Summary:
Shortly into the day, a Venus-Saturn opposition perfects, and we may be facing up to areas of neglect or weakness, and possibly dealing with disappointments. While the rest of the day should have a somewhat heavy quality to it with Pluto nearing a station, we are not as likely to feel blocked or stifled, and in fact can have powerful intuition, ideas, and insights.
- The Moon is in Pisces all day (until Thursday, April 16th, at 4:59 PM).
- The Moon is void from 5:36 PM forward (until tomorrow at 4:59 PM).
- The Moon is in its Last Quarter phase / Waning Crescent phase from 9:00 AM forward.
- The Moon is waning.
- Mercury spends its first full day in Taurus (Mercury transits Taurus from April 14-30).
- Pluto is nearing a retrograde station (Pluto will turn retrograde tomorrow night).

Horoscopes
Aries
Mercury is now transiting your solar second house, dear Aries, until the last day of the month. This brings a stronger intellectual focus on, and mental interest in, the more practical details of your life. Conversations might often turn technical or practical. It’s a nice period, lasting just over two weeks, for organizing your finances, making lists and budgets, financial planning, and so forth. It’s also a good time for coming up with new money-making ideas, particularly when Mercury forms powerful aspects, but is mostly about working on the details. Security, personal possessions and valuables, and comfort matters are of special interest, and this focus will strengthen once the Sun enters this same sector of your chart next week. Today is a day for tying up loose ends. It’s a better day for keeping a low profile, for reflecting on recent events, and considering plans for the future.
Taurus
Mercury has just entered your sign, Taurus, and will continue to transit Taurus until the last day of April. Mars is already a guest in your sign (since the first of the month), and the Sun will follow next week. For now, you tend to have a stronger voice and are more likely to be heard and understood. However, you tend to make your own decisions during this cycle (you’re not inclined to do much consulting) and in fact may come to sudden or final conclusions about matters that have left you on the fence in the past couple of weeks. This is also a time when you might receive money or gifts with Mercury a money ruler in your solar chart.
Gemini
Mercury is now transiting your solar twelfth house, Gemini, and this stimulates a need to review recent events, ideas, projects, interests, and learning paths. It’s not an ideal time for launching new projects or courses, or for presenting important ideas, but it’s strong for reflecting on what has served you well, and which projects and attitudes no longer serve good purpose in your life. Mercury is your ruler, so having it in your privacy sector, along with Mars who is already a guest here, points to a need for extra time to yourself and some level of anonymity. Rest and reflect. Today, however, you are more likely to be in the spotlight, noticed, and perhaps quite in demand.
Cancer
Mercury is now moving through your solar eleventh house, Cancer, and will continue to do so until the last day of the month, This is a generally good, easy, and natural period for communicating, whether orally or written, and for general ease with friends and making connections. You may have more contact with others now, and it’s a good time for sharing your expertise or knowledge with associates. When the Sun enters this same sector on the 21st, there will be even more focus on making connections. Today is good for healthy escape and a forward-looking, positive attitude. Do something non-routine and refreshing for your spirit.
Leo
Now and until the 30th of the month, Mercury is transiting your career and reputation sector, Leo. During this cycle, you’re inclined to think and/or talk about life-plan or career goals, opportunities, and responsibilities. Mercury is analytical and rational, and these qualities can be applied now, but when under strain, Mercury can also be nervous and fretting. Friends and networking can be especially important when it comes to your career or reputation now. It’s a good time to spread the word and promote your work or services. Today can be strong for new insights into your inner workings, as well as for research related to work or health.
Virgo
Until the last day of April, Mercury is transiting your solar ninth house, Virgo, and is moving in harmony with your sign. This bodes well for communications in general – you are mostly well-received and the ideas and words tend to flow smoothly. This mental facility might win you some attention or, at the very least, make life a little easier as you are less inclined to have to explain yourself. You might often think about your life in terms of the longer view, and this can in fact help soothe your nerves, although you could get worked up over differences of opinion from time to time during this cycle. There might also be an inclination to forget or miss some of the details of daily life or routines. Today, you can be very relationship-minded, and a significant person in your life or partner can be helpful or even inspirational.
Libra
Mercury is now transiting your solar eighth house, Libra, and will continue to influence this area of your chart until the last day of the month. While this is not the most ideal time for presentations and communications, it is a strong period for deeper thinking and understanding. You may be attracted to mysteries and complicated or multi-layered subjects and possibly even people. It’s a good time for intimate conversations or consultations. Topics that are taboo or that normally are especially sensitive ones can be approached now with more reason and objectivity. Today is good for stumbling across interesting and helpful information, particularly related to health or work.
Scorpio
Mercury moves into the sign opposite yours today, Scorpio, where it will transit until the last day of April. This is a period in which you’re more likely to consult with others, discuss ideas and plans, and seek feedback. This doesn’t mean you’re not in charge of your decisions – you very much are – but you tend to seek out people who stimulate your thinking and you enjoy the company. Intellectual companionship is sought or otherwise emphasized during this period. Today is a powerful one for creative matters. You are always a perceptive person with accurate emotional “feelers”, but today, you are even more so today. Pay special attention to the insights you get now.
Sagittarius
Mercury is now moving through your solar sixth house, Sagittarius, and while it may not be the most eloquent time for your communications, it’s a strong period for organizing your life from the ground up. You are detail-oriented, but also a little inclined to fret or worry over matters you don’t always pay much attention to, during this cycle that lasts until April 30th. You are likely to be thinking a lot about your work, services, health, and routines at this time, and you might come up with improved systems or you could update your skills quite successfully now. Today is strong for family relationships or domestic matters. It’s a good day for centering yourself, particularly as tomorrow brings a quicker pace.
Capricorn
Mercury is now transiting in harmony with your sign and in your solar fifth house, Capricorn. This brings a general ease with communications, facility with words, and natural ability to get your ideas or message across during this cycle that lasts until the last day of April. You can be a little more creative or playful with your words, and bolder when it comes to sharing your ideas. You might also be attracted to people on an intellectual level now, or attract people through your intelligence and wit. However, with Mars and now Mercury here, your playfulness may be misinterpreted by others. Otherwise, this is a good cycle for writing, entertaining, creating, and expressing yourself.
Aquarius
Mercury is now moving through your home and family sector, Aquarius, and will continue to do so until the 30th. This can be a time of evaluating your inner feelings, values, and connections, or of assessing and negotiating in your domestic life. You may have a stronger feeling for others’ moods or needs. However, this is not the most verbose period of the year, as you could be a little hesitant to share your thoughts with people unless you’re absolutely comfortable with them, or simply a little more withdrawn and retiring at this time. It may be difficult to do so during this cycle, but it’s important to try to separate emotion and intellect in certain situations. Today, there can be a general focus on the world of the five senses, comforts, simple activities, and practical affairs.
Pisces
Mercury is now transiting your communications sector, Pisces, where Mars has been visiting since the beginning of the month. This transit that lasts until April 30th brings out your curiosity, desire to know and learn, attention to details, and ability to multitask. There can be more contact with family, peers, classmates, and possibly neighbors. You need mental stimulation now, but could easily become distracted. There is generally an easy, natural flow of communication with people around you. Your focus tends to be on intellectual companionship and relations, and a little less on emotional connection. Today, however, the Moon is in your sign all day, and you’re especially interested in feeling emotionally connected to the world around you. Fortunately, you’re likely to find many channels for expressing these swelling emotions.

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 15th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
