April- Opening Up
To say April 2024 is an important month it’s an understatement. The first half of the month is INTENSE to say the least. Mercury is retrograde, we have a Total Solar Eclipse, and Mars conjuncts Saturn, to name just a few.
The 2nd half of the month, however, promises to be much more uplifting.
I really like the last week of April. For the first time in a long time, it feels that things are moving in a positive direction.
But let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:
April 5th, 2024 – Venus Enters Aries
Perhaps the best quality of Venus in Aries is emotional honesty. When we tap into Venus in Aries’ boldness and aliveness with an open heart, we automatically connect with that part of us that is fearless and unapologetically authentic.
Venus in Aries is a great transit to practice emotional honesty with yourself and others. Emotional honesty isn’t about making demands, or making other people feel wrong. It’s our repressed emotions that eventually come out aggressively or self-righteous.
April 8th, 2024 – New Moon And Solar Eclipse In Aries
Just like a Phoenix, at the Solar Eclipse, we WILL rise from our wounds with a renewed sense of identity.
The thoughts, emotions, flashbacks, events, or interactions that will surface at the time of the Eclipse will trigger our vulnerabilities and unprocessed pain, but if we stay there, we have a unique chance to rewrite the story of our wound to unlock its hidden potential.
April 10th, 2024 – Mars Conjunct Saturn in Pisces
Mars wants to act NOW, but Saturn wants to do things LATER – not because he’s lazy (on the contrary) but because he wants to think things through and make sure something of lasting value is built.
The Mars-Saturn conjunction may feel very frustrating – but it will also give us that extra push and determination to get things done, by finding a good compromise between impulse-driven action and practicality.
April 15th, 2024 – Mercury Conjunct Chiron
Mercury retrograde, with its introspective quality, gives us an opportunity to dig deeper into the root causes of our wound (Chiron) and reframe our understanding of ourselves.
Maybe our wound – and the story around it – is not really as permanent or defining as we once believed. Perhaps we can gain a clearer understanding. Perhaps we can rewrite the narrative.
April 19th, 2024 – Sun Enters Taurus
Welcome to the Taurus season, a so-very-special season, particularly this year.
While Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus are now very close to each other, it’s Sun’s ingress into Taurus that will give the green light to tap into the archetypal energy of the sign.
Sun in Taurus will make it clearer for us what the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction means to us at a personal level.
April 21st, 2024 – Jupiter Conjunct Uranus
We have a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction once every 13-14 years, and it’s the only time it happens in Taurus during our lifetime. Jupiter conjunct Uranus promises to bring a very exciting opportunity in the Taurus sector of your chart.
There’s something magical about this transit. Uranus brings the excitement element, and Jupiter suggests that, while we may not anticipate what Uranus has in store for us, it is likely something positive.
Of course, just because a transit looks great on paper, this doesn’t mean everyone will win the lotto.
If you have planets or angles around 21° in Taurus (or Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces), you will likely experience the positive manifestations of Jupiter conjunct Uranus.
If instead, you have planets or angles around 21°in the other fixed signs, this powerful transit might challenge you at first. It’s not that the developments Jupiter and Uranus bring are not positive in essence, but it may not feel that way at first, because change is not always easy, especially for fixed signs.
Whatever happens (or doesn’t) around the time of this conjunction, pay attention to any messages or downloads you receive. There WILL be opportunities – but you have to seize them, and say yes to them.
April 23rd, 2024 – Full Moon In Scorpio
This is an intense Full Moon.
The Full Moon in Scorpio is a great time to release emotional baggage that no longer serves us. Power struggles, hidden agendas, or subconscious desires may come to the surface.
This energy will ask us to confront these heads on, however uncomfortable the process may be. Yet, it’s precisely through this process of facing our shadows that we can experience true self-awareness and empowerment.
April 26th, 2024 – Mercury Goes Direct
This is a relief after a period of reflection and recalibration during a VERY intense Mercury retrograde.
Now that Mercury has turned direct, it’s time to reflect on the lessons learned and move forward with a clearer perspective. Once we have identified self-sabotaging patterns of thinking, we can now rewrite them with healthier and more empowering beliefs.
April 29th, 2024 – Mars Conjunct Neptune
The message is: don’t force your way through.
Listen to subtle messages, watch for serendipities and find a higher purpose for your actions. When we’re open to receiving divine guidance, our actions have meaning and impact.
April 29th, 2024 – Venus Enters Taurus
Venus in Taurus encourages us to slow down and savor the simple pleasures of life. As native Taurus Dave Gahan says “words are very unnecessary”. We’re wired to believe that to be happy we have to have more, do more, get busy, or fill up the empty spaces.
But Venus – the planet of happiness and contentment – doesn’t need any of these. Venus in Taurus is a reminder that happiness is not about doing – but about being. Simply sink into the present moment and enjoy the silence.
April 30th, 2024 – Mars Enters Aries
If you’ve been feeling a bit sluggish in the last few weeks when Mars was in Pisces, this will now change.
In Aries, Mars does what he knows best: takes action. When Mars is in other signs, we always find reasons not to act. Mars in Taurus? “It takes too long”. Mars in Gemini? “I can’t focus”. Mars in Cancer? “What if it hurts other people’s feelings?” Mars in Leo?” What if I make a fool of myself?”. Mars in Virgo? “What if it’s not perfect?”.
When Mars is in Aries, the time is now. We naturally connect with that part of our psyche that is always ready for action.
April 2024 is the month we begin to open, encouraging us to be present, to show up, to be accountable, and to begin agian.
The Romans named this month, Aprilis, but the origin of this name is uncertain. The etymology comes from the verb aperire, which means, “to open.”
This April unfurl as if you were a flower, honor the paradoxes of the past, investigate your own narratives, connect with your inner sensuality, explore what is wild about your heart, find new ways of being, connect with the magick of flowers, write a letter to the parts of your chart that live in Aries and Taurus, give yourself over to the rains, begin again.
Celerbrate April!!
