Saturn returns to visibility on April 11, 2026. 🪐

Over the past few weeks, Saturn has been hidden from view, moving too close to the Sun to be seen. In many traditions, this is considered an “underworld” phase — a time of internal restructuring, reflection, and quiet transformation. ✨

Now, it begins to re-emerge.

Saturn will appear low on the eastern horizon before sunrise, faint at first, slowly gaining strength over the coming weeks. This is not a dramatic return, but it is a meaningful one. 🌅

When a planet disappears and then rises again, it carries a death–rebirth quality. Something has shifted beneath the surface, and now begins to come back into awareness with greater clarity and truth. 🖤

And this is happening in Aries. ♈️

With multiple planets already in Aries, there is a strong push toward movement and initiation. Saturn adds something different — responsibility, structure, and intention. It asks not just that you begin, but that you build something real.

As it moves into alignment with Mercury and Mars in the days ahead, this energy intensifies.

This is a time to move forward… but with awareness.

Where have you been holding yourself back? And are those limits real — or simply familiar? 🔥

The Full “Pink” Moon in Libra ♎️ peaks on April 1, 2026 at 10:12 PM EST (7:12 PM PST). 🌕

With the Sun at 12° Aries and the Full Moon at 12° Libra, this is a moment of reflection between self and other, independence and connection, action and awareness. 🌷

But this Full Moon isn’t operating in isolation.

Opposing this lunation are both Saturn and Neptune in Aries, bringing a dynamic that feels both structured and uncertain at the same time. There may be a push to move forward, alongside a need to slow down and really consider what’s true, what’s sustainable, and what is simply an illusion. 🔱🪐

In addition, the Sun in Aries forms a TRINE to Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius, while the Full Moon forms a TRINE to Pluto. This creates an undercurrent of intensity — one that can bring buried emotions, truths, or patterns into awareness. 🖤

Something may come to light that has been sitting just below the surface. 🪶

This Full Moon invites balance, but not avoidance. It asks for honesty, even when that honesty changes things. ⚖️

In this video, I pull three cards for the collective to offer additional guidance for this moment.

✨ Stay present with what is revealed… it may be showing you exactly where transformation is ready to begin. ✨🦋✨

Powerful water signs align this weekend… 🌊

Mars in Pisces trine Jupiter in Cancer peaks on 3/21/26 at 8:01 PM EST — bringing a wave of intuitive action, emotional momentum, and expanded opportunity. 🙏

But this isn’t just soft energy.
What begins as a feeling can grow quickly.

With the Moon moving into Ta**us early Sat 3/21 morning (2:35 AM EST), there’s a grounding influence that helps stabilize all of this water energy. ♉️

Feelings may rise… but Ta**us reminds you to move with intention, not reaction.

By Sunday 3/22, the Moon in Ta**us forms supportive sextiles to both Jupiter and Mars — helping this energy land in a more constructive, even fortuitous way. 🙏

This can be a very positive weekend.
Aligned action. Emotional clarity. Real movement.

Just stay aware of what you’re amplifying.

Trust what you feel… but don’t let it run ahead of you. ✨

The energy shifts in a powerful way on March 20th… ✨

At 10:46 AM EST, the Sun enters Aries, marking the Spring Equinox — a sacred turning point of balance, renewal, and new beginnings. This is the true astrological new year… a moment to rise, initiate, and move forward with courage. 🔥

Then later that day, at 3:33 PM EST, Mercury stations direct in Pisces. 🌊
After weeks of reflection, confusion, and inner processing, clarity begins to return — but gently.

We’re not fully in the clear just yet…

Mercury will remain in its post-retrograde shadow until April 9, asking us to move with awareness, not urgency. This is a time to integrate what was revealed, tie up loose ends, and trust the unfolding.

✨ Balance.
✨ Renewal.
✨ Forward motion — with wisdom.

You don’t need to rush.

Something new is quietly beginning beneath the surface…🎏

On March 18, 2026 at 9:23 PM EST, we welcome a New Moon in Pisces (28°) — a deeply intuitive and restorative reset. ♓️

This is a moment to slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with your inner world. Pisces invites reflection, healing, and surrender. It asks you to release what has been dissolving and to plant new seeds rooted in compassion, faith, and emotional truth. 🕯️

This is also a powerful time to write your New Moon manifestation list — not from pressure, but from alignment. 📝

Supporting this lunation, both the New Moon and Sun form sextiles to Uranus in Ta**us, opening the door to gentle but meaningful shifts. Sextiles bring opportunity — but they require participation. Pay attention to subtle nudges, unexpected insights, or new perspectives. What presents itself now may be a doorway, but it’s up to you to walk through it. 🚪

At the same time, Venus squares Jupiter, which can amplify emotions, desires, and expectations. Be mindful of overextending — whether in love, spending, or promises. There’s a balance here between expansion and discernment. 🖤

And just ahead… we are on the threshold of major forward movement. 🙏

By March 20th, we reach the Spring Equinox — a cosmic reset — alongside the end of Mercury Retrograde. The energy is shifting. Momentum is building. ✨

This New Moon is your preparation space.

Plant the seeds now.
Dream them. Feel them. Write them.
But allow things to fully unfold once Mercury is no longer retrograde.

✨ Not everything needs to be rushed. Some things need to be received.

As you sit with this New Moon, ask yourself:

What is my soul asking me to trust… even if I can’t fully see it yet? 🕯️

Something is shifting in the sky this week — and many of us are finally ready to move forward! 💛 Jupiter Stations Direct in Cancer at 11:30 PM EST on March 10, 2026, ending a Retrograde cycle that began November 11, 2025. 🙏

Over the past four months, has asked us to revisit emotional foundations — home, belonging, family patterns, and the ways we nurture ourselves and others. During this time, Jupiter moved from 25° Cancer back to 15° Cancer, inviting deeper reflection on what truly supports us. ✨

On March 11th, we experience the Last Quarter Moon at 20° Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter. As the Pisces Sun squares the Sagittarius Moon, we’re asked to integrate the wisdom gained and continue processing the revelations from the 3/3/26 Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon in Virgo. 🌕

We are now in the space between that Eclipse and the upcoming Pisces New Moon on March 18th — a reflective window where insight becomes preparation. 🌑

As Jupiter turns Direct, the emotional clarity gained during the Retrograde can now help us build stronger foundations for the future and move forward with greater intention. 💫

Venus enters Aries ♈️ from 3/6/26–3/30/26, shifting the energy of love, attraction, and creativity into something much more direct and courageous. ♥️

Aries is bold. It moves first and thinks later. We may feel a stronger pull to speak our desires honestly, pursue what excites us, and act from the heart rather than hesitation. 🔥

This is passionate, fast-moving energy that encourages initiative in relationships, creativity, and self-expression. ✨

Aries energy doesn’t wait for permission. It moves with instinct and courage. During this transit we may feel a stronger desire to speak honestly, pursue what excites us, and follow the spark of attraction or inspiration. ❤️

Love becomes direct.
Desire becomes honest.
Passion moves quickly.

Where is your heart asking you to be brave? ❤️‍🔥
