There is a sense of truth and consequence this week<\/a>, as we draw another line in the sand under what was a pretty hectic Q1. With Mercury out of its shadow, all the crossed wires and confusion of Mercury retrograde (which was mid-March<\/a> to the first week in April) should be sorted.<\/p>\n

A new moon on Sunday kicks things off, inviting you to put your money where your mouth is. The feel is \u201ctotal do-over,\u201d and the approach is \u201cblow it all up.\u201d Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will feel it most. Pay attention to the moments of truth that bubble up, and don\u2019t be afraid to cut the cord or go big on a new resolve. What\u2019s great about this lunation is that it feels much stickier than any we\u2019ve had this year. So if you\u2019ve been flip-flopping on whether to commit to something, for fear you\u2019ll immediately bail, consider this an excellent window to go all in and stick with it.<\/p>\n

Later in the week, the Pluto<\/a> weather continues as it stations to go retrograde on Sunday. This is another window where power, control, and truth will be particularly pertinent, both in your day-to-day life and in the news. Watch this space!<\/p>\n

ARIES AND ARIES RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Value and self-worth are hot topics this week as the new moon highlights all the ways you could be doing things from a more powerful position. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take decisive action on getting your finances in order, this is it. With Venus moving into your home sign mid-week, the temptation for instant gratification purchases threatens to derail all those good intentions almost straight away. Stay strong! Nothing good ever came easily.<\/p>\n

TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a real sense of consequence to this week, with Pluto casting a long shadow over the next seven days. The decisions you make could have rebound effects you\u2019ll be living with for some time (thank Saturn\u2019s involvement for that). Go into it with your eyes open. Be willing to stand your ground and dig your heels in. If it matters to you, then that\u2019s enough; it matters. Drama with friends that played out over the Venus retrograde period (February\u2013April) may not directly relate to your current situation, but it could definitely be shaping the way you approach things. Don\u2019t discount what you learned.<\/p>\n

GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Are you in the mood to do a little cosmic weeding? This week\u2019s new moon is asking you to slip on your gloves and get your hands dirty. Consider it a rich window to dive into the things you\u2019ve been avoiding and look them squarely in the eye. Whether or not you\u2019re willing to name them, they\u2019re there, under the surface, influencing every decision you make. With Pluto \u2013 the planet ruling truth \u2013 involved in all the major astro weather this week, it\u2019s time to get real. Nine times out of ten, the things you\u2019ve been most afraid of aren\u2019t half as bad when you actually bite the bullet and tackle them head-on. Be brave and rip the band-aid off.<\/p>\n

CANCER AND CANCER RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There could be some pretty monumental fresh starts in store for friends and allies this week. Look to your social circle to see the beginning of something big taking shape in their life. It might not be easy terrain, but they could do with a friend as they navigate massive changes. Pluto is playing a pivotal role, asking them (and you) to toughen up and tackle something head-on. With the dust settled from Mercury and Venus retrograde, it might finally be time to have that conversation you\u2019ve been avoiding. Just don\u2019t underestimate the impact it could have, and be prepared for all outcomes.<\/p>\n

LEO AND LEO RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sometimes the scariest course of action is to dig in your heels and play it safe. That\u2019s the feel this week as the new moon in Taurus sets the mood for the following month. Saturn \u2013 the planet that asks us to think long term \u2013 is involved, as is Pluto, with all of that equating to making sensible, grounded decisions. Staying put may not be the sexiest option, but if everyone expects you to duck and weave, that united front could be downright transformative. Sometimes, taking the well-lit, well-worn path is a matter of self-preservation. Not everything has to be extremely hard or difficult.<\/p>\n

VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a delicious earthiness available to tap into this week that could feel truly transformative. To kick things off, a new moon asks you to dream big. With Venus and Saturn ruling this lunation, you\u2019re presented with an opportunity to reconnect with something real and present. Whether it’s leaning into a spiritual practice like Kundalini or a long-term goal to see more of the world or picking up where you left off with an enduring (female) friendship, this week is all about sowing seeds to transform your life, long term. Trust that from little things, big things grow.<\/p>\n

LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After months of chaotic energy, this week is asking you to double down on self-care. Getting back to practices that help you ground and recentre could be transformative. While you\u2019re focusing on the here and now, feet-on-the-ground kind of sensations, the flow-on effect on your emotional well-being will be major. Next weekend, a moment of realisation on Sunday could have a far-reaching influence over the way you let off steam or the way you approach parenting (if you have kids).<\/p>\n

SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a big week for Scorps as one of your ruling planets, Pluto, brings the drama. For you, it\u2019s most likely to unfold around close relationships. Look for shifts in the power dynamic as some home truths hit hard. It\u2019s not so much a time to take risks but double down on the path that will keep you feeling safe and grounded in the long term. Reflect on the past couple of months (February\u2014April) for clues on what you need more of to feel settled and secure. Use the intel as your north star and say the things you need to\u2014even if they feel extremely scary in the moment.<\/p>\n

SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s an opportunity for Sagittarians to begin again this week, especially at work. As feathers are ruffled by drama beyond your control, you\u2019re dealt an opportunity to be the in-control first responder. When the proverbial hits the fan, keep calm and carry on. Just because everyone around you is panicked doesn\u2019t mean you need to buy into it too. Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground and just hold steady, you\u2019ve got this.<\/p>\n

CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On a scale of one to Charli XCX, how much fun are you having right now? If you\u2019re feeling more blah than brat, consider this week\u2019s astrology a notice to lighten up. All work and no play makes Cap a dull girlie. But the only person who has the power to readjust the balance of recreation in your schedule? Yep, you guessed it. It you. So, before you hit accept on one more late Zoom, consider: what would happen if you chose to decline? Your 80 per cent effort is like the rest of the zodiac\u2019s 150 per cent. Would the world fall apart? Maybe\u2026or maybe they\u2019d just reschedule. Dare you to find out\u2026<\/p>\n

AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The realisations are coming in thick and fast this week. As Pluto asks you to step up or step off, there\u2019s a wind of dramatic transformation in your midst. Will you rise to the challenge or chicken out? That\u2019s entirely up to you. This internal struggle with facing your fear or staying small may not be something you\u2019re willing to share with those around you, but it\u2019s happening inside, whether you like it or not. Any missed opportunities early in the week will resurface next Sunday when Pluto stations in your home sign. You can do this. You are stronger than you think. But you need to try before you can find out for yourself.<\/p>\n

PISCES AND PISCES RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a fresh start this week with Taurus season ushering in a new age. Along with its not-so-subtle helper Pluto, the key change could feel more discordant than you might like. Still, there\u2019s something to be said for getting on with things \u2013 and get on you will. With Venus and Saturn also connecting in your home sign, you\u2019re focused on relationships, particularly with other women, who are in it for the long haul. Now is not the time to be wasting energy on anyone who isn\u2019t likely to stick around til the final credits. You know who they are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29212,"featured_media":63185,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[260,35],"yoast_head":"\nHoroscopes April 28-May 4: Don\u2019t Be Afraid To Cut The Cord<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Horoscopes for the week of April 28-May 4 are here.
