The week ahead is full of compassion, consideration, and fortitude. Mercury aligns with the North Node of Destiny in Taurus on April 23, which is the same day that the Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius occurs. This cosmic energy will help us make necessary changes that are part of our personal goals and hopes. The next day, Mercury connects with Saturn in Aquarius and Neptune in Pisces, allowing us to get lost in our visions and sentiments. Venus in Pisces harmonizes with the Nodes of Destiny on April 25, presenting fated romantic and tender opportunities.

WITCH TIP:

Before you opt to hold onto a lot of negative sentiments that have been weighing on your shoulders and heart, consider letting them go under April 23’s Last Quarter Moon. This meditative focus is simple and effective. Focus on your breathing, take a deep breath in and out, and with each exhale envision resentments, issues, and toxic emotions being removed from your body and auric field. This should be done as a conscious practice, not a quick fix. You don’t have to hold onto anything that isn’t serving your higher purpose. Releasing and letting go will not only make you feel energetically better, but it will also give you the capacity to let more love and positivity into your life.

Aries

This can be a trying time for you if you do not see matters clearly. As you know, certain situations can start competitions amongst your peer group by creating conflict with others in everyone’s need to attain a top position. Remember, true greatness is found within and not anywhere else.

Taurus

If you have been feeling under-appreciated recently, this week will bring you back into your true self by connecting you with your personal power. The moment you are able to see your value and worth is the time when you will become stronger and able to set boundaries with others.

Gemini

Use positive words to help others understand your feelings. If that doesn’t work, try visualizing an invisible energy field separating yourself from them, protecting you from their negativity in an effort to properly assert your sentiments. Choosing kindness and sincerity is the only way to get your voice heard clearly.

Cancer

You are more aligned with the cosmic forces than ever. Your intuition is guiding you toward making amazing decisions about the direction of your career and life. Listen to what you’re being pushed to do, rather than what logic or convention tells you to attain your personal passions and desires.

Leo

We can get so caught up in our daily activities sometimes that we forget to show the people in our lives that we care deeply for them. If you can think of other small gestures that someone in your life would appreciate, try making this a regular activity for yourself.

Virgo

Last week, you were fixated on situations involving other people and forgot about your own personal obligations. This week calls for you to deal with a lot of ongoing issues in your mundane life that have been pushed to the side. Focus on your needs — not other people’s issues.

Libra

You say you want a revolution? Well, Libra, here you go! The week brings swift growth to your humanitarian goals, urging you to give your time unselfishly to others. Known for your generous tendencies and desire to be kind, you are inclined to help the collective, rather than just yourself.

Scorpio

You are wanting to embrace and create the new, unique version of yourself, who opposes convention and past beliefs. As you evolve, you’ll want to rage against authority, breaking down old structures in place of new. Be a rebel and create the life that you desire with your own rules.

Sagittarius

This week you are apt and wanting to keep to yourself, rather than let others into your personal world who are wanting to make snide remarks about your lifestyle. The reason being is that you’re quite fond of not having judgments from others and prefer chill vibes over unnecessary commentary.

Capricorn

Because of your suave moves and savviness, others may express their previously hidden resentments towards you. In true form, you’ll opt to ignore the haters and use it as inspiration to develop your new goals without caring about who is jealous. Envy is caused from their insecurities — not yours.

Aquarius

Personal growth means that you are able to address areas of your world that aren’t working a certain way and transform them into properly functioning areas of life. Change is hard and won’t happen over night. But, the dedication to grow will propel you into transforming at your own pace.

Pisces

Known for your artistry and creativity, you are noticing that people are finally paying attention to your visions and insights. Your popularity and fandom is growing, allowing you to assert your views to the public with ease and power, knowing they are listening to your standpoints with consideration and respect.
