The Scorpio Full Moon is exact 12.56 pm ET. This full moon is the culmination of the energy that was kicked off with the Taurus New Moon a couple of weeks ago. That new moon invited high creativity to amplify projects, ideas, intentions and magnify love, abundance, and the new. So with this full moon, we integrate actual manifestation with creative transformation.

Scorpio energy is transformative. It drives us to consider the arc of our lives from birth to death and everything in between. And within that arc, there's many experiences we have, depending on the intensity of our life or the longevity of our life, the people who we get involved with throughout the lifetime; things are born and there are deaths. We have many stories, vignettes, sagas and little lifetimes in our lives.

And when I say little, it doesn't lessen their impact or vitality or meaning within our lives. But it does remind us that we are continually in a process of becoming more who we were meant to be, why we came here, what are what our goals, achievements, purpose.

A full moon like this reminds us to reflect on what is it that has transformed or what is up for us in our lives.

Some of us may be at a point where we look and we say: well, what exactly do I need to integrate? It's not that we radically alter our personalities, but we can become more tapped into our true voice. So depending on what's going on for you on the 12th, this might be a reflective day or when you work something that's intense, focused; so much can get done.

More on the podcast; astrology interpretation for the week…

As the week begins, it’s a good time to “grease the wheel”— notice what makes life run more smoothly… and what does not.

What routines, tools, or perspectives help you move with more ease? Some situations may call for re-evaluation or subtle adjustments.

Midweek into the weekend, you may feel a sense of fulfillment or increased ability to build momentum—especially if connected to whatever began during the Taurus New Moon.

Early in the week, consider shedding any habits, patterns, or attitudes that weigh you down. Is there anything that pulls you back or no longer fits your vision or ambition? Make space for something more aligned to bloom.

As the weekend nears, you may notice fresh energy rising. If you didn’t set a clear intention at the start of the lunar cycle, now is a productive time to ask: What wants more of my attention right now?

Or perhaps: Is there a possibility I am ready to entertain?

The beauty of this lunar cycle is its invitation to amplify love and creation. The more you align with that vibration, the more effortlessly you attract the right companions, collaborators, and opportunities—those that not only inspire ambition but help bring it to life.

We are opening the waxing moon cycle of the Taurus New Moon that occurs April 27 at 3:31 PM ET. I was struck as last week panned out, that we approach the Taurus New Moon on the day of Pope Francis’ funeral. His funeral was on a day when the moon approaches resonance with Earth Goddess energy.

Pope Francis valued women. From the onset of his papacy, he marked Mary Magdalene’s feast day July 22 as official (always acknowledged by those who admired her as a saint). He brought her into more visibility as the first apostle: the “apostle of the apostles” because she was the one who first saw Christ risen from the tomb.

I don't speak a lot about my faith of origin, but I have a very strong education in religion, not just Catholicism. At this point of my life, my interest and curiosity about rituals lead me to speculate on how such an old faith may continue and thrive.

I would love to see Catholicism open to an even more progressive pope, which the New Moon suggests is possible. I would also love to see President Trump soften his stance with Zelensky and Europe; may the resonance of loving energy that brought world leaders together on that day of the funeral provide that shift.

But however the power dynamic changes, the Taurus New Moon gave us a womb to spring from — your thoughts and wishes of positive growth are powerful.

We're still in the energy of that juicy New Moon to think in terms of what:

* you want to bring into your life

* who you want to attract

* what you deserve

Amplify that… it helps to find a spot in Nature and feel a part of the Source.

I can't encourage all of us enough to amplify the resonance of peace and love at this point in time. Emphasize fairness, peace, and the inherent value and worth of every living being on the planet. Right now there is a lot of noise that does not value human life, or the health of the earth and all animals and its environments.

Put optimism, energy and hope of this new moon into your personal life.
