WITCH TIPS

The week ahead has it’s irritating moments, but overall is an amazing time to manifest our hopes. Our dreams can become reality this weekend if we give them TLC and set intentions for our future. Mercury in Aries harmonizes with Saturn in Aquarius on April 7 and Mars in Aquarius on April 8, giving the authority and power of our words. The Nodes of Destiny link up with Jupiter on April 8 and squares Saturn on August 11, urging us to make fated decisions around long-term commitments. The First Quarter Moon in Cancer occurs on April 9, aiming to open us up to new possibilities. Mercury squares Pluto in Capricorn before entering Taurus on April 10. This can bring frustrations and resentment to ahead, as well as make us stubborn in how we react. Tread lightly with the amount of energy that you want to give others on the 10th. It may be best to avoid confrontation and to focus your energy elsewhere or on yourself. The Aries Sun and Saturn mesh on April 12, creating structure in our lives and goals. Jupiter and Neptune align in Pisces on April 12, the first time these planets have connected in this sign since 1856, making it an extremely auspicious day to make our dreams a reality.

It’s time to clear and center the energy around us to bring in newness. A bath with mint leaves, lavender, rosemary, a few splashes of Florida water, and Epsom or Himalayan sea salt can help open up the energy during the First Quarter Moon on April 9 to bring in opportunities and abundance. Boil these ingredients together, then drain the pot. Use the water once it’s cooled down and at room temperature to pot over your shoulders in the shower or in the bath. Meditate on what you want to bring into your life while doing this.

Aries

Has money, fame, and acclaim been on your mind recently? Try using your creative ingenuity and fiery gusto for cooking up a new side hustle. This week is a great time for digging deep and making future plans that can benefit your future professional aspirations, as well as your wallet.

Taurus

Currently, you feel centered helping your local community. Whether it be by addressing local political issues or helping out a neighbor, you will find solace in giving back to your neighborhood. As a sensitive, compassionate, and empathetic zodiac sign, it’ll warm your heart to give without expecting anything in return.

Gemini

You’re great at categorizing relationships. However, this week, you are beginning to realize that personal connections aren’t cut and dry. Leave way for emotions and sentimentality in the interpersonal relationships that you have to ensure that you are not being too austere in how you handle your treatment of others.

Cancer

You are committing to your new professional vision this week. Even if you are feeling a little lost in the fog and Neptunian haze, you’ll eventually find the answer to your personal quandaries later on. Have faith in yourself and all that you do in order to reap amazing benefits.

Leo

Before you react to situations that aren’t going your way, it’s imperative for you to take a step back and to assess the matter from a clear perspective. Hindsight is 20/20, which is why your reaction will be too intense unless you discuss it from a relaxed and calm place.

Virgo

We all have moments in which we question the direction of our lives. While you may have a few existential moments, try to keep focused on the amazing and wonderful things that you do. A good perspective can lift your spirits and make you feel better about your day-to-day life.

Libra

Amazing personal and professional shifts are happening, but with a cost. Watch out for burnout and exhaustion, as you’re giving your all to everyone and everything. If need be, take time for rest and relaxation to decompress for a few hours before continuing to put the pedal to the metal.

Scorpio

Use affirming words in helping others understand you. The more good energy you give to expressing yourself, the easier it will be to have amazing feedback from others. That way you can have a conversation without anyone projecting their sentiments into the matter and subject. And, a resolution can happen.

Sagittarius

A passion project is finally coming to fruition. Before you start promoting it, try to find inventive and nuanced ways to let it be seen. That way you can show off your amazing talents and artistry through a novel perspective that has not been done before, guaranteeing your creative status.

Capricorn

Life is a series of compromises. Understand that you can’t fully win at every endeavor and that you must find a middle ground in order to make things happen. Keep an open perspective and mind throughout the week to ensure that you are able to get projects off the ground.

Aquarius

Lately, you’ve been focusing on the negatives and not on the positives in your life. The truth is that the good outweighs the bad. Therefore, it is time for you to take stock of all the amazing things you have going on. Start looking at the glass as half full.

Pisces

You are giving too much time to situations and people who aren’t reciprocating the energy. The problem is that they are becoming more of a burden than anything else to your emotional well-being, which is why it’s time to set very strict boundaries with them and focus solely on you.
