APRIL ORACLESCOPES

ARIES & ARIES RISING

ten of swords / the night

oh, Aries. when did your season become so fraught, so tenderized by memories of pain? what once felt unlimited in potential may currently feel dampened by resurfacing insecurities. this new moon in Aries, and many others to follow, is an invitation to let something be Done With. to step fully into the shadow once and for all and greet the fear you have been avoiding. what calls out to you from the darkness seeks not to plunge you back into the depths of the wound, but rather to face the wound once and for all in order to see just how much you’ve grown beyond it. this journey has made you rich with resilience to move through the shadows that occur naturally in the course of our lives.

TAURUS & TAURUS RISING

page of cups / palomino

palomino is both disciplined and wild, committing to its charges with care while also remembering to follow the call within when it’s time for the body to roam free and the mind to follow. listen to new instincts this month as they encourage you to stick it out with something that needs just a bit more time and care, and to step off the grid and allow yourself to explore when the urge strikes you. trusting the ebb and flow of these instincts and moving along to their rhythm allows you to move in steady harmony now and witness new possibilities for satisfaction and pleasure.

gemini & gemini rising

four of cups / the serpent

Gemini, who threatens to undermine your foundation? there’s good reason to remain fickle with your feelings. as you weight out the distribution of your affections this month, give pause and consider who truly contributes to your attention and curiosity, and who is merely eating away at you until you no longer pose a threat or obstacle to them. not all who swarm around you are friends, Gemini, and you may choose to hold out making an emotional investment until you find out more about the true nature of your suitors or companions. remain rooted in yourself and they will have to fall away, in time.

cancer & cancer rising

king of cups / the seer

do you play the role of emotional mentor for someone this month, intuitive Cancer, or is it you who seeks out the divine emotional vessel, and wisdom, of another? a potential crisis of self and identity emerges as the month unfolds, and you are called to step into a new role of Knowing, or to step up to someone who fills this role. perhaps there is room for both possibilities, and in fact, engaging in one route opens the door to the other. you are more deserving than you know, and it takes a big heart to choose to open up to such beautiful & divine sight and to allow the universe in.

leo & leo rising

four of rings / the gift

it takes some strong astrology to slow you down, but that’s exactly what you’ve been facing down for some time now. perhaps you’ve felt less than stellar about your performance lately, entangled by a contentious production environment and a frazzled cast. we can’t always predict the ways in which we will affect the others around us, nor can we always control the kind of roles we get cast in. sometimes, our intentions have unforeseen consequences. it’s okay to recall the times your star hasn’t had the heart to shine. know that you are saving up energy for your next big moment.

virgo & virgo rising

four of swords / the architect

this month’s Mercury cazimi gives you insight into your next move before your opponents and peers even know you’re stirring and strategizing. use this month to carve out the space you need to download and interpret these divine incoming blueprints, knowing and trusting that soon enough, you will be back on the ground making the next strike. use that clever mind of yours and tap into that intuition. conserve your strength for when the time arrives to begin building from your astute vision.

libra & libra rising

six of cups / sea turtle

you’ve grown up in a big way, Libra, and and you may be recognizing a leap into wisdom while reflecting on more innocent, less painful times. trust that there is as much to be hopeful for now as there was back then, and take inventory of what you’ve grown out of so you can leave it behind. what do you need now, to move forward toward that new horizon? what can you begin to look forward to as you make your way there? shape your packing list with earnest joy on the agenda.

scorpio & scorpio rising

two of cups / the light

allow for a new day to rise on your one-to-one relationships - you feel more ready than most to experience new connection, already outgrowing so many of your previous manners of meeting others as you challenge them for perhaps the first time. embrace the desire to be fed by others even as to do so exposes your tender underbelly and its hunger pangs. the warmth of the embraces that awaits you will ease you out of any discomfort you may be tempted to avoid.

sagittarius / sagittarius rising

eight of swords / tiger

there’s a hard truth to open up to now and the only way out is the way you came in. luckily, the resilience of tiger arrives to help you tap into your deepest reserves of strength and courage to move through the parts that sting. sometimes the only way out is through, and we must depend on our inner light to keep us going forward. give yourself grace and move at your own pace - you shall cross this bridge to see the other side and to know your true grit in all its integrity.

capricorn & capricorn rising

five of rings / the spring

every sea goat needs to return to the water to restore their life force strength, even / especially if things on land are feeling out of our control, or worse, dried up. allow yourself to take a dive however you might be able this month - your soul needs a little submerging, some time to float and take in the sky. soon enough, the map will unfold in front of you and you will know the next path forward. all you need is to give yourself the opportunity to be held and released.

aquarius & aquarius rising

the star / memory

perhaps this Aries new moon brought you new opportunity to assess the binds of your mind through time, to review what it is you’ve chosen to hold onto from the past and to understand the motives of those choices. what we hold onto from the past colors us for better or for worse. get clear on what you’d like to keep and ask yourself if it supports the truest you that you are currently growing conscientiously toward every day. make sure what remains serves the person you are becoming in earnest.

pisces & pisces rising

knight of cups / the silence

remember last month when I told you that something was awaiting emergence within you but perhaps it needed more time? this month may be the month when you begin to feel the urges stirring. give yourself the space from noise and drama that you need in order to allow the process to catalyze. this vision requires your full attention to be born, and you need the right atmosphere - supportive, unobtrusive, divine - to execute it to your idealistic standards. let your efforts be untainted now by the impurities and doubts of the world.
