Dear friend,
Are you ready for some surprises?
April’s astrology is— EVENTFUL!
Not only do we have a Mercury retrograde in Aries for almost the entire month from April 1st to April 25th, yet we’re also still in Eclipse season, with a Solar Eclipse in Aries happening on April 8th!
With Mercury retrograde and eclipse season overlapping— there is this push-pull energy. Mercury retrograde wants us to slow down, whereas eclipse season wants us to speed up.
This particular Mercury retrograde is quite healing, with Chiron also in the sign of Aries. Old wounds are resurfacing now for you to feel through and heal.
People from your past may reach back out— yet it may not be the people you expect.
You’re not going to be the same person you are after April.
This upcoming Solar Eclipse in Aries is quite special, vulnerable, and healing on its own. This will create a brand new beginning for you in one area of your life.
We also have a rare Jupiter-Uranus conjunction happening in the sign of Taurus on April 20th, which will bring in some SURPRISING opportunties, innovation, and breakthroughs! I shared how this will affect your Rising and Sun sign into this in your 2024 horoscope.
I dive deeper into how this affects you in your free monthly overview podcast episode above!

The week ahead
04.01.2024 — 04.07.2024
🪐 Monday April 1st
Mercury retrograde in Aries begins the same day as April fool’s day!
What better way to say— we’ll have some miscommunication?
Mercury is the planet of thinking and communication, and when it goes retrograde, we can experience technical mishaps, delays, and misunderstandings.
In the sign of Aries, this Mercury retrograde will be deeply reflective on who you are, who you want to be, and how you can see yourself as worthy of what you desire.
Please note that— people can be quick tempered right now.
With both Mercury retrograde and eclipse season, a lot of people can feel impulsive, sensitive, burnt out, and on edge since this is intense energy.
The moon is in Capricorn this day, helping us feel grounded in nature, work, and our rituals. Having a strategic plan for your work, or just having designated breaks can feel soothing.
🪐 Wednesday April 3rd
On Wednesday, Venus is conjunct Neptune in Pisces, giving us some beautiful, romantic energy!
This is a great time to go on a date or have a photoshoot!
However, be careful that our relationships and finances can feel a bit confusing with this energy. Someone may not be completely honest, or there can be some misunderstandings on how you’re spending or receiving money.
This is a lovely day to appreciate art, make art, or get in touch with your spiritual routine! A yoga class, meditation practice or a paint event feels extra fitting.
With the Moon in Aquarius, what is very nourishing for us mid week are friendships, community, and forward-thinking ideas. This is a great day for you to catch up with a friend, attend a community event, or brainstorm new ideas for something you’re passionate about!
🪐 Friday April 5th
On Friday, Venus enters Aries, shifting how we approach what we value, and how we show love and affection collectively.
With Venus in Aries, we’re valuing being more passionate, forward and flirty! This energy is bold, adventurous, and impulsive!
We also have the Sun conjunct the North node in Aries this day, helping us see where we are aligned in our life. Take note of what happens to you this day, as things can feel a bit more kismet and destined.
Events that transpire are helping you understand what you’re being pulled towards based on your desires.
People that you interact with this day can help you understand your higher purpose in an affirming way.
The moon in Pisces is making us feel dreamy, emotional and sensitive. We're feeling nourished through music, art, and sharing our vulnerabilities with others.
Later in the evening, the moon meets up with Mars in Pisces, which can cause us to feel a lot more emotional tension. We can act based on our emotions, which may not be exactly what we need. Try not to be reactive this day.
Take time to self soothe if you feel emotional, like crying it out if you need to, taking a bubble bath, or dancing it out.

POETRY CORNER
I’ll tell you now that
it’s not easy
to break the string
that binds us
we have tasted
what love
can actually be
this moment in time

but
just remember
nothing will ever
be the same
