Imagine the force of gravity triggered when a very full bathtub\u2019s drain plug is pulled. The spiraling sucking motion is strong and efficient enough to empty a basin in minutes. April\u2019s energy progresses with similar momentum designed to filter out and dispose of standing water. What\u2019s left is an empty space, a little more than a void, perhaps revealing a few stains or dirt left over to address.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last month\u2019s Libra Lunar Eclipse on March 25th<\/strong> pulled the plug on stagnant puddles hanging around since October 2023, kicking off the first eclipse season of 2024. This is the sort of stuff impossible to ignore engendering a good week of surrender (and probably more than a little emo moping). That is, until a sense of sunny responsibility kicks in on April 1st with the onset of Mercury Retrograde in fiery Aries. Lasting until April 25th<\/strong>, this typically pesky transit takes on an uber-helpful energy guiding us Earthlings to correct our mistakes, big and small, with gusto and purpose. It\u2019s why pencils have erasers, baby!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By April 4th<\/strong>, the world feels new with the Sun, Mercury, and Venus thrusting forth in Aries. The energy of reinvention is palatable, intoxicating for some, and definitely overdue in the last six months. But objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear. A Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 8th<\/strong> adds speed and force to our plans, suddenly magnifying far-off aspirations\u2014dots on the horizon\u2014into clear and present focus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taurus season, beginning on April 19th<\/strong>, spells luck with a capital L. But not the dumb kind that comes with a nagging sense of being undeserved. A Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus on April 20th<\/strong> reminds you that you\u2019ve worked hard enough to crack the code on good fortune, sparking breakthroughs and windfalls that set you up for the long term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve lived through enough storms to fill your rain barrels with experience. Siphon those waters of collected optimism to nullify the emotional sting of a Scorpio Full Moon on April 23rd<\/strong>. There\u2019s a dark flavor to this lunation but a transformational one, potentially uncovering past betrayal and untrustworthy individuals. You had a feeling about this. A few drops of venom can be powerful medicine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Venus comes home to Taurus on April 29th<\/strong>, followed by Mars in Aries on April 30th<\/strong>. With the cosmic lovers playing house, idealized desire takes on a material clarity so real you can touch it. Mercury\u2019s shadowy post-retrograde period dissipates from April 25th<\/strong> onward. By the end of the month, you\u2019re no longer afraid of hard work, winding journeys, and whatever difficult emotions arise in the process of individuating. Life\u2019s greatest privilege is being who you are, now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
