Sometimes we have to let ourselves get good and angry, mad enough to spit tacks, before we feel free to say and do exactly as we please. Just one insensitive person hurting our feelings will often do the trick.

The Sun’s conjunction with Pluto is an ideal time to let go, cleanse, and reset. The Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio directs us to escape obligations that don’t suit us, and join with others to build new things. Venus and Mars fall into one another’s arms for a sexy embrace, and their aspects to Uranus keep things fresh. Mercury gathers intel from Mars, Uranus, and Neptune, and April answers a listener question about fitting transits into your daily schedule.

We’re leaning into a time of rapid change, with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the Lunar Nodes shifting into new signs in a period of just six months. The winds of change can sweep us up and deposit us somewhere new and exciting, but they can trigger destructive fires as well. When too much changes too fast, we can feel disoriented and lose our center.
