Although you’re likely still experiencing the aftershock of the changes that began in March, we have some nice astrology to work with this week that will help us step into a new chapter. Mercury moves into Aries and forms a conjunction with Neptune, feeding us the ideas that will bring our dream to into form. Then Mars moves into Leo and trines Neptune to give us the courage to make it real. And finally, the Sun in Taurus will help us feel grounded in the process as we embody the new level of self-worth we just spent the last 6 weeks developing while Venus was in retrograde.
Here are the details:
Wednesday, April 16th
Mercury moves into Aries, giving you the mental drive to start moving on your plans again. Mercury in Pisces had you dreaming about what we wanted and tapping into your intuition, and now it’s going to be time to act on those dreams. It’s also going to help you get really clear on your message, which Miranda Arnold and I also cover in Copywriting in a New Age.
Thursday, April 17th
Mercury conjunct Neptune in Aries, to help us conceptualize the plan and give us ideas about how you can make your dream a reality. Let your imagination run—because you’re going to get a glimpse of what your Neptune in Aries mission is. Pay attention to your dreams and sure you carve out time today to clear your mind long enough to hear your instructions.
Friday, April 18th
Mars moves into Leo after being in Cancer for nearly 6 of the last 12 months, where it struggles. Now that it’s in Leo, we’re all going to get a little glow-up. Your motivation will turn towards becoming the best and showing the world who you are and what you can do, and you’ll have the courage to stand up for what you want and create the things you wish existed in the world.
If you have Mars in Leo in your birth chart, you’re in a Mars return. Listen to the episode for more information about this.
Saturday, April 19th
Mars trines Neptune, which could tempt you to escape reality but will also be a fantastic time to take inspired action on the idea you received while Mercury was conjunct Neptune earlier in the week. You’ll have the drive and clarity to move forward. so trust whatever is coming alive for you.
Sun moves into Taurus, which will ground us and help us to slow down and enjoy the physical experience instead of being in our heads. Slow and steady is the path to success this season—Taurus rewards quality over quantity.
If you are an Aries, Leo or Sagittarius Rising, Taurus rules one of your Money Houses, meaning an aspect of your work is in focus this season.

Venus Sextile Uranus: Look for invitations to do things differently. You may even find an out-of-the-box solution to help you with something you’ve been struggling with, or run into someone unexpectedly who can expand your horizons.
Mercury Sextile Pluto: Conversations are a little more intense today, which can be great for negotiating deals or contracts. Move on anything where your logic and intuition are in agreement and both giving you the green light.
On a personal note…
Last week was hard. I try to remind myself that obstacles being thrown at me are the Universe’s way of orchestrating divine timing, but damn is it frustrating when you’re in the thick of it. Especially when those obstacles are stupid things like arguing with companies to get money back that I was owed (this happened three times in the same day). My mind isn’t quite clear yet (it took three takes to record this episode), someone close to me received life-altering news, and I’m wrestling the anxiety that naturally comes with change as I face a major one myself. A change that I chose, but still, change is scary.
It wasn’t all bad, though. The highlight was recording an episode with the Cosmic Cannibal for her podcast where we laughed at each others Mercury Retrograde experiences. Our conversation was fun, funny and eye-opening, and I was inspired to book one of her signature Fame Readings as a Jupiter Return gift to myself. It’s on May 5th, and I’ll be sure to tell you all about it.
I also FINALLY launched Collectively Speaking, a new pop-up podcast exploring the mystical, metaphysical, and deeply human aspects of our shared experience. This project was unplanned and came together as a result of several other “failed” projects that I attempted late in 2024. I am so grateful that everything worked out the way it did so that I can now share these very real, very honest conversations with other small business owners who I respect and admire—without talking about business.
If you’re feeling these kinds of ups and downs, too, know that you are not alone. There is nothing you did wrong. We are just being trained in the level of surrender that’s required by the universe. Below is a helpful perspective shared by my friend. We all need at least one friend we can talk about the universe with. If you don’t, DM me.
I believe that it will all start to come together this week. For many of us. As the dust settles, we’ll be able to see pieces of the big picture and the role we’re here to play in it. A role that won’t allow us to bypass our fear, but will require us to develop the courage to face it. This week feels like a “rallying of the troops”, and we are the troops, being positioned like chess pieces in the game that is unfolding before our eyes.
