STAR/CHILD: The Astrology of Family

April has the most intense astrology of the year and this is the week it stops being a forecast and starts being a lived experience. But before anyone spirals, intense is not the same thing as destabilizing, and we have already done destabilizing, extensively, for six straight weeks of eclipses and a Pisces mercury retrograde where nobody could think or communicate or figure out what they were feeling about literally anything. That was being lost at sea. This week is more like someone handed the car keys back and also the car is now a rocket, which is exciting and also a lot when you haven't slept properly since the Obama administration.Key moments of the week:Monday, April 13: Mars conjoins Neptune in Aries (1:29AM)Monday, April 13: Venus in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer (4:20AM)Tuesday, April 14: Mercury in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus (1:10PM)Tuesday, April 14: Mercury enters Aries (11:22PM)Thursday, April 16: Sun conjoins Chiron in Aries (11:10AM)Thursday, April 16: Mars in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius (2:55PM)Thursday, April 16: Mercury conjoins Neptune in Aries (10:01PM)Friday, April 17: New Moon in Aries (7:51AM)Saturday, April 18: Mercury in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius(4:34PM)Sunday, April 19: Mars conjoins Saturn in Aries (6:43PM)Sunday, April 19: Sun enters Taurus (9:39PM)To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

This week is the exhale after the exorcism. Last week had us elbow-deep in our relationships doing the kind of emotional surgery that leaves you simultaneously lighter and needing to lie down for three days. We did that work. We went into the dark, uncomfortable, sticky parts of how we relate to other people and came out with something that actually feels like clarity instead of just exhaustion dressed up as growth.So we're entering this week with genuine, hard-won optimism — not the fragile kind, the load-bearing kind. The kind you can actually build on because it survived contact with reality.Key moments of the week:Sunday, April 5: Venus in Taurus sextile North Node in Pisces (7:49AM)Sunday, April 5: Sun in Aries square Jupiter in Cancer (6:22PM)Wednesday, April 8: Mars in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus (12:11PM)Thursday, April 9: Mars enters Aries (3:36PM)To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app
