April 7th – 13th

Something Different or Unusual 

 

This week’s headline items: Mercury and Venus both come to a standstill this week, ending their retrograde and beginning their Post-Shadow phases. Mercury does so on Monday morning, and Venus follows suit on Saturday after her station intensifies on Wednesday. This means that Mercury and Venus will both remain exalted all week. On Saturday evening, a Full Moon in Libra becomes exact — and beginning Sunday, all planets will be in forward motion until May 4th.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for 9.5 hours), Thursday afternoon (for almost 5.5 hours), and Sunday morning (for almost 4 hours).

 

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Our Forecasting Forum will be LIVE this week! On Saturday, April 12th at 12:30pm PDT/9:30am EDT/5:30pm London-time and April 12/13th at 2:30am Sydney Time. This webinar is titled: “Ambition & Drive”

We will cover the third and final Mars-Pluto opposition in the Trilogy, as well as the conclusion of the Retrograde phases for Mercury and Venus as they move forward again.

Reflect on the themes of transformation and empowerment that Pluto invites us to bring forth, offering clarity on how this energy may manifest in your personal chart. Reserve your spot today and unlock powerful tools for growth and self-alignment.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, April 7th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day; it will journey there until Tuesday late morning. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.

We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness… So, hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, and tell them how much you love them.

Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.

If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s easier for the next two-and-a-half days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun?

What would be so much fun that you let out a tiny squeak just thinking of it?

Monday morning, a Venus/Saturn alignment in 25 degrees of Pisces becomes exact at 7:01am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening (March 31st) on; it will be strong until May 1st — an unusually long time due to Venus’ Station phase.

This alignment brings a sense of maturity and commitment to our relationship with the divine. We might also feel more committed to helping the less fortunate.

This might not be the best time to get involved in a brand-new relationship, as we are more committed to our inner processes now; in fact, this might be a good time to release any relationships that no longer align with our Soul’s desire for unity and heartfelt connections.

Ongoing relationships feel stable and steady, with a heightened sense of realism and responsibility. Although feelings might flow internally, they might be expressed reservedly, formally, or sparingly.

A sense of duty may lead us to sacrifice a personal pleasure to something greater than ourselves or someone less fortunate.

Ask yourself: What or who supports me in trusting my inner divine knowing? What or who doesn’t?

What relationships do I genuinely want to commit myself to? Which ones are asking for more distance or better boundaries?

What tools or structures support me in being in the flow, fully present, and open to guidance from “higher places”?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC), or personal planets in 22-28 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn) 

Monday at 7:08am EDT, Mercury comes to a halt again at almost 27 degrees of Pisces — ending its 3-week Retrograde phase (which began on March 15th at 9.5 degrees of Aries), and slowly starts its direct motion again.

As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind, and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now — you may need to address those issues again when Mercury moves through its post-Shadow phase — more on that in a moment…

We are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective.

Ask yourself: What did I learn about myself? What was I able to release that no longer supports my growth? Was I able to recognize where I needed to show leadership? Where do I need to demonstrate more independence?

Was there anything I needed to accept, forgive, or change in order to advance to the next level? What insights have I gained about trusting my inner guidance, regardless of others’ opinions? Where do I need to step a little further outside of my comfort zone?

What did my inner dialog teach me? How might I share my findings in a healthy way?

When Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by April 14th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.

Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 24-29 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius.

Monday after 7:08am EDT, Mercury’s post-Shadow phase begins — lasting until April 25th…. as you may recall, I mentioned Mercury Shadow phases in this update a few weeks back:

If you want to buy, sell, or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde, and after it goes direct.

This is especially true if the items are connected to travel, physical activities, technology, transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.), or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) Click here to read my blog on the subject.

Monday night at 12:08am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for 9.5 hours, until 9:40am EDT (Tuesday late morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.

Make space for creative self-expression and fun, and also for pursuing your financial vision — and for breaking free from outdated value systems.

To break free from outdated value systems, you may have to address what we value in others and yourself (the latter informs your self-worth).

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late evening/night ahead of time
