PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY April 14 2025 to April 20 2025 Monday April 14 Family Time Putt???u v??ttuka! It's not only Tamil New Year, other countries in South and Southeast Asia are celebrating the start of their new year too. It's a family time; homes are spring cleaned, fruits and flowers prepared, candles lit, local temples visited, and feasts enjoyed. In the legacy of the Libran Full Moon, and with Venus moving forwards in Pisces, we'll all feel less weighed down by past baggage, and free to move forwards. By celebrating our relationships, we can strengthen bonds of support. Tuesday April 15 Three things in life are important Novelist, Henry James, was born on this day in 1843. He wrote: 'Three things in life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.' With Venus (love) moving forwards in Pisces, the cosmos is powerfully endorsing his message. And with Mercury (communication) soon to arrive in Aries, we can express our intentions with passion. We don't need to be literary geniuses to show how much we care. Today, acts of kindness will be appreciated and reciprocated. Wednesday April 16 The End of Slavery When President Abraham Lincoln signed an act abolishing slavery on this day in 1862, it marked an important step on the long road towards emancipation and compensation for African Americans. As Mercury joins Neptune in fiery Aries, the cosmos encourages us to take ideas we've been unable to realise, and take steps to bring them into reality. Ground-breaking concepts which herald new ways of thinking and being are possible now. Exciting change is in the zeitgeist. Thursday April 17 Time to make plans and get sociable If you're wondering why Easter falls late this year, check out the night sky. The rules which govern the dates of this festival are complicated, but somewhere in the mix there's a rule that says it can't happen until after the first Full Moon following the Equinox. The legacy of the weekend's Full Moon might have diminished, but with Venus (love and pleasure) now in forwards motion in creative Pisces, we'll enjoy being in the company of others. It's time to make plans and get sociable. Friday April 18 Good Friday isn't only a special day in the Christian calendar; since it's a holiday in many parts of the world, it's special for all sorts of reasons. And with power planet Mars returning to passionate Leo, there's lots to get excited, creative, and joyful about. In areas of life where we've been lacking enthusiasm, expect a reboot of energy. This Easter weekend, we can deepen loyalties and strengthen bonds. It's hard to think of a better way of healing and bonding than finding time to share chocolate!
