Hello stargazers and welcome to the wonderful month of April. This month is looking to be an exciting and transformative month for many of us. With the sun moving through impulsive and passionate Aries for the first few weeks, expect to feel a surge of energy and enthusiasm for starting new projects and taking risks. This is a time to go after what you want with all your heart, so take a chance and let your inner fire guide you.

Mid-month, as the sun shifts into grounded and sensual Taurus, energy slows down a bit, but the focus on pleasure and enjoyment remains strong. This is a great time to indulge in your favorite foods, take a relaxing vacation, or simply spend time in nature. Taurus energy encourages us to slow down and appreciate the simple things in life, so embrace taking a break and enjoy the moment.

Towards the end of the month, the full moon in Scorpio on April 27 brings intense emotions and deep transformations to the surface. Time to confront your fears and purge any old patterns that are holding you back. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but the rewards of facing your shadow self are worth it. Trust that the universe is guiding you towards your highest good, and embrace the changes that come your way with open arms.
