April 2023 Intuitive Astrological Energy Forecast

April brings yet another month of transitions of fate as we enter Eclipse Season which gives us insight into where our lives are heading into the next couple of years. 

Remember: Pluto tears down before transforming… THIS is the lens through which to view the following energies. This is a good thing! I will be pinning this post for easy future reference as there is A LOT to unpack here… Let’s get into it, shall we! 

Notable Aspects & Energies:

April 3- Mercury enters Taurus, simultaneously Squaring w/ Pluto until June 11. Mercury will also retrograde back through Taurus on the 21st which extends its time here in this Square.                                             This is always a time to slow down but this year with Pluto and other outer  planetary influences in play, we may also be pulled to make some changes in how we communicate, take care of our needs, and even possibly Life directions. In the April to June time frame mentioned we can expect upheavals in commerce and finance on a collective and personal scale showing where systems cracked in March that had not truly been fixed.  

Mercury Retrograde on the 21st will be a perfect time to reflect on changes needing to be made and full REflection, REview, and REdo’s are welcomed. Mercury and Uranus meet shortly after the retrograde which will help bring clarity and when Mercury has finally left its shadow we will have a full picture of what changes we need to bring into our lives. 

April 6- Full Moon in Libra, Sun conjunct Chiron near Jupiter, & Mercury conjunct lunar North Node forming a sextile to each Saturn in Pisces and Mars in Cancer.                                                                                              Libra Full Moon are opportunities to bring focus to important relationships in our lives in order to restore balance. This moon will give space for intense healing in those relationships closest to us as long as we keep patience and commitment at the forefront. Chiron and Jupiter give the chance to heal and release toxic conditioning within ourselves that no loner resonates in order to get to OUR core truth, not what we have been TOLD is our truth. Chiron sitting in Aries at this time helps us remember what inspires us within our healing process. Jupiter energy helps this happen on a grand scale and see the positive side of the healing process. Saturn and Mars come in the mix to take all this healing deeper and with more intensity and commitment. Some may feel tested in matters of self esteem causing feelings of loneliness and isolation,  while others may feel restricted in finances and things our hearts were set on not moving along as quickly as we had planned.

April 11- Venus enters Gemini & squares Saturn in Pisces April 13                       This transit may find us blessed with a charming vibe, very chatty with our communication and possibly a little flirty. We may be more apt to try new things with our friends or relationships to keep things interesting and fun. Multiple income sources can open up or we may see our heads above water if money has been an issue recently. Then on April 13 when Venus squares Saturn there are indications of more challenges in romance and money. Extra effort will need to be spent on both and delays in money expected are possible. Revising your income situation and attention to relationships is encouraged here.  This is also a good time to get a favorable response to any urgent requests you may have pop up. 

April 19/20- New Moon Total Solar Eclipse in Aries at 29 degrees/Sun Square Pluto in Aquarius 

This New Moon Total Solar Eclipse has a few energies worth noting. One one hand it acts like a helper to cross into new energies we will be exploring the next few yrs as we transition from the old ways into the new ways. On another hand, transitions are mysteries because we have never been where we are as we shift. Unknowing causes fear and we will need to face that fear head on. This is where Pluto comes in and pressures us in big ways to stop playing small. Depending on what that means for you, this could bring power struggles from those comfortable with you being small. Pluto transits come into certain areas of our life and unearth what is hidden or buried. It reveals what we have ignored in order to face it and transform. Adding eclipse energy in the mix brings up that which we fear letting go of, yet we know that is exactly what is needed. 

The bright side of this aspect comes from Mars, Mercury and Uranus in sextiles helping our intuition to be super strong and our emotional states to help motivate us in next steps for our future. 

April 20- Sun enters Taurus (Exact at 1:13 am MST)

After its Solar Eclipse in the last degree of Aries, the Sun slides into Taurus early in the morning. Taurus is about security, safety, growth and abundance yet the past couple of years, many of us have felt anything but. This is due to the position of the Lunar North Node squaring the Sun when it enters Taurus. Our foundations shake and at times and our purpose can become blurry and unclear. This is the last cycle of this energy here as the North Node is moving out of Taurus this year. Uranus is also in Taurus and when the Sun transits it, we may feel the desire for freedom in certain areas of our lives and giving us a look into what firm steps we have or have not taken towards the freedom we crave. Uranus is a trickster tho so plot twists are common and grounding is recommended. 

April 21- Mercury stations Retrograde in Taurus

Mercury Retrograde in Taurus highlights the importance to SLOW DOWN!  This is a perfect time to think all the things through that you experienced up to this point of 2023 and plan our next moves for the foreseeable future in our day to day life, communication, travel, and projects around the home. Connecting to nature or ones self during this downtime will benefit as we continue to hit Pluto energy until June. Before Mercury dances backwards it comes semi close to Uranus which could possibly be indicative of unexpected information or news that will require thoughtful processing before moving forward 

🤍There are many other aspects this month and some of the transits above may affect some more than others based on where they land in conjunction to your personal chart. ALWAYS keep in mind that YOU are what you have within your control. YOUR actions, YOUR responses, YOUR grounding practices, YOUR calming techniques, YOUR intuition, YOUR mindset, and YOUR healing are in YOUR POWER. Pluto feels like an asshole at first but you can build a house on top of a new house. You MUST tear down the old to graduate into the new. These glow ups in life usually happen with a Pluto energy and when the dust settles, you will look back with gratitude on how you’ve grown and how much more you have in your set of tools to propel you to your purpose!💫
