​Eilidh, 30, was chatting to a guy on a dating app and things were going well. He was cute. Definitely her usual type. They’d arranged a date and she was looking forward to it. But then she spotted something she hadn’t previously. On his profile, he referenced using ChatGPT to write his bio. “I immediately unmatched,” she says. “If someone’s not able to even think for themselves, there’s no chance they’re going to be thoughtful when it comes to you. It’s also such a red flag for people to not care about the impact that generative AI has on the planet.”. She’s far from the only one. As ChatGPT and similar technologies gradually infiltrate our everyday lives, people appear to be divided into two camps: those who lean on it for everything from “creative” ideas to break-up texts, and those who consider such over-reliance a massive turn-off. “Last summer, I struck up a conversation with a guy in a cafe who I thought was cute,” Nilu, 35, says. “Within five minutes, he told me that he was using ChatGPT to help him ‘understand how to speak to Italians’. Like, congratulations, you are a moron. I excused myself shortly after.”. After speaking to various people for this piece, certain patterns began to emerge. Daters thought that using ChatGPT for tasks that the human brain could do on its own—hash over an argument, decide what to wear—revealed a fundamental weakness in character; hardly an attractive quality. Stephanie, 36, told Vogue she believed it signalled emotional immaturity and a “lack of leadership”. “It feels as if the person is trying to cheat their way out of doing the work. If they’re using it to give them advice on how to feel, how to react, these kinds of things… I’m of the idea that, as humans, we need to figure life out manually. We shouldn’t be relying on AI to tell us what to do, how to think.”. It’s not just prospective daters that are turned off by AI use; it’s become an ick-inducing issue within committed relationships, too. One woman who wished to remain anonymous told me that her boyfriend had become “addicted” to it. “It concerns me that if we were to argue, he’d be asking Chat what he should do and how to defuse the argument… he also uses it to find the answer to simple questions like ‘how to make a spicy margarita’ and it gives me the ick.” Others professed that they’d felt disillusioned within long-standing friendships for similar reasons. “I learned he even tells ChatGPT when he has a shit and it tells him if he’s above average for that month,” one man reveals, astonished.. Everyone I spoke to denounced the idea that asking AI to complete the most basic of tasks is worth its monstrous environmental impact, which is well-publicised—one study published in the journal Patterns estimates that AI’s water use is similar to the global consumption of bottled water. For many, being unconcerned with AI’s impact on the planet is enough of an ick in i  

​There has been this thing of constantly feeling like you are misunderstood and alone. You may have been praying and working towards certain transformations, however, Scorpio, your approach is maturing. This full moon activates a deeper compassion, poise and ‘going-with-the-flow’ energy for you and nope, you are not slacking off. You are manifesting your biggest dreams, you are doing the background work, your mind is a constant running computer that never shuts down. And your energy will bring your fruits forward. Today, however, try and invest some time to organise your thoughts, plan of action and perhaps even jot your ideas and visions down on paper not to really manifest them, but simply to declutter your mind and organise these better. Once you have them on paper, you will know exactly where to go from here. But remember, no cheating—no digital copies—go old school and put real pen to real paper.. Cosmic tip: The cosmos has got your back. Yes you will receive all you need to in good time and there is absolutely no need to worry about a thing.. When was the last time you gave yourself permission to rest and sleep, Sagittarius? When was the last time you hung your boots up for a moment, even mentally? Make today that day. Well, yes, deadlines, work and life are a thing, but create space for your own sacred moment with yourself today. This full moon asks you to evaluate all the ways in which you indulge in excesses and extremes; and then figure ways to balance them out as much or as often as possible—be it parties, overthinking, overworking, overgiving within relationships, your food or anything else. This is the day you are asked to remember to believe in yourself and the strength of your resolve—to actually begin carving it out in your life.. Cosmic tip: Make changes playfully.. The first step to change is acceptance. Capricorn, tonight’s full moon in Libra, really pushes your buttons to be more in your mind and awareness than in action. You may be reevaluating your purpose, what and how you choose to contribute and perhaps even the way you show up—even for yourself. You love setting high standards, but where does that often land you? Struggling to keep striving for more. And guess what? Your body, mind and your very cells read it as you not being enough; as you needing to be someone else; and as you needing to try even harder—and often this is the cause of mental, physical and emotional imbalances. Today take a moment to review where you really have been instead of where you wish to go, send love to the past versions of you that did not know better instead of cringing at them. And then slowly decide that wanting to improve need not come at the bitter cost of a diminished sense of self worth and constantly disregarding your and others’ efforts.  

​There are many layers to this game, Taurus. Your need for fame and recognition is human, and totally valid, but also ask yourself if that is the only way you feel you will be seen and heard. This month’s full moon is reiterating certain touchy topics and making big waves in your tiny, seemingly fragile heart. And here is the good news and the not-so-good-news. It is not your heart that is fragile, it is your ego that fears rejection that is. Whatever the challenge, there is nothing a calm mind cannot combat. Leo, while yes, life may have been murky and swampy lately, you need not let yourself fester on the dense energies of your past. Learn the lessons, pick up the pieces, wash them off and rebuild. You wish to live lighter, you wish to live brighter, so why would you really want to stay stuck in parts of your past that only feel like quicksand but serve no real purpose. You have dedicated yourself to distance yourself from a part of your current or past life that feels too heavy or even borderline trauma ridden and no, Cancer, you are not escaping from your life, you are simply choosing to keep only what adds value. You are mastering discernment—giving attention and fostering only relationships that add value and meaning to your life. Your spiritual goals are getting clear as is your understanding and vision for yourself, and your immediate circles. Be it money, love, health, relationships or anything else, Scorpio, you are being nudged to clear the way to feel, and ask for what you want without feeling guilty about it, and also ask for it to be given to you ‘with ease.’ Now the only question remains, will you listen to your intuition and follow the easeful ideas being offered to you?. Here are your soulcopes for April 2026. Your sun, moon and rising sign make the complete picture so remember to check them out and make notes for the month that lies ahead.. You just want your life to feel normal. And if you had your way, you’d use your wand to bring your wishes to life. Aries, do you see the irony of it all? You were never meant to be like everyone else, you were never meant to be bland. Yes, you want your life to feel wholesome, but a dash of bird’s eye chilly only adds your signature spark to it, no? Release the heaviness and bitterness you have been carrying forward in your heart. Cut through the noise of other people’s opinions of you that you have been carrying forward in your mind, that too rent free. They only held you back. While yes, structure is needed to see things through, you need not go to the other end of the spectrum to micromanage things and ensure everything goes to your plan. Share the load, welcome love and support. Allow the cosmos to help. The year has only just begun and you have a lot on your plate to strike off.  

​Tonight’s full moon is bringing your focus back on to the new skills you want to pick up, to all the ways in which you want to show up differently and perhaps even all the items in your shopping cart that you might want to impulse buy today. Well Aries, go ahead and plan everything else out, except impulsive shopping. That might give you instant gratification but emotional and impulsive buys are a no, especially if you are looking to create long term stability (which you are). You might feel a myriad of emotions but you are not alone. Does that make your pain any lesser, no? But does that mean you have other strangers walking a similar path like you? Yes. so take solace in the fact that each one is on their own journey and focus on what you would like to create okay? Also resist the urge to indulge in verbal diarrhea today..

​You are special and you know it. You have lots of wisdom and nuances to share, but Taurus, it is time that you only share it with those who are willing to perceive and receive it. It may feel strange at first to keep your gems to yourself, but when you realise and see how well they are valued and deserved by those who truly want them, it will make it all worthwhile. And as contradictory as it sounds, valuing your voice and skills will actually set you free—free of expectations of others, free of feeling unseen and unheard; free of needing to measure and talk; and even free of feeling too much. Try it and see for yourself.. Cosmic tip: It’s a Yes from the cosmos.. Aries April 1, 2026. Gemini April 1, 2026. Cancer April 1, 2026. Leo April 1, 2026. Virgo April 1, 2026. Libra April 1, 2026.
