Welcome to the Astro Forecast for April 14th -20th, 2025!
Wednesday, April 16th – Mercury enters Aries - Mercury, the planet of communication, moves into bold and direct Aries, bringing sharper thinking, quick decisions, and assertive conversations. This transit favors taking action on ideas and speaking with confidence. However, be mindful of being too blunt or impatient.
Thursday, April 17th – Mercury conjunct Neptune at 0° Aries - This dreamy aspect blends logic (Mercury) with intuition (Neptune), creating a highly imaginative and spiritual energy. However, it can also bring confusion, misunderstandings, or deceptive thinking. It's an excellent time for creativity, journaling, or meditative practices, but not ideal for making big decisions.
Friday, April 18th – Mars enters Leo (Finally, after 4 months in Cancer!) - Mars moves into fiery, confident Leo, bringing a surge of passion, motivation, and courage. After months of emotional processing in Cancer, this shift invites bold self-expression, leadership, and taking action without hesitation.
Saturday, April 19th – Sun enters Taurus - Taurus season begins, shifting the focus to stability, sensuality, and grounding. This is a time to slow down, enjoy life’s pleasures, and build sustainable foundations. Patience and persistence become key themes. Happy Birthday Taurus!
Mars at 0° Leo trine Neptune at 0° Aries - This flowing aspect between action (Mars) and spirituality (Neptune) brings an intuitive approach to leadership and passion. It supports inspired action, creativity, and a sense of divine guidance.
Sunday, April 20th – Venus sextile Uranus - Love, money, and creativity take an exciting turn under this aspect. Unexpected opportunities in relationships or finances may arise, bringing fresh energy and a break from routine.
Mercury sextile Pluto - Deep, transformative conversations arise under this transit. Mercury, the planet of communication, works well with Pluto, bringing psychological insight, powerful realizations, and the ability to influence through words.
Sun square Mars - Tension between stability (Taurus) and action (Leo) may create frustration, impatience, or power struggles. You may feel torn between playing it safe and taking bold risks. Finding balance between persistence and flexibility is key.

@SheetalStory, or wherever youlisten to this podcast.
Let's dive in and start thistransformative journey together.
Welcome to the Story of Spiritpodcast.
Welcome to the Astro forecastfor the week of April 14th
through to the 20th.
There is energy shifting in theair.
(01:50):
Can you feel it?
Venus went direct last week,mercury went direct the week
before April 7th and we now haveplanets changing signs.
The energy is starting to pickup momentum this week, but we're
still not out of the retroshade period, so I'll talk about
that in a moment.
So we start out the week on athird quarter phase of the moon,
(02:10):
in Scorpio, which means thatthe moon is losing light.
It's a time now of taking stockof what is reaping the benefits
of all the hard work thatyou've put in.
Scorpio is bringing us thesupport of uncovering or
discovering or investigatingdeep things that are lying
within, or sort of uncoveringsecrets, if you will.
(02:31):
Research really great for that.
And Scorpio also helps us tobring light to the darkness.
So this is a week now where youare really going to see.
All the hard work that you'vebeen putting in during the
retrograde periods is going tocome up now for you to take
action.
So if you think about retrogradeperiods being a time when
you're in the classroom, whenyou're incubating, you're in the
(02:52):
cocoon Now, as the planet goesdirect, now you're being asked
to step out of the cocoon intothe world, into the life lessons
, and say what did you learnRight?
It's different than learning alesson in therapy, than applying
it in real life.
What did you learn right?
It's different than learning alesson in therapy than applying
it in real life.
And that's what this week is.
It's real life, y'all.
So on wednesday, april 16th, wehave mercury moving into aries.
(03:12):
So mercury was in aries alreadywhen it went retrograde.
So mercury went direct, uh, atnine degrees of aries on march
15th.
Then, as it started to goslower than the earth, but
backwards in the zodiac,mathematically went back to 26
degrees of Pisces and then wentdirect on April 7th.
(03:33):
It will not be back to itsoriginal nine degree position
before the retrograde of Ariesuntil April 26th.
So we call that period of timethe the retro shade.
Between April 7th and April 26thwe are going to be going over
the degrees that we were goingthrough in life between March
(03:54):
1st and March 15th.
So that was sort of.
If you look back on yourcalendar, I want you to take
these dates down and start tofigure out in your life what
does this mean for you?
This is where we get theinsight and using the cycles
from astrology to help us buildan awareness of ourself and
start to repattern the thingsthat we are wanting to repattern
(04:15):
to change our identity, tomatch the future person that we
want to be, to have the lifethat we desire, or the things
that we desire.
So if you think about from March1st to March 15th, you were
thinking about something, doingsomething.
Maybe you were putting someenergies into doing something or
creating something, or planningsomething for the future.
Then, from March 15th to April7th, all of that got turned
(04:40):
around.
Either it got reviewed,reassessed, relined.
You decided you're going toscrap this.
Add that I don't know if thisis what I'm supposed to be doing
.
I feel like I'm a messed upturd.
You know that's you sendinglove.
And from April 7th now to April26th, you will now put in place
a new course of action, reviseyour old plan, or maybe do
(05:02):
something along the lines ofwhat you were originally
planning, but with some tweaksin it.
So those are sort of like someideas to kind of help you start
to see this pattern in your lifeand it's something that you
were thinking about, that youmight be dreaming about, that
you might have been talkingabout writing about.
You're thinking about writing abook, or some topics might have
come to you about starting apodcast like anything that uses
(05:23):
your voice, your communication,your intellect, your.
A podcast like anything thatuses your voice, your
communication, your intellect,your intellectual property, like
anything of that nature,because Mercury is the mind, so
anything that's created from themind, anything that you're sort
of voicing out into the world,and your voices are
manifestation to all.
So what are you talking about,dreaming about, thinking about?
So all of that will have gonethrough a massive revision from
(05:46):
when it originally is inception,from March 1 to March 15.
If you I can already hear aquestion if, what?
If I was thinking about itbefore March 15?
No problem.
But if it was something you werethinking about, talking about,
dreaming about, during theperiods of time of March 1 and
March 15, you likely will seethis now in a whole new light If
you decided to stick your headin a hole and do nothing about
(06:06):
it.
This period of time now, fromApril 7th to April 26th, is
going to be a little harder foryou, because you're going to be
seeing all the ways that you'vebeen holding yourself back or
all the ways that this plan isnot going to work for you, or
it's not working for you becauseyou have trauma or blocks that
are sabotaging your forwardmomentum.
So, either way, the outcome isthe outcome, right, you're going
(06:29):
to.
If you're dreaming about it, ifit's in your heart, it's meant
for you and the universe willget you there.
So you get to do it eitherthrough ease and flow with the
cycle or fight the cycle and youknow, a little bit more
struggle, but you're going toget there.
You're going to get there.
So I always say to my clientsall roads lead you to where
you're supposed to go.
You can just choose the scenicroute or you can choose the
(06:50):
longer, the faster journey.
The scenic route is the longerversion of it.
The faster route is the direct.
Let's heal this, let's developthis, let's see what's blocking
myself forward and let's dosomething about this.
And we're using these cycles toto help you circumvent some of
those longer journeys.
If you need the longer journey,so be it.
(07:10):
Nothing is bad, it's allneutral.
On Thursday, april 17th, we haveMercury coming to sit with
Neptune.
We call it a conjunction inastrology at the zero degree
mark of Aries because Neptunehas been sitting there for a
little bit.
So we pay attention.
They're called anoretic orcritical degrees in astrology
and there's a zero degrees andthen 29 degrees and there's some
(07:32):
other complicated onesdepending on cardinal, fixed or
mutable.
We won't talk about that rightnow, but a zero degree is very
potent.
And why is it potent?
It's the beginning degrees ofthe sign.
Right, the planet is trying toget its bearings.
Think of like a baby giraffethat just come out of its mama
and it's trying to figure outhow to use its legs.
That's a zero degree energy.
We're trying to sort out hownow to be at the zero degree
(07:54):
mark of Aries.
Aries is about your spark oflife, your passion, that
initiation, the entrepreneur,the bold, courageous adventurer.
You know that goes first.
It's a leadership sign.
So when you're going first, doyou have the playbook?
No, right, the Aries are makingthe playbook.
As they go along, they'repaving the way for the people
behind them.
So it's not inherently a verysafe and certain place to be and
(08:19):
as a collective, we are movingthrough this degree in space.
That is very new to us becauseNeptune hasn't been here for 156
years, so it's 164, 165,something like that.
It's over 150 years.
So this is a new space for usto be in and as a generation,
none of us have lived throughthis.
(08:40):
So Neptune, at the zero degreemark itself, is about being a
spiritual warrior, being ormaybe even uncovering truths
about people who are saying thatthey're leaders and they're not
.
You know, it's kind of bringinglight to truth or light to the
darkness.
Neptune is a spiritual sign.
It's one love, it's connectionto source, it's empathy,
(09:02):
compassion, wanting creativity,huge, huge creativity, that real
connection to our spirit.
And Aries is a sign of spark,of leadership, of
entrepreneurship.
So, with Mercury here now, nextto Neptune, this aspect blends
logic, which is Mercury, andintuition, which which is
(09:22):
Neptune.
So this is a very highlyimaginative, creative and
spiritual energy.
This is a really great day tomanifest, to think about what we
want to bring into the future.
If you're wanting to createsomething, if you're wanting to
paint, do pottery, create a newcourse, write a manual, write a
(09:42):
book, this would be a reallygreat day for that.
However, it can also bringconfusion, misunderstandings and
deceptive thinking.
You're like how will I know thedifference exactly?
How will you know thedifference?
It's a time of dropping intoyour soul and noticing what
feels right, what's movingforward and what feels stuck,
(10:03):
what is throwing up roadblockafter roadblock.
If youblock, if you decide youwant to write a book and
actually have a dear friendwho's right now has a book
opportunity for you to write achapter in a book that she's
publishing, that helps get yourstory out into the world and
there's a cost to that.
So if you decide you want to gofor that and you're like, oh,
I've got this money to puttowards a book, and all of a
(10:24):
sudden you get a bill from notnow, right, not now.
If you said I'm not meant towrite a book, my friends, we
need to do some healing there,because if it's coming from your
heart, it's meant for you to do, but the universe is always
right, timing you.
So if it's not now, then when?
(10:45):
Guess what?
My friend will probably writeanother book.
This is her third book in thisseries.
So you know, or you could writeyour own book.
Like you know, there's there'sso many ways forward.
It's not just this path.
When we hold on to just thispath, we then lock off, block
off the universe for showing usdifferent ways that this can
(11:05):
happen and let it be easy.
Right, let it be easy if.
If the CRE comes calling forthat money, then okay bless,
thank CRA.
It means I made a lot of money.
I'm so happy to give this moneyto you.
And this book opportunity willcome around in a different way.
That is, being regulated asopportunities and uncertainty
presents in your path.
This week is going to call youto become more regulated than
(11:29):
ever, because uncertaintyabounds in many ways.
So this is not a time to makebig decisions.
Right, mercury is going intoAries at zero degrees.
You don't have all theinformation, but the zero degree
mark of Aries can be veryimpatient, very erratic, very.
You know you're kind ofimpulsive that's the other one
very impulsive.
(11:50):
So we're not wanting to makeimpulsive decisions that we
regret later.
So what guards againstimpulsivity?
Planning logic, discernment,using your resources wisely,
give yourself space.
Right?
I had someone in my communityand actually someone who I care
very deeply about decide toreschedule their wedding.
(12:11):
Right, reschedule their wedding, and I was ecstatic for them.
There's nothing wrong withwaiting.
It's actually going to bringyou more clarity, more money,
more you know, amazingopportunity.
You're going to know what'sright for you.
And if you have an opinionabout someone rescheduling their
wedding, then that's more aboutyou, isn't it Right?
I did share that with myhusband that this person is
(12:35):
rescheduling their wedding andhe's like, oh, is everything OK?
And I was like everything ismore than OK.
Right, they get to save up moremoney, they get to be present
for what's happening in theirlife right now, because the
reschedule is because there's somuch things happening at one
time during that time that theywanted to get married.
So they're like, well,obviously then the marriage
doesn't feel like it's a goodfit.
(12:56):
It should be a time where wecan focus on it and have
foundation everywhere else inour life.
And I was like, yes, yes, girl,celebrating your decision on
that.
What's meant for you will findyou.
This is just going to bringmore clarity and more
amazingness to that relationship.
So see where you can accessdeep intuition and creative
inspiration.
On this day, which is Thursday,and this week.
(13:17):
This aspect is going to be inplay this whole week not a time
to make big decisions, and Venusjust going direct on Saturday
also not a great time to makebig money moves to Friday, april
18.
We have Mars finally finallymoving into Leo.
Oh my gosh, I feel like I wantto celebrate.
(13:38):
I want to celebrate this likethe astrological new year,
because Mars is our egoic willto move forward.
It is our motivation, orpassion, or drive to create
forward momentum in our life.
And Mars has been retrogradefor a freaking long time and
retrograde in cancer.
Cancer is a sign that it doesn'tlike to be in.
(14:00):
Ironically, it's a sign that Ihave my Mars born into.
You know, bless my cancer Mars.
I have such a heart for women,for intuition, for helping
people who need safety, creatingsafety for people.
That's why people tell me theirstories and bless my Mars.
But it's not great for thecollective, you know.
It's really not.
(14:20):
We're not moving anywhere.
We're sitting in this soupyemotional place of like.
I don't know.
Do I feel?
How am I feeling?
So when Mars moves into Leo?
Leo is a fire sign.
It's a fixed fire sign.
It rules creativity,self-expression, love, children.
It is a sign that likes nicethings.
It likes to show up, have agood party, enjoy life.
(14:43):
This is a time, my friends,when we are going to enjoy life.
This is the energy starting tomove ahead.
And if you've been sitting inthis soup of emotions, like I
have been, I've been in thecocoon liquefying this energy,
like if you can hear it in myvoice, like I'm literally
channeling it in this moment.
(15:03):
So, after four months, marsfinally moves out of Cancer.
Mars moves into fiery,confident Leo, bringing a surge
of passion, motivation andcourage.
After months of emotionalprocessing in cancer.
This shift invites boldexpression, leadership and
taking action without hesitation.
But Mercury just went retro, isstill in retro shade until
(15:29):
April 26.
So hang tight for another fewmore days.
You know it's not going to be,it's only eight more days and
you're going to then feel like,okay, like green light,
everything you can move ahead.
Now.
Venus is still going to be inretro shade until May 16th, but
you know what Venus she's abouta love and value.
(15:49):
And it's okay, it's all, it'sall good.
As soon as Venus moves intoAries, there's going to be more
energy for again that thatfieriness to come in.
So don't worry, you know it'sall moving forward.
Now, if you're feeling that fireand passion coming back, go do
it.
Do the thing you know it's time.
If you're feeling like, ah,you're starting the engine
(16:11):
starting to warm up and you'restarting to pick up speed,
perfect timing.
And if you feel like you'restill in the cocoon sending you
love, there's no right or wrongtiming, it is all neutral.
But I'm giving you the energyinformation for the forecast
that's coming in this week.
If you feel the fire startingto surge, I'm excited for you,
(16:34):
I'm excited for me, because it'sgoing to happen for me too.
I can feel it.
I can feel it, and Leo is a bigpart of my chart as well, so
I'm excited for that.
And again, if you are now goinginto the winter of your chart,
that's okay, too right.
This forecast is more so forthe public in terms of what's
affecting the collective,because it's the energy that's
(16:55):
coming onto this planet at thistime.
So if it's not the same foryour chart because you have a
different resonance or signaturein your chart, it's okay, it's
all right.
You know I take this with agrain of salt and be interested
in that.
Maybe this might hit your.
You know your children's chartsor your husband's chart or your
boss's chart.
You know noticing what'shappening in the world as it
pertains to some of this energy.
(17:15):
It does have an effect on thisplanet.
So something to think about.
On Saturday, april 19th, we havethe sun entering Taurus.
Some of my most favorite peopleare Tauruses and you know true
story, most of the coaches I'vehad are Taurus.
Which Taurus rules money, whichI think is quite interesting.
(17:36):
So Taurus season begins,shifting the focus to stability,
sensuality and groundedness.
Taurus is a fixed earth sign.
It is the most dependable, moststubborn.
It is very long term.
It's very much about thinkingabout the future, no-transcript
(18:15):
resources as well Mother Nature.
I always like to think of it aslike Ferdinand the Bull, you
know, with the flowers in itshair and its well, not really
hair in its horns, and just likeloving a Taurus that just loves
so deeply.
It's a very nurturing sign.
So it's a time to slow down,which is so interesting because
(18:37):
we have all this fire energycoming in, with Mars and Leo and
Mercury moving into Leo.
Venus is going to move into Leoor, sorry, aries and Mercury is
going to move into Aries.
So there's a lot of fire comingin from other places and you
know what this is blessings fromthe universe, because we can't
have all everything in fire.
We would just burn this planetto the ground, you know
(18:58):
everybody would be runningaround with their hair on fire.
We need, you know, fun partyloving likes to dress and look
nice.
This is a good time to enjoysome really delicious food with
(19:21):
good friends.
Patience and persistence are keythemes during Taurus season.
So happy birthday, taurus.
You are such a beautiful souland I just see you and I'm so
thankful that you are on thisplanet at this time.
All right, and then, roundingout, saturday, we have Mars
trying to Neptune.
No, because Neptune's at zerodegrees of Aries.
(19:41):
Remember we had that chat.
Now Mars is at zero degrees ofLeo.
So this energy is really potent.
Right, mars is zero degrees ofLeo is like oh, I'm trying to
figure out how to shine my lightand how to be seen in the world
and oh, I'm a little bit scaredthat people will judge me.
Leo at 29 degree is likebitches.
Look at me.
(20:01):
I'm here to be seen and you'renot going to dim my light
because I'm going to mess withyou if you do so.
That's the difference betweenzero degree, right, we're baby
giraffe trying to figure out ourenergy.
29 degree is throwing it inpeople's face.
It's learning.
Did you learn the lesson of Leo.
The lesson of Leo is to learnwhat your voice is, to put that
out into the world so that wecan amplify each other and
(20:23):
elevate this planet, which isAquarius, the opposite sign of
Leo.
So we need that balance.
We need you to know what yourvoice is.
We need you to know what yourpurpose is.
We need you to shine that lightright, that fiery light.
Leo rules the heart, so Mars inLeo is literally the heart, so
bringing that heart energy withyou to everywhere you go.
(20:45):
So the flowing aspect of thesetwo, this trine, is a very
helpful aspect.
It's the most harmonious aspectof the Zodiac.
It's a 120 degrees.
So this flowing aspect betweenaction, mars and spirituality,
neptune brings an intuitiveapproach to leadership and
passion.
It supports inspired action,creativity and a sense of divine
(21:05):
guidance.
So this is going to amp up ourintuition take action on
spiritual, creative dreams.
And if you're feeling likethere's a lack of direction or
you're kind of feeling likeyou're a little fired up but
you're kind of scared to takeaction or scared to be seen
taking action, it can look likepassive aggressiveness.
This is, this can be passive,aggressive energy, where you
(21:28):
don't know really your purpose,you're not standing in your
power, so you're making snideremarks or you're noticing
people who have more than you.
You know that can be jealousytoo, and noticing in that energy
it's a lack mentality, becauseit makes you feel like you can't
have that.
And where did you learn that?
Because you can have anythingyou want.
You just can.
You can work for it, you canwin it, you can partner up with
(21:52):
somebody else to get it, likethere's many paths forward into
your dreams and to the thingsthat you desire.
And if you hold it apart fromyourself and you hate it, so if
I hate the wealthy, then I'llnever be wealthy, right?
If I hate people that havesomething, or I'm jealous of
somebody, it's actually sayingto the universe I don't think I
can have that, right?
That's that's for them, not forme.
(22:13):
I really want it, though, right?
But so instead of saying that,say to yourself thank you for
showing me what's possible and Ican have that too.
Thank you for showing me what'spossible and I can have that
too.
And if there's part of you thatfeels like I can't have that,
then that's where you need to dothe healing.
Where did you learn that?
(22:33):
Who told you that?
Why do you believe that to betrue?
Because it's not true.
It's literally.
There's no evidence to showthat you can't have that.
So, sunday, april 20th Venus issextile to Uranus.
Venus is what we love and value.
She's just started to movedirect, and Uranus is a planet
of higher active of Mercury.
It's genius energy.
(22:54):
In this way, it's also out ofthe box thinking ingenuity.
So love and money, which isVenus, and creativity, take an
exciting turn.
Under this aspect, unexpectedopportunities in relationships
or finances can arise, bringingfresh energy and a break from
routine.
So this is going to feel likesomeone says, hey, you want to
(23:15):
go see a movie and then you endup going for dinner afterwards
and you guys have a marveloustime and you didn't plan for it.
So today, the answer is yes,right, if somebody offers you an
unexpected, like invitation tosomething this is about
adventure and unexpected twistto your day Say yes, right.
The other way this can manifestis you start surfing the web
(23:37):
and you see all these wonderfuldeals on things and you spend a
lot of money.
So being discerning with howyou're using your resources,
venus, and that it's inalignment with what you love and
value.
And then, sunday, we have twomore aspects.
On Sunday, sunday, april 20th,we have Mercury sextile to Pluto
(23:57):
and this is deep,transformative conversations,
insights, psychological insights, deep, powerful realizations.
This is like powerful words too.
This is a really good one towrite under.
Uh, if you want to write allyour social I do my social media
posts on sundays this is a goodone to channel that energy into
(24:17):
.
Like, how do we move the needlefor people, or how do we speak
to deep parts of our, fromourselves to others, or speak to
the deep parts of others tohelp bring healing to it.
So so this is really good forresearch as well.
You know, digging up things,investigating, checking out your
best friend's new boyfriend andtrying to get all the deets and
(24:39):
receipts on them.
This is a good day to do that.
Not that I encourage that.
So this is a great day toreally speak your truth and be
in authenticity and be carefulof being too opinionated or too
overpowering with this energy.
Pluto is very powerful energy,so if it's coming into your
speaking, you can use it forgood.
Or, you know, with great powercomes great responsibility.
(25:01):
Have you heard that one beingvery powerful, being aware of
how your words are beingreceived?
You can use that Neptunianenergy that's coming in to feel
if the words are being receivedproperly or if you're triggering
people and there's aninvitation there for people to
step up and say that they'retriggered or for you to
acknowledge hey, I just want tocheck that you received that or
the way that you did.
(25:22):
You hear what I had to say,because I'm feeling like I kind
of might have there's somethingthat's not quite sitting right
with you.
You can, you could call it out,or if you feel like that's too
confrontational, you can letthem tell you, or you can let
the relationship fall apart,which is great under this
transit as well.
So it falls apart over amisunderstanding.
It probably wasn't, was onshaky ground to begin with.
(25:43):
And then the last transit ofthis week, setting us up kind of
for next week, is on againSunday, april 20th, and it's the
sun, square Mars.
This is going to be the mostchallenging aspect of the week,
so it's also kind of setting usup for next week too.
So the sun is our vitality, ourenergy.
(26:04):
It's in Taurus, so that thatyou know that grounded earth,
mother kind of energy, and Marsis at the zero degree mark of
Leo, so that Leo, tension isabout being seen.
It's about look at what I didand are you recognizing my gifts
(26:24):
and talents, my contributionsthat I made?
This is a frustrating aspect.
My contributions that I made.
This is a frustrating aspect.
So this tension betweenstability, taurus, and action,
leo, can create frustration,impatience and power struggles.
Which is Mars.
Mars is our egoic will to moveforward.
So when our ego is triggered,we can get upset, we can yell
(26:44):
right, we can close down, butthis energy is not closed down.
These are two fire signs, sorry, one earth and one fire sign.
But Mars in a fire sign is verytriggering and Leo inherently
needs to be acknowledged.
Right, and there's nothingwrong with that.
Right, if I do something, I havea Leo, leo, venus, and so my
(27:05):
kids know that, like I will doanything for you, you just have
to say thank you.
Just say thank you.
Right, if you take me forgranted, you best believe you're
going to see triggered Sheetal,step forward, because I don't
enjoy that, or I will leave thesituation.
I can't leave my kids, so theywill know, you know that I don't
like it when you don'tacknowledge what I do for you.
(27:26):
I've had that conversation withthem and my love language is
that, in that case, is words ofaffirmation.
Thank you, mom, for picking meup from school.
You're welcome.
Thank you for saying thank you.
That's actually what I'll say.
Thank you for saying thank youBecause I feel seen.
I feel like you're appreciatingme.
When I feel unappreciated, myLeo Venus becomes irate, so I
(27:50):
can feel when that happens.
And does everyone have toappreciate me?
No, but I think the people whoare important in my life if I'm
doing something for you and youkeep taking me for granted,
you'll probably see that I willnot be there next time and
that's for me, yeah.
Is that a trauma?
I think it's a boundary.
You know, I've set thatboundary because I used to have
(28:11):
zero boundaries.
You know I just do and do anddo for everybody because I
wanted people to like me and Irealized now that I'm likable
without that, so I don't need todo that.
So if I do something for you,it's because I love you.
You know I genuinely love you.
So you might feel torn betweenplaying it safe and taking a
bold risk.
You know, I feel like that's afluffy way of saying that what
(28:33):
you're actually going to feel istriggered, you know.
Triggered because somebodydidn't recognize a thing that
you did or is taking you forgranted.
That's that, leo, energy.
So notice when that comes upfor you, you know, is this
relationship something you wantto keep around?
You know, the quality of ourrelationships as we get older is
determined by the depth ofconversation and the hard
(28:53):
conversations we are willing tohave.
So if you want girlfriends, ifyou want community, if you want
deep connections around you,then you're going to have to say
things.
When you are feeling them.
Otherwise, then you go intoavoidance and you go through
friendships like payback.
So, wishing you a wonderfulweek ahead of intentional
(29:17):
actions being present in yourbody for what comes up for you,
and ease and flow and alignmentas you step into the fire that
is coming back into thecollective.

Let's dive in and start thistransformative journey together.
Welcome to the Story of Spiritpodcast.
Welcome to the Astro forecastfor the week of April 14th
through to the 20th.
There is energy shifting in theair.
(01:50):
Can you feel it?
Venus went direct last week,mercury went direct the week
before April 7th and we now haveplanets changing signs.
The energy is starting to pickup momentum this week, but we're
still not out of the retroshade period, so I'll talk about
that in a moment.
So we start out the week on athird quarter phase of the moon,
(02:10):
in Scorpio, which means thatthe moon is losing light.
It's a time now of taking stockof what is reaping the benefits
of all the hard work thatyou've put in.
Scorpio is bringing us thesupport of uncovering or
discovering or investigatingdeep things that are lying
within, or sort of uncoveringsecrets, if you will.
(02:31):
Research really great for that.
And Scorpio also helps us tobring light to the darkness.
So this is a week now where youare really going to see.
All the hard work that you'vebeen putting in during the
retrograde periods is going tocome up now for you to take
action.
So if you think about retrogradeperiods being a time when
you're in the classroom, whenyou're incubating, you're in the
(02:52):
cocoon Now, as the planet goesdirect, now you're being asked
to step out of the cocoon intothe world, into the life lessons
, and say what did you learnRight?
It's different than learning alesson in therapy, than applying
it in real life.
What did you learn right?
It's different than learning alesson in therapy than applying
it in real life.
And that's what this week is.
It's real life, y'all.
So on wednesday, april 16th, wehave mercury moving into aries.
(03:12):
So mercury was in aries alreadywhen it went retrograde.
So mercury went direct, uh, atnine degrees of aries on march
15th.
Then, as it started to goslower than the earth, but
backwards in the zodiac,mathematically went back to 26
degrees of Pisces and then wentdirect on April 7th.
(03:33):
It will not be back to itsoriginal nine degree position
before the retrograde of Ariesuntil April 26th.
So we call that period of timethe the retro shade.
Between April 7th and April 26thwe are going to be going over
the degrees that we were goingthrough in life between March
(03:54):
1st and March 15th.
So that was sort of.
If you look back on yourcalendar, I want you to take
these dates down and start tofigure out in your life what
does this mean for you?
This is where we get theinsight and using the cycles
from astrology to help us buildan awareness of ourself and
start to repattern the thingsthat we are wanting to repattern
(04:15):
to change our identity, tomatch the future person that we
want to be, to have the lifethat we desire, or the things
that we desire.
So if you think about from March1st to March 15th, you were
thinking about something, doingsomething.
Maybe you were putting someenergies into doing something or
creating something, or planningsomething for the future.
Then, from March 15th to April7th, all of that got turned
(04:40):
around.
Either it got reviewed,reassessed, relined.
You decided you're going toscrap this.
Add that I don't know if thisis what I'm supposed to be doing
.
I feel like I'm a messed upturd.
You know that's you sendinglove.
And from April 7th now to April26th, you will now put in place
a new course of action, reviseyour old plan, or maybe do
(05:02):
something along the lines ofwhat you were originally
planning, but with some tweaksin it.
So those are sort of like someideas to kind of help you start
to see this pattern in your lifeand it's something that you
were thinking about, that youmight be dreaming about, that
you might have been talkingabout writing about.
You're thinking about writing abook, or some topics might have
come to you about starting apodcast like anything that uses
(05:23):
your voice, your communication,your intellect, your.
A podcast like anything thatuses your voice, your
communication, your intellect,your intellectual property, like
anything of that nature,because Mercury is the mind, so
anything that's created from themind, anything that you're sort
of voicing out into the world,and your voices are
manifestation to all.
So what are you talking about,dreaming about, thinking about?
So all of that will have gonethrough a massive revision from
(05:46):
when it originally is inception,from March 1 to March 15.
If you I can already hear aquestion if, what?
If I was thinking about itbefore March 15?
No problem.
But if it was something you werethinking about, talking about,
dreaming about, during theperiods of time of March 1 and
March 15, you likely will seethis now in a whole new light If
you decided to stick your headin a hole and do nothing about
(06:06):
it.
This period of time now, fromApril 7th to April 26th, is
going to be a little harder foryou, because you're going to be
seeing all the ways that you'vebeen holding yourself back or
all the ways that this plan isnot going to work for you, or
it's not working for you becauseyou have trauma or blocks that
are sabotaging your forwardmomentum.
So, either way, the outcome isthe outcome, right, you're going
(06:29):
to.
If you're dreaming about it, ifit's in your heart, it's meant
for you and the universe willget you there.
So you get to do it eitherthrough ease and flow with the
cycle or fight the cycle and youknow, a little bit more
struggle, but you're going toget there.
You're going to get there.
So I always say to my clientsall roads lead you to where
you're supposed to go.
You can just choose the scenicroute or you can choose the
(06:50):
longer, the faster journey.
The scenic route is the longerversion of it.
The faster route is the direct.
Let's heal this, let's developthis, let's see what's blocking
myself forward and let's dosomething about this.
And we're using these cycles toto help you circumvent some of
those longer journeys.
If you need the longer journey,so be it.
(07:10):
Nothing is bad, it's allneutral.
On Thursday, april 17th, we haveMercury coming to sit with
Neptune.
We call it a conjunction inastrology at the zero degree
mark of Aries because Neptunehas been sitting there for a
little bit.
So we pay attention.
They're called anoretic orcritical degrees in astrology
and there's a zero degrees andthen 29 degrees and there's some
(07:32):
other complicated onesdepending on cardinal, fixed or
mutable.
We won't talk about that rightnow, but a zero degree is very
potent.
And why is it potent?
It's the beginning degrees ofthe sign.
Right, the planet is trying toget its bearings.
Think of like a baby giraffethat just come out of its mama
and it's trying to figure outhow to use its legs.
That's a zero degree energy.
We're trying to sort out hownow to be at the zero degree
(07:54):
mark of Aries.
Aries is about your spark oflife, your passion, that
initiation, the entrepreneur,the bold, courageous adventurer.
You know that goes first.
It's a leadership sign.
So when you're going first, doyou have the playbook?
No, right, the Aries are makingthe playbook.
As they go along, they'repaving the way for the people
behind them.
So it's not inherently a verysafe and certain place to be and
(08:19):
as a collective, we are movingthrough this degree in space.
That is very new to us becauseNeptune hasn't been here for 156
years, so it's 164, 165,something like that.
It's over 150 years.
So this is a new space for usto be in and as a generation,
none of us have lived throughthis.
(08:40):
So Neptune, at the zero degreemark itself, is about being a
spiritual warrior, being ormaybe even uncovering truths
about people who are saying thatthey're leaders and they're not
.
You know, it's kind of bringinglight to truth or light to the
darkness.
Neptune is a spiritual sign.
It's one love, it's connectionto source, it's empathy,
(09:02):
compassion, wanting creativity,huge, huge creativity, that real
connection to our spirit.
And Aries is a sign of spark,of leadership, of
entrepreneurship.
So, with Mercury here now, nextto Neptune, this aspect blends
logic, which is Mercury, andintuition, which which is
(09:22):
Neptune.
So this is a very highlyimaginative, creative and
spiritual energy.
This is a really great day tomanifest, to think about what we
want to bring into the future.
If you're wanting to createsomething, if you're wanting to
paint, do pottery, create a newcourse, write a manual, write a
(09:42):
book, this would be a reallygreat day for that.
However, it can also bringconfusion, misunderstandings and
deceptive thinking.
You're like how will I know thedifference exactly?
How will you know thedifference?
It's a time of dropping intoyour soul and noticing what
feels right, what's movingforward and what feels stuck,
(10:03):
what is throwing up roadblockafter roadblock.
If youblock, if you decide youwant to write a book and
actually have a dear friendwho's right now has a book
opportunity for you to write achapter in a book that she's
publishing, that helps get yourstory out into the world and
there's a cost to that.
So if you decide you want to gofor that and you're like, oh,
I've got this money to puttowards a book, and all of a
(10:24):
sudden you get a bill from notnow, right, not now.
If you said I'm not meant towrite a book, my friends, we
need to do some healing there,because if it's coming from your
heart, it's meant for you to do, but the universe is always
right, timing you.
So if it's not now, then when?
(10:45):
Guess what?
My friend will probably writeanother book.
This is her third book in thisseries.
So you know, or you could writeyour own book.
Like you know, there's there'sso many ways forward.
It's not just this path.
When we hold on to just thispath, we then lock off, block
off the universe for showing usdifferent ways that this can
(11:05):
happen and let it be easy.
Right, let it be easy if.
If the CRE comes calling forthat money, then okay bless,
thank CRA.
It means I made a lot of money.
I'm so happy to give this moneyto you.
And this book opportunity willcome around in a different way.
That is, being regulated asopportunities and uncertainty
presents in your path.
This week is going to call youto become more regulated than
(11:29):
ever, because uncertaintyabounds in many ways.
So this is not a time to makebig decisions.
Right, mercury is going intoAries at zero degrees.
You don't have all theinformation, but the zero degree
mark of Aries can be veryimpatient, very erratic, very.
You know you're kind ofimpulsive that's the other one
very impulsive.
(11:50):
So we're not wanting to makeimpulsive decisions that we
regret later.
So what guards againstimpulsivity?
Planning logic, discernment,using your resources wisely,
give yourself space.
Right?
I had someone in my communityand actually someone who I care
very deeply about decide toreschedule their wedding.
(12:11):
Right, reschedule their wedding, and I was ecstatic for them.
There's nothing wrong withwaiting.
It's actually going to bringyou more clarity, more money,
more you know, amazingopportunity.
You're going to know what'sright for you.
And if you have an opinionabout someone rescheduling their
wedding, then that's more aboutyou, isn't it Right?
I did share that with myhusband that this person is
(12:35):
rescheduling their wedding andhe's like, oh, is everything OK?
And I was like everything ismore than OK.
Right, they get to save up moremoney, they get to be present
for what's happening in theirlife right now, because the
reschedule is because there's somuch things happening at one
time during that time that theywanted to get married.
So they're like, well,obviously then the marriage
doesn't feel like it's a goodfit.
(12:56):
It should be a time where wecan focus on it and have
foundation everywhere else inour life.
And I was like, yes, yes, girl,celebrating your decision on
that.
What's meant for you will findyou.
This is just going to bringmore clarity and more
amazingness to that relationship.
So see where you can accessdeep intuition and creative
inspiration.
On this day, which is Thursday,and this week.
(13:17):
This aspect is going to be inplay this whole week not a time
to make big decisions, and Venusjust going direct on Saturday
also not a great time to makebig money moves to Friday, april
18.
We have Mars finally finallymoving into Leo.
Oh my gosh, I feel like I wantto celebrate.
(13:38):
I want to celebrate this likethe astrological new year,
because Mars is our egoic willto move forward.
It is our motivation, orpassion, or drive to create
forward momentum in our life.
And Mars has been retrogradefor a freaking long time and
retrograde in cancer.
Cancer is a sign that it doesn'tlike to be in.
(14:00):
Ironically, it's a sign that Ihave my Mars born into.
You know, bless my cancer Mars.
I have such a heart for women,for intuition, for helping
people who need safety, creatingsafety for people.
That's why people tell me theirstories and bless my Mars.
But it's not great for thecollective, you know.
It's really not.
(14:20):
We're not moving anywhere.
We're sitting in this soupyemotional place of like.
I don't know.
Do I feel?
How am I feeling?
So when Mars moves into Leo?
Leo is a fire sign.
It's a fixed fire sign.
It rules creativity,self-expression, love, children.
It is a sign that likes nicethings.
It likes to show up, have agood party, enjoy life.
(14:43):
This is a time, my friends,when we are going to enjoy life.
This is the energy starting tomove ahead.
And if you've been sitting inthis soup of emotions, like I
have been, I've been in thecocoon liquefying this energy,
like if you can hear it in myvoice, like I'm literally
channeling it in this moment.
(15:03):
So, after four months, marsfinally moves out of Cancer.
Mars moves into fiery,confident Leo, bringing a surge
of passion, motivation andcourage.
After months of emotionalprocessing in cancer.
This shift invites boldexpression, leadership and
taking action without hesitation.
But Mercury just went retro, isstill in retro shade until
(15:29):
April 26.
So hang tight for another fewmore days.
You know it's not going to be,it's only eight more days and
you're going to then feel like,okay, like green light,
everything you can move ahead.
Now.
Venus is still going to be inretro shade until May 16th, but
you know what Venus she's abouta love and value.
(15:49):
And it's okay, it's all, it'sall good.
As soon as Venus moves intoAries, there's going to be more
energy for again that thatfieriness to come in.
So don't worry, you know it'sall moving forward.
Now, if you're feeling that fireand passion coming back, go do
it.
Do the thing you know it's time.
If you're feeling like, ah,you're starting the engine
(16:11):
starting to warm up and you'restarting to pick up speed,
perfect timing.
And if you feel like you'restill in the cocoon sending you
love, there's no right or wrongtiming, it is all neutral.
But I'm giving you the energyinformation for the forecast
that's coming in this week.
If you feel the fire startingto surge, I'm excited for you,
(16:34):
I'm excited for me, because it'sgoing to happen for me too.
I can feel it.
I can feel it, and Leo is a bigpart of my chart as well, so
I'm excited for that.
And again, if you are now goinginto the winter of your chart,
that's okay, too right.
This forecast is more so forthe public in terms of what's
affecting the collective,because it's the energy that's
(16:55):
coming onto this planet at thistime.
So if it's not the same foryour chart because you have a
different resonance or signaturein your chart, it's okay, it's
all right.
You know I take this with agrain of salt and be interested
in that.
Maybe this might hit your.
You know your children's chartsor your husband's chart or your
boss's chart.
You know noticing what'shappening in the world as it
pertains to some of this energy.
(17:15):
It does have an effect on thisplanet.
So something to think about.
On Saturday, april 19th, we havethe sun entering Taurus.
Some of my most favorite peopleare Tauruses and you know true
story, most of the coaches I'vehad are Taurus.
Which Taurus rules money, whichI think is quite interesting.
(17:36):
So Taurus season begins,shifting the focus to stability,
sensuality and groundedness.
Taurus is a fixed earth sign.
It is the most dependable, moststubborn.
It is very long term.
It's very much about thinkingabout the future, no-transcript
(18:15):
resources as well Mother Nature.
I always like to think of it aslike Ferdinand the Bull, you
know, with the flowers in itshair and its well, not really
hair in its horns, and just likeloving a Taurus that just loves
so deeply.
It's a very nurturing sign.
So it's a time to slow down,which is so interesting because
(18:37):
we have all this fire energycoming in, with Mars and Leo and
Mercury moving into Leo.
Venus is going to move into Leoor, sorry, aries and Mercury is
going to move into Aries.
So there's a lot of fire comingin from other places and you
know what this is blessings fromthe universe, because we can't
have all everything in fire.
We would just burn this planetto the ground, you know
(18:58):
everybody would be runningaround with their hair on fire.
We need, you know, fun partyloving likes to dress and look
nice.
This is a good time to enjoysome really delicious food with
(19:21):
good friends.
Patience and persistence are keythemes during Taurus season.
So happy birthday, taurus.
You are such a beautiful souland I just see you and I'm so
thankful that you are on thisplanet at this time.
All right, and then, roundingout, saturday, we have Mars
trying to Neptune.
No, because Neptune's at zerodegrees of Aries.
(19:41):
Remember we had that chat.
Now Mars is at zero degrees ofLeo.
So this energy is really potent.
Right, mars is zero degrees ofLeo is like oh, I'm trying to
figure out how to shine my lightand how to be seen in the world
and oh, I'm a little bit scaredthat people will judge me.
Leo at 29 degree is likebitches.
Look at me.
(20:01):
I'm here to be seen and you'renot going to dim my light
because I'm going to mess withyou if you do so.
That's the difference betweenzero degree, right, we're baby
giraffe trying to figure out ourenergy.
29 degree is throwing it inpeople's face.
It's learning.
Did you learn the lesson of Leo.
The lesson of Leo is to learnwhat your voice is, to put that
out into the world so that wecan amplify each other and
(20:23):
elevate this planet, which isAquarius, the opposite sign of
Leo.
So we need that balance.
We need you to know what yourvoice is.
We need you to know what yourpurpose is.
We need you to shine that lightright, that fiery light.
Leo rules the heart, so Mars inLeo is literally the heart, so
bringing that heart energy withyou to everywhere you go.
(20:45):
So the flowing aspect of thesetwo, this trine, is a very
helpful aspect.
It's the most harmonious aspectof the Zodiac.
It's a 120 degrees.
So this flowing aspect betweenaction, mars and spirituality,
neptune brings an intuitiveapproach to leadership and
passion.
It supports inspired action,creativity and a sense of divine
(21:05):
guidance.
So this is going to amp up ourintuition take action on
spiritual, creative dreams.
And if you're feeling likethere's a lack of direction or
you're kind of feeling likeyou're a little fired up but
you're kind of scared to takeaction or scared to be seen
taking action, it can look likepassive aggressiveness.
This is, this can be passive,aggressive energy, where you
(21:28):
don't know really your purpose,you're not standing in your
power, so you're making snideremarks or you're noticing
people who have more than you.
You know that can be jealousytoo, and noticing in that energy
it's a lack mentality, becauseit makes you feel like you can't
have that.
And where did you learn that?
Because you can have anythingyou want.
You just can.
You can work for it, you canwin it, you can partner up with
(21:52):
somebody else to get it, likethere's many paths forward into
your dreams and to the thingsthat you desire.
And if you hold it apart fromyourself and you hate it, so if
I hate the wealthy, then I'llnever be wealthy, right?
If I hate people that havesomething, or I'm jealous of
somebody, it's actually sayingto the universe I don't think I
can have that, right?
That's that's for them, not forme.
(22:13):
I really want it, though, right?
But so instead of saying that,say to yourself thank you for
showing me what's possible and Ican have that too.
Thank you for showing me what'spossible and I can have that
too.
And if there's part of you thatfeels like I can't have that,
then that's where you need to dothe healing.
Where did you learn that?
(22:33):
Who told you that?
Why do you believe that to betrue?
Because it's not true.
It's literally.
There's no evidence to showthat you can't have that.
So, sunday, april 20th Venus issextile to Uranus.
Venus is what we love and value.
She's just started to movedirect, and Uranus is a planet
of higher active of Mercury.
It's genius energy.
(22:54):
In this way, it's also out ofthe box thinking ingenuity.
So love and money, which isVenus, and creativity, take an
exciting turn.
Under this aspect, unexpectedopportunities in relationships
or finances can arise, bringingfresh energy and a break from
routine.
So this is going to feel likesomeone says, hey, you want to
(23:15):
go see a movie and then you endup going for dinner afterwards
and you guys have a marveloustime and you didn't plan for it.
So today, the answer is yes,right, if somebody offers you an
unexpected, like invitation tosomething this is about
adventure and unexpected twistto your day Say yes, right.
The other way this can manifestis you start surfing the web
(23:37):
and you see all these wonderfuldeals on things and you spend a
lot of money.
So being discerning with howyou're using your resources,
venus, and that it's inalignment with what you love and
value.
And then, sunday, we have twomore aspects.
On Sunday, sunday, april 20th,we have Mercury sextile to Pluto
(23:57):
and this is deep,transformative conversations,
insights, psychological insights, deep, powerful realizations.
This is like powerful words too.
This is a really good one towrite under.
Uh, if you want to write allyour social I do my social media
posts on sundays this is a goodone to channel that energy into
(24:17):
.
Like, how do we move the needlefor people, or how do we speak
to deep parts of our, fromourselves to others, or speak to
the deep parts of others tohelp bring healing to it.
So so this is really good forresearch as well.
You know, digging up things,investigating, checking out your
best friend's new boyfriend andtrying to get all the deets and
(24:39):
receipts on them.
This is a good day to do that.
Not that I encourage that.
So this is a great day toreally speak your truth and be
in authenticity and be carefulof being too opinionated or too
overpowering with this energy.
Pluto is very powerful energy,so if it's coming into your
speaking, you can use it forgood.
Or, you know, with great powercomes great responsibility.
(25:01):
Have you heard that one beingvery powerful, being aware of
how your words are beingreceived?
You can use that Neptunianenergy that's coming in to feel
if the words are being receivedproperly or if you're triggering
people and there's aninvitation there for people to
step up and say that they'retriggered or for you to
acknowledge hey, I just want tocheck that you received that or
the way that you did.
(25:22):
You hear what I had to say,because I'm feeling like I kind
of might have there's somethingthat's not quite sitting right
with you.
You can, you could call it out,or if you feel like that's too
confrontational, you can letthem tell you, or you can let
the relationship fall apart,which is great under this
transit as well.
So it falls apart over amisunderstanding.
It probably wasn't, was onshaky ground to begin with.
(25:43):
And then the last transit ofthis week, setting us up kind of
for next week, is on againSunday, april 20th, and it's the
sun, square Mars.
This is going to be the mostchallenging aspect of the week,
so it's also kind of setting usup for next week too.
So the sun is our vitality, ourenergy.
(26:04):
It's in Taurus, so that thatyou know that grounded earth,
mother kind of energy, and Marsis at the zero degree mark of
Leo, so that Leo, tension isabout being seen.
It's about look at what I didand are you recognizing my gifts
(26:24):
and talents, my contributionsthat I made?
This is a frustrating aspect.
My contributions that I made.
This is a frustrating aspect.
So this tension betweenstability, taurus, and action,
leo, can create frustration,impatience and power struggles.
Which is Mars.
Mars is our egoic will to moveforward.
So when our ego is triggered,we can get upset, we can yell
(26:44):
right, we can close down, butthis energy is not closed down.
These are two fire signs, sorry, one earth and one fire sign.
But Mars in a fire sign is verytriggering and Leo inherently
needs to be acknowledged.
Right, and there's nothingwrong with that.
Right, if I do something, I havea Leo, leo, venus, and so my
(27:05):
kids know that, like I will doanything for you, you just have
to say thank you.
Just say thank you.
Right, if you take me forgranted, you best believe you're
going to see triggered Sheetal,step forward, because I don't
enjoy that, or I will leave thesituation.
I can't leave my kids, so theywill know, you know that I don't
like it when you don'tacknowledge what I do for you.
(27:26):
I've had that conversation withthem and my love language is
that, in that case, is words ofaffirmation.
Thank you, mom, for picking meup from school.
You're welcome.
Thank you for saying thank you.
That's actually what I'll say.
Thank you for saying thank youBecause I feel seen.
I feel like you're appreciatingme.
When I feel unappreciated, myLeo Venus becomes irate, so I
(27:50):
can feel when that happens.
And does everyone have toappreciate me?
No, but I think the people whoare important in my life if I'm
doing something for you and youkeep taking me for granted,
you'll probably see that I willnot be there next time and
that's for me, yeah.
Is that a trauma?
I think it's a boundary.
You know, I've set thatboundary because I used to have
(28:11):
zero boundaries.
You know I just do and do anddo for everybody because I
wanted people to like me and Irealized now that I'm likable
without that, so I don't need todo that.
So if I do something for you,it's because I love you.
You know I genuinely love you.
So you might feel torn betweenplaying it safe and taking a
bold risk.
You know, I feel like that's afluffy way of saying that what
(28:33):
you're actually going to feel istriggered, you know.
Triggered because somebodydidn't recognize a thing that
you did or is taking you forgranted.
That's that, leo, energy.
So notice when that comes upfor you, you know, is this
relationship something you wantto keep around?
You know, the quality of ourrelationships as we get older is
determined by the depth ofconversation and the hard
(28:53):
conversations we are willing tohave.
So if you want girlfriends, ifyou want community, if you want
deep connections around you,then you're going to have to say
things.
When you are feeling them.
Otherwise, then you go intoavoidance and you go through
friendships like payback.
So, wishing you a wonderfulweek ahead of intentional
(29:17):
actions being present in yourbody for what comes up for you,
and ease and flow and alignmentas you step into the fire that
is coming back into thecollective.
