A Week That Says Move or Be Moved

All signs look at the unprecedented Aries everything-all-at-once situation

"I'm not in danger, I am the danger." - Walter White, Breaking Bad

Alright, come sit down for a second. I’ve got coffee, I’ve got a cat that needs brushing, plenty of questionable life advice and above us - a sky that is absolutely fucking feral this week.

You remember when we astro nerds were foaming at the mouth about that April Aries pile-up, saying something big is coming, something loud, something that forces up the main character energy onto our broken global and personal storylines?

Yeah. We meant this week.

Now, today is good. Today we breathe, today we sip on coffee and brush out our cat’s dreadlocks. And tomorrow you wake up with a slap and bucket of gasoline thrown in your face. Don’t worry, we’ll be prepared.

Sunday to Sunday throws us headfirst into a sequence of events that feels suspiciously like a turning point you will reference later as that week everything got so for real, so fast and furious. Zooming out for a second, you can see how 2026 has been quietly building toward this.

The cracks we noticed, the instincts we ignored, the half-formed ideas we entertained but didn’t act on, they’re all being dragged into motion now. This week accelerates the plot twists already chaotically drafted in your story in the margins. This week, they’re getting legs.

We’ve got Mars conjoining Neptune in Aries kicking things off with a beautifully questionable sense of direction, Chiron cazimi in Aries prying something tender and inconvenient into full view, a New Moon in Aries that does not believe in easing you in gently, and then, just to make sure you meant it, Mars conjoining Saturn in Aries frustration station.

I can promise you this: it will be more than a bit dramatic, sure. But also strangely honest.

So instead of spiraling about it alone, come here. Let’s sit with it, walk it through, and make something resembling sense of the week ahead, one beautifully unhinged day at a time.


Sun, April 12

Mars conjoins Neptune in Aries

Sunday arrives slightly sideways. You wake up with a feeling that something is pulling you forward, but the map is… interpretive at best.

Mars is ready to go, obviously. Shoes on, door open, halfway down the stairs. Neptune is still in bed, dreaming up a version of reality that feels better than the one with consequences. And can we just not? It’s Sunday for peetsake. Aries doesn’t mediate between the go and no-go energy, it just hands you the keys and says figure it out on the road. That restlessness will need to find appropriate channels for release, I’m afraid.

So people move. Quickly. Emotionally. Convincingly. Whether the direction makes sense is almost beside the point in the moment.

There’s something seductive about the certainty that shows up here. A glance becomes a sign. A mood becomes a mission. You might find yourself halfway into a decision before you’ve even named what you’re chasing. The air is thick with “main character” energy that could lead to a masterpiece or a spectacular public meltdown. Choose your crusade wisely, because the fuel is high-octane, the charge is high-voltage, but once again - the map is currently melting.

There’s imagination, longing, a kind of raw, searching honesty underneath it. Just… maybe don’t treat every impulse like a sacred assignment. Some of them are just passing weather wearing a dramatic outfit.

Mon, April 13

Venus in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer

Monday steadies the room.

Just as you’re about to lose your mind in that famously draining and disorienting Neptune fog, the sky hands you a cold kombucha and a plate stacked with naughty, like it’s universe’s way of saying “I know it’s a lot, eat some carbs.”

Nothing flashy, nothing performative, just a quiet return to the basics that actually keep you going. You eat something proper. Someone shows up in a way that feels uncomplicated. The world stops asking quite so much of you for a minute.

It’s the kind of day where comfort isn’t a reward, it’s just… there. Available. You don’t have to earn it by suffering first.

And maybe that’s the point. Letting something be easy without immediately waiting for it to go wrong. Letting your shoulders drop without checking the clock.

Venus is luxuriously comfortable in Taurus and Jupiter is feeling expansive in Cancer, creating a rare pocket of genuine, tangible support. It’s the radical pleasure of a clean bed with no weird annoying folds or crumbs, and the realization that your nervous system doesn’t have to feel under assault 24/7.

Grab this moment of stability with both hands, because the ground is about to start shaking again.

Plug time: I happen to have a perfect guided meditation journey for days like this, for astrology weather that reveals not everything is shit forever, weather that makes us afraid to accept the good thing, even if it’s just for today:


Tue, April 14

Mercury in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus

Your mind takes a different route today. Less straight lines, more unexpected shortcuts through places you didn’t realize connected.

It’s the ‘something clicks while you’re doing something else entirely’ type of scenario. A thought you weren’t chasing lands fully formed. You might not even trust it at first because it didn’t arrive through the usual channels. Journal it out!

There’s this quiet intelligence in it, in whatever lands with a thud today. Not loud, not pushy, just there, waiting for you to notice. So, try pay attention to what drifts in rather than what you’re trying to force. The useful stuff isn’t always the loudest.

What you do right now is often not what you’re really doing for your story, when you zoom out far enough to see where things connect and through where the current runs.

Ideas today come in bypassing the usual logic gates..that’s great! Weird thoughts, the coincidences, the bizarre headlines.

The status quo is leaking, and the insights you catch today might just be the seeds of the revolution you are meant to be acting out for the rest of the decade!

For a more 360 degrees look into the weeks ahead, I write about the full month of April astrology as a story guiding us from collapse, through delusion, comfort, healing and brutal reality sucker punch into a chaotic awakening where nobody is coming to tell you what is true anymore, with a detailed guidance for each sign and a joyful healing guided meditation here:


Wed, April 15

Moon in Aries conjunct Saturn, Neptune & Mars (all in friggin Aries)

Instead of knocking, midweek pulls you straight into the center of your own internal weather, like you’ve walked out the door expecting mild conditions and suddenly you’re in the middle of something with wind, noise, movement, the whole atmosphere shifting around you without asking for your consent.

Everything feels closer, louder, less filtered.

Reactions come faster than your usual ability to narrate them, patience becomes more of a concept than a lived reality, and whatever you thought you had planned for the day might get abandoned halfway through because something else cuts in front of it with a very convincing sense of urgency.

There’s a strange rhythm to it, like a stop-start quality where you feel the push to act, then meet resistance, then feel the impulse to push harder just to prove you can, and right on its heels comes that flicker of doubt just loud enough to make you hesitate for a second. It’s messy.

So, what if we reframe it as something in you (and up there in the sky, but that really is one and the same, after all) trying to get your attention without dressing itself up nicely, without waiting for the right tone or the right moment.

And maybe the most useful thing you can do here is not rush to fix it or resolve it or turn it into a clean decision. Let it exist for a minute.

You don’t have to act on every surge that runs through you, but if you keep brushing it off entirely, it will find a louder way to speak.

Give it a little space. A coffee break from reality that’s just long enough to actually hear what’s underneath the noise.


Thur, April 16

Chiron cazimi in Aries

Thursday lands differently. The volume drops a touch, but the focus sharpens and suddenly you’re looking at something very specific, very personal, that you’ve managed to keep slightly out of frame until now. It’s not some grand revelation descending from the heavens, it’s quieter than that, more familiar, like catching your reflection at an angle you weren’t expecting and recognizing something you’ve seen before but never quite named out loud.

This shift arrives courtesy of the Chiron Cazimi aka a moment where Chiron, the “Wounded Healer” sits in the exact heart of the Sun.

In astrology, a Cazimi (from the Arabic for “in the heart of the Sun”) is like a spotlight being turned on in a dark room - wham! It clarifies and purifies whatever planet it touches. When it’s Chiron, the planet representing our deepest, most persistent insecurities and the wisdom we gain from them, it might just reveal - with clarity - what was the bigger story all along in our personal wounding, you know, the story you’ve been carrying about yourself, how you explain (and excuse) your reactions, your habits, your timing..Today it doesn’t exactly combust or fall apart, it just… wobbles a bit.

Enough to notice. Enough that you can’t quite slide back into it as comfortably as you did before.

It tends to orbit the same territory, how you enter a room, how much space you take or don’t take, where you hold back even when you don’t need to, or where you push a little too hard to cover something more vulnerable. The choreography you know by heart.

Except today it’s harder to outsource it. Harder to pin it on timing, or circumstances, or other people’s behavior. Chiron in Aries demands you look at the rawest version of your identity.. And there’s something quietly relieving about that kind of clarity, even if your first instinct is to flinch away from it.


Fri, April 17

New Moon in Aries

Sure, it’s a New moon and girl will witch if she so desires, but in 2026 I really advocate for keeping your practice purposely dialed down around this moon. We can come back to manifesting a new car, a new job and a new husband later.

This moon is - wait for it - MOMENTOUS, I know, so overused this astro jargon, but just consider the Aries traffic jam happening simultaneously. SO MUCH is happening with the world, with the collective timelines, it’s very war-like, it’s very fall of old idols and rise of new heroes, it gives overthrow the monarchy, save the democracy, fight first, negotiate later narrative. So, privately, in what I hope is a safety of your immediate home environment, can we just fucking chill for once?

By the time Friday rolls in, something inside you has already shifted, even if you haven’t put it into words yet. You might still feel slightly disorganized mentally, like you haven’t quite caught up with yourself, but the body knows. The instinct is there.

You might not be able to explain it to anyone else yet without sounding a bit vague or contradictory, and that’s fine. This one doesn’t need….

My transit-by-transit and sign-by-sign-guidance continues just below.

As per usual, in a zodiac-specific guidance, I’ll examine what plot twists this Aries Stellium week is trying to weave into your unfolding story, so that we meet this jet fueled ride with a little bit of prep (and the Universe laughed just now).

Begin with your Rising Sign. It maps the terrain of lived experience, where change becomes tangible and embodied. Your Sun Sign is still worth a peek too. That’s the main character energy, the ego and identity reacting to the plot twist.

The real feast is waiting below, just beyond the velvet rope for my subscribers, aka the absolute legends who’ve treated me to a coffee (aka my power potion).
