Hey {{first_name | Stargazer}},

This past Friday’s Scorpio Full Moon showed you what was hiding. This week is what you do with it. Wednesday is the headliner: Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius at 5°30', and the next five months turn inward. Whatever Pluto has been demanding from your public life becomes a private excavation. Sunday closes with Sun in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer. Money lands. Family softens. Something practical works out.

In this issue:
🔮 Weekly horoscopes for all 12 signs
🔦 Cosmic Close: The names and confessions the Full Moon surfaced for you

♈ ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
Mars in your sign squares Jupiter on Monday and the energy you've been building wants to explode outward. Resist. The impulse is strong, the timing is bad. Pluto retrograde Wednesday in your 11th house starts a five-month review of who's actually in your circle and which alliances are real. By Sunday, the Sun-Jupiter sextile drops something practical and warm into your lap.

♉ TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Your Sun sextiles Jupiter on Sunday and the week ends with a quiet financial or domestic win. Earlier, Mercury in your sign squares Pluto on Tuesday, asking you to think slower than you want to. A conversation about power gets uncomfortable but useful if you stay patient. Pluto retrograde Wednesday in your 10th house reroutes your career ambition inward for five months. The public version pauses. The private rebuild begins.

♊ GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
Belief, education, or a long-held worldview goes under the microscope when Pluto stations retrograde in your 9th house on Wednesday. The five-month review starts now. Mars square Jupiter on Monday makes your communication sharper than you intend, so choose your audience carefully. Uranus is now in your sign and the identity revolution continues, but this week the work is mental.

♋ CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Jupiter is in your sign and Sunday's Sun sextile is a gift directly to you. Something benevolent arrives. Earlier in the week, Monday's Mars-Jupiter square hits hard, with Mars in your 10th house pushing impulsive career moves. Wait. Pluto retrograde Wednesday in your 8th house begins a deep five-month review of debts, intimacy, and shared resources. The thing you've been managing privately wants restructuring.

♌ LEO (July 23 – August 22)
Partnership goes under glass when Pluto stations retrograde in your 7th house on Wednesday. The relationship work that started last year goes inward for the next five months, and the version of partnership you're outgrowing reveals itself in private. Sunday's Sun-Jupiter sextile gives your creative life a small, easeful lift. The real story this week is what Pluto is showing you about who you choose to stand next to.

♍ VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
Mercury, your planet, squares Pluto on Tuesday and a conversation goes deeper than you wanted it to. The slow approach wins. Pluto retrograde Wednesday in your 6th house begins five months of dismantling work patterns or health habits that are quietly draining you. Sunday's Sun-Jupiter sextile opens your 9th house with a chance to learn, travel, or expand a perspective you've been holding too tightly.

♎ LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
Venus, your planet, opposes Lilith on Wednesday and a relational dynamic you've been polite about gets impolite. The unspoken thing about how much space you take up surfaces. Pluto retrograde the same day in your 5th house starts a five-month review of creativity, romance, and what you actually want to make. Sunday closes the week with a quiet financial easing that takes some pressure off.

♏ SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
Your traditional ruler Pluto stations retrograde Wednesday in your 4th house and the home, family, or root-system work goes inward for the next five months. Whatever Friday's Full Moon exposed now needs a private follow-up that no one else gets to witness. Mars square Jupiter Monday makes you reactive about something you usually keep contained. Walk away before you wreck it.

♐ SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
On Monday, Mars in your 5th house squares Jupiter, your ruler, and the impulse to do something dramatic about a person, project, or risk is loud. It's not wrong. It's just early. Pluto retrograde Wednesday in your 3rd house reroutes how you communicate, learn, and hold information for the next five months. Sunday's Sun-Jupiter sextile opens a soft window in your relationships.

♑ CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
Money, values, and self-worth go under review when Pluto stations retrograde in your 2nd house on Wednesday. Not a crisis. A clarifying. Mercury square Pluto Tuesday brings the financial conversation out into the open and the slow approach wins. Sunday's Sun-Jupiter sextile in your 5th house gives you something to enjoy that you didn't have to earn.

♒ AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This is your retrograde. Pluto stations in your sign Wednesday at just over five degrees and the identity work you've been doing publicly turns private for the next five months. The version of yourself you're becoming is being built where no one else can see it. Venus opposes Lilith the same day and a relationship reveals what you've been quietly tolerating. Sunday's Sun-Jupiter sextile lifts the home tone after a heavy mid-week.

♓ PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
Sunday's Sun sextile Jupiter is a gift in your 3rd house. A conversation, a message, a piece of news arrives easily. Pluto retrograde Wednesday in your 12th house begins five months of subconscious archaeology, where the pattern you can't quite name finally starts naming itself. Mars square Jupiter Monday makes you reactive about money, but waiting two days lets the impulse pass on its own.

Friday's Full Moon asked one question. Who is this Full Moon putting in the spotlight? You answered with names, with confessions, with sentences that took a lot of nerve to send. Here's what surfaced.

The biggest theme wasn't a person. It was you.

Over and over, the spotlight landed on the relationship readers had with themselves.

One reader: "The Full Moon is putting my relationship with myself in the spotlight, and all the ways I shrink to make others comfortable and happy. I'm no longer willing to abandon myself. Boom."

Jillian named it differently: "My relationship with myself, my anxiety, my own dreams, and the truth of myself that I was never given time to find out because of having to be the adult for everyone else. It's about time."

Kim wrote: "I keep thinking and coming back to me. I want it to be my turn. I want it to be my health to think about for a while. I want it to be my priorities, not my household. It seems so hard to do."

Scorpio Full Moons illuminate what's been buried, and what's been buried for a lot of you is yourselves.

The names you said out loud.

Justin. Freddy. Shaun. Mike. Richard. Shannon. Chad. The Full Moon doesn't ask you to do anything about a name. It just asks you to admit the name exists. Some of you wrote one word and hit send. That counts.

One reader wrote about their partner: "It always comes back to him and the relationship we should be having, but aren't." That sentence is a Scorpio Full Moon distilled. The relationship that exists in your head and the one that exists in reality are two different relationships, and Friday’s moon made you see the gap.

The long-haul partnerships under the light.

A reader on the edge of divorce for almost three years: "The tension is so thick it's painful. I've watched the charts for both of us. I doubt there is hope left." Another reader, seven years in: "I can't keep drowning trying to keep his head above water anymore." A third, married twenty-five years, answered the question with one word: "We. Because that includes me."

Three different stages of the same arc. The one who's leaving, the one who's still inside it, the one who's chosen to stay and is naming herself inside the choosing. All three responses are honest. None of them is the wrong answer.

The grief.

One reader: "Been thinking about my departed husband, day and night, and very sad all week."

If you've been carrying grief through this Full Moon and wondering why everything feels heavier, you're not alone in this inbox. Scorpio rules the things we don't put down. Sometimes the Full Moon doesn't show you a person to confront. It shows you a person to keep loving.

The body keeping the score.

F. wrote about waiting for biopsy results, lack of sleep, anxiety living in her body. The Full Moon found her on the hardest week. She wasn't asking the cosmos for an answer. She was naming what was already there.

If you're waiting on a result, a test, a phone call, the Scorpio Full Moon was holding that with you. So were a lot of other readers.

The wins.

Sophie wrote: "Spot on for relationships, family and friends. I've been working on both, and the work is paying off."

Someone has to be the one whose Full Moon shows up as proof that the work is working. Sophie was that reader this week. Next time, it might be you.
