Void of Course Moons - April 2026

 

For those of you who track the void of course moons through the months, here is April 2026. The void of course moon occurs when it doesn’t aspect (connect to) an astrological sign. This usually lasts hours or even a day and is a time for rest and reflection, avoiding important tasks or decisions. See how avoiding the VOC moon can improve your timing.

A big thank you to amazing astrologer Felissa Rose for the charts.

Horoscope for the Week of March 2, 2026 - Personal Planets in Pisces

 

A cavalcade of personal planets – Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars – are all in sensitive Pisces. Will our emotions rule our common sense? Apply your kindness and avoid any “overt reaction.”

 

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)

There is so much energy swirling around beneath the surface of things you may begin to feel a little disjointed and unsettled. But this is all part of the cosmic plan for you, Aries. Dig deep into your consciousness and see where you can heal the world … or at least the part of the world that you can control.

 

TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)

Getting involved in a large group effort feels especially important and revitalizing for you, Taurus. But choose your organizations and groups carefully lest you find yourself in areas where you can become overwhelmed. Taking all opportunities in small doses where you can test out your interest. This is the best path.

 

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)

There is so much going on around you at your place of work that you might experience greater stress levels as the week progresses. But this is not a bad thing, Gemini. It enables you to get a clearer picture of what you want in your long term plans and what you need to lose or lessen. Make logical assessments.

 

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)

Your world view undergoes an evolution based on your gut feelings, Cancer. Allow yourself the time to process any new knowledge and be sure to check all of the sources before you go forward. Ultimately you want to expand your influence and capabilities. These needs can be sated with a range of possible options.

 

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)

Leos find that they are more emotional now and why not? The cosmos is tugging at your heartstrings and making you more attuned with your inner feelings and yearnings. Explore the range of possibilities as they come to you and find more ways to channel these emotions in positive ways. Vulnerability is not a big risk.

 

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)

What is it about certain relationships that get you a bit overly sensitive, Virgo? There might be a back and forth this week that opens up better communication and deeper discussion. This leads to better understanding. Some people manage to tap into your inner core. The question is how you can best use that energy.

 

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)

Anything having to do with your overall health figures prominently in your day to day life now, Libra. Know that your current level of sensitivity to all types of stimuli increases your stress or otherwise makes you feel more fatigued. Explore a range of new wellness techniques that foster calmness and vitality.

 

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)

Scorpios are especially inspired now as their creativity and ability to envision the full range of artistic possibilities are enhanced. Allow yourself time and space to make your inspirations into reality. It could be a special event or a long deferred pet project. Whatever gets you into another headspace should be explored.

 

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)

Family gatherings take on a greater importance and prominence in your life, Sagittarius. Find more ways to increase the communication between those who may not often be in touch. Outreach really gets to the heart of any matter. And you find that your enjoyment of simple just-let’s-get-together activities increases.

 

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)

Be aware of not only what you say but how you say it, Capricorn. You get anything you want by crafting your message and discovering the best way to ask depending on the audience. Your ability to convince others of your authority and opinion enables you to connect to others on a much more deeply meaningful level. 

 

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)

Your value system undergoes a reassessment and possible revision, Aquarius. This is because you are viewing things more emotionally than logically. And this is not a bad thing. Sometimes we need to revamp to keep up with our own maturity and evolution. Wherever you land on certain issues, it is all for the good.

 

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)

Step into the spotlight, Pisces, as the world beckons. You make a big splash on any social scene and command attention and adoring audiences. This is your opportunity to showcase all of your considerable talents and launch any long term project off the ground. There will be those who help you along.

THE FIRST MERCURY RETROGRADE OF 2026

 

Astrologer Felissa Rose offers her views on the upcoming Mercury Retrograde. 

 

The planet Mercury is retrograde three times every year.   Sometimes the retrograde begins at the end of one year and ends in the next, but regardless of when it begins and ends it totals three times.   This year it starts on Thursday February 26^th at 1:49 am EST when Mercury is at 22 degrees and 33 minutes of Pisces.   It turns direct and ends on Friday March 20^th at 3:34 pm EDT with Mercury at 8 degrees 31 minutes in Pisces .

Whatever planetary body is retrograde it tends to slow down its effects, for retrograde energy tends to be internalized.  Mercury rules thoughts and communications, seeking to express them with clarity.   During the time it is retrograde  there is an increased inclination to think before speaking.  Many authors are born with this position, going over what they have written before expressing it outwardly.  Although it might not always be easy to do this, generally thinking first and expressing what one has been thinking about seems like a generally good idea.

As mentioned, Mercury deals with communications and ideas, seeking to express them clearly.  Pisces is a sensitive and emotional sign, often imaginative and dreamy.  When placed together when it is needed to be decisive, it’s easier to get distracted.  The sign  Pisces is ruled by the planet Neptune one of mists and fogs.  It is the higher octave of the planet Venus, one of beauty and personal love.  Neptune seeks a more spiritual form of love.   When Mercury is moving through the sign  one can be attracted to the spiritual side of their being, as well as the creative through music and art.                                                                        

While Mercury is retrograde it’s important to be careful with worldly things like important documents and contracts, as details are more likely to be overlooked.  Astrologically opposite signs are grounding and Virgo, ruler of details and nuances is the opposite one to Pisces. It would be grounding as well as stabilizing to go over things carefully, especially with paperwork.

Mercury rules mechanical parts, especially wires, circuits and tubes.  Mechanical and technological issues are more common during Mercury retrograde periods.   It would be better to be cautious when purchasing items such as cars, technology , electrical appliances  or any kind of electronics.   If you must make a purchase,  be sure you will be able to return it and get  your money back.                                                               

 Mercury retrograde periods are generally not the best time for medical exams or procedures as things can get overlooked.  Often issues arise with the parts of the body associated with the sign Mercury is moving through.  Pisces rules the feet, so  bunions, corns,  or discomfit with a new pair of shoes can manifest or be more noticeable.  Mercury also rules the nervous system.   Aches and pains in the nerves can also be more apparent during the time Mercury is retrograde. It’s helpful to find ways to express any discomfit, whether through exercise, massage, chiropractic or acupuncture treatment or even talking or writing about what is bothering you.   Hopefully you have connected to a practitioner of the treatments mentioned before the retrograde.  

So, spend time looking inward and being more introspective.   It’s favorable to go over past issues and events and if needed let them go.  The next Mercury retrogrades this year will be from June 29^th to July 23^rd and October 24^th to November 13^th.
