April 23/24: The Sun and M33 boost productivity; Venus opposite Omega Centauri brings emotional and sexual freedom, while Jupiter and M21 stimulate travel and mental exploration

April 23/24: The Sun is conjunct M33, a neighboring galaxy with a giant star-making region. This is a hydrogen cloud of about 15.000 years long! This means that, at least in the next 24 hours, the week can acquire a very creative and productive nuance.

The mix of Mercury and Jupiter is excellent for short or long trips, especially when Jupiter is in contra parallel to M21, a very young custer that stimulates curiosity and exploration, with its stars of types B and A. M21 is also excellent for teaching, studying and promoting, so the day is good for intellectual activities that explore areas unknown to us ... until now.
