#308-"Give Us New Breath For New Words"--Week of April 14, 2025

Remember that Neptune (Visionary) just left Pisces and entered Aries marking a new 14-year cycle of growth. Astrobutterfly says about this: "on a personal level, our focus will shift from seeking connection with something greater (Pisces) to a focus on selfhood – reshaping our identity, discovering our purpose, and stepping into a more active role in our lives."

Mercury (Storyteller) re-enters Aries (after its recent retrograde period in Pisces) and conjoins Neptune. Be open to any new inspirations, ideas and opportunities with communication that may be way-showers for new directions. 

Mars (Advocate-Champion) re-enters Leo after its recent retrograde period in Cancer having challenged us to address and heal our aggressive emotional defense patterns. Now its time to honor our emotions in courageous ways and move forward with our creativity and self-respect.

Mars in Leo trines Neptune in Aries supporting you to express your unique creativity. Chani says: "let your musings take the lead. Flowing rather than forcing merges ease with success."

The Sun (Conscious Self) enters Taurus inviting you to slow down and smell the flowers and honor your sensuality, security and connection to Earth.

The Sun in Taurus squares Mars in Leo challenging you to ground excessive unconscious selfishness. Chani advises: "temper tantrums signal unmet needs. Ifyou find yourself fuming, investigate the ways that you’re at odds with yourself."
