April Centered + Cyclical 2024

We are in the eclipse portal, how are you doing?!

This is a month very hosted by Mars - what do I mean by that? And what does it mean for you? Tune into the video below to learn more!

It’s about aligned action, but first, a pause, a reflection, a re-attunement to ourselves so we can integrate, settle, and then consciously shift

The shift is very centered on action, receiving, tuning into our confidence, faith and self-trust, balancing masculine and feminine ways of creating. Mars and Venus, the guides of our karmic axis journey are in each others’ signs, with Venus in Aries for most of the month, and Mars in Venus’ sign of exaltation, Pisces.

They’re very keyed into each other, and offering a reversal of traditional strategies, teaching each other a lot. This might be something you’re noticing around the masculine and feminine energies surrounding you in your life right now, and how that might be altering your creative process.

We often need to experience a major pattern interrupt to reset our creative flow, and reconnect with the reality of right now - we’re both being invited to fast forward in terms of possibilities, but also to slow down and really listen to what our instincts are telling us about the best way to move forward

We are then shifting the polarities again at the end of the month with Venus + Mars entering their own signs, which will bring some major forward motion.

This is all underscoring the high amplitude of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction happening April 20th, arguably the most important transit of the year, that has of course been somewhat ‘eclipsed’ by the attention given to the eclipse portal, a major energy shift in its own right. So this is a big month for change, growth, awakening, and liberation, and I fully intend to engage with it with as much conscious embodiment as possible, as that’s how we receive the Divine downloads with the greatest affect in our lives.

Apr 1: Mercury stations retrograde at 27° Aries 13’Rx

Apr 8: Total Solar Eclipse at 19˚24’ Aries

Apr 10: Mars conjunct Saturn 14˚41’ Pisces

Where our fear is, our desire is also

Whatever we want in life, we need to evaluate it (Jupiter-Uranus in Taurus) from the space of both what we desire about it, and what we fear about it, why we want it, and why we don’t want it

Moon translates light about 10 hours prior of this exact transit to bring the sextile of the energies between Saturn-Mars and Jupiter-Uranus

March 17: Sun conjunct Neptune 27˚22’ Pisces - reconnecting with Great Mystery

March 18: Mercury enters Rx Zone at 15°59’ Aries - start writing everything down, take note of what is about to potentially repeat itself in your thoughts or conversations, reflecting on self, courage, initiations

March 21: Venus conjunct Saturn 12˚26’ Pisces - big, practical love, bringing harmony and easy to what has been challenging, intuitive flow

March 22: Mars enters Pisces - spiritual warrior, warrior of healing, peace and love

March 25: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse at 5˚07' Libra (Solar eclipse April 8th) - tune into all you’ve been healing through relationally since last October’s eclipse season. How do you know yourself better?

March 29: Pallas Retrograde at  8˚36’ Sagittarius - remembering your Wild

March 31: Vesta enters Cancer - take good care of yourself

Great Awakening of Who You're Here to BE: Aquarius season conversations + invitations

Are you feeling the frequency of soul-aligned possibility?

I am 100% feeling it, and I’m so here for it.

We’re about to enter a powerful AIR season.

I say powerful, because that is the ultimate keyword for Pluto, and Pluto is re-entering Aquarius!!!

This is happening right as the Sun enters Aquarius as well. First the Sun connects with Pluto at 29˚ Capricorn, and then leads the way into the great unknown of the future we’re collectively co-creating.

Who are you ready to BE?

What patterns + structures are you graduating from, and what are you being invited to step into?

This is one of those choice-point kinds of times, where the choosing is happening not necessarily from having all of the info and being able to logically map out a linear strategy, but from something more ancient, more timeless, more cyclically aware, more whole-Self soulfully aligned.

We’re being asked to connect with some deeper level of soul-knowing, something beneath the surface of where our intuition has felt safe to go.

We’re being invited to turn our evolutionary power on in a new way, through tuning into our social relationships, our contribution to the collective, and leaning into the deep soul yearnings and urges that want to guide us to create something new.

Pluto can be described as destructive, and I probably don’t have to illuminate that too explicitly for you - just look anywhere in the news and you’ll find it.

But Pluto is also about regeneration, and sometimes the death process before the rebirth is down right ugly. It is painful, traumatic, disorienting, causes us to question our faith in life, and can cause all sorts of trauma responses like dissociation, depression, obsession, anxiety, and other forms of suffering.

Our job is not to avoid this part of the process, but to instead lean deeper into our tools of regeneration and transmutation. To love ourselves in all that’s coming up, to love ourselves through it.

It’s also about knowing what is ours to carry, and where we can be of service.

In a world that needs so much, it can be overwhelming if you don’t know where to start. This is why it’s crucial to know who YOU are, and YOUR gifts, and YOUR soul mission, so that you can authentically contribute to the collective in the way that only you can.

Maybe it’s through joining an already existing team or organization with like-hearted values and vision.

Maybe it’s through simply finding more creative and empowering ways to connect and relate with the people in your life that you’d like to co-create with.

Maybe it’s through giving yourself the space and time you need to re-member your Self, your gifts, what you naturally share just by being you, and what you value most, where you want to BE the solution.

It’s all good.

There’s not one way you’re supposed to show up. In fact, there is no “supposed to”.

But there is an invitation, and only you will be able to fully decode it for yourself.

Often it takes reminders from others, containers where you are held, invited to express in your wholeness.

It requires permission to listen to yourself, and permission to trust yourself. To trust the way you are being guided to Re-Source yourself.

These are the themes of our time, what we signed up for. This is the time you were born for.

The cosmos are making it pretty obvious with the North Node in Aries, combining with Pluto in Aquarius, combining with Jupiter approaching conjunction with Uranus, all being grounded by Saturn in Pisces…

There is so much happening, all vying for our attention, but with the Sun conjunct Pluto we have the opportunity to RESET OUR ATTENTION to where it matters most.

We can tune into our values (Jupiter + Uranus in Taurus) to see how we get to liberate our daily habits and routines to reconnect with our bigger soul level why (Pluto in Aquarius).

What are your practices for resetting your attention?

What are you being invited to simply look at in a new way?

What tools and spaces of empowerment and re-sourcing can be revealed by the light and illumination of your gaze, your energy?

These are questions we will want to continue asking ourselves, and bringing to the forefront of our conversations as we continue in the new era.

Two conversations that speak to these themes:

Aquarius Season is Way Far Out with Cayelin Castell of the Astro-Priestesses

*Even though they are centered on this month and the Aquarius solar season, these are themes that ground us into all of 2024 and beyond and are PACKED full of wisdom.

More FUN things I’m doing:

*Women’s Retreat in Mexico during April Eclipse portal


*Imbolc Circle February 4th at 10am PST - *more details to come, stay tuned

*I’ve added Horary Consultations (I graduated from the School of Traditional Astrology as an Horary practitioner!) + Quantum Human Design™ readings

*Re-Source Women: Feel so resourced that you can live your soul mission.

I’m initiating a whole new collective venture - please reach out if you would be interested in a research conversation with me while I’m in the developing phase. I intend this to be a collective venture, so your input is hugely appreciated! (Pluto in Aquarius applying to my Moon in Aquarius for the next 5 years…)

Key elements: Integrative modalities, community spaces and conversations, collaboration, learning, consulting + coaching organization, new business model, accessibility + integrated forms of collaborative prosperity, spiritual reconnection and empowerment. What do you feel is needed to support our community?

Tuning into reclamation, belonging, liberation, resourcing - these are the big themes this year’s astrology is all about.

How to resource and Re-Source, together.

Here to support you in reclaiming YOU,

Restorative Visioning, Reconnections + Relationships in 2024

Have you ever tried to force yourself to find an answer?

To receive a vision?

To gain clarity over something pressing in your life?

To finally, once and for all, know what on earth you should be doing?

This “forcing” is a common strategy of our inner manager, or our inner lawyer, who can hard-handedly justify any method, and argues that the more we hustle, grind, stress and strive for something, the more likely we are to achieve our goal.

That if we don’t have the life we want, or we’re not “where we thought we would be”, that we’ve done something wrong, didn’t try hard enough (which internally equates to: I am not enough).

Our inner perfectionist gets alllll rattled up. Our nervous system gets frazzled.

Maybe we become harder on ourselves, thinking that putting more pressure is the answer.

We’re often taught that we have to get MORE in our heads to try to “find the answer”.

This is old paradigm, and belittles the true essence of our inner wisdom and ways of knowing.

In my personal experience, that has rarely been successful. If anything, with that strategy I dug myself deeper into something disadvantageous for myself (and my loved ones), and it was never sustainable, because it wasn’t ME.

I’ve learned I have to completely let go of my mental efforting and SURRENDER.

Once any thought of something “missing”, or somehow I’m “not enough / wrong / dumb …” deceptively trickles in, that’s when I know I actually need to step away for a good long moment.

I have to go and do something completely different.

…Like take a walk (my dog loves this), do yoga (my body loves this), or read a book having nothing to do with my topic (my inner lifelong student loves this), go sit with the trees (my spirit guides love this), or take a trip (my husband loves this), go horseback riding and risk getting run into a tree (my inner adventurer loves this - this is what happened to my finger if you’ve seen it), do some painting or free writing (my inner creator loves this) or talk to my mom or my best friends (we ALL benefit from this)…. you get the picture.

Seeing my point?

There are actually quite a few potent benefits here.

Not only am I cross-pollinating and getting out of stagnation and into creative flow, I’m also renewing and restoring myself by creating inner space.

I’m reconnecting with my instinctual, intuitive ways of knowing, and there is something more wholistic here, that organically reconnects and restores me.

(This cross-pollination and returning to instinctive ways of knowing will be big themes with so much AIR and FIRE breathed into this year.)

Trying to force an answer is like trying to “find” inner peace.

We don’t find it by reaching outside ourselves and trying to bring something inside.

Like Feng Shui or other energy clearing practices, it’s typically about letting things that are not serving OUT, and creating INNER SPACIOUSNESS instead.

When we create the inner space through our restorative practices, inner peace naturally emerges.

With inner peace comes a relaxed nervous system.

With a relaxed nervous system, come the ideas, the inspiration, the intuitive messages, the clarity, the answers.

A lot of times the answer for me is to simply spend more time doing the restorative activities, flexibly re-incorporating these as my baseline rather than a go-to when I’m feeling stretched thin.

We all know that self-care is imperative.

But when we tune into self-care in a restorative way, we go beyond taking the occasional nap (which of course is heavenly), but we go deeper into restorative PLAY.

Restorative VISIONING.

Restorative RECONNECTIONS and RELATIONSHIPS.

We go deeper into becoming the solution to whatever we were externally seeking, and realize it’s all within.

We benefit so much from having community spaces of restoration and reconnection.

We most often (re)find ourselves when we’re safely connected in circle, hearts open with other people.

We receive the gentle reminders, and have the subtle “ahas” that can be absolutely life changing.

This was never meant to be something we do all on our own.

In an isolating age where we are continually pressed for our time, resources and attention, it’s never been more important to go back to the basics of Self-Restoration, and remembering that we are connected to something bigger than us.

Self-Restoration is more than taking good personal care. It’s a lifestyle.

It’s about reconnecting with our true essence, our evolutionary intention, reclaiming our power, our big why for our lives — why we came here to do this beautiful human experience.

RECONNECTIVE RESTORATION is my intention for 2024 -

and is why my programs and offerings this year will focus on staying rooted, grounded, and restorative, choosing change with self-loving conscious intention.

Top of the list is our retreat!!!! I am co-hosting with fellow Soul-Embodied Restorer of Magic + Mystery Mary Wagstaff, in Troncones, Mexico, this April 6-13.

Yes we will be there during the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries, exploring and embodying the practical magic of astrology. This is a perfect time for intentional RESET + RECALIBRATION.

Yes this Eclipse will be conjunct Chiron, inviting us deeper into healing and instinctual restorative play.

Yes we will be activating sacred timelines and invoking the power of the Wood Dragon to help us scaffold for empowered creation.

Yes this circle will be full of like-hearted sisters who are on a similar journey and Soulful Reconnection and creative Self-Restoration.

We will be with the Ocean Goddess herself, supporting us in our integration process. (There may be some wild, cathartic screams let loose beneath the waves.)

This retreat is called “Ignite Your Vision”, invoking the bold, fiery strategy of Aries, but there is also a deep surrender and softness underneath it.

We will be held by Saturn + Mars in Pisces, Jupiter + Uranus in Taurus, and Venus + a Mercury retrograde in Aries helping us to come to intuitive, bold insights (Mercury retrogrades are great for reflection and restoration).

It’s the loving care of Great Mother herself holding us, restoring us, nurturing the vision we’ve been seeded with since we were born.

What we’re inviting you to reconnect with is not something outside of you, but rather the essence you were BORN with.

The VISION is YOU.

YOU are the VISION.

This is why you chose to come here as who you are, at this time.

2024 is a year full of choices and crossroads.

The astrology is off the hook.

(Check out a general overview with the Astro-Priestesses here, a talk on January with Mark Borax and Amanda from Astrology Hub here, or more personalized 2024 transits for your sign here).

If this message of RESTORATION in sacred RECONNECTION speaks to you, we’d love for you to check out our retreat in Mexico.

To Re-Ignite Your Vision, your Soul Mission, to simply Remember how we are stronger TOGETHER.

Check out the Retreat details here.

We hope to see you there.

May you trust yourself,
know your gifts,
and confidently create,
