Wednesday, April 16. Mercury movies into Aries
This week kicks off with Mercury transitioning into Aries, bringing a newfound clarity to our thoughts and communications. After the nebulous vibes of Pisces, we’re now equipped with a sharp, decisive mindset. This shift, particularly at the impactful zero degrees of Aries—often called the “world point”—is significant. With Neptune recently entering Aries, Mercury today, and Venus and Saturn set to follow, this cosmic dance is a precursor to the anticipated conjunction of Neptune and Saturn in 2026. Pay attention to the themes emerging for you during these transits. Reflect on where zero degrees of Aries land in your natal chart to understand its impact on your life.
Thursday, April 17: Mercury Conjunct Neptune
Today, Mercury aligns with Neptune in Aries, igniting a wave of creative energy. This is an ideal moment for innovative thinking, especially for writers, artists, and musicians. Take advantage of this fertile imagination if you’re working on marketing, literature, or music projects—particularly in genres like fantasy or sci-fi. The inspiration you feel now could spark significant breakthroughs, but remember, this energy remains potent for a few days, so take advantage while it lasts.
Friday, April 18: Mars Enters Leo
Happy Good Friday! Mars makes a vibrant leap into Leo, a shift that feels invigorating after its prolonged stay in the more emotional sign of Cancer. This transition marks a fresh start, empowering us to chase our goals with renewed vigor. With all planets currently direct and Mars flexing its muscles in Leo, expect a surge of motivation—perfect for physical activities or pursuing creative endeavors. However, watch out for the potential egotism that can accompany Mars in this fiery sign. Remember to keep your ambitions balanced and mindful of others.
Saturday, April 19: The Sun Moves into Taurus & Mars Trines Neptune
Happy birthday to all Taurus individuals! As the Sun settles into Taurus, we may feel a heightened awareness of our safety and security needs. Some may indulge in the pleasures of shopping or fine dining. Additionally, with Mars forming a supportive trine to Neptune, this is a time for idealistic pursuits. If you’re inspired to advocate for a cause, ensure that your information is reliable before diving into action. Instead of engaging in conflicts, consider channeling this energy into charitable physical activities—think of sponsorships for a cause that resonates deeply with you.
Sunday, April 20: Easter Sunday!
A complex Sunday awaits, filled with opportunities for unexpected encounters and passionate discussions. Venus sextile Uranus could spark surprising romantic or social experiences, while Mercury sextile Pluto allows for deep, transformative conversations. However, be cautious of oversharing—the Sun square Mars fixed energy can lead to unfiltered thoughts that might spark conflict. With strong opinions floating around, remember that trying to change someone’s viewpoint may not be fruitful. Instead, safeguard your thoughts for a peaceful outcome.
