We have just completed the final meeting of Venus and Saturn in Pisces, one of several inner planetary Retrogrades that has taken you on a journey in consciousness and now you’ve landed somewhere new.
Venus is your values, how you value your Self, your creativity and what you love – and Saturn is a reality check, commitment and the consequences of your actions. It will show you where you stand.
What has shifted, fallen away or evolved during this time? You may be ready to make some new decisions. In the coming week, you’ll traverse the last few degrees of Venus in soulful Pisces, and then you’ll take the frequency of your dreams and unconditional love into Aries. But first…
April 26 – Mars opposite Pluto. This is the third meeting of this combustible pair, bringing potential power struggles, control, manipulation, competition or a catalyst that activates you (or others), creating breakthroughs or breakdowns in relationships.
It’s here to shake up the status quo with a pattern disrupt to break up stagnant energy. This may not aTect you personally, but if it does, make it productive by finding where you are out of alignment, how you react when you’re triggered and be willing to get real when confronted with issues around power dynamics and how you fight. If it’s aTecting you, it’s here to awaken you to a new reality.
If there’s a problem and you’re involved, get the memo. This has come to you for integration, so you can move forward with new freedom and empowerment. It may not feel like it at the time, but this is a gift.
April 27 – New SuperMoon in Taurus @ 12:31pm PDT. The New SuperMoon (extra close to the earth) is the time for new beginnings, for taking actions directed toward what you want to create or call into your life and this New SuperMoon completes the Eclipse Wormhole that began on Feb 27, delivering you to a new paradigm. Oh, how the world is rapidly changing…
The Sun and Moon in Taurus are ruled by Venus in Pisces, which is exalted, seeking peace, beauty, harmony, stability and is grounded in simplicity. Taurus is a builder, moving slowly
and steadily with a plan. It is the energy of practical obedience, attuned to Inner Guidance, aligned with the heart to manifest security and abundance – and it is supported all week by Uranus sextile the North Node, seeking new paths for future opportunities.
Taurus loves comfort and pleasure (one of their superpowers), which doesn’t have to be expensive or fancy. They love food that tastes good, soft pillows, sheets, towels and comfy furniture, as well as flowers, farmer’s markets and their favorite coTee mug and fresh veggies or (fill in the blank). Do what makes you feel good.
Walk in the park, dig in the garden, listen to your favorite music – anything that stimulates your senses. Taurus is tactile and loves touch. Have a massage or reflexology, take a bath with epsom salts and essential oils, put coconut oil lovingly on your body. You get the idea. Pamper your Self in a way that’s right for you.
Venus in Pisces rules this New Moon, so women may figure in your New Moon rituals, relationships may play a part or it may be beauty that is highlighted. Write your New Moon Intentions after the Moon is New and place them on your altar where you see them (and say them) every day when you do your meditation.
April 30 – Venus in Aries. Venus returns to Aries, where it was in Feb – late March, then it Retrograded back into Pisces and it’s here until June 6. After flowing and dreaming, Venus is ready to go and fulfill her desires. But she’s still recovering her shadow until May 10, retracing what what happening in Feb and March before she lands in new territory later in May. Nevertheless, Venus will be hot to trot, on fire to do something!
May 1 – Beltane. This is the mid-point between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice, a time of fertility, abundance and sacred union. Transformational powers are released, allowing you to break free of old patterns and renew your commitment to the earth and to the deepest parts of your Self.
May Day honors the Goddess Maia, who the month is named for. The May Day festival celebrates the power of flowers and flower essences, while rituals include gathering flowers for baskets and Maypole dancing, and the Maypole centers the group to receive the earth spirit.
The week begins with a jolt of sorts, the completion of the Mars-Pluto oppositions that can elevate us to a new awareness if our (third) eye is open – and after that, we are blessed with a beautiful New SuperMoon in old school Taurus, bringing us down to earth to bask in what
is real in the material world.
Do yourself a favor and step away from your computer screen, put down your phone and go outside in the sunshine. Or take a walk in the rain, watch the animals that live in your area, enjoy the natural habitat – the grass, the river, the trees, whatever is there. Nature is a precious gift – this is a time to honor and bless it.
Center yourself and do Taurus practices. Earthing is the process of absorbing earth’s free flowing electrons from its surface through the soles of ones’ feet. This will help you to stabilize you as you disconnect from old beliefs, structures and paradigms. Earthing mats are a substitute if you can’t walk on grass (google it).
You are clearing space for the incoming frequencies and creations that will continue to arrive. What a time to be alive and a bridge between the old and the new world!
Expect good things and as always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
