APRIL ORACLESCOPES
this month’s oraclescopes were pulled using my debut tarot deck, PORTALS, and Jennifer Sodini’s Amenti Oracle.
I speak positively of others / two of wands
north node + pisces + 2
it is commonly expressed that our words shape our reality, and that which we focus on is what grows. for you Aries, this month shows you that the words you speak about others directly influences the path as you explore its potentials and possibilities. reflective of your ruler’s current journey through Cancer, this month reveals that where you desire to go can be made accessible to you as you explore and positively express the impact of the experiences you’ve moved through to get to this point. it may be that a door you desire to enter is guarded by someone whose currency is kindness or praise. how you phrase your words toward others influences in turn how those others can give you the green light to move forward. consider the people you currently possess kind fords for as well as the communities you wish to gain entry into.
actions taken this month naturally guide you toward your soul’s purpose, and it may be connecting one-on-one with Piscean energies that illuminate the inklings of desire and possibility calling you forward.
I embrace the all / king of pentacles rev.
pluto + scorpio + 2
Taurus, you have been on a nodal journey of extracting the self from the other, of self-recognition in a sea of shared and enmeshed energies. as you have learned where you begin and others end, you have likely undergone a deep recognition of the poetry within you, the multitudes of the intangible that you contain, and this process has gifted you with a broader awareness of that which you are designed to experience here on this plane in this lifetime. this month, it becomes clearer to you where you are ready to stop showing up in certain ways, to step out of a role or obligation that previously carried merit or provided you access to resources. as you reframe what you feel called to respond to in this lifetime, you shapeshift your connection to your resources and their authentic capacities.
with Pluto testing you from Aquarius, it’s a rich time for you to dive deep into and get clear on all of the relationship dynamics that have shifted for you since January of 2021 in order to know more about the all you are embracing now. perhaps working one-on-one with a professional can help gain clarity with healthy boundaries.
I honor animals with reverence / the star
pluto + pisces + 3
with Mars finally clear from your identity space, this month invites you to reconnect after a period of separation. as you emerge from this time of reconstruction, you demonstrate to others the gem that has been carved out of the rubble, the inner light that is ready to shine through. the more that you connect now with the concept that all creatures deserve care and respect, the more deeply you can feel this philosophy ringing true within you and your self-perception. tune in now to the creatures who love you unconditionally, be they human or animal, tangible or spiritual. surrounding yourself with creatures who flow in interdependence with you can support the depth of security you have access to now.
with Pluto entering into trine with your sign, this transformation you move through now proves powerful and reveals new capacities of self-expression. look to your Piscean legacy to understand more about the collaborative nature that is asked of you now.
I offer words of good intent / ace of pentacles
venus + gemini + 9
Cancer, being guided by the moon means that you are often compelled to carry attitudes and make choices in the present that are heavily informed by your past. you’re invited this month to find your way out of thinking loops that hold you back, and your challenge is to do so by literally speaking into existence the opportunities you seek now. imprints and ghosts from your past might inform you that to ask is to recall the suffering you’ve experienced from being let down by others. as our first Aries eclipse moves in before the nodes in the summer, you’re being initiated into a cycle of bravery now that serves to push you out of your protective shell in order to see all that open up for you now if you take the risk.
as Venus prepares to move into the space that Mars just occupied, the sign of Gemini that is just out of reach of your visibility, your broader perspective on the world undergoes a gentle redefinition. open up to the idea that wishes can be granted this month.
I honor virtue / temperance
pluto + leo + 3
interesting that Temperance is named as one of the Four Virtues outlined by Jennifer Sodini, the other three being prudence, courage, and justice, together comprising a spiritual foundation that can support the “architecture” of the soul. no surprise then that these two appear together just as Pluto has moved in to oppose and challenge your very sense of Leo self. perhaps you are being called into a deeper alignment with your relationship to your personal alchemy, compelled to assess which of the four elements connected within Temperance might be out of balance for you and invited to explore what shifting into realignment might look like for you.
the dice make it clear that your sense of self now is influenced by the presence of Pluto and that there are three possible influences worth examining at this time. it may be that engaging with community through this process provides deeper access to insight.
I regard all altars with respect / four of cups
mars + taurus + 8
you may know more than most others the true sacred nature of the altar, a space reserved to hold ceremony and honor those spirits and entities we cherish. this month may see you invited into spaces that are home to an altar of some kind, to engage in its protection or otherwise congregate to work with others toward a shared cause or belief. as you weigh out these options, it’s important that you offer respect and reverence to the invitations you receive, even if you are not sure in your heart and gut that they are aligned for you. know that your initial hesitation may be a sign to tend to your own altars, to realign your heart with your sense of purpose, and make your choices from there.
with Mars clear from your place of legacy and contribution, you’re swimming through seas of community, perhaps severing ties where you need to in order to move into closer alignment with what truly flows through you with ease. tend to your private processes in order to engage in deeper trust in whatever decisions you do come to this month.
I am forgiving / three of swords
Neptune + pisces + 12
“love the reflection, and the reflection will love you back,” invites Jennifer Sodini. this month shows you where your desire to be forgiven begins with your ability to be forgiving, and while it may be tempting to feel othered by the pains you experience this month, it’s critical to recognize where you possess the power to initiate the undoing of harm, regardless of who threw the first stone. as you navigate gently embracing this journey of healing aches and wounds, you notice the distinct connection between the way emotions are store in your physical body and their tether to the ether and your perspective of what it all adds up to.
Neptune, while bound to and confounding your already nebulous physical world, illuminates the threads of connection to your mental health space, showing you that efforts made in one reverberate within the other. pain you can undo in the mental health realm has the power to alleviate symptoms currently floating through you.
I communicate with compassion / five of swords rev.
North node + pisces + 3
I imagine it was a difficult time to be ruled by a planet in a long retrograde at the same that the south node demanded that you purge parts of yourself in order to connect more sensually with others. with Mars moving forward, you may now find yourself needing to defend certain perspectives you hold or other components of your philosophies as they have been redefined. you know more than most that there are many ways to convey our defense, and it can be very easy to recall imprints that encourage you to express some of the lower instincts that serve to protect you. hopefully, you’ve learned that there is a time and a place for those instincts, and they can often interfere with our desire to bond. this month asks you to tap into where you possess the capacity to reframe your sentiments in a way that can allow all to walk away with their dignity whether there is room to bond or not.
the north node calls you to remember the soul lessons of this time bringing you back to the connections you seek with others, this month, sees activation across your three water houses and asks you to lean into the softness you carry within your spaces of self-expression.
I do the best I can / three of pentacles
mercury + virgo + 7
with Mars finally done staring you down and severing you from those you connect one-on-one with, you’re recognizing new space and capacity for filling the void left by separation. you may feel skeptical of your value as you consider what you are currently able to bring to the table now that it’s been reset. it may be fruitful to reframe what you consider to be your area of expertise or what you feel you are able to contribute, but you are invited this month to dig into your areas of unseen, tapping into deep magic and making your previously subconscious powers conscious. by using your lens to see what currently remains unseen, you open up powers of self-expression that remind you that you are perfectly suited to play a part of a team working toward a shared goal - that your experiences and the depths they’ve unlocked are exactly what is needed now.
Mercury ruling Virgo shows us the concern you carry for your overall legacy and contribution of the time you spend here on earth, and while this trajectory may currently be just out of sight, trust that you possess a luck now that, if you take a chance, can multiply exponentially.
I am accepting / strength
uranus + cancer + 12
as a Saturnian spirit, you carry the weight of endings close to your heart, understanding the fragility and sanctity of life itself and working to preserve it as much as possible. with Saturn now floating through the abyss, this month may call upon you to willingly move into the space of accepting the cycles of life and death, remembering that our emotional experiences imprint our spirit long after the body is gone. in leaning into this exploration, you deepen your connection to your most primal instincts, this critical component of determining that which you dedicate yourself to in this lifetime, remembering that time is of the essence and above all else, you strive to serve those you most closely hold dear.
Uranus reminds you of the impermanent nature of all things, compelling you to express yourself in new ways amongst those you share intimacy with, and 12 reminds us of the twelve houses that make up a whole chart, the number of people who made up Jesus’ cohort, and the completeness of a full cycle. what you accept can allow for deep release.
I keep the waters pure / nine of pentacles rev.
south node + capricorn + 11
it’s possible, Aquarius, that you may find this month revealing to you the blockages in reveling in your hard work, or that may be preventing you from accumulating the resources to feel comfortable. as the water bearer, you are among us to keep our emotional waters pure, providing the container to give shape to the intangible. how capable are you of upholding this role when your own waters have been muddied? while the broader world at large is responsible for the economy as we experience it now, there is an invitation this month to get clear on what substances have invaded your sense of spiritual and emotional clarity. focusing on the unconscious material that asks to surface this month provides you insight into the shifts you are called to make in your physical realm now, opening up space for more inner abundance.
the south node draws attention to your sense of legacy, calling you to make a final review and release of energies you once believed yourself responsible for bearing. while Capricorn shows us your deep unconscious and the systems that inform it, looking to your 11th house of community & causes may reveal clues as to what desires to be let go now.
I am humble / page of wands
moon + virgo + 9
while Jupiter traveled through your sign, you felt larger than life, abundance oozing from your seams. now that Jupiter has departed and Saturn has moved in, that bubble of radiant joy may feel that its been burst, and spaces where potential seemed to flow suddenly meet road blocks and barricades. this month, search beyond the initial wounding of this shift and find where Saturn is asking you to find a way to contain the confidence that Jupiter filled you with, which ultimately means carving away at some of the visions in order to hone what is truly possible on this realm in this time. Saturn’s presence may feel more easeful over time, but for now, remember that this process serves to highlight your most potent ideas now, and releasing that which cannot manifest now does not deplete you of your great magic.
the moon reminds us of the ever-changing tides that shift and shape the possibilities that come through connection, and if the tide currently feels out for you, it will soon return. Virgo highlights the opportunity to check in with those near and dear, and the nine suggests that wishes can come true when we choose to lean into our tangible tools now.
