Your Friday The 13th Horoscope Is Freaky In The Best Way

April 13, 2018 will land on a Friday; you know what that means. Across history, Western societies have led us to believe that Friday the 13th is a day of misfortune. But where did that idea come from? Perhaps it's just old world superstition. Maybe there's a kernel of truth in it. Regardless of what you believe, your April 2018 Friday the 13th horoscope will prove that there's nothing to be afraid of.

For one thing, society didn't always fear Friday the 13th. According to author Tanaaz Chubb, Friday the 13th used to be considered "the day of the Goddess" before Christianity. It was a day surrounded by magic and feminine energy, best spent manifesting your intentions, engaging in creativity, and honoring the soul. What's to fear in that?

Superstition aside, April 13 will gift us with a thin crescent moon in Pisces. Closing in on the new moon, you will feel like setting your pain free and forgiving yourself. You'll be dreaming of new opportunities and energized to go after them. The moon will also be in trine with Jupiter, which will infuse your spirit with positivity. You should embrace your confidence and nurture your innate desires. While you might also feel the ghosts of your past haunting you with the moon in conjunction with wounded Chiron, it will also make you feel more sensitive and empathetic. It's a perfect day to let your Goddess energy loose, so that it can purify and heal the world.
