JUPITER TRINE NATAL MARS

Jupiter’s transit through the full Zodiac takes about 12 years. Therefore, it makes a Trine (120°)to your Mars every 4 years. 

 

When we are referring to orbs of influence, those individuals who are highly in-tuned may feel the energies up to 7 to 8 ° as they approach being direct.  Some Astrologers even allow a 10° orb of influence. 

 

Most people will begin to feel an influence at about 3-5° as it approaches.  An applying orb (moving together) is said to heighten and is especially strong at about 1° approaching and is considered to be in the process of unfolding.  As it becomes direct (exact same degree) and is activated by other planetary triggers, (Transiting Uranus, or the Sun, or Mars or the progressed Moon) actions often take place.

 

For something viable to take hold in our lives, however, there must be at least three other activities that relate to the same energies as what is unfolding at roughly the same time.  This is particularly true if one or more of the angles are involved in the process.

 

Transiting Jupiter is about growth and expansion and often brings with it opportunities available for us to utilize.  You may feel as though nothing can go wrong, but don’t be fooled as the whole chart needs to be carefully integrated into the calculation.  Under most conditions, however, Jupiter does bring with it opportunities and easy flow, especially when the Trine is part of what is taking hold.

 

Mars in the Natal chart is usually indicative of a place of action depending on the aspects to it from other indicators in the astrology chart.  When activated by Jupiter, you may feel strong about objectives, and you feel as though you should act, which under most conditions is advised.  Because Mars wants to move forward in an aggressive action, however, especially if it is in the element fire in your chart, it is advised that you move cautiously and don’t rush.

 

Transiting Jupiter trine natal Mars is the time to believe in the process of your intensions and you may feel quite restless and eager to advance.  Don’t overdo it as this can tax your energy but make sure you finish what you set out to do.  Confidence will likely be high, and you should take this opportunity to advance your cause. 

 

If Saturn is involved, you can expect some type of delays. 

 

If Neptune is part of the picture, there may be some uncertainty, or you may not feel very secure about what you are doing.  Quite often, however, you will feel as though you are being guided to act. 

 

Pluto may force you to leave something behind for something new and viable to begin. 

 

Uranus energies have a need for change and move in unexpected manners.  They opens your eyes when you might not have been aware of what is taking place around you.

 

Transiting Jupiter trine Natal Mars brings opportunity and easy flow, providing the energy and drive needed to get the job done. Be sure to act!

TRANSITING NORTH NODE IN AQUARIUS

The Transiting North Node will be entering the sign of Aquarius into the summer of 2026.  It remains in this sign for approximately one and a half years, making a full trip through the Zodiac over an approximate 18-year period. 

 

In the past year and a half, it’s been in the sign of Pisces.  The transiting North Node’s energies will change as it enters Aquarius, the sign of brotherhood and humanitarian interests.

 

It is our hope that this change of signs for the transiting North Node signals peace and resolution of the conflicts currently affecting our world.  Perhaps our leaders will take a stand together and fight corruption, immortality and begin a change that is required for our betterment. 

 

As we have noticed over the past couple of months, we walk this earth together and one person’s actions affect many of us.  On some level, we are all struggling emotionally or mentally because of suffering experienced by many of our fellow human beings.  The death toll from war has touched each and every one of us in some way, and we have heard from many that they are wondering where humanity is heading.

 

Astrology may point the way, but it is up to each one of us to do our part by utilizing the energies available to protect those in need and carry the torch of light and love to all of our fellow residences of this beautiful planet we call our home. 

 

Aquarius being ruled by the planet Uranus speaks of the need for change and with Pluto being in the same sign of Aquarius currently, we can expect the path that needs to be taken (outlined by the North Nodes position in Aquarius and influenced by Pluto as well as other planetary influences) suggests that, although a change is required, it will likely not move forward without some power struggles (due to Pluto’s influence on the situation).

 

Aquarius suggests change because it is required, and Pluto demands change because it is time for the old ways to die and for a new beginning to prepare for birth.  Transitions are hard and moving away from what used to be is never easy.

 

Uranus in Gemini makes a Trine to this position.  Neptune and Saturn in Aries both make Sextiles to this position, and Pluto will make a conjunction to this North Node in Pisces position.  It may take the whole 18 months or so for these planetary influences to have their impact but hopefully we pay heed and begin the process.  Remember it starts with you.

 

When transiting North Node in Aquarius calls us to action, make change in your immediate environment then the leaders of the world can begin adjusting to what is not only wanted but is required.

SCORPIO FULL MOON 2026

On May 1, 2026, we will experience a Full Moon in the sign of Scorpio at 11°. 

 

Scorpio has to do with intensity and there are no halfway measures when it comes to emotion and sensitivity.  In most cases, with Scorpio, the emotions are kept under wrap, hidden from others.  When the emotions do surface, however, they surface with force. 

 

To determine if you are affected by this Scorpio Full Moon allow a 3° orb of influence. The Conjunction and Opposition aspects are prime indicators to calculate what is now coming to fruition.  This likely started some six months ago when the New Moon was in the sign of Scorpio. This will involve things that have been buried and left unspoken and now need to surface.

 

There may be some secrecy involved. The current focus may have been hidden or kept under wraps previously but after some digging, these tend to come to the surface. This needs to come out and be dealt with so that you can move forward.

 

This may be personal especially if the first house is involved. It likely involves a relationship of significance because we should look at the opposite house as well.

 

If, for example, the second house is where the placement of the Moon is found now, then there would be circumstances involving financial situations and shared resources.  Much will depend on the other planetary influences in place at this time, especially the outer planets if they are making contact with this position or making important impacts to the natal astrology chart at the same time.

 

Scorpio is about an honest inner look at what needs to surface. It may be considered somewhat unpleasant or taboo on some level.  If it is personal, have an honest look and see what you can do on a personal level to bring about the dynamic changes needed.  In many cases, because of the ruling planet Pluto, transformations begin after an internal study. Once the internal look has been conducted, a new beginning will begin to unfold.  What no longer serves your evolutionary quest now needs to be released.

 

The influence you experience will depend on your response to it.  Some individuals look forward to change and evolution, while others may be fixed and do not appreciate change. Some may refuse to acknowledge that change is what is required. 

 

With the Scorpio Full Moon 2026, the work you put into bringing things to the surface will be reflected by what needs to take hold now. The harder you worked, the greater your rewards, even if you are not sure what comes next.

JUPITER SEXTILE NATAL JUPITER

When Transiting Jupiter makes a Sextile to its Natal position in your birth chart, this will be a time of strong potential for advancing action in life.  The life area involved is determined by Jupiter’s natal house position in your chart as well as the house position transiting Jupiter is moving through. 

 

The prospect potential in the birth chart is determined by the aspects from planets and angles to Jupiter within the Natal Chart.  The reason for the term potential is that all aspects in the birth chart, regardless of whether challenged or not, can provide the impetus for gain and lessons well learned.  Some aspect’s energies are much more difficult to maneuver through.  Because of this, we often experience turmoil in these areas of life, but we will learn valuable lessons from these experiences.

 

Any experience within the natal chart must come from the energies of transit or progressions.  Otherwise, the potential written within the birth chart sits dormant. 

 

Jupiter brings with it opportunities and great potential for furthering our evolutionary quest.  It opens the door to further exploration, develops insight into ways to advance in life, fosters the energy needed to succeed and brings with it what is required to reach higher plateaus. 

 

When Jupiter reaches its own Natal position by aspect these potentials are heightened and much can be achieved during the aspect contact.  The Sextile implies opportunities in these areas determined by the houses involved, but they work much more favourably when we assert ourselves.  Little to no improvement will be accomplished if we choose to sit back and not act on the energies during this highly anticipated life event timing.

 

Using these energies is highly suggested. Examine not only the houses involved in the equation but also the signs involved.  The houses are the areas of life involved, the planets signify the energies involved, and the signs suggest how these can be applied.

 

Transiting Jupiter sextile natal Jupiter offers great potential and personal growth if you put in the effort to get results. This aspect will also help to provide the energy required.

ASPECTS FOR SUN IN TAURUS 2026

On Monday, April 20, we posted an article on Sun in Taurus.  https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-taurus-2026

 

Today, we will look at some of the aspects affecting Sun in Taurus for 2026.

 

When we review the positioning of the major Transits, we note that Saturn and Neptune are both in the sign of Aries. As a result, they are making a semi-sextile to Sun in Taurus. 

 

We also note that Uranus is moving into Gemini on April 26 which will also make a semi-sextile aspect to the Taurus sun.

 

What is a semi-sextile?

 

To begin, with a semi-sextile, you can only allow a small arb of influence which should be no more than 2° from being direct. It is a minor aspect which is considered frictional. It may go by unnoticed. If we are attuned to the energies, however, and with considerable focus and adjustments taken where required, we can take steps that will bring growth over the long haul.  The energy needs to be moved forward and can have a lasting effect if a good degree of work is done.  Sitting by and doing nothing will not bring about rewards.

 

You must consider the planetary energies and the houses involved in the Taurean’s chart to reach possible conclusions as to how these energies might pan out. 

 

Neptune and Saturn have opposing energies. Saturn seeks steady, reliable, hard work to ensure lasting potential.  Neptune, on the other hand, connects with spirituality, intuition and abilities that lie beyond what would be considered “normal” or even static to inspirational insight and psychic intuitive knowledge.  Saturn is in the realistic material realm and Neptune connects to intuitive inspiration and psychic awareness.

 

When both Neptune and Saturn are in the sign of Aries, there is a giant push to do whatever must be done for oneself.  Sun in Taurus individuals must approach life by doing what they need to do and that is best for themselves, not for others, although in many cases others might be involved in the process. 

 

The houses in the astrology chart will indicate what areas of life are involved.

 

Uranus in Gemini speaks of a change of direction often through great transformational energies that we seek through mental reasoning. A new direction is often what this is about and in some cases the action is quick, decisive and possibly abrupt. A part of you will understand that this change of direction is needed, and you know what to do to make it happen. 

 

It is important to look at all other transits which affect this placement, as with all contacts.  This gives you a clearer understanding of what full energies are in play, either making this change easy or challenging.

 

Transiting Jupiter is making a Sextile to this positioning, while Transiting Pluto is making a square. 

 

Check your ephemeris to see where these transiting planets are in your chart and if they affect your Taurus Sun sign. The closer the degree, the stronger the energies.

 

Happy solar return to our Sun in Taurus readers.  The aspects for those with Sun in Taurus 2026 involving Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus suggest there is personal work that must be done connecting with both the realistic and the spiritual realms and a possible change of direction.

SUN IN TAURUS 2026

The sun moves into the sign of Taurus on April 20, 2026.

 

Some of the general traits of a typical Taurus Sun individual include patience, perseverance and reliability.  They seem to have a no-nonsense approach to life, realizing that it takes hard work and a diligent effort to achieve the goals they set.  They know that it takes time, and this is where patience and perseverance come into play. 

 

Most Taureans are considered efficient, practical and reliable. They usually stay-the-course especially when working towards building financial security as they appreciate the finer things in life.  They will work towards a nest egg, and many begin saving at a young age compared to most other Zodiac signs. 

 

They can be quite stubborn and will relentlessly work towards their goals.

 

Ruled by the planet Venus, they are romantic and pleasure seeking. They can and will, however, commit to a relationships when they have found the right partner.  They are loyal and can be counted on to be persistent and stable once committed.  Romance is important to these individuals, and love and affection including closeness are valued character traits that they seek in a romantic partnership.

 

Sun in Taurus individuals are considered quite stubborn and do not like change.  They like the tried, tested and true. They don’t like to take risks as risk can lead to failure and losing what they have worked so hard to gain is out of the question.  If they have to begin over again, it will likely take some time to feel comfortable once again.  They seek stability in all that surrounds them and this includes their occupation. 

 

Taurus individuals are slow to anger, but once angered, they are the bull. You don’t want to aggravate the bull as it can be relentless.  They also hold on to hurt and grief for much longer than most others. It is important for Taureans to learn to let go, as this would help them in their recovery.  Some will hold on to hurt for years and then have a hard time trusting others because of what someone else did to them. 

 

When it comes to occupation, Taureans are grounded and stable and can be totally relied upon. They will never miss a day unless absolutely necessary and out of their control.  They are steady, hard workers.  Most are quite organized and can be relied on to do their job correctly. They take responsibility seriously. You can count on them, and they will never intentionally let you down.  They honor their word.

 

Happy solar return to our disciplined, hard-working, sensual, faithful, reliable, patient Sun in Taurus 2026 readers.

 

Watch for our mini forecast for Sun in Taurus in the next couple of days.

ARIES NEW MOON 2026

On April 17, 2026, we will be experiencing a New Moon in the sign of Aries.  Aries is the initiator, the starter, and the one that pushes for immediate results.  This New Moon falls at 27° Aries and is Conjunct Chiron which is at 26° of Aries and is Semi sextile to Uranus which is at 29° of Taurus.  We also have a Stellium in Aries with Neptune, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn all within orb separated in the beginning from Neptune at 2° degrees and ending with Saturn which is at 7°.  This is considered a tight Stellium so its influence will be felt.

 

The energies of Aries, as you can see, is quite prevalent and is pushing those influenced, especially by Conjunction or Opposition to either the Stellium or the New Moon’s position.  Aries is the pioneer, the forerunner and has quite a strong push to achieve what it sets out to do.  It is very personal, although it can affect others because of what it initiates.  So, if this is contacting your Natal Chart, what do you need to move forward with that is quite personal and may have strong consequences as a result of your actions? 

 

This is a powerhouse of energy, and if used in the correct manner, it can propel you in a forward motion which is quite opposite to any form of stagnation you may have had in place prior to this timeframe.

 

This action is likely immediate and may be rather aggressive.  Those that have planets or angles connected to either the position of the New Moon or the Stellium should certainly pursue their goals.  Remember, the New Moon is the early stages of development and whatever is being pursued may take some time to unfold. Your actions now, however, and the continued effort you apply, will likely be acknowledged when we reach the Full Moon in Aries in approximately 6 months.

 

The Conjunct with the New Moon to Chiron suggests some healing may be required.  Much will depend on the houses involved, as the houses in the Astrology chart are the areas of life that are being affected.  In many cases, Chiron is associated with the wounded healer, who has the abilities to help others heal, but may have some challenges with working towards healing themselves (check houses of transiting Chiron and Natal Chiron as well).

 

The Semi-sextile from Uranus at 29° Taurus can be difficult but also suggests that you are in the right place at the right time.  Watch for doing something without much thought, which is quite possible under these powerful connections to Aries, as well as the desire for change which will be created by Uranus.  The desire is to jump and perhaps you need to do this, but at the same time, do not be rash with your judgments or actions. This is even more important as transiting Neptune and Mercury are Conjunct at this time which may cause the thought process to be a little blurry. At the same time, you may be rushed because of transiting Mars having an impact on this Stellium, as Mars is all about action.  Saturn will be the one that pulls you to stop, if even just for a second, to think about the results of you decisions.

 

The Aries New Moon 2026 is pushing for personal achievement, and you may feel an aggressive push to achieve your goals. Heal old wounds and start fresh. Due your due diligence and think before you leap.

LIBRA FULL MOON 2026

A Full Moon, as many of you are aware, is the culmination of goals or energy put in place some six months ago when we had our New Moon in the same sign.  This Full Moon is in the sign of Libra, the sign of the scales, is linked to relationships of significance in this life.  April 2, the Libra Full Moon will at 12° degrees.

 

During this full moon, using an orb of no more than 3° degrees, it will form a Square to the planet Jupiter which is at 15° degrees in the sign of Cancer.

 

Since Cancer and Libra are both signs that have to do with family and the relationships with them, this is likely tied to members of our family if the Full Moon is making contact in our Astrology chart.  For example, this can include your parents, your spouse and/or your children, if the fifth house is part of the picture. It will affect your relationship with co-workers if the sixth house is involved, and with friends if the eleventh house is part of the picture. 

 

Cancer (Jupiter’s current sign) is an emotionally driven sign, and Libra (the Moon’s current sign) wants to create peace, balance and fairness including justice when necessary.  If there are wrongdoings, the feelings will run deep. If there has been injustice, there is a need to rectify the situation.  All comes out in the wash as they say. You have to put things into the washing machine before they can come out clean. The residue of the dirt that might have surfaced needs to be cleared away.

 

This will most likely, as mentioned, be about relationships.  With Jupiter being part of the process and having been in place for some time, things or these energies will likely have reached a peak. Although the situations are heightened, because of the influence of the great benefactor, Jupiter, you should be able to work things out for the best, if you do what must be done to make things right.

 

Libra suggests you use diplomacy and bring about the balance that is required.  Be the judge but try not to make too many judgements.  Libra always looks at both sides of the situation and will work hard on either side of the coin to bring about favorable outcomes. 

 

There is potential here, but it will take work. Square aspects force you into action, because you want resolution.  Do your best. If it is personal, practice forgiveness. If it is not personal, do not take on the energies of others. It serves no purpose other than to create anxiety to be emotionally involved in something that is not yours to own. 

 

This Libra Full Moon 2026 will certainly involve relationships and emotions will be amplified.  Find peace, balance, fairness and even justice where necessary.
