This week’s celestial energy is intense, which is why it’s important to take time for ourselves to center the energies at play. This will help us navigate through the tense cosmic vibes with ease. Venus enters Taurus on April 14th, adding sensuality and tenderness to romantic partnerships. The Aries Sun harmonizes with Jupiter, who’s in Aquarius, on April 15th and creates optimistic growth. Jupiter connects with both Mercury, who’s in Aries, and Mars, who’s in Gemini (then Mercury and Mars aspect each other) on the 17th. Mercury squares Pluto, who’s in Capricorn, on April 17th as well. This will create a lot of drama resulting from impetuous communication. Therefore, it’s important to use your words wisely. The Sun and Mercury link up in Aries on the 18th, giving us the opportunity to speak our minds. The Sun and Mercury enter Taurus on April 19th, shifting the fiery energy to a calmer vibe in time for the First Quarter Moon in Leo on April 20th.

Aries

You are taking your power back by expressing your unfiltered sentiments to others. Rather than holding back, you’ll want to speak your mind and emotions. It’ll create a healthier dynamic with friends and family. The only advice is to think before you talk to avoid conflict from your impulsive words.

Taurus

Self-care is something that you need to implement into your daily routine, rather than just thinking or dreaming about it. Give yourself the love that you deserve by treating yourself to a week of rest and relaxation. If you’re able to take a bath, it’ll help to calm your worries.

Gemini

Although you’ve been talking and planning about the next steps that you need to take in order to achieve your goals, it may not be the right time to move towards them. You don’t have to fully abandon them, even by putting them on the back burner. Revise them now.

Cancer

Before taking on more than you can chew and do, make sure that your schedule permits this. Avoid the drama and stress of being over-consumed with work and mundane tasks. Let yourself have fun and relax, instead of worrying about completing all of the errands and tasks on your schedule.

Leo

Taking the high road can be challenging, especially when you are emotionally invested. The lesson is that there is no right or wrong. Conflicts often arise, which can easily be worked out. Leading with the heart instead of the mind will help you squash situations before they reach great heights.

Virgo

Setting boundaries is an essential part of every relationship, even the one with yourself. Draw a line in the sand to ensure that no one’s energy leaks over to your side and affects your vibe. As long as you focus on your needs, you’ll be able to find balance within.

Libra

A seemingly good investment has suddenly landed in your lap, making you consider taking the offer and taking the deal by signing a contract. Be forewarned: All that glitters may not be gold. Make deals and negotiations with care. Read contracts with caution to avoid mishaps or misunderstandings down the road.

Scorpio

Instead of trying to control matters, learn to go with the flow. This will save you a lot of aggravation down the road, as you’ll be able to have a calmer attitude and vibe. Focus your energies on self-care and enjoying the fruits of your labors, rather than manage them.

Sagittarius

Creativity is calling to you, urging you to bring your talents to the public for the world to see. Don’t be shy in letting people gaze at your talents or fearful of what others think. Show off your artistic side and allow yourself to be at the center of everything.

Capricorn

Your life can be transformed by love, mostly by the making of love that you give to yourself. Don’t deny yourself the care and fondness that you need. Give yourself more gentleness than usual to ensure that you are able to navigate through hard decisions that you have to make.

Aquarius

Oftentimes, when you are upset you let it sit within yourself. This week, you could reach your boiling point and the hot water will bubble over onto the stove. Before reacting and acting out, allow yourself to simmer down and cool off in an effort to avoid conflict and arguments.

Pisces

Giving 100% of your energy to others can leave your loving cup feeling energetically depleted. Make sure that you have a lot to give before freely pouring your tender loving care into the cups of others from your fountain of wealth. This will ensure that you are receiving affection too.
