This week’s astrology forecast:

 April 27th – May 3rd        

Message for the week:

There is a Full Moon in Scorpio occurring Friday. Full Moon’s are always emotionally intense, and this being in passionate Scorpio is all the more so. Full Moon’s bring illumination and being in Taurus/Scorpio, the financial axis, is a good time to reflect on your savings/debt ratio and bring it into better balance.

Uranus, the Awakener, having just moved into Gemini for the next seven years is a game changer. Uranus had been tethered in down to earth Taurus for the last seven years and now is liberated in Gemini to do what it does best—to explore the unknown. Uranus calls for the individuation of your thought process—refuse to allow your mind to be captured by media or others. Own your sovereignty to know truth for yourself directly.

It is not as if we are being rewired or becoming a new species—it is that Uranus will awaken us to expanded awareness in the realms of consciousness that have been dormant. It is as if we are getting an upgrade in our mental processes and awakening to multi-dimensionality of consciousness.

A Rumi poem says it well:

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
There is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
The world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
Doesn't make any sense.

Monday: You may feel like jumping into this day and getting going on all you want to get done with the Moon in task-oriented Virgo in a stimulating sextile to Jupiter in the early morning. The Moon is also quincunx to impatient Mercury in Aries, pulling your attention away from the task at hand towards the next thing on your list—brush aside these impatient impulses like an annoying fly to stay the Virgo course of perfecting the task at hand.

Tuesday: You may wish to stay in the dream world early this morning while the Moon in Libra is opposite dreamy Neptune. A stellar day for relationships with Venus in a supportive trine to transformative Pluto, facilitating surrendering to a deeper level of involvement with others. Relationships, partnerships and cooperative endeavors are favored with the Moon in a grand trine with Pluto and Venus. Don’t let yourself get pressured into something you don’t want to do this evening when the Moon is opposite pressure-laden Saturn.

Wednesday: Although the Moon is in harmony-seeking Libra, you may have to use Libra’s famed diplomacy skills to stay balanced this morning, while the Moon is opposite irritating Mars. After a bumpy start, a smooth morning unfolds. Avoid giving away too much in delicate negotiations this afternoon while the Moon is square to uber generous Jupiter.

Thursday: A generally peaceful day highlighting relationships with the Moon in balance-seeking Libra, moving into Scorpio midday with no major aspects until late tonight. Libra and Scorpio are the two signs of relationships, with Libra seeking harmonious interactions with others and Scorpio seeking deeper intimate involvements. You may have to process an uncomfortable memory before going to sleep late tonight when the Moon squares shadowy Pluto.

Friday: A potent and intense day with the Full Moon in Scorpio occurring at 10:23 AM PDT, bringing awareness of where you must stand your ground (Taurus Sun) and where you must surrender your personal values to fully merge with another (Scorpio Moon). Venus is sextile Saturn, further enhancing relationships with clarity and patience. Mercury is also conjunct the wounded healer Chiron in Aries—words can heal or wound today, choose wisely.

Saturday: Mercury leaves Aries and enters Taurus today, stabilizing and grounding the mind in the here and now. The Moon is in financially shrewd Scorpio with no aspects, making for a good day to deal with financial matters.

Sunday: A smooth and upbeat day is in store, with the Moon in happy-go-lucky Sagittarius with supportive aspects to Neptune, Pluto and Saturn. A good day for adventuring, exploring and making your plans for summer travels.

May the stars be with you!
