Horoscope for the week April 17—23, 2023

The horoscope for the week from April 17 to April 23, 2023, has a lot of surprises in store for us, which are especially pronounced on April 20. On Thursday, we will have a rare second new moon in Aries, which in itself happens very rarely. However, that's not even half the story, and here's the thing. The new moon in the sign of Aries on April 20 will occur at the 29th degree of this zodiac sign, which is considered a karmically completed aspect. This position even has its own name: "anaretic degree", the position of the planet in which it is ready to leave the sign of the zodiac. But the main thing is that the events and situations that have arisen in this new moon cycle have a kind of "immutable" status. In other words, they are mandatory, whether you like it or not. Interestingly, the first impetus for these events and changes was given on March 21, when the first new moon appeared in Aries, so looking back, you can even understand in which direction the wind will blow in the near future. And although it is customary to measure the main period following the new moon, during which new winds arise, it is customary to measure two weeks, the entire cycle lasts until the next full moon in the same sign. In our case, the full moon in Aries will occur on September 29, 2023, which means that the current story is far from over.

If the double new moon is not enough for you to believe that this week will be key in the coming transformations, then here's another thing for you to think about. In addition to the new moon, there will be a solar eclipse on April 20, also in the sign of Aries, designed to spur actual transformations. Oddly enough, this eclipse will also be unusual! This will be the first eclipse in a new cycle of solar eclipses that will take place on the Aries-Libra axis until 2025. This already gives us a two-year cycle during which the trends that are happening in front of you this week will develop!

Horoscope: What keeps you awake at night

Oddly enough, after such a promising start, the next day, April 21, we are waiting for the beginning of the retrograde period of Mercury, which, to some extent, will slow down the development of future changes. Is it good or bad? Much depends on the personal situation of each person, but in general, it will do us good, at least because it will allow us to think about the future before the universe stuns us with its surprises.
