April Tarotscopes ~ 2021
Are you enjoying the waning Moon, Spring cleaning vibes happening right now? Setting the vibes for this was very relaxing + therapeutic. I opened the windows to air out my office + lit some incense. My altar candles are burning, and the cards are shuffled. Here we go!
Aries season has really lit a fire under many people’s bums, and you might’ve noticed conversations are a bit short, edgy, even argumentative and probably rather high speed. Like being over-caffeinated, but honestly, who isn’t? As the warmer weather rolls in, you’ll feel the world around you thawing out and coming back to life.
Green and yellow surround us while the fire within burns hot and bright. Use this energy to get outside and work up a sweat doing something active. Turn the fire energy into creative flow and revel in your favorite hobby or a creative venture. Feeling frisky? Yeah, that’s also a side effect of Spring Fever. 😉
Soon, Taurus season will set in with a nap and some fancy snacks. Plan on packing a picnic and watching the clouds once those April showers start to give way to more flowers. Walk around barefoot, paint yourself with mud, plant seeds, forage for plant medicines, smell the air after the rain and enjoy all the grounding vibes you can get after the hardcore high energy of Aries season has mellowed out.
It’s a good way to start a new quarter and kick off Spring, but fire seasons tend to trigger burnout if you haven’t been pacing yourself or making time for a balanced transition using water to keep cool. Let it be easy…
Ok! Now what you’ve been waiting for—scroll down to see what the cards have in store for you. Remember to read for your Sun, Moon and Rising signs for a well rounded outlook on the month ahead. If you need help figuring out your signs, feel free to reach out by emailing Nicole@quartzandcoal.co.
ARIES ~ SEVEN of WANDS
Dang, Aries! Did you change your name to Butter, because you’re on a roll right now. (Don’t mock my dad jokes.) Lately, you’ve been a little extra edgy, standing up for the things you believe in and throwing yourself on the grenades being tossed around like parade candy. Check in with yourself to make sure you draw a line somewhere so you don’t go overboard. Watch your step. Some of the ground you stand up for your beliefs on have landmines underneath. Don’t go self destructing for a cause. You’re smart enough to find a more cunning way to combat your enemies. It’s your season, after all. Show them you are more than capable at beating them at their own game. Every once in a while, it doesn’t hurt to try and examine things from another person’s point of view, or as closely as you can imagine without walking in their shoes. Being passionate about something doesn’t have to mean being loud. Oh, and happy birthday!
TAURUS ~ SEVEN of SWORDS
It’s almost Taurus season, and it kinda feels like everyone is coming for you. Don’t worry, that’s just the humidity from Aries burning off the lingering puddles from Pisces season. Your grounding vibes will quickly calm everyone down, and those stimmy checks and tax refunds will leave you feeling yourself soon enough. Watch yourself, and make sure you don’t go lending that money to anyone you know won’t pay you back. These 7 blades might feel like being stabbed in the back by conniving people you thought you could trust. You remember what happened to Caesar. Do your research because the Ides of March are actually a good time. Settle your debts + invest that fun money wisely or you’ll probably regret it sooner than later.
GEMINI ~ PAGE of PENTACLES
Oh my, Gemini! You’re on a hot streak this month. You’re aligned for that new job, a big promotion or that incredible dream client you’ve been drooling over is finally ready to commit and say yes to your offer! SCORE!!! You just successfully manifested your fate with a little bit of day dreaming and a lot of effort. Don’t stop just because your wish came true. Keep chasing your ambitions and more good things will come flooding in. It’ll be time to celebrate you before you know it. Won’t it feel even better to know you did all this work before hand so you can enjoy a break without feeling guilty? Beef up your vision board. Get ready to set some serious intentions and keep your eyes on the sky next time you’re out walking the dog at night. Wishing on shooting stars is always in season. Shine bright like a diamond! You’re already a Gem… *wink*
CANCER ~ QUEEN of PENTACLES
Well, well, well. If it isn’t Miss I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T rollin’ up like they have secured the bag. The Easter Bunny is green with envy about the nice nest egg you’re protecting this month. Enjoy the financial stability perfectly aligned with Taurus season. You filed your taxes early, so you’re not stressed and now your Future Self is enjoying the benefits. Tell your old self thank you and keep paying it forward. Celebrate with a sensible, but abundant meal with your friends or family. Keep planting seeds so your Future Self can keep enjoying the rewards of your practical decision making skills. Wisdom is learned and a legacy and generational wealth is earned. Keep saving those pennies for a rainy day. Like they say, “April showers bring May flowers.” Make it rain, Cancer!
LEO ~ QUEEN of CUPS
Have you been sippin’ on some Love Potion #9, or is this your Spring Fever lewk? Your big heart feels like it might just explode from all the emotional good vibes radiating from your chest this month. You love the fiery, Aries energy and those lavish Taurus vibes really gets your blood pumping. You like to shower people with gifts to show you care, but how about investing in something even more special like a memorable experience or something you can enjoy for years to come like your dream car or a new place to call home? Nothing says I love you like shiny, jingly keys! Doesn’t matter if they’re for an Airbnb, a new ride or a new house, does it? Maybe you should buy a boat (LOLz) That’ll be even more fun when it’s your birthday. No matter how you decide to spend your Stimulus Money or your Spring Break, make the most of it by continuing to be your compassionate, kind, caring self and show your empathy for those who are struggling to find something to smile about right now. You have a way of cheering people up! It’s your love language, and you know you love it, too.
VIRGO ~ KNIGHT of SWORDS
Be on the look out for an opportunity to swoop in and be the hero. Don’t wait for someone else to jump in. Get in there post haste and show them how resourceful and resilient you are, Virgo. You have a special way of taking shape of the container you find yourself in, and this trait will serve you well this month, especially in those familiar, earthy Taurus vibes. Be bold. Be brave. Do things outside your comfort zone without doubting your intuition. You’ve done the due diligence to prepare for practically anything. Go ahead—save the day!
LIBRA ~ QUEEN of WANDS
Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Cut to the chase. It’s you. That Aries glow suits you and the Taurus vibes will be shining a spotlight on your inner strength and ability to take care of yourself and your loved ones while making it all look easy. How do you do it, Libra? Such poise, such grace! You really are something to behold this month. If you’re feeling like this isn’t really hitting the mark, why don’t you take a page out of the Book of Taurus and take a nap or 2 this month. Some beauty rest never hurts, even if you’ve been getting plenty of Z’s. If Aries season is wearing you out, run a nice, relaxing bath and balance out that energy. Resting Witch Face looks good on you, Boo. *kissy face*
SCORPIO ~ KNIGHT of CUPS
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you hand picked this card yourself. You little charmer. You’re always slidin’ into those DMs, creating opportunities to collaborate. I’ll leave that open to your own interpretation. Don’t act coy now. You know you’re the water sign that’s often mistaken for a fire sign because of your fierceness. Use those flirtatious—dare I call them deviant—emotional, communication skills to take care of business. Also, not going to definitively label that one. The ball is in your court, Scorpio. Go big, or go home. There’s no place like home. 😈
SAGITTARIUS ~ FOUR of PENTACLES
Is that spare change jingling in your pocket burning a hole in there, or are you just enjoying the sound of the high notes before you hear the beat drop as they fall into your piggy bank at home later? Sag, I’m proud of you! You’ve been puttin’ in WERK. You’ve been pinching those pennies, stashing your cash and saving up for a secure future. You might not always be able to keep your purse strings tied tight—especially in a book store or whenever those Spring Break Getaway ads start popping up. Maybe it’s time to delete your cookies, and fine tune your spending and saving accounts. Go ahead and opt-in on that round up to the next dollar saving account they’re offering at the bank. Set aside a chunk in one of those holiday accounts—even if your just use it to buy yourself birthday presents. Regardless, now is the time to stay steadfast with that budget and consider increasing your car + home insurance to make sure your possessions are safe. If you rent, get renters insurance. You never know what might happen in the upstairs neighbor’s bathroom.
CAPRICORN ~ KNIGHT of WANDS
I know you don’t need these Tarotscopes to remind you how determined you are, but this card wanted to make sure you remember who the fuck you are and who the fuck they’re dealing with. You are feeling a bit nimbly, bimbly right now. Whether you’re literally or figuratively scaling mountains right now, you’re diggin’ the vibes, especially once you find your footing in Taurus season. Old reliable earth medicine is your JAM. You’re blazing trails, leaving the trails blazing at work, at home and at the local park. Lace up your running shoes and tell anyone and anything that’s not serving you to kick rocks if they can’t keep up. You’re not one to be tied down once your heart is set on the finish line. You’ll cross it! Pace yourself, stay hydrated and don’t forget to smile for that photo at the end of this race. You’re going to want to remember how good it felt when this one ends.
AQUARIUS ~ TEN of CUPS
Aquarius, the water bearer, certainly knows how to serve up a cup of comfort. This toast is for you…Raise a glass, or 10 this month to the battles you’ve faced and overcome in the last year. Cheers to the milestones, the goals you’ve managed to accomplish and the lives you’ve positively impacted. Here’s to you, and all you do to bring a sense of harmony, peace, love and joy to the world…one crazy conspiracy at a time. Jk! This is not a roast. Let us celebrate you and thank you for having everyone’s back and being down to have a good time regardless. May you never miss a Zoom Happy Hour. May you always stay hydrated so you never have to complain about a headache. And may these cups runneth over with blessings and happy surprises. I hope you enjoy some peaceful, zen-tastic night caps and fresh morning brews all month long. ¡Salud!
PISCES ~ NINE of PENTACLES
A stitch in time, saves 9. Speaking of savings, Pisces, you’ve got plenty to sock away this month. It’s time to let someone know you don’t need their help anymore as you move into this new phase of your life. You’re sitting at the grown up table, and you’re actually very satisfied about it. Usually you get a little misty and nostalgic about that stuff, but you can still hang out and play with the kiddo’s for dessert. Have fun hiding eggs and creating a magical experience, even if you’re the only one who will be playing finders keepers or eating fancy deviled eggs for a week. Remember not to put all your eggs in one basket, though. You’ll be very satisfied with the diversity of your investments if you spread the love around and make sure there’s a little bit in each basket instead. There’s plenty to go around.
Thank you so much for reading + sharing these on social media. I look forward to creating these, and I have so much fun writing them each month! I had the most beautiful vision of seeing them published in a magazine while I was writing them today. If you know anyone who can make this happen, I’d be eternally grateful for the referral. 😘 If you’d like to make a donation for your Tarotscopes my Venmo is @QUARTZandCOAL.
