It’s officially the end of the eclipse portal. On Saturday, April 12th, we have a powerful Full Moon in Chitra Nakshatra, in the sign of Virgo — marking the celebration, the culmination, and the completion of everything you’ve been moving through over the past six weeks. The following day, Sunday, April 13th, is massive: Venus goes direct after her long retrograde journey that began March 2nd, and the Sun moves into Aries, beginning a fresh new solar cycle.

This is a big week. And then, blessedly, we get a reprieve — a chance to rest, integrate, and begin anew. In this episode, I unpack how to work with the closing of the eclipse portal and Venus retrograde, while stepping into the bold, action-oriented Aries energy that defines the second half of April.

Chitra Nakshatra’s ruler is Vishvakarma — the celestial architect of the universe — and this Full Moon is about recognizing what you have built. Your ideas. Your creations. Your healing. This is Mars energy in its constructive, creative form. This isn’t the time for conflict or confrontation — especially not on the 12th — but it is the time to perform, to lead, to build, to take care of your body, your home, your self-expression.

Venus moves direct this week so I break down the 3-phase journey of Venus retrograde taht began in January:

• Phase 1 (Jan 27–Mar 2) – Surrender: Heightened romance, longing, idealism, but with potential illusions.

• Phase 2 (Mar 2–Apr 13) – See Clearly: Truth-telling, pattern recognition, karmic reckonings.

• Phase 3 (Apr 13–May 31) – Step Forward: Integration, recalibration, moving toward soul-aligned love and purpose.

I share personal reflections of how this has shown up in my own life and invite you to explore what has been stirred in yours. You might still feel unclear, foggy, emotional — that’s okay. It doesn’t all need to make sense. This is a deeply spiritual time. Allow what’s been hidden to come to the light.

Then, as the Sun enters Aries — exalted, empowered — we step into initiation energy. This is your inner CEO, your builder, your independent, courageous self. Want to start a business? Launch a new project? Change your routine? From now through October is a golden time for aligned action.

You don’t have to overthink it. Just start. Start simple. Let your alignment guide your action, and your actions lead to achievement.
