Your HelloGiggles horoscope, April 15th to 21st: Get the heck out of your comfort zone

Okay, so things are about to get a little cray this week in the stars. First up, Mercury Retrograde ends on the 15th (phew!) just as we enter a new moon in Aries…but then we have Saturn Retrograde beginning on the 17th. Ooooh boy! Things are about to get somewhat intense. But don’t worry, we know what it all means for your weekly horoscope.

Basically, we’re seeing things more clearly than we have in a long time, which could also mean big changes. Change can be scary, but it can also be electrifying, especially if it pushes us out of our comfort zones and allows us to see what’s no longer working in our lives. It’s time to ditch the old and embrace the new, babes. Here’s what the stars have in store for your zodiac sign:

ARIES

You might find yourself encountering some resistance this week, Aries. But you can’t blame this one on Mercury Retrograde — it’s you. You’re in for a major lesson on controlling your temper and transforming your stubbornness into flexibility. When it feels challenging, lean into the “changing.”

TAURUS

It’s time to stop second-guessing yourself, Taurus. With Mercury Retrograde out of our lives (for now), you can expect a time of peace and tranquility, which will give you the courage to try *that* thing you wanted to do but were too scared attempt. No more excuses. Do. It.

GEMINI

You’re feeling super positive this week, Gemini, which is why you don’t mind being a little selfless. You might feel like treating your bestie to a small gift or even throwing a last-minute party “just because.” You’re feeling a need for connection. Follow that feeling and make your needs known.

CANCER

You’re tapped into a new plan of action, Cancer, and now is the time to pull it off. Though it might feel different from what you’re accustomed to, trust your instincts. If you need reinforcements, don’t be afraid to ask for support from your friends and fam. You’re ready for this.

LEO

You’ve been feeling tired and a little lost lately, Leo. But here’s some good news: this week’s New Moon is making you feel more motivated and clear-headed than you have in a long time. If you need an extra pep in your step, treat yourself to a new outfit or pair of shoes to unleash your inner lioness.

VIRGO

We know that you don’t like to promote your hard work and talent, Virgo, but now is *your* time. You’ve been working hard on a particular project or two, and you deserve to step into the spotlight. Don’t shy away from reaching out to VIPs and/or sharing your work — it’s time for you to shine.

LIBRA

It’s time to spring clean your life, Libra, and I don’t mean your clothing. It’s time to determine who deserves to be in your life. Say goodbye to toxic friendships and don’t be afraid to tell that boy, “Bye.” Because when you’re surrounded by love and support, you will truly thrive. And you deserve REAL love, babe.

SCORPIO

Don’t assume anything right now, Scorpio. Things aren’t as clear as they appear — mainly because there’s been a lot of change happening behind the scenes. If something feels off, trust that feeling. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and get clarity. Put your foot down and say something. You deserve the truth.

SAGITTARIUS

You’re feeling bored, Sag, but now is not the time for you to go off on one of your adventures. Instead, focusing on stability and security will serve you well. Tying up loose ends and focusing on the long-term, like opening a savings account and/or breaking off with off-on lovers, can be thrilling. Really!

CAPRICORN

It’s okay to not do anything, Cappy. Sometimes it’s best to just be. You might feel like you’re lagging behind (as you tend to think you are) or that you’re worried about making mistakes, but that’s all in your head. It’s time for you to settle in your body and heart, and TRUST. All is well. Truly.

AQUARIUS

You’re feeling a lot, Aquarius, and it’s time to use your voice. Whether you actually speak your mind or express your emotions through creativity, now is your moment to say all that you’ve been meaning to say for the last three weeks. However, remember: you can’t control the responses of others. But that shouldn’t stop you.

PISCES

Someone needs your advice, Pisces. Maybe it’s a close friend or maybe, quite possibly, it could be yourself. In either case, it’s time to dig deep and be honest with your feelings, but also it’s important to see things from another’s perspective. Awareness and empathy are touchstones of the best advice ever.

This week is definitely stirring up some major breakthroughs. We might not see the fruits of our labor YET but we are so close to seeing our lives transform. The truth will set you free, bbs.
