Scorpio - April 2018

Greetings, Scorpio! April’s full Moon shines a light on your sign on the last day of the month, so it’s time to address all those issues you’ve been trying your best to avoid!  Full Moons have an unsettling way of illuminating all the dark corners of your life, the places where you are hiding your secrets.  When this happens it makes sense to be honest about what you want.  This is a very personal transit for you, a time when important projects could reach a conclusion, or activities you have loved and which gave you a sense of purpose, come to an end.  You like to have a plan in your life and something to aim for, therefore this may leave you feeling a little lost as to what to do next. Positive energy from Saturn will ensure you aren’t waiting long for something interesting to get your teeth into.  Look to siblings, neighbours and educational establishments to provide you with the inspiration you need for your next adventure.

Your work sector is bristling with heavenly activity this month, and as Mercury continues his retrograde jaunt here until the 15th, you may find it more strenuous than usual to tackle all the tasks you have been given.  Don’t try too hard to communicate with pedantic colleagues until Mercury turns direct on the 15th, and expect any agreements concerning work-related matters to be turned on their head, only to be rehashed before we reach May.  The new Moon shines here on the 16th, offering you unique and very creative opportunities to take on a new work project.  Unexpected job offers are also likely now, and if you accept, these chances will take you into some wonderful experiences.  Just take care as the Sun attacks Pluto between the 10th and 18th; a quest for power could result in some rather suspect behaviour on the part of a work mate. 

With Mars continuing his trek through your communication zone this month, friends and family members will need to cope with your forthright, honest approach; you won’t be spending any time sugar-coating the facts!  Mars and Pluto become locked in a rather intense and aggressive conjunction during the first three weeks of April, and this is a fabulous combination of energies for unearthing the truth in confusing situations.  Your sixth sense will be spot on and you will instinctively know if others are trying to hide something from you.  Work involving research, detective skills or spiritual investigation will be especially favourable for you here.  Jupiter and Mars form an encouraging sextile after the 14th, which is fabulous for supporting others with positive words, and taking action to help them resolve their problems.   If you work in education or training, this will be an especially rewarding time for you.

Chiron makes an important sign change on the 17th, leaving behind your house of love and leisure and instead heading for your health zone.  You have dealt with those difficulties around expressing your inner creativity, and will take the lessons with you as you move forward on your life path.  Now it is time to take a good, hard look at how you treat your body and if you are unhappy, think about doing some work on getting back in touch with that more beneficial life style.  This part of your chart also deals with everyday routines, hence if you are a person with a lot of commitments to other people, Chiron will push you over the next few months to work on organising your own life and putting yourself first a little more.  Enjoy your April!
