[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of April 28 - May 4

This is a big week. The first three (ish) days are following a serious New Moon in Taurus with Venus moving away from Saturn and the North Node in her sign of exaltation - that’s astro nerd for this is a great time to be planting and tending those seeds. 

Monday 04/28

• ☽ ☌ ♅ at 26° 12‘ Taurus | 8:33 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 27° 39‘ Taurus ✳ ♄ at 27° 39‘ Pisces | 10:51 PM Eastern

Monday has a few surprises that shake up the usual rhythm, but there’s enough steadiness underneath to keep things from going completely off course. 

Plans may need quick adjustments, but the important stuff has a way of holding firm. It’s a strange mix of sudden shifts and slow, steady progress.

• Best for: quick adjustments, steady progress on long-term goals
• Potential Challenges: reacting too fast, losing focus after disruptions

Tuesday 04/29

• ☽ at 29° 11‘ Taurus ✳ ♀︎ at 29° 11‘ Pisces | 1:17 AM Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 1:17 - 2:34 AM Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Gemini | 2:34 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 02‘ Gemini ✳ ♆ at 01° 02‘ Aries | 4:14 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 48‘ Gemini △ ♇ at 03° 48‘ Aquarius | 8:38 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 04° 57‘ Gemini ✳ ♂︎ at 04° 57‘ Leo | 10:28 AM Eastern

Tuesday the pace speeds up and sudden moments of clarity could hit harder than expected. There’s a lot happening under the surface that could shift things with very little warning.

Conversation and taking action are easy, but staying anchored to anything for long might feel harder than usual.

• Best for: quick decisions, strong conversations, spotting new openings
• Potential Challenges: moving faster than necessary, missing hidden shifts, overcommitting without thinking

Wednesday 04/30

• ☽ at 14° 29‘ Gemini ✳ ☿ at 14° 29‘ Aries | 1:50 AM Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♃ at 21° 18‘ Gemini | 12:58 PM Eastern
• ♀︎ ▻ Aries | 1:15 PM Eastern
• 🌒 Waxing Crescent Moon | 8:32 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 27° 51‘ Gemini □ ♄ at 27° 51‘ Pisces | 11:48 PM Eastern
• ☽ V/C  | 11:48 PM Eastern

Wednesday morning moves easily, with conversations flowing and a sense of possibilities opening up. 

As Venus moves into Aries at 1:15 pm eastern, the tone sharpens and there’s a sudden push to act faster, want more, and chase what looks exciting. 

This shift is followed by tension building between wanting quick answers and facing slow, frustrating delays (or realities) that refuse to be rushed.

• Best for: quick conversations, new opportunities, motivation
• Potential Challenges: rushing decisions, frustration with delays, overcommitting early

Back to Venus in her Aries gown.

Until May 16th she’s cleaning up retrograde business. But in general…

Desire moves fast and connections turn bold, with little patience for slow buildups. 

Women, pleasure, beauty, and agreements all have a sharper edge, favoring quick moves and clear signals over subtlety.

• Best for: bold pursuits, fast attraction, direct agreements
• Potential Challenges: impatience in connection, rushed decisions, fleeting interest

If you’re curious about where this is showing up for you - I have that available inside The Crusade. While you’re there I’ll also teach you how to take up all of the Venus in Aries space and calm down what might feel like out of control emotional reactions with two life changing techniques. 

Thursday 05/01

• ☽ V/C | 3:22 AM Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Cancer | 3:22 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 00° 20‘ Cancer □ ♀︎ at 00° 20‘ Aries | 3:57 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 06‘ Cancer □ ♆ at 01° 06‘ Aries | 5:14 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 12° 00‘ Cancer ✳ ☉ at 12° 00‘  Taurus  | 11:45 PM Eastern

Thursday it could be a lot easier to take things personally, regardless of the intention of others. Feelings can twist small moments into bigger stories without much effort. 

Fortunately, there’s still enough steadiness underneath to support conversations, practical work, and light creative thinking.

• Best for: light conversations, steady practical work, creative daydreaming
• Potential Challenges: emotional misunderstandings, taking small slights personally, doubting intentions

Friday 05/02

• ☽ at 17° 41‘ Cancer □  ☿ at 17° 41‘ Aries | 9:37 AM Eastern
• ♀︎ ☌ ♆ at 01° 08‘ Aries | 1:06 PM Eastern

Friday you could swing between wanting comfort and chasing after something new that isn’t fully clear yet. Underneath it all, there’s a bigger pull to dream differently and take the first steps towards something new.

• Best for: creative beginnings, artistic expression, exploring bold new ideas, new love stories
• Potential Challenges: misunderstanding intentions, chasing something without clear direction, scattered conversations

Saturday 05/03

• ☽ at 26° 26‘ Cancer ✳ ♅ at 26° 26‘ Taurus | 1:05 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 28° 04‘ Cancer  △ ♄ at 28° 04‘ Pisces | 4:02 AM Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 4:02 AM - 7:29 AM Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Leo | 7:29 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 10‘ Leo  △ ♆ at 01° 10‘ Aries | 9:36 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 41‘ Leo △ ♀︎ at 01° 41‘ Aries | 10:32 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 49‘ Leo  ☍ ♇ at 03° 49‘ Aquarius | 2:24 PM Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♂︎ at 06° 59‘ Leo | 8:12 PM Eastern

Saturday big feelings come up fast, and it’s easier to act on them without second-guessing. 

Inspiration and bold moves feel natural, but strong reactions can turn small things into bigger struggles if they get pushed too far. 

There’s a LOT of fire behind what people want and how quickly they try to get it.

• Best for: bold action, creative risks, passionate conversations
• Potential Challenges: overreacting to pressure, pushing too hard, escalating situations

Sunday 05/04

• 🌓 First Quarter Moon | 9:51 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 14° 21‘ Leo  □ ☉ at 14° 21‘ Taurus | 9:51 AM Eastern
• ♇ ▻ ℞ at 03° 49‘ Aquarius |11:27 AM Eastern
• ♇ ▻ Direct at 01° 22‘ Aquarius on October 13, 2025
• ☽ at 21° 26‘ Leo △ ☿ at 21° 26‘ Aries |11:13 PM Eastern

Sunday tension hangs in the air and it’s easy for pride to get in the way of simple fixes.

Even with some stubborn moments, it feels easier to say what you mean and make quick decisions when you need to. Bigger changes are still moving underneath everything, but they aren't fully clear yet.

• Best for: clear conversations, fast decisions, catching early signs of bigger shifts
• Potential Challenges: digging in over small things, reacting defensively, ignoring slower changes in the background

Part of the reason for the vibe of today is Pluto stationing retrograde at 03° 49‘ Aquarius.

Long-term pressure starts pulling inward, turning big changes into slower, less visible shifts. The urge to push forward doesn't disappear, but the work moves behind the scenes instead of happening out in the open.

• Best for: reviewing goals, watching hidden shifts, adjusting long-term plans
• Potential Challenges: feeling stuck, missing subtle warning signs, holding onto old patterns too tightly
