Scorpio is the sign that teaches us that all things must come to an end. For life there must be death, light must be dark. Everything exists in polarity; one cannot exist without the other. There are times in life when we must struggle, experience loss, and gaze into the dark. Scorpio is the sign that takes us by the hand and ferries us to new states of consciousness.

If Venus reveals what we value as well as where we get caught in the physical trappings of life, what are we being forced to look at? What is it about how we do Venus that is hard to admit to ourselves? How are our values skewed? What is temptation? Indulgence?

Happy Sun in Taurus! As the first earth sign, Taurus teaches us about fertility, sensuality, and the bounty of the physical world. Taurus is value, resources, money. And, when the Sun is in Taurus, we naturally work through themes of stability and security. So, go smell the flowers!

I’ve been thinking a lot about suffering and hardship lately. More specifically, the type of growth that only comes through loss. Yes, I’m Scorpio, and I have a true appreciation of the depth of maturity that comes from facing life’s trials head on and transmuting them into something greater.

Mars Retrograde alert. The planet of action, willpower, and motivation will turn retrograde this Sunday, April 17. Are you are an Aries or Scorpio? This is a time to reflect on how you express the core of who you are. For the rest of us? Mars Retrograde teaches us that we can’t charge forward 100% of the time. We have to pull back from the battle, regroup, and strategize anew.

Today Venus and Mars harmonize, giving us a punch of flirtation, charm, competitive fire, and sex appeal. But keep in mind that Venus in Aries is coming up to a bumpy connection to Pluto into next week. If Pluto is the mirror, we may be examining our Venus shadow around control.
