Astrology this week

This week starts off with Sunday's turnaround by Mars (see other post) then we get Pluto turning around on the 18th.  See separate post. 

On the 19th the Sun moves out of feiry Aries and into earth bound Taurus.   Of course, we need the groundedness but the momentum of Aries lunar month is still in play.  Energy is still pushing us forward even if it feels slower now that Mars is retrograde and the Sun in Taurus. 

We end the week with the Full Moon in Scorpio.  What needs to die and be reborn?  Don't know?   Take the full moon to figure it out.   See following post. 

Gibbous Moon

April 17

10:07pm EDT

Gibbous:

We refine our information.  We pick and choose, we discriminate, and we organize to be ‘Virgo’ like.  We sort through details.  Have we missed something?  How are we sifting through the information?  Go back and make sure something hasn’t been neglected.  Refine our actions. 

Focus on:

How are you sifting through information that impacts your schedule and routines?  How are you refining you habits?  How are you refining your diet? How are you refining your health choices?  How are you refining you ability to serve?

Special Focus:

4/18: Pluto retrograde (see separate post)

4/19: Sun enters Taurus

4/19: Venus square Pluto.   Love and power are at odds.  Values and power are odds?  How can you transform so that they are in alignment?

Full Moon Phase

April 22

1:23am EDT

2 Scorpio 30

Full Moon:  We make the needed adjustments on the things we planted. Usually emotions are up and running and for those people who perhaps did not utilize the new moon and the rest of the waxing moon, this is when emotions can get the better of us.  There can often be a big emotional break, for no other reason than to get back on track.   Some partnership will offer up some balance.  The moon is bright and full and there is no room for shadows, what is reflecting on you? 

Focus on:   Full Moon in Scorpio.   What needs to die in order for a rebirth? Where are you hanging on too hard and how is impacting your independence or lack of it?  What resources needs to be purged and new ones replaced?
