Astrology forecast 🌠
April 5 | Your creativity and personal relationships will feel a bit lighter…
Venus moves into Aries
You’ll notice a big internal shift today. Whether is about the art project you’ve been working on, your relationship with your spouse, or how you’re feeling regarding your kids. You’ll gain a deeper sense of relaxation on these subjects and the vibe won’t feel so heavy. Less anxiety about “not doing enough” and swinging to the other side of “I can accomplish anything.”
There are ways to constructively work with this cosmic energy and ways to let it consume you. The difference will be noticing what feelings come up, and how you work with them. The stars advise that in the first few days following this transit - speak your intentions out into existence. Have those conversations you’ve been putting off with your spouse. Tell someone that you’re starting a new painting to keep yourself accountable. Make actionable change constructive and methodical. You’ll want to only “act when the time is right” but the truth is, there’s no real way to know.
This transit’s theme is consistency. It’s the constant current of energy that’s flowing forward and a regular and expected pace. You’ll get the most out of Venus in Aries if you’re passionate about self-expression and finding what lights that creative spark in your soul. If you fall off the path of sensuality finding what feels good - you’ll pay the repercussions. Don’t forget how important speaking your truth is in all of this too. If you feel societal pressure to work out at the gym, but it’s crushing you mentally - maybe explore something like yoga or pilates. Above all else, make sure you’re choosing yourself before anything else.
Predictability over impulse.
April 8 | Themes of overthinking and overarching…
Total solar eclipse in Aries
If you need a refresher on eclipses, take a peek at last week’s newsletter. This solar eclipse is like a new moon but amplified exponentially. You know that Venus just moved into Aries, but now we have the Moon, Chiron, and Mercury (who’s retrograde) all sharing space in an already tight space. But, all of these planets and placements give us a peek of what’s to come of the day, and the days following the eclipse.
“Folks that have planets or placements on or near 19° of Aries will be the most impacted, followed by any tight aspects. Folks with cardinal sign (Cancer, Aries, Libra and Capricorn) placements will want to pay attention to their charts too.”
If you’ve been trying to keep something in, and biting your tongue for the sake of others - there’s a good chance it’ll come to the surface. Try to mitigate any tough conversations this day, and diffuse what you can in a safe way. Emotions will be tense and the ego will be easily impacted.
Words hold more power than usual today, too. Avoid tense conversations in meetings, be extra kind to your partner, and most importantly make sure you’re kind in your self-talk. The last thing you’ll want is to make the wrong kind of lasting impression or open up a whole can of icky worms. Plus, if you’re talking negatively to yourself, how does that set the stage for the rest of your daily interactions?
This is the time to dive into self-expression in a safe container. Get weird with your art form, and don’t post it on social media. Experiment with your writing. Try a different form of meditation this morning. Wear that red dress that you’ve been dying for an excuse to wear. Seize the moment, but do so in a sheltered way if that makes sense. There’s no reason to hold on to any expectations, comments, or social implications.
Make sure you’re leading today with grace and a soothing nature - because the general vibe might feel a little off in the days leading up to the eclipse and shortly after. Don’t take anything too personal.
Tackle this transit with a radical sense of acceptance and compassion because odds are you’ll need it.
Be aware that your mind is playing out scenarios that might hold little truth.
If you need some help understanding how the transits, especially eclipse season, will affect your day-to-day life, I’m here to help! A natal chart reading is especially helpful for folks who have never had an astrological reading and is the best place to start. Astrology has made my life make sense, and I’m here to offer that same sense of understanding and peace. Using Astrological knowledge in your everyday life can bring a sense of clarity and foresight like nothing else.
Weekly favs 💚
On repeat 🎵 I don’t think I’ve ever shared A State Of Trance song here before, which is shocking. I’ve been listening to this weekly progressive trance music show for over 10 years. This song instantly got added to my favorites.
Meal prep 🥑 Looking to add more greens to your diet, this recipe is an easy way to without cutting on flavor! This lentil and spinach sauce recipe is perfect for folks unsure about lentils or even more curry-centric dishes. It’s beautiful, bright, and bursting with flavor - everything you could ever ask for!
On my nightstand 📚 “Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives” has been on my list for a while. I just started it over the weekend, and I’m enjoying it so far! I’ll keep you updated though! If you’re a bookworm, let’s connect on my Goodreads account.

Housekeeping | Future New Moon Circles
If you saw on the Interstellar Harmony social media recently, there’s no New Moon circle this week - and that’s for two reasons.
The first is the energy of the eclipse is always something that messes with me more than others. I just don’t have the spoons to host an event.
The second is a change in structure. I’ll give a heads-up since we’re all friends here - but the next New Moon Circle (and ones following it) will have an entirely different structure. I know change can be scary, but I promise you it’ll be even better than before.
We’ll be hosting the New Moon Circle virtually moving forward. This is what I call a newsletter exclusive, and not common knowledge to folks outside of this subscription. The goal is to make this offering more accessible for folks not in the WNC area and ramp up the value of this meeting of the minds. Folks that attended in-person will have special discount codes, just because we love y’all so much!
So keep your eyes peeled for the big announcement and everything that’ll be offered soon! That’s where you’ll find the nitty-gritty details, we have lots of surprises in store!
What’s in my cup ☕
Alright, so remember when I said I wasn’t into coffee? I made a liar out of myself. I finally found a coffee that didn’t give me the jitters. Its effects are even better when I pair it with l-theanine; think crisp focus without any anxiety. Of course, it’s all about moderation, but it’s nice to finally find a coffee that doesn’t make me feel like I need to unzip my skin. Bonus points since it’s fair trade and organic, something really important to me especially if I’m integrating it into my weekly consumption.
Here’s the coffee I mentioned, paired with the amino acid l-theanine it’s a real treat for my mentation and focus!
