WEEK OF April 22 - 28, 2024
Tuesday, April 23, could feel like a VIP event held in your honor, as the year’s only Scorpio full moon powers up your trailblazing first house. What have you been working toward since last November 13’s NEW moon in your sign? If the answer is “hmmm, not sure,” then what have you been planning to embark on or dreaming about? Full moons can signal completions or radical turning points and often bring rewards for our efforts. This one, in your sign, could sweep in on a wave of opportunities, begging the question: What’s preventing you from seizing the moment and launching into that dream venture? While your pensive sign tends to sidestep center stage, if you’ve got a valuable message to share or a product or service that could help people, keeping it to yourself isn’t doing anyone any good. Public attention isn’t inherently negative, especially when you have something positive to offer, so get ready to slide that dimmer switch on your radiance dial to high.
Full moons can reveal things that have been hidden, so don’t expect to keep something brilliant under wraps much longer. With the possibility of going viral, you can’t predict who you’ll reach, so act as if you’re on a global stage. As you get more comfortable stepping into your power, a leadership role could open up over the coming weeks. Bask in the ego-boosting glow for a moment, but then make it your business to get up to speed on the new position. There may be a learning curve, but that’s a challenge you’re ready to tackle.
If your signature laser focus has been MIA all month, you can blame Mercury being retrograde in your sixth house of organization and precision. Fortunately, the cerebral planet pivots back into forward motion this Thursday, April 25, restoring order and concentration to your work and health routines, including self-care. If regular exercise fell by the wayside as the retrograde hit the fan on April 1, you can get back on track (or the treadmill) later this week. And as Mercury powers forward through Aries and your wellness sector until May 15, you can pick up where you left off and set some new, inspiring milestones.
Face it, Scorp: Even YOU can’t be all things to all people, nor can you actually do the work of three. So to preserve your sanity and stay on an even keel, consider where you need to erect better boundaries, whether with colleagues, clients or personal connections. Brew up some matcha and look for non-essential yet stressful activities that you can delete from your schedule. Review complex plans with an eye to simplifying them—for everyone’s sake. And when you create some breathing room in your calendar, reallocate that time for body-loving activities, like working out with a trainer, getting healing bodywork and cooking delicious, healthy meals. And pay attention to WHEN you eat—also the mood you’re in when you do. Dining at regular intervals and leaving any negative emotions at the door can also keep your energy steady throughout the day. You might be amazed what this does for your productivity…not to mention digestion.
