ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Influenced by THE WORLD
Music: Acredita No Véio (Listen To The Old Man) – Sofi Tukker Remix – Rodrigo y Gabriela feat. Pelé, Fix You – Ben Harper & Soweto Gospel Choir feat. Jordan C. Brown, Don’t Worry Baby – The Beach Boys
You are in the in between, sweet Aries, and this is a time of GREAT transformation. Things might feel like life and death right now. But actually, you are just in a waiting period. Almost like you’re in a purgatory waiting to see what heaven on earth feels like. Also, please listen to your elders now—the living as well as those who have passed—and let them guide you this month. They may need you to listen FOR them. This is a great healing and will prepare all of you for what’s coming next. Also, communicating is just as important as listening this month. Keep speaking your truths aloud. Talk to your elders about where you are going and what you want in life. I’ve been waking up in the night and paying attention to my dreams for all the ways I’m speaking my truths—and it’s as if my soul is showing me how to speak. Watch for these clues, sweet Aries, because you have a lot to share with usl. You may hear from your soul, your dearly departed or from consciousness. However the messages come, this is your guide now. Your color this month is blue. Wear it, feel it and connect to it. Let it soothe you and be a reminder of your inner truth. And finally, this purgatory for you may have a tie to sex and money. Meaning either another level of intimacy is coming OR unexpected money is turning up to bring you into a new level of trust in your next evolution. Have patience as this comes together for you!
Final Thought: “Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold, for if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you, so in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.” – Leonardo Da Vinci
TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)
Influenced by the TWO OF PENTACLES
Music: Magic, Rudy Mancuso & Maia Mitchell, Slip Away – Live From Manchester – Mumford & Sons, Hey Girl – Lady Gaga & Florence Welch
Nothing I see means anything… Taurus, this month, it’s okay to question and feel your way through. Let yourself mourn the old you. You are letting go of some deep emotions. As you are letting go of these emotions, you can feel the potential of your higher council coming closer to lead you to your next destination. There is something to what you want to OWN now. Perhaps a physical blouse, car, career or maybe an owning of yourself even. This could also be a level of financial security you’re yearning to OWN. This is not about manifesting what you want, but rather releasing the feeling of trying to control things. How can we bring you back into the magic of what is possible? How can you ask and forget? This is your focus this month. Oh, I could see myself there! Then let go. Oh, I could have that life! Then let it go. Oh, I want that family dynamic! Then let it go. Let it all go and focus on peace where you are! Also, part of your magic now is waking up and finding beauty! What makes you feel good in your body, in your surroundings? Try spending a little more time on certain things than you normally would, like your hair or picking out clothes that make you feel extra special. Make yourself your favorite smoothie, one that gives you a lift and lightness. You know what works for you! Or if not, try some different tactics that might! Maybe it’s just looking in the mirror with a wink and smile! Finally, reach out to the females in your life. You might feel beauty from being the support for a woman who needs you—a sister, mother, or your bestie!
Final Thought: “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says, ‘I’m possible’!” – Audrey Hepburn
GEMINI (May 21- June 20)
Influenced by the DEATH
Music: Strange (Edit) – Celeste, CRY – Jon Batiste, Alaska
Maggie Rogers, Let It All Go feat. Preservation Hall Jazz Band – Beats Antique
Here is a project for you, sweet Gemini! Can you spend at least a week this month dedicating four minutes in the morning and four minutes at night to sitting still and repeating the following: Thank you for my gifts. Thank you, God, for my gifts. Thank you, Higher Self, for my gifts. Thank you, Allah, for my gifts. Thank you, Divine Feminine, for my gifts. Just pray to your Source, giving the power and strength to the Universe while also acknowledging YOUR gift. Gemini, don’t stress if you are feeling more alone this month. This is part of your test to see if you are ready to surrender and accept more of your gifts to share with the world. You are fighting the darkness to step more into the light. What are you holding onto? Let it all go! Go listen to Beats Antique! You are the snake shedding your skin, becoming raw and fresh. Let it all go! This card is also about being more aware of finances and sexual promiscuity. What does that trigger for you? Notice and become more aware. And let it all go. Finally, don’t let anything that’s happening right now mean more than what it actually does. Your future will become clearer. Now is just about giving thanks and letting go!
Final Thought: “We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Influenced by the JUDGMENT
Music: Banga – Ali Farka Touré, Ry Cooder, There’s A Place – Roo Panes, In the Anthropocene – Nick Mulvey
Cancer, you are accessing another level of wisdom this month. That means it’s a time to really listen INWARD. Def not a time to listen to others. Go in. Dig deep. What are you finding? What do you need? What do you need to give up? How can you be protecting yourself? How can you be showing others how to show up for you? What have you been making more complex in your mind that you can simplify and love? If you expect easy progress now, you’ll be shown how your mind is “expecting.” However, if you choose to do the work just to do the work, it will pay off, and you’ll see success in the end. Your wisdom is teaching you this. Think back to a year ago, and I guarantee you’ll feel you understand things so much better now! You are a different person—all the wiser. Let go of the illusions and hardships, and let life feel easier in this simpler place. Feel that sweet relief! Strip things bare and put the past behind you. Also, there is another city in query. Trust and know what your wisdom is giving you about that city. It’s okay to say EXACTLY what you want!
Final Thought: “Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.” – Marcus Aurelius
LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)
Influenced by the Eight OF CUPS
Music: Blue – Madison Beer, Olalla – Blanco White, I Just Want To Be Your Everything – Andy Gibb
Welcome miracles now, except not as miracles but instead as love and healing. Because miracles just require serenity and no effort, expect love. April is such a juxtaposition for you, Leo—from healing and rest, to the magic of near insane vision of what is coming for you. Can you love the rest and recovery as you begin to see the magic of where your soul is about to take you? Trust in the relaxation. Can you be open to what you are going to be shown? Because it’s quite extraordinary, and you aren’t going to want to miss this. Can you spend your weekends resting under your favorite tree? If you don’t have a favorite, go find a place in nature that soothes you and spend time there. Bring a book and a snack and let go. I wouldn’t be surprised if even by you going back there, someone or something shows up physically to point you in the right direction of your purpose. Your heart wants you to be void of action. Any planning now is very ill-advised, especially a wedding. Hold off till next month please?. With that said, anything unplanned or spontaneous is a big fat yes! Also, anything spiritual or meditative is a HOLY YES! (P.S. take dreams now as truth as well!)
Final Thought: “Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.” – Cecil Beaton
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Influenced by THE HANGED MAN
Music: World On Fire – The Royal Concept, Dear August – PJ Harding & Noah Cyrus, Peaches (feat. Daniel Caesar & Giveon) – Justin Bieber
There is nothing to fear, Virgo. The world may seem mad, but sweet Virgo, you should be dancing. April is about your body, NOT YOUR MIND. Bring it back to the feelings inside. If you don’t dance, go move. Go for a run! Go sign up for THE CLASS. Whatever will pull you into your physical body! If you know astrology, you’ll recognize this month as your time to connect with Chiron. Deep healing. This healing is important around your birthday, which is quite an extraordinary time for you this year. Perhaps more than any other. Ah wait, I correct myself—there is one way for you to use your mind now: in teaching and learning! Take that extra class! Dive deeper into your learning or teaching. Lose yourself to more understanding of subjects of interest. Just make sure you are enjoying the learning and not forcing it. Finally, green is your color this month. Wear it. Connect to your green thumb. Eat your greens. Green is connected to your heart chakra, so follow the lead of your heart now.
Final Thought: Dear Young Me: When it gets hard, remember: You are not alone and it gets better, I’m waiting for you! – Take care, Older Me
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 22)
Influenced by the TEMPERANCE
Music: Harmony Hall – Vampire Weekend, Cola – Club Mix – CamelPhat & Elderbrook
Expect doors to swing open for you, sweet Libra! Your requirement for them to swing far and wide is that you let go of past hurt and pain. What healing have you not allowed to occur fully? This is the month to forgive yourself for holding onto that pain for so long. FORGIVE YOURSELF. Allow your mind to let go and heal, and your body will follow suit. How can you mother yourself now? With full peace and love, hold yourself with loving compassion. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO HEAL. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ACCEPT AND EMBRACE FULL HEALING. YOU DESERVE TO HAVE THIS MIRACLE. I think you know what I’m talking about. You are so close! You have come SO FAR! Be patient this month as you are reminded HOW far you’ve come. Blocks are being removed left and right. Nurture the positivity and good will you are feeling, and let the old dissolve around you. Keep yourself clean and clear. Be careful not to toxify and revert back. You are blessed with luck now, and don’t be afraid to share in this good fortune!
Final Thought: “I’m going to make everything around me beautiful – that will be my life.” – Elsie de Wolfe
SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Influenced by the THREE OF WANDS
Music: Gold – Roosevelt Remix – MILCK, You Don’t Know – Leon Bridges, Sea Of Love –
Langhorne Slim & Jill Andrews, Fever (feat. Mischa) – Joachim Pastor, Roses – Soleima
Obstacles are being lifted, Scorpio! But as they lift, you may still find yourself struggling with your emotions. Trust in the process. All I can say is that as you step more into your purpose, you may be called into question. Perhaps this is just in your mind, but there is a struggle with confidence. So please, I beg of you, be kind to yourself this month. Notice where you struggle with your emotions, and reflect honestly on how they’re poking at your confidence. I will just remind you that you deserve this. How can you remind yourself of that too? There is a level of fate at play here. And it’s connected to how you are using your voice, including your writing, right now. The possibility of returning to school or furthering your education is likely coming soon as well. This education may also play out in the form of travel to unknown or distant places. The cards pulled up here can be tied to CARDS—meaning, perhaps you’re interested in learning the tarot ?. Whatever you are being called to now, know that it is preparation for quite the harvest in fall. Faith is your mantra this month.
Final Thought: “If you wish to be a warrior, prepare to get broken. If you wish to be an explorer, prepare to get lost. And if you wish to be a lover, prepare to be both.” – Daniel Saint
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 19)
Influenced by the FOUR OF WANDS
Music: Zodiac – Will Gittens, Being a Woman – Lake Street Dive, 679 (feat. Remy Boyz) – Fetty Wap
Only you can deprive yourself of anything, Sag. Think that over. What is your rush now to have it all figured out? I know you’re ready for the next adventure, but how about taking one day at a time? Enjoy spring as if it’s summer. Have a celebration. And start putting into words what you want to call in next without over-strategizing! What do you want? What do you expect? You can say those aloud without having to figure it all out. Let’s start there. Can you play that game now? Can you connect with your curious, teenage self? The youth! That energy is what will benefit your manifesting now. Don’t be afraid to travel. (I trust you will know how to do that safely for yourself!) Connect with that free, curious bird of self. And remember, your words are powerful now.
Final Thought: “Busy is a choice. Stress is a choice. Joy is a choice. Choose well.” – Ann Voskamp
CAPRICORN (Dec 20 – Jan 19)
Influenced by THE EMPRESS
Music: The Story – Brandi Carlile, Howling – Sofi Tukker Remix – RY X, Somebody to Love – Jefferson Airplane
Capricorn, this is your time. Your moment. Set the goal. Focus on your objectives. And do not let up. You feel your way is lost? Well, this is NOT loss. You are beginning to recognize your gifts. And it’s as simple as taking a step towards them—keep taking the next step. You are about to meet the right people who are going to help you. Support is ready to show up in substantial ways, Capricorn. Can you allow the support in now? It’s as simple as that. When the hand reaches for you, take it. All you need to do is commit to yourself, your goals, your partners and your truths. Also take care of yourself now too. Get your teeth cleaned. Get the check up. Don’t procrastinate any longer.
Final Thought: “The best things in life are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.” – Robert Louis Stevenson
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Influenced by THE HIGH PRIESTESS
Music: The Lightning Strike (What If This Storm Ends?) – Snow Patrol, Call My Name – HAERTS, How Does It Feel – London Grammar, Anxious Angel – Maja Francis
What does your gut say, Aquarius? You know now more than ever! Even if you’re not sure what it all means, truly trust in your knowing. Your life is changing, and it might feel a little confusing, but trust in the deeper knowing. And this knowing may actually show up for someone around you who needs your support, so trust in how you can help, and don’t be afraid to reach out. Also, please remember that when you feel the struggle within, this may not be yours. Your knowing is growing like wildfire, and this can feel like a LOT. But do not create a story of terror or suffering for yourself from it. This is part of your path and you can handle carrying some of the pain of others. You are the high priestess this month, Aquarius. She is frighteningly powerful, beautiful and intimidating. Do not be afraid to own this part of yourself. Step into her power rather than being frightened by her. You have the power to save another now. Just by BEING, you are holding space for important soul growth now. Finally, watch your dreams. There are some huge insights there to help you and perhaps even others. Let the work be done in your sleep! And keep amethyst near your bed if you can! This will help with the dreamwork?.
Final Thought: “We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.” – John Lennon
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Influenced by the SEVEN OF WANDS
Music: Prideless – Natasha Kmeto, Nothing Without You (feat. Thomas Oliver) – Tinlicker
Get ready for things to stabilize, Pisces. It’s as though you are the bear coming out of hibernation. You feel hungry alive and grounded in who you are. A healing feels almost complete. A healing that is going to open you for more love and support in your life. Your work in April is about protecting your needs as you transition into the finale of this healing and enter back into the world. You know what you need and deserve. Do not falter in that. This also feels like an excellent time to consider buying or investing in property. Don’t be afraid to explore this further now. And actually, don’t be afraid of anything new that wants to materialize now. Trust what the universe is bringing you, while remembering what you deserve and desire. And back to that bear: How do you want to emerge this spring? Go buy yourself something fancy that makes you feel ready for your comeback! You deserve this!
Final Thought: “Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.” – Helen Keller
