“Creativity takes courage. ” ― Henri Matisse
The Sun, Mercury and Mars are in Taurus now inspiring us to ground, create and smell the flowers. Venus is in flirty Gemini inviting us to be whimsical and eternally youthful. Life feels oddly light and sweet for a change. Slow down and savor every precious second. Jupiter is finally moving forward and expanding the Leo area of our horoscopes. Slow and steady wins the race, even though it feels like life is flying by us at record speed due to the fiery trines going on between Uranus and Jupiter. Create and melt!
20-26 April 2015:
Aries:
Life is finally beginning to ground and mellow, Aries. You’ve planted loads of new seeds and now it’s time to slow down and catch your breath. Put your attention on money and marketing this week for best results. You’re less likely to make impulsive moves so you can trust your instincts and act without the reckless potential that can often trip you up. Spend time in your body cultivating sensuality and pleasure in honor of the stack of planets in the earthy and sweet sign of Taurus. There’s no need to rush this week. It’s all about cherishing each and every moment through all five senses.
Taurus:
You’re totally the it-girl this week, Taurus. So many planets are lining up in your sign and the Sun joins this week. It’s a lovely time of peace, pleasure and beauty, i.e. your favorite things. You’ll adore that others are finally adopting a similar tempo rather than the frenzied pace of the past month. You’re totally at your solid, grounded best so take advantage of this lovely influence while it’s rather perfect. Long, sumptuous meals, nature walks, sweet sounds, body work and silky fabrics are all essential now. The stars are totally aligning in your sweet and sensual favor now.
Gemini:
Venus continues to bring her sweetness and light to your stars this week, Gemini. Plus there is an overall Venus theme happening all around as the planets pile up in Taurus. Your house of sleep, dreams and escape is where you’re at mentally and emotionally. Deciphering fantasy and reality is not easy nor is it appealing (or even necessary )at the moment. Ride the wave of your imagination and find that which stirs you on a soul level. The Moon will be in your stars for the first half of the week. Enjoy the current illumination and creative spark.
Cancer:
Life is settling into a sweet and grounded pace this week, Cancer. Plus your social life is especially wonderful as the planets convene in your house of friendships. You’re definitely less of a homebody than usual although you don’t want to be rushed. Savoring the moment with good friends and taking time to creatively and thoughtfully work out long-range plans is where it’s at for you now. Your lovely lunar luminary will move into your stars on Thursday to bring some cozy, nurturing magic to the scene for the end of the week. Trust your gut all the way for the best leads.
Leo:
There are so many lovely planets stacking up at the top of your horoscope this week, Leo. The Sun joins the celebration for more visibility, career success and professional opportunity all around. In other words, your star is definitely rising. This is an amazing time to put your creative brilliance out into the world where it can be fully appreciated and adored. The Moon will move into your magnanimous stars on Saturday. The weekend promises to have your name written all over it with fiery, big-hearted, creative goodness. All you have to do is bask in the love and limelight.
Virgo:
This week is bringing you the higher love, Virgo. You’re thinking about what makes life worth living and living well. You want big beauty and lots of it. The planets are all lining up in your house of long—distance travel and adventure now. Wanderlust abounds but you always travel in a grounded way. You’re thinking more sensibly in general these days. The love in your career zone continues, so make the most of all the sweetness coming your way in terms of accolades and rewards for your hard work, Virgo. You always seem to forget the enjoyment part.
Libra:
This week is all about digging into the parts of your life that are still in need of a spring cleaning. Make beauty your reason for doing the dirty work. It’s so worth it. Clearing through the winter cobwebs and letting go of outworn attachments is essential. Don’t lose precious time on laboring over every decision in terms of what to keep and what to trash. Just try to get more spontaneous and instinctual with all of it so you retain your flow. You just think you can’t live without certain things but you’ll quickly see it’s actually “out of sight out of mind”.
Scorpio:
Relationships are your all and all this week, Scorpio. You are so loyal and passionate about the ones you love. It’s hard for you to think about anything else at the moment which could drive you to the obsessive brink at times. It’s hard for you to understand that others work at a slower pace than you do when it comes to love. Patience has never been one of your virtues but it’s still worth cultivating. Put your energy into more beauty and creativity to balance out the other compulsions. The more you slow down and enjoy the ride, the better everything flows.
Sagittarius:
This week puts the focus on your house of work and health. If you’ve lost the grounding of a schedule that actually involves some modicum of self-care, now is your week to get back on track. Slow it way down and simplify, simplify, simplify. You have a tendency to overdo and pile up so many projects on your plate that you can barely breathe. Use this mellow energy to pare things way down so that life becomes sweet and manageable again. Plus, your health will love you for it. This is also an excellent week to get back into a regular workout rhythm.
Capricorn:
Your house of love and pleasure is getting stacked with planetary goodness this week, Capricorn. There is a tremendous amount of energy pushing you to actually enjoy yourself and feel the love. Romance and creativity are the name of the game now, so give yourself full permission to actually immerse yourself in your favorite things. Your love life is also getting some wonderful planetary support this week, so don’t hide in the house if you’re single, and put aside the to-do list if you’re hitched. Make time for more play and love and sweetness no matter what work is threatening to drag you away.
Aquarius:
This week is all about settling back into your bones and slowing down to appreciate the beauty, Aquarius. Spending time at home never felt so good. The Sun joins the ranks of the other planets convening at the base of your horoscope. This is an invitation to go back to your roots and cherish that which feels most grounding and nourishing to you. The other stuff can wait. You are craving the simple essentials in your life now to see you through You don’t want busy or complicated. You need beautiful, light and enduring for the sake of peace of mind.
Pisces:
Communication is on the forefront of priorities this week, Pisces. You are truly feeling like you have so much to get out there and so many people to connect with and not enough time. Just slow it all way down and you’ll realize you can actually enjoy the process of making your way through the correspondence.
