Aries Rams Through Astrology
Aries is having big influences this month. I am not an astrologer, but I am gleaning from what they say about our current flow.
For one thing, Aries has been in Venus since the start of the month. This heightens relationships in areas of passion and competition. This can be hot or combative, depending.
I had an intense week with a lot of communication challenges, house mishaps, interpersonal drama, and embarrassing mistakes.
I spoke with some other friends who also were challenged with cancellations and frustrations in communication.
I understand this ambiguity is related to the recent start of a Saturn and Neptune conjunction in Aries that we’ve been in since Feb 20th, around Chinese New Year when the Fire Horse began.

The last session of Psychic Sundays is this weekend! Join our online course in the 4 Pillars of Astrology with Heather to gain insight into how your full chart works.
Prepare for the Unexpected with Confidence
I was a girl scout, and I love having my little pouches with all the tiny items that rescue me from crisis. It quells my anxiety in the meantime.
I also see how too much stuff becomes a burden.
It’s a balance act.
So how prepared in life is the right amount for you, and how much is too much?
Here are some tenets of preparedness to consider for yourself.
The Horror of Horoscopes
I sometimes talk about astrology on this newsletter, even though it is not my expertise. I share the information because I see how it has great value.
My goal is for people to use the upcoming alignments to shape our paths in a positive direction, instead of getting stuck in fear cycles around transits that so many hobbyists slip into.
I understand why some people dislike astrology. It has a power that is sometimes misapplied.
Some people use it to attack others, ‘Oh I don’t date Leos anymore.’
Or, ‘You’re a Scorpio? Ugh, that must be hard.’
These are dismissive presumptions that we already know someone, without doing the work to learn who they are more fully.
The more you comprehend about actual charts, the more the Sun sign becomes a small detail in a big picture.
Self Care is Community Care
Even in this individualistic Western culture, many of us were taught to put others ahead of ourselves.
At first, this switch felt selfish to me.
Then, I witnessed my loving friends drain their vivacity in over-giving.
I saw how people came to rely on them and slowed their own self-reliance.
I saw the givers become resentful and sometimes shut off the support completely.
The tarot has a lot of cards about balance, and this is an area that often is skewed for many of us.
It’s essential that you show up for others, yes. It’s also imperative that you offer what feels sustainable so there’s energy left over for your own growth.
April’s Magical Opportunities & Free Tarot Reading
Free Reading Inside!
This month has lots of fun opportunities to learn!
My friend and colleague Sasa is running a free online retreat that starts this Monday. I will be speaking at it about the truths and misunderstandings around being psychic and how we are all psychic.
On April 13th, psychic medium Anna Alexander will lead a lesson online and in-person on How to Communicate with Your Spirit Guides.
After a long hiatus, I am leading my online class in the Art of Tarot Reading on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm to 7:30pm PST starting on April 29th through May 15th. This will likely not be running again for a long time! Hope you can join for this round!
Thrive in Venus Retrograde
At the start of March, our view of Venus went Retrograde. First in Aries, and then into Pisces.
After April 12th, our view of the morning star will appear to head in it’s normal path again.
What does this mean? How do we make the most of this?
Venus is aligned with relationships, money, creativity, and beauty. During a retrograde, it’s better to not make any grand shifts in these areas of life.
Free Reading for March: Power Up During Venus Retrograde
This month’s reading is intense, but ends well with the Chariot.
The good news is that you can find structure and balance in your own life with some prime choices…
Transform Stress with Mindfulness and Divination
Stress infiltrates our choices.
We might panic and rush into a decision too quickly.
Sometimes we blow up at people from a past hurt that the person standing in front of us may not have even caused.
Stress makes us hyper self-protect and shut down.
There is a lot of stress right now for many of us, and I find that learning new tools to access our higher self is one of the most powerful ways to stay centered in tough times.
The intuitive and divination arts are a pathway to uplevel in your mindfulness techniques.
Enlivened Learning: Take the Poll
The last time I taught a full 9-hour Art of Tarot Reading course was in October 2022.
I still plan to shift this into an evergreen online video program. I simply love the magic and connection that a live class online offers, and feel called to bring an opportunity to the community again.
