April - The Aries Stellium, A Decisive Time And Lots of Fire
The Full Moon in Libra at 12 degrees April 1 at 9:13 pm CDT
This full Moon is opposite the overload of Aries energy on the opposite side of the zodiac. It requires us to achieve balance between our own agency and the needs of our partners. This full Moon pushes us to a moment of truth that insists we negotiate with our partners and those who oppose us. The full Moon brings conclusions especially for Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn.
The Gathering Of Planets in Aries, A Stellium
March brought us an overload of Pisces energy. Mars, the warrior planet, stirred up emotions, the waterways, and the world supply of oil in the already changing world order. The strait of Hormuz and the shipping of oil are changing how the rest of the world operates. Pisces rules shipping and oil including its byproducts. On the other side of the world, Hawaii experienced its worst floods in 50 years.
By the way, the United States began Operation Epic Fury with Mercury retrograde. Never start anything with Mercury retrograde.
As of March 20, the Sun joined Neptune, Saturn, the goddess of strife and discord Eris, and wounded healer Chiron in Aries. Eris and Chiron are conjunct, further stirring up those who are trying to hold onto power, especially men.
The Setup
Mars joins this stellium in Aries April 10 and crosses Neptune April 12/13 then Saturn April 19. Mercury moves into Aries April 14 and crosses Neptune April 16 and Saturn April 20 before moving into Taurus April 20.
The new Moon at 6:53 am CDT April 17 is at 27 degrees Aries with a harsh angle to Uranus about to leave Taurus. At the same time Mercury and Mars are sextile Pluto in the zodiac which is very close to the south node of the United States. Pluto on the south node of the United States’ natal chart continues to expose the United States’ government machinations.
BUT WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN TO US?
Neptune, Saturn, the Sun and now Mars and Mercury crossing the first degree of the zodiac brought a challenge to all of us. We will all be affected this month and in the future by the world events that occur in the middle of April. The most intense times of the month and maybe the year occur April 12 to 22. In reality, there are more days in April that require our vigilance than days that are easy unless you are Sagittarius or Leo.
Aries says “I am”. Collectively we will be taking action to rebuild our identities within the world. The world as we know it is dissolving. Governments are changing. Our tribes are shifting. Our disagreements over ideology are ending relationships. Who we think we are is evolving. Many of us who thought our countries of origin were the good guys discovered they are not. Many of us have pointed the finger at others and labeled them the bad guys. Our relationships and alliances are being exposed for the damage they do and their hyprocrisies.
Strategic actions will be initiated to deal with decisive moments and events that occur this month.
Conflicts will persist and, in some cases, will become localized. People will wake up and realize their mission and truth. Loyalties will fall apart as citizens of the world question their leaders and alliances. Civil protests will take root and people will take action. There is a large group of people on this planet who are not happy with what a much smaller group of people are doing. During mid-April, the larger group will take decisive action to change the course of governmental decisions in many places around the world. People will be willing to take risks as underlying influences and people are exposed along with their motives. People are losing the will to die for someone else’s plans.
Aries is a pioneer and the pioneers among us will awaken in mid-April. They will take action to restructure the systems and rid us of structures that no longer serve the people across the planet. The time to reflect on what is happening will be replaced by constructive plans to mobilize for a new society together. As the people of the world mobilize, we will realize that we can love our neighbors and look out for one another as the people of Minneapolis did for one another.
Aries is a youthful sign. We will see the younger people of the world speaking up and taking action to ensure a sound future.
Fire is sure to occur in many places. Forest fires will occur and some will be set on purpose. Firemen will be needed big time.
The bottom line is that in April we will know that deception is our enemy and that knowledge will fuel our resolve and make our path clear. The decisive action we must take will gain speed as humanity joins to remake the world for all of us.
Uranus moves into Gemini
Uranus moves into Gemini April 25 for the next seven years. It dips out of Gemini in 2032 and finally moves into Cancer in the spring of 2033.
Uranus moved into Gemini in May of 1942 seven months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The United States entered the war. Codes were used to send messages, and the radio was used for war propaganda. Google Tokyo Rose. She was a propaganda tool used by the Japanese government. This was one way that communication (Gemini) was used to fight the war.
Atomic bombs were developed and used to end the war with Japan. The first general use computer, The ENIAC, was developed and the Cold War began. The US became a superpower and the Chinese Revolution occurred during the last transit of Uranus through Gemini.
The American Revolution and the American Civil War also occurred during past transits of Uranus through Gemini. Each war was fought because of divisive philosophies and actions of the countries at war. At the same time though, these wars and revolutions brought identity shifts to countries along with technological breakthroughs.
Did you know that during WWll the movie actress Hedy Lamar, together with composer George Antheil, invented a radio guidance system for torpedoes? This led to the eventual invention of WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth.
So, what can we expect this time around? More technological advances, especially in communication and transportation. Our ways of exchanging ideas will change. There will be out-of-this-world innovations, revolutions, and new ways to educate ourselves. Oklahoma should be happy for that. Over the next seven years we must adapt to these changes to survive. Borders will change and new ways to transportation and communication will emerge. Given the current challenges, there has been an uptick in train travel in the Easter corridor of the United States. Subtle changes to how we live are already happening.
It’s Not All Intense. Well, Maybe…
April 3-5
In the shadow of the full Moon April 1, Mercury in Pisces is harmonious to Jupiter in Cancer. This sweet aspect brings nurturing growth. Family is supportive, compassionate, and healing.
The Sun in Aries is also square Jupiter in Cancer, calling for campaigns and big plans. Due to Venus square Pluto, someone will look for a green light to cause problems.
April 8
With all the intensity of the Aries stellium, this is a time of inspired decisions. With Mars still in Pisces, many of us will enthusiastically meet our life’s work and destiny based on actions and decisions now. Ride the tide.
April 23
Venus crosses Uranus at the last degree of Taurus. While this is a quick transit, Venus will not cross Uranus in Taurus for another 84 years. This creates a critical completion involving our values, money, and love. Choices will be forced and conclusions occur in our lives. We may leave a relationship or lean into it more deeply. Marilyn Monroe was born with Venus conjunct Uranus at 29 degrees Taurus. She was a Gemini juggling her personal crises yet she was one of the most desired women of her time. How is that for the duality of Gemini? This is an iconic aspect. Use the days around this day wisely.
April 25
Hours before Uranus moves into Gemini, the Sun in Taurus is square Pluto in Aquarius. This is a surefire aspect that harbors coercion, manipulation, and deception. People in our lives and on the world stage will throw more power at the battle to influence the narrative.
April 26
Venus in Gemini is sextile Neptune in Aries while Mercury in Aries is square Jupiter in Cancer. Communication will be supportive, but the messages we receive may not be sincere.
April 28
Venus in Gemini is trine Pluto in Aquarius. This is a great time for sharing ideas and coming to agreement. Many of us will be attracted to people that are vastly different in culture, education, communication or even sex appeal. Relationships will shift positively.

Read the summary with your calendar that shows the whole month on one page. Read through the intro and make note of the days that I point out. Mark the new Moon and the full Moon. The days between the new Moon and the full Moon are when you generally want to start something that you want to grow. Do look at that Moon void chart and take a rest on those days. I have discovered that no matter what I plan, it turns out another way on a Moon void day. Anything you try to accomplish will turn out with unexpected results.
Make note of the three days before the new Moon. People usually get anxious during these days because the phone does not ring or they feel confused or simply nothing is happen. That is because it is wind down time before the new Moon. You will usually notice that the action of life picks up once the new Moon occurs. Also note the days that planets change directions, especially Mercury retrograde.
Hopefully these suggestions will give you a bit of a start to maneuvering through life with astrology.
