You may feel a strong urge to speak up, take initiative, or address something that has been building beneath the surface.

Conversations or decisions made around this time can shape future direction, making it important to choose your words and actions carefully.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Thursday April 23rd – Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus - </strong>Unexpected changes may arise in relationships, finances, or personal values.
