The Cosmic Connection

Rising sign horoscopes for April 9 – 15

Aries: You may feel less motivated than usual. Tune into it, and listen to your body. Periods of rest are important to recharge your energy. A little self-care can go a long way!

Taurus: Your dreamscape may be more active than usual. Slow down and quiet your mind as much as possible. It’s important to be receptive to information incoming from the liminal.

Gemini: You may feel less outgoing than usual this week. It’s OK to pull your energy back from social engagements and social media. Take a break, and give yourself time to rejuvenate.

Cancer: Trust your intuition in the workplace. A sleight of hand or hidden motivations may be brewing beneath the surface. Stay in your lane, be an observer, and read between the lines.

Leo: Your thirst for new experiences may hit a dry spell this week. Take advantage of the opportunity in the pause. It may offer a perspective change you need to change course.

Virgo: You may be growing weary from ways in which you’ve entangled yourself with others. Go deeper into the experience. A diamond in the rough lesson about yourself awaits.

Libra: The motivations of others nearest you may be confusing or secretive. Frenemies are a real thing. Remember what relationships show you about yourself, and heed the lesson.

Scorpio: Something about your health and wellness may require more investigation. Take advantage of the additional time by tuning into your body and seeking the deeper root.

Sagittarius: When you create something, it takes on a life of its own. The consciousness of your creations is calling your attention. Form the bond between yourself and your inspiration.

Capricorn: Family drama may be developing, and aggressive behavior could require addressing. Rules of engagement are up to you. Boundaries may be a requirement.

Aquarius: Your communication style or the way you speak up for yourself may take on new meaning. Explore it. Something new with your voice wants to emerge.

Pisces: Your time is one of your greatest resources. You have permission this week to “waste time.” Relax more, do nothing, and enjoy the sweetness of allowing yourself to just be.

Weekly astrology summary:

The fog lifts in one way this week and takes on a different form in another. We’ve cleared the post-retrograde shadow period of the first Mercury retrograde of this year, which brings clarity to what lessons came up around our mindsets in February and March. Another first in our lifetimes experience begins to brew as Mars shifts into Aries on April 9. We’ve all experienced Mars spending time on home turf, Aries. However we haven’t yet experienced masterful Mars and numinous Neptune meeting up in this part of the zodiac. This will occur on April 13. A personal and collective “fog of war” can be experienced by this particular meetup. Motivation can feel fleeting, hidden motivations can be sensed yet not entirely realized, fatigue may be felt, and things that are usually clear can be generally confusing. Trust your instincts and your intuition. Brand new, bold spiritual insight is one of the opportunities available, along with the spark of inspiration returning in a new form once the fog lifts. Even more clarity and truth can come by the week’s end as Mercury follows Mars’ lead and enters Aries on April 15, adding more emphasis to the Aries part of the zodiac and, in turn, ourselves.
