Monday is a bright, beautiful, optimistic start to the week. Dream big, be bold, and take inspired action as Venus spends the last day in her home sign of Taurus. 

Tuesday 4/11:

• ♀︎ ▻ Gemini | 12:47 AM
• ♀︎ at 00° 15‘ Gemini △ ♇ at 00° 15‘ Aquarius | 6:14 AM

Tuesday morning Venus moves into Gemini at 12:47 am eastern. 

Venus moving into Gemini is overall a delightful, free, conversational, curious, and flirty transit. She’s the belle of the ball and will make it easier for you to attract the things that you want in the Gemini area of your chart, relationships with women, and how you approach money in a way that is a bit more light hearted and fun.

As soon as she hits Gemini, Venus will begin working with Pluto in Aquarius to show you some of the more positive benefits of having Pluto in that area of your life. Pay attention to how your Gemini house topics can help support transformation in the Aquarius part of your life.

Remember what I said about Venus in Gemini being flirty and sassy? That’s true….. But it doesn’t really get started until after the square with Venus on the 14th. Until then there will likely be tension building around a topic related to love or money (or both). 

By rising sign, areas where you’ll have a little boost of magnetism and the topics you’ll be exploring through the lens of Venus in Gemini are:

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

I know that was a lot but there’s more. 

On Tuesday night the Sun and Jupiter join forces at 6:07 pm eastern. The Sun and Jupiter join up once a year and it is a spectacular and unapologetically good transit. I’m not even going to say subjective here because the conjunction is absolutely delightful and it’s the start of multiple cycles that are further emphasizing the Aries area of your life.

Jupiter and the Sun join once a year, so this is setting the tone for Jupiter over the next year. Jupiter takes 12 years to make it around the zodiac, so pay attention! Make note of what happens, what you’re thinking about, what you want, and what you are inspired by today, the day before, and the day after for clues about the upcoming eclipses and what you might want more of in this area of life over the next twelve years.

Wednesday 4/12:

• ☽ at 09° 00‘ Capricorn ☍ ♂︎ at 09° 00‘ Cancer | 5:02 AM
• ☽ at 11° 39‘ Capricorn △ ☿ at 11° 39‘ Taurus | 9:35 AM 
• ☽ at 17° 25‘ Capricorn △ ♅ at 17° 25‘ Taurus | 7:23 PM

Wednesday there is a lot of motivation to get things done. Just be mindful that in the process of doing all of the things you aren’t mowing anyone over, especially early on.

Thursday 4/13:

•  ☽ at 22° 05‘ Capricorn □ ♃ at 22° 05‘ Aries | 3:19 AM
• 🌗 Last Quarter Moon | 5:11 AM
• ☽ at 23° 11‘ Capricorn ☉ at 23° 11‘ Aries 
• ☽ at 26° 10‘ Capricorn ✳ ♆ at 26° 10‘ Pisces | 10:14 AM
• ☽ ▻ Aquarius | 4:42 PM
• ☽ ☌ ♇ at 00° 17‘ Aquarius | 5:11 PM
• ☽ at 03° 22‘ Aquarius △ ♀︎ at 03° 22‘ Gemini | 10:23 PM

Thursday is nice and productive in general. It’s a good day for taking grounded optimistic action. 

If you’re feeling that Pluto transit, you’ll get another hit of it after around 5pm eastern as the Moon triggers first Pluto and then Venus to give you a little more insight into what kind of transformation the Aquarius part of your life has in store for you. 

Friday 4/14:

• ♀︎ at 04° 03‘ Gemini □ ♄ at 04° 03‘ Pisces | 12:38 PM
• ☽ at 13° 25‘ Aquarius □ ☿ at 13° 25‘ Taurus | 3:15 PM
• ☽ at 17° 31‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 17° 31‘ Taurus | 10:07 PM

Friday we have the exact square between Venus and Saturn and it is… serious. 

It might be Venusian topics in the Gemini area of your life being put on hold because of boundaries and limitations being imposed by your Pisces house topics or it could be the structure of topics related to your Pisces house supporting the things you really want to create or receive in the Gemini area of your life.

Because it is Venus and Saturn, it might also have to do with relationship boundaries being set or serious commitments being made within a relationship. 

Saturday 4/15:

• ☽ at 22° 36‘ Aquarius ✳ ♃ at 22° 36‘ Aries | 6:36 AM
• ☽ at 25° 23‘ Aquarius ✳ ☉ at 25° 23‘ Aries | 11:15 AM
• ☽ ▻ Pisces | 6:56 PM

Saturday is busy and productive during the day. It’s a great opportunity to finish tasks remaining on your to-do list from earlier in the week or get a jump on those for next week. This is especially true for those that require a lot of mental clarity or a dose of confidence and optimism.  

Sunday 4/16: 

•  ☽ ☌ ♄ at 04° 12‘ Pisces | 1:57 AM
• ☽ at 11° 18‘ Pisces △ ♂︎ at 11° 18‘ Cancer | 1:48 PM 
• 🌘 Waning Crescent Moon | 2:07 PM
• ☽ at 11° 29‘ Pisces ☉ at 26° 29‘ Aries 
• ☽ at 06° 00‘ Pisces □ ♀︎ at 06° 00‘ Gemini | 4:58 PM
• ☽ at 14° 39‘ Pisces ✳ ☿ at 14° 39‘ Taurus | 7:24 PM

Sunday is emotionally intense. The Venus/Saturn topics are getting a little extra nudge as the Moon joins Saturn early and then squares Venus. It’s not a bad day, think of it as providing the emotional fortitude and motivation to deal with situations head on that you may have felt were too big to tackle previously. 

If the Saturn Venus things aren’t being triggered in your chart then it’s much more likely that you’ll experience the day as progressively more dreamy and chill. 

With that in mind, next week it is full speed ahead into eclipses and Mercury retrograde. It’s going to get bumpy, so find your solid ground and settle in.

If you’re feeling frisky, hit me up on Instagram and let me know how the astrology of the week played out for you.

Until next time, my wish for you is the audacious courage required to move forward with optimism.
