Important Dates For April 15 - 21, 2024
Monday, April 15
The First Quarter Moon in Cancer will kick off the week, inspiring you to take action on the intention that you set with the New Moon in Aries. Cancer is the sign of home and family, so this could help you understand how to ground a great love affair into your everyday life or figure out how to more aptly progress your relationship into becoming true life partners. While the official Eclipse Portal closed on April 8 with the Aries Solar Eclipse, the energy will linger until the Full Moon in Scorpio at the end of April, so be mindful of events and timelines still having the ability to shift rapidly during this time.
Friday, April 19
Friday marks the start of Taurus Season. It’s time to focus on the security within your relationship and start to have the conversations necessary to feel confident you are on the same page. This can also be a time of sprucing up the home that you share with your partner or becoming more conscious about creating a space for love through soft textures in clothing and bedding. During this time, the idea is to pamper yourself and your partner but also to ensure you are doing the practical work necessary to set your relationship up for success.
Saturn in Pisces will align with the North Node in Aries on Friday, offering an opportunity to take what you’ve learned and evolve into the romantic fate that has always been destined for you. Saturn asks that you get serious and committed and really lean into the lessons of the universe, while the North Node promises that once you do, everything will change in the most amazing ways possible.
Saturday, April 20
The year 2024 truly brings some once-in-a-lifetime astrological transits to help usher you into a new phase of your life. However, you are still progressing through what the Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aries brought up. The week of April 15 brings another monumental event — the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus. Conjunctions mean that the two planets are so close in the same zodiac sign that their energies merge, creating one powerful force. In this case, it will affect the area of your life that Taurus shows up in. It not only holds the ability to change your life forever, but it also will help bring to fruition themes that first arose in 2023 when Jupiter first shifted into Taurus.
Jupiter and Uranus last united in 2011 in the zodiac sign of Pisces and will not again until 2037 in the sign of Cancer. With astrological transits, the less often one occurs, the greater the impact it will have on your life. Hence, it’s important to reflect on where Taurus energy shows up and prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to embrace the changes that will lead to your most abundant life.
Sunday, April 21
Asteroid Juno stations direct in Virgo, helping to bring opportunities for greater commitment, proposals, and engagements into your relationship. While this will be especially powerful for the zodiac signs of Pisces and Taurus that have Virgo in their houses of love, it will still serve to improve and help all relationships. Juno governs marriages, agreements, and contracts, so whether it’s a deeper commitment you’re seeking or a business partnership with your lover, this energy can help things progress more deeply. Juno direct and Mercury direct in just a few days on April 25. It’s time to follow your heart and let love lead truly.

It’s important to honor your emotional truth in every decision during this time, especially if it involves your family.
Cancer is the zodiac sign that governs your life's roots, helping you understand how important your family is and what you consider your 'home.'

On Monday, The First Quarter Moon will rise in your zodiac sign of Cancer, signaling that it’s time to take action on listening to your own emotions. First Quarter Moons represent beginning to take steps toward manifesting what you’ve set an intention for on the New Moon. In this case, you are being guided to take action on what arose for you with the New Moon in Aries.
