Friday, APRIL 4

Saturn forms a sextile with Uranus–a transit with longer-term influence–and Mars hooks into this energy today with its sextile to Uranus and trine to Saturn.

This is the first of three perfections of the Saturn-Uranus sextile; the next two will occur on August 11th, 2025, and on January 20th, 2026. It’s a time when we’re more likely to do what we enjoy and enjoy what we do, mainly related to career, work, and life path matters, but extending to other areas of life.

Events occurring now build character, and life lessons are digestible. It’s a period of solid, meaningful progress. This can be a time to solidify connections, bond with allies, and work on the primary structures of our lives. The changes we make can have long-lasting benefits.

Original ideas may take form or develop quite successfully during this trend. There is an opportunity to combine stability and improvement or excitement with good results, and the same might be said about innovation and tradition.

Today, we’re motivated to get out of a rut, innovate, or entertain new methods as Mars forms a sextile to Uranus, but we’re also paying attention to our need to pace ourselves and honor certain traditions or tried-and-true methods. In the name of progress, we can be determined to let go of grudges or baggage.

Working toward our dreams and inspired goals comes naturally now. At the same time, we hold the power of detachment that helps us choose paths that work in our favor. We have more courage to go our own way, and we feel more productive, directed, and purposeful.

The First Quarter Moon occurs tonight, when the Moon in Cancer forms a square to the Aries Sun. A crisis theme surrounds any quarter Moon phase as we feel compelled to take action. We can face obstacles now, and ideally, they’re motivating.
