Astrology Forecast for the Week of April 4, 2022 – April 10, 2022

Leave a reply

The astrology forecast for the week of April 4, 2022 through April 10, 2022 features four major aspects (Mars conjunct Saturn, Mercury sextile Saturn, Mercury sextile Mars, and Mercury square Pluto) and Venus and Mercury change signs.

So, the cosmos picks up speed this week. Let’s dive right in!

Cosmic Overview

The headliner this week is Venus moving out of Aquarius and into Pisces, the sign of her exaltation. This is good news, because Venus has been in Saturn ruled signs (Capricorn and Aquarius) since November 5, 2021, and she has been copresent with Mars and Saturn in Aquarius (part of the time besieged) since early March.

So, now Venus is free to do her thing, and since she is copresent with Jupiter (also in Pisces), we should begin to see a lightening of the energy and improvements in love and finances.  Also, note the house where Pisces is located in your chart, and the two houses that Venus (Taurus and Libra) rules, because they will also see an upswing.

The positive way to work with Venus in Pisces (because there are dysfunctional applications like codependency and idealization) is to use this energy to improve relationships, and this may include some necessary self-sacrifice.

All relationships go through troubles, difficulties, and sometimes get off track. Now is an excellent time to do some inner work to see where your relationships problem areas are, and do what you can to improve them. Since Venus is in Pisces, the ability to empathize and be compassionate is amplified, which allows compromises to occur and healing to begin.  Remember, Venus will also be in Pisces for your partner, so it’s easier to achieve reciprocity in relationships. If compromises cannot be achieved, the healing may begin when you accept the relationship is beyond repair, and that you need to begin loving yourself by making difficult decisions about your relationship’s future.

There is one warning: when working on relationship issues and compromising, do not lose sight of your boundaries.

Daily Breakdown

Monday April 4, 2022

We start the week off with a nasty Mars-Saturn configuration.  Mars conjoin Saturn is extremely frustrating, and it feels like driving with your brakes on. You may feel that people are obstructing or working against you, and you may need to push away negative thoughts if they surface. On a more positive note, this aspect is good for work that requires stamina and focus.

Tuesday, April 5, 2022

In addition to Venus moving into Pisces, the Moon moves through chatty Gemini. You will feel the need to socialize and share your ideas and opinions with your inner circle or network. Perhaps an afternoon lunch or playdate is on the menu.

Wednesday, April 6, 2022

The Moon continues to move through Gemini and forms beneficial aspects to the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn. It’s an excellent day for business related matters, especially if contracts and legal negotiations are involved. Furthermore, if you need to resolve a legal matter, this is a great day to begin the process of getting that done.

Thursday, April 7, 2022

Mercury in Aries forms a helpful sextile to Saturn in Aquarius. This is an auspicious day to take an honest look at your life and see what needs to change. Sometimes, we get caught up in our daily rituals, so that we fail to take a moment to do an honest inventory of our lives.  Mercury sextile Saturn is the perfect aspect to do so. Additionally, Mercury sextile Saturn is an excellent time to work on projects that require precision and focus.

Friday, April 8, 2022

Mercury in Aries sextiles Mars in Aquarius. Issues that may have occurred on Monday due to Mars’s conjunction with Saturn will have the opportunity to be resolved, as long as you are willing to negotiate. You may need to put your ego on a shelf, at least momentarily, and use careful thought to achieve results. Furthermore, Mercury sextile Mars gives you the initiative to take advantage of any opportunities you are presented with at this time. Since this aspect is favorable, matters will usually turn out positive. So, if you need to act, don’t hesitate to do so.

Saturday, April 9, 2022

The Moon moves through Cancer and during the morning hours forms a lovely trine to Jupiter and Neptune. It’s a great day for family activities, and checking in on your relatives. If you need to do any home repairs, today would be an excellent day to get them done.  However, be on guard this evening because the Moon squares Mercury, and minor communication issues are likely to occur.

Sunday, April 10, 2022

The end of the week brings us two cosmic events – Mercury in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn, and Mercury leaves the sign of the ram and heads into earthy Taurus.

During the early morning hours, Mercury squares Pluto.  Mercury square Pluto is a tricky aspect, because it’s extremely compulsive and leans towards obsessive thought patterns.  Try to avoid pushing your view on others, because it may lead to potentially unnecessary conflicts. If you are obsessed with an idea or have intrusive thought patterns, use distraction or self-soothing to minimize their effects.

Later in the day, Mercury moves out of Aries and into Taurus. Rather than understanding life through potentials and possibilities, we are now face to face with the real world of facts. While Mercury is in Taurus, it’s an excellent time to slow down and investigate matters before coming to a decision. Use careful thought and consideration at this time.

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of March 28, 2022 – April 3, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of March 28, 2022 through April 3, 2022 features the major planetary aspects (Venus conjunct Saturn and Sun conjunct Mercury) and the New Moon in Aries.

The cosmos slows down for the end of March, but watch out Venus conjunct Saturn can be a bit of a downer!

Speaking of which…

Cosmic Overview

The aspect of the week is Venus conjunct Saturn in Aquarius. So, the primary theme of the week will involve relationships (all of them).

Now, despite the magical belief about relationships – you know, when you meet ‘the one’ and everything in life becomes perfect – relationships are hard work.  Sure, relationships can be exciting and fulfilling, but there are times when real world demands shatter our ideals of romantic bliss, and problems begin to occur.  Venus in hard aspect to Saturn is when they are often triggered.

We all go through struggles, and those struggles usually occur outside of relationships. They may be career-related, financial, medical, or familial, but we all have things we are dealing with regularly. Venus conjunct Saturn indicates a cycle when those worldly issues (Saturn) can affect our relationships, and even how we relate to our partners individually. Furthermore, when Venus conjoins Saturn, you may feel isolated and alone, which can complicate matters more.  

Working with Venus/Saturn requires honesty and realism. You may need to look at your life and what your relationships currently mean to you. Often, insight into ways to get your needs met while handling life’s circumstances is a productive way to get what you require from your partners, and that gut-level open communication can relieve some of the struggle. However, you need to also be cognizant of whether your reactions to the real world may alienate your partner because you are so focused on your own issues, and you are not receptive to them or their needs.

The good news is that if you put in the work, your relationships will become more stable and fulfilling. You can create a stronger support system to deal with your struggles.  All that is required is working with your relationships, not against them.

Daily Breakdown

Monday, March 28, 2022

We start the week off with the Moon in social Aquarius. It’s a great day to reach out to your support system if you are dealing with life’s difficulties and seek emotional support. Your connection to your friends and inner circle may prove pivotal over the next few days. Also, be prepared, Venus conjoins Saturn (see above) later this afternoon.

Tuesday, March 29, 2022

The Moon moves into emotional Pisces during the early morning hours. You will be more sensitive to the needs of others, and your intuition will be heightened. This evening, the Moon sextiles Uranus, and it’s an excellent time to take a break from the real world and do something exciting.

Wednesday, March 30, 2022

The Moon continues its monthly trip through Pisces and conjoins Jupiter and Neptune. Your mood should be positive, and you will be sympathetic to the needs of others. One warning – before you make a major decision, check and verify the facts and make sure everything is kosher.

Thursday, March 31, 2022

The Moon moves into fiery and energetic Aries as she prepares to go into New Moon mode. You may notice an increase in your energy levels, and your endurance may be increased. It’s an excellent day to accomplish things that require more determination. Focus on getting the win!

Friday, April 1, 2022

The New Moon occurs early this morning in Aries. This is the heart of Aries season, when the potential of the season is the most potent, and this period is active from April 1, 2022 until April 15, 2022. This New Moon is about your personal agenda and going after what you want in your life. You can look at this New Moon as your moment to plant seeds for the rest of the year. On the practical level, use this New Moon to start new projects, remove obstacles from your life, increase your personal potency, and break away from negative influences. In other words, the Aries New Moon is all about you, so take advantage of it.

Saturday, April 2, 2022

On Saturday, the Sun conjoins Mercury in Aries. This is a perfect start to the weekend, especially if you want to let your hair down and have some fun. You will want to socialize and connect with others, and your mood should be positive. It’s also an excellent day for business related matters and making plans for the future.

Sunday, April 3, 2022

We close the week with the Moon moving through Taurus. It’s a good day to kick back, relax, and enjoy your life. Since the Moon is in pleasurable Taurus, it’s also recommended you enjoy something you love. Perhaps a tasty treat, a bottle of wine, or something savory and decadent.  Just save something for me. Enjoy!

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of March 21, 2022 – March 27, 2022

Leave a reply

The astrology forecast for the week of March 21, 2022 through March 27, 2022 features four major aspects (Mercury conjunct Jupiter, Mars square Uranus, Mercury conjunct Neptune, and Mercury sextile Pluto) and Mercury moves out of Pisces and into fiery Aries.

Now, that’s a heck of a lot of Mercury energy this week. Let’s dive right in.

Cosmic Overview

Although Mercury is a big player, the most potent aspect of the week is Mars in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus. Mars square Uranus is an extremely volatile aspect, and it’s hard (even in the most conscious of people) to contain.  You may feel a need to break free from situations in your life where you feel controlled and restrained. Acting impulsively and reacting to external circumstances may need to be tempered so that you do not do any lasting damage to your life. It’s necessary to be as proactive as possible, and try to manage your emotions the best you can.

If you can control your impulses, Mars square Uranus can be useful. This aspect often reveals the areas of life where you feel discouraged and dissatisfied.  Understanding the root of your restlessness can help you make positive and meaningful changes in your life. The key is working with this energy productively, and not letting it work you.

Finally, Mars square Uranus is accident prone.  Try to be aware of what you are doing, especially when you are driving and handling equipment. A hard hat may be necessary!

Daily Breakdown

Monday, March 21, 2022

We start the week with a lovely conjunction of Mercury and Jupiter in Pisces. Since this aspect lands in the sign of the fishes, you may notice your creative energies are surging more than usual, which is a good thing, especially if you are in a line of work that occasionally needs a dose of “something extra”.

Mercury conjunct Jupiter is an extremely useful aspect. Your mood should be optimistic, and your outlook on life is mostly positive. You can see the big picture, and you can make the most of it. Mercury-Jupiter aspects are great for business activities and goal setting. So, make sure you take advantage of the energy while it’s available.

Tuesday, March 22, 2022

Mars forms a frustrating square to Uranus in Taurus. Expect the energy today to be intense and volatile. Try to avoid people that push your buttons, and be as proactive as possible. Also, be careful in your daily activities, because Mars square Uranus is accident prone.

Wednesday, March 23, 2022

Mercury conjoins Neptune in Pisces, and your imagination, creative juices, and intuition will be amplified. It’s an excellent day to work on creative projects or participate in spiritual activities. The only drawback is that it may be difficult to articulate your thoughts and ideas to others. Conversely, it may be difficult to understand others, and miscommunication may occur. Make sure you verify facts before making a major decision.

Thursday, March 24, 2022

The Moon spends most of the day void of course in Sagittarius. It’s best not to start any new projects or make firm agreements until the Moon moves into Capricorn later today (5:54 PM EST/2:54 PM PST). The void of course Moon lacks momentum, and usually nothing comes of matters initiated at this time.

Friday, March 25, 2022

The Moon moves through productive Capricorn. It’s an excellent day to focus on work and career related matters. Later in the day, the Moon forms a lovely trine to Uranus. It’s an excellent night to do something spontaneous and outside the box.

Saturday, March 26, 2022

Mercury forms a beneficial sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. Mercury sextile Pluto is useful to solve problems that may require intense focus and probing beneath the surface. You may receive insight into yourself or others that creates lasting change in your life. Mercury-Pluto aspects are also excellent for projects that require research and detective skills, because it will help you dig beneath the surface and discover the truth.

Sunday, March 27, 2022

We close the week with Mercury moving out of Pisces and into fiery Aries. Mercury in a fire sign is concerned with potentials and possibilities, and you may receive insights that you can use to your personal advantage. While Mercury is in the sign of the ram, your mental energies are increased if you are passionate about your ideas and inspired to use them. Mercury remains in Aries until April 10th.

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the week of March 14, 2022 – March 20, 2022

Leave a reply

The astrology forecast for the week of March 14, 2022 through March 20, 2022 features two major aspects (Mercury sextile Uranus, Venus square Uranus), the change of the seasons as the Sun moves into Aries, and a Full Moon in Virgo.

So, once again, the cosmos picks up steam.  Let’s dive right in.

Cosmic Overview

The aspect of the week occurs on Saturday as Venus in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus. I’m going to be blunt (okay, I’m known for that): if you are inflexible in your relationships, must have your own way, or do not like to compromise, then Venus square Uranus is difficult – very difficult. However, if you are flexible and can compromise with your partners (all of them), Venus square Uranus can enhance your relationships significantly.

The planet Uranus likes progress, not stagnation. When Uranus is in a hard aspect to Venus, and your relationships are stuck in a rut and not growing, he tends to shake things up.

Now, the key to working with Venus square Uranus is to shake things up on your own. Venus-Uranus likes excitement, so doing different activities, exploring new things, and adding new elements to keep your relationships fresh will help mitigate many of the more troublesome manifestations of the aspect.

In addition to love, Venus rules money. You may want to keep a watch on your expenditures, because unexpected expenses may occur. Furthermore, this is not the best time to make impulsive investments.

Daily Breakdown

Monday, March 14, 2022

We start the week with the Moon moving through fiery Leo and it creates a tense configuration to Venus and Uranus. You may experience some minor tension in relationships that may leave you feeling anxious or ill at ease. Insecurities and self-doubt may surface, but be proactive when this occurs. Also, note what is worrying you because it may be a major indicator of what needs to be worked on when Venus squares Uranus later in the week.

Tuesday, March 15, 2022

The Moon will spend most of the day void of course in Leo. Avoid signing documents, making firm agreements, or starting anything new. Void of course moons lack sufficient energy to keep momentum flowing, so usually nothing comes of the matter. The Moon moves into Virgo early Wednesday morning.

Wednesday, March 16, 2022

The Moon moves into dutiful Virgo. Although it may not be the most exciting day of the week, it is excellent to get out your to do list and get things done. The Virgo Moon is also great for focusing on health-related matters, starting a business plan, and hitting the gym. Getting energy moving through your body is a good thing – not necessarily fun, but good.

Thursday, March 17, 2022

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! On Thursday, we have our first aspect of the week as Mercury sextiles Uranus. It’s a day for excitement and new discoveries. Take some time out today to do something different and out of the box for you. Exploring new things helps to keep the mind alive and will help to refresh your soul.

Friday, March 18, 2022

The Full Moon occurs today in the sign of Virgo. You can use this cycle to break bad habits, remove negative or obsessive thought patterns, prepare to leave a toxic work situation, or to clean up your side of the street to successfully prepare for something new. Since this Full Moon is in opposition to Neptune, you can also use this Full Moon to conquer addictions.

Saturday, March 19, 2022

In addition to Venus squaring Uranus, the Moon moves through relationship-oriented Libra. It’s an excellent day to focus on your relationships and what you can do to make them better. On Saturday evening, the Moon trines Saturn, and it’s the perfect time to tie up loose ends, and get things off your to do list.

Sunday, March 20, 2022

We close the week with the Sun moving out of Pisces and into Aries. Aries is the beginning of the astrological New Year. It’s an auspicious day to focus on what you would like to achieve over the next year and develop strategies to get results. Anything is possible, you just need the gumption to do it.

See you next week!

Cosmic Weather Forecast – April 15, 2019 – April 21, 2019

After the intensive energy from last week, this week will be a welcomed relief.

So, take a deep breath and just breathe and enjoy it.

The big news this week is that the Sun moves out of Aries and into earthy Taurus.  Astrologically speaking, we fly down from the heavenly world of potential and possibilities and land firmly on the earth and we enter the world of reality.

Taurus is about the here and now. The past is dead and cannot be influenced and the future is not important as long as everything remains unchanged and reliable.  In fact, during Taurus season, it’s productive to concentrate on the moment and focusing on what you can influence in the now. The sign of the bull ushers in a cycle of focusing on things you can personally grow, like your bank account, a flower garden, or your investments.  It’s also an auspicious time to set realistic goals that you can accomplish in a short period of time.

This year, the Taurean Sun lands in the 10th house of the world chart.  The 10th house is associated with our careers, but on a more mundane level, you could say the 10th house is about all the adjectives and labels in our lives, such as being a doctor, an astrologer, a parent, the head of the PTA, or a good person.  In the world chart, the Sun forms a conjunction to disruptive Uranus, so this Taurus season is about changing the labels we associate with that are no longer working and associating with something new that represents who we are now.  Taurus is very resistant to change, but the more you fight Uranus the more disruptive change can be.  Take a deep look at your associations over the next month and let go of the ones that no longer have value, which may require a leap of faith, but fosters productive growth of your most important commodity – yourself.

Now, on with the forecast…

So, I recently had a client that went through some extreme circumstances and during a coaching session, she asked me what was the psychological reason for experiences, in general?

I am sure that we have all asked ourselves this question at one point or another, and since there are astrological contributors this week that may bring about difficult experiences, I figured that I would attempt to answer it here.

Let me first say that I believe that the astrological chart describes a natural unfoldment of potential that is triggered by transits, progressions, and other astrological prognosticative tools, that provide opportunities for the chart to manifest and the individual to become a well-rounded individual.  The experiences we have, as a result of our natal chart, bring triggered, whether for good or ill, helps to navigate this unfoldment process.  Secondly, I believe that awareness of the daily astrological energies gives us the ability to consciously integrate astrological energies and make them useful in our lives, which is the point of transformational astrology. Experiences, triggered by astrological factors, serve the overall pattern that ultimately allows us to develop according to the natural laws that are essentially part of our inner design or plan.

Now, the reason this question is pertinent to this week’s astrology is that the Sun makes difficult aspects to both astrological ‘bad boys,’ Saturn (4/10) and Pluto (4/13).  The Sun is the governing body of the chart and when the Sun undergoes difficulties, then we usually experience them in the outer world first, through our experiences, and then we experience them inwardly by internally processing experiences and ultimately making changes when necessary.  In the case of Saturn, frustrations and limitations may lead to depression or feeling stymied and restricted.  In the case of Pluto, feelings of being controlled or dominated by outside influences may feel overwhelming, and at times, terrifying.  However, both planets, whether we like it or not, serve a purpose.  Saturn tells us to be dutiful and responsible; whereas Pluto tells us to release everything that is no longer usable or is preventing our further development.  The good news is that when you work with these two planets, you bring out their productive natures and ultimately feel more secure, stable, and your life transforms into what you want it to be.

In other cosmic news, Jupiter has been moving through Sagittarius since late last year, and this week will begin its annual retrograde cycle.  Jupiter in Sagittarius is about our beliefs and understanding of life, and a future that is filled with potential and creative possibilities that are better than what we have now.  So, when Jupiter goes retrograde (4/10) it reflects a cycle when we should question and review our core beliefs to see whether they are still useful.  If they are not, then you are given an opportunity to explore new beliefs and ideas that may resonate with who you are now.  This allows you to pursue life with more freedom and develop your true potential.  Jupiter remains retrograde until August 11th.

Now, on with the forecast…

It’s going to be a slow week in the cosmos, which may be a welcomed relief for some.  We have two sign changes, one planetary aspect, and a planetary directional change.

So, the big newsmaker is Mercury turning direct in Pisces on March 28th, and based upon my social media feeds, and for many, it couldn’t happen any sooner.  It’s been a rough retrograde, but let me tell you a secret, I hear that every Mercury retrograde.

Mercury turning direct means that communication difficulties will improve but will take until April 17th to be completely resolved.  However, the matters that Mercury retrograde befuddles – travel plans, electronic devices, making important decisions, purchases, and moving forward with plans can proceed.

On a more personal level, you need to review the last three weeks and see if any themes kept repeating, so you can make changes where they are necessary.  Journaling work and talking through issues with a trusted friend or confidant can be helpful when working through issues Mercury retrograde dredged to the surface.

So, this week we begin a new solar astrological cycle as the Sun moves out of watery Pisces and into fiery Aries.  Let the season of spring begin!

The sign of Aries is perhaps the most individual of all the astrological signs because it represents that burst of energy that creates life.  Practically speaking, Aries season reflects a cycle of leaving the past behind and creating a new beginning by taking charge of our lives.

Aries is probably the most competitive of the astrological signs.  It likes to win, and we can use this energy to create objectives and goals that we can achieve.  You only need to infuse it with a dash of ambition, a peppering of confidence, and a scoopful of determination.

While we are in Aries season, it’s a beneficial time to focus on what you would like to accomplish and what reforms you would like over the next year.  This week we are provided with two planetary assists – Mars in Taurus trine Pluto in Capricorn.  Both configurations occur before the Sun moves into Aries on Wednesday and gives us a cosmic boost to see what is wrong, what we are unhappy with, and what needs to be reformed.  It’s best to take advantage of this while you can.

In other astrological news, we have a Full Moon in Libra.  Libra is the sign of relationships and when the Full Moon falls in the sign of the scales, it’s time to get rid of the relationships in our lives that are no longer working.  As Marie Kondo says, if it doesn’t bring you joy or make you happy, get rid of it.  You can use this same philosophy in relationships.

Now, on with the forecast…
