As we welcome the spring vibes, the universe is picking up speed this week with our personal planets — Mercury (influencing our daily affairs and minds), Venus (connected to our relationships), and Mars (related to energy levels and drive) all finally awake and active. The increase in momentum kicks in as Mercury moves into Aries on May 15, just a day before life returns to normal pace. With Mars entering Leo on April 17, we can expect a surge of passion and motivation towards our goals and desires.
April 16 is a great time for relaxation, creativity, and spirituality, allowing us to channel imaginative ideas and take it easy. From April 17 onward, there is an exhilarating energy that can help infuse passion into our goals and relationships. Taurus season begins on April 19.
