Welcome to the Story of Spiritpodcast.
(01:37):
Welcome to the Astro Forecastfor the week of April 28th to
May 4th.
This is a big week in sort ofwe call it mundane astrology,
meaning the things that arehappening around the world.
That was only really one majorthing that's happening around
the world, but it's a big one,and this week is only three
major aspects this week.
(01:58):
So the energy is interestingand potent for beginnings.
So we start out the week on afirst quarter phase of the moon
because we just came off thatnew moon in Taurus on Sunday and
this new moon brought aboutthis energy of you.
Know what do we want to bringinto the collective?
It's a new beginning.
(02:18):
So the moon is still in Taurusas we start out this week in the
first quarter phase of the moon.
This is a building energy.
This is a wonderful time to nowlaunch something new, start
something in your life that isgoing to bring you resources,
wealth, things that you want toinvest in long term.
Think of sowing the seeds ofsomething that's going to come
(02:38):
to fruition months from now.
And this is.
This is a long game, taurusplays the long game.
So we are in Taurus season,with the sun in Taurus Happy
birthday to all the Taurus andthe moon is starting out in
Taurus this week.
So this is going to bring us inthis grounded energy of like
what do we want to create withmindedness, with intention, with
(02:59):
consciousness?
Consciousness is mindedness Ijust made that word up, I think.
And we start out the week withthis first quarter phase because
on Monday, on Monday April 28,there is an aspect that's in
play that's going to make us alittle anxious.
It's the moon conjunct Uranus.
It happens a little bit later,in the afternoon, in the evening
(03:20):
, but it is a time of theCanadian elections evening, but
it is a time of the Canadianelections.
This is a time when the futureof Canada and how it relates to
the US, especially because ofall the changes that are
happening in the US, is going tobe solidified in some way.
And if you've been watchingpolitics, if you haven't been,
no problem, I'm just going totell you a little bit about the
(03:41):
energy of the astrology in thismoment in time and where it's
sort of pointing to.
Now.
Do I know the outcome of this?
No, and I also have my own biaswhich I'll keep out of this
podcast, uh, this astrology, butwhat I'll say to you is there's
there's a flavor coming onwednesday for a new beginning
and it's a very potent beginning.
(04:02):
So you know, whether it's theliberals, it's probably between
the liberals and the politicalconservative, the PCs, the
conservative party there's goingto be they're sort of in the
front runner.
You know kind of they're vyingfor it and the polls are saying
you know things and who knowswhat that really is.
The polls aren't reality,voting is reality.
(04:24):
So there could be, you know.
Either way, with a new leader ofthe Liberal Party, mark Carney,
he is bringing about a new I'mgoing to say era for the Liberal
Party, because he's not apolitician for the PCs, who is
Pierre Polyev.
He is a career politician andhe has never been prime minister
(04:46):
, but he's been in the backbenches since he was in his 20s
22, I think, is when he became apolitician.
I'm not sure.
I think he's in his 40s now.
So he's been a politician hiswhole life.
So it's been interesting becauseof the liberal government
that's been in party for thelast eight years or so.
There's been kind of.
This happens from time to time.
(05:07):
If there's a ruling party ingovernment for more than two
terms, what can happen is we gettired of that party.
We're aching for somethingdifferent.
Especially, you know, the worldhas been changing and a lot of
the changes that have been puton the government are actually
not the government right.
The Canadian dollar has lostvalue because of the political
pressures from around the world,including the US's foreign
(05:28):
policy has influenced the dollar.
But yet in the media there's alittle, a huge spin of how the
liberals are responsible for the.
It's terrible, it's.
There's a lot of misinformationout there.
So it's going to be interestingbecause both parties have been
promising things that are noteasy to do or even not even
possible.
There's been so many promisesmade from both parties that are
(05:52):
really just not possible to dowith the way that the world
works, with the way the lawworks, the way the Constitution
works.
And again, if you don't knowanything about economy, the
economics and political schemeof things, you can think that
this is truth.
So there's been a lot of spins,you know, in media and with
(06:13):
Mercury now direct and Venus nowdirect, there's truth going to
come to light, which is going tobe interesting.
So, regardless.
You know there's going to be alittle anxiety in the collective
around the world as well,because the way the Canadians
work with the US and our border,our defense defensiveness with
(06:34):
the Arctic, all the things thatthey were dealing with with in
terms of the politics, withwho's in power in the US, power
in the US there's just a lot upin the air and we're so
intertwined.
You know, our economies areintertwined, our different
systems are intertwined with theUS and Canada.
So what's happening in Canadais really going to dictate our
(06:57):
future, and the leader who'sgoing to be elected and the
party that's going to be electedis then going to have to learn
to play ball with the Trumpadministration.
So this is going to be a reallyinteresting day, you know, to
witness and then witness thisTaurus energy of groundedness
Thank goodness, we need it butthen also the moon coming to
(07:17):
stay with Uranus during this dayas well, and it's going to be a
fast transit.
It's not very long a couple ofhours but there's still anxiety
in the collective that can comeup with this moon conjunct
Uranus.
So something to pay attentionto and then the energy is
looking really good on the 29th,you know, in terms of moon
transits and the moon moving toGemini, which gives us more sort
of thought processing,processing our emotions through
(07:41):
the mind, but also being curiousand learning more about, you
know, seeking information thatmakes us safe.
So there's going to be, youknow, canada is a little divided
right now, as well as inrecording this between the
parties, it's pretty evenInteresting that it mimics the
US and how it was also evenlyalmost evenly divided there as
well.
So it can go either way.
(08:03):
It really depends on thetimelines, what we are ready for
and what the collective isgoing to buy into.
So good things are coming.
On the 29th we're going to bedigesting information, people
are going to be looking upthings, seeing what now for them
as well.
And then our first major aspectof the week is Venus moving into
Aries on the 30th, which isWednesday.
So this is a major turningpoint because now Venus is in a
(08:29):
fire sign, but when Venus is ina zero degrees of a fire sign,
we can get fired up.
You know it's the zero.
It's like everything makes usfiery or we get spicy about a
lot of things.
So this zero degree mark ofAries can be very bold.
It's very independent, fiery,passionate.
(08:50):
It's confidence, it's directionof love and money.
We want to.
We want to get things done now.
We are like, ok, no morewaiting.
Which is again interesting whenyou think about this from the
political lens, because nowwe've been in this limbo land
for so long and the governmenthasn't been enacting anything
major, because we've beenwaiting for this decidedly.
(09:11):
You know this Canada to makeits choice of who we want to
lead us into the next four yearsmicro right, so in the
collective, and of course thisalso goes for if you live in
other countries around the worldand you're listening to this,
you might be noticing this, thisfeeling, in your own country as
(09:32):
well.
But in within right, this Venusmoving into Aries can make us.
It's ready to go, it's like abeginning right.
It's a zero degree mark ofAries is the spark of
inspiration, it's initiation.
So we want to start to go.
So where in your life do youfeel like it's a time for some
something new to come in, andwhere do you need to start
(09:55):
taking initiation, initiative,initiatory man the words are not
coming to me today.
Where do you need to initiatechange in your life?
That's where I want to go withthat.
So this is an adventurous one.
This can bring you some reallywonderful new energy coming in,
passionate new beginnings.
But be careful for impulsivity,okay, cause impulsivity can be
(10:15):
a challenge with Aries, whereyou just do things impulsively
and go ah, one life, you knowyou'll love.
You only live once, let's do it.
And then you're like, oh,you're crying in your soup.
So just be very mindful.
I think that Taurus energy isgoing to really help not make
impulsive decisions, especiallywith money.
(10:36):
It's still not a time to bemaking impulsive.
You know when is it ever areally good time to make
impulsive decisions?
But it's this Venus in Aries.
It's the time to go.
We feel very passionate aboutstarting new things, initiating
projects, creative endeavorsreally good time for that.
The next major aspect is onFriday, the 2nd of May.
(10:56):
Now, and in the 2nd of May wehave Venus now coming to sit
with Neptune at the first degreemark of Aries.
So this is an initiation point.
This is a dreamy alignment thatblends love and creativity with
fiery passion.
You may feel inspired by loveor swept up in idealistic
visions.
This can be very idealistic.
(11:17):
Oh my gosh, I see the potentialin this guy.
He's so wonderful.
Or I see the potential in thisbusiness offering or this
potential in this businesscollaboration.
This energy makes things veryidealistic and dreamy.
Right, neptune can like put onthe rose colored glasses and we
(11:38):
don't need that.
This is wonderful energy forcreativity, for expression, for
writing, for telling stories.
This is well Mercury.
Yes, mercury is also in firesign.
So this is a beautiful time forspiritual connection, artistic
expression, keeping one foot onthe ground.
Really, be careful for illusionsin love, impulsive choices and
(11:59):
idealizing someone.
So if you're starting arelationship or the ax comes
back into your life, it is notthe time.
This is not the time to makebig money decisions.
Neptune makes things look notreal.
You can't see the reality of it.
So not a time to move yourmoney, not a time to make big
(12:20):
relationship choices.
I know I keep getting emailsfrom people going when is the
time?
It's coming, it's coming.
It's not right now.
This is not.
This is not the time that youwant to be making any big moves
with your money.
So again, very romantic energy.
This is a great time to go on aromantic date with your person
that's been your person for along time.
(12:40):
This is wonderful energybecause it's an Aries for female
leadership women, tapping intothe divine feminine which is our
flow, our intuition, ournurturing, our emotional energy,
and moving that into leadershipqualities.
Great time for that.
And then, on Sunday, may 4th,we've got Pluto going retrograde
(13:03):
in Aquarius.
Now I know all of the memes outthere like everything's direct
until May 4th, and you knowPluto goes direct for really
long periods of time.
Okay, it's a very slow, mostoutermost planet that we look at
in astrology and it's anAquarius.
You know it's going to hang outthere.
It moves at most a few degreesin its retrograde.
(13:25):
It's not something I personallyam very sensitive to energy and
I don't notice when it goesretrograde.
But and I have a Scorpio rising, which Pluto rules in modern
astrology.
So I don't know.
You know, is this a big deal?
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to say no, not really.
You know the effects of Plutoare cumulative, it is slow and
(13:47):
steady and it is the wreckingball right.
It's here to its death, rebirthand transformation.
So where I really notice Plutois when it touches parts of my
chart that are very chargedright, that are very sensitive.
So is this a big deal?
No, I'm going to say it's stillgreen lights ahead.
You know, keep moving forward.
Hold on to your money for alittle bit Into next week.
(14:09):
You're going to get more whenMercury moves into Taurus on the
10th of May a good time then tomake big money decisions and
moving your money around.
The stock market should startto stabilize a little bit.
I wouldn't put my word on thatand I'm not a CFP Certified
Financial Planner, so pleasedon't.
I wouldn't put my word on thatand I'm not a CFP certified
financial planner, so pleasedon't come for me on that one.
(14:29):
But I personally would not movemy money until, like, after the
tip.
So, with this Pluto retrogradein Aquarius on the fourth, deep
inner transformation starts tobegin.
Like we haven't been havingthat all year, you know like,
let's be honest with this, someof this information, this
retrograde, invites you toreflect on your relationship
with power.
Some of this information, thisretrograde invites you to
reflect on your relationshipwith power, truth and collective
(14:52):
evolution.
It's a time to review yourinner landscape and release old
programming.
Here's what I'm going to say.
And so Pluto is retrogradeuntil October 13th now and it's
going to stay in Aquarius, sohe's not retrograding back into
Capricorn, thankfully.
So this energy is helping us toreally dig deep into, like, who
do we want to be in this timein the universe, in this
collective, in this history?
Your soul came here at thistime on purpose.
(15:15):
Like, just think about thechanging landscape of the
collective and you chose to beborn during this time.
This is a big time, right.
I feel like there's nocoincidence.
Wow, I don't know, this isweird.
There's no coincidence, right.
The election's happening onMonday and now Pluto's going
(15:36):
retrograde in Aquarius.
Aquarius is a humanitarian sign.
It's an air sign of evolutionof technology, of being there
for humanity, humanity beingthere for each other.
Right, this isn't about meenergy, this is about we energy.
So, when Pluto goes retrogradein Aquarius, this is like where
are we failing each other?
Where are we not followingthrough with being there for
(15:59):
humanity?
I mean, we are seeingatrocities still happening in
Gaza.
We are still seeing things thatare very disconcerting in the
African continent of coups andmilitary and people dying and
senselessly being brutalized.
This is still going on aroundthe world in 2025.
(16:21):
Like, we really thought, I thinkin movies, that we'd be so much
more evolved as a collective inour humanity, and it can be
very easy to feel and I've beenfeeling this myself feeling very
helpless in the grand scheme ofthings, especially all the
babies that are just helplessand are being targeted as
collateral damage.
You know, is what they say.
(16:42):
And this, this Pluto, is comingin here to say what can we do
better?
How can we do better?
And I think one of the thingsI've been noticing with all this
destabilizing energy is what'srising to the surface.
How are we banding together andfinding a way?
And I really noticed during likeHurricane, katrina and any kind
of natural disaster, thathappens is that sometimes the
(17:04):
military and the governmentscannot mobilize fast enough, and
so what happens is humanity hasto come together, humanity has
to help each other.
Neighbors are checking on eachother.
They're sharing food in theblock, they're sharing water,
they're sharing power banks andtrying to make sure that
everybody has.
That is the power of Aquarius,that is the energy of Aquarius,
(17:27):
so that we all may have Right,and some people call that
socialism.
I would say it's like the bareminimum that we all must go
together.
You know, yes, some people canhave more, but if the bottom
people that don't have any likedon't have any, then what are we
doing here as a society?
Like, why do so many have somuch more when people have
(17:47):
nothing Like, we should at leastguarantee a minimum standard of
like income, of living, of youknow, the ability to have a
house, have food on the table,have electricity like these are
the bare minimums that everyone,everyone should have.
Now it's no longer like eat orbe eaten.
We don't live in that kind ofworld now.
We've evolved to have comfortand we're not just trying to
(18:11):
survive anymore, and so if thereare people in this world, in
our countries, that are justfighting to survive, then
humanity is broken, right?
So Pluto is coming in now tosort of say hey, there's things
here that are more importantthan just the richest 5% getting
richer and richer every day,like, how do we redistribute the
(18:32):
wealth, how do we take care ofeach other?
So notice this coming into thecollective, right?
Yeah, it's such a light timeyou know to be alive I know, you
know that it's not and this isa time to shore up our supports
for ourselves, right?
This is that Taurus energycoming in, making sure you have
safety and then also lookingaround and see where do you need
, where could you share, wherecould you help someone else?
(18:55):
This Pluto energy is coming inNow it's very subtle but it's
going to continue to build.
And it's it's not subtle inthis moment because it's
retrograde stationary retrograde, but it's been sitting on the
same degree of Aquarius for alittle while, so you know, is it
intense?
Yeah, I think it's been intensebecause it just moved into
Aquarius last year, at the endof last year.
So we're still getting used tothis energy.
(19:15):
It's new to us and it is soneeded.
Now you know we're you're hereon purpose at this time to help
humanity rise, to help thecollective rise.
But first you have to find yourown gift and talents.
You have to understand what'syour contribution going to be
that still makes you feel safein your family, for your family,
for your future too, and that'swhat this is all about.
(19:37):
So I hope you use the weatherreport to support you in your
forward momentum.
This is not energy that you areat the mercy of.
You get to flow with it.
You get to use this energy tobe the wise creator of your life
.
