Retrograde Planets in April
The bar shows what part of the month each planet spends moving backward. Retrograde motion isn't a "ban" – it's a change of rhythm: the planet's theme needs more attention and a second look.
- Mercury retrograde – deadlines drift, devices act up, and agreements are worth re-reading and saying out loud twice.
Void of Course Moon in April
The void of course Moon is the gap after the Moon has made its last exact aspect in a sign and before it enters the next one. The classic rule is that whatever begins then "comes to nothing" – bad for launches, signatures and purchases, good for routine, tidying, rest and finishing off old things. This month has 14 of them, 59 hours in total, of them 1 long one (over 12 hours).
| Starts | Ends | Duration | Last aspect | Moon enters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 31 | April 1 | 3 hr 49 min | Square to Neptune | in Capricorn |
| April 3 | April 3 | 3 hr 28 min | Sextile to Neptune | in Aquarius |
| April 5 | April 5 | 5 hr 33 min | Sextile to Mercury | in Pisces |
| April 7 | April 7 | 2 hr 58 min | Conjunction to Neptune | in Aries |
| April 8 | April 9 | 8 hr 44 min | Conjunction to Mercury | in Taurus |
| April 11 | April 11 | 2 hr 55 min | Sextile to Neptune | in Gemini |
| April 13 | April 13 | 2 hr 59 min | Square to Neptune | in Cancer |
| April 15 | April 15 | 3 hr 02 min | Trine to Neptune | in Leo |
| April 18 | April 18 | 2 hr 08 min | Trine to Sun | in Virgo |
| April 20 | April 20 | 2 hr 49 min | Opposition to Neptune | in Libra |
| April 22 | April 23 | 15 hr 56 min | Opposition to Venus | in Scorpio |
| April 25 | April 25 | 2 hr 20 min | Trine to Neptune | in Sagittarius |
| April 28 | April 28 | 2 hr 07 min | Square to Neptune | in Capricorn |
| April 30 | April 30 | 0 hr 01 min | Sextile to Mars | in Aquarius |
We count the classical (Ptolemaic) aspects from the Moon to the Sun and to the planets from Mercury to Pluto. Sites that count only the seven traditional planets get longer windows – sometimes by a day or more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an astrology calendar, exactly?
It is a schedule of what happens in the sky: when planets form exact angles to each other (aspects), when they move from sign to sign, when the Moon goes through its phases, and when a planet turns retrograde. A horoscope is somebody's interpretation. An astrology calendar is the raw data those interpretations are built on.
Why don't your times match another site?
Usually it is the time zone. Many astrology sites publish in Universal Time (UT), and we show Eastern Time by default, which is 4 or 5 hours behind it. That alone can move an event to the neighbouring day. The time zone switch in the panel at the top settles it in a second.
Does an aspect work exactly at the minute you list?
That is the minute it goes exact. The effect is felt wider – usually a day before and a day after, and for slow planets, for weeks. The exact time tells you where the peak is; it is not something to set an alarm for.
What do you do with a void of course Moon?
Don't start anything that matters in that window: signings, purchases, introductions, first meetings. It is excellent time for routine, for clearing the backlog, for tidying up and for rest. The windows run from a few minutes to a full day – see the table above.
Is a retrograde planet a bad thing?
No. Retrograde motion is an optical effect: from Earth the planet appears to move backward. Astrologically it is a change of mode: the planet's theme works inward and backward instead of forward. The only bad move is pushing hard at something that has no tailwind right now.
Where do these numbers come from?
We calculate the dates from the NASA JPL ephemerides JPL DE440. There is more about the sources and the checks on the methodology page.

Where else to look
The wheel uses the tropical zodiac, 0° Aries on the left, signs running counterclockwise. The lines in the middle are the exact angles between planets at that moment.
