April '26 Astrology Guide
I don't say this to be dramatic. I say it cause I really mean it. The astrology of April is not here to play, because we are in the thick of this collective rebirth. And it's not going away anytime soon.
What do I mean when I say that? Well, with all of the historic generational outer planet transits, we are experiencing astrologically speaking- the planets, the stars, the energy, the collective energy is not gonna calm down till at least 2040. We are in this rebirth for the next 15 years.
This month especially is extremely high energy. We have six planets in Aries, so that Saturn, Neptune conjunction that historic outer planet transit is really gonna be activated this month. And this month starts out with a Full Moon in Libra, which is the opposite of Aries.
So by the time we get to the new moon in Aries mid month, the fire of rebirth is here. There's no more resisting this. There's no more avoiding it. It's here. It's now the shift that everybody has spiritually been feeling in their body and their bones for the last few years. It's here. It's now. In case that wasn't obvious to you.
April 1 Full Moon in Libra
This Full Moon is pushing for change, big time, personally and collectively. Especially collectively. There is a super intense t-square!
A t-square is a high, high tension aspect pattern formed by two opposing planets, both squaring one planet.
Think of it this way. The two planets that are opposing each other are boxing. And the planet that they are both squaring is kind of like the ring that they are boxing in. It is where that tension is going to manifest energetically both internally and externally. There is a t-square with this Full Moon.
This t-square is formed by an opposition between the Sun in Aries, which is still close enough to the Saturn and Neptune conjunction to where it is still carrying that energy as well. So we have those planets and that energy in one corner, right? And the other opposing planet here is the Full Moon in Libra. The apex, the planet that both of these energies, these planets are squaring is Jupiter in Cancer.
So we have individualistic and individual goals ideals restructuring in one corner. In the other corner with the Full Moon in Libra, we have this huge balancing energy of needing there to be a harmonious balance, which, with everything going on, takes a lot of work. Which brings us to the apex- Jupiter in Cancer. Cancer represents home, personal security, emotional security, home security, feeling secure in yourself and with your loved ones.
The Saturn and Neptune conjunction in Aries has brought authoritarianism to the forefront. It has brought the harms of patriarchal individualism and white narcissism to the forefront.
Saturn is a planet of boundaries, of authority, of discipline. Neptune is a planet of dreams, of illusions, of intuition, mysticism. It is boundless. So when the planet of boundaries and the planet of boundless expansive energy come together, we see complete societal restructuring, illusions being confirmed, dreams becoming real.
And when I think about dreams, nightmares are also dreams, right? So ontological crisis is a big theme with that conjunction.
We've seen a lot of conspiracy theories being proven as real with the Saturn and Neptune transit, including the Epstein files. We are seeing just how breakable democracy and our government is here in the United States [so called United States].
The wealth gap of our society keeps widening.
There are major imbalances in today's modern world unjust imbalances, which absolutely affect us at home in our bodies, our minds, our emotional state, our emotional well being, our somatic well being, our physical well being, our personal security, our home security, our livelihood, our lives.
So this t square between the Sun in Aries carrying that Saturn Neptune conjunction energy against this full moon in Libra bubbling towards Jupiter, the planet of expansion of opportunity in the sign of cancer again, home homes, personal security, like we've talked about.
This full moon is absolutely here to put a spotlight on the major imbalances that are no longer sustainable globally.
And this spotlight is further amplified by an outer planet minor triangle, which kicks in with this full moon. This minor triangle will carry through August 2032. The fact that this kicks in on April 1st, the historical, original new year, is no mistake. We truly are entering a whole new era. And this era is being rung in with the Imperial boomerang.
What's a minor triangle? So a grand trine is made up of three planets that are all trining each other. A minor triangle is when there are two planets trining each other, and they are both sextiling a third planet.
A trine has much more flow, has much more harmony compared to a sextile. However, a sextile is still very much a beneficial aspect. So while a grand trine is amazing, it can sometimes have a hard time manifesting and be much more internalized, versus a minor triangle has just the tiniest bit more tension. And that tiny bit of tension is what's going to help push that minor triangle to manifestation.
This minor triangle which again, doesn't end until August 2032, is shaped by Pluto in Aquarius trining Uranus at the end of Taurus (about to ingress into Gemini), both of which sextiling the Saturn-Neptune conjunction. So all of these outer planets are going to be harmoniously flowing with each other, and having a high energy discussion about humanitarian restructuring.
And something I want to note here with this minor triangle is that Pluto is making beneficial aspects to both of Aquarius rulers, both traditional and modern. Aquarius being a sign of humanitarianism, innovation, intellectuality, uniqueness.
So we have the transformational, innovative forces of Uranus and Pluto working together, directed by and focusing on the Saturnian responsibilities to Neptune, the collapsing boundaries, the collapsing structure of our society.
Given all of the supercharged energy of this t-square and the minor triangle of this Full Moon- at the very, very bare minimum, this full moon will be a collective acknowledgement, both internally and externally, that things have to change. How uncomfortable we are now, and how uncomfortable that change is going to be.
Like Gil Scott Heron said, the revolution will not be televised. It takes hard, hard work, and we all have a role to play. And it starts here.
And when I think about that energy of collective acknowledgement both internally and externally on a global scale, I feel like it's highly likely that we're going to get more global fallout of the geopolitical tensions we are all experiencing and further uncoupling globally from the US.
The UN is coming to mind, particularly the recent announcement or statement that they are preparing for the potentiality of nuclear war with the Iran war.
Another thing that comes to mind is like I said, the Epstein files have been a big Saturn Neptune conjunction thing. The energy crisis is coming to mind, cause that's going to continue getting worse as this war worsens. And so that's bound to be a thing with this full moon.
And also over the last week or so, we've started to see the Al bubble start to pop. So it feels probable that that will continue on with this Full Moon.
For how this affects you personally, I of course recommend you look at your birth chart, look at your Aries house and your Libra house as well as the conditions of your moon and your sun.
This collective acknowledgement of things needing to change that we cannot put it off anymore. This truth is being highlighted with this Full Moon, and will be fortified over the next couple weeks as the Moon moves through the signs and wanes her way to the Aries New Moon.
And before we get to that new moon, over the span of those couple weeks, we have a couple major transits to discuss.
Mars in Aries
On the 9th, Mars moves into his domicile, his home of Aries. Mars, of course, is the planet of drive, aggression, action, energy, representing how you assert yourself, how you pursue your goals, and how you handle conflict. This is why Mars rules Aries, the sign of trail blazing, initiatory, courageous, bold, often impulsive cardinal fire. The beginning of the zodiac. The spark of life.
The passive soft indirect fluctuating energy of Mars in Pisces transforms into the quick, bold, direct high energy of Mars in its home of Aries.
Given that there are six planets in Aries this month. As Mars moves through its home, it will of course activate multiple planets, including Saturn and Neptune, Mercury and Chiron. And it will be sextile Pluto in Aquarius.
Quite literally, the fog is clearing, and it is full steam ahead on the collective rebirth as Mars interacts with all of these planets, it will provide high octane fuel for this rebirth.
Given that Mars is a planet of aggression, the planet of war, we will, of course, see this war with Iran intensify. Trump has talked a lot about putting boots on the ground as of recently. I'm sure we will see a lot of that. And of course, that will intensify the situation. Furthermore, l expect this to put a fire under the asses of the rest of the world. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of breaking news, aggressive developments overall globally from this war this month. We can absolutely expect the imperial boomerang to hit even stronger, even harder, even more forcefully.
Speaking of the imperial boomerang, we can also absolutely expect this powerful energy to force us to face the realities of today. We can absolutely expect aggressive pushes into our life to break away from individualism and capitalism, and build more sustainable systems of support in our lives. This will absolutely be tested throughout
Mars and Aries.
For further details about how this hits personally, I once again recommend you look at your birth chart, look at your house, look at your Aries house, and also look at the condition of your Mars.
Mercury in Aries
Then on the14th, Mercury sextiles Uranus and then ingresses into Aries. The Mercury in Pisces overthinking overwhelmed waters are shocked into clarity by the disruptive planet of Uranus, and then even more electrified by the bold quick blunt fires of Aries.
Mercury, of course, is the planet of communication, intellect, and knowledge. Given all of the other planets in Aries. And, like Mars, how Mercury too is going to be interacting with multiple planets- There's likely going to be a lot of conflict, a lot of disagreements, a lot of fighting energy that we are going to have to navigate through. We are going to feel absolutely emboldened and feel the impulse to, to act on how we feel.
For further details about how this hits personally, I once again recommend you look at your birth chart, look at your house, look at your Aries house, and also look at the condition of your Mercury.
April 17 New Moon in Aries
And then on the 17th, we have the New Moon in Aries.
We still have that minor triangle between the outer planets like we talked about earlier.
Wednesday the 15th, when the moon enters Aries, the Moon can join Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, and Mars all in the same day. We always feel moon cycles at least three days before and three days after. So the 15th, we are going to start feeling that New Moon energy high key as the moon makes all of these conjunctions.
Thursday the 16th, the sun conjoins Chiron, the wounded healer, and the Moon squares Jupiter. So a tension arises between personal comforts + security and individualism, individuality, personal identity, egoic emotional status.
Which brings us to the 17th when the Moon conjoins Chiron and the Sun. Chiron, again, being the wounded healer in the sign of Aries. Survival wounds, individualistic wounds are going to be highlighted.
So the recognition of imbalances that started this month with the Full Moon in Libra comes full circle to this New Moon and reveals to us personal aspects of the way we personally are imbalanced by all of this, not just in our external reality, but also in our internal minds, our bodies, every part of our lives. Because individualism affects every part of our lives. The urge to act on how we feel the injustices and imbalances that are firing our bellies culminates into this new moon with a huge
impulse to speak up and act up upon the inner truth that was acknowledged with the Full Moon.
So all of those things that I mentioned with the Full Moon, the Epstein files, and the Iran war, and the energy crisis, and the Al bubble- all of those themes that we're starting out with in the beginning of the month, I expect to boil and reach a massive breaking point with this New Moon.
By this point, you should know to go look at your birth chart in your house of Aries to see how this affects you personally.
Venus in Gemini
The high octane energy of all of these planets in Aries, as well as this New Moon in Aries, is brought even more oxygen as Venus enters Gemini on the 23rd. Venus will exit her domicile, her home of Taurus, and enter the mutable air sign of Gemini represented by the twins.
Gemini symbolizes intellectuality, curiosity, adaptability, duality, and sociability. This marks a transition from the slow, sensual affection of Venus in Taurus into the flirty, playful, intellectually stimulating Venus in Gemini.
Venus here encourages experimentation and variety, focusing on flexibility, freedom, and intellectual capability. Gemini can create fast paced distracted energy, details can be blurred and misinterpreted. And that, and the possibility of misinterpretation is of course only further amplified by everything that is going to be an Aries this month.
How to Get Through the Month
So for this entire month, I HIGHLY suggest not to be impulsive. Think before you speak, think before you act. Do what you need to do to release what you need to release and not project it. Do what you need to do to stay grounded, particularly staying grounded in your authentic self.
And furthermore, work on self love so that you can step out boldly confidently as your authentic self, knowing what you have to offer in this collective rebirth, and the role you are meant to play, the roles you can play, knowing all that you can do, and with all of this Aries energy, Aries being a sign of individuality, try to see yours and your identity outside of individualism. Individualism and capitalism can bring about very rigid versions, visions, perspectives and understandings of our identity of who we are.
Collectivism doesn't take away individuality. It enhances it because it gives you more freedom to explore your identity and your passions and your love.
Do some shadow work to connect with who you are outside of individualism, outside of capitalism.
This month is all about aligning ourselves and our lives with our values, putting our money where our mouth is, aligning ourselves with our truth, aligning ourselves with the truth, taking action on that truth again, putting our money where our mouth is. Like I said, the rebirth is here and it cannot be avoided anymore.
And I say that with the utmost love because things have to change and we know it. And I think that's a good place to put a cap on this.
As always, the only way out is through sending you so much love.

Somatic Practices
1. The Atomic Breath (Libra Full Moon)
This practice uses the breath to dissolve the perceived boundary between your "individual" body and the "collective" world, reflecting the Libra Sun/Moon opposition.
Sit or stand with your feet flat on the ground, ideally outside. Close your eyes and visualize the atoms in your body as tiny, vibrating points of light.
The Inhale: As you breathe in, imagine you are pulling in the atoms of the air, the trees, and the soil. Feel them entering your lungs and diffusing into your bloodstream.
The Exhale: As you breathe out, visualize your own light-atoms expanding outward, weaving into the atmosphere around you.
The Connection: Maintain a rhythmic, circular breath. With each cycle, whisper internally, "I am the world breathing itself." Feel the weight of your body becoming both heavy (Gaia) and light (Libra Air) simultaneously.
2. The Sovereign Heart-Cradle (Mercury + Mars in Aries)
Aries is the sign of the "Self." This practice uses embodied presence to wake up the heart center and solidify your sense of "I Am-ness" amidst the collective shift.
The Activation (The Internal Spark): Rub your palms together quickly until you feel a noticeable heat. This is your "Aries fire"—your vital force.
The Hold (Heart Center): Place your dominant hand directly over the center of your chest, then place your other hand over it. Feel the warmth of your palms transferring through your clothes and into your skin.
The Sensation: Close your eyes and feel the rise and fall of your chest. Notice the boundary of your own body. Beneath your hands is the seat of your "I Am" presence.
The Grounding (Somatic Affirmation): Inhale deeply into the space beneath your palms. As you exhale, imagine any tension from "survival mode" or "individualistic pressure" melting away. Silently affirm: "I am my own safe harbor. I lead from a heart that is both sovereign and connected."
The Integration: Stay for three to five breaths, simply "beholding" yourself with the same compassion you would offer a dear friend.
3. The Fire-Purge Shake (Aries Stellium & New Moon)
With Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and the Sun all in Aries, the internal pressure can feel like a boiling kettle. This practice "burns" through the excess fuel so it doesn't turn into burnout or outbursts.
The Practice: Stand with your knees slightly bent. Begin to shake your hands vigorously as if trying to flick water off your fingertips.
The Expansion: Let the shaking travel up your arms, into your shoulders, and down into your torso and legs.
The Vocalization: As you shake, use "Lion’s Breath": Inhale deeply through your nose, then open your mouth wide, stick out your tongue, and exhale with a forceful "HA" sound.
The Visualization: Imagine the "Aries Fire" inside you is consuming old habits, fears, and frustrations. Every "HA" is the smoke leaving the chimney. Shake for 2–3 minutes until you feel a tingling heat in your skin.
4. The Unfettered Spark (Venus in Gemini + Aries Fire)
The goal of this practice is to bypass the inner critic and perfectionist delays by engaging in a rapid, timed burst of raw creative action. It serves to channel the high-octane energy of Aries and the playful curiosity of Venus in Gemini, transforming stagnant pressure into a pure, non-judgmental flow of self-expression.
The Medium: Choose any form of expression that feels accessible in the moment—doodling on a scrap of paper, humming a melody, "ugly" dancing in your kitchen, or even free-associating words out loud.
The Aries "Quick-Start": Don’t prepare. Don’t wait for an idea. Set a timer for just 3–5 minutes. The goal is to start before your brain has time to tell you "this is bad" or "this doesn't matter."
The Gemini Play: Use your hands or your voice (Gemini-ruled areas) to move as fast as your thoughts. If you’re painting, use vibrant Aries colors; if you're singing, let the sounds be loud and bold.
The Somatic Release: As you create, notice if your shoulders hunch or your breath catches. Purposefully soften your body and remind yourself: "This is for the process, not the product."
The Completion: When the timer goes off, stop immediately. Look at what you did (or feel the energy you moved) and give yourself a small nod of acknowledgment. Take note of how you felt during the practice, and what is coming up afterwards.
