Astrology Forecast for April 20-26, 2026
Image: beautiful spring in Vancouver, Canada!
Note: the dates in this forecast are for the Pacific time zone.
Unless I provide a specific timeframe, we'll feel the energies 24-72 hours before the date I mention (the date when the planetary alignment is exact).
They'll gain strength as they approach, and linger for 24–48 hours after, gradually fading with each passing hour.
💫 To Make the Most of This Week:
This week brings another massive planetary shift of the year: on April 25, Uranus re-enters Gemini. Uranus spends 7 years in each sign, revitalizing and shaking up its affairs. Read more about Uranus in Gemini here.
Uranus takes center stage, but there is more to this week.
A super-charged Aries stellium (4 planets in Aries) is still strong in the skies. It can boost confident, assertive behaviours, but it can also bring out the shadow side of Aries.
“Everyone else is doing better than me.”
“I’m going to run out of time.”
"It's not happening fast enough".
I’ve heard these from many of my clients with Mars conjunctions, squares and oppositions (the tricky aspects) in their natal chart — especially to the Sun or the Moon.
The Moon enters a lengthy void-of-course stretch on Monday and Friday (see Moon Void of Course below). If you need to launch or initiate something new, sit out these periods.
Plan your launch during the Opportunity Period on Wednesday and early Thursday instead.
Venus is active this week! She moves into Gemini and forms aspects with Uranus and Neptune. While this can boost love and romance, the Neptune aspect on Sunday is more beneficial than the Uranus connection earlier in the week.
The Sun and Pluto butt heads on Friday and Saturday - stay out of power games and avoid manipulative people.
💫 Key Astro-Events:
Now let's take a look at the astro-events this week:
✨ Monday, April 20: Mercury Conjunct Saturn and Neptune; Moon Void of Course
The Moon slips into an unusually lengthy void of course: Sunday April 19, 10:17 p.m. to April 21, 10:00 a.m. PDT.
Best For:
- Problem solving - you'll engage both your right and left brain (Mercury conjunct Saturn and Neptune)
Avoid:
- Starting important undertakings you want to succeed, until the Moon-void-of-course period ends
- Being too matter-of-fact when talking about important or sensitive issues. It can come across as cold or uncaring (Mercury conjunct Saturn).
✨Wednesday April 22, 4:30 a.m. to Thursday April 23, 12:28 p.m.: Opportunity Period!
Nice! Opportunity Periods are when the Moon makes positive aspects only before she enters a new sign. Think of them as "electional astrology lite". If you don't have time or energy to build a full electional chart, to find an auspicious time, Opportunity Periods are the next best thing.
And this one is very versatile!
Best For:
- Beginning something you want to grow and succeed
- One caveat: relationships started today can be irresistibly magnetic, but they may not last. Depending on what you're looking for, it may be a good or a bad thing 😉
✨ Thursday, April 23: Venus Conjunct Uranus; Venus enters Gemini
Best For:
- Doing something new and rejuvenating with your partner, if you're in a relationship
- First dates, with a caveat - relationships started today can be irresistibly magnetic, but they may not last.
✨ Friday/Saturday, April 24-25: the Sun Square Pluto; Uranus Enters Gemini, Moon Slips into a Lengthy Void of Course
It can be an emotionally volatile couple of days. Plus, the Moon enters another long void-of-course: from April 24, 3:21 p.m. to April 25 6:04 p.m. PDT.
Avoid:
- Getting into heated debates with power-hungry people
- Being overly domineering toward others
- Initiating anything you want to succeed while the Moon is void of course.
And, as mentioned earlier, Uranus enters Gemini today, starting a brand-new 7-year cycle!
✨ Sunday, April 26: Waxing Moon in Virgo; Venus Sextile Neptune; Mercury Square Jupiter
Best For:
- Making healthy lifestyle changes (Moon in Virgo)
- A romantic date (Venus sextile Neptune)
Avoid:
- Overpromising (Mercury square Jupiter)
- Overly aggressive sales pitches
🕰️ Moon Void of Course
Avoid starting anything new you want to succeed during these periods:
- April 19, 10:17 p.m. to April 21, 10:00 a.m. PDT - it's a lengthy one, so pay attention!
- April 23, 12:28 p.m. to 12:41 p.m. PDT - yes, just 13 minutes. Not a typo!
- April 24, 3:21 p.m. to April 25 6:04 p.m. PDT - another long one
🌙 When Positive Transits Don't Deliver:
I write a lot about astrological timing - the secret sauce that can make your life flow with greater ease.
But, can I tell you something? Timing only works if you are ready to receive what the cosmos is offering.
I've seen people miss beautiful, supportive transits — not because the astrology wasn't working, but because old fears or patterns (shown in their natal chart, BTW), were still running the show.
That's why I also write so much about the Lunar Cycle! It's the cycle of renewal — the place where you consciously decide what you want to invite into your life, and what you need to clear out.
The good news: you can absolutely learn how to bring your mindset and actions in alignment with astrological timing.
MoonManifest — my live program that teaches you exactly this — starts May 13. It's a practical, hands-on, structured experience that unfolds over 28 days, and it's designed to bring real, measurable results. If something in your life feels stuck, this is for you.
Don't take my word for it:
Career & Opportunities
"After completing the course, I continued applying what I had learned… Not long after, I discovered a job opportunity that aligned with my skills – my exact goal. I was hired after just one interview. Previously, I had been going through multiple rounds of interviews with no final offers." — S., Ontario
"Thank you for helping me manifest a job offer, before the course was over. There wasn't even a job opening. I was approached by a recruiter!" — K., Florida
Financial & Life Shifts
"I'm celebrating an unexpected check! A big one… I learned how to do this in Daria's MoonManifest course." — L., Florida
"I had been talking about buying a house for decades… then I took this course, and things started aligning at the right moments. I'm now a homeowner." — I., Chicago
"I had results within 1 month: about 4 unexpected financial opportunities came up. The program helped me to be more clear and intentional with what I want and framing my intentions around that, and also actioning what I can to make things happen." — N., Ontario
Business & Visibility
"...my audience has almost tripled and members of my audience have been sharing such positive feedback." — L., Saskatchewan
Structure & Transformation
"Better conceptualized and executed than any corporate training I have attended." — H., Texas
"Straightforward, practical, interactive… all the things that help make new information become transformation." — R., Asheville
"I literally plan my life around the lunar cycle because of your course. It feels like I get results every month because I'm more aware of what's happening around me, but also that I take time during the new and full moons to sit and reflect and write out what I'm working on (the good and the bad)." — R., Ontario
