If Your Birthday is April 26
(The Day of the Cultivator) | Taurus Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
A New Moon on your birthday is inviting you to explore bolder horizons. As long as you take care of yourself, you have your options open; which is to say, you have more flexibility than you may think — though this will require your imagination. You can become the person you want to be, if you have a vision for who that is.
Written in the Planets
Chiron is nearing the end of its eight-year sojourn in Pisces. Today’s square to the Galactic Core could be seen as something of a milestone, marking a step closer to the Aries boundary. What have you learned since 2010, both in terms of your personal healing journey and the wider environment? This year is an opportunity both to wrap up certain matters for good, and take others to the next level. Understanding what has changed for you recently may provide a good clue for plotting your course in the months ahead.
Join Eric live on Saturday, May 6 for his exciting new class, Eroticism: The Cosmic Mirror. Eric will bring everything he’s learned from studying tantra as well as the planets. There’s never been another astrology class like this.
