“The visionary starts with a clean sheet of paper, and re-imagines the world.” – Malcolm Gladwell

The Moon is losing light as we approach a New Moon in Aries, a potent new moon for what comes after an ending: a new beginning. It’s the ultimate time, as we’re celebrating the astrological new year, and it’s the perfect time for creative inspiration. It’s not quite the time to act yet, but it is the time to see what you want come into creation in the great wonders of your dreams and imagination. Despite being a fire sign, Aries brings much hope with it as the first of the zodiac. It’s time for you to see how much potential lies in a fresh start.

New Moon in Aries 11°

11:24 PM PT | 2:24 AM +1 ET

Deepening Your Leadership Through Healing

The Aries New Moon is tightly conjunct Chiron, the Wounded Healer. Chiron helps you see how your wounds give rise to potent strength, deep wisdom, and necessary resilience. This Gift of Chiron points the way to your vulnerable leadership, and what you are meant to offer your soul customers.

In this lunation, you’re invited to fully accept that all your past hurts and all your tender growth points are essential to your leadership. Everything you’ve learned as you’ve worked to address and heal your wounds is foundational to the way you help others. Your healing is still in progress, yes, and this is an asset. A strength. Your wounds make you a compassionate, connected leader.

With Jupiter conjoining Neptune in Pisces in just a few days, you’re especially open to inspiration, intuitive hits, and connection with Spirit. And with Mars and Venus giving Saturn a big hug in Aquarius, there’s ample opportunity to ground your flights of fancy into tangible, practical actions with lasting impact.

Now is the time to clarify who you want to be as a leader, and to honor the ways in which everything you’ve been through gives you the strength and softness necessary to realize that vision.

Assert your voice

How can you assert yourself using your words and message in your Work?

Especially potent for Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)

“Where anger is a bursting flame, gentleness is a gentle rain.” — Father John Harden

With Venus entering dreamy Pisces and the Moon in her natural rulership, nurturing the caretaker sign of Cancer, this is a time to let your self care ritual help you stay soothed in your emotions. Hold what comes up with tenderness, for after the meetup of Mars and Saturn potentially bringing fear to the surface, it’s important to let those anxieties and feelings have their say and then lovingly harness them into Spirit-led inspiration for your next step.

For now, let the Watery themes of this week wash over you and lean into the connectedness that is around you. It will prepare you for what lies ahead!

Mars meets Saturn

6:51 PM PM | 9:51 PM ET

Reign it in

What are you desperately trying to control?

For a few days leading up to and away from this meeting, resist the urge to control a situation based on fear that could lead to exaggerated aggression. For sensitive ones, instead of control, you may want to hide. Do know that this is just temporary. Get curious with what strong emotions want you to understand.

Especially intense for Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius)

Connect through compassionate values

With what soul-aligned values connect you this season?

Now through May 2, it’s a beautiful time to connect with your soul-centered, empathetic people and resources. Venus loves being in Pisces, as she is exalted here in high-vibe power. During this season, harness your Spiritual and empathetic tools to call in the right people, right resources, and intuitively come up with your revenue aims in your business. During this time, it’s our soft super powers of empathy, love, interconnectedness, and imagination that allow us to call in the right people and the right resources.

Don’t mistake Venus in Pisces for being soft or weak. Softness is her power. Her ability to stretch, be malleable and to bring in information from the Divine to make manifest in our physical world.

For Luminaries with Pisces in Venus natally, you are a natural empath and appreciate the interconnected divine of all. It’s hard for you to put yourself first or value your sentimentality. It’s easy for you to be struck by beauty. Know that this is a strength, that this is not a weakness. People are drawn to you for your dreamy empathy. And be sure that the adoration you can easily pour into others is directed only to people who are worthy of your compassion. In your Work, harness this dreamy softness to create your value and amp up your worth.

11:48 PM PT | 2:48 AM +1 ET

Act + nourish

What practice of self care helps move the needle forward?

It’s time to take action on your intentions! The seeds you planted during the New Moon in Aries now require you to take action. Cancerian action is about security, nourishment and self care. So yes to naps to make money, being cozy at home for effectiveness, feelings for impact. Self care and holding space on the outside may not seem like productivity. But if these acts of nourishing replenish your ability to be more energized and effective, can you then see the value of that power nap!? Make space in your schedule for self care and home time so you can energetically, in alignment, act on your intentions.

Week of April 10 – 16, 2022

“Sometimes we ought to follow our instincts, or intuition and allow our imagination to take its role of leading us to freedom.” – Mwanandeke Kindembo, Destiny of Liberty

Mercury is churning with activity this week as they square off with Pluto and enter Taurus. It’s a time for examining and grounding before you communicate, and looking at what needs a deeper understanding.

And this grounding and reflection will come in handy shortly after! As Jupiter, the maestro of expansion, and Neptune, keeper of illusions, dance together in a union in dreamy Pisces — with fiery Mars joining in the same sign days later — this pileup is sure to bring about lots of intuitive hits for you!

Upgrades, expansions, and visions will abound in this overwhelming but wonderful time. Now is the time for you to dream big, and be aware of your resistance and the past fearing the change. Leaning gently into it all will help you move the dial forward as we begin to upgrade.

Mercury squares off with Pluto

1:45 AM PT | 4:45 AM ET

Hidden meanings

What assertions require deeper understanding?

On the days leading up to and away from this square off, be on the lookout for assertions from misunderstandings or misalignments. These miscommunications are your opportunity and creative edge to dive a bit deeper. The events that lead up to miscommunications have an under-the-surface significance and meaning for you. Resist the urge to react in your business and give in to the misunderstanding. Turn your gut reaction into inquisitive research to dig deeper. Your result will be in this uncovering.

Especially activating for Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn).

Grounded peaceful communications

What sense of peace grounds your thoughts?

You will feel a sense of relief as Mercury moves out of Aries into steady, grounded Taurus. Now through only April 29, Mercury zips through Taurus relieving the intense mindset urgencies to give your more mental space and practicality. You can now think with a bit of peace and embodiment about all the changes that need to come through in a sensible way. Ah…

For Luminaries with Mercury in Taurus natally, you take your time to say exactly what you mean. Your thoughts and understanding may be instantaneous, but it takes a bit to ease into expressing and acting on what you learn or how you want to react to a situation. When you are ready to speak or act on an idea and share what you know, trust that your words are grounded, stable and true to what you know to be true. Permission to take your time with responding.

Jupiter meets Neptune

7:42 AM PT | 10:42 AM ET

Spiritual Visionary Expansion

How is Spirituality and Consciousness expanding in your Work?

The biggest meetup of 2022. Jupiter and Neptune, two expansive and merry-making planets in our Solar System, meet up in the loving sign of Pisces.

Jupiter, a social planet, symbolizes growth, exploration, freedom, optimism, justice, philosophy, spirituality and vision.

Neptune, an outer planet, symbolizes compassion, interconnectedness, imagination, and magic, as well as spirituality and vision too.

These two most visionary planets meet up in their home sign of Pisces. Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Pisces and Neptune, the modern ruler of Pisces.

As Jupiter and Neptune meet, they are creating a new beginning of expansion based on inspiration, ideals, imagination, spirituality and vision.

In your Work and business, harness the power of vision and spiritual awareness.

Create a new paradigm where soft powers like kindness, intuition, love, and gratitude have a strategic and powerful place at the decision-making table.

The Virgo Moon at 0° is the hand holding the strings of all the planets as if they are balloons trying to float away. The moon asks you to make spirituality part of your daily routine in your Work so that you can feel more organized.

Bring forth your spiritual tools in your Work and get ready to inspire your own growth, and that of the people you serve.

Jupiter/Neptune facts:
Meet every 13 years or so
The last time was in 2009, in Aquarius.
Barack Obama was elected 44th President of the United States on the message of Hope
Bitcoin, the first digital currency to break free from centralized control, was invented

8:06 PM PT | 11:06 PM ET

Prioritize your vision

Are your motivations soul-centered?

Now through May 24, Mars spends his time in watery Pisces. Mars isn’t at his best in this vast sign as he can’t get clear on his desires, and can get misdirected on scenic routes causing him to lose steam. The last time Mars was in Pisces was May 2020, at the very start of lockdown and the unknowns. Recall that time of uncertainty and anxiety. The cosmic climate in 2022 is much more compassionate as we’ve all been through so much insecurity, we see how that energy drains our life force. Harness this Mars in Pisces energy, especially along with Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune already in Pisces to take action in your Work that is aligned with your soul’s purpose and direction.

For Luminaries with Mars in Pisces natally, you are motivated by soul-centered and sometimes unconscious drives. It can sometimes be too easy to go with the flow, and not having an arrow-straight directive. But if you let your soul and intuition lead the way with compassion, you can go after what you want even if your path isn’t linear. Listen to your emotions and notice how they drive your actions.

Full Moon Libra 26°

11:55 AM PT | 2:55 PM ET

Integrating the Power of Connections

Where have you let others have power over you?

The Full Moon in Libra illuminates how important balanced and reciprocal relationships and connections are to your Work. It’s abundantly clear: you cannot be a co-creator without fellow creators, and you cannot be a leader without people following your example.

On the other side of the coin, are there people in your life and Work who are asking too much of you, or worse, trying to manipulate you?

This lunation invites you to remember that while “It Takes Two to Tango,” you are always in charge of how you show up in relationship.

With Pluto square the Sun and Moon, it’s a perfect time to look at some of the intense relationships you’ve had that didn’t work out. You can see clearly now that you’ve learned valuable lessons about Who You Want to Be from the betrayals and power-grabs you’ve been through.

Finally, Mercury saddling up to Uranus in Taurus is ready to change the way you do business. It’s high time for further innovation in the way your Work embodies your values . . . and maybe for a price increase, too.

Week of April 17 – 23, 2022

“All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.” – Leo Tolstoy

Right before we come up against Taurus, the sign that reinforces our values and our worth, we have some underworld work to do. Mercury conjuncts Uranus for some unexpected breakthroughs in old patterning; the Sun also squares Pluto, generating creative tension in seeing what we haven’t been letting ourselves face. Use the Mercury and Uranus meetup to break through the mindsets and speak truth to the Work you want to be doing — not the one you feel stuck in!

The Sun ingress into Taurus will help you realize the progression of these transits means you were supposed to tear down old structures to help yourself build new ones for your abundance and highest Good. You got this.

Mercury, our communications and understanding, meets up with Uranus, the awakener, giving us breakthroughs in our mindset and thoughts. Shameful feelings are now seen in a different light and transmuted into new ways of showing up in your Work. The energy is fleeting yet powerful. Keep a journal handy, for you’ll want to remember this.

Season of grounding and building

What do you add value through your business?

The Sun enters the beautiful and sensual sign of Taurus. For the next month, you get to play with the ideals of peace, prosperity and savor all Earthly senses. In your Work, it’s a time to look at your worth and abundance: what you value, how you add value and the promises you give yourself and your ideal customers. Remember, abundance and worthiness is not a destination — it’s a state of being, a feeling that vibrates out and attracts more abundance. Abundance can show up as your money earned or resources that come to you through other means. It doesn’t matter how you receive the physical resources that you need to thrive on Mother Earth. It’s your abundance. With Taurus season, one thing to be aware of is that the bounty that we get to create is to be shared and not to be hoarded. There is enough for everyone.

Happiest of solar return birthdays to the Taurus Luminaries!

For Taurus Luminaries, you shine brightly when you are Working your grounded, embodied strengths. For you, taking your time is a super power. Prioritize opportunities in your Work that allow you to create peace, abundance, beauty, coziness for your surroundings and your body. If your body says yes, then it’s a go for you.

4Q Moon Aquarius 3°

4:56 AM PT | 7:56 AM ET

Relax and be with friends

What can you easily do today with friends to get some inner emotional clarity?

The last quarter moon phase is an internal integration phase in our lives and business. When you slow down to review all you have done to work towards your intentions, you have the chance to internalize all that has happened. This is your time to cultivate all that you have learned and assess what you want to continue with and what you want to revise. It’s time to compost and churn back what is not needed as nourishment for the seeds you’ve planted.

With the Aquarius 4Q moon, spend some of this integration week relaxing with your friends sharing your hopes and dreams.

Week of April 24 – 30, 2022

“Don’t be afraid of the shadows, it only means there’s a light nearby.” – Amy Lee

This week is action-packed and a time to go even deeper into the shadows. Even with the Sun in Taurus giving us a sense of grounding and abundance, it is a time to stand steady on the ground while it shakes beneath your feet!

Venus and Neptune embrace briefly, lending a hand to our imagination flowing as we fine tune our visions, right after Mercury is buzzing and having tensions with a Saturn square and a dalliance of a trine with Pluto, prompting us to transform how we communicate the depths of our hearts.

All this leads up to Pluto beginning his retrograde in Capricorn, illuminating the dark underbelly of how we do the Work and making us see the intensity at its hottest. Mercury ingressing into quick-witted Gemini, a sign they rule, gives us an extra boost as the New Moon and Partial Solar Eclipse in Taurus makes us see the underbelly of what our emotional reality is creating — and encourages us to keep going.

Say less, no need to over explain

What is said by not being said?

In certain situations like today, there is no need to rush to answer, over explain or reiterate. Your lack of words can better get your message across. For a day leading up to and away, harness this communication style for greater impact.

Creativity + imagination flows

What is your higher octave of creativity and connectivity?

One of the brightest days of April – you’ll feel good, so be sure to connect with those you love.

Venus and Neptune meeting up feels absolutely beautiful and expansive, especially since Jupiter is still closely aligned – indeed, it feels like a soul encompassing joyful embrace, ahh. Venus, our ability to connect with the right people and the right resources, and Neptune, a similar energy at a higher octave, interconnects us all at a soul-level. When these two lovely energies meet, everything beautiful and sublime comes together in dreamy vision. This is a great energy to feel and manifest your dreams. The challenge is to take that vision from so high above and bring it down to this Earthly plane without losing this fleeting yet intense Love. Capture this beauty by sharing it through the generous work you offer in your business.

Ps: Note that Mercury enters the shadow zone today for the Rx that starts on May 10. Start to notice communications themes that need to be rethought.

Your said truths have power

What messages are making an impact on your understanding now?

A great time to fine tune your message for grounded, practical impact!

For a few days before and a few days after, you will have the support of the cosmos to ground some of your messages for which you’ve been laboring. For example, if you’ve been struggling with your big message being too vague or not stating the value of the transformation your Work offers, this energy will give you the grounding you need to clarify in a way that is clear, step-by-step YET with powerful impact.

Pluto Retrograde begins Capricorn 28°

11:35 AM PT | 2:35 PM ET

Feel into the intensity of transformation

What emotional truths want to come to light?

Today, Pluto shifts gears and appears to go backwards in the sky. Pluto spends about 50% of the year in reverse, and because this dwarf planet is so far removed from us on Earth, its effects are subtle – yet profound. The week up to and away from this shift is where we will feel the power of Pluto the most intensely. The key to working with Pluto is to dive into the intensity. If you try to avoid the intensity, Pluto will only up the heat. Notice what shadows want to come into the light. Befriend these shadows, get to know them, their hurts and work through them. That is how you transform.

The small area between Capricorn 24° and 26° is where Pluto will highlight. If you have any natal planets or angles in late degrees of Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) or Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) signs you will feel the intensity of your natal energies wanting to transform in your life and Work.

Mercury enters Gemini

3:23 PM PT | 6:23 PM ET

Thoughts are curious and quick

What information will you share to engage?

Mercury returns to its home sign of Gemini for an extended stay of 6 weeks through June 13 because of our Mercury Rx cycle that starts in a week! While at home in chatty Gemini, Mercury is particularly strong while moving forward, taking care of business through sharing ideas, teaching, writing, and all things communication. You may have a ton to say and share, but remember, Gemini at its highest is about being curious and listening too. In a few weeks, Mercury will step on the brakes to begin its second retrograde cycle where you will get to rethink, reflect and re-understand to gain more clarity. Your thoughts will be moving quickly, so be sure to always have a notepad or note app handy to capture your ideas.

For Luminaries with Mercury in Gemini natally, you are a wonder with words. Your thoughts and actions are quick (unless you have a natal retrograde Mercury). You likely are a gifted writer, teacher, and speaker. You are quick to pick up new concepts, understand and share a reply. You are also wonderful at understanding where others get stuck in their thinking process. Sometimes this quickness and haste can leave room for improvement with getting your facts accurate. Yes, go quickly AND go through a second pass to fact check.

New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse Taurus 10°

1:28 PM PT | 4:28 PM ET

ONE OF THE MOST LUCKY NEW MOONS OF 2022!

Be open to quantum leaps!

Initiating Intuitive/Compassionate Worth

What new seeds of quantum leap value, worthiness and abundance do you want to plant?

Comfort, Pleasure, and Peace are not usually words we associate with eclipses . . . and yet those are the vibes this New Moon Solar Eclipse in Taurus is radiating.

The New Moon is ruled by a deliciously attuned Venus in Pisces, who’s there alongside fellow benefic Jupiter and dreamy Neptune — all three of them reminding us of What’s Good, and insisting we see how everything is interconnected. The energy of our surroundings, both material and emotional, has deep resonance in our being, and thus also in our Work.

It’s time to buy the good (delicious and nutritious) food, to invest in the good (ethical and comfortable) clothes, to live in a good (beautiful and harmonious) home. Our material choices reflect and express our values, including our self-value: this eclipse asks us to choose wisely.

Mars adds heat and Uranus contributes sparks to this eclipse: if you’ve been clinging to your limitations and refusing to step into more abundance, you may have a Let Go or Be Dragged moment! Be open to quantum leaps into abundance.

Overall, this moment offers you an invitation to approach your material reality with more hope, imagination, and Spirit. Your comfort and peace are fundamental to your Work.
