For the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities and are aware that something needs to be brought into alignment; the balance in question is between our physical attachments, aversions, and connections — symbolized by Taurus— and our emotional attachments, aversions, and connections (Scorpio).
Even though Eclipse season is long over, significant shifts and purges do continue.
Ask yourself: How might I stay calm in this uncertain climate, to support my sanity?
And keep in mind while Uranus has been traveling through Taurus (May 15, 2018 — July 7, 2025 & Nov. 7th, 2025 — April 2026) we have been invited to transcend outdated mindsets around money, values, and security.
Before we jump in, let me just mention May 14th’s Forecasting Forum:
We will discuss the long-term impact and importance of Saturn’s first pass through Aries for the first time in 27 years! Early Bird Special ends on the day of the Full Moon, May 12th at midnight EDT! Click here for more info or to register
This Full Moonshows us how far we have come, as well as what we might still need to release or transform, if we are to manifest what has begun at the time of the New Moon that occurred on April 27th.
Another thing to consider:Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, went retrograde on May 4th at almost 4 degrees of Aquarius — and its Station phase will still last until May 19th, which makes this planet more exalteduntil then.
Check to see what has been coming up since April 22nd when it comes to facing your fears and valuing yourself and your authentic relationships with others.
Ask yourself: What inauthentic (or even toxic) relationships must I still release or transform to step into greater abundance and happiness? What fears must likewise be released or transformed?
Pluto in Aquarius in its Retrograde phase is asking us to be authentic in our interactions and look at our own motivations for connecting with people, networks, affiliations, causes, etc.
Given this, ask yourself: Am I coming from love, inclusion, and an open heart? Or am I coming from fear, separation, and wanting to fight? Or protect?
This Full Moon will most likely stimulate our emotional body and increase our awareness of unconscious patterns and fears.
We may feel more easily triggered as buried emotions, motivations, and fears surface. Please be aware of projections and jumping to conclusions.
If you are unsure whether you are projecting something on someone else, check for defensiveness, over-reactivity, or difficulty being objective while exhibiting rigid behaviors.
There are several aspects worth mentioning in this Full Moon chart:
Pluto (the ruler of Scorpio) is currently in Aquarius — and highly exalted — squares Mercury in Taurus (exact), sextiles Neptune in Aries, and makes a wide opposition to Mars in Leo (this was at its strongest April 18-May 3rd and exact on April 26th, at the time of the last New Moon)
Mars (the co-ruler of Scorpio), currently in Leo,tries Venus in Aries and makes a wide Square to Mercury in Taurus (making Mercury the Focus Point of a T-Square)
Venus (the ruler of Taurus), currently in Aries, aligns with Neptune
The Moon in Scorpio opposes the Sun-Uranus alignment in Taurus, and trines Saturn and the North Node in Pisces
Last but not least, Saturn in a very late degree of Pisces aligns not only with the North Node in Pisces but also with Neptune in Aries and sextiles the Sun-Uranus alignment in Taurus
Again, the time of the Full Moon brings greater awareness to what was unconscious or hidden previously. This particular one invites us to let go of…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, May 5th:
Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo until 3:40pm EDT. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness…
So, hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, and tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic as best you can.
Monday at 9:03am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 6.5 hours, until 3:40pm EDT. We may feel pulled in two very different directions during this intuitive time.
On the one hand, we experience a need to connect with our inner child energy (creative self-expressions and joy); on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.
As such, we may have to address what we value in others and ourselves (which informs our self-worth); do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning until late afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 3:40pm EDT, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Thursday early morning, turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome.
We are generous with our time and services and love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.
Monday early afternoon, an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 1:21pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday night(May 3rd/4th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesdayevening (May 6th).
This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism — we share what’s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.
This connection also allows an expansion from stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo.
This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and expanding our perspectives. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more “philosophical” and open to learning.
As with any opportunity, we have to “take” it — it requires we take action. What could you do to instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is a new mental process asking to be explored? Are you ready to expand your mind? Your thinking?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-24 degrees of Aries, Gemini, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity; this is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

This week’s headline items: Pluto remains exalted all week. We still have time to set our New Moon Intentions on Monday and Tuesday, and starting Thursday, we can act on them. Venus changes signs again from Pisces to Aries on Wednesday afternoon; Mars will finally exit its post-Shadow phase very early Friday; Pluto comes to a halt late on Sunday morning, right after the first Quarter Moon in Leo becomes exact.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for a little over 1 hour), Wednesday late evening (for 3.5 hours), and Saturday early morning (for 3.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…
Last Saturday (April 26th), we had another STAR HOUR via the Soulivity community platform. We had a wonderful livestream call. If you missed it, feel free to watch the replay here.
This was a FREE event for anyone who is curious about Astrology, has questions about controversial issues, or has a hard time wrapping their head around something.
Our next Star Hour will be on May 31stat 12:30pm EDT ==> Save the Date!
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, April 28th:
Monday,the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. It will journey there until very early Tuesday(April 29th). We love all physical comforts and prefer consistency and sticking with what we know works well.
In other words, change is not our favorite thing, and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses.
Monday all day, will still be the best and most potent time to set your New Moon Intentions. If you’d like some input on how to do that, check out this article — to (re-) watch my New Moon video: click here.
Monday from 4:30pm – 12:30am EDT, we are asked to connect with people with similar values who can provide practical support for our visions and share what is important to us — in particular, what we envision for the future around money and finances.(Moon conjuncts Uranus in Taurus, exact at 8:33pm EDT)
Monday from 7:50pm – 1:50am EDT, we have an opportunity to focus on the subtle and the essential — and achieve flow around material wants and needs.
We are invited to practice a gentler, more intuitive approach, to go within and get in touch with our inner divinity, and to bring peace and inner knowingness to our financial goals and ability to honor ourselves.
Ask yourself: Could I trust my inner knowing (or intuition) 5% more than I have previously? What spiritual practices could support me on this journey inward? What am I being asked to give up for a stronger connection to my inner guidance?
We are also asked to connect with people with similar values who can provide practical support for our visions and share what is important to us — in particular, what we envision for the future around money and finances. (Moon in Taurus sextiles Saturn in Pisces, exact at 10:51pm EDT)
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, we enter a brief Moon VoC that lasts for a little over an hour, until 2:34am EDT (Tuesday very early morning). Use this short intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others in a gentle, compassionate way, and enjoy a good meal, a glass of wine, a massage… think “physical pleasures”.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning ahead of time.

On April 27th at 3:31pm EDT, the New Moon becomes exact in almost 8 degrees of Taurus. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. Click here to watch my video on the subject.

First, let me just say that Pluto, the planet most associated with transformation and the path towards greater inner power — is currently in Aquarius, and is exalted at the time of the New Moon (because it slows down for its yearly Retrograde phase)
Since Pluto will be exalted from April 22nd until May 19th, we will feel its powerful, transformative energy not only with this New Moon, but also very strongly with the next Full Moon which will be in Scorpio.
Squares signify important turning points that inspire us to shift our perspective and direction to make progress. They encourage us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond our previous boundaries and the comfort zones we have been in until now.
Taurus longs to take it easy and enjoy life. It loves comfort and a comfortable routine, physical and material safety, and security. So, how can we work with this “stretch” aspect and keep our cool?

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 5-10 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and not during a Moon void of course phase.
This month, the best and most potent time to set intentions would be between 3:32pm on Sunday, April 27th, and 3:31 pm on Tuesday, April 29th. The only exception will be a 1-hour period on Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, April 28/29th — there will be a brief Moon VoC between 1:18am and 2:34am. All of the above times are given in US East Coast time.
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US-Eastern Daylight Savings Time), join my Facebook Page or follow me on Instagram, Twitter (X), or Threads. I will post reminders on April 27th, 28th, and 29th — to let you know that it’s the best time to set your intentions.
Saturn’s first pass into Aries will occur on May 24th! It will journey there until Sept. 1st, 2025, and after dipping back into Pisces for 5 months, it will remain in Aries until April 2028!
What’s Asking for More Distance or Better Boundaries?
This week’s headline items: Eclipse Season has finally ended! However this is still an eventful week: Monday morning, Saturn aligns with the North Node in Pisces and Venus ends her station; Pluto starts to slow down (station) on Tuesday; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Thursday late morning; Mercury’s Shadow phase ends and Pluto’s station intensifies early Saturday; the third and last Mars-Pluto opposition of the Trilogy becomes exact on Saturday late evening. Finally, we have a New Moon in Taurus on Sunday afternoon.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early evening (for a little over 7 hours), Thursday late evening (4.5 hours), and Saturday afternoon (15 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…
At the end of this week, on Saturday, April 26th at 11:30am EDT/8:30am PDT/4:30pm London-time and April 27th at 1:30am Sydney Time — I will be doing another STAR HOUR via the Soulivity community platform
This is a FREE event for anyone who is curious about Astrology, has questions about controversial issues, or has a hard time wrapping their head around something. Invite Family and Friends; everyone gets something!
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day; it will journey there until Wednesday very early morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement.
Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.
Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius.
Again, we have our eyes on the future — or outer space… Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Eclipse season has finallyended!However, we will be experiencing some other quite powerful energies in the next two weeks, so it might feel as though we are still in Eclipse season lol.
Monday around 7:30am EDT, Saturn aligns with the North Node in Pisces (at 26º50′). We started to feel this alignment build on March 31st; it will remain strong until May 12th.
These conjunctions occur approximately every 11 to 12 years and signify important moments for integrating discipline and responsibility (represented by Saturn) with the evolutionary direction of the Soul indicated by the North Node.
The transiting North Node reflects our collective Soul’s journey — an area of our lives where we must grow, both individually and collectively. This growth can often feel daunting or uncomfortable; it requires effort on our part, but is rewarding in the end.
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and thus connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. It is in tune with all energies (high, low, inner, and outer), and is thus aware of the interconnectivity of all things.
At its highest vibration, Pisces unifies all dualities, revealing an unbreakable inner union we can access at any time. What exists within us also exists outside, and vice versa.
Here is a great quote for this aspect: “Our quest, our earth walk, is to look within, to know who we are, to see that we are connected to all things; that there is no separation, only in the mind” — Lakota Seer
In Pisces, this alignment between Saturn and the North Node asks us to pay particular attention to our connection with the divine and our intuitive knowing & connection to the Universe
Saturn brings a serious and practical tone to exploring our divine nature. After all, Saturn in Pisces wants to achieve spiritual mastery.
In silence, we feel the oneness with all there is and the unconditional love the Universe provides. Ask yourself: What is in the way of a connection to my inner divinity? What prevents me from slowing down? Turning inwards? Trusting my inner guidance?
Might plenty of downtime and rest support my reconnection to Source-energy? How about a connection to my intuitive Self? Might rest support my health on all levels?
Also on Monday, Venus resumes her normal pace through the sky, ending her Station phase. What came up in the last three weeks around self-worth? Finances? Social interactions? What did you feel? Or sense?
What came up around your relationship to Source? Or what you have been sensing and “feeling into”? Your spiritual well-being? Your intuitive knowing?
What have you discovered about honoring stillness or rest? What needs to be re-evaluated? What role do creativity and “being in the now” play in your life? How about connecting to nature?

This week’s headline items: Venus remains exalted all week; Mercury ends its Station phase on Monday, remaining in direct motion; Mercury changes signs from Pisces to Aries again very early Wednesday; Mars changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Thursday night; the Sun changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Saturday afternoon. Sunday is an eventful day, astrologically speaking, with the last Quarter Moon in Aquarius becoming exact and several other planetary aspects to discuss.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for 13 minutes), Friday morning (for almost 3 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for 6 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…
We covered the third and last of the Mars-Pluto oppositions in the Trilogy, as well as Mercury & Venus ending their various Retrograde phases moving forward again.
Monday, the Moon remains in deeply passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpioall day; it will journey there until next Tuesday late evening (April 15th).
Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us now; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as 100% dishonest.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us.
This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
The Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”, etc. It can, therefore, be stormy — a cold winter storm or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies.
Monday, Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky, after a 3-week Retrograde phase — ending its Station phase in Pisces. Communication and transportation are now back to “normal,” as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.
New ideas and information received during the Mercury Retrograde phase (March 15th – April 7th) can now be reviewed.
Mondayfrom 9:05pm- 1:05am EDT, we are invited to make some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice requires us to cultivate awareness of two very different urges…
On one hand, we want to broaden our perspective in our daily thinking and interactions. On the other hand, we need to be emotionally authentic with others and deepen our understanding of ourselves and what motivates us. (Moon in Scorpio quincunxes Jupiter in Gemini, exact at 11:06pm EDT)

This week’s headline items: Mercury and Venus both come to a standstill this week, ending their retrograde and beginning their Post-Shadow phases. Mercury does so on Monday morning, and Venus follows suit on Saturday after her station intensifies on Wednesday. This means that Mercury and Venus will both remain exalted all week. On Saturday evening, a Full Moon in Libra becomes exact — and beginning Sunday, all planets will be in forward motion until May 4th.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for 9.5 hours), Thursday afternoon (for almost 5.5 hours), and Sunday morning (for almost 4 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…
Our Forecasting Forum will be LIVE this week! On Saturday, April 12th at 12:30pm PDT/9:30am EDT/5:30pm London-time and April 12/13th at 2:30am Sydney Time. This webinar is titled: “Ambition & Drive”
We will cover the third and final Mars-Pluto opposition in the Trilogy, as well as the conclusion of the Retrograde phases for Mercury and Venus as they move forward again.
Reflect on the themes of transformation and empowerment that Pluto invites us to bring forth, offering clarity on how this energy may manifest in your personal chart. Reserve your spot today and unlock powerful tools for growth and self-alignment.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, April 7th:
Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day; it will journey there until Tuesday late morning. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.
We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness… So, hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, and tell them how much you love them.
Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.
If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s easier for the next two-and-a-half days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun?
What would be so much fun that you let out a tiny squeak just thinking of it?
Monday morning, a Venus/Saturn alignment in 25 degrees of Pisces becomes exact at 7:01am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening (March 31st) on; it will be strong until May 1st — an unusually long time due to Venus’ Station phase.
This alignment brings a sense of maturity and commitment to our relationship with the divine. We might also feel more committed to helping the less fortunate.
This might not be the best time to get involved in a brand-new relationship, as we are more committed to our inner processes now; in fact, this might be a good time to release any relationships that no longer align with our Soul’s desire for unity and heartfelt connections.
Ongoing relationships feel stable and steady, with a heightened sense of realism and responsibility. Although feelings might flow internally, they might be expressed reservedly, formally, or sparingly.
A sense of duty may lead us to sacrifice a personal pleasure to something greater than ourselves or someone less fortunate.
Ask yourself: What or who supports me in trusting my inner divine knowing? What or who doesn’t?
What relationships do I genuinely want to commit myself to? Which ones are asking for more distance or better boundaries?
What tools or structures support me in being in the flow, fully present, and open to guidance from “higher places”?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC), or personal planets in 22-28 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.
This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)
Monday at 7:08am EDT, Mercury comes to a halt again at almost 27 degrees of Pisces — ending its 3-week Retrograde phase (which began on March 15th at 9.5 degrees of Aries), and slowly starts its direct motion again.
As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind, and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now — you may need to address those issues again when Mercury moves through its post-Shadow phase — more on that in a moment…
We are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective.
Ask yourself: What did I learn about myself? What was I able to release that no longer supports my growth? Was I able to recognize where I needed to show leadership? Where do I need to demonstrate more independence?
Was there anything I needed to accept, forgive, or change in order to advance to the next level? What insights have I gained about trusting my inner guidance, regardless of others’ opinions? Where do I need to step a little further outside of my comfort zone?
What did my inner dialog teach me? How might I share my findings in a healthy way?
When Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by April 14th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.
Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 24-29 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius.
Monday after 7:08am EDT, Mercury’s post-Shadow phase begins — lasting until April 25th…. as you may recall, I mentioned Mercury Shadow phases in this update a few weeks back:
If you want to buy, sell, or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde, and after it goes direct.
This is especially true if the items are connected to travel, physical activities, technology, transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.), or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) Click here to read my blog on the subject.
Monday night at 12:08am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for 9.5 hours, until 9:40am EDT (Tuesday late morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.
Make space for creative self-expression and fun, and also for pursuing your financial vision — and for breaking free from outdated value systems.
To break free from outdated value systems, you may have to address what we value in others and yourself (the latter informs your self-worth).
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late evening/night ahead of time

"Thank you for the awesome webinar, Sonja. I really enjoyed the full interactive experience. Having this real time exchange makes a huge difference to the learning and understanding of all these patterns and energies. I love the question and answer section, especially since we get some advance indication of what the topics will be. I have been an amateur astrologer for many years but I learned an awful lot very quickly in this setting. So much fun. See you next time!"

On May 12th at 12:56pm EDT, the Moon in 22 degrees of Scorpio opposes the Sun in 22º of Taurus. The entrance of the Moon into Scorpio on May 10th in the afternoon begins the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.
This week’s headline items: Pluto remains exalted all week; Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Saturday morning. The Moon starts to build towards the Full Moon late on Saturday afternoon.
This week’s headline items: Pluto remains exalted all week. We still have time to set our New Moon Intentions on Monday and Tuesday, and starting Thursday, we can act on them. Venus changes signs again from Pisces to Aries on Wednesday afternoon; Mars will finally exit its post-Shadow phase very early Friday; Pluto comes to a halt late on Sunday morning, right after the first Quarter Moon in Leo becomes exact.
On April 27th at 3:31pm EDT, the New Moon becomes exact in almost 8 degrees of Taurus. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. 
This week’s headline items: Eclipse Season has finally ended! However this is still an eventful week: Monday morning, Saturn aligns with the North Node in Pisces and Venus ends her station; Pluto starts to slow down (station) on Tuesday; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Thursday late morning; Mercury’s Shadow phase ends and Pluto’s station intensifies early Saturday; the third and last Mars-Pluto opposition of the Trilogy becomes exact on Saturday late evening. Finally, we have a New Moon in Taurus on Sunday afternoon.
This week’s headline items: Venus remains exalted all week; Mercury ends its Station phase on Monday, remaining in direct motion; Mercury changes signs from Pisces to Aries again very early Wednesday; Mars changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Thursday night; the Sun changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Saturday afternoon. Sunday is an eventful day, astrologically speaking, with the last Quarter Moon in Aquarius becoming exact and several other planetary aspects to discuss.
This week’s headline items: Mercury and Venus both come to a standstill this week, ending their retrograde and beginning their Post-Shadow phases. Mercury does so on Monday morning, and Venus follows suit on Saturday after her station intensifies on Wednesday. This means that Mercury and Venus will both remain exalted all week. On Saturday evening, a Full Moon in Libra becomes exact — and beginning Sunday, all planets will be in forward motion until May 4th.
