The Sun moves into Aries, urging us to act too quickly, speak too loudly, and show an overflowing enthusiasm. On the 5th, it would be wise to channel our energy rather than letting emotions run unchecked. From the 20th, the Sun enters Taurus, a more peaceful sign. However, we should avoid becoming stubborn in the face of necessary changes in our personal lives, as well as in our professional, social, or broader world contexts. Taurus does not appreciate being pushed to its limits.Mercury remains in Pisces until the 15th, actively stimulating our minds, freeing our imagination, and sparking lively debates, on the 3rd and 14th, brilliant ideas emerge, and a wave of optimism enhances our creativity. From the 15th, the "messenger of the gods" moves into Aries, strongly influencing our choices and behaviors. Between the aspiration to approach a dream or ideal (17th), the desire to bring our projects into reality (18th), and the need to make tangible progress, Mercury keeps our minds buzzing. It also advises thinking before acting to lay solid foundations for our creations (20th).
Venus in Taurus triggers tension around the 3rd, jealousy, disputes, and emotional strain may mark a challenging day. In contrast, this delightful planet sparks our desire to love and be loved on the 13th and encourages unexpected encounters around the 24th. That day favors intense rekindlings, love at first sight, and sudden realizations about our attachments. From the 24th, Venus moves into Gemini, offering late-month opportunities (28th) to experience the thrill of love.
Mars leaves Pisces on the 9th, after strongly motivating us to break from routines, reinvent our lives, and see the world differently. From the 9th, the fiery planet enters Aries, its home sign, fueling our need for broader horizons and to serve a higher purpose (13th). The goal is not to remain vague or detached from reality but to fully commit to ambitious projects that transform what has run its course (16th). It also advises against rushing headlong, emphasizing the importance of building strong, lasting foundations for our plans (20th).
Jupiter has been transiting Cancer since last June 9, aiming to create order so that we live in structures that protect us and provide a sense of security. In April, Jupiter may encourage overestimating our abilities or displaying excessive enthusiasm or arrogance in our words and actions (5th, 26th). On the other hand, its dynamic energy on the 13th rekindles our desire to live in a warm, loving, and supportive world, while inspiring us to enjoy the present moment fully.
Saturn slightly tempers Aries’ impulsiveness but supports new beginnings and directions that may take time to establish, while providing stability and durability. In April, this austere planet perfectly plays its role as regulator, urging us to rein in impulses and carefully consider how to build our ambitions on solid ground. Acting in haste is not advised (19th, 20th), even if the temptation is strong.
Uranus has been back in Taurus since last November 8, encouraging us to break away from habits and systems that once reassured us but are now outdated. This zodiac free spirit invites us to leave our comfort zone, and from April 26, when it enters Gemini, to move between different phases of life without feeling destabilized. In April, Uranus promotes initiatives that break with the past, abandon outdated routines (8th, 14th), and formulate revolutionary concepts that allow us to reshape our reality and embrace a more inspiring, supportive vision of the world (24th). From the 26th, Uranus enters Gemini.
Neptune, which has been back in Aries since January 26, gives new momentum to a world in dire need of vision. It encourages fresh ideals that inspire societies while warning against claiming ultimate truths. In April, Neptune urges us to elevate our ideals, open our hearts, and believe in the possibility of a better world (13th, 17th, 26th). This is a time to aim high and commit to bringing out the best in humanity.
Pluto in Aquarius opens doors, for better or worse. Access to a world where technology and artificial intelligence improve our daily lives, especially in medicine, coexists with the risk of virtualizing our reality to the point of disconnect and potential misuse. We must remain masters of our creations to ensure they never overpower us and serve only noble purposes. In April, the "lord of transformation" stirs the pot and brings emotions ( sometimes difficult to manage) to the surface (3rd, 25th). Fortunately, our determination to realize new ideals prevails (16th, 18th, 28th).
Astrology: What You Need to Know
As the Moon moves at full speed in the zodiac (it travels approximately one sign in two days), we can't detail its evolution in our astral press review! However, its influence can activate sensitive points in the map of our sky... If you wish to know the Moon's position day by day, consult the ephemerides*, which will inform you about the daily position of the planets.
GMT (Greenwich time meridian): universal time to which you have to add (currently) for France one hour in winter and two hours in summer to determine at what exact moment the planet enters a new sign, crosses another planet, etc...
The planets in retrograde: The apparent movement of a planet that gives the impression that the planet stops and then starts again. This phenomenon actually results from the difference between the speed of revolution of the planet and Earth around the Sun. In astrology, a retrograde represents a force that works against the current. Generally, it corresponds to the internalization of energy. Sometimes, it means restraining evolution and recommends that the individual ask themselves about the work to be done to free themselves from the debts of the past or to exploit their potential more consciously!
Domicile of a planet: The sign in which a planet evolves in affinity (for example, Venus in Taurus). The planet then expresses its potential without constraint, freely and creatively...
