From Aries to Taurus, April 2026: Find your Courage!
Greetings Dear Astrology Lovers,
The month of April presents us with an enormous dose of forward-moving energy while at the same time cautioning us to plan carefully, taking future outcomes into account. Are you up for this challenge?
The biggest planetary event this month is Uranus, the Awakener, taking its place firmly in Gemini for the next 7 years, This new vibration will accelerate spiritual change on the individual level as well as technological developments and artificial intelligence on a global scale.
Uranus is the modern ruler of Astrology and Mercury, at home in Gemini, is the traditional ruler. The next seven years appear to bode well for our Art!
Gemini is associated with communication and the sharing of information through community: we are invited to be open to radical changes in these areas! Simultaneously, Uranus traveling through air-sign Gemini promises great advancements in space travel and surgery related to the lungs, arms and hands.
With so many other planets in the sign of initiating Aries this month (Sun, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune) together with the shift of Uranus, make time to check in with yourself. What can we let go of from the last 7-year cycle (Uranus in Taurus)? What would we like our communication and community to look like by 2033? A good time to journal.
Wishing us the “patience to pause and plan”, as well as stellar insights, this April!
MINDFUL APRIL PLANNER
1st–3rd: The month begins with a magnificent Full Moon at 12° Libra on the very first of the month – what better way to begin a search for inner freedom from bondage? Allow something balanced to enter into all interactions during this period. Avoid excess; speak your truth without being intrusive (Moon square Jupiter; Mercy in Pisces trine Jupiter; Venus square Pluto).
10th – 13th: On Friday the 10th, Mars enters the sign of Aries where it is at home and can act decisively — we may see military action on the world’s stage once again. In our own lives, this is a window to be honest with ourselves: where do we most need to take courageous action?
13th – 20th: Mars translates the light of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction as it moves over it, one degree at a time. All the energetic impulsiveness of the previous few days may now seem stagnant, thwarted or without a clear outcome. Remain centered and take time to plan your next move. All delays are according to Divine Time.
With Mercury, our mindset planet, entering Aries on the 15th, we might not feel this way, as our minds may be racing to get to the finish line.
The New Moon at 27° Aries on the 17th gives us two options: act in haste — or have the courage to foresee the outcome of events and act with this in mind — the choice is up to us now.
Take the 20th as a day of adjustment — we will need it! — as the Sun leaves Aries for earthy Taurus. Happy birthday dear Taurus friends!Â
Â
24th – 25th: Venus, the planet of relating and values, hooks up with Uranus, providing a last intensive burst for fixed sign people (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) before she dips into Gemini…
…only to have Uranus follow Venus on the 25th into Gemini. The signal is clear: we are now entering a new phase in our relationships. May they resonate with the scent of the divine: may we bring the love of the heavens down to earth and live as twin-flame beings.
Â
May the Sun shine upon you,
Catherine

The Gardener is coming!
Today he picks the flowers,
Tomorrow us!”
