Happy Eclipse Season! Happy Equinox! Happy Astrological New Year! Celebrate all the things, darlings - because there's plenty to celebrate!
Well, at least celebrate the Equinox/New Year, occurring officially on March 19th. Usually it’s the 21st, so for those of you in the know, you may be raising your scholarly eyebrows and wondering why your calculations are off.
They're not off, sweetheart. It’s just that this is a Leap Year, which does jumble the heavens around somewhat. Nevertheless, raise your glass and relish the fact that you have yet another chance to begin the year. If January 1st wasn't your time, and if you don’t celebrate any other New Year from any other culture, then this is your moment. Set some intentions, babe. Think of them as early as March 10th, with the New Moon in magical Pisces. Then, move ahead from the 19th onwards, as the Sun marches into action-oriented Aries, ready for a new and exciting chapter. No more dilly-dallying, says the Archetypal Warrior.
Except, there may be a touch of dilly-dally, what with Mars, the ruler of Aries, entering Pisces for the first time in two years on the 22nd. Oops. That puts a damper on things, doesn't it? Here we are, all ready to go with our swords and shields and plans, but where are we actually going? What do we want? How do we want it? Do we want more than one thing? Are we procrastinating or waiting for a sign (hopefully, the latter!).
These may be some of the reflections we need to power through for the next few months, darlings. We simply must act, but only from the heart. Because that's the clearest indicator, Attempting to use our heads, well, that will only have us spinning. Follow your flow, babe. Be drawn to your bliss. The Eclipse Season, kicking off with a Full Moon in Libra on March 25th, is bound to bring us all kinds of clarity and climaxes, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Ready, steady, go!
As if to drive April Fool’s Day home, Mercury, the Trickster planet, moves into retrograde motion on the 1st.
Hello, April.
For three weeks until April 25th, Mercury’s backward foray in the sign of Aries, the Warrior(ess), is bound to bring up all kinds of niggly, uncomfortable moments. Impatience colors the month due to wanting to make a decision right now, right at this very moment. Yet, we may be held back, delayed, or otherwise stymied. Remember, patience is a virtue, darlings. Slow down. There’s no need to rush.
Venus enters this self-same sign on April 5th, igniting passion and impetuousness in all things romance and finance-related, making it hard to resist our impulses. Yet, Mercury’s retrograde energy, once again, reminds us to reflect and review before we dash into where angels fear to tread.
The biggest news of the month, however, is the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8th, also in Aries. This closes off Eclipse Season with a bang, inviting a brand-new beginning. Aries energy is all about blazing a new chapter, pioneering, seizing the bull by the horns, and fearlessly riding the storms of chaos. Aries loves a challenge, so what new challenges can you set for yourself in the months and even years to come? In what way do you need to clear the decks, darling? Where can you be bolder, braver, more courageous? How can you put yourself first, more and more? It’s okay to be a little selfish, you know.
It may also be useful to brainstorm some of what’s coming up so that when the time comes, you’re ready to spring into action, true Aries-style. Sure, the Mercury retrograde is somewhat of a hindrance, so it may take a hot minute before we can fully embrace the excitement of new adventures. Yet, our time will come. Trust, baby. Eclipses have a way of moving us speedily towards our destiny, whether we like it or not.
Taurus Season kicks off on April 19th, slowing the pace down and bringing a sense of calm and peace. Exciting opportunities abound with the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus on the 20th, a much-anticipated celestial event in 2024. The Full Moon on April 23rd in deep, dark Scorpio reminds us of the delicate balance of change and stability, illuminating the intentions that we set several months ago during the New Moon in this same sign.
Hooray for May! Goodbye, Eclipse Season! Welcome, Gemini Season! Let’s get talking, let’s explore new things, try different places, spaces, and people. Let’s network, let’s play, let’s explore all of what life has to offer, beckons the sign of the Cosmic Twins.
But before we get too excited, let’s look into what precedes this busy season. May 1st brings a testy square between beautiful Venus and dark Pluto, starting the month on a shadowy note. Fear not, darlings - this isn’t a sign of things to come. It’s simply an invitation to deal with any repressed issues we might have around love and money. Let’s not dwell too long, because on the 2nd, Pluto moves into retrograde and things become more, well, digestible. We’ll be looking at any subtle ways in which we’ve grown and transformed since March of last year, when Pluto first entered Aquarius. It’s time to integrate, baby.
There’s also a delightful, sensual New Moon in Taurus on May 8th, inviting us to create intentions around security, stability, luxury, and pleasure. It’s a wonderful, wonderful life, darlings, so let’s embrace the deliciously human aspects of it with this gentle lunation. Mercury also enters this most patient of signs on the 15th. This is exactly what we need after his prolonged stay in confrontational, high-energy Aries. It’s time to channel those inspired ideas towards practical foundations, honey.
The Sun marches into Gemini on the 20th, kicking off the beginning of a season in which we’ll all be learning, to some degree or another. Book that social diary, darling. So many people. So many activities. So little time. Venus follows just a day after her hedonistic meetup with Jupiter in Taurus, reflecting a time where our relationships will be full of lightness and humor. Finally, Jupiter, too, enters this sign on the 25th after a year-long journey in Taurus. Jupiter expands all things Gemini, making this next cycle one to remember.
The warning here, honey, is to make sure your eyes aren’t bigger than your plate. You can’t possibly do it all, you know. Prioritize. Choose. Don’t fuss too much over details that, ultimately, won’t matter in the bigger picture of things. Let’s promise to walk our talk, to not break too many commitments, and to communicate when we need change—because we will, babe. Oh, we will.
All the efforts that you’re about to make, all the progress that’s coming, it’s going to happen behind the scenes, baby. Whilst one part of you - the conscious part - marches out into the world, ready for your Birthday Season to kick off on the 19th, the other part of you, is backstage, trying to figure out exactly where it is that you’re marching to. If this sounds confusing, well, that’s because it is, a little. You'll have to drop ever so deeply into your heart space now, sweetheart. Ask your spirit what it's craving. If it’s some rest, give it that. If it’s action, go for that. Just make sure that you keep checking in with you.
Venus glides into the sector of your chart connected to aspirations and dreams on the 11th. Here, she ignites your creative energy and inspires you to connect with like-minded souls who share your greatest hopes. From the 22nd, when Mars joins her, it’s time to take action on these plans. It’s time to get moving, Be mindful of following the call of your soul, darling. Don’t listen to the chitter-chatter of your brain, no matter how insistent it is. This season is all about intuition, about guidance and about surrounding yourself with people who emanate the same light as you.
Your star rises as early as March 10th, what with the New Moon blooming beautifully in your professional sector. This ignites all kinds of inspirational possibilities, whether you're a small business wonder, a homemaker, a creative, a healer or anything else. It's time to shift your role in the world, sweetheart. To step into more of who you’re supposed to be. Dream big. Now, dream bigger. Bigger than that. There you go. Don’t be afraid to leverage your relationships to get you to where you need to be going. The most important thing to keep in mind, however, is to consciously choose your path. Dilly-dallying will only create pointless suffering.
This month is ever so special, sweetheart. It brings along all the good things - from spiritual growth, to potential new journeys, travels, studying, or just a sense of soul expansion. The New Moon on the 10th is what sets all of this deliciousness off, followed by the entry of Venus into this sector on the 11th, and Mars hot on her heels on the 22nd. If you’ve never before had a passion for expansion - well - get ready for new horizons to excite you. What’s more, the Sun’s move into your career sector is also an energy that may bring along all kinds of interesting opportunities for you to shine, baby, shine!
As your ruler, the Sun, shifts sectors into your personal growth sector on the 19th, all you’re going to be focused on is ways to make your world a little - actually, a lot - bigger. This month is the ideal time for you to embrace your role as coach, mentor and guide, to write your story, to make your mark. You may also feel the urge to build new skills and talents that will help you to claim your place in the spotlight come next month. Sign up for that workshop, babe. Go to that seminar. Better yet, lead that seminar. You know you want to. The stage beckons. It’s your power place.
Mercury, your ruler, changes his cloak and dons on the Warrior-like armor of Aries on March 9th. This transit may bring along an uncharacteristically impulsive energy to your world, one in which - gasp and horror - you're ready to take a bit of a risk. You’re supported, babe. Go for it. This is the first time in a year, or perhaps even longer, that the stage is so well set up for you to take that leap. Look at your partnerships and relationships if you're feeling a little wobbly. They're right there. They have your back. Don’t hesitate to strike up some new partnerships, if that’s what your soul is calling for.
Mark your diary for the end of the month, darling. The Full Moon Eclipse unfolds in your very own sign on the 25th, bringing some sort of major climax to your world. This may be in the realm of relationships - your favorite thing ever, we know - or perhaps in the realm of your own personal journey. It’s the fruition of whatever seeds were sown back in October of last year. You’re going to come out of this situation empowered, darling, so no matter how intense or scary it feels, go right in there. Face your shadow head-on. Ask for what you desire. Don’t take no for an answer.
If there’s anything - anything at all - that you’re passionate about, then this would be the time for you to make it a reality. The New Moon of March 10th is one that ignites a several-months-long journey of joy, fun, even love - if that’s what you’re looking for. It's important that you turn deeply into your soul and honor what it wants, even if it seems woo-woo or wishy-washy. Eager to explore pottery? Do it. Got a fascination with studying reiki? Sign up for that course. Want to meet your soulmate? Get out there and ask the Universe, with faith and intention. Create, baby. The world is full of possibilities.
Is there somewhere your soul is yearning to go? Physically? Is there a location you’re eager to explore? If so, this is your time, darling. Go and view that space. Sign the lease. Put in the offer. Ask your honey to move in. Do whatever it takes for you to feel like you've landed in the right space for your spirit. If family matters are on your mind, from March 10th things like they’re going to be renewed, reviewed and improved. Venus’s entry into this sector makes it all so much sweeter. Just be mindful, darling, that you don’t move into sacrificial mode.
The Eclipse on March 25th is a big one for you. You may be catapulted into the next level when it comes to your career, though it'll take some compromise and balance to ensure that you don’t end up neglecting your roots, your home, your people. Remember; to grow tall, you need to be anchored. And if your current anchors aren’t serving you, then it may be time to move on. To let go, to release, to anchor yourself to something new and different. Don’t be afraid of change, honey. If that’s what you need to move ahead in life, then honor it.
The start of the month - specifically on the 9th - may feel like you’re moving in a direction that you can’t control. That your foundations are shifting, that you’re freeing yourself of old paradigms that just no longer work for you. Yet be careful of playing the part of the rebel too well, baby. Rein it in a tad. Don’t destroy what you've worked so hard for. There’s a new beginning awaiting you in the material realm, and you want to ensure that you're grounded enough to deal with it. By the end of the month, you'll have a very clear idea of exactly what decisions you need to be making.
A New Moon in your sign - well, well, well, isn’t that a lucky break? The 10th sees a new chapter unfolding for you - one in which you’re potentially walking a totally different path to the one that you may have been previously on. The planets Venus and Mars are supporting you this month too, as they enter your sign on the 11th and 22nd, reflecting a magnetic, attractive and powerful energy in you. No one will be able to resist your charms, darling. And there’s nothing you won’t get the moment you desire it. Bask in these cosmic gifts. You deserve each and every last one of them.
This is probably one of the biggest months of the year for you, baby, if not the biggest. Mercury retrograde. The transit of Venus and Mars. The Total Solar Eclipse. All happening in your very own sign. The Universe is moving you in ways that you never thought possible, honey, so hold on tight. Your life might look very different in a few months, or a year, from what it is now. Take time to reflect on some of your major decisions before you spring into action. The Eclipse will likely take care of things so that you don't have to. Lean in and ride these thrilling storms of change.
Your Birthday Season kicks off on the 19th, baby, so bide your time until then. What can you do in the interim? Clear the decks. Take the initiative to make space for renewal. You have a new chapter awaiting you. The Eclipse may remove people and situations from your life that no longer hold weight. That no longer adds value to your world. Change is scary for you, honey, so be gentle with yourself. Take things one step at a time, and if they start happening too fast, just breathe and trust that there’s a divine plan in all of this. You’ll see, especially when Jupiter and Uranus align in your sign on the 20th.
Oh, dang. There goes Mercury again, doing his mischievous backward dance. This does put somewhat of a spanner in the proverbial works, particularly when it comes to certain goals you’ve been working towards. Not to mention the Eclipse unfolding in this same sector of your aspirations, hopes, and wishes. Keep in mind that we get what we need, not what we want. Maybe these goals weren't for you anymore. Maybe they needed to change, and you just didn’t realize it until this very moment. Give the dust some time to settle, and you’ll soon see the divine reason behind all of this.
Ready to kick off a whole new chapter, darling? This Solar Eclipse happens in one of the most active areas of your chart, the sector that rules your career and calling. As such, the next several months, or even years, may illuminate a whole new personal path. You’re stepping into a new role, whatever that means for you. You’re grabbing the bull by the horns. You’re taking charge. You’re rising to the challenge. Bold, brave, and fearless are your keywords for the month ahead. Plus, there’s a delicious new opportunity or goal awaiting you come April 20th, too. Things are looking oh-so-good.
Time for a new adventure? Absolutely. There’s a remarkable journey ahead of you now, so embrace this chapter with both hands, baby. Sure, you may dance back and forth, doubting and questioning. This is par for the course. You have the whole wide world at your feet now. It’s healthy to have some doubts because, without doubt, we would probably make some pretty silly decisions. If you’re not sure where to even start, rest assured that the Eclipse on the 8th should kick things off quite nicely for you. It’s a delicious kind of chaos that’s unfolding. From the 19th, your world starts stabilizing, and you’re rising up in the ranks. Go, you.
As much as you might attempt to plan, consolidate, and budget, you’ve got to be okay with making room for the unpredictable. April’s Mercury retrograde on the 1st and the Eclipse on the 8th may have you needing to learn greater flexibility. Your resources are shifting. Change is on the horizon. It’s inevitable. Keep in mind that this is to help place you in a position where you’re open to the sudden adventures that seem to be unfolding on your doorstep come April 20th. There’s order to this chaos. This should set your heart at ease, darling. Everything is happening just the way that it’s meant to.
Aries is your opposite sign, making April quite the month when it comes to relationships. If you've been waiting and hoping for a sign from someone special to come along, well, this could be your moment, honey. Open your heart. If they happen to be an ex, that's the Mercury retrograde talking. Close that door firmly. In order to make space, you need closure. Move on, babe. Your ruler, Venus, brings a fiery warmth to your connections until April 29th, at which point she settles down into a steady sort of calmness. Along with the Sun’s support, she gifts you with all you need and much, much more.
Mark the date of the 23rd, when a Full Moon blooms in your very own sign. Hark back to several months ago, when a New Moon was born here. What were the intentions you seeded back then? Do you like what you see now? What needs to change in your personal path, in your relationships? How can you find a better balance between stability and change? With Jupiter and Uranus aligning in your relationship sector on the 20th, all kinds of wonderful, new (and unexpected) opportunities have the chance to come along. The Sun and Venus also enter this area on April 19th and 29th respectively, bringing a soft, fruitful, and delicious energy. Yum.
A creative dream that you hold dear to your heart—a passion, a yearning—has the chance of becoming a reality, what with the Eclipse energy unfolding on the 8th. There’s a promise of love, darling. Whether that’s the romantic kind of love or love for what you do, doesn’t matter, in the grand scheme of things. Love is love, baby. Give the reins over to the Universe and let her do as she will to help your heart open more and more. From the 19th, and especially on the 20th, the cosmic energy promises more day to day stability, yet with the delicious promise of unexpected opportunities, too.
This month asks you to be open to allowing your foundations to shift. This may look like your home, your family foundations, or simply your inner base. The Eclipse on the 8th may bring along a cosmic storm, asking you to take a bold chance and go - perhaps literally - where you’ve never gone before. Trust that any endings that unfold are there to help create more space, more room. Creative energy is very much on your side, darling, particularly from the 19th onwards when the Sun heads into this sector and Jupiter and Uranus align to reflect new and oh-so-exciting possibilities.
Being a person who loves and craves knowledge, who has a special skill in being able to impart said knowledge to the world, you'll find that April holds many sparkling possibilities to do exactly this. To learn as well as to teach. This may come unexpectedly, in a way that asks you to rise to the challenge and be bold. To be confident. To trust that you know enough, that you are enough. Because you absolutely are, and you always have been. Be on the lookout for exciting domestic developments, too, especially on the 19th and 20th, when the cosmos has all kinds of yummy tricks up her sleeve.
New material possibilities positively abound this month, particularly around the Eclipse on the 8th. Maybe it’s a case of you being able to showcase some of your more dormant skills, or talents that you’ve only recently acquired. Or perhaps there’s a sparkling new financial beginning unfolding. This will require you to step up and be a little braver, a little more willing to take a risk. Are you up for the challenge? Oh, absolutely, darling. You may have to go back and forth to get things just right, but that’s all part of the learning. Your confidence will soar as a result.
Ready for change? You were born ready, baby. There’s nothing that whets your taste buds quite like the prospect of a new journey. Your packs are packed and you’re ready to go. What’s more, it seems as though you’re perfectly resourced for the adventures that are awaiting you. In other words, you have the money to do the things, and if you don’t, you have the ability to make what you need. It could be useful to connect with the right people who can help you to get where you want to go. With that in mind, go ahead and network as much as you can. Use that silver tongue of yours, honey.
Look. The start of the month feels, well, challenging, to say the least. The pressure is real, and intense. Yet, you’ll find your way through this because from the 2nd already, the energy slows down and gives you a chance to breathe. You’ll be communicating beautifully from the 15th onwards. Owning your truth instead of simmering in the background is so much better for you, babe. The New Moon on the 8th, just a week prior, helps to set the stage for this. Then, the 23rd invites the most luscious day of the year for you, as your ruler, Venus, meets with Jupiter in a sumptuous, hedonistic conjunction.
Oh, darling! Here comes your season! It lands on the 20th as the Sun heads into your sign wearing bells and whistles. That’s not the only news, sweet one, because hot on her heels are the two most benefic planets - Venus and Jupiter, on the 23rd and 25th respectively. Venus brings her usual delightful gifts of connection and love, while Jupiter invites expansion and abundant growth. Jupiter only comes around once every twelve years, sweetheart, so sit up and take note. The world is offering you everything right now. It’s up to you to take the opportunities being given. Don’t get lazy now, honey. Don’t be so overwhelmed by options that you end up going nowhere. Shine!
You’re moving from a social whirlwind of a time into a much quieter, more inward period. A period of reflection, of quietness, of solitariness. Yet, does this mean you’ll be bored and listless? Absolutely not. Not by a long shot. In fact, you might be busier than ever. It’s just that it’s a behind-the-scenes kind of busyness. In fact, the cosmic action suggests that you may be rather inclined to go off traveling, somewhere exciting. Somewhere different. Many more than a few places, in fact. If this is on the cards within the next year, honey, now’s the month to start laying down plans.
On one hand, some of your relationships might be looking a little tricky over the coming few months. If you’ve been experiencing bigger than usual power shifts and transformations, well, that’s par for the cosmic course, honey. You’re in a phase now where it’s ever so important to (re)negotiate the bounds of your connections. Now, onto other relationships. The social connections in your life are great to focus on, especially from the 20th when your ruler, the Sun, heads into this sector. Venus and Jupiter join this luminary, making this a month - no, a year - to remember. Get out there and start chatting like the social butterfly you are.
Oh, thank heavens. Mercury, your ruler, is finally heading from confrontational Aries and into your fellow (calm) earth sign of Taurus. Any conflicts you’ve been navigating around finances cool down now, with peace of mind descending and settling on a journey lying ahead of you. This might be an inner or outer experience - regardless of which it is, the key is that you’re going to be growing, babe. You’re also moving into the most powerful time for professional matters, as Jupiter ignites this area of your chart for the next year, inviting abundant (seriously abundant!) opportunities for exciting change.
It’s the start of a busy, exciting season, what with most of the planets working their way into your fellow air sign of Gemini, the sign that rules expansion, growth, freedom, and development in your personal chart. This only starts unfolding towards the end of the month, so hold your horses, babe. All systems are set to go from the 20th onwards, and by the 25th are really flowing. If you’re considering a big journey - such as studying a long course, going back to University, or getting your degree - now would be the perfect time to start the process. Likewise, if you’re wanting to experience traveling and being a nomad, rest assured that the cosmos is perfectly on your side.
Make a note in your diary for the 8th, honey. That’s when a New Moon in your relationship sign unfolds, lighting up your relationship sector like a Christmas tree. If you’ve been waiting for a sign from the cosmos that love is on its way, well, this is it, darling. Pray to the heavens. Supplicate the gods. If you don’t want to be single, well, this might be your lucky break. The 29th is a particularly delicious moment for all things love and romance, so mark your diary. If you have a special someone, this is a time where you’ll be enjoying their company more than ever.
This hasn’t been mentioned very much, but there’s a delicious Full Moon in your sign on the 23rd, which just so happens a few days after the Sun moves into your relationship sector. There may be choices, darling. A choice between choosing Self over Other. But does it have to be a choice? Can you find a balance, instead? Can you find compromise? This word might be difficult for you to grasp or hold onto, being a fiery, direct kind of person. If there’s no compromise to be found, then perhaps the best thing would be to walk away, dear heart. If there truly is no freedom to grow anymore, then this would be the time to end it.
Get as much rest as you can at the start of this month because from the 20th, things look to be, well, chaotic, to say the least. In the best way possible, of course. New tasks, projects, and even work might come your way from the 23rd onwards, mainly as a result of the creative efforts that you’ve been putting in over the last year or so. It’s all about to pay off, honey. You’ll be busier than you’ve ever been, with the world asking you to wear all kinds of hats and embody all sorts of roles. Variety, as they say, is the spice of life.
It’s almost playtime. Almost. You just have to hold on a little while longer, honey. The beginning of the month is admittedly fraught with complications, but you’ll get through them. Just make sure that you’re not in a situation where you’re allowing the whole world to trigger you. Maintain your balance and integrity. Home life might be tricky, but it’ll all be behind you once your fun sector gets lit up from the 20th onwards. Creative ideas are about to flow in faster than you can keep track of, babe. Your love life should also soon start popping off, with plenty of delightful options coming your way.
Various culminations are on their way to you, particularly in the realm of your home and career situation. Home seems to be very much where the heart is at the moment, with major (and very positive!) changes unfolding in this area from the 25th onwards. So what to do until that moment, darling? Get creative. Connect to your community. Initiate new and exciting personal projects. Think about all the things you’d like to learn in the months to come. Get ready to lay down foundations, maybe in places that you never thought possible or feasible before. There's so much making its way to you, and all you have to do is make (literal) space for what’s to come.
