This April there will be 23 planetary transits – see what this means for you below.

Mars, Saturn Conjunction in Pisces

Apr 02 to May 11

Mars, planet of action and energy, is in conjunction with Saturn, planet of boundaries and karma, in the sign of Pisces from April 2nd to May 11th 2026. This is a combination of astrology’s two major malefic (harsh-natured) stars, which are also planetary enemies, so this transit requires careful handling. The tough quality of these planets comes together in the sweet, soulful Pisces energy and a compromise may be an executive position in an idealistic organization.

Mercury Debilitation in Pisces

Apr 10 to Apr 30

Mercury, planet of the mind, is debilitated in Pisces from April 10th to 30th 2026, where this planet’s usual analytical style focuses more on pictures and impressions. Mercury is debilitated in this sign, even though you may have a clear inner message about a certain person or idea that you can’t explain in words. Your intuition eventually proves correct, but you have to go through a complex and frustrating process to prove your word and make others understand.

Mars, Mercury, Saturn Conjunction in Pisces

Apr 11 to Apr 30

Mercury, Mars, and Saturn come together in the sign of Pisces from April 11th to 30th to create a complex picture for your communication. Your intuition is strong at this time, and you arrive at answers by unconventional means. Listen to wise advice, but don’t be put off by undue scepticism from people on the outside, especially when you are convinced that you are on to a good theory. Mercury associated with sober Saturn in Pisces gives you extra mental stamina and professionalism, and it pays to take your time.
