Astrology for the Week of April 18 - 24

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.

This is not a “relax by the pool” kind of week, it’s a “go out and make progress” kind of week. Even if you’re by the pool, I’d keep something nearby to take notes on as the ideas roll in.

If you want to make the most of the week, make a plan and do your best to stick to it. This week is exceptionally good for getting a lot of high-quality work done (not just a lot of planning of what you’d like to get done in order to avoid doing any work in the present moment). BUT don’t make the mistake of overscheduling and overcommitting. Make a realistic plan that gives you the necessary space to do things that support you. Yes, pleasure and rest should also be on your calendar💫

Monday 4/18: 

• ☿ ☌ ♅ at 13° 48‘ Taurus | 12:51 am
• ♀︎ at 13° 49‘ Pisces  ✳ ♅ at 13° 49‘ Taurus | 3:14 am
• ☉ at 28° 34‘ Aries □ ♇ at 28° 34‘ Capricorn | 11:14 am
• ☽ at 23° 29‘ Scorpio □ ♄ at 23° 29‘ Aquarius | 11:30 am
• ☽ at 24° 10‘ Scorpio △ ♆ at 24° 10‘ Pisces | 12:39 pm
• ☽ at 25° 21‘ Scorpio △ ♃ at 25° 21‘ Pisces | 2:36 pm
• ☽ at 28° 34‘ Scorpio ✳ ♇ at 28° 34‘ Capricorn | 7:54 pm
• ☽ ▻ Sagittarius | 10:16 pm

Monday is likely to be busy and intense. 

It’s also a bit of a preview of the eclipses that’ll be starting up at the end of the month so pay attention to how you’re feeling and what topics come up.

Tuesday 4/19:

• ☽ at 03° 09‘ Sagittarius □ ♂︎ at 03° 09‘ Pisces | 3:29 am
• ☉ ▻ Taurus | 10:24 pm

Tuesday is quietly productive. Use the last of the Aries energy to start something you’ve been putting off or take action on something you’ve been working on.

On the 30th we have a solar eclipse and most of May is rocky. While I usually focus on releasing and reflecting between the full and new moon, I’m planning on making an exception for this cycle and working my little witchy fingers off in preparation for May which is going to be significantly more challenging due to the two eclipses and Mercury retrograde. 

Tuesday night the Sun moves into Taurus. Think about all the ways you can ground (support) your energy this Taurus season & start practicing now.

Think about the things that stabilize and relax you or uplift and energize you. For me, it’s walking on the beach at dawn when I can be alone with the wind and waves,  flowers, dancing at night, extra naps, eating delicious food that is good for me, significantly less peopling, taking ridiculously good care of myself, and being very intentional with my time. 

If you’re having trouble thinking of ways to pamper yourself this Taurus season remember that Taurus is ruled by Venus and where she is in your chart can give you a lot of ideas. You can also look at your Moon for more information about how to nurture yourself. 

Wednesday 4/20:

• ☽ at 15° 55‘ Sagittarius □ ♀︎ at 15° 55‘ Pisces | 12:33 am
• ☽ at 23° 38‘ Sagittarius ✳ ♄ at 23° 38‘ Aquarius | 1:18 pm
• ☽ at 24° 14‘ Sagittarius □ ♆ at 24° 14‘ Pisces | 2:19 pm
• ☽ at 25° 49‘ Sagittarius □ ♃ at 25° 49‘ Pisces | 4:44 pm
• ☽ ▻ Capricorn | 11:52 pm

Wednesday morning is great for checking things off your to-do list but the afternoon might be a little extra. 

You, or someone in your sphere, might be feeling the urge to do things in excess or be feeling a little extra emotional. Nothing is ever as bad or as good as it seems so breathe through it and try to stick to the plan. 

If you’re feeling a little off course, spend some time thinking about what would really move you ahead (even a tiny bit) and make (or revise) a plan for Thursday and Friday.

Thursday 4/21:

• ☽ at 01° 06‘ Capricorn △ ☉ at 01° 06‘ Taurus | 1:42 am
• ☽ at 04° 48‘ Capricorn ✳ ♂︎ at 04° 48‘ Pisces | 7:52 am
• ☽ at 14° 02‘ Capricorn △ ♅ at 14° 02‘ Taurus | 11:18 pm

Thursday the Moon is in Capricorn which is usually one of the more difficult placements. However, all of the planets are supporting the Moon which makes it a phenomenal day for getting a lot of work accomplished.

If you know your chart, this is especially good for your Pisces and Taurus houses. If you’re not sure what that means for you, I’m now available for individual sessions. You can learn more here.

Friday 4/22:

• ☽ at 18° 26‘ Capricorn ✳ ♀︎ at 18° 26‘ Pisces | 6:42 am
• ☽ at 21° 07‘ Capricorn △ ☿ at 21° 07‘ Taurus | 11:13 am
• ☽ at 24° 18‘ Capricorn ✳ ♆ at 24° 18‘ Pisces | 4:37 pm
• ☽ at 26° 17‘ Capricorn ✳ ♃ at 26° 17‘ Pisces | 7:58 pm

Friday is another lovely day filled with easy productivity for those who are following a plan.

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I love Fridays. They are the day of Venus and unless something has gone horribly wrong with the astrology of the day, I think they’re the best night of the week for dates and other pleasurable and slightly indulgent activities.

I fully plan on having a productive week and spending Friday night in pursuit of Venus. However, the Moon will be moving towards a conjunction with Pluto which can bring up some wickedly honest conversations. If that’s not your idea of a fun night, proceed with caution.

Saturday 4/23:

• ☽ ▻ Aquarius | 2:17 am

Saturday the Moon is in Aquarius shining a spotlight on that area of your chart that’s been a little more challenging over the past month and to a greater extent the past couple of years as you redefine what you want in this area of your life. Especially as it relates to your Taurus and Scorpio houses. 

It’s a quiet day filled with opportunities to reflect on the changes and progress you’ve made and what else needs to be done. 

Sunday 4/24: 

• ☽ at 14° 09‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 14° 09‘ Taurus | 2:35 am
• ☿ at 23° 53‘ Taurus □ ♄ at 23° 53‘ Aquarius | 9:49 am
• ☿ at 24° 22‘ Taurus ✳ ♆ at 24° 22‘ Pisces | 6:37 pm
• ☽ ☌ ♄ at 23° 54‘ Aquarius | 7:33 pm
• ☽ at 24° 29‘ Aquarius □ ☿ at 24° 29‘ Taurus | 8:33 pm

I’ve been recommending planning and execution of the plan all week but Sunday is a little different. Don’t get me wrong, planning is still in the mix (especially as it relates to Taurus/Aquarius themes) but next week has some really delightful Pisces action happening. 

Sunday afternoon devote some time to thinking and dreaming about what you want in addition to thinking about strategy and tactics. 

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 stamina and focus necessary to achieve your dreams without developing a rigid fixation on their form.
