[st_row][st_column][st_text id_wrapper=”text_d70f795c7329c92c7fa5a7b21a150e96″ ]I’m paying special attention to this week’s stars for personal reasons, but once I started looking, out came messages for the fire, water, air and earth signs…so below are your elements’ messages from the stars for mid-April, scroll all the way down to the bottom.

I’m curious about Thursday because I’ll be on a stage in Las Cruces, doing something new at a new kind of festival. A major planet (in astrology at least), Pluto, is going retrograde on that day, April 20^th…but here’s what it means for everyone generally:

Pluto actions highlight the gaining of power, the drive for success, and power struggles. Retrograde, it suggests that within themselves, individuals come to realize they have to give something up, whatever it is that’s getting in the way of success. Pluto asks people to root deep within for whatever belief or habit is a thorn in their side. In short, it says a more successful way of being comes now from getting to the root of internal obstacles and rooting them out, so you’ll probably have some big “ah-hah” moments coming up. People will likely know what they need to give up…something or someone they have thought many times of letting go of, but maybe now some new knowledge creates a successful letting-go.

Mercury retrograde gave two messages, one about politics, and the other about the potential for establishing a new order in peoples’ lives, a new balance…it went retrograde as the moon got full in Libra on April 10^th. Last week the planets said expect lots of trickery, sudden bolts and about faces out in the world. For individuals, a positive use of the full moon cycle is that in the next couple of weeks, a new personal order can be established. It will take you more speedily to what you need and want. It will be easier to cut out the excuses and the dead weight, and easier to intuit the deeper wisdom you need. Expect lots of change!

On the political front, the Mercury Rx message was: : Oh, the lies, the lies, bigger and bolder and more extreme than ever before …and by 2019, everybody’s going to know everything that went on.

FREE INTUITION Mini-Workshop. Please come if you’re in Las Cruces at 5 pm on Thursday, April 20^th. The focus group I did it for thought it was fun! It’s at Young Park, the Education, Art, and Music NM420Fest.

I will also be in New Orleans April 29-May 7^th, and the San Francisco Bay Area May 12-16^th.

If you are interested in a new kind of Santa Fe intuition workshop I’m thinking about in May, please get in touch. It will either be two or three days, May 18-19^th, or May 18^th, 19^th, and maybe a half-day on the 20^th for a Saturday circle. For more info please call 505-982-3294 or elissa@elissaheyman.com I’ll post more info soon on my website.

About these horoscopes: They were done in a method that gives very abrupt messages, from astrological symbols drawn in the sand of an arroyo nearby…the signs are arranged inside a circle that’s quartered to represent the south, north, east and west, and then one of them starts talking…

For the Fire signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius: Fire Leave self doubt out of the equation and just do, fire signs…just do one thing after another and stop making a fuss and drama about yourself. Pretend you’re a Capricorn! They’re known for taking small, steady steps to the top of the steepest mountains.

For the Water signs, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces: Well, time to cut the cord…you’ll glug glug glug go down with the ship if you keep on being concerned about people or situations that you cannot change. (see comment about “smooth week” for Air signs below.)

For the Air signs, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius: Volatility up ahead, do not engage in jagged energy coming your way. The best response is to walk away. (It must be a smooth week for you in other ways because only this warning is given.)

For the Earth signs, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn: This is your big push; this is not a time to cater to other people, this is a time to do for yourself, put yourself first, hoping for the best, and vaulting into some new arena. There can be wind beneath your sails through this week’s events.[/st_text][/st_column][/st_row]
