112 | Pisces New Moon & the Lunar Nodes: Endings, Suspicion, and Hedonism (Juicy!)
April takes a look at the New Moon in Pisces, the Sun’s sextile aspect to Uranus, and the Mars and Venus conjunctions with Pluto and what they may mean for you. From the conclusion of relationships to letting go of the ropes and trusting the universe, this Pisces season creates an atmosphere of reflection and release. This New Moon heralds the second anniversary of the pandemic, and a humbling cosmic reminder that we aren’t fully in control. So, for all who take solace in checklists, plans, and strategies - ‘tis the season to relax and let go. In Pisces season, life happens and things may not go exactly as planned. As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces is associated with endings – so now is a great time to ask yourself: “where am I being called to lighten the load?” Building on the theme of reflection and retreat, the Sun-Uranus sextile aspect is an opportunity to integrate and share insights from last month’s breakthroughs. Use this as a chance to liberate yourself from who you think you have to be, and to align your persona with your authentic self. Ask yourself: What am I projecting out in the world that is no longer true to who I am inside? Plus: a new Mars-Pluto cycle, Kelly Clarkson's name change, and a juicy listener question about death, suspicion, and hedonism. Note: This episode was recorded before the events in Ukraine, and our hopes for peace and safety go out to the people of Ukraine and our friends in the region.
