Sunday, APRIL 17

Mercury is heading toward a conjunction with Uranus, and Venus forms a sextile to both planets, opening up doors to interesting experiences and connections. We have a taste for the unusual, and there can be infatuations, gossip, unexpected opportunities socially or financially, spontaneity, and fun new ideas. We have a greater need for self-expression and personal freedom, but we are also quite at ease in social situations. Original, creative ideas are easy to come by, particularly through conversations and collaboration. We can feel inspired to think, connect, or communicate in new, fresh ways. It can be a time of mental breakthroughs, innovative thinking, and perhaps nervous energy.

With these transits, we’re not content merely recycling old ideas or performing repetitive processes, and we are quick to latch onto progressive approaches and methods. We might stir things up or shock others with our opinions, ideas, and communications, but we also seek cooperation. It’s a time for a special appreciation and understanding of the arts and attention to creative or romantic communications.

There can be clarification of feelings–we’re inclined to verbalize or analyze our affections and relationships but not necessarily connect deeply with them! On the other hand, the Scorpio Moon (all day) suggests a need for some emotional intensity or attachment.
