Star signs and cannabis strains: March 2024 horoscopes

Welcome to April, Stargazers. As we roll into a new month, let’s light up the cosmic advice and puff, puff, pass through the zodiac amidst a period of intense reflection and sudden breakthroughs, marked by significant cosmic events that will influence all signs of the zodiac. Whether you’re rolling with the retrogrades or just here for the good vibes, your stoned starscape awaits.

As we enter Aries season, the fiery energy of the zodiac’s first astrological sign moves us to action while embracing our individuality; this period offers rich soil for asserting our personal power in new areas of life. However, April’s Mercury Retrograde propels us to slow down, reevaluate (and perhaps rework) our communication strategies, and sit with our thoughts and ideas. It’s a time to review plans rather than pushing forward with new initiatives (because, unfortunately, the stars are not on our side), ensuring that we are fully prepared to move ahead once Mercury goes direct.

The new moon Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 8 brings a powerful opportunity for a fresh start. Eclipses accelerate events and reveal hidden truths, and the timing of this one in the sign of the self and new beginnings all but forces us to set bold, new intentions. It’s a moment to consider what you truly want to manifest in your life: personal desires and the steps needed to achieve them. With the sun’s return comes the courage to embrace new challenges.

Adding to the month’s dynamic energy, Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus brings a wave of unexpected changes and breakthroughs, particularly in the spheres of finances, values, and self-worth. In other words, risks, offering the potential for sudden gains or shifts in perspective that can lead to greater freedom and independence. 

Meanwhile, the full moon in Scorpio illuminates the depths of our emotions and relationships, urging us to release what no longer serves us and deepen our connections with others. Time for transformation and casting off old patterns under Scorpio’s intense and healing energy. April is a month of profound change and personal evolution, inviting us to step into our power and navigate the shifts with courage and insight.
