Week 22nd to 28th April 2024

I'm writing this on the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, which has been a blown up anything it touches whether it's good or bad.  We can't hide this week.

On Monday the 22nd, we have Venus conjunct Chiron at 20 degrees Aries, bringing up one of the last of the ouchie moments that April has had us reflect on so far.  What is it that hurts us, what is it that we want, what is it that we don't want to hurt us anymore?  How can we heal from these realisations and move forward, yes battle-scarred, but wiser in the knowledge of our heart's true desires?

The week doesn't let up with the Scorpio Full Moon at 4 degrees on Tuesday the 23rd bringing to the surface what has lingered there since the October 2023 Eclipse. This Full Moon packs an extra punch with a square to Pluto - just in case we missed the point!   There's no relief to be found in this one - we can't hide from this culmination point - an ending in its own right.

Scorpio isn't afraid of looking into the depths of our souls, at the old and rotten, at the taboo and the emotional baggage we try to hide away in lonely corners. Emotions may run high and there's no point making sense of it right now. But we are confronted with what we didn't want to know or what we thought we had laid to rest. 

Mercury stations direct on Thursday 25th at 15 degrees Aries.  A welcome sigh of relief over the next couple of weeks and definitely when it leaves its shadow on May 13th a lot of your mental turmoil from April will have some clarity.  

Lots of rest this week is a must.  Take it slow if you can.  Use that Sun in Taurus to ground yourself in nature.  The Mercury station to journal your thoughts.  The Scorpio Full Moon to scream into the ocean.  Release where you find your heart is tender and full at the same time.
