For once, I’m not talking about surrendering to the “universe”. This week we’re going to need to surrender to the forces (or people) who oppose us—because conflict right now is not going to help us get to where we want to go. Sometimes we have to lose a battle to win the war.

Here’s what to watch out for this week. Guidance for working with these transits is covered in the episode:

* Sunday, April 20th: Sun Square Mars

* Wednesday, April 23rd: Sun Square Pluto

* Thursday, April 24th: Venus Conjunct Saturn

* Saturday, April 26th: Mars Opposition Pluto

* Sunday, April 27th: New Moon in Taurus

Some things will be changing in response to new insights provided by the inspiring astrology of last week. To create space for the ideas that are waiting to be born, the custom readings and reports that make up the current product suite will not be replenished once they sell out.

Although you’re likely still experiencing the aftershock of the changes that began in March, we have some nice astrology to work with this week that will help us step into a new chapter. Mercury moves into Aries and forms a conjunction with Neptune, offering us the ideas that will allow our dream to take form. Mars moves into Leo and trines Neptune to give us the courage to be bold and make it real. The Sun in Taurus will help us feel really grounded in the process and encourage us to embody our new level of self-worth we just spent the last 6 weeks developing while Venus was in retrograde.

Here are the details:

* Wednesday, April 16th: Mercury enters Aries

* Thursday, April 17th: Mercury conjunct Neptune

* Friday, April 18th: Mars enters Leo

* Saturday, April 19th: Mars Trine Neptune, Sun enters Taurus

* Sunday, April 20th: Venus sextile Uranus, Mercury Sextile Pluto

Guidance for working with these transits is covered in the episode.

Join me and OTHERWORLDLY as we share our take on what we can expect during the next 14 years as Neptune, the planet of dreams, spirituality and the subconscious, makes its way through Aries, the warrior of the Zodiac.

The purpose of today’s episode is to help you understand what Neptune in Aries will offer us collectively so that you can use the energy of the planets instead of, as Steven Forrest puts it, "be marionettes with the planets having us by the strings”. Neptune in Aries is a spiritual path forward that will be open to everyone, but we have to volunteer to take it. We have to act.

Neptune was in Aries the first time Lewis Carroll told the story of Alice & Wonderland. Neptune was also in Aries during the American Civil War. I believe that as spiritual seekers and business owners, we have a responsibility to co-create a reality aligned with Neptune's higher purpose instead of allowing ourselves to get sucked into the fear that will be brought on by the lower possibility of this transit.

On a personal level, the house Neptune is transiting through in your natal chart shows where you will experience increased creative flow and inspiration and the dissolution of old structures, but also confusion and uncertainty. To learn how Neptune and the outer planets will impact your experience for the next 12 months, order your Transit Report here.

We’re in a season of unexpected changes and delays, so why wouldn’t there be a change of plans for this week? The good news is: the Neptune in Aries episode is going to be replaced with a Neptune in Aries conversation with the one and only OTHERWORLDLY and will be out sometime in the next week or two.

And as if by divine intervention, this change of plans freed up today’s episode to focus on my favorite day in March that seems to be overshadowed with all the retrogrades and eclipses we’ve been focusing on. On April 4th, the planet of action, the planet of breakthroughs, and the planet of discipline come together to open a window of opportunity for us do something game-changing.

This episode is about insomnia, fever dreams, downloads, visions, expansion, restriction, tension, magic, chaos, clarity, creativity, branding, pen names, the alter ego effect, paywalls, platforms, uncertainty, breakthroughs, nostalgia, reinvention, and my favorite transits of the upcoming week.

Wednesday, March 19th Sun conjunct Neptune

Thursday, March 20th Sun enters Aries

Saturday, March 22nd Sun conjunct Venus

This week’s featured personal* transit: Saturn Square Jupiter

You’ll experience this too if your natal Jupiter is at a 20-something degree of Gemini.

There’s tension between your wish to follow your rainbow and the need to attend to the practicalities in life. In other words, you’re experiencing a struggle between the side of you that wants to expand and grow and another side of you that wants to stay put and feel secure. This tension will eventually lead to resolution, but in the meantime you’ll be forced to work through the problems and obstacles that are standing between you and a true sense of fulfillment.

You may be feeling down on your luck, or like new opportunities present themselves only to come to nothing. Your projects and goals will be tested right now, but patience and persistence will lead to sustainable success.

*Personal transits reflect how the transiting planets are impacting the planets in my own natal chart. If you’d like to dive deeper into the specific themes, challenges and opportunities unfolding in your life over the next 12 months, a custom Transit Report offers a personalized roadmap of the planetary influences shaping your unique path, empowering you to plan ahead with more clarity.
