April 2020 Astrology Cheat: There's Going to be a Heartache Tonight
For those in the GYPSY TRIBE, you understand the day to day breakdown, the ways to use alchemy and astrology in your ritual work and spiritual growth, and this will make more sense. However, if you’re wanting a quick cheat for general themes to look forward to in APRIL, then look no further:
APRIL 2020
April brings some potent planetary energy. All through the month the planets, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto are very active. Mars heightens fiery emotions, Jupiter amplifies and expands, Saturn wants to restrict, and Uranus brings change. This combination of cosmic forces could be quite volatile, and we may see and feel an increase in heightened emotions. But with all of this, there is also incredible opportunity for growth and abundance too. Let’s see what’s ahead for April…
April 03
Mercury (Pisces) conjunct Neptune (Pisces)
April 03
Venus enters Gemini
Dual choices
April 04
Venus (Gemini) trine Saturn (Aquarius)
April 04
Jupiter (Capricorn) conjunct Pluto (Capricorn)
The last time these two planets came together was about 13 years ago, and they will be shining a spotlight on the economy and our finances. While the economy may be highlighted on a global level, on a personal level, Jupiter and Pluto can create new opportunities for abundance. This planetary energy encourages us to seek new ideas and to connect with abundance in a new and deeper way. Use this alignment to invite abundance into your life and to start recognizing the abundance that is always around you.
April 07
Full Moon in Libra
Relationship changes
This is the closest Super Moon of the year, so we are going to feel lunar energy radiating strongly. Falling in Libra, this Full Moon will highlight our relationships and get us to question the connections we have in our life. It will also guide us to focus on the relationship we have with ourselves and can be a catalyst in helping us reach a deeper state of self-love and acceptance. Feelings of loneliness may peak around this Full Moon, so if that starts to resonate, make an extra effort to connect with loved ones. If you feel isolated due to any lockdown measures, it may also help to think of this experience as a retreat of sorts, and a time where you can go within and prioritize the things that you love to do. Who are the most important people in your circle?

April 15
Sun (Aries) square Jupiter (Capricorn)
Get out into “nature” even if it’s just your front porch or for a walk at an appropriate distance. Bring green into your world, whether you plant a kitchen window box herb garden, pick up a potted aloe plant or paint a wall a vibrant, verdant hue.

Sun enters Taurus
Productive spring cleaning
April 21
Sun (Taurus) square Saturn (Aquarius)
April 22
New Moon in Taurus
Fired-up beginnings
This New Moon carries the energy of change and new information may come to the surface that takes us by surprise. But, with the grounded earthiness from the Taurus bull, we will be able to surrender and allow ourselves to go with the flow with greater ease. The Taurus new moon on April 22 reminds us to appreciate each moment—and to “be here now,” in the words of the late (Aries) spiritual teacher Ram Dass.
April 25
Pluto retrograde in Capricorn
Embrace the shadows
On April 24-25th, we have Pluto going retrograde, but this is something we feel more on an internal level rather than an external one. With the Taurus New Moon still fading, we may also feel drawn to reflect and perhaps even change or pivot our goals and strategies for the year ahead.
April 25
Mercury (Aries) square Pluto (Capricorn)
April 26
Sun (Taurus) conjunct Uranus (Taurus)
This is a time to have unwavering faith in yourself and in the path that is unfolding. April offers an incredible month of planetary energy, but as we emerge, we have the potential to feel stronger, more aligned, and more confident in ourselves. Remember, while our 3D reality is shifting and upgrading around us, higher states of being are still constant, still with us, and still there to guide us.

Mercury (Aries) square Jupiter (Capricorn)
April 27
Mercury enters Taurus
