Planet Waves Weekly Horoscope for April 5, 2018

Aries (March 20-April 19) — You seem to be taking matters pretty much in your stride, with something of a determination to move forward in career-related ambitions regardless of pesky little things like the present Mercury retrograde. To a large extent you may feel that you’re somewhat of an open book. There’s a deeper revolution taking place, though it’s not yet quite visible; this may be unsettling, but take each day as it comes and stand firm in who you are. It’s certainly necessary to communicate consciously and carefully for a while; this need not, however, compromise your essential honesty. People will know you by your actions. — by Amy Elliott.

Your Aries Reading is Ready for Instant Access. Right Now!

Dear Friend and Reader:

I’ve finished the Aries reading, and thought I would share a few short notes. Sometimes I go into the reading with a loose plan, and then something new comes through. That happened tonight.

I began with a discussion of the “inner life,” which has pretty much been eviscerated from our contemporary existence — turned inside out by being inundated with electronic media. This shows up for Aries as Uranus having been in your birth sign for seven years, along with the many events involving Uranus (seven passes of the Uranus-Pluto square, three of Uranus conjunct Eris, and others).

Yet while this was going on, Chiron was present in your 12th house, providing a point of inner orientation, which was indispensable. Chiron in Pisces offers direct spiritual access; and for you, a tap into the inner light.

Now Chiron, fresh with all that energy, is going to infuse itself into Aries, and bring this soul growth up and out into the conscious level of your personality awareness. Soon after this happens, Uranus leaves your sign and enters Taurus, which will ground you in your body, cool off that Uranian energy, and give you a break from the relentless pressure you’ve been under.

The other angle of your chart that’s unusually active is your career house, Capricorn — where, last night, Mars and Saturn were still in a conjunction. Based on this and other factors, I describe the unusual openings that will be available to you, allowing you to both challenge existing norms and authority, and to work with these things to further your own ends.

The reading is about 80 minutes in two parts. I have not added music yet; I will do that soon. I felt it was more important to get it into your hands.

It’s been excellent to do this work for you.

With love,

PS — Here is access to last year’s audio reading, and last year’s written reading from The Book of Your Life.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — The deep work you’ve been doing for a while now is likely to pay dividends this week. The astrology describes you having a flash of insight, as if several disparate things suddenly fall into a neat pattern; and a clear-sighted vision of future potential, of the sort that’s usually shrouded in a murky fog somewhere in the distance. You may find you’re abruptly aware of your power and your abilities in a way that’s never been quite so evident before. Write down your sensations; you might need to refer back to them. Make a commitment to yourself to take them seriously. You deserve the freedom to pursue your dreams. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — You may find yourself, if somewhat reluctantly, revisiting old ground in terms of the influence someone has had on your life. This would be part of forging a fresh commitment to your independence and to the things that help you feel free to be yourself. If a close relationship has changed, you might need to restructure your routines and habits. Take advantage of the moment and seek to accommodate the kind of activities that really make you happy, whether that be something creative, fun with others, or whatever. Feel free to experiment for as long as you need to, and to enjoy yourself in the process. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — This week may develop a new feeling of devotion or purpose in terms of your relationships. To some extent this may be working on the intuitive level for a while: you’re likely to sense it before you understand it entirely. You might benefit from paying close attention to any particularly strong emotions you experience over the next week or two; consider it research, which may lead to your growth as a person. You could feel more strongly identified than usual with your partnerships and those you love, though remember that you are a whole entity, whose needs are separate from others’ — though they often overlap. — by Amy Elliott.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — We often live for the great moments when our grandest plans come to fruition; that sense of fulfillment, and of faith in our power to bring it about, are among the beautiful experiences that bless life with a touch of romance. Yet between the dream and its shaping into concrete reality, there’s a large quantity of work. Hollywood often glosses over this with a montage, which has the unfortunate effect of making such things seem easier than they truly are. However, the challenges of perseverance bring their own reward. Stick at what you’re doing, even if you don’t get instant results. — by Amy Elliott.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — It might be a good idea to keep a check on any desire you have to be useful to just about everyone on the planet, or an expert in everything. You’re usually in some danger of spreading yourself too thinly, and just now this risk is enhanced. Slow your pace; take one thing at a time, and be sure to delegate wherever appropriate. Your artistry is blossoming to a new level, and you need time and space to think, plan, dream and create. Convincing yourself that you deserve said time and space may be a challenge, but make the effort anyway. It’s possible to be of service in terms of quality as much as quantity. — by Amy Elliott.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Over the past few weeks, you’ve likely been observing with unusual clarity in what measure your past experiences inform and affect your relationships today. You may also have noticed how this can work in reverse: how connections with those you love as an adult can gently alter your perspective on former times. Try working a little more intensively with that idea this week. It helps to remember that your feelings and needs are just as important as everyone else’s — something many tend to forget — and that a home in the truest sense is something you create. — by Amy Elliott.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — Current astrology seems to be urging patience and to some extent forbearance in your communications. This doesn’t mean clam up, put up or shut up. It’s more a case of understanding the effects of nuance in what you want to say. Putting yourself in the shoes of others will undoubtedly help immensely. You’re a natural at empathy, even if you’re not always confident of your skills; though it’s vital that you be kind to yourself, if you want to shine your brightest at showing compassion to those around you. That includes being alert to the nature of your feelings, especially what you might be reluctant to admit. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Astrology has it that there’s a relationship between self-esteem, deeply held values, and resources, centering in the concept of integrity. Examples include bestowing your time and money on a cause you really believe in, which in turn can boost your self-confidence. This week would likely be a good one to apply some discernment around what you do with the majority of your energy and will. That should help you redirect your efforts from anything that’s wasting or draining your strength, however appealing it might have seemed once, to work you can endorse right now with all your soul. — by Amy Elliott.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — To try and be the best person you can be is a useful plan at any time. Particularly now, though, you could actually develop a clear view of what that looks like for you. This will probably take a while to forge itself into a definite shape; be patient, and don’t force the issue. Just hold in your mind a sincere desire to grow into your vocation. Pay attention to what’s happening in your environment, which is likely to provide some clues. Understanding how you make your choices could also prove valuable. Above all, trust your judgment. This is a decision for you alone, and no-one has the right to narrow your field of options. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Our social framework seems not to favor entirely honest communication, including with ourselves. There’s a weirdness to the way that plays out in the present atmosphere of posting unfiltered trivialities on social media. Learning to be clear with oneself can be complicated with a temptation to broadcast one’s findings immediately, and discretion becomes a fine line to tread. What might help, this week, is for you to insert an obligatory break between having a revelation and sharing it. If you do discover something, chances are you’ll need time to decipher its full import. Treat it as delicately as an archaeological dig. — by Amy Elliott.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — There would seem to be rather a heavy emphasis on your social world at present. If you enjoy this sort of thing, by all means let your hair down and have a good time. Be wary, though, of any indication that it might be getting too much. If you feel as if your energies are being diffused, consider which activities you can cut out. Prioritize real-world encounters over virtual; the former are more likely to be satisfying, relaxing or grounding. If necessary, take a break altogether until you feel ready to re-engage. You are most likely to benefit just now from your contacts being of the deep and thorough sort. — by Amy Elliott. For your Eric Francis horoscope this week, please see this link.
