April 8th’s Mars/Uranus sextile invited liberation as Mars (in the final degree of Taurus) was primed for new action. And now the planet of will, initiative, anger, passion and war arrives in the sign it rules.
This suggests a great rush forward, now that something has been freed. You might experience this as heightened impulse or impatience. Raw instinct. And it is an excellent influence to compete, to assert, to get moving.
However, Mars will conjoin Neptune on Apr 13th and Saturn on Apr 19th. The heedless rush forward will encounter re-routing/distractions and limits. Momentum will slow and there’s more at stake than your immediate impulses.
This is a brief transit, but a lot can happen between now and May 18th. Move forward, but do so with full awareness.
Painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti
