We have too Uranus this month’s move into Gemini ushers in a wonderful new and powerful cycle of change in our lives. Uranus is a planet of wonder, so it can be difficult to determine what changes are taking place, but all of these changes are aimed at creating a truer and more authentic version of ourselves. If you need to remove some layers, remove some blocks, or become a more complete version of yourself, Uranus will be your rival and supportive partner. Pay attention to what the end of the month shows for you, here are some hints about what this new cycle may hold for you.
Let’s take a look at the main dates this month has to offer:
April 2: Libra full moon
The Libra Full Moon comes at the beginning of the month and focuses our attention on things we need to focus on. Jupiter, the planet of expansion, becomes active under this Full Moon, meaning things are put under the microscope so we can assess what actions need to be taken. We may also see some new information come to light that will change the decision we made earlier. The Libra Full Moon also asks us to bring balance to our lives, not just physically, but spiritually as well. How can we have a balanced approach to the things that consume our mental energy? How can we see things from other people’s perspective? Putting ourselves in other people’s shoes may also be necessary during this full moon.
April 9: Mars enters the fold of Aries
Mars returning to its ruling sign Aries means we feel its energy in full expression. We feel extra motivated, energized and ready to take action. Mars is a warrior who moves through life with strength, confidence and determination. We can all channel that energy where it is needed to move forward and take a bold leap of faith. However, Mars is also a planet of war, and transiting home can see violent events or passionate protests escalate around the world. As Mars moves into Aries, it also aligns with Neptune and Saturn, supercharging this alignment as well (more on that below).
April 12-20: Mars conjuncts Neptune and Saturn
When Mars enters Aries, it joins Saturn and Neptune, which are currently orbiting the first degrees. Saturn and Neptune in Aries is a powerful sign for creating and planting seeds. They both have powerful manifesting energies that can help guide us the way we want to go. If you want to dream, intend, or jump into new territory, Saturn and Neptune offer the perfect combination to help us. Saturn makes us work hard and Neptune helps us dream big! With big, hard-working dreams in mind, Mars acts as a fiery motivator to help us move and get things done. Both Saturn and Neptune encourage slow, methodical action, but Mars helps speed things up and is a good catalyst to push us out of our comfort zone. Some of the things we need to watch out for when Mars, Saturn, and Neptune conjoin in Aries include misinformation, conflict, and grandiose or false ideas that don’t reflect reality.
April 15: Mercury in Aries
Mercury decides to join the crew in Aries, adding to the intensity of the fiery energy we’re experiencing. If we need a little more fire in our lives, April is sure to provide it! With Mercury in Aries, our mental activity can accelerate, helping us make progress but also guiding us to leap before we look. A sense of balance will need to be found here. Mercury in Aries also helps us think about ourselves instead of others. What is good for us? What does it take for us to feel satisfied moving forward?
April 16: Sun conjunct Chiron
The Sun is conjunct Chiron, the asteroid of the wounded healer. This also happens in Aries, so expect spiritual insights and healing fast and fast! Cryon preparing to complete his journey Sheeptherefore, it may be a good time to reflect and learn some of your lessons about being wounded, healing, and stepping into your role as a wounded healer. What comes to mind when you think of a wounded healer? Chiron carries a deep wound of abandonment and tragedy, but it is precisely this challenge that has helped him to play the role of a wise teacher, spiritual and healer for others. We can all take pieces of the Chiron story and make them our own, especially as Chiron aligns with the Sun.
April 17: Aries New Moon
The Aries New Moon is the most powerful time for setting intentions, making plans and setting goals, and this year the cosmic heavens are aligned to support us in many ways! Of course, don’t miss the opportunity to set some intentions on this day. Send your requests to the universe and ask for guidance on the next steps, because you have a lot of cosmic help on your side! There is also a beautiful healing energy flowing from Chiron and this New Moon is extra supportive and healing. Believe in yourself, believe that you can achieve, and believe in the magic that the Universe has to offer. Things can work out in your favor.
April 20: Taurus season begins
If you feel like you could take a break from all the fiery energy that’s been flowing, you’re in luck, because today the Sun moves into more solid, grounded and stable Taurus. Since the previous weeks were probably very busy, charged, and action-packed, the shift into Taurus allows us to catch our breath and slow down. We may need to evaluate all the actions we take and even do damage control. It’s time to focus on what’s important rather than spreading ourselves too thin.
April 24: Venus enters Gemini
Venus, the planet of love, beauty and money, moves into Gemini, helping to brighten up our social life. Venus in Gemini is a great time to communicate, communicate and ask for what we want or when we need help. By voicing our opinions, we can make progress in areas where we struggle, so don’t be afraid to share, communicate, and ask around. Venus in Gemini is also a positive energy for solving problems with loved ones. If you need clarity, a journal can also provide additional support under this cosmic energy. Finally, Venus in Gemini is also a positive time to launch or seek funding or representation for communication-based projects like a podcast or book.
April 26: Uranus enters Gemini
Uranus’ transit into Gemini is one of the biggest events of the year, preparing us for a brand new cycle that will be with us for the next 7 years. Uranus moves into Gemini, illuminating a new area of our personal lives, bringing change, instability, and many awakenings. Uranus likes to shake things up, so it certainly helps to go with the flow, but remember, it only rattles so we can see what’s holding us back from being vulnerable and stepping into a truer, more authentic version of ourselves.
