Full Moon Horoscopes

April 22-28, 2024

This week starts out building toward a powerful full moon in Scorpio. It perfects at 7:49pm EST on Tuesday. But you may feel it as early as Sunday evening or Monday and it will continue through mid to late week. Some say it’s the most powerful full moon of the year! Why? Because it’s tying up the eclipse energy and harkens back to the total Lunar Eclipse on April 8th. It offers us chance to wrap things up by taking a deep dive into our emotional body, and possibly driven with an intensity and focus toward doing the work that we need to do to get closer toward our goals. We have a chance to release things which no longer serve us with this lunation, and this helps to clear the air so that something new can come in. Like the eclipse…this full moon is ruled by Mars. That adds extra juice, more power, and some possible explosive or reactive type energy.

This full moon also carries a square with Pluto, which signifies personal transformation. It will allow you to change in some way for the better (and maybe learn something new about your evolution) if you can embrace the energy and just go with the flow. One way to do this is to look to the opposite sign of Pluto (in Aquarius), which is Leo, and work to incorporate that energy. The heaviness of the Pluto T-square formation actually releases and let’s go in Leo!

Leo is playful, creative, optimistic, loyal, and energetic when he’s at his best. In a T-Square, like the one with Pluto, Leo is saying not to take yourself so seriously. You can lead the pack, but make it a game. Find something fun to do and let your creativity lead the way! Be the clown, the star of the show, the one who is the center of attention. This can help you to let off a little steam and take a break for a bit from the intensity and focus that is Scorpio’s signature. That energy will still be present, but the more you can be playful with it, the easier it will be to get through it.

Here’s what’s happening for your zodiac sign:

Wherever you are, find your flow with your horoscope for the week. You can use your Ascendant or Sun Sign to start, but check in with your Mars, Venus, or Moon sign – as they may offer additional clues that may be helpful to you.

Aries

This full moon emphasizes deep transformation and a period of introspection for you. You may need some time alone as you will feel compelled to explore hidden truths or delve into matters related to intimacy and sharing. This moon gives a boost to your resourcefulness, and you may find that you are able to make something happen that you previously thought was impossible.

Taurus

Relationships, particularly intimate ones, may be under review for you this week. Issues of trust and intimacy could surface, leading to deeper connections or necessary changes. You see who your allies are, and alternately how others may also depend upon your steadfastness. These are resources that you need to become aware of for the future and the moon is showing you how to develop genuine and loyal ties.

Gemini

With this lunation you might become more aware of underlying health issues or areas of your routine that need transformation. This is a good time to address any emotional or physical imbalances so that you can be your best self. You should consider what steps you can take to improve your daily routines, health routines, and the care and keeping of yourself.

Cancer

This full moon might intensify your creative energy and romantic pursuits. You may feel more passionate and driven in these areas of life, perhaps seeking deeper connections or to take your artistic side further. Lean into the child-like and playful side of life, not taking things so seriously, and this can help any moodiness that may be coming in (given that Cancer is ruled by the moon). You are very intuitive at this time, so let the moon be your muse, and lead you through her ebbs and flows.

Leo

Issues within the family or related to your home life may come to the surface with this full moon. Emotional matters, especially those related to your roots and upbringing, could demand attention. Lean into the optimistic and sunny side of your personality and use it to be uplifting. This should help to clear any clouds that family drama may bring in. Remember that you control your own responses and don’t have to get carried away or take care of everyone else’s emotions.

Virgo

Communication may become more intense and focused this week. Sibling relationships could be highlighted, potentially leading to deeper conversations or conflicts that need resolution. Mercury is still retrograde so be careful of what you say and the emails/texts that you write. Try to listen more than you speak right now. Details will be coming through, and patterns illuminated that will help you change a pivotal part of your communication style with someone.

Libra

You might feel a strong urge to reassess your financial situation and investments. This could lead to deep introspection regarding your values and what truly matters to you. How do you spend your resources, both time and money? Is something missing? And alternately does something need to go? The moon is asking you to focus and to make a plan. This is a good time to assess balance and equality in your material possessions.

Scorpio

This moon may bring intense emotions to the surface, prompting you to delve deep into your own psyche. You may feel more passionate and driven to assert your identity than usual. Something has been brewing since the eclipse that is driving you to make changes at a personal level. You are becoming aware of a new modus operandus, i.e. a new way of being, and you may feel this moon helping you to shift into a new you!

Sagittarius

This full moon could bring deep-seated emotions to the surface, urging you to confront subconscious fears or patterns. It’s a good time for introspection and spiritual renewal. Lean into self-care practices and use music to help soothe your nerves. Take a nap and rest when you need to. This is a time to care for your physical and mental body, to dream and drift, and glorify in doing nothing.

Capricorn

This can be a time of deep introspection regarding your social circles and long-term goals. You may reassess your friendships and aspirations, seeking greater authenticity and depth. It may also be time to discard superficial friendships or connections that no longer serve you and where you’re going. The moon is showing you who is real and who is fake, so any intuitive nudges you have are showing you the truth of the matter.

Aquarius

Career matters may come to a head during this full moon, leading to intense emotions regarding your professional life and public image. You may feel driven to pursue your ambitions with greater intensity. Maybe you’ve been stalled out or hiding your light for some time, unsure of if or when you should move forward. This moon is saying it’s enough with the introspection, it’s time to move forward now.

Pisces

You might feel a strong urge to explore deeper philosophical or spiritual truths. Getting to the bottom of a belief system may be cathartic for you right now. It’s a good time for spiritual growth and expanding your horizons. Make plans to take a trip or further your education in some way.  Your sensitivity is very keen right now, more so than usual, so be sure to write down any good ideas or projects that you’d like to take on later.
