Welcome to yet another powerful week in astrology! We are deep in Taurus season now, and the Moon is building in light all week as we journey toward the Scorpio Full Moon on Friday, May 1st. This is one of the most intense Full Moons of the year, where the Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon ask you to stand between what you are building and what you are willing to release. By the weekend, Mercury enters into Taurus, slowing our words, grounding our thinking, and helping us speak with more weight and intention. Let this week bring you into closer contact with your values, your truth, and the quiet power that lives beneath the surface of your life.
🧹Sunday, April 26th
Moon in Virgo trines Sun in Taurus; Mercury squares Jupiter
We open the week with the Virgo Moon flowing in a trine to the Taurus Sun, giving us that rare combination of earth and ease. You may wake up with a clear head, a tidy list of what needs doing, and an instinct to tend to your body, your home, or your work. This is Virgo at her best, of service without sacrificing herself. Use this energy to bring order to one small corner of your life. Later today, Mercury in Aries squares Jupiter in Cancer, and the tension you feel is the universe asking you to check whether your words are matching your truth. Aries Mercury wants to say it fast and say it now. Jupiter in Cancer wants it to come from somewhere real, somewhere felt. Watch for the urge to overstate or overpromise. The opportunity here is to speak from a place of genuine conviction rather than momentum. What do you actually believe? Say that.
🍳 Monday, April 27th
Moon in Virgo
The Moon stays in Virgo today, and the invitation is to keep the momentum of refinement going. Virgo Moon is one of the most healing placements for the body, so treat yourself well. Move, breathe, drink water, cook a meal with real ingredients, organize the space around you. Virgo teaches us that sacred living is not in the grand gestures, but in the small daily choices that make up who we are becoming. What one habit can you commit to this week that will make your future self thank you? Start today.
♎ Tuesday, April 28th
Moon enters Libra at 2:03 AM PT
The Moon moves into Libra in the early hours, shifting our focus from doing to relating. Libra Moon brings us into the realm of connection, harmony, and balance. Where have you been out of equilibrium? Where have you been giving more than you have been receiving, or the other way around? Libra wants us to look at our relationships honestly, not to judge them, but to see where we can bring in more beauty, more grace, and more mutual care. Reach out to someone you love today. Tell them what they mean to you. Watch how quickly the love you give comes back to you.
⚖️ Wednesday, April 29th
Moon in Libra opposes Mars in Aries
The Libra Moon faces off with Mars in Aries today, creating one of those classic astrology moments where relationships can feel charged. This is the me versus we axis of the zodiac, and the oppositions between these two signs often show us where we are struggling to balance our own needs with the needs of someone else. If someone frustrates you today, pause before you react. Ask yourself what the deeper story is. Mars in Aries wants to defend and assert, Libra Moon wants to smooth and soften. You do not have to choose one. You can hold your ground while still choosing kindness. You can be fierce and soft at the same time. That is the real work of this energy.
🦂 Thursday, April 30th
Moon enters Scorpio at 12:02 PM PT; Moon opposes Mercury in Taurus
The Moon enters Scorpio in the afternoon, and the energy of the entire week begins to deepen. You may feel more introspective, more sensitive, and more in touch with what is really going on beneath the surface. The Moon in Scorpio opposing Mercury in Taurus asks you to match your words with your truth. What have you been saying that is not fully yours? What have you been staying quiet about when something in you needs to be spoken? Scorpio is the sign of the shadow, and the Moon here pulls up whatever has been buried. Let it rise. You are about to release it under tomorrow’s Full Moon.
🌝 Friday, May 1st
Full Moon in Scorpio at 10:23 AM PT
The Full Moon in Scorpio at 11 degrees is one of the most powerful Full Moons of the year, happening on Beltane, a sacred day of fertility, fire, and creation. Scorpio Full Moons are about truth, transformation, intimacy, and the courage to release what has been secretly running your life. This Full Moon opposes the Sun in Taurus, shining a light on the tension between what you want to hold onto and what your soul is ready to let go of. Where have you been playing small with your power? Where have you been clinging to comfort when depth is calling you? Use today to release an old fear, an old story, an old pattern that has been keeping you from the intimacy and abundance you deserve. Write it down, burn it if you feel called, and let the Scorpio Moon take it from you. What is released tonight makes space for what is being born.
🎯 Saturday, May 2nd
Moon enters Sagittarius at 11:34 PM PT; Mercury enters Taurus at 7:57 PM PT
The day after a Full Moon is always a sacred pause, a chance to integrate what was released and feel the new space inside of you. Mercury enters Taurus in the early evening, slowing down the way we think and speak. You may notice your mind feels less scattered, your words more deliberate, your voice more grounded. This is Mercury coming into the earth element, and he will stay here for the next few weeks, helping us turn our big visions into real, tangible plans. Late tonight, the Moon moves into Sagittarius, lifting the energy and opening us up to new possibilities. You made it through a powerful week. Celebrate yourself. Your growth is real, and it is showing.
