As multiple planets entered Aries this month, the Fire Horse surge has increased, both personally and collectively. The cosmic invitation is to stand in your sovereign Self, living from your own Inner Authority, where decisions, actions, and directions arise from your inner knowing rather than external influences or conditioning.

April 17 – New Moon in Aries @ 4:52am PDT. With a stellium of seven planets in Aries, this is a high energy gateway that propels you forward as you forge a new path. Bring it! Chiron and Eris help you transcend old limitations and rise up to be seen and heard by courageously taking bold actions. The healing is in doing, showing up, speaking up and dropping the old storyline that kept you small. If you knew you wouldn’t fail, what would you do?

Let the Fire Horse run free… yes to this, yes to that, whatever calls you forward in a visceral way. You will know what’s real for you, as it’s a inside job. The healing potential is tremendous when you act your way into aligned thinking, rather than living in your head, trying to figure out your next steps. You may be operating from an old identity that was focused on blending in or looking good, rather than daring to lead by being who you really are.

The world has changed and will rapidly continue to do so, and it’s time to trust yourself, come out of hiding and step forward in a new way. You are the creator of your reality, moving from the vision into activation. The new era that we’re entering calls for a new consciousness, showing up so others can find you.

April 18 – Mercury sextile Pluto. This generates deep thinking, research and focused energy, intense conversations and detective work, digging to get more info or the real story. You can transform your thought process, perspective, create breakthroughs or gain deep insights. The mind is busy and Pluto will focus it like a laser beam. Use this well, as it can be very productive for accomplishing tasks, but be mindful not to drain others if you are on a fact-finding mission :))

April 19-21 – A Mercury, Mars, Saturn triple conjunction. This is an energy of purpose. Mercury has ideas and agendas, Mars wants to take off and get going, while Saturn demands organization, strategy, commitment, and a plan to build something lasting. So this is the convergence of three planets in fiery Aries, but Saturn will either frustrate Mercury and Mars (who want to go and communicate) or it will ground the energy by forcing practical actions or a boundary of some kind.

Saturn is your friend, even if it seems to get in the way sometimes. Slow down and think things through before you commit to anything involved. Actions taken during this period carry lasting impact, so move with clarity and intention. Saturn will help with that. If you face a delay, a “no” or a perceived setback, trust in Divine Timing and the reason for the obstacle will be revealed later. Saturn can slow things down to create a reality check, which will be helpful for clarity.

April 19-May 20 – Sun in Taurus (6:30pm PDT). The Sun moves into slow, calm, practical Taurus and you will feel a shift in the energy. The earth, nature, food, comfort, routines, your things, pleasure and leisure are all sources of relaxation and grounding. This is a sensual energy that sees no need to rush, which will be an interesting counterbalance to the speedy Aries energy.

With Venus in it’s home sign of Taurus, sensory nourishment will provide a respite if life is moving too fast for you. Sit in a garden, take a bath with essential oils, have a massage, get fresh flowers, eat delicious food—whatever soothes your senses will be your refuge. Embodiment is a Taurus superpower, as is patience and devotion. From the simple things to abundance; enjoy them all.

April 23 – Venus conjunct Uranus. Venus rules what you value: beauty, style, relationships, creativity, your Self—and this is a shakeup, experimentation and/or pattern-breaking. Because it’s a harmonious aspect, this can be lively, fun or wandering into new territory. In relationships, you can shift old paradigms and routines where you feel constricted or bored. Uranus is the energy of liberation – get out of the box and refresh your social life and the joys of life.

April 23-May 18 – Venus in Gemini. Venus is a social butterfly in Gemini. This is the networker who loves communication, connections and interactions. It’s curious, open and flexible, with a light touch that serves alliances, negotiations, media and fun. This Venus knows how to handle change with grace, playfulness and a network of resources.

Focus on diving into new ventures and coming out of your protective shell to reveal even more of your unique authenticity. Start from where you are, utilize what you’ve got and go after what you want. Take a risk and be your Self so you will attract your new soul family members (what a thrill!). They will find you when you show up, as community will be the name of the game in the years to come (online and in person). Stay tuned…

The bold actions you take today will create your tomorrows, so make good use of this tremendous energetic rocket fuel and be proactive.

Namaste, my friend. I am so grateful for your presence on our journey together.

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. 🌷

We are in a space that is incredibly rich with possibilities. The Sun, Saturn and Neptune are raring to go in Aries, while Mercury and Mars are still lingering in intuitive Pisces, filtering thoughts and actions, as you process endings and dream in your future. You dream in your future when you have a vision that is so vivid and real, you hold it until it becomes manifest. There are just a few aspects this week with inspiration and activity that is lively, and subtle energies forming a tapestry behind the scenes.

April 3 – Mercury trine Jupiter. This pair working in harmony creates optimism, clarity and allows for expansive ideas. Whereas fear keeps you contracted, this is the remedy as you feel inspired. You can make smart plans or generate opportunities; you can stretch beyond your usual mindset to open new doors that can change your life. Infinite possibilities abound and when you widen your lens to discover new people, paths and potential. You can literally redirect your future by stretching and taking a risk.

April 3 – Venus square Pluto. This pair in fixed signs can initiate passionate connections, intense conflicts and profound truths when Venus is pressured by Pluto. While Venus craves harmony, comfort and connection, Pluto demands truth, transparency and surrender. Issues around trust, $$, power or hidden agendas can arise in relationships with reveals that are game-changers. Pluto-Venus can transform relationships, your heart and quality of life by illuminating truths that challenge beliefs about your Self and your lovability, breaking patterns that awaken you to a new reality. Communications can be weighty with lasting repercussions. Deep, deep, deep and primal. 

You can use the Mercury-Jupiter and Venus-Pluto to honor your values and move into a more empowered and aligned expression of life for you. Being pushed out of complacency (internally or externally) is a profound event that will force you to regroup, hence, a new beginning. If you know that you are out of alignment with your values or your value, it’s time for a course correction and you can begin now. 

April 5 – Sun square Jupiter. This is proactive energy that can give you the confidence to take actions you normally wouldn’t, full of positivity that can override doubt with joyful enthusiasm. When you embody inspiration with optimism and generosity, you are likely to be successful, while attracting goodness and opportunities as a mirror of your frequency. Enjoy, but be mindful of what you say “Yes” to, as there are no brakes on this joyride.

April 8 – Mars sextile Uranus. You may feel restless and bored with the status quo, wanting to shake things up today by doing something new or different. Some excitement to feel more alive. This will stimulate your authentic nature and spur you to break out of limiting roles and stale routines. Choose activities or pursuits that allow you to express aspects of Self that have been suppressed or hidden. It’s a gift when you’re motivated to pursue things that you normally wouldn’t for the Self-discovery alone. Try on this experience of liberation and freedom to see how it feels and consider it rehearsal for some emerging energy. To be continued; there’s always something to learn. 

April 9-May 18 – Mars in Aries. Mars is in its rulership in bold, courageous Aries, where it is the maverick, pioneer, warrior and goes after what it wants. It’s good to have a focus, as Mars and Saturn in Aries will want to build something that lasts. And if this is work you can do on your own, all the better, as Mars in Aries is independent, not one to wait for permission, approval or agreement. Utilize these six weeks well and you can accomplish a lot as you express your passion via your efforts.

Saturn sextile Pluto continues to be a constructive influence this week supporting deep, lasting transformation through disciplined effort and conscious restructuring. Decisions made now will permanently shift the foundations of your life as you align intentional actions with your truth and take responsibility for creating your path—a process through which you follow your own yellow brick road. 

No matter where you think you’re going, be prepared to experience surprises and amazement along the way, as you enter (and co-create) a world you’ve never seen before, where the individual has more personal power than ever. Your deepest truth is always your North Star that guides you forward, but Saturn-Pluto is the commitment and work that will stabilize you.

Enjoy your week and allow yourself to transcend your usual boundaries. Investigate your desires, try things, feel what wants to express from within you. It’s time for a scenic detour from your usual life. 

The process is unfolding perfectly and all is well, no matter what it looks like from our limited perspective. There’s a much bigger picture and you are part of the fabric. Your presence is vital to the creation, so do not limit or minimize yourself. 

Namaste, my friend. I am so grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

March 27 – As we close March and enter April, we are committed to a new path of emerging structures. All planets in Direct motion and a stellium in Aries create an energetic boost that impels you to move. Mercury is Direct, clarifying info from the past few weeks, as well as gaining insights that will inform your next steps. Mercury in Pisces allows you to utilize your dreams and intuitive gifts for continuing guidance and for visioning your future.

March 27-April 1 – Saturn sextile Pluto. The Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn in Jan 2020 activated the pandemic and the destruction that it brought, effectively destroying the old, familiar world we once knew. Six years later, it’s time to start rebuilding structures, but from a new space in a dramatically changed Pluto in Aquarius world in which community and individuality rule.

This is a constructive, stabilizing influence that supports deep, lasting transformation through disciplined effort and conscious restructuring. Decisions made now will permanently shift the foundations of your life as you align your intentional actions with your truth and take responsibility for creating your path, a process through which you’ll follow your own yellow brick road.

No matter where you think you’re going, be prepared to experience surprises and amazement along the way, as you enter (and co-create) a world you’ve never seen before where the individual has more personal power than ever. Remember, your deepest truth is your North Star that guides you forward, but Saturn-Pluto is the committing to and doing the work that will activate your path forward.

March 30-April 23 – Venus in Taurus. Venus in in her home sign creates a sensual, grounded and practical approach to love, comfort, the senses, resources and the material world. Slow and deliberate, she takes time to build high quality relationships and to fulfill her desires. Know what you love and what matters to you.

The Divine Feminine is associated with Venus in Taurus, who operates through embodiment and physical presence as a source of knowing, Divine wisdom and instinct. Think: an Earth Mother, quality over quantity and a space of pleasure and discernment in which you embrace what you truly value. 

April 1 – Full Moon in Libra @ 7:12pm. A Full Moon is a crescendo or when things come to light. Be aware of what materializes now, either in the form of a revelation, a creation or an ending, and how that affects your life. The Libra-Aries axis addresses the compromises necessary in relationships in order for them to work vs. your personal will and desires. If you are in a relationship that doesn’t support you anymore, be proactive and take responsibility for your Self. Maybe you set new boundaries or make new decisions about what you will and won’t agree to. 

The Ruler of this Full Moon is Venus in Taurus, a beautiful placement and grounding force that supports you in taking a stand for your values. However, Jupiter in Cancer squares the Full Moon in Libra, that can create conflict between your needs/feelings (Cancer) and keeping the peace or creating harmony (Libra). The best case scenario is to find a win-win (Libra’s dream come true), but if that’s not possible, seek the best solution that you can.

It’s time to raise your game (if you haven’t already) to create satisfying relationships. If a dynamic is out of balance, begin by holding yourself as powerful and responsible for your behavior. Decide what you’re willing to accept and then make needed agreements to upgrade and create a new paradigm.

Diplomacy goes a long way when you negotiate, but don’t sell yourself out. You may hit a dealbreaker if you or another have suppressed your real needs, desires and values. In any event, this setup supports the truth (Jupiter) coming out, so the playing field can be reset as needed.

Knowing and trusting your truth is what allows the pieces to fall into their correct places. Life can be confusing (especially now), humans are complicated and we can’t know exactly what to do, be or say in every given moment. It’s impossible. Honoring what is true for you (your “yes-no”) is the way to make decisions as you change, evolve, grow and encounter the unfamiliar. 

We were taught to seek guidance, permission, validation from authorities and outside sources, rather than being attuned to our own Inner Guidance. This is where YOUR truth lies, that no one can know but you. Your mind can be misled, based on false or old information, but your “yes-no” is yours alone. 

Tuning into your inner voice is a spiritual practice that will change your life. And it’s necessary to learn now if you don’t already know how to access it. This is the way to proceed with confidence in the new world that is rapidly accelerating and currently being birthed, as the old one is ending. 

This is a perfect week to consider your values and the structures of your life so you can make any needed upgrades and take actions toward what you value. There’s so much support for change now, but you have to get in the game and leave your comfort zone. Fear of difficulty can keep you on hold, but remember, that’s an idea in your mind that may not really be the case, once you get into action. Just saying…

Wishing you a productive week of movement and loving relationships that evolve you and feed your soul. I wish you a life that feels perfect for you, like a shoe that fits.

Namaste, my friend. I am so grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷
