TAURUS (Apr.
21-May 20)
Be cautious about any new obligations that may be presenting themselves. On another level you may have the chance to begin to alter certain aspects, when it comes to commitments that cannot be fully dropped, to a stage where you free yourself up to some degree. It may take some persistence on your part up to late April to fully succeed.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
There could be some significant surprises when it comes to other people, which have an unpredictable and perhaps exciting element to it. Be especially aware when it comes to new people. Knowing anybody’s true intentions could be difficult to fathom. New, stable future opportunities can begin to develop now but patience is required to your birthday.
GEMINI
(May 21
-June 20)
Financial commitments may now need to take priority. You could feel some sort of freedom you have become used to needs to be curbed, though in many cases it simply means going back to ways in which you have had to handle things before. You could now take a more serious approach to the practical things that are important in life.
VIRGO
(August 23-Sept.22)
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
You could suddenly realise it is time to get serious about the manner in which you want to structure things in life, which could include home and family matters. The independence, rebelliousness or excitement connected to others and how this could impact what you now begin to realise you will need to take responsibility for on a regular basis should get you thinking.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
The Solar Eclipse this week occurs in your sign providing with the opportunity to see what has changed since 2019 and perhaps any aspects of that which might be better dropped by late April. With Pluto in your sign for the next 19 years you will need to be in control of your circumstances and now could be a first step towards exactly that, so that you can enjoy life more so.
You have now entered major cycles where the expectations of others could be draining and demanding. This can be a huge test to your natural tendency to be of service to other people. You have to learn to only do as much as you can manage for your own well being. You could suddenly realise this now and during the next few weeks. Don’t put your own priorities to one side.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)
You may need to cope as best you can at the moment when it comes to the expectations of others, especially if you are attempting to get some sort of order in place. It may be hard work to introduce something new or to be innovative. Don’t give up though because a lot of what may not seem to be accepted or responded to now could change dramatically from late April to late June.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
There is a lot building up behind the scenes that could place you in a situation of having to make some unexpected decisions or where there could be the need for you to find out more information. Be careful right now of making decisions on the spur of the moment that have some sort of increase attached. Saturn has now moved out of your sign where it has been since 2023. It won’t be back for 30 years but will now require some practicality with your finances to April 2028.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Any situation that you personally felt optimistic about where the future is concerned could come up with mixed messages at the moment. Hold back on any tendency to be too generous of yourself and your time. Any new commitments may not be as they are presented and for this reason you should take a wait and see attitude so that you can see what surfaces later.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22)
Relationships, which can include work, business or personal will come under greater focus for many years. There was some experience of this from March to October last year but now these cycles have settled for the long term. Get others to make themselves clear and be cautious of taking on too many commitments to mid year. From late April exciting future opportunities could begin to emerge.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan.19)
A significant long term new foundation will now begin to establish itself in your life. There was an initial experience of this from March to October last year but now it is here to stay. You could have less free time than you have been used to, from late April onwards requiring you to become more innovative when it comes to the things you need to manage on a regular basis. .
ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
Saturn has now moved back into your sign to stay there until April 2028. This is a new 30 year cycle that began last year from late May to September. Saturn is linking exactly with Neptune in your sign this week, which is a once in a lifetime occurrence. This could relate to a major turning point in your life that breaks down some sort of limitation in some way, though you can’t escape responsibilities.
Acupressure
Many of us are familiar with the concept of acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) A involving thin needles, which are inserted into various points on your body to treat or prevent illness. But what about acupressure?
While acupressure targets similar spots on your body, it doesn’t involve needles. Rather, acupressure is a type of massage that you can do on your own and you may have already done so without realizing it!
Both acupuncture and acupressure rely on stimulating hundreds of “acupoints” along what’s known in TCM as your body’s 14 meridians or energy-carrying channels. The theory is that these points can be targeted to help relieve stress and anxiety, allergies, nausea and more.
“Acupuncture is more effective and long-lasting,” clarifies licensed acupuncturist Megan Scott, LAC. “However, I often teach people acupressure to help them self-treat at home between appointments. Different symptoms may be relieved by placing pressure on different areas of your body. It’s safe, easy and effective.”
Scott breaks down the different kinds of pressure points for us and explains how to use them to find relief.
How acupressure works
There’s still much to understand about how acupuncture and acupressure work, but there’s also good scientific evidence that these ancient techniques do work.
According to TCM, your body has a series of meridians, which you can think of as invisible highways. The theory is that energy, also called “Qi” (pronounced “chee”), flows along these highways. And when they get blocked, it can be like a traffic jam.
The idea behind acupressure is that pressing on these “acupoints” can help clear the traffic jam, letting your energy flow smoothly again.
Scott says that the most common way to administer acupressure is using your fingers, especially your thumbs. “You’re just using your fingers to apply steady pressure into a selected point,” she explains.
Possible benefits of acupressure
Acupressure is used both to soothe physical symptoms and to calm the mind. While research on the effectiveness of acupressure is still ongoing, Scott highlights how this practice (if done safely) can be beneficial for your health.
“It makes people feel like they are taking control of their own health. It feels good to know that you’re doing something that will ease your symptoms,” she notes.
Acupressure can be used to relieve symptoms from:
Congestion and allergies. If you have allergies or sinus problems, you know it can feel like your head is filled with water. “Locally stimulating these points can allow for decongestion, decreased pain and support healthy eyes and nasal passages,” Scott says.
Stress and anxiety. Acupressure is often used to relieve stress and anxiety. Specifically, applying pressure to points on your wrist, forehead and sternum can help create a sense of calm. It can be used as part of a meditative practice to help calm your nervous system.
Digestive issues. Stimulating specific acupoints may help with issues like constipation, gas or bloating. A 2024 review laid out the positive effects of acupressure on people with gastrointestinal disorders. But it should be noted that the length of the treatment and effectiveness can vary from person to person.
Sleep problems. Specific acupressure points may help with calming your mind before bed. A 2021 randomized trial found that breast cancer patients experienced some improvements in their sleep quality after being given a combination of acupuncture and acupressure, along with their regular treatment.
