Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Air signs, this week’s energy encourages you to call on your tribe and ground yourself for the turbulence this week may bring. Although Mercury will enter your fellow-air sign, Gemini May 3, a trying T-square between the Taurus placements and Aquarius placements forces you to reckon with any inner fears or insecurities buried within. Financial pressures may be looming this week, but focus on what you can control. Yes, expenses may be increasing, but concentrate on where your income is increasing too. If you don’t allow yourself to be overwhelmed by your growth, you’ll see that in the end, you have exactly what you need (I mean down to the cent). Relationships feel troublesome at times, but they may not be from your partner. If you feel that your social interactions keep leading to temper tantrums and hurt feelings, it’s probably you. Instead of projecting your internal frustrations this week, sit with them. Acknowledge what’s holding you back once and for all.

Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Air signs, this week calls you to lighten the load and take the pressure off when the Scorpio Full Moon hits your money houses. Although this week brings many financial gains, it could also bring an increase in expenses and material responsibilities; it may be hard to make decisions or stick to the long-term plan. If feeling stressed, get active and break a sweat midweek when the Moon moves into Sagittarius. Dance, laugh, climb. Do what you need to let out the blocked emotions circulating through your body. If that doesn’t work, it may be time to check in with your therapist or lean on a supporting friend — the worst thing you can do right now is fake your happiness. Although this week challenges your willingness to rise above your current limitations, learn to accept your not so okay emotions. Being the joyful cheerleader 24/7 doesn’t serve you or your purpose. Try not to get stuck in a pity party. Despite your internal breakdowns, you should feel proud that you stay true to yourself and uphold your boundaries. Depending on your placements, this may be a week where you need to reevaluate a domestic decision. There may be issues this weekend regarding family, your foundation, and your physical home. Try to take a deep breath and visualize possible solutions. Try to think win-win. Key: learning how to decipher when you’re putting too much pressure on yourself and when it’s your responsibility to act. Reminder: you don’t always have to act out your impulses-- sometimes, the best way to solve a problem is to do nothing at all.

Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Fire signs, this week’s astrology calls you to rest as the Scorpio Full Moon moves into your most sensitive houses. Rather than digging your heels into resistance, the Scorpio Full Moon asks you to loosen up. Learn to listen to the parts of your body that ache for stillness; the places of your mind that demand silence. Depending on your placements, you may feel a call to rest from social media or spend extra time alone. However, be mindful that your feelings are temporary, and you will rise again. So instead of boxing up your big dreams, break them down. Organize your desires into small steps this way, they are manageable. Although this energy highlights your willingness to fight for a cause, remind yourself that you have nothing to prove. History speaks for you. By midweek, your energy levels should peak. However, resist taking anything new until the Taurus New Moon in a few weeks. Stay grounded in your current schedule and commitments. More space for creativity and “freedom” will open up soon. You’re on the right path.

Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Water signs, this week if you are struggling to stay grounded, expect relief through a relationship, creative project, or new possession around the Scorpio Full Moon on Monday. It may take some time (and cooperation) to agree on your expectations, but if you stay in contact with this person (or organization) for the long haul, you should reap your rewards. On Wednesday, the Moon will enter Sagittarius, bringing focus to your houses of possessions and professions. During this transit, focus on eliminating any lingering projects or commitments. Tackle your to-do list before it piles up. Try not to leave any work for the weekend. Also, watch your spending when the Moon is in Sagittarius. You make impulsive decisions when you don’t schedule quiet time to decompress and relax. On a happy note, this weekend promises socialization (if you’re up for it). Although you’re feeling a little burnt out by all this week’s festivities, the waning Moon in Capricorn will support your water placements, bringing some love and light to your relationships.

Weekly Astrology Forecast: March 29 - April 4, 2021

After an electric Full Moon in Libra, this week’s energy brings openness and honesty to any heavy feelings still lingering from last week. 

With the Moon entering its waning phase in Scorpio late Monday, use this week to slow down and re-prioritize. 

Keep things low-key and focus on your most important tasks. Finish any projects or goals remaining from the beginning of the year. 

If feeling antsy, things start to heat midweek when the Moon dips into Sagittarius. The waning Moon in Sagittarius brings excitement, hope, and optimism. 

Try your best to keep the faith. 

Starting on April 3, Mercury will leave Pisces and begin a new cycle in Aries.

Although this is an exciting transit for communications and adopting a new mindset, anxiety and mental fatigue will reach a peak while Mercury changes signs.

Because Pisces rules the nervous system, you may experience increased sensitivities and visualizations. 

To cope with this energy, focus on balancing the nervous system. 

You can do things like:

•  getting a foot massage

•  writing in your journal

• going boating or rock climbing

• exercising and running

•  reading a good book

•  binging your favorite tv series

•  running a warm bath or turning on ocean sounds

• sitting in a rocking chair or gently swaying

• anything that quiets the mind, soothes your soul and helps alleviate stress in the physical body. 

Overall, this week’s energy brings feelings of support and alignment (five sextile aspects are occurring this week). 

Even when things are getting tough, there is still steady progress. Do your best to relax and take it one day at a time.
