[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of April 21-27

This week isn’t light and fluffy. It’s more like a chess tournament - have you seen the Queen’s Gambit? Venus (obviously the Queen) is joining up with Saturn while the Sun and Mars are running the Pluto gambit. 

Stay strategic.

• ☽ ☌ ♇ at 03° 46‘ Aquarius | 2:19 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 04° 08‘ Aquarius ✳ ☿  at 04° 08‘ Aries | 3:00 AM Eastern

Monday information moves more easily, and there’s a sense of things connecting across different areas without too many issues. 

It may still take effort to stay focused, but opportunities tend to show up through clear communication and a willingness to stay engaged.

• Best for: Sharing ideas, following up on recent conversations, making plans, connecting across networks
• Potential Challenges: Overextending, missing details, talking past the point, scattered attention

Tuesday 04/22

• ☽ at 19° 42‘ Aquarius △ ♃ at 19° 42‘ Gemini | 7:04 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 25° 52‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 25° 52‘ Taurus | 5:55 PM Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 5:55 PM Eastern - April 23 at 1:06 AM Eastern

Tuesday is one part optimism and one part instability - which could be fun, right?

There’s room for easy connections and unexpected turns, but things may veer off course if expectations are too fixed. Staying flexible helps make the most of whatever the day throws your way.

• Best for: Light collaboration, sharing ideas, making space for spontaneity, noticing what works without overthinking
• Potential Challenges: Disruptions, stubborn responses, overcommitting, reacting too strongly to minor surprises

Wednesday 04/23

• ☉ at 03° 47‘ Taurus □ ♇ at 03° 47‘ Aquarius | 1:10 PM Eastern

Wednesday tension is bubbling just under the surface, especially around control, responsibility, or who gets the final say. Ok, it might also be exploding out into the open.

Power dynamics are harder to ignore, and even small issues can turn into something bigger if no one’s willing to back down.

• Best for: Focused effort, holding boundaries, identifying pressure points, navigating high-stakes conversations
• Potential Challenges: Power plays, digging in too hard, reacting to tone over substance, misreading what’s actually at stake

• ☽ V/C | 10:57 pm - April 25 at 3:23 AM Eastern

Thursday has a quiet seriousness that’s hard to ignore. Whether it’s about connection, responsibility, or what’s worth sustaining, decisions tend to feel more defined. 

There’s less room to avoid the reality of what’s working and what isn’t.

• Best for: Clarifying expectations, formalizing commitments, revisiting long-term priorities
• Potential Challenges: Emotional distance, unmet expectations, delayed results, pressure to stay steady without certainty

Friday 04/25

• ☽ ▻ Aries | 3:23 AM Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♆ at 00° 55‘ Aries  | 4:53 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 07‘ Aries △ ♂︎ at 03° 07‘ Leo | 8:28 AM Eastern

• ☽ ☌  ☿ at 09° 04‘ Aries  | 6:04 PM Eastern 

Friday words and reactions come quickly, especially when power dynamics or personal pride are involved.

Even small decisions or comments could stir up something that’s been building for awhile.

• Best for: Direct expression, noticing pressure points, starting conversations, responding with clarity
• Potential Challenges: Escalating tension, reactive language, pushing too hard, ignoring subtle signals

Saturday 04/26

• ☽ at 20° 30‘ Aries ✳ ♃ at 20° 30‘ Gemini | 12:18 PM Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 12:18 pm - April 27 at 3:16 AM Eastern
• ♂︎  at 03° 48‘ Leo ☍ ♇ at 03° 48‘ Aquarius | 9:05 PM Eastern

Saturday the air is charged and decisions come with a little more edge. 

There’s tension around control, visibility, and whose move it really is, especially if something has been amping up over the last five months or so.

Even if things look settled on the surface, pressure has a way of slipping (exploding) through the cracks.

• Best for: Strategic action, recognizing patterns, observing power dynamics, navigating competitive situations
• Potential Challenges: Ego clashes, control struggles, simmering resentment, overreactions to perceived threats

Sunday 04/27

• ☽ ▻ Taurus | 3:16 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 48‘ Taurus  □ ♇ at 03° 48‘ Aquarius | 10:16 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 04° 02‘ Taurus □ ♂︎ at 04° 02‘ Leo | 10:38 AM Eastern
• Taurus 🌑 New Moon | ☽ ☌ ☉ at at 07° 46‘ Scorpio | 3:31 PM Eastern

Sunday we have the Taurus New Moon and it dominates the day. 

It’s ruled by the Queen and caught in the middle of that ongoing gambit between Mars and Pluto, which means what starts now may feel like a move on a larger board. 

Power, pride, and persistence are all in play, even if it looks quiet on the surface.

• Best for: Strategic planning, clarifying priorities, setting boundaries, initiating grounded action
• Potential Challenges: Control struggles, stubborn behavior, misjudging tension, pressure to push before ready

Just remember, before it goes exact at 3:31 pm eastern you’re cutting ties and clearing out the old to make room for that strategic new beginning. 

Until next time, my wish for you is for every move to bring you closer to declaring checkmate. - Robin 💋
