Burn Through One Challenge, One Wound At a Time

What’s in the air the week of April 13?

Themes of the week:

• What are your wounds that are coming up for healing? What is their source, and who is benefiting from your suffering? What is the work you need to do to alchemize this energy?

• Focus on the one thing that is an absolute priority, get it done, then move on the next, and next, but focus on one priority at a time!

• We all need to be sitting in the seat of our courage, maybe we’ll need to summon more courage than we ever thought was possible.

• We may be up against some really challenging truths this week, and we have to be ready to bear witness, and move based on this truth.

• Sunday is going to be the day to accomplish a monumental task that you have been putting off, but will bring a tremendous amount of satisfaction once completed.

There are so many planets in Aries this week creating friction, a bit of heat, a collision, a traffic jam. Imagine when someone is going really fast & then they hit a wall, the car may crumple, there may be fire. This week has a bit of an agitated or even a dangerous edge to it.

Watch your speed and pay attention to where you’re going!

It’s time to lock in, focus, stay on track, be strategic, and keep moving forward.

MONDAY the 13th - We have a beautiful Venus-Jupiter sextile conjunction, with Venus in its home sign of Taurus, and Jupiter exalted in Cancer. This energy is all about abundance, friendliness, the beautiful exchanges that can happen when we are in solidarity and mutual support mode. Be helpful to others, and let yourself be open to receiving help as well.

TUESDAY the 14th - Mercury sextile Uranus. There may be a surfacing that helps us come to a conclusion about something, or get some closure.

On the same day, Mercury is just about to move into Aries on its way to Neptune, and from Tuesday through Friday, it may feel a bit like Mercury Retrograde energy, with communications being a bit foggy, or misfiring, not quite hitting their mark.

WEDNESDAY the 15th - the Moon moves into Aries (add it to the lineup!), joining Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, Mars, the Sun, and Chiron! Seven planetary bodies all mashed up together in the fiery sign of Aries.

THURSDAY the 16th - the Sun and Chiron make a cazimi. You may find yourself getting clear about what it is that causes you pain, why you’re suffering, who’s the cause of your suffering, and who is benefitting from your pain? We’re shining a spotlight on why this is happening, whether it’s on a personal level or collective level, and perhaps, we’re seeing it, but refusing to suffer! Perhaps this is a buck up & remember your power kinda moment.

Also Thursday, Mars and Pluto meet in a sextile, with Mars in Aries, and Pluto in Aquarius, bringing great motivational energy. It’s telling us we’ve got nothing to lose, we may as well go all out with the action that could help us strategically move forward as we acknowledge what is hurting and why. It’s helping us do something about what we need to heal.

But - keep in mind, Mercury and Neptune are also coming together, bringing that foggy communication where things may be misunderstood or lost in translation, so tread with caution. Thankfully, the Mars-Pluto conjunction, ambitious and clear-eyed, may help us through this murkiness.

FRIDAY the 17th - Bold, courageous, New Moon in Aries arrives to help us move forward, and in conjunction with Chiron, it may especially help us understand something even deeper about our soul’s aches and pains. While it may be uncomfortable, it’s a great opportunity for clarity about the source and effects of this wound (and again, who is benefitting from your suffering).

The New Moon helps us take our inquiry further. Rather than staring at the symptoms, analyzing the surface appearance of these wounds, it’s a good time to dive deep with your self-inquiry and trace the problems all the way to their root, and address them there at that level.

Meet your shadow self ‘where it’s at,’ and work to understand where it’s coming from and what purpose it has been fulfilling.

Let us notice and see how we’re all being manipulated - to feel inadequate, to oppose one another, to keep us diminished and separate, when actually we all have the same general goals and desires - to be happy, to feel at peace, to feel safe, to love and be loved, to feel valued, and to feel fulfilled in whatever our occupation is.

What is this suffering, what is its root, and what can I do to alleviate it? This New Moon is here to support you, and us, taking action to apply the healing balm we need in our lives. Let yourself be open to discovering or reinforcing what that is for you.

SATURDAY the 18th - Mercury sextile Pluto. Expect helpful conversations, helping us tune in and see what’s beneath the surface, what is at the root of our problems. This sounds like deepening the understanding and integration energy, adjusting to acceptance of some of the things we’ve discovered.  Keying into the fact that there are layers to this.

SUNDAY the 19th - the most important astrology of the week - Saturn and Mars come together, at the same point in Aries, a friction point, inviting us to accomplish something that will be tremendously difficult but so very worth the effort, and that is what we have to focus on.

Whether personally or collectively, or both, we gotta be ready to do the dirty work. Rather than focus on all the little shit vying for our attention, it would behoove us to focus on this one thing that feels like it’s going to require your everything to address it, but you will feel so accomplished if you succeed. Be unrelenting with it, knowing it will be well worth the hard work.

The hard things that are not worth it, leave them to the wayside for now, and just focus on that which feels like you really really wanted to accomplish, what is strategically really important right now, that thing that - ‘If I die tomorrow, I will feel complete because I did it!’

“Inside that stuck, difficult, challenging place is also the key to unlock it.” - Chani

Chiron is like that knot in your neck that has to be massaged and kneaded in order to let go of, and it may hurt, but we know there will be relief on the other side. We often lock this pain up in our bodies without realizing it. Open up, get some blood circulating!

Don’t overschedule yourself this week, be strategic, be wise, be intentional with your energy. Know that this is not the week to get distracted by other game that is on the to-do list. There are some things that can wait. And some things that really need to be tended to now. Top priority for the long game. Don’t take on anything new that you can’t handle. Be highly discerning about what gets any iota of your energy and what does not, at least right now.

Lean in, let’s Recalibrate together.

Soundbath Tuesday or Thursday at 7 pm.

Recalibrate Community in Zoom Wednesday at 3, & Friday at noon.
