GEMINI | APRIL HOROSCOPE

Hi Gemini! The month of April opens up with Mercury, the planet of the mind and intellect, ingressing your Aries 11th house of networking, hopes and ideas. This can indicate a good time to look over your goals in life and assess the direction these are going in. Are they panning out the way you planned it to, or are there pieces and bits that you can modify to develop them further? The energy of Aries supports exploring new ways of thinking but could lack grounding in following through, so just keep that in mind and find an anchor you can come back to if things get overwhelming. On the 11th, there is a New Moon in Aries, also falling in your 11th house, signaling a good time to put those new ideas into fruition. What goals are you intending on manifesting for this next lunar cycle? What new passion have you discovered so far during Mercury’s transit through this house? On the 14th, Venus enters your Taurus 12th house of isolation and subconscious. As with most Venus transits, they are usually not as challenging as other planets’ transit through the 12th house. Another good thing is that Venus is at home in Taurus, so there’s a high chance that the effects of this transit will be in a constructive manner more than destructive. During this time, focus on your inner self, your subconscious and any patterns in place that might be detrimental to you and the love you harvest for yourself. 12th house transits can usually lead to isolating periods of time where we can explore and learn more about ourselves in solitude. On the 19th, the Sun and Mercury join Venus in your 12th house of Taurus, signaling a time where you could be mentally withdrawn from the world and focus on what's going on inside yourself. Taurus is a earth, fixed sign, and even though that can provide some grounding to your thought process, it can also manifest as a stubborn energy and hard to persuade, so keep an open mind when it comes to exploring your subconscious and the way you communicate not only with yourself but with the world around you. On the 23rd, Mars enters your Cancer 2nd house of material possessions and security. As a person with natal Mars in the 2nd house, my best advice to you is to not identify yourself with how much you possess. Your value is not based on your bank account or how much stuff you own. Instead, try to channel that and find things that spark some kind of emotional connection to you, a souvenir, memorabilia, etc. Beware of your spending during these next few weeks as well, as Mars tends to have a very impulsive and burning energy that could lead to needless spending. On the 26th and to wrap up the month of April, there will be a Full Moon in Scorpio, illuminating your 6th house of work and health. This lunation can be a somewhat challenging one for everyone as a collective, given the fact that not only is the Moon is in fall in the sign of Scorpio, but also, its ruling planet Mars, is in detriment in the sign of Cancer. Take whatever measures needed to make sure you are far from any hostile or detrimental environments at this time, especially when it comes to your daily routines and work life. This Full Moon can have the potential of constructive emotional release, receiving a wide trine from Mars in the sensitive and intuitive sign of Cancer.
