It is spring; so it is a time of new life and rejuvenation. In the sky we still have cycles of change and transformation. Some of the cycles feel a little challenging as the planets are asking us to grow, which is not always an easy task when we get pushed past our comfort zones. However it can be so rewarding to get past your limitations and fears, so you can blossom like a beautiful flower.
The most interesting thing this spring is that we have 2 full Moons in the sign of Scorpio. One is on April 20th, the other is on May 19th. The energy of Scorpio is about healing and transformation, as well as death and rebirth. The Universe is giving us a double dose of transformational energy through the Moon's illumination. It is time to shed all the old stuff that is no longer serving you. As you release the old, you will have more energy to step into who you really are. As you look at the full Moons in Scorpio, see how moon is reflecting back to all of your Divine qualities as well as your power. Feel how magical you are.
Mars is still traveling in the sign of Cancer until May 8th, so emotions may be running a little higher. Mars then goes into the fiery sign of Leo until June 30th. Leo rules creativity and passion, so make some time to do the things you are passionate about. Give your creative spirit carte blanche. Leo is energy is also about play, so bring out the child in you and have some fun. Get your self rejuvenated because when Mars goes into the sign of Virgo from July 1 through August 18th, the energy will be about being in productive mode.
Saturn will station direct on May 2nd. Saturn's energy can affect business and finances so hopefully it will bring some stability to the economy. Do what you can to build a better sense of inner and outer security for your self.
We have a Mercury retrograde in the sign of Gemini from May 26th through June 19th. We have a double whammy as Gemini is the sign that also has to do with communication. So take extra care in what you want to say, as misunderstanding can happen more easily. Avoid having strict deadlines during that time. That can save you some stress. This is a cycle where you want to give yourself some room for flexibility. It can be a lesson in taking things moment by moment.
Jupiter and Neptune go into retrograde motion in May. Spend some time looking within to renew and restore your sense of faith and optimism. You or your loved ones may be going through challenges, but know there is a reason, even if it doesn't make sense. Somehow the darkness of winter always turns to the miracle of spring.
Allow your positive thoughts and your visions to plants seeds that can grow into beautiful creations. As you blossom into the uniqueness of all of who you are, the more lovely the world will be.
