The planet Mercury is now going backwards, and will continue going backwards for a few weeks. So there’s a good chance that communications will be disrupted, and if we’re expecting news, we might be in for a long wait.
Mercury’s backward movement could also have an impact on travel. Getting from A to B could be a real struggle, with or without Icelandic volcanoes.
On Monday or Tuesday, depending on your time zone, the Sun moves from Aries to Taurus. For many of us the last month has been a time of big initiatives, but we now have to put in the work. Creating stability for ourselves, and recognising that without perseverance and effort, nothing of any lasting value is likely to be achieved.
Later in the week Venus moves onto a fixed star known as Caput Algol, also known as the Demon’s Head.
Caput Algol can be associated with vanity. People thinking they’re beautiful, and getting their comeuppance. And those who try too hard to look beautiful can end up ugly. So it’s a bad time for having cosmetic surgery, or for having procedures such as botox.
On Saturday Venus makes a favourable aspect to Saturn. Venus is the planet of love, Saturn is the planet of responsibility, so relationships can be strengthened. Perhaps it’s a good time for making new commitments.
As far as the broader picture is concerned, next week, on April 26 or 27, Saturn makes a stressful, 180-degree aspect to Uranus. This aspect is not a one-day wonder, as I’ve discussed in a previous article. It’s very tense, and it’s going to put all of us, around the world, on edge. This aspect can be associated with terrorism and earthquakes. And yes, exploding volcanoes.
This week, in the run-up to the Saturn-Uranus aspect, we might see clear signs of the underlying stress, and we must watch how we go.
Right at the beginning of the week, on Monday morning in Europe and America, the Moon triggers Saturn and Uranus. Then at the end of the week, on Sunday, it triggers them again. These could be times of great tension, and we must go out of our way to avoid taking risks.
