Hello April 2023

Hello April!!! 😍 Can you believe we are beginning the second quarter of 2023?

I totally can't believe it ... that mean's my birthday is almost here 🥳  Have you had a chance to check out my new Astro Guide - Start Your Day The Astro Way?  So perfect to start this new quarter with a new morning routine 😀

Boy, the days seem to fly by and I think it feels even faster with all the planets moving direct 💫 Would you agree?

If you have not been taking advantage of this forward motion I encourage you to start today.  We only have a few weeks left before Mercury does an about face and begins his 3-week retrograde in Taurus starting on April 21.  

AND ... this is the last time for all of 2023 in which all the planets will be direct.  It is now or never for 2023 (well, maybe I am being a little dramatic, but it is definitely your most opportune time 😍)

During last week’s Tea & Astrology, I did a brief overview of April's energy.  You can catch the replay inside the Tribe of Astro Navigators. There are lots of important transits this month, including the first eclipse of the year!

Here are the major highlights for April:

✨  April 3: Mercury Enters Taurus ♉
Time to slow our minds down after the fast race through Aries.  Thinking will become more practical and grounded. However, be aware that as  Mercury makes his move into Taurus he will square Pluto in Aquarius, be careful of power struggles or conflicts in communication.

✨  April 5: Sun conjuncts Chiron in Aries ♈
There will be an opportunity for healing and growth.  Release what is holding you back from asserting yourself, taking the lead, finding your true self.

✨ April 6: Mercury conjuncts the North Node in Taurus ♉
Your thoughts will be focused on the future.  What is your purpose?  What is important to you? What do you value?  What will make you feel safe and secure for the future? How  can you grow your spiritual and material possessions?

✨ April 6: Full Moon in Libra at ♎ 16°07' @ 12:34am EST
This full moon energy could bring a heightened awareness of balance and harmony in our relationships, as well as an opportunity to let go of any imbalances.  This full moon can be especially healing with the Sun still so close to Chiron.  I will be sharing more on this during this week's episode of Tea & Astrology.  Come join us ... RSVP Here

✨ April 7: My Solar Return (aka, my Birthday) 🥳
Stay tuned for some birthday celebration specials this weekend 🥰

✨ April 11:  Sun Conjunct Jupiter in Aries ♈
This is a day to go big!  Take that leap! Today is filled with optimism and confidence.

✨ April 11:  Venus Enters Gemini ♊
Venus may be leaving her home sign of Taurus but she is ready to get social and connect with everyone she meets.  Let's get to know each other and have some fun and interesting conversations.

✨ April 20: New Moon in Aries 29°50' @ 12:13am EST
This will be our second new moon in Aries (the first one was on March 21) and this one will have extra powerful energy as it is a solar eclipse 🌞 🌛  and in the 29th critical degree 😲.  Whatever is standing in the way of your new beginning may suddenly be eclipsed out of your life.  Go with the flow and don't forget to set your intentions 🙏

✨  April 20: Sun Enters Taurus @4:13am EST
Shortly after the eclipse the sun will move into Taurus giving us a chance to slow down and focus on the new initiatives we have started. 

✨ April 21: Mercury Goes Retrograde in Taurus @4:35am EST
Make sure you are getting prepared!  Mercury retrograde could bring about misunderstandings or delays in communication, as well as transportation, travel plans and electronics.   (I will be sharing my Mercury survival guide later this month and chatting about this during Tea & Astrology on April 12 at 10am EST)

With so much change and things moving so fast you may feel like you are being tossed around and upside down 🙃

Don't worry ... by the end of the month, you will find your feet back on the ground.   Remember to take care of yourself, and enjoy the journey.

Sending you big hugs and lots of love ~ Debbie 💞
