Episode 342 | Scorpio Full Moon: The True You

This week, Venus turns a little serious with aspects to Pluto and Saturn, but it’s all moving us toward a treasured North Node goal. May Day shines bright under the light of the Scorpio Full Moon. Mercury enters laconic, earthy Taurus, and April answers a listener question about the Lunar Nodes: why be mean when you can be true? Plus: Bird vs nest, carrot vs spreadsheet, and wobble or no wobble?
