We’ve made it through the toughest part of 2025—Mercury and Venus retrogrades are officially over, and for the next month, every planet is moving forward. This rare momentum creates the perfect opportunity to finally make progress and move ahead. The heavy energy of the past few months is lifting, and we’re stepping into something lighter, more hopeful, and expansive.
This week is packed with powerful energy resets—Passover, the final days of Aries season, and the upcoming Easter all align with spring’s theme of renewal and rebirth. Passover especially acts like a cosmic reset button, reminding us of our freedom, spiritual connection, and the chance to realign with what matters most. We’re waking up with the Earth, stepping into new beginnings full of potential.
On Saturday, April 19, the Sun moves into grounding, luxurious Taurus, kicking off one of the most stabilizing and comforting seasons of the year. After months of chaos, Taurus season invites us to slow down, get our feet back under us, and find peace in simple pleasures—cozy moments, good food, nature, and rest. It’s exactly what our nervous systems need right now.
Planetary shifts add to this momentum. Mercury moves into Aries this week, pulling us out of its retrograde shadow and sparking clarity, motivation, and fresh mental energy. Mars enters bold Leo, giving us a surge of confidence, drive, and passion to move forward with courage. These transits mark the beginning of a vibrant new chapter.
We’re officially in a moment of real possibility. The hard part is behind us, and the Universe is saying “go for it.” Use this fresh energy to move forward, stay grounded in Taurus’s sweetness, and look for signs that things are getting better—because they are. This is your time to breathe deeper, trust more, and believe that something beautiful is blossoming.
