Take time for yourself, escape from your obligations, and give your mind, body, and spirit a break from your everyday routine, worries, and concerns. Get lost in your fantasies, make and enjoy art. This is a powerful new moon for exploring your spirituality, connecting with your inner voice, and doing some self-exploration. An important realization or perspective that you’d never considered may arise on April 2 as the sun and Mercury meet in Aries. A secret might be shared!

Your ruling planet Venus enters Pisces on April 5, which bodes well for your social life!
