Episode Details

It feels like I just wrote the March Energy Report and we’re starting a new month. I’m kidding, March was a long month that never seemed to end. Challenging times always seem to drag on and we have seen quite a few in the past few years. But cheer up, April is a new vibe and we have some rare supportive energy this month that should put a smile on everyone’s face, especially those who have been waiting for the Go sign to start moving forward.

April’s themes are ACTion, alignment, and renewal. This month we are encouraged to take action and with so much fiery Aries energy you might think that it is the busting out of the gate and doing as much as possible quickly kind of action. But this is a highly unusual month with the kinds of energy aspects we don’t see very often. It’s spring and that typically means new growth, gardening, tulips and daffodils, and a chance to re-emerge from the dark, cold days of winter. 

Spring represents renewal, rebirth, re-emergence, re-awakening, and re-starts as we watch nature awaken to its annual cycle of growth. Last month I shared a photo of the beautiful white Bradford pear trees in full bloom and now they are all covered with green leaves. My garden is awakening as the plants that were dormant in the winter are now rising to greet the sun and warmer temperatures.

And we’re doing the same as we move away from the drab, cold, dark days of winter into the warmth and vibrancy of spring ( in the  northern hemisphere). But there is a new vibe to the energy this month that is going to springboard us into a fresh start and it begins on April 4 and ends on the 15th.

I have been writing about the April 11 new moon with some excitement because it comes with a rare bonus – all of the personal planets are in Aries, along with some of important asteroids like Ceres and Chiron. 

Some might point out that Mars is not in Aries and it isn’t but it is in Gemini and Gemini’s ruler Mercury is in Aries so these two planets are in mutual reception – they are in each other’s signs. So Mars is supporting this new moon that is going to be a powerful motivating force for action.

But there is another aspect to this new moon and all of its support which is like an energy potluck, where each planet brings something to the table for everyone to enjoy. 

The Sun and Moon are called the two ‘lights’ of the sky, Mercury adds communication, karmic healing, and movement; Venus adds beauty, balance, and joy, Mars, from its Gemini placement, adds thoughtful action and karmic endings, Chiron adds healing, and Ceres adds the energy of growth, fertility, and abundance.  Add a supportive aspect from benevolent Jupiter and we have a new moon period that not even cranky Pluto can disrupt.

Usually when people think of Aries they see bold, brash energy that is quick to move and slow to finish. Aries are known for being the pioneers but they are not much for detail or the fine finish work. But with this new moon the Aries energy is strongly supported by a lot of other energies that can fine tune the rough edges and create a path of considered, intentional, inspired action that does pay attention to detail and has a firm grasp on its intention and energy boundaries. 

Think of this month’s energy like a potluck dinner – everyone brings something to the table and there is a variety of energy that everyone can use and find useful. 

This will come as a relief to everyone who has been struggling with the strong Saturn/Pluto conjunction of 2020 and the ongoing Saturn/Uranus square of 2021 which has been a roller coaster of energy ups and downs. It has taken a lot of faith and trust to get through these past few years and that kind of commitment always gets rewarded – eventually. Now it’s time to claim our reward.

The 9 energy of April 2021 is not an ending, it is the beginnings that arise from endings and the endings that give birth to beginnings. Think of how the number 9 is wr
