• 0:02
  hello everyone and welcome back to the astrology for beginners
• 0:06
  podcast i'm your
• 0:08
  host stephanie kate boucher and i am so glad you're here this
• 0:12
  is the podcast for
• 0:13
  you if you've ever been curious about astrology if you've
• 0:17
  wanted to understand your
• 0:18
  natal chart or make sense of what's happening in the sky but
• 0:21
  maybe it's felt
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: overwhelming complicated or hard to know where to begin
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: My goal here is to break things down in a way that's clear,
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: grounded,
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: and completely usable in real life.
• 0:34
  So that over time,
• 0:35
  you begin to understand your own chart and the language of the
• 0:38
  stars.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you so much for being here and sharing your time with me.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, astrology friends.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's been a while, more than a while, actually.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: It was a rather long break, in fact.
• 0:54
  This long break has really been a time of stepping back and
• 0:59
  trimming some things
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: back in my life,
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: simplifying,
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: reflecting,
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: and letting things evolve a little bit behind the scenes.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: And honestly, this recent eclipse season has
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: has really created some new space for me that I haven't had in a while.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: So now,
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: coming back at the start of Aries season,
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know,
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: it feels perfect,
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: I think,
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: because Aries season is about beginnings.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: And in this case,
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: this particular year,
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: it's about beginnings that come after something has shifted.
• 1:35
  I did a moon circle earlier this week where I talked about
• 1:38
  endings and beginnings
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: and how those two things,
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: they're really the same moment,
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: right?
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: They always happen together at the same time.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: And we just had this eclipse season, this crazy eclipse season.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: So many of us felt that in such profound ways.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: I was one of them.
• 1:56
  I had some big shifts take place,
• 1:58
  mostly in my professional life,
• 1:59
  because that's where a
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: But they were shifts that I think,
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: in fact,
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: are pretty good,
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: even if they felt jolting right in the beginning.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: You know, that's how it goes sometimes.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: We've all been there.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: But we've had this tumultuous eclipse season.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: Endings occurred.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: And that means that we also get to have beginnings.
• 2:20
  So this feels like a fantastic and very natural point to return
• 2:26
  and reconnect with
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: you all and start again.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: I want to use this episode to give us all the lay of the land,
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: to orient ourselves because there's been so much happening.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: I think that would be a good use of our time.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what this episode is going to be.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: Not all episodes going forward will be forecasting episodes.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: I like the teaching episodes so much, so I'll be doing a lot of those.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: But I do just want to ground us a bit in what's coming up.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: And with that, welcome to Aries season.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: We are officially at the beginning of a new astrological year.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Starting today,
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: if you're listening to this on Friday,
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: March 20th,
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: we are going into zero degrees Aries,
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: the Aries point.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: And
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: I want you to get a little reflective for just a moment.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: Reflect on that just for a moment.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: We still have a lot of planets in Pisces,
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: so you can still use some of that reflection energy,
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: but just feel it.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: Feel what's shifting.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: This energy is not subtle energy.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: Aries season is not going to be subtle.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: This is the cardinal fire sign.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: This is about initiation.
• 3:45
  This is movement and forward motion after what has likely felt
• 3:51
  like a long,
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: emotional,
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: and at times confusing Pisces season.
• 3:58
  Especially with,
• 4:00
  you know,
• 4:00
  eclipse energy still kind of echoing in the background.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: The eclipse portal closed with that last new moon this week.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: But, you know, there's still some fallout floating around.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: But what's so interesting about this particular Aries season,
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: as opposed to any other Aries season...
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: is that it doesn't really start clean.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: Is that how I want to say it?
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: I guess so.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: I guess that's a word I can use here.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: It starts in the middle of a transition.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: We've been in this state of transition for weeks.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: We're right between two chapters of the year and chapters in our lives.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: So let's talk about what's happening.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: Okay,
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: on the very same day that the sun enters Aries on March 20th,
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: okay,
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: later that day,
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: that's today if you're listening today,
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Mercury stations direct in Pisces,
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: right on the north node at eight degrees.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: So before we go rushing forward and
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: Aries does want you to rush.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: It likes to rush.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: It wants to charge the field, sword in hand.
• 5:09
  There's something here about clarity returning,
• 5:13
  about something finally clicking.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: So conversations,
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: realizations,
• 5:22
  decisions that may have felt too foggy to make over the last
• 5:26
  few weeks may actually
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: begin to make sense to you more now.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: And because this is tied to the North Node,
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: it's not just,
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: a random moment of clarity.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's directing you somewhere or to something.
• 5:42
  So right out of the gate,
• 5:43
  Aries season is asking you to move forward,
• 5:47
  but not blindly,
• 5:48
  okay?
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: We don't want to just charge ahead without intention.
• 5:52
  We want to move forward with awareness of what has just been
• 5:55
  revealed to us over
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: these last several weeks,
• 5:59
  So that before you go charging ahead,
• 6:02
  you have a chance to just get quiet,
• 6:04
  right?
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: We want to get quiet.
• 6:06
  And we still have some new moon energy available for that
• 6:09
  because that was just
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: like a couple of days ago or less than two,
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: actually.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: So the very next day,
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: right,
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: the very next day after the spring equinox and,
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: the sun hitting the Aries point,
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: right,
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: we get this lovely trine between Mars and Jupiter.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: Now Mars is still in Pisces.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: Jupiter is in Cancer.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: This is very supportive water energy.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: This is just, I love that this is happening now.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's a few things.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: First,
• 6:44
  it should make it much easier to align our emotions with our
• 6:49
  actions in a really
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: positive way for the good,
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: right?
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: But it also creates conditions for boosting our energy.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: Jupiter is giving a boost to Mars's better qualities, right?
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: So more energy,
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: more passion,
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: enthusiasm,
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: drive,
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: courage,
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: a willingness to go out there on a limb,
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: But Jupiter also shares its wisdom with Mars.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Jupiter is wise, right?
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: So again, this isn't about reckless action or thoughtless action.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: This is well-considered aligned action.
• 7:27
  And it's really going to help us all get moving again after
• 7:31
  what feels like
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: somewhat of a hibernation.
• 7:37
  This is the perfect transit for spring,
• 7:40
  perfect for Aries season,
• 7:42
  perfect post-eclipse season.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: And I think things should begin to start to flow more easily now.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: So if something clicked for you around,
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: the new moon or shortly after this week,
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: March 21st may feel like,
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: okay,
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: I can do something with this,
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: right?
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: There's flow here.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: There's some support.
• 8:07
  Then we move into March 22nd,
• 8:10
  and this is where things get really interesting.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: We have a Neptune Kazemi at one degree Aries.
• 8:18
  That's a really fancy word for when a planet is in an exact
• 8:22
  perfect conjunction
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: with the sun,
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: Kazemi.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: So this is going to be a moment where Neptune,
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: the planet of dreams,
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: intuition,
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: illusions,
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: or disillusion,
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: where Neptune is infused directly with the sun's clarity.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: You know, now Neptune typically doesn't make things very clear.
• 8:43
  It tends to kind of muddy things,
• 8:46
  but not so much when it's paired up with the sun.
• 8:50
  So we get to actually have this unique moment where we can see
• 8:55
  some of these things
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: that Neptune keeps kind of hidden most of the time.
• 9:02
  It's like being able to look behind the curtain and see all of
• 9:05
  the mystical secrets,
• 9:07
  right?
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this is happening in Aries.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: So what we're likely getting to see is a new vision of ourselves.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: This is like the new you.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's a glimpse of who you want to be now in this next chapter.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: Who do you want to become?
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: What are your highest ideals?
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: Now, you may not get a fully formed 3D vision of this exactly.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: We're still talking about Neptune.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: Don't expect that.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: But you'll get a spark,
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: a glimpse,
• 9:38
  a kind of intuitive download around who you are becoming or who
• 9:44
  you are ready to
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: be.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: And later that day, there's really a lot happening at the end of March.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: Mercury meets the north node again,
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: and this time it's going in forward motion because remember,
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: it will be done retrograding,
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: the same day that the sun goes into Aries,
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: and it's reinforcing that same message.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: The universe really, really wants to make sure we get it here.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: So I would say pay attention to what's coming through around this time.
• 10:15
  This is the weekend of,
• 10:17
  you know,
• 10:18
  March 21st,
• 10:19
  22nd,
• 10:19
  maybe Monday,
• 10:20
  Tuesday.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: The ideas you have,
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: the conversations you have,
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: the realizations you have,
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: anything that catches your attention means something now.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, a few days later, on March 25th, we have a Saturn Kazemi.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, another Kazemi, also in Aries.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: And things start to take shape even more here.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: If Neptune is the vision, Saturn is the structure.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: Saturn builds things.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: It brings the abstract into real physical reality.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: This is where we start asking,
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: what do I actually do with this new vision?
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: What am I actually willing to commit to?
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: What am I building now?
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: So this is really productive energy.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: I love it, actually.
• 11:09
  And then on March 28th,
• 11:10
  Saturn goes on to form a sextile to Pluto,
• 11:14
  which is an Aquarius.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: I think this is pretty powerful.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: This feels like we can make really important, successful
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: long-term change, sustainable change.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: Pluto is creating the change.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: Saturn is building what's needed to sustain it for the long haul.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: Saturn likes to build things that last a long time.
• 11:40
  So these are the types of changes that actually alter or can
• 11:45
  alter the trajectory
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: of your life over time.
• 11:50
  So the first part of Aries season isn't just about going,
• 11:53
  going,
• 11:54
  going nonstop.
• 11:55
  It's about putting in effort to build something very
• 12:00
  intentional and doing it well,
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: making sure it lasts.
• 12:05
  Now,
• 12:05
  as we move forward into the end of March,
• 12:08
  on the 30th,
• 12:09
  Venus enters Taurus,
• 12:10
  her home sign.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: Venus rules Taurus.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: She is at her best here.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: This may, in fact, feel so nice.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: After having her in Aries for a few weeks,
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: which is a place she doesn't particularly like to visit,
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: she doesn't feel like herself here.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's a Mars-ruled sign.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's pushier than she likes.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's aggressive.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: And,
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: Venus just wants softness and beauty,
• 12:38
  and she wants to enjoy herself and have access to the finer
• 12:42
  things in life.
• 12:43
  And in Aries,
• 12:44
  that's difficult for her to do,
• 12:46
  so she has to function differently there.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: So her going into her lush,
• 12:50
  beautiful home of Taurus that's full of nice things that she
• 12:54
  really likes,
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: and she can relax and indulge and enjoy life.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: This is so grounding.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: Taurus is a very stable sign also.
• 13:03
  And so this feels like it brings down the chaos of things in a
• 13:08
  pretty significant way.
• 13:10
  Don't be surprised if Venus moving into this sign starts to
• 13:14
  bring more Taurus
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: themes into your life too.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: Things like finances, finances,
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: value, self-worth.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: You might prioritize things in your life a little differently now.
• 13:25
  It's about enjoyment of the body,
• 13:26
  being in your body more,
• 13:28
  taking pleasure from life.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: The sign likes to enjoy life.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: And importantly,
• 13:35
  it slows things down just enough to make the forward movement
• 13:40
  or allow us to make
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: the forward movement that you'll be working on making sustainable.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: Then we hit the Libra full moon on April 1st.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: Libra is also a Venus-ruled sign, by the way.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: Venus has two big mansions in the sky.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: She gets a spring home and a fall home.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: But this full moon is, I think, a relational checkpoint.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: Libra focuses a lot on Venus's relational qualities,
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: things like getting along and being in harmony with other people.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: And full moons are always oppositions between the sun and the moon.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: So we're on the Aries-Libra axis with this one this month.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_00: Aries is about self.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: Libra is about others.
• 14:26
  So something here comes into our awareness around balance or
• 14:31
  maybe an imbalance in
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: your relationships.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: And the full moon illuminates things.
• 14:37
  You know,
• 14:37
  they don't necessarily resolve things,
• 14:39
  but they show you what's there.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: They show you what's true.
• 14:43
  So this might want to show you maybe where you're over giving,
• 14:48
  over compromising.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_00: Those are all, you know, very Libra things to do.
• 14:53
  Or on the opposite side,
• 14:54
  where you may need to stand more firmly in yourself.
• 14:58
  We always get those lessons about balancing the self and the
• 15:02
  other when we talk
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: about the Aries-Libra axis.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: Now, as we move deeper into April, the energy intensifies a bit.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: Again, on April 9th, Mars enters Aries.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: And this is its home sign.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: This is a big shift.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: Mars is the ruler of Aries.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: So now we have both the sun and Mars in Aries.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: And this is a lot of fire energy.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: This is drive, motivation, courage, all the Mars things.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: right?
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_00: But also impatience, possibly aggression if we're not careful for some.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: But it's really, really great for getting things done.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's really productive energy.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: And just a few days later on the 12th, Mars conjuncts Neptune.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: This one's a little trickier,
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_00: I have to say,
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_00: because Mars wants to act and Neptune dissolves clarity.
• 16:00
  So this might make people a little unrealistic at times,
• 16:07
  make our thinking a little unrealistic.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: The motives for our actions can feel less clear to us.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_00: they might be a little less based in logic.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_00: And this transit could lead to some mixed signals.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: It could lead to a little passive aggressiveness even.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: But on the flip side,
• 16:27
  if you want to direct the energy of this transit toward
• 16:31
  something Neptunian in
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: nature,
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: That could go very, very well.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: So think about acting with compassion during this time,
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: maybe doing some service work of some kind,
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: or just,
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_00: helping someone out with something,
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: doing some volunteer work,
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: doing spiritual work,
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_00: working on spiritual projects or endeavors.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: It could also be a really good time to do something creative or
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_00: or something related to like beauty or glamour.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: These are all really Neptunian things.
• 17:04
  So if you want to apply the Mars drive and the Mars action to
• 17:10
  Neptunian things,
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_00: it's a time when this could go really well.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: Fortunately,
• 17:15
  we then get a really supportive transit on April 13th when
• 17:19
  Venus forms a sextile to
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: Jupiter.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: This is about ease.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_00: This transit can provide more support in our relationships.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_00: It can provide more support in our finances.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_00: It can lead to positive emotional connections with other people.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: So if something felt a little murky,
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_00: Earlier in the week with that Mars-Neptune conjunction,
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: this can help smooth things out afterward.
• 17:48
  Now,
• 17:49
  as we move toward the end of Aries season,
• 17:52
  we do have two fairly significant Aries events.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_00: One is on April 16th when there's a Chiron Kazemi.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: I know this is a lot of Kazemis in a short span of time,
• 18:03
  but that's because there's so much going on in the sign of
• 18:06
  Aries at the moment.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_00: This is a moment of healing around our identity.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: Chiron and Aries deals with wounds and selfhood,
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_00: feeling like you can't be,
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 18:17
  fully yourself or that it's not safe to assert yourself or be
• 18:21
  who you are or go get
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_00: what you really want out of life.
• 18:26
  So this Kazemi can bring a lot of insight around where you
• 18:31
  might be afraid to be
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: yourself or where maybe you're holding back in some way.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: Then on April 17th, we have the Aries new moon.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: Make no mistake about it, this is a wonderful reset.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: This is the true new beginning of this next chapter.
• 18:48
  And I want to say this clearly,
• 18:50
  even though Aries season starts taking shape weeks earlier,
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_00: So this,
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: this new moon is,
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: I think,
• 18:58
  I think this is where you're really going to start to see
• 19:01
  things take shape,
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: right?
• 19:02
  All of that forward motion and momentum that started before at
• 19:07
  the beginning of
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: Aries season may become more visible in a bigger way after this new moon.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's an activation point.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to talk more about this new moon later.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm actually doing a monthly gathering for each new moon now,
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: monthly,
• 19:25
  where I discuss the specific astrology around the new moon and
• 19:29
  that particular
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_00: lunar cycle.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_00: I talk about where it falls in your chart.
• 19:34
  And then I help you work with the nervous system to discover
• 19:38
  which new moon
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: intentions are going to work best for you at that particular time.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: so that you can actually sustain them throughout the entire lunar cycle.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: If you're interested in participating in that,
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_00: you can register each month through my stand store.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: The link is in the show notes or through tendingthesacred.org.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: OK,
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: so finally,
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: we close out Aries season with Mars conjuncting Saturn on April 19th,
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: just as we're about to move into Taurus season.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: Now,
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_00: this is the beginning of a larger conjunction between Mars,
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: Mercury and Saturn that we will be felt over a few days.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll be talking more about that as we approach Taurus season.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: For now,
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: though,
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: I'll just say that this is going to be about taking disciplined actions,
• 20:29
  being very strategic about making decisions and moving forward
• 20:34
  on those decisions
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_00: with discipline.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_00: This is a real go-getter energy.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: These are really strong planets that are involved in this transit, but...
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_00: you're going to be feeling like very calculated about what you're doing.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_00: Mars wants to go and go now.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: Saturn kind of says, hold on, wait, is this the best way to do it?
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_00: So this can feel a bit of like a bit of frustration,
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_00: or it can just feel like discipline,
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_00: depending on how you decide to look at it.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_00: So we might refine things a bit here.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_00: Overall,
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_00: it's not light energy,
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_00: but again,
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_00: it's very useful for building a new future that lasts.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_00: You know, this Aries season isn't simply about bold new beginnings.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's about
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: well thought out beginnings.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's about getting clear,
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_00: letting a new vision come forth,
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_00: and it's about building a structure around it so that everything holds.
• 21:34
  This is an active choosing phase and it just might change your
• 21:40
  life in ways that
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_00: you're ultimately pretty happy about.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_00: All right, let's get into how this might show up for you personally.
• 21:49
  Let's shift out of what's happening in the sky and into what
• 21:54
  this might actually
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_00: look like in your life,
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_00: because this is where astrology becomes useful for us.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: Before Aries season started, we had this crazy eclipse energy.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_00: We had a Pisces stellium.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_00: We had Mercury retrograde and just lots and lots of internal processing.
• 22:11
  So if you're trying to discern where you're going next,
• 22:15
  I would first ask these three questions.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_00: One, what has already ended or completed in my life?
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_00: Two, what has become more clear to me than it was before?
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_00: And three, what has already started to emerge or change?
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 22:38
  I want you to pay attention to what feels energizing to you and
• 22:44
  like not just urgent.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_00: But energizing, you know, some things we do rob us of energy.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: Other things make us feel more energetic.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_00: And there's a big difference between energizing and urgent, right?
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_00: When you feel truly energized,
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_00: like your tank is filling up or you feel like you're drained,
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_00: right?
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_00: This is a big signal that your body is giving you.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_00: Pay attention to your energy levels.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_00: It says a lot, always, always.
• 23:13
  Energy,
• 23:15
  that feeling of being filled up,
• 23:17
  that comes from alignment,
• 23:19
  right?
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not the same as urgency.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_00: Urgency can feel a little like energy,
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_00: but urgency comes from anxiety,
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_00: while energy comes from purpose.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: That's what is real for you.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_00: That's what's true.
• 23:34
  That Mars-Jupiter trine early on in the Aries season and then
• 23:39
  Venus moving into
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_00: Taurus suggests that when something is right for you,
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_00: your body will actually support it.
• 23:48
  It won't feel like you're,
• 23:49
  you know,
• 23:50
  just pushing a boulder up the side of a mountain.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_00: So if something feels forced in the coming weeks, I would question it.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_00: Next,
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_00: be mindful around mid-April,
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_00: that Mars-Neptune conjunction can kind of feel like,
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_00: I think this is right, but I'm not totally sure.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_00: This is a little confusing, and that's okay.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need perfect clarity in that moment,
• 24:17
  but you do want to stay aware of projecting onto people or onto
• 24:22
  situations.
• 24:24
  You want to be careful of making assumptions or taking action
• 24:28
  prematurely on
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_00: something that perhaps hasn't fully landed yet.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_00: So just give things a little space to breathe.
• 24:36
  And then as we move toward the Aries new moon,
• 24:39
  this is where I would get more intentional.
• 24:43
  And I don't mean by intentional,
• 24:45
  like,
• 24:46
  you know,
• 24:46
  set 10 goals and overhaul your life.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_00: This is much simpler than that.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_00: But it's about asking yourself, you know, what am I ready to begin?
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_00: And do I actually have the capacity to sustain it?
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_00: So if it feels too big,
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_00: you can just kind of pare it down into smaller steps,
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_00: maybe the first just little baby steps,
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_00: that feels accomplishable,
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_00: that feels sustainable,
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_00: and you can work with that.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_00: Because Mars,
• 25:13
  that Mars-Saturn conjunction at the end of the season is going
• 25:17
  to ask you to follow
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_00: through with what you're committing to.
• 25:21
  So just make sure that what you're doing is actually what
• 25:25
  you're willing to commit
• 25:26
  to and stick with even when that initial spark of excitement
• 25:31
  fades a little.
• 25:32
  And finally,
• 25:33
  this is a season about self,
• 25:36
  but not the self in isolation,
• 25:38
  okay?
• 25:39
  That Libra full moon is going to reflect something back to you
• 25:44
  through your relationships.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_00: So notice, where am I over-accommodating myself?
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_00: Where am I holding back?
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_00: And where am I ready to show up in a more honest way, more authentic way?
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_00: Please also remember that you don't need to rush this season,
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_00: even if the energy might make you feel like you should,
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_00: because it will.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_00: This is Aries we're talking about.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_00: That's not what you're going to do.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_00: Instead, you're going to let things reveal themselves and
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_00: Let the clarity come forward,
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_00: and it will,
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_00: because the astrology is there for that,
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_00: and then move forward with intention.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_00: As always,
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_00: of all the things I've said in this episode,
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_00: please just take what resonates for you,
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_00: leave what doesn't,
• 26:35
  and feel into how this is showing up in your own chart and in
• 26:40
  your own life.
• 26:41
  If you want to go deeper with this work,
• 26:43
  I am doing a limited number of readings.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_00: So if you'd ever like to work with me that way,
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_00: you can find the link to my stand store in the show notes.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_00: That is all for now.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_00: Have a wonderful Aries season, and I will see you in the next episode.
