April Forecast
Goodbye, retrogrades; hello, Taurus season!
Hello friends! Hard to believe we are already in April - how is the year already a quarter finished?! 😮
This month is all about bold new beginnings - and we'll also be navigating some cosmic turbulence along the way. Neptune, the planet of dreams and spirituality, has just kicked off its long journey through Aries (as of March 30), bringing a fiery push to lead with purpose. What will that look like? TBD - Neptune is nebulous - but expect to see a jumpstart in the practice part of your spirituality (being who you are, not just believing in it). This energy will be with us until 2038, so consider this the start of a whole new chapter. Check out my last Substack for predictions on how this will affect us on a global scale.
We’re also shaking off the retrograde hangover from March. Mercury and Venus have both been creating delays, miscommunication, and unresolved tensions, often in the form of exes and grudges popping up like unhinged Jacks-in-the-Box. But relief is in sight: Mercury goes direct on April 7, and Venus follows on the 12th, clearing the way for closure, forward momentum, and maybe even a few softened hearts.
Also on the 12th, things heat up emotionally with the Libra full moon. Normally, Libra brings peace and harmony, but this moon gets tangled in a tense cosmic standoff with Mars in Cancer and the Sun–Chiron duo in Aries. Old wounds you thought you healed might resurface, and you could find yourself torn between striving for balance or just avoiding conflict altogether. Do you keep your mouth shut to keep the peace? Stay mindful, but don't forget that "no" is a full sentence. Enacting boundaries may feel like heavy lifting, but it's required for growth.
Taurus season arrives on April 19, bringing a much-needed grounding energy. Then, a Sun–Pluto square on April 23 turns up the intensity even more, spotlighting issues of power, control, and transformation. This transit can bring ego clashes or force us to confront uncomfortable truths—both about ourselves and others. If something feels like it’s being stripped away, trust that it’s making room for something more aligned. Pluto never takes without purpose.
Pluto is activated again during the Mars–Pluto opposition on April 26, stirring up more power struggles and potential drama. But luckily, the Taurus new moon on April 27 offers a reset button, ushering in what could finally be a moment of calm (though let’s be real, that's not a guarantee!). Use this moon to draft your material plans for the next 6 months. This is an ideal time to review your finances. Does your outer stuff match your inner stuff? If not, consider a Spring cleaning or upgrade to reflect the you that you’re becoming.
The big takeaway from this month’s forecast? True stability isn’t about resisting change; it’s about learning how to stay centered and flexible no matter what the universe throws your way.
