An Unexpected Surge of Passion Arrives – ryan

Spring vibes are in the air!

This is the first week of the year that we will feel the universe picking up speed once again because our personal planets — Mercury (ruling our daily affairs and minds), Venus (aligned with our relationships) and Mars (linked to energy levels and drive) are all finally awake.

An increase in momentum begins when Mercury ventures into Aries on May 15, one day before life resumes to its normal pace. We’ll feel fired up about our goals and an extra surge of passion around our heart’s desires when Mars dives into Leo on April 17.

April 16, meanwhile, is a perfect time for relaxation, creativity and spirituality. Channel imaginative ideas or simply enjoy lying low more now. From April 17 through early next week, there’s an exhilarating energy to infuse passion into any goal or relationship. Taurus season begins on April 19.

Read on for what the cosmos has in store for your zodiac sign this week!

Aries (March 20-April 19)

You’ve been in a warp zone for quite some time, Aries. You could’ve felt like you’ve been constantly struggling to move through sludge, forced to revisit situations, plans and discussions from the past.

Luckily now and in the many weeks ahead, you could feel that life is back in the fast lane and you’re able to slowly but surely regain your ground. Take your time, but be confident that you can proceed. Consider any of the delays and revisions in recent weeks as a blessing in disguise!

Taurus (April 19-May 20)

In the past few months, Taurus, you’ve likely been scratching your head as to why almost nothing has moved forward in any areas of your life. It may have felt like you’ve been in a perpetual backward spiral.

Projects that have been in development behind the scenes have likely stalled or you could’ve been engaged with damage control situations that were lurking in the shadows. Finally, the stars are turning and you could find that you’re able to proceed yet again.

For instance, if you’ve been involved with those projects behind the scenes that were requiring extra revisions, something might click into place now or in the weeks ahead that gets you back on track.

Gemini (May 20-June 20)

Life has been slow in recent weeks, Gemini, but you may have enjoyed this far more than other zodiac signs. While there could have been confusion around important goals or your social life, you may have also had an opportunity to review your long-term plans or reconnect with pals.

Hopefully, you’ve taken this opportunity to live in the moment and not stress yourself out about what’s out of your control. If there have been plans that have been stagnant or a misunderstanding with a friend, starting this week, things could begin to sort themselves out.

Cancer (June 20-July 22)

For quite some time, Cancer, you may have felt that professional matters have been like trying to move a boulder uphill with very little progress. You may have been pulling your hair out with the lack of growth or the fact that there’s been an endless list of things to review and revise from the past.

Luckily, you may now find the missing pieces or hear from an authority figure who can move you back on track. While momentum may not be as rapid as you’d still like, you can still use the weeks ahead to improve your strategies.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)

The past few weeks have been all sorts of confusing for everyone, Leo. You’ve likely felt this deep urge in the center of your soul for adventure and change, but may have been lost on how to pursue it or which direction to take. This may be in regard to your personal or professional life.

On a positive note, you could start to see that doors are opening to you in many different ways now and you’re able to spread your wings in new directions and feel confident within your courage once again.

Virgo (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)

In recent weeks, Virgo, there seems to have been a lack of balance in your life. There could’ve been a couple of different ways this may have manifested.

Some may have felt your intimate needs were not being met or that there’s been a need for revision around trust, vulnerability and alliances. For others, it instead may have manifested as challenges with large financial matters.

Luckily, beginning this week, whatever spun off the tracks should begin to get under control once again.

Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)

You’ve been spinning in a cyclone in relation to all partnership matters in recent weeks, Libra. There could’ve been a need to readdress where you stand.

Starting now, things should finally start to align a bit better. Still tread lightly, but be open to taking new approaches to building forward now. On a different note, others might’ve been reconnecting with partners from the past and if so, you may now have to decide if it’s worth it.

Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 21)

You may feel like the universe has been testing you, Scorpio. Something major has been off around your productivity, health, employment, routines or responsibilities.

Perhaps it’s felt like there’s been too much on your plate, you’re spinning out of control, dealing with burnout or rather waiting for something to finally move forward. Productive energy is here, so strategize how to check off all the boxes.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

The past few weeks may have caused delays in life, Sagittarius. In particular, there may have been confusion, challenges or stagnation with your romantic life, children or enjoyment in life.

Moving forward, you’re likely to see what caused this obstacle as it sorts itself out and allows you to move forward once again. Others may have recently reconnected with a past sweetheart, now having to decide how they’d like to approach the situation.

Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 19)

You may have felt like your emotions have been a bit confusing in recent weeks, Capricorn. Some may have felt more triggered or detached, depending on how in touch you are with your feelings.

Perhaps it was related to your home life, family life, domestic life or even real estate. If something had been off around these themes, it could now be something you’re getting a handle on. Proceed slowly but surely once again.

Aquarius (Jan. 19-Feb. 18)

The past few weeks could’ve made it hard to communicate your thoughts and ideas to the world, Aquarius. In fact, it may have felt like you — and everyone around you — aren’t even speaking the same language and everything is getting lost in translation.

Some may have even experienced confusion around communications-related endeavors, your social life, a contract or travel itineraries. Luckily, things should finally be moving onward yet again. The hiccups you experienced weren’t here to punish you, just test your patience!

Pisces (Feb. 18-March 20)

While you’ve likely noticed the rather sluggish energy for quite some time, Pisces, the past few weeks have been particularly noticeable. It may have felt like there was a deep confusion or need for revision around financial matters, your income or your job.

If there had been delays around money or more expenses than you’d like, everything should start to sort itself out as you proceed through your weeks ahead. Take some time to look at your accounts and fine tune your income and expense plan.
