Scorpio Monthly Horoscope April 2009 | Astrology Zodiac Sign: Scorpio

(Oct 22 - Nov 21)

Your ruling planet Pluto goes retro, helping you consider recent decisions and the potential implications. You recognize that a phase has come and gone. A growth spurt has met its potential and a new shoot, possibly from a different source is the new plant du jour. Time comes and goes. That theme replays itself in your heart and head over and over through September. Some decisions may prove regrettable, but most will be grand blessings in disguise that create freedom from repression – even depression.

You get a sense of your own personal influence on the 9th. You see how potent and strong and emotionally essential you are. You may realize that the current environs you're in are all wrong for your stage of evolution and development. You may finally feel ready to push through the gauze and into the clearing.

Mid month is bold, empowering, sexy and confident. You try things you've hesitated to do in the past. You unbutton your shirt and allow the wind to rustle through your hair. You stop worrying about make up and pay more attention to healthy skin. You learn to value yourself, your privacy, loved ones and all-important quality of life.

Once you absorb this initially sensory-awakening, it feels exquisitely good. You feel more like a goddess or god than a mere mortal. Stand tall. The late month New Moon unveils secrets that you allow to be exposed – as you wish. This is, of course, by design.
