We went through a lovely Full Moon in Virgo (sidereal) last week in the nakshatra of Hasta. The effects of this Full Moon will continue to play out this week – enhancing practicality, organization, and getting the details right.

The big news for April 2026 however, is the Mars/Saturn conjunction in Pisces, which occurs for the whole month. It’s a LOT of pressure. Mars wants to move fast, while Saturn tests patience, endurance, and responsibility.

Pisces symbolizes water, shipping routes, sea borders and… OIL. So the strait of Hormuz is playing this dynamic out in front of us in real time.

On a personal level, the sign of Pisces means there’s something each of us needs to let go of so we can move forward on a new path. This is a time of letting go. Pisces is release, endings, and inner cleansing,

This week we celebrate the Holy Days of Thelema – April 8th, 9th, and 10th which will be marked internationally by gatherings and feasts.
