Tonight, at 8:59pm, the Full Moon in Scorpio opposes the Sun at 10 degrees of Taurus. These Fixed signs of the zodiac are known for their creative abilities: manifesting resources in Taurus and co-creating deeper relationships in Scorpio. Since Scorpio is a Water sign and the Moon is all about feelings, things could get intense. Avoiding aggressive, moody people is a must, as well as staying away from suspicions and jealousy! On the other hand, the depth offered by the Scorpio Moon can help reveal hidden assets, skills or talents necessary for moving ahead with a joint project.
Scorpio is also the sign on the ascendant for this chart, making the co-rulers, aggressive Mars and power-hungry Pluto, quite important players in any unfolding drama. Interestingly enough, these two rabble-rousers are hanging out with each other and only aspecting one other planet - Venus (love and/or money) in a difficult pattern known as a sesquiquadrate. This configuration has to do with the formation of a relationship between the two planetary bodies involved that results in a crisis requiring definitive action. So, ask yourself, did I just take on too much debt? What are you promising that you can't come through with? It's time to make a plan of action (Mars) to turn things around (Pluto).
There are several really welcoming things going on at this Full Moon that will enlighten us if we look honestly at our role in what's happening. The first thing is the Moon's conjunction with Jupiter in Scorpio, enhancing our kindness quotient and ability to be positive. The second is the Moon's sextile with Saturn, helping us care for those we have responsibilities to. Saturn represents authority figures and whether we're being one or answering to one right now, we had better own it! As ruler of the pragmatic Earth sign Capricorn, Saturn says use your resources wisely, take one step at a time and be patient... you will see progress!
There is so much going on behind the scenes, literally and figuratively, that's it's hard to make definitive plans right now. However, it's very important to know who you are aligned with, what your common goals are and what the next step is. I haven't seen a chart like this one in a long time, with so many aspect patterns, including a Grand Square pulling in all the Fixed signs, a Grand Triangle in Earth signs, morphing into a Kite pattern via sextiles to tonight's Full Moon in watery Scorpio, and a Yod, otherwise known as a Finger of God, that asks you to not over-identify with the group and instead to clarify your own course of direction. Allow, observe and be willing to take action when you see a clear path ahead.
In the meantime, say little, be kind to one another and remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.

The Exciting Aries New Moon Of Spring
Tonight's joining of the Sun and Moon in the first sign of the zodiac is about the promise of Spring, new life and new starts. Aries is an action sign and this New Moon will bring plenty of energy during the next lunar cycle to take action and direct our efforts forward. Bringing an innovative, and possibly surprising, assist to the Sun and Moon, is their coming together in the same sign with that rebel planet Uranus. A willful, yet resourceful energy, Uranus can now help with new solutions to breaking old habits and solving problems.
My excitement over this New Moon comes from its' potential for positive change and growth in a kind of out-with-the-old and in-with-the-new momentum. We can all use a change now and then and that's what the rebel planet can provide. Even though we don't always know what is coming and may not like what is presented to us, I believe on some level, we're ready for the shake-up. At this New Moon, ask yourself what do I need to begin and what direction do I want to move in? Then look for the appearance of a silver lining - this may be your chance to do something you've been wanting to do.
There are two cautionary notes here. The first is Mercury's stationary position today as he begins to turn in direct motion in Aries Keep in mind that we have had to slow down our thoughts, plans and communication over the last three and a half weeks while the Messenger of the Gods has been retrograde. Proceed with caution using any insight into yourself that you have gained during that time. As Mercury leaves its' shadow phase on May 3rd, you ought to have a pretty good idea of what plans merit your attention. You may find yourself entertaining several ideas, but remember you are in a trial phase and not all ideas will stick. In a months' time, Mercury joins Uranus at the last degree of Aries, giving you an opportunity to assess how you're doing with new starts and getting ready to focus your resources on just one or two; in the meantime, you're relying on research to see where you might get your toes wet.
The second thing to be aware of is that both the Moon and the Sun are coming out of an intensely challenging time, (a square to Pluto) that involves deep emotions, power and drama. It would be best to let go of the struggle and channel your pent up feelings, emotions and energy into a creative project, so that you don't alienate others. Power struggles are out, cooperation is in, and creativity is on the rise!
Remember to make a wish list of steps to take for ushering in the New Moon, as you keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground!
