This Week in Astrology
April 17 – April 23, 2023
Key Events
Sun moves from Aries into Taurus this week... shifting the energy from Aries's themes to Taurus's. Pay attention to the areas of life governed by Sun... a new chapter begins.
Mercury stations retrograde this week in Taurus. The themes governed by Mercury slow down and turn inward... this is a time for review and reflection rather than pushing forward.
The Moon This Week
The Moon passes through 4 signs this week: Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini.
The Moon in Pisces dissolves the edges of the day into something softer and more permeable. Intuition heightens, empathy deepens, and the collective mood becomes dreamy, artistic, and emotionally absorbent.
The Moon in Aries charges the collective mood with urgency and directness. Energy is high, patience is low, and the impulse to act runs ahead of the plan. A good day for starting... a risky day for reacting.
The Moon in Taurus slows the pace and turns attention toward comfort, stability, and the senses. The collective mood favors building over disrupting, savoring over rushing. A grounding day.
The Moon in Gemini fills the air with chatter, curiosity, and mental restlessness. Communication is lively but scattered. A good day for brainstorming... less good for committing to one thing.
