This time brings with it chaos and suffering.  It is highlighting the cracks of what people’s needs are not being met. It is also giving us time to ponder What is Essential?  The first on the list is health, a home over our heads, food on the table and possibly ironic or sad – toilet paper.  Then what is next?  What do you find you need or miss?  Purpose? Community?  Beauty? Nature? These are the things that we as a world-wide society need to start supporting once we are released back into the world.

I hope you all liked the live animal cams with last week’s forecast.  Now back to art and the places they inhabit, museums.  Everyone is doing a list of museums’ virtual tours. They usually include the Smithsonian, The Met, British Museum, Guggenheim, and of course Louvre. And I have even written about virtual museums tours back in May 2016 (go there for some museum history and more fun links). So, this week I have added to each of your forecasts more museums that you may not know or that are off the beaten path.

Again, this is another place for you parents doing home schooling. Some of these sites you can use as writing prompts.  Like for teenagers, the Museum of Broken Relationships have stories attached to the items.  They can write their own story attached to a childhood toy.  Or like the Woman’s Museum has a built-in history lesson for each entry.  And even the free form virtual walking tours you can go through and discuss your impressions and/or deep dive into that painting’s history.  Remember ultimately school is just a place where we learn how to learn.  So, you just showing them how you navigate, question and solve the world is the best lesson they can get.

 

P.S. Remember signs with an * it a big week for you.  Aries this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Libra it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check in now is the time.

May light be on you, around you, and within you,

Aries

*Death – Change is in the air this week if you would just let go of trying to force it to happen. This energy wants you to work with the ebbs and flows of natural cycles.   Though this downturn in energy feels like stagnation, it is actually waiting for you to sort out what you fear will change. Take your hand off the wheel and let the universe drive. Machu Pichu Peru

 

 

Taurus

*Judgement – Again big energy and I know you might be feeling wiped out. All of March was a roller coaster of forces guiding you through your triggers, compassion for the universe and yourself, challenged you to weed to find room for the new, and then asked you to connect deeply with your spirit to gain more information on how to lead by example. And now this week’s energy is about rebirth. Your challenge is to answer what has this past month taught you? What has awakened you to be closer to your calling and the understand of it?

Gemini

*Hanged Man – You are resisting using this time as a moment to gain perspective.  You are percieving this energy delaying you, but it challenges you by asking delaying you from what? This is big energy and has the potential for you to stockpile this inert energy like a pulling back a rubber band. This time is just a pause a place to reset or to reimagine your destiny.  Take this time to gather your strength and gain perspective on where to you want to go after this pause.   The Vatican Rome, Italy

 

 

 

Cancer

Nine of Swords – Last week you were feeling the chaos like energy of the worldwide change.  And you had to wrestle with the idea of not having control over these big outside forces of change.  The forces advised controlling only your small sphere and then allowing the rest to wash over you like a wave. This week you are still grappling with letting go.  Worries still needle you like tiny gnats.  The energy this week advise you to focus on hope instead of hopelessness. Rijks Museum Netherlands

 

 

Leo

Six of Coins – Last week you needed to heed and hone your inner voice.  Looking for the hidden truths, the synchronicities and cycles.  Your discoveries have you feeling as if you do not have enough resources to deal with this week’s energy.  However, if you put selfcare first, you don’t have to be stingy with the rest of your energy.  So, heed the phrase put the air-mask on yourself first before helping others with theirs.  But keep in mind they do need help and you can expend yours.

Virgo

Ace of Coins – The energy of grounded beginnings is rumbling under you.  This is a great week to start a new project. Do not loss this opportunity even though you may be staying at home.  All seeds are started in the dark.  This is a time to water some ideas and see what sprouts in the coming weeks. MASP Sao Paulo Brazil

 

 

 

 

Libra

Messenger – There are messages all around you this week.  Your spirit guides are in your midst, protecting and divining to you what is and isn’t important. You will get some straightforward clues but also look for hidden meanings in synchronicities.  Women’s history Museum Washington DC USA

 

 

Scorpio

Nine of Coins – This week energy is about abundance and finding ways to reward yourself and others.  However, luxuries have a new meaning at this time.  What were you taking for grant that now this week has become a luxury? And how can you share and enjoy them with yourself and others? Museum Picasso Barcelona Spain

 

 

Sagittarius

Four of Cups – The energy this week continues your need for mediation. Where last week you needed to pull away from the everyday to gain perspective, this week you will need to occasionally look to your outer sphere to gain a fuller picture.  Try to divide your time in to ¾ introvertive behavior and the last 1/4 as an extrovert.  The Museum of Broken Relationships Los Angles USA

 

 

Capricorn

Three of Coins – Relationships and creation are again the resonating energy this week.  However where last week your investigation where in the notions of contentment and choice respectively.  Putting energy into relationships that bring serenity and envisaging the implementation of creating is based in choice.  This week there is less contemplation and more active collaboration.  Even if you are stuck inside take time to zoom, skype or face time with others. You need people as bouncing boards and to challenge you to get to the next level, not to mention some playful banter to liven your spirits. Benaki Athens Greece

 

 

 

Aquarius

Page of Cups – This week’s energy is about looking for the brighter side of things.  Your sign is the one that inspires humanity and raise us up to the next level.  So, use your curiosity and rose-colored glass envisioning you and us a brighter future. The Courtland Institute of Art  London UK

 

 

 

Pisces

Page of Wands – Pull out your paintbrushes, crayons, pencils, scissors, glue, wood tools and create. The challenge with this creative energy is not about having a goal but about investigating your mediums. This energy is best used in discovery and exploration.  Doing so will bring you closer to a place where movement can happen.  National Palace Museum Taipei City Taiwan
