If you're reading this, you’ve successfully survived Mercury retrograde! Give yourself a round of applause and take a bow for a job well done. The planet of communication ends its moonwalk in Pisces on April 7. From this moment on, we will be going over misunderstandings in order to course correct them and to gain clarity in matters. The same day, Venus retrograde and Saturn form an alliance in Pisces, urging us to be honest about our finances and relationships. On April 8, Venus retrograde corresponds with Uranus in Taurus, advising us to break out of old patterns and to create a cohesive structure to our routines. Mercury connects with the North Node of Destiny on April 10. Fate plays a hand on the 10th. We might meet someone who will be a pivotal part of our future or sign a contract that will be significant in the months to come. The Full Moon in Libra occurs on April 12, instructing us to take action in how we partner and relate to others. Less than an hour later, Venus turns direct in Pisces, ending the retrograde story that began on March 1. Now that Venus is moving forward, we will start to make choices about how we want to proceed in our financial planning, our professional aspirations, and our partnerships. Do what feels right in your heart!

Witch tip:

Gather loved ones around you and create a moon circle in preparation for the Full Moon on April 12th Connecting with others is essential at this moment in time because it will give you a chance to be heard and seen as you make decisions that will augment your life. Not only that, but being a part of the community is going to help you move through the healing and transformational process with ease as well as set intentions for the future.

Libra Full Moon “Give & Take” Tarot Pull

Do a 2-card spread:

Card 1: What am I over-giving?
Card 2: What am I not receiving enough of?

The “Give + Take” tarot spread is especially powerful under the Libra Full Moon, because it helps illuminate where your energy is out of balance, especially in relationships, work, or self-care.

Aries

Your intimate partnerships will likely consume your mind now, making you more focused on your significant other and the fate of your situation than any other obligations. It is time to put them first and discuss how you can improve dynamics to cultivate a better understanding of each other’s needs.

Taurus

With patience and your naturally sharp wits, you'll be able to look internally at what aligns with your current path in life. You might have to turn over some rocks and really look into what you want for yourself, which requires deep introspection — only if you're up for the task.

Gemini

Be extra cautious not to offend any of your acquaintances and connections. Think matters through before expressing them to avoid conflict. This energy could affect your professional and intimate relationships. Try kindness this week to ensure that you're not fighting unnecessary battles that are not worth your time and energy.

Cancer

The Full Moon will increase your desire to win at all professional undertakings that are coming your way in the days ahead. But the question is: Are you ready? Also, you may not want to be a part of the politics at work now. Consider this sentiment before moving onward.

Leo

Your heart will begin to soften, and your walls will likely dissolve a bit, making us more emotionally accessible. The Full Moon in Libra ends the week on a reflective note, allowing you to make up your mind on a romantic matter. This means saying what you feel is pivotal.

Virgo

Be careful not to overspend frivolously when Venus turns direct. Just because you have cash in your pockets doesn't mean you should not budget. Money comes and goes, but if you stick to a financial plan, you can attain monetary success. Then, you can have funds for a rainy day.

Libra

This is a perfect cycle to show the world what you've got! Harness the energy of the Full Moon to your creative and artistic benefit. There is no greater delight for you to experience than a bit of influential cosmic inspiration. You are being steadily guided along this incredible path.

Scorpio

Setting boundaries with others is necessary. Be sure to adhere to them and show them the same respect. If not, the week will induce conflicts brewing between you both because issues are being swept under the carpet. Be respectful of those you admire to gain the same accommodation in return.

Sagittarius

The beginning of the week is pretty busy for you, especially regarding networking within your community. Use the energy to analyze your circle and figure out who is and is not a genuine friend. The more you trust those worthy of your time and love, the more supported you'll be.

Capricorn

Work matters are calming down this week, allowing you to focus on the more creative aspects of your job. The only issue is that your colleagues may leave their current posts at the end of the week, during the Full Moon, leaving you with some of their workload to complete.

Aquarius

This week sparks fresh thoughts around philosophical concepts such as manifestation, luck, karma, and responsibility. This energy will hit you in an innate cerebral level, creating a thirst for information that will leave you wanting to discover a new path toward knowledge. You can use these insights to move forward.

Pisces

The days ahead bring you all the passion you crave — even some theatrics when it comes to your seemingly stagnant love life. The romantic shakeup will boost your desires and open you up to having more fun with friends in the backend of the week when Venus turns direct.
