As you enter April, the effects of the recent Solar Eclipse from the end of the previous month are still reverberating. This New Moon moment signaled a thirty-day cycle that brings awareness to your sector of career and professional life, as well as public image, reputation, and your aspirations. There could be new ideas that stir you as you reach for the future and surprise twists in your social life that present you with unexpected realizations. Developments underway might highlight your path, title, and position in the world with the energy of new beginnings.
Ruled by Mars, currently residing in your sign, there’s a personal edge to this lunation. You might be ready to interrogate your goals and a role of prominence, affirming the ways that these are a true fit for you and seeking out the places where they do not match.
On the 4th, this is followed by the First Quarter Moon in your sign, additionally co-present there with Mars. You might encounter greater emphasis around your identity, vocational purpose, or on your look and physical appearance, the way that you come across to others. It’s possible you’ll feel at ease with your character and authentic self, with your chart ruler in its domicile sign, yet you might also pay attention to the way you tend both to your body and brand (or to your sense of accomplishment and career trajectory). As you’re still hosting the enthusiastic, ambitious influence of Mars in your sign, the way you’re seen or how others perceive you (as successful) could be more important to you or be seen as contrasting with the your professional engagements.
In this First Quarter Moon also, you find Saturn, your relationship sector ruler, in sextile to Uranus in Taurus and your community sector, while Mars falls in line with this pairing also. This could underline a meaningful journey or an educational path you’re on, involving a partner and friends in wider circles. There could be surprises, or intuitive information could prove significant. A quest, or course of personal development could be profoundly important, with a motivation and enthusiasm for seeking out truth in good company.
What’s more, Mercury and Venus (both retrograde) are travelling through this visionary sector of philosophy, learning and broadcasting, bringing more significance to experiences and expertise amassed. Venus finds harmony with Mars and forms a conjunction to Saturn in the water element, and additionally syncs with Uranus, so that there is loads of energy in motion.
On the 7th, Mercury shifts in its retrograde spell, stationing to direct motion. This provides a key moment in the retrograde cycle, while Mercury is standing dead-still in the sky, and as there is also a powerful triple conjunction between Mercury, Saturn, and Venus, marking a powerful follow-up to the recent First Quarter Moon energy of stop and go, and of discovering intuitive information to be helpful in resolving potential conflicts.
Partnerships with those further afield, or with a different cultural perspective could become more prominent. You might find attention revolves around your specialism, peers, key figures, and wisdom shared or published. It’s okay to ask questions and change your mind as you deal with global interests, significant figures, your dreams, and knowledge. Yet important to note that Saturn encourages discipline, commitment, and consistency, too.
The Libra Full Moon arrives on the 12th, in your sector of emotional roots, home life and domestic environments. This illuminates your inner world, property or family, and life under your roof. Within an hour of this moment, Venus stations direct, and as Libra is governed by Venus this is significant. You might consider your inner world and pay attention to household issues that could benefit from growth and discoveries bought about thanks to this retrograde spell. In the Full Moon, the Sun is conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer, together in your zone of public perception and accomplishments, so that you might also be confronting your vocation, leadership role or how you’re seen building or pursuing success. If inner wounding arises the idea there is to pay loving attention to that part of yourself that may be hidden within your psyche and perhaps feeling hurt as a result of past trauma.
On the late evening of the 15th, Mercury re-enters Aries and forms an immediate conjunction to Neptune, while three days later, on the 18th, Mars re-enters Leo. These ingresses affect your career and profession. These fiery transits with the Sun still exalted in Aries may bring rewards and recognition or instill within you a sense of new-found confidence. With everything that is going on, especially the Neptune emphasis, there could also be over-idealization or imagined escape plans that you are holding onto in the wings. Discernment is required to separate the practical from the fantasy or spiritual ideal, although sometimes the latter might be the more accurate.
For a brief window, the Sun and Mars are in mutual reception, which could be positive for your status or professional profile, with momentum in your public role. It’s possible you’ll be open and public about the work you do in private to get ahead, with an announcement or news made public, adding to your authority, credibility and aims. There is a thrust for your work becoming more profitable; and, with the retrograde recovery of Mercury lasting for another two weeks, caution might also need to be recommended.
From the 18th to the 20th, as Taurus Season begins on the 19th, Mars arrives in a trine to Neptune, a signature emphasizing your efforts to perform, earn, spend or act according to your inner goals and spiritual understanding, and imagination, so that this magical amalgam could positively affect your outer life, career or personal aspirations.
On the 20th, the Last Quarter Moon arrives in Aquarius, forming a conjunction to Pluto, opposing Mars, and squaring the Sun in Taurus, which in turn squares Mars. This T-square provides a moment of tension, given Mars and Pluto are in direct opposition, and the Sun additionally answers to Mars in Leo. You will want to be aware of what you’re trying to accomplish solo, versus what other people provide, with Pluto in your commitment sector encouraging you to see intimate collaborations in a new light. If finances are a point of contention or you sense a power struggle, you might like to talk from a place of authority and self-worth. This lunation enhances the overall transformational theme of this April month, especially wherever the early degrees of the Fixed signs happen to land in your particular solar or actual chart and insists on its recognition.
The Taurus New Moon on the 27th signals a fresh start rich in team spirit – here you could be working in community networks, with friends that understand how far you’ve come on your journey.
On the 30th, Venus re-enters Aries or your tenth house of career aspirations and outer prominence. You might finish the month in combining your social life and collective wishes with accolades and achievements you’re working towards. All in all, it has been a pretty wild ride.
