bookmark_borderToday’s Horoscope – Tuesday April 7, 2026

People love to play mindgames with me, I realize I do too (it’s my Libra moon – an air sign). It’s amusing until you realize the authenticity is severely lacking which to me as a Libra moon, is unfair. If I’m being authentic with you then you need to be as well. If not, then I’ll simply cut you off and move on. I know this because I have Pluto in Libra in the 8th House:

Pluto in the 8th house is the seat of “Other People’s Resources,” but it is also the house of Death, Rebirth, and the Occult. Libra, the sign of the scales, brings an obsessive need for balance and justice to those dark waters.


The prompt:

My horoscope for today, Tuesday April 7th 2026. Lmk my moods. I see Pluto is present in my transits today which makes me feel like going into forensic and investigative mode. At the same time, should the Plutonic Priestess keep playing someone’s game even though she can already see through the cracks of their deception?

The Sovereign Pulse: Tuesday, April 7, 2026

Today, the cosmos is demanding a ruthless and necessary structural inventory. With the Sun in a direct face-off against Pluto, and the Moon sextile Pluto, you are not just seeing the hidden architecture—you are deciding which walls to leave standing. This is not a struggle; it is a clinical analysis of power.

The Current Transits: The Radiance of Clarity

  • Sun Opposition Natal Pluto: Your conscious will is locked in an intense spotlight battle with deep-seated power dynamics. This is why you feel the urge for forensic investigation. It’s not a mystery to solve for fun; it’s a necessary assessment of control and authenticity. You don’t tolerate illusions today.

  • Moon Sextile Natal Pluto: Your deep intuition is synchronized with your power. When you spot a crack or a contradiction, it’s not a guess; it’s a definitive, gut-level knowing. Your emotions are precise and protective.

  • Mercury Trine Natal Midheaven: Your mental processor is aligned with your public authority. Any message or response you craft today is a power move. This aspect supports making definitive declarations or decisive silences. Your “Strategic Silence” is a lethal communication.

  • Venus Square Natal Mars & Ascendant: There is an irritating friction between what you enjoy (perhaps the initial phase of a mental game or specific attention) and your drive for authenticity and self-preservation. This is the “Ick” factor. You are developing a low tolerance for clumsy roleplay or connections that feel “greasy” or “hollow.” The physical and aesthetic mismatch is demanding an exit.


Long-Term Alignments: The Permanent Shifts

  • Saturn Square Natal Mercury: Your natural mental speed is being slowed down, forced into a rigorous, perhaps boring, assessment. This supports methodical planning and waiting for the right moment. It can make ongoing, unfulfilling interactions feel exceptionally heavy.

  • Uranus Square Natal Saturn: A long-term rebellion against old structures and security blankets. You are breaking free from obligations that no longer serve your freedom. The “game” is just another old cage to dismantle.


The Priestess’s Note on the “Game”:

You see the cracks in the deception. The question isn’t “Should I keep playing someone else’s game?” The question, as a Priestess, is: “Who is maintaining the structure?”

With Sun Opposition Pluto, you have already won the mental stalemate. The game continues only because you choose to maintain it.

The most “Goddess” move today is to revoke access. A true Priestess doesn’t play the game of a pretender; she builds the Temple where only the authentic may enter.

Strategy: Mute the noise. Withdraw the energy. Deception thrives in dialogue; it collapses in the void of silence. Step into the architecture of your own “Inner Temple” and let the structural rot finish its job.

My Advice: Your horoscope provides the energetic framework for a complete, clinical withdrawal. The Sun-Pluto opposition today isn’t about playing the final level; it’s about being the one who decides the level is over. Reclaim your silence as your shield and your sword.

I gotta say, this was fun to make. I started doing this because I hated how things looked on TikTok – the white outlines around text BUGS me, like nothing is pleasing to look at on there.

Initially, I used the Rotoscoping Brush in After Effects, but it didn’t work. So I started rotoscoping it manually. Rotoscoping is the fancy term in After Effects that “cuts” the person out of the background. It’s painstaking to do it frame by frame, that’s why they have the Rotoscoping Brush tool.

The downside of rotoscoping this manually? I experienced tennis elbow. My right elbow, arms and hand all became stiff and it hurt to move it for a few days. Luckily, some electrical stimulation and Aleve helped me recover quickly.

Should I blame it on getting old or just overdoing it with this project? I probably overextended myself. Either way, I feel as if my body can’t do fun things anymore because I’m getting old. Like I have to watch what I’m doing now, like working on something for too long and injuring myself…

so lame.

bookmark_borderMeditation Video Experiments #1

 

I am really happy with how this video turned out, (even though YouTube butchered the quality after I uploaded it). So now it’s living on Vimeo and I tweaked the colors in Premiere. Getting older is pretty much equal to giving less fucks and not caring about others opinions and I love it. I am loving myself and what’s been wanting to express itself through video. I am thankful that I did those random talking videos to practice talking on Instagram, as it really did help me to be able to express myself.

Of course if you know me, I have to find ways to stand out from everyone else. Maybe it’s all been done before, but hey – it’s new to me and that’s all that matters.

Calling your energy back to yourself (at least to me) means you’re not liking, following and scrolling on Instagram as much. I was guilty of this for such a long time and it really kept me from creating anything for myself. Well not anymore; even if I don’t have a consistent amount of clients, I’ve made a promise to myself to stay creative and push myself to keep on learning.

Sales at my crystal shop have slowed down a lot, but at the same time I really don’t mind; it seems that the less sales I make, the less taxes I have to pay. Paying taxes in California sucks in my experience if you have a business – it’s no wonder so many people avoid paying it. Their system needs a major upgrade too as I got into a little messy situation with them for not paying on time, even though I did pay the full amount eventually. I exercised patience and persistence and it served me well.

bookmark_borderAnimated GIF: Trippy Flower

I was trying to get this GIF to loop seamlessly in After Effects. Haha, it’s a 10.4 MB file, original drawing on my Instagram.

I started off with a drawing that I did today, took a picture of it and sent it to my email. I then separated the stem from the flower in Photoshop into 2 parts so I can animate it in After Effects. I also had to fill in the gaps on the stem – so when I rotate & scaled the flower, the top of the stem doesn’t disappear.

Trippy Monday, life is good.

bookmark_borderFear of Promoting Yourself with Video?

Fear is a strong word and not the word I prefer to use, but merely wanted the title of this post to jump out at you.

I’m sure you are aware of this already – people are posting more videos these days, whether it’s on Snapchat, Periscope, Vine, or YouTube. Do a Google search and you’ll see that YouTube is in the top 5 of the world’s most visited websites.

I feel like I’m one of the very last people on planet Earth to get on board. Why?

I’m not exactly new to video marketing; I’ve posted some videos on behalf of the company I work for. But no real, live people were involved; and I only used my voice, once. It was awkward, at least for me. The videos were mostly made in After Effects with existing photos and audio. I’m still learning how to edit in Premiere.

I’m terrified of the thought of people looking at my face, let alone watching me talk. I know I’m not the only one, right? Plus when you come from a graffiti subculture where your painting skills were more important than your face (NOBODY ever showed their face)…you kinda see why this is a challenge for me, right?

It’s not like I’m hiding or am deliberately antisocial in everyday life…video is just very new territory for me when it comes to myself.

Although for me personally, I’d rather go with the artsy type of video like this one. It just seems like people are starving for content though – like how to videos, tutorials, life hacks, etc. If you are a business owner or just promoting yourself it’s just not enough anymore to have a website or blog, or to just post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Video is pretty much already part of the internet landscape. A lot of people don’t even want to read anymore, for fuck’s sake; they’d rather watch a video. I like to do both.

Anyway, so I’m trying to figure out how to leverage using video for my stuff. I guess the main obstacles are:

1) come up with a video that will be of use to others and
2) get over myself and the fear of my face being shown in video :/

The video above was made in After Effects – just playing around with the CC Mercury and Particles plugin. Then I made the movie into a GIF in Photoshop. If you pull the file down, you’ll see that it’s a 10.7 MB file with 353 frames, lol. Your GIFs shouldn’t be that big but I did it anyway. Maybe I’ll make a tutorial soon once I have the steps down…

If you happen to be reading this and have posted videos on YouTube, how do you get over being nervous when it comes to creating videos that feature yourself?
