It’s go time. With all planets Direct and a stellium in Aries, the energy is primed to initiate the new and propel you forward—through new endeavors, processes, identities, and states of consciousness. Bold actions taken now will activate trajectories that shape your future personally and our future collectively.
Things are changing quickly. Focus on moving forward with intention, rather than following an old program. What spurs you on can also create impatience or frustration, so center yourself with mindful intention before you blast off.
April 13 – Mars conjunct Neptune
This is the energy of Wu Wei, in harmony with life and flowing around obstacles. The Aries fire can fuel visions and awaken new dreams. With Neptune in Aries for the next 13 years, Mars in Aries is seeding the imagination while tapping into your Higher Consciousness to activate potential within you that will emerge as your path unfolds.
You may feel this as a surge of inspiration, a creative breakthrough or sudden clarity about what matters. Or you may feel an inner pull to do something that doesn’t fully make sense yet, but you know is right. Trust your intuition; it will never steer you wrong. This is a beautiful day for spiritual practices, to be creative or have an Artist’s Date to stimulate your senses and transcend the mind. Don’t try to force knowing or clarity if it’s not available, rather, choose whatever soothes your soul for best care.
April 13 – Venus sextile Jupiter
This is a warm, uplifting day of grace, abundance and heart-opening, as generosity is in the air. Be open and receptive to any and all blessings that are available (a wonderful way to walk through life every day). Venus-Jupiter can bring love, $$, expansion and a sense of well being overall. Expand your heartspace and open to more love, flowing in and out. Be mindful not to overdo it, as more is not always better.
April 14 – Mercury sextile Uranus
Watch for an upgrade or shift in your mental operating system – your thinking, processing, insights or realizations. You may learn skills or access new timelines that shifts your experience of life. New info can materialize that changes the picture, and you may experience frequencies that you don’t have language for. It’s a radically changing world and Uranus creates sudden openings and liberation from limitations.
April 14-May 2 – Mercury in Aries
Direct, quick and impulsive, this Mercury will speak and act on instinct, jumping into action without thinking things through and speaking without a filter. It is great for clear, courageous decisions and conversations, ready to go with vitality and drive. You can get so much done and forge a path where you may not have dared to go before. Now you have the mental clarity to facilitate actions toward any inspired visions you had earlier in the week.
April 16 – Sun conjunct Chiron
Chiron carries both the wound and the medicine, as the Sun illuminates both. In Aries, the wound is around identity and courage—fear of being too much or not enough, where you learned to shrink rather than shine. Sun-Chiron illuminates these areas with compassion so you can see them clearly and make new choices if needed.
Wherever you have struggled the most to show up as your Self is where your experience of healing can become a light for others. This is a day for radical Self-acceptance, quiet courage and Self-honoring. Say yes to who you are. That is the healing.
April 16 – Mars sextile Pluto
The invitation is to utilize your power, strength and motivation in service to your intentions. Mars-Pluto offers deep, focused, transformational energy with momentum that gives you the stamina to accomplish goals. It’s a powerful day to tap into your inner strength and handle anything that requires heavy lifting or that you’ve been avoiding. Pluto affords you resilience when you rise to your mission, but you only find out if you get in the game. You are far more powerful and stronger than you know. I hope you amaze yourself.
April 16 – Mercury conjunct Neptune
The nonlinear world of dreamy Neptune conjoins with speedy Mercury in Aries, wanting clarity and direct communication. You may either feel low vitality and confused, or your creativity and intuition can support your cognition by adding perspectives that are beyond the usual databank of knowledge. It’s a beautiful mix of logic and higher consciousness, head and heart, if you use it that way.
Neptune will soften the edges of Mercury—and no matter what idea or experience you have, it has validity and it will serve a purpose. You just may not know how, what or where for a while. Have faith and open your mind to higher possibilities.
As Mars moves through Aries, you will likely take actions in new areas or ways that you wouldn’t have before now. Decide on where you’ll direct your energy so you have a clear focus, whatever it is. This is a time for attempts at what you are called to begin without needing to know all the steps in advance. You can adjust as needed along the way. It’s about getting in the game, expanding your familiar world and trusting yourself to land on your feet.
The Universe supports your efforts now, so make use of this tremendous energy and be proactive!
Namaste, my friend. I am so grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷
