Highlights
We are entering a fast paced month. There are many moving parts and many of them are unknown or kept secret. On the world stage there are unanswered questions, accusations, reversals, and threats of war. Change is inevitable and the consequences of those changes will last for years. Hopefully, global leaders will be very sure of what they want to change and why, before they take action. Everything is possible, including peace.
For the population, the month will affect each of us in different ways based on our location and circumstances. Decisions made by our leaders will have effects that trickle down in different ways. There could still be high gas prices, groceries may still cost more, etc. It appears it will take a few months until a balance is finally achieved.
Be wise with your investments as always. With aggressive, impatient energies swirling around in April, making quick decisions without due diligence could cost you a bundle. The market may be on a roller coaster ride and that could stop, reverse and go forward again overnight.
With so much happening now, the best we can hope for is that we rise above the chaos and find positive solutions and peaceful paths to take.
The first week of April offers an opportunity for healing individually as well as globally. Let us hope this brings peace within ourselves and for the world.
Dates of Interest
Dec 1 – 7 The first week of the month is under the energy of the full moon on the 4th. In the day preceding this, a feeling of jitteriness or anticipation can be felt. It could be a new relationship is on the horizon or perhaps the ending of one. The desire to communicate or express your feelings is strong but keep in mind with the full moon energy, you might go off the rails and create chaos if you fail to THINK before acting.
Dec 8 – 15 The energy is bumpy at times and quite confusing. Expect things to pop out of the blue. Stay true to yourself. Do not be misled by jumbled information. You may feel quite lazy, especially on the 15th. It’s a good thing!
Dec 16 – 23 It is time to face reality now. Everyone will feel the pressure to assume responsibilities and “get on with it”. The few days around the 21st solstice could be challenging. Prepare for that by organizing and checking things off your holiday list or goals for the month. Your happiness depends on you, no one else.
Dec 24 – 31 Merry Christmas to all. The desire to be close to someone is strong. The hope of dreams being fulfilled is in the air. We are now on the verge of a transformation, a renewal of life. May you all be blessed with good health, happiness, peace, love and HOPE as we enter 2026.
Happy New Year’s Eve!
Sun Signs & Ascendants
Aries: Rushing around serves no good purpose right now. Make plans but wait to implement them. Mild exercise is better this month. Avoid crowds when you can.
Taurus:
April Taurus sun signs may feel out of sorts while those born mid May have luck on your side. Hints of a major change coming are now evident!
Gemini:
It is time to clear out, clean out, and let go! Mid month is prickly. You are at the threshold of a new life adventure and you feel it. Be patient, you have time!
Cancer:
You will find your emotional center by month’s end. Until then, find ways to be out in the sun, take a walk in nature, enjoy being with family and friends.
Leo:
This month your focus is on your back/spine. Find ways to exercise that will strengthen your back muscles. Start at the top with a new hairstyle!
Virgo:
Those born at the end of August may feel tired or drained. Find ways to uplift your spirit through helping others, donating and being physically active!
Libra:
Listen to the advice of older individuals. Be cautious with spending on luxuries. Wear happy colors and listen to uplifting music when possible.
Scorpio:
Unexpected changes may take you off guard. Although surprising, roll with whatever unfolds. It is time for a new approach, evident by mid-month.
Sagittarius:
You may feel cranky for most of the month. Toward the end of the month, you will understand the “prickles” and take charge moving forward.
Capricorn:
Time is on your side so count your blessings. Legal matters may pop up. A streak of luck is likely around mid-month. Schedule dental appointments now.
Aquarius:
The winds of change are blowing in your direction in a fantastically positive way. No matter the challenge, you will overcome it. A new door is opening wide.
Pisces:
Commitments made now will last if both parties have honest intentions. An art project may pop up suddenly that distracts you. Follow your intuition.
Energy Shifts
There is the tendency to rebel or make unusual choices. Be very cautious when speaking as there is power given to speech during the time Mercury is in Aquarius. Be ready for a new perspective, new way of thinking. As always, there are hidden agendas, secrets, things worked on behind the scenes. One, many or all could be exposed now. There is so much energy that we are definitely going to be kept on our toes. Love and relationships are intense. A new relationship now could light up a new direction for many. Some will feel everything is moving just too fast or the changes are too extreme and others will embrace the changes and move forward.
There are NO retrograde planets this month. This means all the planets are moving with full strength and without delays. Also worth noting is that by mid month we will have Mercury, Mars and Venus in the visionary and humanitarian sign of Aquarius joining Pluto. There is a huge emphasis on “the people” and things ruled by Aquarius. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and therefore, not a fan of restrictions but rather of freedom. This Aquarius influence will also affect the other air signs Gemini and Libra with a harmonious flow of energy.
It is time to move out of the karma energy that was operating in 2023. We will still see remnants of it through March but it is not the “theme” now. Making critical decisions and also the economy are. However, in August, that theme of 2023 will return for one month and then be done!
The economy and how it affects the people is the focus highlighting the world. Events, i.e. wars, chaos, and natural disasters should be watched now more than ever. Economic growth is spotlighted. Watch for changes in power structures and in many cases, that will involve downsizing, personal and business. This is more of a correction to the pandemic’s effect on the economy. Although painful at first, these adjustments will bring stability and a new path forward.
With Pluto beginning a new 20 year cycle in AQUARIUS, epiphanies, genius ideas, advanced technology, inventions, and futuristic projects find the limelight. AI is already on stage and spotlighted. The sign of AQUARIUS is about humanitarian causes, freedom and independence, inventions, futuristic thinking and the people, for example.
Spiritual/religious beliefs and studies play a part in this Pluto transit. This includes the leadership of religious and spiritual groups and organizations.
We are entering an exciting time. It will not happen overnight. But, it is a beginning. Our way of living and thinking about communication, travel, and currency is changing.
For now in 2024, be ready for the challenges, surprising events, and jarring news that will occur as we open the door to a new way of looking at the world and the people.
Daily Influences
Apr 01 – FULL MOON in LIBRA this evening at 10:12pm. The emotions are overflowing and passionate. Be careful with hasty agreements. Exercise patience and monitor your actions because impulsive actions now could be costly! Use the energy to make positive, solid plans and allow those to “season” for a few days. This will be hard for Aries sun signs but necessary for a positive outcome.
Apr 02 – The moon enters VOID at 4:55am until tomorrow morning at 8:11am when it will enter Scorpio. During the day expect things to change. There could be unexpected, out of the blue events. Your appointments may change or be cancelled. Oh a positive note, you might feel lazy and just take the day off!
Apr 03 – It is Good Friday and the moon is in the secretive sign of Scorpio. The mood is quiet and intense. The mind is actively looking into the depths of why things happen. Trust your intuition today. The tendency to stay in the shadows feels comfortable and a good place to observe others. Be aware of competition. Control jealous feelings or it will not turn out well.
Apr 04 – The moon continues in Scorpio with a much smoother energy. Researchers, investigators, historians may really like this energy. Be careful as the desire to dig deeper could lead to more than you expect or want. Taurus has a tendency to overindulge so be careful.
Apr 05 – HAPPY EASTER, enjoy the day’s events and pray for peace. The moon in Scorpio will keep things less festive but still filled with hope. It will enter VOID at 5:29pm, entering Sagittarius at 7:32pm. The evening brings harsh energies to cope with. There could be sudden outbursts or events especially involving women. Passions are intensified.
Apr 06 – The moon in Sagittarius will increase the desire to travel, to hike, to wander. There is a strong connection to laws, legal matters and foreign lands and people. There are friendly energies today which will support positive thinking. Religious activities are highlighted and may include news about a religious leader. Be careful in conversations. You may hurt others feelings with your tone!
Apr 07 – The Sagittarius moon highlights spiritual thinking, religions and educational institutions. Announcements from courts or judges may be headline news. With discordant energy midday, this may not be good news for everyone. Laws are questioned and the truth is needed. To the point conversations will expose weakness in plans. Gemini Sun signs are optimistic in spite of the frank conversations today.
Apr 08 – The moon shifts from Sagittarius at 5:52am into Capricorn at 8:04am. Now is the time to double check all bank and credit accounts. Consider your budget. Pull back the fluff and see what is real. You may have to trim your expenses a bit! This is a great day for planning. Cancer sun signs just want family time including having dinner at home.
Apr 09 – MARS enters ARIES. The moon is in Capricorn. There will be a push pull energy today. You want to act, but consider the consequences and stop. MARS in Aries is aggressive and impulsive at times. Stay calm, stick to the facts of any situation. The evening has disruptive energy. Stay away from any possible confrontation. You can accomplish a tremendous amount if you stay calm and control impatience.
Apr 10 – The moon in Capricorn continues. Feelings are out of sorts during the morning but then the emotions quiet down, the clouds part and you are able to see more clearly what needs to be done. It is a smooth day to take care of paying bills or maybe simple things like mowing the lawn. Be alert to government activities or government information being featured in the news. The moon enters VOID at 6:24pm and into Aquarius at 7:55pm.
Apr 11 – A friendly atmosphere for being with friends. The moon in Aquarius is a time for forward thinking, releasing the past. There is a humanitarian focus throughout the day. Your emotions and goals will work together to create positive feelings, so take the higher road today. Help someone that doesn’t expect it. Leo sun signs may try to steal the show!
Apr 12 – The moon continues in the visionary sign of Aquarius. Pay attention to your dreams as they will give you messages for when you are awake. Be careful with pushing too hard to get everyone to believe what you believe. Instead be an example and show them the way. It is said that a great leader leads by example. Be that example for someone today.
Apr 13 – The moon is VOID from 3:42am until 4:55am when it quietly enters Pisces. Being with children or pets brings a smile to your face. Working or simply walking in nature will do wonders for your spirit. Virgo cannot understand the pause in work! Volunteer at local shelters or donate to a charity of your choice.
Apr 14 – MERCURY enters ARIES tonight. You may feel guilty that you want to slow down a bit when there is so much going and you have all this energy. It’s okay to move forward with projects now but pay attention to your intuition. I say let the mind work and the body rest today. With Mars also in Aries, watch temper flares as they could cause damage that will be hard to repair.
Apr 15 – The moon moves out of Pisces at 9:07am and into Aries at 10:04am. This is a powerful, energetic day! Do not overdo it physically. Make the most of pushing toward your goals. Be careful as head injuries are common under this influence. Taking action is good as long as it is measured and not impulsive. In marketing, aggressive selling will ultimately backfire. Take note.
Apr 16 – The moon again in Aries is like being on a fire truck heading to a fire. The energy is high and building due to the New Moon in Aries tomorrow. The plus side of this energy today is your imagination can be made real with the right plans. So watch the details and go for it. Libra sun signs might want to hide today.
Apr 17 – NEW MOON in ARIES 27 degrees at 7:52am as it moves into VOID until 11:58am when it enters Taurus. This new moon creates a waterfall of emotions that, if used positively, could lead to something bigger and better. Use caution if you are at the negotiating table as the morning could be tense and the evening could have the waterfall drying up! Be frugal and hold onto what you have. Something is ending or closing out over the next month.
Apr 18 – The moon in Taurus blends with much easier aspects today. It is a great day for baking, looking at real estate or maybe trying out a new restaurant. There is also a possibility of a land shift, mudslide, earthquake or some type of weather related storm.. Scorpio sun signs pull back into the shadows.
Apr 19 – The SUN ENTERS TAURUS. The moon enters VOID at 11:45am and then moves into Gemini at 12:18pm. Enjoy the down to earth energy of the Sun and the lightness of emotions due to the Gemini moon. Conversations may increase especially regarding food and restaurants. It is time to connect with people who think like you do. Sagittarius sun signs want to travel to a new place to eat!
Apr 20 – The Gemini moon does something crazy. It enters VOID at 1:17am. So, we had the full strength of it for less than a day. It will remain VOID until tomorrow afternoon. Slow down. If you do not, things may not go as planned. Be prepared for changes and delays. Double check travel reservations. Expect the unexpected to happen. There is a chance that everything rolls along without a hitch so there is hope!
Apr 21 – The moon is VOID until 1pm when it enters the emotionally sensitive sign of Cancer. Whatever occurred yesterday or this morning will need filtering to see what comes next. The need to protect one’s family is strong. Allow for another day or two for this energy to settle. Capricorn sun signs have difficulty managing this emotional day.
Apr 22 – The moon in Cancer and struggling with challenges early in the morning. After midmorning, the challenges will ease and you will be able to finish the day with a lot accomplished. The emotional “stuff” may pop back up again in the early evening but it fades quickly.
Apr 23 – The moon is in Cancer until 3:28pm when it enters VOID briefly entering Leo at 3:41pm. The day moves quite smoothly.There may even be a brief attraction or flirting late evening! Be ready 🙂 There is a minor glitch to this as the moon is not exactly working with the sun! It passes quickly. Aquarius wants the good energy to linger!
Apr 24 – VENUS enters GEMINI and the moon is in Leo. Once the sun rises, the day turns out quite nice. It could have leadership issues with world leaders so that may take the fun out of today. For the most part, this is a great day, especially for conversations – romantic or not!! Hopefully, world leaders will be on a level playing field. At 6:21pm the moon enters VOID.
Apr 25 – URANUS enters GEMINI at 8:50pm. And the moon moves out of VOID and into Virgo at 9:04pm. This is a big day. Uranus will stay in Gemini for several years. Today it creates a bit of stress that passes quickly. Today is a good day to plan and work off your list of to-dos! Read more about this Uranus in Gemini transit below under Transiting Planets.
Apr 26 – The moon continues in Virgo and gives a “feel good” start to the day. The afternoon seems to struggle between optimism and stark reality. Make your morning count. Accomplish what you can, paying close attention to the details. Then, calmly get through the rest of the day. Double check travel itineraries for mistakes. You may experience digestive issues today due to sensitivity to a certain food. Be careful. Pisces turns on the music and keeps the head in the clouds!
Apr 27 – The moon in Virgo enters VOID at 7:12am and remains VOID all day until tomorrow morning. This is another long VOID energy day. Please know that things can happen just out of the blue! Be ready for sudden changes or cancellations. There could be a health announcement today that makes headlines.
Apr 28 – The moon moves into Libra at 5:03am. Late morning has testy energy. The emotions struggle with dreams. By noon, all is good and passions are strong. Creating partnerships is highlighted. The afternoon and early evening are good but late night may be tense. Maybe getting to bed/sleep early is the best way to end the day!
Apr 29 – The moon is still in Libra and stirring up a lot of mental activity. Although it sounds good and can be if the ego is held in check and compromise is on the table. It is a wonderful day for music, dancing and beautifying your surroundings. Aries sun signs do not care much one way or the other.
Apr 30 – The moon in Libra moves into VOID early at 4:52am and stays VOID until 3:02pm when it enters Scorpio! The morning energy causes grumpiness and thankfully smooths out by noon. Throughout the day watch for delays or changes. You may be in for a big surprise this afternoon which could be from the boss or romantic partner or even from a family member. Be happy and hug those you love.

Sky Interests
Retrograde Planets
There are no retrograde planets in April! This means all the planetary energies are feeling strong and ready to push forward. Taking the initiative is key. Depending on your personal circumstances, this would be a good month to meet with or involve the public. Be careful because there is impulsive and aggressive energy at times due to every planet being strong.
Transiting Planets
When a transiting planet contacts an individual’s personal planet, (Sun, Venus, Mercury, or Mars) a reaction, feeling or perhaps an event involving the planetary energies will be initiated. Example: transiting Jupiter connects with your Venus. You could simply have a couple of “feeling good” days while this is active or maybe even win a lottery, fall in love, or receive a bonus, settle a legal case, or set up a new bank account. It is helpful to know if this will be happening so you can plan and be prepared to make it a good “connection”. The following slower moving planets will be influential this year due to several actually changing signs.
JUPITER in CANCER until July 01 when it enters LEO
Jupiter moves the fastest of the slower moving planets, staying only a year in each sign. The last time Jupiter was in Cancer was in 2013/2014 and the last time in Leo was 2014/2015. If Jupiter touches one of your planets, it will uplift and add generous and philosophical energy to that planet’s activity. It enhances whatever or whomever it touches. When it is in your sign or your ascendant sign, it offers a certain amount of protection. It cannot keep all challenges away from you. But, in those cases, the outcome is better than if you did not have the protection of Jupiter.
Jupiter rules many things such as foreign policies, countries, religion, higher education, spirituality, military and military activity to name a few. It also rules legal matters or authority. So, it is possible that if Jupiter is close to one of your planets, you might be involved in a lawsuit or legal proceeding sometime during this year or connect with optimistic, like-minded people.
Overindulgence is one negative influence of Jupiter, so be sure to keep everything in moderation. Jupiter promotes growth, so it is possible to gain weight if it is transiting your Ascendant or your Sun (Cancer and Leo in 2026).
During the summer 2026 when Jupiter moves into LEO, a shift occurs with. less focus on home and family, increasing attention on fun and games, streaming, children, pets and even romance! Of course, LEO also rules leaders and entertainers and they will be in the spotlight from the summer of 2026 to summer 2027.
SATURN in ARIES until April 2028
Saturn returned to Aries in February 2026.
Starting off 2026 the rumbling of energy that could bring about restrictions or limits involving things ruled by both Pisces and Aries will continue. This highlights waterways and boundaries, oceans and liquids of all kinds, activities behind the scenes, religions/churches, imagination and then fires, aggressions, military, and military activities. It may hinder or slow new projects. There may be restricted activities due to fires/volcanoes, etc. Virgo Sun signs/ascendants (born after Sep 15) as well Libra sun/ascendants (born the end of Sep) may find a strong opposing energy making each task a challenge. On a positive note, health/medicine/healing may be a big topic with new and better ways to detect disease/illness. There may be new laws introduced that will change or structure the healthcare system as well as benefits from programs, i.e., social security. A review of new projects or laws can be studied with better plans for implementation.
Commitments made during a transit of Saturn to a personal planet (sun, moon, mercury, Venus, mars) will have endurance or longevity. Remember, Saturn offers the opportunity to bring discipline and structure to your life. This is positive if you take advantage of it without resisting the responsibilities or limitations that may pop up.
Be watchful of accidents or health issues involving the lower legs, especially the ankles, and feet and also everything about the head (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, brain, etc). Saturn encourages you to organize and discipline your activities and accept responsibilities. Pisces, If you have been working hard and taking care of tasks and keeping up, you will find that Saturn will reward you with a “good job” bonus gift when it exits your sign in Feb 2026. Aries will receive the same when it exits your sign in 2028. Given the ability to focus and accomplish now, use Saturn’s positive side to finish up projects or goals that have been set aside. Perhaps join a cause to help the world. Take on any added responsibilities as a learning experience that will benefit you even if you cannot see it at the time. PISCES has a strong connection with charities, children, pets, creative projects, oceans/liquids, psychic ability, and the film industry. ARIES has a strong tie to military forces, fires, firemen, impulsive decisions, explosives, drought or dry places and pioneering new projects or ideas.
URANUS in GEMINI April 25 until July 2032
Uranus stays approximately 7 years in a sign. Last time in Gemini was 84 years ago – 1941 -1949.
In the past, in 2018, it entered TAURUS. This energy highlighted money and earth changes. We can say we have experienced matters related to both. Uranus will now enter Gemini in late April 2026 staying until July of 2032.
In Gemini, there is an increased focus on, for example: communications, transportation (railroads, highways, shipping), broadcasting, education, writers, books/book stores, post offices and even treaties. When Uranus arrives in Gemini the focus will shift to AIR and SPACE technology, everything AI related, communications, inventions, and even wars. The U.S. Civil War and also World War II occurred during the last transit of Uranus in Gemini.
NEPTUNE in ARIES until May 2038
Neptune stays in each sign from 12 to 15 years and highlights the imagination, spirituality, films, religions and dreams. People find ways to escape reality with a few using deception to get ahead in life. Most of that is caused by the “fogginess” that surrounds Neptune in Pisces. Once it enters Aries the energy will shift and Neptune will express itself boldly and with confidence. It encourages a pioneering, aggressive and impulsive attitude at times. Neptune was last in ARIES 1861-1875. This was the time of the civil war in the U.S. Considering that, it encourages a serious awakening. It is a reality check. It is time to make those dreams real. Wars could, unfortunately, be part of this cycle when Neptune is in Aries. On a global level, managing the climate will be important as droughts and fires will increase. Weather could create urgency with heat concerns in parts of the world. In some cases, there could be increased volcanic eruptions, as well as unexpected explosions or wars. It will remain in Aries until May 21, 2038.
PLUTO moves into AQUARIUS until 2044
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 1778 – 1798. During that time, there was a war for independence between the North American colonies and Great Britain, the US Bill of Rights was ratified. Uranus was discovered/The French Revolution began and included the Reign of Terror.
PLUTO rules death and rebirth, transformation ……AQUARIUS rules things like electricity, air travel, electronics, broadcasting, freedom, inventions and the people. It is known to be the visionary sign because it sees into the future. Perhaps we will see a change in how people do business or work – shorter workweeks, remote work, less travel, or new inventions. New advances or information regarding AI, software, air travel, drones, robots, aliens. Groups of like-minded people will push for change. Hopefully, we have learned from the past and will create a peaceful path forward.
May the force still be with you!
