The Cosmic Connection
with Ursula Duffy
Horoscopes for
April 10 – 16
♈Aries: Your closest relationships are highlighted this week, along with the dynamic between your self-image and role in your family. All of the healing you’ve already done is a solid foundation for anything else that rises to the surface.
♉Taurus: The tortoise is your spirit animal this week. Appreciate the slower pace and retreat into your shell when needed. The light shines on imbalances in your daily life and health.
♊Gemini: Fun and creativity are at the forefront this week. If your work lights you up already, most excellent! If not, you may crave a little extra time off to refill your cup, especially if a creative project is ripening.
♋Cancer: Family themes and patterns reach full tide, flooding the banks of unfamiliar territory. Being forced to look where the waters recede coaxes an enlightening perspective.
♌Leo: Conversations and communication you have delayed or avoided need your attention. Feelings of balance can be restored through addressing sensitive or intimate subject matters with grace and compassion.
♍Virgo: Concerted efforts in surrendering perfection will be rewarded. Financial gain, a polished sense of confidence or a relationship boost are all candidates with great potential.
♎Libra: Extra rest and time at home may be required this week. Focus on feeling full and whole in the relationship you have with yourself. Breathwork or breathing exercises can assist you with releasing any tense emotions.
♏Scorpio: Your emotional and intuitive sensitivity is heightened as the light shines on what’s usually hidden. Keep the energy in motion through journaling, conversation or channeling it into something that brings you joy.
♐Sagittarius: A goal reaches manifestation. Celebrate the achievement with the people that made it possible. A dinner party or home gathering can enhance camaraderie.
♑Capricorn: Recognition for your artistic and creative contributions in your career is coming. Allow yourself to be seen and receive accolades with gratitude.
♒Aquarius: A longer-term journey or project reaches maturation. The ripples and influence on your resources are yet to be seen. Time detaching can ease burnout.
♓Pisces: As you slowly unfurl from the chrysalis, the light is beckoning you to shine where you tend to stay hidden. Healing comes with the courage to reveal the true you.
Weekly astrology summary:
The cosmic centerpiece of the week is the Libra full moon on Saturday, April 12 at 8:22 p.m. (ET). It will reach fullness as it rises in the east, creating a sense of stillness, beauty and peace. The feeling of stillness comes not only from the moon’s fullness, but also from its ruling planet Venus, which will be at a standstill in the sky, ending the retrograde that began on March 1. This full moon also closes out the first eclipse season of 2025. As we begin to integrate and embody the month of March, we’ll start to experience a sense of forward momentum. This full moon is ripe with underlying energies related to identity healing, making peace with and taking responsibility for our emotional state and liberation from people-pleasing patterns. See the above horoscope for your rising sign for more specific information. If you’re unsure what your rising sign is, you can learn more in my info/tutorial video on my Ursa Alchemy YouTube channel, or cast your own birth chart for free on astro.com.
Cosmic Connection activity: The Cosmic Connection offers guidance for the energies moving forward and content for reflection. We can now look back to the weekly horoscopes/astrology summary for the week of Sept. 26, when there was a new moon in Libra. Reflecting on the longer, 6-month lunar cycle at the time of the full moon can provide great insight into what’s now culminating. You can find the Cosmic Connection for Sept. 26 – Oct. 2 online at shorelocalnews.com by searching for “Libra new moon”. I’d love to hear about your Cosmic Connections!
