STAR CODES
RECOMBOBULATE, STRAIGHTEN OUT RECENT PROBLEMS, and pick up threads of a project. Mercury just turned direct after a three-week retrograde, and we have some cleaning up to do. Our job right now is to dream, consider possibilities, and prepare over the weekend as Mars conjuncts Neptune.
Over the course of this spring, we have an opportunity to come through a portal and change some personal or political eras. The eclipse in early April shifted groundwork: Last week’s Jupiter-uranus conjunction seeded new technological and social surprises, and that recent Mercury retrograde cycle completed a chapter, offering a reset point. We were instructed to dissolve old structures with the Mars-saturn conjunction last week; this week we’re encouraged to wake and envision our road forward as Mars conjuncts inspiring, dreamy Neptune.
This new road gets a fresh power pack as Mars enters fiery Aries on Tuesday, so let’s get headed in a good direction — or run into an old wall. We could also see plans unfold that don’t have the best for all sentient beings in mind. Powerful Pluto turns retrograde on Thursday and reminds us the great power struggles of our time don’t go away until there is safety and empowerment for all sentient beings.
FRIDAY, APRIL 26: Much comes unjammed, but we have the steadiness to handle some potentially tedious reorganization and prepare for the next chapter. Don’t hurry; with a major reset in progress there’s no point in building momentum yet, just straighten out the path. A Sagittarius moon encourages honesty, laughter, and reconnection.
SATURDAY, APRIL 27: Be kind as well as honest. Expect restlessness with delays. The Sagittarius moon pushes us toward springtime frolic, but that moon also squares Saturn and loads up obligations. Reward good behavior with spontaneous moments and a whiff of the green world. Evening restlessness can bring minor accidents unless we pay attention.
SUNDAY, APRIL 28: Look for revelations about recent misperceptions and fix them. We want to be busily decisive as the moon enters industrious Capricorn, but it’s still premature. Dream the future into action as active Mars conjuncts inspirational Neptune. This aspect can also leave us permeable, sensitized to pollens and the effects of words upon our soul. Watch for problematic weather and liquids.
MONDAY, APRIL 29: Venus joins the sun, Uranus, and Jupiter all in cuddly, embodied Taurus; our thoughts turn to seed catalogs and seedbed preparation. In the rich, fertile loam of the weeks ahead, plant seedlings, ideas, relationships, and good karma for the season. Morning starts industriously working on the past; by evening we turn forward.
TUESDAY, APRIL 30: Life can take on a superhero/disaster movie simple urgency as Mars enters action-oriented Aries. Make sure a tender heart can live with all sudden decisions as Venus squares Pluto. Every fork in the road brings both the potential for grief of the road left behind and excitement at the new road ahead. Kindness, not enabling, furthers under a collective Aquarian moon. WEDNESDAY, MAY 1: Happy May Day. May there be flowers waiting at the door. Where we have planted the seeds of healthy social constructs, we now see new growth. Where we have chosen to go our own way, we may feel a cool, lonely breeze. Proactively break isolation, and bring flowers to another’s door. THURSDAY, MAY 2: Power dynamics shift, whether a weather system, war, or breakfast politics. Step toward mutual empowerment and be honest about danger as Pluto retrogrades and the moon enters sensitizing Pisces. Let tender hearts lead. Tonight, share concrete support, good food, and positive feedback for managing recent risks.
