ASTROLOGY UPDATE by Roy Neal —

Old Historic Astrologer

APRIL 2026

We begin the month of April with a Full Moon in the sign of Libra. This is also April Fool’s Day. Because the Sun is in Aries and ruled by Mars the tension of the opposition between Mars and Venus, the ruler of Libra, reflects the polarity between the self (Aries) and others (Libra). Only a fool would not be aware of how their actions (Mars) impacts the peace, harmony and balance in their relationships with others (Libra). Venus (love) is here to teach Mars (desire) how to share and co-create experiences of co-operation and mutual value.

Full Moon in Libra with Easter BunnyEaster Sunday is April 5th. We are reminded of the sacrifice of a man of love and peace (Venus) to the God of War and unhealthy self-interest (Mars). One can only wonder how the nature of conflict between opposing forces will ever be fully resolved.

The key to resolution is likely to occur within ourselves. When enough people have acquired peace within themselves, there will be peace in their relationships with each other and in the world. Be the peace and the love you wish to see. Take responsibility for the quality of energy you choose to express in your life and your world.

A Last Quarter Phase Moon occurs in Capricorn on Thursday, April 9th. An emotional need to move forward with our goals and objectives on a personal and professional level is amplified by Mars entering the sign of Aries also on this day.

Mercury enters the sign of Aries on Tuesday, April 14th. Asserting and expressing our ideas and truth is favored. Healthy confrontations are likely to occur on the 14th, 15th and 16th of April. Our willingness to be assertive and express our truth is further enhanced as we experience a New Moon in the sign of Aries on Friday, April 17th.

New Moon in AriesOwning and honoring our own value occurs as the Sun enters Taurus on Sunday, April 19th. Financial security is likely to be our desire and focus as the Sun continues to transit the sign of Taurus.

Earth Day is Wednesday, April 22nd. Planting a tree or growing a garden to honor our personal environment and the planet is favored.

A First Quarter Phase Moon occurs in Leo and Venus enters Gemini on Thursday, April 23rd.
Creative self-expression and celebrations involving friends and fellowship is encouraged for the weekend as Uranus enters the sign of Gemini on Saturday, April 25th.
