Ready to release the heavy emotions and unresolved issues from the past lunar cycle? This week begins with a purifying Full Moon in Scorpio that invites deep reflection and meaningful introspection — the perfect catalyst for starting a new, energized lunar chapter.
The week opens on an intense note with the Full Moon in Scorpio on April 26. Scorpio’s energy, governed by Pluto, emphasizes transformation and inner truth. This lunation encourages you to look beneath the surface, acknowledge hidden feelings, and confront what’s been quietly shaping your inner world.
This Full Moon is an ideal moment to release grudges and old resentments, creating space for fresh opportunities and renewed joy.
On April 27, Pluto — Scorpio’s ruling planet — turns retrograde.
Pluto’s retrograde often brings a process of inner unlayering. Parts of your life or identity that no longer serve you may feel as if they’re dissolving. Though that can feel unsettling, it clears the way for healing, compassion, and greater clarity.
Another notable transit on April 30 finds the Sun in Taurus conjunct Uranus in Taurus. This alignment sparks change, excitement, and a desire for freedom. It’s an invitation to break routine, be adventurous, and reconnect with a playful, curious side of yourself.
April 26 – May 2: A Week to Release Old Habits and Emotions
This Full Moon in Scorpio centers on inner discovery and letting go. Spend time examining your motives, fears, and attachments. Identify what you can release and take practical steps to unburden yourself.
Carrying past pain only slows your progress toward contentment and success. Choose to loosen the grip of those memories so you can move forward with a lighter heart.
Let your body, heart, and mind be free of what has held you back.
Drop whatever weighs on your spirit and give yourself permission to explore the world unencumbered. Your essence is ready to shine more brightly now.
