While Mars in Aries imparts action, Apr. 9, the last quarter moon cautions transition as the tune of its emotional tide, Apr. 10.

Aries: You may feel conflicted, chasing the close of a cycle with sudden inspirations. Try to direct your drive towards seeing things through so that nothing follows you into your next new start. 

Taurus: Your calming routine is complicated by a call to move things along. Try not to shut things down in anticipation of what’s to come. Trust every best foot forward to lead in your best direction.

Gemini: You have a talent for smoothing over gaps and holding things in opposition. Relax into your experience if you feel pulled in many directions. You can hold out until you find what resonates.

Cancer: If the world is on your shoulders, offer gifts in bits and pieces. Closing a chapter can be a group effort; reach out so as not to sink. Call is in action.

Leo: If you need to be attended to, avoid abstract cries for help. All eyes are not on you if you’re going for a flameout. Add some intention to both your bark and your bite.

Virgo: Sudden shifts in energy may throw you off guard, but open your armour to changes in direction. As tempting as it is to draw lines in the sand for security, be careful about the faith you put in your fingertips. 

Libra: You’re a star in the eleventh hour, and your bright moment is approaching. Your choices direct a spotlight and answer, “Who’s the fairest of them all?” Choose with your heart.

Scorpio: Sentimentality may throw you for a loop, which brings your hand to the handle of a lasso. Keep in mind, blind swings bring regret. Throw out daisy chains, instead.

Sagittarius: You have a gift for gliding through transition states – in fact, you may wish to prolong the freedom of uncertainty. Pass on gold batons, or rose coloured binoculars.

Capricorn: Open the doors of a museum, rather than a travelling gallery. Be wary of straws as backstabbers, as you assess the collection you carry. Meditate on the power of things.

Aquarius: You may feel inclined to dismiss transitory responsibility as just another come-and-go. Once this week, carry a heavy memory to the river. See it float as it drifts away.

Pisces: Does this feel like a dream? Is it like all your hopes, or something entirely unimaginable? Give thanks widely and wildly. Kiss every doorframe on your way out.

For you to take with as many grains of salt as there are stars in the sky.
