astrology forecast + collective tarot card for the week
Card for this week: 3 of Swords - card from the week of 12/29-1/4/26 (reversed that week). also showed up twice last winter in the upright around the venus retrograde. feelings of grief, heartbreak, relational wounding are all present for review. what baggage continues to drag from those past times of review? what are you now ready to really let go of? what might you be stifling or pushing down in the hopes that it will go away, rather than looking at it and letting it pass through? this is a volatile week and repression will not work for long, but this energy will pass. only way out is through!
This Weekâs Astro Forecast Vibes - one last influx of aries energy before taurus season begins this weekend! huge pile of aries right now culminating in a new moon, lots of mercury aspects, battles need to be chosen wisely. huge potential for fighting/conflicts - interpersonally, societally, globally. anything that can remind you to take a breath and choose next steps with intention will serve you best in the long run. things may feel like they are erupting right now, be prepared. speak your mind, but sit with the feelings first. happy taurus season! letâs look to this incoming taurus energy to find the earth under our feet after this wave of fiery initiations and new beginnings. no current retrogrades!
monday 4/13 - venus sextile jupiter - continuing the recent trend of channeling through creativity and self expression, as well as socializing and expanding your horizons. connecting with others comes naturally today, and we really need that. thereâs a lot of old aches and pains present throughout this week, as well as the state of chaos globally, find the joy and interconnectedness with others where you can.
tuesday 4/14 - mercury sextile uranus, mercury enters aries - communication takes a bold and adventurous turn today. speaking your mind is a priority, and so is exploring new psychological territory - expanding beyond past the existing norm. donât be afraid to say something unpopular and ruffle some feathers, but be mindful of being honest to the point of cruelty.
thursday 4/16 - sun conjunct chiron, mars sextile pluto, mercury conjunct neptune - intense vibe today with almost all aspecting planets in aries (aside from pluto in aquarius). past wounds and illusions might be clouding your vision. sensitive subjects are on the table and provoking very emotional responses. things may feel very personal and you have to remind yourself to zoom out and not take it as such.Â
friday 4/17 - new moon in aries - first aries new moon with both saturn and neptune in aries! thereâs a combination of those energies (+ mercury and mars nearby) with this new moon - generally pointing to this question of âwhat is beginning right now?â. with 7 planetary bodies all in aries this new moon, the urge to start anew with a totally fresh slate is very strong. be mindful of urgency or volatility - destruction/disruption is very likely today, but keep in mind that this can be used to create something new.Â
saturday 4/18 - mercury sextile pluto - see where you seek to dig deep, beyond surface level information. what truths are inconvenient but need to be seen to move forward? intuition might come in the form of sudden revelations or random research rabbit holes. talk out loud until you realize what needs to be said.
sunday 4/19 - mars conjunct saturn, sun enters taurus - seeking grounding and stabilizing action today. determination to show up and work, regardless of how long it takes (though the aries energy might make it feel more urgent than it actually is). definite potential for battle and argument, continuing with the energy of the last few days. ground yourself where you can - welcome in taurus season by finding your stable ground in this turbulent time. do something kind for yourself - indulging can keep you level right now.Â
Food For Journaling Thought:
whatâs something that always brings you back to reality/earth? a food, a movie/form of media, anything that grounds you. what do you find so grounding about it?
generally, what is feeling urgent or explosive in your world right now? why does it feel like that? whatâs underneath that?Â
what do you need to admit to yourself, but maybe not share with others (yet)?
where are you fearful of starting anew?
