Your horoscope this week: April 4, 2021
The week before the new moon in Aries has a lot of energy to do, and not much time to do everything we want. Thank goodness Mercury leaves Pisces and pulls in Aries, reminding us that it’s always a good time to practice ‘no’ – especially if ‘no’ will serve us better in the long run than the instant good feeling we get when we say ‘yes’. In fact, openness, directness and drive are the name of the game as the planets begin to pile up in Aries. And it is also a good thing that Jupiter forms a flowing aspect for Aries’ ruler Mars in Gemini. We can look forward to a very informed decision making, followed by good luck. It is important to realize that although these influences are mostly positive, they are related to Pluto which will still square the Sun and on the day of the new moon will form a perfect square for Venus in Aries. We know that Pluto in Capricorn evokes the shadow of the structures and systems that make up our lives, and in the United States, the shadow can be very visible in our carcass system and our capitalist approach to health care. Venus in Aries is candid and bold and Venus in Aries wants to protect what he loves at all costs. A tense aspect between these two characters is a trial full of power play. Whatever you have heard about masculinity, patriarchy, god of war, remember: Aries is a sign that fights for life, and celebrates it. Aries wants to be new ways of being, and rejects any structure that only serves the past. Aries Sun & Aries Rising The week leading up to the Aries new moon is a favorable week for you, if you like it. You know as well as anyone that even good news can not be forced on a ram. But when you are ready, when you are ready, good things come to pass. How can you be sure that you are open to new opportunities and how will you indicate your readiness? Stay extra aware of the agreements you make this week, the way you use your word; not only with others, but also with yourself. Your word is a spell, so if you speak out the life within yourself, then the life you are calling for. The more precious your word is to you, the more meaningful your interactions will be, and deeper insights will come from these interactions. Think of it as a positive discipline: to build the world you want, talk about it. Illustration by Stefhany Lozano Taurus Sun & Taurus Rising It takes a while to find out what it’s all for, the souvenirs and diary entries, the certificates you carry from the city. to the city to provide evidence of the lives you have lived and the possibility of future lives. This week you will find that there is a clear purpose to everything you store in you; there are many ways you can share the meaning of yourself with the world around you. Release yourself, Taurus, from the pressure to find ‘the right moment’. Every step you take to share the riches of your inner world with your outside world – whether through public work or rituals, creative shops or mentorship – the more you find yourself in tune with this idea of ’timing’ instead of subject to it. In a parallel universe where everything has already happened and always happens, it is always the right time to catch up. Illustration by Stefhany Lozano Gemini Sun & Gemini Rising If you have a lot of people above you and power roads you can not see, drawing on that dotted line can feel like you are drawing off your value system. Even working for yourself offers many opportunities to put someone else first. Freelancers know the pain of saying too much today, otherwise there is no pit to drink tomorrow. Although these negotiations are an important part of being in the public sphere, you do not have to define your experience of them. In fact, this month, chances are you’ve become disillusioned with what you thought your job was, and motivated to determine exactly what you want your job to be – on your own terms. The value you attach to your offerings, your gift and your time is directly related to its impact and the people who can benefit from it. Illustration by Stefhany Lozano Cancer Sun & Cancer Rising We talk a lot about generational wealth, how it gives people a leg up in their lives, but we rarely look at the way generational debt can hold people back. And while it’s most tangible to talk about a literal money sentence about debt, the kind of debt someone can carry is far wider than the numbers on the bank statements. Our wealth is directly related to how we understand our limits – what we have at our disposal, what we are capable of, what we are willing to risk and lose in order to be free. This week you can expect to find clarity regarding the debt you have worked off and the old self that you are also ready to work off. This clarity is necessary when re-evaluating your public role. This brightness will help you figure out how to respect the shady parts without taking the reins. Illustration by Stefhany Lozano Leo Sun & Leo Rising Every time you are able to learn more, you are also in a position to teach. Think of it this way: relationships never flow in one direction. When you are forced to redefine your boundaries, not only in relation to the behavior of others, but also in accordance with your own impulses, you push those around you to respect what you make “you” and in turn respect what makes them who they are. Definition is a pleasure, isn’t it? Almost as enjoyable as losing yourself. Staying at the shoreline where water and sand mix is a sensory haven. But if the current pulls, it can be unbearable to stand in the wet stands. It is good to know what the water is capable of, and it is good to know the true texture and temperature of the sand. It is good to know the role you are actively playing in your own life before you want to play a role in someone else. Illustration by Stefhany Lozano Virgo Sun & Virgo Rising I know you are tired, dear Virgin. I’m tired too, just to look at your schedule. It’s good to be tired. It is good to acknowledge that you are a little burnt out and, as always, feel that you can get a little more money for all the money you continue to spend energetically and financially. The truth is that your efforts are far from drops in a bucket, or if they are drops in a bucket, they are very valuable drops in a very precious bucket. Your service to the communities in which you are a part enriches both the communities and you. You learn to contribute from a place of empowerment and eagerness to learn more. These learning opportunities are the key to not only shifting your relationship to wealth, but also to helping you adapt to a changing world in the way all things change – including you. Illustration by Stefhany Lozano Libra Sun & Libra RisingIt may sound counter-intuitive, but the truth is, the more time you devote to yourself, the more likely you are to spend quality time with others. Of course, you already know this on a certain level, but it can be difficult to give preference to what gives you joy without trying to share the joy with others. You love to share and love to spread that joy. Joy of cooperation is good – big, even – but setting aside solo time to fit in with your inner child and create what may seem to be brainwashing is an important Libra mode of operation. The more you write yourself into your schedule, the more aware you will become of fluctuations in your condition: what inspires you, what challenges you, what bores you. In turn, you will become more aware of how your relationships affect and shape you. And how you shape it. Illustration by Stefhany Lozano Scorpio Sun & Scorpio Rising When most people talk about their relationships with their family members, they talk about a story. In the story, there are fixed narratives, who people are and who they intend to be in a relationship with each other. The story is always written, but as long as it is written by one person, it is unlikely to change. In the hands of another character, it’s clear that the perspective will shift and the plot will thicken. We know this, but it’s hard to live according to what we know, not to get hurt when people stop treating us like they used to. Hard to remember, in the everyday everyday context of appointments and assignments, pets and jobs, there are numerous opportunities for loved ones to change and that their change has very little to do with us. To build a life together is to be in a constant state of loss and acceptance, to want to live together through change? Illustration by Stefhany Lozano Sagittarius Sun & Sagittarius Rising As Ram season picks up power, especially with Mercury slipping into Ram this week, it’s a great time to switch from research mode to action mode. But the action mode for you is not the same as it is for your fire sign brethren. Your research so far has played an important role in your path, even the lessons that did not come from books. Crisis and grief were worthy teachers, along with your mentors and friends. The wisdom and approaches you have learned from it will serve you now, as long as you are able to realize that your intuition and point of view are essential to every step you take. To express yourself is to honor the influence that your past and all the people in it had on you. To share yourself and what you know with others is to share all the teachers’ work. It is an act of gratitude. Illustration by Stefhany Lozano Capricorn Sun & Capricorn Rising There are many ways to be rich in this world, and Capricorn, this week to feel your wealth, meets you in front of your door. This is a great time to go to your support networks, throw the bucket into the full well, tap on a tree and lick at the spout. You do not have to drink champagne every time you get thirsty, but you can take a moment and appreciate all the ways you have mentioned this kind of abundance, work for it and take the necessary care. Even more, feeling more like you is safe and secure enough to share it, and sometimes it can be hard to find people who are worthy of your trust. The good news is, the more you are able to connect with the source of your abundance – which is renewable, because that’s who you are – the easier it will be to allow others to celebrate you and their abundance. to share with you. We enrich each other every time we get together, it does not have to be forever. Illustration by Stefhany Lozano Waterman Sun & Aquarius Rising It is not inherently capitalist or whatever you want to distinguish, to carve and decorate a small piece of the pie. with your name. We do not live in a collective culture, and although some collective decisions may serve us, the cult of the individual is alive and all over the world. People have been writing love stories for a long time and think that what they feel in their heart was an original flame, the first of its kind to burn and the first to go out so terribly. Without faith we would not have the books we have. It’s important to recognize that you want to be the protagonist, that you want a great story, and that you want it to matter. Wanting is essential work, and the more you accept this part of you, the easier it will channel into passionate projects. Illustration by Stefhany Lozano Pisces Sun and Pisces Rise Do not let the turmoil make you disappear, dear Pisces; you know that the river can get uncomfortable from time to time, but that does not mean that the hard times are going to last. Part of the Zodiac’s sign of surrender is knowing that sometimes the best way to fight a strong current is to swim with it. You may not know where this is going to take you, but you can bet on the tides that it will be much better than where you will end up if you deny something that is inevitable. Who you are and everything you have reserved for such moments will not only see you through, but also serve as a guideline for those within your circle. Let your surrender be a kind of refuge of faith for everyone who comes to you. Be the school for fish. What you offer will not exhaust you, it will give you new insight into who you are.
