Well, stargazers, there’s no denying that things have been difficult and strange as of late. But here we are. If you’ve been glued to the news or your social feeds, you’re probably experiencing some serious emotional fatigue. It may feel like there isn’t much good news to be had in the world.
But it may be comforting to know that for thousands of years, stargazers experiencing difficult circumstances have turned to the Zodiac not just for answers, but to also check in with themselves spiritually and emotionally.
While it may feel nearly impossible to find your center this month, remember that there are peaceful moments to be found in the strangest of times and the strangest of places. Look up and spark up, Zodiacs. Things will turn around. April 2020 should be a strictly celebratory occasion because it’s 420 all month long.
