WITCHTIPS

Mercury is still lingering in its post-retrograde shadow, causing confusion and paranoia to consume our minds. This week aims to give us all clarity on how to move past such bewildering Mercurial mindsets.

April 3rd brings a wonderful opportunity to spiritually grow, as planet action Mars, who is breezing by in chatty Gemini, opts to talk with healing asteroid Chiron, who is fired up in impulsive Aries. When these two meet in the sky, they will converse about the best methods needed to heal the past.

The following day, Pluto aligns with the South Node of Destiny in Capricorn, just as Saturn runs parallel to Pluto, producing metaphoric and strategic changes around the structures we have within. Pluto aims to break down walls and rebuild them stronger than ever, while the South Node wants to hold us back. This aspect pays tribute to past life karma, and will keep us stuck in the former if we do not opt to let go. The last time Pluto connected with the South Node was 17 years ago in the sign of Sagittarius. Think back to 2002 and note what metamorphic changes took place. This week is the next piece of the puzzle—the next step toward personal evolution.

The Aries New Moon occurs on April 5th, giving us all one more push to knock down the barriers and roadblocks holding us back. This New Moon serves as motivation to harvest our dream. We will be cosmically pushed to the spark within and look toward the future with hope.

Mercury, who is still swimming in the post-retrograde show in tender Pisces, whispers soft sentiments to austere Saturn, who is in practical Capricorn, on the 7th. This is the third and final time these two planets hook up during the season (the first time was February 19th, when Mercury entered its pre-retrograde zone and March 20th during the actual retrograde). We all have one more chance to put our plans into action and implement our dreams into reality. Mercury aspects the Nodes of Destiny on the 9th, giving action around manifesting such desires.

Personal transformation forces us to look deep within ourselves, which can cause pain and anxiety to manifest as a result. This is why most people accept societal changes, but not personal growth. Allowing ourselves to learn from the past and change personal mindsets takes work. Ridding oneself of insecurities can take a lifetime. The work involved to become person we desire is not easy. But, it’s essential for our inner evolution. We all want to transcend and become better people in order to understand ourselves and the world around us. We all want to be happy, no matter the cost. The lesson of this week is to look within ourselves for change and contentment. Learning to embrace our personal flaws and work with ourselves will allow us to grow. Self-acceptance is the first step toward transformation.
