This month has been noteworthy, and the last third is going to change the game for all of us in some way. Much like your life was turned upside the second your first baby was born, when this month ends we’ll all be in a different place than where we started. Get excited!
The main reason for this is the planetary build up in Aries, which reached 8 heavenly bodies by the new moon on April 17th. To have this much fire – the energy that spells action in our world – clustered in one sign is unprecedented.
Even though it peaked late last week we’re still feeling it and there’s no better time to take action towards your dreams and goals. With all planets direct until early May there is nothing to hold you back. Got an idea for a side hustle? Go for it. Ready to finally write that book? Fire up your computer. Do you have a dream sitting on your heart? Give it oxygen to see where it could take you!
The final third of the month features strong Uranian energy, the planet known as the great awakener, or the planet of liberation. While this planet brings excitement and rapid change, sometimes it’s methodologies can be inconvenient in the moment. Pay attention to the Uranus shift into Gemini on April 25th. Keep in mind that Uranus always acts in our best interests, flipping the script and cutting the ties that bind us even when we don’t know it. This might be the day your child gives up naptime for good (where will you get free time now?!) or starts walking for real. No matter the development, it will be exciting yet require adjustments on the spot.
I know how the world looks right now, I see the headlines, too. As a reminder, one of the biggest themes of the Pluto in Aquarius transit that we’re living for the next two decades is power back the people. This spells a return to living in community like we do in Fairfield and participating in like-minded groups like we have here at Fairfield Moms.
This entire year of 2026 is unlike anything we’ve ever seen in the sky map in modern history, but make no mistake, this year can be yours. Seed new beginnings, harness the powerful energies to lay the groundwork for the future you seek for you and your families. The energy is working in your favor. April is a big one for all of us so stay aligned and take your action, it’s go time!
