✨ 3 Things to Keep in Mind This Week
This week is asking something of you. It’s not light, it’s not passive, and it’s not choice—it’s intentional. You are being pushed to your growth edges in ways that may feel uncomfortable, disorienting, or even unfair at times. But there is purpose here. This is a week about becoming.
Discernment is essential. Not everything that comes through—conversations, realizations, intuitive hits—is as clear as it seems in the moment. There is a fog moving through the sky that distorts timing, clarity, and perception. You don’t need to rush to understand everything right away. Let things unfold. Let things reveal themselves.
And most importantly, this is a week where pressure is building power. What feels hard, delayed, or obstructed is not here to punish you—it’s here to strengthen you. There is something long-term being constructed beneath all of this, and you are being asked to meet it with intention, patience, and honesty.

Venus sextile Jupiter
There’s something supportive about today that feels almost like a gift before the intensity of the rest of the week sets in. The energy here is expansive, generous, and quietly encouraging you to take advantage of what’s available. If the rest of the week is about being stretched, then today is about resourcing yourself before that stretch begins.
This is a moment to get your affairs in order, to tend to what feels good, to lean into connection, ease, or even pleasure where you can. It may not feel urgent, but it is strategic. There is an opportunity to create a sense of stability or openness within yourself that you’re going to want to draw from later in the week when things feel heavier.

Mercury in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus
There’s a culmination happening here. Both Mercury and Uranus are sitting at the final degree of their signs, which carries a kind of pressure that can feel both clarifying and overwhelming at the same time. This is not casual energy—it’s a closing chapter, a final integration point.
Mercury brings in the themes of communication, thought patterns, and how you process your reality. Uranus, on the other hand, has been slowly restructuring your relationship to freedom, autonomy, and truth over the past several years. When these two meet at this critical degree, there is an invitation to connect the dots between what you’ve been learning recently and the much longer arc of your evolution.
You may find yourself needing to say something that has been building for a long time. Or perhaps something clicks internally, a realization that suddenly makes sense of the last several years of your life. The key here is to communicate in a way that feels grounded in your nervous system. Not reactive, not explosive—but intentional, embodied, and clear in its care.
Mercury enters Aries
As Mercury shifts into Aries, we enter a new energetic terrain—one that is much louder, faster, and more direct. There is now a concentration of planetary energy in Aries, and when energy clusters like this, it intensifies the focus on one area of life. This isn’t subtle. This is activation.
But Mercury doesn’t enter cleanly. It walks straight into Neptune.
And this is where things get complicated.
There’s a strange blend here of urgency and confusion, of speed and fog. Communication may feel charged, immediate, even impulsive—but at the same time, unclear or distorted. It can feel like something important is happening, but you can’t quite grasp it fully.
This is where discernment becomes non-negotiable.
Not everything being said is grounded in reality. Not everything you’re hearing—or even thinking—is fully formed or accurate yet. There’s a dreamlike quality that can blur boundaries, intentions, and truth. It doesn’t mean nothing is real, but it does mean you need to slow down your interpretation of it.
Write things down. Reflect before responding. Ask for clarity, and then ask for it again. If something matters, take the extra step to ensure mutual understanding. This is not the week to assume—you need confirmation.

Sun conjunct Chiron
Mercury conjunct Neptune
There is a tenderness to this day that feels deeply personal. The Sun meeting Chiron brings forward something that has been in the process of healing, something that may have once felt like a wound but is now asking to be seen through a different lens.
This isn’t about reopening pain for the sake of it. This is about recognition. About seeing how far you’ve come, even if the process has been messy or incomplete. There is a kind of grace available here, a moment where you can meet yourself with compassion instead of critique.
At the same time, Mercury’s conjunction with Neptune continues to blur the lines of communication and perception. Emotions may run high, intuition may feel amplified, but clarity can still feel just out of reach. This is not a day for definitive conclusions—it’s a day for feeling, witnessing, and allowing.
Let whatever is surfacing inform your New Moon intentions, rather than rushing to define them.
Mars sextile Pluto
There is a quiet but powerful undercurrent running through this day as Mars reaches out to Pluto. Mars is in a transitional space, having just moved through Neptune’s fog and heading toward its eventual meeting with Saturn. Before it gets there, Pluto steps in as a kind of guide.
This aspect feels like a remembering. A call back to something that began or shifted in January, particularly around themes of power, control, and transformation. There is an opportunity here to apply what you’ve learned, but in a way that requires effort, awareness, and intention.
This is not easy energy—but it is empowering.
Pluto is asking you not to forget what you’ve already survived, what you’ve already navigated, and what that has taught you about your own strength. There is something being built here that requires you to stay conscious of the dynamics at play—internally and externally.
Friday, April 17th
New Moon in Aries (with Mars in Aries)
This New Moon does not arrive quietly. It comes in with force, with urgency, with a kind of heat that demands action. There is a strong pull to initiate, to begin, to claim something for yourself.
And yet, this is not simple manifestation energy.
There is friction here. There are obstacles woven into the process. What you are setting into motion now is not meant to be easy—it’s meant to be meaningful. The intentions you plant under this New Moon are going to require sustained effort, discipline, and resilience.
This is about choosing something that matters enough to work towards.
Not just in bursts of inspiration, but in consistent, grounded action over time.
Saturday, April 18th
Mercury sextile Pluto
After days of fog, something begins to sharpen. Mercury’s connection to Pluto brings depth, insight, and a kind of truth that cuts through the noise. There may be a conversation, a realization, or an internal shift that helps everything start to make more sense.
This is supportive energy, especially for the transformations you are moving through in the Aries part of your chart. It doesn’t remove the challenges, but it gives you access to the power needed to navigate them.
Pluto shows up here as an ally. A reminder that even in intensity, there is strength. Even in uncertainty, there is direction.
Sunday, April 19th
Sun enters Taurus
There is a noticeable shift as the Sun moves into Taurus. After so much fire, so much movement, so much pressure, this brings a grounding influence that feels stabilizing.
Taurus invites you back into your body. Back into the present moment. Back into what feels good, tangible, and real.
Even as the challenges of Aries season continue, there is space here to soften the experience. To bring in beauty, pleasure, and care. To remember that life is not only about pushing through—it’s also about savoring what you can, when you can.
There is something deeply healing about allowing both to coexist.
Mars conjunct Saturn
This is one of the most demanding alignments of the week. Mars, driven and action-oriented, meets Saturn, the planet of restriction, discipline, and reality checks. When these two come together, there can be a feeling of being blocked, slowed down, or tested in ways that feel deeply frustrating.
This is where urgency meets limitation.
Where desire meets resistance.
Where effort meets structure.
It can feel like everything is requiring more from you than you expected—more patience, more work, more endurance. But this is not without purpose.
This is the kind of energy that builds something lasting.
It asks you to get clear about what you’re willing to commit to, even when it’s hard. Even when it doesn’t move as quickly as you want. Even when it feels like you’re being asked to prove something—not to others, but to yourself.
There is a lesson here about what it really means to succeed.
And it’s not about speed. It’s about staying power.
