Your Weekly Horoscope Is Here & It's Time To Reap The Rewards Of Your Hard Work

As of this week, we're fully submerged under the weight of both Saturn and Pluto in retrograde. These periods overwhelm the world with change. You won't be nudged gently out of your comfort zone; you'll be shoved with full force. Although your surroundings will be imbued by the loss of the old and blurred by the rush of the new, these periods are beautiful for many reasons. One of them being that your April 23, 2018, weekly horoscope allows you to make meaningful improvements within yourself. With the status of everything in jeopardy, you have so much power over your fate.

You're currently working toward the intentions you set on the new moon in Aries last week. It will all culminate with a powerful full moon in Scorpio on April 29. If you've set serious goals and put in the hours, the moon at full bloom will absolutely reward you for your hard work. The period between these two particular lunar phases will be especially powerful, because both moons occurred under zodiac signs ruled by Mars — the most aggressive and forceful planet of all. Feel free to embrace the shower of energy.

This week isn't all hard work and productivity either. On April 24, Venus moves into Gemini, making everything light, playful, clever, and fun. Stay tuned for this bubbly energy to unfold in your social life.
