💌 Hey, Beautiful—
Want the backstory on these retrogrades? Read the full breakdown here →
This week doesn’t care how curated your vibe is. It wants your truth. The raw, inconvenient, unfiltered version—the one you’ve been rehearsing in the mirror and swallowing before it ever hits air.
Mercury Retrograde ends on Monday. If you've been tracking the full retrograde cycle and want to see how this chapter fits into the larger story, this retrograde guide breaks it down. So does your ability to keep pretending you don’t know what’s wrong. Words are coming back. Clarity is coming back. And you don’t get to pretend the fog was more comfortable than what’s now becoming visible.
And just in case you thought you could slide through quietly? Venus Retrograde isn’t done with you either. She stations direct on Saturday—but not before demanding receipts for every place you’ve sold yourself short. Every “I’m fine” that wasn’t. Every time you chose palatability over authenticity. Every time you called it love when it was really compromise with lipstick.
Then there’s Friday. The Libra Full Moon.
She’s gorgeous. She’s enraged. And she’s ready to expose the emotional contract you never signed—but kept honoring anyway.
If you’re exhausted from keeping it all together, this is your sign to let it fall apart in style.
🌐 This Week’s Astrology Highlights
Monday, April 7 – The Reckoning Arrives
Venus Retrograde conjunct Saturn in Pisces
This is the return of the moral audit. Go back to January 18—the last time Venus met Saturn. What’s come full circle? Venus retrograde isn’t just nostalgic. She’s resurrecting everything you tried to bury about your relationships, values, aesthetic, money, and self-worth. With Saturn? There’s no running. Only truth.Mercury Stations Direct in Pisces
It’s time to say what hasn’t been said. Mercury’s shift forward in Pisces wraps up a 3-week emotional and intellectual fog. Now the feelings have words. Conversations may sting, but they’re meant to clear the air. Look to your Pisces house for where the edits and realizations are showing up.
Friday, April 12 – Big Beauty Energy
Venus Stations Direct in Pisces
The goddess wakes up in her most exalted state, demanding reverence, comfort, luxury, and a little bit of performative glam. The urge to indulge, to forgive, to pretend it’s all okay? Intoxicating. But watch the line between compassion and codependence.Full Moon in Libra
A Full Moon ruled by Venus in exaltation while she stations direct? That’s rare. And that’s a vibe. This lunation puts the spotlight on justice, equality, feminine power, social contracts, and the pressure to stay polite when you’re boiling inside. Expect public reveals around gender, power, and who gets to speak for whom. Neptune’s recent activity has been behind much of this eclipse cycle’s drama—this Virgo Eclipse Survival Guide breaks it down.
🎮 Cheat Codes for the Week
💅 Beautiful doesn’t mean passive. Say it pretty if you have to—but say it ugly if it's easier.
🕊 Diplomacy isn’t submission. Peace comes with sharp edges. A sheathed sword isn't weak.
🎭 If you have to fake harmony, it’s not real. Call it what it is: performance.
🧠 Jenny’s Advice
You don’t have to explode this week. You just have to stop pretending everything’s fine.
Monday starts the week with a double dose of divine reckoning—Venus retrograde and Mercury retrograde both hitting their stations in Pisces like two sides of the same coin. One says, “Live your truth.” The other says, “Speak it.” And neither of them cares if it makes things uncomfortable.
Mercury retrograde ending is not a green light to return to “normal”—because normal wasn’t working. This station is about clarity, not closure. It’s your final edit before you hit send. It’s what happens when the noise dies down and your inner voice actually gets a word in.
Meanwhile, Venus retrograde is stationing direct on Saturday, but not before she drags your entire value system through the psychic rinse cycle. This has been a 40-day detox on your pleasure, your power, your partnerships, and your price. If you’ve been compromising your values for connection—or avoiding connection to protect your values—this is the week it comes to a head.
And Friday? That’s when the Moon lays it all bare. The Libra Full Moon is like a black-tie breakup: elegant, devastating, and impossible to ignore. With both the Moon and her ruler Venus at critical stations, every emotional interaction carries weight. Every conversation could be a decision. Every silence could be a verdict.
You’ve been pretending things are fine. But your astrology says otherwise. You can’t retrograde your way out of this one.
If you’ve been faking peace instead of building it, this is your pivot point.
“If it only works when you stay silent, it doesn’t work.”
🌕 The Full Moon in Libra: Grace with Knives
This lunation doesn’t play nice—it plays smart. Neptune’s entrance into Aries is shaping this Full Moon’s emotional pressure—here’s how.
This isn’t a “release what no longer serves you” moon. This is a courtroom moon—and you’re both plaintiff and defendant.
What’s on trial?
The performance of peace.
The costs of keeping it cute.
The contracts you never consented to—but kept honoring out of politeness.
Venus is stationed in Pisces. The Sun is exalted in Aries. Divine Femme vs. Divine Will. Soft power vs. raw autonomy. And the Full Moon is the mirror between them, asking: Do you look like yourself in this arrangement? Or have you disappeared trying to make it fair?
This lunation lands like a velvet guillotine—beautiful, and it will cut. If you’ve been calling it balance while your needs die quietly under the surface, this is where the mask slips. And not just personally—watch the headlines. Power, gender, justice, and public decorum are about to collide.
Whatever breaks now is honest. Whatever stays must be re-chosen.
Look to your Libra house—this is your pressure point. But don’t stop there. In two weeks, the Taurus New Moon will offer grounding and reinvention. So burn it clean, then build it right.

Before you read your sign, take a breath and get honest with yourself. These aren’t predictions—they're offerings of perspective. You don’t need to believe in astrology to feel what’s already shifting. For the most personalized experience, read your Sun and Rising signs together. Then forward it to the friend who's still pretending everything's fine.
♈ Aries
You keep saying you're fine, but your face says otherwise. The pressure to hold everything together is cracking—especially where others expect you to lead without asking how you're doing. You don’t have to burn the bridge this week, but you do need to stop standing in the fire for people who refuse to move. This is about choosing your peace, not proving your strength.
♉ Taurus
There’s a difference between being reliable and being taken for granted, and you’ve been crossing that line too quietly for too long. If it’s breaking you to keep it all going, it’s not a routine—it’s a trap. You deserve a life that doesn’t need recovery time. Stop calling your exhaustion normal just because you’re used to it.
♊ Gemini
The world has a lot to say about who you’re supposed to be, but this week, your own voice finally gets through the noise. You’ve been waiting for permission to feel joy again—not just perform it. Create something that doesn’t need to be seen to be worth doing. You don’t have to be loud to be powerful—you just have to mean it.
♋ Cancer
This week presses into the soft places you’ve been guarding. The kind of pressure that reveals what’s real and what’s just performance. You’re allowed to want more than safety. You’re allowed to change the rules in a house you helped build. If you’re done pretending, you’re ready to begin again.
♌ Leo
You can’t keep pretending that being admired is the same thing as being loved. This week drags your pride into the spotlight and asks whether you’re being seen—or just performing visibility. What happens when you stop holding the room together? You’re allowed to take up space without being the center of attention. You’re allowed to be held, too.
♍ Virgo
You’ve spent enough time explaining yourself to people committed to misunderstanding you. This week is about stopping the dance. No more over-explaining, over-justifying, or pre-clearing your feelings. Your clarity is sacred. If someone makes you earn the right to be honest, they’ve already told you everything you need to know.
♎ Libra
This one hits close. The moment you’ve been holding back to keep everything balanced? It’s here. If you’ve been cushioning the truth so others can stay comfortable, it’s time to ask what that comfort is costing you. You’re not obligated to be the calm one, the nice one, the safe one. Let them feel the weight you’ve been carrying alone.
♏ Scorpio
You’re reaching the end of a story you never agreed to write. If you’ve been working overtime to keep the peace, this week hands you the pen back. You don’t have to be the strong one. You don’t have to be the one who always understands. You’re allowed to ask: who would show up if I stopped being useful?
♐ Sagittarius
You’ve been doing what you’re supposed to. What’s expected. What’s smart. But this week reminds you that joy isn’t a reward for good behavior—it’s the evidence that you’re still alive. Stop asking for permission to be who you already are. Wanting more isn’t selfish. It’s sacred.
♑ Capricorn
Your structure is solid. Your work ethic is unmatched. But somewhere in the blueprint, you forgot to leave room for yourself. This week wants you to redraw the plans—one boundary at a time. You don’t have to hold everything up just because you know how. Let something else carry the weight for once.
♒ Aquarius
You’ve always seen the bigger picture. The problem is, it’s starting to feel like a gallery full of everyone else’s art. This week brings the uncomfortable gift of perspective. If your vision no longer includes you, it’s time to tear it down and start again. No more living as a theory.
♓ Pisces
You’re used to adapting. Shapeshifting. Making it look easy. But this week pulls you back into your own skin—and asks you to stay there. You don’t need to disappear to be loved. You don’t need to soften just to be safe. It’s your turn to take up space and be felt.
✨ Final Thoughts
Politeness won’t protect you. Peace without integrity is just a prettier kind of pain.
This is the week you stop apologizing for wanting more. Venus is awake. Mercury is direct. Your silence isn’t sacred—it’s self-erasure.
Let the Libra Full Moon call you out. Let it call you back.
Forward this to the person still pretending they’re fine. Or the one who keeps making peace instead of asking for it.

The Gemini one hit hard; I’ve been avoiding making my music due to future jumping instead of just enjoying the process for myself…thank you for the nudge!
If you have to fake harmony it’s not real. 👏🪶
