Weekly Astrology Forecast for April 9–15, 2023* — A Major Silver Lining

Hey star-gazers! Buckle up for a bumpy week — though one with a pretty big silver lining.

As we drift down from last week’s harmonious Libra Full Moon, Luna’s more volatile start to the week in the last degrees of Scorpio could leave us feeling vulnerable. With Mars in Cancer making a sign-based quincunx to the Moon in Scorpio — and with both planets in mutual reception by fall —don’t expect either to lend you a helping hand in whatever emotional disarray the weekend leaves you in.

The Moon in Scorpio may find you emotionally isolating, under attack, or even considering whether expressing your feelings in a present circumstance will get you anywhere. With the God of War doused in the deep-feeling waters of Cancer, you may be thinking that confronting whatever and whoever’s got your goat won’t amount to much. Side-stepping the issue in true crab-like fashion could be what this configuration demands.

This celestial signature could be echoed in the retrograde Ceres-in-Virgo-Neptune-in-Pisces opposition, which might have you misjudging a current predicament. An opposition to Neptune can also spell a lack of strategic focus, an inability to think clearly, or a heightened propensity to get dreary-minded about certain outcomes in our lives.
