Your Weekly Horoscope By Element - April 30 - May 6, 2012

This week, with the Full Moon in Scorpio, be ready to jump at the possibility of sudden and dramatic change. You may be confused by alternating waves of certainty and doubt as mental Mercury prompts you to act and speak spontaneously, without thinking. Although your perceptions are sharp, boundaries are fuzzy. Feisty Mars is casting a fire under everyone, through June, so it's time to get moving!

Conversations grow intense mid-week with Mercury's tense alignment with passionate Pluto on Wednesday. Remaining grounded is a must since trust might melt away if private information is made public. Don’t give away anyone’s secrets. A willingness to discuss difficult subjects can remove obstacles to expressing deep needs, while healing relationship wounds.

Scorpio is a Fixed Sign and creates a slow and steady accumulation of feeling instilling an all or nothing response that can feel like obsession. Sexuality, secrets, and scandal abound when the Moon waxes full in the eighth sign of the zodiac. Scorpio rules all things related to death, rebirth and metamorphosis, forcing us to relinquish the decaying aspects of ourselves and our lives. Once this is completed, we can move ahead into confidence and success.

We are being asked by the Divine to look at what no longer serves our highest good, and release any unhealthy attachments accordingly. Mercury in Aries and Saturn in Libra, have been opposing each other and come into an exact opposition on this Full Moon, May 5^th, forcing definitive decisions — if not forced ultimatums — in relationships. Communication is clear, deliberate, sometimes painful, and based on deep emotional courage.

This energy has tremendous regenerative potential in our most intimate relationships and compliments this mighty Scorpio influence. Destructive inclinations are also possible depending on how we handle this potent death and transition force. We must ask ourselves if that which we are tearing down is something we really want to relinquish or if we are just acting out of some deeply buried fear of loss. Scorpio is linked with both our creative and destructive urges. Thus the power of Pluto’s domain must be handled with the utmost caution and consciousness. This powerful energy may leave you wondering if you're heading in the right direction. You will know by the New Moon Eclipse on May 20^th.
