April 27th to May 3rd, 2015: Full Moon in Scorpio

Monday: Leo/Virgo Moon

The Leo Moon squares Mercury in Taurus at 10:12 am and is then void of course until Virgo Moon hits at 9:07 pm ET. The Moon square Mercury brings creative thinking to the forefront. In places of disagreement, be more open minded, listen to each other and find permanent solutions. These are fixed signs so once agreement is reached, we'll tend to stick with the plan.  During void of course Moon, aim to be more light, playful, and heart centered.  Bouncy energy may bother some and resonate with others. Kids and some adults will find it hard to concentrate, so try to keep tasks and learning easygoing and fun.  Virgo Moon is good for late night studies and organizing. The Moon squares Saturn overnight adding even more focus on structure.  It might be easy to get things done today if you're relaxed and more difficult if you're unsure or tense. Today's color is brown.

Tuesday: Virgo Moon

The Moon squares Saturn in Sagittarius. Learning, training, and education in general is in the spotlight. Commit to a program of study or agree to take the next step in training or certification of any kind if you feel ready.  The Moon and Sun are in harmony for earth sign things, like garden plans, landscaping and building.  It's a doer's day, so go beyond the thought process and produce. Neptune opposes the Moon tonight which is good for productive dreaming, imaginative homework, or a movie after a long day. It's not the most trustworthy though, so share information carefully.  Be flexible but not to the point of bending over backwards in a situation that doesn't deserve so much accommodation. Today's color is navy blue.

Wednesday: Sun trine Neptune

The Moon is Full in Scorpio on Sunday. This week, move toward completions of all kinds.  Virgo Moon trine Pluto and Mars should help keep us on track with projects and plans. Pluto may unearth an issue or two to be confronted constructively. Act on things that have been overlooked or neglected with the energy of Mars in physical Taurus. The Moon squares Venus in Gemini. How we communicate plays a significant part in outcomes today. Venus relates to relationship and both Virgo and Gemini, the signs involved, relate to words. Manage what you say or write and how you phrase things.  Restrain yourself from strong criticism or assumptions if you want to maintain peace, love and friendship or collegial relationships in the workplace.  The Sun and Neptune are just the right mix of water and earth, add a spiritual, connected aspect to the day, and might fuel both compassion and romance as needed. Today's color is green.

Thursday: Mercury in Gemini, Libra Moon

Moving void of course 8:23 am to 10:03 am, the Moon then shifts to Libra.  Decisions may be pending or required early today as Mercury and the Moon align at 8:23. Give your word outside those void of course times.  Use early morning to process and weigh things out.  Libra Moon aligns with Saturn in Sagittarius. Intelligence is today's theme. The world of ideas, thoughts, and possibilities is activated. Feed your brain, your spirit and your body in healthy ways.  Read books and consult other resources.  In the body, Sagittarius relates to the liver and Libra to the kidneys. Drink lots of water (add lemon!) and purify your body in whatever ways you choose. We're moving into Full Moon time, and feeling good helps with Full Moon moods.  Mercury moves to Gemini, another sign of the mind, at 10 pm. Mercury in Gemini is very communicative, relates to siblings, and ideally gives us a way with words.  Today's color is yellow.

Friday: Libra Moon

Expect a variety of influences on this Libra Moon day.  Jupiter favors friendships and good decisions. Pluto and Uranus stir feelings and create unusual or surprising circumstances.  The Full Moon warmup is here for Sunday night.  Libra Moon traits include judiciousness, balance, and ability to compromise. Keep these in consideration as you move through a potentially busy Friday on all fronts.  Keep your wits about you if you're out tonight or traveling in unfamiliar areas. Libra Moon can keep us too much in our heads. Find balance and stay grounded. Today's color is lavender.

Saturday: Void of Course Moon in Libra, Moon trine Venus

With so much void of course Moon time, don't allow yourself to feel pressured. The Full Moon is a time of decisions, completions, news and deadlines. However, void Moon is not the best time for a big expenditure, spontaneous risk, or major decision unless you've truly done your homework on these things.  Know what you're getting into or receiving for your money. Relationships can have happy, ease filled time on days like this.  On the other hand though, Mercury and Saturn oppose tomorrow and the weekend is filled with serious considerations. Full Moon is Sunday at 11:42 pm ET and the feeling and events linger into the early days of the week. Scorpio Moon moves in at 9:47 pm. Today's color is pink.

Sunday: Full Moon in Scorpio

The Moon is Full in Scorpio at 11:42 pm ET. Everything is magnified, and some things may feel bigger or more overwhelming than need be. Try to keep feelings in check, especially jealousy, regret, or vengeance.  Allow for some quiet meditation or rest. Remember under this fixed sign Full Moon that things do change. You're not stuck, even if it seems so in this moment.  Make long term decisions if you're ready. It may be hard to change things you agree to now.  It's a solid time before Mercury retrograde (May 19th-June 11th), so as long as you plan to be in for the long haul, go with a promise, contract or major announcement. Mercury opposes Saturn in two very different signs from Scorpio, Gemini and Sagittarius. This relates to wise decisions and also learning and growing through challenge and experience.  It's a powerful Full Moon with some vibrations from last month's April 4th eclipse. New developments in ongoing stories are to be expected. Seal a deal or put something to rest.  Today's color is gold.

Weekly Astrology April 30th through May 6th 2012: Full Moon in Scorpio May 5th

Monday: Leo to Virgo Moon

The Leo Moon in harmony with Venus overnight is agreeable and outgoing, so we start the day willing to collaborate and see the bright side. We'll stick with strong opinions though and dig our heels in if necessary as the Moon squares Jupiter in Taurus. Leo, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius are most likely to demonstrate strong will and will go their own way rather than compromise too much. The good news is it can happen without a fight, without drama. The Moon aligns with Saturn at 10:17 am EST and is then void of course until 7:02 pm. Get serious about work this morning. Show your abilities and better traits. The day is well suited to recreation too, and a good game of anything is a great idea under Leo Moon. The Virgo Moon tonight says focus on the basics. Organize and be helpful if you can. The Moon opposes Neptune tonight and we may lose track of time. Wear brown.

Tuesday: Virgo Moon meets Mars

The Moon and Mars in Virgo activates us to pitch in and work for worthy causes or friends. This conjunction can also aggravate matters, for example we become too picky or criticize others. Minding your own business works best today, unless you're willing to help and get involved. If you're not going to offer solutions, it might be best to stay out of others' affairs. The Moon aligns with Pluto and the Sun emphasizing earth sign energies which results in us fixing, building, producing, and showing ambition. Tonight is more of the same with conditions right for study, working with finances and money and synthesizing information including in writing. Today's color is navy blue.

Wednesday: Void of Course Moon

The void of course Moon in Virgo lasts from 6:59 am to 10:04 pm. The Moon aligns with Jupiter first, for positive feeling and, in some cases, good luck! Capricorn and Taurus are mostly likely to have the stars on their side with a calculated risk and Virgo joins those signs in new opportunities. The Moon is square to Venus in Gemini and the most changeable part of our world today involves love. If you're criticized or accused of infidelity or other distractions from your relationship, that's one effect. We may also just feel bored or fickle about our love lives today. Outside love life, we may have lots of ideas about creative endeavors and feel unsure which to pursue or how to move forward. Choices may be hard to make. The Moon moves to Libra at 10:04 pm. Tonight some will consider the benefits of collaborating or being partners versus going it alone. Compromise is in the air. Wear lavender.

Thursday: Libra Moon, Venus sextile Mercury

Situations surrounding Relationships, partnerships & love are in the spotlight with the Moon in Libra and Venus active in the zodiac. Look for resolutions that are fair and that everyone can live with. Separation, divorce, and related matters included, be objective and don't give over too much or too little. The Moon squares Pluto and is opposite Uranus, making it evident that things must change no matter how much one party wants to hang on. This week can be make or break time. Appearing calm on the surface or in the face of stress is a good plan. There are plenty of undercurrents, but Libra is about how things appear and how well you present. Save emotions for the privacy of your own home rather than be deemed dramatic or unstable. Today presents challenges with a square and an opposition and a good chance of surprises, yet tonight Mercury and Venus align, which is welcome and helpful for social plans and a break from deeper issues. Wear blue.

Friday: Scorpio Full Moon Warmup

The Moon will be full on Saturday night. Moon in Libra can see both sides of the story and there's a tug between wanting to hang on or remain undecided and realizing that it's time to accept and adapt. Saturn and the Moon meet reminding us to be just, mature and fulfill promises. We could be judged by our actions and the surface of things, so putting on a good face even under stress may be a good idea. The Full Moon tomorrow brings due dates, yet today's Moon sign and opposition to Mercury means it's tough to get things done. Aim for settlements and solutions and put as much in place as you can. Partnerships and collaborations are a focus with Libra Moon in harmony with Venus. Steps to resolve disputes are worthwhile. Forgiveness is worth seeking. Initiate a new plan if the present one isn't working while Mercury is in Aries, a sign of leadership. Our best judgment calls come by 2:02 pm EST, then the Moon is void of course. Tonight, the Moon moves to Scorpio at 10:20 pm and we really start feeling the deep, emotional nature of this Full Moon. Wear black.

Saturday: Full Moon in Scorpio

Extremes come with this Full Moon. Heaviness may lift or settle in. Moods could be dark or euphoric. Deep emotions are stirred. Scorpio Moons unearth the hidden, yet may also be so full that we stuff some strong reactions or emotions away. Harmonious angles with Neptune, Pluto and Mars should be helpful this weekend and encourage the persistence and will of Scorpio. Neptune in Pisces influence could lead to escapism though, and we need to be careful and conscious where alcohol, medications and other mind altering substances or experiences are concerned since we can lose ourselves in them easily now. Self medication and dropping out could be an effect of this Scorpio Moon, yet the passion and romance and urge to express what is felt by the soul and heart can win out instead. Mercury is opposite Saturn today as well, leading us to get a handle on relationship problems, legalities, communication and what needs to be agreed to in writing. In some cases ultimatums will be issued and boundaries will finally be set. What we focus on is what we get this weekend since Scorpio Moon is fixed on ideas and/or actions and can not be stopped. So get your mind set on the positive, accomplishment, or some serious date action. The Moon is exactly Full at 11:35 pm EST daylight savings. Wear white.

Sunday: Full Moon

The Moon is void of course in Scorpio from 8:14 am to 9:39 pm EST, It's best not to have a fixed schedule or matters of great significance to deal with. Getting routine things done, cleaning, organizing, and relaxing are well timed today. Emotions will tend to be highs and lows. Our judgment could be affected and emotional decisions should be avoided. Let things play out and see what tomorrow brings. The Moon is opposite Jupiter in Taurus. This is good for growing and expanding. The energy around us, in people and situations, is likely to feel stubborn and unyielding however. Put off shopping for anything electronic, expensive or that you can't exchange or return if you change your mind or your needs. The Sagittarius Moon tonight can open us up to ideas, help us relax more and let go of emotional baggage. Wear red today.
