Neptune at 0º Aries is initiating activity that creates movement and contraction in the collective, as radical changes can destabilize existing structures and 3D operating systems (including yours). Because Neptune is involved reality and resistance are a little floaty and blurry, making it hard to find your footing or get clear about what’s happening (one foot forward, one foot back).

 

Part of the mental confusion has to do with Mercury Retrograde in Pisces that’s downshifting to stop and turn Direct on April 7, inviting you to attune to your inner guidance for direction or clarity. Mercury is near the North Node in Pisces, which may bring fated messages or ideas through – and if so, pay attention. 

 

April 4 – Saturn trine Mars, Saturn sextile Uranus, Mars sextile Uranus. This three-way configuration is known as a Minor Grand Trine and is very beneficial. Watch the magic unfold! 

 

Saturn trine Mars. Patience, methodical actions, building, strategic efforts that lead to results that unfold later. 

 

Saturn sextile Uranus. This is exact today and will be operational for much of the year, supporting creative balance between the old and new, allowing for risk, innovation and experimentation, while maintaining stability. 

 

Mars sextile Uranus. A fresh approach, new interest or discovery, a spark or aspect of Self may be revealed that’s been dormant (very exciting!), and you may have a download that opens doors for you. If you feel impulsive, Saturn is grounding, as it helps to balance excitement with reason, but Mars-Uranus can give you the impetus to try things that the “old you” normally wouldn’t and help you break out of the box! 

 

April 6 – Sun sextile Jupiter. Supports confidence, well being, blessings, envisioning a bigger picture and the inspiration to follow through with action – or a day of enjoyment. It’s a harmonious, expansive day. 

 

Venus trine Mars. A creative, social day, good for dating, romance, relating and artistic collaborations. 

 

April 7 – Mercury Stations Direct. As always, when Mercury stops to change direction it can feel like nothing is happening – or it can feel like Mercury Retro on steroids (with lots of snafus) – and with Mercury in Pisces, a dreamy sign, it’s not good for details or linear thinking. Move carefully today and know that it will take about a week before Mercury picks up steam.

 

New info will come to light that will inform what you are planning, working on, thinking about – and you will receive new insights that will empower your decision-making. But things will really shift mentally when Mercury enters Aries on April 16 and you will have much more clarity, energy and passion for projects.

 

With Mercury conjunct Saturn, you may notice what’s wrong or missing, but Mercury is also sextile Uranus and trine Mars, so there are other perspectives through which you can find relief from any heaviness if you are creative and flexible and if you seek alternative solutions. Or you may create a plan and be able to implement an innovative way to make it happen.

 

Venus Retrograde conjunct Saturn. Consider how you value your Self, your money, your relationships, your desires and all aspects regarding your quality of life – and what you want to change, if anything. Decide what needs an upgrade or attention, restructuring or renewal. Start with your Self, the center of it ALL – and your boundaries: what you will and won’t allow. Be aware of any course corrections that are needed to honor your beautiful Self, as there will be a final check in on April 24 when Venus is Direct to see where you are and how you’re doing. 

 

April 8 – Venus Retrograde sextile Uranus. Creative solutions are on the menu for anything that came up in the Venus-Saturn check in yesterday, but no cosmetic surgery, tattoos, anything permanent or big decisions during Venus Retrograde (as a rule), b/c when it goes Direct, you may have a different mindset and see things in a new light or through a new lens. Just make a plan or brainstorm.

 

April 12 – Full Moon in Libra 5:22pm PDT. A Full Moon is the culmination of things or when things come to light, so notice what comes to fruition now, either in the form of a creation or an ending. The Libra-Aries axis addresses relationships and the compromises necessary to maintain them vs. your personal will and desires. If anything needs correction for you and your relationships, be proactive and responsible for the way you interact with others and move through life. 

 

The Libra Moon is “we” energy and the Aries Sun is “Me.” The Sun conjoins Chiron (Wounded Healer / Spiritual Teacher Archetype) in Aries. This can activate issues around reticence, trusting your Authority or fear-based issues in general. Take inventory of your codependent tendencies to see if you’re betraying yourself by seeking permission, agreement or approval rather than honoring your truth. Whatever you find is here to be seen and lovingly integrated. 

 

April 12 – The Ruler of the Full Moon in Libra is Venus in Pisces, which is exalted. The main expression of Venus is love, beauty, relationships and money – all charged areas that are not only deeply personal issues, but that also have the potential for extraordinary transformation and in Pisces, transcendence. This is the gift – to rise from the lower expression of an energy into its higher expression. People will treat you the way you treat yourself, so treat yourself with respect, dignity and tender loving care. You are important.

 

You are “in process” in this unfamiliar chapter of personal and collective evolution, in which you are called to feel your way through life, allowing your inner guidance to direct you as you take your next steps. This process can be anxiety-provoking if you aren’t connected to your Inner Authority, meaning, that in order to feel any degree of comfort you must trust yourself and be aligned with your Higher Self or Inner Guidance.

 

We have a stellium (group) of nonlinear planets in Pisces inviting you to attune to Spirit on one hand and the Sun conjunct Chiron (Master Healer) in Aries on the other, asking you to step into your will, independent spirit and Truth, and address any places in which you have sacrificed your integrity for the sake of harmony. It’s time to shake off old passive identities and take a stand for your Evolving Self, whatever that means for you right now. 

 

April 16 – Mercury in Aries. Clarity, direct communications, mental alertness and quick decisions. Lively conversations, reach out and make those calls, take actions. You (and others) will have a lot to say!

 

Mercury conjunct Neptune. Creative writing, channeling, intuitive communications, composition, writing music, singing, toning, chanting, automatic writing and heartfelt networking in flow. 

 

April 17 – Mars in Leo. Finally! Mars leaves emotional Cancer for bold, courageous Leo – decisive, acting with heart and a solid plan, comfortable with leadership and ready to deal with something you may have left behind last year. This should give you a great boost of energy and renewed motivation going forward. 

 

There is so much activity in the first half of the month, but we won’t really be free action-wise until Mercury and Venus both turn Direct after April 12 – and then when Mars moves from Cancer into Leo we will really feel energized. 

 

Recognize that the Pisces planets are inviting you to process on the inner planes intuitively, to withdraw from the noisy world in order to rest your mind, commune with your Inner Guidance to see what comes through. Saturn is there with a reality check or quality control, testing for viability, as well as the North Node of Destiny with fated downloads, meetings and messages. There is so much happening, even though it’s often via the subtle bodies and in flow…

 

The Sun, Chiron and Neptune in Aries invite you to take actions toward your independence, honoring your truth and trusting your Self. One foot in the inner world – one foot in the outer world, each working on your behalf in various ways for your Greater Good. You’re being workshopped and reconfigured as new frequencies are incoming. What a time to be alive and a bridge between the old and the new world!

 

🌟 🌟 I will be away next week, so I’ll be back on April 18th.

 

Expect good things and as always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

We’re on the verge of a Solar Eclipse in Aries, leaning into a monumental new beginning – while Neptune is at the final degree of the zodiac (29º Pisces), a space for spiritual closure, as you leave something(s) behind and release what’s not meant to go forward with you. 

 

Moving back and forth through this sacred space (29º Pisces to 0º Aries – the beginning of The Beginning), where planets have been traversing is part of why life has felt so confusing/destabilizing and hard to gain traction with new plans. Ultimately, the Pisces planets will shift forward into Aries allowing for momentum building, but that will take some time. 

 

March 29 – Solar Eclipse in Aries is @ 3:58am PDT. A major new beginning, a wild card shakeup that can bring unpredictable events – often world events. In Aries, we can expect to see action and get more clarity. A Solar Eclipse is a turbo-charged New Moon that often creates fated events, endings and new beginnings that can shift your life in a heartbeat. Or it can be the beginning of a story that unfolds until the next set of Eclipses.

 

Aries is a quick start, an independent spirit that takes bold actions by following its impulses. Let’s remember Aries’ mission: to be your independent Self rather than to fit in or make others happy. You may want to take inventory of your codependent tendencies to see if you’re betraying yourself by seeking permission, agreement or approval rather than honoring your truth – and make any needed corrections.

 

The Aries Solar Eclipse is ruled by Mars, and Mars is squaring Chiron (Wounded Healer / Spiritual Teacher Archetype). This can activate any issues you have around Self-doubt, confidence in asserting yourself, trusting your Inner Authority, safety or fear-based issues in general. If they arise, they are here to be seen, healed and integrated, (compassionately), so don’t resist what you find. Consider it an act of Self-love, for your wholeness and evolution.

 

The North Node of Destiny and Venus Retrograde in Pisces and Mercury Retrograde are all conjunct the Solar Eclipse in Aries and they invite you to attune to your Inner Guidance for direction. You are being asked to be willing to step into unfamiliar territory going forward during this time of exponential change. It’s very “Yellow Brick Road,” without the road… You will make it up as you go along…

 

The Pisces planets are your inner GPS, here to show you the way and the timing that’s right for you as the Aries planets give you the motivation to pursue your desires, but you may be in preparation mode for a bit before it’s time for any big steps. Don’t push (and the Aries may be impatient :)) Trust in Divine Timing. 

 

March 29 – Mercury Retrograde in Pisces. On the evening of the Eclipse, Mercury retrogrades from Aries into Pisces, where it will stay until April 16 and Mercury conjuncts Neptune upon arrival in Pisces. Mercury in Pisces conjunct Neptune is aligned for creatives, spiritual pursuits, selfless service, empathy and compassion, but not for left-brain detail work. So be mindful, as this is a double-whammy setup for snafus, miscommunications or mixups. Double-check everything and take your time. Be spacious for best results.

 

March 30 – Neptune in Aries. Neptune (Ruler of Pisces) is one of the three outer planets (with Uranus and Pluto) that affects the collective and moves very slowly. It takes 164 years to orbit the zodiac, so we haven’t experienced this energy in our modern world. Neptune stays in Aries until late Oct ’25 when it briefly returns to Pisces for three months and then in late Jan ’26 if moves into Aries for good years. 

 

Neptune is the planet of illusion, creativity, imagination, transcendence, dreams, intuition, Oneness, Spirit, connection to higher realms, no boundaries, flow – and in lower expressions: depression, anxiety, addiction, deception, worry, martyrdom, self-undoing, sloth and delusion. Also, sacrifice which can be a higher or lower expression depending on the intention. 

 

Neptune in Aries is the Spiritual Warrior, Maverick or Pioneer. Where are you ready to forge a new path, blaze a new trail or even pursue your own fresh approach to something? If this is connecting with you personally, you are feeling it and have been activated already. You may not have all the answers, but you are percolating and generating some kind of movement within even if it hasn’t manifested externally yet.

 

You could be a radical type who goes rogue and does your own thing, defying convention and thumbing your nose at old school rules and regulations. Or you may be more low key, but still do your own thing after years of rule-following, watching systems break down and become willing to take a chance on your Self or alternative paths of operating that feel more Self-empowered. “Self” is the keyword with Aries

 

We are only at the threshold of this very new day, so stay tuned to your inner promptings and the world around you. Pay attention to messages you receive, journal, write your intentions or record your thoughts to document ideas that come up for you – you never know what flash of inspiration or Higher Guidance you may deliver to your Self. And find the joy and the aliveness within YOU! 

 

Expect good things and as always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 

 

“Enlightenment is you undefined by fear.” ~ Emmanuel

 

“Creativity happens at the border between chaos and order. Chaos is a prelude to creativity. We need to learn, as every artist needs to learn, to live with chaos and to dance with it, as we listen to it and attempt some ordering. ”  ~ Matthew Fox

 

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.”             ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are traveling through the Eclipse Wormhole (a cosmic portal linking disparate realities), between the March 14 Lunar Eclipse and the upcoming Solar Eclipse on March 29. Neptune is at the last degree of Pisces at 29º (the end of the zodiac), before it enters Aries on March 30 following the Solar Eclipse. We are in a liminal phase and in labor, on the precipice of a rebirth that is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before, as Neptune hasn’t been in Aries in 164 years. This will be a whole new (world) experience for us. 

 

But there’s more…

 

Venus and Mercury are Retrograde in Aries, with Venus leading and Mercury following close behind – and they will each conjoin the Sun, marking the midpoint of their Retrograde cycles that is a powerful reset and time of internal reflection. When Venus or Mercury is conjunct the Sun, they are Cazimi, in the heart of the Sun.

 

March 22 – Venus Cazimi Sun. This is the beginning of a new Venus cycle for the coming 19 months and it’s prime time to review your values, relationships and how you value your Self – past, present and what you want to create for your future. All the changes happening in the world should support you in crystallizing your priorities and getting clear about what really matters to you – now and when Venus turns Direct (April 12). 

 

Venus in Aries is independent, Self-centered (not seeking agreement, permission, approval), and honors its passions, whatever they are. This is where you came to initiate or instigate something, to make a move or make your mark, to express yourself and BE who you ARE. What might that be for you?

 

March 23 – Sun sextile Pluto. This is a day when you are likely to feel confident, strong and prepared to tackle a major project or take on anything requiring focus and stamina. Your personal power is be high, you may be magnetic, attracting people in positions of power or authority. The guidance is to stay in integrity and use any power you acquire for good, especially the Greater Good (karma points for that :)).  

 

March 24 – Mercury Cazimi Sun. This is an invitation to open to Divine Guidance, messages or revelations that inform your vision, your future and any decisions or course corrections you choose to make. Allow new info, ideas, clarity and illuminations in your consciousness to align you with wisdom and insight, as ideas that come through now are the seeds of your future. Journal, channel, contemplate, sit in silence to create sacred space so you can receive and hear…

 

March 25 – Mercury sextile Pluto. Mercury-Pluto is fertile for focusing mental energy to research, write, create, gain clarity, recognize patterns or problem solve. This is CSI energy, like being in a vortex, where you are the detective and truth comes to light, as Pluto rules what’s hidden. 

 

You may explore inner realms for buried awareness, or you may deliver a profound message that makes an impact on you, others, and the world. Messengers, teachers, collaborators – whoever, whatever you are drawn to is part of your new story, so pay attention to what comes into your arena and be discerning as you consider new ideas and players during this time of extreme movement.

 

March 27 – April 30. Venus Retrograde in Pisces. Venus is now back in old territory, where it was in late Jan – early Feb, so you may find yourself reviewing topics that you were dealing with then. This is a gentler, softer Venus, more receptive, fluid, compassionate than Venus in Aries – and more accommodating.

 

Venus conjunct Neptune. Just as Venus returns to Pisces, it aligns with Neptune at the final degree of Pisces. This is dreamy, spiritual, intuitive, creative energy, best for healing and Wu Wei (flowing around obstacles). Very sensitive, you may have low vitality, as the energy is called within and it’s best to recharge in nature, via spiritual practices or you may just want to relax today. 

 

March 29 – Solar Eclipse in Aries is @ 3:58am PDT. A major new beginning, a wild card shakeup that can bring fated, unpredictable events – often world events. In Aries, we can expect to see action and get more clarity. This week preceding the Eclipse may contain a sneak peek of some themes you’ll experience during and after it – stay tuned to see how things unfold and I’ll talk more about the Solar Eclipse next week.

 

Take good care, use the energy well and as always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

“Right now the world is in calamity because it is preparing for a quantum leap into another vibrational dimension. Your role is to not be on the left or the right, to be the this or the that. Your role is to step back far enough, to see the whole process, and to stand in the feeling tone of Oneness.” – Rev. Michael Beckwith

The current astro setup is layered with events, one after the next, creating waves of change that can wash over you, pull you backwards or move you around so you may feel disoriented and not know where you are at any given moment. As always, focus on events from a higher perspective in order to find your balance.

March 13 @ 11:55pm PDT – Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo
The Lunar Eclipse may have highlighted an area of your life that is complete or that has run its course. If you don’t surrender, purge or release it, it may end or be taken away, or you may be dragged until you let go or get the message. Is a release needed? If so, soul growth is waiting behind it, but first a clearing needs to happen. The Sun conjunct Saturn in Pisces on the Lunar Eclipse invites you to trust your Self and your Inner Guidance. Don’t look outside your Self for validation – go within – and with the North Node and Neptune in Pisces, trust that All is in Divine Order.

The Full Moon in Virgo is a busy bee, ruling health, wellness, service and it wants to get everything in order, perfectly, now, which can activate neurotic worry or anxiety. But the North Node, Sun and Neptune are in Pisces radiating peace, stillness and connection to All That Is (hint: Be Here Now :))

If you want to check out due to overwhelm, I recommend choosing a healthy expression to soothe yourself, like communing with nature and animals, listening to music, having a massage or a bath – anything that calms your nervous system. Meditation, yoga, chanting, walking. Keep it simple.

Pisces energy is the mystical power of Being, imagination, compassion and empathy. It radiates Divine Love. Can you feel the relaxation in that? It can create disillusionment or confusion when misdirected – but even confusion can be an opening – and Pisces works by dissolving or unwinding old structures that have outlived their usefulness. With the North Node in Pisces, you are being called to lean into faith, surrender and trust in the unseen realms – that you are being led somewhere good for you, even when you can’t see what or where that is.

Mercury 15 – April 7 – Mercury Retrograde. The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo is ruled by Mercury (the mind, your thinking) – and Mercury is now turning backwards in Aries to retrace its steps, to review, revise and reassess the territory it covered since the beginning of March. Mercury is in Aries traveling just a few degrees behind Venus Retrograde in Aries – so you’re thinking about your values. (They will both Retrograde into Pisces later in the month, more to come in the weeks ahead).

With Mercury and Venus in Aries, the focus is on where you are now – the “boxes” you come from – your thinking, what you value, what you aspire to, your belief system, years of accumulated indoctrination. What is true, what is real? Does anyone know?

With all the accelerated deconstruction and paradigm shifts, as Mercury rewinds and follows Venus’ path, it is possible that you can give your old ideas and alliances a second look to see what still applies in your evolving landscape. Are you open to anything new? Have you changed, shifted, evolved – are you willing?

This is Aries time – Aries is the Self – Me, I Am. You decide who you are, what you think, what you do, who you love. Many people don’t know who they really are, even though they think they do. They are being who they were programmed to be… So it’s a BIG deal to consciously reconsider who you are, who you want to be and to deliberately choose what you think rather than being obedient, following the crowd (even the spiritual crowd), reacting to social media, media or seeking external validation.

In these profoundly changing times, it’s a next level check in and potential course correction. Where are you now? What matters to you and what are you thinking? That’s my perspective on this Mercury Retrograde in Aries, that will be followed by the infinite potential of Mercury Retrograde in Pisces – then you’ll have another perspective to consider.

March 19 – Sun conjunct Neptune. This is a go with the flow day, Higher realms, right-brained, beautiful for spiritual practices, nature, rest and leisure activities, as well as creative expression, compassionate and mystical connections.

March 20 – Sun in Aries / Spring Equinox. Happy Astrological New Year! We cross the World Point (0º Aries), the beginning of the zodiac, as we enter the Spring season and everything is fresh, alive and ready to grow. This is a technically a new beginning, but it doesn’t really feel like it.

Aries is ruled by Mars, now Direct and starting to pick up a little steam, but still not traveling very fast. Mercury and Venus are Retrograde in Aries, so they’re moving backwards, while the Sun is going forward in Aries, trying to create some traction. Conflicting energies by multiple planets flowing in different directions and you can feel it – a little bipolar and you don’t really get anywhere significant, so don’t push yourself (or anyone else). Be patient and know that a Solar Eclipse in Aries is coming on March 29, that will be a major new beginning!

As I said last week, I suggest that you allow twice as much time to do half as many things whenever possible, as space is nurturing for the soul – whether it’s physical, mental or emotional.

All the clearing and releasing you do that unfolds in the days ahead is creating space for what’s to come when the Solar Eclipse brings the new arrivals. Your job is to align with your Higher Self and be receptive to the Goodness that awaits you.

Expect the best, even if you don’t know what it is, as you allow in what energizes and nourishes you.

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
