The Sun is now in Aries, beginning the Spring season and a new zodiacal year. The Sun shines in Aries along with Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron. This is a lot of fiery, initiatory energy to start new projects.
The Moon is full at 12 degrees of Libra on Wednesday, April 1. Jupiter squares the Full Moon, making for a busy, active, expansive day.
Venus moves into Taurus, one of its ruling signs, where the planet symbolizing love and money is in its happy place. Venus will be in Taurus through April 23. During this time you could make some good investments. Tend to your financial matters, and consider how you can increase your resources. These weeks with Venus in Taurus invite us to let our love light shine. Indulge yourself in pleasure.
Mercury is still in its shadow until April 9, meaning that there will be some lingering qualities of retrograde Mercury until then when Mercury moves past the degree it went retrograde. Communications continue to clear, but there still could be mix-ups and also some re-considering and revising during the shadow period. All planets are now in direct motion until May 5 when Pluto turns retrograde.
Mercury and Mars are in Pisces, Mars until April 9 and Mercury until April 16. These planets invite active imagination. It is a good time to draw, and write, and to honor your intuition.

Wednesday and Thursday, April 1-2, the Moon is in Libra. These are social days. The Moon is full on Wednesday, and it invites us to re-arrange our space and make it more beautiful. Thursday the Moon is void of course all day. Avoid meetings, shopping and anything requiring decisions. Things don’t come together and decisions may be difficult to make, or are likely to change later. A void-of-course day (Thursday) is better spent on insignificant matters. It is a good day to garden, read, or clean up your email.
Friday through Sunday afternoon, April 3-5, the Moon is in Scorpio. These are days when feelings run deep. Saturday boasts a Moon-Jupiter trine. We will feel optimistic and expansive. Easter Sunday morning a Moon-Uranus opposition may result in a change of schedule, or bring something surprising.

Moon Void of Course: This is the time when the Moon makes its last major angular aspect with a planet before it moves into the next zodiacal sign tropically. This void time, when the Moon is not aspecting a planet, but rather floating on its own, is a time when things don’t come together and it is difficult to make good decisions. Purchases made during void Moons often turn out to be unsatisfactory and not work out. Appointments often don’t come together, and meetings don’t result in progress or sound, lasting decisions. We more easily get lost or meander in trying to get somewhere. The VoC Moon times for the next month are listed below so that you can plan meetings, decisions, and purchases at times when the Moon is not VoC; and use the void times for gardening, reading, and routine task work.
