General for Week Commencing: Monday 20 April 2026

	Aries	Monday 20 April 2026	Mar 21 - Apr 19
From the moment you move into the new week, there is change in the air, with the Sun leaving Aries on Monday and bringing your birthday month to an end, but in the process unleashing a very real chance to take your personal power back. It is just as the Sun leaves that a rare triple alignment between Mercury, Mars and Saturn will form and remain closely linked all week. This is the first time that you have even had them together in Aries at the same time, with a coming together of Mercury’s mental focus, Mars’ warrior and competitive spirit and Saturn’s resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes, putting nothing out of reach. Meanwhile, it is just before the Sun returns to your income sector and shifts the solar spotlight onto your income situation, matters and options as it does at this time each year, that the Moon leaves. This will ensure your nose for money is sharp from the start and with Venus leaving on Friday and Uranus on Sunday, as they work to make their final days as lucrative as possible.

	Taurus	Monday 20 April 2026	Apr 20 - May 20
The Sun and two planets are on the move this week and they are not only connected but will spend the majority of the week on the same page. It is on Monday that just a few hours after the Moon leaves Taurus, that the Sun will return to begin your birthday month and new solar year. This will not only ensure you are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start, but with Venus leaving on Friday and Uranus two days later, with heart and gut on the same page and your mind buzzing with thoughts, ideas and concepts for the future. For seven years, Uranus has been your inner guide and personal compass and staying on to get your birthday month and new solar year established couldn’t be more important. Meanwhile, it is on Friday that Venus will leave and return to your income sector to begin the most lucrative months of 2026, followed by Uranus two days later to spend the next seven years here.

	Gemini	Monday 20 April 2026	May 21 - Jun 21
There is not only change in the air, but from the start, there is an overlapping of the past, present and future that hints at what is to come. While the Moon will leave a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on Monday, with three planets here and the Sun returning a few hours later to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year, a sense of nostalgia and a focus on the past is going to continue. With Venus in her final days here, this has added to a sense of nostalgia as she takes your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane. This will continue even when the Moon returns to Gemini, something that will have you anchored in the present but also looking to the future. With Venus returning to Gemini on Friday and Uranus two days later, they will soon be doing the same. Meanwhile, the Moon’s friendly aspect to Juno and Pluto, just as their alignment in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery peaks on Monday, is also a taste of things to come.

	Cancer	Monday 20 April 2026	Jun 22 - Jul 22
The Sun might be on the move, but his departure from your career sector on Monday and return to your friendship sector will do nothing to take the focus off your professional game. If anything, with the Sun out of the way and buoyed by last week’s New Moon, the six planets still here are now coming to the forefront or at least three of them are. It is just as the Sun leaves that a rare triple alignment between Mercury, Mars and Saturn will begin and will remain tight all week. This is the first time that they have even been here at the same time in three decades, with a rare coming together of Mercury’s mental focus, Mars’ warrior and competitive spirit and Saturn’s resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. Meanwhile, the Sun is turning the solar spotlight onto your social life, friendship, team and networking, just as Venus is getting ready to leave on Friday and Uranus on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Moon’s return to Cancer from Wednesday to Friday will be a chance to get your personal bearings.

	Leo	Monday 20 April 2026	Jul 23 - Aug 22
In the early hours of the week, the Sun and Moon are both on the move and while their paths won’t cross, with a connection between the two. It is on Monday that the Sun will leave your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and return to your career sector, something that at this time each year will always see the solar spotlight shift from one side of life’s fence to the other. The Moon’s departure from your career sector a few hours earlier and alignment with the three planets already there is going to get this off to a positive start. However, this isn’t at the expense of the spirit of adventure and instead, the Sun not only leaves six planets behind in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, but the week begins with half of them in a rare triple alignment. However, with Venus leaving your career sector on Friday and Uranus on Sunday, an important week on the professional front will call for some guardrails when it comes to your work/life balance.

	Virgo	Monday 20 April 2026	Aug 23 - Sep 22
As you move into the new week, Monday’s stars will not only be sending mixed messages, but this is a taste of things to come. It is on Monday that just a few hours after the Moon leaves, the Sun not only returns to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery but will join the three planets already there. With Venus leaving on Friday and after seven years, Uranus leaving on Sunday, this not only adds more weight to the adventurous side of life’s fence but more urgency. Meanwhile, at the same time, the Moon not only returns to your career sector on Monday, but into a friendly aspect to Juno and Pluto, just as their friendly aspect in your work sector peaks. While the Moon is only here for a few days and will leave on Wednesday, with Venus returning on Friday and Uranus two days later, by the end of the week, a partnership between planets on the job and career fronts will be locked in place for the rest of the year.

	Libra	Monday 20 April 2026	Sep 23 - Oct 23
It is in the early hours of the week that the Sun is on the move, with his departure from your relationship sector and return to your financial sector on Monday, something that at this time each year will always take the solar spotlight off your relationships and onto your financial situation and money matters. However, that is about all that changes, with six planets staying on in your relationship sector, while the Sun is teaming up with the three planets already in your financial sector. While this has been and will continue to be an important time of year on the relationship and financial fronts, the dynamics are changing. The planets becoming more active on the relationship front are Mercury, Mars and Saturn, the planets of communication, passion and resolve, while the Sun’s reality checks on the financial front are adding to Venus and Uranus’ focus on what’s possible. Meanwhile, when Venus leaves on Friday and Uranus on Sunday, it will be to return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, lighting up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence for the rest of the year.

	Scorpio	Monday 20 April 2026	Oct 24 - Nov 21
On Monday, the Sun and Moon are both on the move and the timing couldn’t be better. While the Moon will leave your relationship sector before the Sun returns a few hours later, with a chance to ensure you are emotionally engaged and aware from the start. As the Moon’s only visit while Venus, the planet of love is in your relationship sector and as she is leaving on Friday and Uranus two days later, with a chance to ensure you are emotionally engaged and aware. While this will see the Sun leave your work sector and take the solar spotlight off your work situation, job matters and options, just as a rare triple alignment between Mercury, Mars and Saturn here begins. This is a coming together of Mercury’s mental focus, Mars’ warrior and competitive spirit and Saturn’s resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. Meanwhile, when the Moon leaves your relationship sector on Monday, it will begin its monthly visit to your financial sector, with a chance to ensure financial instincts are sharp when Venus returns on Friday and Uranus two days later.

	Sagittarius	Monday 20 April 2026	Nov 22 - Dec 21
While it is on Monday that the Sun will leave a playful and creative part of your chart and return to your work sector, something that at this time each year will always see the solar spotlight shift from one side of life’s fence to the other, don’t expect life to become all work and no play anytime soon. As the Sun leaves a playful and creative part of your chart, he will not only leave six planets behind, but just as a rare triple alignment between Mercury, Mars and Saturn here is forming. This is a frontline that even the busiest of developments wouldn’t dare to cross. Meanwhile, the Moon’s departure from your work sector a few hours before the Sun’s return will ensure you are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware, with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground from the start. With Venus leaving on Friday and after seven years Uranus leaving on Sunday, the Sun’s return couldn’t come with better timing. Meanwhile, the Moon’s return to your relationship sector from Monday to Wednesday is a chance to ensure you are emotionally engaged and aware ahead of Venus and Uranus’ return.

	Capricorn	Monday 20 April 2026	Dec 22 - Jan 19
In the early hours of the week, the Sun and Moon are on the move and both give an indication of what lies ahead. While the Moon will leave a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart just before the Sun’s return on Monday, an alignment with the three planets already here before leaving will give this a head start. With Venus leaving on Friday and after seven years Uranus leaving two days later, the Sun’s return couldn’t come with better timing. At the same time, the Moon’s return to your work sector from Monday to Wednesday and a friendly aspect to Juno and Pluto, just as their friendly aspect in your income sector peaks, will pave the way for Venus and Uranus’ return later in the week. Meanwhile, while the Sun’s departure from your home and family sector on Monday will take the solar spotlight off home, family and/or property matters, with six planets staying on to not only keep the momentum going, but to get the week off to an empowered start.

	Aquarius	Monday 20 April 2026	Jan 20 - Feb 18
When the Sun leaves your communication sector on Monday, this might take the solar spotlight off your communications, but with six planets staying on to not only keep the momentum going but taking things to a whole new level. It is on Monday that three of those six planets will come together in a rare triple alignment that will remain tight all week. This is a coming together of Mercury, the planet of communication, Mars and his war on communication roadblocks and barriers and Saturn’s resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. Meanwhile, as happens that this time each year, the Sun’s return to your home and family sector will shift the solar spotlight onto your home, family and/or property matters. With Venus leaving on Friday and two days later, after seven years Uranus leaving as well, this makes this an important week on the home front, though by the end of the week, they will have both returned to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart.

	Pisces	Monday 20 April 2026	Feb 19 - Mar 20
When the Moon leaves your income sector on Monday, this might take the solar spotlight off the income side of the financial fence, but instead of dialling back, things are instead powering up. While benefiting from the clarity the Sun leaves you with and the tailwind from last week’s New Moon, it is a triple alignment between Mercury, Mars and Saturn here that begins on Monday that will dominate the week. This is a coming together of Mercury’s smart head for money, Mars’ drive to see you fight for what you deserve and Saturn’s resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. This is a real chance to take your power back and not just when it comes to the money, but across all the currencies in your life. Meanwhile, this will see the Sun return to your communication sector, in time to put the solar spotlight on the communication lines as Venus gets ready to leave on Friday and Uranus over the weekend. It is then that they will shift their focus onto home and family matters.
