The week begins with a new moon in Aries. Aries loves to begin things. Lives to launch itself into action. With great courage and no consideration for consequences.
Each new moon initiates us into a new cycle. Reminds us that it is natural to be in a process of renewal. Reminds us that it is necessary to reset.
This new moon also initiates us into a new season. We have turned a corner. Light has shifted. The heartbeat of the planet has changed tempo. If we are interested in aligning with nature, then we need to, too. This is how magic is made.
This week the second of three squares between Jupiter and Pluto occurs. Jupiter in Libra is currently retrograde. Retracing its steps. Going back over the ideas and relationships that is has tried to expand upon. This second square between Jupiter and Pluto is the mid-way point to resolution with the final square occurring in August. The square from Pluto can trigger Jupiter’s ever increasing appetites but at the same time makes it clear what needs to be deepened in order to expand. Pluto checks the balance that Jupiter is trying to grow into. It also checks extremist attitudes, belief systems in general and the need for conversations and relationships built on equality. Equality by means of deconstructing the systems that keep some of us up and way more of us down. Not the performance of wanting equality by only wishing it so or trying to be a “good person”.
While the slower gods battle, the quicker ones change sign. Venus retrogrades backwards into Pisces while Mercury progresses forwards into Taurus, where it will station retrograde on April 10th. Both of these planets are moving through echo-chambers. Whether retracing movements they have just made or venturing into ground that they will shortly return to, these are déjà vu days.
Venus does much better in Pisces than in it does in Aries. Here, Venus is lauded for her ability to connect to all the suffering she comes in contact with. Fluid, flexible, vulnerable, available and compassionate, it could be argued that Venus in Pisces attracts too much attention. Is flooded with it. Has a hard time knowing what to do with it. Has to learn how to say no to those that are just feeding off of it and not in reciprocity with it. It is in these waters of Pisces where Venus will station direct on April 15th. Venus has much to teach us in the coming days about healing our relationship wounds and repairing the parts of our hearts that have been torn due to overextension towards those that can’t meet us half way.

Aries & Aries Rising
I am reborn by the love I receive. I am reborn by the love that I allow in. I am reborn each time my heart, in all its honesty, is witnessed.
I wait for no one to do this. I bear witness to it.
I use Monday’s new moon to initiate myself into a new level of self-care. To initiate myself into a new level of self-respect. To initiate myself into a new way to care for and encourage the longings of my heart.
I witness the ways I withhold love from myself. Ways that I thought I had parted ways with. Ways that I outsmart myself. Ways that I can now watch out for.
I do not stay in places that encourage my fragility. I do not remain complacent with love that does not challenge my ignorance. I do not seek to pacify myself with love that doesn’t see my potential and push me towards it.
Because that isn’t love.
That is niceness. And niceness is a dangerous thing to seek. Or sleep with. Niceness will not protect what is vulnerable, but it will protect what is predatory.
So I move towards the people, places and things that challenge me because they respect me.
I move towards becoming my own greatest challenger. Lovingly. Compassionately. Respectfully. I challenge myself because I respect myself. I challenge my heart to grow beyond its fear because I respect its capacity. I challenge my life to move into discomfort in the service of greater growth because I respect the gift that it is.

Taurus & Taurus Rising
Monday’s new moon is a rebirth. From deep within. A private and precious awakening. A moment to help me remember what is truly important in life. A moment that helps me to refocus my awareness on what needs to go so that more important things can grow. A moment that lends me the courage that I need to allow these endings to proceed.
I don’t hang onto what has gone. I do not grasp for ghosts. I no longer allow myself to get transfixed by hauntings of failure long past.
I take this new moon as my invitation to clean out the storage units that my consciousness has kept things in. Things I didn’t want to witness. Things I didn’t know how to understand. Things I had forgotten I’d left for later.
Now is the time to spring clean the ideas that leave my mind lackluster. Now is the time to burn away the debris that has become a hazardous obstacle. Now is the time to consciously curate space so that I have room for what’s next. Conscious of my relationship to loss. Conscious of the love that I need to fill myself with so that I feel open and ready, not hollow or empty.

Gemini & Gemini Rising
I align myself with those that encourage my growth. I create space for connections with those that challenge my assumptions and provide me with insights I had yet to understand. I make room for the relationships that encourage me to stretch past my comfort zones and test my ability to witness my shortcomings.
I am not content with surrounding myself with those that are concerned with their own interests only. It is uninteresting. I aim to connect myself to a wide web of dream-weavers that know how to extend themselves past selfish interests. I aim to build community that continues to refine its work with complex and compassionate systems of resistance.
I use this new moon to rededicate myself to the movements that move me to act with others in mind. To wonder how my actions are impacting our collective future. To ponder how I might align myself with those who have healing in mind. To consider how my career might benefit from a more careful application of my skill set. So that less suffering might be suffered. So that less harm might be done. So that my work in the world can become a solid support system for a greater network of care.

Cancer & Cancer Rising
I call up the courage to create the work that I most wish to see in the world. I call up the care it takes to cultivate the work I most wish to see in the world. I call upon the forces that be to help this work find its way in the world.
May this work help to cultivate more care for our world. May this work help to encourage a more careful defiance in the face of what stands in the way of such care. May this work help us all to feel cared for and therefore care more about each other.
May this work be in support of every courageous heart that rises up to hate. May this work be bold in its declarations of love. Unafraid to ruffle the feathers of birds that peck away at justice. Unapologetic of its intent. Unwilling to be placated by merely being likable.
May this work be distinct. So that it can attract those that are right for it. So that it can uphold the values that my community is working hard to cultivate. So that it stands for the things that I am proud to call my contributions to the world.
May I feel honored to serve this work. Honored to labour over this work. Honored to do battle on its behalf. If I love it, I need to be able to fight for it and there is nothing greater to fight for than all that we love.

Leo & Leo Rising
I use Monday’s new moon to set goals. Goals wide enough to take into consideration the changes that will occur along the way. Goals deep enough to draw me to them. Goals inspiring enough to help me over the hurdles that I will surely meet.
I set the goals that keep me focused on loving the journey. I set goals that help me from missing the moments of a life increasingly more fast-paced. I set the goals that keep me aimed in the most honest of directions.
I make it a goal to seek what will challenge me.
I know that overcoming what is easy will only keep me complacent with mediocrity. I know that anything that appreciates me only for being accommodating will never welcome my entirety. I know that the teachers that test me are the ones I wish to study from.
I pass the tests that the world says are beyond my understanding. I co-create curriculum for the new schools of thought. I join with those that want to see how far we can stretch ourselves into future possibilities.
I envision myself in futures that are home to flourishing, diverse life-forms. I envision myself as part of a future that is capable of dreaming up the healing that we need in the present moment. I envision myself as part of a future that can conjure up the medicine we need to mend our collective mindset and the intelligence to put it to use. I envision that future as my present and courageously act on its behalf in all that I do.

Virgo & Virgo Rising
I love what I labour over. I find new ways to show my work that I care. I come to a greater understanding of all that I can provide to my professional endeavors.
I am initiated through all I am dedicated to.
I show my commitment to my own growth by tending to the details of things. If I am going to do a job, no matter what it is, I will do it to the best of my ability. That way none of my work is done in vain. That way all of my work is dignified and affords me dignity. That way all my work is a building block to bigger things.
Folks may not remember exactly what I did, but they will remember the care with which I did it.
My ability to care about what I do is a way to experience success in all I attempt. I am not attached to whether something is easy or difficult. There is meaning in both experiences. My ability to conjure up the courage to do everything I can to the best of my ability is indicative of my ability to succeed no matter what the set up. My success is measured by the amount of self-respect I experience when the job is done and I aim for an excessive amount of it.

Libra & Libra Rising
My partnerships prepare me for the awakenings I most need at the moment. My partnerships hold the key to my healing. My partnerships help me to understand in greater depth my ability to expand.
Through the depths that our hearts push each other into, we can grow exponentially.
There are some things that I cannot get to on my own. There are some spaces that I am not permitted entry into on my own. There are some places that only we can take each other to.
I call in the partnerships that are ready to go to the next level with me.
I allow Monday’s new moon to initiate me into a greater understanding of all that occurs for me in relationship. I know that initiations tend to bring up all that stops me in my tracks. I know that initiations tend to test, challenge and bring me to my edge. I know that initiations are thresholds that are revealed when I am ready to trespass them.
I move through these gates of commitment, ready to see what is on the other side of hesitation. I stay committed to my growth. I stay committed to discovering all I can about myself through this process. I stay connected to the depths of my experience so that the expansion that I am experiencing remains tethered to my immovable foundation.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
I co-create professional environments that are in support of personal healing. I ally myself with coworkers, conspirators and creative consorts that are down to help make this happen. I see my working relationships as resources to give energy to and receive support from.
I seek out those that are willing to get up to good mischief with me. I seek the partners that aren’t afraid to be contrary when it comes to doing the right thing. I seek the partners that will help me learn how to be courageous where I can be cowardly, honest where I can succumb to my own lies and forthright where I can become too timid to be truthful. I give my time and attention to the warriors that cross my path, willing to teach me. Willing to offer me guidance. Willing to lend me the vibrancy of their energy for inspiration and invigoration.
I remember that these teachers do not always common human form. I make friends with all manner of life. For the sake of my work and my health I imitate the boldness of blooming trees. The force of the rushing rivers. The sweet sounds of nature’s new season.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
My creativity heals me. My creativity teaches me about the transformative process of creation. My creativity teaches me that each and every pain has a purpose in my development. As long as I can keep allowing this creative energy to move through me, it will show me how to make a success out of what has felt like a failure. It will help me tap into and align myself with the regenerative power of nature. It will always bring me back to my natural alignment with the rebirth of the earth.
I am a part of the natural world and nothing here is out of place nor does it go to waste.
Every part of my journey is to be used on this path. Every part of my journey can inform my way forward. Every part of my journey has taught me an invaluable lesson. I put all these aspects of my life to good use. I put everything, holy and unholy, that happened to me into the creation that is my life. I need not leave any part of myself behind. I remember that anything that I have lived through can be composted and repurposed. Fertilizer for the soil. Fuel for the tank. Fodder for the mill.
I know that my ability to make something out of whatever I have been given gives not only life to my projects, but hope to all those in the same boat. I know that my ability to become a conscious creator of my life helps me to attract those that can support this unfolding process. I know that each time I trust this creative energy that runs through me my intuition gets stronger, guiding me more clearly to my destiny.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
My primary relationships are treasure troves. They are well-springs of information. They are non-stop channels of intelligence for me to tap into.
Those that birthed me, fed me and first held me are the templates for all my relationships. I keep hold of the heartening aspects of my kin. I become conscious of the disheartening aspects of our relationships. I am willing to become fully conscious of the impact of these imprints upon me. I am willing to know that the forms that my family relationships shaped me into are re-shapable. Reformable. Reconstructable. I am here to claim the fact that I can take the goodness past down to me and I can graciously work to deconstruct what was ill-conceived.
I use Monday’s new moon to remind myself of all that I wish to build upon. I use Monday’s new moon to remind myself of all that I wish to renovate. I use Monday’s new moon to make peace with what couldn’t hold me and to make a decisive decision to figure out how to hold myself. I ask for courage to part from all that erodes my infrastructure and the ingenuity needed to redesign it so that it might hold all that I hope to invite in.
I am building my life by layering the best of what I can salvage for its base. Layer by layer, I build my best. Layer by layer, I live up to all I can.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Monday’s new moon wants me to reset my schedules. Clear out the clutter in my calendar. Align myself with all that helps me live my days in ways that awaken my courage so that I might manifest the beauty I most need to experience in the world.
In order to do so I might need to make a bold move. I might need to venture into spaces that challenge me to grow into my next phase. Spaces that might make me uncomfortable in good ways. Growth edges that give me room to learn. Lessons that hold me to the fires that burn away my ignorance.
May I be open to this process. May it help me to become more adept at acknowledging my fears. May it help me to become wiser, finding creative ways to confront what encourages me to stop learning. May it help me to become more conscious of cultivating compassion for the parts of me that get frozen and stuck. Forgetting that I have agency is not a crime, but it is a sentence that does not serve me if I serve it for too long.
May Monday’s new moon help me to remember to channel the courage of the earth’s creatures if I need inspiration. May I remember to hunt for nourishment, soar towards a greater perspective and track the impulses that guide me towards fulfillment.

Pisces & Pisces Rising
I am in relationship with my resources. I am in partnership with every asset I possess. I am connected to what sustains my life in little and large ways.
I use Monday’s new moon to rededicate myself to courageously putting forward my best. I use Monday’s new moon to develop the strength I need to go head to head with what tends to intimidate me. I use Monday’s new moon to realign myself with the aspect of nature that imbues all its creations with the desire to thrive.
Every living thing has a plan for its unfolding embedded in its DNA. It is my job to free this plan. Unleash its potential. Encourage its intelligence into action. Help it find the most fruitful flourishing possible.
I am in support of what supports my growth. I am in service to what challenges me to be of greatest use in the world. I am committed to creating business models that encourage my humanity before my dominance. Business models that engender connections that congratulate individuals that challenge themselves to grow rather than foster competition that divides and conquers. Business models that redefine what success looks like so that it reflects the health of the whole, rather than just the inflation of a few.
