After a season of introspection, delays, and mental fog, the skies begin to clear. The last Mercury Retrograde (in Aries) officially ends this week, and so does the stalling energy that had us second-guessing plans, conversations, and direction. Now, we re-enter the world of clarity — with renewed fire.
"Clarity Returns, Roots Deepen, and the Path Forward Opens.”
In true Western astrology fashion, this week delivers a bold but stabilizing fusion: Mercury stations direct in Aries, while the Sun continues its slow, sensual journey through Taurus. It’s time to act, but with presence. To move forward, but with integrity, grounding, and peace of mind.
We’re deep into grounded Taurus season. After weeks of miscommunication, delays, and inner processing, we’re finally beginning to see clearly, speak truthfully, and move forward—but we do so with new awareness.
Meanwhile, the skies remain active with grounded earth energy, Venusian charm, and a slow-burning power that supports manifestation, reflection, and sustainable change. This is not a week for rushing. It’s a week for realignment, rebuilding, and recommitting—with your whole heart.
Major Cosmic Transits This Week
Sun in Taurus (April 19 – May 20)
The Sun is now officially in Taurus, grounding us into earth’s rhythm. Taurus, ruled by Venus, invites beauty, simplicity, and calm after Aries’ fast-forward energy.
Use this time to:
Tend to your body, finances, and home
Slow down and appreciate the now
Rebuild with long-term value in mind
Reconnect with nature and art
Vibe: Comfort meets creation. Patience becomes power.
Mercury Stations Direct in Aries — April 25
Mercury ends its retrograde motion at 15° Aries, after three weeks of internal review, communication glitches, and lessons in assertiveness. This fire sign direct station reignites clarity, decision-making, and the will to move forward. Your thoughts sharpen. Your words return. Your plans, finally, begin to roll. Mercury Rx Shadow Tip: Be mindful of continued integration until around May 5, when the post-shadow fully clears. Still, this is your first breath of fresh air in communication, tech, travel, and contracts.
Watch for: Sudden clarity in relationships, instinctual decision-making, bold conversations.
Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius — April 23
This Moon phase is ideal for emotional detoxing, closing chapters, and preparing for the upcoming Scorpio Lunar Eclipse (April 25). This is a powerful prep phase for next week’s eclipse — trust what you’re ready to let go of. The Moon in Aquarius brings objectivity, insight, and the ability to detach from emotional chaos. Ask yourself:
Where am I too emotionally attached to an outcome?
What community or cause is no longer aligned?
How can I stay authentic in groups or teams?
ELEMENTAL ENERGY REPORT
Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Mercury going direct in Aries reignites your clarity and personal power. Expect a return of motivation, sharper instincts, and bold ideas. But Taurus season reminds you to pace yourself. Channel your fire into something sustainable. Big leadership moments are coming.
Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
You’re the stars of the season! Taurus energy keeps you grounded and present. This week helps you stabilize after recent emotional/mental turbulence. Focus on nurturing what’s secure, sensuous, and worth your energy. Your work may finally start gaining traction again.
Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
The Aquarius Moon helps you see situations with clarity, especially those that need release. Mercury direct allows for clearer thinking, though you may still feel like your footing is adjusting. Speak your truth—kindly, but firmly. Your voice matters now.

You're flowing between introspection and expression. As Mercury stations direct, relationship and emotional dynamics begin to make sense again. Use this week to journal, ground in your values, and prepare for the Full Moon Eclipse in Scorpio next week (big for you!).
