Still Standing | Love Notes

April 11-18, 2025

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man’s determination.”

Tommy Lasorda

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: Although it may require concerted effort on your part, a stream of light is illuminating the path you’re determined to walk. However, you may need to reevaluate where you direct attention so that you can make better decisions. The first step involves powerful visualization of the end goal. This enables you to concentrate on the small details that make all the difference. Questioning is also good, as it allows you to look carefully at alternatives that may prove right rather than the old habits, attitudes, or situations that have hampered your progress in the past. Any sense of uncertainty you experience this week is your intuition prodding you toward insights that can guide you to the next steps. Weary though you may be, victory arrives when you start to understand the positive essence of the lessons so that you can change the way you look at matters, and consequently, the outcome.

Be sure to look at your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs for an expanded perspective. You can click any card to enlarge the view.
