April 15 - 21

 

Monday, April 15th ~ On Monday, April 15th, Mercury retrogrades back into a conjunction with Chiron in the sign of Aries at 11:22am EST. This marks the second of three Mercury/Chiron conjunctions occurring over a two-month period due to Mercury's retrograde motion. This transit brings a healing quality to our communication, allowing the potential for resolution and transformation through dialogue. By revisiting past conversations or revising our thought patterns, we have the opportunity to address and alleviate harmful or negative thinking tendencies. As a result, we experience a greater sense of self-compassion and understanding. This conjunction encourages us to be more accepting of both our own perspectives and those of others. Since Mercury is currently retrograde, this alignment can prompt more introspection and inward lessons.

Wednesday, April 17th ~ On Wednesday, April 17th, at 2:45pm EST, Venus conjuncts the North Node of the Moon in the sign of Aries, marking a pivotal moment in our relationships and personal growth. This transit signals the emergence of a new path in our lives, particularly in connection to significant relationships or friendships. This week is important for forging new connections and witnessing shifts within existing relationships. Pay close attention to individuals who play prominent roles in your life today, as well as those occupying your thoughts. It may require a leap of faith to explore the opportunities that these connections create, but doing so could bring enrichment and personal evolution.

Friday, April 19th ~ Happy Taurus Season! Friday, April 19th, is a celestially active day. We kick off the day with Mercury conjuncting Venus in Aries at 4:59am EST, a transit whose effects linger throughout the day. This alignment encourages smoother and more pleasant communication, making it easier to express our affection for others. We can also find more creative inspiration coming through. Then, at 9:59am EST, the Sun transitions into Taurus, officially kicking off Taurus Season. As the sign of fixed earth, Taurus brings a grounded and steady energy, ideal for immersing ourselves in our endeavors and embracing consistency. It's a perfect time to reconnect with nature and savor the sensory delights of the season.

Later in the day, Mars forms sextiles with Jupiter at 11:28am EST and Uranus at 7:55pm EST. With Jupiter and Uranus on the brink of a conjunction in Taurus, the intensity of this energy becomes palpable. Mars' interaction with these planets amplifies impulsive tendencies and injects a surge of physical energy into our lives. We could feel restless, bouncy, and driven to initiate changes. Some may find it hard to hold back or exercise any restraint.

Saturday, April 20th ~ On Saturday, April 20th at 10:27pm EST, Jupiter and Uranus converge in a powerful conjunction in the sign of Taurus. This celestial event marks one of the most significant transits of the season, its influence building over the past 10 days and set to continue for the next 10 or so days. Jupiter, the planet of luck, expansion, and adventure, joins forces with Uranus, the harbinger of change, eccentricity, and innovation.

While these two planets align roughly every 14 years, their meeting in the sign of Taurus holds particular significance, as it hasn't occurred since 1941. Taurus, associated with material wealth, possessions, and the economy, sets the stage for profound shifts in financial and technological realms. This conjunction is poised to catalyze major disruptions in the financial sector, potentially reshaping the landscape of tech and cryptocurrency.

Expect abundant opportunities to emerge, driven by Jupiter's expansive energy and characterized by Uranus's penchant for the unexpected. Be prepared for career pivots or newfound avenues for income generation, some of which arise from unconventional sources. This conjunction can also spark advancements in environmental conservation, encouraging initiatives to safeguard the Earth's precious resources and promote sustainability in product development.

Sunday, April 21st ~ On Sunday, April 21st, two significant transits shape the celestial landscape. The first occurs at 7:48am EST as Venus conjuncts Chiron in the assertive sign of Aries. This conjunction offers profound opportunities for healing within our relationships. It invites us to confront our insecurities and address lingering wounds from past hurts. Through authentic connections with loved ones, we embark on a journey of growth and evolution, allowing for deeper bonds and increased emotional resilience. Additionally, this alignment sparks creative inspiration, paving the way for cathartic artistic endeavors.

Later in the day, at 1:01pm EST, the Sun forms a fixed square with Pluto, intensifying the cosmic energy. This challenging aspect can manifest as obstacles or power struggles, testing our resolve and determination. However, these trials serve as catalysts for personal growth and empowerment, urging us to tap into our inner strength and resilience. Embrace these challenges as opportunities to fortify your willpower and overcome adversity, emerging stronger and more resilient than before.
