Your Weekly Horoscope: 4/21-4/27 | Energy Shifts and the End of the Storm (Vedic/Sidereal)
Cosmic Turning Point. All Signs.
Hey Cosmic Explorers,
The reverberations from the Piscean celestial storm that’s been buzzing up our brains since early March finally begin to calm. This week brings in a slow but meaningful shift: Saturn and Venus, the last two planets tangled in the chaos, will cross out of the storm’s eye early in the week and begin moving into calmer territory. For many, this could feel like a subtle exhale. Not a dramatic breakthrough, but a chance to pause, take stock, and begin to gently flow forward.
Mars also exits its draining aspect with Rahu, signaling that it’s finally safe to begin thinking about new plans and rebuild momentum after so much emotional confusion. Jupiter begins transiting from earthy Taurus to airy Gemini this week, stabilizing by mid-May. Energy levels might be on the lower end during the transit. Think slow resets instead of grand launches. Flow with it. Jupiter stations in Gemini May 15th, bringing lightness to our summer season.
Rest into Raga Puriya Dhanashri for this transitional twilight void between phases. We’re no longer in crisis, but we’re still integrating new downloads before emerging late May. A sweet sunset contemplation…
You may feel the desire to clean up, reorient, and cautiously plan your next chapter this week. Mars and Jupiter are shifting, giving you permission to let go of urgency and move with more care and pacing.
Some prompts:
• What has changed within me over the past 6 weeks?

Give yourself grace and space before you begin again. Here’s your weekly, Vedic/Sidereal:
Aries Rising (Western/Tropical: Taurus Rising)
Insight: You're beginning to get your footing again. Emotional overwhelm and instability at home might slowly give way to a sense of control. Romance and creativity may reignite. Health and finances still might be a bit sensitive but the worst is behind you. Distance in relationships may begin to lessen with effort. Professionally, you're completing a long-standing group endeavor, so allow yourself to celebrate that. Networks can feel disconnected but clarity is around the corner.
Guidance: Use this week to integrate everything that’s shifted. Don’t rush.
Contemplation: What is finally releasing its grip on me?
Taurus Rising (Western/Tropical: Gemini Rising)
Insight: You're still carrying stress in your inner world, especially around home and emotional security. Creativity and joy are slowly returning, thankfully. Health and finances might see minor improvements, and introspection remains your superpower. Your career sphere stays tense, but the pressure from colleagues or remote demands may begin to ease. Small wins are possible if you pace yourself.
Guidance: Prioritize rest over productivity; your nervous system needs decompression.
Contemplation: Where is life asking me to pause and listen deeply?
Gemini Rising (Western/Tropical: Cancer Rising)
Insight: The weight is lifting a bit for you. Collaborations and community may start to feel more aligned and your inner world (home, emotional well-being, creativity) may be less chaotic than it’s been in the last 6-8 weeks. Your partner might still be at a distance or feel distant, but this week isn’t about fixing. It’s about noticing and appreciating the positive subtle energetic shifts in your connection. Mentors or bosses may actually need your support, not the other way around. Social connections can feel supportive again.
Guidance: Observe the sweet recalibration without trying to speed anything up.
Contemplation: How is stillness revealing what I couldn’t see before?
Cancer Rising (Western/Tropical: Leo Rising)
Insight: There’s help coming from family or chosen family, especially tied to career frustration. Emotional healing is possible if you’re open to guidance from wise mentors, friends, or older figures. There could be tension between finances and your social life. Your spiritual or meditative access still feels blocked and frustrated, and that’s possibly amplifying feeling blocked everywhere else. Your career is starting to recover, so lean into that quiet progress.
Guidance: Don’t underestimate the small, sacred gestures of support from those that care for you.
Contemplation: Who is helping me feel more whole, even in small ways?
Leo Rising (Western/Tropical: Virgo Rising)
Insight: Energy and confidence are on the upswing, finally. You’re still navigating some emotional pressure but it’s becoming more manageable than in the previous months. Social dynamics with friends and sibling relationships improve, and your romantic and creative life continues to support your larger goals. Partnership distance or strain continues, but mentors or authority figures can feel supportive again. Lean into your purpose.
Guidance: Lean into warmth where it exists! You are not alone.
Contemplation: Where is my creative spark quietly coming back to life?
Virgo Rising (Western/Tropical: Libra Rising)
Insight: Physical and emotional stress are still high, but some relief in family matters arrives later this week. Your inner circle remains a key source of grounding, especially maternal figures. Finances are a bit touchy and spiritual clarity may feel out of reach. Take it slow and lean on what’s stable, even if it’s just your routine.
Guidance: Simplicity is your sanctuary: return to what soothes you.
Contemplation: What ritual brings me back to center?
Libra Rising (Western/Tropical: Scorpio Rising)
Insight: Things might still feel a little tough for you this week. Your body, mind, and creativity all feel under pressure, and social plans could keep hitting blockers. But there’s a faint light: your partner (romantic or business) may be recovering and offering some much-needed care and grounding. Collaborative support from your social circles could help stabilize your initiatives, but health and financial matters might still demand patience and care.
Guidance: Let others hold space for you! You don’t have to carry it all. You are supported.
Contemplation: What would support feel like if I truly allowed it?
Scorpio Rising (Western/Tropical: Sagittarius Rising)
Insight: Support from close relationships and family can offer comfort this week. You might be still feeling tense emotionally and financially, but a mentor could offer just the right kind of guidance. Your career remains under strain, but your networks are beginning to open up. Watch out for lingering tension from remote or digital projects that still carry stress signals.
Guidance: Take one practical step to bring a project or plan back into balance.
Contemplation: What’s one thing I can tidy up, complete, or say goodbye to?
Sagittarius Rising (Western/Tropical: Capricorn Rising)
Insight: The pressure is rising as your ruling planet, Jupiter, begins to shift signs. Energy and health may dip and teamwork or community efforts feel heavy. Romantic and creative blocks remain but mentors are available this week so don’t hesitate to reach out. Your career may offer a small victories, so let that anchor you while you wait out the fog.
Guidance: Stay rooted in what’s working, even if it feels small. Step by step.
Contemplation: What subtle victory is asking to be acknowledged?
Capricorn Rising (Western/Tropical: Aquarius Rising)
Insight: The pressure is real but progress is on the horizon. Family strain begins to lessen, and support from a partner could lift your emotional state. You're beginning to open back up to inner reflection and spiritual tools: use these to ground yourself. Career pressures continue, but a subtle shift arrives by the weekend. Creative and long-distance matters are still off-kilter, so postpone those if you can.
Guidance: Trust your inner clarity more than outside noise.
Contemplation: What is my intuition telling me when I finally get quiet?
Aquarius Rising (Western/Tropical: Pisces Rising)
Insight: The week starts off rough but gets easier. Your health, identity, and work life are slowly stabilizing. Group efforts and sibling dynamics remain difficult, but your partner may offer meaningful support and grounding. Introspection is more available now so tap into that clarity. Bosses or mentors may be overwhelmed but some of their steadiness returns by the weekend. Emotional support from your network is a gift so lean on them and accept it before it fades.
Guidance: Let others see what you need! They want to offer resources.
Contemplation: Who do I trust enough to receive from right now?
Pisces Rising (Western/Tropical: Aries Rising)
Insight: You're slowly emerging from a storm that’s been deeply personal and spiritual. Family confusion begins to clear and financial pressure may ease a little. Your partner is a grounding presence for you, offering steadiness as you recalibrate all of these new spiritual upgrades. Your ability to reflect or meditate is still blocked, but some clarity may come by the end of the week. Your career continues to be a source of light, especially through collaborations.
Guidance: Start to rebuild gently. Rest and don’t rush the return.
Contemplation: What’s one truth I’ve learned from the Piscean storm I just passed through?
This is a week of transition and softening over resolution. Move with intention.
Wishing you peace and contemplation,
Anu
