Lots of changes and shifts are coming our way this week! Mercury ends its retrograde journey in Aries on April 25. The planetary moonwalk, which began on April 1, will finally be over, allowing us to understand situations clearly. The post-retrograde feels last until May 13, allowing us to understand the miscommunications that happened in the previous weeks. Action planet Mars and elusive Neptune connect in Pisces on April 29, making us feel uncertain about what the future holds. This isn’t the time to make moves but a moment to reflect on what we want to attain. Later in the day, Venus enters Taurus bringing indulgence, luxury, sensuality, and tenderness our way. Mars enters Aries on April 30, adding passion and desire for our lives.

Witch tip:

This is not a week to push matters forward. Use it as a time to implement self-care into your life. Find an activity that speaks to your soul and makes you happy, whether it be taking a walk in nature, journaling, or meditating. It’s important for you to find something that speaks to yourself at an intimate level and brings peace to your mind and heart.

Aries

You can expect an energetic shift once Mercury turns direct on April 25 and when Mars connects with your sign on April 30. Due to your newfound view on life, you’ll feel as if possibilities are endless and anything is possible. You’ll come out of your shell and exude confidence.

Taurus

You’re finding that the week ahead is bringing a lot of calming and relaxing energy to you because you are using it as a moment of reflection and implementing self-care into your daily routine. Make sure that you put yourself first to feel the amazing effects of the week ahead.

Gemini

Before you take on more than you can handle, make sure you are available for extra projects. Just because you’re being offered more work doesn’t mean it‘ll benefit you in the long run to do your best. It would help if you weren’t stressed, which means having a light load.

Cancer

With your popularity soaring, it’s time for you to connect with your friends and family. Make sure that you can have a lovely time out with them because you’re in need of positive social time that will allow you to connect with those you care about and share some laughs.

Leo

Asserting boundaries is going to be hard this week because you aren’t sure of what limits you want to set with them in order to understand what you need. It’s important for you to treat people with the respect that you want in return in order to set an example.

Virgo

You’re ambivalent about the future of your intimate partnerships. You might find that your relationships are at stalemate. The good news is that you don’t have to make a decision right now. Take your time and process how you feel in order to choose how you want to move forward.

Libra

Although you have more wind in your sail than usual, you still want to avoid overworking because you hate to feel overwhelmed. Take a pause or two in the day to meditate and unwind in order to create balance at work. This will help you find peace in the frenzy.

Scorpio

Your creativity will be on overload, allowing you to put your artistic abilities into reality. Use this week as a time to let your artistry shine and be seen. It will enable you to feel that you’re on the right track, but everyone sees your talents and doesn’t hold back.

Sagittarius

There might be some tension at home, but you don’t have to worry about it lasting for long. Remember that this is just a moment in time and that things shift and change every week. Try to be open to proceeding with kindness instead of reacting in a dramatic way.

Capricorn

It’s important to be objective in order to understand matters. Don’t jump to assumptions before you hear all the facts and are able to make an informed judgment on matters. If you don’t, you might find yourself in a very awkward situation because you are making fictitious statements a reality.

Aquarius

Practice declaring positive affirmations in front of the mirror to heighten your confidence. You might find that this makes you feel great about yourself and inspires you to take on the world. You never know what little powerful statements can bring to your life, significantly when they heighten your awesomeness.

Pisces

You’ll be lost in your emotions this week. Before you swim away and try to resolve matters independently, consider reaching out to a trusted confidant or friend to explain what is happening and what you're feeling. They’ll offer guidance and help that will inspire and motivate you to feel better.
