CLARITY & ACTION, FROM WATER INTO FIRE

This week is a real change in temperature. We move from months of having the personal planets all retrograding at points, to all three now being direct. With two of them, Mars and Mercury moving into fire signs this week. Clarity and a movement from the ephemeral into the body-visceral is likely. May dates are now available for astrology readings.

Hi, good morning. Welcome to a new week. How was the full moon for you yesterday? We're in this full moon period for the first couple of days of this week, the Monday and the Tuesday, as we've had this full moon on Sunday here in Libra, and I know certainly for myself and a lot of. Astrology school students, clients, friends, family that I've been in communication with. Things like relational dynamics, our part in relational dynamics, uh, things that need to be released, patterns, our play of things have really come to the foreground. It's just, it's been for me personally. A very potent couple of weeks. Well, I probably month really, and one of the main things that I have realized is more of what I am actually desiring and that I can step into the leadership of. Not only claiming those desires, but then having to take responsibility for them for the fact that I have them, and then I need to take action towards those things. It would be wild if I had these big realizations about my life and the direction of it. I'm not gonna go into details. Uh, it would be wild if I had all of these realizations and then I just let them. Simmer in the background, and I never put any energy towards bringing them to life. I mean, I would just despise myself very quickly, or I would certainly, it would certainly erode my own self trust in a major way. Uh, and the reason that I'm saying this is because since November and December. When Mars began to retrograde through Leo and then back into cancer, and now it's moving forward in cancer, it's this week it's going to pop back in to Leo, which I'm very excited about. But, so we've had a Mars retrograde and, and these Mars movements for months and months now. Now that it's direct, but it's been hanging out in cancer and Leo exclusively since September last year. That's very unusual for this planet. It usually spends two months in a sign and then it moves on, but it's been churning away in these archetypes of cancer. Then Leo, then back into cancer. It's the ruler. Of Aries, it's our will, our determination, the action that we're taking, how we're initiating towards meeting our wants and needs and desires. The clarity that we have around what those things are. And then for the last while, we had Venus Retrograding through Aries, and we had Mercury Retrograding through Aries. Now both of those energies are back in Pisces, a water sign. But again, there's been this influence, this spotlight on Aries and Mars with the three personal planets all taking place or or all hanging out and retrograding through this archetype of Aries or Mars wants, needs, desires, clarity around that. A decisiveness, a boldness in understanding what those things are, and then making the precise moves towards them. While a lot of that has been in a retrograding fashion, now this week, that's starting to change. So for the last while these energies, Mars has been in cancer. Mercury has been in Pisces. Venus is still in Pisces, so they've all been in water signs, and that is like these inner knowings. Water is the emotional self, the energetic self. It's much more internal. And this week that begins to change. This week on Wednesday, the 16th of April afternoon time here at about 4:00 PM Mercury will move back into Aries in its forward motion, and on Friday afternoon the 18th of April, Mars will move from cancer into Leo. So both of these energies, the mind, the communicative self and Mars, this will our willpower, our drive. They're both moving back into fire signs and this is cool. This feels like an incredible time of action and absolute clarity. While these things have been churning away in water signs, it can feel more like the calling of our or the whispers of our soul, the whispers of our intuition. And now as they move into fire signs this week, it becomes more like, yes, I know this. I do know the answer. I can feel it in my bones. It's less ephemeral. Less kind of intangible and becomes more body feeling, more visceral. I just closed the door. The birds are just extra loud lately. Uh, so it just feels like, you know what, what it feels like. Like we've had these incredible eclipses and then we've just had this full moon. So much has been brought to. The foreground of our consciousness or brought into the foreground of our, let's say, energetic field. Things are more obvious, dynamics, situations, what we want, what we need, what we desire, what we don't want, and don't need and don't desire anymore. So much has been, yeah, churning and, uh, in flux and. It feels like there has been this stirring of the pot or pots for many of us, and again, it's been liminal and felt visioned, dreamed, and now the fuel is there and the directional energy is there. The clarity is there and it's calling for, and it will likely feel very natural. I. To have more bold action to claim what you want to make those physical moves, those actions, bold actions, which is Aries and Mars energy towards what you want. You know, so much of this south node energy in Virgo that really. Came to the foreground with that full moon. That and, and lunar eclipse that we had in Virgo a month ago brought forward anywhere where there's these feelings of, of, of being stuck. And I know for myself, it brought to me clarity around where I was feeling stuck. And I, and I wasn't even conscious of that. I had accepted a particular thing, uh, that I felt. That I realized, no, I'm actually not satisfied with this whatsoever. I'm desiring something else, and it's there for me to claim. It's, it's real, it's tangible, it's possible. And again, coming back to how I opened this, what I've, I guess, been sitting with and talking to, uh, my students with this weekend is the great uncomfortability. And that sometimes comes with having to honor our desires, particularly when it relates to or will affect other people. That's so uncomfortable. I mean, it's so uncomfortable for me as a liberal ascendant, let me tell you. Uh, and yet, as I said, like I would. I don't know why I would feel, which is kind of what the underlying, uh, energy has been. Why would I feel like I need to sacrifice the wants, needs and desires of my life the way I want to live my life, how I want to, where I want to live it, uh, for the ease and comfortability of others. At the behest of my own self. You know, that's, and that's very much a liberal and full moon thing as well. You know, it's like where am I abandoning this self to bring harmony to a situation for others? Uh, so it is just, it's such a beautifully potent time, and now it's like we are getting to the top of that rollercoaster. You know, it's like we're able to see things with more clarity, and now that things are moving back into fire, obviously the sun's been in Aries for almost a month. Uh, it's in its final week here in Aries. It will slip over into Taurus. This. Coming Sunday, which I'm so excited about. It's Taurus season is my, my favorite. All of the earth signs are my favorite, but especially Taurus. It's so lush and I'll, I'll speak into that in next week's episode a lot because I think there's such beautiful ways that we can honor the energy of Taurus. And it's the natural progression, right? You think about it. I am sure all of you listening have such a stronger sense instinctually intuitively of more of what you are wanting to bring into your life and, and have and a, a desirous of. And now as we begin to move into TAUs next week, we take those desires and wants and needs, and we bring them into the. The fertile ground of Taurus and we really begin to see, do I feel worthy of these things? Um, so we'll, we'll get into the juice of that next week, but this week just really notice what has come up. Again, I highly recommend that you note down what has come up for you over the last month because it's been giant. Uh, even if it's felt very subtle in one of my posts last week or the week before, I recommended this practice of just writing down what's come up for you over the last month. Because when I started to do that, things that happened three weeks ago, they honestly felt like there were months ago because so much has, uh, arisen during this time that it's easy to. Uh, almost forget about it because it, there's been so much, and now in the later stages of this week, Wednesday when Mars moves into, sorry, mer, when Mercury moves into Aries and Friday, when Mars moves into Leo, it's about the self. It's about making these moves, the authenticity of what my desires are. And then the fire, the boldness, the action to the initiatory force, the willpower to move towards these things, to set them in motion somehow, whatever that looks like for you. So that's what I really want to focus on this week. That's the message that I'm really wanting to put forward to you this week. We're beginning to move out of these months, this year so far, where a lot of it has been internal checking in what, what, what am I truly desiring? We've been sitting on that and again, churning on that for, for months of this year. And now this is the week where those things begin to move. There's, there's more forward momentum, there's a lot more clarity. And again, it's like we know what the answers are. And as I was saying, it's like for me, I almost. Don't want to accept them because it means that I have to make bold moves and likely have to ruffle some feathers, and I am going to do those things. I don't have the full picture yet, but I have so much more clarity around my di my own personal directions, and it feels uncomfortable. And also really good to, I feel like I've just created a lot more space in the last month. It has been an incredibly strong time for so many of us. So again, this week, and you may already be feeling this, but we've been in these states of more of a liminal, imaginal, visionary, energetic, emotional, internal process. And from the latter part of this week onwards, we're moving much more into instinctual, visceral, knowing. It's in my body now. It's not just an ephemeral experience. I'm feeling it and I'm wanting to move with it with my body. So I hope it is a week of a lot more clarity for you. And yeah, making some moves. We're in this final week of Aries, so this is a, a brilliant time to be making those moves. And now that Venus is direct all week, she still will be betwixt the north node and satin here in Pisces, but she's moving forward now. So even there in terms of. Love relationships, what you are desirous of. Uh, there's more clarity there too. Even though she's still more in this like dream state, feeling state. She will soon be back in Aries also. And I just went full girlhood last night. I have my diary here. Don't worry, I'm not gonna read it. Um, but last night I did a full moon in Libra. Release and call in ritual and it was releasing particular dynamics and memories and things that just have reached their due by date. And I was releasing those and then I was calling in more of what I want and it felt really good to release those things. I felt lighter after doing it. So if that's something that you are also navigating for yourself, it might be. Relational. It may be in anything. It may be in work or just different dynamics that you have going on. I internally or externally, writing a release letter and then writing in a call in of what you desire more of could be a great way to do that. Speaking it aloud is another way to do that, but I hope it's a beautiful. A bountiful week for you. And I just hope that the terrain appears to be a lot more clear. And that's the thing with this Aries energy. She is the warrior, and she comes to life when she sees the things that she wants. That's what brings that warrior energy to life. It's not going into battle. It's not fighting fire with fire. I. Because the, the higher expression of her is a, is a strategist and she knows how to use her fire in that slow burn way over time. And it just feels like there's that boldness that comes with making these moves, uh, towards the things that you want more of. Again, we'll explore from next week onwards. How we can utilize tourist season to really ground into fertile inner world spaces with our own self worth and our own self value to make these things even more long lasting. I hope you have a beautiful week.
