🌌 🔭💖 here for the astrology ✌🏻✨

Pluto in my 3h squaring Mars in my 6h with Uranus sextiling my 6h ruler lol and Mars sextiling my chart ruler! I think I’ll lay low the next few days.

I think I can always sense the void moon, they really make me want to just do nothing. Could this be my chart ruler being in cancer? (And my naturally lazy Taurus sun? lol)

Venus about to square Saturn will be interesting as a night chart with Libra rising in the solar return chart lol and it conjuncts my natal chart ruler. Sure.

Lily-of-the-valley is the birth flower of May. A legend tells of a nightingale’s enduring love for this flower, returning each year to sing to his belovèd, & falling silent as her blooms fade away. For this reason the lily-of-the-valley came to symbolise the return of happiness.

Collage of lily-of-the-valley (Convallaria majalis): top, a close-up of white, bell-shaped blooms on arching stems; below, clusters of flowers among broad green leaves. Alongside, a vintage illustration of a nightingale singing among foliage, from the book Chants d’oiseaux by E. Rambert.

My solar return chart! Happy to have Jupiter in Cancer. The 7h looks interesting with Saturn and Mars there lol also interesting to have Moon opposite Uranus.

In April fresh green growth emerges from fern plants. These curled fronds are called “fiddleheads” for their resemblance to the scroll carved at the head of a violin, shaped as a decorative spiral known as a volute. Ferns are said to bring good luck and symbolise eternal youth.

Triptych collage of close-up fern fiddleheads unfurling: three young fronds tightly coiled in soft green, their fine brown hairs catching the light. The central frond shows delicate leaflets beginning to open, set against a blurred green background.

lol drifted off while listening to an Astrology for Health workshop by Kira Sutherland and woke up as she was saying “sleep is underrated for the immune system”… as I’m currently fighting through a cold.

Tree ferns, some of the oldest plants, embody endurance and primeval times. Their unfurling fronds, known as the koru in Māori culture, symbolise new life and renewal. Long linked with magic and protection, they stand as living bridges between the ancient past and the present.

I’ve been seeing Venus so bright in the evening sky for the last week, it’s amazing. Like a single shimmering diamond in the dusk. I literally clap and say “hey, girl!” And tell her how gorgeous she is.

April’s full moon rises on 1st April 2026. It is known as the “Pink Moon”, not for its colour, but for the flowering of bright pink Phlox subulata, the creeping phlox that blooms across North America at this time of year. It is also called the Budding Moon, as spring now unfolds.

Collage of the April “Pink Moon” glowing with a pink halo, bright pink creeping phlox (Phlox subulata) in bloom, and a botanical illustration of the plant with flower and root details. The illustration of Phlox subulata is plate 185 from ‘Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse’ Vol. III by Edward Step (1897).
