TAURUS | APRIL HOROSCOPE

Hello Taurus and welcome to April! Your season is here and the month opens up with Mercury, the planet of communication, moving into your Aries 12th house of isolation and subconscious. This can indicate a time where you are more withdrawn from the world around you and you concentrate on what’s going on inside your mind and your heart. With Aries being a fire and a cardinal sign, it can sometimes be a combative energy, where there’s a possibility of things being said in the heat of the moment that might be regretted later on. Try and keep a grounded approach in times of conflict right now, Taurus! On the 11th, there is a New Moon in Aries, also falling in your 12th house of isolation. The 12th house can often deal with themes of self sabotage and imprisonment, so it could be beneficial to think of what patterns, thoughts and feelings are holding you back right now. What are things that you can pinpoint that you subconsciously do that you can adapt to and change right now? What new patterns can you put in place that will be healthy for not only you, but the life you live around you? This could be an isolating and lonely new moon, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be bad. Being alone can be good, we all have to learn how to deal with ourselves one way or another. What’s a way that is easy, healthy and positive for you to deal with what goes on in your subconscious mind? On the 14th, Venus exits its detriment sign of Aries and slides into your Taurus 1st house of self and identity, indicating a time where there is harmony coming from within you. Venus is at home and comfortable in the grounded sign of Taurus, so you might feel inclined to partake in harmonious, artistic and valuable activities, thoughts and feelings. It could be easier to maintain the peace and make compromises with others during this time but make sure you are still standing up and keeping your own values in mind! On the 19th, both the Sun and Mercury join Venus in your 1st house of Taurus, and this can signal a time where there is more emphasis on speaking your truth and what’s on your mind in a grounded and effective way, but beware of not getting too fixated or stubborn when your thoughts are being challenged by outside experiences. Give your mind room to explore different possibilities and learn from interactions you are having during this transit! On the 23rd, Mars exits Gemini and enters the water and cardinal sign of Cancer, which activates your 3rd house of community and immediate environment. This transit can indicate a pick up of momentum in this area of life, making your everyday life seem to move at a faster pace. With Mars in Cancer, it is not really at home, therefore this planet doesn’t perform as best as it could. During this transit, make sure you are not taking a defensive stance where one is not needed. Mars can bring a hot headed and tempered energy that is easy to rile up and have exploded, especially being in the sensitive sign of cancer, where this could probably manifest as emotional turmoil between your everyday encounters. Stand your ground where needed and retract when you need to. On the 26th and to wrap up this month, we will be experiencing a Full Moon in Scorpio, illuminating your 7th house of relationships. Taurus, what needs to be released in this area of life? What relationships, patterns and emotions can you let go of to make room for new things to come to you when it comes to your one on one relationships? The moon is not comfortable in Scorpio, which can mean this lunation could turn out to be somewhat emotionally draining. Keep your head high Taurus and release what you deem best for your current situation right now!
