[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of April 3 - 9

Monday 4/3: 

• ☿ ▻ Taurus | 12:22 PM 
• ☿ at 00° 10‘ Taurus □ ♇ at 00° 10‘ Aquarius | 2:55 PM
• ☽ at 16° 56‘ Virgo △ ♅ at 16° 56‘ Taurus | 4:28 PM

Monday you’ll want to pay close attention to what happens.

Mercury is moving into Taurus for a ten week journey. This is more than double the time he usually spends in a sign because of a retrograde that begins midmonth, but more on that later.

For now, I want you to settle in to how Mercury feels to you in Taurus. For reference, in the natal chart, Mercury is how we think, speak, learn, communicate, and reason. By transit it can show up as what we are thinking about, learning about, and wanting to talk about more. 

The Taurus area of your life is where you tend to prefer stability and where you can be more productive and resourceful. The eclipses and Uranus transit has probably made this area feel much less stable over the past several years but the ground looks pretty unstable after being tilled in preparation for planting a new crop and that’s what these eclipses have been doing. Shaking things up so you have what you need to grow.

This ten week process is going to help you review all of the lessons you’ve learned from the Taurus eclipses over the past year and a half (ish) *and* help you get ready for the glow up that Jupiter will be bringing to this area of your life in May.

Immediately after entering Taurus Mercury will square off with Pluto in Aquarius. This is one of the opportunities to see how Pluto will behave in his new home. You have likely already experienced tension between your Taurus and Aquarius house topics over the last three years as Saturn made his way through the sign. Now you’ll get a glimpse into what kind of transformative process could be on the horizon.

By rising sign, the area of your life that you’ll be spending a lot of time organizing, thinking, talking, and learning more about are:

• Aries Rising: Money, possessions, resources, and how you make a living
• Taurus Rising: Self-awareness, your identity, appearance, personality, the way you view yourself, your character, your primary motivation, your body, your health, and vitality
• Gemini Rising: Mental health, the subconscious, ways you self sabotage, the ways you isolate yourself, hidden enemies, transcendence, and spiritual liberation
• Cancer Rising: Friends with influence, alliances, your hopes and dreams, social media, personal and professional networks, unions, mentors, and that which supports you
• Leo Rising: Your reputation, profession, actions, relationship with and to authority, your mother and her family, your destiny, and your ambitions
• Virgo Rising: Higher education, divination, foreign travel, religion, astrology, the divine masculine, and your ability to grow, adapt, and learn
• Libra Rising: Investment, other people’s money, debt, topics concerning death, psychology, taxes, fears, transformation, and the occult
• Scorpio Rising: Committed relationships, contracts, business partners, and other contractual relationships, and open enemies
• Sagittarius Rising: Physical health, illness, coworkers, your job, pets, self-improvement, and the things you feel obligated to 
• Capricorn Rising: Children, pleasure, romance, dating, sexuality, the things you desire,  the creative arts, love affairs, the ways in which you are entertained, close friends, and lovers 
• Aquarius Rising: 4Home, family, home life, land, ancestors, private self, your emotional foundation, gains from hidden sources, your father, and your father’s family
• Pisces Rising: Communication, divination, short-distance travel, your neighborhood, writing, your immediate environment, the divine feminine, siblings, and cousins

Tuesday 4/4:

• ☽ at 21° 51‘ Virgo △ ♀︎ at 21° 51‘ Taurus | 2:04 AM
• ☽ at 25° 50‘ Virgo ☍ ♆ at 25° 50‘ Pisces | 9:49 AM
• ☽ ▻ Libra | 5:51 PM 
• ☽ at 00° 11‘ Libra △ ♇ at 00° 11‘ Aquarius | 6:13 PM

Tuesday is a little dreamy and romantic or perhaps a little indulgent and delusional. Either way, it’s a great day to work towards those Aries New Moon goals as we get closer to the Libra Full Moon that will be occurring Wednesday night. 

Wednesday 4/5:

•  ☽ at 05° 23‘ Libra □ ♂︎ at 05° 23‘ Cancer | 4:11 AM
• ☿ at 03° 12‘ Taurus ✳ ♄ at 03° 12‘ Pisces | 12:20 PM
• Libra 🌕 Full Moon | 11:34 pm (central)
• ☽ at 16° 07‘ Libra ☍ ☉ at 16° 07‘ Aries 

Wednesday is action oriented and productive. That could feel a little like hustle energy as you work toward making your plans a reality, but hustle isn’t always a bad thing. Another way of looking at it is a project or work sprint where you’re putting in a lot of effort for a short period of time to achieve a goal. That’s honestly a good way to think about the entire week all the way up to the Libra Full Moon which goes exact at 11:34 pm central.

In general, this is a beneficial Full Moon. The Sun is moving towards Jupiter which is a bit like walking towards Santa knowing you’ve been good all year. It’s a boost for your Aries house topics specifically and a good opportunity for healing or coaching yourself through any self-imposed limitations you may have been wrestling with. 

Full Moons build upon the themes of the previous New Moon. This Libra Full Moon is a culmination of the seeds you planted with your Aries New Moon intentions or goals. Up until the moment the Full Moon is exact continue to put yourself out there, take massive action, and shine. Once the Full Moon is exact, it is time to release anything (especially related to your Libra house topics) that could be holding you back from achieving those Aries goals you set in motion two weeks ago.

By rising sign, the area of life you may experience a celebratory achievement prior to the Full Moon and/or a point of release over the next two weeks:

• Aries Rising: Committed relationships, contracts, business partners, and other contractual relationships, and open enemies
• Taurus Rising: Physical health, illness, coworkers, your job, pets, self-improvement, and the things you feel obligated to 
• Gemini Rising: Children, pleasure, romance, dating, sexuality, the things you desire,  the creative arts, love affairs, the ways in which you are entertained, close friends, and lovers 
• Cancer Rising: Home, family, home life, land, ancestors, private self, your emotional foundation, gains from hidden sources, your father, and your father’s family
• Leo Rising: Communication, divination, short-distance travel, your neighborhood, writing, your immediate environment, the divine feminine, siblings, and cousins
• Virgo Rising: Money, possessions, resources, and how you make a living
• Libra Rising: Self-awareness, your identity, appearance, personality, the way you view yourself, your character, your primary motivation, your body, your health, and vitality
• Scorpio Rising: Mental health, the subconscious, ways you self sabotage, the ways you isolate yourself, hidden enemies, transcendence, and spiritual liberation
• Sagittarius Rising: Friends with influence, alliances, your hopes and dreams, social media, personal and professional networks, unions, mentors, and that which supports you
• Capricorn Rising: Your reputation, profession, actions, relationship with and to authority, your mother and her family, your destiny, and your ambitions
• Aquarius Rising: Higher education, divination, foreign travel, religion, astrology, the divine masculine, and your ability to grow, adapt, and learn
• Pisces Rising: Investment, other people’s money, debt, topics concerning death, psychology, taxes, fears, transformation, and the occult

Thursday 4/6:

•  ☽ at 20° 27‘ Libra ☍ ♃ at 20° 27‘ Aries | 8:42 AM

Thursday morning you might be tempted to go a little overboard but the rest of the day is quiet. We have an extra long void moon that lasts from 8:42 am eastern until 2:29 am Friday morning.

Void Moons are great for deep work, self-care, and activities related to internal reflection like meditation, journaling, napping, and yoga. They’re not so great for beginning brand new things, first dates, or people being on time. 

If you’re aiming for productivity, plan buffer time for other people and yourself to be a little more flowy (and running behind) than usual.

Friday 4/7:

• ☽ ▻ Scorpio | 2:29 AM 
• ☽ at 00° 13‘ Scorpio □ ♇ at 00° 13‘ Aquarius | 2:53 AM 
• ☽ at 03° 23‘ Scorpio △ ♄ at 03° 23‘ Pisces | 8:44 AM
• ☽ at 06° 11‘ Scorpio ☍ ☿ at 06° 11‘ Taurus | 1:52 PM 
• ♀︎ at 25° 57‘ Taurus ✳ ♆ at 25° 57‘ Pisces | 1:58 PM
• ☽ at 06° 37‘ Scorpio △ ♂︎ at 06° 37‘ Cancer | 2:42 PM

Friday the Moon moves into Scorpio giving us no shortage of intensity this weekend but in a way that is far more productivite than the Scorpio area of life has had access to in quite some time.

It’s a pretty great day for tasks involving mental dexterity, assertiveness, creativity, and maybe a touch of idealism or beauty. Overall a strong finish for the week.

Saturday 4/8:

• ☿ at 06° 53‘ Taurus ✳ ♂︎ at 06° 53‘ Cancer | 2:28 AM
• ☽ at 17° 11‘ Scorpio ☍ ♅ at 17° 11‘ Taurus | 9:55 AM

Saturday is kind of a wild card. There isn’t much going on astrologically by transit but that doesn’t mean your chart isn’t being activated personally. 

In general, expect the unexpected🫣 

Sunday 4/9: 

• ☽ at 26° 01‘ Scorpio △ ♆ at 26° 01‘ Pisces | 1:49 AM
• ☽ at 27° 52‘ Scorpio ☍ ♀︎ at 27° 52‘ Taurus | 5:09 AM
• ☽ ▻ Sagittarius | 8:56 AM
• ☽ at 00° 14‘ Sagittarius ✳ ♇ at 00° 14‘ Aquarius | 9:22 AM
• ☽ at 03° 36‘ Sagittarius □ ♄ at 03° 36‘ Pisces | 3:21 PM
• 🌖 Waning Gibbous Moon | 5:24 PM 
• ☽ at 04° 45‘ Sagittarius ☉ at 19° 45‘ Aries 

Sunday the Moon moves into Sagittarius to help rev the internal engines and prepare us for a very active week ahead. If you find yourself with some extra energy, set yourself up for success by prepping what you can so your future self will be ready to hit the ground running Monday.

Until next time my wish for you is partnership filled with balanced autonomy.
