As the cosmos gears up for a celestial showdown, we find ourselves on the brink of transformation this April 3rd. The moon glides into Scorpio, sending ripples of intensity as it opposes Venus in Taurus and squares Pluto in Aquarius—an astrological recipe that’s sure to stir the pot! Can you feel the tension smoldering just beneath the surface? It’s like waiting for a pot of water to boil; we know something’s coming, we just don’t know what yet. Expect revelations about your relationships and values to emerge, perhaps even lurking shadows from the past—yikes! So, roll up your sleeves and get ready to scrape away the baggage you’ve been clinging to—because if not now, then when? Don’t miss this chance to reclaim your power and shed what no longer serves you. It’s time to dive deep and maybe even “Step Away From The Corpse!”—a nod to letting go of your old self or, dare I say, an ex, in pursuit of something more aligned with your current vibration. Get ready! LEARN MORE.

The moon in Scorpio will oppose Venus in Taurus and square Pluto in Aquarius at 5 degrees, in the early evening on Friday, April 3rd. This is a dramatically intense happening as the bodies align, just 1 minute separating. Take a look at the chart.  It’s smoldering.

Note, the moon, Venus and Pluto are yin. While there may be an overt event, this is more of a “beware the undertow” situation. Shadowy betrayal.  Mars in Pisces, poisoning.

If you have planets in Fixed signs that will be impacted, this is not about your being in danger. Think along the lines of deep contemplation to uncover unconscious pattern in your relationships with family and others.  How one affects the other. You may be shocked at what comes up.

This would also be a good time to be rid of garbage you’ve been clinging to. You know. Step Away From The Corpse!

The “corpse” may be your ex, but it may be you!  You may need to ditch your own way of being. Your values and the way you feel about things may need to be discarded to create a void that seeds a transformation.

Whatever you do, don’t waste this energy.  It is not “frightening”. It’s a depth charge.
