People know that Scorpio is the sign of sex, but sleep on the fact that your hardest breakups or relationship ups and downs are those with friends. On Sunday, April 21, Juno, the “asteroid of commitment,” ends its retrograde and goes direct, bringing the potential for a heartwarming reunion with a long-lost friend. Just make sure to put extra care into communication as you reconnect, since Mercury is still retrograde.
Other than the eclipse, one of the most important days of the month comes on Tuesday, April 23, which brings a full moon in your sign, Scorpio, amplifying your natural intensity and propensity for introspection. While this lunation may stir some paranoia, it also opens a powerful portal for manifestation. Mark this date; the universe might just deliver on a long-held desire.
Thankfully, Thursday, April 25, sees Mercury retrograde end. Travel becomes less fraught, communication clears up, and a general sense of relief permeates the air. Remember, Scorpio, unless it’s one of those rare cases where friendship is possible, don’t create more drama for yourself by reaching out to an ex, at least not before Mercury is direct and you’ve thought it through.
Then, on Monday, April 29, Venus moves into Taurus shifting the focus from self-care to deeper interpersonal connections. This transit invites you to bring the calmer, more centered version of yourself that you’ve been curating all month into your relationships, enriching them with newfound tranquility and depth. You do have a calm center beneath the turmoil, you just must accept that your high maintenance tendency is a pro, not a con. Finally, the month wraps with one of your ruling planets, Mars, moving into Aries, which is also ruled by the warrior planet, on Tuesday, April 30. For those in the dating scene, beware that this energy is super horny. Mars also lends its passionate energy to your professional ambitions, making it an opportune time to pursue advancements, including that well-deserved raise. Don’t forget the self-care, and we’ll see you in May.
