April 13 through April 19, 2026

Two planetary sign changes and a new Moon will make for an interesting week, as Mercury moves into Aries on Tuesday and the Sun exits Aries for Taurus on Sunday morning. Maintaining a positive and spiritual attitude on Monday and Tuesday will allow us to embrace the watery vibes of the Pisces Moon as it passes overhead. Mercury will enter the sign of Aries on Tuesday, which quickens our thought processes and fills our heads with great ideas! We won’t need to fret if we can’t get to those obligations awaiting us at the start of the week, as there will be plenty of time for that when the Moon marches into Aries and reenergizes us on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday is the day to make a wish and set your new goals as the Aries new Moon sparks a fire within us! A few hours later, the Moon will move into Taurus and have us taking physical action to take those dreams into fruition, which continues on Saturday as well! The Sun will enter Taurus on Sunday, shifting our thoughts to our physical worlds and what we can do to improve them. If you need a few ideas, brainstorm with others under the Gemini Moon!

The Everyday Clairvoyant: What's Your Gift? (And Does It Help You Clean the House?)
by Cyndi Dale

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

I see pictures for a living.

That’s not the same as creating them; I can’t so much as draw a stick figure. Nor is it equivalent to collecting art or hanging photographs or scanning MRIs. It’s a little more, well, complex than that.

I’m a clairvoyant. I see images in my mind that inform me about reality. If you were to ask me what you ate for breakfast, I might watch an entire filmstrip of you in a chef hat being Julia Child or Jean-Luc Albin (okay, he’s a pastry guy, but you might be into croissants.) Based on your kitchen antics, I’d most likely make a pretty good guess at what you whipped up.

Or maybe I’d envision a hen and deduct that you ate eggs. I might even visualize a Starbuck’s drive-through, which suits my idea of haute cuisine. Whatever the case, I perceive images that are literal, descriptive, or metaphorical; from the past, present, or potential future; or appear as shapes, colors, and symbols. From these, I construct and construe answers to various life questions, which provide the fodder for my work as an energy healer, intuitive consultant, and author.

I’ve shared images with more than thirty thousand individuals and countless groups. That’s a lot of pictures—and questions, which preceded my answers. These questions constitute life’s major concerns, which always fall into one of three categories: relationship, destiny (work), and balance (health). See if you can think of something important that doesn’t edge into one or several of these baskets.

Will I ever get married? Do I have a soul mate? Is s/he having an affair? Are affairs always bad? Do I have spiritual guides? Did Atlantis ever exist? What happens during miscarriage? Abortion? How do I deal with an abusive partnership? Are there ghosts? Do animals have souls? You guessed it; these are RELATIONSHIP questions.

What’s my purpose? Is it bad to go bankrupt? Did I ever live before? How might past lives affect my current life? What are my specific spiritual gifts? Why we there so many people on this planet right now? How can I make more money? Will I ever win the lottery? Is peace on earth possible? Here we are in the land of DESTINY.

Why am I sick? Why is there illness on this planet? Can entities cause problems? What are the keys to being healthier? How do I deal with stuck emotions? Bad beliefs? Can I ever really become who I want to be? Here we are in BALANCE.

In my book, >Everyday Clairvoyant: Extraordinary Answers to Finding Love, Destiny, and Balance in Your Life, I share the most burning, typical, and stellar questions I’ve heard, such as the ones listed. I provide a summative response, crafted from twenty-five years in my trade as a clairvoyant. I also talk about what being a clairvoyant means in my “real life,” for that’s where I show up every day: at home, in relationships, going grocery shopping, mothering, and even cleaning the house. I share all of it to underscore one main point:

Even though my profession isn’t listed on IRS forms—or any other, for that matter, I’m no different than you.

What does that mean but that YOU are as “weird” as I AM.

Words like ESP, supernatural, channeling, telepathy, psychic, shamanic, empathic, clairvoyant, and paranormal aren’t only descriptive of “different people,” but of ALL people. We are ALL intuitively gifted. We are ALL amazingly, brilliantly, and sometimes annoyingly, psychic.

We are all born with psychic abilities. “Psychic” simply refers to the ability to gather, decipher, and generate information that moves quicker than the speed of light.

While a lot of people don’t like to admit that they are psychic—or even see a benefit to it— it’s a great thing to be. When moving really fast, you don’t have to obey the traffic cops of the Universe. You can slip through walls, bypassing obstacles. You can enjoy a cup of coffee before it’s even served, which is pretty important if you need an instant shot of caffeine. A thought doesn’t even need to halt at a stop sign the way that sensory, “earth bound” information does. You can receive knowledge from the future, awareness from the past, and make it all work for you right now.

Whether or not we know it, our spirits communicate through psychic activity much more often than through sensory means. It’s just easier. If you know something important is going to happen tomorrow, why not get ready today? If you can disappear a tumor before it happens, why not play doctor right now? If you can “reach out and touch someone” through psychic e-mail versus sensory snail mail, why not go for the time advantage?

Clairvoyance is only one of the many psychic gifts available to us all. When teaching classes, I share that there are eleven major universal gifts and a twelfth that is unique to each person. Each gift is housed in a chakra, an energy center that connects the psychic with the sensory.

I work with a twelve-chakra system, which is described in my book, The Complete Book of Chakra Healing, but I also reference these energy centers and corresponding gifts in Everyday Clairvoyant, for one main reason: the key to enjoying satisfying relationships, living on destiny, and being balanced, is to uncover and embrace your true spiritual gifts.

Which gift is incipient to you? Scan this list, which outlines a couple of ways to label each gift and corresponding chakra, and see if anything pops out:

• First chakra: Physical empathy and manifesting
• Second chakra: Feeling empathy and creativity
• Third chakra: Mental empathy (clairsentience) and administrative ability
• Fourth chakra: Relational empathy and healing
• Fifth chakra: Verbal empathy (clairaudience, channeling, telepathy) and communicating
• Sixth chakra: Clairvoyance, visioning, strategizing
• Seventh chakra: Spiritual empathy and prophecy
• Eighth chakra: Shamanism
• Ninth chakra: Soul empathy and harmonizing (representing world causes)
• Tenth chakra: Nature empathy and sensitivity to the environment
• Eleventh chakra: Force sympathy and leadership
• Twelfth chakra: Unique to you

Know that whatever gifts you have, they aren’t to be used in a vacuum or “solo.” Our strongest gifts—each and every one of them—support our destiny or spiritual purpose. You could say, “They help us help others.” Besides being a clairvoyant, I am also a communicator. I therefore combine my sixth chakra clairvoyance with a fifth chakra communication skill in order to teach and write about my vision for the world.

Our gifts also impact our relationships. Being both visual and verbal, I relate to others these ways. I notice how someone wears a hat, eats a sandwich, moves his or her head. I respond to what I perceive. And I talk. A lot. Not for me, the strong, silent type. I’d be bored silly.

As well, our chakras and corresponding gifts affect our health. Each chakra is based in a bodily locale and connects to our physical self through a specific endocrine gland. As a fifth and sixth chakra person, I have to nourish the glands associated with these chakras: the thyroid and pituitary glands. If I don’t, I’ll get sick. I also participate in fifth and sixth chakra activities in order to burn off stress. For instance, movies are a great sixth chakra escape. Know what works for a fifth chakra person? Talking is a good start. (The problem is it’s hard to combine these two without getting kicked out of a theatre.)

In the end, we can’t separate ourselves from our gifts. The “paranormal” isn’t something outside of ourselves. We are “para” or beyond “normal” ALL the time. I might sit in a chair all day and see pictures for a living. But I also interweave my abilities—my psychic self—into and through everything about me.

Even my mothering.

My friends can testify to the fact that my youngest son would never have survived childhood if I didn’t have “eyes in the back of my head.” I think back to a remark made by a friend of mine after I’d been on the phone with her for a while.

“Did you know that you saved Gabe’s life three times in the last few minutes?” She asked.

I pondered the question. I hadn’t even seen Gabe for a while, although I did remember punctuating the house with a few “marching orders” called out to him, sight unseen.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“Well, first you told him to stop tying the dog’s tail onto the curtain rod, which could have fallen off and beamed him. Then you kept him from playing Spiderman on the wall over the glass tabletop with all the sharp edges. Lastly you made sure he didn’t turn the bathtub into a swimming pool and nosedive in.”

I did do all that—from a different room, unconsciously tapping into my clairvoyance.

Having mastered the fine art of psychic mothering, I’ve set myself the goal of psychic housecleaning. Wouldn’t it be grand, to imagine the house picked up and have it so? To envision the dogs’ food bowls full, the guinea pig’s cage scrubbed out, the cat litter changed, and presto?

I’ll work on it and let you know when I’ve figured it out. Maybe I’ll even invent a computer with psychic command functions or kitchen appliances that make the bread and bake it with a single thought. And perhaps I’ll visualize something even more grand, like peace on earth. Because if I know anything, I know this:

Underneath it all, we are spirits, embodied so as to engage the everyday world toward a single, vital goal: We are here to create more love on this planet.

And we have the gifts to do it.

This past December, I was dreaming that I was hanging out with my father. I think we were bowling or something, but I know we were happy. I woke up mid dream to my mom calling me to tell me that the paramedics were on the way. My father had died at the same time I was dreaming of him. I've been having such a hard time dealing with his death, as we were very close. Is it possible that he contacted me somehow in my dreams? Is the dream state linked with the afterlife? If so, what is this connection? Thanks!

Astrea:

When speaking to a dear friend after my Daddy died, I said, Daddy hasn't called yet. She matter-of-factly answered, Oh, it took my Dad almost a year to call the first time. What a help it was for me to hear that!

Before my Daddy died, he came to me in a dream and said, I'm dying, you know. By that time, he was living here in my house, so I ran and woke him up and said, Oh, Daddy, I just had the WORST dream. He said, I know, I had it too.

We then embarked on a great new adventure: arranging ways we would know we were together until we could be together again on the same plane. We arranged signs for after he passed away so I would know he was all right. Since then, my son and I have been able to do that too.

For everyone who hasn't done this yet, there's no time like the present. You don't have to dwell on the fact that one of you will pass away before the other, but it is a great relief to see the signs you set up even twenty years before.

Daddy rings a bell. I'm not the only one who hears it, thank goodness, so I don't worry about the men in white coats coming for me. I also find dimes ñ at least one a day ñ and I know he's put them there.

Your Daddy's Spirit absolutely came to you in your dream that night before he died. Your connection to him was deep and strong, and he wanted to be sure he could keep it no matter where he was when he died.

Since no one can tell us for sure where our loved ones are after they leave the Earth Plane, we have to rely on them to show up so we know how they're doing and that they are still looking out for us. A love as strong as the love you and your Daddy shared can't be denied by the Universe, so contact is sure to be made over and over again until at last you are reunited.

Don't be upset if you don't see him in your dreams again soon. Usually it takes us about a year to get into a state where we can see our departed loved ones again. That is true on both your side and your Daddy's: He isn't strong enough in his spiritual form to make contact yet, and you're not strong enough in your heart to see him.

Losing the parent we have been closest to is the worst. When they come to us in dreams or in a trance state, all we have is the comfort of knowing they still care. As time passes, you'll see more and more of one another. Cherish those moments when you have him with you again, and have no fear: he's only a second away, just Beyond the Veil.

The dream state is often linked with the afterlife, as our subconscious minds are fully active during both. This can make it easier to connect with other spirits, whether they are still on the earth plane or have crossed over to the other side. It is also the state in which our spirits can astral project and visit each other or explore different places.

Because our intellect is interwoven with our subconscious, it's not unusual to dream of being involved in an activity we might relate to the people who are attempting to connect with us. When my mother passed away, one of the first dreams I had of her involved her calling me on the phone to share a recipe, which is something she often did when she was alive.

It is understandable that you are having a difficult time with your father's passing. Even though you know he is all right and in a better place, it will take time to process his passing and adjust to the loss of physical contact. Things will get easier as time passes, but there will always be a hole in your life that he used to fill.

The good news is that he is still with you; in fact, he is perhaps closer than ever. The dream he sent you in which the two of you were bowling is just one of the many signs he will send to let you know he is okay. Our departed loved ones miss us too. During the times when we feel the saddest, it's comforting to know that our loved ones on the other side are going through the same grieving process.

Watch for coincidences and unexpected events to trigger memories of him, as these are signs he is thinking about you as well. In his spirit form, your father can send you hints that he is near you through familiar scents, the animal world and nature. In some cases, you may feel an unexpected touch or sensation that will let you know he is near, or a complete stranger may say or do something that makes you think of your father.

You may want to visit a psychic channeler so you can talk with him directly. Channelers act as mediums and are able to go back and forth between the spirit world and the earth plane. If you have questions for your father, want assurance that he is okay, or simply want to interact with him, this is a wonderful way to bridge the gap between this world and the afterlife.

The suggestions above can help you adjust as you go through this time of loss, and can affirm that your father is still near you, that he is fine, and that he loves you as much as ever.

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
