Interesting week, by the looks of it. We have sharp minds & fluffy hearts, but we may be introspective or reminiscing, digging up old stuff that hurt us. Romantic partners may offer a source of support for some. For you unpartnered bitches, there is quite a bit of romance available thanks to Venus in floaty, sentimental, sensitive Pisces.
It doesn’t feel like a great week at the office for most of us (there are exceptions). There’s some chaos and some butt-hurt-ed-ness, as well as some bitterness possible. All of this comes to the surface for no greater purpose than healing, but that is not usually like a day at the spa. You know how it goes.We are motivated by this hurt though, and that’s positive, even if in the moment it may not feel like it. You may be ready to polish up your resume and get the hell out, or you may realize you’ve overlooked some benefits due to your tendency to sabotage when wounded.
Eris, Lilith and Mars are all present this week. Not to be outdone, even though her transit is overlooked, is Pallas. Pallas and Mercury together can be genius, and in some cases, that genius may be used to win a war. Eris and Lilith are present to make sure the underdog, the under represented, the oppressed, are strongly represented. They will poke the bear and confront inequality. I can’t help but think of Ukraine when writing this. I use the phrase “poke the bear” somewhat regularly, but it is interesting in this context because the bear is often the symbol of Russia. A Russian fuel depot was bombed at the end of last week, and Ukraine has been credited with it. I think they are denying it, but this would be one of the first strong offensive moves from Ukraine, who up to now has mostly been defending itself. News also reports that have regained Kyiv, but it is far from over, unfortunately.
In our personal lives, Eris and Lilith can make us pretty confrontational as well, so it is something to be aware of. If you want to figuratively bomb the fuel depot, do it intentionally and not because your impulses got away from you.
Happy April. Happy Springtime. Ramadan Mubarak. Carpe Diem. Etcetera.

ARIES - You may be feeling a bit more private about your affections and wanting to shield your current sensitivity from the world. You intuition is being activated by Venus transiting you 12th house, so you gut instincts will be spot on. You can do some great budgeting or financial planning under the current transits. But do give yourself the solitude you crave; sink into the softer and cushier side of yourself and of life.
TAURUS - You may find yourself speaking up about things you have been thinking about. The timing is great for this, because Mercury in your sign is giving your words practicality and weight. Friends and friendships become a focus for you while Venus is in Pisces, and this could even lead to romance. A friend might introduce you to someone, or someone you’ve been just friends with may express wanting something more. ooooooo.
GEMINI - That busy Gemini mind may be keeping its ideas to itself for a few weeks as Mercury transits your 12th house of solitude. You might crave more privacy. However, you might discover your boss or co workers treating you or reacting to you differently, and no, there’s nothing on your face. Venus in Pisces transiting your 10th house makes you a charming AF co-worker. Your professional creativity can see a real boost at this time as well.
CANCER - Your thoughts and ideas may be more focused on your personal goals and big dreams during Mercury’s transit of your 11th house. You might find yourself wanting to spice up your love life with something exotic, or if you’re single, with someone exotic. Oooooo. Alternatively, you may crave a little adventure as Venus dances through your 9th house. If you have the ability to scamper off to an art museum or take a little trip to someplace that feels sexy, do it.
LEO - You have a cool few weeks ahead with Mercury in your 10th house and Venus in your 8th. You can capitalize on your substantial creative reservoir to benefit your career, and Venus may help you win some financial gains, either by a reduction in debt, or by money you have access to through a partnership. These 2 transits work beautifully together to give you a boost in both houses. Don’t sleep on it.
VIRGO - Did you ever just flip through the encyclopedia when you were a kid? If you’re around my age, I know you did. That curiosity and hunger for knowledge and grand ideas will be ignited while Mercury in Taurus transits your 9th house. You can be a great conversationalist at this time as well, so if you feel like mingling…do it! If you are already coupled, your attention is likely going to be squarely on your partner and your relationship. Sounds like a lovely time to me!
LIBRA - Well, not only is it a lovely day at the office, but you’re intuitive skills are on point. Venus is what is beautifying your immediate environment and the people or things you serve in it (it need not be “work” or “job”, per se. It is also your body, your wellness, and also your pets.). Mercury is going deep while it transits your 8th house, making you insightful, intuitive and deeply introspective. You may also feel more curious about taboo stuff, esoteric stuff, and oh, astrology. Overall, it looks like things are smoothing out for you (and your pets).
SCORPIO - Oh, Venus in your 5th house is fun and sexy! You are expressive, charming and romantic. And THEN, Mercury is in your 7th house of relationships. Your communication with those closest and dearest to you will be very good. You will be very mentally focused on creating balance and harmony. If there are any issues in your current partnership, this is a time that you might find some resolution.
SAGITTARIUS - You have a lovely few weeks ahead of you. Mercury in Taurus is transiting your 6th house, which Mercury naturally rules, and Venus in Pisces is in fellow water sign 4th house. You may feel pretty sensitive and maybe a little needier than usual if you are in a relationship. Your sense of security could need reassurance. Mercury will give you great focus and organizational skills.
CAPRICORN - Your creative expression will benefit from the transit of Mercury though your 5th house. You may be more mentally focused on, and communicating more with your children. You may not be as focused as you usually are, but that’s balance for ya. Let your mind have some fun. Meanwhile, Venus may increase your chattiness and desire to socialize and vocalize. Intellectual conversations are more interesting to you than small talk, but overall there’s a lot of charm to these transits for you.
AQUARIUS - Your sense of security will be highlighted, and likely comforted by Venus’ transit through your 2nd house, which is ruled by Taurus. This is associated with buying new things, and an increased need for comfort. Your finances may even see a boost with Venus in that house. Mercury in Taurus will be in the 4th house, which rules the home and family, so there will be a lot of focus around those issues. Funny story: I am an Aquarius, and we started the process of looking for a home last week, long before I wrote this or looked at the transits. We will be moving during these transits! (I would love the universe to rain down some money because moving is expensive. ack!) I’ve been ordering decorating stuff, because I love decorating…and also because… Taurus!
PISCES - Even though the sun has left your sign, you have some really favorable transits right now. Mercury in Taurus is transiting the 3rd house, which it naturally rules. Your communication will be practical and your mind will be busy. Venus in your sign means you should be feeling more social, charming and friendly. You may also feel like pampering yourself and it will be hard to deny yourself the little luxuries you desire. No one else is likely to tell you no either, so get your groove on!
