Welcome to your Stars
April 9 to 15, 2026
Mars is quite dominant through these days. And it can be in not such a good way for those blundering on, without the awareness necessary to watch their step. As the old Asian Proverb goes, ‘One without mindfulness is like a blind man in a treacherous field of stones.’
​
However, managing yourself, actions and reactions consciously engages Mars’ essential creative power positively, bypassing conflicts or mishaps. Mars exiting Pisces on Thursday can make for hot water or turbulence. Wisdom, however, charts a successful course. Mars in Aries from Friday heightens the need for diplomacy and measured moves to make good headway, not pratfalls.
​
Heeding this advice helps you become more aux fait with Mars’ particular potency or ‘superpower’ on Saturday. Take advantage of this as from Sunday to Tuesday energetic Mars crossing ethereal Neptune can raise peculiar feelings or circumstances. Being able to identify weird emotions, not identifying with them, and knowing the importance of staying calm, clear and careful avoids being sucked into whirlpools or life tempestuously erupting.
​
You then become wiser and much more able to quieten the ego to ‘hear’ your higher Self and clearly see how much stronger and successful this makes you and your life. As Monday and Tuesday demonstrate. And take note, good health attention also pays under Mars-Neptune.
​
Mercury exiting Pisces on Wednesday could stir emotions. Keeping that thinking cap on makes for stability and meaningful connection with others.
Thought for the Times
“Mars conjunct Neptune is a peculiar transit and often accompanied by strange feelings. One could feel irritable and itchy without quite knowing why. And at the same time, feel discouraged and incapable of doing anything useful. Illness or infection can spread more easily too.
But all problems are minimized by taking good care.”
Robert Hand
ARIES: Beware turbulence or unsettling feelings destabilizing you on Thursday as Mars exits your soul zone. Energetic Mars in Aries come Friday then lights the thinking Rams way and charisma. Ditto for Saturday. But it can get weird as Mars crosses deceptive or delusional Neptune Sunday to Tuesday. Amping up the mindfulness with which to manage life, however, averts angst and amplifies rewarding results and wisdom, especially Monday or Tuesday. Proceeding carefully pays Wednesday too.
TAURUS: Mars electrifying life and communications on Thursday means employ diplomacy and beware things getting scrambled. With Mars in your soul or subconscious zone from Friday, inner wellbeing care and sanctuary time become crucial to successfully functioning. Saturday’s also good if you’re calm and clear. However, Mars crossing Neptune requires you redouble attention to soul health and outer actions to keep you on an even keel Sunday to Wednesday. Doing so brings blessings.
GEMINI: Mars can apply pressure as he exits your professional and life path realm on Thursday. Applying yourself appropriately, however, brings breakthroughs. Friday and Saturday are then rewarding and relations with others warm and successful. But deception or faux pas can easily arise Sunday to Tuesday. Watching your words and ways, however, avoids this and accelerates your fortunes, particularly Monday or Tuesday. Mercury could test your integrity Wednesday. Aiming efforts wisely wins.
CANCER: Remaining focused, not flurried, forges worthwhile progress on Thursday. Mars electrifying your career and life direction from Friday can hasten achievement or arguments or trouble. Managing life and ambitions wisely makes it the former, starting Friday and Saturday. But Mars crossing foggy Neptune Sunday to Tuesday calls for even more conscious attention to business and behaviour. However, doing so increases your success, especially Monday or Tuesday. Watch your step Wednesday to continue successfully.
LEO: Mars can stir financial or other deep issues on Thursday. Sensible attention to cash and current behaviour masters the situation. And you’ve a new and inspired take on things Friday and Saturday. However, Mars crossing delusional Neptune can make for disorder or deception. But if you conduct yourself carefully and consciously, you’ll travel a much more successful road instead Sunday to Tuesday. Keeping yourself and spending together greatly improves Wednesday too.
VIRGO: Mars can heat relationships or interactions Thursday. Diplomacy defuses trouble and improves your charisma. Paying more attention to your karmic and financial accounts, under Mars’ rays from Friday, prevents problems erupting (including robbery!) and improves your situation (including health or work), and you can accomplish Saturday. But be particularly careful Sunday to Tuesday, as Mars crossing foolish Neptune could cost you. Doing so, however, changes your fortunes. Mindfulness with all others sweetens success Wednesday.
LIBRA: Beware Mars unsettling your work, lifestyle or health regimes Thursday. Staying onto it creates progress. Mars heats up your interactions with others from Friday. Conscious attention to relating with others, however, leads to new success, which Saturday continues. But sirens sound Sunday to Tuesday as Mars crosses nebulous Neptune. Checking your words and everyone twice, however, can raise true magic, particularly Monday or Tuesday. Paying mind to work and details pays Wednesday.
SCORPIO: Being thoughtful with loved ones, children and your self-expression averts trouble on Thursday and heightens your charisma. Mars in your work and health zone from Friday requires constructive attention to these matters for renewal, not complications, and satisfying progress is made Saturday. But Mars crossing enfeebling or confusing Neptune makes Sunday to Wednesday quite perilous. However, redoubling your efforts scores goals and wins hearts instead, Monday or Tuesday especially.
SAGITTARIUS: Mars exiting your residence and family realm can stir things up Thursday. Sensible attention quells storms and promotes success. Thoughtfulness heightens your magic with loved ones and others Friday and Saturday as Mars lights your fire. But things can get strange Sunday to Wednesday under Mars-Neptune. Ensuring all your data and facts are correct and communications with others are clear avoids raising regrettable circumstances. Expediting much better developments and making Monday or Tuesday particularly fortunate.
CAPRICORN: The Goat must be nimble and alert to climb that success mountain now. Starting Thursday, where Mars might speed life’s tempo. Prioritizing helps you keep pace. With Mars in your home and family realm from Friday, practice harmony and pay attention so all else goes well. Right effort makes Saturday rewarding. But sirens sound Sunday to Wednesday. Damaging oversights can scupper you. However, managing life mindfully defuses this potential and creates excellent developments.
AQUARIUS: Beware Mars triggering safety, cash or resources problems Thursday. Alert attention averts this. You’re recharged and newly motivated come Friday as Mars lights your daily life. You can sparkle Saturday too. But red flags fly Sunday to Tuesday under Mars-Neptune. Taking extra care to get actions, transactions and interactions right, however, spells quite magic developments, especially Monday or Tuesday. Getting your sums and behaviour correct as Mercury exits your money zone pays Wednesday.
PISCES: Mars exiting Pisces can promote success or hot water. Employing awareness makes it the former. And watching your wallet, safety and resources pays with Mars in your money zone from Friday. Saturday’s more rewarding by thinking twice too. But warning bells toll Sunday to Wednesday. Feisty Mars crossing spiritual Neptune can cause a costly brew of mistakes and wrong actions. However, acting alertly and doublechecking makes a wonderfully enriching difference, particularly Monday and Tuesday.
