Tuesday 04/23

• ☽ ▻ Scorpio | 11:19 am eastern
• ☽ at 02° 05‘ Scorpio □ ♇ at 02° 05‘ Aquarius | 3:27 pm eastern

Tuesday we have a Scorpio Full Moon at 7:48 pm eastern. The entire day will probably be pretty intense.

Themes of control, transformation, and release are likely to come up urging you to confront underlying power dynamics and potentially hidden elements in relationships or projects. Are there conversations or decisions you've been avoiding that need to be addressed?

With Mars conjunct Neptune in Pisces ruling the Full Moon, just be aware that knowing what action to take might be muddled. Absolutely tap into intuitive insights but also fact check and be patient.

Wednesday has a flow and stability to it that makes it a good day for making steady progress on projects that require both emotional intelligence and practical application.

Mostly.

The thing is, tomorrow Mercury stations direct which means the next three days have the potential to be extra when it comes to shenanigans related to Mercury retrograde (tech issues, shipping delays, communication snafus)

Thursday there is the potential for unexpected revelations and shifts in perspective. 

With Mercury turning direct at 8:54 am eastern, clarity begins to return, helping to make communication less confusing and decision-making easier. 

It’s a good day to address any misunderstandings that have come up over the last month and begin to move forward with a clearer sense of direction.

To help you get started:

• What recent misunderstandings or breakdowns in communication do you want to clear up?
• Is there a decision or conversation you've been postponing that might be easier to tackle now?
• How can insights from the past month improve your communication moving forward?

Friday 04/26

Friday is about embracing new perspectives and deep insights. You might find yourself intrigued by unusual ideas or drawn to exploring topics that challenge the norm - like Venus Unveiled: Women, Love, and the Pursuit of Pleasure a bonus course available exclusively for members of The Crusade. 

In general, it's a good day to explore new topics, tackle complex problems at work, or have conversations that open up unexpected possibilities.

Saturday conversations should be engaging and new ideas flowing which makes it a perfect day for brainstorming. 

However, be ready for some challenges or delays that may require a strategic approach or assertive push to overcome.

Sunday starts off a bit foggy but at 5:37 am eastern the Moon moves into Capricorn and the day becomes infinitely more productive.  

There’s a focus on steady progress and practical tasks making it a great day for planning and organization. Take some time to think about whether or not your daily actions are helping you get closer to your long-term goals - and plan the upcoming week with that in mind.

Until next time, my wish for you is a wild passionate love affair with the truth. -Robin💋

Venus Unveiled: Women, Love, and the Pursuit of Pleasure will explore astrological interpretations of Venus, challenging the traditional dichotomy of good and bad placements. 

This bonus class is the first in the Astrology Unveiled Series: Feminism, Neurodiversity, and Challenging Patriarchal Constructs.

Over the next year I will be teaching a variety of bonus classes that will only be available to Crusaders.

This course encourages a critical examination of how societal norms have shaped our understanding of love, desire, femininity, and the role of women. Students will learn to appreciate the diverse expressions of Venus, recognizing that so-called challenging placements often reflect a departure from societal expectations rather than inherent negativity. Through this exploration, the class aims to provide a nuanced understanding of Venus's influence across different signs and houses.
