Harmony, ingenuity & perseverance over power struggles! Taurus season begins! Mercury conjunct Uranus! All Signs Collective Weekly Horoscope (April 18th-24th)

Dear NightFall Astrology readers,

This week’s sky map asks us to strengthen our concentration and will to reach our goals and execute our plans in the most harmonious way possible.

At the beginning of the week, we’ll still have some lingering tension, leading to some ego clashes and power struggles. Still, thankfully, it will be outweighed by a stellium of four planets (including last week’s Jupiter/Neptune conjunction that’s still active) in dreamy, empathetic and compassionate Pisces. While Pisces’ energy can be very inspiring and creative, it can also make us very distracted (almost in a floating state) and gullible. The best and highest use of this energy is for it to be channelled into more closeness and warmth in our relationships, artistic and spiritual activities alongside walks in nature (preferably near a water flow).

The fiery and passionate energy we’ve been reinvigorated by during Aries season has to be put into sustainable and efficient action plans. “Slow and steady wins the race” is Taurus’ motto. It’s time to choose from all of the fantastic ideas we’ve had while the Sun was transiting its exaltation point in the sky; it’s time to think about their material aspect and outcome (Taurus is a fixed earth sign) and start executing our projects through concrete and pragmatic steps. Stay open to several tweaks along the way, as light-bulb moments bringing flashes of insight will also be on the table.

Here’s your weekly horoscope.

1. The Sun/Pluto square:

The challenging square between the Sun in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn that was activated during last week’s Full Moon in Libra will become exact on Monday, April 18th. Both planets are at 29° of each sign, which indicates a critically heightened tension. There Sun represents our ego expression and Pluto our deepest desires and control issues. When these two clash in such an intense way, intense emotions rise to the surface.

Although you have every right to be upset if you feel wronged or oppressed, a hotheaded reaction could torch an important opportunity. It’s easy to overreact or, worse, lose control of your composure. If you choose to stand up to a forceful person, show your strength by remaining in control. However, it will be hard not to push back forcefully with both planets in unyielding cardinal signs. If things get heated, take a time-out and resolve this another day, despite the strong feeling of “I need to get over and done with it”.

This aspect will be most challenging for Aries, Libra, Capricorn, and Cancer.

2. The Mercury/Uranus conjunction:

Whatever problems and/or ego clashes the abovementioned Sun/Pluto squared might have translated into in our lives, we’ll have the opportunity to find an innovative and long-lasting solution(s) for the situation(s) at hand. Indeed, the planet ruling our mind and day-to-day communication (Mercury) will join forces in a powerful conjunction with the planet ruling our higher mind and inventiveness (Uranus) in steady and pragmatic Taurus!

Such a powerful blend of energies can ignite exciting new ideas, sudden realisations and eureka moments, surprising, refreshing and exciting news or conversations. We may also find a piece of missing information suddenly! This is excellent energy for social media interactions, marketing, networking, information or technology business, working with groups of people, promoting new ideas, sharing and presenting new plans.

On the negative side, this conjunction can manifest as excessive rebelliousness in our words, unexpected developments, technology/electric problems, increased nervous tension and stress, and explosive or disruptive communications or opinions. Both planets will still be sextiling (harmonious aspect) Venus in Pisces, so diplomatic communication and outcomes are still possible if the necessary will and effort are there.

This aspect will become exact on April 18th and remain active until April 20th.

This transit will be most beneficial for Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Pisces, and Cancer.

3. The Sun enters Taurus:

Here we are in the middle of spring already when everything is back to life again! On April 19th/20th (depending on your time zone), the Sun hunkers down in the zodiac’s bullpen for a month. Taurus rules our five senses, so be ready to taste, smell, touch, listen, and look at the wonders around you! It also governs our material values, likes and dislikes, income/money, and self-esteem/worth. It’s a great time for us to seize any lucrative opportunities to increase our material gains, reconnect to family and close friends, introduce our significant others to our crew and (hopefully!) get their stamp of approval. Not that we need it, of course. Shared values are the glue that keeps people together when the Bull is ruling the skies. What matters is that you and the object of your affection see eye to eye on the important stuff, like personal ethics and lifestyle. Long-term couples should make an effort to sync their schedules—and not just for practicality’s sake. Get some date nights on the calendar, and level up a few of them so that they’re earthy and decadent.

Taurus season will be most beneficial for Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo, Cancer, and Pisces. 

4. The Mercury/Saturn square and Mercury/Neptune sextile:

From April 22nd until April 26th (exact on April 24th), Mercury in Taurus will both square (challenging aspect) Saturn in Aquarius and sextile (harmonious aspect) Neptune in Pisces.

What a mixed bag of mental energy! On the one hand, with the challenging square to Saturn, we’ll tend to think more pessimistically, miscommunicate with our bosses or any other authority figures (and generally be more stubborn in our communication), take things way too seriously, and have to correct the mistakes that would have resulted from any of that.

On the other hand, with the sextile to intuitive and otherworldly Neptune, there will be an influx of inspiration into our creative tasks, supportive conversations, and the urge to read/write about spiritual, inspirational or emotionally uplifting topics.

The key here is to balance out both energies: whenever you catch yourself leaning way too much into negative thinking this weekend, get busy with your favourite hobby(ies), practice some mindfulness and spirituality, immerse yourself into the wondrous world of spectacular literary or musical masterpiece! And above all, think twice before insisting too much on your own views/opinions in a discussion or debate.

The Mercury/Saturn square will be most challenging for Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, and Leo.

The Mercury/Neptune sextile will be most supportive of Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, Taurus, and Capricorn.
