Void of Course Dates this Month

On April 1st, a Full Moon occurs in the sign of Libra, bringing sudden awareness to our lives, particularly of areas that require more balance. Improving or enhancing our relationships can be a new focus arising from our epiphanies now. Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with those things that we may have been neglecting or putting off, especially regarding our partnerships. Relationship imbalances and flaws are more noticeable and perhaps even glaring now. We can feel quite inspired to make improvements, coming up with excellent strategies for doing so now.
The Full Moon in Libra awakens us to our feelings about relationships and social exchanges. It’s an emotional time, and its square with Jupiter lends an element of exaggeration or excess to our emotional discoveries. Read more about this Full Moon on its calendar page.
On April 17th, the New Moon in Aries prompts a new beginning–we’re starting fresh. We awaken to the need to act on our initiative. This lunation brings a “fresh start” to our lives, and challenges us to show a pure part of ourselves to the world. By acting on our own inner impulses (constructive ones!) without fear, and by abandoning the need to refine them based on what others might want us to do or what they think we “should” do, we learn more about ourselves. If we learn to depend on ourselves, we exude an all-new aura of strength, born of personal integrity and confidence, as well as a pure, innocent charm.
This New Moon occurs when all major planets are direct, suggesting few obstacles. However, Mars, the ruler of Aries is applying to a conjunction to Saturn, and while we’re ready to work hard and pace ourselves, we can be combatting some fear of not being number one.
Read more about this New Moon on its calendar page.
On April 25th, Uranus enters Gemini, this time visiting for the long haul. Uranus first entered Gemini in July 2025, but then returned to Taurus in November to finish up its transit. Uranus restarts in Gemini today. Uranus will be in Gemini from April 25, 2026, to August 3, 2032, and then from December 12, 2032, to May 22, 2033, spending about 7-8 years in a sign. The range for Gemini is 2025 to 2033 with some transition periods between Taurus and Gemini and then Gemini and Cancer.
Uranus in Gemini stirs up our ideas, learning, and communications. This long-term influence revolutionizes our transportation and communication systems and sense of connectedness. There can be great progress and unpredictability during this transit. Labor-saving devices and revolutionizing what and how we read, exchange and disseminate information, trade, transit, transport goods, surveil, track, and learn can continue to develop, surprise, disrupt, and advance. Uranus brings strong themes of curiosity and interest. Read more about this ingress on its calendar page.

Horoscopes for the Month
Void of Course Dates this Month

On March 3rd, a Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse occurs in the sign of Virgo. It brings sudden awareness to our lives, particularly of areas that require more order. Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with those things that we may have been neglecting or putting off, especially regarding our work, services, habits, health, and routines.
This eclipse is the fifth of a set of seven occurring along the Virgo-Pisces axis from September 17th, 2024, to February 20th, 2027. While we’ve been focusing on building our faith, this March eclipse in Virgo prompts us to consider getting organized and how it affects the work-rest balance.
This total Lunar Eclipse urges us to strike a balance between work and service, practicality and impracticality, criticism and acceptance. It’s about awakening to the need to enjoy more order in our lives. This is an eyes-wide-open time for our work, habits, health, and routines. We are likely to receive strong messages from our intuition regarding our next move along these lines. Emotions, feelings, and revelations in the weeks following this eclipse are pivotal. This is a rewarding Full Moon eclipse, ripe with possibilities and learning experiences. However, it can take some time before we get the whole picture. Read more about this Lunar Eclipse on its calendar page.
On March 10th, Jupiter stations and turns direct, after retrograde motion since November 11th, 2025. This change of direction can mark a turning of the corner for certain projects and relationships. It’s also about our outlook and attitude–we experience increasing enthusiasm as we advance. With Jupiter direct, our confidence in ourselves, our beliefs, and the universe is building. We are more lighthearted and ready to share ourselves and what we’ve learned with others. Our dreams and goals are in focus, and they’re moving along! Read more about this station on its calendar page.
On March 18th, the New Moon in Pisces prompts a new beginning–we’re starting fresh. We awaken to the need for a spiritual vision or more magic in our lives. It’s time to revitalize ourselves through experiences that require imagination, compassion, gentleness, or that simply represent a “break” from the routine. We may put something behind us in order to begin anew. It’s very focused and concentrated, which can help or hinder us. Fortunately, this New Moon’s harmony with Uranus via a tight sextile points to inspiration and belief in progress. Read more about this New Moon on its calendar page.
On March 20th, Mercury stations and turns direct, after retrograde motion since February 26th. With Mercury retrograde in Pisces, we’ve been returning to past projects and refining or tweaking them. We may have found usefulness in old or past ideas and recycled them in new ways. Fortunately, tapping into our inner muse and coming up with especially inventive ideas has been a theme. Now, information unclogs. Read more about this station on its calendar page.
On March 28th, Saturn is sextile Pluto, and this is a standalone transit signaling the potential for constructive change. It can be a good time to dedicate ourselves to self-understanding, research, or counseling. Developing self-discipline can be rewarding and worthwhile. Narrowing our focus to a particular pursuit can be beneficial, as it allows us to apply ourselves and prioritize effectively. It’s also a strong time for reforming social and political systems. Making the most of things is a strong theme. We can be more resourceful and good at preparing for our future. Particularly if this transit accents our natal charts well, this can be a good time for cutting out bad habits and reforming our everyday routines. Setting new and improved goals can be in the spotlight… Read more about this transit on its calendar page.
