We are still in the shadow of the two eclipses in March and most of the planets are relatively close to the same places they were then so I expect more strangeness through around April 18th when Saturn and Venus in Pisces will be conjunct the north node and sextile to Uranus conjunct the fixed star, Algol, in Taurus.
To me it is kind of a breaking point and the energy feels like the scene from the movie Moonstruck, when Cher slaps Nicholas Cage and yells at him to “snap out of it”!
Mercury goes direct on April 7th at 27° Pisces, its sign of debilitation, and moves into Aries on April 16th where it will conjunct Neptune for a day or so and then immediately start moving forward away from that illusion/delusion energy on the 17th.
This will bring more clarity about “reality” and a desire for action. It gets to 14 degrees of Aries by April 30th. Mercury in Aries is sharp, quick, and likes to get on with it; no more dilly-dallying allowed.
Venus is still retrograde until April 12, which is also the day of the full Moon in Libra, a Venus-ruled sign. She stations and goes direct at 24 degrees of Pisces. This degree is within minutes of the total lunar eclipse degree on March 14th, thereby activating that energy again. She moves through the last degree of Pisces on April 30th. Pisces is her sign of exaltation, though she does get a reality check from a conjunction with Saturn, basically all month. They are friends and Saturn can keep a rein on Venus’ love of luxury and tendency to spend a lot of money and overindulge. In that respect, it is a good match and can serve one well during these uncertain and financially volatile times.
