The Cosmic Connection
with Ursula Duffy
Horoscopes for April 3-9
Astrology, by definition, is the study of time and light. It is an art that has been utilized by humanity for millennia to provide a better understanding of how the cosmos affects life on Earth. One’s personal horoscope, also known as a birth or natal chart, is a snapshot of the sun, moon, planets and more at the moment of one’s birth. This snapshot holds many keys and secrets to one’s personality and characteristics. It can be considered one’s map, guidebook and lesson plan for life! Everything in the cosmos continues moving beyond the moment of your birth, which influences your life in various and cyclical ways. The rhythm of the sun, moon, planets, stars, and seasons at specific ages influence your life and possibly your attitude toward life. The weekly horoscopes provided here in Shore Local Newsmagazine are written based on your rising sign. These horoscopes are intended to provide guidance and insight based on these rhythms and the cosmic connection to your lived experience. So much is written in the stars! It is my intention that these entries will assist you in deciphering what is encoded within you.
♈Aries: Your waking life may seem more like a dream than usual. That’s the point of this time. Lean into it and embrace the lure of your imagination.
♉Taurus: The rewrite of your future is still underway. The language is ethereal yet grounded in an emerging new form. Your capacity to co-create has just been leveled.
♊Gemini: The swiftness of your thoughts and mental agility may feel stalled this week. The discomfort of a wet blanket encourages expanding into new digs.
♋Cancer: Your public image or role may be shifting in ways that are difficult to discern. This is coupled with shifting beliefs, values and emerging clarity around disillusionment. Go with the flow.
♌Leo: Life is asking you to surrender the comfort zone of your own resourcefulness. As you peer into murky waters before diving in, your heart beckons intimate trust in another.
♍Virgo: The waves of redefining your closest relationships are coming ashore like sets at Mavericks. Whether to duck or ride is up to you. Either way, facing fear is one significant lesson.
♎Libra: Standing solidly on your own two feet may feel challenging. Changes in your health and/or day-to-day life can knock you off balance. A new, stabilizing discipline is emerging.
♏Scorpio: The creativity zone of your life is flooded with ambiguity. The dynamic between realizing something solid and something still unformed remains in motion.
♐Sagittarius: All things home and family have been in a deep chapter of review. There’s a connection to your work and health. An ending in one area can create a beginning in the other.
♑Capricorn: Your untapped inner magic is beckoning for a voice. Redefining your perspective around its container will reveal a new foundation for communication.
♒Aquarius: The infinite depths of your ingenuity are slowly being shown to you. As values and resources are redistributed, a redefinition of yourself becomes part of the process.
♓Pisces: The constitution of your being is like the inside of a chrysalis. The beautiful creation being formed is still partly imaginal cells. The vision for the new you is limitless.
Weekly astrology summary:
The cosmic energy is still tightly concentrated in the zodiac sign Pisces this week. The threshold between transcendence and birth is an active highway with blind curves and parts requiring high beams that can’t quite illuminate the path ahead. We all may need some extra travel time or even extra time pulled over on the shoulder, waiting out the weather or traffic. Mercury retrograde ends on April 7, although the interventions may continue due to the Piscean terroir, which isn’t Mercury’s homestead. On the same day, stern Saturn and wanderlust Venus meet up again, attempting to re-curate amends in relationship challenges and fears that still need healing space. Their efforts may feel like trying to pour something into a form on the surface of the ocean. Patience and compassion are required to endure attempts at what may ultimately result in means to an end. Healing heart wounds are one of the most grueling parts of this Earth experience. Venus’s retrograde lasts until April 12; more on that next week. See the above horoscope for your rising sign for more specific information.
