The Week of April 20th, 2026

A new era of innovation with Uranus in Gemini

The astrology of the week of April 20th, 2026, puts our endurance to the test. The Mars–Saturn conjunction highlights where our systems, boundaries, and long-term plans are struggling to stay afloat — but it also brings us the courage we need to face the challenges and obstacles ahead. As Mercury meets up with Mars and Saturn, we get more clarity on the difficulties we’re up against. And Uranus’ return to Gemini begins a seven-year shake-up of the world order as we know it and launches us into a whole new era of innovation. Now is the time to get strategic and stay focused. Remember: Even small progress is still progress.

The Week of April 13th, 2026

A once-in-a-lifetime 7-planet pile-up in Aries

The astrology of the week of April 13th, 2026, demands our courage. Venus’ sextile with Jupiter helps us forge connections and build momentum for our movements. And with the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, and Chiron all piled up in Aries, there are a lot of bold moves brewing. When Chiron and the Sun come together, we get clarity on which actions we need to take in order to heal. And the Aries New Moon and Mars–Saturn meet-up both dare us to do what’s difficult, no matter what limitations we’re facing. Now is the time to stay focused on your goals — but don’t overwhelm yourself by taking on too much.

The Week of April 6th, 2026

Action and reaction with Mars in Aries

The astrology of the week of April 6th, 2026, brings a surge of energy and a call to do something with it. The Sun’s exaltation in Aries gives us the confidence boost we need to be bold and blaze new trails, and Mars’ sextile to Uranus powers us to get our current projects over the finish line. Then Mars moves into Aries, meets up with Neptune, and turns up the urge to act fast on our dreams. Just remember to pace yourself. You can’t help build a better world if you burn out at the very beginning.
