Monday 04/01

• ☽ at 07° 35‘ Capricorn ✳ ♂︎  at 07° 35‘ Pisces | 1:48 pm eastern
• ☿ ▻ ℞ at 27° 13‘ Aries | 6:14 pm eastern
•  ☿ ▻ Direct at 15° 58‘ Aries on April 25, 2024  
• 🌗 Waning Quarter Moon | 11:14 pm eastern

Monday should be productive(ish). There’s a push for practical actions and decisions, informed by a deeper sense of purpose and broader understanding.

However, Mercury stations retrograde at 6:14 pm eastern and that means today is likely to be full of retrograde themes.

Anticipate shifts that demand reevaluation of recent decisions and communications.

Mercury retrograde in Aries signals a time to revisit and refine the way you approach communication and decision-making. This transit encourages a pause in the forward momentum, offering a chance to reconsider your strategies and the assertiveness of your actions. 

It's a great time to question whether your current methods of expressing yourself and taking action align with your goals and values. 

Miscommunications may surface, prompting a deeper look into how your words and ideas are received by others. The retrograde phase is not merely about obstacles but about finding clarity and adjusting your approach to be more effective once Mercury goes direct.

Wednesday 04/03

• ☽ at 27° 07‘ Capricorn □ ☿  at 27° 07‘ Aries | 12:11 am eastern
• ☽ at 27° 34‘ Capricorn ✳ ♀︎  at 27° 34‘ Pisces | 12:57 am eastern

• ☽ ☌ ♇ at 01° 54‘ Aquarius  | 8:23 am eastern
• ♀︎ ☌ ♆ at 28° 00‘ Pisces | 9:10 am eastern

Wednesday you might feel like you're navigating through a fog with a compass that's acting up. The usual clarity in decision-making might be clouded, urging a bit more caution than usual. 

BUT there's a strong undercurrent pulling you towards deeply resonant ideas or connections, almost as if you're being guided by fate. Let intuition have a say in your choices today—it could lead to profound insights or connections that are more magical.

Thursday 04/04

• ☽ at 15° 09‘ Aquarius ✳ ☉ at 15° 09‘ Aries | 6:44 am eastern
• ☽ at 18° 08‘ Aquarius □ ♃ at 18° 08‘ Taurus  | 11:43 am eastern
• ☽ at 20° 58‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 20° 58‘ Taurus | 4:24 pm eastern

Thursday there’s a lot of energy available to go after personal goals or inspire new ideas. 

But that could also show up as unexpected challenges or tension between doing what’s expected and what feels inspiring. Lean in to adaptability to find ways to innovate while navigating surprises.

Think of today as a chance to stretch your problem solving muscles.

Friday 04/05

• ♀︎  ▻ Aries | 12:00 am eastern
• ☽ at 26° 36‘ Aquarius ✳ ☿ at 26° 36‘ Aries | 1:39 am eastern
• ☽ V/C | 1:39 - 7:12 am eastern
• ☽ ▻ Pisces | 7:12 am eastern
• 🌘 Waning Crescent Moon | 9:13 am eastern

Friday there is an amping up of the Aries energy as Venus storms in that will include taking bold steps in relationships and creative endeavors, sparking a desire to initiate and invigorate.

Fortunately, the Moon’s splashing into Pisces invites a softening of the emotional landscape, encouraging introspection and a deeper connection to intuition amidst the increasing frenzy happening in Aries.

With Venus in Aries, where she is in detriment, the pursuit of love, beauty, and what we value undergoes a fiery transformation. This placement challenges the traditional Venusian qualities, pushing for a more assertive yet potentially impetuous approach in relationships and financial matters. 

While it energizes and encourages boldness in pursuing desires, the impulsive nature of Aries can sometimes disrupt the harmony and balance typically associated with Venus. Balancing this assertiveness with sensitivity and patience becomes crucial for navigating this period effectively, especially in personal interactions and financial decisions.
