Scorpio

Scorpio (Ruling Planet: Pluto; Element: Water) Scorpios are truly a mixed bag. You can be passionate, but resentful. You can be ambitious and determined, but manipulative in the process. And although the Scorpion is one the most faithful of the signs, you struggle with trust and possessiveness, with forgiving and forgetting. However, Scorpio, you are still indeed a true water sign— sensitive and intuitive. And your emotional strength is what sets you apart from every other sign.

Fire sign Aries will have a productive effect on you throughout the month, as Venus and a new moon pass through the sign on the 5th and 7th. So, spend this time gettin shit done and don’t be afraid to tap into your sense of creativity. You’ll find that you can get work more done with greater ease, and paying close attention to the details will benefit. In love, you can better attend all of the little things, and will seek someone who does the same for you around the beginning of the month. However, the Mercury retrograde on the 28th occurs in your relationship sector, and will try to f*ck with this sense of harmony, causing miscommunications and issues that need fixing. Mercury’s location in Taurus can also prompt the return of old loves or enemies. The Sun and Venus also pass through earth sign Taurus, your opposite in the Zodiac, and around the 19th and 29th, spending time with others will feel like the most important thing. The 17th marks another retrograde, Mars in Sagittarius, the sign after yours. The planet of decision-making in retrograde could make you feel lazier, more indulgent, and stubborn about it. Avoid shopping and eating on impulse if you’re trying to save money. The full moon in your sign occurs just days later on the 22nd, and could bring you the perfect energy to change your habits, fix a miscommunication, or break off a partnership.

Your April Trax:

A lot of positive energy is in store for you this month, so why not encourage that state of mind with music from some feel-good punk bands? Ugly Cherries by PWR BTTM is sure to put you in some kinda mood. Local band Bent Shapes should have a similar effect, and their March album Wolves of Want has a poppy, noisy sound. Then, a little more lo-fi, more experimental, and definitely more Providence, give Bath w/ Frozen Cat by edgar clinks a shot.
