Weekly 27 April to 3 May

Aries:

Focus hard on your daily duties early this week, because you’re super detail-oriented through Wednesday. The planet in charge of communication moves into your house of talking, thinking and writing on Thursday night. You’ll be more attuned to your correspondence during the next few months, because Mercury will remain here for an extra long period of time, thanks to the retrograde that begins in mid-May. The window of incredibly intense energy from the Full Moon opens on Thursday, even though the lunation isn’t exact until Sunday. By Friday, all that matters to you is transformation – or just life-changing sex.

Taurus:

This is one of the most important weeks of the entire spring for you, so take note. Not only are Venus, Mars, and the Sun all in your sign right now, but the Full Moon comes to your relationship zone on Sunday. If you’re feeling particularly in demand both socially and sexually, you’re totally tapped into the current astro-vibe. Money issues come into strong focus on Thursday when Mercury moves into your financial zone, but the main thrust of the week is love, love and more love. The Full Moon could bring a fair degree of drama, so try to stay grounded in your truth.

Gemini:

This exciting week is just the preparation for your birthday month. When your ruler Mercury moves into your own constellation on Thursday, everything improves. If you feel more at home in your body and the world at large, that’s just the stars at work. Because of an upcoming retrograde, Mercury will remain in your sign for an unusually long time — all the way through June. A powerful Full Moon comes to your house of work on Sunday, making you feel a bit overwhelmed and frenetic. Treat your body right and your mind will be extremely sharp, Gemini.

Cancer:

This week brings a change of signs for Mercury and a Full Moon in a water sign — your mind and heart are both going through major transformations. On Thursday the communication planet moves into your house of dreams, inspiring the deepest reaches of your subconscious mind. It will remain there for an extraordinarily long time, thanks to the upcoming retrograde. On Sunday the Full Moon comes to your house of love, pleasure and creativity. This is the culmination of a deeply romantic phase that began about six months ago. An amazing lover may be coming into your life soon, Cancer.

Leo:

This week starts on a very efficient note, especially when it comes to your financial dealings. When Mercury moves into your house of networking on Thursday, your social life will begin to pick up, and then it will get progressively more interesting over the next few weeks and months. That’s because Mercury will spend a rare and long time in this part of your chart, thanks to an upcoming retrograde phase. The intensely dramatic Full Moon coming to your house of home and family on Sunday could bring more than you bargained for. Be extra tolerant of even your most difficult loved ones.

Virgo:

Your ruler Mercury is on the move this week, so expect a powerful shift, Virgo. As the communication planet moves into Gemini, the sign that you share rulership with, you’ll notice the pace of life quickening a bit, especially when it comes to your one-to-one relationships. This begins on Thursday but will last for a few months — Mercury is heading for a retrograde in mid-May. You’ll experience both the pleasures and frustrations of this phase through early July. Sunday’s rather intense Full Moon comes to your house of communication on Sunday. You might feel compelled to say more than you usually do.

Libra:

You might feel stuck inside your own head until Thursday, when the Moon moves from your house of subconscious thought into your more ego-oriented first house. That same day Mercury, the communication planet, moves into an air sign like yours, where it will remain for several months. This is because a retrograde phase will begin in mid-May, keeping the focus on your long-distance travel zone though early July. It’s a great time to deal with global affairs, foreign contacts, and trips abroad. A deep and powerful Full Moon comes to your house of financial affairs on Sunday.

Scorpio:

This is a powerful week, Scorpio, so treat yourself well while you take yourself seriously. Mercury, the communication planet, will be moving into your house of sex and transformation on Thursday. Prepare for an extended focus on this arena of your life, as the communication planet will remain in this part of your chart through early July. That’s thanks to an upcoming retrograde starting in mid-May. The more immediate and potentially dramatic news is the Full Moon in your own sign on Sunday. You’ll begin to feel its intensity days beforehand — it’s important to be really kind to your body, mind, and soul.

Sagittarius:

It’s a pivotal week for the spring season — and for your life. Mercury, the planet in charge of communication and thinking, is moving into your opposite sign on Thursday. This is of special importance because it’s going to be hanging out there for an extraordinarily long time, thanks to an upcoming retrograde. Expect to experience much activity and many lessons in the realm of relationships between now and the first week of July. Sunday’s Full Moon comes with a lot of intensity and power, and it’s landing right in your house of subconscious thought. Your dreams are spectacularly powerful this week, Sadge.

Capricorn:

This week brings some big shifts and some more subtle changes. Mercury moves into a new sign on Thursday, bringing a more frenetic pace. The planet of communication and thinking will be in your house of work and health for quite a while — all the way through early July. This will bring a long and intense emphasis on matters of wellness and detail, so get ready to focus on this area of your life a lot more. A powerful Full Moon comes to your house of friendship, networking and goals on Sunday. Your connections prove fruitful now, but there could be ample drama.

Aquarius:

With Mercury moving into a fellow air sign on Thursday, your mind will be extra alert and active. And this won’t be a fly-by-night transit — the planet of communication and thinking will be in your creativity zone for quite a long time. Thanks to the upcoming retrograde (starting in mid-May) this will last though the first week of July. Pleasure is your major conquest for the next few months — lovers new and old may appear in your life. Sunday’s Full Moon lands in your career zone, bringing a culmination to something you’ve been working on for at least a half a year.

Pisces:

With the planet of communication moving into your house of home on Thursday, prepare to think a lot about your family ties. This phase will last for a long time, Pisces, because Mercury will be going retrograde in mid-May, extending his stay in this part of your chart until early July. Your domestic scene will be quite active for the next few months. On Sunday a deep and powerful Full Moon comes to a sister water sign. This lunation could take a bit of an emotional toll as it also opens your mind and draws out your creative instincts.
