A week of trials and inspiration: astrological forecast for April 28 – May 5
Kyiv • UNN
Tension eases, but calm is important due to the Tau-square. Venus, Neptune and the small parade of planets create opportunities for inspiration, love and creativity.

This week the tension of the Grand Cross is weakening, but the tension due to the Tau-square remains. The week requires calmness, harmony and faith in the best. What awaits representatives of all signs of the Zodiac - especially for readers UNN told professional astrologer Ksenia Bazilenko.
Continuation of the influence of the Grand Cross
As the astrologer noted, last week we observed the active action of one of the most tense astrological configurations - the Grand Cross, in which the Sun, Mars, Pluto and the Black Moon participated.
This aspect caused serious changes in both the political and natural spheres.
This week, the Sun leaves the zone of the Grand Cross, and the Cross itself disintegrates. However, the tension does not completely disappear: a rigid Tau-square formed by Mars, Pluto and the Black Moon remains in the sky.
Mars and Pluto continue to be in opposition, and the Black Moon forms a quadrature to them.
This combination may increase the likelihood of military conflicts, social upheavals, and also increases the risk of natural disasters, especially earthquakes
Recommendation:
This week, it is especially important to be careful, avoid extreme sports, risky situations, and most importantly - to maintain inner peace and avoid aggression in relationships with others, Bazilenko urged.
The influence of the Moon and the strengthening of the Tau-square
Bazilenko urges to pay attention to the weekend: on Sunday, May 4, the Moon will connect with Mars, which will significantly strengthen the effect of the Tau-square.
This is an aspect of increased emotionality, irritability, a tendency to impulsive actions and conflicts.
Recommendation:
Spend the weekend in the most relaxed atmosphere, pay attention to rest, solitude and restoration of inner harmony.
Stationary Pluto: the moment of turn
Throughout the week, Pluto will be stationary, preparing to begin retrograde motion on May 4.
Stationary Pluto increases the tension:
- hidden processes are aggravated;
- a feeling of internal pressure arises;
- important events related to the destruction of the old and the laying of new foundations are possible.
Recommendation:
Protect psychoemotional health, avoid manipulation and do not start important major projects until the energy stabilizes.
Bright energies: Venus, Neptune and a small parade of planets
Despite the overall tension, the week also brings positive opportunities thanks to the cluster of planets on the border of Pisces and Aries:
Venus, Saturn, Neptune and the Ascending Node (Rahu) form a small parade of planets,
They create harmonious aspects with Uranus.
These energies support:
- spiritual development;
- manifestation of love and care;
- creative inspiration and inner discoveries.
Important transits of Venus
April 30: Venus moves from sensitive Pisces to fiery Aries.
Our emotions will become brighter, more passionate, more dynamic. The desire for love, active expression of feelings and more active financial enrichment will increase
May 2: The exact conjunction of Venus and Neptune in Aries. The last time such a conjunction in the sign of Aries occurred in 1874, which makes this day special.
This is a very powerful day for:
- romantic meetings and confessions;
- creative breakthroughs;
- opportunities for financial growth (especially through inspiration, creativity and non-standard solutions).
Important:
Be careful: on this day it is easy to fall under the influence of illusions in love or money. Leave room for reason along with emotions.
6. Rhythms of the Moon: day after day
On April 28 and until 9 am on April 29, the Moon will be in the sign of Taurus, which is harmonious for it. On the night of April 28 to 29, it will be in exact conjunction with Uranus, which can give prophetic dreams or, on the contrary, insomnia.
April 29–30: Moon in Gemini — a great time for communication, learning, new contacts.
April 29 is a particularly favorable day: the Moon in excellent aspects, which opens up space for bright ideas and unusual acquaintances.
May 1–3 (until noon): Moon in Cancer — the mood becomes more homely, emotional.
A great time to take care of your family, solitude, and restore strength.
May 3 (after lunch) – May 5: Moon in Leo — the emotional background heats up, the desire for recognition and power increases.
The night of May 3 to 4 will be especially tense due to the connection of the Moon with Mars and the strengthening of the Tau-square.
Conclusion of the week
This week, the influence of destructive energies continues, especially due to the persistent Tau-square and stationary Pluto.
The culmination of tension is expected on the weekend.
But!
The support of Venus, Neptune and a small parade of planets creates a window for inspiration, love and creative breakthrough.

- calm;
