Energy This Week

The Aries stellium reached its peak last week with the new moon in Aries. At that moment, no fewer than eight celestial bodies were in Aries, which is a rare occurrence.

The energy remains powerful, intense, and charged. It feels as if everything is on edge. Communication may become more heated, and conflicts and confrontations are just around the corner. You may find it harder to understand one another, and it may take more effort to listen to each other with patience, attention, and compassion.

This week, the energy continues to build. The sun may also bring surprises in the form of strong solar flares and geomagnetic storms. There’s a sense of unrest in the cosmos. April is clearly doing its own thing and may still produce some cosmic fireworks toward the end of the month.

On April 20, the Sun moves from Aries into Taurus, bringing a more grounding and stabilizing influence. This is a welcome respite from all the intensity. At the same time, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn in Aries call for focus, conscious action, and perseverance, even when obstacles arise.

Venus and Uranus are completing a cycle together in Taurus, which could bring about a final breakthrough. This is especially true in relationships, friendships, values, and finances. What no longer serves its purpose begins to shift, falls away, or transforms into a new form.

One of the most significant shifts this week—and of 2026—is Uranus’s transition from Taurus into Gemini. Uranus has an orbital period of approximately 84 years and spends an average of about 7 years in each sign. The last time Uranus was in Gemini was from 1941 to 1949—a period marked by both destruction and rebuilding.

In recent years, all the "slow-moving planets" have definitively changed signs: Pluto (2024), Jupiter (2025), Neptune (Jan. 2026), Saturn (Feb. 2026), and now Uranus as well. An old cycle ends and a new one begins.

We find ourselves in a period of profound transformation. Old structures are crumbling away, making room for renewal. This is an invitation to let go, to go with the flow, and to open yourself to what is about to unfold. You can seize tremendous opportunities if you dare to change.

This week's lunar phase: waxing moon.

April 19–20: Mars conjunct Saturn

Last week we concluded with the Mars-Saturn conjunction. Since this energy continues to be at work and has an impact, we’re mentioning this alignment once more.

Mars and Saturn together create tension between action and restraint: you want to move forward, but are simultaneously held back. Aries brings decisiveness and quick decisions, while Saturn calls for discipline and perseverance. Not everything goes smoothly, and that is precisely where the lesson lies. The delay does not stop you in your tracks, but helps you act more consciously and purposefully.

April 23: Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus

Just before Venus and Uranus enter Gemini together, they come together one last time in the very last degree of Taurus. This feels like a moment of closure. A gentle yet powerful transition in which a cycle spanning recent years comes to an end.

Venus, in her own sign, embraces the energy of Uranus with awareness and emotion. Together, they open the door to new insights and shifts, especially regarding love, values, money, and your deepest desires. What has been stuck can now begin to shift and move forward, sometimes unexpectedly, but often at precisely the right moment.

This meeting carries the energy of a final recalibration. Old patterns and certainties may shift one last time, allowing you to sense more clearly what truly suits you and where your heart wants to go.

It is an invitation to let go more gently, to open yourself up to new possibilities, and to make room for a way of living and connecting that is more in tune with who you are now.

April 24: Venus in Gemini

On April 24, Venus moves into the sign of Gemini, two days before Uranus also enters this sign. With this shift, a new energy emerges in which the desire for change, renewal, and movement becomes increasingly apparent.

Venus in Gemini brings a sense of lightness, playfulness, and curiosity to the way you connect with others and with yourself. You are invited to follow what sparks your interest, to explore new ideas, and to make room for spontaneity. Relationships can feel more carefree, communication becomes more important, and there is a greater need for freedom and mental stimulation.

This transition feels like a harbinger of what Uranus will continue to bring about in the years ahead: a shift in how we think, communicate, and connect. It is a wonderful time to break free from fixed patterns and allow yourself to experiment, discover, and move forward.

Let yourself be guided by what sparks your curiosity and where your energy begins to flow. It is precisely there that new possibilities and fresh inspiration lie.

April 26: Uranus in Gemini

Uranus is known as the planet of change, renewal, and sudden twists. Its energy can hit you like a shock and jolt you awake all at once. It is no coincidence that Uranus is also known as the cosmic rebel.

When combined with Gemini, a sign of speed, curiosity, and movement, this energy becomes even more dynamic. Expect surprises, rapid shifts, and new insights that appear almost in the blink of an eye. It is precisely in those unexpected moments that the invitation lies to remain flexible and open to a completely new direction.

Since 2018, Uranus has been in Taurus, where themes such as money, value, possessions, and security have been thoroughly shaken up. On July 7, 2025, Uranus made its first move toward Gemini, before briefly returning to Taurus on November 8. Today it returns definitively to Gemini and will remain there until August 3, 2032. What began in 2025 is now coming to a close.

Uranus in Gemini brings a revolution in communication, technology, artificial intelligence, and education. Think of breakthroughs in how we share information, learn, and think. Everything becomes faster, smarter, and more connected. New systems, platforms, and ways of communicating can develop at a breathtaking pace.

Astrologically, Uranus activates the realm of the mind here: thinking, speaking, writing, learning, and networking. Long-held beliefs can suddenly be shattered. This is a period in which mental freedom takes center stage, breaking free from entrenched thought patterns and opening up to new perspectives.

At the same time, there is also a challenge here. Gemini energy can be fleeting and restless, and Uranus amplifies that. The flow of information can become overwhelming, with a constant urge to be "on." This can lead to overstimulation, distraction, superficiality, alienation, and the loss of genuine connection in a world that is becoming increasingly digital.

The invitation, then, is to engage consciously with this fast-paced energy. Keep thinking for yourself. Keep feeling. Let technology support you, but don’t let it take over. Train your mind, but don’t forget your body and heart.

On a collective level, this transit can also significantly disrupt issues related to media, journalism, transportation, and networking. New forms of collaboration emerge, but existing systems can also suddenly become unstable or undergo changes. Flexibility becomes a key quality.

On a personal level, this energy asks: where are you free to break away from old patterns of thought? Where are you still holding yourself back in the way you communicate or express yourself? And do you dare to truly let your own voice be heard in your unique, authentic way?

Stay grounded in a world that’s moving faster and faster. Nourish your heart and soul with genuine connection, real conversations, and true presence. Because no matter how far technology advances, nothing can replace a sincere connection between people. Keep that beautiful heart of yours open and warm.

"What does your inner rebel want to show you, tell you, or break through right now?"

This Week's Energy

The Aries stellium peaked last week with the new moon in Aries. At that moment, there were no fewer than eight celestial bodies in Aries, which is a rare occurrence. 

The energy is still powerful, intense, and charged. It feels as if everything is on edge. Communication may be more heated, and conflicts and confrontations are lurking. It may be harder to understand one another, and it may also take more effort to listen to each other with patience, attention, and compassion.

This week, the energy continues to build. The sun may also throw up some surprises in the form of powerful solar flares and geomagnetic storms. Things feel unsettled in the cosmos. April is clearly doing as it pleases and may still have some cosmic fireworks in store for us at the end of the month. 

On April 20, the Sun moves from Aries into Taurus, bringing a more grounding and stabilizing influence. This is a welcome respite from all the intensity. At the same time, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn in Aries call for focus, mindful action, and perseverance, even when obstacles arise.

Venus and Uranus are completing a cycle together in Taurus, which could bring about a final breakthrough—especially in relationships, friendships, values, and finances. Whatever no longer feels right will shift, fall away, or transform into a new form. 

One of the most significant shifts this week—and of 2026—is Uranus’s move from Taurus to Gemini. Uranus has an orbital period of approximately 84 years and spends an average of about 7 years in each sign. The last time Uranus was in Gemini was from 1941 to 1949. A period of both destruction and reconstruction. 

In recent years, all the “slow-moving planets” have definitively changed signs: Pluto (2024), Jupiter (2025), Neptune (Jan. 2026), Saturn (Feb. 2026), and now Uranus as well. An old cycle is ending, and a new one is beginning.

We are in a period of profound transformation. Old structures are falling away, making room for renewal. It’s an invitation to let go, go with the flow, and open yourself up to what is about to unfold. You can seize tremendous opportunities if you dare to change.

This week's moon phase: waxing moon. 

April 19–20: Mars conjunct Saturn

Last week, we concluded with the Mars-Saturn conjunction. Since this energy continues to have an effect, we’re mentioning this alignment once more.

Aries brings decisiveness and quick decisions, while Saturn calls for discipline and perseverance. Not everything goes smoothly, and that’s precisely where the lesson lies. The delay isn’t meant to make you stop, but to help you act more consciously and purposefully.

April 23: Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus

Just before Venus and Uranus move on together into Gemini, they come together one last time in the very last degree of Taurus. This feels like a moment of closure—a gentle yet powerful transition in which a cycle spanning the past few years comes to a conclusion.

Venus, currently in her own sign, envelops Uranus’s energy with awareness and emotion. Together, they open the door to new insights and shifts, especially regarding love, values, money, and your deepest desires. What has been stuck can now break free and start moving, sometimes unexpectedly, but often at exactly the right moment.

This encounter carries the energy of a final reassessment. Old patterns and certainties are allowed to shift one last time, so that you can sense more clearly what truly suits you and where your heart is leading you.

It is an invitation to let go more gently, to open yourself up to new possibilities, and to make room for a way of living and connecting that is more in tune with who you are today.

April 24: Venus in Gemini

On April 24, Venus moves into the sign of Gemini, two days before Uranus also enters this sign. This ushers in a new energy in which the desire for change, renewal, and movement becomes increasingly palpable.
