[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of April 7 - 13

This week the tides begin to shift. We have both Mercury and Venus stationing direct and our first non eclipse lunation in a month (wooHOO!).

This is a great week to do all of the things, especially since starting next week the tension starts to amp up for the rest of the month. Don’t worry - all of the hard work will pay off this summer. 

Monday 04/07

• ♀︎ ☌ ♄ at 25° 15‘ Pisces | 7:01 AM Eastern
• ☿ ▻ Direct at 26° 49‘ Pisces | 7:07 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 17° 01‘ Leo ✳ ♃ at 17° 01‘ Gemini | 8:36 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 18° 01‘ Leo  △ ☉ at 18° 01‘ Aries | 10:30 AM Eastern

Monday has a heavy but decisive feeling, like something important is being settled, even if it’s quieter than expected.

People are likely to be inclined to put things in their proper place, whether that’s an agreement, a plan, or something that’s been in the works for awhile.

With Mercury finally stationing direct, conversations, decisions, and all of the other things brought up by the retrograde may still feel a little sticky, but there’s a noticeable shift toward wanting resolution instead of circling the same questions repeatedly.

• Best for: Finalizing decisions, setting firm priorities, closing open loops, strengthening commitments
• Potential Challenges: Slow communication, second-guessing choices, holding onto what needs to shift, getting stuck in old doubts

Tuesday 04/08

• ☽ V/C | 12:08 AM - 9:39 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 25° 05‘ Leo □ ♅ at 25° 05‘ Taurus | 12:08 AM Eastern
• ♀︎ at 25° 05‘ Pisces ✳ ♅  at 25° 05‘ Taurus | 12:48 AM Eastern
•  ☽ ▻ Virgo | 9:39 AM Eastern
• 🌔 Waxing Gibbous Moon | 6:06 PM Eastern

Tuesday is a nice way to ease back into Mercury being direct. There is plenty of wide open space today and tomorrow to get things accomplished if you set your mind to it. 

• Best for: Practical tasks, small adjustments, steady follow-through
• Potential Challenges: Early distractions, overthinking, perfectionism

Wednesday 04/09

• ☽ at 17° 26‘ Virgo □ ♃  at 17° 26‘ Gemini | 8:04 PM Eastern

Wednesday it’s easy to get excited about ideas, plans, or conversations that seem to grow faster than you can keep up with, and not all of them will stick - but it could be a lot of fun to try.

• Best for: Big-picture thinking, starting something optimistic, connecting with others, letting momentum build even if it’s not perfect
• Potential Challenges: Overcommitting, missing small details, feeling scattered, pushing harder than needed

Thursday 04/10

• ☽ at 24° 44‘ Virgo  ☍ ♀︎ at 24° 44‘ Pisces | 10:38 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 25° 13‘ Virgo  △ ♅ at 25° 13‘ Taurus | 11:36 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 25° 37‘ Virgo ☍ ♄ at 25° 37‘ Pisces | 12:25 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 27° 04‘ Virgo ✳ ♂︎ at 27° 04‘ Cancer | 3:19 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 27° 19‘ Virgo ☍ ☿at 27° 19‘ Pisces | 3:48 PM Eastern

• ☽ ▻ Libra | 9:11 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 00° 25‘ Libra ☍ ♆ at 00° 25‘ Aries | 10: 03 PM Eastern

Thursday is super busy. Lots of details to manage, loose ends to tie up, and a few unexpected turns to navigate.

Plans should move forward steadily but there might be a lot of double-checking, small adjustments, and some backtracking needed.

Prioritize clear communication and pragmatism to keep things from getting twisted.

• Best for: Finishing lingering tasks, reorganizing priorities, fixing small mistakes, making steady adjustments
• Potential Challenges: Mixed messages, slowdowns, trying to rush through complicated steps, missing key details by moving too fast

Friday 04/11

• ☽ at 03° 41‘ Libra  △ ♇ t 03° 41‘ Aquarius | 4:37 AM Eastern

Friday there’s a lot of momentum for making plans, exchanging ideas, or getting a better handle on things that’ve been in the background for awhile. 

Opportunities build naturally without needing a lot of extra effort, and even heavier topics are easier to move through when the timing is right. 

It’s the kind of day where steady action can open more doors than expected - a pretty great way to wrap up the week.

• Best for: Strengthening plans, building useful connections, working through important topics, making quiet progress
• Potential Challenges: Overcommitting, getting distracted by too many options, missing deeper issues by staying on the surface, moving faster than necessary

Saturday 04/12

• ☽ at 17° 53‘ Libra △ ♃ at 17° 53‘ Gemini | 9:20 AM Eastern
• Libra 🌕 Full Moon  |8:22 PM Eastern 
• ☽ at 23° 20‘ Libra ☍ ☉ at 23° 20‘ Aries |  8:22 PM Eastern
• ♀︎ ▻ Direct at 24° 37‘ Pisces  | 9:02 PM Eastern

Saturday we have a wicked powerful Libra Full Moon building all day and occurring less than an hour from Venus (the ruler) stationing direct in her sign of exaltation.

The Full Moon marks a turning point where something that’s been growing quietly beneath the surface demands recognition or resolution.

Venus stationing direct restores steadiness to bonds, agreements, and loyalties that have been tested or unsettled.

• Best for: Wrapping up ongoing situations, clarifying priorities, acting on what’s already known, celebrating 
• Potential Challenges: Emotional overreactions, pressure to move too fast, reopening old frustrations, underestimating the weight of small choices

Also, this is officially the end of both eclipse and retrograde season. Of course, Mercury and Venus (and Mars) still need to clear their shadow and the end of the month has some very tense aspects to look forward to - but the skies are starting to clear ;)

Sunday 04/13

• ☽ V/C | 6:00 AM - 9:54 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 28° 05‘ Libra  □ ♂︎ at 28° 05‘ Cancer | 6:00 AM Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Scorpio | 9:54 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 43‘ Scorpio  □ ♇ at 03° 43‘ Aquarius | 5:26 PM Eastern

Sunday there might be a little bit of a Full Moon hangover. It doesn’t take much for small problems to turn into bigger ones.

People may be quicker to push back or get frustrated, especially if things feel stuck or sunsettled. Pressure could build fast if no one’s paying attention to how hard they’re pushing.

• Best for: Standing your ground when it matters, pushing through stubborn blocks, spotting where things need a different approach
• Potential Challenges: Snapping over small stuff, letting minor problems spiral, digging in too hard, stirring up more trouble than necessary

Until next time, my wish for you is clarity, delight, and momentum on your path forward.  - Robin💋
