What to Expect Astrologically in April 2024
April 1st: Mercury Retrograde
A Time To Regain Lost Opportunities
It’s that time of year again. Yes, that’s right, Mercury, the cosmic trickster, is turning retrograde at 27°13 Aries. Typically, communication tends to go haywire, travel plans sometimes hit snags, and misunderstandings occur.
However, Mercury retrogrades are not to be feared, as it’s just a shift between the two modes of thinking of the left and right brain. Instead of focusing on the typical dramas and frustrations, use this period as a mental timeout and use your imagination to call back any lost rewards or opportunities that were previously blocked.
April 5th: Venus Enters Aries
Finding Your Passion For Spiritual Growth
On April 5th, Venus enters bold Aries, signaling a time when the heart broadcasts love, vibrant energy, and assertiveness. This transit ignites passion, yet there is a tendency to be self-serving since Venus finds it challenging here.
Therefore, it’s important to be mindful of how you treat others, especially with an eclipse coming. It’s like that old saying, “Do unto others as you would want them done to you.” Well, that’s the current energy, and since Venus sparks this radical shift of the heart, it’s essential to find common ground with your needs and others.
This fast-paced energy can lead to sudden changes and a lack of stability. So, staying grounded and cultivating patience will soothe and temper the intensity. Since Venus governs matters of love, relationships, the arts, aesthetics, finances, and self-worth, you can expect Venus in Aries to bring action, courage, change, and leadership to those areas.
April 8th: Solar Eclipse in Aries
The Gateway to a More Calmer, Creative, Spiritual Life
On April 8th, at 2:22 pm EST, a total solar eclipse arrives at 19° 24′ Aries. This marks the start of something fresh, new, and exciting. Our reset button or perhaps a Universal shake-up. During this time, the Sun and the Moon align, signaling us to take stock of our lives and make adjustments. And with Mercury retrograde, you can think of it as a cosmic refresh of your inner operating system and entire life.
The eclipse wants us to embrace individuality and assert our desires with confidence. This is a time to break free from limitations, assert autonomy, and pursue passions with determination. Just as the ram fearlessly charges ahead, you are to push past obstacles and charge fearlessly ahead.
So, pay attention to those gut feelings- they’re trying to tell you something important. Whether it’s a career move, a relationship decision, or a personal goal, trust that inner voice to lead you in the right direction.
Themes to expect from this eclipse:
- Protection and security
- Forgiveness and reconciliation
- Healing and success in relationships
- The ability to transform negative energy
- Political and social issues, disorders, or difficulties on an organizational level
April 10th: Mars-Saturn Conjunction
The Refinement of Character
Mars meets Saturn in Pisces, and you can think of this as action and assertiveness, meeting discipline and structure in the mystical dimension of Pisces. This influence encourages us to confront our fears and limitations to gain an understanding of the negative impressions recorded in the body that need to change.
It can bring a sense of tension and pressure, as Mars urges us to take action while Saturn imposes restrictions and demands accountability. This can manifest as frustration or a feeling of being held back by external circumstances. To effectively harness the beneficial energies of this union, it’s essential to adopt a strategic approach that balances assertiveness with patience and discipline with compassion.
Establish healthy boundaries and assert yourself in situations where you previously felt vulnerable or exposed.
April 11: Mercury Cazimi
The Doorway to Human Togetherness & Cooperation
On April 11th, Mercury aligns closely with the Sun, known as cazimi, at 22°32 Aries. You can expect this energy to bring a boost of mental clarity, heightened communication, and psychic abilities. Despite what may seem like minor challenges, we’ll experience significant breakthroughs in understanding hidden truths and resolving deep-seated issues.
Be prepared for a flood of new information and revelations. Ground yourself against any nervousness or restless energy. Lean into learning how to listen, decipher which voice is your intuition, and trust it.
April 19th: Taurus Season
Striving For Emotional Security
Taurus season begins today, bringing a Mercury-Venus conjunction and some surprises. During this time, the focus is to find stability amid any intense, unpredictable shifts.
When the Sun was in Aries, it ushered in a new level of yang, masculine energy. Aries season was a time of initiation, generating a strong impulse to create, play, and engage in life’s many wonders. Now, with Taurus season upon us, we shift into the yin, the receiver, and the builder of what Aries brought forth. Taurus season is all about our relationship with our body, self-worth, and pleasure. This season brings some pretty major transits that may challenge us out of our normal routine yet boost determination and security. This energy also offers a time for reflection on core values.
Slow down, savor the sensual pleasures of Taurus season, appreciate the beauty of life, and know that you can always find your center during chaos. Just breathe and come back to your heart. Focus on feeling safe in your body and reprogramming any trauma it recorded.
Happy Birthday, Taurus!
April 20th: Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction
Healing the Belief System of the Collective Unconscious
Today brings a major event: two titans, Jupiter and Uranus, join forces 21 degrees in Taurus. This rare event, occurring roughly every 14 years, combines expansiveness with revolutionary change.
Jupiter’s presence in Taurus taught us a more patient and methodical approach when dealing with material matters, relationships, comfort, stability, and security. Meanwhile, Uranus brought innovation and disruption to our value system while in Taurus. Its surprises challenged the status quo and pushed us to reconsider our beliefs, values, and approaches to security, love, and success. At the heart of this union, we are encouraged to think outside the box and be open to unconventional solutions.
Collectively speaking, this may trigger significant advancements in technology, finance, and environmentalism. We may witness groundbreaking developments in alternative energy, sustainable living practices, and financial systems. Cryptocurrency and other forms of innovative banking may gain attention, reshaping how we perceive and use money. Individually, this alignment invites us to embrace growth and change while remaining grounded in our values and principles.
“We have all the potential to manifest our wildest dreams and create a future that is both abundant and enlightening.”
April 23rd: Scorpio Full Moon
A Time To Deepen Our Access to the Life Force
April’s Full moon arrives at 4 degrees in Scorpio, marking a moment of completion, illumination, and culmination. Scorpio’s magnetism reminds us of the innate creative sexual power we possess to manifest our life’s desires. Full Moons always bring revelations and clarity. Around this time, situations peak, and emotions run high. Because this is the lunar phase following the eclipse season, we have a unique opportunity to work on subconscious fears and past wounds that are preventing us from moving forward, especially those related to intimacy. There will be significant insights into relationships, intimacy, managing finances, and resources.
The Taurus-Scorpio axis activates issues around power, sexuality, and attachment. Taurus encourages the cultivation of self-worth, stability, and comfort. While Scorpio urges us to transform patterns, emotions, and habits that hinder our ability to cultivate self-worth, stability, and comfort. Also, uncovering toxic attachments that drain our creative power, vitality, and strength.
The Full moon squares Pluto, and the Lyrid meteor shower lights up the skies with love, making this quantum leap significantly easier. Meteor showers are like nature’s way of spreading minerals around the Universe, helping to balance and empower Earth and everyone on it. This serves as a reminder that manifesting our desires requires discipline and a commitment to learning the shadow self and reprogramming our brains from old beliefs, thoughts, and feelings.
Overall, when we identify coping mechanisms, survival strategies, and the fear-based mindset often developed during childhood. We experience massive quantum leaps into timelines that support a healed mind, body, and soul.
Themes for this Full Moon:
- Healing and liberation
- Greater connection with spiritual guides
- Avoiding bad company, greed, and manipulation
- Improvement of overall energy through meditation and self-study
April 25th: Mercury Direct
Learning How to Treat Each Other With the Highest Level of Respect
Mercury stations direct at 15°58 Aries, marking the end of its retrograde. As Mercury resumes its forward motion, energy shifts ahead with confidence in our decision-making processes.
Mercury’s shadow period lasts until May 13th, during which we may still experience lingering effects or unresolved issues from retrograde.
April 29th: Venus Enters Taurus
Accessing Our Magnetism to Manifest
After an eventful trip in Aries, Venus enters Taurus on the 29th. With Venus returning home, it’s time to enjoy life’s pleasures and focus on material comfort. You might feel slightly worried about money. However, opportunities to improve finances have arrived. You may find yourself presented with chances to upgrade your business plans or make savvy investments that contribute to long-term prosperity.
Moreover, focus on spending quality time with family and loved ones. This period is all about relishing in the finer things of life and nurturing close relationships. Venus, in its home sign, is where the heart feels most grounded and at peace.
April 30th: Mars Enters Aries
The Path Of the Spiritual Warrior
Mars returns home to Aries on the 30th, and its influence is potent and powerful. This event boosts our energy levels, thoughts, and creativity, making us feel more spontaneous, forward-thinking, and even courageous.
Our competitive drive kicks into high gear, and we begin to focus on victory. We’re filled with confidence and determination, ready to take on challenges head-on. However, it’s essential to be mindful of the shadow side of this transit. Impatience, arrogance, impulsivity, and a lack of reflection can lead to short-lived successes and self-centered behavior.
Striking a balance between assertiveness and consideration for others will be key.
