Welcome to the PiscesMoon Astrology podcast. Join me, Kait Leonard, to explore the week of 4/6 through 4/12. Wow!
Venus stations direct on April 12th—the same day as the Libra Full Moon—creating a cosmic portal for transformation in love, creativity, and self-worth. This rare alignment marks the culmination of a retrograde journey that began in late January, when old lovers may have returned, friendships evolved into something more, or you found yourself rethinking your approach to relationships.
The Full Moon in Libra illuminates where you've been people-pleasing at your own expense. With Venus (Libra's ruler) turning direct just hours away, you're cosmically supported to lovingly set boundaries and prioritize your needs without sacrificing connection. The Sun in Aries opposite this lunation forms a conjunction with wounded healer Chiron, suggesting profound healing is available through whatever completions or revelations emerge.
What makes this Venus direct station extraordinary is its proximity to Saturn, the planet of boundaries and commitment. For some, this brings the courage to end situations where you've given too much. For others, it signals making relationships "official" through deeper commitments. Either way, you'll feel the karmic rightness of whatever unfolds. This isn't the end of your love story—it's a pivotal turning point leading to something more aligned.
The week offers additional cosmic support with a Sun-Jupiter sextile on April 6th bringing expansive opportunities, Mercury meeting the North Node on April 10th delivering fated communications, and Mars forming a harmonious aspect with the North Node on April 11th energizing your destined path. Looking ahead, Venus will conjunct the North Node on April 17th, marking fated connections before entering bold Aries on April 30th and finally leaving its retrograde shadow on May 15th.
Whether you're healing old relationship patterns, deepening existing connections, or preparing for new love to enter, trust the cosmic timing. This Venus direct station combined with the Libra Full Moon offers a profound opportunity to close one chapter and begin writing the sequel—one where you honor both your own needs and your connections with others. Go out and seize the energies of the stars!

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello and welcome to Pisces Moon Astrology.
I'm your astrologer, kateLeonard, and I'm excited to
explore the stars with you.
Hey, everyone, welcome to theweek of April 6th through April
12th.
Wow, let's do this.
It's pretty exciting.
(00:23):
This is an interesting week.
We've got completions andforward momentum all rolled up
in the same seven-day period andI'm going to be focusing mostly
on the end of the week.
There's a lot going on.
I'll give you those dates, butthe big stuff I'm going to talk
about is happening on the 12thwhen listen, get ready, I know
(00:48):
you're excited Venus turnsdirect.
Yay right, venus turns directon the same day that we get a
full moon in Libra.
And who rules Libra?
You might ask, and probably youdon't, because you already know
this, but it's Venus.
That Venus that just is turningdirect the same day.
(01:11):
This is very, very big for allthings Venusian.
I'm talking love.
You know I'm talking love, butI'm also talking money and art
and beauty and comfort andluxury and all things Venus.
So let's get into all of this.
Before we do, I've got oneannouncement and it's different
(01:34):
than my usual and I'll give youthe dates for some of the other
big things that are happeningand then we'll get into the main
event.
Okay, so first for theannouncement I am collaborating
with a friend and colleague,jackie Tempera, over in Substack
.
Once a month Jackie writes alittle column called horoscopes
(02:00):
Let me try to pronounce thiscorrectly horoscopes Okay,
spelled with a W at thebeginning.
She says it's astrology forsluts.
So she is the writer, she's thecreator, she's the mastermind
behind the column.
But I am collaborating forastrological details and all of
that kind of thing and it comesout once a month.
(02:21):
I would love it if you would goon over and show her some love
Show us both some love on hersub stack.
It is so much fun y'all youneed to go over there and check
it out.
The take on astrology iscertainly different than what I
focus on, even in a week likethis where Venus is taking
center stage yet again.
(02:42):
I will put the link to her substack down in the show notes and
, yeah, go give her some loveand it's just a super fun column
.
So I think you're going to likeit.
While you're over there, goahead and subscribe to my very,
very free Pisces Moon sub stackand you'll get astrology content
(03:03):
plus some herbalrecommendations and some magical
practices and things like that,and it's really fun too.
That's Pisces moon.
It's always down in the shownotes.
Anywho, moving on, before I getinto Venus, there's a sextile.
I never really explained thissextile, which is a positive
(03:26):
angle, but it's an angle ofopportunity.
In other words, it's a positiveopportunity that you can grab
and make use of, or you can letit go and then it's kind of a
nothing right.
It doesn't turn bad if youdon't take advantage of it.
Anyway, there's a sextile onthe sixth between the Sun and
(03:46):
Jupiter.
This is our vitality, ourpublic persona, where we shine
in the world, meeting up withthe planet of expansion and
blessings and spirituality.
It is beautiful energy, and ifit weren't for what's going on
with Venus later in the week,this is what I'd be talking
(04:07):
about.
So you definitely want to beaware on April 6th that all
kinds of blessings are available.
This is also a good one forsetting intentions, making plans
around how you want to expand,how you want to shine more
brightly in the world.
It's brilliant.
(04:27):
Then, on 410, mercury, who's nowdirect, will merge with the
North Lunar Node.
This is the North Node ofdestiny.
Right, mercury going forward.
That's our ideas, it's ourcommunication.
Our ideas, it's ourcommunication, it's contracts,
(04:49):
it's all of that.
And when it hits for its finalpass, this series with the North
Node, this is destiny calling.
Whatever happens here, whateverideas you get, you writers
hello to my writer friendsinspired ideas.
Right, these are fated, theseare karmic.
These are the ideas, thestatements, the contracts,
(05:11):
whatever it is, these are thethings that you are truly meant
to be doing, right?
It's gorgeous.
I love it.
Then, on April 11th, mars isgoing to form a harmonious
aspect with the North Node, sothis is going to bring energy to
that path of destiny I'm alwaystalking about.
(05:33):
Right, when Mars makes thistrine, we're going to get that
boost of energy we've beenlonging for.
It's like great to see the pathbefore you, but I want to go
take a nap.
That's where we've been withMars in Cancer, and Mars is
still there.
This is not him at his best yet.
(05:53):
That's going to happen when hemoves into Leo but it is still
going to give us some energy aswe move along that path that
we're meant to be walking, thatfaded, faded path.
I'm pretty excited about thisweek, you guys, I really am.
Is everything perfect?
No, but is everything good?
(06:14):
Yeah, it's pretty exciting.
So hold on, let's get intoVenus.
How about that?
I'm going to try to have thisnot be confusing, because
literally two Venus relatedthings are happening within
hours of each other and,honestly, we're going to be
feeling this energy for a coupleof days ahead of time, and the
Venus part of it certainly forweeks.
(06:37):
What I'm talking about is we getthe full moon in Libra.
Libra is ruled by Venus, so howpowerful something like a full
moon is has a lot to do with howpowerful the ruler of that sign
is, because it's the ruler whokind of takes care of and
supports the moon during thislunation.
(06:59):
So Venus turning direct thatvery same day.
So Venus turning direct thatvery same day?
Astrologers, you'll hear us saya lot.
It's stationing direct.
When a planet stations, yes,technically it's direct, but if
we looked into the sky it willlook like it's just standing
still.
It is that place when thependulum swings all the way in
(07:22):
one direction and then hits thatfinal, that highest degree of
its swing, and it seems to justhang there for a second right
Before it slowly starts to pickup steam and gain that momentum
to move back the other way.
That's when the planet is likelaser, beaming its energy into
(07:44):
whatever's going on right thenit's not really moving, it's
just pounding its energy intoone spot, and that spot is
related to this full moon.
So let's talk about the fullmoon.
Full moons bring completion,but there are also times when
(08:06):
the moon is at its brightest, soit's this sort of fine line.
We're shining very brightly inthat area, but we're also ending
a cycle there, right, that isthe brightest light the moon
will shine, and then it willstart its waning phase and
decreasing in its light.
So this is that moment of glory, right as the culmination.
(08:29):
The ending is coming in, right?
Does that make sense?
So this is in Libra.
Libra's that people pleaser.
We have talked about thisbefore.
It's been a while, though.
Libra wants fairness, it wantseverybody to be okay, it wants
justice, it wants the good ofall, to the point that when
(08:52):
Libra's in its shadow, it can belike a people pleaser and a
martyr.
It's like I want everyone to beokay, so I will sacrifice my
well-being for the comfort andgood of everybody else.
Venus, being strong andstationing direct at this time,
(09:13):
is really energizing this pointand forcing us to look.
Full moon shines the light,right, so it's forcing us to
look at that place where maybewe're doing too much to make
everybody else okay and notenough to step into our own
(09:34):
okayness.
Right, our own power.
But when Venus is involved,it's a different kind of power,
right, it's that power offeeling real and whole and
comfortable.
Venus rules comfort,comfortable in our own skin and
our own space, and we can'ttruly feel that if we're only
(09:55):
thinking about everybody else.
It is time to close that chapter.
Full moon is the opposition ofthe moon and the sun.
So where is the sun shining?
The sun is shining over inAries.
That toddler.
That me, me, me, right?
So this is further evidencethat what we're supposed to be
focused on and putting ourenergy into is stepping into our
(10:20):
own power, standing in thespotlight, taking care of
ourselves.
But because it's a Venusrelated, it's not that selfish
like I'll step on your face ifthat's what I need to do to get
my way.
No, we're not talking about that.
This is a Venus ruled event andVenus is direct.
Yay, is a Venus ruled event andVenus is direct.
(10:46):
Yay, we're talking aboutlovingly letting other people
work out their own stuff.
I almost said it, but I didn'tWork out their own stuff and I'm
going to take care of me for awhile.
I'm doing it lovingly, but I'mdoing it.
I love this so much.
At the same time, we've gotVenus stationing direct and, oh
my goodness, on the 12th, whenthis is happening, it's bigger
(11:11):
than just a planet turningdirect, as if that's not already
big enough.
Especially when we're talkingabout Venus and you guys who are
waiting to hear about how yourrelationships are going to go.
I promise I'm getting there,but I want you to understand why
.
So Venus is getting ready.
When she stations direct, she'sone degree from Saturn.
What is Saturn rule?
(11:31):
Boundaries.
This is an exciting thing.
I know it doesn't sound like it.
You're like wait, I want to bein love and have a soul union
and all of that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you get to dothat.
Just hang on for a minute, Ipromise.
But what is that full moon about?
It's about lovingly releasingthat need to people please and
(11:54):
make everybody else okay andtaking care of ourselves.
What does that involve?
Setting boundaries.
Who's the ruler?
Venus?
She's hooking up with the godof boundaries.
Oh my gosh, we are going to beable to lovingly set our
boundaries.
Sorry to say that word so manytimes, but this is going to be
(12:14):
in all Venusian areas Art, love,money, our time, our work-life
balance.
Venus rules leisure activities,things we do for fun and for
relaxation.
So that sense of like.
No, I love my job, I love whatI do, but I am not putting in
(12:38):
20-hour days, seven days a weekanymore, because I also love me
and my life outside of work.
This is brilliant, you guys.
And what am I going to betalking about next week?
To start the week off, venusmoves into her conjunction with
what you know, I've been talkingabout it forever the North Node
(13:00):
of Destiny.
This is faded love, faded art,faded unions.
Where's it happening?
We are still in Pisces.
These are soul unions, karmicevents.
Oh my goodness, could this bebetter?
I don't think so, actually, andI am going to tell you the
(13:22):
downside of it.
But honestly, there reallyaren't that many and they're not
that big.
I think this is so good thatthe good is going to way.
Way be the dominant energy.
Right?
Let me just give it to you,since I've introduced this topic
about what could be thedownside.
Saturn rules boundaries, fullmoons have to do with
(13:42):
culminations.
So we've all been on this Venusretrograde picture, right, old
lovers.
I know I've said this so manytimes, I know you guys are
getting sick of it, but we'restill in that story, right?
We haven't closed this book yet.
We're getting ready to, thoughOld lovers coming back.
Are we going to be together nowor are we going to end it for
(14:03):
the final time and becomfortable in that ending?
New people have come into ourlives, but we're sort of is this
the person, is it not?
We're sort of renegotiating ourrelationships.
I cannot tell you, you guys,how many clients I've had over
the last couple of weeks who,friends, have turned into lovers
(14:26):
.
That's a Venus retrograde story, right, it's like we were
headed off because Venus rulesfriends.
She rules all relationships.
We were headed in one directionand now we're kind of
rethinking that.
Do we want to be besties or dowe want to hit the sheets, right
?
Okay, you know I think I'vebeen hanging around, jackie, a
(14:46):
little bit too much.
Jackie, I hope you're listeningto this.
This is your influence makingme think all smutty.
Anywho, this is a time that wecould see endings.
We may cut it off with theex-lover who came back around.
We may decide that a friendshipneeds to end because a love
(15:10):
story is beginning.
I just had a client.
I'm going to try to foranonymity.
I will just say that thisperson had had a professional
relationship with somebody thatover time, the attraction, the
mutual attraction, was veryclear and they literally had to
quit their professionalrelationship to be able to
(15:34):
ethically pursue the loverelationship.
That's the kind of endingswe're talking about during this
period.
For some of us it'll be wayeasier like, yeah, let's quit
being friends because I love you, right, it could be that kind
of thing.
For some it'll be sayinggoodbye to somebody.
But I promise you, this Venuslove story is not over.
(15:55):
And if it means cuttingsomebody out, setting those
boundaries and it's like nope,you need to go away and you need
to stay away this time, right.
One, you will feel the karmicrightness of that.
And two, I promise you, thelove story is still not over.
Somebody's coming in.
So don't worry, right, don't belike, oh my gosh, I thought I
(16:18):
was in a relationship.
Don't worry, it's coming.
We're not done yet, okay.
So that's the downside.
There could be some endings,but I don't believe they will be
tragic endings.
You'll feel the rightness of it, okay.
And then, like I said, next weekwe're going to talk about Venus
hitting the lunar node for thelast time as she passes over,
(16:42):
going direct.
This is super cool.
I cannot believe I almostforgot this.
I cannot believe I almostforgot this.
So, before I give you someimportant dates about Venus,
when I was talking about thefull moon sun over there in
Aries, I forgot to mention thatChiron the wounded healer.
So this is where trauma lives.
(17:02):
That Chiron the wounded healer.
So this is where trauma lives.
Right, chiron is with the sun.
So something very, very healingis likely to happen around the
time of this full moon.
So sorry about that, but that'sanother thing that's going on
during this gigantic event.
So, whatever's happening, ifit's that ending I was just
(17:23):
talking about, if it's a newlove, if it's some sort of
letting go of the peoplepleasing, setting boundaries,
whatever it is there's going tobe something very, very deeply
healing connected to it.
So maybe you've been holding onand people pleasing because you
thought you wouldn't be lovedor you weren't worthy of really
(17:46):
focusing on yourself Healing isgoing to happen around this time
.
So that's an extra thing thatI'm really glad I didn't forget
to talk about.
So I want to give you somedates for when all of this is
going to be happening.
So first, this whole retrogradestory started on January 28th,
(18:07):
depending on your time zoneright around there.
Okay, that's when Venus enteredher pre-shadow period.
So when you're trying to putyour story together and go, what
the heck is Kate talking about?
This is so confusing.
Think back.
What has been the theme Katetalking about?
This is so confusing.
Think back.
What has been the theme, what'sbeen the storyline around Venus
?
Kinds of issues love, art,money, leisure, beauty.
(18:29):
What's been the storyline sincethe end of January?
Things you've been doingrevisiting, rethinking.
Okay, that's when it allstarted.
Now we know she's turning directthis week, on the 12th again,
depending on your time zone.
I want to give you some datesof what's to come, just so that
(18:51):
if you are one of those peoplegoing through a tough time with
your creative project, lettinggo of an old lover that for a
minute you had some hopes for,whatever it was.
Venus is going to conjunct theNorth Node of Destiny on the
17th, so just next week.
We are going to see, feel,experience, that something
(19:14):
karmic and faded in this wholestory, in this Venus event.
Then, on April 21st, venus isgoing to hit the very exact
degree of conjunction withSaturn.
So even though she's been inthat conjunct energy this whole
time which is why I alreadybrought it up this week she's
(19:35):
going to hit the very, veryexact degree.
So this boundary setting timethat I was already talking about
, this is going to go on for abit.
We'll be exploring andredefining those boundaries and
sort of testing them out throughto about the 21st, 22nd, 23rd
(19:57):
in there.
That whole period is going tohave to do with those Saturn
kinds of themes.
Oh and, by the way, I know Iwas pointing out the sort of
down, not downside of formingboundaries, but you know that it
could bring about endings.
You know what else it could beabout.
I know you're going to likethis better, and especially
(20:18):
around that time when Venus isexactly conjunct Saturn.
Saturn also rules formality andtradition.
This is a time when, I don'tknow, some people are going to
get proposals.
It'll be that time when youmake it official.
That's what Saturn likes to domake things official and formal.
(20:42):
So some of us are going to besetting boundaries.
Some of us are going to beleaving ex-lovers, ex-art
projects or old art projects, Idon't know.
Some of us are going to bedoing that kind of thing.
Some of us are going to beputting a ring on it, just
saying but still, even then, weare not quite at the end of
(21:05):
everything.
On, right around April 30th,venus is going to move into
Aries and we're going to startfeeling emboldened.
We're going to start gettingsome of that.
It's like the love warrior,right, we're going to start
having courage and feel bold.
Now, in all fairness, venusdoesn't love being an Aries,
(21:28):
it's a Mars ruled sign, butstill, we're going to get some
kind of bolder energy aroundthat.
And then, finally, on May 15th,venus will leave her retrograde
shadow and this whole thing isdone.
(21:48):
We got forward momentum.
Mercury's going forward,everybody's going forward, mars,
it's just a forward kind oftime.
Right, venus leaves her shadowand we move into let's call it,
the sequel I've been using thismetaphor of like the next
chapter in this retrograde story.
(22:09):
Right, you can see the writerin me coming out Um, so we can
finally close that book.
It is done and we move on withthe sequel because of, of course
, our love stories aren't done,our art projects aren't done,
the new contracts we've signed,the way we've restructured our
(22:29):
work lives, all of those things.
They're not done.
But this back and forth dancewe've been doing is over and we
get to now move into the sequelright and continue on.
I am loving this.
Now some other stuff are comingup, you know before.
I mean, may's away is off andwe got stuff going on, but where
(22:53):
the Venus story is involved,I'm pretty happy.
So that's what I've got for youright now.
I know it's a lot.
I hope this, you know, inspiresyou and excites you.
I really hope you'll go over toJackie's horoscopes and get all
hot and bothered with her, withus, and while you're over there
(23:14):
, I really hope you'll subscribeto the Forever Free Pisces Moon
sub stack and please share thepodcast and beyond all of that.
Thank you, thank you, thank youso much for listening.
I'm super grateful and untilnext week, go out and seize the
energies of the stars.
This is my wish for you always.
(23:34):
Until then, bye, thank you.

This is not him at his best yet.
(05:53):
That's going to happen when hemoves into Leo but it is still
going to give us some energy aswe move along that path that
we're meant to be walking, thatfaded, faded path.
I'm pretty excited about thisweek, you guys, I really am.
Is everything perfect?
No, but is everything good?
(06:14):
Yeah, it's pretty exciting.
So hold on, let's get intoVenus.
How about that?
I'm going to try to have thisnot be confusing, because
literally two Venus relatedthings are happening within
hours of each other and,honestly, we're going to be
feeling this energy for a coupleof days ahead of time, and the
Venus part of it certainly forweeks.
(06:37):
What I'm talking about is we getthe full moon in Libra.
Libra is ruled by Venus, so howpowerful something like a full
moon is has a lot to do with howpowerful the ruler of that sign
is, because it's the ruler whokind of takes care of and
supports the moon during thislunation.
(06:59):
So Venus turning direct thatvery same day.
So Venus turning direct thatvery same day?
Astrologers, you'll hear us saya lot.
It's stationing direct.
When a planet stations, yes,technically it's direct, but if
we looked into the sky it willlook like it's just standing
still.
It is that place when thependulum swings all the way in
(07:22):
one direction and then hits thatfinal, that highest degree of
its swing, and it seems to justhang there for a second right
Before it slowly starts to pickup steam and gain that momentum
to move back the other way.
That's when the planet is likelaser, beaming its energy into
(07:44):
whatever's going on right thenit's not really moving, it's
just pounding its energy intoone spot, and that spot is
related to this full moon.
So let's talk about the fullmoon.
Full moons bring completion,but there are also times when
(08:06):
the moon is at its brightest, soit's this sort of fine line.
We're shining very brightly inthat area, but we're also ending
a cycle there, right, that isthe brightest light the moon
will shine, and then it willstart its waning phase and
decreasing in its light.
So this is that moment of glory, right as the culmination.
(08:29):
The ending is coming in, right?
Does that make sense?
So this is in Libra.
Libra's that people pleaser.
We have talked about thisbefore.
It's been a while, though.
Libra wants fairness, it wantseverybody to be okay, it wants
justice, it wants the good ofall, to the point that when
(08:52):
Libra's in its shadow, it can belike a people pleaser and a
martyr.
It's like I want everyone to beokay, so I will sacrifice my
well-being for the comfort andgood of everybody else.
Venus, being strong andstationing direct at this time,
(09:13):
is really energizing this pointand forcing us to look.
Full moon shines the light,right, so it's forcing us to
look at that place where maybewe're doing too much to make
everybody else okay and notenough to step into our own
(09:34):
okayness.
Right, our own power.
But when Venus is involved,it's a different kind of power,
right, it's that power offeeling real and whole and
comfortable.
Venus rules comfort,comfortable in our own skin and
our own space, and we can'ttruly feel that if we're only
(09:55):
thinking about everybody else.
It is time to close that chapter.
Full moon is the opposition ofthe moon and the sun.
So where is the sun shining?
The sun is shining over inAries.
That toddler.
That me, me, me, right?
So this is further evidencethat what we're supposed to be
focused on and putting ourenergy into is stepping into our
(10:20):
own power, standing in thespotlight, taking care of
ourselves.
But because it's a Venusrelated, it's not that selfish
like I'll step on your face ifthat's what I need to do to get
my way.
No, we're not talking about that.
This is a Venus ruled event andVenus is direct.
Yay, is a Venus ruled event andVenus is direct.
(10:46):
Yay, we're talking aboutlovingly letting other people
work out their own stuff.
I almost said it, but I didn'tWork out their own stuff and I'm
going to take care of me for awhile.
I'm doing it lovingly, but I'mdoing it.
I love this so much.
At the same time, we've gotVenus stationing direct and, oh
my goodness, on the 12th, whenthis is happening, it's bigger
(11:11):
than just a planet turningdirect, as if that's not already
big enough.
Especially when we're talkingabout Venus and you guys who are
waiting to hear about how yourrelationships are going to go.
I promise I'm getting there,but I want you to understand why
.
So Venus is getting ready.
When she stations direct, she'sone degree from Saturn.
What is Saturn rule?
(11:31):
Boundaries.
This is an exciting thing.
I know it doesn't sound like it.
You're like wait, I want to bein love and have a soul union
and all of that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you get to dothat.
Just hang on for a minute, Ipromise.
But what is that full moon about?
It's about lovingly releasingthat need to people please and
(11:54):
make everybody else okay andtaking care of ourselves.
What does that involve?
Setting boundaries.
Who's the ruler?
Venus?
She's hooking up with the godof boundaries.
Oh my gosh, we are going to beable to lovingly set our
boundaries.
Sorry to say that word so manytimes, but this is going to be
(12:14):
in all Venusian areas Art, love,money, our time, our work-life
balance.
Venus rules leisure activities,things we do for fun and for
relaxation.
So that sense of like.
No, I love my job, I love whatI do, but I am not putting in
(12:38):
20-hour days, seven days a weekanymore, because I also love me
and my life outside of work.
This is brilliant, you guys.
And what am I going to betalking about next week?
To start the week off, venusmoves into her conjunction with
what you know, I've been talkingabout it forever the North Node
(13:00):
of Destiny.
This is faded love, faded art,faded unions.
Where's it happening?
We are still in Pisces.
These are soul unions, karmicevents.
Oh my goodness, could this bebetter?
I don't think so, actually, andI am going to tell you the
(13:22):
downside of it.
But honestly, there reallyaren't that many and they're not
that big.
I think this is so good thatthe good is going to way.
Way be the dominant energy.
Right?
Let me just give it to you,since I've introduced this topic
about what could be thedownside.
Saturn rules boundaries, fullmoons have to do with
(13:42):
culminations.
So we've all been on this Venusretrograde picture, right, old
lovers.
I know I've said this so manytimes, I know you guys are
getting sick of it, but we'restill in that story, right?
We haven't closed this book yet.
We're getting ready to, thoughOld lovers coming back.
Are we going to be together nowor are we going to end it for
(14:03):
the final time and becomfortable in that ending?
New people have come into ourlives, but we're sort of is this
the person, is it not?
We're sort of renegotiating ourrelationships.
I cannot tell you, you guys,how many clients I've had over
the last couple of weeks who,friends, have turned into lovers
(14:26):
.
That's a Venus retrograde story, right, it's like we were
headed off because Venus rulesfriends.
She rules all relationships.
We were headed in one directionand now we're kind of
rethinking that.
Do we want to be besties or dowe want to hit the sheets, right
?
Okay, you know I think I'vebeen hanging around, jackie, a
(14:46):
little bit too much.
Jackie, I hope you're listeningto this.
This is your influence makingme think all smutty.
Anywho, this is a time that wecould see endings.
We may cut it off with theex-lover who came back around.
We may decide that a friendshipneeds to end because a love
(15:10):
story is beginning.
I just had a client.
I'm going to try to foranonymity.
I will just say that thisperson had had a professional
relationship with somebody thatover time, the attraction, the
mutual attraction, was veryclear and they literally had to
quit their professionalrelationship to be able to
(15:34):
ethically pursue the loverelationship.
That's the kind of endingswe're talking about during this
period.
For some of us it'll be wayeasier like, yeah, let's quit
being friends because I love you, right, it could be that kind
of thing.
For some it'll be sayinggoodbye to somebody.
But I promise you, this Venuslove story is not over.
(15:55):
And if it means cuttingsomebody out, setting those
boundaries and it's like nope,you need to go away and you need
to stay away this time, right.
One, you will feel the karmicrightness of that.
And two, I promise you, thelove story is still not over.
Somebody's coming in.
So don't worry, right, don't belike, oh my gosh, I thought I
(16:18):
was in a relationship.
Don't worry, it's coming.
We're not done yet, okay.
So that's the downside.
There could be some endings,but I don't believe they will be
tragic endings.
You'll feel the rightness of it, okay.
And then, like I said, next weekwe're going to talk about Venus
hitting the lunar node for thelast time as she passes over,
(16:42):
going direct.
This is super cool.
I cannot believe I almostforgot this.
I cannot believe I almostforgot this.
So, before I give you someimportant dates about Venus,
when I was talking about thefull moon sun over there in
Aries, I forgot to mention thatChiron the wounded healer.
So this is where trauma lives.
(17:02):
That Chiron the wounded healer.
So this is where trauma lives.
Right, chiron is with the sun.
So something very, very healingis likely to happen around the
time of this full moon.
So sorry about that, but that'sanother thing that's going on
during this gigantic event.
So, whatever's happening, ifit's that ending I was just
(17:23):
talking about, if it's a newlove, if it's some sort of
letting go of the peoplepleasing, setting boundaries,
whatever it is there's going tobe something very, very deeply
healing connected to it.
So maybe you've been holding onand people pleasing because you
thought you wouldn't be lovedor you weren't worthy of really
(17:46):
focusing on yourself Healing isgoing to happen around this time
.
So that's an extra thing thatI'm really glad I didn't forget
to talk about.
So I want to give you somedates for when all of this is
going to be happening.
So first, this whole retrogradestory started on January 28th,
(18:07):
depending on your time zoneright around there.
Okay, that's when Venus enteredher pre-shadow period.
So when you're trying to putyour story together and go, what
the heck is Kate talking about?
This is so confusing.
Think back.
What has been the theme Katetalking about?
This is so confusing.
Think back.
What has been the theme, what'sbeen the storyline around Venus
?
Kinds of issues love, art,money, leisure, beauty.
(18:29):
What's been the storyline sincethe end of January?
Things you've been doingrevisiting, rethinking.
Okay, that's when it allstarted.
Now we know she's turning directthis week, on the 12th again,
depending on your time zone.
I want to give you some datesof what's to come, just so that
(18:51):
if you are one of those peoplegoing through a tough time with
your creative project, lettinggo of an old lover that for a
minute you had some hopes for,whatever it was.
Venus is going to conjunct theNorth Node of Destiny on the
17th, so just next week.
We are going to see, feel,experience, that something
(19:14):
karmic and faded in this wholestory, in this Venus event.
Then, on April 21st, venus isgoing to hit the very exact
degree of conjunction withSaturn.
So even though she's been inthat conjunct energy this whole
time which is why I alreadybrought it up this week she's
(19:35):
going to hit the very, veryexact degree.
So this boundary setting timethat I was already talking about
, this is going to go on for abit.
We'll be exploring andredefining those boundaries and
sort of testing them out throughto about the 21st, 22nd, 23rd
(19:57):
in there.
That whole period is going tohave to do with those Saturn
kinds of themes.
Oh and, by the way, I know Iwas pointing out the sort of
down, not downside of formingboundaries, but you know that it
could bring about endings.
You know what else it could beabout.
I know you're going to likethis better, and especially
(20:18):
around that time when Venus isexactly conjunct Saturn.
Saturn also rules formality andtradition.
This is a time when, I don'tknow, some people are going to
get proposals.
It'll be that time when youmake it official.
That's what Saturn likes to domake things official and formal.
(20:42):
So some of us are going to besetting boundaries.
Some of us are going to beleaving ex-lovers, ex-art
projects or old art projects, Idon't know.
Some of us are going to bedoing that kind of thing.
Some of us are going to beputting a ring on it, just
saying but still, even then, weare not quite at the end of
(21:05):
everything.
On, right around April 30th,venus is going to move into
Aries and we're going to startfeeling emboldened.
We're going to start gettingsome of that.
It's like the love warrior,right, we're going to start
having courage and feel bold.
Now, in all fairness, venusdoesn't love being an Aries,
(21:28):
it's a Mars ruled sign, butstill, we're going to get some
kind of bolder energy aroundthat.
And then, finally, on May 15th,venus will leave her retrograde
shadow and this whole thing isdone.
(21:48):
We got forward momentum.
Mercury's going forward,everybody's going forward, mars,
it's just a forward kind oftime.
Right, venus leaves her shadowand we move into let's call it,
the sequel I've been using thismetaphor of like the next
chapter in this retrograde story.
(22:09):
Right, you can see the writerin me coming out Um, so we can
finally close that book.
It is done and we move on withthe sequel because of, of course
, our love stories aren't done,our art projects aren't done,
the new contracts we've signed,the way we've restructured our
(22:29):
work lives, all of those things.
They're not done.
But this back and forth dancewe've been doing is over and we
get to now move into the sequelright and continue on.
I am loving this.
Now some other stuff are comingup, you know before.
I mean, may's away is off andwe got stuff going on, but where
(22:53):
the Venus story is involved,I'm pretty happy.
So that's what I've got for youright now.
I know it's a lot.
I hope this, you know, inspiresyou and excites you.
I really hope you'll go over toJackie's horoscopes and get all
hot and bothered with her, withus, and while you're over there
(23:14):
, I really hope you'll subscribeto the Forever Free Pisces Moon
sub stack and please share thepodcast and beyond all of that.
Thank you, thank you, thank youso much for listening.
I'm super grateful and untilnext week, go out and seize the
energies of the stars.
This is my wish for you always.
(23:34):
Until then, bye, thank you.
