On Sunday, April 18th, 2021 Mercury is conjunct the Sun in the sign of Aries. Mercury is
regarded as the ruler of the third house. It is the planet of our day to day expression and
relationships. Mercury governs travel, technology and information. It is now half way through
its cycle. Mercury-Sun conjunctions (when Mercury is direct) happen right in the middle of the
Mercury cycle. This is about manifesting what was started at the beginning of the Mercury
cycle that began February 8th, 2021. Look back to see what was happening at that time with
you for further insight on the completion of this Mercury cycle.
On Monday, April 19th, 2021 The Sun and Mercury both enter the earthy, grounded sign of
Taurus. The Sun represents our identity and how we shine out into the world. With this
combined energy we will experience a sudden energetic shift from fiery, passionate Aries
energy to a more grounded, earthy Taurus feel. The focus will now be taking what was started
in Aries and now beginning to create a plan that will make this idea more stable and abundant.
This is an energy of endurance and is firmly rooted in growth for the future. Taurus is all about
solid steps and concrete results. If in the Aries season we felt inspired and came up with many
ideas, now is the time for you to make things happen. The Sun and Mercury in Taurus is here to
give us the practical intelligence and stamina we need to make our ideas a reality.
On Friday, April 23rd, 2021 Mars enters Cancer. Mars the explorer, in his home sign of Aries,
makes the shift from fire into the watery sign of Cancer. Mars is the planet of action, and
Cancer is the sign of privacy and security…together representing protection of our shell and
comfort zone. Mars in Cancer can be emotional and sensitive, and has an outer shell…the shell
is solid as a rock and he will not hesitate to use its pinchers, if he feels threatened. Cancer
being a cardinal sign wants to move forward and start new things. The upcoming six weeks are
a good time to begin to draw stronger boundaries, and fight to protect what is important to
you. The goal will be to create a safer, more nurturing environment, that will allow room for
growth and a feeling of freedom.
On Saturday, April 24th, Mercury is conjunct Uranus in Taurus. When the planet of
communication, travel and technology meets up in the sky with the planet of shock and
surprises, we can expect insights and breakthroughs, a-ha moments, and important
announcements! I look forward to the transit as an opportunity to gain clarity and to receive
additional information needed for projects to move forward.
On Sunday, April 25th, Mercury is conjunct Venus at Taurus. The head (Mercury) and the heart
(Venus) unite!!! Your communication is more persuasive than usual, and you will find it easier
to articulate your thoughts and feelings. This transit is a great opportunity for you to put words
to your thoughts and feelings letting those around you how you really feel.
On Monday, April 26th, 2021 we have a Full Moon in the deep, watery sign of Scorpio. This Full
Moon is opposite Uranus in Taurus and trine Mars in Cancer. This is a lot of energy!!! All Full
Moons in Scorpio by definition are intense… and this lunation is no exception. Full moons bring about closures, endings and are times where things are completely illuminated (figuratively and
literally). The moon rules our emotions and when she is full, her qualities are magnified and we
feel things more intensely. When we experience a full moon is in Scorpio, feelings become
spiritually deep and we craves intimacy. Conversations that you have been avoiding may have
been simmering on the surface… and could now “boil over.” Mars, the planet of heat in a water
sign will fuel our emotions even more, while Uranus will seek an outlet for them.
To see where this plays out in your chart look to your rising and sun sign.
