Mercury stations direct (April 7th) along with Venus (April 12th). Both transits are directly linked to the Full Moon in Libra transit occurring on the 12th, which is all about how we adjust our social battery and adapt to changing relationships. Because Venus' direct will have us all analyze our relationship and value system, this week is very transformative and empowering since Venus is in the exalted sign of Pisces. There will continue to be some challenges with Saturn in Pisces and the North Node in Pisces, but Venus direct will bring us a sense of relief. We will still have to reflect upon more things to learn from for the next several months. However, let's explore what's happening this week.

Understanding your limits will be more apparent through Mercury stationing direct earlier in the week.

This Full Moon can also finally permit you to close some of those cycles relating to the South Node transit in Libra, and now you can embrace the lessons that the Virgo eclipse last month brought to the table.

A wonderful transit early this week will be Mercury, your ruler, stationing direct in your partnership house. You understand much of the romantic story with the Full Moon centering on the energy right now. Venus retrograde in Pisces finally ends, and you can analyze and close those chapters brewing for a while.
As a Virgo, you’re more about the practical and the logical. Still, this transit is going to have you digging deep, searching your emotional side, so get ready to be more open with your partner or your friends or if you still don’t feel comfortable showing those emotions you’re going to be very much open to writing them down in a journal or through meditation. It's time for you to release all that pensive energy to release whatever has been holding you back in romance finally.

Take the lead. This is a time to analyze what these relationships mean to you, whether it’s friendship, business partnership, or romantic relationship. Venus and Mercury direct surge as the stimulus of the change, while this Full Moon strengthens you to make those changes and find courage.

While we’re still in this Martian season, the Mercury direct transit may highlight what you’ve been researching and learning over the last six months. The Full Moon helps you show off potential blueprints you’ve worked on for so long, and you’re more confident in putting them in the spotlight.
However, you may still feel uncertain, reflecting some of the week's lessons. Don’t be afraid of mistakes or starting a project over. It is still similar to an apprenticeship stage. Seek guidance if you need it from people that you respect who can help you elevate those endeavors moving forward.
