For people new to the community, you can join my eList HERE to be kept in the loop. I usually send out the APRIL Monthly Missive during the first week of the month, but if/when things come up in-between, you may get the occasional additional email to alert you to events or classes that are time-sensitive.
4/26 • Venus (essence & natural beauty) ~sextile~ Neptune (consciousness & vision):
This energy links your authentic values & priorities with the realm of dreams, mysticism & multiple dimensions. It offers you an opportunity to solidify your vision by simply tapping into the essence that you aspire to experience. By immersing yourself in the feeling associated with that vision, you pave the way for its physical manifestation. This energy instills belief in the realm of possibilities, fostering support for artistic expressions or active practices like crafting vision boards, using affirmations, and anything that refines your new vision of reality. While other planets focus on steps & strategies, Venus prioritizes the essence of Nature, Love & Kinship. Neptune, likewise, is not concerned with ‘steps & strategies’. Instead, it encourages you to tune-in to the natural beauty surrounding you. Set aside your usual inner dialogue for a day or two (as soon as possible) to connect with inspiration guided by your own Heart & Soul—from the inside-out. This inner connection will guide your creative inspirations and allow you to align more deeply with your own true essence.
4/26 • Mercury (thinking & expression) ~square~ Jupiter (consciousness & beliefs):
This energy presents a challenge: it urges you to merge your individual perspective with the grand vision for your life. While it offers a fresh view of the broader perspective, you might find yourself less inclined toward the intricate details required to materialize it. It is a conducive phase for expanding consciousness and thinking innovatively, yet as you gain insights, remain mindful of the necessary steps to transform your ideas into tangible realities. This activation serves as an opportunity for adjusting your course concerning your ideas, thoughts & concepts. It encourages receptivity to new learning or the arrival of vital information, right on time. However, be aware that you will need to stabilize any new beginnings and possibly revisit overlooked details in your eagerness to embrace the newfound truths unveiled from within.
4/26 • Pallas Enters ARIES (until April 30th):
Pallas represents our individual *unique genius* ~ the wisdom that you naturally embody & express. When it is moving through Aries, we have access to healing our self-preservation instincts, physical fitness and any apathy or stagnation going on right now. This energy gives us the urge to fight for something vital and important to our very survival and there’s plenty of that in the social/collective realms, but personally, this is an initiation and an activation of any planets in Aries. Pallas linking up with Chiron in Aries also bodes well for the ability to access deep healing & expanded education around you, the individual. It’s personal! If you want to set intentions around your individuality, freedom, healing & wholeness or if you want to set intentions around your personal purpose & new beginnings, then this is a good time & energy to tap into. It takes Pallas almost 5-years to make it through all 12-Signs so use the energy for what it is good for: YOU! Reset your connection to your own Truth & Purpose for here & now, not 5 or 50-years ago!
4/28 • Venus (relationships & resources) ~trine~ Pluto (purification & transformation):
When Pluto enters the scene, intensity rises, allowing you to perceive your SoulSelf with heightened clarity. Venus, on the other hand, illuminates what truly matters to you—your personal values, priorities & preferences around your relationships & resources. If change is in the air, then this harmonious alignment facilitates smoother purification & transformation than usual. So, what changes are you prepared to make? How have your values & priorities shifted in the past year? Utilize this activation to deepen connections with those closest to your heart, encouraging relationships to evolve to their own natural next levels. If you are focused on improving your relationship with money or self-worth, consider using this time for prayer or ritual to support positive change and envision a brighter future. Harness any intense emotions or poignant revelations by channeling them into art or creating a vision board, expressing the profound depths emerging from within and rising into your conscious awareness. This energy tends to amplify relationships and intensifies emotions, fostering a strong emotional & physical attraction toward someone else. It encourages a compelling need to express love mentally, emotionally or physically. Such intensity can also bring deeper insights to the surface, ultimately strengthening any relationships, partnerships or collaborations. Relationships initiated under this influence typically carry a heightened intensity, just as any form of creative expression, whether artistic or otherwise.
5/1 • Venus (relationships & finances) ~sextile~ Saturn (responsibility & organization):
This energy revolves around your obligations, within the context of relationships. These are not necessarily burdensome commitments, but rather, they underscore the importance of genuinely serving those you hold dear. It is a phase that demands authenticity in personal relationships and financial matters. This activation urges you to define and strengthen whatever new values & priorities that you are establishing at this time. I strongly advocate for redefining terms as situations evolve because as you grow and your needs change, it is essential to communicate these changes to those closest to you. Achieving the next level of growth becomes challenging when roles & responsibilities are not clearly defined or allowed to evolve. It all begins with understanding your own desires & non-negotiables and what you are willing to compromise to manifest the reality that you wish to live.
5/1 • SCORPIO Full Moon:
The Scorpio Full Moon always shines a bright light on that which we may have overlooked, suppressed or postponed that will no longer remain hidden. Any Scorpio Moon can be very emotionally intense to experience & navigate, so rather than let it plunge you to the depths of the Underworld, try to consciously choose an aspect of your Being or your life that you are ready, willing and finally, able to truly *release* and ask that the Universe support this process with ease & grace. Humans are creatures of habit and generally, resist letting go but honestly, that will only intensify & prolong any pain you may already be experiencing. Take your power back by choosing to allow whatever it is to go from your life so that it can either come back in a higher, purified form or something even better can grow up in its place that would better suit your needs at this time anyway. Remember, Scorpio is RAW Truth, don’t try to make sense of it until next month (when the Sag Full Moon brings in the Higher Truth), right now, just work on surrender & acceptance as well as reclaiming your own power to direct your life. This is a potent time for consciously co-creating with the Life/Death/Life Cycle. What in/around you needs to “die” so that something new can be seeded to come into existence? This Full Moon asks you to define your deepest, core values (Taurus) and then asks: What are you willing to sacrifice (Scorpio/Power) for something of greater value to you (Taurus/Garden)? This Scorpio Full Moon will reveal many things and connect you to your own Soul’s desires, as well as fears, catalyzing the deepest of all surrenders. Some aspect of life has truly died, but only in the way that it creates space & nutrient for new life to take root. Scorpio Full Moon gives you a chance to release or compost whatever has outgrown its natural lifespan. Take some time to *cleanse & purify* your system of all that has grown toxic or run its natural course. Use this energy to release waste, debris & the nonessential and use the light of the Full Moon to bathe yourself with new life, vitality & power.
5/2 • Mercury Enters TAURUS (until June 3rd):
Mercury in Taurus activates our senses as our primary communicators. Mercury rules all the information that we take in – mentally, physically, emotionally & spiritually so when we are processing that information through the Taurus lens, then we must engage our 6-senses in order to learn or discover truth. Your senses give you so much information but with food & pharmaceuticals disconnecting them or dulling them down, you may have to do a cleanse just to get them to function properly. Mercury in Taurus helps us all get very practical, activating our common sense. It is time to be very pragmatic by asking the value & worth of all that you engage in, all of which has just gotten renewed in Aries. We can claim a whole new level of self-expression – we can add our own unique essence to our creative ideas – and we can make new choices, based on renewed values & priorities. We are activating our imaginations to help beautify our environment and cultivate creative solutions to our current challenges, individual, social & collective. Use this energy to upgrade the little things that make life comfortable, enjoyable & beautiful! It is time to move forward with more clarity on which ideas will be worth your time, energy, money & investment of effort going forward.
