Weekly Astrology Forecast: April 17 - April 23

Scorpio-Taurus Full Moon - Set In Stone (but subject to review)

The week's Full Moon (April 21st 10:23 PM PDT 2° Scorpio/Taurus) looks like a powerful stabilizer, locking in positions and seeming to set everything in stone. However, there is a significant period of review just around the corner and 'more will be revealed'. The Sun's arrival in Taurus increases a desire for peace and stability but Venus is ruling the Taurus Sun from Aries and heading towards a conjunction with Uranus by the end of the week, stirring up a number of erratic and unpredictable relationship challenges along with a determined individual effort to stand out from the crowd. Impatience seems to build all week. It isn't easy to see where this week's bumpy ride is heading and, by the Full Moon, there is unlikely to be a great deal of agreement or satisfaction with what may seem to some of us like rather arbitrary decisions and course changes. However, Mercury will be retrograde by the end of next week and most of what seems to be certain this week will be subject to extensive review. The week begins with Mars turning around to leave Sagittarius and head back into Scorpio, leading many of us to question beliefs we thought were we were certain about. As well, energy levels tend to be dampened by a retrograde Mars. Sensitive feelings surface on Monday and material resources seem to be of particular concern. The Sun arrives in Taurus and the Moon moves into Libra on Monday, putting increasing pressure on poor, stirred up Venus and creating an impatient atmosphere, particularly in individual relationships. Indecisiveness feeds further impatience on Wednesday, possibly leading some to just walk away. However, creative solutions are possible if we can stay with the process. Most of Thursday seems to be taken up with some rather fruitless negotiations but it is still important to take the opportunity to say what we believe is important. The Full Moon on Thursday night produces a significant let-down on Friday as Venus conjuncts Uranus and increases an individual determination to be recognized. However, most of the displays are erratic and the atmosphere doesn't seem conducive to allowing individual expression. By the end of the week, some may believe that their luck has run out or a cause they have embraced has been shut down. However, 'stumbling blocks' can become stepping stones and there are several rotations still to come before the tables actually stop turning.
