outgrown. These may be actual tangible items such as clothing or things in your house, or they may be relationships, jobs and locations. Begin to take the steps necessary to line your current mindset up with your surroundings. The Aries energy helps those who help themselves.
The moon is conjunct Uranus before moving void of course at 10:56am EST, where it will stay until tomorrow. Newness is key today. Uranus brings in impulsive feelings, which should be weighed briefly before being acted upon. Today is actually a good day for shaking things up and crafting far-reaching changes, but it is important that they have a basis in your long-term reality and are not based upon fleeting feelings or urges.
