The week ahead is cove lit with ARIES.

There is a brightness to this week that cannot be dimmed. Not a soft glow, but a striking, directional light. A beam that finds you, follows you, reveals where you are standing and where you are being asked to move. Everything builds toward the NEW MOON in ARIES on APRIL 17. Before that ignition, there is a process of adjustment. Of clearing the lens. Of noticing where your energy has been diffused, and where it is ready to concentrate.

On APRIL 13, MARS meets NEPTUNE in ARIES. This is fire moving through mist. MARS brings drive, desire, the instinct to begin. NEPTUNE dissolves edges, asking for feeling, vision, imagination, and truth beyond the surface. In ARIES, the will of life itself is illuminated. What feels like personal desire reveals itself as something larger. A current that moves through you, not just from you. In contnuation from last weeks SUNDAY LETTER and SEVEN WEEKS to ROOT this is where fear and desire meet again.

You may feel the pull to act, to initiate, to step forward, and at the same time feel uncertainty rising alongside it. Do not mistake that for misalignment. This is the moment where imagination must be allowed to lead action. Where inspiration is not dismissed because it cannot yet be proven. The light here is diffused, but it is not weak. It asks you to move without overcorrecting. To trust what is calling you without becoming lost in undoing. This is not a week to hesitate into stillness. It is a week to refine how you move.

Light sharpens on APRIL 14, MERCURY enters ARIES. Thought catches fire and ideas move quickly, sometimes faster than the body can follow. MERCURY in ARIES is direct, instinctive, immediate. The mind no longer circles. It moves.

Sharpness softens into something more fluid on APRIL 16, MERCURY meets NEPTUNE. The light refracts and clarity becomes layered with intuition, logic infused with imagination. This is a moment of insight that does not arrive through force, but through openness. A remembering that mind and consciousness are not separate, but intertwined.

There is something almost otherworldly about this day. As if thoughts are being received rather than generated. As if ideas arrive from a wider field and pass through you briefly, asking only to be noticed, not held too tightly. This is a day to create. To dream. To allow yourself to think beyond what is immediately practical. To sit with possibility without needing to define it. There is a quiet assurance here. What is for you will not pass you. What is true will remain.

And then the sky ignites ink on APRIL 17 when the NEW MOON in ARIES arrives. Light resets. The MOON, unseen in the sky, sits alongside the SUN, MERCURY, MARS, SATURN, CHIRON, and NEPTUNE. A gathering. A concentration of energy so potent it feels almost audible. The cosmos hums. Loudly. Clearly. Not a subtle beginning, or quiet renewal, not a breath, or moment to sit. This is ignition. ARIES is the first spark. The moment of emergence. The point at which life chooses to begin again. Under this NEW MOON, the call is unmistakable. To move past what numbs. To step beyond what questions your worth or direction. To reclaim the part of you that knows what it wants, even if it cannot yet explain why.

The ground has already been turned. Our roots are exposed. The soil is open. What you plant now matters. Seeds sown under this NEW MOON will grow over the coming six months, and echo through the ASTROLOGICAL YEAR ahead (until MARCH END 2027). Not everything will bloom immediately. Some intentions will unfold slowly, asking for patience and continued care. Others will take hold quickly, surprising you with their speed. Both are part of the same cycle.

We stand here at the edge of ending and beginning.

In the dark velvet of this MOON, there is an invitation to keep it simple. To meet the moment through small, intentional acts. Light a candle. Step outside and feel the air against your skin. Listen to the wind. Let water move over your body. Shift your focus, even slightly, toward what feels alive. 

ASTROLOGIAL WEATHER this week does not ask for perfection. It asks for participation. We may not yet fully understand where our highest expression rests. But if we allow ourself to step forward with even a trace of courage, something will illuminate.

If this writing resonates, if it nourishes your thinking, your sensing, your way of meeting the season, you are warmly invited into the exchange. This work takes time, attention, and care to create. It is written slowly, listened for, shaped with intention. If it meets you, supports you, or stays with you beyond the moment of reading, support its continuation. Adding something to my TIP JAR is a way of honouring that exchange. A way of keeping the current moving, of allowing this work to remain alive, resourced, and shared. And if contribution is not yours right now, sharing this with someone who will receive it is another beautiful way of participating in the circulation.

Thank you for meeting me here.

SUN | MOON | RISING 

Read through your SUN | MOON | RISING to understand where this week’s ASTROLOGICAL WEATHER is moving through your life. Where the sky meets your body. Where something is being asked to begin, shift, or release. Take what resonates. Let the rest fall away.

ASTROLOGY is a symbolic language, but it is also precise. Each transit moves through a specific place in your chart, activating real experiences, real decisions, real moments of change. If you feel something stirring as you read, that is your invitation. In an ASTROLOGY READING, we move beyond the general into your personal landscape. Your NATAL CHART, your current TRANSITS, the cycles you are moving through right now. You will understand where you are, what is being asked of you, and how to move with it.

If you are ready to meet this moment with clarity, depth, and intention, you can book an ASTROLOGY READING with me.

ARIES 
Everything feels close to the surface. There is a sense that something is asking to begin through you, not later, not when it is perfect, but now. You may find yourself speaking more directly, making a decision you have been circling, or taking action on something you have been quietly holding. It could be as simple as sending the message, starting the project, or choosing yourself in a moment you would usually hesitate. Fear may still be there, but it no longer leads.

TAURUS
The movement is quieter, but no less powerful. Something stirs beneath the surface, asking for your attention in the spaces you usually keep private. You may feel the need to step back, to rest, to be alone in a way that allows clarity to rise without interference. A real moment might be choosing to cancel plans, to journal instead of distract, or to finally acknowledge something you have been avoiding. What begins here is not yet visible, but it is real.

GEMINI 
Your connections begin to shift in tone and direction. You may feel drawn toward different people, conversations, or ideas than before. A message arrives, an invitation appears, or a conversation opens that redirects your thinking. You might find yourself saying yes to something new, or realising that a space you once fit into no longer holds you. There is movement in how you belong.

CANCER 
There is a strong pull toward your direction and what you are building. Something becomes clearer about where you want to go, even if the path is not fully formed. You may feel the urge to step forward in your work, share something publicly, or make a decision about your next move. At the same time, part of you may want to retreat. Both are valid. The key is to move in a way that still feels supportive.

LEO 
Your perspective stretches. You begin to see beyond your current circumstances into something wider, more expansive. This could show up as a desire to travel, study, teach, or simply think differently about your life. A conversation, book, or idea may land at exactly the right time. There is a sense that you are being asked to trust something larger than what you can immediately see.

VIRGO
Something deeper is being stirred. Emotions, attachments, or patterns that sit below the surface begin to rise into awareness. You may find yourself having an honest conversation, setting a boundary, or recognising where you have been holding onto something out of habit. This is not about force. It is about clarity. A quiet decision to release what no longer fits.

LIBRA 
Relationships take centre focus. You may see more clearly where balance exists and where it does not. This could show up in a conversation where something unspoken is finally addressed, or in a moment where you choose to respond differently. There is an opportunity to meet others with honesty, while also staying true to yourself.

SCORPIO 
Your daily life begins to ask for adjustment. There is energy available, but how you use it matters. You may feel motivated to change a routine, begin something new, or take better care of your body. It could be as simple as waking earlier, moving your body differently, or choosing to complete something you have been putting off. Small shifts carry weight.

SAGITTARIUS 
There is a return of creative energy and desire. You may feel more expressive, more willing to engage with what brings you joy. This could show up through art, connection, or simply allowing yourself to enjoy something without overthinking it. A spontaneous decision, a moment of play, or a creative idea could open something important.

CAPRICORN 
Your attention turns toward home and what holds you. There may be a need to create more stability, or to address something within your personal space or family dynamic. This could be rearranging your environment, having a needed conversation, or simply taking time to rest. The foundation you build here supports everything else.

AQUARIUS 
Your mind becomes active, but in a way that wants expression rather than repetition. Conversations matter. Words carry weight. You may find yourself writing, speaking, or sharing something that has been forming within you. A message sent at the right moment or an idea spoken aloud can shift more than you expect.

PISCES 
There is a focus on value, both tangible and internal. You may begin to see more clearly what you need to feel supported and what you are no longer willing to accept. This could show up through money, work, or simply how you choose to spend your time and energy. A decision to honour your worth, even in a small way, begins to change the landscape.
