Welcome back to Moonday Musings! Things have been quiet on the front end in our witchy neighborhood, but behind the scenes there have been all kinds of moving parts. Today’s episode is going to have updates, fun announcements, and of course our astrology for the month ahead 💫

This Month's Timeline
Wed 4/1 Full Moon at 12° Libra
Portal opens: Moon enters Libra Tue 3/31/26 10:50pm ET
Full Moon exact Wed 4/1/26 at 10:11pm ET
Portal closes: Moon enters Scorpio Fri 4/3/26 8:10am ET
It was an April Fool's Full Moon in Libra! This full moon was ruled by Venus, and helped us sift through the unnecessary bullshit and hold on to what actually matters to us at the end of the day.
Keep an eye on: Losing yourself in relationships, parasocial relationships, technology, and the connections that seem to only leave you feeling drained.
Embrace: Your full-bodied yes's and no's, considering others & considering yourself, treat yourself energy and little pretty gifts ✨
Thu 4/9 Mars → Aries
Until 5/18/26
Mars is home! Planet of action, motivation, conflict, drive, and passion rules the fiery, bold, impulsive energy of Aries, so when it moves into this sign Mars feels very in its element.
Keep an eye on: Unnecessary recklessness, unintentional harm, being the asshole you're pointing the finger at.
Embrace: Bold action, new experiences, experimenting, and MOVEMENT 🔥
Tue 4/14 Mercury → Aries
Until 5/2/26
Our thinking and communication takes a hefty dose of that radical Aries energy too! Mercury in Aries can help us speak up when we've otherwise hesitated, and to speak out for the underdog..
Keep an eye on: Being a dick for no reason, impatience with others' communication process(es), jumping to conclusions before reading or hearing the whole story.
Embrace: Your truth, standing up for yourself, making new connections, and your authentic voice.
Fri 4/17 New Moon at 27° Aries
Portal opens: Moon enters Aries Wed 4/15/26 10:03am ET
New Moon exact Fri 4/17/26 7:51am ET
Portal closes: Moon enters Taurus Fri 4/17/26 11:57am ET
If you are needing a fresh start this is *the* new moon for you, neighbor. Aries is the first sign in the zodiac + the new moon symbolizes new beginnings = which makes for very clean slate vibes and next chapter (or a whole new book) energy.
Look out for: Stubborn blinders that keep us from seeing others' perspectives, worse road rage than usual, and competition vs collaboration.
Embrace: Putting yourself first (especially if you tend not to), expressing or ritualizing your anger, getting out of dodge or taking a mental health day.
Sun 4/19 Taurus Season 2026
Ends 5/20/26
A welcome cool-down and grounding chapter begins when we enter Taurus season. Thoughtful, practical, and unapologetic when it comes to creating & maintaining security and comfort.
Keep an eye on: Avoiding too much discomfort, overindulgence to a point of feeling sick or going broke, misplaced stubbornness.
Embrace: Your unique pace, stopping to smell the roses, a job well done, and the power of (re)connecting to nature.
Fri 4/24 Venus → Gemini
Until 5/18/26
Chatty, flirty, curious, and fun—Venus can spread its wings and make all kinds of new connections in Gemini. Don't be afraid to experiment, and don't knock it til you try it.
Keep an eye on: Manipulation, lying, and cheating. Healthy communication is key!
Embrace: Putting yourself out there, asking questions, and stepping outside of your comfort zone.
Sat 4/25 Uranus → Gemini
Until 2032/2033
It's official! Once Uranus enters Gemini on April 25th, it won't be going back into Taurus for more than 80 years. We could see technology booms and declines, the changing of an empire, and personally I believe some massive expansion to our brains and nervous systems.
Keep an eye on: Overstimulation, unchecked mob mentality, and mass panic in response to disaster.
Embrace: Your inner revolutionary, your humanity, your incredible resourcefulness, and ability to adapt to anything.
