Horoscopes for April 2023

Navigating the Stars is a monthly horoscope column by Tamu Miles

ARIES // TAURUS // GEMINI // CANCER // LEO // VIRGO // LIBRA // SCOPRIO // SAGITTARIUS // CAPRICORN // AQUARIUS // PISCES

All Signs

Collectively we’re tired of the negativity, tired of fighting, tired of constantly living in fight or flight and the state of the world slipping into darkness. The Aries season brings with it a need for play, a need to find the positive, focus on the light, and bring joy back into our lives. But this is more than just a surface feeling. We’re not escaping the realities of the world, we’re creating a collective shift. We’re bringing the joy we long for and know is possible up from our deep sub conscious, in from the essence of Source or the Universe, and into our conscious perception. We want to shift the focus from the negative, end-of-the-world scenarios we’ve been focused on for so long to the positive and uplifting possibilities available to us. In other words, The Terminator served its purpose in making us very aware of the path we have been propelling ourselves along over the last 100 years, but now it’s time for the ideologies of Star Trek to truly permeate the masses. So, this month, find as many ways as possible to find joy, play, and laughter. Do things that lift your spirits and those of everyone else around you.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

It finally makes sense, doesn’t it? It took a while, but now your mind can connect the dots. You’ve been doing a lot of internal work, a lot of healing and learning how to love yourself again, and this work has brought new relationships into your life. For the past few months you’ve been scratching your head, trying to figure out why people are suddenly attracted to you. Why do they feel they can share their stories with you, their tales of woe or triumph? But now you have enough hindsight to see that the past you had pushed people away, had felt unworthy of friendship or close connection, and the new you is ready for a different chapter. The walls you built around yourself so that you wouldn’t have to experience any more pain have been broken down and you are ready to receive. You are ready to go out into the world and share your heart once again.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

You are actively seeking your global family. Finding those you can co-create with, that share your values and concerns about the world, is extremely important to you at this time. There may be a part of you that feels like this is an impossible task (you may feel weighed down or jaded by the amount of hate in the world right now), but it’s not. Those you are meant to connect with are out there and they are looking for you as well. Wanna know the best way to recognize a beloved? Their eyes. If you look into a stranger’s eyes and get a sudden sense of home, know that they are family/kindred heart. Initiate conversation, ask questions, be as present in those moments as you possibly can. These connections are important because there are things you are meant to do together. Whether you have a business that has gaps that need to be filled, you are looking to grow your inner circle of friends, or you are working on a project that requires more collaboration, there are people who are meant to fill those roles and bring a much needed infusion of hope into your life.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

“Slow down, you move to fast, you got to make the morning last.” ~ Simon and Garfunkel. It doesn’t all have to be done right now, you know. You have time. Right now you’re missing out on many beautiful moments because you’re hell bent on being productive. And though we’re smack dab in the middle of Aries season and feeling the push of spring, it’s important to remember that even nature can’t be rushed. Remember to love yourself, to have compassion for where you are and to honour your own becoming. This way, the goal you are working toward (whether internal or external) is “achieved” in wholeness. If you allow yourself to slow down, you’ll be able to pay more attention to the details and create from a place of love, which, in turn, will ensure that your creation is as beautiful and glorious as you hope it can be. And remember that nothing is worth causing yourself undue stress. Life is about living, not about proving yourself and being productive. So get out there and do more living, and less doing.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

Well, dear Cancer, you are really feeling the thrust of spring. You have more energy than you’ve had in a long time, so much so that you kind of feel like you stuck your finger in a light socket and have become as charged as the Energizer Bunny. Though there is still a need to be mindful of how much you take on and the needs of your body and heart, I encourage you to ride this wave. You have the ability to achieve much over the next four weeks, things that perhaps you haven’t been able to get to for quite some time. Please remember that this push to achieve is about more than just work. Focus on your art, whatever it may be, do the things that fill your heart that you have been longing to get to but haven’t had the energy. By doing so, you ensure that when this current charge has “drained” itself, or begins to wind down, that you have filled your cup and are able to keep going at a steady and long lasting pace. Bottom line? Get out there and let your brilliance shine.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

When you are faced with any decision this month, especially if it’s a difficult one, trust that all answers lie in thinking outside the box. Do the unexpected. Be spontaneous. Follow your gut. The places where you are dealing with confusion (should I stay or should I go, now?) are those places where Source is challenging you to step outside of your comfort zone and embrace more of who you are. When you hesitate and take the safe path, you are falling back into old patterns which will mean that the universe will just have to come up with another way to deliver the lesson. So be bold, be courageous, and follow your heart’s desire. What is absolutely true for you in each moment? What is the first answer that comes to your mind, the one that bubbles up before you sensor it and find the more acceptable response? That’s the one to go with. And it will bring you the most reward. I promise.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

You are the author of your own story. I know you know this intellectually, but do you know it with your gut? You have many possibilities opening up before you, and they are all being created from your centre. So continue this work. Be aware of your will (solar plexus), your intent, and how you are creating the life you want. Don’t be afraid to make things up on the spot, to get creative, to follow tracks that others are blind to. You may push a few buttons, you may get a few weird looks, but it won’t take long for those people who are triggered to see that you were right all along. And if you are facing any uncertainty right now (not sure where your current path is taking you?), trust. All will be well, just keep your eye on your long-term goals and be as flexible and imaginative as you can. Let your subconscious sort out the details.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

You’ve kind of been stuck in a rut lately, haven’t you? It hasn’t been easy to be grateful or to see the good things in life, has it? Well, that’s about to change. With the warmer weather comes new opportunities for abundance. The trick here is not only to trust that what you have been asking for is coming your way, but to consciously sink into gratitude and seek out the beauty you crave and resources you require. Focus on what you know, what you are good at. Hone your skills and share them with the world. It’s time to come out of hibernation and spread your wings, so to speak. All the ideas you’ve had mulling around in your mind over the winter need to see the light of day.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

The gateway is open. The gateway between your conscious mind and the endless possibilities of the universe. You can move in any direction you choose right now, so dream big, allow yourself to bite off more than you can chew, but make sure that you are doing what is in alignment with your deepest self and your core values. If you find yourself slipping into old patterns and behaviours, especially if you find yourself judging others or taking a superior attitude, take a moment to stop and reflect. What are you afraid of? Is there some part of you that feels threatened? How can you move through this situation with the utmost humility and integrity? Remember, your current path isn’t about being right, it’s about coming into your beauty and your wholeness, so keep your attention on that goal as much as possible.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

In seeming contrast to spring and the push toward growth and renewal that is happening all around us, you are going to find yourself recovering from exhaustion. You’ve had a lot going on both internally and externally over the last couple of months, and now that exertion has finally caught up with you. It’s not going to be easy, but you need to isolate yourself from the world and rest. There is part of you that is going to feel like this isn’t fair, that the universe is against you. But if you listen, if you take time to go inward, to treat your body well and to sit with your own thoughts, a couple of things will take place. 1) your subconscious will have time to work through and solve some of the questions you’ve had about which direction to go in, and 2) you’ll be feeling energized and ready to take on all of your goals throughout the summer months.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

This month you are going to realize that you don’t have to do it like everyone else. That sometimes the best thing you can do to accomplish your goals is to break the rules. You’ve played the game, you’ve done what is required, and you’ve been a steadfast pillar of strength to many. But now it’s time for you. And that doesn’t necessarily mean that you are going to give up everything you have worked for, or everyone you love, it just means that you can carve your own path and that you don’t have to do it like your parents did or like the rest of the world has done. When this realization settles into your bones, it is going to feel like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders and suddenly the path ahead of you will become clear and you will once again feel inspired.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

There are many possibilities presenting themselves to you, my friend. They all have their pros and their cons and you have found yourself in the position of being able to pick and choose what suites you best as you move forward with your goals. This is an amazing feeling, but it can be a tricky one to navigate. Be careful where you are making your decisions from. Are you making decisions based on your ego? Or are you choosing those things that are the most in alignment with your highest good and that of those you love and care about? Remember, you are not an isolated island. There are people who count on you and your decisions affect their reality. So let yourself have fun with the multitude of choices that present themselves over the next few weeks, but before you decide on anything, take a step back and assess all of your options with a level head and an open heart.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

You cannot predict what is going to happen, so you might as well stop trying. You’re only getting yourself twisted in knots and causing yourself anxiety. So stop throwing tarot cards, stop asking others for their opinion, stop asking what if. And instead, let go. Let go and trust that the universe has you. That the path you are on is the right one, and that you have done nothing wrong. There is nothing inherently wrong with you. Magic wants to come into your everyday, but it can’t find it’s way to you if you’ve already decided on the outcome of every given situation. I suggest that before you get out of bed each morning, you repeat some positive affirmations for your day (such as, “this is going to be a great day”) and that you do your best to let go of any expectations you have for how things will go. Practice letting go to what is.
