Astrology for the Week of April 11 - 17

Before we get started, I want you to know that all times I’m going to mention are in the Eastern time zone. If you want to see the aspects discussed in the forecast on your digital calendar in your time zone, you can get that here.

There is a LOT of emotion tied up in this one little week. 

If you find yourself feeling all of the feels, remember that it is possible to determine the thoughts (not the circumstances!) that are creating those feelings. Sometimes anger or grief are created by thoughts we want to keep. For example, you may want to be angry if someone speaks to you in a demeaning way and decide to remove them from your life or you may want to be curious as to what caused them to speak that way and open a dialogue with them to sort it out. 

Neither response is wrong but it is useful to understand your thoughts and feelings when you encounter an emotionally charged situation. Why do you think the words were demeaning? Is there another interpretation? Was it the words or the tone or your past experience with someone else that used those words or that tone?  

If you encounter someone in your life that is being extra dramatic, just remember that not everyone has the same set of coping skills and try to lead with compassion.

Monday 4/11: 

• ☽ at 13° 25‘ Leo □ ♅ at 13° 25‘ Taurus | 2:25 am
• ☽ at 22° 01‘ Leo △ ☉ at 22° 01‘ Aries | 7:00 pm
• ☽ at 22° 59‘ Leo ☍ ♄ at 22° 59‘ Aquarius | 8:50 pm

Monday is not the chillest day of the week. It might even feel like obstacles are being placed in front of you and people are intentionally trying to make you angry. Even if they are, you get to choose how to respond.

Of course, that means making the decision not to be reactionary and looking for the lesson - because it’s always there.

Tuesday 4/12:

• ☽ at 27° 57‘ Leo ☍ ♂︎ at 27° 57‘ Aquarius | 6:16 am
• ☽ ▻ Virgo | 10:07 am
• ♃ ☌ ♆ at 23° 58‘ Pisces | 10:42 am
• ☽ at 03° 37‘ Virgo △ ☿ at 03° 37‘ Taurus | 4:54 pm
• ☉ at 23° 03‘ Aries ✳ ♄ at 23° 03‘ Aquarius  | 8:14 pm

Tuesday begins slowly with a dreamy, or delusional, undertone. Lean into the romance, the big dream, and the inspiration but wait a few days to sign any contracts or finalize any plans.

While the energy will be in effect the entire day (and to some extent, the entire week) Tuesday afternoon is likely to be more productive than the morning.

Wednesday 4/13:

• ☽ at 08° 13‘ Virgo ☍ ♀︎ at 08° 13‘ Pisces | 1:27 am
• ☽ at 13° 33‘ Virgo △ ♅ at 13° 33‘ Taurus | 11:15 am

Wednesday, remain open to new insights, ideas, and bursts of inspiration. 

Thursday 4/14:

• ☽ at 24° 02‘ Virgo ☍ ♆ at 24° 02‘ Pisces | 6:11 am
• ☽ at 24° 23‘ Virgo ☍ ♃ at 24° 23‘ Pisces | 6:48 am 
• ☽ at 28° 32‘ Virgo △ ♇ at 28° 32‘ Capricorn | 2:11 pm
• ☽ ▻ Libra | 4:46 pm
• ♂︎ ▻ Pisces | 11:05 pm

Thursday is likely to be another emotional day. If you’re feeling confused or find yourself feeling emotions deeply (whether they are subjectively good or bad), remember that taking time to process those emotions will give you time to find clarity before expressing your truth.

Tonight Mars moves into Pisces, where he will be until May 24th, which can make it more difficult to take action and go after what we want - but not impossible. 

Friday 4/15

Friday, the Moon is almost full. It’s a fantastic day for manifestation magic, especially in regards to topics related to your Libra house. With Venus so well placed and so little going on, it’s also a great night for a date or social gathering. 

Just remember, manifestation *before* the full moon is exact - not after.

Saturday 4/16:

• ☽ at 23° 20‘ Libra △ ♄ at 23° 20‘ Aquarius | 9:06 am
• Libra 🌕 Full Moon | 2:55 pm
• ☽ at 28° 33‘ Libra □ ♇ at 28° 33‘ Capricorn | 5:56 pm
• ☽ ▻ Scorpio | 8:22 pm
• ☽ at 01° 30‘ Scorpio △ ♂︎ at 01° 30‘ Pisces | 10:54 pm

Saturday is the Libra full moon with Venus, the ruler of the lunation, very well placed. Regardless of where the moon will be, you may find yourself thinking about love, beauty, art, music, harmony, balance, and other Venusian topics. 

Where in your life do you need to create greater balance? This doesn’t mean compromise or capitulating to the needs of others exclusively. It means where are *you* out of balance. Where are *your* needs not being met? What can *you* do (not what can you ask someone else to do) to bring yourself into greater alignment with what you truly want in this moment.

Sunday 4/17: 

• ☽ at 13° 21‘ Scorpio ☍ ☿ at 13° 21‘ Taurus | 6:43 pm
• ☽ at 13° 25‘ Scorpio △ ♀︎ at 13° 25‘ Pisces | 6:50 pm
• ☽ at 13° 48‘ Scorpio ☍ ♅ at 13° 48‘ Taurus | 7:27 pm
• ☿ at 13° 32‘ Taurus ✳ ♀︎ at 13° 32‘ Pisces | 9:09 pm

Sunday, remember that this has been an emotionally charged week for everyone. Continue to think before you speak and take the time you need to process any new information or insights you may have until you can communicate them with love and grace.

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 a week of dreaming up the most delicious life you can imagine and releasing anything that is holding you back from manifesting it.
