Virgo Virgo
April 24 ~ May 8 Stop all that you are doing and ask yourself this, “What has April brought you, and what has it taught you?” Take some time to feel it. Your Soul called in all that has occurred. Why? Go ahead and take some more time to sit with the why. While there are a few days left of the month and it is due to end with an exclamation point, there is powerful hope on the horizon. April is a month for catalysts that facilitate your evolution, and much of what has been surfacing will be a theme that continues for the next six months. It started with your ruler Mercury in Aries making an about-face on April 1st. With Aries being the first sign of the zodiac, this points to something being given to you that you feel is also being taken away. A gift that leaves. It may be a lesson to enjoy in full what you have in the moment, trusting that if the connection is strong enough, it will forever remain. A dear friend reminded me of a Pueblo Indian Blessing, “Hold on to what is good, even if it is a handful of earth. Hold onto what you believe, even if it is a tree that stands alone. Hold on to what you must do, even if it is a long way from here. Hold onto life, even if it is easier letting go. Hold onto my hand, even if I have gone away from you.” No doubt April has brought you to the very edge of yourself. Yet, it has offered you plenty; some you have taken and some you were left feeling unsure about what to do with what had arrived. As much as April may have poked and prodded and yet also spurred you on, you are wiser and better for the ride. May offers love in abundance, a love you can count on. But before we get there, your ruler Mercury stations direct in Aries on Thursday, April 25, which in and of itself will feel like a relief, as something has had you holding your breath, and even if you did not want to see the day come or were wondering if it ever would, either way, you will finally be able to exhale. Your life force will be restored. Venus exits Aries and enters fellow earth sign Taurus on Monday April 29, and then immediately squares Pluto in Aquarius to end April and begin May. This tugs on any tendency for attachment, and the pain of what occurs when we are dependent on others for joy. Mars steps in strong here and enters Aries on Tuesday, April 30, and finds Pluto with great ease in the process to empower you forward. Mars says, you don’t have to be ready, you just have to be courageous, and courageous you shall be. A New Moon in fellow earth sign Taurus is a tremendous lift for you, Virgo, on Tuesday, May 7, as it is fed with the healing strength of Saturn in Pisces, where others you can truly count on come through for you as you experience an exchange of love in equal measure. Natural connections deepen at this time, and you feel the immediate impact of recent emotional trials and turns that you have just come through. Bravo for your brave stride.
A bounty worth bathing in is on its way!
