Sunday, April 30th ~ Pluto, Scorpio's ruling planet, is about to be retrograde. The Full Moon & Eclipse in Scorpio is on Friday at 1:34 pm ET. Expect all Scorpio type things (and people perhaps) to be activated this week and for a few weeks ahead. Scorpio relates to what's deeply held, might be repressed, is secret or private, and involves strong emotions. Today, the Moon is in Virgo, in harmony with the Sun and Mercury in Taurus. The past is revisited and old problems or situations may come up for new solutions. Stay grounded and connected to the earth, anything involving land, and also connect to constructive feedback or problem solving. Brown is today's color.

Monday ~ Pluto retrograde begins at 1:09 pm ET, in Aquarius. Pluto spends a good percentage of our lives in retrograde and you may or may not notice or feel affected unless there's a prominent Pluto aspect in your own chart and you're going through a Pluto transit. The retrograde of Pluto can be subtle, with effects that come up over time, like wear and tear, like awareness of something that's always been there or been true and then one day you realize...this has been going on or been here all along. 

Virgo Moon aligns with Uranus, and that brings aha moments and more sudden types of changes or realizations. There are other aspects with the Moon too. Changes in plans and status are likely. The Sun and Mercury retrograde meet, and that makes today a VERY retrograde, retroactive day of past time connections, business, and even things like flare up of injuries since Taurus is a physical sign. Take good care, watch your step, show up on time or earlier. Check your schedule and try not to forget something you need to do TODAY.  Void Moon 7:53 pm on, contributes to forgetfulness and scattered energy. Wear Black.

Tuesday ~ Libra Moon time starts at 2:09 am ET. The Moon is getting close to Full, and we may experience that as pressure, sensitivity, due dates or heightened intensity. Pluto retrograde aligns with the Moon. This does not look like a favorable time for decisions. Technical and personal issues arise. Spend more time in meditation, reflection and clearing mental space. If you are in important meetings or personal interactions, choose actions and words very thoughtfully. Wear Lavender.

Wednesday ~ Libra Moon, and there may be echoes of the last Full Moon, just under 4 weeks ago. The Moon squares Mars in Cancer, related to home and family matters. Relationships are under sensitive conditions right now, in families, in love and in business partnerships especially. Be gentle and be fair. Wear Blue.

Thursday ~ The Moon's light and influence are peaking as the Moon enters Scorpio at 10:32 am after about 5 hours void of course. Information and messages may keep changing or may be hard to interpret. Do ask questions, get clarifications, and try not to assume. Texting and emails can easily be misunderstood. Face to face or at least a phone call increases clarity. The Moon and Pluto square. I think this might be most challenging internally, such as in the emotions and mind. Try not to be overly hard on yourself or think the worst. There are other aspects too. With Scorpio Moon, notice vengeful or grudge like feelings. Keep them in check. Consider letting go of or practicing perspective around old wounds, past things that you can't control and that only result in sadness or anger. What's most important in the here and now? Indigo is today's color.

Friday ~ LUNAR ECLIPSE in Scorpio, churning the deepest of emotional waters. First, and happily, Venus aligns with Jupiter. This smooths and softens today a bit. Opportunities and exciting ideas, potentially related to travel, furthering education, or in your love life may be part of this. Hold that thought! Inspiration can take time to materialize. Mercury is also retrograde. Don't lose sight of an option or idea or say no (or yes) too quickly either. The Moon opposes Mercury retrograde and communication and interactions and how they'll go or whether they'll be clear and true are anybody's guess. Eclipses can accelerate and push forward, yet patience and excellent discretion are called for at the moment. The Moon and Uranus oppose in a combustion that seems volcano-like. Caution with fire, please, and lots of self awareness is needed today. Wear White.

Saturday ~ Scorpio to Sagittarius Moon at 4:04 pm ET. Water element energy is powerful until that time, as the Moon aligns with Neptune in Pisces and Mars in Cancer. It's all water, all about emotions, and some of this could bring up past feelings, dreams of other times, previous relationships and feelings surrounding them. The Sagittarius Moon aligns with Pluto retrograde at 4:41 pm ET, and the mood could be quite philosophical and involve the big questions of life. Wear Red.
