About this episode
In episode 297 of the podcast astrologers Kelly Surtees, Austin Coppock, and Chris Brennan look at the astrological forecast for April 2021. The astrology of April features a shift of inner planets into the fire sign Aries, where Mars went retrograde in the second half of last year, as well as a New Moon in the same sign. The later part of the month features a shift of planets into the earth sign Taurus where they meet up with Uranus, as well as Mars moving from Gemini into Cancer, and a Full Moon in Scorpio. We spend the first 90 minutes talking about the April forecast, and then discuss some miscellaneous topics like how astrologers process after doing a consultation, and The Astrology Podcast celebrating 300 episodes.
