Welcome back everyone to the long awaited monthly astrology report!! It has been quite a few months since I wrote one of these and it is about time I start up again.. especially with the energy shift!! Truth is, this winter was HARD. The astrological placements were putting people through the ringer and it affected me even though I knew it was coming. With the Neptune/Saturn conjunction (as promised), it completely warped my belief systems. In fact, I felt that energy build since December. I would be watching people that I followed for years and suddenly just realized I am not aligned with them anymore. I was starting to see through lies that before I couldn’t see — even though I truly felt spiritually aligned with them. So while I predicted a belief system crash to take place, I honestly didn’t think it would take my own beliefs down — but I suppose that is the ego for ya! And every ego needs to get a reality check once and awhile.

Catch up:

So why did the Neptune/Saturn conjunction cause such a breakdown of beliefs? Neptune is the planet of oneness, illusions, fantasy based thinking, escapism, and rose coloured glasses. Saturn is the planet of realism, sober/harsh realities, boundaries, work ethic, and the shadow. Both were in Pisces (the sign ruled by Neptune), Saturn was there for 2.5 years, while Neptune was there for about a decade. Since Pisces is ruled by Neptune, those planets being there were under a lot of Neptunian influence, and because Neptune was in its own sign, it was strong!

But with both of them moving into Aries (which forms an ENTIRELY new cycle as it is the start of the zodiac), and this not happening since 1703, it came in hot. Aries is no Pisces, Aries is starting everything fresh, new, and bold. Aries says it as it is, no matter who it hurts or what it destroys in the process. So when both these planets came into conjunction with each other at 0 degrees (literally a confusing new chapter), the rose coloured glasses came off QUICK.

Throw in eclipse season this year happening in Aquarius (where Pluto moved into recently at the end of 2024 right around the US presidential election). We saw the rise of the people demand for peace, with protests happening all over. With the release of the Epstein files, everyone took to technology (Aquarius ruled) to talk about the collective atrocities that are happening all over. As Aquarius rules conspiracy theories, the ultimate conspiracy theory (that there are elites who run a blackmail ring and run under code that essentially run a child trafficking ring) finally came out as truth. Many people struggled with that truth coming out, and are possibly still trying to fight this truth today, but with Neptune now in Aries.. they won’t be able to keep the rose coloured glasses on for long. Because of this, we have seen an uprise in psychotic episodes — which is inevitable when someones entire reality gets turned on its head.

So where are we now?

Well, 2/3 collective planets have officially stationed into their new masculine sign for good (Pluto in Aquarius and Neptune in Aries), Saturn has moved out of Pisces and into the masculine sign Aries), Venus is currently in Aries, and now with today being the Spring Equinox, the Sun is now in Aries. However, we still have feminine water signs being lit up. North Node is still finishing up its cycle in Pisces, Mercury (now direct) is in Pisces, Mars is in Pisces, and Jupiter is still in Cancer. We still have the collective planet Uranus in Taurus. But, all these will be changing soon.

In April, Uranus will be moving into the masculine air sign of Gemini (changing from drastic change in our foundations to our communication, information sources, and familiar communities). In the end of June, Jupiter will move into the masculine fire sign of Leo (changing from expansion through our emotions and comforts to creative and egoic passionate expansion. In July, the North Node will move into the masculine air sign of Aquarius (changing the collectives direction from letting go and surrendering to a higher power and into collective uprising), and

All the longer transit planets will be in masculine signs. This is a HUGE shift. This is why you have been feeling so strange and intense the past year but ESPECIALLY this winter. Like the lava is forming beneath the feet and the wind is picking up around you like a tornado. But, we are still in that liminal space between with this transition, so emotions are running high with planets still finishing up in the feminine signs. With Jupiter in Cancer and Uranus still in Taurus, we are figuring out where we want to be stationed, where will be comfortable for us to grow.. because once that energy hits.. there is no looking back. It will be all about building new. With Jupiter in Cancer and North Node in Pisces, we are getting the last wind of emotion that needs to be dealt with and processed so that we aren’t carrying that energy through into this next cycle. I honestly think this is such an exciting time, as I believe the worst is over, and we are now in that anticipation stage of knowing something new is on the horizon.

The two cards that I have pulled this week with that New Moon in Pisces and Spring Equinox energy in mind, have been the 0 Fool card and the Hanging Man. Both are cards that represent being in a liminal space. The Fool representing that excitement we feel building beneath our feet with no full plan yet formed, while the Hanged Man represents that we are still not quite in the new energy yet and that we need to still surrender to the process of this transition. But what both those cards really point to, is you are now on the path. Wherever you are, wherever you moved to, whatever relationship ended, whatever career shift you made during the last final months of chaos we went through in Winter, has put you on the path of where you need to be right now. With that hanged man, stop second guessing (in fact you are likely phasing out that second guessing energy yourself already), and just be patient that now things will start to move forward.

Aries Season

I am going to keep these shorter now, as I have gone into GREAT detail in my previous astrology reports on the symbolism and what to expect in each astrological “season”. If you are new to these monthly astrological reports, check out my last years Aries season post to get more detail on the symbolism of Aries.

However, as a quick refresher, Aries is the birth of the new year. The first sign that starts off the zodiac, the baby of the zodiac. It comes it HOT, with all that stagnant energy that leaves us all antsy and frustrated with the end of winter, we finally want to spring forward with all our energy. During this month, passions run high (but also impulsive action). You no longer hold back what you want to say, what you want to do, or where you want to go. You just do it. With the longer days and the warming weather, you get a surge of energy that can honestly make you feel a bit unstable — but happy nonetheless. The key with this month is to not burn out right at the beginning. Aries wants to spring at the beginning of the race, but then has no follow through to finish it because they are burnt out. Don’t be like that. Use this energy as momentum to get the projects started, but be very sure to tend to your adrenals (cortisol regulation), drink plenty of fluids, and get plenty of exercise to balance out that intensity. Be careful with your money at this time, as it is common to just get too excited and blow it all on gardening tools, housing renovations, or on any other project materials you have been wanting to start. Be careful with those around you, because you’ll likely have less patience and empathy to support those who are “slowing you down”. You will have more of a selfish mindset this month, which is okay! Just make sure to check back in with those around you to make sure you aren’t crushing other peoples toes to get to where you want to be. Arguments may be heightened this month, but to be followed by passionate connection to follow. Libido could feel VERY high at this time. Spring in general is a natural fertility time in nature, so many may experience a surge in sexual activity. Remember, with Saturn now being in Aries, we want to make Saturn happy (ALWAYS make Saturn happy… or you will feel the wrath). To make Saturn happy, think about longevity rather than impulsivity. This will be hard, because Aries is all about short term rather than long term. Saturn here is a gift, because it is helping us use our Aries energy to push us in doing the projects that will serve us in the long term (it wants us to continue and follow through). To do that, we need to spare our energy strategically (aka FINISH THE PROJECTS).

The Transits

March 22: Neptune cazimi with Sun in Aries

• Things will feel exceptionally good. Intuitive action will be easy to tune into, with an ability to dream the new reality you want to build. Be sure not to lose yourself in the dream or be too idealistic, however, if you are someone who is rigid or have been stuck in a negative thought pattern about the future, this could be a time to allow yourself to dream about what is could be and the actions it will take to get there.

March 25: Saturn cazimi with Sun in Aries 

• This transit actually is very supportive to be happening right after the Neptune cazimi with the Sun, as it will ground our dreams into reality. If some of the pioneering visions we had 3 days before were too dreamy or unrealistic, Saturn will ground it back to figuring out the tangible steps in how to get where we want to be. It won’t feel as exciting or expansive, but it will feel grounding and more stable. You will be presented with the work that will need to be put in.

March 28th: Saturn in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius

• We will see how the current collapse of society is solidifying into the growth of a new future. Realizing there is no going backwards, the crumble has happened and now we are on the build. News headlines may show someone or even groups getting karma for past deceits, but in a way that helps move the collective forward.

April 12: Mars conjunct Neptune in Aries

• Delusions could be higher at this time lol. Mars is Aries ruling planet, and it is being softened by the compassionate and soft/boundaryless planet of Neptune. Be careful not to be impulsive into your actions at this time as things may not be fully what they seem. You may get strong spiritual insight through active meditation at this time.. like going for a long run, or intense hot yoga practise.

April 16: Chiron cazimi with Sun in Aries

• We come face to face with how we have been healing our sense of self worth and independence. Chiron has been in Aries for many years, so this has been a theme for everyone.. perhaps why we see so much talk about healing co-dependency and learning how to become interdependent. How have you been standing up for yourself? How have you been taking action into living the life you want to live? Or, how have you been healing your anger issues? How have you been learning how to express your anger in ways that is healing for you and those around you?

April 19th+20th: Mars conjunct Saturn in Aries and Mercury conjunct Saturn and Mars the next day

• Now is the time you will be getting a mental download on what actions need to take place in order to build the life you want. Depending on which house this lands in on your natal birth chart, this is the area you need to put the energy into but in a stable and lasting way. Example: if this lands in your 6th house, you will be hit with a message on how to rebirth and rebuild your routine, work habits, health hygiene, and service to others. If this lands in your 10th house, you will get insights on how to rebuild the career you want that will make you independent and in charge. This is a turning point!! This will be the first transit of Mars hitting Saturn with Mercury right there, you will literally feel how you are in a new chapter — so use it wisely.

Health and Wellness Advice.

Aries rules the head, blood, and adrenals (cortisol regulation) in medical astrology. Therefore, we are more prone to issues in this area this month. If you have built up anger/stress that isn’t getting released, you may experience feelings of burnout or migraines. Your inflammation may flare up through excess heat and could manifest as skin rashes or heartburn.

Health recommendations: 

• EXERCISE! Where last month was all about gentle exercise like walking, light yoga/stretching, or swimming. This month it is time to really move your body. You are going to get a surge of excitement and energy and your body will be seeking release! Running, cardio, hot yoga, boxing, or even an increase in sexual activity can help your body release this intensity so that it doesn’t manifest through adverse health reactions.
• Cooling and bitter flavours are your friend! EAT YOUR GREENS! Kale, dandelion greens, cleavers (if they grow around you), nettle leaves, ect, these are cooling and bitter to your system. This helps to cool down internal heat (Aries is a strong fire sign) and the bitter receptors in your mouth help facilitate a downward motion helping to ground excited states.
• Get those projects started. This will ultimately help your health because you are directing the energy provided to move forward with something you may have been stressing about. Get out and get it done and that will release the energy.
• Hydration!!! Drink LOTS of water. Your body will need it as you will be moving a lot more.
• Herbs I recommend: Borage (cooling and an adrenal tonic), nettle leaf (blood purifier, high in iron and minerals, supports adrenal health), lemon balm (cooling and reduces over-excitement).

That is it folks! So happy to be writing these again.. and for myself, I feel this energy! It was hard to feel connected to astrology the past couple months as I was stewing in my own intense energy. But damn, I feel this shift. As a stellium Aquarius, I for one am happy to be moving out of all the emotional inward feminine energy we have experienced and ready for outward expansion and momentum.

Stay tuned for my public figure astrology chart reading for Aries season — to be released next week.
