My Gilded Nostalgia

✨Monday, April 7th: Venus Rx conjunct Saturn, Venus Rx sextile Uranus, Mercury stations Direct

We most commonly associate Venus with love but this is also the planet of value, our little pleasures, and the things that we buy. Today, innovative ideas could prompt a reevaluation of these topics —and it’s time to get serious about them. What structures need to be in place for you to get more value out of life?

With Mercury stationing direct on this same day, remember that this is still our training wheel period. For the next few weeks, it is your time to really integrate your lessons learned during the retrograde.

✨Tuesday, April 8th: Mars trine North Node

This is a great day for putting energy into what you intuitively feel the most magnetized to, aiming to make those goals more secure.

✨Saturday, April 12th: Sun conjunct Chiron, Full Moon in Libra, Venus stations Direct

What a full moon this will be! The ruling planet of this moon stations direct, passionately inspired. Then we have Chiron, the wounded healer and teacher, playing a role in this story. This lunation is a culmination of lessons learned within partnership and how we balance self vs. other. Chiron in Aries with the Sun highlights wounded lessons to learn surrounding our sense of independence, with the moon reflecting this within our partnerships. We learned many lessons in love, value, and harmony while Venus was retrograde. This lunation shows that there is power in vulnerability and it’s time to step out of the protective shell of hyper-independence. Harmony is what moves us forward.

✨Wednesday, April 2nd: Venus conjunct Node

We saw this same aspect two months ago on February 3rd. Now, the retrograde Venus has retraced it’s steps back to meet with the North Node. The node is a magnetizer, the direction we are called to move toward even when it feels unfamiliar. Venus comes in to show us the value of these Piscean attributes —intuitive creation, spirituality, compassion, unconditional love. The retrograde says, “let’s revisit something about this that we initially moved past.”

✨Friday, April 4th: Saturn sextiles Uranus, Mars sextiles Uranus & trines Saturn

Get. Shit. Done. This is a day of needing to respond to unexpected events —or maybe being granted unexpected resources that allow you to get things done. You intuitively know what you need to do. Be cautious on this day when it comes to taking action from a place of emotional turbulence. Make sure there are structures in place that make you feel safe.

✨Sunday, April 6th: Venus trine Mars, Sun sextile Jupiter, Moon opposite Pluto

Having a strong sense of self is critical when life feels uncertain, and it’s your responsibility to nurture that sense of self. This is a deeply passionate day and something within demands to be expressed, whether it’s through creative alchemy, having a good time among friends, or embracing your inner leader.

✨Monday, March 24th: Sun conjunct Mercury Retrograde (Rx)

This Mercury retrograde period brings a lot of re-evaluations regarding the ideas we want to bring to life, potentially even old ideas that we previously let fall to the wayside. The sun meets up with Mercury, revitalizing our minds with a fresh burst of solar power. Old concepts and conversations can now be looked at from a fresh new perspective.

✨Tuesday, March 25th: Mercury Rx sextile Pluto

As Mercury continues retracing its steps, it goes back to this aspect we last experienced on March 5th. After this enlightenment from yesterday, Pluto adds some focus-power to our minds. We’ll be wanting to get to the root of things today.

✨Thursday, March 27th: Venus Rx enters Pisces & Venus conjunct Neptune

With Venus in Aries, love is a battlefield. Now, Venus retraces its steps back into Pisces, where love becomes more of a fairytale —especially with Neptune coming into play. This feels like the make-up period after a fight with someone you love, when things can once again feel dreamy and cuddly. This is a great time to engage your sense of fantasy, especially when it comes to artistry.

✨Saturday, March 29th: Solar Eclipse in Aries & Mercury Rx enters Pisces

This day marks the last of the eclipses in the Aries/Libra cycle. Since 2023, we have been on a collective journey learning lessons about self vs. other, autonomy vs. dependence, and self-assertion vs. people pleasing. This has been a time of mastering the art of balancing our authentic selves within our interpersonal relationships. Solar eclipses are super-charged new moons to set us on new paths. It’s time to take all of these relational lessons into our next chapter.

Mercury retrograde entering Pisces this same day grants a wonderful opportunity for processing —maybe even mentally escaping— any of the eclipse craziness we’ve experienced this month. This will be a good day for reflecting and reconnecting to your oneness within.

✨Sunday, March 30th: Neptune enters Aries

We are experiencing important outer planet ingresses this year that mark the start of a new era. Neptune —the planet of dreams, illusion, and confusion— spends around 14 years in one sign, and for the last 14 years it was lost swimming with the fish. Today, it enters the sign of the pioneer, the warrior, and leader. The art of astrological prediction requires looking at the past in order to look to the future. The last time Neptune was in Aries was from 1861 - 1875, when we saw:

✨The American Civil War

✨The abolition of slavery in America

✨The invention of dynamite

✨Completion of the first transcontinental railroad

✨The start of the 2nd Industrial Revolution

This is the start of a deeper story unfolding when it comes to the illusion of leadership, and the illusion of the self-made person. This also speaks to the dream of striking out on one’s own in pursuit of freedom and autonomy. These next 8 months will be a taste of what’s to come for the next 14 years, as Neptune makes one final dip into the waters of Pisces later this year.

✨Monday, March 17th: Sun conjunct North Node

The eclipse really brought to light what needs to be released. Now, a spotlight shines on where you can move toward after making that release. What are you feeling magnetized to right now? You might feel a bit tentative to dip your toes in, but the water is just fine.

✨Wednesday, March 19th: Sun conjunct Neptune

Like headlights shining in the fog, you still might not be able to see very much but at least you can see better. So focus on the reality of what’s right in front of you.

✨Thursday, March 20th: Sun enters Aries

Happy astrological New Year! The sun is back to the beginning of the zodiac wheel and shines its light on a springy fresh start after our winter hibernation. We’ll be feeling revitalized and ready for the year ahead. Find your joy and go for it without hesitation!

✨Sunday, March 23rd: Sun conjunct Venus

This is such an important chapter in our Venus retrograde story. Venus enters the heart of the Sun, to come out on the other side empowered and revitalized. Venus retrograde brings many reflections in matters of love and value, and the Sun shines it’s light over Venus for the ultimate “a-ha!” moment.
