Welcome to Intuitive Astrology with Molly McCord.

Thank you so much for joining me today as we're going to discuss the major astrology of April

2026, where this is going to be a fast-paced month of forward movement, new beginnings,

and perhaps even fast life changes.

There is a lot happening in April that picks up the pace of life and could even feel

like you are being launched into a new area of experiences, new opportunities, or those

new starts that we've been discussing now for a while.

April has strong ignition energy, and then the blast off also can occur quite rapidly.

That's because we have a growing influence of planets in Aries, including around the Aries

new moon, on April 17th, where we have eight planets in Aries.

Then we're going to see Uranus move through the final degrees of tourists and enter into

Gemini and stay in Gemini, and that occurs on April 25th.

Now as Uranus moves in to Gemini, there will be a conjunction to Sedna plus conjunctions

to Venus.

So this is going to be a big month for assessing what you value, need, love, and desire, because

there's going to be fast-moving changes with this Venus energy conjunct Uranus as well.

So I will touch on that and more in today's show, but essentially April is going to bring

you into an accelerated experience of energy that you could feel as paradigm shifting, fast-moving,

and also that launching energy that the universe is now supporting in whatever you're intending

to create and move towards next.

So lots of action in April.

April is a month to be doing things, to be making moves, to show up and get something

done, to take it forward, to invest in what you're creating so that you are having a intentional

experience with it.

These energies are requiring us to get things done to move ahead and to trust where the

energy feels inspiring, expansive, and opening.

In fact, you could feel that quite a bit this month.

Now I do feel like we're starting to experience a whole new level of time.

We're feeling time differently, we're sensing that it is shifting even our perceptions

of what it means to experience a day, a weekend, a week is changing.

So our relationship with time is evolving.

I'm seeing it compressing, almost like it feels like there's less time in a day, but

there's also a deepening of the energy where when you're involved in something and highly

focused on it, you have all the time you need in the world.

And then there could be other experiences or other periods of time throughout the day

when you feel it goes by in the blink of an eye.

So we are having a new understanding of what it means to be in our energy field as these

accelerations occur, as time feels different.

It feels more inconsistent at times.

Of course, only take that if it resonates with your own experiences, but we are moving

into a new era of living in the present moment more intentionally.

And that really changes how we experience our days.

So we're going to have some interesting experiences of time here in April as the energies

quicken and we could even feel lighter in our bodies.

Now looking at the month of April here, the month begins with the Libra full moon at 12

degrees of Libra and it is opposing the sun in areas plus a gathering of planets in

areas, also squaring Jupiter in cancer.

This is the beginning of the month that's bringing you into balance with what has been

out of balance.

And there could be something that even feels quite emotional or strong that has some influence

on your heart, your needs, your personal world, and it could show you what you need more

of.

And I'm feeling like this particular Libra full moon is allowing us to assess what is good

for me, what is good for my heart, good for my well-being, good for my journey.

And where do I need to be in greater receptivity and balance with that goodness?

So this can certainly bring up where you have been out of balance, maybe giving too much

overly compromising, maybe there have been some areas of your life that you haven't seen

clearly.

And this full moon in Libra wants you to objectively assess what is needed here that would be good

for you, enjoyable, fun-loving, essentially what would bring your energy field into greater

harmony.

And that's a really lovely way to begin the month of April.

Now as we move through April, we have a growing influence of planets in Areas, and I just

did a podcast for you on Friday, March 27th, discussing that lineup.

And as we move through April, we're going to have Mars Enter Areas on April 9th, followed

by Mercury entering Areas on April 14th.

And as each planet also moves into Areas, there's an increase here in what you're ready

to begin and initiate.

And you could feel an anticipation growing throughout the month.

You might be sensing that new things are arriving or coming through for you.

I feel that once that Mars goes into Areas on April 9th, that's really when the energies

start to get revved up because that Mars and Areas rules all the other planets in Areas.

So Mars rules Neptune, Saturn, the Sun, Kyron, Areas, and soon to be Mercury all in Areas

plus the Moon.

So there's going to be more of a natural instinct to courageously move ahead.

And this is where Mars moves from the surrendering sidelines of Pisces into that leadership domain

of Areas to take something forward.

And I think this is also going to be setting up what we are initiating with that Areas

new Moon on April 17th.

That is a powerhouse of supercharged beginnings.

So in the Areas houses in your chart, you want to identify where you have specific

likely a new story unfolding, something fresh coming to your consciousness, a new beginning,

something that you've been guided into and towards.

And this would have been coming through last year in 2025 when we had both Saturn and Neptune

enter into the very early degrees of Areas, then move back into Pisces, revealing what

we needed to let go of or move away from.

Maybe you've been moving between some important life changes or life choice points.

Maybe you have felt you've been in a holding pattern or that you've just been waiting

for something and there's been a sense of questioning, hesitation, doubt, and uncertainty.

Well there's meant to be movement now in April that moves all of that energy into a new

storyline, into a new collective field of experiences.

And so this could be the time when you're seeing what is ready to advance and that it comes

together more effortlessly, gracefully, and easily.

And in fact in April, whatever begins has the potential to be very successful and exciting

as well as invigorating.

I mean this is like the energy just happens.

It just takes off.

There's an accelerated pulse that is now moving through the collective energy field.

It also feels like the energy is clear.

Like I'm just seeing a cleared out open sky, less debris, less distractions, less interference.

It just looks like there's these openings here that April is assuring us into.

And you might be surprised at how fast something develops or takes off, but it's because

of what's been cleared out and moved away.

There's definitely a readiness in April.

You could feel very ready, perhaps impatient, overzealous, ready to go because of the strong

airy's energy that wants to move ahead and launch.

But there's also a sense here of maybe you've been deeply working across timelines

and dimensions because I'm hearing fine-tuning, fine-tuning something that is reaching a point

of clarity.

It looks like there've been layers and layers to something.

And now that it's been worked through, healed, resolved, understood, whatever the case

may be, it feels like there's just kind of a void of nothingness that's been fine-tuned

and it's part of this next field of pure potential.

And that's where the energy feels very strong and vibrant.

And now I'm hearing sole reset.

There's been a sole reset that is being activated here in April.

So again, you may want to listen to Friday's podcast episode where I talked about the airy's

stelium.

I don't want to repeat that here and go into all of that again, but that goes through

each of the planets in airy's and what they are intending and initiating, which will

certainly be playing out throughout April.

Now we see Mars entering into his home sign of airy's on April 9th.

We also have Venus in her home sign of Taurus until April 23rd.

And Venus in Taurus is where we're able to calm the energy, we're able to rest and

regroup.

There is a practical, peaceful energy of Venus in Taurus where she returns to the earthly

domains to settle her nervous system and to rest.

This is where she finds comfort and joy.

It's where she allows herself to be at one with her human experience.

This Venus in Taurus is in her feminine energy.

She is receptive and allowing.

She is trusting and calming.

And so there could be something this month that you're feeling and sensing around your

own feminine energy as well as your own masculine energy.

Because with Mars in his home sign and Venus in her home sign, there is a new energy here

that again, it's part of that reset of understanding more of your own dynamic internal yin yang,

animus, masculine feminine, how they create an internal harmony and can work together

in a way that naturally supports you.

So that energy just feels so beautiful, like it has a very nice synchronicity to it.

So as the first few weeks of April unfolds, you could be in a state of being very conscious

of what you're intending and creating.

You could be looking at things you have already initiated, wanting to update them, improve

them, do another version.

You could have a lot of ideas going on this month that you're testing or figuring out.

There could also be a sense here that something is building and that you're moving towards

a new start in your life that maybe you don't fully see it right away, but you feel it

on the approach or you just know that there's something that you're meant to move towards.

You're meant to say yes to you're ready to prioritize it or to say yes and go for it

because again, airy's energy is about action and movement.

So you might even be feeling that physically this month and that brings the energy into

the body and that your body might be seeking and searching for new ways to feel energetically

supported, whether those are new forms of exercise, movement, athletics, or even anything

that supports your energy now that you're willing to try.

Maybe there is a new healing modality that you want to sample or that you're drawn to.

Maybe there are some new techniques or some new things that you're sensing would be a

good fit for you now, even if they weren't before.

Part of the strong activation here in April is that the airy's energy brings our attention

to the body and physically what the body needs in order to feel strong, confident, and alive.

And you could also be feeling this in terms of your nervous system, needing more ways

to relax and settle.

You might even feel that it's a hard month to do so because there is so much going on

in a lot pulsing through the collective field.

So all of the energy here could be really ramped up in April.

That can be a great thing.

It can be motivating and exciting.

It could also feel like you have to be more intentional in listening to the body and calming

it.

Feeling it time to relax.

So for example, something like Yin yoga might feel readily welcomed where you're relaxing

into those deep stretches and deep poses for a few moments just to allow the body to fully

release.

That could be more of what the body needs here throughout April.

And it feels like whatever comes to your awareness right now is going to be part of what you

need going forward into the rest of the year because of how the energies continue to

pick up the pace.

There is going to be a lack of feeling a slow down, meaning there's going to be a lot

more happening at a faster rhythm.

And part of this month is feeling like we're on that on ramp that we are adapting even

more to what this means at a personal everyday level.

And it does feel like the energies continue to pick up and that we're learning how to

make the most of them and how to support ourselves as the increase occurs.

Now on the Wednesday podcast, I go through the energies of the week.

That's where we look at all of the transiting aspects happening week by week.

So I'll do that more specifically in Wednesday shows.

This show is just an overview of what's to come here in April.

And at the risk of sounding redundant, there's a lot of aries energy that is launching

us and blasting us forward.

Then we move into tourist season starting on April 19th.

But what I'm actually seeing is interesting here is that the strong aries energy dominates

the month.

Then we do have the strong tourist influences because the sun enters tourists April 19th.

And we also have the final weeks of Uranus in tourists until April 25th.

And at that time, we have Venus conjunct Uranus in tourists at that critical 29 degrees of

tourists, the very end, the very end of tourists.

And then Venus also goes into Gemini.

So it's like we have this interesting earth glitch, earth glitch between the powerful aries

energies, an influence of drastic tourist energies.

And then Venus and Uranus are in Gemini conjunct Sedna.

And that accelerates the changes in our everyday life and how our energy systems are going

to be vibrating at a much faster speed.

So I'm feeling like April brings about some type of earth glitch where you might be surprised

at what unfolds for you this month, what changes rapidly, and then where you're being

led to make new choices that perhaps felt delayed, forgotten or removed.

Because I'm feeling like once Uranus and Venus move into Gemini, April 23rd, April 25th,

there is an intense shift in our perceptions of what we want to focus on, create, and

accomplish.

And I'm talking a little bit slower because I'm honing in on this energy, and at one level

it feels life changing for some people, it feels like you're going to have a lot more

in front of you.

That's part of the busyness of Uranus and Gemini is that it will accelerate and change

what we think about, focus on and create every day.

And that's at a personal level, but I'm feeling this at more of a galactic level.

I'm feeling like throughout April.

We are downloading and activating even more cosmic frequencies than we fully comprehend,

and it's taking us in these new directions.

And we did get a sample of Uranus and Gemini last year, but there's something different

about April into May where I'm seeing all these new visuals, and they look like different

shapes.

They do look like they're connected to sacred geometry, but I feel them connected to a different

language, an energy language, and it's not just like glyphs and symbols and cool designs.

It looks like there's new levels of communication coming in to our gradual Uranus through the

rest of this year that is a new energy language, and it's part of the frequency shift entering

into not just our brains, but our full energy field, expanding us into new cosmic understandings.

It feels like a consciousness evolving language and energy is starting to come onto the planet

here in April.

That's how I'm picking up the shift of Uranus into Gemini.

We're expanding how we communicate, how we read energy, the use of language and words,

but it's moving into the higher octaves of communications, which includes telepathy,

energy reading, aura reading, picking up on the unspoken and the unseen.

But as I'm tapping into all this, what it feels like is that it happens faster than our

brains are used to processing, and that's why it's confusing, because all of a sudden

you find yourself thinking something or saying something, and then you're trying to reverse

engineer it to figure out, well, where did that come from?

Why did I think that?

How is that happening?

But we are accelerating our cognitive abilities.

I'm also feeling that our neurological pathways are opening up, and they are able to take

in and comprehend more than what we're used to understanding.

And I'm feeling like this is a, I'm seeing it as a top down energy where it comes through

the crown chakra into, into the brain, and then into the throat chakra.

I feel like it lacks grounding.

Okay, that's what's interesting.

It feels like the energy doesn't fully go through our physical energy systems into the

earth.

I'm seeing it move through that crown chakra, third eye chakra, out through the throat,

and then back out into the universe.

So it doesn't have a grounding influence, and that is part of this new awareness, is

that we're taking in new understandings, ideas, I'm hearing higher levels of intelligence,

and we're not sure how to ground it yet.

Although many people listening to this show, you know how to do grounding exercise is just

fine.

You've been doing them for years.

So there's something here where we have to be more intentional around grounding ideas

and allowing it to settle into the wisdom of the body, because now I'm seeing it in

the belly and even doing breath work with the lungs to regulate this flow, this like big

flow of new intelligence.

The more light filled you are, meaning the more open you are, the more things are going

to come in quickly.

I'm also hearing we have to be adaptable, because this means things are going to look different

than what you expected or thought.

And part of that Uranus and Gemini is that it's going to accelerate us into new everyday

realities that also are going to feel very efficient, easy, streamlined, perhaps even

effervescent.

I'm also hearing this is some kind of prep.

It's a preparatory energy into this next stage of ascension that we're moving through collectively,

although it's interesting because there's only those who willingly want this energy who

will experience it.

There's those who won't understand it and won't be interested in it.

Those who are, you're going to have some fast moving.

I'm hearing magical manifestations, magical developments where things come together so

quickly.

In fact, what they're showing me is that it's the kind of thing that happens so fast that

if you were to tell the story about how it developed and came to be, other people will

be like, what do you mean?

How?

How could that happen like that?

Or so easily, you're so quickly.

And it's validation of the energies you've cleared out and the timeline you're living

in.

So there's something about it that can seem very surprising and jolting because it is not

of the 3D world.

It is not of the old paradigm.

So there's new paradigm realities that are going to be taking off throughout April and

there's also going to be a sense that things you were waiting for do show up and do come

through and that there might even be some jolts into that next version of your realities.

Again, this goes to a glitch.

As part of that reset, something is being reset in the higher realms this month.

And honestly, this energy is swirling around my head and my crown chakra so quickly that

it does feel a little destabilizing and dizzy, but in a good way, in a good way.

And I am realizing that I need to go have some grounding foods right now after I finish

this podcast to come back into the body.

So grounded foods would be anything of the earth, any root-based foods, any solid proteins

or energies that your body can use as fuel very naturally.

Anything that brings you into the earth in some capacity is also good for grounding.

And that would be important throughout April is to make sure that you're intentionally

grounding because of the speed, pace and higher frequencies of this month.

And honestly, I feel like that's the main message of this podcast.

So I know we didn't do a lot of astrology in today's show, but I will be going through

it more specifically every Wednesday.

But this is just a heads up that depending on how you work with Aries and Gemini energy

is going to set the pace for how you experience the month of April.

For some people, it could feel like it's all moving too fast that less is stable and

that you don't know what to choose.

There can be that level of experience.

There's also going to be, for many people, a sense of take-off and accelerate developments

here that you've been feeling and sensing and then something clicks and it just moves

us into this whole new world.

I'm feeling that type of transition like there is a new world, new realities loading and

coming through in April and that they're definitely connected to these higher cosmic frequencies

that are also going to be blasting through once Uranus returns to Gemini on April 25th.

Now I did do some shows for you last year on Uranus and Gemini that were about the changes

that are developing and unfolding with Uranus and Gemini.

I will use some of those links in the show description if you want to refresh the Uranus

and Gemini changes and we will be talking more about that as we move through April.

But otherwise April is a month of rapid movements, new initiations, brand new beginnings, a sense

of things taking off and moving forward.

Again, this will also be strengthened during that Aries new moon on April 17th.

So we will discuss this even more as we move through April but I hope this gives you

something to plan for or work with in the month where time is accelerating, our concept

of what it means to make the most of every day is shifting, we're going to be presented

with new priorities and new choices in April and you might be surprised at how

quickly things can change around and move you forward this month.

So wishing you a beautiful start to April, hoping that you're able to make the most

of these fast moving cosmic frequencies as well as welcome the changes that are right

on time for you and how the universe is advancing you forward during this pivotal time on

the planet.

So I'll be back every Monday and Wednesday with a new show for you.

As always, thank you so much for joining me for today's podcast, wishing you a beautiful

day ahead and I'll be back here soon and we will keep discussing these wild astrological

energies of the month.

Take good care and I'll see you back here soon.
