scorpio Monthly Horoscope

April - Scorpio, April brings forth epic changes to your daily life, career, and relationships. You'll finally have the energy and inspiration to make significant, sweeping changes. If you've been struggling to implement routine in your life, this season comes with the tools needed to get the work done. Don't let anyone slow you down and if they doubt you, focus, and keep your eye on the prize. However, if you go too hard you'll experience burnout. So pace yourself and trust your intuition. 

Mercury starts the month by turning retrograde on the 1st. Although everyone likes to cast doom and gloom on retrogrades. These are necessary periods to revamp your approach and realign your goals. On the 4th, Venus enters Aries and brings a soft touch to retrograde. However, issues surrounding self-worth, jealousy, and power dynamics in relationships are at play. Be aware of these potential challenges so you can constructively work through them. If you are willing to face your fears, you will experience fulfillment, along with a much deeper understanding of yourself and others. 

To add to this energy, a solar eclipse arrives on the 8th, illuminating a brand-new cycle to get rid of toxic, unhealthy habits or work routines that never supported success. You are more sensitive to your bodily feelings, both spiritually and physically. This may be a time of spiritual healing, which will shake you out of your mundane routine and spice up your life. Ask yourself, "Is my work life missing something?" or "How can I achieve a greater connection or purpose?" or "How can I make every day a sacred ritual?" Trust in the subtle nudges and ground yourself. Eclipses are destined times and since it's a New Moon, you can expect confidence to finally welcome beginnings, instead of fixating on endings.

Mars, your ruling planet meets Saturn on the 10th; creating slight confusion in the realm of creativity, children, and romance. Saturn's transits can be quite demanding, and this one is about discipline, commitment, and a strong work ethic. Your Mars desires such as confidence, sexual energy, passion, and vitality may feel stifled. However, this is just a brief intermission to structure your drive and motivation toward your goals. 

On April 17th, Venus links with the Node Node, activating a fresh chapter of love, and relationships, aligned with your life's purpose and higher values. With an opposition to the South node, there is karmic tension between relationships and desires. Since Taurus season begins on the 19, along with a Jupiter-Uranus union in Taurus on the 21, you'll have all the support needed to bring about exciting changes in your relationships and future. 

Taurus season focuses on one-on-one connections. You could be zeroing in on shared investments and opportunities. Or getting the ball rolling on goals with friends, business, or family. Either way, when you spend time reflecting on how you show up within your connections and how others show up for you, a newfound sense of inspiration and self-worth takes over your life. 

Taurus is your sister opposite sign, so celebrate and party like it's your birthday. And thanks to a Full Moon in your sign on the 23rd, you'll feel like you own this season. The Full Moon in your sign is an excellent way to release baggage and channel emotions to healthy outlets. There's a deep-rooted desire to say what's on your mind, even if it means saying difficult things. If you have to upset someone, know that if you are coming from your heart, a place of authenticity and truth, you are doing the right thing. There is a good way and a bad way to get your point across. Which one do you choose? Because what matters is expressing your feelings to clear your mind and move forward. In addition, your brand could receive a much-needed update. 

Things move in a different direction when Mercury turns direct on the 25th. Challenges or issues having to do with creative focus resolve and turn out to be only temporary delays. 

Lastly, Venus enters Taurus on the 29, along with Mars entering Aries on the 30. This is pretty special since both planets are in their ruling signs. You can expect spikes in emotions and passions. This transit is ideal for exploring your darkest desires and deepest fears. If you are single, it's the perfect time to let your wild side out and attract exciting partners. If you're already in a relationship, get ready to spice things up and explore intimacy on a deeper level. Legal topics and contracts are potential during this time. 

Meanwhile, Mars in Aries boosts your health and vitality. And with more physical energy and stamina than usual, you'll find it's the right time to take up a new health regimen- something like Qigong or Tai Chi. Your willpower receives a boost too, so it's easier to break habits and stick to healthier ones. Think about the changes you need to make to become a physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually better you. 

In summary, April brings exactly what you need to keep moving forward after challenges or setbacks. If you are feeling cloudy or not trusting yourself, spend time journaling, meditating, or unplugging from social media. 

Self-care tip: Prioritize your well-being by transforming your eating habits. Focus on nourishing your body with fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Avoid processed foods and sugary snacks to maintain energy levels and enhance vitality. 

April's affirmation: " I commit to nurturing my physical and emotional well-being, embracing healthy eating to support my journey. I find strength and stability in the consistency of good habits and routine."
