**A note about aspects. The following list gives you the day the aspect is mathematically exact, but effects are often felt a day before or a day after. With very strong aspects, such as Stations or Eclipses, we may see events several days before exactitude and later when other planets re-trigger those marker degrees. Aspects affect you personally the most if they connect closely to planets or points in your chart. Contact your astrologer for individualized interpretations.

You could also be prone to discouragement if you cannot easily find pragmatic solutions to your struggles or those of others whom you love. Lean on your faith or the advice of trusted confidantes.
10. 4/20/24 – Jupiter/Taurus conjunct Uranus/Taurus @ 21deg. – There’s a high-level opportunity to express your intuition, your creative invention and to break free from constraints that have held you back.
