April 19th- May 19th 2024
We all have roles to play in building strong and resilient communities. This season is filled with newness and change. There are possibilities for new beginnings, but also great challenges. I hope these horoscopes guide you to places where your magic and your energy will be well spent this month towards all of our liberation.
The horrors are real and present, but what we can build and resource ourselves with will create more resilience and ability to dream new possibilities. My hope is that these and all horoscopes can help us find where we stand and motivate us towards actions that help the collective. We are all we have.
Taurus Sun & Rising
Cool Taurus, there are things about you that you have not had the bravery to let out or try and feel, that might burst forth this season. You are being asked to transform something about yourself. You are the holder of liberatory visions for the future that you’ve first been trying in your own life. Try something new this month. Give yourself time to sit with and appreciate who you have become. We need your integrations this season because you are getting ready to hold something beautiful open for us all, and in order to do that you need to make sure your foundations are solid.
Gemini Sun & Rising
Inquisitive Gemini, there is something deep inside you that wants to transform. It’s fascinating, engulfing, and kind of exciting. There’s a lot happening under the surface: a connection to humanities strife/struggles and a fire that wants something to change. You have creativity on your side this month in terms of imagining your own role in the changes that must be made. You also however could get swept up in what things seem like rather than how they are. We need you to actively imagine your own possibilities, test out possible solutions and ways forward before you commit to anything this month. The process is worth it & you’ll get to explore and sample different possibilities: your favorite thing.
Cancer Sun & Rising
Oh my Cancer, something you learned last season about soothing yourself will be a game-changer. Your attention this season will be on trying to support sustainable and just communities. Building capacity for reciprocity is the name of the game: building community that cares for each other, helping others nurture their own talents, and helping folks connect with what they have to offer. In order to do this work you must recognize and value your own strengths, Cancer. We need you to see in yourself the deserving-ness and humanity you so easily can see in others. If you can stay in your true capacity, your gentle but boundaried touch could transform how we see community and caring.
Leo Sun & Rising
Golden Leo, things are changing rapidly. The direction that your work in the world is taking you will cause your relationships to transform. There will be a push to re-envision balance in how you relate. What could it mean for you to truly stand in who you are and where you want to go? What relationships and ways of seeing the world are at stake? Some things that have become easy and predictable must fall away to make room for opportunities that are more aligned with where you are now. You will be learning new ways of communicating, new ways of presenting yourself that could launch career or community objectives. This is a season of faith: faith in who you have become and faith in who you could be. We need you to clarify what you want to see in the world and how you are planning on getting there, because a Leo who is aligned with their values can move mountains.
Virgo Sun & Rising
Devoted Virgo, this is a season for breakthroughs. Things might not be as predictable as you would like; but everything you’ve been thinking about, the life you’ve been envisioning, the messages and truths are about to burst through. There are people around you that you can dream with now, or maybe you are dreaming of future relationships to match the big thoughts you’ve been thinking. The last few months have been about making sure that you are safe in those relationships, so if you’re sure: now is the time to ask for support. The ideology you base your life on is transforming. What do you need to anchor yourself and witness yourself through these changes? We need you to allow yourself to change, allow yourself to move forward, allow yourself to dream about bigger and more connected worlds. You can do it.
Libra Sun & Rising
Oh my Libra, who do you truly owe your devotion to? You have been considering your relationship to other deeply the past few months, but recently things have been coming to a head. You have core responsibilities that sometimes you try and hide from, but you can’t anymore. It’s time to make a choice. This season is asking you to lay bare what you are choosing to devote yourself to moving forward. What is the story you communicate to the world about who you are going to be? Who and what truly supports this vision? We need you to tell us dear Libras, talk about your dreams, talk about where you’re going and who you’re trusting. The more you can share with us this season, the more your community will strengthen to truly hold you in reciprocal ways.
Scorpio Sun & Rising
Discerning Scorpio, who and what are you partnered with? These places will be the source of discovery, possibility, and disruption this season. Your relationships will effect your sense of belonging and place. There is a certain joy of projecting a front or illusion this season: the play of power, the feeling of control. But use this for exploration now, for developing grounding and devotional practices, rather than for control. We need you to get creative about how you express yourself. This play is a form of dedication, a practical step towards understanding your own potential and your community’s. We need you to get a little impish, ruffle some feathers, be a little bit bigger than you would usually allow, but do so to get closer to the safety you need to tell the truth. Your everyday actions have a lot of sway right now. Show us the depths you can reach with a little play.
Sagittarius Sun & Rising
Divinely silly Sag, what miracles, illusions, and pretty pictures can you imagine about your idea of home? Now is the time to dig deep into your values and dramatize them with your trademark Sagittarian flair for all the world to see. You know how to capitivate us, how to change the very fabric of the world we live in, without us batting an eye. The real changes this season will be mundane, different daily routines, commitments to maintaining new bonds or social structures that weren’t as important to us before. We need you this season to make our very real problems glamorous and larger than life, so we all can understand more clearly what is at stake. This season you are the storyteller, hiding lessons in your dazzling parables. Be careful to pay attention to what you’re really teaching us all, lest you might steer your life down a path you weren’t wanting to embark on.
Capricorn Sun & Rising
My cunning Capricorn, this season continues to highlight your sense of belonging, but now there is something ready to be expressed. This is a good time to invest into creative and self-expressive pursuits, because some truth is just waiting for an appropriate outlet to burst through. Are you suffering under illusions about how your day-to day really suits you? Is there something about your community, your access to money, or relationship with resource that is rapidly transforming? Now is a time that you could easily fall into well-worn illusions about what you need and who you need it from, but the stars are asking you to take one step further: ask one more question, indulge your emotions, and really embody yourself. We need you to express things you’ve been trying to look away from so we can all get a little closer to what it could look like to live bravely.
Aquarius Sun & Rising
My humanitarian friends, you have been going through rough times. It’s time to take a look again at your vices, coping mechanisms, and stories you tell about yourself to see what it really is that you’ve been pushing away. Things have still not settled because not everything has become clear yet. This season will hopefully bring some more clarity but at the expense of a few more breakthroughs, twists, and turns. Lean on your routines now, the more you can stabilize yourself through the mundane, the better suited you are to have the capacity for all that is wanting your attention currently. Pay attention to not over-extend your resources this season, we need you as grounded and present as is possible. You are embodying the transformation of this era now, and so we need your advice and your insight on what we need need to prepare for as a community to move through these tough times.
Pisces Sun & Rising
Pisces, sweet Pisces, you may be going out to sea this month. Disassociation and fanciful stories have strong allures now, and that does not mean you have to fight it. Pay attention to those themes and stories that pull at you now. Watch for how whats happening in your personal life reflects the state of humantiy. The thing to watch out for is that you don’t get lost in your own pain or your own desire for a certain type of justice. This season could easily pull you into trauma patterns, and maybe that means it’s time to revisit them: see who you are now, how you’re different, what ways have you been able to resource yourself? We need you to try and stay with who you are in the present even as you get swept up in fantasies of possible futures, or memories of the past. You are teaching us what it means to grow strong in your relationship to self.
Aries Sun & Rising
My favorite Ram, how you view your resources is changing. It’s okay to be scared. Even for a sign as brave as you. There is something fundamental to who you are that is changing and in turn transforming how you view humantiy and what is possible. You may be a little tender because it feels like you’re on the edge of a rebirth, and when we’re changing so fundamentally old coping mechanisms will come back and try to keep us safe. The best thing you can do now is tell us all about the new you, celebrate them, throw them parties, and give them awards. Truely we need to be alerted to your bravery in the face of deep transformation, because you are the one that always shows us how to jump, how to ignite, how to initiate something so unfamilar but so necessary.
Transits:
April 21: Jupiter in Taurus conjunct Uranus in Taurus
A time of tumult and big breakthroughs, changes, and chances. A great time to get involved in mutual aid, landback projects, community gardens, or to build power in communities you already exist in. Make sure to be well resourced for this transit with sleep, food, and community if you can because there might be conflicts around resources, that either come out of nowhere or build on years of friction suddenly bursting.
April 26: Mercury Direct in Aries
What have you learned in the last three weeks about your communication and being true to yourself? When have you spoken or acted in ways that you’re not proud of, now is your second chance to try again. Try to curb any impatience because even if it doesn’t seem like it right away, things always move faster when we can work compassionately with each other.
April 29: Mars in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces
Propaganda, illusions, and dreams will be made or broken now. Pay attention to your own truth and how it differs from what people are trying to tell you. This is a great time to understand other perspectives better, so be honest but also listen. Although ideological fervor might run rampant, the rules of who is included are more inclined to bend now.
May 1: Venus in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius
Vices, vices, vices, OR luxuriating in your resistance and transformative community. Can you work with others to make the world better?
