Hi, welcome to a new week of astrology. We have a great one ahead. Uh, I'm never not enamored with the patterns that are taking place with the planet in our solar system. That's a mouthful. Uh, and we have some great examples of. That taking place this week, specifically this Sunday in Australia, it's just after 11:00 AM we will have, so Saturday night for Europe and Americas, we have this great, beautiful. Full Moon in Libra. So the sun will be at 23 degrees of Aries. The moon will be at 23 degrees of Libra and Venus, which has been Retrograding for some time, will go direct at the exact same time. As that full moon isn't that wild? Venus is the ruler of Libra, so it's during this conscious spotlight being present on the moon in Libra that Venus will move direct. Exact same time, wild astrology, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start with where we are right now. Today as I'm recording this, on Monday morning the 7th of April, mercury is still retrograde at 26 degrees of Pisces and it's right next to Venus, which is Retrograding at 25 degrees of Pisces. Right now, Venus is. Perfectly lined up with satin, which is also at 25 degrees of Pisces, and on the other side of that is the north node, which is at 27 degrees of Pisces. So we've still got this huge conjunction going on between these very interesting planets, this combination of planets and energy points tonight, uh, just after 10:00 PM my time. Mercury will go direct. So the Mercury retrograde ends this evening. And what's just quite interesting about this week where today the Mercury retrograde ends this Sunday, the Venus retrograde ends. So we're in the last week of this venous retrograde, and all of this week. Both of these planets, mercury, Venus, are fusing in with the north node in Pisces and Satin here in Pisces. So again, just such an interesting combination of energies. The North node is the higher expressions of Pisces. So to me, uh, an easy way that I would, uh, articulate that for you is. New energies, new timelines, new dreams and visions or more clarity and precision. And, uh, the full picture landing in your imagination, in your dream states, in your daydream states, able to see more of Yeah. And, and feel into more of. What it is that you are desirous of. At the same time Saturn is there and satin is action. It's practical application. So again, we've had satin cruising through Pisces since. Early 2023 and it's marrying practical application 3D, reality, devotion, time space, gravity with this archetype, Pisces. That is everything beyond time and space. That is the ephemeral, that is the intangible, that is the visioning, the clairvoyance, the Clair sentience, the healer. The empath, compassion, all of these kind of beautiful, more liminal energies married with. Cool. Let's take the action. Let's move these things into reality. And now as Mercury goes direct this evening, we'll be in this first week of it being direct still in Pisces for this coming week. And because it's conjunct Saturn. We may have been able to have a sense of, okay, well what, what action should I take? Now we're in this time of, okay, cool. Am I committed to this vision? Am I committed to bringing to life these particular things or more of this aspect of myself in this next chapter? Then what is the action that I need to take? This will certainly. Go up a whole notch. Once Mercury moves back into Aries, which is where we initiate action, we make the moves to put ourselves onto, let's say, the timeline of our greatest desires, the actualization of our greatest desires, the realization of these things through action. But now as it is. Moving forward or about to start moving forward for all of this week, and its conjunct Saturn. The plan, the scaffolding, the architectural blueprints are more clear. What I need to do to bring this into reality is more obvious, much more obvious. Uh, it's been interesting. Doing this podcast and doing it in a weekly fashion because if you've followed my Instagram or been on my email list for some time, I usually chirp up around bigger transits. And it's kind of been awesome to show up weekly because I'm more conscious of these finer, um. I would almost say more common, uh, transits that are taking place. And one of the things that I noticed when Mercury slipped back from Aries and Retrograded back into Pisces within myself was that the, the themes that I was working on, I am working on personally, which in an airy sense, related to what I want, uh, the. Getting what I want, taking action towards the things that I want without going into too many details. Whereas it was playing out sort of more in my body and in my life. It was more tangible. As soon as it, like literally the night that it went back into Pisces, that theme took place in this great extended. You know, movie length Dream starring Walton Goggins, which was sick'cause I'm in love with him. Uh, but the, the whole thing that I've been working on just played out in Dream, which is Mercury and Pisces. It's where the imagination, the dreams, uh, take over the visioning capacity. Your imaginarium takes over and the communication takes place there also, certainly in the, the realm of feelings. Uh, as well. So now we're in this last week of the Venus. Retrograde and this has been incredible. This has been so potent. If you recall that one that we had a year and a half ago in Leo, I totally discounted it when I was researching it. Um, when I,'cause I always researched the year ahead around August, September of each year before the following year. And. Yeah, I don't know why. I just dis, I just discounted it and then it was, it was so potent. It was so strong for myself, for everyone that was close in my world. Um, and yeah, which is so interesting. So I, I came into this one being really curious and certainly studying it, but now being in the experience of it, I, it's. I, and I can only speak from my own experience. It's been brilliant. Again, it's been very interesting to notice the subtle shifts and I guess not so subtle shifts from when it was in Aries and then now moving back into Pisces, which it currently is. It's at 25 degrees. Exactly. Conjunct, satin again. Uh, and for me, when it was in. When it was in Aries. A better way of saying that is one of the things that I've gathered or gained from this experience of it moving through Aries Retrograding back there has been more of a visceral sense of my standards that I hold myself to, not just as a concept, but practically. And then as naturally the standards that I desire to have people meet me at. So it's a lot more obvious to me where there are, if there are boundary crossings, because like I was saying in last week's episode, it's like there's an aspect of me, this Venus in Aries aspect of me, you know, swords. In hand, uh, that's walking around the territory, the borderlands of me. I, I'm, I'm more viscerally aware of myself and the standards that I'm holding myself to. And because I've been doing beautiful work there and holding myself and, and tending to myself in a, in a great way, I feel pretty rad. I pre, I, I'm feeling the. The effects of that medicine. Um, and now as it's in this more tranquil, ephemeral, unconditional, and often boundaryless arena of Pisces, it's great that I've had the ability to go, no, these are what my boundaries are because we need them in boundary estates. Otherwise, it's way too easy to mutate and adapt outside of the self. So while we're in this final week of the Venus retrograde in this tranquil, mystical, I would say priestess space of PIs, what are the dreams and the visions and. The higher state feelings that you're able to hold and transmute and or, or transmit, sorry to you to more of you. You know, I really think one of the beauties of astrology is it's not a belief system. It's a modality that allows you to vary practically. Take up more of your own space to fill in and attune your antenna to the exact degrees of how you emit and receive life, the experience, the frequencies of life. And there are all of these beautiful archetypal symbolic. Happenings every single year. We just happen to be in a several year period where there's a lot of action going on. There's, there's so many of these. Uh, I almost wanna say, and this might not make like literal sense, but there's more of these mythological awakenings happening within our psyches. Within. And, and I would also say within the collective unconscious, it's been so interesting to see how much story and myth, uh, coming to life. And I have a very special guest coming on. Uh, it'll be later this month or early May, who will be where we'll be diving into that. I can't wait to share her and her work with you and. But what are the, the, the tranquil? Yeah. I don't know. It's like where is more of this spaciousness, this tranquil spaciousness for you to tap into the lushness of being alive, of being human, of having all of these senses, of having these. Dreamy abilities, this capacity to birth, new visions for yourself, for your people, you know, your family, for all of us. And so all of this week, she is like Mercury lined up. With Sutton and lined up with the north node and Mercury. So we're able to receive the intel more of this mercurial, communicative intel around anything that we're needing to see. Where am I leaking energy? Are there particular relationships that are draining me? Or what are the ones that are really filling me up? What are the activities that are filling me up? Am I living in a way that's lined up with my values? What are my values? What are my standards? How am I practically showing up for those things again, because Satin is here, it's not about, yeah, I get the concept of self-worth and self value. Of course, I'm worthy, kind of irrelevant when Saturn's there. It's not about your intellectual know-how. Right now it's looking at, cool, well, what are you in? Devotion to what are you committed to? And I think both of these things, commitment and devotion, are related to the action that we're taking towards these things. How am I showing up in a way that aligns with the standards that I want other people to meet me at, as an example. Interestingly, on Sunday when we have this gorgeous full moon in Libra, the sun, as I said at the beginning, will be at 23 degrees. The moon at 23 degrees of Aries. The moon will be at 23 degrees of Libra and Chiron. The wounded healer will be at 23 degrees of Aries as well. It will be exactly conjunct. The sun, and again, this is when Venus moves direct at this precise moment. It's wild like that in itself. There's so many layers of symbolism and possibility and storylines that are just coming from that. It's again, it's just the thrill of being an astrologer. It's so. It's so joyous. It's so nerdy and great. Uh, and this is very interesting because in a sense, it, it may be illuminating wounds or it may be illuminating potholes in the foundations that we have, or beliefs that we may have, certainly around self, but specifically around taking action towards what you want. Um, around putting yourself on the slipstream of the life that you want or putting yourself on the slipstream stream of, or the, the, the energy of more of who you are bringing to life, more of who you are, because Kyron has been sailing through so slowly. So methodically Aries, for many years now, the collective healing is taking place around, I would say, our instincts, trusting our instincts, having clarity around our own wants, needs and desires, particularly as we've been in this time of really. Feeling a lot more hooked up to the collective wins, the collective super highway of ideas, thought streams, ideologies, group, mind, group think. And it's, uh, this is aligning us more with self and now as the sun on Sunday and for the preceding full moon period, which will be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Monday to Tuesday, a little bit of Wednesday. I just had to do the math in my head. Uh, we're able to not only, not only are we illuminating anywhere where we're putting, putting our projection of what we think others want us to be or what others want from us ahead of what we want or where. Our own clarity around our wants, needs and desires is blurred by being able to be too focused on the wants, needs and desires of other people at the expense of clarity around what we want and need and desire, and at the expense of taking action towards those things. Chiron is here. Chiron is also. Fused in with the consciousness of the sun and projecting itself onto the moon. So we're able to see any wounding and also an illumination of what is the action that I should be taking here or could be taking here that feels more like me. There's more of this visceral sense of hell. This is where I'm. Thwarting myself, or this is where I wanna put more of my energy, more of my juice, more of my life force, more of my attention, more of my willpower. You know, something that I've been saying a lot is I feel like this is a year of experimentation and precision moves, and it's all of it's these last six weeks, couple of months. Even before that, actually with the Mars retrograde that's been building up to this point. Where we're able to see, okay, what are the moves this week? It's okay with satin. It's the, the scaffolding, the practical application. What am I committed to? How is that showing up in my life? What am I in devotion to through action? How am I showing myself that I am committed to this way of being, these beliefs, this type of lifestyle, whatever it is, bringing this particular vision to. Life to 3D Life. And then we're able to see on Sunday and, and certainly the after effects in the three and a half day full moon period that it enacts clearly what needs to be seen. So one of the ways that I'd be playing this full moon, show me what I need to see. It will be pretty obvious'cause it's an airy sun, uh, and it's a liver moon. So it's like anywhere where I am not meeting my needs and I'm meeting somebody else's and I'm filled with resentment, you'll, you'll really feel that, you know, the sun is in Aries, the sun is direct and fierce and can be brash and can be. So reactive. So if there are these volcanoes of feelings, just be conscious of, uh, how you're processing those things because with an, with an airy sun, we want to be moving it. Through the body. And because the moon is in an air sign, it will be conversations, it will be thought patterns. It will be, uh, ideas, pattern recognition, things taking place in the, in the mental realm, in the mental plane. That it, that will be where it's more obvious. The illumination will be obvious. And then the sun is like the release valve. And Chiron remember, is the wounded healer. I have a very good. Workshop on Chiron. I think he is probably my favorite part of the chart. Um, I'm just obsessed with him. He's a cental. I'm not gonna go into his story here'cause I don't know. Is this, yeah, I'm just not. Uh, but he's the wounded healer. He is an experiential part of the sky. Wherever he falls and our chart. So it's not like, oh, I have a wound in Aries, uh, which means I can't take action. No. What Chiron is showing you is there may have been this early pain point there, which makes it feel tender, and by putting conscious attention here, you can do brilliant things. It requires our consciousness, and lo and behold, this Sunday, the sun, this symbol of consciousness, of life, of life force vitality. Uh, but yeah, more than that, consciousness is aligned perfectly with Chiron here in Aries. Where am I not taking the actions to fulfill my desires? Where do I not yet have the clarity? Where should I be? Where, where do I want to call in more clarity around my wants, needs and desires? Where do I want to call in more safety to know what those things are and then to take action towards them? You know, if you're a very liberal person or if you grew up, uh, needing to bring harmony or learning to read the room first, then you need to build the safety to within your system to go, I can know what I want and then I can go after what I want. It's not just going, oh yeah, you can go after what you want. So do that. You may need to bring in examples of people who do this. Um, which was certainly the case for me. I have a liberal ascendant. I have two brothers who are and are Aries. I know a lot of people who are Aries and I used to bring in a lot of them. Um, and I would just observe that they'd go, I want this, and then they move the themselves towards it. Just in this straight line, this precision move, this directness. And to me it was so illuminating, you know? It was like, wow. Okay, so. They're not self combusting. When they go after what they want, the world hasn't stopped. Like, it's okay, it's safe. I needed to see that first and before I could imbibe that and go, maybe I can do that too. Whereas as a liberal ascendant, I was a lot more subversive in the way I would go about things. Uh, didn't really have full clarity around what I wanted, and then I'd check it through or I'd have a sense of like, Ooh, how would this. Um, affect X, Y, Z if I do this. Uh, so I had to build that. It's safe for me to just go, I kind of wanna do this, so I'm gonna go try it. Um, but yeah, utilize this time. This is a great week. It feels like a great week. It's a week of building. It feels like a week of planning, and it's certainly a week of illuminating more of what we need to see. There's opportunities here to. Drop in more and more of this unexpectedness, more of what the vision is, new streams of what the visions can be. Again, because our at the mind and Venus and satin are conjunct. The north node, whole new streams of consciousness are, are here and it's like the antenna is tapped into that. So enjoy. I think it's gonna be Gorge. I would, you know, Venus Day is a Friday, but Sunday is very veian. This week I think is just very venusian. So how, again, how can you bring in, I don't know, to me, Venus, in Pisces, she's so tranquil. She is mystical. She's like. She's a fairy, she's a legend. Uh, and I'm certainly gonna be playing with those themes a lot this week. But Sunday, how can you ground in, think of Saturn like a, an anchor point almost because it is this grounding principle, it grounds into time, space, gravity, reality. How can I ground in through action? Practices, rituals, routines that plant me into possibility. These fields of possibilities, these fields of unbridled beauty. Yeah, that's it. Sending you lots of love. I hope it's a great week and can't wait to hear all about it. Bye.
