Astro Daily: April 11, 2024

The Moon’s in Gemini, a sign that wants to move and explore as well as set in motion the new beginnings that we forged with the Aries New Moon. With Mercury in Aries, it’s a fast-paced day. Conversations are quick, perhaps a little heated, too.

Just because Mercury is retrograde, doesn’t mean our lives grind to a halt. We just have to use our critical thinking skills more. Normally Mercury in Aries is impulsive. It goes by its gut. But with a Moon in Gemini picking up on Mercury Retrograde, it means that we have to be careful of being too impulsive.

Mercury Retrograde invites us, over a three to four-week period, to be more conscientious about how we think, communicate, listen, and make choices. It’s not to say that things don’t get a little screwy, but it’s just so that we take the time to be more deliberate.

As you probably know, we’re only a few days out from a solar eclipse, which is also a little screwy. Time is still weird. Energy is still weird. Whatever new beginnings the eclipse seeded are still unfolding. April is just getting started.

If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for April 12, 2024.
