Weekly Astrology Forecasts: April 13 - 19, 2020

The week begins with the Waning Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn reaching its peak on April 14, bringing planning, self-discipline, and authority to the intentions planted at the Aries New Moon in March and laying the much needed foundation for the Taurus New Moon ( new lunar cycle) next week. 

On the same day, April 14, The Sun will square off with Pluto in Capricorn at exactly 24°. This aspect brings subtle tension to the underlying causes of our collective frustrations, a continuation of the Saturn/Pluto conjunction on January 12 and the Pluto and Jupiter conjunction on April 4. 

It’s important to remember that squares represent two differentiating energies that need to learn how to work together, however, it’s not “easy.”  

This is action-oriented energy, especially with the LQM also conjunct Jupiter and Pluto, we are refining problems that began weeks ago, and this requires cooperation from major officials and local individuals. So, be patient. This is progress. 

On April 15, The Sun in its last moments of fiery Aries will square Jupiter in Capricorn, bringing delays and serious discussion about how to expand and move forward into the future. 

However, with this being a square aspect, there will be vast differences in perspective about growth and expansion strategies as we continue to evolve, and this is amplified by Mercury. 

With Mercury conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer in Aries also on April 15, massive healing is happening on a root and individual level. This will bring new paradigms to our image of self  and how that will be processed on an internal, mental and subconscious level.

The divine universe is inviting you to sit first class with your guides as they take you on a pure ride of ascended trust, belief, and vision. Be very gentle and kind to yourself and others this week. 

Do not judge. Just hold space.

 Allow yourself to address the inner and external blockages that distract you from completing your tasks or expressing your true self. Be very mindful of your inner self-talk. 

It may be helpful to watch your thoughts for 24-48 hours without interference. Keep a thought journal and pay attention to your patterns. 

Are you mentally triggered by certain sounds, smells, thoughts, times of the day, responsibilities, people? Write your observations down and review them. 

Then one by one, discover effective methods that can calm and eventually dissolve old triggers. Be open minded and optimistic with each approach. 

After an intense first half of the week, the second half and the weekend are much more calming. It’s almost like the universe is giving us a break to catch our breath and settle into all the fast, and very confusing/conflicting changes that came up for discussion.

However, Mercury takes charge this weekend on April 28, when it smooths things out with two supportive Sextiles, one to Venus in Gemini and the other to Mars in Aquarius. 

 Mercury and Venus come together to encourage you to focus on self-learning and self-interests. This is a beautiful weekend to enjoy a good book or DYI project, or to finish any last minute writing or communications work. 

Mercury and Mars come together to integrate the interests and passion of the Venus Sextile into something that can uplift humanity at this time. 

It’s interesting because Gemini represents our local neighborhoods and close connections while Aquarius takes us deeper into the collective web, symbolizing a much needed collaborative, group communication effort between local and national governments, systems, and populations far and wide. 

To end this polarized week, the Sun will enter Taurus at 10:45 A.M. EST and remain there until it enters Gemini on May 20. 

Unlike Aries Season, Taurus season will not tolerate impulsive, reckless behaviors. Taurus is a fixed earth sign driven by facts and formality. 

Even though Taurus has deep reserves of compassion and intimacy, it is not moved by emotion; it has the ability to keep things strictly business. 

However, this season will be supportive to our growing economic concerns, as Taurus rules the second house of possessions and personal income, hopefully bringing resolve to the loss of jobs and global economic output. 

All in all, this week is a slow turning point in a very positive direction. One baby step at a time.

Gemini:

 This week is liberating for you, Gemini, as your planetary ruler Mercury, aligns with Venus in your sign this weekend. But that comes after the beginning of the week sends you on a temporary wild goose chase. You may be spinning in circles at the beginning of the week trying to wrap your head around something, just to discover there was a much simpler way in front of you midweek. But the lesson isn’t to piss you off, it’s to remind you to ask for HELP. Your motto this week is sportsmanship. Be a team player. Become a member and get your free monthly reading.

Cancer: 

Relationship triggers may catch you off guard this week, Cancer, even if you thought you were past it. But instead of feeling anxious or worrisome, ask yourself what is it about this relationship or person that may have you so hung up? And if it’s not a person or relationship, what within yourself? Many of you may feel pulled back into toxic situations, but there’s another portal open if you choose to take it. It’s 100% up to you. Your motto this week is self-respect. Honor your worth, Cancer. I believe in you. Become a member and get your free monthly reading.

Leo: 

You're a mixed bag of emotions this week, Leo, and that’s neither good nor bad, just a simple matter of fact. With a diverse forecast of Fire, air, and earth, the most important thing you can do this week is stay grounded. Your best bet is to stay put and don’t make any unnecessary major decisions; put them off for later, you’re not in the right state of mind. On a bright note, your creativity is buzzing, and it is a good week to find simple ways to let your inner child play. Try adding at least one hour of pure leisure into your day. See how far that takes you. Your motto this week is self-control. Keep those emotions and outbursts in check. Become a member and get your free monthly reading.

Virgo: 

When you put your mind to something, it’s very hard for someone to swoop in and change it, but that may happen unexpectedly this week, and you should embrace it. Much of your makeup comes through rational thinking, but this week, you won’t be able to think yourself in or out of a situation, you’ve got to get your hands dirty. Putting your foot down in excess spending and non-necessities imposed by the Full Moon last week may be the cause of this, but ultimately, you’re honestly just ready for better. And this week is a major turning point in supporting that if you choose. Your motto this week is self-support. Practice giving yourself the support you readily give to others. Become a member and get your free monthly reading.

Libra:

 Making one inch forward feels like a million light-years this week, but every step you take (no matter how painful) is moving you towards that solid foundation and family circle you want, Libra, keep working at it. On the other hand, this weekend is an amazing time for you to show off your elegant communication skills. You can woo a major crowd and potential client or employer if you put some grind to the metal at the beginning of the week to prepare for your presentation. Your motto this week is self-motivation. Don’t wait for anyone to cheer you on. Just do it already.  Become a member and get your free monthly reading.

Scorpio: 

Your energy is very subdued this week, Scorpio. It’s almost like you're intentionally flying under the radar, patiently observing the scenes and processing how you can help, and when is the best time for you to strike. This doesn’t mean you aren’t proactive, it just means you are at a place of inner calm that doesn’t require validation, and this for you is a WIN. If you’re not there, keep flowing forward, you’ll get there. Your motto this week is grace. Be an active portrait of grace. The world needs your poise. Become a member and get your free monthly reading.

Sagittarius:

 Any tension for you, you see as a personal challenge for growth, and this week is no different. With so much Capricorn energy activating your house of possessions, use this week to tighten up any loose money ends, or close off any lingering debt accounts. If you are financially challenged by this time, be conservative with your assets, but try your best not to feed into fear. If you do, that’s OK! Every emotion you feel is valuable. If anything, this week teaches you what is important in your life and how you want to continue expanding that in the future. Your motto this week is self-preservation. Become a member and get your free monthly reading.

Capricorn:

 This week takes you on a ride Capricorn, and it’s all happening inside. With you already being in an intensely personal period, you are rebuilding from the ground up. But this week challenges you to get clear about what that “up” looks like, and if you’re taking the necessary steps to get there or are you procrastinating on the sidelines?

 Either way, the results are up to you, and the Last Quarter Moon in your sign encourages you to make good on at least one goal planted at the Capricorn Eclipse New Moon in December. Your motto this week is self-responsibility. Become a member and get your free monthly reading.

Aquarius: 

As you continuously weed through the inner blockages brought up once again by the influx of Capricorn energy, remind yourself that every beginning is born through an end. But even though this can feel defeating or annoying (like here we go again), you are actually saying goodbye to this energy, at least for a little while longer.

So instead of resisting, embrace because you won’t be in this spot much longer. You may find that you miss the comfort you’ve grown to know and love. Your motto this week is self-care. Nurture yourself. You deserve it all. Become a member and get your free monthly reading.

Pisces: 

This week inspires you to channel your creative energy into a good cause. Although you would normally shield yourself from so much collective noise, something within you is telling you to reach out and offer a feeling of softness and compassion to those in need. This may come through music or art, but in some form, Pisces energy is being called to hold space without attachment or interference. Your job this week is to find joy within yourself, as this will effortlessly bloom without. Deep healing is coming through you, Pisces, and this is a true expression of pure unconditional love. Your motto this week is collaboration; if you are able, think about giving back from a full cup. Become a member and get your free monthly reading.
