~Monday April 21st through Sunday April 27th~ 

 

***All Times are Eastern Daylight Savings Time***

 

 

This is an intense week of Astrology- starting from Sunday April 20th with the Sun/Mars square, to the Sun/Pluto square this week Wednesday the 23rd, the Mars/Pluto opposition on Saturday the 26th and the New Moon in T-square with Mars/Pluto on Sunday the 27th- there is a lot going on all week long.

Be extra conscious of power struggles, power dynamics, exacerbation of ego and will energies and more. With the Fixed Signs activated- resistance to change will not be useful. Digging heels in and refusing transformation will make the week more intense :-0

Also with Taurus in focus there can be things going on with finances, the financial world, the food supply and this is also earth event kind of territory (earth quakes, volcanic eruptions, etc…). Be aware and navigate with extra care this week. Pause, count to 10 before you react so that you can find a place of response. If all else fails- avoid conversations with explosive, emotionally dysregulated people until after this astrology blows over. If you are the explosive, emotionally dysregulated person- then get some shadow work/therapy support for working with emotions skillfully <3

 

Monday April 21st-
There are no major transits today.

 

Tuesday April 22nd-
There are no major transits today.

 

Wednesday April 23rd-
At 1:10pm the Sun in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius- creating tension between the Conscious Self and ego and the Lord of Death & Rebirth. Sun/Pluto can exacerbate power struggles particularly around money or in friendships and social circles. At its best Sun/Pluto shows us what needs to transform and where our resistance and/or digging in our heels refusing to change is really not serving us. At its worst this exacerbates shadow and power/control dynamics in intense ways.

 

Thursday April 24th-
At 8:02pm Venus cojoins Saturn at 27’13 Pisces- linking the Goddess of Love and Beauty with the Lord of Karma and Father of Time. Venus conjunct Saturn starts a new Venus/Saturn cycle which can last from 9-14 months. It’s an important time to be intentional with what we are committing to or committed to. Venus is about relationship but also money, values, self-worth and self-Love. Saturn is the Great Pruning Shears and he comes into to cut the weeds out of our lives but also strengthen the foundations beneath things/relationships/situations that are solid and enduring and can help us grow. Seeing what of the old needs to go (people/things/attitudes/beliefs) and what can stay and be built upon for further growth is key. With Venus in Pisces we may be asked to set some boundaries in the name of Love. We also may have reality checks around our dreams and ideals- showing us which are realistic and which are not. Having the rose colored glasses off so we can be discerning is key right now. This is the 3rd and final conjunction- the first was on 1/18 at 16’05 Pisces- so both Venus and Saturn have seeded a new cycle 11 degrees later- just past the degree of Venus’ Exaltation (her Exaltation Degree is 27- technically 27’13 Pisces rounds up to 28).

 

Friday April 25th-
There are no major transits today.

 

Saturday April 26th-
At 9:05pm Mars in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius (3’48 Leo/Aquarius respectively) – creating major tension between the lower will and Higher Will. This is the 3rd and final Mars/Pluto opposition due to Mars’ recent Retrograde journey (the first was 11/3 with Mars at 29 Cancer and Pluto at 29 Capricorn, the 2nd was on 1/3 with Mars at 1’08 Leo/Pluto 1’08 Aquarius). The Highest expression of Mars/Pluto is having the lower will be in service to the Higher Will. Yet the opposition can create conflict with others- others in our personal lives and others collectively in the form of other races, religions, countries and more. This is NOT a time to take action from a lower ego place or from a place of subjectivity, emotionality and unresolved wounding from childhood. Doing this can create serious karmic consequences. Power/over and power/under dynamics can unfold right now. Don’t be a manipulator and dominator and don’t allow others to manipulate or dominate you either. Channel the Higher side of this energy and focus this force within in the from of self-confrontation and transformation! With Mars in Leo we can be dealing with things in romantic relationships, relationships with kids and our own ego energies (either too much ego/narcissism, or too little ego and no boundaries). With Pluto in Aquarius we can find that friendships, groups we are a part of and social circles are in the spotlight. Overall Mars/Pluto is a journey of right use of power. If you find yourself giving away your power and being a victim or lord your power over others and being a tyrant- opportunities to deal with use/misuse of power present themselves today. Use the astrology wisely!!!

 

Sunday April 27th-
The New Moon at 7’47 Taurus is exact at 3:31pm EDT- commencing a new Lunar Cycle that is focused on money, finances, abundance, material reality, values, self worth and self Love. This New Moon is in a separating square to the Mars/Pluto opposition that was exact yesterday and that the Sun triggered from 4/20-23. Power struggles and intensity are possible- but so too is something new being born out of the death and rebirth process that Mars and Pluto have had us going through since November 2024. This New Moon semisquares both Jupiter and the North Node- as Jupiter and the Nodes head to square each other on 5/15. Turning Points are on offer! Something new wants to come in and through!  More info on this Lunation will be posted in a Lunar Insight by 4/22, Lunar Gate Call by 4/23 or 24 and Lunar Horoscopes on 4/27.

 

Have a blessed week…
