Mercury in Taurus

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 April 25, 2021 – May 1, 2021

After the burst of energy we received during Aries Season, this week will be a difficult pill for many to swallow. Saturn forces us back to the planet Earth, and usually, he comes with a few lessons. Usually, lessons we would rather avoid.

Saturn is the planet of limitations and restrictions. He wants us to take the “long road” rather than the express route. Saturn requires patience, hard work, and for each of us to take responsibility for our actions. If we work with Saturn productively, he reveals the problem areas of our lives and provides us with solutions. If we avoid Saturn or choose to ignore him, we may experience depression, loneliness, or become overwhelmed by duties and obligations.

So, it’s better to work with the curmudgeon and pay him his coin because he ultimately does reward us IF we do the work he requires.

Astrological Horoscopes for the Week of April 18, 2021 – April 24, 2021

After a month and a half of better than average ‘astro weather’, the Cosmos once again tosses us into the meat grinder. Be on guard!

This week we leave the fiery world of Aries behind and sink our toes into the earth because Taurus season begins on Monday. Now, the dense gravity of earth may be a little jarring after a month of potentials, possibilities, and inspiration. Taurus season requires us to focus on the physical realm and what we can do with our Aries ambitions by doing something (meaning work) to manifest our visions and goals. So, to put it simply, Taurus is about using our determination and grit to get things done.

This Week’s Hot Spots:

On Monday, both the Sun and Mercury move into Taurus. Financial matters and security concerns will be your focus over the next few weeks. Try to focus on creating budgets and getting your fiscal picture in order. Taurus season is also a good time to focus on whole foods that aid your overall wellbeing as well as reviewing the number of resources that you may be wasting – the list may be shocking!

During the middle of the week, Venus conjoins Uranus. Relationships and financial issues may need to be handled with care. Avoid making choices and decisions impulsively.

Finally, on the weekend, Mars moves out of Gemini and into Cancer. Cancer is the sign of the family and when the war god moves into the sign of the crab, past familial problems and grievances are bound to resurface. Use this time to try to resolve issues by communicating and listening rather than letting your emotions drive the bus. In some cases, it’s easier to just walk away.
