The podcast episode and written content are complimentary but not exactly the same. For the full experience, you’re encouraged to read and listen.
The week we’ve all been waiting for—Mercury and Venus are stationing direct, and things will start feeling a bit “normal” again. I had such a textbook Mercury retrograde experience this time around that I was tempted to use this post to play “Mercury Retrograde Bingo” but that felt a bit melodramatic. But if you also experienced scheduling glitches, unexpected car trouble, or even uncovering new information (such as a different birth time), you are not alone.
Here’s what we have to look forward to this week.
Monday, April 7th: Mercury Stations Direct, Venus Conjunct Saturn
Tuesday, April 8th: Venus Sextile Uranus
Saturday, April 12th: Sun Conjunct Chiron, Full Moon in Libra, Venus Stations Direct
Guidance for working with these transits is covered in the episode. I’ll be using April 12th to release the first (6) episodes of the new Collectively Speaking Podcast. Some of these conversations have been patiently waiting since October 2024 to be released into the world, and we’ve finally arrived.
I originally had a different post attached to this episode, but when I read it back after publishing it, it just didn’t make any sense. I’m not kidding about how much I’ve been effected by this Mercury Rx—I’ve found it difficult to even form a sentence. This is usually not my experience with this transit, but there’s been so much going on behind the scenes since the start of 2025 that I think I’ve been too impatient to work in harmony with the retrograde energy and just kept trying to push forward. Lesson(s) learned.
So we’re going to keep it simple today. Here’s what happened last week:
Episode 73 about the Saturn/Mars/Uranus dance was a huge hit, and I can only hope that it gave you a spark of an idea to move on during this window of opportunity. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for all of your listens and shares. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I wanted to allow this publication to grow naturally without using other social media platforms, and this manifested faster than I could have imagined. For context….
I used the transit I talked about in that episode to do a few “housekeeping” items for the business that made sense based on the areas of my chart these planets are influencing. First, I brought back readings to the 10th House Astrology Shop, but now with a specialized focus on business. Second, I’m putting all my eggs in the Substack basket—attaching the 10thhouseastrology.com domain here and bringing over my email list. Third, I joined forces with
to record an episode about Neptune in Aries, the first of what I hope are many collaborations. This was also the first time attached a written post to a podcast episode, which was unplanned, so that feels significant.I also figured out how to launch a “referral” program to thank you for referring 10th House Astrology to your friends. This publication will always remain free, so the “rewards” for your referrals will come in the form of discount codes that you can use on any product in the 10th House Astrology Shop.
I think that’s where I’ll leave you today. Thank you for being here, and for witnessing this never-ending experimentation. I hope you spend the week ahead giving yourself a little extra love so that you are ready for your next level when we emerge from this retrograde energy.
