What does the second week of April have in store for your sign? It is currently Aries season — Lady Gaga’s star sign!

Aries: You are being invited to focus on yourself and grow into yourself. This, though, can be a burden. It is a tumultuous period of self-reflection, full of difficult realizations. This is not the kind of growth you choose to initiate; it is growth you are being forced into. It will be undoubtedly difficult but necessary. As you move through this hard time, know that every hurdle will bring you closer to becoming a stronger, braver person. You are known for your resilience. Hold onto that.


Taurus: Find a balance between seclusion and self-expression. Do not isolate yourself, but in the time you do take alone, reflect on yourself with reckless abandon. You’re meant to grow through this period and truly consider who you are and what you want to be. This growth will be facilitated by connection. Sometimes, you need to look in a mirror, and sometimes the only people who can hold that mirror up for you are your loved ones. So, let them. You will never be alone.


Gemini: You’re caught between two worlds that you can’t seem to balance. There’s a part of you that wants to stay career-oriented, to work and earn the money you deserve and put that life first. But there’s another part that’s growing stronger and stronger that just wants to settle down and live a life of comfort and security. Perhaps that life is not entirely attainable yet, but still, you’re feeling more and more worn down. While the balance between fun and career seems impossible, it surely isn’t. You’re smart enough to figure out a way.


Cancer: Your determination is enough to strike fear in others. You are on a winning streak, and your motivation isn’t beginning to die down. Don’t be afraid to be a little bossy, a little demanding. You’ve been too passive for too long. Now, you have goals to accomplish and rewards to reap. Your future is so bright, it’s blinding. Those who are truly in your corner will celebrate this, not become alienated by it. So, let yourself be assertive. Show that the crab can pinch. 


Leo: This is the time to make new discoveries about yourself and your life. Where are you lacking and where are you excelling? What do you do with that information? There’s a difference between discovery and introspection, too — there is an urgency to act with what you’ve now realized. Hiding from what you learn about yourself is the worst you can do. You have to be vocal, as hard as it may be. You have to show yourself to the world. You are the sun. Never deny that, no matter how afraid you are.

Virgo: What do you truly want from your relationships? Are you communicating that, or are you sitting in silence? It’s important to picture yourself in the future, and picture how you’d feel. You deserve to be happy in your love. You don’t need to hide everything you feel. You need to celebrate it, even if it’s hard. Even if it requires sacrifice. Death is a form of rebirth. Are you prepared for that?


Libra: You’re picturing a future so perfect, and you know you need to put in the work to get there. That work starts now. It’s largely emotional. Look deep into yourself and see what needs healing. Put in that effort to mend what has been torn. It is a heavy burden, but it is worth it. You deserve the life you can picture for yourself. You are so enamored by beauty, and why not experience it? You’ve earned it.




Scorpio: You can’t pretend to be happy forever. You’re hiding all of your deepest emotions, convincing yourself that this is what’s best for you. You’ve grown up like that, forced yourself to become used to that. It’s not healthy, and you know that. You feel a deep burden, but now is the time to turn that burden into discipline. Force yourself out of your comfort zone. Break free of the prison you’ve put yourself in. You deserve to be free. 


Sagittarius: You’ve found a home in someone. Revel in that comfort and joy. So many good things have come to you. Embrace all of the passion and happiness that has come your way. Don’t worry about the consequences yet. It’s okay to be in the moment, to not worry about what comes next, to embrace your impulsive nature. You don’t have to question this happiness. Live in it as long as the world allows you. 

Capricorn: As you try to create a sense of community and home around you, you’re realizing that you provide that sense of home to others. People feel safe with you and yearn for your company. Do they provide that same sense of safety for you? When you tend to be so out of touch with your own emotions, this can be an overwhelming feeling. For you, it might be better to make home a place or a thing. Be mindful of others’ desires, but think about yourself, too.

Aquarius: Your sense of self is undergoing transformation. Who are you, and who do you want to be? What exactly does that mean? This is a scary period of ego death for you, but all of it is for the better. You are the caterpillar in its cocoon, ready to grow into the version of yourself you were meant to be. Expect anxiety and uncertainty. Know that this growth was fated. Through it all, be vulnerable.


Pisces: You are equal parts in love and furious. It feels like all of your emotions are in a deep state of conflict, and you’re getting lost among them. You’re sitting on so much fury. Where can you direct that? Certainly not at yourself. Channel your anger into something productive. Instead of stewing on all of these feelings in your head, let them out. Know that you are not at fault for being a human being with human emotions.
