April Astrology Forecast 2026
3/30/20262 hr 49 min
A deep dive into the astrology forecast for April 2026, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. The first hour is dedicated to unpacking the astrology behind recent world events, with a primary focus on the outbreak of war in Iran that aligned with the recent Mars-Uranus square. We explore the striking historical repetitions at play, discussing how current Saturn-Neptune and eclipse cycles mirror significant historical turning points from the past, and what that means for the present global landscape. In the second half, we transition into the granular astrology of April, a month characterized by a fiery, highly concentrated planetary stellium in Aries. The standout alignment is a severe and grinding Mars-Saturn conjunction peaking mid-month, bringing intense friction, tests of endurance, and a distinct feeling of pressing the gas and the brakes at the exact same time. Finally, we look ahead to the monumental shift occurring on April 25 as Uranus officially ingresses into Gemini, where it will remain for the next seven years. We discuss the profound historical precedents of this transit, often coinciding with major ideological shifts, communicative and technological disruptions, and pivotal conflicts in US history, and what it implies for the years ahead.

Hey, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to The Astrology Podcast. Joining me today is astrologer Austin Coppock, and we're gonna be doing a deep dive into the astrology of April 2026. Hey, Austin, welcome back.

Hey. All right, so we're back for another month. A lot of stuff has happened, of course, in the past month since our last forecast episode, so we're gonna spend the first hour of this episode catching up on news and events in the world since our last recording and talking about the astrology behind the news stories. Then in the second hour of this recording, we're going to do a deep dive into the astrology of April. So as always, there'll be timestamps if you wanna jump ahead to the forecast section. But otherwise, let's get into it. And before we do the news, let's do a quick overview of the astrology of April. All right, so here is the planetary alignments calendar that shows the major alignments in April. Right at the top of the month on April 1st, we have a full moon in the sign of Libra, then Venus squares Pluto on the 3rd, the Sun squares Jupiter on the 5th. Mars ingresses into Aries on the 9th and then begins the build-up to a conjunction with Neptune, which it completes on the 13th. Then Mercury goes into Aries on the 14th. Mercury then conjoins Neptune immediately on the 16th. We get our second lunation of the month, which is a new moon in the sign of Aries on the 17th. Then our biggest aspect of the month is a Mars-Saturn conjunction that looks pretty tough around
