In order to thrive we must learn how to nurture the nature around us and within us 🌿

All else is a path of self destruction 😳

Humans are both the curse and the cure 🙃

The past few years have clearly demonstrated narratives of ego driven madness of toxic proportions ☠️

Designed to dismiss and destroy natural order 👀

There is only ONE Planet we all call home 🌍

Honour our Ancestors by honouring your body and your Field of influence and experience 💕

Nurturing your internal and external environment 🙌

Honour our Mother 🌍

Happy Earth Day

I have drifted among constellations
met all the wild ones
left illusions at every door
I felt broken lost and totally shattered
even my bones learned to breathe
the dust off
I surrendered into oblivion
and while pain swallowed me whole
something still reached for me
a gentle pull from nowhere
a faint thread winding itself around me
a spark
a pulse
the quiet insistence to keep moving
to speak the soft prophecy
that love
will gather us home again

It’s Choose Day 😬

The chaotic and strange energy has underpinned the past few years 👀

Distractions and distortions are the norm 🙄

What you aren’t changing you are choosing, by default 😬

Spring clean and audit your field of interplay and interaction 🤔

Reassert boundaries, repair and restore breaches 👊🏻

Choose willingly and wisely 😅

Or don’t 🙃

Emotional Weather Report
April 21st, 2026
(All Times Pacific)

The day opens with a shift into deeper emotional terrain as the Moon moves into Cancer at 10:00 a.m. The system pulls inward here. Attention drifts toward what feels safe, what feels familiar, and what feels like it belongs to you. There is a softening, but it is not passive. It is protective. The body starts tracking emotional signals more closely, and the instinct to secure your environment becomes stronger. This is the first moment where the day starts to feel personal.

By 12:50 p.m., the Sun in Ta**us sextiles that Cancer Moon, and something stabilizes. There is a brief window where emotional needs and physical reality can cooperate. You can feel what matters and also do something about it. This is grounding without shutting down. It favors nourishment, connection, and simple actions that reinforce a sense of continuity. The system is not being pushed yet. It is being held.

That changes at 2:54 p.m. when the Moon squares Neptune in Aries. The clarity you had earlier begins to blur. Emotional signals become harder to interpret because something else is bleeding into them. You may feel something strongly without knowing why, or respond to something that is not fully present. This is where projection, imagination, and confusion start to mix. The internal world becomes louder than the external one, and the boundary between them gets thin. It is not false, but it is unstable.

By 11:30 p.m., the Moon squares Saturn in Aries, and the tone hardens. What was diffuse earlier becomes defined through pressure. Emotional responses meet resistance. Limits show up. Fatigue, frustration, or a sense of emotional containment can emerge here. This is where the system asks what is actually sustainable. Not what feels good in the moment, but what holds under strain. The earlier softness meets a wall, and the response to that wall becomes the story.

How You Can Use the Energy
Move with the early softness and use it to anchor something real before the field destabilizes. The middle of the day supports simple acts that reinforce security and connection. When the confusion comes in, treat emotional signals as information rather than instruction. By the time the pressure hits at night, you want something already rooted that can hold its shape.

How the Energy Can Use You
You can drift into emotional narratives that feel real but are not fully grounded, reacting to impressions instead of conditions. When the pressure arrives later, that instability collapses into frustration or shutdown. The system can pull you from softness into confusion and then into rigidity without a clear throughline if awareness drops out.

Spring is a reminder of new growth 🌱

The heat and the fire of the intense Aries energies were like the seed germinating, being cracked open 😅

The Taurean energies are asking us to be grounded and grow roots to stabilise the foundation 🙌

Energy flows where attention goes 👀

What seeds are you watering? 🤔

The roots grow first 😬

Use all the s**t that has happened as fertiliser, not a place to wallow 💩

Grow through what you go through 😅

Simple, but not easy 😬

Might look like nothing is happening on surface 🙃

Believe is seeing 😅

Have faith in your Self 🥰

Old beginnings, new endings 😅

Be YOU to the full 🫶🏻

Feeling into the shift

Hold Your Ground: The Hidden Work of Ta**us Season

April 19th – May 20th, 2026
(All Times Pacific)

The Sun crosses into Ta**us at 6:39 PM on April 19th, and something in the system exhales. Aries season pushed heat, urgency, ignition. Ta**us does not put that fire out. It asks a different question. What can actually hold?

This season opens with a subtle tension already in the air. Movement is increasing. Ideas are speeding up. The sky is getting louder with Gemini activity before the Sun even gets there. The body, meanwhile, moves at its own pace. Ta**us sets the tempo to something slower, denser, more deliberate. That tension becomes the story. Speed meets substance. Motion meets mass.

The first real test arrives on April 25th, when the Sun in Ta**us squares Pluto in Aquarius. The pressure here is immediate and structural. Pluto in Aquarius is already working through systems, networks, collective dynamics, the invisible architecture that shapes behavior. Ta**us is personal. Physical. Tangible. The square forces a confrontation between what you can directly hold and what is shaping you from a distance.

This is not abstract. It shows up as pressure on the body, on resources, on stability. You feel where something external is trying to reorganize your internal ground. The instinct might be to grip harder, to hold tighter, to resist the shift. That response makes the pressure more visible. Ta**us does not win by force. It stabilizes by adjusting weight, redistributing energy, finding a position that can actually be maintained.

At the same time, something new begins to move through the system. Venus enters Gemini on April 23rd, followed by Uranus entering Gemini on April 25th. The air starts circulating. Connections multiply. Conversations branch. Attention fractures and expands at the same time. This is not a quiet Ta**us season. The mind is active, curious, pulled in multiple directions.

Air feeds fire. The ideas, the conversations, the information flow begin to stimulate movement again. The difference is that now the body has to keep up. Ta**us becomes the regulator. What is worth engaging? What actually lands? What passes through without substance?

The Full Moon in Scorpio on May 1st, landing on Beltane, brings the first emotional peak. Scorpio does not skim. It goes to depth, to entanglement, to shared energy and hidden bonds. Whatever has been building under the surface becomes undeniable here. Ta**us holds. Scorpio reveals what that holding costs.

There is a sense of crossing a threshold. Beltane carries themes of union, fertility, the merging of forces. In Scorpio, that merging becomes intense, sometimes overwhelming. Patterns of attachment, desire, control, and vulnerability come into focus. The body feels this. The emotional system intensifies. This is where embodiment becomes necessary, not optional. Without it, the depth pulls you under. With it, you can move through intensity without losing center.

By May 6th, Pluto stations retrograde in early Aquarius, and the pressure shifts direction. The external force that felt imposing begins to turn inward. Reflection replaces reaction. The systems that were pushing begin to reveal their internal logic. You start to see how you have been participating in the very structures that felt outside of your control.

This does not slow the pace. It changes the angle of awareness. The air is still active. The conversations are still moving. The difference is that now there is more room to observe how influence works.

The Sun’s sextile to Jupiter in Cancer on May 10th opens a window of support. This is the first moment in the season where expansion feels stabilizing instead of destabilizing. Jupiter in Cancer grows through care, through protection, through emotional intelligence. The connection to the Sun in Ta**us reinforces what actually nourishes.

Growth here is not explosive. It is steady, supportive, reinforcing. The body feels safer. The ground feels more reliable. There is an opportunity to build something that can last, not because it is forced into place, but because it is aligned with what sustains you.

On May 14th, the Sun conjuncts Mercury in Ta**us, bringing the mind fully into the body. Thoughts slow down. Words carry weight. Communication becomes more deliberate. This is not about speed or cleverness. It is about clarity that can be held and applied.

Decisions made here tend to stick. Ideas take form. What has been circulating through Gemini channels begins to condense into something usable. This is where thinking becomes practical. The body and the mind move in the same direction.

The New Moon in Ta**us on May 16th resets the field. This is the deepest point of embodiment in the season. The noise drops. The focus returns to what is essential. Ta**us does not begin with abstraction. It begins with what is here, what is present, what can be touched, built, sustained.

This New Moon asks for commitment to reality. Not the imagined version, not the projected outcome, but the actual conditions you are working with. There is power in that. When you align with what is real, growth becomes possible in a way that is consistent and durable.

Immediately after, the pace picks up again. Mercury enters Gemini on May 17th, followed by Mars entering Ta**us and Venus entering Cancer on May 18th. The system becomes more dynamic. Communication accelerates. Action grounds. Relationships soften and deepen.

This is a complex blend. Air is moving fast. Earth is holding steady. Water is connecting and binding. Fire is still present in the background, fueled by the constant movement of ideas and interactions. The challenge is integration. No single element dominates. Everything is active.

Mars in Ta**us acts slowly but with force. Once it commits, it does not easily change direction. Venus in Cancer seeks emotional safety, familiarity, connection that feels like home. Mercury in Gemini continues to scatter and gather information at high speed. The body becomes the central point of coordination. Without it, the system fragments.

By May 20th at 5:37 PM, the Sun moves into Gemini, and the shift becomes undeniable. The focus leaves the body and moves into the mind. The pace increases again. The questions multiply.

What Ta**us season leaves behind is a foundation. The real question is whether you built it.

This is a busy month. Movement is constant. Information is everywhere. Energy is circulating at multiple levels at once. The test is simple, but not easy. Can you stay in your body while everything else speeds up?

Ta**us does not compete with motion. It anchors it. It gives it form. It decides what stays and what passes through. If you meet this season on its own terms, the result is not stagnation. It is stability that can support everything that comes next.

If you don’t, the speed takes over, and the ground starts to disappear beneath you.

This season shows you the difference.

Aries was the spark, but Ta**us is the foundation. You can’t build your new life if your hands are still full of the old one. Drop these before the season shifts:

Emotional Weather Report
April 19th, 2026
(All Times Pacific)

The day opens with a jolt at 8:45 a.m. as the Moon conjuncts Uranus in Ta**us, a final emotional lightning strike in terrain that has been shifting under your feet for years. Something lands, or breaks, or reveals itself in a way that bypasses your usual pacing. Ta**us prefers stability, but Uranus has been rewriting the definition of stability itself. This moment carries the sense that a chapter is closing. The ground you have been learning to stand on is about to change texture entirely. You feel it in the body first.

By 9:17 a.m., the Moon moves into Gemini and everything starts moving faster. The emotional tone shifts from embodiment to interpretation. What just happened begins to scatter into thoughts, conversations, messages, and meaning-making. At 1:56 p.m., the Moon sextiles Neptune in Aries, and the mind opens into something more intuitive, more impressionistic. There is a window here where insight can slip through quickly, but it may not come in a fully formed or logical way. You are catching fragments of a larger pattern.

Then the weight hits at 3:44 p.m. as Mars conjuncts Saturn in Aries. This is the center of gravity for the day. Movement meets resistance. Initiative meets consequence. The part of you that wants to act, push, claim territory, or accelerate runs directly into a structure that demands proof, discipline, and reality. This does not necessarily shut things down. It defines the edge. It shows you where effort translates into something real and where it does not hold. For those with placements around 7 degrees of the cardinal signs, this pressure becomes personal. You feel exactly where your energy has been well-placed and where it has been scattered or premature. The political and collective layer of this is obvious, but it is also happening internally as a calibration of will.

Later, the Moon in Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius, and the tone shifts again. The earlier disruption and pressure begin to reorganize into a clearer sense of direction. Thoughts sharpen. Patterns become more visible. There is a sense that what felt chaotic earlier now has a trajectory.

At 6:39 p.m., the Sun moves into Ta**us, and the entire atmosphere grounds. After the volatility and friction of Aries season, this transition begins to pull attention back into what is tangible, sustainable, and worth building over time. The body becomes relevant again. The pace changes, even if the mind is still moving quickly.

The evening carries a series of supportive sextiles from the Moon in Gemini to Mercury, Saturn, and Mars in Aries. There is a sense of integration here. What was confronted earlier in the day starts to become usable. Conversations land more clearly. Decisions feel more aligned with reality. Effort begins to organize itself in a way that can actually move forward.

How You Can Use the Energy

You are working with a day that moves from disruption into definition and then into integration. The early shock or shift shows you something real. The mid-day pressure asks you to respond with structure rather than impulse. By the evening, there is an opportunity to translate insight into action that actually holds. Staying present through each phase allows the day to build on itself instead of fragmenting into reactions.

How the Energy Can Use You

If you move too quickly after the initial disruption, the Mars-Saturn conjunction becomes a wall rather than a guide. Frustration builds when action is not aligned with reality. Scattered thinking can dilute the clarity trying to come through. The day can turn into a cycle of reaction, resistance, and mental overactivity if the underlying recalibration is avoided.
