After weeks of intense energy, confrontation and frustration, the clouds are parting and there\u2019s blue(ish) skies ahead. With Taurus season under way, that \u201churry TFU\u201d pressure eases. While it hasn\u2019t entirely disappeared\u2013Mercury and Venus are still in Aries after all\u2013it should feel more like the exception rather than the rule.<\/p>\n

The full moon on April 23 looks like an especially powerful window to catch your breath and give yourself a minute to process everything that\u2019s been happening. In the deep, emotional waters of Scorpio, this lunation has \u201cUgly Cry\u201d written all over it, and it will feel damn<\/em> good.<\/p>\n

Adding to the vibe shift, Mercury prepares to station direct on Thursday, signalling the end of a particularly gnarly retrograde season. That means your ability to think fast and act faster might be hampered. The good news? Everyone is in the same boat.<\/p>\n

ARIES AND ARIES RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With Taurus season shifting the focus away from the especially intense main character energy you\u2019ve been working with, expect to feel a little less frazzled. With Mercury slowing down too, you could feel a smidge less reactive\u2026which may not be a bad thing. The full moon mid-week promises to excavate some pretty big feelings, especially around self-worth. Waterproof mascara at the ready, this one is going to be a doozy \u2013 in the best way possible. Like a weepy rom com on a hungover Sunday, it\u2019s all part of the post eclipse comedown. Lean in.<\/p>\n

TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fresh off the Jupiter\/Uranus conjunction last weekend, Taurus o\u2019clock is well under way, bringing some much-needed chill to the erratic vibes of recent weeks. Clear the decks mid-week and do something luscious for the full moon. Infra red saunas, pasta in bed, maybe one after the other. There\u2019s deep healing coming at you (if you\u2019re game). If you\u2019re in a relationship, this full moon could also stir up some more \u201cchallenging\u201d material from deep below the surface. Be warned, once you let the genie out of the bottle, there\u2019ll be no coaxing them back in\u2026<\/p>\n

GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With your 12th<\/sup> house illuminated, you\u2019ve entered your annual hermit era (until Gemini season kicks off next month). That\u2019s your yearly cue from the sky for an energetic cup of tea and a lie down. Major full moon energy mid-week should give you a not-so-subtle kick up the backside to flop and drop if you\u2019re struggling to switch off. And when you do finally let yourself be still, don\u2019t be surprised if you\u2019re bowled over by a tidal wave of feelings \u2013 the energy is real. In other news, the end of Mercury retrograde (Thursday AEST and GMT) should draw a line in the sand under any ick you\u2019ve had with friends the past few weeks.<\/p>\n

CANCER AND CANCER RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Little crabs, you\u2019ve been through the wringer the past four weeks. The good news is, by the end of this one, you\u2019re out of the woods. Already you should be feeling less ticked off \u2013 especially at work, with the sun illuminating your social sphere beckoning you to see the joy in simple pleasures. The full moon mid-week serves as an energetic cue to let your hair down, preferably with the kind of people who can finish your sentences for you. Then, rejoice once Mercury slows to go direct (25 April AEST and GMT) and the madness at work finally starts to subside. Make space to crawl back into your little crab shell on the weekend \u2013 you\u2019ll need it.<\/p>\n

LEO AND LEO RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Taurus season is coming in hot straight out of the gate, pulling focus on your career. Don\u2019t be surprised if you\u2019re bowled over by a moment of realisation, healing or release mid-week when the full moon casts an unflinching light on the state of play. It might be the moment you decide you\u2019re ready for a 180 pivot\u2026or a 6-month sabbatical. If spicy power dynamics have been rippling beneath the surface, they could swell to a tidal wave, likely from someone close. It may land like an eruption, but once you\u2019ve regained composure, try to hold steady and hear them out.<\/p>\n

VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With the combative quality of Aries season waning, there\u2019s a sense of perspective and respite about this week. Things aren\u2019t perfect, but seeing beyond the immediate heaviness that has been dominating the past month should feel a little easier. Use the full moon (23 April GMT, 24 April AEST) to reflect on big, lofty goals \u2013 maybe thinking about studying, reconnecting with a spiritual practice or daydreaming about a big trip. Once Mercury goes direct (Thursday AEST and GMT), reaching an agreement or resolution around areas of stress will feel more probable.<\/p>\n

LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While the people closest to you are trying to unravel some major knots, by Friday, they should finally find the other end of the string. Lucky for them, you\u2019re still on hand, hearing them out. The full moon in the middle of the week is a good one for you to revisit deeply personal questions around what you value, prioritise and envisage long-term. How do you marry what you need materially, from a resource perspective, with your emotional desires? Striking a compromise between the humdrum grind of adulting with your desire for more intense experiences is the balancing act you\u2019re being asked to explore.<\/p>\n

SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While you may have managed to emerge from eclipse season relatively unscathed, this week\u2019s full moon promises Major Feels and realisations. With your most intimate relationships under the microscope, the desire to go deep (or maybe, just go?), will be big. In the words of Jon Kabat-Zinn (a Buddhist teacher), \u201cYou can\u2019t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.\u201d Holding in your feelings is futile, now is the time to speak your truth and share what\u2019s going on beneath the surface.<\/p>\n

SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fresh off the juicy feels of last weekend, there\u2019s a more easeful, lilting pace to this week that should feel comparably delightful. With more energy in your tank, it\u2019s ideal astro weather for heading back to the gym \u2013 especially if you\u2019ve been a bit light on training lately. The full moon (Tuesday GMT, Wednesday AEST) could deliver a wakeup call on the health front so get the jump on the energy and start the week off on the right foot. Workwise, you\u2019re ready to tackle the grind. Be methodical, patient and consistent and watch as seeds flourish faster than you expected.<\/p>\n

CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN\u00a0 RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s happy news for any goat who has been feeling under the pump of late (tbh, probably all Capricorns). You\u2019re on a downhill run, with green lights and a whole lot less ick in the overall vibe. From Monday you should feel the tide turning and the mood soften. As the dust begins to settle, the push\/pull between home and work also begins to yield significantly. With the full Moon highlighting friendships, don\u2019t be surprised if you suddenly notice who\u2019s been showing up through this recent season of intensity (and who hasn\u2019t).<\/p>\n

AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last weekends sparkly astro weather launches you into the week with a little extra spring in your step. While there\u2019s still a few days (until Thursday \u2013 all time zones) of potential hijinks as Mercury slows down to station (especially Tuesday\/Wednesday), the overall feel is a whole lot rosier than it\u2019s been in recent weeks. Mid-week, the full moon coincides with a moment of honesty and healing highlighting storylines around your work and your family. There\u2019s the chance to get real and let go of something that\u2019s been bubbling beneath the surface for way too long. Don\u2019t hold it in, now\u2019s your chance to come clean.<\/p>\n

PISCES AND PISCES RISING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As the pressure to make big calls about (or cuts to) your spending finally subsides (TF!) there\u2019s a gentler pace to the week ahead. Taurus season invites you to get lost in learning, books or a new show as you\u2019re invited to give yourself the time and space to rebound from the madness that has been the past few weeks. A big, cathartic cry around the full moon may be triggered by something entirely unrelated, but once you start, you may not be able to stop. Go with the feels and let the waves of emotion move through you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29212,"featured_media":50704,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[260,35],"yoast_head":"\nHoroscopes April 22\u201328: Do You Need To Catch Your Breath?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The astro weather is aligned to do just that, says astrologist Emma Vidgen.
