Astro Daily: April 17, 2019

Mercury moves into Aries and we’re ready to leap ahead. Seeing how Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, we’re making new decisions, heading in new directions, and rushing forward. With Mars in Gemini, it’s a time to explore, travel, and get curious, too.

We’re also just a couple of days away from a Libra Full Moon, one that will fall at 29 degrees, the very last degree of Libra. Twenty-nine degrees is a critical degree. It evokes the energy of Saturn. We have decisions to make and boundaries to set. We have to find a diplomatic solution. We’re being tested on our relationship skills.

So it’s likely that we’ll be navigating powerful energy over the next few days, energy meant to transform and awaken, tear down and rebuild. (April in general does not have easy astrology.) After all, there’s a strong current of Saturn and Pluto in the astrology this month. We’re feeling time and responsibility, the pressure to make changes, and the realization that in order to move forward we have to let go of the past.

As I mentioned earlier, now that Mercury is in Aries, life’s moving fast. We’re moving fast. We’re making new choices. We’re impatient and busy. We’re quick to come to conclusions. Just be careful about being too impulsive.

And just a note for my readers in Australia and New Zealand, because I’ve gotten this question a couple of times this week, this information is still relevant to you even though you’re 14-16 hours ahead of New York, where I am. Just apply this information to your “today”. If this is for April 17 on my end of the world, it’s for your April 18. Enjoy!
