The heat is on, indeed, as we enter April, the beginning of the year’s second quarter. Summer is in full swing, dear reader, working up to a crescendo that peaks in May, when the heat index rises like nowhere else. The tropics are tropic-ing, dear reader—from the weather to our emotional temperament, the heat is, indeed, very much on. And as always, the external climate starts to mirror our internal one—restless, reactive, ready to burst or bloom.
April marks the start of the second quarter, giving us a chance to process the whirlwind of the past few months. In contrast to March, which was quite brutal, April is somber and stern, yes—but significantly softer on the edges. There’s a gentle seriousness to the month—a sense of sobering up after the haze, but with just enough sweetness to keep our hearts open.
ANNUAL CONJUNCTIONS
A couple of rare conjunctions take place, bringing a bit of heaviness and confusion at the onset. First up, VENUS and SATURN’s annual conjunction happens, bringing a sense of reality-checks in love, money, and commitments. It may feel like we’re being asked to prove the worth of what (and who) we value—sobering, but also clarifying. This energy rewards maturity and emotional depth, so if it feels heavy, lean into what’s real, not ideal.
Marking the midmonth is a MERCURY–NEPTUNE conjunction, which happens once a year and casts a dreamy fog over communication, perception, and planning. This is Mercury and Neptune’s first rendezvous in Aries—the first of many in the years to come. There’s an initiatory energy here, one that can stir up tricky, confusing emotions. Our thoughts may drift, clarity may blur, and fantasies can seem more appealing than facts.
Many of us may feel compelled to chase something that lacks real footing. It’s beautiful energy for dreaming and spiritual reflection, but not the best for decision-making. Let yourself float—but don’t anchor important choices here just yet!
MERCURY and VENUS
But the great news is that both MERCURY and VENUS go direct this month, finally bringing back much-needed clarity, momentum, and grace. The fog lifts, the pace steadies, and what was once murky starts to make sense again, finally! Misunderstandings begin to unravel, relationships stabilize, and projects find their legs once more. We move forward—not rushed, but with renewed vision and sincerity. What felt stalled or stuck now begins to breathe again. This is your green light to recalibrate, reconnect, and realign with what truly matters. ❤
