Astrology for April 10-16 2026

Sun/Chiron Conjunction in Aries

On April 13, Mars conjuncts Neptune in Aries at 3º and Venus in Taurus sextiles Jupiter in Cancer at 16º. These aspects happening in tandem creates some very fertile soil. Mars/Neptune can be motivated by faith, religion, and spirituality. It can stir ambition and drive us to follow gut feelings with some empathy or a sense of connection to a higher cause. Naturally, this can take on many forms, and if we are not grounded in a healthy sense of self, it can invite self-righteousness, escapism, or the inability to remain in touch with reality. From another angle, Mars represents the body and libido. This can spiritualize sexuality or initiate action on artistic ideals. These expressions are emphasized even more as a positive connection is made between the two most beneficial planets, Venus and Jupiter. Venus in Taurus is strong in her home sign, desiring to indulge in her physical five senses in simple and stable ways. We are interested in higher quality physical and material experiences. Jupiter is also in one of its strongest positions in Cancer, its sign of exaltation, and seeks to expand higher learning through emotional bonds. All in all, this is a very juicy day ripe with inspiration and sensuality. How can you explore these areas of life? Who or what would you like to explore? What does pleasure mean to you? Do you indulge in a way that is grounded or gluttonous? Watch both your integrity and your wallet, but definitely order dessert. 

On April 14, Mercury in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus at 29º. This aspect stimulates an intense volume of communications. The 29th degree heightens intensity and both of these planets involve increased busyness and exchanges. Thoughts and ideas are flowing, conversations are firing, and this is a great day to keep your voice memo or notes app handy. A sudden change of plans for the better. Unexpected ideas that lead to solutions that innovate. Information bubbling turns to a boil when later on April 14, Mercury enters Aries until May 2. The pace sharply picks up. Fast talk and quick thinking. Be careful during this time to watch for impulsive words. Calm the mental sprints.  Remember to check the details. A lot of mental energy can be moved through the body, so utilize physical activity for balance. 

On April 16, the Sun conjuncts Chiron in Aries at 26º. Heads up: This energy will be included in tomorrow’s April 17 new Moon in Aries. We have a slightly brutal spotlight shining clear and direct on our sense of self. How far we have come in our healing journeys will be apparent. Both what we’ve strengthened and what still needs work. Where are you hiding? Where do you abandon yourself? Do you go after what you want? What comes to mind when you hear the words confidence, identity, and self assertion? An old wound is exposed, but we have a powerful opportunity for healing. Have the courage to face your weaknesses. Integrate a new level of self-identity with honor and humility. Can you admit the reality? You’ve worked hard to get here.
