Astrology Forecast for the Week of April 11, 2022 – April 17, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of April 11, 2022 through April 17, 2022 features three planetary aspects (Jupiter conjunct Neptune, Sun sextile Saturn, Mercury sextile Venus), Mars moves out of Aquarius and into Pisces, and a Full Moon in relationship-oriented Libra.

It looks like it’s going to be another busy week. So, let’s dive right in!

Cosmic Overview

This week the cosmic headliner is Jupiter conjoin Neptune in Pisces. On one level, Jupiter conjunct Neptune may potentially breathe a little compassion, understanding, and empathy into a world lacking in human decency. You may find that you are called upon to help those in need, or you may decide to do more spiritual based work. On the other hand, Jupiter can expand some dubious Neptunian characteristics, and we will see a deluge of misinformation, cult-like behaviors, and for a lack of a better phrase – ‘fake news’. The key to working through the trickier side of Jupiter-Neptune is to ensure your ideas are your own and that you are not following people blinding. Do your own research (FYI: 15 minutes on YouTube learning science from someone who failed 8^th grade biology is not research) and investigate anything before leaping headfirst into an idea or cause.

If you encounter Jupiter-Neptune gone amok, usually in the form of your crazy uncle or weird guy (or girl) in your social media feeds, try to remember that Neptune seeks redemption and to ease pain and suffering, and that many people are suffering for various reasons. Try to be as understanding as possible, even if you disagree with them. Use compassion before condemnation!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of April 4, 2022 – April 10, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of April 4, 2022 through April 10, 2022 features four major aspects (Mars conjunct Saturn, Mercury sextile Saturn, Mercury sextile Mars, and Mercury square Pluto) and Venus and Mercury change signs.

So, the cosmos picks up speed this week. Let’s dive right in!

Cosmic Overview

The headliner this week is Venus moving out of Aquarius and into Pisces, the sign of her exaltation. This is good news, because Venus has been in Saturn ruled signs (Capricorn and Aquarius) since November 5, 2021, and she has been copresent with Mars and Saturn in Aquarius (part of the time besieged) since early March.

So, now Venus is free to do her thing, and since she is copresent with Jupiter (also in Pisces), we should begin to see a lightening of the energy and improvements in love and finances. Also, note the house where Pisces is located in your chart, and the two houses that Venus (Taurus and Libra) rules, because they will also see an upswing.

The positive way to work with Venus in Pisces (because there are dysfunctional applications like codependency and idealization) is to use this energy to improve relationships, and this may include some necessary self-sacrifice.

All relationships go through troubles, difficulties, and sometimes get off track. Now is an excellent time to do some inner work to see where your relationships problem areas are, and do what you can to improve them. Since Venus is in Pisces, the ability to empathize and be compassionate is amplified, which allows compromises to occur and healing to begin. Remember, Venus will also be in Pisces for your partner, so it’s easier to achieve reciprocity in relationships. If compromises cannot be achieved, the healing may begin when you accept the relationship is beyond repair, and that you need to begin loving yourself by making difficult decisions about your relationship’s future.

There is one warning: when working on relationship issues and compromising, do not lose sight of your boundaries.

Astrology Forecast for the Week of March 28, 2022 – April 3, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of March 28, 2022 through April 3, 2022 features the major planetary aspects (Venus conjunct Saturn and Sun conjunct Mercury) and the New Moon in Aries.

The cosmos slows down for the end of March, but watch out Venus conjunct Saturn can be a bit of a downer!

Speaking of which…

Cosmic Overview

The aspect of the week is Venus conjunct Saturn in Aquarius. So, the primary theme of the week will involve relationships (all of them).

Now, despite the magical belief about relationships – you know, when you meet ‘the one’ and everything in life becomes perfect – relationships are hard work. Sure, relationships can be exciting and fulfilling, but there are times when real world demands shatter our ideals of romantic bliss, and problems begin to occur. Venus in hard aspect to Saturn is when they are often triggered.

We all go through struggles, and those struggles usually occur outside of relationships. They may be career-related, financial, medical, or familial, but we all have things we are dealing with regularly. Venus conjunct Saturn indicates a cycle when those worldly issues (Saturn) can affect our relationships, and even how we relate to our partners individually. Furthermore, when Venus conjoins Saturn, you may feel isolated and alone, which can complicate matters more.

Working with Venus/Saturn requires honesty and realism. You may need to look at your life and what your relationships currently mean to you. Often, insight into ways to get your needs met while handling life’s circumstances is a productive way to get what you require from your partners, and that gut-level open communication can relieve some of the struggle. However, you need to also be cognizant of whether your reactions to the real world may alienate your partner because you are so focused on your own issues, and you are not receptive to them or their needs.

The good news is that if you put in the work, your relationships will become more stable and fulfilling. You can create a stronger support system to deal with your struggles. All that is required is working with your relationships, not against them.

Astrology Forecast for the Week of March 21, 2022 – March 27, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of March 21, 2022 through March 27, 2022 features four major aspects (Mercury conjunct Jupiter, Mars square Uranus, Mercury conjunct Neptune, and Mercury sextile Pluto) and Mercury moves out of Pisces and into fiery Aries.

Now, that’s a heck of a lot of Mercury energy this week. Let’s dive right in.

Cosmic Overview

Although Mercury is a big player, the most potent aspect of the week is Mars in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus. Mars square Uranus is an extremely volatile aspect, and it’s hard (even in the most conscious of people) to contain. You may feel a need to break free from situations in your life where you feel controlled and restrained. Acting impulsively and reacting to external circumstances may need to be tempered so that you do not do any lasting damage to your life. It’s necessary to be as proactive as possible, and try to manage your emotions the best you can.

If you can control your impulses, Mars square Uranus can be useful. This aspect often reveals the areas of life where you feel discouraged and dissatisfied. Understanding the root of your restlessness can help you make positive and meaningful changes in your life. The key is working with this energy productively, and not letting it work you.

Finally, Mars square Uranus is accident prone. Try to be aware of what you are doing, especially when you are driving and handling equipment. A hard hat may be necessary!

Daily Breakdown

Monday, March 21, 2022

We start the week with a lovely conjunction of Mercury and Jupiter in Pisces. Since this aspect lands in the sign of the fishes, you may notice your creative energies are surging more than usual, which is a good thing, especially if you are in a line of work that occasionally needs a dose of “something extra”.

Mercury conjunct Jupiter is an extremely useful aspect. Your mood should be optimistic, and your outlook on life is mostly positive. You can see the big picture, and you can make the most of it. Mercury-Jupiter aspects are great for business activities and goal setting. So, make sure you take advantage of the energy while it’s available.

Tuesday, March 22, 2022

Mars forms a frustrating square to Uranus in Taurus. Expect the energy today to be intense and volatile. Try to avoid people that push your buttons, and be as proactive as possible. Also, be careful in your daily activities, because Mars square Uranus is accident prone.

Wednesday, March 23, 2022

Mercury conjoins Neptune in Pisces, and your imagination, creative juices, and intuition will be amplified. It’s an excellent day to work on creative projects or participate in spiritual activities. The only drawback is that it may be difficult to articulate your thoughts and ideas to others. Conversely, it may be difficult to understand others, and miscommunication may occur. Make sure you verify facts before making a major decision.

Thursday, March 24, 2022

The Moon spends most of the day void of course in Sagittarius. It’s best not to start any new projects or make firm agreements until the Moon moves into Capricorn later today (5:54 PM EST/2:54 PM PST). The void of course Moon lacks momentum, and usually nothing comes of matters initiated at this time.

Friday, March 25, 2022

The Moon moves through productive Capricorn. It’s an excellent day to focus on work and career related matters. Later in the day, the Moon forms a lovely trine to Uranus. It’s an excellent night to do something spontaneous and outside the box.

Saturday, March 26, 2022

Mercury forms a beneficial sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. Mercury sextile Pluto is useful to solve problems that may require intense focus and probing beneath the surface. You may receive insight into yourself or others that creates lasting change in your life. Mercury-Pluto aspects are also excellent for projects that require research and detective skills, because it will help you dig beneath the surface and discover the truth.

Sunday, March 27, 2022

We close the week with Mercury moving out of Pisces and into fiery Aries. Mercury in a fire sign is concerned with potentials and possibilities, and you may receive insights that you can use to your personal advantage. While Mercury is in the sign of the ram, your mental energies are increased if you are passionate about your ideas and inspired to use them. Mercury remains in Aries until April 10^th.

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the week of March 14, 2022 – March 20, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of March 14, 2022 through March 20, 2022 features two major aspects (Mercury sextile Uranus, Venus square Uranus), the change of the seasons as the Sun moves into Aries, and a Full Moon in Virgo.

So, once again, the cosmos picks up steam. Let’s dive right in.

Cosmic Overview

The aspect of the week occurs on Saturday, as Venus in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus. I’m going to be blunt (okay, I’m known for that): if you are inflexible in your relationships, must have your own way, or do not like to compromise, then Venus square Uranus is difficult – very difficult. However, if you are flexible and can compromise with your partners (all of them), Venus square Uranus can enhance your relationships significantly.

The planet Uranus likes progress, not stagnation. When Uranus is in a hard aspect to Venus, and your relationships are stuck in a rut and not growing, he tends to shake things up.

Now, the key to working with Venus square Uranus is to shake things up on your own. Venus-Uranus likes excitement, so doing different activities, exploring new things, and adding new elements to keep your relationships fresh will help mitigate many of the more troublesome manifestations of the aspect.

In addition to love, Venus rules money. You may want to keep a watch on your expenditures, because unexpected expenses may occur. Furthermore, this is not the best time to make impulsive investments.

Astrology Horoscopes for the Week of April 11, 2021 – April 17, 2021

This is going to be a massive week in astrologyland with a New Moon, a Venusian sign change, and seven – yes seven – planetary aspects.

So, let’s get the show on the road.

This Week’s Hot Spots:

Control freaks (I say this lovingly because I am one), it’s your turn to shine with a lovely New Moon in Aries occurring on Sunday. This New Moon is a precursor for the next chapter after a year of lockdowns, restrictions, and never-ending holding patterns. Mars, the ruler of the New Moon, is in Gemini stirring up plenty of uncontrolled frenetic energy that puts you back in the driver’s seat. Can I get an amen?

After 13 months of the pandemic, it’s time for you to look at your life and create a game plan or strategy to move forward into a new normal. This New Moon gives you not only the power to move forward, but it’s in aspect to lucky Venus and helpful Jupiter. Anything you begin, in earnest, should be successful.

In addition to the New Moon, Pluto is a major player this week with aspects to Venus, the Sun, and Mercury. Pluto aspects can be obsessive, so watch out for relationship issues if they bubble up on Sunday. Meanwhile on Friday, as the Sun tangles with the Lord of the underworld, you may need to take an honest look at your life (and Mercury in aspect to Pluto will help reveal the truth) and make changes if necessary. Avoiding these changes will just lead to problems resurfacing in July that may be more difficult to manage. And remember, to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Finally, on Wednesday, Venus will move out of Aries and into her own sign of Taurus. Making financial decisions with this Venusian placement will make things easier, especially after April 25^th when Venus clears both Uranus and Saturn. If you want to make a large purchase now would be the time to consider it. Venus remains well dignified until May 8, 2021, when she will move into Gemini.

Sign Breakdowns:

Aries: The week starts out with a massive burst of energy as the New Moon occurs in your solar first house. It’s time to let go of the old and embrace the new. Potential career issues may occur that could lead to changes and new opportunities. Financial growth this week is likely, which may bring you some enjoyment and peace of mind.

Taurus: The New Moon occurs in your solar twelfth house and unresolved issues from the past may resurface. The good news is that a positive conclusion is highly likely. Opportunities for a raise, promotion, or general financial improvement is possible with Mars forming a lovely aspect to expansive Jupiter. New insights may lead to tense encounters later in the week. Keep shady and power-hungry people at arm’s length!

Gemini: It’s going to be a busy and social week for you as the New Moon lands in your solar 11^th house. Friends and associates may be a major focus because you need conversation and social stimulation. Later in the week, you may decide to learn something new and further expand your mind as Mars in your solar 1^st house gets an invigorating boost from Jupiter.

Cancer: The New Moon lands in your 10^th house of career and public recognition. You are beginning a new career cycle and since the planets are shining down upon you favorably, it’s your time to shine. If you are looking for a promotion or raise, now is the time to ask for it. Since Venus is now in your 11^th house, new financial opportunities may be presented by friends and associates.

Leo: The urge to break free of responsibilities and duties may be heightened by the New Moon in your solar 9^th house. You may need a trip or vacation to help recharge your depleted creative batteries. Towards the end of the week be careful on the career front because dubious people may attempt to steal your thunder.

Virgo: A heavy cluster of planets including the New Moon in your solar 8^th house could leave you feeling befuddled and out of sorts. Old familial hurts could resurface and do a number on your self-esteem and may need to be worked through. The good news is that despite your emotional concerns, positive career news could pull you out of your personal funk storm.

Libra: The New Moon in your solar 7^th house puts all the weeks’ energy on your favorite concern – relationships! It’s a great time to jump-start the love sector of your life with a healthy dose of romance with a side of good old-fashioned fun. Later in the week, Mars will make a lovely trine to Jupiter giving you the energy boost you have been waiting for.

Scorpio: The New Moon in lands in the health and habits sector of your chart. It’s a good time to look at health-related issues and create new strategies if necessary. Relationship issues may surface as Venus moves into your solar 7^th house. You may need to add new activities that keep the relationship fresh and exciting. Otherwise, a buildup of tension could lead to problems in the future.

Sagittarius: Since the New Moon lands in your solar fifth house your creative juices will steadily flow. This is a great time to start new projects and bring your ideas and inspirations to life. Workplace associates may be key to helping you level up but be wary of negative Nelly’s that may attempt to extinguish your flame.

Capricorn: Home improvement projects and family issues may be your theme for the week with the New Moon in your solar 4^th house. If unresolved tensions are lurking, be prepared for them to surface towards the end of the week. On a more promising note, the creative projects you have worked on will begin to pay off.

Aquarius: It’s a great week to start new conversations, projects, or social interactions with the New Moon In your solar 3^rd house. There will be an increased focus on projects that invigorate your enthusiasm and enliven your spirit. However, try to avoid potential conflict with siblings or close friends because they will only drag down your mood and steal your joy.

Pisces: Finances are a major concern with the New Moon in your solar 2^nd house. Planning a budget or getting control over your fiscal circumstances may be necessary. It’s also a great week to spend time with family members, especially those that you haven’t interacted with in a while.

Enjoy your week!
