Welcome And Podcast Purpose

SPEAKER_00 0:02

Welcome to the Rochelle Christian Podcast. I'm Rochelle, your host. I'm here to help you come back to your body, take charge of your emotions, and live life on your terms. This podcast is a space for raw, real conversations about what it means to trust yourself, lean to your power, and create a life that feels aligned and alive. We'll explore human design, astrology, and other tools to help you understand your unique energy. More importantly, though, we're gonna talk about what it means to actually live and embody these aspects. So each week I'm gonna share stories, lessons, guidance to help you navigate life's challenges and really own your magic. So if you're ready to step up, take control, and show up as the most authentic version of you, let's begin. Welcome back to another episode on the podcast. We have a lot to get into today because April's transits are many and they're really big. And so this could be a really intense time. And I have been saying, make sure you're getting enough rest, make sure you're drinking enough water, make sure you're nurturing your body, make sure you're getting enough sleep. Uh, moving your body, especially with Aries movement is such a huge part of this Aries energy. So make sure that you're tending to your basic needs because we might be feeling anxious this month, we might just be like moving so quickly. And part of Aries' shadow is that it moves so quickly that it doesn't even kind of pause to get to know itself or to think of the consequences or to just be in like what's happening. It's just like on to the next kind of like really fast movement. Like it initiates a lot of things, but it doesn't necessarily always follow through on a lot of things. And with so much in Aries, like by April 15th, we're gonna have six planets and then seven, including the moon, all in Aries. Like this is massive. And I think there's gonna be asteroids in there uh as well. I think Pam Gregory said there's gonna be nine planets there, including asteroids. Uh, so it's gonna be intense. And it's interesting, this is very masculine energy. This is very action-oriented, this is very go-getter, this is assertion, this is aggression, it's a warrior archetype. And the thing with astrology is I was reading a book on it's you know, medical astrology. I guess we'll say it's astrology in your health, which is essentially medical astrology. And in the beginning of the book, he was talking about like astrology isn't anything to believe. There's no belief system with astrology. It literally simply is, right? It's been studied for centuries. People have been following it for centuries to really map out their health, to map, you know, farming, to map the cycles, all sorts of things are our cycle as a woman. Like there's so much to it. And again, so archetypes, layering on archetypes with astrology really helps us get familiar with ourselves. It helps us see ourselves through that lens of astrology. It helps us connect with our shadows, the unconscious. And so it's just a really beautiful thing. And I was really reflecting with a friend this week. We were having a conversation about just life and business. And I was getting slightly frustrated with the reflection that she was mirroring to me because it was true. And, you know, those things that we see that are truth are sometimes hard to look at. And this is where Aries, you know, Aries naturally rules the first house. It is ruled by Mars, and the opposite of the first house is the seventh house. So we have the self and we have the relationships. Also, within the first house is our rising sign. And our rising is typically what people see when they first meet us. And the key is if we can be open enough to see ourselves through the mirror of others, we can learn so much about ourselves. It's not to say that others' perception is true, but all truths are but half-truths, right? So if we can hear, like be open to hearing what someone else has to say, their feedback, there's often a layer of truth within that, even if it's just your reaction to it. Like, I don't like the way that you see me, that really triggers me. Well, why does that trigger me, right? There is some truth to it. So, kind of like looking through that lens can be really helpful when it comes to astrology. And I've been really diving into the feminine. Uh, I've been reading, I just finished Mysteries of a Dark Moon. I'm now currently reading the female brain, which is fascinating because literally male and female brains work different. Every brain is a female brain. I believe they said until eight weeks in utero. And then as testosterone kicks in for boys, it sort of changes their brain. The communication and emotion uh part of the brain shrinks and the sex part of the brain expands. And so it's just really fascinating. But sort of like coming in and reclaiming this feminine energy. I am a Leorizing, which means the sun rules my chart. My son is in Taurus, which is Venus ruled. And for so much of my life, I've really been trying to embody kind of this Aries energy, this action, this like aggressive, aggression, aggressive, we'll say aggression, which I'm not aggressive at all. Um, but I always thought that that's what was valued. And so I felt for the longest time that me being me and my flow and being feminine was just like wrong. And so over the last few years, I've been really reclaiming my feminine and really reading and learning more about history. Um, I'm writing a blog right now, and I had no idea that during the witch trials, nine million, which is crazy. I don't know exactly where that number came from. I'd have to dig a little bit deeper. But nine million witches were burned at the stake, which is so many, like nine million. No wonder the feminine is so suppressed because the thing is to embody and step into like that divine feminine. There is this like darkness to it, and it doesn't mean bad, right? I think we associate dark with bad, but it's not, it's just this darker sort of energy where we can heal and come into our unconscious and kind of like do that sort of work. This sort of, I think where the darkness and bad is associated is when we then make the feminine sexualized or we make it um, there's just so many different archetypes that go along with it, right? And, you know, that sort of like healing and witchy, magic, intuitive, right? It's it's gotten this stigma of just like being bad or evil or demonized. And when we reclaim that, there be, you know, in my mind, what makes complete sense is that as the feminine, we have this witch, literal witch wound. Like we know that trauma is passed on through generation to generation. I think it's like seven generations past. And forgive me, I don't actually know when the witches witch trials were. Um, but I would imagine it's I actually don't know. And I should have looked at that before. I'm gonna quickly do a real quick Google search of when were the witch trials, so that we can see when it was February 1692. So I don't know if that's generations, uh, seven generations. Either way, that many women suffering, being murdered for being feminine, for being intuitive, for believing in magic, for owning that part of themselves. Nine million women women, witches being burned, like that trauma carries. And so when you step in, like one of our core needs is connection, especially the feminine needs communication, needs connection. There was this in the female brain, they talk about how baby girls will map your face. They really want to know your face. And little girls will go out in a playground and they'll talk to other girls, they'll talk to people, whereas boys don't do the same thing. Boys don't necessarily map your face. They said when boys go out in a playground, they just pick up rocks and they throw rocks, right? They're just like very different. This like connection piece is really important. And so when you embody, step into that energy, there is this cellular fear of being rejected and outcast from society or even burnt at the stake, right? Like there is that fear innately within us, and our brains are wired for survival. So it makes sense that it's been so suppressed for so long, but there definitely is a rise in the feminine. And when I talk about the feminine, I don't necessarily mean women, I just mean the feminine energy. There's a reclamation of the feminine energy that I think that we all need to find more balance of. And it's not going so far on the one side that it's like all we have is the feminine. Because if you look back, even through times of like Lumeria and then Atlantis, like there needs to be a balance because too much of one doesn't work and too much of the other doesn't work, is what we're really seeing now. And so, like, how can we find that balance? And that's the key. So, even like when we think about manifestation, I think so much of us in this world doing the manifestation work, a lot of times we just think that we need to flow and we need to manifest, we need to match the vibration, and everything's gonna happen. And also, there is an action piece. We have to take aligned action. I have been witnessing this so much where it's like I was praying like the last week of the week before, and I was talking about, you know, career and and and work and what I should be doing. And I was like, God, just like make it obvious and make it easy. And sure enough, it literally, I think it was the next day, in walks somebody that offered me something that is literally everything that I'm looking for, and it was obvious and it was easy. But in the waiting phase, all of these inner narratives came in. Well, I haven't done that before. I don't know if I could do that. What if I fail? What if I'm bad at it? What if I all these like what ifs? Like, oh my gosh, that's like anxiety of like, I'm not gonna be able to do that. I should just stay doing what I'm doing, even though I'm not happy with what I'm doing. Blah, blah, blah all these things came up. And so there is this action piece of like, okay, it was obvious. It was easy. It walked right in and literally offered me something that I've been looking for. And now I have to do the work. The action is like, I have to show up. I have to get my shit in order. I have to get my resume ready. I have to like go to an interview, like all of these pieces that cause me anxiety, then like, oh my God, but what if I fail? Okay, what if I do fail? But I think that the biggest piece of that is what if I succeed? I think that's more of what we're afraid of than failing. Because if I fail, I'm not my current circumstances aren't actually going to be changed. What will be changed is if I succeed, if I step into that energy, that's more responsibility, that's more money, that's more all of these things. And that is actually what we fear more. And so all of this like nervous system regulation, whether it's meditation, walking outside, the weather here is starting to be beautiful. So I'm able to walk outside more. And I love walking to the gym in the morning and just like getting those steps in, getting outside, getting in nature, getting fresh air. Um, and so it's just a really interesting, you know, we again we have to have that balance of like, yes, we need to mash the frequency. We need to step into that energy, we need to act as if, we need to embody what we're calling in. And also we have to take aligned action. That's the piece that I think so many of us miss. And then we wonder why we're not manifesting anything, which we're always manifesting something from our subconscious beliefs. And so that's why that work is so important to be doing. All that being said, let's dive into the transits because, like I said, there are a lot this month. There's so much going on. I actually didn't even look. I should be better prepared. I didn't even look at what the um moon gates were in. So let's really, really, really quickly. So the full moon, we start off April 1st with the full moon in Libra. This is at 9 11 p.m., 12 degrees, 21 minutes of Libra. So I'm gonna find that really quick. So this is gate 48. This is the gate of depth. Gate 48. Um, okay, so Libra is all about balance, it's all about harmony. It is about justice as well. It's about the law. And so what Libra does really beautifully, Libra is ruled by Venus, and it's very Venus ruling Taurus is kind of more raw, sensual, that kind of feminine, like the wild woman archetype is what I always think. Whereas Libra is more defined, refined, not defined, refined. Libra is more, you know, it's aesthetic, it's art, it's beauty. And what Libra does really beautifully is that it will create art in order to spark a movement. So what I see where I want justice, Libra can be a little bit more people pleasy. It can be just, you know, let's not rock the boat. But I can funnel what I the injustice that I see into art, whether it's something written, whether it's a painting, whether it's music, something. Like there's some sort of art form, a beautifully aesthetically pleasing art form that will spark people into movement. And we're the sun is in Aries, which is what a full moon is, and any polarity has lessons for each other. So Aries can't fully be Aries unless it's grounded in Libra. Libra can't fully be Libra unless it's grounded in Aries. So they need each other to balance. The polarities need each other. Um, and so, you know, Aries is learning itself, Libra is learning others. And so when we have these two together, we can learn ourselves through the lens of others, right? Because this is so much of what Venus is. Venus is learning our values through the relationships that we call into our life. And so gate 48 being the gate of depth, like there is a depth here. There is, there is like this well that we're just like digging down to, right? There's so much there, and it's in the spleen, and the spleen is about survival. The spleen is about uh our our health, um, immunity. It's about our fears, right? So there's always a fear element with every gate in the spleen. Uh, it's actually really not doing a whole lot. Venus during the full moon is in um Taurus, where she loves to be, her other rulership. So Venus is happy over in Taurus. And um, okay, so that's the full moon. So really just finding your inner uh balance, uh, what you're seeing, what you're calling for justice. Full moons are times when things are illuminated, when we can see more clearly. Whereas new moons, new moons we're kind of blinded. We can't quite see um because we can't see the moon. But full moons are when things are illuminated. This is why people can act a little bit crazy during full moons, because it's like the things that you maybe didn't see otherwise are showing up now. This is sort of when it comes to archetypes, right? This is sort of the um, I want to say like pregnancy phase, right? Where it's like we're full, right? We're like fully seen and fully present. Um yeah, it's just an opportunity for us to act uh on the things that we've manifested during the new moon. Then we have, okay, so there's a whole bunch. I'm actually we're gonna do this this way today. Do the full moon, planets moving, and then we're gonna do all the little, not they're not little transits, but all the other transits. So, okay, that's the full moon. The moon, the new moon is happening on the 17th of April, and it is happening at 27 degrees and 28 minutes of Aries. And this is like the first one. This is in gate three. This is the first moon, new moon that is not at this 28th degree um of its sign. So from Libra until now, we've had every single new moon in 28 degrees. This is still a late degree of Aries, but it is not that like kind of final, final degree. Uh, new moons, again, we're planting seeds. This is an Aries, so there is an action piece to it. There is motion, there is um some sort of movement within this, but new moons are a time where, again, we can't see clearly. We can't see the moon in the sky. We've planted a seed, but we can't see what's coming from the seed. So we have to like make sure we're nurturing it correctly. This is a time when we're like finalizing a cycle and starting a new cycle. So, what things are coming up, maybe you're feeling a little bit more emotional, maybe things are coming up from the whole airy season that we've been in. This is also in gate three. Gate three is chaos in the beginning, difficulty difficulty in the beginning. And with anything, when we want to change anything, there is an element of chaos. There is an element of challenge, and we have to move through it to come out the other side. We can't move around it, we can't avoid it. We have to move through it to come out the other side. This is kind of like I always relate this to that sort of uh mad scientist, right? Where it's like I'm throwing everything at the wall and I'm gonna like make it make sense, but it's complete chaos in the beginning. I can't really see clearly. There's just like a whole lot of stuff going on. So difficulty in the beginning, and then we create order out of the mess. And so that's sort of the energy here. It is going to be conjunct Chiron, which is going to be bringing up a lot of our wounds. So we may be feeling very tender during this time. Again, it always depends on where Aries is in your chart. If you have any planets there, this to me is conjunct my north node. So I'm expecting this maybe to be a little bit intense because the last like two years was like my nodal return, and that was intense in its own. Um, and so yeah, there's just like we might be feeling some tenderness, a lot of stuff coming up during this new moon. And again, follow me on Instagram, follow me on TikTok, subscribe to the newsletter because I'm gonna be getting more in depth with all these things as we get closer. This is just like a broad um overview of Aries season or sorry, of April. Um, and then okay, on April 9th, Mars moves into Aries, which Mars is the ruler of Aries. So this is fire on fire, action on action. This is that warrior archetype cloaked up in as a warrior. It finally gets to like express itself in its fullest um in Aries. Um, so again, there's gonna be just a lot of extra movement. You know, uh Mars is where we get energy in the birth chart um or in the in in the transits, whatever. So this is gonna be really, really extra energized being in its home in Aries. Mercury on the 14th of April also moves into Aries. Mercury is the mind, Mercury is communication, Mercury is what we focus on, it's what we think about. As I've talked about over the last few months, um, Mercury is also Mercury kind of meets you where you're at. So depending on the depth that you're ready to, Mercury was the messenger of the gods. So Mercury could go into the underworld and go into the shadows, it can go into the unconscious if you want it to. Now, Aries is really fast. The shadow of Aries is that it doesn't quite sit with what's coming up enough to really get to know itself in that way. So a shadow of Aries is that it can feel insecure based on the feedback it's getting from outside of it. And Aries will likely not admit to that because it just wants to move and move and move, but it doesn't like quite sit with things for long enough. So our mind might be really flighty, it might be just like from one thing to the next, there might be a lot going on, um, a lot of like fire, a lot of um heat, sort of. And esoterically, Mercury is actually the ruler of Aries. So I would say that Mercury probably likes being in Aries because of that. And the reason why esoterically, Mercury is the ruler of Aries is because Aries rules the head. Aries rules the head, the brain, the upper jaw. And so this is all like the thinking and and you know, the brain activities, right? The brain function is to control mental and physical activities. Everything that happens is like wired through the brain, right? So we that is the energy that we'll be feeling then. Um Mercury also on the 9th will leave fully leave its shadow phase. So we'll be fully, fully out of it. All planets are direct um currently. Nothing is going retrograde in Aries. So all so this is complete forward movement. This is we're we're moving forward. So that's happening on the 14th. On April 19th, the sun moves into Taurus, my favorite season. I am turning 40 this year. I am a Taurus, I'm a Taurus midheaven, a Taurus Mercury. I love Taurus season, it always just feels like home to me. Taurus is the building energy. It's I have, it's material, it's sensual, it's grounded, it wants comfort. Um, it can be it's a fixed earth sign, so it is super stubborn, right? This has the archetype of the bull. Um, so it will like dig its feet in. But the lesson of Taurus is to let go of material attachments. They say Buddha was a Taurus, uh, and that was the lesson of Buddha, the life of Buddha was to really let go of material attachments. My friend keeps saying everything is like everything is impermanent and remembering that, right? So it's like when I feel like I need this is uh part of my My shadow is that I do like to buy things. I like to purchase things. I like to have things that's very like Taurus. I like to have, and they're very Venusian things, right? It's not like I don't want to just have uh like a TV or I don't want to just have a rug. Like I like purses, I like my makeup, I like tattoos, like I like things that you can see, and that's probably the Leo rising in me as well. Um, aesthetically, like those types of things, I like to have things. And so my lesson in life is always just to like I don't have to have everything, right? Like my emotional authority has allowed me to wait and to see if like in a week or two I still want the thing. And if I'm still thinking about it, then I let myself get it. But also, I just I like things. So anyway, that's just like the lesson of Taurus, but it is this really building energy with Taurus, right? Like Aries is I am, Taurus is I have. And so there's always like this kind of story as we go through the zodiac. April 23rd, Venus moves into Gemini. I have Venus and Gemini, and so I kind of love it. But Venus and Gemini loves to be social, it loves to have conversations. Venus and Gemini is like, for me, I always say you can be the most attractive person in the room, but if we can't hold and have a conversation, I can't do it. I can't do it. And so there is this energy of like, it can be very uh, I guess flighty is maybe the word. It's always looking for novelty, it's always looking for new something new, it's always looking for conversations, it's always looking for new people, it's always like kind of like bouncing between things. Um, and so that's something to consider as well. April 25th, Uranus moves into Gemini and gets out of Taurus. If you are a Taurus, if you have anything like degrees of fixed signs, you are probably excited for this one. Uranus moves out of Taurus, it moves into Gemini, which throughout history, whenever Uranus has been in Gemini, and I will probably do an episode about it to go more in depth, or just again, follow the Substack. I'm gonna be writing posts and things like that. But throughout history, every time Uranus has been in Gemini, there have been revolutionary changes in communication, in education. Uh, now with social media and technology, we're already seeing like rapid developments of like AI and things like that. And I was reading, I actually don't remember where I was reading it in one of my astrology books. But I was reading that at one point when Uranus was in Gemini was when we began the GI Bill in the military. And this was allowing free education for those in the military, um, paid for by the military. And so that's just like an example. But this is like Uranus is the great awakener. Uranus is revolution, it's freedom, excuse me, it's rebellion. But again, it's the great awakener. We're going to be seeing truths specifically via social media or on social media that may not be comfortable and that we may not have seen before. So expect massive changes within the arena of social media. And it's really interesting. A lot of people that I follow are really looking for more analog lifestyles. They're actually looking to be removed from social media. They want to go off social media. I don't know, that's not like what I feel this could be changing, but it could be, right? People could just be moving away from it. But I do feel like Uranus in Gemini, I mean, it's gonna be quick, it's gonna be fast, it's gonna be maybe a little bit even ungrounded because Uranus is the nervous, is the electrical impulses in the body. Gemini is the nervous system. Uh, it's ruled by Mercury, which is the nervous system. So this could be really could make us anxious because things could be going really fast. It's like lightning speed, like things are happening, shocking truths are coming out, and we're just like kind of like overwhelmed, is like, ah, like so much coming at us at one time, which could feel really overwhelming, which could turn, which could turn people away from it and want to go. I mean, we're already sort of seeing that kind of stuff coming out. And so, really using discernment. I mean, we've been talking about it for a while, like using discernment with social media, what you see like AI on there, like it's just crazy. Like sometimes I look and I'm like, I don't even know what's real and what's not. So Uranus is gonna be awakening us to that. Uranus also moves into gate 20 um on the 28th of April. Gate 20 is bringing us more into the moment, into the present. And so we're moving from gate eight energy um into gate 20 energy. So now we're asking for presence. So, which is kind of counterintuitive to what I just said, like fast and lightning and awakening and truth and blah. But it is like this discernment of like coming into the moment and like what do you actually feel in your body, right? And like doing the work to regulate yourself, doing the work to stay present with yourself, doing the work to discern, like how does this actually feel in my body? Like, does this feel good? Does this feel not good? Does this feel like it's my truth? Does this not feel like it's my truth? So really coming inside and kind of doing that work. Um, but again, follow me on StubSack. The link is down below. I'm gonna be writing and talking a lot more about it over in there and on social media as well. Now we're getting into the other transits. So almost every transit this month is an outer planet transit. So we have this mini triangle configuration that's happening between Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. They are in this little mini triangle. Uranus is tri and Pluto, Pluto and Uranus are sextile to Neptune and currently Saturn, but Neptune specifically. When we think about these energy energies, just in their keywords, Uranus is the great awakener, Neptune is the dissolver, and Pluto is transformation, right? Pluto is depth, transformation, rebirth, power, control dynamics, the healer archetype as well. So we're awakening to something, we're dissolving boundaries, we're remembering divine love, right? And we're transforming ourselves. This is really supportive, right? These are all supportive aspects. So we'll start. Um, yeah, it's it's gonna be a lot. So again, follow me on Substack because I do weekly transit up weekly transit updates over there on the newsletter. I do weekly transit updates. So you can kind of like get more in depth, I guess, on all of these, but I'm gonna probably go through these relatively quickly just because there are a lot. But the energy of this month, again, it's fast, it's fiery, there's a lot going on. We're awakening, we're seeing truths. There's just so much going on. Okay, so we're gonna get into it. April 3rd, Mercury is trying to Jupiter. Mercury and Pisces is trying to Jupiter and Cancer. Again, Mercury is the mind, it's communication, it's what we're focusing on. Jupiter is expansion, it's luck, it's the guru planet. It's actually also rules health and healer, like healer energy. Um, because traditionally, or like back in the day, doctors, um, herbalists, uh, plant medicine, all of those things were were looked at almost as like not deities, but they were really high up. They were like uh they were viewed as much as priests were. Nowadays, doctors are kind of like uh it's more like kind of Virgo sixth house type of energy, but um Jupiter was once seen as that sort of energy, like the god of like healing, the god of health kind of thing. Um, and so anyway, so those two trying are really supportive. Our mind might be focusing on the healing aspect, on feeling safe in our bodies and our nervous system. This can be really supportive to sort of ground into your nervous system um and to like anchor your thoughts in and sort of like be in that energy. April 3rd as well. Venus is going to be square to Pluto. Um, this is always that sort of like obsessive love. This is Venus is going to be in Taurus, um, and Pluto is in Aquarius. So these are both, you know, fixed signs coming together. Um, and so with Pluto transformation, healing type of energy, Venus values, beauty, um, love, right relationships. So, this again, we could become like we can feel a lot of jealousy because Taurus is all about jealousy. I mean, it's not all about jealousy. Part of the shadow of Taurus is jealousy. So you could be feeling jealous, you could be feeling obsessive, um, you could be feeling like super boundaried. Uh, there's just like a lot of different ways that can show up. But again, it's sort of this energy of obsessive love. And I just saw that it's happening at five degrees and 15 minutes of Taurus and Aquarius. And my birthday is 515. So look at that. Um, on April 5th, the sun in Aries is square to Jupiter in Cancer. These are both cardinal signs initiating themselves. The sun is shining a light on this energy. Squares are more challenging, and they're asking us to do some sort of internal work. So, again, like making sure you feel safe in your nervous system, make sure you feel safe in your body as you're taking these actions and moving forward. On April 8th, Mars in Pisces is sectile to Uranus and Taurus. So, Uranus has not yet moved into Taurus on April 8th. Mars and Uranus, there's kind of explosion here. There's, you know, Mars is a little bit muted in Pisces because it is a water sign, but Mars in itself is very action. It wants to move forward. Uranus is the electrical impulse. This makes this riff makes me feel like sort of a tower moment and it's supportive. But tower moments, it's not actually the lightning bolt that is the tower moment. The tower moment is like everything leading up to it. And then there's this crumbling where it's like we have to like rebuild the foundation on top of like what wasn't where we have to like excavate. The tower moment blows the tower down so that we can rebuild in a way that works. So that's kind of like what that feels like to me. Mars is also conjunct Neptune on the 13th. Um, and you know, again, they're both in Aries. Neptune is dreamy, Neptune is divine love, Neptune is the dissolution of boundaries. There's a little confusion, so we might feel a little confused. Again, Mars being in Aries, Mars loves to be in Aries, Mars rules Aries, but this could make it a little muddled or a little bit um not clear about the actions it want to take. It can make I feel like this could be more uh passive aggressive almost because we're kind of like with the blinders on, trying to take action, like feeling around. Uh, that could be something that comes up. And then we have um again on the 13th, Venus is sextile to Jupiter, which is really supportive. Uh Venus and Jupiter like love to be talking to each other. Uh Venus and Neptune and Venus and Jupiter are really supportive aspects. Um, this is expansion on you know our values and our morals, and again, making sure we feel safe in our body, in our emotional experience. Uh, the 14th, Mercury is sextile to Uranus. So again, this is the mind, this is the mind, and this is the electrical impulses in the body. So making sure that we're focusing on things that, you know, this could be sudden insights with Mercury uh in, you know, talking to Uranus. So just like paying attention to what comes up during that. 16th, um, April 16th, Mars and Aries, a sex hell to Pluto and Aquarius. This is moving forward, um, just making sure that we are again regulated. A lot of this month, I'm gonna be saying that regulate yourself, come into your body, ground yourself, get outside, get into nature, do something that keeps you in set centered in your own body because there's a lot that can be taken out of our body, especially when we're succumbing to or leaning into the action of Mars and Aries and not like thinking about it. But there's always that potential, especially with um Pluto, there's always the potential for healing. On the 19th, Mars is conjunct Saturn in Aries. And this one, Mars and Saturn are known as the malefics in the zodiac. And so Mars is like a minor, I think they call it minor malefic. Um, but they it's like there is friction with these two planets coming together. Mars is the warrior energy, and Saturn is the disciplinarian. Saturn is karma, Saturn is father time, Saturn is just like slow down, right? And Mars is like, no, I'm this like sort of like toddler energy, this adolescent energy, and I must move forward and I must do things. And Saturn is over there slapping its wrist. Like, no, so there's always some tension when Mars and Saturn come together. So this around this time, the 19th, could be feel really intense, it could be feel really sticky, it could feel really spicy. Like Mars is gonna want to move forward, Saturn's gonna want to discipline it. That's the type of energy that's coming up on the 20th. Mercury is going to be conjunct to Saturn. So we're still in this energy of like the Mars conjunction with Saturn. Mercury is what we're thinking on, what we're focusing on, what we're communicating on. Um, and it is the nervous system as well. So this could heighten that nervous system feeling. So again, regulate, sleep, drink water, nurture yourself, move your body, do all the things. Um, that was on the 20th. And then Mercury is also going to be conjunct Mars. So again, Mars is what drives us, it's our energy. Mercury is what we're focusing on, what we're thinking about in Aries. So this is, you know, maybe new ideas, uh projects that we want to start, places that we want to go. And again, remember, nothing is in retrograde right now. So this is a really great time to get movement, to move. But again, this you could feel intense because there's just like a lot depending on your chart. There always depends on your chart. Um, what feels comfortable for you? Okay, and then that was the 20th, the 23rd of April. Venus is going to be conjunct Uranus in Taurus at 29 degrees of Taurus. Venus is the ruler of Taurus, Uranus doesn't like to be in Taurus, Taurus doesn't like to Uranus to be in it either. So this is some extra friction. This feels like sort of the icing on the cake before Uranus moves into Gemini, um, with this Venus being conjunct. Um, but again, you know, this is boundaries, this is freedom, this is like this push and pull between like connection and freedom and wanting to be comfortable, but wanting to try things differently. And there's just sort of this friction here in this energy. And it's at this eneretic degree. So, what are we like closing up with Uranus and Taurus? What did we learn with Uranus and Taurus? And what is Venus reinforcing when it comes to like our values, our boundaries, our morals, um, how we love, how we show up in relationships, right? Like that sort of the energy that's coming up there. On, let me see what else is happening. Um I think that's honestly the biggest ones that are happening. So, again, as you can see, there's so much happening this month. So much happening this month. Everything that's moving into Aries is gonna hit this Neptune-Saturn conjunction. So that's Mercury, that's Mars, are gonna hit this Saturn Neptune conjunction. They're going to be sextile to Pluto, and they're gonna be sextile to Uranus. So they're all touching this little mini triangle, it's really activating it. This could feel really intense, right? And again, with Uranus moving into well, okay, so the new moon is in gate three, Uranus moving into gate 20. But also remembering like change isn't always comfortable. Uranus is the great awakener, it's awakening us the truth, it's showing us truths, and in order to change our current reality requires some discomfort because, like I talked about in the beginning, we have to take aligned action if we want things to change, and that is the hardest part of change, is actually doing the thing. And so, again, really remember to regulate your body, to get outside, to nurture yourself correctly. If you want to get a great probiotic for gut health, uh, you can click the link below and grab seed probiotics because seed is incredible. I've been taking the probiotics for years. It's a double capsule. That way it gets through your stomach without being eaten up, and then it actually gets into your intestines where you want it to be, and then that second capsule break capsule breaks open and you get all the good nutrients. Um, but if you are looking for a really good probiotic, the link for that is down below. Um, but just like nurturing yourself, taking care of yourself, paying attention to yourself, and remembering that Aries doesn't always pause to tune in with itself because it's so concerned about movement. And movement is a part of Aries. Aries wouldn't be Aries if it wasn't moving. But taking a pause and breathing and taking care of your body. So, with all that, every again, April is huge. April is really intense, and we're likely all gonna be feeling it.
