We’re coming off a Libra Full Moon as we start the week, an energy that may be illuminating a key part of our lives and asking us to set boundaries and reevaluate relationships. With the Moon in Scorpio, emotional intimacy, power, and trust are an added focus.
Since it’s Aries Season, a Scorpio Moon means we’ve gone into what I call “the 8th Room”. Scorpio is a sign as well as a space where we face ourselves. This space inspires feelings of vulnerability, a need to go into the deepest parts of our inner landscape. It is in the emotional alchemy of the 8th that we turn shadows into light and proverbial lead into gold.
And since Mars is still in Cancer, some of our emotional alchemy may be centered around themes of home and family, past and memories, roots and foundation. (Read Mars in Cancer: Sign by Sign.)
Speaking of Mars, it’s wrapping up its months-long travels in Cancer, a sign it was in from September 4 to November 3, 2024 and then again since January 6 because of its retrograde. During this period we’ve had to work and rework our Mars, which is to say rediscover our desires, our passion, reexamine how we take action and use our power. With Mars opposite Pluto during this period, we’ve often had some hard internal truths to face which may have brought powerful light bulbs.
Mars will return to Leo this week, on April 18, retracing its step to 6 degrees Leo, the point it began its retrograde on December 6, 2024.
Note that I will be traveling this week and my usual Facebook Live will be pre-recorded. You can find it on Spotify and YouTube.
If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for April 15, 2025.
