April is a HUGE month for intense energetics, especially the 2nd half of the month.. we can all sense this energy coming in so powerfully on many levels. Many astrologers have NEVER seen so many orbiting bodies in fiery-forward moving Aries in all their lives, with all planets moving direct until May 6th.
This new moon is where fire meets water, and reality collides with illusion. Drifting through a strange ocean of feelings, it is a realm of emotional polarity. Astrologers see this zone as one of trials, however hidden rewards, where persistence through chaos pays off in the end. This is not a place of ease, however of creative tension and traumatic positive catalyst.

Aries-Moon Transit 1st House
Your emotions are incredibly raw and tearful, which might be problematic during important business meetings. Just let it wash over you, for it won’t last long. Purge yourself of internal rage and turmoil during this time. There is no point trying to keep a lid on it. Getting all Zen with your unfulfilled desires will lead to more frustration.It is important to remember that this bothersome excess of empathy also translates into extra intuition.
Pisces- Transit 2nd House
The moon in this zone has you sentimentally attached to objects or your possessions. You might build a fortress of your stuff around you to feel secure. Don’t buy anything mechanical or utilitarian. Instead, you gravitate to items that remind you of childhood or your first love rather than practical considerations.
Aquarius-Moon Transit 3rd House
You will find it very hard to communicate and put words to your feelings. All reactions are operating from your gut. Acting superficially with others is challenging as random people spill their deepest secrets to you from every corner. I would embrace it as you will find these same locals will re-pay you the help in the future should you need it. Insignificant events, like music from a passing car, might trigger an intense reaction. The universe is speaking to you! Connections between things seem loaded with emotional significance. Positively you can read and anticipate the minds of your neighbors and siblings.
Capricorn-Moon Transit 4th House
This Moon position opens up long-buried family skeletons for you. The natural thing to do (as you may feel like regressing to the mental state of a 3-year-old) is to huddle in bed. So get the fluffiest duvet you can find and cocoon yourself in it. This is Moon/Womb time par excellence. Don’t bother to push yourself out of your comfort zone.
Sagittarius Moon Transit 5th House
You should enjoy simple pleasures in life with your loved ones. This transit takes you back to a time of childlike innocence. You will also feel extra protective over children and cute pets and a burning desire to care for others.n love relationships, you will feel extra romantic and gushy. Spend time watching old, soppy movies with your partner. That would be an effective way to process any emotional neediness.
Scorpio-Moon Transit 6th House
Put into focus practical matters and organize your life. Habitual reactions are strong at the moment. So if you want to replace bad habits with good ones, you will effortlessly fall into the new routine. Start an exercise program while you are less swayed by emotional impulses and your willpower is strong. Health issues could raise their voice as well. So give your body your full attention or it will only howl more loudly. Yin yoga is a great option!
Libra-Moon Transit 7th House
There is an intensification of intimate relationships and business collaborations, for better or for worse. If you are in a happy marriage, you may feel extra love, affection, and romance. The commitment isn’t one-sided, as both partners want to profess their devotion. Things could get competitive in a business partnership. The rivalry will be creative nonetheless, with both sides spurring each other toward increased excellence. On the other hand, poor alliances will show up their flaws very sharply.
Virgo Moon Transit 8th House
Dark romances and forbidden fruits appeal to you. There is an obsession with foods or songs that trigger adrenaline-charged emotional responses in you. You could become quite voyeuristic. Material objects around you have the potential to become a fe**sh. Extrasensory perception is occurring at this time. However, the transit is a real howler that can even make you feel quite unbalanced & mind-altering substances will only make things more psychotic. The underworld may also hold more fascination for you, however avoid dark people and grab a gothic horror novel instead.
Leo Moon Transit 9th House
Foreign shores pique your wanderlust. There is no better time to escape to a home away from home than now. While it would be nice to go somewhere exotic, you will still want your familiar comforts. So don’t forget to pack your favorite snacks. Ideally, go somewhere that forces you to break your usual routines. Prepare accordingly and don’t get stuck in the same old surroundings. Instead of escaping somewhere far-flung, you could take up some esoteric study. Having an open mind will enable you to explore infinite possibilities.
Cancer Moon Transit 10th House
You could become popular since you are hyper-sensitive to the mood of the world around you. You know what the collective craves so that they will devour everything you serve them. Business should go exceedingly well then during this transit. The only negative is that your private thoughts and emotions also spill out involuntarily into the public arena. That includes social media, so watch those tweets! Your reputation might be at stake.
Gemini Moon Transit 11th House
You will become more sentimentally attached to your friends. Their relationship will feel more like that of blood siblings. You may have to overcome some childish jealousy when it comes to your other friendships, even though you are both fully mature adults. However, you may also experience this clinginess from another friend. Depending on your independence, this closeness can be either delightfully sweet or frustratingly annoying.
Ta**us Moon Transit 12th House
You will want to be a hermit during this transit. Indeed you really should take this opportunity to withdraw and be kind to yourself. There will be a sense of insecurity and sensitivity to criticism more than ever, so avoid abrasive people. Do you want people to rub gritty, salty sand over your open wounds? Absolutely not! Instead, heal those wounds privately, in your home sanctuary. Don’t force yourself to be social if you crave your cocoon.
