Weekly Shadow Work Journal Prompts (April 13 – April 19, 2025)

April 14, 2025

This week’s astrology is unearthing truths—Juno retrograde in Scorpio dredges up karmic bonds, Mercury in Aries demands blunt honesty, and Mars in Leo roars for self-ownership. Below are three prompts to help you confront what’s been buried. No shame, no rush—just you and your courage.


1. Juno Retrograde in Scorpio: "What relationship pattern feels fated—or doomed—to repeat?"

Scorpio hates superficiality; Juno retrograde asks: Is this bond a lesson or a prison?


Dig deeper:

  • Where have I confused intensity for intimacy?
  • What old betrayal still lives in my body? (Scorpio rules cellular memory.)


Mythological Nod: Like Persephone descending into the Underworld, Juno in Scorpio pulls us into the shadows of love. Ask: Am I the prisoner, the queen, or both?


2. Mercury Conjunct Neptune in Aries: "What lie have I been telling myself because the truth feels too reckless?"


Aries demands authenticity; Neptune dissolves illusions.


Try:

  • Finish this sentence: I pretend I’m okay with ______, but really I’m…
  • Where has my intuition been shouting, but I’ve called it "overthinking"?


Cosmic Context: This transit is a spiritual smoke alarm. Ignore it, and the fog thickens; heed it, and you’ll find clarity in the flames.


3. Mars in Leo: "Where do I perform confidence—but secretly crave validation?"

Leo loves the spotlight, but shadow Leo fears being unseen.


Ask:

  • What parts of myself do I exaggerate (or hide) to hold attention?
  • If I stopped performing, who would stick around?


Permission Slip: Mars in Leo says: You don’t need a standing ovation to be worthy. Burn for yourself first.


✨ Your Invitation


Pick the prompt that makes your stomach flip—that’s where the gold is. Write without editing, then ritualize it:

  • Tear it up (Scorpio-style catharsis),
  • Burn it (Mars in Leo drama), or
  • Save it (Taurus-season keepsake).


This isn’t about fixing "flaws"—it’s about reclaiming disowned power.


Tell me in the comments: Which prompt hit hardest? Remember: What you resist, persists. What you acknowledge, transforms.
