April 2023 is about AWAKENING and tapping into your internal power of the SELF.
This month is a time of massive new beginnings around your biggest dreams and goals, changes that bring you to your highest path and the realization that just like the phoenix you too can rise from the ashes once more!
I will start at the beginning of the month …
April 4th, 2023 Mercury Enters Taurus
This energy could bring out full on confrontations on the mental and intellectual realms. Major power plays could be common with an air of mystery and intensity to boot. Since both signs are fixed in nature, stubbornness and a stuck in the mud energy will prevail. Be careful what you say and how you say it. This is a good aspect to tap into difficult conversations where a make it or break it outcome is sure to ensue.
For my Darkling’s with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs in the early degrees (0-3 degrees) of the fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will be most impacted. Expect death/rebirth situations involving communication and major tower moments. For others check where Taurus and Aquarius falls in your natal chart to see where these intense and do/die intellectual matters will arise.
April 5th, 2023 Sun Conjuct Chiron
Pay attention to what triggers you. To what makes you feel awkward. To what makes you feel you’re not enough.
Don’t brush it off. If there is something that is bothering you, it is bothering you for a reason. Your wound points to a potential that is yet to be fulfilled. What makes you uncomfortable is the KEY to something much greater. What is your higher self trying to tell you?
April 6th, 2023 Full Moon in Libra
This Moon is sure to ensue some relationship drama or major milestones to those who are in commitments. There is the push/pull energy of “me vs. we”. This Full Moon will bring forth an opportunity to deepen a connection or if the relationship is not balanced and reciprocal to finally end it. This is not limited to romantic relationships but in any connection that has importance in our lives.
Try to remember the ability to compromise in new ways with another while also maintaining a healthy sense of self.
Pay attention to what we are projecting onto our partners and be willing to hold a level of accountability and workability within the relationship. Whatever happens, justice will be served, for better or worse. Remember compassion is the answer.
For my Darkling’s with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs between 14-17 degrees of the Cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, expect to feel the power of this lunation the most. Major relationship issues will be common and themes connected to compromise and integrity will be brought up. Some of you could finally break free of toxic connections while others of you could deepen a healthy union. For others, check where Libra falls in your natal chart to see where these relationship culminations and manifestations will be taking place.
April 11th, 2023 Venus Enters Gemini
The luckiest day of the astrological new year. Today a boost of energy around our ability to be fully self -sufficient, in charge and ready to make shit happen! Leadership opportunities will be plenty around this date. We will be all fired up with an ooze of confidence and ready to get moving and grooving. A tremendous drive to go after our heart’s desires and lucky breaks connected to our careers and livelihoods. If you have wanted to begin your own side gig or biz, this is the day to do it!
Today we find it easier to articulate our feelings. We can rewire outdated relating patterns, diffuse resentment, and find a new sense of intimacy.
The lower vibration of this aspect could be aggressive enthusiasm mixed with selfish intentions to get ahead of the crowd. Being mindful and staying as grounded as possible will be challenging with this double fire energy but important.
For my Darkling’s with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs between 19-22 degrees of the Cardinal signs of: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, expect to feel this aspect the most. One in a lifetime “lucky” and amazing career opportunities could come your way out of the blue. For everyone else, check where Aries falls in your natal chart to see where these fortunate and entrepreneurial vibes will take place.
April 19th, 2023 Solar Eclipse in Aries and New Moon
A lot of ENERGY, PASSION and NEW BRIGHT BEGINNINGS. We are ready to step out of our comfort zone and go where “no man or woman has gone before” and to proclaim our sovereignty. This is a dynamite Eclipse, that will shake us to the core of our being. No more half-truths, no more living half lives….. it’s a call for total authenticity.
The lower vibration of this eclipse will be a heightened entitlement of selfish and naive intentions around our goals and ambitions.
Everyone will be impacted by this eclipse but some will feel it more intensely than others. For my Darkling’s with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs between 27-29 degrees of the Cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn or 0-3 degrees of the fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, will be most impacted.
Effects of this eclipse could last 6 months- 1 year from this date. Expect the unexpected around your identity/physical appearance, family life, relationships and career. Major new beginnings that catapult you into a new awareness of your own wants and needs will be heightened. For everyone else, check where Aries falls in your natal chart to see where these go getter vibes of newness and possibility lie.
BE SURE TO GET EXTENDED FORCAST FOR THIS ENERGY CYCLE.
April 20th, 2023 Sun Enters Taurus
Happy Birthday to all Taurus out there!!
We are ready to take these brand new ideas and projects and to ground them into practical applications + longevity. This energy is calmer, more realistic and grounded energy to our soul. Expect to gravitate towards more holistic ways of dealing with matters and themes connected to security, money and resources will be heightened. Getting out into nature and finding ways to soothe our nervous system will be encouraged.
For my Darling’s with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs in Taurus, this will be a homecoming of feeling more in your own element and a more peaceful and tranquil energy will be present. For everyone else, check where Taurus falls in your natal chart to see where you will be feeling more grounded, focused on financial + matters to do with resources and security.
April 21st, 2023 Mercury Turns Retrograde in Taurus
This is a time to practice going back to previous projects, endeavors and plans and tweaking or reigniting them in some way.
Mercury retrograde periods can bring in issues with communication, travel plans and overall snafus around business matters. People from the past often reappear during this time as well. My advise is to be careful starting something completely brand new if you can avoid it. As mentioned, it is better to go back to old projects and plans and revise, reflect and redo them.
Mercury retrograde in Taurus is here to bring in issues with our security and practical matters. There defiantly could be continued issues with banks and financial institutions at this time. There might actually be further legislations established during this period to protect our financial resources. On a more personal level, this period is a good time to revise how we look at our investments around our own self worth and value.
For my Darklings with their Sun, Moon or Ascendant signs between 5-15 degrees of the fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will be most impacted by this transit. Expect major wake up calls and reversals in some cases around your finances and sense of security. Again, this is a time to redo or revise these matters. For everyone else, check where Taurus falls in your natal chart to see where these revisions and reevaluations will be occurring around your resources and finances.
April 2023 is a month of reawaking. If you notice that you haven’t been true to yourself, there will be events and situations that realign you. It doesn’t matter what is gracing the astrological skies. What matters is who you are BEING about it. BEING is always more potent than your outer circumstances. Astrology is just a tool of reference and guidance. You create what you want from it or not. Check in with your BEING and get ready to tap into the magical blessings that are within you and before you! That is the promise and beauty of April 2023!
