ARIES
On the 3rd of the month Mercury enters Taurus and joins North node, Uranus
and Venus in your second house of finances, wealth, abundance, self-worth,
talents, gifts, self-sufficiency, budget, incomes, earnings, possessions, how you
do money and how you earn money, savings and spendings, purchases,
self-validations and priorities. Venus is here in her own sign until the 11th of April
while Mercury will be here longer than usual due to its retrograde motion that
begins on the 21st of April. You can expect a lot of sudden and unexpected
financial opportunities. Something good and positive can happen with your
finances during this month and later when Mercury stations retrograde you will
have time to review and reconsider some of your financial decisions, some of
your priorities, your gifts and talents and how you can monetize them, and how
you can cash in your capacities and abilities in a more sustainable and valuable
way. Mercury is retrograde until 15th of May. Mercury here can bring you
business conversations and business deals, job opportunities, opportunities for
improving your finances and for feeling abundant, not necessarily financially
abundant, but abundant in life, abundant in how you live and experience life and
then material abundance aligns itself with you too.
On the 6th of April there’s a Full Moon in your opposite sign of Libra and this
triggers your relationships. This illuminates your one-on-one relationships and
asks you to have a closer look at your relationships dynamic. You will have to pay
more attention to a certain relationship. You may have to be more committed or
you may be signing some documents, making things official in a certain
partnership whether it is social, intimate or business partnership. Something
needs to be seen in your close personal relationship, something culminates in
your relationships, things come to a head between you and somebody perhaps,
or things come to a fruition. Full Moons can bring drama, completions, endings,
fulfillments and culminations. Something needs to be resolved in your
relationships. This is a time for fairness, equality, justice, commitments, pairing
up, connecting with a significant person, finding a counselor, a lawyer, a doctor, a
therapist, a trainer, a psychologist, a dentist, an assistant, a friend, a lover, a
partner, whoever with whom you have one-on-one relationships with. This Full
Moon opposes you and it shows you your reflections and projections and since
there’s so much going on in your sign this month, this will have a huge effect on
your relationship with yourself and on your behavior, your physical wellbeing and
your physical appearance.
On the 11th of April Venus enters Gemini and highlights your third house of
everyday communications, connections, siblings, relatives, neighbors, short trips,
local trips, studying, learning, teaching, sharing information, news and messages.
Having Venus here is beautiful for you and you will be able to use your intellect in
a very valuable way. Venus is here to bring you beautiful messages and
conversations and for those of you who are single, possible new love interests
through your social interactions, through short trips, through networking, through
classes or skills that you’re learning and developing perhaps. This can also be
something very positive and lucky for you, lucky opportunities for you to learn
something, to master your skills, to launch something in areas of social media,
social interactions and group activities. You are going to enjoy your time with
others, enjoy social activities and connections with your brothers and sisters. You
can expect good news from your brothers and sisters or good news about them
or about those who feel like your brothers and sisters. Your words can have a
very uplifting and empowering effect on others and you can pour love into others
by words you’re using. Venus will be here until 7th of May.
On the same day when Venus enters Gemini, you have one brilliant aspect
happening in your sign and that’s Sun conjunct Jupiter. This is truly an amazing,
powerful and strong energy for you. Sun is exalted in your sign and Jupiter also
feels very good here and when they’re together, this brings a strong and powerful
energy, powerful events, great power to do things, to take risks, to achieve things
you want. You may be more popular during this time, more wanted, more
powerful on many levels. Some planted seeds can bloom in beautiful fruits and
flowers during this time but you can also plant many seeds now that are about to
sprout in the future. This is a lucky and beneficial energy, incredible energy for
you. Expect positive vibes and connections around the time of the 11th.
And then on the 20th of April, a huge event for you dear Aries, a New Moon Solar
Eclipse in your sign, the first Eclipse of 2023. It marks the beginning of new
cycles and a new Eclipse series that is not yet strong, but it’s just taking a leap
now. Even though Moon’s nodes are still in Taurus and Scorpio, there’s Eclipse
now in your sign because it happens at the very end of the sign, the very last
degrees of your sign while the North node is still in Taurus. So, there are still
things to be finished with the previous Eclipse series that happens in the
Taurus/Scorpio axis, but you will also experience the beginning of a new cycle
with the Eclipse in your sign. Eclipses are life-changing events. They are times of
big transitions and transformation, huge changes, big endings and beginnings
and this is especially strong when happening in your sign because it affects you
personally and directly. The last time this series of Eclipses was active was back
between the beginning of 2004 and the beginning of 2006. But it was also active
between the end of 2013, and the beginning of 2016. You probably experienced
huge changes in your relationships, huge changes in your identity and
personality, in your physical appearance, in how you look, in how you behave, in
your physical health and your personality. Now you’re starting another cycle of
transformations that have the same storyline but of course nothing will happen in
the same way. Lessons that are left unlearned from that period of time will come
back now to be acknowledged, learned and understood. You also have Jupiter in
your sign until the middle of May, Chiron is in your sign, the Sun is also here
during this Eclipse and there’s so much energy in your first house so you are
advised to be careful. Take care of your body. Take care of possible incidents or
injuries, don’t go wild around these days. Take care of yourself, your health, your
body, your head. Anger may be triggered too. Your ruler and the ruler of this
Eclipse Mars is in Cancer in your fourth house and this can trigger some family
drama or emotional insecurities. Eclipses are intense events, but they are also
very liberating and awakening. They bring and take things that are inevitable to
be brought or to be taken. The effect of Eclipse is not active only now around this
date but their effect is felt strongly for weeks and months before and after they
happen. Let life show you and direct you in the right way. Let the Universe guide
you. Don’t resist and reject changes. This Eclipse triggers a new series of
Eclipses that will be happening in Aries/Libra and this will strongly affect your
relationships, your marriage, your partnerships, your friendships, your
commitments and all your one on one relationships. Karmic events and karmic
connections and disconnections are definitely going to be very strong in the next
two years while these series of Eclipses are active and running.
On the same day of this Eclipse, only four hours later, the Sun enters Taurus and
joins the party in your second house and shines the light on your everyday
finances, budget, money, savings, spendings, your gifts and talents, your abilities
and capacities, your priorities and your possessions. You will have a lot to work
on when it comes to your financial situation. You will experience great
improvements in your finances and this is all initiated greatly for you this month
and it will be active in the next month too, especially when Jupiter enters Taurus
and stays there for the whole year. These are new financial and material cycles
for you but this is not only about the money of course, this is about how you
value yourself, how you value your gifts and talents, your time and energy, your
work and efforts. You will be able to provide yourself greater comfort but you will
be asked to take care of possible overindulgence or overspending too.
Mars is in Cancer this whole month and Mars doesn’t really feel great in Cancer
but of course it can be used in a powerful way if you know how to deal with it.
Mars in Cancer can make you more emotionally reactive when it comes to your
home and family matters, when it comes to your inner child woundedness, when
it comes to your emotional insecurity. Emotional awareness is what you’re
looking for but Mars can be pretty angry in Cancer. Mars cannot express its
energy in a way it’s used to while in Cancer, so you will have to find other ways of
expressing your active energy this month, especially in your home, with your
family, with your loved ones. You may be obsessed with things in your home, with
your house, or with your family. Take it easy and dive deeper into your emotional
center. Let this Mars in Cancer teach you about the depth of your emotions,
teach you about the depth of energy that you carry. You may be too protective
towards others or too self-defensive. Anger management may be a theme for
you. Anger is not bad. It is bad when it is suppressed, but it is also bad when it is
projected onto others and expressed in an ugly way towards others, when it’s
hurting others. On the 27th of April, your ruler Mars squares Chiron in your sign
and this can trigger some old wounds of identity and it also triggers another cycle
of healing those wounds and vulnerabilities.
You are invited to show your greatest abilities, gifts and talents. You are initiated
into new stories, new chapters, new karmic imprints, and you’re going to rewrite
some of your stories, your lessons and your traumas. You’re on to something
precious. You’re on the soul’s journey that unfolds continuously throughout your
whole life and you can never lose, you can never fail, you can never miss the
mission of being you. Have this on your mind and in your heart and don’t be
afraid of any change, don’t be afraid of any failure, don’t be afraid of any
projection.
How the New Moon Solar Eclipse in April will influence Aries
Dear Aries, this New Moon is not a regular New Moon. It is a Solar Eclipse New
Moon and it happens in your sign and this is the second New Moon in a row.
Previous one happened on the 21st of March at the very beginning of the sign
and this one happens at the very end of the sign. This is not a typical Eclipse
either. This is a very unusual energy and it has a lot of mystical atmosphere, a lot
of intriguing vibes. The spotlight is on you again. All eyes are on you since last
month. Eclipses are times of huge shifts and life-changing events and situations.
Eclipses are trajectory events, big transformations, karmic cleanings and
decluttering. This is the first Eclipse in 2023, and it marks the beginning of a new
Eclipse cycle that will be active in the Aries/Libra axis. This affects you directly,
this is very special for you and it also triggers the period of time between the
beginning of 2004, and the beginning of 2006, and also the period of time
between the end of 2013, and the beginning of 2016. Think back to this period,
see what big changes and shifts were happening then, especially in your
relationships, in your one-on-one connections, in your partnerships, in your
personality and identity, your behavior. You’ve been going through big personality
transformations in these periods and some lessons that you haven’t learned
during that time can become active again. This New Moon Eclipse happens in
your sign and even though this is New Moon, it will have a vibe of endings and
closures maybe. This is the very last degree of a sign and it’s the second New
Moon in a row so it has a very profound effect on you, a very deepening impact
on your physical appearance, on how you present yourself, how you want to be
seen by the world, how you want to be perceived by others. This affects your
health too, your image, your style, just as the previous New Moon, but there is a
difference. This one is Eclipse and it has more intensity and a possible dramatic
atmosphere. It is on anaretic degree, the last degree and it may reveal something
to you. It may also start delivering to you something you’ve initiated around the
time of the New Moon that happened in March. This is a rebirthing energy,
recycling energy, energy that gives you a lot of new opportunities for growth. This
is a testing and challenging energy too. Expect inevitable personal changes.
Jupiter is still here until the middle of May. The Sun and the Moon are at the very
last degrees of your sign squaring Pluto at the very first degrees of Aquarius in
your eleventh house of communities, groups of people, networking, social circles,
friendships. You may feel provoked by someone now. You may feel as if
someone wants to dominate you and this can trigger emotional reactions now.
Ruler of this New Moon is also your ruler Mars and Mars is in Cancer where he
doesn’t really feel comfortable. This can also bring you some tensions with family
members or with things related to your home or real estate. This Eclipse triggers
a new series of Eclipses that start in the Aries/Libra axis and this is just the
beginning of the story. You will have to work on yourself and to change things in
your personal life that are not serving you anymore. You will have to become
your best friend. You will have to start starving negations of the self and start
feeding the affirmation of who you are, not of who you are as personality, but who
you are in your heart. You are asked to starve all desires that are not serving the
best in you and to show your best qualities in the hardest of times, not because
you want to be perceived as a good person, but because you have a burning
desire to meet yourself.
This card represents light that guides you and redirects you and puts you on the
right track. This card represents the light of the stars that resides in all of us, and
it is a reminder for you that you can find all your answers within. This card invites
you to connect with your higher nature and higher centers, with the star in you,
with the star that you are. The stars shine in the night, and they are a symbol of
divine intelligence. This card represents regeneration and recovery, and the
water that is spilled by a woman on the card is the water of life. This card shows
that instability and insecurity have passed and you’re ready to be healed by the
water of life. This water is the sustenance of life. The nymph spills the water from
two jars; from one jar, water is spilled into a little pool or lake that represents the
spiritual realm and our subconsciousness, while the water from the other jar is
spilled onto the land that represents the physical and material side of life.
Consciousness and unconsciousness are in balance, and inner conflict is
resolved. This card reminds you that the effort wasn’t for nothing, that it hasn’t
been wasted, and this card suggests that you can become much better than you
already are. There is a self-betterment journey ahead of you. This card is
strongly related to the number eight. There are eight stars on the card and eight
rays from each star. The card’s number is 17, which also equals eight, and eight
represents balance between upper and lower worlds, balance and peace
between spiritual and physical.
The Moon is one of the most influential planets in Astrology. Together with the
Sun, it forms unity. The Sun and the Moon are two eyes, two lights, silver and
gold, honey and milk, feminine and masculine, plus and minus. They are two
energies that keep things in balance. They rule the night and the day. The Moon
is all about maternal instincts; it is about emotions and different phases. It rules
our moods and the shifts of our mind and heart. The Moon represents our need
for security and stability. It rules our comfort zone, the things we’re used to—it is
our nest and our relationship with our mother but also with Mother Nature and
with our inner Goddess and inner Mother regardless of our gender. The Moon
represents nurturing energy, caring energy, nourishing energy, and it is also
associated with the mind and fluctuations of the mind. The Moon can make us
overly emotional, overly reactive, easily provoked and irritated, and it can also
make us compassionate, kind, gentle and friendly. It is always a reminder that we
have to work with our emotions and channel them in the right way. The Moon
represents people as well and their influence on us as individuals. It rules our
daily life and daily habits, and it connects our brain and our belly, our mind and
our heart, our nerves and our cells. It governs the rhythm of the body and our
routines and habits. The Moon quickly changes its phases. It moves from waning
to waxing phase, and it affects the fluids and the water in our body; water
symbolically always represents emotions, so these are emotional fluctuations,
too. The Moon is also related to receptive energy, to the feminine principle, to
instincts and intuition, rhythms and cycles. The Moon rules our digestive system
and our eating patterns related to our emotions. The Moon rules our reactions,
the way we react, our unconsciousness and unconscious patterns, our
relationship with the mother, our past, our past lives, our growing up, and our
subconscious habits. It rules our memories and our feelings that are packed with
those memories. The Moon also has a lot to do with our soul food, what feeds
our soul. The Moon has always been related to dreams, beauty, and imagination,
and it also rules fertility and pregnancy. The Moon represents our home and our
family, our roots and our ancestors and it also rules our own space and our need
for security.
In order to channel the energy of the Moon and the energy of Eclipse this month,
you are asked to examine yourself deeply, dig through yourself, look deeply into
yourself, get lost in yourself and try to see whole life as yourself too. Try to
integrate yourself with life instead of seeing yourself separate from life, separate
from what’s going on in the world, separate from what’s going on in your society.
Try to see it all as different aspects of your being and accept it. You can liberate
yourself from many imprisoning patterns just by accepting yourself fully and
completely. Look at yourself and see the beauty in those things that you usually
reject, deny, avoid, resist or neglect. Start recognizing beauty in those things that
you cannot accept, that you’re afraid of. Start recognizing the value in things that
are unknown to you, in things that you feel attacked by, in things that make you
feel threatened, in things that make you feel disempowered in any way. Instead
of fighting against something, start recognizing the value and message of those
things, start realizing the power of the things you’re rejecting. When you reject
certain things, you attract them even more and when you accept things, the
pressure is gone and you have clarity. When you reject something, whatever that
is in the world, whether that is something very close to you or something that is
very far away from you, it doesn’t matter. It will still have a very troubling effect on
your personal life. So, instead of being focused on things that cause you any kind
of trouble, focus on things that bring resolutions and focus on things that upgrade
you in every way and by doing so, all the things you rejected or neglected or
avoided, start realigning with you in a harmonious way. Do some small ritual that
involves the Moon and your own element of Fire. Write down your strongest
affirmations for yourself. Write down everything you want to see manifested in
your world and use fire and water as helping guiding elements on your journey.
Fire is your ruling element while Water element is related to the Moon. Connect
yourself with both of these elements, set your intentions during this time, say out
loud things you are ready to release and let go of. Say out loud things you’re
grateful for. Say out loud things you already have and feel gratitude in your heart.
Count your blessings every day, every hour, every minute. Become a present
moment instead of trying to live in a present moment and let this become your
greatest investment.
- Imagine yourself walking through ancient temples and ancient cities. Use your
imagination and imagine these ancient cities and ancient temples. Travel through
time. You can watch some ancient temples in order to get inspiration from them.
Imagine the whole thing, the interior and the exterior, all the details too. Walk
through them fully. Start from walking through the city, explore everything you
can, imagine whatever you want. There are no limitations. Enjoy the ride.
- Imagine your life as a big book, as a book that is still being written, a huge living
book. Give a title to your current chapter of life. Think about this chapter. When
did it start? Is it ending or is it just beginning? Where are you right now? What is
the name of this current chapter and what is the previous chapter? Think about
the previous and the next chapter too. You need all three, the present, the current
and the next one. Feel each day of your life as new pages of this current chapter
of your book of life. Live as if you are writing a book of your life and enjoy this
process fully.
- Sit down in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Take a couple of deep
breaths through your nose and exhale through your mouth and feel relaxed.
Then start this breathing exercise. Close your left nostril with the middle finger of
your right hand and count to 4 while you’re inhaling and then hold your breath as
you count to 16. When you finish counting to 16 without breathing, remove your
middle finger from your left nostril and then close your right nostril with the thumb
of your right hand and count to 8 while you’re exhaling. Keep your thumb still
there and inhale counting to 4, hold your breath counting to 16. When you finish
counting to 16 without breathing, remove the thumb from your right nostril and
close your left nostril with the middle finger and exhale, counting to 8. Repeat
these shifts six times if you can. This is a very powerful breathing technique that
cleanses you and showers you, keeps you mentally and physically healthy and
has many other benefits. Enjoy your breathing and refreshment.
- Go outside and find a branch that you’re going to take with you. Find a little
branch from a tree. Ask the tree to allow you to take it. Tell the tree that you’re
going to take care of this branch. It’s just a little branch. You won’t hurt the tree.
Thank the tree for this branch and take it with you. See this branch as your
magical stick. Feel it as a magical stick, energize it with your intention and with
your energy. Hold it in your hands with your eyes closed and connect with this
branch. It also has its own energy and field around it. This will be your magical
stick, your teacher, your friend, your guide. Use it every day in any way you want,
confess to it, ask it questions, save your mental memories into it, meditate with it,
tell it your worries and feel your connection with it.
- Imagine a fountain of light around you. Feel the fountain of light from above and
from beneath, feel it through your head and through your feet, feel this fountain
through your whole body, feel how your whole body is permeated by this fountain
of light streams. Feel the streams coming in and out of your body. Imagine this
divine fountain washing you and purging you, cleansing you and enlightening
you, keeping you clean, clear and conscious. Enjoy the feeling and the benefits
of this exercise.
- Every day say to yourself: “I am pure energy and pure light. I am abundant in
who I am. Everything serves me and I am deeply grateful for everything that
happens on my journey, whether I label it as something “good” or “bad”. I am the
expression of the soul and spirit and I do my best to manifest their expression in
the most authentic, true and meaningful way.” Really feel these words. Empower
them with your own intention and energy. Write it down and have it with you. Add
or remove whatever you want from this sentence. Have fun with it and see how
this works for you. Say these words every now and then during the day,
whenever and wherever you want and feel the power of these words and
intentions.
- Make a list of all the things that you are done with, that you are breaking up with
and make a list of all the things you want to gain, that you want to achieve, that
you want to earn and learn. Let this list become your motivation and inspiration.
Put it somewhere where you can see it every day and focus on the list of things
you want to gain. You will see how all the things from the first list start falling off
on their own once you start doing things that get you closer to things you want to
gain.
- Try to observe others as your own projections. Try to perceive others and all the
things that you do like and that you don’t like in others as your projections. Give
your best to maintain this kind of perception as long as you can. See what you
can discover by doing this, see what new insights you can gain and see how this
makes you feel. It ain’t easy but it’s very powerful and can be life-changing. Good
luck!
- Go outside and look at all the faces of people you meet randomly on the street.
Observe others. Observe their gestures, their facial expressions, their postures,
their walk, their routines. Just observe others while you’re taking a walk and see
what are the things that catch your attention the most, what attracts you the most
and what repels you. See what you can learn about yourself through this simple
and yet very complex and deep exercise.
- Practice fish pose. Do your research about it, see how it’s done, learn more
about it, explore what it’s good for and what it means. This pose is known as
Matsyasana. Learn and practice, follow the guidance and see how it makes you
feel.
- When do I feel that I am being the best of myself? When was the last time I felt
that I am giving a hundred percent of myself? Into what kinds of things do I invest
a hundred percent of myself in?
- How do I feel about changes? What kind of vibe does that energy give to me?
What are my first associations, feelings, images, emotions and thoughts that
come up when I hear the word “Change”? What does this tell me about myself?
- If my higher self was right here in front of me, watching me directly in my eyes,
what would I be ashamed of? What would I be afraid of and what would I be
proud of? What would I be happy for?
- When do I feel abundant? When do I feel rich? What is richness to me? What is
my concept of values?
- Who am I? What kind of feeling do I get when I ask myself this question? What
colors, sounds, images, tastes do I get when I ask this question? Who am I?
What emerges from the depth of my being as a feeling, as a voice, as a
vibration? What do I get, in what shape and form do I receive the response of this
echoing question?
TAURUS
On the same day when Mercury enters your sign, Mercury makes a tense square
aspect with Pluto in Aquarius in your tenth house of career, success, reputation,
contribution, ambitions and goals, authorities, life path and life direction. Pluto
just entered Aquarius and this is a square on the first degrees of Aquarius and
Taurus. There is a possible tension around the 3rd of April when it comes to your
personality, your reactions, your behavior and your career, your boss, your
authority figures, your life direction. Something may be critical here but it also
gives you an opportunity for a powerful shift in the way you do things. You may
do something quite differently now.
On the 6th of April there's a Full Moon in Libra, shining a light in your sixth house,
showing you some things you need to see and acknowledge about your health,
your wellbeing, your work, your daily routines and habits. You may be doing
everything on your own perhaps. You may be rejecting help from others even
though they are there to help you. This Full Moon will enlighten this for you so
that you can change something in how you live your life and how you organize
yourself. You may be overloaded with work. You may be working hard, working
too much or putting a lot of effort into something. This Full Moon brings
culminations now with your work, your job, your relationships with colleagues
perhaps, your everyday routines and habits, your schedules and your lifestyle.
Something may come to an end here. Some of you may quit a job, or change
your job, or you may see some of your colleagues leaving a job for some reason.
Something may come to a head in your work area or with your health. You may
reveal something related to your health or to your work. This is a time of
revelation. Something may also come to a fruition, something you’ve been
working on. Be of service, help and support others, but also accept help and
support from others. This is the sixth house and it’s all about being of service and
taking good care of yourself. Some habits and routines may be changed now. It’s
time to release toxic routines and habits and to discover the beauty and quality of
sobriety.
On the 11th of April your ruler Venus enters Gemini and highlights your natural
second house. Venus is here in her own house and she is your ruler. She also
trines Pluto in Aquarius which is a very beautiful and friendly aspect. This is a
magical time for you and your money. This is a potential for big money, for
earning more than you could imagine, for increasing your income, for improving
your budget, for building up your financial stability and for receiving help from
powerful authorities perhaps. You can count on financial support now. Days
around this time are extremely beneficial for all kinds of purchases, earnings,
investments, for valuing your talents and gifts, for loving yourself, for appreciating
yourself and for achieving your material goals too. You can gain great comfort
during this time. You attract money while Venus is here and Venus is here until
the 7th of May. You can expect powerful opportunities for financial improvements
and for gaining material stability. Something beautiful can be achieved now.
On the same day when Venus enters Gemini, you have a conjunction between
the Sun and Jupiter in your hidden twelfth house. You can expect great hidden
help, hidden support from someone. This is a protection from the invisible world
and it’s very strong now. This has been active already, and now with the Sun and
Jupiter here together, this is a very strong and powerful combination and it brings
amazing protection and support. You are protected from your unconscious fears
and anxieties and you are breaking through emotional patterns. Insights and
intuitive messages are present all the time throughout the whole month. This
twelfth house is very active throughout the whole April and you’re experiencing a
lot of secret blessings from the invisible realm. Inner blessings are strong.
Spiritual journey is very powerful this month and your psychic gifts and powers
are activated too. Pay attention to your dreams. This placement has been strong
in March too and now it’s very strong again.
On the 20th of April there’s a first Eclipse of the year, the New Moon Solar
Eclipse in Aries in your twelfth house and this is the second New Moon in a row
in the same sign. This is not a typical New Moon since it’s an Eclipse time but it’s
also not a typical Eclipse since the North node is still in your sign and it should be
in Aries. So, this is a bit weird, interesting, exciting and new energy. This Eclipse
marks the beginning of a new Eclipse cycle that will be active in the Aries/Libra
axis, but the Eclipse cycle in Taurus/Scorpio is not finished yet. You will still have
some work to do when it comes to the Eclipse cycle that began around the end of
2021. But this new Eclipse cycle will be felt anyway and it highlights your twelfth
house of retreat, rest, relaxation, meditation, contemplation, ancestors, family
lineage, otherworldly things, dreams, symbols, metaphysical and esoteric
teachings, spiritual insights. This is a complex placement and you’ve already had
the New Moon here last month. But this one is different, more intense and strong,
more important and you will be receiving strong synchronistic and intuitive
messages. It’s a powerful time for meditation and for self-healing and this will be
a very significant theme for you in the next two years too.
On the 21st the Sun enters your sign dear Taurus and marks the beginning of
your season! Happy Birthday dear Taurus! It’s time for you to shine, to stand up
for yourself, to ask yourself important questions, to make important decisions, to
see if you’re on the right path or if you have to change something. The Sun
shines a light on you and shows you what you need to do. You have Mercury in
your sign together with Uranus, North node and the Sun now. Amazing powerful
energy for you to reinvent yourself and prepare for Jupiter’s journey through your
sign which starts in the next month. This is a huge shift and you may already feel
something powerful changing for you, expanding you and widening you.
Mars is in Cancer this whole month and it’s activating your social and mental third
house. Your mind is very active, your social life is very active and this energy is
serving you well even though Mars is here in its fall. Mars cannot naturally
express its energy and drive while being in Cancer and it has to use different
ways of expressing its energy. So, you may be more emotional with friends, with
siblings, with relatives, with neighbors. You may be more protective towards
them. You may also have some thoughts that are very stubborn and that make
you feel reckless and that’s why this is a powerful time for meditation too, for
mental exercises, for healthy social activities. Mars squares Chiron in Aries on
the 27th and this can bring you interesting conversations that may trigger some
wounds. Take care of your words and how you share certain information during
this month with Mars in your third house. Words can be sharp. Conversations
may be a bit passive aggressive too, so make sure you’re aware of that too. But
generally, this is a great time for taking action with others, for going on short trips,
for writing, learning, teaching, for putting effort and action in developing skills and
for using Mars in Cancer to express your emotions through actions.
How the New Moon Solar Eclipse in April will influence Taurus
Dear Taurus, this New Moon happens on the 20th of April and this is the second
New Moon in Aries in a row but this one is way different because it is Solar
Eclipse New Moon and it’s on the very last degrees of the sign while the first New
Moon in Aries that happened last month was on the first degrees of the sign. This
now activates your twelfth house again and this is some kind of double initiation,
a confirmation and some kind of ending and beginning. This is a double energy
of endings and beginnings since Eclipses are all about endings and beginnings
while twelfth house is also about endings and beginnings. But these are not just
any kind of endings and beginnings. These are key changes. These are
life-changing events. Eclipses are very karmic and they bring destined goodbyes
and hellos but this Eclipse may not be that strong yet, since North node is still in
your sign and there are still some things to be finished when it comes to Eclipse
series that have been active since the end of 2021 that happens in the
Taurus/Scorpio axis. But it will anyway be strong enough and it marks the
beginning of a new series of Eclipses that will be active in the next two years.
The last time this series of Eclipses was active was between the beginning of
2004, and the beginning of 2006, and also between the end of 2013, and the
beginning of 2016. You can think back to these times and see what big changes
and shifts were happening back then, especially related to your inner world, your
psyche, your mental energy, your physical wellbeing, your health, your work, your
addictions, your fears, your anxiety, your meditation, your inner peace, your
service to others. These are 6th/12th house areas of life for you and this
particular Eclipse in Aries happens in your twelfth house and your subconscious
world will be triggered, your subconscious fears, your addictions, your spiritual
thirst and hunger, your spiritual journey, your dreams and your need for the
metaphysical teachings, for spiritual teachings, your need for meditation, for rest,
for retreat, for healing. This Eclipse is very good for you because it is here to
cleanse you, to set you free from past limitations, to set you free from addictions
from the past, to liberate you from ancestral karmic patterns and to prepare you
for a new dawn in your life. Life can put you in such situations where you will be
given a wonderful opportunity for spiritual growth, for learning the language of
symbols, for studying metaphysical and esoteric teaching, for studying astrology,
numerology, dreams, archetypes, runes, ancient knowledge and scripts of
ancient teachings. Many of you will be initiated into this kind of knowledge and
wisdom but the road to that initiation may be a bit scary at first because you have
to go through self-healing. You will be able to see your addictions clearly in the
next two years and this first Eclipse in this series is opening things up for you and
showing you what you will be working with and dealing with. This is an incredible
opportunity for dissolving egoic desires and wishes, for dissolving nightmares
and fears, for dissolving anxiety and ancestral karma.
The man in the card seems injured, exhausted, and weak but he is still standing
and holding on to a wand with eight other wands behind him. He battled previous
battles. He’s been in the battle and he survived. He is right there. Even though he
is wounded and exhausted, he seems determined, strong, and resilient. He is not
lying down or sitting down. He is not in pain. He knows that there is that last
battle in front of him, and he’s ready because he has many battles behind him
and he knows he’s going to make it. He has been through them all, and he has
overcome those battles. This is a card of determination and triumph and mixed
feelings. He is protected by many wands behind him that create a protective wall,
and that represent battles that are behind him. Those are his triumphs, and you
feel the same now. You go through similar experiences and stories, and there’s
that one last battle in front of you.
This is a card of great hope, and it shows that you’ve been through many trials,
but you were able to overcome them all. You already made it through. You’ve
been through multiple challenges, and you’re ready for that final challenge in this
chapter of your life. This is also a card of success and encouragement. You know
you’re right there. You know that you’re about to succeed. This card reminds you
to stand tall despite all challenges and previous battles you’ve been through. This
card reminds you of your inner strength, and it reminds you to be courageous
and not to give up no matter how many battles you’ve already been through. This
could be that last major challenge you’re supposed to face in order to reach the
place you want to be. This card also encourages you to take a risk if you have to,
and this card could bring someone into your life who can transform your
perception and your point of view in a very uplifting and encouraging way. This
card encourages you to move on with a certain project or task, and it motivates
you to continue with whatever it is that you’re doing that you might have doubts
about. You are very close to reaching the goal and gaining success, so don’t give
up now. This card is like the last test and the darkness before dawn. It is the last
challenge before the success, before the bloom.
In order for you to make the most of this Mercury’s transit through your sign and
to channel this energy in its most energizing, empowering and constructive way,
you should be ready to learn from others, to listen to others, to think before you
speak, to write down or record your thoughts and feelings because this will help
you to see yourself more clearly and to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings,
miscommunications and misinterpretations. Use your words wisely, thoroughly,
and patiently. Look at yourself, examine yourself, have a conversation with
yourself, have a daily chat with yourself. Make an interview with yourself, ask
yourself questions, write down questions for yourself as if you are about to have
an interview with somebody but in this case “somebody” is you. Schedule an
interview with yourself, make it official and have a real conversation with yourself.
Take yourself out for a walk and have a conversation with yourself while you’re
walking. Say things to yourself that you would love to say to somebody else,
confess to yourself as if you would confess to your soul and spirit. Imagine that
you’re confessing to your soul and let it all out. Practice doing this. Practice these
daily conversations with yourself and see where this takes you, see what kind of
feeling this triggers in you. Whenever you can, have a conversation with yourself,
a sincere, heart to heart conversation. Whenever you feel whatever it is that
you’re feeling, instead of just thinking about it or sharing your thoughts on social
networks or in messages with others, try to keep those things for yourself and try
to speak about them with yourself first. Be your main filter of your thoughts,
words and feelings and see how this changes and transforms your relationships,
your behavior, your reactions and your wants and needs. Look at yourself,
examine yourself, research yourself. Use powerful words in your everyday
conversations. Carefully choose your words and see how this affects you too.
Examine your thoughts and start filtering your thoughts so that they serve you.
Read, write, learn, study, teach, share information, travel locally, connect and
communicate in order to awaken the inner messenger of gods, in order to bring
out the highest expression of Mercury.
- Put one hand on your belly-button and the other on the back of your head and
breathe in through your hand on your belly-button, transferring air through your
spine to your hand which is on the back of your head. Breathe out through your
hand on the back of your head through your head and through your spine back
through your belly button to the hand. Repeat this a couple of times, transfer the
air between your two hands through your spine, through your belly button and
through your head and back again. Feel this transfer of your breath, feel it
through your spine, feel it through your hands. This is a very powerful technique
and you can use it any time during the day every day.
- Put your hands in front of you and watch your thumbs. Put your thumbs next to
each other. Focus on your thumbs and as you observe your thumbs count to 30
in yourself and then close your eyes but still keep your focus on your thumbs with
your eyes closed and count backwards from 30 to 1 while keeping your focus on
your thumbs as if you're still watching them. This is an exercise that helps you
with focus, awareness, conscious actions, memory and good mood.
- Imagine your past bad memories, your past wounds, your past hurts, your bad
habits, your unhealthy choices, your disturbing feelings as burned black
branches and then throw these branches into the fire. See how they start shining,
feel how these black dry branches start sparkling and giving light, put them into
the fire to purify them and to transform them into sparkling shiny branches. Feel
this process. Start a fire somewhere if you can in order to feel this process more
lively. If you want, you can do this in your yard or in nature somewhere, start a
small fire and throw some old little broken branches into the fire and watch how
they become beautifully transformed, how they shine, sparkle and give warmth.
You can also just imagine it without literally doing it. Enjoy the process.
- Play with your shadow. Create light in your space so that you can see your
shadow on the wall. Take a photo of your shadow, ask your shadow a question,
move around and see how it reshapes, how it grows and how it disappears, how
it transforms easily. Dance with your shadow, watch it and make your own
shadow performance. Then turn on the lights and see how all of that was just a
play. See how certain things that are totally invisible become visible under a
certain combination of light and darkness. Contemplate this and enjoy the ride.
- Light up a candle in front of you and turn off the light. Focus on the light of the
candle. Focus on the fine air that you see right above the flame of the candle. Put
yourself a bit closer to the candle and inhale the air from the candle three times
in a row and hold your breath, then exhale. Ask it to purge you and purify you.
Ask it to awaken the spirit within you and to bring you new inspiration and
willpower. First dedicate this candle to something that is really meaningful to you
and then do this. What you are inhaling is life that ascends towards the top of the
flame and you feel stronger as you inhale it. Feel the power of this exercise and
enjoy the benefits of it.
- Make someone feel comfortable in your company. If you feel that somebody
feels uncomfortable, do something in a subtle way so that this person doesn't
notice it and make them feel comfortable, make them feel relaxed, make them
feel safe and secure, make them feel understood and accepted. Do this with
people, experiment, try to make them feel appreciated and accepted, make them
feel comfortable and easy. You will also enjoy this and you will feel better too. Of
course do not drain yourself and do this by force. If you cannot do it, don't do it.
But remind yourself of this and try making it work, see how it makes you feel.
- Whatever it is that you’re doing throughout the day, whenever you notice a
beautiful moment, an inspiring moment, or scenery that you like, or an
atmosphere that makes you feel good, inhale it. Just inhale the whole image,
take a deep breath and hold it, feel how you’re saving that moment within
yourself. Really feel like you’re saving and storing the memory within you, by
inhaling it. This is how you will start remembering these moments more vividly.
Each time you take a deep breath, you will remember all these beautiful
moments and you will feel very abundant.
- Listen to the sound of water. If you can, go somewhere near the water if you
have any near you and just close your eyes and focus on the sound of it. If there
is no such place near you, just play some videos or audio of water and focus only
on the sound. Become this sound. Feel yourself as this sound and surrender
yourself to it completely.
- Take yourself outside for a walk and have a nice intimate dialogue with yourself,
in yourself, while you’re walking. Enjoy the walk and the conversation. See how
you feel and what new insights you receive through this simple and powerful
practice.
- Practice Boat Pose. Do your research about it, see what it’s good for, see how
it’s done and start practicing it. This pose is known as Navasana. This is a
challenging one but it is very powerful and it helps you on many levels, mental,
emotional and physical. Enjoy it.
- When do I feel completely fulfilled from the inside? Are there moments like
those in my life? How often do I get those kinds of feelings?
- What am I not afraid to let go of? What do I want to let go of with great pleasure
and joy in my heart?
- Is there anything in my past that I would love to come back to? What does this
tell me about myself?
- Am I loyal to myself? What is true loyalty according to me? What are my first
associations, images, thoughts, feelings and emotions that come up when I hear
the word “loyalty”? What does this tell me about myself?
- What has been the hardest question for me lately? What is the hardest question
that I could ask myself? What is the hardest question from these five questions
here?
GEMINI
On the 3rd of April your ruler Mercury enters Taurus and joins Uranus, North
node and Venus in your twelfth house of dreams, intuition, meditation,
withdrawal, retreat, relaxation and self-healing. Mercury will be here until the 11th
of June due to its retrograde motion. Mercury is retrograde between the 21st of
April and 15th of May. Your thoughts are turned inward and you’re focused more
on things that happen on the inside, on your feelings, your perspectives, your
past. You may be thinking about your past a lot during this time, thinking about
people from your past. You may have dreams of people from your past, or people
who have passed away. You may also communicate with these people in some
way. You can expect spiritual breakthroughs and insights, a-ha moments, sudden
insights, unexpected realizations, sudden shifts in perception. Some of you may
be writing about these experiences. Mercury is also learning and teaching and
some of you may be learning or teaching about things related to psychology,
astrology, numerology, things that explain the unknown and the invisible. This is
the realm of the intangible and the untouchable. These are self-healing talks,
self-healing words, self-healing thoughts. You may be doing some work in the
background, working behind the scenes, finishing the unfinished, analyzing your
dreams, your psyche, your synchronicities. You need some quality time on your
own. You are learning to take a rest, to relax, to calm down, to recognize the
beauty of nature and to recognize the healing power of nature and silence.
On the 6th of April there’s a Full Moon in Libra in your fifth house of joy, pleasure,
love, romance, children, entertainment, self-expression, creativity, fun and sports.
This should be a good energy for you, even though Full Moons can bring endings
and closures. They also bring fulfillments and fruits. One of your children can
gain success in something now if you have children. You may be working with
children and experience some kind of culmination with them. They can be
successful in something if you’re their guide, their teacher or coach. This Full
Moon reminds you to have fun and enjoy life if you’re working too much, and also
if you’ve been having too much fun lately. This may be a time of culmination of a
party and an end of that type of period. Each Full Moon rebalances you and if
you’re too off the track, it will put you back on the track. Some of you may receive
pregnancy news. You may welcome children in your world perhaps. This can be
a time of launching something, of finally seeing the fruition of some creative
project you’ve been working on. This is also a lot about love and romance and
some of you may meet a new love interest in your life or you may feel very good
in the company of an existing partner. In some rare cases, endings and
culminations can happen in your love life too but since this is a friendly energy,
you should enjoy and have a good time now.
On the 11th of April Venus enters your sign dear Gemini! This is a very beautiful,
inspiring and harmonizing transit. Venus in your sign brings popularity, beauty,
attractiveness, harmony, comfort and money too. Venus in your sign also makes
a positive trine aspect with Pluto in Aquarius in your ninth house of long distance
travel, foreigners, international connections, international business, spiritual
pursuits, higher meaning, higher education. You can be supported beautifully
now in these areas of your life. There is so much that you can do and achieve.
You feel great and you look great and others notice your good energy and vibes.
Others want to be around you and they feel good in your company. You are
beautifying yourself during this time. You are improving your physical
appearance. You are shining and you are recognizing your true values and true
beauty. You easily attract things in your life. You attract love and beauty
effortlessly with Venus in your sign in trine with Pluto. Beautiful transformations
are happening in your life. Spiritual journey or physical journey beautifies you in
every way. Changing beliefs beautifies you. Learning things beautifies you. You
will have wonderful new inspiring ideas that you’re going to share with others.
You are naturally expressing your qualities and just by being who you are, you
achieve it all. When you pretend, when you try too hard, when you put so much
effort into something, it won’t work. But, when you are relaxed with being who
you are and express yourself naturally just as you are, all things come to you and
this will be shown to you this month in a beautiful way. Venus is in your sign until
the 7th of May.
On the same day when Venus enters your sign, there’s a conjunction between
the Sun and Jupiter in Aries, shining in your eleventh house of friends, groups of
people, social circles, communities, your soul family, your tribe. This is an
amazing energy for social interactions, for connecting with people, meeting new
people, experiencing something lucky and positive with others, getting support
from others, something abundant and powerful happening within your social
circles, within your community. This area of your life is very strong throughout the
whole month. This has already been very strongly activated last month and now
it continues in an even stronger way. A friend can introduce you to someone who
can be of great help or you may become more popular during this time, people
notice you, people start recognizing you for something that you do. You can
receive great offers from others. You can meet new people, you can connect with
new friends and you can also expand your existing friendships in a very cheerful,
exciting and uplifting way.
There’s also Eclipse happening this month and this is the first Eclipse in 2023.
This is the New Moon Solar Eclipse and this New Moon is the second New Moon
in a row that happens in the same sign, in Aries. This amplifies the whole Aries
energy and your social connections and social activities. Something powerful,
karmic, destined and awakening is happening in your social world. You may find
your soul family during this time. You can connect with people who really strongly
resonate with you. You can connect with friends of your friends who can click with
you in a majestic way. Your highest aspirations are also activated with this
Eclipse New Moon. There is a sense of urgency perhaps related to your goals
and aspirations, your long range goals and plans. You are learning a lot from
others. You may be sharing things with others, collaborating, cooperating,
networking in a very significant way. Community based projects can be greatly
supported now too. You are pursuing your goals and you’re very well supported
on that road. The last time these series of Eclipses were active was back
between the beginning of 2004, and the beginning of 2006, and also between the
end of 2013, and the beginning of 2016. Think back to these periods of time and
see what big changes in your social world have been happening, or with your
children if you have them, or with your projects, your creativity, your love life, your
friendships, your aspirations. This series of Eclipses will last for the next two
years and there will be a storyline that follows this cycle. Things you’ve wanted
back then, things you’ve dreamed of back then may manifest during these two
years and things you’ve missed to understand, lessons you’ve missed to learn,
classes you’ve missed to attain during the last Aries/Libra Eclipses cycle, may
reappear so that you can learn, acknowledge, let go and accept. You are
connecting with some key people in your life and your connections will play a
huge role for your future.
On the 21st the Sun enters Taurus and highlights your hidden twelfth house
where you already have your ruler Mercury and Mercury stations retrograde just
a couple of minutes after the Sun enters Taurus. Uranus is also here with the
North node and there’s still a lot of work to be done in your twelfth house. There’s
still a lot of healing, a lot of letting go and releasing. The Sun here will help you
do that together with retrograde Mercury. You are resolving things from the past,
you are clearing out things from the past, you are detaching from past
attachments and you’re dealing with anxieties, subconscious fears and perhaps
some nightmares along the way. But it looks pretty good and you’re very satisfied
with how things are going in these areas of your life. Pay attention to your
dreams this whole month and the next month as well. Remember, things can be
resolved in your dreams. If you resolve them there, you don’t have to resolve
them here. You may be facing fears through your dreams instead through your
real life experiences and if you manage to resolve this fear in your dreams, you
won’t have to resolve it here either.
Mars is in Cancer in your second house of finances, money, earnings, resources,
talents, gifts, values and priorities. You will be putting energy and effort into these
things. You may even be a bit obsessed with spendings and savings, or things
related to your financial situation. You may have a hard time to spend or save
money but Mars here can also give you a lot of motivation and courage to take
risks. Just don’t make any quick decisions related to finances or your earnings.
You may be emotionally attached to your resources too and you will see it clearly
this month. You can actually put more energy into becoming more self-assured
and stable, because when you have these things, you have all other stabilities
too. They come naturally and even if they don’t, you are not afraid of losing
material stability because you know that it is something that can be destroyed
and rebuilt any time anywhere. You learn how to not get too identified with
material stability and resources and you start focusing on things that can survive
the test of time.
How the New Moon Solar Eclipse in April will influence Gemini
Dear Gemini, this New Moon is the second New Moon in a row that happens in
the sign of Aries. But there is a big difference between them. This one is Solar
Eclipse New Moon and Eclipse is not a typical New Moon. Eclipses are intense
and huge events, big shifts, life-changing moments, karmic connections and
disconnections, goodbyes and hellos, beginnings and endings. But this Eclipse is
also not a typical Eclipse, so maybe this won’t be felt to that degree yet. This is
the first Eclipse of 2023, and it marks the beginning of a new cycle of Eclipses
that will be happening in the Aries/Libra axis. But we’re not done yet with the
Taurus/Scorpio Eclipse cycle and that is why this is not the full energy of Eclipse
since the North node is still in Taurus. But this doesn’t make this Eclipse any less
important, in fact, this makes it even more unique. This New Moon happens at
the very end of the sign of Aries, on the last degrees of the sign and it won’t
necessarily be related to new beginnings. This is a time of endings and
beginnings which is actually always true, but during this time, it may be felt more
than usual. This happens in your eleventh house of social connections,
networking, communities, friendships, associates, acquaintances, social circles,
groups of people, like-minded people, soul family, your tribe of people, your
support group, fans, clients, older brothers and sisters and those who feel like
them. This is also a house of your highest aspirations, your goals for the future,
your long range plans. You already had the New Moon happening here in March
and it was also very powerful and strong. Now it’s even stronger and you still
have Jupiter there together with Chiron and now also with the Sun and the Moon.
This is fantastic energy for social life, for new connections, new friends, karmic
connections, key people, people who can expand your vision and help you a lot
on your path. You can be introduced to someone. You may be recognized for
something by others. You are invited to some kind of gathering where you
connect with all kinds of people who may turn out to be a very valuable and
meaningful contact. This is also the energy of renewals and some friends may
come back into your life during this time too. This Eclipse is just the beginning of
this process and it will definitely change your social interactions and your
friendships in the next two years. The last time this series of Eclipses was active
was back between the beginning of 2004, and the beginning of 2006, and also
between the end of 2013, and the beginning of 2016. These periods of time are
important because similar themes and storylines will be active now again. This
doesn’t mean that the same things will happen or that they will happen in a
similar way. Things have changed, and there are never two same Eclipses
happening, but they are happening in the same areas of your life, so you will feel
the similar taste perhaps. Some lessons that are left unlearned will become
active again so that you can learn them now. This is a great time for starting your
own community or for joining a new community, for connecting with more
like-minded people, for establishing important connections with others, for
starting some community based project, for working on a team with people, for
sharing your message with others and for collaborating, for moving towards your
highest aspirations and desires. You have that passion and desire now. This is
Aries energy with so much support from other players in this lunation and you
can achieve remarkable things now especially with Jupiter in conjunction with this
Eclipse. You can expand your connections like a burning flame. This is Fire
energy and you are an Air sign. Fire cannot exist without air so you can definitely
make things happen now and make them alive. Go for it, enjoy your connections
and collaborations. Make sure you do something proactive in your communities
and with your friends. Friends play a huge role in your life now and they bring you
new possibilities, new contacts and new ideas that can direct you in the right way
and that can serve you in the future.
This card in some cases can also show someone in your life who still clings on to
what was, and, even if the worst didn’t happen or if it’s all gone and behind in the
past, the person still lives in that atmosphere. This could also be you. So this is a
reality check and a reminder that it is not time for staying in the old. What
happened happened. The past is in the past, and the present moment is now.
This is a reminder to get up and get going, to move on and notice many
opportunities that are all around you. There is a need to reject and remove that
which is no longer serving you. There is a need for changing plans as well and
changing attitudes about life and the future. This card is a strong message that
instead of staying stuck in something bad, instead of crying over something that
happened in the past, you have to look into the future and understand that past
events have only liberated you. See how life has changed, and see how those
changes created a new set of possibilities that are in front of you. Irrational fears
may be present, and you are going to see that they’re irrational. You are getting
rid of something painful that happened in the past now, and you’re looking into
the future. Something you’ve been afraid of that might happen actually doesn’t
happen, and this makes you open for new beginnings. It’s time to get over
something so that you can start fresh. Old pain needs to be dealt with once and
for all, and the time is now. This card means that it is time for releasing old pain
and wounds, for releasing suffering and feeling relief from old burdens. This card
represents healing and learned lessons. You are rising above problems, and
you’re pulling yourself together. It’s time for rebirth. You have survived the
worst—now there’s only one way, and that way is up.
In order to channel the energy of Venus this month in the most effective,
influential, productive, loving and beautiful way, you should do things that are
more venusian in life and connect with your inner Venus. Beautify yourself in
some way. Beautify your home, beautify your space, beautify your perception of
life, beautify your physical appearance. Do it in any way you want. Put some new
detail on yourself that is refreshing and renewing. Do something that renews you.
Recognize the beauty in others and recognize the beauty in yourself. Search for
beauty in everything. See the beauty in things that you usually don’t see it in.
Visit galleries, theaters, culture events, cinemas, concerts. Do something that
evokes beautiful feelings. Feed your senses in a healthy and uplifting way. Eat
good food, try new food, take yourself out for dinner or prepare yourself a
wonderful dinner and enjoy it. Remind yourself to love yourself and practice
loving yourself even if you don’t know how it’s done, start learning now. Take
yourself out to a nice place. Invite someone special with you too if you want, if
you feel like it. Smell flowers, connect with flowers. Enjoy taking a shower, fill
your bathtub and play some relaxing music or music that you enjoy. Create an
enjoyable atmosphere for yourself in everything that you do and feel life. Open
your senses and feel the joy of being alive.
- Ask the elements to help you with anything that you want in your life, with any
seed that you plant, with any issue you might have. Ask the Earth to plant this
seed and to nurture it, to help it grow strong and to manifest and evolve as it
should. Ask the Water to keep it hydrated and fresh, to shape it and to water your
seed daily. Ask the Air to inhale a breath of freshness into it and ask the Fire to
purge it from any impurities and to infuse it with the spirit, to enlighten its
purpose.
- Put yourself in the position of somebody else. Put yourself in a different role.
Choose somebody else's situation in life, somebody else's role and try to play
that role. Try to imagine and feel as if you are in that role completely. Choose one
role for yourself and get into that role. Get into the new role as much as you can.
Give your best to really play that role and imagine yourself as an actor who got a
new role. Put yourself into that new frame of mind and have fun.
- Imagine that you are washing your whole energetic body, that you are washing
and grinding your ego, that you are transforming yourself and washing all the
heavy stains that have been stuck with you for many lifetimes. Imagine that you
are put into the great cosmic washing machine and that you are being totally
cleaned. Feel how you are completely permeated by the divine smell and purity.
Put yourself in this cosmic washing machine and wash your energetic body
clean. Feel the new smell of your own atmosphere just as you feel the new and
fresh smell of your clothes.
- Focus on the top of your head and feel that there is a fountain right on the top of
your head that you can open or close. Play with this fountain and open it for a
little while to feel how it flows through you, feel how it works. Do whatever it is
that you're doing during the day, open your fountain while you're taking a walk or
while you're having a conversation. Just open it and feel how it showers you,
protects you and guides you. Once you feel you don't need it so much, close it
and feel this too. Feel your fountain closed and feel that water within you. Feel
yourself as a source and as a guardian of your own fountain, of your own water,
of your own source.
- Tell yourself a story of your life. Sit down with yourself as if you are at a meeting
with a Deity itself and tell yourself your own story, tell yourself everything, make it
official. Schedule this meeting with yourself, make an atmosphere for this
meeting and conversation, set up everything and go on that meeting. Feel this
really. Feel as if you are talking to the highest forces, as if you are in front of the
high priests and high priestesses and tell your whole story. Enjoy the process.
- Imagine yourself as a star in a movie that is your life. Feel yourself as an actor
in your own life, as a star of your life and feel and see all situations and
experiences as adventures from a movie, as scenes from a movie of your life.
Feel yourself as a performer. Feel your life as a performance. Try to imagine life
from this perspective as much as you can.
- Each day when you wake up, make sure that you ask the spirits of dreams and
night to leave you. Ask them to detach from you and ask the spirits of day and
spirits of light to come and take their place. Feel the connection with these spirits
of light within you. Let them come in. Tell them that they are welcomed and ask
all other entities and spirits to leave your field. Let this be your first task when you
wake up. And also when you're going to sleep, ask the spirits of night to guide
you and protect you during your sleep. Ask the spirits of light to be there still with
you. Feel them present in your auric body. Ask them to guide you through astral
planes that you visit while you sleep.
- Read a book. Find a new book that you haven't read before, something you've
always wanted to read perhaps or something you've never heard of before but let
it be something that speaks about things that awaken you. Find those books that
channel words of masters and great mystics. Find valuable books, books that
transfer real knowledge, books that decode symbols and hidden meanings of
things.
- Keep your little daily journal for taking notes for each time you feel inspired, for
each time you get some new idea about something, for each meaningful question
that comes up to you, for each curiosity, for each feel good moment, for each
time you notice something unordinary either within yourself or in your
surrounding. Keep this journal, be present in life, connect with your world and let
your world connect with you too. Taking notes and writing has always been a
magical tool for connecting with your essential parts. Enjoy.
- Practice Rabbit Pose. Do your research about it, see how it’s done, what it
means, what it’s good for and start practicing it. This pose is known as
Sasangasana. This is a very powerful pose for releasing tension and stress, for
bettering your sleep and your mood, for your health, for your mental state of
being. Do your research about it and do it as many times as you want during the
day. If you find it uncomfortable, you can just do Child’s pose instead.
- What kind of inspiration would I love to trigger in others? What kind of influence
would I enjoy having on others? What kind of role model would I love to be?
What does this tell me about myself?
- What kind of hidden knowledge would I love to learn, to have access to, to
discover? If I could choose a certain ancient hidden knowledge, what would it be
about?
- What do I see and feel the moment when I close my eyes and use my intention
to turn within? What do I see when I am looking at myself? What kind of feeling
do I get when I am on my own, listening to the sound of myself?
CANCER
On the 3rd of April Mercury enters Taurus and joins Uranus, North node and
Venus in your eleventh house of social circles, communities, team of people,
groups of people, friendships, associates and also your goals, dreams and
wishes. Mercury will be here for a long time, longer than usual due to its
retrograde motion that begins on the 21st of April and lasts until the 15th of May.
Mercury will be in Taurus all the way until the 11th of June. Now it’s direct during
the first three weeks and it brings you great communication with your friends,
agreements, deals and conversations with people from your social circles, with
people you work with, people you collaborate with. Sudden meetings with people
are possible, unexpected connections with people, unexpected conversations
and topics. You may reconnect with someone from your past too. You may be
thinking about old friends, old connections, people you haven’t seen or heard in a
while. There is a possibility of reconnecting with them again. But it’s also possible
to experience some misunderstandings and misinterpretations with those you’re
already involved with, with your existing friends and people from your team. This
is nothing to worry about. It is just a reminder for some things that need to be
resolved with others while Mercury is retrograde. You will also be reviewing and
reevaluating your wishes, dreams and goals for the future, your aspirations.
On the 6th of April there’s a Full Moon in Libra in your fourth house, in your core
placement in the chart, your place of home, family, real estate, family relations,
roots, past, emotional attachments, emotional stability and security. This Full
Moon shines a light on your home and family matters and it brings things to a
head. It brings things to a culmination in these areas of your life. Some kind of
drama is possible between you and family members, something that needs to be
resolved, acknowledged, adjusted and changed. There are changes in your
home and family world, changes in your emotional setup. Some of you may
relocate or you may be searching for a new place to stay. You may be doing
something related to your home. You may be repairing, renovating, upgrading,
changing your environment. Expect things to come to a fruition in your home and
family world. Your emotions may be heightened during this time. You may feel
emotionally triggered and it’s time for you to grow emotionally, to mature, to look
at your closest relationships, look at your family dynamics and look at those who
feel like your family. This is Libra Full Moon so it’s a lot about relationships and
family connections. Something is brought to light in your family world and you
have to pay attention to it. It is a message for you and it has a strong effect on
your emotional wellbeing.
On the 11th of April Venus enters Gemini and shines a light in your hidden twelfth
house, bringing beauty, harmony and love through your twelfth house matters.
Venus in the twelfth house can bring hidden love, hidden emotions towards
someone, a love relationship that you keep as a secret or a love fantasy perhaps.
Your love life becomes more private, more hidden. It’s also a good time for
couples retreat, for therapies of all kinds, for healing wounds related to love
relationships, for understanding your past traumas, for healing anxiety and
subconscious fears through love and beauty, through poetry, through music and
dancing, through doing things that satisfy your deepest desires, your soul
desires. Venus also makes a trine aspect with Pluto, the lord of the underworld,
in your eighth house of rebirth, transformation, intimacy, deep psychology, inner
world, shadow work, shared resources, investments. This is a very profound
friendly trine even though Pluto makes an awkward angle with your sign. These
are Water houses, eighth and twelfth houses and you are a Water sign too. This
will have a powerful impact on you. Expect a deep transformation of your inner
world. You have an amazing opportunity to do something pleasurable and
enjoyable with Venus in your twelfth house. What nurtures you? What comforts
you? What makes you feel good and grounded? Beauty that you see in nature is
a reflection of your own beauty and Venus in your twelfth house wants you to
become more aware of that too. You may earn money through things you do
behind the scenes. You may be busy with things that are happening on the
inside. You are beautifying your inner world and you’re recognizing the power of
spiritual values. You are discovering spiritual values within yourself.
On the same day when Venus enters Gemini and trines Pluto, there’s another
important transit happening between the Sun and Jupiter. They are in conjunction
in your fellow Cardinal sign Aries and this happens on top of your chart, in your
tenth house of career, profession, reputation, success, social status, contribution,
your life path, your life direction, recognitions, public image, your role in the
world, your relationship with authority figures and father figures, your relationship
with your father. Sun is exalted in Aries and Jupiter also feels good in the fiery
sign of Mars. Jupiter expands everything it touches and here you have a very
powerful combination, authoritative energy and strong motivation in your tenth
house matters. You can achieve some truly powerful things in your career now.
You can contribute in amazing ways to society, to people around you. You can be
of great service to others and you may be very proactive about it. For some of
you this can be something really big and important, a recognition and an award
from those you work with or work for, or if you’re self-employed, this can be
another level of success. You may be more publicly exposed during this time.
Your career opportunities are expanding. Your opportunities for contribution are
growing and expanding too. This can be something that gets you out of your
comfort zone since this energy makes a square aspect with your sign, but it is
also very lucky and brings you success. It’s not only the Sun and Jupiter here this
month that are important but there’s also a New Moon Solar Eclipse happening in
Aries on the 20th of April. This is the second New Moon in a row that is
happening in Aries and it’s again a stellium of planets in Aries. This is very
powerful for new life direction, for new initiations related to your career, your
relationship with your father or with father figures, with authority figures.
Something karmic and destined is happening with your life path and this Eclipse
is a trigger for events that are going to unfold in the next two years. Something
big is happening with your public figure, your public image, how the world sees
you, how you present yourself in the world, your role in the world. You are able to
contribute in a more powerful way now and powerful doesn’t mean spectacular.
Powerful contribution can be you transferring knowledge to someone who is
interested in knowing what you know for example. You are very active and
proactive in achieving your goals now and the ruler of this Eclipse is in your sign
so you will be very persistent and able to make things happen.
On the 21st of April the Sun moves into Taurus and shines a light on your
friendships, your communities, your groups of people, your connections, your
social circles and also on your highest aspirations. Mercury is also here, Uranus
is here and the North node is here. A lot is going on in your social world now and
it will continue to be highlighted in the next month as well. Something significant
is happening with your friends or with your team. There is light in there and you
can celebrate things with others and you may be thinking of new plans and goals
for the future. You are reconsidering and revisioning your aspirations, your
dreams and goals.
Big significant positive things are highlighted in April. Family dynamics are pretty
much strong. Your relationship with your mother is significant too. Things can
culminate and you may feel as if you’re giving too much in the family. You may
feel as if you need to be there for yourself more. You may feel as if you’re getting
lost in family dramas and family vortexes. But it’s also time to resolve and heal
some of those things that are pulling you down. It’s an amazing time for dreaming
big dreams, for initiating things that may have seemed impossible, for being
persistent and for getting out of your own way.
How the New Moon Solar Eclipse in April will influence Cancer
Dear Cancer, this is a Solar New Moon Eclipse that happens on the 20th of April
in the sign of fiery Aries. This is the second New Moon in a row that happens in
the sign of Aries but they are actually very different even though they happen in
the same sign. The previous New Moon in Aries happened on the very first
degrees of the sign while this one happens on the very last degrees of the sign.
The last degree is known as anaretic degree, critical degree and it carries the
energy of endings and beginnings. This is also Eclipse New Moon which makes it
more significant and intense and it makes a square aspect with your sign.
Eclipses are game changers and they bring important life-changing events.
Eclipses intensify karmic events, karmic manifestations and karmic resolutions.
They bring destined things, things that are meant to be and for you all this is
happening in your tenth house of career, success, profession, reputation, social
status, public image, your chosen path, your life path, your life direction, your true
vocation, your contribution and recognition, your role in the world, your
relationship with authority figures, with father figures, with father and with your
own authority. This is a time of endings and beginnings, of initiations, new
chapters and new storylines. These are powerful new opportunities for career, for
success, for recognition. You may be offered something big during this time since
Jupiter is here too, next to this Solar Eclipse and Jupiter expands everything it
touches. Your career is expanded in some way, there is abundance in your
career world, but there is also abundance in how you contribute, in what you
have to offer to the world, in how you affect and influence others and how the
world sees you. Your reputation is growing bigger perhaps and you may feel a bit
challenged. This Eclipse makes a square aspect with your sign and squares can
bring tension, pressure and crises. This only means that you may have to step
out of your comfort zone when it comes to your career, your mission, your
purpose, your profession. You may have to do something you’ve never done
before. This is Aries Eclipse so you are very proactive about it. You are motivated
to do it. You are encouraged to go for it even though you may doubt yourself and
you may feel insecure. Ruler of this Eclipse is Mars and Mars is in your sign. This
directly affects you and your decisions, your choices, your behavior. Your public
image is being renewed. Your role in the world is rejuvenated and refreshed. You
will be able to do some great things now. The last time this Aries/Libra series of
Eclipses was active was back between the beginning of 2004, and the beginning
of 2006, and also between the end of 2013, and the beginning of 2016. Things
you’ve been dreaming of back then may start manifesting now. Lessons you
have skipped back then may come back now so that you can learn them. Things
you’ve avoided back then may come back now to be faced. Chances you’ve
missed may come back so you can make the best of it now. This series of
Eclipses will be active in the next two years. Things about what big changes have
been happening in your life in those times, what has been happening with your
mother, with your father, with your contribution, with your reputation, with your
social status, with your own authority, with other authority figures, with your home
and family. All these areas of your life will be affected by these Eclipses. This one
now in April is the beginning, the initiation of something new in your career and a
reminder of what a true abundance in life really is, what a true contribution, an
essential contribution is. Your role in the world doesn’t have to be any mega role,
any huge role. But, if you are centered, if you know your mission, if you know
what fulfills you, if you know what kind of contribution warms you and lifts you up,
you have then found the greatest of them all, no matter how insignificant that role
may seem to others. If it fills your heart and soul instead of only filling your
pockets and body, go for it. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you don’t do things
that bring you money. But, if you do things that you do only for the sake of
earning, you cannot really feel abundance because you always worry about
temporary pleasures and survival. But when you do things that fill your heart, you
already fill up everything else and you always have more than enough. And by
following this path, you probably end up having even bigger and fuller pockets
than if you were only doing something that is for the sake of surviving and living a
comfortable life.
The Moon is one of the most influential planets in Astrology. Together with the
Sun, it forms unity. The Sun and the Moon are two eyes, two lights, silver and
gold, honey and milk, feminine and masculine, plus and minus. They are two
energies that keep things in balance. They rule the night and the day. The Moon
is all about maternal instincts; it is about emotions and different phases. It rules
our moods and the shifts of our mind and heart. The Moon represents our need
for security and stability. It rules our comfort zone, the things we’re used to—it is
our nest and our relationship with our mother but also with Mother Nature and
with our inner Goddess and inner Mother regardless of our gender. The Moon
represents nurturing energy, caring energy, nourishing energy, and it is also
associated with the mind and fluctuations of the mind. The Moon can make us
overly emotional, overly reactive, easily provoked and irritated, and it can also
make us compassionate, kind, gentle and friendly. It is always a reminder that we
have to work with our emotions and channel them in the right way. The Moon
represents people as well and their influence on us as individuals. It rules our
daily life and daily habits, and it connects our brain and our belly, our mind and
our heart, our nerves and our cells. It governs the rhythm of the body and our
routines and habits. The Moon quickly changes its phases. It moves from waning
to waxing phase, and it affects the fluids and the water in our body; water
symbolically always represents emotions, so these are emotional fluctuations,
too. The Moon is also related to receptive energy, to the feminine principle, to
instincts and intuition, rhythms and cycles. The Moon rules our digestive system
and our eating patterns related to our emotions. The Moon rules our reactions,
the way we react, our unconsciousness and unconscious patterns, our
relationship with the mother, our past, our past lives, our growing up, and our
subconscious habits. It rules our memories and our feelings that are packed with
those memories. The Moon also has a lot to do with our soul food, what feeds
our soul. The Moon has always been related to dreams, beauty, and imagination,
and it also rules fertility and pregnancy. The Moon represents our home and our
family, our roots and our ancestors and it also rules our own space and our need
for security.
In order to use the energy of the Moon in the most empowering, constructive,
useful and inspiring way, you should work with your own qualities, examine your
own values and qualities, observe yourself, investigate yourself and see what are
your qualities, virtues and values. Focus on them, express them as much as you
can, manifest your qualities, virtues and values. If you don’t know your qualities,
virtues and values, start discovering them. This is a must. If you don’t know these
things, you don’t know yourself. Make sure you express these things when it’s
hardest to express them, when you feel challenged the most, when you feel
provoked by others, express your qualities, virtues and values. This is what
counts. This is what polishes you as a human being. This is what crystalizes you.
Express your qualities with your family members, express your virtues and
qualities at your work, with your authority figures, with your father, with your
mother, with your close friends. Work on empowering these things. Amplify
yourself, train your best self, work on these things, practice being the best that
you can be. Don’t suppress your emotions. Let them exist. Let them express
themselves without hurting others or yourself. Do the best with what you already
have. Connect with the Moon, with your inner Moon as well. Imagine all phases
of the Moon within yourself. Feel how the Moon is waning and waxing within you.
Feel its brightness when it’s full and feel the rebirth and renewal when it starts
waxing after the Dark Moon phase. Do your research about the phases of the
Moon, explore the astrological meaning of the Moon, the symbolism of the Moon
and the influence of the Moon. Do your research about Eclipses too. Observe
your emotions and feelings and see how they’re fluctuating, see how they’re
changing. Keep your journal of emotions and feelings and write down how you
feel every hour. Keep it short. It doesn’t have to be a big description of how you
feel. You will see how many different states and feelings and emotions go
through you during the day. You are always going through changes and your task
is to try to rise above those fluctuations and try to observe them without being too
identified with them.
- Imagine that you are watching a world through the perspective of a bird. Feel
the life of this bird and feel its perception. Fly from one branch to another.
Communicate with nature through sounds and moves. Move from one place to
another. Connect with other birds from your nest. Tweet and rejoice each
morning. Feel the aliveness of everything around you. Feel the life through
everything. Feel the sky. Feel the air through which you move. Feel the wind.
Feel the motion. Enjoy the perspective of a bird. Fly and visit as many places as
you can.
- Every night before sleep, think about your ancestors, about those who passed
away. Think about all of them. Make a little prayer for them and ask them to help
you if they can and to let you go if they have unfulfilled desires to manifest them
through you. Tell them you want to build your own and you don't want to be
interrupted by their desires.
- Practice any kind of meditation. See what works for you. Experiment. You can
try active, dynamic meditation, walking meditation, showering meditation, running
meditation, lying meditation, sitting meditation, singing meditation, any kind of
meditation that works for you. Practice. Try to be as much present as you can, as
much focused as you can on what you are doing. If you are walking, become that
walking. If you are taking a shower, become that showering. If you are running,
become that running. If you are just sitting in silence, become that silence and so
on. Practice, experiment, grow and enjoy.
- Express your highest values every day. Observe yourself every day during the
day and catch your brightest and highest moments and increase them, boost
them even more, make them shine, enhance your qualities. Do not miss your
brightest moments, your greatest qualities and work on them. Do not focus on
your lower expression. See them and accept them, but work on your highest
expressions. Imagine that they are growing on a tree of life. They come to fruition
and feel how new ones come after them, more beautiful and stronger.
- Create your own perfect atmosphere at your place. Make everything perfect for
your meditative state, for relaxation, for making yourself feel good. Create your
own ambience and atmosphere. Your space is an extension of your energy field
and it affects you more than you can imagine. Make it beautiful, cleanse it, let
some light inside, play sounds from nature, calming sounds, refreshing and
healing, let the fresh air come in, use an incense, use a thyme, use essential oils,
purify your space, bring in new things, get rid of old things that only collect the
dust and as you do this, feel how you are doing this on an inner level too, with
your inner space and inner home. Enjoy this, enjoy your space, make yourself
feel good, make a beautiful atmosphere around you and within you.
- Take a daily walk and try to do this in the morning. Get up a bit earlier and try to
make this your first activity in the morning, before your coffee or tea, before your
breakfast, before work. First do your morning walk. Try to give your best to make
yourself do this. If you have too many obligations and duties for a day, just wake
up one hour earlier and take a walk at least half an hour and then return to your
daily activities. This will set a beautiful and relaxing tone to your whole day. But
don't take a walk with your thoughts occupied with the things you have to do
after. Enjoy this morning walk. Be present. Feel each step you take. Feel each
movement of the body. Feel your breathing. Be there. Become the walk. If you
don't make it in the morning, don't skip it. Do it any time during the day when you
can. But try to do it in the morning. Keep trying.
- Be your own best friend. Do things for yourself that you would do for your best
friend. Make yourself feel comfortable in any situation. Give yourself a gift. Take
yourself out. Spend quality time with yourself. Listen to your favorite music and
sing. Give yourself a break from usual routines and daily habits. Pick one day
where you will just do whatever it is that you want to do.
- Try to walk throughout the day without any expectations from others. Try to put
yourself into this frame of mind as much as you can. Don't expect anything. Don't
count on anybody's love and support. Decide that you are going to love and
support yourself and others without expecting anything in return. Try to live like
this. Experiment for one day, two days, three days, ten days... See where it takes
you. This doesn't mean that you are giving all the time to everyone, this only
means that you take good care of yourself and you give and love without
expecting anything in return. Experiment, practice, see how this makes you feel.
- Practice Garland Pose. Do your research about it, see what it’s good for, see
how it’s done and start practicing it. This pose is known as Malasana. This is a
very powerful pose and if you do it every day for a couple of days, you are
definitely going to experience a wonderful change physically, mentally and
emotionally.
- What are the things that emotionally drain me and exhaust me? What are the
things that emotionally provoke me and trigger me? How often do I feel
emotionally triggered and provoked? How do I deal with these things?
- Where am I putting the most of my energy, effort and action? Into what am I
investing the most of myself? What does this tell me about myself?
- What are my best reminders for self-love in life? Who and what are my greatest
teachers of self-love?
- What does my inner home feel like to me? Do I feel comfortable in my own
inner home or does it need some upgrades, renovations, innovations? What can
I do to improve my inner home?
- What are my soul’s desires? What satisfies my soul? How do I know the
difference between my egoic desires and my soul’s desires?

On the 3rd of April Mercury enters your fellow fixed sign Taurus and joins Uranus,
North node and Venus in your tenth house of career, profession, vocation,
success, reputation, social status, contribution, authority figures, father figures
and father. This area of your life has been highlighted and accentuated for a long
time and you’ve done a lot of work in this area of your life, but it’s not finished yet
when it comes to big transitions and shake ups. Of course, as long as Uranus is
here it will be shaky and challenging, but also very awakening and liberating in
your career, in your relationship with your father, in things related to your success
and public image. Mercury also goes retrograde here in your tenth house on the
21st of April and will be retrograde until the 15th of May. Mercury is direct during
the first three weeks of April and Venus is also here during the first eleven days
of the month. Expect supportive business conversations, contracts, deals,
agreements, plans and ideas for achieving your goals, concrete ideas and plans.
You are investing in your career now and with Mercury here you will probably be
learning more about things that you’re doing, learning about career, learning
more about the role that you want to play in the world, learning how to be of
service. When Mercury stations retrograde you will have enough time to
reevaluate and reconsider your career, your life path, your way of doing things
that you do. You are questioning your professional life. You are questioning your
role in the world and you will be fixing and correcting things related to your public
persona and your relationship with your father perhaps. You will have a second
chance for something in your tenth house matters. Second chance for career
success, second chance for making things right with a certain authority figure,
second chance for achieving certain goals that you’re passionate about. The Sun
enters Taurus on the 20th of April, one day prior to Mercury’s retrograde walk.
The Sun is here to help you and enlighten your life path, to show you what needs
to be done, to show you the way. The Sun represents authority, father, power,
ego, willingness and with the Sun in the tenth house in the sign of Taurus, you
will have a very strong willingness to pursue your goals, to pursue your role and
to contribute in the way you want to contribute.
Mercury makes a square aspect to Pluto in Aquarius on the 3rd of April too and
this energy can bring you some tension and possible conflict with a partner that is
related to your work, your employment, your career. Authority figures play a very
important role in your life now and you may get in conflict with someone who has
some kind of power, someone who is dominant but you’re also going to resolve
things with this person and to make things work out in the right way. This is
actually something that serves you now and this conflict or disagreement can
lead you towards something that can turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
On the 6th of April there’s a Full Moon in Libra, shining a light in your third house
of everyday connections and communications. Expect emotional conversations,
important conversations, things coming to light through conversations. Expect
news and messages that reveal something to you. You are connecting with
people and exchanging ideas and stories. Pay attention to messages and words
you hear or read in your everyday life during this time. Synchronicities are strong
and what you’re thinking about may be manifested quickly. Things are coming to
a fruition, things you’ve been working on. You may go on a short trip where you
learn something significant, something that changes your thought patterns,
something that makes you think differently, something that changes your
perspective. Your relationships with younger brothers and sisters are significant
now too, with relatives, with neighbors, with people from your local community.
You may do something with these people now, your role in the local community
may be significant. This is the energy of learning and teaching and you may learn
something that strongly affects your way of thinking and your way of
communicating with others. The ruler of this Full Moon is Venus and she’s in the
tenth house of father, career, reputation and life direction. So, this energy can
also show you something you didn’t know before related to your father, your
career, your contribution and life path.
On the 11th of April Venus enters Gemini and shines a light in your social
eleventh house of friendships, groups of people, social circles, team work,
communities, networking and also your hopes, dreams and wishes, your desires.
This is an amazing energy for your social life, your friends, your friendships, your
love life too. You are socially busy in a beautiful way. Venus here brings you a
connection with beautiful souls, with people who are charming and charismatic.
You are involved in many different communities and groups of people since this
is Gemini energy. You are in many places with many different people. If you have
some kind of community you are going to see its growth now. Venus is also a
planet of values and finances so she can bring you money and earnings through
your communities, your fans, your clients if you have them. You are enjoying time
spent with friends. You are celebrating things with others in a beautiful way. You
are enjoying good times. You are enjoying good food in good company. It is very
good energy and Venus makes a trine with Pluto too. Pluto is in your seventh
house of one-on-one relationships and this energy can bring you improvements
in relationships, beautiful encounters, harmonious partnerships and comfort
through your relationships. This is very lucky and benevolent energy for you and
you can definitely expect great things through your friendships and communities,
through your relationships and collaborations. Venus will be here until the 7th of
May.
On the same day when Venus enters Gemini, there’s another significant aspect
happening and that is the conjunction between the Sun and Jupiter. The Sun
shines a light on Jupiter while Jupiter expands the rays of the Sun and enriches
its expression. This is a very powerful combination and it brings you courage,
motivation, willpower and decisiveness. This happens in your fellow Fire sign
Aries, shining a light in your ninth house of long distance travels, international
connections, international business journeys, adventures, education, higher
education, graduation, studying, learning, teaching, advertising, marketing,
publishing, launching. This is a place of wisdom and higher meaning, spiritual
pursuits and higher knowledge, higher mind and higher self. This is a search for
truth. This is about self-knowledge and self-realization. Sun and Jupiter together
here bring you golden opportunities and possibilities for achieving great things in
these ninth house matters. This energy has already been active strongly in
March. You are gaining more wisdom and knowledge that can set you free. You
are changing your beliefs in a way that you are free from things you thought are
good for you perhaps. There are certain beliefs that can seem as very productive
and useful, but some of them may turn out to be totally imprisoning actually and
you’re freeing yourself from those kinds of limiting beliefs. This Aries energy is
extremely strong this month too and that’s not only because of the Sun and
Jupiter’s conjunction, but because there’s a Solar Eclipse happening here too
this month and this is the first Eclipse in 2023. Eclipse happens on the 20th of
April and this is the second New Moon in a row that happens in the sign of Aries.
So, these themes have already been strong last month and now they become
even more evident and enhanced. Eclipses are intense and life-changing events.
You may be traveling now or planning a long distance trip. International
connections are powerful and there are karmic connections with people who live
in different countries, who come from different cultures, religions, traditions,
nationalities and beliefs. Expect life-changing connections with people, especially
with foreigners. Your beliefs are changing in a very transformative way too. Some
of you may begin a very passionate spiritual journey now. You are inspired by
spiritual teachings in a magnificent way. You may start studying something very
significant. You are hungry for knowledge and wisdom and this hunger will unlock
many new and different paths for you.
Mars is in Cancer this whole month and this activates your twelfth house. You
may have a bit of trouble sleeping and resting. Mars is restless in the twelfth
house and also in the sign of Cancer. It cannot express itself in the best way. This
is active energy that wants to express itself outward, that wants to do things. It is
energetic and it gets things done. Twelfth house is about resting, relaxing,
dreaming, fantasizing, imagining, visualizing, singing, dancing, meditating, being,
diving deep into the ocean of yourself, exploring your depths and subconscious
realms. So, it is truly powerful if you put your energy and efforts into these kinds
of things, into spiritual work, into learning how to take a rest, how to relax, into
finding some time to be on your own. You are putting energy into subtle energies.
You are accumulating energy. Taking a walk in nature every day could be the
best thing that you can do for yourself, your vitality, your health, your drive, your
motivation and willingness. This is the best time for meditating, clearing your
mind, spending time near water, looking at the sea or any water surface, lakes,
rivers or oceans, observing the waves regardless of how small or big they are,
listening to the sound of water, listening to the sound of birds, being active in
nature, in meditation, in understanding yourself and your reactions, actions and
intentions.
Leo relationship with inner self
Dear Leo, you are exploring the journey of your soul now and you are interested
in learning more about karma, about different dimensions, about how you come
into this life, how you leave this life, what is this life, what are dreams, how do
you dream, how do you think, how do you speak, how do you breathe. These are
very deep and key questions actually but they get lost in everyday life. They
become less important in life full of obligations and work. These kinds of
questions and thoughts wake up your intuitive center. These kinds of thoughts
activate the right hemisphere of the brain and your codes of spirit and soul. You
are thinking about the soul and the spirit. What is the soul? What is the spirit?
Where do you feel them? How do you feel them? You are examining these
questions. You are searching for wisdom. You are asking what is wisdom? Who
are wise people? What you can learn from them? Do they exist? Where are
they? What do wise people do? Some of you may connect with a spiritual
teacher now. You may connect with someone who can have that kind of influence
on you. Your ninth house is very strong and active this month and you have
Jupiter here together with Chiron and the Sun and then you have the New Moon
Solar Eclipse happening here. These are blessings in these areas of your life,
spiritual blessings, blessings through knowledge and wisdom, blessings through
spiritual teachers and people who feel like spiritual teachers. You also have Mars
in your twelfth house of meditation, contemplation, relaxation, spiritual journey,
transcendence, liberation, oneness, unity, altered states, withdrawal, retreat and
self-healing. Mars is here the whole month and you are going to feel that energy
that is turned towards these subtle things, these invisible and unknown things,
these subconscious things. Subconsciousness is like an invisible monster, the
unknown and dark place that we know nothing about. The passage is narrow but
the space is infinite. Subconsciousness can be scary and ugly, hard to deal with if
you look at it from the perspective of learned behavior. But, this month you’re out
of learned behavior. You’re busting the learned behavior. You’re revealing what is
learned behavior and this can be shocking for some of you because you didn’t
know how much of your personality is built upon those learned behaviors.
Everything is consensus in this world and everyone leaves according to those
rules and regulations that are aligned with the collective, with what is acceptable,
what is considered to be “normal”, what is moral or immoral, what is good or bad.
You are breaking free from many of those learned agreements, laws and rules.
So, subconsciousness is something that becomes your obsession perhaps this
month. You may have a very strong need to learn and explore
subconsciousness, to see how it works, how it functions, where it is, what it
hides, what it holds, what it reveals. You are interested in deeper mental
processes and you will be inspired by your own material, your own mental field.
How the New Moon Solar Eclipse in April will influence Leo
Dear Leo, this New Moon is a Solar Eclipse New Moon and it happens on the
20th of April in your fellow Fire sign Aries. This is the second New Moon in a row
that happens in Aries and these themes have been strong and powerful for you
since last month. Eclipses are powerful events, karmic events, life-changing
moments that bring trajectory changes and destined goodbyes and hellos. This
one may still not be that dramatic and intense, but it is the first Eclipse in 2023,
and it’s the first one in the series of Eclipses that will be happening in Aries/Libra
in the next two years. This happens in your ninth house of higher learning, higher
education, higher mind, higher purpose, higher self and you’re asked to aim high
during this time. This is also the house of studying, learning, teaching, publishing,
advertising, traveling, connecting with people from all over the world and
expanding your visions, stretching your perception and widening your horizons.
This is a placement of beliefs, ideals, ideas, religious views, legal matters,
spiritual teachings and spiritual teachers. This is a house of wisdom and true
knowledge, of seeking truth and meaning. This New Moon happens on the last
degrees of the sign of Aries and it can bring you endings and beginnings in these
ninth house matters. The last time this series of Eclipses was active was back
between the beginning of 2004, and the beginning of 2006, and also between the
end of 2013, and the beginning of 2016. What big transitions and transformations
were happening back then in your life? What did you learn during that time?
What kind of lessons did you learn? What were crucial things that were active in
your life? Something that you missed to learn or comprehend back then will
reappear now in order to be learned, understood and acknowledged. This
doesn’t mean that it will come back in the same shape and form. Lessons can
repeat in many different ways. This is a great time for starting a learning program
that can serve you in the long run. It’s an amazing time for studying something
new, for learning something new, for starting a spiritual journey or for starting a
new cycle on your spiritual journey. This is coming for sure. You will have
Eclipses here in the next two years and this is a time of transformation of your
perception. You may be learning and transforming your perspectives during your
travels or through your connections with people who come from different cultures,
countries, traditions, religions, nationalities, beliefs and different backgrounds.
You are expanding your vision and you are very passionate about it. You have a
necessary fire for these ninth house matters. This is Aries Eclipse and Aries
energy is about the new beginnings, the courage to do things, taking risks, taking
action, moving forward. It’s about validation of the self. It’s about who you are. It’s
about your awareness of who you are. So, many of you will be on this journey of
self-discovery, on this journey of gaining self-knowledge through spiritual
teachings, through traveling, studying, through connecting with all kinds of people
in the world, through practicing spiritual discipline and through experiencing
adventures and sharing your stories with people you meet on your journey. Your
task is to discover the journey within you through experiencing the journey
through everything that happens in your life. Your task is to gain spiritual freedom
and you will definitely be supported on your way to do so. You are meeting
amazing people, different people and you’re starting to change your fixed
opinions and fixed thought patterns. They’re being purged by the fire of Aries in
this Eclipse.
The Knight strongly believes that what he does is done with the best of
intentions, that it is just and right, but he may make some mistakes along the way
because he’s not worrying about any kind of consequences. You may have to
deal with someone who’s like this in your life now, but you may also have
amazing benefits through this as well if you know how to deal with this strong and
powerful energy. The Knight is not really careful, but it doesn’t mean that he’s not
right. When this card is pulled in a reading, it means that you have a green light
to pursue your goals and ambitions, but you should also make sure that you
know what you’re doing and that you’re not just blindly following your impulses.
You may also have a need to say what you mean without really thinking about
the consequences of your words. You have a need to speak your truth no matter
what. This is sometimes good, but sometimes it is not. So, your awareness here
is needed in order to estimate and evaluate when it’s the right time to do
something, when you can say the truth, to whom, and how. This card is great for
competing. It is a card of victory. The question here is: What would you choose to
do if you knew you could not fail in what you’re doing?
The Moon is one of the most influential planets in Astrology. Together with the
Sun, it forms unity. The Sun and the Moon are two eyes, two lights, silver and
gold, honey and milk, feminine and masculine, plus and minus. They are two
energies that keep things in balance. They rule the night and the day. The Moon
is all about maternal instincts; it is about emotions and different phases. It rules
our moods and the shifts of our mind and heart. The Moon represents our need
for security and stability. It rules our comfort zone, the things we’re used to—it is
our nest and our relationship with our mother but also with Mother Nature and
with our inner Goddess and inner Mother regardless of our gender. The Moon
represents nurturing energy, caring energy, nourishing energy, and it is also
associated with the mind and fluctuations of the mind. The Moon can make us
overly emotional, overly reactive, easily provoked and irritated, and it can also
make us compassionate, kind, gentle and friendly. It is always a reminder that we
have to work with our emotions and channel them in the right way. The Moon
represents people as well and their influence on us as individuals. It rules our
daily life and daily habits, and it connects our brain and our belly, our mind and
our heart, our nerves and our cells. It governs the rhythm of the body and our
routines and habits. The Moon quickly changes its phases. It moves from waning
to waxing phase, and it affects the fluids and the water in our body; water
symbolically always represents emotions, so these are emotional fluctuations,
too. The Moon is also related to receptive energy, to the feminine principle, to
instincts and intuition, rhythms and cycles. The Moon rules our digestive system
and our eating patterns related to our emotions. The Moon rules our reactions,
the way we react, our unconsciousness and unconscious patterns, our
relationship with the mother, our past, our past lives, our growing up, and our
subconscious habits. It rules our memories and our feelings that are packed with
those memories. The Moon also has a lot to do with our soul food, what feeds
our soul. The Moon has always been related to dreams, beauty, and imagination,
and it also rules fertility and pregnancy. The Moon represents our home and our
family, our roots and our ancestors and it also rules our own space and our need
for security.
In order to channel the energy of the Moon and Eclipse in the most constructive
and empowering way, you should work with your beliefs and recognize your
strongest beliefs. See what beliefs define you and what beliefs shape your whole
world and reality. What are your beliefs about yourself? What are your beliefs
about the world you live in? What are your beliefs about spirituality, about
religion, about life, about experiences of life? You have an opportunity to renew
and refresh your beliefs now and to understand how huge role beliefs play in
everybody’s life, how certain beliefs can transform whole life, how one certain
belief can either imprison or liberate a person. These kinds of things are
important to understand in order to work with the energy of the Moon this month.
Look at how emotionally attached you are to certain beliefs. What are you
emotionally attached to? What kind of perspectives and ideals keep you
emotionally imprisoned? What are the things you cannot let go of? What are the
things you strongly hold on to? Emotional freedom is very important. Ask the
Moon to help you release emotional attachments so that you can become
emotionally mature and so that you can gain emotional freedom. Imagine the
campfire and the Moon in front of you. Imagine that you are in a beautiful place
near the water and that there is a campfire and the Moon in front of you. Feel the
connection between the fire and the Moon, the Eclipse in Aries. Feel that in your
heart and carry this image with you in order to align with this energy in the most
empowering way. You can draw an image of a campfire and the Moon near the
water, or you can find some image and print it so that you can carry that with you.
Enjoy this scenery and of course, if there is any chance that you can have this in
real life, go for it and experience it directly. But if not, the image and visualization
will work perfectly too.
- Go outside in the Sun each day whenever there is a sunny day and connect
with the Sun. Find your perfect spot for the connection with the Sun and go there.
Stand in the Sun and if you can, be naked. Find a place where you're alone. Find
some spot where you can be naked in the Sun but if you cannot do this, no
worries. You don't have to be naked. You can do it anyway. Stand in the Sun and
ask the Sun to teach you its language. Ask the Sun to upload its alphabet into
your consciousness. Ask the Sun to teach you the meaning of this alphabet and
to teach you how to communicate with it in the right way. Tell the Sun that you are
willing to learn and to manifest its highest expressions through yourself. Enjoy
the Sun and enjoy the connection.
- While you're taking a walk, close your eyes from time to time and walk with your
eyes closed for a couple of moments and then open your eyes and then again
close them and walk for a little while with your eyes closed. Practice this while
you're taking a walk outside in nature, through parks or on a flat surface where
there is no traffic. Enjoy this exercise and have fun. Feel how it is to walk like this.
Feel how you have no control in these moments and surrender each time a little
bit. Enjoy your walk and the benefits of it.
- Feel yourself as if you are in a bubble. Feel this bubble around you all the time.
Whatever it is that you are doing, be aware of this bubble. Feel how it carries you
and how you carry it. Feel this bubble as your protective shield around you. Feel
this bubble as something only you can see and feel. Feel this bubble as gentle
and nurturing energy, as your cosmic parents who guide you and protect you all
the time through thick and thin. Energize this bubble each day with your
awareness and with your breathing. Feel how this bubble moves with you and
breathes with you. Feel strong and invincible and connect with your protective
shield. Enjoy, have fun and feel nurtured, guided and taken care of.
- Open your arms wide open with your palms turned upward. Feel the energy
coming in through your palms. Feel how you are energizing and recharging your
whole body through your palms. If you can, stand in the Sun and feel the light
and warmth of the Sun piercing through your palms and stretching through your
whole body but you can also do this wherever you want, in your room or during
the night under the night sky or anywhere. Energy is always present and you feel
how you're reloading and recharging yourself through your palms. Twist yourself.
Turn around a couple of times from left to right in order to make the spiral of the
flow of this energy and feel the spiral entering your palms and spiraling through
your whole body. Enjoy the process.
- Salute nature every day. Every day when you wake up, salute the four elements
and nature, salute everything in nature and be aware that everything is alive. Be
aware of the aliveness of nature during the whole day every day. Salute flowers
and plants, trees and the grass, insects and animals but also rocks and stones.
They are also very much alive. There is huge energy inside of them. Salute their
patience and endurance and ask rocks and stones to teach you some of those
things. Salute water, rivers, oceans. Salute the stars and planets. Salute the Sun
and the Moon. Salute all other beings and entities that we're unable to detect and
notice with our naked eye.
- Celebrate something each day. Each day find one thing to celebrate and really
feel the joy. Make a celebration time. There is something to celebrate every day.
Once you start doing this you will see how many things there are to celebrate in
life.
- Imagine each day of your life as if it is a really unique and irrevocable day in
your life. Feel each day as a universe for itself. Say this out loud each day when
you wake up in your own way to affirm this and really feel this and live this as an
ultimate truth. Spend your day knowing this and feeling this and living this.
- Learn something new. Read something new. Take a book you've never read so
far each day and open it randomly and read a new paragraph, new sentence,
new thought. See what it has to tell you. See what it delivers to you. Learn new
motions. Learn new skills. Learn new words each day, new words of your native
language and new words of other languages too. Learn about the meaning of
symbols each day. Have fun, educate yourself, improve your knowledge and
enjoy.
- Stretch your time. Whenever you are in a hurry, stop and start doing things
slowly. Do not hurry. It will only make you have to hurry even more and time will
shrink. Instead, take your time. It doesn't matter that time ticks away on the clock.
Take your time to do things normally just as you would if you haven't been in any
kind of hurry. Test this experiment and you will see that time will actually stretch
and you will have more time to finish and do everything you have to. So, don't
hurry if you are late. Take your time. If you generally feel that you have no time
for many things during the day, take longer time for everything that you're doing.
Do one thing at a time and don't think about the next thing you have to do. Just
be in that present activity where you already are. Remember, take your time and
don't hurry.
- Practice Reclined Twist pose. Do your research about it. See what it’s good for.
See how it’s done and start practicing it. This pose is very powerful and it relaxes
you immediately. It has many benefits and it really feels good doing it. Enjoy.
- What are my burdens in life right now? What are the things that I consider as
burdens in my life? What does this tell me about myself?
- What are the things in my life that I don’t want to do anymore? What are the
things that I don’t want to repeat?
- What do I feel when I think of my life path? What are my first associations,
images, thoughts, feelings and emotions that come up when I think of my life
path? How would I describe my life path? What does this tell me about myself?
- What are the things that I believe in and what are the things that I just know,
that I don’t have to believe in because I just know them?
- What is the most inspiring and magical conversation that I have ever had in my
life? How often do I have those kinds of conversations? When was the last time I
had any similar conversation with someone, including myself?
VIRGO
On the 3rd of April your ruler Mercury enters Taurus and joins Venus, Uranus and
North node in your ninth house of long distance travel, foreigners, international
connections, international business, beliefs, ideals, religious views, spiritual
journey, spiritual teachers, learning, writing, teaching and studying. You have a
lot going on here and this area of your life has been shaken up a lot. Uranus is
here so you can expect continuous shake ups of your beliefs, your perspectives,
your travels and living abroad perhaps, your ability to see the bigger picture and
your spiritual journey. Mercury is here now and it’s direct until the 21st. It's a great
time for traveling and communicating, for learning and teaching, for passing
exams or for getting some license or diploma. You may be transferring
knowledge in some way. This is a time when unexpected travel can pop up but
it’s also a time when sudden and out of the blue insights happen, sudden
realizations that transform your perception. Your beliefs have changed a lot,
especially since 2019, and this is a long process of transforming your beliefs,
religious views, your philosophy of life, your perception and your spiritual
practices. Mercury then stations retrograde on the 21st of April and will stay
retrograde until the 15th of May. You may revisit some places you’ve visited
before. You may revisit countries you’ve been to before. You can expect people
from overseas to come and visit you perhaps, people you haven’t seen in a
while, or you may travel to reconnect with someone. It is also a great time for
coming back to something you used to learn, going back to school, going back to
studying something you used to enjoy studying. This is a time for finishing the
unfinished business and for questioning your beliefs, questioning your spiritual
journey. You are reevaluating your view on life. Life seems different. Things don’t
have the same power over you. Things that used to make you sad or happy lose
their effect and influence on you. On the 20th of the month the Sun joins the party
here and brings you new rays of light in your perception, new filters through
which you observe reality and yourself. Are you searching for the meaning or is
the meaning searching for you?
On the 6th of April there’s a Full Moon in Libra in your second house of finances,
earnings, money, values, possessions, resources, gifts and talents, self-worth
and priorities. Libra is about relationships and commitments, collaborations and
partnerships and this Full Moon can bring you business relationships and
partnerships, financial partnerships of some kind. You can expect fulfillments in
your financial world. Something may finally come to a fruition related to your
money projects, your financial situation and your self-esteem too. Something
may also culminate now in areas of your finances and earnings. You may have to
do something that gets you out of your comfort zone when it comes to earning
money and using your resources. Your gifts, talents, abilities and capacities can
become a great source of income. If you’ve made some purchases lately, you
can expect to finally receive them now. You may ask for a raise and it is actually
a good time to do so if you know your worth and you know you deserve it. If
you’ve been working too hard lately without any recognition, you may change
your attitude and behavior now because you finally become aware of how
valuable and worthy is the thing that you’re doing. You may have to take a closer
look at your finances now and change what needs to be changed. Adjust your
spendings and savings and see how you’re using your resources, how you’re
earning and how you're using them.
On the 11th of April Venus enters Gemini and shines a light on top of your chart,
in your tenth house of father, father figures, authority figures, success, external
and material security and stability, contribution, career, profession, vocation,
reputation. This is beautiful transit for you and your success and you can expect
recognition or promotion during this time. Something powerful can happen in
your career and with your role in the world especially because Venus also makes
a trine with Pluto in Aquarius. This can have a very beneficial influence on your
work and schedules. You can receive a great offer for work. Your daily work
improves and you have more space, health, energy and motivation to do things
that you enjoy doing. Venus in your tenth house is all about doing the work that
you love doing, contributing in a way that satisfies you and fulfills you, doing
beautiful and loving things. Your charm is amazing and you can shine when it
comes to your profession and career. This is something beautiful on your life
path, something big and powerful perhaps since Pluto is involved in a friendly
way. Others recognize your worth now. You have changed your attitude. You
have realized your own worth. You know what you’re capable of and you have no
doubts about yourself. You may be more in public now. You are beautifying your
public image and you attract good opportunities for success. You bring joy and
love in things that you do. Is it worth doing something just for the sake of earning
money if there is no pleasure, if there is no feedback, if there is no motivation?
On the same day when Venus enters Gemini, you have the Sun and Jupiter
conjunction in fiery Aries in your eighth house of transformations, intimacy,
shared intimacy, shared resources, partnerships, intimate and business
partnerships, taxes, loans, debts, bills, credits, pensions, passive income,
partner’s money or somebody else’s money, secrets, things that are hidden,
unknown and unconscious. Sun and Jupiter together here can bring you some
financial blessings and blessings in your intimate world. Positive transformations
are highlighted, lucky circumstances with your investments and your debts and
credits. You can resolve some of your financial issues if you have any, but you
can also dig deep and resolve some of the more profound things within yourself.
You are investigating yourself and you’re discovering some flowers in bloom now.
Last time you checked it didn’t look so pretty, but you’ve separated wheat from
the chaff and you’ve made it. Now you’re seeing the results. Your fears don’t
seem so important and big anymore. Your fears have shrunk and they search for
a safe space. You are not dealing with your fears now. You’re dealing with your
power.
This area of your chart is very powerful and strong this whole month and it’s been
highly activated last month too. This happens because there’s another New
Moon happening here in Aries, but this one happens to be a New Moon Solar
Eclipse. This is a big theme and big event. It brings karmic and destined events,
big changes and trajectory shifts. Eclipse happens on the 20th and it brings you
big initiations into personal transformations. You are going to deal with your own
intimacy, with your shared resources, with your secrets and vulnerabilities in the
next two years. This is the area of death, rebirth and transformation, intimacy,
trust and loyalty, secrets, taboo themes and things that are kept hidden, things
that are beneath the surface. Your partner may receive some extra money during
this time or your family money may be renewed and refreshed in some way.
Something is ending so that something new can take its place in these eighth
house matters. This Eclipse is very strong because it is next to Jupiter and
Jupiter expands everything it touches. This is something big and bright that
brings you light and transformation. Fire of inner vision is lit up and you’re
carrying the torch that enlightens your journey. You may be investing in
something now and you’re probably very passionate and inspired about it. You
are more interested in investigating the hidden side of life, the hidden nature of
life and the less known side of yourself.
Mars is in Cancer this whole month in your eleventh house of friendships and
communities, connections and networking, dreams, wishes and hopes. You may
feel overly protective towards your friends and people from your community. You
may have a need to defend someone now. You are putting energy into your
social circles and friendships. You are also putting energy into manifesting your
highest aspirations. You may be a bit obsessed with certain goals and plans for
the future. Mars here is great for healthy socializing and for doing things together
with others, for playing some outdoor game with your friends regardless of how
old you are. It’s a great time for nurturing the healthy child within you and for
expressing your inner child every now and then. Play football if you feel like
playing football. Run and jump if you feel like it. Play frisbee. Play basketball.
Ride a bike with a friend. Take fast walks everyday with people you feel good
around. Do all kinds of activities with others that boost your energy and that
make you connect with others in a healthy and profound way. You can reset your
stress by doing these kinds of things with people you feel connected with. Give it
a try.
How the New Moon Solar Eclipse in April will influence Virgo
Dear Virgo, this New Moon happens on the 20th of April and this is the highest
peak of Aries energy, the very end of the sign, the Sun and the Moon are both at
the very end of the sign of Aries together with Jupiter in your eighth house of
death, rebirth, transformation, secrets, hidden things, traumas, unconscious
desires, things that are buried under the surface, things you don’t know, shadow
work, investigation, research, psychology and parapsychology, metaphysical side
of life, things you’re ashamed of, things you hide. This is also a house of shared
resources, shared intimacy, shared life with another person, your partner’s
money or somebody else’s money, family’s money, money you share with others,
taxes, loans, debts, bills, credits, pensions, inheritances and mortgages. This is
one complex placement and it is also a house of karmic debts, psychological
processes, parapsychology, occult knowledge and teachings, power and
manipulations. This is a scorpionic house and you’ve already had the New Moon
in Aries in March. This is the second New Moon in Aries in a row but it is very
different from the one in March. March New Moon happened on the very first
degrees of the sign while this one happens on the very last degrees of the sign.
This New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse New Moon and this is the first Eclipse in
2023, and it marks the beginning of a new series of Eclipses that will be active in
the next two years in the axis of Aries/Libra. The last time this series of Eclipses
happened in this same area of your life was back between the beginning of 2004,
and the beginning of 2006, and also between the end of 2013, and the beginning
of 2016. Think back to these periods of time and see what big transitions and
changes were active in your life back then? What big lessons have you been
through? What was happening in your financial world, with money, with
resources, with your intimacy, with your sexuality, with your inner world, with your
traumas, with your vulnerabilities, with your shadow work, with death themes.
This doesn’t mean that anything similar will happen now. That’s impossible since
everything is different and there are no two same Eclipses or lunations ever
happening. But the same area of your life is affected and some lessons that
haven’t been learned during that time may become active again in order to be
learned, understood, released and acknowledged. This Eclipse brings endings
and beginnings in these eighth house matters and it initiates some new storyline
that will be active in your life in the next two years. You are maybe dealing with
some secrets now and you’re making things right. You are going through a
healing process and you’re very motivated and inspired when it comes to
self-investigation and self-discovery. Some of you may start therapy during this
time. Psychology and parapsychology are strong themes now. You may be
dealing with your unconscious fears and attachments, with your hidden world,
with things you’ve suppressed and repressed, with things you’re ashamed of,
with things you’re afraid of. Expect positive results and great new possibilities for
resolving your past traumas and for detoxifying yourself, for letting out the poison
from your system. You can expect something new related to your family’s money,
your investments, your shared resources. Expect some initiation related to your
inheritance or to your partner’s money. You may be busy resolving your debts if
you have any and you may also receive money through others now, through
inheritance, through passive income, through sponsorship of some kind or
through investments. Something is ending and something is beginning and these
are big shifts and changes. Eighth house is house of transformation and
metamorphosis, death and rebirth, it is a Phoenix rising from the ashes and being
reborn. In the same way, you’re now turning into ashes all things that are not
serving you and you’re using that fire as an initiatory fire for rebirth.
This card means that whatever it is that you’re facing that is difficult now, it will
pass. You’re about to discover that your fears, worries, anxieties and stress have
no real foundations now. These feelings slowly disappear and you’re becoming
ready for action. You see the light at the end of the tunnel. You are that light and
help and support are on their way to you. This can also mean that you’re going
through something painful from the past. You are replaying a painful memory or
trauma. You’re re-experiencing something that has happened before. Something
may be haunting you but it’s time to leave it behind. It is time to step out of it, to
focus on the new, to focus on action, to focus on well-being and self-healing, to
focus on that light at the end of the tunnel, to focus on your qualities, to focus on
qualities that you’re yet to awaken and develop. Self-care methods and
techniques are very welcomed. Don’t judge and criticize yourself. Know that
whatever it is that tortures you is already behind you. It has passed. Don’t
hesitate to search for help during this time. Help from others is very much
needed and you can actually have many benefits through the help and support of
others. Focus on practical things. Be practical. Write down how you feel. Keep
your journal. Express your inner state of being and know that whatever it is that
you’re going through, it will pass and everything will be okay.
In order to channel the energy of Venus in the most constructive and empowering
way, you should work with Venusian energy, connect with your inner Venus,
awaken and trigger Venusian qualities and symbols in your life. Bring more
beauty into your life. Do things that you enjoy doing. Choose at least one thing
during the day that you will do with pleasure and joy, that you feel satisfied with,
that you truly fully enjoy and that is at the same time useful, that can be of
service to others. Bring more beauty into your work, into your contribution to
others. Think about your contribution to society, to those around you, to people
you influence and think about how you influence other people. Do your best to
contribute in a beautiful way, whatever your contribution is, it can be anything, it
doesn’t have to be something spectacular and huge. It is already spectacular and
huge when you do it from the heart. So, put your heart into things that you’re
doing, especially in those little acts of kindness towards others in your life. Work
on bringing harmony in your relationships with authority figures, with father
figures, with your father. Beautify your working space if you have one. Bring
flowers, smell flowers, look at beautiful things, do things that you love, enjoy food
that you eat, put love into your food, wear beautiful clothes and feel beautiful. Try
to put more effort into your style, into your image, into how the world perceives
you. Give space for beauty in your life. Make sure that you enjoy and love things
that you do, things that you eat, things that you drink, things that you wear.
Awaken the principle of Venus within you, the sense for beauty, harmony, love
and true values. Recognize values in your work, in your talents, in your
profession, in your contribution. Find true values and let love guide you. Do your
research about Venus and her meaning in astrology, her symbology. Venus
brings comfort and luxury and this luxury doesn’t necessarily have to be material
luxury but it can be about the luxury of knowing your true values and living by
those values. You can carry the symbol of Venus with you during this time and
connect with her. Let her guide you. Ask her to teach you and to show you the
way.
- Sit down and close your eyes. Make yourself feel comfortable and relaxed. Take
a couple of deep breaths through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
Now, as you inhale, feel all the newness, freshness and lightness being inhaled
in you and as you exhale, feel all the stress, all the toxins, all the anger, all the
suppressed emotions, all impurities being exhaled and transformed into that
brightness, lightness, freshness and newness that you're inhaling. Repeat this for
some time. Do this for at least three minutes. Tap into a trance while you're doing
it. Enjoy it and feel the process of cleansing through breathing.
- Create your own talisman or amulet. Create it with anything that you want. Be
creative. You can choose certain items and pendants that you already have. You
can use an old coin if you have one. You can use old pendants and parts of it.
You can also go outside and ask your world to help you find a perfect piece for
your talisman. You can also go outside and search for items in nature. You can
find a perfect little stone or a piece of wood that you can use as your sacred item.
Talk to this talisman that you're creating. Inhale spirit into it. Inhale life into it. Feel
yourself as a creator. Enjoy the process and use your talisman or an amulet as
your protection and guidance.
- Take yourself somewhere from where you have a high view of the city. You can
go on a hill or on a mountain, or anywhere from where you can have that kind of
view, it doesn't matter, just take yourself to a certain height from where you can
have a bigger picture view of things. As you observe and absorb the wideness of
the landscape in front of you, feel how your perception and your emanation
widens and stretches as well. Feel yourself as this landscape. Feel your being as
this big vast space, infinite and beautiful. And whenever you feel small, whenever
you feel that you are too immersed into details, whenever you feel that you're
obsessed by something and too much imprisoned into a framed limited view,
remember this bigger picture view. Take yourself again to places from where you
can feel this wider horizon and integrate this image into your heart. Update this
image each time you go again. You can also visualize vast space and horizons,
landscapes that are just mind blowing and get into that state. Feel it and embrace
it and let it embrace you too.
- Put your right hand on your chest and your left hand on your back so that both
of your hands are at the same height. One is on your chest in front of you, the
other is on your back and the solar plexus is between your hands. If you have
trouble placing your left hand on your back, don't worry, use only your right hand
on your chest and start singing. Feel the vibrations through your hands and
through your whole body as you sing. Don't just sing any words, sing voices,
those primal sounds, sing vowels “A E I O U” in any order and in any type of
melody or just say them in a prolonged way like aaaa, oooooo and so on. Feel
your voice. Feel the power of your whole body. As you do this, you create a link
with the higher centers that are within you. You are awakening these forgotten
powerful tools within you. Have fun and enjoy.
- Each day when you wake up ask the day to lead you, to guide you, to take care
of you. Speak to the day that is in front of you to unfold in the best way for you.
Ask the day to protect you and to enlighten your path. Ask the day to give you
signs and to deliver you messages that are on their way to you. Ask the day to
deliver them in the right time and at the right place. Let it know that you're ready
to receive messages that are finding their way to you.
- Make sure you spend at least one hour daily doing self-maintenance. You owe it
to yourself. It can be anything you really enjoy, taking a walk, taking a bath,
turning off everything and turning on your favorite music, dancing, screaming, just
doing nothing, relaxing, enjoying your favorite meal or your favorite drink, reading
a book, journaling, exercising, meditating, gardening, anything you find fulfilling
for you and your soul. Enjoy and make it brilliant.
- Practice Threading the Needle pose. Do your research about it. See how it’s
done and what are the benefits of doing it and start practicing it. This pose is
called Urdhva Mukha Pasasana. Enjoy doing it. Practice every day. It’s very
simple and comforting, very beneficial and meditative.
- What describes me the most? What are the top five things that describe me the
most? What am I recognizable for?
- What am I truly and really enjoying doing in life? What contributions that I am
making in my life right now are enjoyable, uplifting, fulfilling and satisfying? Do I
do things that satisfy me on a soul level?
LIBRA
On the 3rd of April Mercury enters Taurus and joins Uranus, North node and your
ruler Venus in your eighth house of shared resources, shared money, shared life,
your intimacy, your secrets or somebody else’s secrets, your power struggles,
taxes, loans, debts, inheritances, pension, passive incomes, investments. There
is a big focus on these areas of your life now and you can expect important
conversations with your business partner or intimate partner that is related to
money and investments. You are dealing with these things now. You are dealing
with your shared resources and with some karmic debts and you’re resolving
these things. Mercury here gives you good communication and it’s a lot about
finances and perhaps some financial secrets that you’re discovering or opening
up about. This is also a house of deep psychological processes, unconscious
things, things that are beneath the visible realm, things that happen on an
unconscious level. This is also a house of occult knowledge, of things that are
hidden, things you’re afraid of perhaps, things you want to keep hidden and
some of these things may be coming out and you will be supported to deal with
them. You will be able to talk about things you’re usually afraid of. You will be
able to communicate about your fears, about your sexuality, about death, about
all taboo themes. This area of your life has been accentuated for quite some time
and you’ve experienced many shake ups in your intimate world, with your shared
resources, with your own personal transformations already. Uranus is here and
it’s no surprise that you’ve been through a lot of mental, emotional and financial
earthquakes. Mercury will be here until the 11th of June due to its retrograde
motion. Mercury stations retrograde on the 21st of April and will be retrograde
until the 15th of May. During this time you can expect a lot of ideas and thoughts
from the past resurrecting, people from your past reappearing, money that
somebody owed to you may come back to you now suddenly and unexpectedly.
This can also reconnect you with an intimate partner from your past in some way
so that certain things can be resolved and released or a past issue with your
existing intimate or business partner may show up again so that it can be fixed
and corrected. You are finishing the unfinished business in these eighth house
matters. You are dealing with something inside of you that’s been problematic or
traumatic in the past but that now has a totally different vibe so that you can face
it and complete it. The Sun also enters Taurus on the 21st, on the same day
when Mercury stations retrograde and will help you to get a clearer picture of
what needs to be brought to light, what needs to be healed, what needs to be
transformed, what loss needs to be accepted. You may become more devoted to
self-work, inner work, shadow work. You are dealing with your toxins and you’re
working on clearing and cleaning things from your space.
On the 6th of April there’s a Full Moon happening in your sign and this is all about
you. The focus is on you, on your wants and needs, your direction in life, your
behavior, your identity, your personality, your individuality. Who you are, what do
you want, where are you going, what makes you you? These questions are
always amplified and their meaning is enhanced and magnified during the time of
the Full Moon in your sign. You are discovering something about yourself that
you’ve been unaware of before. You are seeing something that you’ve been
avoiding related to how you live your life, how you behave, how you pursue your
goals and ambitions. What are your compromises? Where do you feel as if
you’ve compromised too much? There are culminations in your personal life and
you’re experiencing some kind of endings and completions. You’re saying
goodbye to something and it feels good. What do you want to say goodbye to?
You are very well supported to do so now. You are thinking about your past and
your future and you shouldn’t get lost in those thoughts. Remember that you are
the present moment. This Full Moon reveals to you something about yourself and
this can happen through your personal relationships too.
On the 11th of April your ruler Venus enters your fellow Air sign Gemini and
shines a light in your ninth house of long distance travels, international
connections, international business, higher education, higher learning, higher
mind, higher meaning, higher self. Venus will be here until the 7th of May and
you can expect some really positive, helpful and friendly events, connections,
relationships and situations. You can enjoy your travels if you’re traveling. You
may go visit beautiful places and meet beautiful people along the way. Some of
you may get into a love relationship with someone who lives in a different
country, someone who speaks a different language, someone who comes from a
different background, different religion, different nationality, different tradition.
This doesn’t have to be a love relationship of course, it can be a good friendship
too. You may also travel with your lover or with a good friend. This is also very
good energy for studying, for learning, for publishing and launching things, for
transferring knowledge, for spiritual practice, for upgrading your knowledge about
something that really matters to you, something that brings you joy and pleasure.
You are learning things that you love and you are teaching things that you love
and enjoy. Venus makes a positive and friendly aspect to Pluto when she enters
Gemini on the 11th and this is powerful for your business, your hobbies, your
talents, your children, your love life and your creativity. Pluto is now in Aquarius in
your fifth house of love, romance, children, creativity, self-expression and
self-esteem. This beautiful energy can bring you international business, upgrade
in love life, children, you may travel with your children and have a wonderful
beautiful time or your children may travel somewhere. Your spiritual journey is
shining brightly and mighty too and you can learn things that are very powerful
during this time. You discover the true power of love as a state of being and your
spiritual practice becomes very strong. You have an ability now to transform a
torture of the mind into the supportive mental discipline that serves your highest
principles.
On the same day when Venus enters Gemini and trines Pluto, there’s another
very strong and benevolent aspect happening and that is the conjunction
between the Sun and Jupiter in your opposite sign of Aries. This area of your life
has already been very strongly affected and influenced last month and now it
becomes even stronger. This is about your relationships, your one-on-one
relationships and there’s something very positive and beneficial happening in
your one-on-one connections. Expect something really amazing, inspiring,
motivating and encouraging. Your relationships will be very powerful now and you
feel fully protected and guided in your relationships. This can be someone new or
people you already know, but you feel very good around someone and there’s a
very strong energy of trust and optimism between you and somebody. You can
expect some big partnership opportunities, big collaborations, and amazing new
possibilities for collaborating. This area of your life is hugely activated now and
there’s a very important thing happening here in April, and that is Eclipse in Aries.
This is the second New Moon in a row in Aries and it affects your commitments,
collaborations and partnerships. This is about your own integrity in relationships
too. Is there something that you cannot put up with in a certain relationship and
you just need to stand up for yourself in that relationship? This energy will give
you what’s needed to express yourself in your relationships. Have you been
neglecting yourself for the sake of the security of a certain relationship? If that’s
so, you’re going to feel the change within yourself and this New Moon Solar
Eclipse initiates a whole new chapter in your relationship world. This is the
beginning of a new Eclipse cycle that will be happening in Aries/Libra for the next
two years. The last time this happened was back between the beginning of 2004,
and the beginning of 2006, and also between the end of 2013, and the beginning
of 2016. What big transformations, reconnections, disconnections, unions and
separations have been going on in your life during that time? What big lessons
have you learned back then? You may see some of those lessons coming back
now in order to be learned if you’ve missed something. This affects your
marriage, your divorce, your unions, your unity, your partnerships of all kinds.
These are karmic and destined events happening now and it will be very
important for you and your personal journey. Something big is changing and
shifting in your one-on-one relationships.
Mars is the ruler of Aries and the ruler of this Eclipse, the ruler of your seventh
house of relationships and it’s in Cancer this whole month. It’s in its fall when in
Cancer. This happens on top of your chart, in your fellow Cardinal sign Cancer
and Mars is pushing you in your career world and you may experience some
changes, challenges and possible frustrations in your career, in your profession,
with your father or with father figures, with your mother perhaps too, with anyone
who has that dominant energy in your life. You are putting energy into your
career. You are putting energy and effort into your public image, into your
reputation, into your contribution. You may have to do something that is outside
of your comfort zone now. You may experience some kind of passive aggression
with your boss, with your employer, with someone you work with but you can
transform all of this once you know how this energy works and you can use this
Mars in Cancer to protect your reputation, to protect your position and your role
in the world, to be persistent and if you have any sense of urgency, take it easy
and don’t rush. Mars in Cancer is very protective and defensive and you may
have that kind of attitude in your work and career. But you can have that
protective role in somebody’s life and you can actually do something that you
usually don’t do and this can bring you positive outcomes. You have courage to
show yourself in the world and to present yourself, to be more in the public if
that’s needed, to let your voice be heard and to have a positive, empowering and
motivating influence on others around you, to be a healthy authority to others.
How the New Moon Solar Eclipse in April will influence Libra
Dear Libra, this New Moon is a Solar Eclipse New Moon and it’s very significant
for you. It has a huge impact on your relationships and your partnerships. This
affects you directly and it activates key areas of your house. This New Moon
Solar Eclipse happens on the 20th of April in the sign of Aries and this is the
second New Moon in a row that happens in the sign of Aries, but these two New
Moons are not the same of course. First one happened on the very first degrees
of the sign while this one happens on the very last degrees of the sign. This New
Moon is also an Eclipse and this is the first Eclipse in 2023, and it also marks the
beginning of the new Eclipse cycle that will be happening in Aries and Libra in
the next two years. Eclipses are game changers. They bring things and people
into our lives that are meant to be there and they also take away things and
people that are meant to be removed from our life in many different shapes and
forms. But this is a process and things don’t happen overnight when Eclipses are
in the game. This is a process and this first Eclipse in this series of Eclipses is
showing you what it's gonna be about and how it’s gonna affect you. This is just
the beginning and it’s about initiation and ending at the same time. Something
begins and something ends and this is happening in your relationships sector, in
your one-on-one relationships, your marriage, your union, your business
partnership, your social relationships, your friendships and all your one-on-one
relationships. The last time this Eclipse was active and was activating the same
areas of your life was back between the beginning of 2004, and the beginning of
2006, and also between the end of 2013, and the beginning of 2016. What big
things were happening back then in your life? What big changes and
transformations do you remember? What are your feelings like when you think
back to these periods of time? Something was happening in your close personal
relationships or in your other one-on-one relationships that changed you, that
transformed your relationship with yourself and your behavior, that changed who
you are and how you live your life. Some lessons that you have skipped back
then may come back during this time to be learned. Some lessons may need to
be repeated and you may be tested and challenged when it comes to certain
lessons that you’ve learned because you’re asked to apply those lessons. Pay
close attention to your relationships and your place within your relationships, your
feelings in your relationships. This is something that is meant to be between you
and someone. This can be a marriage, an engagement, a friendship, a business
partnership that is very important, very significant. Next two years your
relationship with others and with yourself are crucial for your soul’s journey and
your shadow work. You will be experiencing a lot of cleansing energy through
your one-on-one relationships and through your own personal desires, wants and
needs. You may see someone you already know in a new way or you may see
someone new and feel as if you know this person forever. You may feel like you
have many memories together even though you see this person for the first time
in your life. These are strange feelings and Eclipses are like that, a bit strange, a
bit karmic, a bit otherworldly. You can hear your name in many places and in
people’s hearts, and you recognize yourself in others while your name echoes to
the stars.
The importance of your intuition is great now, and you are asked to follow your
heart. This is also a calling for a spiritual journey, and it asks you to take some
time out, to allow yourself to be quiet, to be still, to receive insights, and to allow
yourself different learning experiences. This is about Divine knowledge; it’s not
something that can be rationally explained. It cannot be logically understood. It is
that moment when you just know that something is right for you or that something
is not right for you. Allow your intuition to guide you now. You can also expect
very powerful advice from someone during this time, unusual advice. Maybe it
will be a bit mysterious as well, but it will be revealed to you. You may know
something you can’t explain during this time. Some of you may start a powerful
therapy during this time as well. You may connect with a powerful woman. This is
an archetype of a powerful woman, a healing woman, a female shaman, a
female psychic, a wise woman—you can expect this kind of figure in your life
during this time. This card also means that it is the perfect time for meditation, for
prayers, for rituals, for inner knowledge. You are introduced to the unknown and
you’re initiated into it. Answers to your questions are within you. Don’t forget this.
There could be a female figure who could help you find your direction during this
time. You may be standing in front of a big dilemma in your life, and this card
suggests that you are learning to access your inner wisdom, your higher powers
where you’ll find the answer. You are asked to listen to your emotions, your
feelings, to rely more on your intuition than on your thought patterns. You are
called to connect with your inner Divine feminine, with your inner High Priestess.
This card means that you are now ready to receive this knowledge and to follow
her voice.
The Moon is one of the most influential planets in Astrology. Together with the
Sun, it forms unity. The Sun and the Moon are two eyes, two lights, silver and
gold, honey and milk, feminine and masculine, plus and minus. They are two
energies that keep things in balance. They rule the night and the day. The Moon
is all about maternal instincts; it is about emotions and different phases. It rules
our moods and the shifts of our mind and heart. The Moon represents our need
for security and stability. It rules our comfort zone, the things we’re used to—it is
our nest and our relationship with our mother but also with Mother Nature and
with our inner Goddess and inner Mother regardless of our gender. The Moon
represents nurturing energy, caring energy, nourishing energy, and it is also
associated with the mind and fluctuations of the mind. The Moon can make us
overly emotional, overly reactive, easily provoked and irritated, and it can also
make us compassionate, kind, gentle and friendly. It is always a reminder that we
have to work with our emotions and channel them in the right way. The Moon
represents people as well and their influence on us as individuals. It rules our
daily life and daily habits, and it connects our brain and our belly, our mind and
our heart, our nerves and our cells. It governs the rhythm of the body and our
routines and habits. The Moon quickly changes its phases. It moves from waning
to waxing phase, and it affects the fluids and the water in our body; water
symbolically always represents emotions, so these are emotional fluctuations,
too. The Moon is also related to receptive energy, to the feminine principle, to
instincts and intuition, rhythms and cycles. The Moon rules our digestive system
and our eating patterns related to our emotions. The Moon rules our reactions,
the way we react, our unconsciousness and unconscious patterns, our
relationship with the mother, our past, our past lives, our growing up, and our
subconscious habits. It rules our memories and our feelings that are packed with
those memories. The Moon also has a lot to do with our soul food, what feeds
our soul. The Moon has always been related to dreams, beauty, and imagination,
and it also rules fertility and pregnancy. The Moon represents our home and our
family, our roots and our ancestors and it also rules our own space and our need
for security.
In order to make the most out of this Moon’s energy, in order to use the energy of
the Moon in the most powerful and constructive way, you should work on your
emotional intelligence, work on emotional independence and emotional maturity
through allowing yourself to feel all that there is to feel without suppressing and
rejecting your emotions and feelings. Let those emotions come out right through
you. Let them get out by allowing them to pass through you. Speak with your
emotional body. Imagine your emotional body as a tree with big and rich
branches, leaves and fruits. Water this tree. Nurture it. Nourish it. Take good care
of this tree. Make it the most beautiful tree that you can. Make it the most
powerful everlasting tree ever. Turn it into the most magical place that there is.
Observe your emotions as leaves and fruits of the tree and know that they’re not
yours and they’re not there forever. There are different seasons and different
stages of their processes. There is a time when these fruits fall on their own,
once they’re ready for it. There’s also a time when leaves fall so that the new
ones can grow. You have to allow your emotions to grow and to allow them to fall
away when the time is right. You also have to take care of the whole tree despite
the fact that some fruits or leaves or branches may not be the best. These are all
natural processes and you should start observing your emotions as something
totally natural. Nurture yourself even when you are not aligned with emotions and
know that you are not your emotions. They come and go and they have
something to show you and something to teach you. Treat them in that way
instead of attaching yourself too strongly to them. Have a healthy approach to
your emotions and nurture yourself despite everything. Take good care of
yourself despite all laziness, all fears, all obstacles, all struggles and despite all
comfort too, despite all the happiness and goodness, despite all the luxury and
abundance too. Never forget to nurture yourself, your roots, the roots of the tree
of life that you are.
- Find a shape that perfectly describes your current state of being. Find any kind
of shape, geometric shape, shape that you invent, shape that you see in nature
or somewhere around you. Choose one shape that you can relate to and
contemplate on that shape. Observe it for some time and then close your eyes
and continue observing it. Imagine yourself as this shape and see how it makes
you feel to be this shape. See if you want to change this shape while you're
there. Observe your feelings and thoughts. See where this shape takes you.
Draw it and carry it with you. Ask this shape something that is significant to you
right now. Play with it and have fun.
- Pack your intention into something. It can be your favorite lucky item, your lucky
pendant, your lucky bracelet, your lucky pen, it can be a rose too, it can be a
crystal, anything you are connected to and if there is nothing like that, find
something to connect with in that way. Energize it with your own energy, hold it in
your hands and connect with it. Set your intention into this package. Feel how
you are packing your intention and how you’re sending it further into the
laboratory of intentions, into the fabric of wishes. Think well about your intention
and meditate on it while you're packing it. Do this daily. Do a little meditation with
your packed intention and enjoy the process.
- Imagine yourself as an old rust and as a tool for removal of this rust at the same
time. As a rust, feel how persistent, stubborn and fixed it is. Feel how hard it is to
be removed, to be cleaned, and then feel yourself as a vinegar that cleanses this
rust. Feel how you are removing it. You are touching it and scratching it. Feel
yourself as both, rust and vinegar and feel both processes. Try to apply this
process in your life, with your emotional and mental patterns that are rusty,
stubborn, persistent and that are destructive for you.
- Practice effortless state of being as much as you can. Every day, use one part
of the day where you are going to be totally effortless. Don’t put any effort into
anything, not even an effort to be effortless. Try to be totally relaxed. You will
soon notice how hard this is. Mind will take you in many directions but you have
to try to let it go. In the beginning, you will have to put an effort into not putting an
effort, but as you keep practicing, effort will fall away itself. This is an effortless
meditation, no imaginations, no visualizations, just breathing and just nothing. No
effort into anything, no focus on breathing because that is still an effort. Just an
effortless being. This is a very powerful state of being if you can feel it for at least
one moment. Keep practicing and enjoy the ride.
- Try to be as present as you can in everything that you're doing. Give your best
to be fully present in all your daily activities. Be there in each moment. Of course,
you will fail many times because your mind will take you into many different
directions very quickly, but don't give up and keep practicing daily focus and
concentration. Don’t allow yourself to get lost in distractions. Be present with
what you’re doing. Be into that activity fully. If you’re washing the dishes - wash
the dishes, and do the same with everything else. Don’t think about things. Be
where you are. Drink water, brush your teeth, take a shower, prepare a meal,
take a walk, dress yourself, do all these things consciously. Be present.
- Give yourself three daily tasks that you're going to do. Each day write down
three tasks for yourself and make sure you do them. Keep your promise. Make
these tasks as little promises to yourself and keep your promises. These don't
have to be any big promises. These are small daily accomplishments. See which
ones are important for you and give your best to manifest them.
- Practice corpse pose. Do your research about it. See how it’s done. Learn more
about it. See what it’s good for and what benefits you get from doing it. This pose
is known as Savasana. It is very simple, the simplest pose ever and it’s very
powerful, relaxing, detoxing, empowering and liberating. Enjoy it.
- If I could put my whole life up until this moment into one word, what word would
I choose to describe it? What does this tell me about myself?
- How often do I have conversations with myself? What are my usual themes in
my conversations with myself? How do I feel after these conversations? How
often do I have a real talk with myself?
SCORPIO
On the 3rd of April Mercury enters your opposite sign Taurus and joins Venus,
Uranus and North node in your seventh house of partnerships, commitments,
collaborations and relationships. This area of your life is still very much affected
and it will continue to be so. You have gone through a lot of turbulent changes in
your one-on-one relationships because there is a big awakening happening for
you in the area of your relationships. Uranus has been here since 2018, and it
will continue to shake up your relationships and partnerships until 2025-2026.
This month you experience more connections and sudden conversations in
unexpected places with people you didn’t expect to connect with or to meet.
Expect surprises in your relationships, surprising conversations and perhaps trips
with someone. You can expect very awakening conversations, authentic
connections and awareness of strength in certain relationships. You can say what
you mean in your relationships and you will feel good about it. Mercury will be
here until the 11th of June which is a lot of time for Mercury to stay in one sign,
but this happens due to Mercury’s retrograde motion that begins on the 21st of
April, and lasts until the 15th of May. Mercury retrograde here can bring you
people from your past in one way or another. You may meet them on the street
or you may hear from them. You may suddenly and spontaneously reconnect
with some people during this retrograde period of time. People you’ve lost touch
with can reappear now too. Past ideas can be brought to light again and you may
start collaborating with someone with whom you weren’t able to collaborate
before for some reason. You are also reevaluating and reassessing some of your
one-on-one relationships. You have an opportunity to fix and correct things in
your relationships too. If there is something that needs to be communicated
between you and somebody, this is a time to do so now. This area of your life is
active throughout the whole month and this also affects your marriage, your
union, your business partnerships too, any type of your one-on-one relationships.
This area of your life will continue to be very active in the next month too, and
now you’re making things clear in your relationships so that you can prepare for
great renewals and new beginnings in May when you will have Eclipse in your
sign and New Moon in Taurus. The Sun enters Taurus on the 21st, on the same
day when Mercury stations retrograde in Taurus and the Sun brings more light,
more information, more direction and clarity in your one-on-one relationships.
There are some things in your relationships and partnerships that need to be
fixed. You have an opportunity to make things right with someone and it's the
perfect time for reconciliations, reunions and reconnections.
On the 6th of April there’s a Full Moon happening in Libra in your hidden twelfth
house and this Full Moon has a lot to do with your healing and your ability to
relax and restore, recover and rest. This Full Moon will enlighten your blindspots
too and will show you what needs to be released from within you, what needs to
be cleansed and healed. This energy activates your subconscious fears and your
addictions too, your escapism tools, your need to escape reality, your need for
meditation, your need for rest. You are searching for peace, for calmness, for
tranquility and for those people who resonate with that state of being. You are
connecting with people who practice groundedness, who practice calmness, who
work with their subconscious fears and who can help you walk through your
anxieties, people who can help you recognize your past traumas and anxieties so
that you can work on real detox. Something is revealed to you about your past,
about ancestors, about your inner world. Something from the spiritual realm is
brought to light and you can expect intuitive messages, messages through your
dreams, astral projections, lucid dreaming, altered states, a-ha moments and
insights. This is some kind of culmination and ending, a closure of your damaging
habits and revelation of your inner qualities. You are asked to take a good rest, a
quality rest, to have some time for yourself, to step into your own being and
search for wisdom in silence, without distractions and without mental
disturbances and noise.
On the 11th of April Venus enters Gemini and brings harmony, peace and beauty
in your natural eighth house of transformation, rebirth, inner world, unconscious
actions and attachments, intimacy, intimate relationships, business partnerships,
finances, your partner’s money, family’s money, inheritance, pension, taxes,
loans, shared resources. Expect good financial news and something beautiful
and supportive when it comes to your family and home too. Venus makes a
friendly trine aspect with your ruler Pluto in your fourth house of home, family,
real estate, emotional stability and security, your mother, your family members.
Even though these positions make a bit of an awkward and intense angle with
your sign, it is actually going to bring you something beautiful and powerful when
it comes to your family money, your home, your family business perhaps, your
partner’s financial situation, your investments. You can also expect a beautiful
connection between your partner and your family members, something
harmonious that can bring you closer and bring you together. Revealing secrets
can bring positive outcomes too during this time. Financial investments in the
family can turn out to be very good now.
On the same day when Venus enters Gemini and trines Pluto, there’s another big
and important aspect happening between the Sun and Jupiter. They meet
together in Aries on the 11th of April in your sixth house of daily work, daily tasks,
daily schedules, habits and routines, your lifestyle, your wellness, your health
and wellbeing, your diet regime and your responsibilities, your service to others
and your pets too. This is amazing and benevolent energy for your health and
work. Expect lucky circumstances in these areas of your life. Jupiter expands
everything it touches and in this case it magnifies the attributes and the meaning
of the Sun - the light, the authority, the will, the health and vitality, career and
purpose. And the Sun enlightens Jupiter and shines a light on truth, on meaning,
on wisdom, on abundance, on knowledge. You are learning how to heal yourself.
You are learning how to live your life in a more disciplined and responsible way,
how to be your own authority, how to find more meaning in your everyday life and
everyday work and how to value and appreciate your health, your body, your
wellbeing. This is a lucky aspect and can bring you lucky opportunities for work,
for new job, for health and healing, for something that fulfills you, something that
brings back hope into your life, but not fake hope, not hope of waiting for
tomorrow’s happiness, but hope as a state of being, hope as trust, hope as
knowledge, hope as a healthy belief that removes all impurities.
On the 20th of April there’s a New Moon Solar Eclipse happening in Aries,
amplifying and accentuating even more the conjunction between the Sun and
Jupiter and the areas of your life that are related to health and work. Eclipses are
intense and life-changing events and there’s definitely something big happening
now in your everyday life. Expect a big shift of your routines and habits. These
are karmic changes, those that are meant to be and they are triggered now in
areas of your work, your health, your service to others. You have an opportunity
to initiate something that is really meaningful for you. Jupiter has been here for
quite some time, helping you in these areas of your life, protecting you and your
health, showing you what needs to be restored, recovered, changed and healed.
Now you have an Eclipse happening here and this Eclipse brings big changes,
destined and karmic events and situations. Take care of yourself. You already
had a New Moon in Aries last month and this is the second New Moon in a row,
activating your health and your work, showing you important things that you have
to deal with, that you have to renew and rejuvenate, that you have to work with.
It’s an ideal time for starting a new diet regime, for detoxing yourself, for purifying
your mind, body and soul. If you haven’t done that around the time of the
previous New Moon in March, now you have another chance and if you don’t do
it yourself, life will generate things for you so that you will have to work on
self-improvement and self-betterment.
Your ancient ruler Mars is in your fellow Water sign Cancer this whole month, in
your ninth house of traveling, learning, teaching, studying, connecting with
people from all over the world, expanding your vision, your perception, searching
for the truth, searching for the meaning, exploring yourself, experiencing life in a
more adventurous way. You are putting a lot of action and energy into learning,
into knowledge, into studying, into traveling, into your beliefs and some of you
may be even a bit obsessed by some of your beliefs, obsessed by some of your
ideals, obsessed by learning a certain thing, obsessed by some spiritual practice.
It's a good time for being proactive in these areas of your life and doing things
that expand your knowledge and vision. You are defending your beliefs. You are
defending your ideals. You are defending your attitude about something but it’s
also a time to feel protected by higher power, to feel protected and guided by the
power that is beyond your comprehension, to surrender to that feeling and to
have trust and faith that you are always guided and protected.
How the New Moon Solar Eclipse in April will influence Scorpio
Dear Scorpio, this New Moon happens on the 20th of April in fiery Aries and this
is the second New Moon in a row that is happening in Aries. Last month the New
Moon in Aries was on the 20th-21st of March and it was happening at the very
first degrees of the sign, while this New Moon now is happening at the very last
degrees of the sign, known as anaretic degree, critical degree that brings the
energy of endings and beginnings, that carries a lot of experience and
knowledge. This New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse New Moon and it carries a lot
of intensity and newness in its manifestation. This is the first Eclipse in 2023, and
it also marks the beginning of the new Eclipse cycle that will be happening in the
next two years in the signs of Aries and Libra. This is now happening in your
sixth house of work, health, healing, wellbeing, everyday's work, everyday’s
habits, everyday’s routines, tasks, obligations, discipline, responsibilities, service
to others, your job, your workplace, your efficiency, productivity, practicality and
usefulness. This is also a house of pets and animals and this energy may bring a
new pet to some of you or a new situation with your pets, new connection with
animals, new way of experiencing animals. Your connection with animals actually
says a lot about you and your awareness of other beings. That is why the sixth
house is related to both pets and service to others. This is also a house of your
schedules, your lifestyle, your way of living your life and organizing yourself,
organizing your days, organizing your time. This New Moon Solar Eclipse is here
to initiate something new and to bring an end to some habits and routines that
prevent you from living your best life, that prevent you from enjoying your
everyday life, that prevent you from feeling satisfied and fulfilled through your
work, habits and routines. This is Aries New Moon and it has everything to do
with taking action, with initiating things, with starting something, with
acknowledging who you are, with being independent, bold and courageous in all
your choices and decisions. What are you choosing now? What kind of habits
and routines are you choosing? The last time this Eclipse cycle was active was
back between the beginning of 2004, and the beginning of 2006, and also
between the end of 2013, and the beginning of 2016. What was happening back
then in your life in the area of your health, your routines and habits, your
schedules, your everyday life, your health, your service to others, your pets?
Things won’t repeat now of course, but the energy can be similar and lessons
that you’ve missed to learn back then, may become active now in order for you to
learn them and comprehend them. You may also be challenged to show lessons
that you’ve learned during that time, to apply them and use them.
This is an amazing time for starting a new diet regime, a new exercise regime, a
new job, a new way of living your life, a new schedule, new routines and habits,
new you, new way of being of service. This is you making a choice to improve
yourself, to improve your life, to live a life that counts, that matters, that makes
you feel worthy and valuable, that is aligned with who you are, that is rooted in
your heart. What makes you feel worthy? What makes you feel practical? What
kind of work fulfills you? What is a true service to others? Are you being of help
and support to others and to yourself? What are you doing about improving your
life and your habits? Do you believe that you are a healer? Do you believe that
you have the power to heal yourself and to nurture yourself fully and powerfully?
One small change can turn your life upside down completely. One small change
has the power to transform your whole life direction and whole scenario of
events, relationships and situations. Choose wisely your habits and routines. You
have the free will in that area of your life. You can control what habits and
routines you’re going to do every day. It’s up to you. The power is in your hands
and you can make tremendous changes in your life in the next two years starting
from now.
Too many structures and rules in life may make you feel restrained. You are
questioning your beliefs and your tradition, and you’re coming out of certain
limitations. These are unconventional solutions, and sometimes this card can be
compared with a young rebellious teenager or with a young person who wants to
change things in the world, and this can lead to a certain conflict with authority
figures or with the law. This card can also mean that you could have a certain
situation with a young and rebellious person in your life who rebels against you.
This card can also mean that you are forced to do something in a way that you
disagree with, but society and the system says you have to and you may not
have the choice. For example, you may have to pay a penalty for inappropriate
parking or something similar. It can also mean that you have a boss or authority
figure in life who demands something from you, and even though you don’t agree
with what he or she wants, you have to do it. But most of all, this inverted card
represents the breaking of a status quo and doing something different, breaking
taboos, and changing the usual flow. This card suggests that you don’t need
approval from other authority figures because you feel yourself as your own
authority, you are your own teacher, and you trust yourself more than anybody
else, no matter how important or authoritative they may be. The Hierophant
represents the knowledge in you and you as a holder of that knowledge, and it
can relate to ancestors and elders as well. This is about passed down
knowledge, and it doesn’t have to refer to blood ancestors and knowledge within
a family, but these are also ancestors based on spirit and spiritual knowledge.
This card represents an initiation into a spiritual path, and it can represent a
spiritual community, too, spiritual wisdom, or a spiritual teacher or mentor or you
becoming a teacher or mentor.
The most impactful planet for Scorpio in April
Dear Scorpio, the most impactful and most meaningful energetic influence of
planetary energies for you this month is the energy of Mercury. Mercury enters
your opposite sign of Taurus on the 3rd of April and stays here until the 11th of
June. Mercury stations retrograde on the 21st of April but it enters a
pre-retrograde shadow period around the 7th of April which means that you’ll feel
this retrograde motion almost throughout the whole month. This influences your
relationships and partnerships, your commitments, your collaborations, your
social, intimate and business partnerships. Mercury retrograde here can
reconnect you with people from your past, with lovers from the past, friends from
the past, business partners from the past, or anyone with whom you had a
one-on-one relationship with. You also have an opportunity to fix and correct
things between you and someone, to make things right, to say things you need to
say, to talk about things you couldn’t talk about before, to finish the unfinished
business. Contacts that you’ve lost may be found again. Phone numbers and
emails can be found during this time. It is a time of reconciliations and reunions
but also of accomplishing things in relationships through conversations.
In order to make the most of this energy and in order for you to work with
Mercury during this month, you are advised to connect with your inner
messenger, to connect with your thoughts, to observe your thought processes
and their transformation into words. Observe your thoughts and notice your
thought patterns, notice how your thoughts affect your emotions and how your
thoughts and emotions translate into words. Write down your thoughts and
emotions on a daily basis. Write down how you feel about it, translate your
thoughts and emotions into words. Write down words that you love hearing from
others. Make a list of those words and try to use these words in your everyday
conversations with people. Use those words that you love hearing from others in
your communications with people. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you should
always use these kind words and never stand up for yourself if needed, but give
your best to use those empowering and inspiring words most of the time. Use
words wisely. See them as weapons and as gifts at the same time. Give your
best to use these empowering words even when you would rather use words that
can hurt or insult. Practice this as much as you can. Then, write down words that
you don’t like hearing from others and see if you’re using these words too and
when, either out loud or in yourself as a thought. See if you’re suppressing these
words and thoughts too. Notice how certain words in your relationships trigger
different reactions, feelings and emotions within you. Experiment with words in
your conversations. Try to use words in a way that are uplifting, compassionate,
inspiring, encouraging, real, sincere, supportive, empowering and helpful. See
when is the right time for using the right word in a particular conversation with
others. Observe words that you don’t say in your relationships and write them
down too. Use your words responsibly and make sure that your conversations
are real, valuable and meaningful.
- Concentrate on your own inner Sun that exists within you. Just as there is a
physical external Sun that represents a compressed image of all higher forces,
each of us has their own inner Sun that also represents a collection of higher
forces of our own essence. This is a bright and light point, one that always exists,
always shines, always gives warmth and light. Feel this inner Sun, connect with
it. It is the center of your own inner Solar system and your own stars and
constellations. Each man carries their own constellations, maps, stars and
planets and when you are connected with the center, with the Sun, everything
starts aligning as it should. Feel this inner Sun and shine your light. Feel the
warmth and light from within and connect with the external Sun as well in order to
strengthen this connection.
- Wash yourself with living cosmic water. Do this every day no matter what you're
doing or where you are. Imagine drops and showers of sparkling glittering water
falling over your head and your whole body. Feel how it awakens your body and
cleanses you whole. Feel these drops and showers on your whole body. Every
now and then during the day let this water fall over you and feel how you're being
refreshed, rejuvenated and regenerated. Invoke these higher intelligences,
higher forces, show them you're open and ready to receive their blessings.
- Go into nature where there are trees around you and ask the trees and nature
around you to absorb from your field everything that is not good for you and to
transform it into elements that are good for you. Feel how you're giving away
these toxic elements and feel how you're receiving constructive and healthy
elements back from nature. Trees have this power to absorb toxins and to
transform them into a new life, into a medicine. Ask the wisdom of nature to do
this for you. Nature loves absorbing these things and transforming them. It is
what she does. You are doing a favor for nature and trees and they do you a
favor too. Feel this process of giving and receiving and enjoy.
- Sing to your inner self, speak to your inner self and sing in any melody you
want. Each morning tell your inner self: “How are you? I wish you the very best
experience and the greatest healing today. Let me learn from you. I will make
your day today.” Sing these words to your inner self. Come up with your own
empowering words and sing. Use your imagination and creativity. Feel your inner
self and connect with it through singing kind and empowering words.
- Do something that stretches your capacities and abilities. Dare to learn more, to
know more, to be more. Of course don't do anything that is life risking. Know your
limits but do something that expands your possibilities. Something you usually
step back from, something that you usually leave and let go of, something that
you usually say to yourself: nevermind, I cannot do it. Keep trying, don't give up.
Be persistent and always do at least a little more than you could previous time.
For example if you're working out or if you're doing some mental techniques or if
you have trouble expressing your thoughts and emotions with someone, if you
struggle with somebody or something at your work, if you cannot figure out
something, if you want to learn a new skill or a language. Whatever that is, try
and give a bit more of yourself each next time.
- Change your daily routines and habits. Each day let the start of your day be a
bit different. Whenever you notice you are repeating something, shift it, do it in a
different way, change a route, change direction, change a hand. Suddenly
change your routine. Stand on one leg, freeze yourself in that position where you
notice repetition, step out of your mechanical activity. Bring in new daily
impressions, different impressions, ones that you will remember because they
were different and they changed your day. Play with this. Experiment and have
fun.
- Go outside in the fresh air every day and absorb that freshness, breathe, inhale
and exhale consciously. Go outside with an intention to breathe fresh air and to
feed your body with fresh impressions. Be aware of the air you breathe and
breathe out. Go outside for your air food. Feed yourself and let this become your
daily habit, your must routine.
- Give yourself a smile each day in the mirror when you look at yourself. Smile to
yourself. Each morning when you look at yourself, give yourself a smile. Give
yourself as many smiles during the day as you can. Remember your face with
that smile. Whenever you see yourself, see yourself with a smile. This doesn't
mean that you are smiling all the time of course. This means that each time you
look at yourself, you remind yourself that you are in the right here and right now.
- Practice an easy forward bend pose. Do your research about it, see how it’s
done, see what it’s good for, what are the benefits and start practicing. This is a
very simple pose and easy as its name says. Start doing it. Just enjoy and relax.
Breathe and feel yourself there.
- What kind of an awakening do I need in my life right now? Where do I feel like I
am fully asleep or like I am half awake? Where do I need that sobering moment,
in which area of my life?
- What would be the most surprising scenario in my life when it comes to people
from my past? What are my first associations, images, thoughts, feelings and
emotions that come up when I hear these words: “people from my past.”? What
does this tell me about myself?
SAGITTARIUS
On the 3rd of April Mercury enters Taurus and joins Uranus, North node and
Venus in your sixth house of daily work, daily routines, daily habits, service to
others, responsibilities, obligations, hard work, efficiency, productivity, practicality,
health, healing, diet regime, exercises and self-care. Mercury will be here until
the 11th of June due to its retrograde motion that starts on the 21st of April. But,
you will feel the retrograde energy even earlier because Mercury starts a
pre-retrograde shadow period around the 7th of April. You can finish so many
things with Mercury here, especially while retrograde. You can finish the
unfinished business. You can find things you’ve lost, lost documents or lost
papers perhaps. It’s a great time to finish work that you’ve started before this
retrograde phase and to see what needs to be fixed and corrected. This also
affects your health. What needs to be fixed and corrected in your health? You are
recovering now. You have enough time and space to dedicate to yourself and
your wellbeing. You may need to do something again if you haven’t used your
chance the first time. Mercury retrograde brings you second chances. This
energy has been very active for you lately and it still continues waking you up
and shaking you up when it comes to your health and work. Mercury is
retrograde here until the 15th of May. Uranus has been here since 2018, and as
long as Uranus is here it will keep challenging and shaking your health and your
work, your service to others, your lifestyle, your schedules and duties, your habits
and routines. This month you can really make some positive changes in your
everyday life. It’s your choice. You can also expect some kind of
miscommunications with your colleagues or with people you are connected with
through your work and health in some way. You are learning and studying more
about your health and wellbeing. You are educating yourself about your health
and about health in general, about things that are really valuable and worthy of
doing. The Sun also enters Taurus on the 21st of April, on the same day when
Mercury stations retrograde and it gives you more information and shines more
light on your health and your physical state of being, your vitality, your energy
levels. You can boost your health in many ways now and you can change things
that you don’t like in your work so that you can bring more quality and value in
your everyday life.
On the 6th of April there’s a Full Moon in Libra in your eleventh house of friends,
associates, communities, groups of people, social circles, networking and your
hopes, dreams and wishes for the future. This brings you a lot of focus on your
social connections and your team, your tribe of people, people you resonate with,
people you collaborate with. There is a culmination of some kind happening
between you and others, culmination in your social circles and something may
come to a head in your community. Some of you may leave a certain community
or you may see that you don’t belong to a certain group of people. But this
energy also brings fruition and fulfillment and this can be a time of manifesting
your long-range goals, manifesting group projects, manifesting things with your
team of people. Collaboration, fairness, equality and diplomacy play key roles in
your friendships now. You may feel tension in your social activities around the
time of the Full Moon even though it makes a positive aspect with your sign. Full
Moons can bring tensions and dramas. But it is more likely that you will get
emotional about something in your communities or within your friendships and
you can actually experience satisfaction and fulfillment with others. You may be
celebrating something together, helping each other, sharing stories in order to
become closer to each other. A friend may experience something important and
you will be a part of that experience too. You will feel it closely. You will
experience it directly.
On the 11th of April Venus shifts into your opposite sign of Sagittarius and brings
harmony into your seventh house of relationships, marriage, union,
commitments, collaborations, one-on-one relationships, intimate, social and
business partnerships. This is an amazing energy, stunning indeed. Venus is
here in her own house, the house she rules and she feels good here in the
seventh house of relationships. She is in Gemini and she is very talkative,
charming, charismatic, social and can bring you a lot of social connections and
interactions, a lot of beautiful people and harmonious relationships. This is
amazing for love life too. This brings you a big love story and it increases the
power of your existing love relationship too. Expect powerful business
connections too. It’s an amazing time for discovering the true value and beauty of
your relationships with others, especially your one-on-one relationships. You can
also earn money through your partnerships and collaborations. You can
experience something very beautiful and comforting through your relationships.
Expect to have someone who is like a bright star in your life whether that is your
friend, your lover or your business partner or anybody else with whom you have
one-on-one relationships with. Expect peace and harmony in your relationships,
new friendships, new love relationships, popularity and attractiveness. Venus will
be here until the 7th of May. Venus also makes a positive and friendly aspect with
Pluto around the 11th of April, right when she enters Gemini. Pluto is in Aquarius
in your third house of siblings, relatives, neighbors, short trips, learning, teaching,
sharing, communicating, developing skills, connecting with people and with the
local community. This is a very powerful and beautiful aspect and you can expect
powerful relationships and great support from your brothers and sisters and
those who feel like them, from your local community, from your relatives and
neighbors. Short trips are supported and you can have a wonderful experience
with others on these trips. You can learn things from others that completely
transform your way of thinking and way of living. There’s a strong influence from
others and you can expect some very powerful connections and powerful
knowledge.
On the same day when Venus enters Gemini and trines Pluto, there’s another
very powerful and significant aspect happening between the Sun and your ruler
Jupiter in your fellow Fire sign of Aries in your house of love, romance, fun,
pleasure, entertainment, business, hobbies, sport, gifts, talents, children, young
people, self-expression and self-esteem. This area of your life has been strongly
triggered and activated last month and now it continues to be significant and to
bring you lucky opportunities and possibilities. The Sun and Jupiter together are
like two Suns and you have support from both of them. This is something
amazing in your love life, great energy, great boost of your love and romance, of
your creative projects, of your hobbies, gifts and talents. You are doing things
that you enjoy doing. You are living life to its fullest with this energy. You can take
a full breath of life and feel that you’re alive, fully feel it through your whole being.
Your creativity is on fire and you can achieve great things. This is creative
success and you’re waking up the child within you. This also influences your
children if you have them and you can expect their success too. Some of you are
making babies or expecting children, or you may be working with children and
young people. This fulfills you. This entertains you. Anything is possible with this
transit and love is strongly activated. Love is all around you and within you this
month and you’re in love with yourself. This area of your life is strong throughout
the whole month and especially because there’s a New Moon Solar Eclipse
happening here on the 20th. This is the second New Moon in a row in Aries and
this is an initiation of things in your fifth house matters. Something new begins,
new chapter, new beginning but there’s also an ending of something that’s
standing in the way of your renewals and refreshments in these areas. There’s a
sense of urgency from your side to start something, to start a business perhaps,
to launch a product or service, to start a new love relationship. This is all good
but don’t rush. Don’t allow this sense of urgency to control you because you will
actually have a plenty of time and space in this area to work with it. This Eclipse
is the first Eclipse in 2023, and it marks the beginning of a new Eclipse cycle that
will be happening in the Libra/Aries axis in the next two years. It’s time for
celebrating something, for gathering, for being creative, for playing with children,
for starting something brand new that fulfills you and that makes you feel fully
alive and present in yourself and in life.
Mars is in Cancer this whole month and it’s in your eighth house of death, rebirth,
transformation, intimacy, secrets, shared resources, shared money, taxes, loans,
debts, credits, bills, inheritances, pensions, passive incomes, investments,
intimate partners, business partners, your own inner world, things that you hide,
things that you’re unconscious of. This is a complex placement and Mars in
Cancer in this house can be a bit too emotional, too self-defensive, too
protective, too sensitive and even passive-aggressive. But this is a great time to
invest in things, to take some risks, to be encouraged to look inside of yourself, to
be motivated for some inner work, for self-investigation, for putting energy and
action into your inner world, into revealing your own secrets to yourself and stop
hiding things from yourself, stop avoiding and escaping yourself. This is about
your inner strength and ability to deal with your inner demons. You are proactive
in your financial world too and you’re dealing with shared resources and shared
finances now. You can get a lot of things done related to your investments and
shared resources. Your inner warrior wakes up and has great strength to confront
the shadow part and instead of fighting your shadow, you can actually see it as a
part of you that you’ve been denying and rejecting.
How the New Moon Solar Eclipse in April will influence Sagittarius
Dear Sagittarius, this New Moon is the second New Moon in a row that happens
in the sign of Aries and it’s showing you things that you need to start, to activate,
to initiate, to break through when it comes to your creativity, your children if you
have them, your child within you, your hobbies, your talents, your gifts, your love,
your romance, your business, your vitality, your identity, your self-esteem and
self-confidence. This New Moon happens on the 20th of April and it’s in
conjunction with your ruler Jupiter. Things are expanding in your fifth house
matters dear Sagittarius. Your love life is expanding. Your business is expanding.
Your pleasure is expanding. You are given an opportunity to initiate something
new in these areas of your life and you have all the support that you need. This
New Moon happens on the last degrees of Aries and it brings endings and
beginnings at the same time, but this is not only because of the last degrees of
the sign, but also because this New Moon is a Solar Eclipse New Moon. This is
the first Eclipse in 2023, and it also marks the beginning of a new Eclipse cycle
that will be happening in the Aries/Libra axis for the next two years. You already
had the New Moon in Aries last month, but this one is far more intense, dramatic,
life-changing, karmic and destined. You may meet a new love partner during this
time. Expect a new love story and a renewal of your existing love relationship in a
very enlightening and passionate way. Some of you may be expecting children or
you may be working on making babies. This is a long-lasting theme for you
already Sagittarius and now there’s a whole new chapter in that area of your life
that begins with this Eclipse. Something amazing and pleasurable happens in
your love life, with your children if you have them, with young people in your life,
with the child within you, with your creativity and your talents. You are expressing
yourself in a unique and authentic way. You are expressing your independence
through your creativity, through the child within you. You are invited to do things
that excite you, that make you feel alive, that ignite the spark of infinite life within
you. You are invited to enjoy life, to feel the pleasure in doing things that you’re
doing, to have fun, to celebrate life, to gather together with people and to
celebrate life. Your love life is highlighted and you may rise in love during this
time. You can create new love stories now. It’s a romantic Solar Eclipse for you
and you are creating romance all around you. You are recognizing love and
romance in every corner of your life and your being. You can do many things
during this time. You can bring others up only by your presence and your
gratitude. You can make others smile and create a big change in the lives of
those around you. Your relationship with children is beautiful and loving too. It is
exciting, playful and cheerful. Pay attention to children in your life, to all the
children that you meet on your journey and see what message they have to
deliver to you. Read between the lines. Recognize the symbols and
synchronicities. The last time this series of Eclipses was active was back
between the beginning of 2004, and the beginning of 2006, and also between the
end of 2013, and the beginning of 2016. What big changes have been happening
in your life back then when it comes to your creativity, your passion, your children
if you have them, your love life, your business, your sport activities perhaps, your
talents and gifts, your self-esteem, your hobbies, your pleasures and joys in life?
What important lessons have you learned during that time? This energy now can
bring you back some things that you’ve missed perhaps. Missed opportunities
and skipped lessons may reappear now so that you can finish the cycle and
move on. This is a time to celebrate things in life, to feel the joy of being alive, to
invite others for celebrations, to accept invitations from others, to have fun, to
dance, to organize a party, to start a new love relationship, to renew your existing
love relationship, to start a new love relationship with yourself too and to start
smiling at yourself and others more, to start sending smiles all around you, not in
a fanatic way of course, but in a way that you are aware of the importance of the
energy that you emanate and in a way that you know that you have the power to
choose how you want to react to certain situations in life. It’s a great time to start
a new business, to initiate something new, to start a new creative project, to
express yourself, to express the playful side of you, to nurture creativity in
everything all the time, to remember that you are the co-creator and that you are
participating in creating your life and reality in a huge way. You have the power to
invite love and to express love. You are making the conscious choice now and
you’re ready to enjoy, to have pleasure, to smile and to say Yes to life no matter
how hard it may be sometimes.
In this card, there is a young person holding a golden cup wearing a pink and
blue tunic with water lilies. These symbols and colors represent spirituality and
purity. This person has a pure heart, pure intentions, and pure emotions. There is
a fish that is coming out of a golden cup, and they’re looking at each other. This
represents unexpected news, unexpected messages, unexpected situations, and
unexpected emotions, but most of all, the fish represents spirituality, and it
indicates that this will be a spiritual journey for you; this will be something that
enriches your inner world. The element of Water is very strong in this card.
Behind this young person, there are oceanic waves, and the fish is in the cup.
The young person wears a blue beret on their head, and this blue color
resonates with blue waves in the background. Water represents emotions,
intuition, creativity, hidden knowledge, the female principle, spirituality, and the
inner world. This card represents a messenger who brings good news. Since this
card represents the child within you, it also means that there’s a greater need to
be more playful, to have fun, to be entertained, and to enjoy, and this card tells
you to bring more fun into your life. This is a card of great creativity, so you can
expect enhanced creative possibilities. Your gifts and talents may become more
visible and notable.
This card also represents new adventures, and it asks you to embrace new
things in life even though they may come in unexpected ways and even though
you may not know all about them. This is about exploring your soul, exploring
and experiencing magic and spirituality. Don’t take things too seriously during this
time—explore things in a lighthearted way. You need lightness of spirit and
lightness of heart on this journey. Curiosity is welcomed, readiness for an
adventure. Of course, there are challenging times as in every journey, but this
card says even though there are challenges, you should keep your heart and
your spirit light. This card also represents the inner child, so this card could also
mean that you may face some of your inner child issues, your childhood wounds,
which is good because this means that you’re ready for it. You now have a
different approach to those things, and you don’t feel the same about your
childhood wounds. You have a different perspective, and you can resolve these
things now with a fresh perspective and with lightness in your heart. This card
can also bring you a message from far away. This card represents a person, a
funny, creative, and artistic person, an unpredictable person as well. This is a
positive card, one that reminds you to be open-minded and open-hearted, to
follow your intuition and your heart, and to expect new solutions and new
beginnings.
In order to make the most of this energy this month, in order for you to channel
the energy of Venus in the most beautiful and constructive way, you are asked to
bring more of those venusian qualities into your life, bring forth those venusian
attributes and meanings. Be like Venus in your relationships. Try to manifest and
express the energy of Venus in your one-on-one relationships. Try to recognize
the value of Venus in others. Try to recognize the true value of your relationships.
Do things that are worthy in your relationships. Give compliments to others, say
nice things, tell someone how beautiful he or she is, be generous in giving
compliments. Don’t limit yourself and feel good by giving compliments. Don’t
expect anything in return and just enjoy giving compliments, supporting others,
and sharing the best of who you are with others. Do things with others that wake
up Venus in your relationships. Invite someone out for a dinner, for a concert,
visit a museum with someone, visit a gallery, visit something where there’s
expression of beauty, value and love, expression of art. Venus is also about food
and enjoying good things in life and you can also beautify your connections by
preparing something nice, by enjoying good times with others. Give others
presents and gifts during this time. These presents and gifts don’t have to be
anything big and spectacular. It can be anything, just a small sign of kindness
and appreciation. Show others what they mean to you, make your own present,
be creative. Dance with someone. Play good music and dance. Do things with
people that trigger joy and pleasure, that make you feel comfortable, that make
you taste the beauty of life, the beautiful side of life. Venus is related to flowers
too so you can give flowers to others as well. Have a good and pleasurable time
with your close personal friends, lovers, partners, or anyone with whom you have
that one-on-one relationship with.
- Imagine that you're floating on the water surface. Feel yourself there. Feel the
water holding you, protecting you, embracing you. Feel the subtle texture and
matter of the water. Just lie and let it hold you gently. Enjoy with your eyes closed
and just lie fully relaxed. If there is a floating tank near you, you can go and try it.
It has a very healing influence. Enjoy being immersed by water. If you live near
the beach and it is not winter time, go and lie on the surface of the water. Just
float, just be, just breathe and enjoy the process and the benefits of it.
- Take yourself out for confession walks. These are your daily walks where you
will have inner conversations with yourself during these walks. You will tell
yourself everything that lies on your chests each day. Take yourself out for a walk
on your own every day for at least half an hour and make your confessions to
yourself. Tell everything that bothers you, that tortures you, that worries you.
Make these walks your daily therapeutic routines. Take them seriously. Be your
own therapist during these walks. Release things. Feel relief during these
sessions and enjoy.
- Watch the rays of the Sun. Catch the rays of the Sun. Try to catch these rays
whenever you have a chance. Whenever you’re outside and you see the rays of
the Sun shining through, go there and be in the Sun. Let it wash away all
impurities from you. Feel the white and gold warm light healing you and purging
you. (Of course, do not stand in the strong Sun for too long. Choose part of the
day when the warmth is comfortable and if you live where it’s cold, you can of
course stand in the Sun whenever during the day.)
- Think about the things that torture you, things that make you feel
uncomfortable, things that you are not proud of, things that you have wronged,
think about your “mistakes”, your fails, things from your life that you would rather
forget or things that you somehow regret. Think about the guilt that you feel.
Think about all these things and offer all of these things to the higher forces, to
the Divine, to your higher self to take them. Don’t analyze this. Don’t go into
details. Don’t think about it. Just offer it to these forces. These things don’t belong
to you. You can freely return them to the source. Just do it consciously and
willingly. Say: “I am giving back all my mistakes, failures, fears, anxieties, worries
and traumas back to the source where they belong. They have served me. I have
learned the lessons but I don’t need to be attached to them anymore. I quit my
addiction to these things and I surrender to higher powers.”
- Dream big. Write down your biggest dreams and feel them as if they are already
manifested. Live them already. Feel as if you have already accomplished and
achieved what you want. Dream big and think big. Feel the abundance. Connect
with your own inner abundance. Be aware that it is there already. Write down
your big dreams and see yourself already living those dreams.
- Spend more time with like-minded people, with people who share similar
thoughts and ideas with you. Spend more time with those who make you feel
good. Spend more time with people who work on themselves, with people who
work on their self-development and self-betterment. If you don't have such
people around you, find online communities or groups or individuals who are
working on themselves and who can share valuable and meaningful things with
you. Share knowledge and experiences with others and spend more quality time
with your friends, with real friends.
- Make sure you go to bed with clear and positive thoughts. Don't fall asleep with
some bad and negative thoughts. Give your best to shift your thoughts and to fall
asleep with good thoughts, because this is what will give you a quality sleep, but
if you fall asleep with bad thoughts on your mind, you won't have a quality sleep
and you will wake up tired and exhausted. If you feel bad thoughts taking you
over at night, it is better to get up and do something that will shake off that
energy. Do something to shift your state of being. Stretch yourself a little bit. Take
a shower. Wash your face with cold water. Put your feet into hot water. Sing
something uplifting. Listen to the sounds that make you feel safe and relaxed.
Make sure you are not focused on bad things before you fall asleep. This will
improve the quality of your whole life.
- Take your friends out. Take them to your favorite place somewhere in nature.
Just spend some time there together in nature, outside, walking, hiking, being
close to the river or lake or sea, or in the mountains, wherever is one of your
favorite spots. Take someone close to you and just spend some quality time in
nature together, breathing fresh air and healing, observing, grounding and
cleansing, just feeling good and enjoying impressions.
- Practice Plow Pose. Do your research about this pose, see how it’s done, see
what it’s good for and what are the benefits of it and start practicing. If you cannot
do it immediately, practice it. Stretch yourself every day until you make it. This
pose is called Halasana.
- What is it that I am repeating in my life for quite some time that I need to
change? Where am I being too repetitive? What are my most repetitive thoughts
and emotions in life?
- How can I refresh and rejuvenate my life? What do I do in life in order to refresh
myself, to uplift myself, to cheer up myself? What are my methods of refreshing
my life?
- What am I mostly grateful for in my life? What are the main things in my life that
I am grateful for? How often am I aware of the things that I am grateful for in my
life?
- What kind of self-recovery do I need in my life right now? What is the most
urgent self-recovery that I need right now? Where do I feel injured, wounded,
hurt, or let down in some way by myself?
On the 3rd of April Mercury joins Uranus, Venus and North node in your fellow
Earth sign Taurus in your fifth house of joy, pleasure, entertainment, playfulness,
love, romance, children, creativity, self-expression, hobbies, business, gifts and
talents. This area of your life has been shaken up many times already and you’ve
gone through many changes and awakening in these areas of your life already.
But, there’s more of that and it’s actually good. These energies make a positive
supportive trine aspect with your sign and you should expect beneficial and
uplifting events and situations in your love life, with your children if you have
them, with your business, self-employment, with your talents, in sports activities if
you are into sports, with your creative projects and your experience of fun and joy
in life. You can expect joyful conversations with people, entertaining
conversations and trips too, romantic trips perhaps, romantic conversations,
cheerful connections and relationships. You are learning and studying more
about your role as a parent if you’re a parent. You are learning more about your
business if you have one. You are learning more about your creative processes
and your talents. You can expect sudden shifts in love, sudden changes in love
life, unexpected pregnancy news are possible too and this is something that is
very much accentuated as long as Uranus is here in your fifth house, whenever it
gets activated through aspects with other planets as it is now. You are able to feel
the joy of life and you may be reminded that you’ve forgotten how to simply enjoy
life, how to enjoy simplicity, how to enjoy being who you are. Mercury will be here
until the 11th of June due to its retrograde motion that begins on the 21st of April.
But, Mercury’s retrograde motion will be felt earlier because it enters the
pre-retrograde shadow period around the 7th of April. Expect people from your
past to reappear in your life, ex lovers may show up again in your life for one
reason or another, in many different shapes and forms. You may bump into them
on the street, or you may hear from them in some way, someone may tell you
some news about your ex lovers or you may be thinking about them. Expect
conversations that can bring you revelations and closures with others. You can
finish the unfinished business, unfinished creative projects. You are fixing and
correcting things with your children if you have them or with somebody else’s
children, with young people. You can also find things that you’ve lost during this
time, Mercury will be retrograde until the 15th of May. On the same day when
Mercury stations retrograde, the Sun enters Taurus too and highlights this area of
your life. You can expect more opportunities for expressing your gifts and talents,
more performances, more popularity, more self-expression. The Sun brings light
into these areas of your life and there’s more chance for success in your
business, in your love life, with your children or if you work with children. You will
be given more chances for fun and pleasure, for something that truly fulfills you
and that makes you feel good about being alive right here and right now.
On the 6th of April there’s a Full Moon in Libra, illuminating the top of your chart
and shining a light on your career, your profession, your success and reputation,
your relationship with your father or with father figures, your vocation, your life
direction, your contribution to society, your life path. This is a time to see
something that you may have been avoiding in your professional world. You may
have been putting too much effort into your career, into achieving results and
success and now it’s time to see things coming to a fruition in these areas of your
life. Something is culminating now for you. You may experience some kind of
culmination in your career, or a culmination on your life path. There are possible
endings and closures too. Maybe this brings a certain closure to some project
you’ve been working on, or maybe a closure of a certain period in your career or
in your contribution. Something may come to a head now and this is related to
your relationships in your career, relationships with authority figures, relationships
with people who look up to you and business relationships. Something may be
ended here for you and this may be a final resolution of a certain situation in your
work or with a boss or with your career goals. Change is happening and
something is revealed to you that will give you a greater clarity about your life
path and life direction.
On the 11th of April Venus enters Gemini and brings comfort, healing, love,
beauty and harmony into your sixth house of health, healing, wellbeing, everyday
work, everyday tasks and duties, routines and habits, your service to others, your
work, your job, your obligations and schedules, your stress and your time
management, and your pets too. This is a very beautiful energy to have here in
this area of your life, especially after having Mars here for such a long period of
time. Mars is finally out of your sixth house and now you have Venus here to help
you with all things related to health and work. You will find perfect helpers in your
life now if you need them and you will find a perfect way to organize yourself,
your work, your schedules and routines so that you can really enjoy your daily life
without feeling exhausted and tired, without feeling as if your time is leaking. You
will finally have time for yourself, for your wellbeing, for a good diet, for good
exercises, for pleasurable activities without overworking and overloading
yourself. You can make exquisite changes now with your everyday life. Venus
here wants you to love yourself and to do things that are beautiful and valuable in
your everyday life. Venus also makes a supportive trine aspect with Pluto in your
second house of finances, material stability, resources, earnings, your money,
your possessions, your priorities and self-worth. Expect beautiful opportunities
and possibilities now. You can expect big money too or big opportunities for
earning more money, for using your resources in a more beautiful and valuable
way, for being more grateful for all that you have gained and all that you are. This
is a lot about true self-love, self-appreciation and self-worth.
On the same day when Venus enters Gemini and trines Pluto, there’s another
significant aspect happening and it’s a conjunction between the Sun and Jupiter
in fiery Aries in your core placement of the chart, in your fourth house of home,
family, real estate, your house, your place of living, your family relationships,
family members, emotional stability and security, your mother, your inner child,
your emotional intelligence and emotional independence. This area of your life is
very important this whole month and it’s been hugely activated last month too.
Now this conjunction brings lucky opportunities and lucky events in your home
and family world. You can expect expansion of your family in some way, new
family members, you moving in to live with someone, new roommates perhaps,
bigger home, bigger space, something expands and it’s very good now. Expect
good family news. You may be buying or selling a house or real estate. You are
passionate about your family and family members. You are taking action in these
areas and you feel abundant with your home and family situation. Something is
shining here for you and you feel blessed with your home situation. This area of
your life is also very strong this month because there is a New Moon Solar
Eclipse happening here too on the 20th of April. This is the second New Moon in
a row that happens in Aries in this area of your life. Expect some big initiations in
your home, with family members, with your place of living, with your emotional
world, your inner child, your emotional setup. These are new chapters, karmic
and destined events, necessary cycles and renewals. This is a whole new
process in your emotional world, with your place of living, your residency
perhaps, your location, your family situation that will be unfolding and changing in
the next two years. This is the first Eclipse in 2023, and it marks the beginning of
a new Eclipse cycle that will be happening in the Aries/Libra axis in the next two
years.
Mars is in your opposite sign of Cancer this whole month and it puts more focus
on your one-on-one relationships. You are putting more energy and effort into
your partnerships and you should be careful of your behavior in your one-on-one
relationships. Mars can bring impulsiveness and overreactions especially when in
Cancer since it is very sensitive and too protective. Passive aggressive behavior
can be present now and come either from you or from others, or from both. But,
this doesn’t have to manifest at all if you’re proactive in your relationships, if
you’re focused on healthy activities with others. This is a great time for being
proactive with others, doing things in pairs, taking action, moving forward,
initiating something in your relationships instead of trying to prove your point and
impose your will onto others. This is a time for active collaboration and for mutual
benefits, mutual work that brings blessings in your relationships.
How the New Moon Solar Eclipse in April will influence Capricorn
Dear Capricorn, this New Moon happens on the 20th of April in your fellow
Cardinal fiery sign of Aries in your core placement of the chart, the bottom of the
chart, your fourth house of core emotions, family matters, family relationships,
your home, your place of living, your mother, your inner child, your emotional
stability and security, your roots and ancestors, your childhood and your past.
This is a very sensitive placement and this house is ruled by the Moon. This is
the second time in a row that there’s a New Moon in Aries and it again activates
the same areas of your life but in a very different way. This New Moon happens
at the very last degrees of the sign and the previous one happened at the very
first degrees of the sign. Last degrees of the sign are known as anaretic degrees,
critical degrees and they carry a lot of experience, wisdom and knowledge.
These are endings and beginnings and whatever you have initiated during the
first New Moon in Aries last month is likely to start showing up in some way
already now. This is not just a New Moon energy, this is also Solar Eclipse New
Moon and this is the first Eclipse in 2023, and it’s also the beginning of a new
Eclipse cycle that will be happening in the Aries/Libra axis in the next two years.
These series of Eclipses are very significant for you because they impact the key
areas of your life and you will definitely feel their influence. The last time this
series of Eclipses was active was back between the beginning of 2004, and the
beginning of 2006, and also between the end of 2013, and the beginning of 2016.
Think back to this time and see what big transitions, transformations, changes,
endings and beginnings were active in your life. This is especially active in your
work, career, reputation, social status, public image, contribution and your home
and family life, your residence, your family relationships, your roommates, your
place of living, your childhood, your mother, your emotional wellbeing, emotional
stability, your inner child and your ability to cope with emotional changes and
challenges, your ability to grow and mature emotionally. Focus will be more on
your home and family world from now on, on people you love, on real estate and
the place where you live. Expect karmic and destined events in these areas of
your life. Some of you may be moving, relocating, selling and buying a property, a
house, a real estate. You may be renovating your home, upgrading it, improving
it, making it better in every way. You are also working on renewing and
empowering your family relationships, your environment, your emotional stability
and security, your relationship with your mother and mother figures, your
relationship with family members and those who feel like a family. There is a
sense of urgency around the time of this Eclipse since it happens at the very last
degrees of the sign. But, you don’t really need to rush with anything now. You will
have plenty of time to work on this and to process all the changes and challenges
on your path in these fourth house matters. Jupiter is in conjunction with this
Eclipse and it emphasizes this energy, it expands this energy and the meaning of
your fourth house of home and family. You can expect some big changes and
feelings of abundance in your home and with your family. The ruler of this Eclipse
is Mars and Mars is in your opposite sign of Cancer in your seventh house of
one-on-one relationships. You are entering a whole new chapter and new phase
in your family life. You are renewing and recovering your family relations and your
home situation. You are going through a renewal of your emotional setup as well.
You start working on building emotional independence and emotional
intelligence. You’re given all the tools that you need and you’re ready to recover
emotionally and to break through the old, sticky and traumatizing emotional
attachments. You are ready to go where you haven’t dared to go before and that
journey is leading you towards emotional healing of the highest and greatest
quality.
We see the King sitting on the throne which is floating on the turbulent water. The
King is calm and he is looking somewhere in the distance and he holds the cup in
his right hand and the scepter in his left hand. These things symbolize his control
over his emotions and his power, his self-mastery and his creativity, his spiritual
maturity. In the background there is a fish leaping from the water and a ship.
There is a great balance between the material and emotional dimensions. There
is a balance between the conscious and subconscious.
This card represents the balance between the mind and heart. It represents
wisdom, devotion, diplomacy as well as advisors and counselors.This card may
refer to a real person in your life. It can represent you or it can have a symbolic
meaning or all three. The King is very emotionally receptive but he can also be
explosive and strict. He is very charismatic and he attracts people easily. People
trust him. The King of Cups is a very creative soul and he has a very fresh
perspective all the time. His perspectives are way beyond the learned ways of
looking at things. He is thinking outside of accepted norms and patterns. He is a
creative and sensitive soul, very artistic, compassionate and devoted. This card
is a reminder for you to listen to your heart, listen to your intuition. There is a
need for emotional fulfillment, for emotional pleasure and satisfaction. These are
measured decisions and high levels of emotional control. You can achieve
success if you know what you want now. This card is deeply connected to your
own intuition and emotions but in the case of this card, you manage to control
your emotions and to express them in the right way, to express them consciously.
This card means that there is harmony in your emotional body. You are gaining
emotional harmony and emotional stability.
This card can also represent a compassionate friend or someone who gives you
wise advice. He is a very good listener. This card also suggests business deals
and plans, improvement of social status and reputation. You may also be in a
position to take on a leadership role or you may be in a close relationship with
someone who has that role. This can be related to social communities of all
kinds.
This card shows that you are in full charge of your emotions and impulses. There
is a deeper and greater knowledge of yourself, of who you are within yourself, of
your impulses and desires, your wants and needs. This card can also bring you
an older person, an older male person who makes wise choices and who takes
responsibility for his actions and you can learn a lot from this person. This is
someone who owns great self-knowledge and who can be a great father figure
now in your life. This is a gentle mentor, someone who can guide you beautifully
and who acts from his emotions but who carries a great balance of emotions and
logic. This card reminds you to master your emotions, to become emotionally
independent and emotionally healthy and wealthy. This is a very powerful time for
you to grow and mature emotionally and to remain calm in the middle of
emotional storms and negative emotional patterns. This is your chance to
overcome emotional “weaknesses” and to turn them into your strengths.
The Moon is one of the most influential planets in Astrology. Together with the
Sun, it forms unity. The Sun and the Moon are two eyes, two lights, silver and
gold, honey and milk, feminine and masculine, plus and minus. They are two
energies that keep things in balance. They rule the night and the day. The Moon
is all about maternal instincts; it is about emotions and different phases. It rules
our moods and the shifts of our mind and heart. The Moon represents our need
for security and stability. It rules our comfort zone, the things we’re used to—it is
our nest and our relationship with our mother but also with Mother Nature and
with our inner Goddess and inner Mother regardless of our gender. The Moon
represents nurturing energy, caring energy, nourishing energy, and it is also
associated with the mind and fluctuations of the mind. The Moon can make us
overly emotional, overly reactive, easily provoked and irritated, and it can also
make us compassionate, kind, gentle and friendly. It is always a reminder that we
have to work with our emotions and channel them in the right way. The Moon
represents people as well and their influence on us as individuals. It rules our
daily life and daily habits, and it connects our brain and our belly, our mind and
our heart, our nerves and our cells. It governs the rhythm of the body and our
routines and habits. The Moon quickly changes its phases. It moves from waning
to waxing phase, and it affects the fluids and the water in our body; water
symbolically always represents emotions, so these are emotional fluctuations,
too. The Moon is also related to receptive energy, to the feminine principle, to
instincts and intuition, rhythms and cycles. The Moon rules our digestive system
and our eating patterns related to our emotions. The Moon rules our reactions,
the way we react, our unconsciousness and unconscious patterns, our
relationship with the mother, our past, our past lives, our growing up, and our
subconscious habits. It rules our memories and our feelings that are packed with
those memories. The Moon also has a lot to do with our soul food, what feeds
our soul. The Moon has always been related to dreams, beauty, and imagination,
and it also rules fertility and pregnancy. The Moon represents our home and our
family, our roots and our ancestors and it also rules our own space and our need
for security.
In order to make the most of this energy this month, in order for you to connect
with the energy of the Moon and to channel these energies in the most
constructive and powerful way, you are asked to dive deep into yourself and deal
with your inner child, with your past, with your emotional stability and security,
with your inner mother and with your insecurities, vulnerabilities and emotional
triggers. This is very important because this is Eclipse in your fourth house and
it’s the main player now. Moon is also ruler of the fourth house and this is even
more amplified. Emotions are strong and powerful and you have an amazing
opportunity to channel these emotions, to filter them in a new way, to transform
them into a pure emotional state, to create a new emotional setup. Connect with
the energy of the Moon. Do something that balances you and aligns you with
your emotional center every Monday. Actually do it every day, but on Mondays it
will have greater strength since Monday is the Moon’s day and you can connect
with that energy more. Wear something white or silver to connect and align with
the energy of the Moon too. Try to manifest the energy of the Moon in your home
and family world. Be nurturing, nourishing, caring, compassionate, loving,
supportive and helpful in your home and with your family members. Bring some
food to your family. The Moon also represents the food so it’s very good to offer
food to your family, to bring more food in your home in order to connect with the
Moon in a better way, to make its influence easier and lighter and brighter into
your life. Do something beautiful with your family around the time of the Full
Moon and the New Moon. Show that you care. Show that you are there. Show
that you are grateful for your home, your family, your roots and ancestors,
regardless of how you personally feel about them. Accept your home, your roots,
your ancestors, your family but don’t get identified with those things too much.
Honor and respect these things, but don’t allow yourself to get emotionally
overwhelmed and to believe that you are your family. You are far more than your
family as is each family member of your family. You are far more than emotional
attachment as is anyone who you feel as your family member. You are now
working on emotional maturity and emotional intelligence. Allow yourself to feel
all that you have to feel. Cry if you feel like crying. Allow yourself to feel it all but
know that all the time there is a conscious witness, an observer within you, the
one who is detached from all emotional ups and downs. This is the place where
you’re going. Wherever you go, you’re not getting anywhere, unless you dare to
look inside of you and meet with the observer within you, with the one who is free
from all attachments, so that you can reconnect with the ones you love in a pure
and clear state of love.
- Draw your own symbol, something that strongly resonates with you. Find your
own symbol that resonates with you right now. Explore and research symbols
and find the one that resonates with you. Something that catches your eye,
something that draws your attention. See what this symbol is about, research it,
learn more about it, draw it on a piece of paper and carry it with you. Connect
with it and see what you can learn from it. This symbol will guide you and protect
you. It will help you see the signs and read the signs. It will help you recognize
synchronicities and follow your path. Enjoy the process and the benefits of this
amazing exercise.
- Try to look at others with understanding, with kindness, with love and with a
strong attitude. Try not to look at others with eyes that are angry, hateful, full of
criticism, judgment, victimhood, fear or irritation. Try to give yourself and others a
look that awakens something magnificent in you and others, a look that makes
you feel good about yourself, a look that makes you feel fulfilled, supported,
understood, a look that makes others feel easier, not heavier. Practice this look in
all situations. It won’t be easy but it is something that will bring you supreme
benefits and good vibes throughout your life.
- Take a look around you wherever you happen to be. Observe your surroundings
very well. Observe everything that you see and try to memorize the whole picture
that you’re watching. When you have observed it well, close your eyes and draw
the same image in your mind. See all the items and details with your eyes
closed. You can use the help of a friend who will be there next to you with their
eyes open and you will tell your friend what you saw in the room or in the
environment of the place where you are. Describe each object, each item, its
color and its position that you can remember. This is another brilliant mental
exercise that helps you improve not only your mental state of being but also your
emotional state of being.
- Find new words in your own native language. Discover new words, search for
them and then find their meaning. See if it somehow connects with your life right
now. See if these words have something to do with something that is happening
in your life. Each couple of days find another new word. Use this word in your
daily conversations. Try to find an appropriate situation when you’re going to use
it. Try to use it at least three times during the day. See in which situations you
can use it. Try to see why you picked up exactly this word. Play with it, have fun
and have some insights too.
- Connect more with your family members or with those who feel like your family.
Support somebody from your close surroundings if you are in a position to do so.
Do not reject somebody's help either. Be willing to support and be supported by
your family. Be willing to connect more with your family and to be more forgiving
and more lighthearted with family members.
- Clean your space every day a little bit. Do cleansing in your space each day,
light a candle, light an incense, change your sheets, clean your room, bring in
new smells, bring in a new flower in your space every once in a while, sing
uplifting songs in your space, enrich it with your moves and your energy, your
voice and your presence. Purify it a little bit each day and as you do this, feel
how you are purifying and enlightening and cleaning your inner space little by
little each day as well.
- Give yourself certain must do’s during the day. Write down your must do’s for
each day and try to accomplish all of them. Don’t make the long list. Be
reasonable. Give yourself a couple of must do’s and do them. Be responsible and
disciplined with these things. Don’t let other obligations that are less important
distract you. Make your daily priorities and do the things that you really have to
do, that are the most important for that day.
- Spend some time in Diamond Pose each day. Do your research about this
pose, see how it’s done and what it’s good for, what are the benefits of doing it
and start practicing it. This pose is called Vajrasana. This is a very simple and
easy pose but very powerful and calming. Practice daily and see how it makes
you feel.
- What are the most burdening things right now in my life? How often do I deal
with them? What are some of my methods that I’ve already tried in order to
handle these burdens? What holds these burdens? What is causing them to be
there in the first place?
- What are my unnecessary obligations and duties during the day? What are
some of my most unnecessary routines and habits? Why do I do them if they’re
unnecessary? Can I remove them from my life?
- Do I worry too much? What do I worry about mostly during the day? What are
my most usual worries? What do my everyday worries tell me about myself?
AQUARIUS
On the 3rd of April Mercury joins your ruler Uranus, North node and Venus in
Taurus in your fourth house of home, family, domestic matters, your house where
you live in, your location and residency, your emotional stability and security, your
mother, your family members and people who are close like a family to you, real
estate, family home, childhood and the past. This area of your life has been
active for quite some time and there are many changes, tests, challenges and
transitions happening for you, especially since your ruler Uranus has entered
Taurus in 2018. This area of your life will continue to be shaken up and triggered
as long as Uranus is here, which is active until 2026. You also have more activity
of Eclipses in these areas of your life this year and something is ending and
culminating here for you in 2023. But now, this month, you can expect some
sudden changes in your family world, unexpected shifts, a lot of family
conversations, conversations about your family or significant conversations with
your family members and with those who feel like your family. You may go on a
short trip with your family too. Mercury is here until the 11th of June due to its
retrograde motion and Mercury stations retrograde on the 21st of April. You will
feel this retrograde motion throughout the whole month since Mercury begins its
pre-retrograde shadow period around the 7th of April. You are reviewing,
revisioning, reconsidering, reassessing and reevaluating things related to your
home situation, your house, your place of living, your family relationships, your
emotional wellbeing, your mother and your ability to emotionally process things
that happen in your life. You may reconnect and reunite with family members,
with those you lost touch with and who felt like a family to you. You may revisit
your hometown if you don’t live there anymore. You may visit a home where you
grew up if you’re not there anymore. You may go through old albums, revisiting
your childhood, your past and receiving insights and intuitive messages through
your emotions and feelings. Some miscommunications and misunderstandings
are possible with family members too while Mercury is retrograde here. So, don’t
rush with making any conclusions or final decisions related to your home and
family world while Mercury is retrograde here. You have an opportunity to fix and
correct your family relationships, to fix and correct things related to your house
and your place of living. You can finish the unfinished business in your home.
Some of you may be moving and relocating now, changing your environment in
some way and communicating a lot with people from your close surroundings.
On the same day when Mercury stations retrograde, the Sun joins and enters
Taurus, bringing more focus on these areas of your life, showing you what needs
to be done, what needs to be worked on. You are focused on your home and
family in a big way and there are second chances for you to do something right
this time.
Mercury also makes a square aspect with Pluto in your sign on the 3rd of April.
These first couple of days of April can be a bit conflicting and intense when it
comes to your needs and your family’s needs. Arguments and disagreements are
possible and this can provoke you and trigger you emotionally. But, this is not a
long-term aspect. It passes quickly and this is just something to be aware of and
to know that if it happens, it is there to teach you something about your behavior
in family relationships, your personality and your emotional stability.
On the 6th of the month there’s a Full Moon in Libra, illuminating your ninth
house of long distance travel, higher learning, higher education, higher
knowledge, higher meaning, higher self. This Full Moon shines a light on your
spiritual journey and shows you what needs to be changed there, what needs to
be released and what needs to be transformed. What do you want to learn, to
teach, to upgrade, to share? You may be traveling or finishing your travels now.
This is a culmination, an ending, a closure of something. Some of you may be
graduating, finishing school, finishing some kind of spiritual practice and reaching
a culmination. This Full Moon makes a positive, supportive trine aspect with your
sign and you can expect good things through your travels, through your spiritual
journey, through your knowledge. You can see things from different angles now.
You are expanding and extending your vision and perception. This is a great time
for international connections and international business too, for connecting with
people who come from different places, cultures, countries, traditions and
religions. It can also be an end of some legal matter, a final resolution of a legal
situation that you’ve been dealing with. Expect insights and spiritual
breakthroughs too. You need more meaning in your life and if you feel a lack of it,
it’s time for you to change something.
On the 11th of April Venus enters your fellow Air sign Gemini and shines a light in
your sector of love and romance, in your fifth house of joy, pleasure,
entertainment, fun, playfulness, children, creativity, self-expression, hobbies,
business, sports, gifts and talents. This is the most beautiful place for Venus and
it’s very loving and romantic, very enjoyable and a pleasurable time and this is
especially good and favorable for you because Venus also makes a friendly and
harmonious trine aspect with Pluto in your sign. This is powerful energy now that
can bring you an amazing love, big love, big money, big power in some way. This
is a great energy of positivity and healthy enthusiasm, healthy playfulness. This
also has a very good influence on your children if you have them. You can
experience joy and love through your children, through your business, through
your creative projects, through your love life too. These things have a very
empowering effect on you and you feel great about it. Venus is a planet of love,
beauty, harmony, comfort, luxury, relationships, values and finances. It is a true
blessing to have Venus in your fifth house and in a harmonious aspect with Pluto
- the lord of the underworld, in your sign. Your love life shines brightly and you
will have many different options and opportunities to choose your source of joy,
love, pleasure and romance. You are looking at the world through the eyes of a
child now and this inspires you amazingly. You are beautifully motivated and you
can really feel the power and joy of your hobbies, your gifts and talents. Some of
you will be able to monetize your hobbies, your gifts and your talents, to do
something remarkable and loving thanks to your skills and abilities. Venus will be
in Gemini until the 7th of May. Make the most of this transit while she’s here
supporting you and enlightening you in many ways.
On the same day when Venus enters Gemini and trines Pluto, you have another
very lucky aspect happening between the Sun and Jupiter in fiery Aries in your
social and mental third house. This area of your life has also been very strong
since last month and now it continues to be emphasized and accentuated
beautifully. Having the Sun and Jupiter together is really strong and amazing and
you can achieve things easily now in your third house matters. This has to do
everything with your communications, your everyday connections, your younger
brothers and sisters and those who feel like them, your relatives, your neighbors,
your local community and people you randomly meet through life. This is a house
of intellectual abilities and capacities too, of mental abilities, mentality,
perception, knowledge, learning, teaching, sharing messages, news and
information, transferring knowledge, signing documents and contracts. This is
great energy for making agreements and having interviews, for having
conversations with your siblings and for resolving and improving things.
Something beautiful and positive is happening in your neighborhood, in your local
community, in your close environment. Your mind is enlightened and expanded
too. Your thought patterns become bright and constructive, inspirational and
authentic. You gain a great mental clarity now and mental strength. You also
have the New Moon Solar Eclipse happening here this month and this is a big
theme. You can expect big themes and big conversations, life-changing
conversations, karmic connections, destined meetings and conversations. This is
just the beginning of this cycle. This is the first Eclipse in 2023, and it’s also the
first Eclipse in the new cycle of Eclipses that will be happening in the next two
years in the Libra/Aries axis. You are changing your mind about something and
your whole mental program is being renewed and rejuvenated. This is a time for
a totally new way of thinking and it begins now.
You have Mars in Cancer this whole month in your sixth house of health,
routines, daily work, daily duties, daily schedules, responsibilities, health, healing,
diet, exercises, pets, service to others and self-care too. This is the perfect time
to put more energy and action into healing and wellbeing, to be more proactive
when it comes to your detoxing, your healthier lifestyle, your healthier routines
and habits. You may experience some kind of passive aggressive behavior with
your colleagues though, you may feel somehow provoked or triggered and in
need to defend or justify yourself, or you yourself may be passive aggressive or
too protective in things related to your work, your schedules, your organization,
your daily responsibilities and service to others. It’s great if you put all that energy
into healthy habits and routines, in this way you can avoid unnecessary conflicts
but even if they happen, know that this is Mars teaching you how to channel and
use your energy and how to work with it. This is a great time for finishing tasks,
for doing the work, for organizing your life in a better way and for putting energy
into self-improvement and self-development.
How the New Moon Solar Eclipse in April will influence Aquarius
Dear Aquarius, this New Moon happens on the 20th of April in fiery Aries and this
is the second New Moon in a row that is happening in the sign of Aries. But this
one is way different than the one that happened in March. The one in March
happened at the very first degrees of Aries while this one happens at the very
last degrees. This one carries the strong energy of endings and beginnings and
the last degrees are known as anaretic degrees, critical degrees, degrees that
carry wisdom of that sign. This New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse New Moon and
this gives this lunation great power and meaning. This is the first Eclipse in 2023,
and it is also the first Eclipse in a series of Eclipses that will be happening in the
next two years in the signs of Aries and Libra. The last time this series of
Eclipses was active was back between the beginning of 2004, and the beginning
of 2006, and also between the end of 2013, and the beginning of 2016. Now you
have another round of these Eclipses, happening in the same areas of your chart
and activating the same themes which doesn’t mean that the same things will
happen now. But it is very useful to know what you were going through during
those periods of time so that you can connect the dots and understand the
message that these Eclipses have to deliver to you. There is always a storyline
that is unfolding under the influence of Eclipses and for you this is affecting your
third and ninth houses. But this particular one that happens in Aries now is
activating your third house of younger brothers and sisters and those who feel
like them, your relatives, your neighbors, your local community, people from your
close surroundings, people you meet every day, your everyday connections and
communications. This is also a mental house besides being social and it affects
your way of thinking, your mental processes, your thought patterns, your
perception, your communications and expressions of your thoughts and words.
This is also the house of learning, teaching, writing, reading, sharing information,
transferring knowledge, going on short trips, local trips, transport, marketing,
broadcasting, podcasting, driving, developing skills and using your skills. So, this
is a very active placement, very social and intellectual. You are starting
something powerful here now. You are learning something new and this is just
the beginning. You are starting the process of renewing your thinking,
rejuvenating and refreshing your mental powers, your mental abilities, your
intellectual capacities. You may be teaching too. If you’re a teacher or you want
to be a teacher of some kind, this is a fantastic energy for initiating something
new and for saying goodbye to old ways of thinking and knowledge that is not
serving you anymore. You are upgrading your knowledge now. You are upgrading
your skills. You can start developing and learning great skills now that will serve
you in amazing ways. Eclipses are game changers and they bring karmic and
destined events, connections, unions, separations and situations. These are
meant to be connections and conversations. You are connecting with new people
now who are meant to be in your life, whose role in your life has a special task
and your role in their life has a special task too. This is of course always true, for
all our connections, but when you have Eclipse in your social house, this is more
important, more significant, more intense and more life-changing. You are also
changing your mind now about certain things and you’re developing a new way
of thinking. You are upgrading your intellect and you are increasing your mental
abilities. You can expect contracts, negotiations, agreements, new devices, new
vehicles, things that are important for your everyday connections and
communications. Your way of thinking is of course the most important here and
you will start changing your way of thinking now. The ruler of this Eclipse is Mars
and Mars is in its fall in Cancer, where he cannot really express its energy in the
way that Mars would want to. There is also a sense of urgency with this Eclipse
now and you may have a need to rush with making certain decisions, to rush with
signing documents or contracts, to rush when it comes to meeting someone, to
rush in your conversations. But, there is no need to rush now. There is no need
to hurry with anything because this is just the beginning and you will have a lot of
time and space to work with these energies, to learn and to grow. Expect karmic
renewals and refreshments with your brothers and sisters, something significant
with them is activated, important conversations and themes are strong. Expect
new things in your neighborhood, a new neighborhood or new neighbors
perhaps. These things can have a huge impact on your life, on your connections
and contacts. This is an amazing energy for you, full of possibilities and
opportunities that are just opening up for you and bringing you fresh new
perspectives and new ways to connect with others and with yourself.
In order to make the most out of this energy, to use the energy of Mercury
retrograde in the best possible way this month, you should really work on your
way of expressing your thoughts and words with family members. You should be
more aware of your use of words, more aware of your thought patterns related to
your home, your family, your past, your childhood, your mother, your roots and
your place of living. Take care of your words, your tone in conversations, your
topics, your way of communicating with close people, with those who feel like
your family and with your family too. Think twice before you say something. Think
twice before you react to any possible emotional trigger or provocation. Write
down your emotional insecurities, instabilities, vulnerabilities, hurts and triggers.
Write down your emotional triggers and track them, observe them, notice when
they show up and how they show up, notice what these triggers cause and how
they make you behave and react and see how that is connected to your past,
your childhood, your mother, your upbringing. Speak with your inner child. Have
a conversation with your inner child every day. Your inner child is a name for the
energetic construction that exists within you and that contains every insult that
you’ve felt during your life, every feeling of being neglected, abandoned,
betrayed, let down, set aside. Your inner child carries all your unfulfilled desires,
all your fears that you’ve been suppressing as you were growing up, all your
traumas that you’ve been pushing aside. Every time you wanted to cry but
couldn’t for some reason or didn’t want for some reason, it is packed into this
complex called inner child. Every time you felt angry and you swallowed that
anger, suppressed it and kept it inside, it got stored in your inner child. So, this is
a great time to unpack that and to have another look at it so that you can work
with it, release it, acknowledge it, and communicate with it in a real way, in the
right way. Mercury retrograde here offers you a chance to treat these things and
to understand the danger of this when it is untreated and left alone on its own to
run the show from the hidden and unknown place within you. Write down your
feelings, your senses, your thoughts and emotions, your fears, your excitements,
your enthusiasm. Write it all down or just record your voice and have your audio
journal with you. Express these things and connect with your inner messenger.
Allow your inner messenger to deliver messages to you, no matter what they are.
Be the one who can decode them and transform them into the most powerful
guidance.
- Imagine different colors shining, vibrating, pulsating, emanating from you during
the day in different situations. Imagine the blue color pulsating and stretching
from your core, then imagine golden color, then imagine pure white light, imagine
purple, imagine red, imagine orange, imagine green, imagine yellow, imagine
these beautiful colors shining their light on you and from you. Feel this beautiful
transparent light emanating from you and encompassing you. Imagine these
colors while you speak as well. Experiment. See which colors come out as you
speak about different things. See how these colors change as you change the
subject and the sound of your voice. See which words have which color, how
certain words make you feel. Have fun and enjoy.
- Sit down in a comfortable position. Keep your head, neck and spine straight.
Relax. Take a couple of deep breaths and feel your body in that position. Be in
total silence if you can. Try not to hear anything but the silence and focus on this
silence but also focus on the darkness that you see. Be totally focused on the
silence and on the darkness. You may hear a certain buzzing perhaps or
something similar. Don’t worry, it’s normal. Focus on this sound. Try to follow its
source. Go deeper and deeper. Just follow this silence and keep staring at the
darkness and do nothing else. Just be there. After a while, when you feel ready
for it, practice that you’re coming out through your forehead. Come out right
through your forehead. Imagine this and feel it. Keep practicing each day and
you will soon be able to do it easily. This exercise is powerful and meaningful for
release, for relief, for cleansing, for liberating the self. Enjoy the ride.
- Write down five things that make you feel light, that make you feel beautiful, that
make you feel happy, that make you feel truly joyful and sincerely fulfilled. What
are these things? What brings you into those states? Now, next to each of these
five things, write down three words that describe each of them. For example, if
one of those five things is the Sun, describe the Sun in three words: warmth,
light, life for example. Do this for each of the five things. Then create sentences
out of these three words that describe each of these five things. Create a
sentence that uses these three words in any way you want, but make sure that
the sentence is in affirmative mode and then use these five sentences as your
own affirmations each day.
- Feel your body as a wave and detach from your physical body. Don’t be afraid
to forget about your physical body during this exercise. Just relax and feel
yourself waving and just focus on that wave. Be that wave and move away from
your body in the shape of a wave. Be a wave in the ocean and imagine how
you’re moving along with other waves. Feel how you’re forming and then rising
and then moving and then disappearing and then forming again. Go through this
process many times. Feel the joy of being a wave. Feel the motion. Feel the
formation. Feel the crashing. Feel it all. If you have trouble to feel and visualize it,
you can find some online videos of waves or if you have a possibility to watch
waves in front of you, even better. But, it shouldn’t be hard to imagine and feel
this. Just close your eyes and let the vision carry you.
- Try to imagine your life without your past. Practice living your life as if you don’t
have a past at all. This is not easy to achieve but it is not impossible either. You
can do this. Practice it daily all the time. No memories, everything is now, there
are no memories and no previous experiences, no previous knowledge of people
in your life either. Try to approach people in your life as if you know nothing about
them, as if you are seeing them and meeting them for the first time in your life.
Reset yourself each time you come in contact with them and see how this affects
your life. See how this changes the situation with people. Practice, have fun and
enjoy.
- Change your attitude towards others in a more positive way. Change your
behavior towards others. Make it better. Change the words that you use in your
conversations with others. Use kinder words, use wiser words, use words that
are healing and see how others react. Use words that make others feel
comfortable, safe, taken care of. Use words and tone that makes others feel like
they belong. Experiment, be more open towards others, more receptive to their
ideas and proposals. Try and see how this turns out.
- Say your own prayer each day. Go into this prayer. Let this prayer be simple. Do
not make the prayer be about things that are temporary and irrelevant. Make this
prayer deep and meaningful, make it valuable, feel its strength as you’re saying
it, feel its power and feel its influence. Say your prayer consciously, bring your
energy into it, your voice, your soul and the power of your mind. Be there.
Become that prayer while you’re saying it. Make it powerful, make it meaningful,
make it strong and make it alive. Let this prayer become your mantra, your guide,
your protection.
- Try not to overthink. Try to keep your thoughts fresh, refreshed, renewed and
regenerated. Observe your thoughts, observe your mental processes and try to
catch their repetition, try to hunt them, try to notice how often your thoughts
repeat and then try to intentionally change them, bring in new thoughts. Use your
conscious effort to do so. Bring in new thoughts whenever you notice that they
are repeating, that those are old thoughts, that those are learned thoughts.
- Each day take yourself to a certain place where you will create a beautiful
memory. It can be in your home, it can be outside, it can be on the street, it can
be in the park, it can be in the car, it can be anywhere but each day make at least
three good memories and memorize them somehow, in any way you want.
Remember the place where you were and put it in your mental collection of “good
memories”. Go into totally new places too, some brand new corners. Walk in
places that you’ve never walked before. Find some corner that you’ve never seen
before and make a good memory there. Tell an affirmation. Sing your favorite
song there. Look at the sky and communicate with it. Connect with yourself. Look
at your hands. Be aware of your body. Create good new memories in as many
places as you can and do different things that make you feel good in those
places.
- Practice Standing Forward Bend pose. Do your research about it, see how it’s
done, see what it’s good for and start practicing it. This pose is known as
Uttanasana. Do your research about it and start practicing it with that knowledge
of it in your mind and heart. Enjoy.
- What has changed drastically in my life since last month? Where do I feel
strong change coming in my life? What has been challenged strongly in my life
lately? How do I feel about it?
- When do I mostly feel centered and anchored within myself? Is this feeling
conditioned by external events and situations?
- How do I feel now when I compare myself with myself from the past? How do I
feel about my future self? How do I feel when I put myself in all three
manifestations of myself? Where do I feel mostly aligned with who I am and what
does that tell me about myself?
- What do I expect from my family and what my family expects from me? How do
I feel about expectations in my family world? Where do I feel neglected or
abandoned, and where do I feel nurtured and taken care of? What does this tell
me about myself?
- Do I feel present in life or do I feel more like I am just sleepwalking through life?
Do I feel alive in my life or do I feel as if I am just passing through life or as if life
is passing by without me being in it? How do I feel about my relationship with
life? Do I feel one with life or do I feel separated from life?
PISCES
On the 3rd of April Mercury joins Uranus, North node and Venus in Taurus and
this triggers things in your third house of communications and connections. This
third house is Mercury's natural house, so Mercury feels comfortable being here
and you can do powerful things with your skills, with your intellectual abilities,
with your knowledge, and with your communication. Mercury will be here until the
11th of June which is a very long period for Mercury to be in one sign. This
happens because Mercury will be retrograde in Taurus starting from the 21st of
April, but its retrograde influence will probably be felt earlier, due to its
pre-retrograde shadow period that begins around the 7th of April. You can expect
reconnections with people. People from your past may reappear now in your life
since this is the third house of connections of all kinds, everyday connections,
siblings and those who feel like them, relatives, neighbors, people from your local
community, people from your everyday surroundings. You may be reconnecting
and reuniting with some of these people now and you can definitely do some
great things through your conversations, meetings, communications and
interactions. Expect a lot of social connections and social activities with Mercury
here. You may be speaking, writing, learning, and teaching more than usual. You
are learning skills now that can serve you greatly. This is a house of intellect,
mental powers, thought processes and thought patterns. Mercury is also a planet
of thoughts, words, transport, communications and friends. You may revisit some
local places where you reconnect with people you’ve met before, with local
people. Short trips have a very good influence on you and you also have second
chances now to make things right, to correct things, to fix things related to your
connections with siblings, with relatives, with neighbors. You can also fix and
correct things related to your knowledge, your education, your learning and
teaching, your intellectual abilities and mental powers. It’s possible to experience
certain misunderstandings and miscommunications with neighbors, relatives or
siblings, but this is nothing to worry about too much. If it happens, it’s good
because then you have a chance to make things right there. It’s also a very good
time for marketing, for broadcasting, for re-learning something. If you’ve wanted
to learn something before, but were unable for some reason, now is a great time
to start learning it. If you had to make a conversation with someone before, if you
wanted to schedule a certain meeting, if you wanted to make an appointment
before but for some reason you weren’t able to do so, now is also an ideal time
for that. You can manage a lot now thanks to communications, your mental
powers, your way of thinking and your use of words in the right way. This area of
your life has been largely triggered lately and it continues to be important. Uranus
is here and as long as Uranus is here, you can expect surprises, shocks,
awakenings, sudden shifts and shake ups in your communications, in your
connections with people around you, in your social activities. Mercury is
retrograde here and it may also be a great time for finally learning to drive for all
of you who still haven’t gotten your driving license. Mercury will be retrograde
until the 15th of May in your third house, so make sure you pay attention to your
words, your tone, your gestures, your mimics, your body language too and how
you express your inner reactions, your thoughts and opinions with others. The
Sun joins Taurus on the 21st, on the same day when Mercury stations
retrograde. This is great support to have now here and you can expect to receive
important and significant messages during this time. You can also expect some
messages from the past that enlighten and clarify certain things to you.
On the 6th of April there’s Full Moon in Libra, shining a light in your eighth house
of death, rebirth, transformation, intimacy, secrets, psychological processes,
inner work, unconscious desires and attachments, things that are hidden and
secretive, shared resources, taxes, pensions, investments, inheritances, credits,
loans, business partnerships. This is a very deep and complex placement for Full
Moon and you may feel more emotional than usual. This affects your
relationships and partnerships, your shared resources, your partner’s money or
family’s money or money that you share with somebody else. This energy brings
to light certain things in your business partnerships and in your intimate
relationships. Some secrets may be revealed and exposed. You are going
through some changes here, changes with money, changes with partners,
changes with how you deal with certain things that are unseen and unknown. You
are releasing things. You are letting go of past traumas. You are transforming
things that are pulling you down into things that propel you forward. You are
exposing yourself to yourself too and you are experiencing some kind of ending
and a rebirth now.
On the 11th of April Venus enters your fellow Mutable sign Gemini and shines a
light in your fourth house of home, family, family relationships, relationships with
those who feel like family, your house, your place where you live, your location,
your residency, your real estate, your inner home, your mother, your inner child,
your emotional stability and security. You have been through a lot of emotional
challenges and upheavals lately. You may have been through some family
frustrations and irritations. You may have experienced a lot of family drama while
Mars has been here in your fourth house until recently. Mars has been in your
fourth house since the 20th of August until the 25th of March. So, this is the first
month without Mars in your home and family sector after seven months and now
you have Venus here to bring harmony in your family relationships and your
home situations. Venus is here to remind you of the beauty of your home and
family life, to remind you that your family is there for you, that you can count on
your family and those who feel like a family. This is an amazing transit really and
Venus will be here until the 7th of May. Venus also makes a positive and friendly
aspect with Pluto in Aquarius in your twelfth house. This is great energy for you
and you can expect help and support from your family if you’re experiencing any
kind of trouble with addictions, with your mental condition, with your
subconscious fears, with your spiritual journey, with your need to rest and relax,
with your inner world and things that others cannot really see and understand.
You are now supported greatly by your closest ones and you can expect great
harmony and beauty in your home and family. Just be careful around the 14th of
April when Venus will make a tense square aspect with Saturn in your sign. But
this is a short-term aspect and it goes away quickly. Just be aware that you may
be somehow rejecting or avoiding somebody’s support and help or you may be
sabotaging yourself. But Venus in your fourth house is truly amazing and
comforting transit for all your home and family situations and events. You will
enjoy your time spent home and your time spent with family.
On the same day when Venus enters Gemini and makes a trine with Pluto,
there’s another very powerful and beneficial aspect happening between the Sun
and your original ruler Jupiter in fiery Aries in your second house of money,
earnings, financial situation, budget, possessions, ownings, resources, values,
self-worth and priorities. This is an amazing and lucky aspect for your finances
and your earnings. You can expect lucky opportunities and expansion of your
resources and your finances. This is also something that’s been largely aspected
and triggered lately in your life due to Jupiter’s transit in Aries that’s been active
for the whole year with little breaks and due to last month’s big reactivation of
Aries energy. This is now even more activated and highlighted. The Sun and
Jupiter are two big powerful energies that have very strong protective and
guiding powers. Jupiter expands the warmth and power of the Sun while the Sun
enlightens the meaning of Jupiter. This is amazing for your material security, your
financial stability, your way of earning money, your self-worth, your self-validation,
your self-sufficiency and ability to earn money. This area of your life is very
significant this month not only because of this aspect, but also because there’s a
New Moon Solar Eclipse happening here on the 20th of April. This is the first
Eclipse in 2023, and it’s also the first Eclipse in a new series of Eclipses that will
be active in the next two years.
You are moving forward when it comes to your finances and earnings. You are
initiating a new chapter of life in this area. You are starting a whole new way of
earning money, of relating to money, of using your resources and of valuing
yourself, your gifts and talents. You are discovering or rediscovering some of
your gifts and talents that you can use for improving your finances and your
material stability. You are taking action in these areas of your life and it’s all about
how you value yourself, your gifts, your powers, your abilities and capacities. You
are changing your priorities for the better and you’re starting to recognize how
worthy you are, how talented you actually are and how you can make a living
thanks to your abilities, capacities and talents.
Mars is ruler of this Eclipse and Mars is in its fall in Cancer this whole month, in
your fifth house of joy, pleasure, love, romance, children, creativity,
self-expression, self-employment, self-esteem, sport activities, entertainment,
fun, celebrations and memorable moments. With Mars here you are putting a
great amount of energy and action into your business perhaps, into your creative
projects, into hobbies, into gifts and talents, into your children if you have them,
into your love life, into your romantic life or into your sport results if you are into
sports. Make sure you don’t rush and act out of impulse during this time. Mars in
Cancer has a difficulty to express its energy in the way Mars would like to
express it. Mars doesn’t have its full strength in Cancer but it can find different
ways of using that energy too. But Mars makes a positive and supportive trine
aspect with your sign while in Cancer so you can definitely expect support from
Mars in these areas of your life. You are putting more conscious effort into
enjoying things in life and finding pleasure in things that you do, that you create,
that you express. You feel energized when you’re surrounded by young people
and children.
How the New Moon Solar Eclipse in April will influence Pisces
Dear Pisces, this New Moon happens on the 20th of April in the sign of Aries and
this is the second New Moon in a row that is happening in the same sign, in this
case in the sign of fiery Aries. You already had New Moon in Aries on the 21st of
March and now you have New Moon in the same area of your chart again. But,
these two New Moons are not the same of course. The first one happened at the
very first degrees of the sign and this one happens at the very last degrees of
Aries. This one is happening in conjunction with Jupiter, the great expander, the
planet of abundance, meaning, prosperity and wisdom. Last degrees also
represent wisdom and endings and beginnings. So, you have more wisdom now
than during the previous New Moon here, you have more experience related to
second house matters where this New Moon happens. You are more
experienced now when it comes to money and finances, when it comes to your
priorities and values. Now you know something you didn’t know then. This New
Moon is also a Solar Eclipse New Moon which makes a huge difference when
compared to previous New Moon. This is the first Eclipse in 2023., and it’s also
the first Eclipse in a series of Eclipses that will be happening on the Aries/Libra
axis in the next two years. The last time this series of Eclipses was active was
back between the beginning of 2004., and the beginning of 2006., and also
between the end of 2013., and the beginning of 2016. Think back to these times,
see what big transitions and transformations you’ve been through back then.
What has been going on with your finances, with your material security and
stability, with your self-worth, with your priorities, with your budget and earnings.
If you were too young for earning, then look at what’s been happening with your
perception of money, your own relationship with money, your spendings and
savings, your resources, your way of valuing yourself, your way of treating
yourself, your way of using your gifts and talents. Some lessons that you may
have skipped back then may be active again so that you can learn them. Some
opportunities that were active back then that you missed to act on, will probably
be active now again so that you can make the best of them now. This is a time
for initiations, for new chapters in your life when it comes to self-worth, self-love,
self-esteem, self-confidence. You are discovering some of your hidden gifts and
talents now too. You are finding new ways of earning money, new ways of saving
and spending your resources. You are making new agreements with yourself
about these things and you’re taking action towards achieving your financial
goals. But this is not only about financial things, these are your priorities and your
ability to provide yourself everything you need in this life. You are making things
better now, you have great opportunities that are just starting to open up for you.
You may have a sense of urgency to start something new related to these
second house matters, but it’s better if you don’t rush with anything. You will have
plenty of time and space for doing the work in these areas and for being
proactive. This is just the beginning of this series of Eclipses. Eclipses are life
changing events and you can expect karmic situations, destined events and
circumstances when it comes to your financial situation and your relationship with
money, your money psychology, your self-worth and your way of valuing your
gifts and talents. You can make some amazing new beginnings now that will
bring you greater self-esteem and increase self-worth. This is not a new theme
for you but it is a totally new approach and perception of these things. You are
ready to change your priorities and to renew and refresh your perception of
money and financial stability in life. You are going to become financially
independent in the next two years, and if you’ve already achieved that, you’re
about to bring all of that to a higher level and to bring in more quality in living your
life and expressing your abilities and capacities.

into your home, rounded shapes, beautiful paintings, bring in more feminine
energy into your home and family world regardless of your gender. Invite your

for them, or invite them out for a dinner. Do these things together. Eat together,
prepare things together, go and visit some cultural events together, work on
beautifying your space with your family. This doesn’t have to be your blood
family, this can also be your soul family. Think about the symbol of Venus and do
your research about it. See what it means, do your research about the meaning
of astrological Venus and do your best to invoke that energy into your life.
Harmonize your inner and outer family relationships and your inner and outer
home atmosphere. You are greatly supported to do that now, good luck.
- Sit down in a comfortable position, close your eyes, take a couple of deep
breaths and just stand like that for a couple of moments, breathe normally, don’t
focus on anything, don’t focus on breathing, just let the breathing happen
spontaneously and focus on the top of your head. Feel how you’re being pulled
upwards from the above and feel a gentle hook, feel an etheric hook that pulls
you up through the top of your head upwards. Feel how your whole body is being
pulled upward through the top of your head. Feel this gentle pull, feel the hook
lifting up your body by stretching the top of your head. Practice this each day and
just lift yourself up as many times as you can in this exercise. If you can, lift
yourself up fully and feel how you’re floating in space while you’re still feeling the
pull through the top of your head. When you’re done, put yourself back slowly,
feel the release from the top of your head and stay like that for some time. Slowly
open your eyes. Enjoy the ride.
- Make a couple of breaks during the day, breaks from whatever it is that you’re
doing and spend only five minutes with yourself during that break and use it for
just focusing on being free. Feel yourself being totally free to feel anything you
want, to do anything you want, to experience anything you want. Just feel that
feeling of total freedom, of total relaxation. There is nothing in those five minutes,
forget about the whole existence. Make this break and intentionally step into this
state, make yourself feel as if there is nothing, there is not any obligation in life,
there are no duties that you have to do. Stay in this state for just five minutes,
practice it and celebrate this moment of bliss. Use these five minutes to detach
from everything and to just feel alive, just feel life, just breathe in and breathe out,
be aware of this process, be aware of your body, be aware of your surroundings,
feel the rhythm of life and really experience those five minutes fully.
- Choose one song that represents you right now in the best possible way. If you
could be a song, which song would you be? Think about it carefully. Then, listen
to this song, see why you chose exactly this song, see how it makes you feel,
see what you can learn from this song about yourself, see what it has to tell you.
You chose this song for some reason, now go through it and see how it helps
you, see what it has to reveal to you about you, see why you chose this song,
see what illusions or fears you feed through this song, try to gain as much as you
can through this. Enjoy, have fun and discover more about yourself.
- Write down your own healing tips for yourself, give yourself healing tips. See
what kind of healing tips you gave to yourself. Was it easy for you to come up
with them or was it a bit of a struggle? Observe the process of creating these
tips and observe how you feel while you’re creating them. Then start practicing
these tips, and see if they feel good for you, see if you know yourself good
enough to give yourself healing tips.
- Feel yourself as a flower in the rain. Imagine yourself as a flower, feel yourself
rooted in earth, feel your own gentle nature, feel your lightness, feel your beauty,
feel your oneness with everything around you, with the sky, with the earth, with
the grass, with other flowers around you. Feel your connection with everything
that surrounds you and feel the spring rain falling down on you and feel how it
feels to be this beautiful flourished flower in the rain. Feel the drops of the rain
refreshing you, feel the smell of everything around you, feel your own smell. Feel
yourself as drops of this rain falling on the flower as well. Feel how it feels to
water this flower as a drop of rain and simultaneously feel yourself as a flower
being watered by the rain. Do your best to be like this flower in your life, to
emanate this beautiful smell and beautiful energy, to be refreshed and watered
as this flower in the rain and also work towards being those drops of rain too that
water the flower and nurture it. Enjoy it fully and feel the benefits of it.
- Take a short trip somewhere, with your friends or on your own. Go and visit
some place, go and visit a local village, go on a picnic, take yourself somewhere,
change the scenery, change your environment at least for a couple of hours
during a day in a week. Go places, visit different events and happenings near
you. Go to museums, art galleries if there is a possibility for something like that.
Visit local places that you haven’t visited before.
- Make a collage of your current emotional and psychological state. Choose any
images, colors, symbols, anything that you want, anything that you feel and put it
in a collage, create your own collage of inner state. Research, find things that
resonate with you, with how you feel on the inside and connect it all into one.
Express your state of being, express your feelings, your emotions, your thoughts,
your worries, your paranoias, your happiness, your joy, your anger, all that there
is, all that you currently feel, express it in this way, find things that resonate with
you now and make a collage of your inner world.
