It could be a tricky week with a Lunar eclipse, Sun/Uranus conjunction, Mercury retrograde, and a few tough aspects with Venus, so, when possible, enjoy the moment and build up strength and resilience. Hold hands and enjoy the spring sunshine.

Friday brings a moody full Moon in Scorpio — lunar eclipse which can help us shift gears if we’re stuck, helps us adapt to new circumstances already underway, but can also precipitate unexpected changes. Like the spring burning of fields and ditches this eclipse can clear the ground for new growth as it releases last year’s crop in a rather flammable way. Expect dramatic statements in the headlines and shuffling of personnel, a breakdown of what is not stable so that we can rebuild on more solid ground.

But let’s get specific, we don’t have to burn the house down to make a change. Because Mercury is still retrograde, it’s good to use this time to consider possibilities, clean the house and clear the ground but wait to pursue the future towards the end of the month.

After this clearing Friday and early Saturday, the Moon enters Sagittarius and calls us out to frolic where we can. Wander and garden, be amazed by the budding natural world. We could be called to speak our truth or share at a new level of personal honesty, but remember that words have consequences, so let’s make them good ones.
