Some contradictions
At the beginning of the astrological month, Mercury and Mars are still in opposition in the seventh field in Aries but will end this transit on May 3 and 18, respectively. Venus on the other hand, transits in an excellent trine in the ninth field in Gemini from April 24 to May 19. As for the slower-moving planets, the first decan is affected by the trine of Pluto in Aquarius , as well as the oppositions of Saturn and Neptune in Aries ; on April 26, Uranus also begins a trine from the ninth field in Gemini . Jupiter in Cancer is in square to the second decan until May 8, then begins to affect the third. Overall, the sky is a bit contradictory, demanding but not stingy with resources. Certain days, however, require patience: April 22, 23, 29, and 30, May 6, 7, 13, 14, 19, and 20. The days of April 20, 21, 25, and 28, and May 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 17, and 18 will be more peaceful and fulfilling.
Energetic polarity
Although Mars remains in opposition until May 18th, you can count on Venus 's trine until the 19th. This apparent dichotomy between the mythical lovers promises to be interesting, even if it's not always easy to manage; while Mars is strong in its domicile, Venus is still your guiding planet. If we add the prospect of Mercury , which after these transits (on the 17th) will also move into trine and in turn into your domicile, we can therefore hypothesize a profitable month, which will require commitment but will not deprive you of results. Let's say that between Mars and Venus there should be a confrontation, rather than a clash, but this will depend on the different cases, contexts, and moments. Undoubtedly, Mars together with Mercury in the seventh field hints at the risk of a lively, occasionally heated, dialectic, while Venus from Mercury 's sign encourages mediation, in any case a curious openness to different opinions. But not everything depends on you, so certain balances can be achieved or maintained thanks to the behavior of those you interact with. Conversely, your task is to interact more confidently and decisively, without simply submitting for the sake of peace, and by appearing available, but not passive, doubtful, or fearful. It's truly interesting that Mars and Venus , despite their differences, remain a complementary pair even in astrology, like a polarity necessary to create vital energy, balancing individual needs with relational or social ones. An eternal evolutionary challenge, yes; which, however, presents itself as an opportunity this month.
Let the results speak for themselves
Mars ' opposition is always a bit tricky, especially if experienced—as I wrote above—passively, that is, from the outside. For example, at work during this period you might feel annoyed by something or hindered by someone, or even disliked or disliked. This, in addition to generating legitimate disappointment, could lead to contradictory reactions, ranging from anger and frustration, from silent sulks to occasional protests. These reactions, in any case, are ineffective, if not downright counterproductive. If you truly wish to avoid conflict, then silence must be the consequence of true autonomy, so simply focus on your tasks and let the results speak for themselves. If, however, you feel it's right to expose yourself, then let it be to give and ask for direct, transparent explanations, not to grumble or criticize. Bear in mind, however, that at least until June, that is, while Jupiter remains dissonant, difficulties may be concrete, so it's best to be patient and prioritize. You'll likely experience some nervous moments in your private life, too. At least in your relationship, Venus will be encouraging, favoring dialogue, sharing, and mediation. However, be careful with relatives or ex-spouses if there are financial matters to resolve. Here, too, it's best to avoid becoming rigid and, if necessary, seek common ground, even at the cost of some personal sacrifice or renunciation.
First decade
Both Mercury and Mars end their oppositions at the beginning of the astrological month, on April 21-22, and Saturn also ends its opposition on May 8. Venus on the other hand, will remain in trine until the 2nd. In short, it seems like a period of progressive relaxation , encouraging you to regain emotional balance before returning to being active and proactive. Dedicate some time to physical well-being.
Second decade
With Mercury and Mars in opposition from April 21st to 27th and April 22nd to May 5th, respectively, and with Jupiter in square until May 8th, at least in work or financial matters, it's best to be cautious and patient, proceeding in small steps in clear directions. This will undoubtedly be more effective than wasting your emotional and operational energies.
Third decade
Mars is in opposition from May 5th to 18th, while Venus is in trine from the 10th to the 19th, followed by Mercury starting on the 17th. Meanwhile, Jupiter will begin its square on May 8th. It's a complex month, demanding commitment and draining energy, but one in which you'll likely achieve some well-deserved satisfaction. And it'll be easier if you ask those close to you for advice or help.
