And, NOW 50% OFF: In this month’s lunar workshop, I’ve got a reading, ritual and guided meditation for your sign for the full moon in Libra.
April 19th
4:12 AM PT – Full moon at 29° Libra
On
the edge of Libra, the second full moon in a row happens in the sign of
the scales. This full moon acts as an exclamation point on the area of
our chart that contains Libra. With this unusual double feature, April’s
full moon ties into the themes of March. What peaked for you last month
wasn’t the full story; this week’s full moon fleshes out the plot
lines, making its point known.
Full
moons are moments in the lunar cycle where something has peaked. The
energy of a situation is at its fullest. Like a flower bud bursting
open, all the glory that was held in the potential of a thing is
revealed to the world. Now bees can come to roll around in the pollen of
the project, spreading its potency far and wide. On the way to the full
moon, make every effort to perfect, love, and care for what it is you
want to release in the world. The full moon carries your intention
forward with your efforts.
These
two full moons in Libra are commenting on whatever it was we began
about 7 months ago, with the new moon in Libra in October of 2018. Your
horoscope below speaks more specifically to the area of life that these
full moons are impacting but, in general, notice what in your life is
naturally finding its own dynamic balance, it’s own conclusion and its
own way of shining in the world.
April 20th
Sun enters Taurus
Welcome,
Taurus Season! The first couple of weeks of it aren’t as chill as the
bull likes to be, but the fields are alive with a different kind of
music right now. As the sun wanders through these pastures, little
earthquakes give way to larger ones. Change is afoot, and those with
important points and planets in (especially the early degrees of) Taurus
will be challenged to change in ways they’ve never been. Even the most
stable of seasons have completely unexpected conditions to contend with.
This is one of them.
Venus enters Aries
As
the goddess leaves her throne and exaltation in Pisces, she moves into
territory that is the exact opposite of where she thrives. Venus in
Aries is a short-lived love affair. A fiery heart that burns out before
it’s had time to figure out what it wants. A restless lover who has
incredible magnetism, but not necessarily an interest in sticking around
for the long-haul. That’s not to say that people with this placement
are like this, but the conditions that Venus finds herself in, in Aries,
force her to move mountains for relationships that last. If you want to
learn more about your own personal Venus placement, and other things to
do with love and intimacy in your personal chart, please join me for
the workshop Your Love, Sex, and Synastry.
April 22nd
Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus at 2°
Today’s
astrology highlights the longer-range changes that Taurus is going
through. The next 7 years sees Uranus transiting through Taurus, and
every planet that now roams through the bull’s eye meets this maker.
Uranus is here to work the fields in a much different way than they have
been thus far. Innovating how we handle the resources that we have
access to makes all the difference under these skies.
April 24th
Pluto stations retrograde at 23° Capricorn
This
year, Pluto stations retrograde next to the south node. This gives the
transit an extra emphasis on purging, releasing, and being relieved of
what isn’t good for our spiritual growth. Pluto will spend the next 6
months moving a mere 3°, stationing direct at 20° Capricorn on October
2, 2019. That means if you have any planets or points between 20°-23° of
Capricorn (Aries, Cancer, or Libra)they are receiving a very thorough
investigation from Pluto. This Lordess of the Underworld has dirt on all
of us, though. Whether or not we have planets in Capricorn, this
transit helps us to investigate the motives that we have in the area of
our chart that contains this earth sign.
April 27th
Mars in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces, both at 17°
A
momentary confusion can set in as Mars, the warrior works its way
through the fog and misleading signposts that Neptune places in its
path. This is a quick transit so if you feel lost, stay where you are
and wait for your mom or the next best thing to come get you.
April 29th
Saturn stations retrograde at 20° Capricorn
Stationing
direct on the south node, days after Pluto did the same, Saturn will
retrograde all the way back to 13° Capricorn, where it will station
direct on September 18, 2019. From now until then it inspects, with the
utmost scrutiny, the structures, guidelines, and fears that get in the
way of us doing our best work. Saturn wants to check to see if we have
done our homework, stayed late, and given the things we are working on
the proper time to take shape. Conjunct the south node, Saturn’s station
retrograde might have us contemplating the goals that are our
guideposts. When these two come together we are asked to get real about
the reasons for wanting to achieve what we do. Saturn slows us down to
get it right; doing so on the south node might make us more willing to
be honest with ourselves so we can release those goals that actually do
nothing for us in the long run.
April 30th
Mercury in Aries sextile Mars in Gemini, both at 20°
Today,
Mercury gets some help from its current ruler, Mars. Conversations are
stimulating to say the least. Consensual dirty talk never sounded so
sweet. Your more daring sentiments are expressed with greater ease and
received with greater excitement.
May 1st
Mercury in Aries square Saturn Rx in Capricorn, both at 20°
Mercury
now gives us a run for our money, moving swiftly through a couple of
difficult situations. Everything ends up on a brighter note, but we are
challenged to momentarily wade through some sludge. Today’s astrology
has us up against a limitation or boundary in our thinking, or in terms
of another that we are having a conversation with. Stay with what works
and put obstacles in perspective. Things will shift by end of day
tomorrow.
May 2nd
Mercury in Aries square Pluto Rx in Capricorn, both at 23°
Rounding
out this challenging conversation, Mercury squares Saturn, the south
node, and now Pluto. The truth is out there, but we have to be willing
to release our ego in the process of finding it. Power dynamics get
especially challenging with this transit so speak words that help
deconstruct unfair imbalances.
Mercury in Aries trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius, both at 23°
Triumphantly,
Mercury wins whatever battle it was waging. Spreading the good news,
this configuration helps us to see beyond the burdens of our situation
and make the most of the solutions we can think up, communicate, and
take action on.
Horoscopes for Aries & Aries Rising
Just
before Aries Season comes to a close, the second full moon in a row
lights up your 7th house of committed partnerships. Over the stretch of
March and April, these full moons have asked you to focus on the ins and
outs of your intimate relationships and business partnerships. What’s
been revealed needs to be taken into account.
Don’t
waste your time pretending that you didn’t hear, see, or come to know
what you have about your connections with others. Your heart, your
talent, your energy all deserve to be connected to the people that get
you and what you are up to. It is more than reasonable to refuse a match
that is anything less than the perfect fit; in fact, it’s
time-management 101.
The
relationships that have revealed themselves as reciprocally inspiring
now get a boost. What you began with another back in October now gets
loved and lifted up.
The
sun’s conjunction with Uranus on April 22nd tempts you to rebel against
your self-doubt. What has it done for you lately? This transit is one
of many occurring over the course of the next month that ask you to
innovate your work in one way or another. Don’t be alarmed if the way
your work life is flowing feels unfamiliar. Keep attuning yourself to
how your resources want to work for you. Instead of trying to fit them
into a system that might not understand what you are offering, build
bridges to those that do.
As
Pluto and then Saturn station retrograde (April 24th and 29th), they
pull focus on your career roles, obligations, structures and the power
of what you create when you take the time to build it with integrity.
Try to focus more on the shape of it then the speed you think it should
be built with. If it’s taking more time than you thought it would, it
needs more time than you knew. Don’t rush what’s worth waiting for.

Horoscopes for Taurus & Taurus Rising
If
you want to break professional boundaries, records, and reasonable
goals, you have to be willing to go it alone at times. You have to be
willing to disturb the peace and be blamed for the disruption. You have
to like yourself enough to risk being rejected by those that don’t
understand you. Yet.
The
second of two full moons in a row will be lighting up your 6th house of
work projects, habits, and patterns. It helps your best efforts get the
boost that they deserve, but there are other astrological forces at
play that say you want more than just gold stars.
The
sun’s conjunction with Uranus in Taurus is a rock-star of a start to
your season. Encouraging you to break new ground, this astrology gets
you to cause a little more commotion than is common for you. Living out
loud, channeling chaotic creativity, and freaking out the part of you
that yearns for stability, is par for the course. Your adverse internal
responses need to be weighed against the necessary risks you must take
at the moment. Soothe yourself, then challenge yourself.
As
Pluto and then Saturn station retrograde (April 24th and 29th), they
pull focus on your path forward. If there are places that you want to go
but are putting off for fear of not being up to the task, this transit
will ask you to outgrow such a limited understanding of what you are
capable of.

Horoscopes for Gemini & Gemini Rising
With
the second full moon in a row lighting up your 5th house of creative
projects, energy, and opportunities, April makes a point of telling you
that you are talented. Whatever you have been working on developing
since October of 2018 is now getting a double dose of divine love. What
have you learned about spending your creative currency? What is your
artistic tempo? When does your creativity need rest? Time to play,
ponder and experiment? The less energy you spend trying to please others
with what you are making, the more energy you’ll have to celebrate and
appreciate the creative process in and of itself. It is its own reward.
The
sun’s conjunction with Uranus on April 22nd teases out a talent, and
possibly a sorrow, that has laid dormant for too long. What you’ve had
to keep secret now needs to be set free. Truths that have been locked
away in your unconscious are plotting an escape. Best to be their
accomplice. It may be a rocky release, but the reward of living an
honest life is worth the work to do so.
As
Pluto and then Saturn station retrograde (April 24th and 29th), they
pull focus on your collaborations. The biggest lessons that you are
learning in regards to the exchanges of time, energy, and effort you
make with others are most likely about taking responsibility for your
part of the process. The less you overextend yourself, the less
resentment you’ll have. Boundaries are a beautiful thing, make time to
love up yours.

Horoscopes for Cancer & Cancer Rising
With
two full moons in a row in your 4th house of foundations, these past
couple of months have brought you face to face with your non-negotiable
needs. How you learn to care for your inner life makes your public one
more pleasurable. How you learn to address your internal responses to
your external growth helps you expand in ways that align with your
purpose instead of pursuing what is merely fashionable. How you learn to
take your home with you, no matter where you are, keeps you connected
to what sustains you across continents and decades.
Consider how your work might feed future generations.
The
sun’s conjunction with Uranus on April 22nd illuminates the social sea
change that you are a part of. Something innovate wants to come through
you and the people that you are gathering with. Listen to what your
creativity wants to give to your audience. Listen to the ideas that your
community has in regard to creative problem solving and socially
conscious strategies for success. Your group-mindedness is grounded in a
desire to make something better for everyone. Risk being momentarily
misunderstood so that you can eventually be a motivating force for the
collective good.
As
Pluto and then Saturn station retrograde (April 24th and 29th), they
pull focus on the shape and state of your committed partnerships. The
ones that are high-functioning will get a chance to explore the depth of
mutual pleasures you can reach. The relationships that are already
rocky will likely crash into the issues that need to be dealt with.
During transits like this, no matter the state of the union, the deeper
fears of intimacy and betrayal arise to be healed, held, and understood
for what they are. Fears aren’t always reliable friends to tag along
with, though. Make it your goal to grow into the kind of person you’d
feel relieved to be in a partnership with.
In
the first 2 days of May, Mercury brings up important professional
conversations that detail the nature of the obstacles you are up
against. Ultimately they lead to learning something of incredible value,
so don’t get thrown off by doubt. Stay around until the solutions come,
because they are on their way.

Horoscopes for Leo & Leo Rising
The
second full moon in a row to light up your 3rd house of communication
has a lot to say. March and April have had you on the move and for good
reason. The messages you are spreading right now are opening up
important opportunities for you and will continue to all year. What you
are currently learning about effectively communicating your message will
serve you for miles down the road so stay tuned into what works and
turn the volume down on what doesn’t.
The
sun’s conjunction with Uranus on April 22nd reveals just how important
it is for you to be actively innovating through your public and
professional work. What you are engaging in now either has never been
done before or never done in the way you are about to do it. Stay
attuned to your unique touch and reasons for attempting to do the
impossible. No matter the competition, your cutting edge is your heart,
art, and soul-centered reason for doing this work.
As
Pluto and then Saturn both station retrograde (April 24th and 29th),
they pull focus on the structures of your work life. What is sound
survives the overhaul, but what needs a once over will get a thorough
inspection. You’ll be revising plans, agendas, and the applications of
your skills, but for the best reasons. In the end, these transits will
see you clearer about your professional roles and reasons for occupying
them.

Horoscopes for Virgo & Virgo Rising
The
second full moon in a row to light up your 2nd house of money,
resources and assets mean business. Whatever financial lessons March and
April brought you are coming to a close, but you’d be remiss to forget
their meanings too quickly. What you learned about how to work with your
resources, and issues that came up in regard to them, are priceless.
Give yourself a bonus for the learning curves you’ve come through.
The
sun’s conjunction with Uranus on April 22nd teases out the feelings
that are bound to accompany the new journey you are on. Jitters are
normal if you are allowing yourself to surpass your comfort zone, and it
looks like that’s exactly what you’re being asked to do. Study what
pushes your thinking into new paradigms. Put yourself in situations
where you are forced to learn about what lies outside of your
experience. Discomfort isn’t a punishment, it’s part of any good growth
cycle.
Pluto
and then Saturn station retrograde between April 24th and 29th, pulling
focus on your creative projects and your process with them. What fears
do you need to move through so that your creative energy feels free to
do what it needs to? What do you have a hard time trusting about your
creative process? What structures, time, energy, and focus do you need
to give your creative energy so that you feel more at ease following its
rhythms and ways? Help yourself by focusing on the craft rather than
the crowd.

Horoscopes for Libra & Libra Rising
The
most important gaze to capture is your own. Keep your eyes on the
prize. April is home to the second full moon in Libra in a row and as it
graces you with a double dose of the spotlight, you get to see a little
more of yourself. Whatever you are coming to appreciate about your
story, your struggle, and your identity is determined by your
willingness to show yourself some compassion. Especially when coming to
understand parts of your past, compassion is key.
As
Pluto and then Saturn station retrograde (April 24th and 29th), they
pull focus on your humble beginnings. Having compassion for former
versions of yourself is incredibly powerful medicine. We can’t change
what we’ve done, but being compassionately accountable for what we did
can move internal mountains at quantum speeds. Wage peace with yourself
and see what it helps you appreciate your current and former selves and
situations.
The
sun’s conjunction with Uranus (April 22nd) makes clear the innovations
needed in your collaborations. Perhaps convention tells you otherwise,
but it’s time to listen to the ways in which you know you need to
experiment with how to work with others. Go for efficiency and ways of
working together that open up everyone’s creativity. The freer all sides
are to explore their own talents, the more everyone will bring to the
table.

Horoscopes for Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
As
the second full moon in a row lights up your 12th house of hidden life
and behind the scenes projects, you have even more reason than usual to
be secretive, protective and full of intrigue. Whatever you are cooking
up in private has needed the protection. You of all people understand
the pleasures associated with painstaking attention to detail that few
if any will ever know about. Soon you’ll have recognition for your
efforts but for now let the full moon applaud, if only in private, your
work.
After
the full moon begins to wane, Taurus Season settles in and the sun’s
light starts to heat up your 7th house of relationships. It quickly
makes a conjunction with Uranus (on April 22nd), highlighting the
changes that this area of your life is going through. The partnerships
that help you feel unmistakably alive come into focus. Follow these cues
to more of the same. Meanwhile, if a relationship isn’t right for you,
the discord will be loud and clear.
Pluto,
and then Saturn, station retrograde (April 24th and 29th) in your 3rd
house, pulling focus on your communication projects, daily plans, and
travel. These two thoroughly investigate the routes and reasons you have
for taking them. Be prepared to cut back on the aspects of your
schedule that are unhelpful diversions. You’ll need to concentrate your
efforts to get the most important things on your list done, but they are
totally doable once you hone in on them.

Horoscopes for Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
With
the second full moon in a row lighting up your 11th house of allies,
supporters, and community, you remain the one to watch. Your ability to
network, meet and greet, and mingle with those that have the potential
to be future team members should be worked with. Right now you need to
be available for questions, answers, and your interesting ideas. As you
work to innovate your field, find solutions to problems few have ever
tried to address, and tackle issues no one else knows how to
deconstruct, you shine.
The sun’s conjunction with Uranus on April 22nd makes sure of it.
As
you settle into your role as innovator and disruptor you get a chance
to explore what it might mean to do things a different way. Refusing to
stay stuck coloring in the lines others drew long before you, you can
flip industry-wide issues on their head, leading you to insights that
may be common sense to you but revolutionary to many.
When
Pluto and then Saturn both station retrograde a little later in the
month (April 24th and 29th), what comes into focus are finances and the
need to restructure some aspect of your expenses. Whether that is your
attitude or actual numbers, the planets want you to get real about what
you have as resources and what you can do with them. The more
responsible you feel for developing, and possibly defending, your most
precious commodities, the more of their power and preciousness you’ll be
attuned to.

Horoscopes for Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
With
the second full moon in a row lighting up your 10th house of career,
your professional efforts get a gold star and a major cosmic boost. What
you’ve been able to achieve over the past couple of months is nothing
short of stunning, but has it been satiating? If so the gifts keep on
giving you opportunities for more. Keep disseminating the wisdom the
experiences have granted you.
If
the accolades you’ve received have been anything but uplifting, take it
as a sign that now is the time to chase what could be.
As
Taurus Season settles in, the sun’s conjunction with Uranus on April
22nd tempts you to rebel in the best of ways: by having fun. It’s time
to let yourself find new ways to play, create, and innovate. Learn how
to place humor before bitterness, joy before envy, and collaboration
before self-centered gain. You are meant to be making art out of the
most unlikely mediums. Gather with those that are willing to take
similar risks.
Pluto
and then Saturn station retrograde in your sign, giving you good reason
to pause. It’s just for a brief beat but, between April 24th and 29th,
you are especially sensitive to the responsibilities that pull on you.
Some are yours to tend to, others need to be released from your list.
Knowing the difference is a form of freedom only maturity awards us, and
it makes growing old look glorious.

Horoscopes for Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Nothing
can replace soulfulness. No amount of social currency can be a
substitute for doing the work meant for you. Meaning has to be made out
of life’s ups and downs. Meaning is something you get when you commit to
living into, through, and for what you hold as sacred. With every
choice you make, every action you take, you move closer towards it or
further from it.
Just
before Aries Season comes to a close, the second full moon in a row
lights up your 9th house of long-distance travels, far-off adventures,
and future plans. These two full moons have been asking you to get clear
on why you are moving towards what you are moving towards. Given your
goals, are you getting what you need out of the process? Is it deepening
your relationship to yourself? Has the journey been satisfying on a
soul level? If not, April’s full moon might point out a path that would,
will, and wants to be.
As
Taurus Season settles in, the sun’s conjunction with Uranus on April
22nd teases out a fault line at the base of your life. An issue from the
past, with a parent or housemate, is awakened. Like any beast aroused
from slumber, this one is testy. Try not to cage your emotions in too
close quarters. You need time to understand the more emotionally dense
reactions that erupt. There’s wisdom in the old stories that get
replayed now. There’s a paradigm to shift. There’s a story to retell,
one that casts you as the plucky protagonist. You’re being asked to
reorient yourself with the events of your past, furthering your
relationship with your agency in the present.
Pluto
and then Saturn station retrograde between April 24th and 29th, pulling
focus on your unconscious habits and patterns. What is purged in the
process frees up so much space for your creative energy and abilities to
take shape? Don’t be afraid of facing a self-sabotaging behavior. It’s
just you distorted. Free yourself so that you can be more available for
yourself.

Horoscopes for Pisces & Pisces Rising
With
the second full moon in a row lighting up your 8th house of
collaborations, lessons about how you spend your time, talent, and
energy with others abound. Whatever you have been able to accomplish in
your partnerships over the past 6 months now comes to fruition. If it’s
something you can harvest, you’ll be able to enjoy it for a while to
come.
As
the sun makes a conjunction to Uranus on April 22nd, you are tempted to
speak your mind in ways you don’t usually. This is a long-range change,
one that will slowly but surely lead to you communicating with greater
clarity, honesty, and an ability to get the attention of those you wish
to. The more innovative you are about getting your message across, the
more freedom you’ll find to tell your story. Don’t let the rejection of
your tale take root in your being. You have every right to speak your
truth as anyone else does. Get creative about how to bring it to those
that are ready to receive it.
Pluto
and then Saturn’s station retrograde (April 24th and 29th) pulls focus
on your friendships, social roles, and obligations. Whichever are
feeling too tight, restrictive, or ill-fitting will need to be
reconsidered. Over the course of the next couple of months, you’ll be
attuning yourself to who you want to show up for, and how you want to
show up for them.
