The Sun enters the sign of Taurus on April 19th at 1:04 p.m., Mountain Time. Taurus is an earth sign and is associated with creative Venus. The Taurus personality is calm, material, luxurious, aesthetic and stubborn. Typical Taurus occupations include bank teller, designer, cosmetician, art dealer, financial advisor and florist.
There are two main astrological events occurring this month. The most nervously anticipated alignment is the last of the three oppositions Mars will make to Pluto. The first time Mars opposed Pluto was on November 3rd, coinciding with the election. The second retrograde pass from Mars happened during the L.A. fires. The final opposition will take place on April 26th. Based on their previous transits, this one may be similar in magnitude. Pluto just entered revolutionary Aquarius, while Mars is in fiery Leo. Yes, it’s a volatile alignment. Play it safe.
Luckily, the solar system always maintains an equilibrium. This challenging Mars-Pluto opposition is being counterbalanced by a powerful and very positive Grand Trine. Pluto (We the People), Uranus (change), and the South Node (what needs to be fixed) form this Grand Trine. This is a very long-lasting Grand Trine that will be active from December 14, 2024, all the way until May 26, 2025. This is the time to help change the world. Make independent decisions and move forward in your life, regardless of outside circumstances.
