The Cosmic Connection
with Ursula Duffy
Horoscopes for April 17 – 23
♈Aries: It’s a good time to have a heart-to-heart with yourself about your resources. Honesty and truth come from within, regardless of what others think or tell you.
♉Taurus: Remember that the strongest relationship you have is the one with yourself. Attract others who have your best interests at heart by valuing and being at peace within yourself.
♊Gemini: Energy flows where your attention goes. Thoughts and an inner dialogue that boost your self-esteem fuel a positive attitude and perspective.
♋Cancer: Comparing oneself to others is human nature. Feeling envious of those around you is a nudge to look within and appreciate your unique gifts and challenges.
♌Leo: You can shine brighter on the outside by polishing up the inside. Open up your beautiful heart by forgiving yourself or others and releasing any resentments.
♍Virgo: Feeling lonely is an invitation to shift your perspective. Exploration of the unseen, esoteric or foreign can call in new knowledge, helping you feel more seen.
♎Libra: Be proud of who you are, especially amid turmoil from or confusion about your closest relationships. Firmness in your authenticity creates flourishing self-love.
♏Scorpio: Close friends and partners hold up the mirror for you to learn more about you. Blaming others is a form of projection and an opportunity to look more deeply into yourself.
♐Sagittarius: A daily gratitude practice can be grounding. Give thanks for your current blessings as well as for that which you desire most to manifest.
♑Capricorn: Being more in touch with your creative force can pave the way for expansion in other areas of your life. Growth in your consciousness inspires growth in the tangible.
♒Aquarius: Resistance to change is futile. Anchor in the stability of your being while allowing movement for growth and evolution in who you are inside and out, and in your relationships.
♓Pisces: While waves of transformation are still churning, support can be found in your immediate surroundings. Process the depth of the journey through simple conversations.
Weekly astrology summary:
The sun shifts into sensual, grounding Taurus on Saturday, April 19, ushering in the beginning of Taurus season. The qualities of Taurus include comfort, security, stability, strength and sensory experience through the body and material things. It relates to the physical world, things we can experience with all our senses: plants, rocks, food, our “threads”, money, pleasure and sensuality. Quality is prized over quantity; think of The Finer Things Club from the hit show “The Office”. The second half of April features tension and agitation in the cosmos that may stir up extreme Taurus energy, which can be materialistic, indulgent, possessive, fixed and very resistant to change. Connecting with the earth and the physical can help create a sense of stability when things feel beyond our control. See the above horoscope for your rising sign for more specific information.
