For people new to the community, you can join my eList HERE to be kept in the loop. I usually send out the APRIL Monthly Missive during the first week of the month, but if/when things come up in-between, you may get the occasional additional email to alert you to events or classes that are time-sensitive.
4/19 • Mars (energy, desire & action) ~conjunct~ Saturn (structure, responsibility & timing):
Any conjunction marks a beginning, and in this case, Mars governs your identity & desires, while Saturn dictates your definition of reality and the constraints of the physical world. If you are feeling frustrated, it might signal a need to develop more clarity & focus, followed by practical actions to achieve your goals. The influence of Saturn varies depending on individual temperament; some find comfort in limits, structure & boundaries, while others rebel against such confines & conformity, which leads to its own set of conflicts. The Shadow side of this activation tends to manifest as a sense of restriction, followed by intense anger. However, this energy also allows you the option or opportunity to define the appropriate course of action and then, meticulously plan to execute your plan under a more supportive cosmic alignment. Proceeding with consciousness increases the likelihood of success compared to impulsive behavior driven by Mars, which could trip you up. Saturn may illuminate certain obstacles, internal or external, hindering progress despite your own urge to move forward. It is essential to distinguish between perceived limitations and actual choices that need to be made, addressing any personal fears that may be hindering action & advancement. By releasing fear and reclaiming your own inner authority, you align your external circumstances with your internal beliefs, attracting support and facilitating progress. Break down your larger dream or vision into more manageable steps, even within any current limitations, as you inch closer to your goals. While this conjunction signifies a new beginning, the energies may be better utilized for preparatory tasks, laying the groundwork essential for future expressions of your new self and grand vision.
4/20 • Mercury (ideas & thinking) ~conjunct~ Saturn (structure & purpose):
This energy proves highly beneficial for any significant project demanding your full & undivided attention. If you have already conceptualized a vision and outlined its manifestation, now is the opportune moment to meticulously fill in the details, breathe life into it and put in the necessary effort. Engage in the work! Failing to direct this energy toward patient & methodical steps for advancement may result in frustration, creating a sense that you are not fulfilling your true purpose at this juncture. This can lead to negative thoughts, fear, doubt & self-sabotage. A more constructive approach is to shift focus from potential obstacles, and instead, entertain the idea that every door opens and all paths lead to your goal, regardless of any appearances to the contrary
4/20 • Mercury (ideas, thoughts & concepts) ~conjunct~ Mars (energy, actions & choices):
Before delving into this energy, I want to share two important points: First, when Mercury is at play, the energy moves swiftly. Second, Mars, a lesser form of power compared to Pluto’s higher version, reminds us that along with power, comes responsibility. Now, with that in mind, the positive essence of this energy allows you to steer your mind with passion, yielding tangible outcomes. This sharpens your intellectual prowess & mental capacity, for better or worse. You may find clarity in articulating certain thoughts and you may experience quick, effective responses. When integrity is upheld, it becomes an opportune moment to fuel significant creative expression. However, this energy’s negative manifestation might steer you toward pettiness & needless conflict, engaging in ego-driven dramas, squandering precious time & energy. Furthermore, if this negativity does not originate from within, it is just as possible to encounter it from external sources. It is an optimal period to infuse your thoughts, ideas & words with the passionate energy of Mars and use Mercury’s communicative power to foster creativity and facilitate shifts in consciousness. Their convergence brings about an energy exchange, igniting each other and initiating a new 2-year cycle.
4/23 • Venus Enters GEMINI:
When Venus is in Gemini, she is witty & wise, flirty & fun, curious & down for adventure! This energy gives you the opportunity to gather all the information about the last year of your relationships & finances and take some time to actually process what did (or did not) happen. It is time to have open communication in our relationships & partnerships so that we can all evolve and grow together – rather than apart. Our needs & desires evolve over time and rather than making anyone ‘good/bad/right/wrong’, let’s just discuss the evolution that has happened over the last year. With Venus, it is what we are attracted to and repelled by, and that evolves over time too! It is time to recalibrate your perspective and clean your own filters so that these discussions can be productive instead of destructive.
This energy is also really good for creative writing & self-expression and focusing on your creative babies. You may want to go back to school, get certified in something that you are passionate about or learn something new. If you are diving into your creativity & self-expression, she supports you as you do the research & revisions as you develop new ways of expressing your ideas and magnetizing support & resolutions for any long-standing issues. It is time to evolve and explore new ideas and new perspectives, while not getting overwhelmed by the limitlessness of all the possibilities or distracted by so many little details.
Venus Rules: values, priorities, resources, relationships, finances, love, art, beauty, culture and, in Gemini, the lesson of creativity, communication and self-expression is what she is animating and awakening for one and all. It is a call from within, to restore balance as an individual, within the context of your thinking and the value of your ideas, thoughts, concepts and individual voice. Your sense of self-worth and self-value may be in need of some focus & attention. You have evolved in the last year or so. This is a great opportunity to do some personal processing, with detachment & objectivity, so that you can renegotiate the terms of both your personal & professional relationships. This will help you determine what is/is no longer important to you, while preparing to go deeper on self-care when she moves into Cancer.
4/23 • Venus (relationships & finances) ~conjunct~ Uranus (change & awakening):
This marks the inception of profoundly new values & priorities that have been simmering within you for some time. You are encouraged to embrace this shift wholeheartedly, without hesitation or apology. Remember, as you evolve, your surroundings naturally adjust or fade away. The status quo is no longer sufficient, urging you to explore unconventional approaches, particularly in fostering conscious equal partnerships. We are entering a new era, the Aquarian Age, promoting individual growth within the collective framework. This activation invites you to release resistance, embrace alternatives & cultivate a fresh perspective on your own life. Take stock of your relationships & resources to see what still holds value and what has outlived its purpose, and then, release what no longer serves you. Additionally, remain receptive to innovative ideas emerging during this period as they may prove invaluable in the future.
4/25 • Sun (illumination & clarity) ~square~ Pluto (death, rebirth & transformation):
This is a challenge to grow out of your comfort zone and into new territory. That said, with Pluto in Aquarius (2024-2044), twice a year for the next 20-years, when the Sun is in Taurus (Late Spring) and Scorpio (Late Fall), we will get an opportunity to grow & change in the self-value/self-worth departments, as well as our individuality within the community where we make our unique contribution. Pluto is transforming all of that and we are only at the beginning of a *process* of personal evolution that is great to co-create with bi-annually (twice a year). In this case, and during these years, we are literally changing how we do ALL of this. Sun helps us clarify and when working with Pluto, it is usually what is NOT working, what has run its course and is ready to be composted into new Life, new growth and a new direction (for Self). Pluto is the Purifier, distilling things back to their true & original essence, fight that and it can be painful, work with it consciously and it can be transformative and will heal at the deepest root of any challenge. You can use this activation to honor that which has become obvious, or is highlighted in the here & now and purge or purify this energy. You are deeply supported for releasing old patterns and setting new conscious practices into action. Tie up any loose ends, close multiple chapters, mourn if you must and move on. As you do that, you will feel lighter & brighter and more grounded in your true Self, your evolved Self.
4/25 • Uranus Enters GEMINI:
Uranus in Gemini will shake, rattle, and (eventually) awaken the part of your chart governed by the sign of the Twins. This is just the beginning of a radical re-patterning of consciousness on personal, social & collective levels—a time when the way we think, communicate & process our reality is about to be revolutionized. Buckle up! We are being initiated into a whole new mental landscape. Uranus is often called the Change Agent. It brings disruption, but not with malicious intent. Uranus does not destroy—it liberates. It shakes the ground beneath your feet only to crack open a new portal of perspective, one that you might have never chosen on your own but are better for having walked through it. This planet governs innovation, genius, freedom & the unexpected. When it visits a Sign or a House in your chart, it is time to wake up, break out of any outdated conditioning and co-create a more authentic life.
Last year, between July & November 2025, we got a preview and then it backed up into Taurus one final time (11.7.2025 thru 4.25.2026) bringing us to now. Spring of 2026 is a pivotal moment to pay attention—ask your Self: what is beginning to stir in your consciousness? What conversations are emerging, what ideas are flickering? What truths are starting to sound louder than the old internal narratives? Uranus spends about 7-years in each Sign, meaning its complete cycle through the zodiac takes 84-years. Not everyone lives long enough to experience Uranus touching every single area of their chart, which makes each transit all the more sacred. We are talking about a once-in-a-lifetime invitation to break free from the status quo and awaken dormant gifts of perception, intelligence & communication. When Uranus activates your chart—especially by conjunction, square, or opposition—it is like a lightning bolt to the nervous system. It cannot be ignored and it does not ask for permission. What it does ask is: Are you ready to stop playing small, try something new and live more fully as your Authentic Self?
Gemini, as the Mutable Air Sign of curiosity, words, ideas & duality will amplify Uranus’s brilliance and increase the speed at which you receive & process information on all levels. So expect rapid downloads, paradigm-shifting conversations and flashes of your own unique genius. But also expect overwhelm if you do not have healthy personal practices, good mental boundaries & clean filters in place. Gemini rules the way we process information—so you may need to adjust how, when & what you take-in. Clear the mental clutter, strengthen your discernment, practice mental, and now digital, hygiene, manage input/output and create some space around your thoughts.
Wherever Gemini lives in your personal chart is about to go through a 7-year transformation. That part of your life—whether it’s your relationships, work, health, spirituality or creativity—is going to demand more truth, more originality & more conscious communication. Old ways of speaking, thinking or learning will no longer hold. Uranus will clear them out and invite in a new mental paradigm. If you have planets or points in Gemini/Sag or Virgo/Pisces—pay special attention. These are the Mutable Signs and they will be most intensely activated by this transit. Uranus is initiating your Inner Genius. You are being called to liberate your voice, your message & your medicine. If you have been brewing ideas—innovations, teachings, books, systems, technologies—this is your time. Let the spark come. Follow the excitement. Co-create with the chaos and befriend the unexpected.
