Find another way to look at things. You will be surprised at the results
Life is a palette of colours, the colours you choose each day paint your landscape

TA**US
Sceptic or believer, do you find it shifts back and forth depending on the person or information?
The familiar makes you feel good

GEMINI
Taking stock of where you are at in life and honestly you can't say you are happy. Things need to change and some of those are going to be big. Don't be afraid to take the plunge
Where are you in excess and what can you afford to lose?

CANCER
Feeling kind of flat when you know you shouldn't be
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water

LEO
You can go deeper than you believe you can at this point
There is a beginning and an end

A sense of putting the blame on someone and then finding out it was your own mistake
Don't over complicate by deep explanation

LIBRA
Things are calming down for you ever so slightly
You are here to overcome a lot.

SCORPIO
The want to jump ahead when there is really no need to
What lense are you choosing to look through?

Speak up a little louder, your voice is getting lost in the crowd
Childhood feelings are coming through making you uncomfortable

CAPRICORN
I just knew, that's all I can say
If you run overtime then perhaps the extra time is required

AQUARIUS
Does everything really have to go into a category? Can't something be left on it's own for now?
What's going on for you?

PISCES
Regardless of what you have you tend to want the opposite
A constant learner, but are you applying what you are learning?

CARD OF THE WEEK

Love Letters
Give yourself permission to remember what you are good at as the first step in realising your life purpose
Even as small innocent children, we know what we are good at. So much so that we practice what we are good at without thought or ego.
Remembering who we are and what we are good at offers us freedom to breathe, to heal and to grow

Realising the lessons that have remained hidden in the experiences that have hampered our sense of self worth since childhood is like lighting a candle, the clarity they afford banishes any trace of self doubt, like a beam of light cutting through a dark, night sky

Realising that we agreed to everything we have ever experienced in life before being born and that nothing has happened by accident since our birth, is both surprising and enlightening. Without those life lessons we would have little to fall back on as experience. Experience is the root of all wisdom , so if it weren't for all your life experiences you would have little if nothing to offer those that come seeking your advice and guidance.xx

INTERACTIVE REVEAL

Which Easter item did you choose?

WREATH
Your emotional awareness is not a weakness but a true source of strength. Every time you acknowledge, trust, and don’t question or over analyse it, your intuition, you build your strength and extra-sensory powers. Your ability to pick up on subtle energies and emotions that others overlook is a gift. If you find yourself teetering on the edge of second-guessing your inner wisdom, lean into what you feel and don’t get into your head. Find some quiet space and time today, even if it’s for a few minutes, and let your intuition speak to you and help you make choices that are aligned with you.

BUNNY
Your strength lies in what you genuinely care about. What you love gives you energy and the courage to keep going, even when things feel uncertain. Instead of pushing yourself out of a sense of obligation, soften into what feels aligned and meaningful. Let love guide your actions. There is bravery in choosing joy, in honoring what lights you up. The more you lean into what you love, the stronger and more fulfilled you become

How does your message feel for you?xx

WHY SHOWERING AT NIGHT IS SPIRITUALLY IMPORTANT

Water clears more than the body. Throughout the day you absorb more than you notice. Other peoples emotions, stress, expectations, noise. Your body holds in everything when your mind moves on. In many spiritual traditions, water is seen as a carrier and a cleanser. It helps release emotional and energetic residue that does not belong to you.

Morning showers prepare you for the world. Night showers release the world from you. Showering at night closes the energetic loop of the day before your mind enters sleep. Warm water signals safety to the body and the body finally lets go. Sleep is a receptive state. Cleansing before bed helps prevent carrying other peoples energy into your dreams and subconscious. A night shower is a ritual of completion. What was not mine I return. What remains is me.

Cleansing at night is more than a habit. It is a quiet ceremony of coming back to yourself.

All day long you move through conversations, responsibilities, expectations and invisible emotional exchanges. You carry tones in people’s voices, unspoken tensions, subtle pressures and even the moods of rooms you walked through. Most of it goes unnoticed. Your mind keeps moving forward, but your body keeps holding on.

Warm water becomes a gentle signal of safety. Your breathing slows without effort. Your muscles soften their guard. The noise that felt normal throughout the day begins to fade. In that stillness you are given a simple choice. Release what was never yours to carry. Let stress return to the air it came from. Let other people’s emotions flow back into the current of life. Keep only what is truly you.

Night cleansing closes the energetic circle of the day. It creates a clear boundary between who you are and what you experienced. Instead of entering sleep weighed down by unfinished feelings and borrowed energy, you step into rest lighter and more whole. Your dreams become your own. Your subconscious receives only what belongs to your spirit.

The April Full Moon is traditionally known as the Paschal Moon and helps determine the date of Easter

This Full Moon will allow you to see, not just with your physical eyes but with intuition, insight, new perspectives and through the soul. You will be able to see what has been there all along that you have missed, ignored, all hidden in plain sight.

Libra focuses on relationships, not just romantic ones but family, friends, work, acquaintances and
-Your relationship to your time
-Your relationship to your energy
-Your relationship to your own needs

Libra is ruled by Venus, which sharpens awareness around pleasure, value, and reciprocity. It’s about whether something actually feels good to you anymore.
And if it doesn’t, it becomes increasingly difficult to ignore.

If you would like a Full Moon in Libra reading it will bring through what your soul wants you to know now, what is being illuminated and what wants to move out. To book your AUD$25 email reading click the linkhttps://paypal.me/theessencewithin?locale.x=en_AU&country.x=AU

WEEKLY STAR SIGNS APRIL 1 - 7 2026

ARIES
Life isn't a race but you are still trying to win it. Try enjoying it instead.
The push pull dynamic you are living is not serving you. You are either in or out.

TA**US
You have to be flexible to flow otherwise restriction will hold you back.
If you have those vulnerable conversations they will be productive

GEMINI
Consistency matters more than promises you may not be able to live up to
Emotions are on the edge of taking you hostage. Only you can release yourself

CANCER
What is good for one is not always good for all.
At this time you will find yourself sensitive to energy shifts so go with what your body wants.

LEO
Tensions will heighten but don't take it personally it is just the situation.
Partnerships will be put to the test but if you can ride the storm the waters will clear

VIRGO
Things don't have to be perfect to be good.
Don't overthink every word you say or hear

LIBRA
Be real over trying to meet demands
You have found yourself at the stage you don't even know who you are anymore

SCORPIO
Sit with uncertainty instead of trying to control it. It will give you a different perspective
Trust is a choice, one that you have decided is not good for you

SAGITTARIUS
The right people in your life create the freedom you are wanting not the restriction you feel
Do what makes your life richer instead of running from it

CAPRICORN
Instead of having your mind always switched on try just being present. It brings a different feeling and mood to the day and the moment
By letting your walls down and letting those close to you see your fears and imperfections you will feel more connected

AQUARIUS
Putting emotional distance between those you love and what you love protects your heart or so you believe. It also gets in the way of what you want most
Isolation and pretending to be happy with it, you are only kidding yourself. It is not independence like you believe

PISCES
This could be a hard hitting week of reality facts and figures
Don't fall in love with a fantasy version of what you want if it isn't rooted in a solid base

CARD OF THE WEEK

Broken Heart
This card shows a heart broken open, revealing darkness, emptiness and a grief filled tear. The hurt maybe from long ago, or it maybe the pain from more recent event. Either way, a deep healing is called for now.

Vent your feelings and release the person or situation involved. Affirm that you are reclaiming your power and peace of mind. Open your heart to the light of Divine love and healing, and have compassion for yourself through this difficult process. Make self care a priority now. As you let go of old experiences, you can open your heart to the true and abiding love that you so rightly deserve.
