Horoscope Reading April 10-16
Welcome back once more, my dear readers. We're exactly one week away from the Wind moon, the full moon of April; this week sees her wax gibbous, so if you have any full moon plans or practices, now's the time to be gathering any supplies and setting up whatever you need for that. I, personally, am planning on spending the day in the woods, reconnecting to nature, given that the wind moon is associated most greatly with growth, fertility, beginnings, and spirituality.
If you've not yet made any plans, perhaps this week's taroscope might be of assistance; your sign's prediction might help you shape the ritual you might want to undertake.
The incense I chose this week is Eucalyptus, for its healing and soothing vibrations. The altar cloth is laid out; the cards cleared, shuffled, and charged, then placed in their positions for the zodiac spread.
The layout of the cards is such:

So now let's get to the interpretations.
Pisces ♓ (February 19 - March 20): Queen of Pentacles
Pisces in general are known for their compassion, empathy, and wisdom, and this is likely reflected in many ways in your life. Quite likely, in your friend group, you're the one that everyone goes to when they need help, or advice, or even just someone to vent to, and this week is the time to let those traits flourish. If a friend is having a hard time, lend an ear, lend a shoulder to cry on, be the person they can lean on. Be the mom friend, and don't be afraid to take new people under your wing. Is there someone at work who seems to have been going through a rough time? Let them vent to you, offer them a hand to hold. Is someone in your family acting more distant than usual? Reach out to them, ask them if they're doing okay. Be generous with your emotions this week.
Cancer ♋ (June 21 - July 22): Four of Wands
You've got a good week coming up, Cancer; this card tends to foretell a celebration of some kind, or the achievement of a milestone or checkpoint in your life. Most often this card is also associated with community, family, and home, so it's possible that there's some kind of event, get-together, or reunion planned for this week. Whatever it may be, this week you have a little time to unwind, release any leftover tension from last week, and just have some fun with the people in your life that love you.
Scorpio ♏ (October 23 - November 21): Seven of Cups (reversed)
Sometimes the choices presented to us are too convoluted, too confusing, with too many uncertain options. Sometimes we are simply not in the right headspace to make a decision; after coming out the other side of betrayal and pain, it can be all too easy to be tempted, led astray. How can you know which way to turn if you're unclear about where it is you're going? This week, Scorpio, I'd advise doing what you do best; lay low, strategize, and wait for the right moment to make your move.
Aries ♈ (March 21 - April 19): Seven of Pentacles
This card calls for patience. You've recently completed a journey, Aries, and I'm sure you're rearing for the next one, but right now is not the time to act. It may be hard for you, but the best thing you can do right now is keep on chugging. The seeds of your next project have been planted, and, though you can't see it, they have germinated and the roots have begun to grow. It won't be long now until you start to see your hard work pay off, so long as you can remain diligent.
Leo ♌ (July 23 - August 22): Ten of Pentacles (reversed)
Money doesn't buy happiness, Leo; in fact, this week, it seems it'll do quite the opposite. Especially in our society, money can be a stressful topic, especially when one's financial situation is going poorly, which, I'm sorry to say, it will this week for you. This card asks you to examine your relationship with and recent decisions regarding your finances; have you taken a gamble of some sort? Invested in something you maybe didn't think all the way through? This week may see your money situation take a bit of a tumble, so get ready for that. You may need to tighten your belt a bit in the days to come.
Sagittarius ♐ (November 22 - December 21): King of Swords (reversed)
For a lover of freedom, there's nothing worse than when a control freak is placed in a position of authority over you. Regrettably, this week you may find yourself in just such a situation. We all know the micromanaging boss trope; they want everything done exactly the way they want it, and refuse to allow any wiggle room for new ideas. On the one hand, this may present a clash of personalities between you and them, but on the other, you, Sagittarius, might be the only person that can deal with this. Your signature honesty and lack of filter may serve you quite well this week, as absolute truth is likely the only thing that can get through to this person.
Aquarius ♒ (January 20 - February 18): Two of Pentacles
This week, above all else, you must focus on balance. You may have a habit of getting so fixated on the macro that you forget about the micro. Your day-to-day resonsibilities, boring though they may be, need your attention too. This card also calls for flexibility; it's important to be adaptable as some situations an move quite quickly, and if you can't roll with the punches, then you might get knocked down. Just for this week, I'd advise putting down your big plans for the future and doing a little bit of maintenance.
Gemini ♊ (May 21 - June 20): The Moon (reversed)
After what feels like forever, you've finally got clarity, Gemini. This week, the fantasies, illusions, and delusions that have been plaguing will start to waver, allowing you to see through them to the truth. This doesn't mean these truths will be straightforward; it'll be up to you to interpret the messages and visions you recieve, and to apply them in a productive manner.
Libra ♎ (September 23 - October 22): Eight of Pentacles
Workin' hard, or hardly workin', Libra? This week is the time to buckle down and dedicate yourself to whatever project or path you've undertaken. You're learning, you're growing, and your skill is increasing with every minute you spend practicing your craft. Your success in this is one hundred percent achievable, and it is one hundred percent up to you to achieve it; all you have to do is work for it. Diligence, focus, and hard work will see you through to enormous success.
Capricorn ♑ (December 22 - January 19): Six of Swords
Though you've been through a lot, you're heading into smoother waters. Life goes on, past the highs, past the lows, past all the pain and drama and ever, ever on. This week, Capricorn, you're heading into a transition of sorts; out with the old and in with the new. Perhaps after a long period of unemployment, you'll finally land a new job. Or perhaps, after swipe after swipe after swipe, you'll finally meet someone new with whom you'll really click. Whatever it ends up being, you're moving towards physical and spiritual harmony, leaving the past where it belongs; behind you. Onward and forward, Capricorn. Onward and forward.
Taurus ♉ (April 20 - May 20): Ace of Wands (reversed)
It's possible that you either have been or will be feeling restless, like there's something more that you want to be doing but you just can't get a grasp on what. There are a lot of thoughts swirling in your head right now, and clarity is something you don't have at the moment. This is the time to do what you do best, Taurus; just keep chugging along. Instead of acting on impulse, work slowly, methodically, forward as you slowly piece together what it is you actually want. Baby steps, Taurus. Baby steps.
Virgo ♍ (August 23 - September 22): Nine of Swords (reversed)
Life isn't always easy, Virgo, and no matter how hard you try, you can't control everything around you. All that you can control is yourself, your reactions to the world around you, and your own thought processes. The difficulties in your life, the worries in your mind, have been causing a not insignificant amount of anxiety and a number of sleepless nights, but this week, as you come to terms with the fact that worrying about things you can't change will only cause you harm, you'll begin to see yourself healing and becoming more composed.
Though I make no promises or guarantees (as stated in the disclaimers of my introductory post), I do hope that this reading is helpful to you in the coming week, and if it does turn out to be accurate, please don't hesitate to leave a comment or reach out! I'd love to hear feedback. Also, to circle back to what I wrote about in the beginning of my post, if you'd like to share your plans for the wind moon, I would love to hear (read) about them, so don't hesitate on leaving a comment for that, too!
A couple quick reminders; I do personal readings on fiverr, only $5-$15 per depending on the complexity of the spread, and I also have a patreon, if you enjoyed this blog and want to support it! I will also be setting up a stand at the Aurora Famer's Market and Artisan Fair with a colleague of mine this summer, so if you're in the York Region of Ontario and have nothing better to do on a Saturday morning, come on by! He and I will be selling our handmade jewelry and doing tarot readings.
You can also follow me on Tumblr or Instagram if you'd like to hear more from me, even though I don't really post all that much.
Thank you so much for reading, and I will be back with another post next week!
