Set your directions as a new cycle begins
With a near-normal elemental balance in three months, external forces appear to be easing in the week ahead (April 12-April 18).
Turning points are pushing open the door to transformation, making the coming week a likely portal to new beginnings.
What makes this a stronger possibility is the three Aces that got pulled.
With II of Wands appearing twice, the direction towards establishing new beginnings is being set.
Action-oriented energies throw open a window to wisdom and harmony.
What we let in will depend on the choices we make.
The Knights that went missing for two weeks are back on the scene, churning the wheels of momentum, with the most reliable Knight of Pentacles getting pulled thrice.
Change does not necessarily have to be dynamic. It can be slow and steady.
This week the change is coherent, not rushed.
Saturnian influences that prevailed for six weeks, have eased.
Jupiter and Venus lend an intellectual charm, but Mars could likely cause minor disorder if the energy isn’t well channelled.
With numbers 1, 2 & 9 appearing five times each in the cards that got pulled, old cycles are likely to reach completion, paving the way for balance to return.
However, with the missing number 7, the week could be devoid of spiritual depth and mysticism.
The rational mind rules over developments. This could make it difficult to understand the deeper, unconscious aspects of life.
Stability, creativity, individual self-expression and collective idealism could also be missing.

[Unlike other columns on zodiac signs, I make efforts every week to bring out decan-specific readings for the twelve Sun signs. Each zodiac sign (30 degrees) is divided into three decans (10 degrees). This makes the reading more focused and accurate. It also provides better cues for the collective whole.
Which decan of the zodiac does your birthday fall in? Given below are the decan-specific tarot card readings for the respective Sun signs.]
