April Astrological Insights: Align with Your Core Values

All Signs

Remove disappointment by remaining true to your authentic Self. The more you deepen into your integrity, the more you will create long-term relationships and ventures that are aligned with your core values and innermost joy. It’s important not to rely on others to dictate your value. Doing so only sets you up for being let down. Others are not responsible for your happiness. Each of us is on a journey home to ourselves, and this looks different for everyone. Remind yourself to go at your own pace, to fully embrace your decisions and their consequences, and to live your life in alignment with your core ethics and ideals. Remember this always means a measure of adaptability, as there is no “one path”. Source births itself in a myriad of ways.

Aries: Mar. 21 to Apr. 19

Let yourself fall into the Great Arms of Everything this month, my friend. Trust your instincts and allow yourself the adventure that you are craving. It’s time to shake things up, discover something new, and come alive in ways that may have lain dormant for quite some time. By this time next year you won’t even be able to recognize yourself. There is so much inner change taking place, a change that feels like you are coming home to yourself as you discover more and more about who you are and what you want in this world. Don’t forget to take moments where you bask in the gentle winds of your self-discovery process. Celebrate your wins, allow time for rest, and stay true to what feels right. It’s okay to protect yourself, and it’s okay to have boundaries.

Taurus: Apr. 20 to May 20

April sees you bringing your focus back to the micro details of your life. You might feel as though you don’t really know who you are or what direction you want to go in. This “lost” state of mind stems from a reshuffling of your energy, like a kaleidoscope being turned until all the right pieces become aligned. Allow yourself moments to reflect on how you move about in the world, what patterns you carry with you, what brins you joy and what drains your energy, and what you are willing to do in order to heal so you can live your best life. The key here is to remember that you are part of the entire web of life. That whatever you weave becomes part of the tapestry of humanity and our experience on this earth. The world needs your part of the tapestry.

Gemini: May 21 to Jun. 20

Don’t worry if you don’t feel like being too social this month, dear Gemini. It’s okay to cocoon and protect your energy. Just make sure you set clear boundaries so that people know what you need and don’t have to guess. You are the observer this month. If I were to describe your energy, I would say that it looks like a delicate spider web catching the vibrations and signals of the forest around it. You are sensing into your next move. Perhaps you are caught up in your art and maybe don’t sleep for a couple of days, or you are sleeping and learning from your dreams. Or it could be that you are wandering the forest and listening to the trees. Let yourself learn from the world around you while not getting caught up in it.

Cancer: Jun. 21 to Jul. 22

You might need to slow things down, my friend. If life is feeling hard, or rough around the edges, you might want to find ways to remove things from your lists. Your body can’t heal and recover if it’s not getting enough rest, and your brain can function if you’re always stressed out. Everything happens in its own time and you are allowed to be human even when you are chasing your dreams. You don’t have to be afraid of doing it wrong, or in the wrong order, or that you’ll miss the boat somehow. Let there be time for ease. Carve out hours where you don’t have to think about the next task. Just allow yourself to BE once in a while.

Leo: Jul. 23 to Aug. 22

Giddy up, my friend! It’s go time! You’re out puttering in the garden, planning vacations, volunteering for local causes, or diving headlong into your career. There has been a momentum building since the beginning of the year and now you are starting to reap the benefits of your hard work and dedication. This enthusiastic and fiery energy is attractive to others, so utilize your leadership qualities to steer everyone in the right direction. Just remember to slow down once in a while and not be too headstrong. Big dreams always happen better when they’re an act of collaboration. People want to follow you, but they’ll lose trust if they don’t feel heard.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Take a deep breath. And another. It’s okay that you’re angry, and you have every right to be. I hope that you can see that whatever is going on is actually a learning opportunity. This is a chance for you to step back and look at the bigger picture. Trust that you know the path you are on, and you are aware of the changes that need to take place so your goals can manifest. Surrender to your own transformational process and trust your instincts and your gut. This thing, whatever it is, that is bringing up feelings of anger is really such a small part of the bigger picture. One that reflects your own internal turmoil. How have you had enough of your own bs? Are you willing to let go to change so you can live a stronger and happier version of yourself?

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Flip the switch. Turn the page. Look at it from a different angle. Everything is going to get turned on its head this month, dear Libra. What once was up will now be sideways. It’s okay, though. You’re learning a lot about yourself as well as others. You’re learning to see below the surface; to read between the lines. New understandings of yourself and how you want to live your life are starting to bubble to the surface of your consciousness. You’re no longer able to hide behind the stories you’ve been telling yourself because they no longer match your external reality. Therefore, you’re kind of forced to see the truth of things. Try not to project this so much that you forget to turn the lens on yourself. If you want to truly love yourself, you’ll make this a personal journey over a blame and judge others one.

Scorpio: Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

The best way to get out of your rut is to dance. I’m serious. Get raucous and wild. Let your hair down and allow your body to move and sweat it all out. And while you do so, set your intentions, say your prayers, send smoke signals to the universe. I know it doesn’t feel like it, but you’ve actually won. You’ve won the battle. You can now start to weave a world that brings you what you need, what you have been calling for, and what makes your heart sing. Let community, loved ones, and the universe nourish you. Let all that bottled up energy you’ve been hiding in your hips release itself in ways that invite laughter, sensuality, creativity, and plain old fun. It’ll tire itself out eventually and allow you to find a soft and gentle equilibrium.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

You’ve been going through a lot of change lately and now you’re at the stage where you are required to let everything old fall away. There are aspects of this that are going to be taxing and hard, but at the heart of it all this is a place of magic. This is where you get to look into the void and experience a change in consciousness. Energetically you are dancing in the spaces between the physical and the non-physical. In other words, you are pondering the great mysteries and how they actually apply to the human, physical experience. Allow yourself to let go and to purge. Identify and get rid of all the things – material, mental, or emotional – that no longer serve you, or that no longer feel right. Realign with your place in the universe.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Take a moment and bring your attention to your solar plexus, or your will. Breathe in and out a few times. This is where you decide the direction of your life. When you allow your inner sun to shine, you light a beacon sending signal to the world. You can attract things to you while shedding light on the path to your goals. You just have to decide how you want to live, and what matters most to you. Treat your life like a tapestry. Weave it with care and start with the core or the foundation. Be meticulous and thoughtful. April is doing her best to show you that you are the creator of your own reality, and if you want things to get better you have to put in the work. So, every time you feel lost take a moment to bring your attention to your belly. Feel into your core, your intent, that place where decision and action stem from. There is no wrong path. All roads lead home. You job is simply to decide what general direction you want to go in.

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Want to know how to get unstuck? It’s simple. Widen your perspective. Wherever you feel stagnant, stuck, or bored take a moment to zoom out. Use your inquisitive mind to learn something new, to start conversations, to explore new places. You’re an adventurer by nature, you regularly need a change of scenery and a fresh perspective, so allow yourself to create just that. It’ll also help you to put your own life back into focus. Perhaps it’ll help you have gratitude for all that you have, or the people that love you. And maybe it’ll also help you achieve a sense of purpose, a direction in which to focus your energy that feels productive and meaningful.

Pisces: Feb. 19 to Mar. 20

Build, build, build. Keep working on that foundation until it is completely sound, and then move on to the first floor. Growth happens in spurts sometimes, depending on the day’s sunlight and how much rain there has been. See yourself and your experience from this perspective, dear Pisces. Some days are going to be super productive, and others are going to feel like you got nothing done, but still change is taking place. Reach for the sunlight while paying attention to the details. Try not to get derailed by the external momentum of things. Find ways to keep grounded and in reality so you don’t stretch yourself too thin and begin to fade before you’ve had a chance to bear fruit. Remember, this is your path. Make the journey as good and enjoyable as you possibly can.
