April invites you to take a breath and unwind from the intense emotions of the recent eclipse season, with a Gemini New Moon that's just a New Moon and not an eclipse! Mercury leaves its retrograde period and turns direct, but its shadow period extends some of the retrograde mischief through June 18th. Use this time to rest and to process your feelings from that heavy eclipse season. Meanwhile, do's and don'ts for Saturn's long retrograde period, which begins June 4. And April celebrates her own wedding anniversary with a mini-lesson on how to pick an astrologically auspicious wedding date!
