Dear friend,
Are you ready for a shift in energy?
This week's energy is really shaking things up!
Venus & Uranus both move into Gemini, and we’re moving past some difficult, tense energy.
Expect the unexpected!
A lot of this past week could have felt a bit more chaotic, sober and tense, especially with that Mars-Saturn conjunction we just had in Aries.
However, with Taurus season beginning, we're going to slow things down, and start to really enjoy the material world.
There can be some very difficult conversations with people around your identity, and your self-worth coming up now. These conversations are coming up for you to heal.
The upcoming Full moon in Scorpio has a lot of themes around healing, grief, loss, and processing the past. This is transformative energy to help you move forward if you know how to use it, which can make space for new opportunities, more love, more peace.
Watch the full astrology forecast above!

On Monday, we fully enter Taurus season. This is going to be a much slower energy than Aries season. We still have an Aries stellium in the sky, however with Taurus season beginning, we’re going to slow things down.
A lot of the past week could have felt a bit more chaotic and a bit more tense, especially with that Mars-Saturn conjunction we just had in Aries. What we’re really going to be focusing on is getting grounded and really understanding how to pace ourselves. Doing small steps every day instead of rushing or being a bit more impulsive with our decisions can be really helpful.
Taurus season is so lovely because we’re really trying to focus on our values, more love, how we can increase our finances, and how we can really relish in the material world. Taurus is ruled by Venus, so there’s this lovely, beautiful energy of wanting to show more love and affection.
On the same day, we have Mercury conjunct Saturn in Aries, and then Mercury will conjunct Mars in Aries. This is a bit uncomfortable. The 20th is a bit more of a tense day where you could be having some very difficult conversations with people. This could be more specifically towards your structures and systems around how you see yourself, your identity, or what this means for you in terms of authority. This could be a time when you’re having a difficult conversation with a client, a boss, a parent, a mentor. You’re feeling as though there’s some serious things you have to discuss. With Mars in the mix, we’re really contemplating, okay, am I working in a more efficient way? Is there a way I can work better, or is there a way where I can be less reactive around my decisions and be more proactive?

On Friday, we have Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus, and this is going to give us some very shocking, unexpected things that are coming up with our finances, self-worth, and self-value. With Venus conjunct Uranus, expect the unexpected!
This could give you a really good breakthrough around your finances. This could give you a really good breakthrough around how you are approaching your dating life, how you are approaching your relationships. This looks very material, so something unexpected could come up with an unexpected expense. You could get an unexpected client. You could be in a place where you get an unexpected payment from someone. Venus conjunct Uranus is asking you to think differently when it comes to your finances and your relationships. If you’ve been kind of stuck in a box, if you’ve been confused about how to make more money, or you’ve been in a state of wanting to date but something has been stopping you subconsciously, this could be a really good day to receive those downloads around how you need to change things up and step outside of your comfort zone.
Later this day, Venus enters the sign of Gemini and this is quite flirty! Venus is the planet of values, love, and finances. With Venus moving into Gemini, this is going to really shift how we communicate our values, how we express love, and how we connect with others in a more playful, curious, and social way.
Saturday, April 25th /
On Saturday, we have the Sun in Taurus in a square to Pluto in Aquarius. This feels a bit intense. This feels like you have to make a change in your life when it comes to your finances, your self-worth, your self-value, and how this could be different than your friends, your community, your network.
Maybe perhaps you’re realizing, okay, I have to save my money differently based on what you’re dreaming of for the future, and now you have to budget in a different way. This could also look like maybe perhaps you’re going out with a group of friends and you want to pay for the bill in a different way. This could also be you finally asking your boss for a raise or getting that conversation going, which can be super, super beneficial.
This is a really powerful day to really reflect on your values and how you can step into more financial empowerment.
Sunday, April 26th /
On Sunday, we have Uranus entering the sign of Gemini, and this is one of the biggest transits of this year! Uranus in Gemini is really going to shake things up for us collectively when it comes to your friendship groups, how you communicate with other people, what you learn and how you absorb information. Uranus is the planet of breakthroughs, unique genius, and also how we protest and fight against what is right. I will say we can feel a bit more overly stimulated when Uranus is in Gemini, and it can also confuse us in terms of what we want to focus on. This will change one area of your life completely.
You can find out what this means for you in your 2026 horoscope!
On the same day, we have Mercury in Aries in a square to Jupiter in Cancer. This could be a day where you feel a bit overwhelmed by having a lot of different conversations. You could feel like everybody wants to talk to you this day! This feels like maybe perhaps you’re having conversations around your childhood, your upbringing, your home, your family, and how it’s made you the person that you are. There’s still some luck and opportunity here, yet it’s you witnessing your own growth, and that in itself can be very, very uplifting.
We also have Venus in Gemini in a sextile to Neptune in Aries. This is a very romantic energy! With this energy, you could feel as though you’re a bit more inclined to go on a romantic date, or maybe perhaps you want to fantasize more about what love means to you. This is a day where you could be connecting with friends or your network and you’re just feeling as though it’s a bit more of this artistic connection or a spiritual connection.

This Full moon in Scorpio is taking place on May 1st at 1:22pm EST. This is an energy where you’re ending a huge pivotal chapter in your life.
What was happening for you around November 20th, 2025? That was when we had the new moon in Scorpio. So now, six months later, you’re getting more clarity on something you started at that time.
Full moons are all about release and closure, so emotions can feel very heightened. This full moon in Scorpio looks like you’re having some very intense conversations with people. These conversations can feel a bit more healing, yet they can feel as though you’re in a place of processing some difficult emotions around your sense of worthiness. Mercury is conjunct Chiron during this full moon in Scorpio, so these conversations can feel a bit triggering. However, these triggers are coming up for you to heal. They’re showing you, okay, there’s something I still need to process from my past that I still need to let go of.
With this full moon in Scorpio, some secrets can be revealed to you. Themes around healing, around grief and loss, and processing the past are highlighted right now. There’s also a lot of themes around your investments, your loans, your shared resources, and intimacy. This is such a helpful full moon in understanding in which ways are you self-sabotaging, in which ways are you leaking your energy. Scorpio energy wants us to transform. It wants a rebirth. The modern day ruler of Scorpio is Pluto, so there’s a lot here with this full moon in understanding more about what we cannot see, and understanding in which ways have you been restricting yourself. This is a full moon to move forward, to understand your growth over the last six months, and to recognize, okay, I now need to step into a new version of myself to embrace this new era of my life.
