With April we’re still dealing with eclipse season but we’ve also got Mercury Retrograde on top of it. You’ll want to take it slow this month, especially for the first two weeks and do your best to not pile too many things on your plate.
With April’s Aries energy we can get caught up in doing things right now, and even thought it is so tempting to jump straight into something, give yourself permission to take space before acting. This could look like space to tune into your intuition with meditation or an oracle deck, talking to a friend, making a list, or just giving yourself a day or two.
In today’s culture, everything is about the grind and hustle. But it doesn’t have to be. And believe me, I know how hard it is to divorce yourself from productivity culture! But I promise you’re not the only one making strides to live a little differently. You’re not alone in this.
On to the monthly forecast!
April 1: Mercury Retrograde begins. This is a time to slow down and review how you communicate, both with yourself and others. Mercury Retrograde lasts until April 25.
Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn: Time to release and let go. Because this Last Quarter Moon is in Capricorn, you may be releasing something about how you approach work, the value you place upon it (or the image you think it brings you), or even a work project that just didn’t pan out the way you thought it might.
April 3: Venus conjunct Neptune: Romance is in the air with this transit. Venus is our values and relationships, and Neptune is the planet that deals with dreams, imagination, and illusion. We can get swept up in grand romantic gestures today, but we can also have rose-colored glasses on that keep up from seeing what’s really there. This transit tends to be one where we’re more inclined to daydream the day away rather than check things off our to-do list.
April 5: Venus enters Aries. Venus will be in Aries until April 29. Venus the planet of love, relationships, and values. Aries energy is very direct and quick to act. These two together means we’re more likely to be spontaneous in our relationships. The chase is exciting now. We can also be a little more impatient.
