Hello everybody, Chase Batiche here with the Oracle Podcast. I’m giving the astrological update for the week of April 7th through the 14th.

Also, side note—I’ve got a new puppy. He kind of found me, and I’m convinced he’s my favorite soul dog reincarnated. If you hear any background moaning, that’s Bear. Now, let’s talk about the stars.

We’re diving into some of the most influential aspects coming up this week—specifically the Sun conjunct Chiron in Aries, and a stellium in Pisces with a Venus-Saturn conjunction.

Let’s start with the Sun. Everything in our solar system revolves around it. It represents consciousness, illumination, life force, and awakening. Lately, I’ve been noticing a deeper relationship forming with the Sun. It’s not just a big ball of fire—it’s a living energy that gives life to Earth, to us. I also have opinions about the sunscreen industry, but that’s another story.

Now, let’s talk about Chiron. Known as the "wounded healer," Chiron is an asteroid and powerful archetype in astrology. It represents our deepest wounds and our capacity to heal. Last year, I experienced a real Chiron moment—my back went out after doing a ton of healing work for others, and I couldn’t move without pain. It was the universe screaming: You have to take care of yourself, too. It showed me that being a healer, being an empath, comes with responsibility—and boundaries.

Empaths often feel like victims of energy rather than realizing they are energy workers. They transmute, they sense, they guide. But we’re rarely taught that. We’re told we’re just sensitive. And so many empaths end up absorbing everyone else's energy without knowing it, leaving themselves drained.

This week’s Sun-Chiron conjunction is exact on April 12. It’s asking us to look at where we’ve hidden our vital life force. Aries energy is bold, primal, and instinctive. But in a world obsessed with control and appearances, raw authenticity can feel threatening. Especially when everything around us is filtered, Botoxed, and staged.

So ask yourself: Where have I been ashamed of my true energy? Where have I watered myself down? We are in the era of awakening. And the world is craving truth, not polish. People are tired of the fake. We’re being asked to remember our wildness, our chi, our animal selves.

This energy is about reclaiming that fire, that life, that I am essence. If you feel called to go inward, reflect on what’s keeping you small or silent.

Now, let’s look at the stellium in Pisces: Venus, Saturn, Mercury, and the North Node are all traveling closely together right now. As of recording, Saturn and Venus are at the exact same degree.

Saturn brings structure. Venus brings beauty, self-worth, love. When they meet in Pisces, it creates an interesting energetic paradox. Pisces wants to merge and feel; Saturn wants to define and ground. This conjunction is a lesson in boundaries—particularly emotional and energetic boundaries.

Authentic love and stability come from knowing your own energy signature. When we lack boundaries, we lose ourselves in other people’s emotions and chaos. When we hold them, we gain clarity, stability, and true self-worth. Saturn is asking: Do you have the discipline to love yourself fully?

Mercury is conjunct Saturn as well, adding a more serious and focused tone to communication and thought. It’s a time for integrating spiritual insights with grounded, real-world applications. This is Saturn asking you to handle your growth.

I used to resist Saturn so hard—no rules, no discipline. But the truth? Saturn isn’t punishment. It’s freedom through structure.

All this Piscean energy creates a portal. Dreams are heightened. Guidance is pouring in. The veil is thin. Pay attention to your dreams, your gut feelings, the synchronicities. Intuition is Spirit speaking through you.

With Mars, Pluto, and Uranus making harmonious aspects to this Pisces cluster, we’re being gifted energy, transformation, and awakening. This is a powerful portal to align your spiritual truth with how you live.

Ask yourself: What are you ready to birth? What are you finally ready to let go of?

All right, that’s what I’ve got for this week. It's a powerful time to be alive. Five alive. 2025 alive. I love you all. See you next time.
