3rd April
Mercury into Taurus
Mercury, the planet of thinking and communication, information slows down a little bit in the sign of the bull. Mercury ruled things become more practical and stable such as the thinking process, that is down to earth, the speech and human interaction could be more business and less detail oriented and journeys, short trips could take you to either professional oriented trips or to the countryside. Focusing is on the tangible, actionable steps, organising things in the physical realm. The flow of information is more realistic, reliable and overall change of mind is less likely.
Mercury will be almost coming into conjunction with Uranus but will fully unite with the karmic North Node of the Moon, whilst will be going retrograde in April and May
5th April
Mercury sextile Saturn
During these couple of days the thinking process, communication and commuting is slow, well structured and disciplined. Therefore it makes an excellent time for business dealings, signing contracts, entering negotiations, laying out business plans.
Personal discussions also become more serious, structured and well organised. We can plan for long term since the information processing is reliable and realistic. There is a general respect for the agenda and routine, we tend to show up in time for all appointments, meeting and have a responsible attitude towards friends, siblings close relatives.
It is a good time to learn or test and are able to fulfil our responsibilities towards neighbours.
5th April
Mars sextile North Node
Mars is the planet of physicality, energy and enthusiasm. When meets the North Node of destiny Mars becomes an immensely powerful will with raw animalism even hedonism. In any action the courage is amplified, the will to fight or the irritability is taken to the next level. The timing of endeavours, movements, the effort and exertion is timed precisely, almost by divine will or destiny to cut through nonsense and bring about change. Things can become increasingly feisty and dynamic now and there will be no time to think twice. The actions are strongly driven by instinct and motivated by deep emotional connections. We could be inevitably bound to work on domestic issues that have material incentives.
On the negative side this could be a few days of a reckless action taking without any thoughts to morality driven by greed and insatiable hunger.
6th April
Mercury conjunct North Node
Bright ideas, could be the title of this post when Mercury the planet of knowledge, skills and education meets the demonic North Node of the Moon, who likes breaking the rules, being pretentious and is an obsessive outlaw. The karmic point, or Rahu as Vedic astrology prefers to refer to it is going to magnify Mercurian qualities in each and every one of us, but most likely Mercury ruled people are going to feel it more significantly. That is Gemini ♊️ and Virgo ♍️ with Sun, Moon and rising in the messenger planet's ruled sign.
This combination could be a good combination for great achievements, due to the practicality of the Taurean Mercury. The general knowledge especially about money and possessions could bring material results now. It boosts your mental capacity and gives a lot of potential and ambition in any field that requires your intellect. Your brilliant ideas now can gain support and learning opportunities materialise. You can be especially progressive and innovative. Your communication style can become very expressive and can win you an audience.
On the negative side don't get too obsessed about perfectionism and make sure lying, foolery and vengeance are not part of what you have got to say.
6th April
Full Moon in Libra
On the 6th of April 4:34 GMT a Full Moon occurs on the 16˚07' of Libra. Full Moons happens when the light of the moon grew to its maximum capacity due to the Moon opposing the Sun to the degree. These lunations happen every month but each time they take place in a different sign. The fullness of the light suggests things are coming to their climax point, projects to their full circle. It is manifestation time. Things won't grow any more.
7th April
Venus sextile Neptune
This is really the transit that can give you the rose coloured glasses and can take you to the moon and back. The planet of sweet love flowing harmoniously to the planet of dreams, unconditional love, art, glamour, spirituality. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus. So we can multiply the Venusian love, art, beauty, joy, pleasure and indulgence to a much higher level. Now this naturally can be a great place, where you have a day when you feel you can love ❤️ unconditionally, enjoy yourself as you were in heaven, indulge in sweetness, love, dance as mush as you like, shine with beauty & glamour, or get lost in art, poetry and spirituality. This is a day when it is very hard to stay with two foot on the ground and be realistic. Perhaps you just want to enjoy the moment, for what it is, appreciate art, or don't mind if you are overly fascinated by someone you really like, or love. You can stay in this state of mind as it might not harm you, as long as you have other scenarios that will keep up with the reality. If you can keep this in mind, nothing will harm you today, and you can enjoy all pleasures with beauty.
But keep in mind, that at a later point you will have to face the negative side of the things and the other side of the coins.
8th April
Mercury sextile Mars
Mercury the planet of communication coming into a flowing aspect with Mars means that you have lots of confidence, energy and enthusiasm when you speak during these couple of days.

Venus into Gemini
With Venus in Gemini you tend to enjoy being bubbly or even the role of social butterfly brings you pleasure. When it comes to romance you like to be fun and flirty and take the more lighthearted version of love as opposed to being dead serious. Intellect will be a charming aspect as well being sociable, knowing everything and everybody makes you feel totally irresistible. Your sex appeal is your communication skills and your curiosity. Adapting to any circumstances makes you feel irresistible when it comes to love. Art, beauty and money is connected to speech and skilfulness and of course multitasking, the very talent of Gemini. You appreciate variety in everything since one thing will not make you joyful: boredom. Venus in Gemini is the intellectual beauty archetype. It is time to show love through words and enjoy anything that has got an intellectual vibes. Learning, speaking, travelling.
If you are single is time to mingle. Speed dating in the neighbourhood can also be on your agenda. After all, research shows that you can decide in 5 seconds whether you like the person or not. You won't take it to heart if they swipe you left either. Variety is the spice of life and anyway it is time enjoy the good some spring -summer vibes. 🌞
11th April
Venus trine Pluto
The planet of love coming into a harmonious aspect with the planet of intensity. Venus the archetype of love, art, money, food and beauty just moved into Gemini where she is appreciating lighthearted flirts, socialising and learning. Her aspect to Pluto will bring an element of obsession into enjoying those Geminian themes. Venus most likely becomes very passionate in her expression of beauty through words, or learning about beauty. Strong feelings could be aroused towards local people you socialise or within an intellectual environment. There could be some intense sexual encounters in the neighbourhood that catches you off guard.
Investments through banks or other peoples money could be also in woven in the picture for the couple of days whilst this influence lasts.
14th April
Venus square Saturn
This is one of the most painful aspect there is. Venus the archetype of love, beauty, art and money coming into a tense aspect with rigid Saturn, the lord of karma, time, discipline, obstacles and delays. It is a depressing, sobering time. Love feels cold and unrequited. Even if in loving relationships those couple of days feel as your partner is withdrawn, rather critical and frozen towards you. You meet the reality of love, and if things were only good on the surface now it will become really challenging, can also break. If you try to open up to your partner this is really not the time. There is a fear lingering around and we rather withdraw from expressing warm emotions mostly because of negative attitude projected and experienced from the other half.
Financially this is also a challenging time, bringing obstacles and karmic debts to our reality that we have long forgotten about.
For some this could be a time of grieving.
It is good however to meet the reality of love, withdraw from time to time taking everything into account that must work in order to move forward with any relationship. So in that sense, this could be a good transit to rebalance karma in love and money matters.
Delays are not denials, for those who experience this aspect of this challenging transit. Often times there is a reason for it. Fulfilment can be even better than we thought it would have been once we waited our time patiently.
19th April
Saturn sextile North Node
The karmic North Node of the moon represents a path that we are drawn towards, feel passionate, almost obsessed about. Saturn the planet of limits and delays, well planned and founded structures coming into a flowing aspect with this point of destiny suggests that there will be some fated limits or obligations on the path that you are drawn. This might not be the greatest of experience however you are maturing and gaining a lot of wisdom whilst encountering challenging experiences. On another level it is a great time to work on future projects, meticulously carving your purpose , your path.
20th April
Solar eclipse in Aries ♈️
Solar eclipse happens when there is a new moon that is connected to the karmic nodes of the moon.
This is a hybrid eclipse and is the first eclipse in Aries before the North Node of the Moon is going to move into Aries. It is happening on the 29˚ Aries at 4 am 12min GMT. It is going to trigger all cardinal signs and the beginning of the fixed signs too.

20th April
Sun square Pluto
A crisis situation may occur during these couple of days connected to identity, ego or you can find yourself in conflict with powerful people, such as authority figures. Dark themes may emerge out of nowhere, subconscious fears surface now to the conscious reality.
Whatever comes up from the underworld that was buried deep down, it will feel intense and extreme. There could be dissatisfactions with self expression and personal achievement. Psychological issues, fears of death and transformation, hidden things, secrets may be illuminated. There will be a strong need to manage fears of being taken off guard and losing control.
Keep off form manipulating, possessive and jealous people and try to not get involved with power and control plays, although there could be a weird craving for showing your darker side now
20th April
Sun ingress Taurus
Sun ingress to Taurus comes when this year together with the Solar Eclipse on the same day actually if you live in Europe. Leaving behind the fast and the furious Aries energies Sun's ingress will be a very intense one with the Pluto square from Aquarius as well as the eclipse energies that usually bring about chaotic, unexpected changes. Taurus season will bring us a slow down and smell the roses energy and that's exactly what we need after the pivotal changes the cardinal and feisty Aries season brought upon us. With Sun in Taurus we don't usually begin a lot of new changes, instead we continue in a practical fashion what we began last month. We want the make more sense before we make a move, as per the motto of the bull. The seeds have already been planted, now we sit back and start benefiting with some of the early rewards. There will be a lot to do in the month of May. Rethink our finances and streamline our schedule before the greatest benefic, Jupiter will make its arrival, so we can take maximum benefit after the 16th of May on wealth, comfort and art. There will be surprises and fated karmic event upon Sun meeting Uranus and the North Node of the Moon as well as a Mercury casimi with divine messages from the cosmos.
Stop and grab the chance to enjoy some sensual pleasures. There will be plenty to do this season too.
21st April
Mercury retrograde in Taurus
Approximately 3 times yearly, Mercury, the planet associated with communication, information and trips, goes retrograde astrologically speaking. These three weeks denote a time when communication and travel mishaps are bound to happen. To be precise Mercury only appears to reverse in heavens. It is only our perception that the messenger planet moves backwards due to the relative position of the Earth, the Sun and Mercury. The smallest planet orbits the Sun closer than us, therefore its revolution gives us the illusion of backward motion. It is slightly similar to when a speeding car takes over another, from the faster one’s perspective the slower one appears to have changed direction. It is only an illusion, but a real phenomenon and as such it is gaining reputation for dooms and glooms, mishaps and confusion.
Mercury retrograde is blamed for everything
If you have a bad day when no-one seems to understand you- ‘Oh Mercury is retrograde’. Your car broke down on the motorway: ‘Ah, it is Mercury retrograde’s fault'. You sent that objectionable email to your boss inattentively: ‘Ah the darn thing has gone retrograde again’.
It is very human to find anything or anyone to blame when mini disasters happen to us, however the truth is: the stars don’t compel, but do impel us. In conclusion, we need to ride the waves according to the wind.
When Mercury goes retrograde in Taurus is a paramount time to examine your relationship to money, values and possessions. You might need to re-think and re-examine how you have spent your money, what is your connection to the material aspect of life? What is that you value? You need to re-focus on things that are bringing long-term values and flourish, nourish you materially as well as give you a feeling of safety, security. Your mind needs to be more practical and very business oriented. You might need to re-learn about nature, beauty, what you value, what gives you the feeling of comfort and security.
Mercury retrograde also urges you to reflect on your values. You may reallocate your finances and rethink your budget. Re-evaluate what you hold dear in your heart. Is your self worth in alignment with your value system? Do you compare yourself to others? Do you measure your success through earning potential or physical appearance? Perhaps the combination of these two? Revisiting these issues allows you to have a better sense of value that ties in with your ability to earn.
24th April
Mercury sextile Mars
Mercury the planet of communication coming into a flowing aspect with Mars means that you have lots of confidence, energy and enthusiasm when you speak during these couple of days. Your ability to process information speeds up and you express yourself in a direct manner. There is a flow in your physical and mental abilities which will allow to put your knowledge and skills to practice. You will have a lot done today that might have been neglected in the past.
With feeling so daring with high intellectual and physical attractiveness its a good time to socialise, flirt, ask someone out for date or be active in sports and leisure with friends, mates and colleagues.
24th April
Sun conjunct North Node
This aspect happens only once a year when the Sun meets the karmic North Node of the moon. On a global level this could mean that something fated happens to a public figure, a politician or an actor. On a personal level this union give our ego an extra boost and there will be plenty of positive vibes in the air. Sun 🌞 means warmth, joy and fun. The North node has a tendency to amplify everything that it touches. Hence this could be a day with not only plenty of pleasure but also your creative juices could be flowing with more divine inspiration and spontaneity.
In the fields of the Sun, acting, children, pedagogy, entertainment and hobbies something could materialise and have a fated feel to it as you were in the right place at the right time for the event to happen.
In vedic astrology however, the North Node is considered a demon who can be extremely ambitious to reach their goal, marching forward towards their desire not considering anything and anybody in their way. They could be selfish without any morals or ethics so watch out from this tendency as this is a new karma you creating and as such can come back an bite you on the butt.
The North Node can also bring in an element of foreign, unconventional and progressive or you may encounter people that are outcast or are from a different race.
25th April
Sun sextile Saturn
With both Sun and Saturn can represent authority figures, these couple of days could bring some meetings with bosses, superiors even the police, but with this flowing aspect it does not have to be a negative one. It brings about a sober, realistic attitude with a great sense of duty and work ethics. This is not the time to have fun and enjoy life. This aspect brings the hard working individual out of you who can and will accomplish something seriously great purely because of the determination you feel.
26th April
Mars sextile Uranus
For the next couple of days your will, desire and the way you take actions will have an element of uniqueness to it. You will have a desire to do something out of the ordinary, how you act could be surprising to you and the people around you. Since Mars is still in Cancer your steps are still motivated mainly by your emotions, but with the Uranus energy woven into it there will be unpredictability to it.
Mars symbolises, besides the above mentioned, your libido. Under this influence you may experiment with things that you have never tried before, you have the desire to try something new and break away from the traditions.
