Hello!
Link to the April 2026 Astrology Conference
Sitting at my desk as usual on Saturday morning – sunshine streaming in through the window – it feels as though summer suddenly got a reboot. I’d like to say it’s helping me think beautiful thoughts about the astrology, but there’s no way of putting a ribbon on the forthcoming alignments: we’re heading into a week of cosmic storms and gales.
Not only is Mercury opposing Uranus, this time in retrograde so some of next week’s shocks and surprises have a history, but Thursday’s new moon is at the opposite point in the zodiac to this capricious planet.
Sometimes the astrology does not appear to live up to its promise, but powerful transits always leave their mark. One of my clients had been expecting a series of Uranus transits to open up new horizons and help her break out of a rut she felt she’d been in for years. But it seemed nothing changed. However, some months later, she realized that things felt very different indeed and what Uranus had effectively done was “shake things loose”. I think that’s a very good way of looking at Uranus’s function: a Uranus transit isn’t always about 9.1 magnitude earthquakes, but countless little tremors that gradually alter the scenery.
I have gone into some depth about next week’s alignments on my current video New Moon in Scorpio so if you haven’t yet seen it, head to my YouTube channel. Also, on the day of the new moon, The Astrology Hub will put out a video of a conversation I had with Amanda on the prospects for 2026.
Onward and Starward
