Your horoscope for the week of April 21 to 27 begins with a crash, bang, and boom, but it all quiets down as the week comes to an end. You’re coming away from the shaky and erratic energy of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, and as unexpected transitions continue to play out for the next few weeks, anything can happen. Drama has been at a fever pitch lately, but it’s all clearing away blockages that have been inhibiting your freedom.
The week kicks off with the Taurus sun forming a tense square to Pluto in Aquarius on April 21. Since Pluto is the planet of transformation and rebirth, this could irritate the parts of yourself that remain inflexible to change. It could your overwhelm sense of security by pushing you out of your comfort zone and forcing you to see the world through a new lens. Life-altering information is being brought forward and your usual instincts are being challenged. I don’t know about you, but I’m already feeling uncomfortable (and slightly scared)!
This will be immediately followed by a full Pink Moon in Scorpio. This fixed water sign is concerned with uncovering secrets, discovering hidden truths, and maintaining control. That means this full moon should shine a light on hidden agendas, making everyone’s true intentions known. Prepare for shocking revelations to come to light. If you play your cards right, this powerful new source of information could not only benefit you, but the world at large.
You’ll want to take a load off by April 25, because things will start to lighten up as Mercury retrograde finally comes to an end at exactly 8:53 a.m. ET. Stationing direct at 15 degrees of Aries, this retrograde was particularly tiresome, as Aries is a zodiac sign with a whole lot of pride, which is one reason it led to an influx of ego-driven disagreements. And because Mars—Aries’ fiery planetary ruler—was sitting beside inhibiting Saturn for the duration of this retrograde, it’s likely that you’ve felt stuck between a rock and a hard place. Luckily, that post-retrograde clarity is about to hit, so get ready for all that pressure to become a diamond.
