4th April, A Conversation Worth Noting: Mars, Saturn and Uranus

A soft turning point in the sky

Today we have a gentle triangle of support in the sky - what astrologers call a Minor Grand Trine - a nice conversation where three planets form a beneficial triangle, made up of one trine (an expansive 120° connection) and two sextiles (friendly and loving 60° links). These are the kindest kinds of conversations the Gods can have - cooperative, creative, quietly powerful.

At the heart of it all, we have Mars in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces forming their final trine for a while, and last while Saturn is in Pisces, a gentle closing of a story that began back in September 24. They’re joined now by Uranus in Taurus, who acts like a spark of electricity, bringing fresh insight, a new way forward, a door gently swinging open.

This isn’t a loud or dramatic moment, but it’s important. It’s the kind of sky that helps us do the thing we’ve been thinking about or working toward. Where once it felt like a dream, now it simply feels possible. Like you’ve grown into it.

Final Lessons from the Deep: Mars, Saturn & a Gift from Uranus 

Today the sky offers a rare blend of grace and grit. This triangle in the sky suggests we’re being offered an opportunity to integrate what we’ve learned. Both Mars and Saturn have been travelling through water signs (Cancer and Pisces), asking us to take action not from impulse, but from a place of feeling. From intuition. From the heart.

It’s the final moment in a story that began last September when Mars and Saturn first formed a trine, a moment full of hope, purpose, and vision. Then Mars turned retrograde, and what felt promising may have stalled or even disappeared.

But now, the way forward is opening again.

This is astrology’s version of focused magic. As if the stars are saying: “Now that you’ve done the inner work, you’re ready for the outer steps.”

Mars and Saturn together in a positive conversation speak of disciplined action - deliberate, determined energy. The capacity to stay the course, to keep showing up, to complete what we began even when the road gets hard. These two aren’t here for quick wins, they’re here for real progress, the kind you earn.

And then Uranus steps in like a breath of fresh air. The God of liberation, invention, and insight offers freedom from old resentments, new ways of seeing old problems, and a gift for facing challenges head-on until solutions rise from within.

This trio together evokes what Renn Butler beautifully described as:

"A capacity to actively hold tension within one’s being until a resolution presents itself."

That might be exactly what’s happening now. What’s been stuck, heavy, or unclear may begin to shift, not with chaos, but with a kind of solid, grounded spark.

You may realise, too, that the future isn’t fixed. That you are not trapped by old choices or timelines. The astrology now supports the interplay of freedom and probability, your effort, your vision, your persistence do matter. But there’s a little magic riding with you too.

And now, with the help of Uranus in Taurus, we might just find a way to do things differently. To build something new from what we’ve learned. Even if it's small. Even if it’s just a change in mindset.

✨ What if discipline could be gentle?

✨ What if strength came from softness?

✨ What if the way forward is not through pushing, but through trusting?

Today’s sky says: the tools you’ve built over these past few months - your patience, your resilience, your emotional clarity - can now be used. Creatively. Practically. Wisely.

Take a breath. Take a step. And if inspiration strikes, follow it, it’s probably Uranus whispering “go on, give it a try…”

If life has felt like hard emotional work since December, especially around boundaries, effort, or purpose, you might just notice something shifting now.

For me, this is happening across my 6th, 8th and 10th houses. Just last night, I did a reading at Essential Therapies and it felt normal. Like it’s just what I do. Not in a boring way, in a grounded, embodied way. I felt comfortable asking for payment, confident in what I offered, and grateful that something I only dreamed of a few months ago is now part of my everyday life. This is what today’s sky feels like. Like you’re settling into the shape of the life you’ve been building, without even noticing how much has changed.

Now it’s your turn to take note and feel into what may be shifting for you. Here’s where this gentle but powerful energy is showing up according to your rising sign:

✨ Aries Rising – 12th (Saturn), 4th (Mars), 2nd (Uranus)

You’re learning to trust the quieter parts of yourself—your inner world, your past, your worth. What needs to be released so you can feel safe and supported from within?

✨ Taurus Rising – 11th (Saturn), 3rd (Mars), 1st (Uranus)

Something is shifting in how you connect and communicate. You're stepping more confidently into your truth—your voice has weight now. How has your sense of self evolved?

✨ Gemini Rising – 10th (Saturn), 2nd (Mars), 12th (Uranus)

Career and value are in focus. You’ve worked hard behind the scenes—and now it’s time to own your worth. What dream are you ready to bring into the real world?

✨ Cancer Rising – 9th (Saturn), 1st (Mars), 11th (Uranus)

You’re being called to live your truth. Your energy is returning, and you’re ready to step out more fully into the world. What belief is shaping your next chapter?

✨ Leo Rising – 8th (Saturn), 12th (Mars), 10th (Uranus)

You’ve been doing deep emotional work—maybe privately, maybe painfully. But something in your public life is shifting. What truth are you ready to embody?

✨ Virgo Rising – 7th (Saturn), 11th (Mars), 9th (Uranus)

Relationships, community, and vision. You’re refining how you relate and connect, and your long-term dreams are becoming clearer. What does freedom mean to you now?

✨ Libra Rising – 6th (Saturn), 10th (Mars), 8th (Uranus)

This is real-world integration time. Your work, your purpose, your healing—all of it’s coming together. What have you outgrown? And what are you finally ready to do?

✨ Scorpio Rising – 5th (Saturn), 9th (Mars), 7th (Uranus)

Love, learning, and relationship breakthroughs. This is about courageously creating something new—and letting others truly see you. Where are you being called to grow?

✨ Sagittarius Rising – 4th (Saturn), 8th (Mars), 6th (Uranus)

The deeper roots are shifting. You’re healing the past, transforming emotion into fuel, and reworking how you care for your body and your life. What are you building now?

✨ Capricorn Rising – 3rd (Saturn), 7th (Mars), 5th (Uranus)

A season of real conversations and brave vulnerability. You’re learning new ways to relate, express, and love. What wants to be said—and what wants to be created?

✨ Aquarius Rising – 2nd (Saturn), 6th (Mars), 4th (Uranus)

Practical magic. You’re anchoring into routines that support your value and nurture your home life. How are your priorities changing?

✨ Pisces Rising – 1st (Saturn), 5th (Mars), 3rd (Uranus)

This is personal. You’re growing into yourself, finding your voice, and learning how to love and lead from the heart. What’s calling to be expressed?

Wherever this lands for you, today’s energy reminds us:

We don’t always need a big moment.

Sometimes growth looks like comfort. Like ease. Like finally being able to do the thing that once felt out of reach.

What’s quietly settling into place in your life right now?

What used to feel like a dream, but now just feels natural?
