Today, the fire within you stirsnot to burn you out,but to burn you brighter. As the First Quarter Moon rises in Leo and Pluto turns inward in Aquarius,you are invited into a deeper becoming.Not through force.Not through performance.But through devotion to your own unfolding truth. In this episode, we explore:• The most embodied expression of today's energy—sovereign creativity, heart-led leadership, and soul-rooted transformation• The shadow invitations—fear of visibility, clinging to old power structures, mistaking approval for alignment• Embodiment practices to honour the sacred discomfort of change• Business reflections to root your leadership, voice, and offerings in unapologetic truth You don't need to have it all figured out.You don't need to wait for perfection.You only need to trust the fire that is rising inside you now. And if you're craving a space where your evolution is honoured, your leadership is soul-led, and your creative brilliance is nurtured with reverence—✨ The Soul Seeker Society is waiting for you. You are not here to fit into old molds.You are here to rise—wholly, wildly, you. With devotion always,Courtney x

Timestamps [1:17] Venus enters Aries on April 30 (10:16 am PDT, until June 5); look for connections to Feb.3 and March 27, when Venus previously visited the first degree of Aries. Venus in Aries likes to move fast, might be prone to impulse shopping, and likes the thrill of the romantic chase. [4:21] Venus conjoins Neptune at 1º08' Aries (May 2, 10:07 am PDT). Look for connections to Feb. 1 (Venus direct) and March 27 (Venus Rx), when Venus previously conjoined Neptune, especially related to relationships and finances. [7:27] Moon Report! The First Quarter Moon in Leeeeoo is on May 4 (6:52 am PDT) at 14°21' Leo and Taurus. This is the phase to take action towards those New Moon goals from the April 27 Taurus New Moon. The Moon is on Sabian symbol 15 Leo, A pageant, so celebrate a little bit, throw a party, go dancing! [9:05] This is the First Quarter phase (first action point) in a lunar phase family cycle (LPFC) that began with the New Moon on Aug. 4, 2024, at 12º34' Leo. The Full Moon (awareness point) of this LPFC is on Feb. 1, 2026, and the Last Quarter Moon (final action point) on Nov. 1, 2026. [10:25] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. On April 28 (10:18 pm PDT), the Moon in Taurus sextiles Venus in Pisces. It's VOC for 1 hour, 16 minutes, and then enters Gemini (11:34 pm PDT). Make it part of your daily routine to enjoy a little time out, relaxation, and indulgence, especially if you tend to work hard and not take enough time for yourself. [11:32] On April 30 (8:49 pm PDT), the Moon in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces. It's VOC for 3 hours, 34 minutes, and then enters Cancer on May 1 (12:23 am PDT). Use this VOC Moon period to think about how we can use any recent setbacks, obstacles, or rejections to improve communication, and that means listening as well.  Work hard on developing communication skills that are a little bit sensitive and intuitive, as opposed to just coming from the mind, coming from the heart as well. [12:55] On May 3 (1:02 am PDT), the Moon in Cancer trines Saturn in Pisces. It's VOC for 3 hours, 27 minutes, and then enters Leo (4:29 am PDT). If you are awake, use this VOC period to develop a solid work routine. Because in doing that, your emotions will be more stable, your confidence will get a boost, which will increase the respect you receive from others. [14:14] Pluto stations retrograde (May 4, 8:27 am PDT, until Oct. 13) at 3º49' Aquarius. With Pluto is still being opposed by Mars in Leo, this is not a quiet descent into the underworld, it's more like a fiery plunge. Pluto stations on the Sabian symbol 4 Aquarius, A Hindu healer. Pluto heals through burning away whatever has been holding us back from being our true selves. [16:16] Listener Anna asks about the opposition aspect in astrology.

The astrology this week is lighter and more liminal than the last several weeks. It invites a re-enchantment with life, especially in matters of your heart. This week's astrology includes:- Venus moves into Aries on Wed 4/30: An energizing initiation of fresh energy around relationships, love, beauty, healing pursuits, art, creativity. You may feel a readiness to move forward now, especially on relational themes that were on your heart in February and March (since Venus was already in Aries in Feb 5 – March 27 as a part of its retrograde process).- Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries: Both Saturn and Neptune have been an integral part of this Venus Retrograde this March – April. The conjunction becoming exact this week symbolizes a further re-enchantment of your capacity for love, union, and enjoyment. There's potential for full immersion into relational or creative things . . . as well as possibilities for enmeshment, blurring of boundaries, or illusions to arise. Neptune often helps us see our idealizations first by experiencing them unconsciously (i.e. being “in it” first). Over time we get to see people and situations as they are (rather than how we want them to be). There's beauty in the ideal as well as the reality when we hold it softly.- First Quarter Moon in Leo on Sun 5/4 at 6:52am PT: This point in the lunar cycle marks a crossroads for decisions. You may feel drawn to focus or reorient your energy toward what is most pressing right now. This First Quarter Moon in Leo emphasizes your relationship to giving and receiving affection, attention, and your magnetic pull on others. It provides opportunities to embody your inner spark. This First Quarter Moon also punctuates the dissipating Sun-Mars-Pluto t-square, so there may be additional insights or clarity around your autonomy, power, and control.- Pluto Stations Retrograde: This is a subtle component of the astrology this week. Pluto (along with the other outer planets) is retrograde about half the year. It's retrograde means that over the summer and fall, Pluto will slowly and slightly shift back a few degrees in the zodiac to about 0 degrees Aquarius. This symbolizes a concentration of Pluto in this place, meaning that any transits to Pluto will be more concrete, slow, steady, and take time to integrate.- Sun-Uranus in Taurus opposite Vesta-Juno in Scorpio: Bringing light, liberation, and awakening to the things that you are devoted to.Reflection Questions: 1.   What is your heart telling you now?  2.   How do you tend to idealize people or situations? 3.   How can you embody both strength and flexibility?Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety

This week, Venus teams up with Saturn and both make inspiring connections with the Moon's North Node. The normally mellow Taurus New Moon is disrupted by power struggles, as the Sun squares, and Mars opposes, Pluto. And (appropriately) a listener question about scary Pluto transits. Plus: Saturn tactics for tough times, folded horns, and bathing with Venus! Read a full transcript of this episode. Have a question you'd like answered on the show? Email April or leave it here!

Timestamps [1:12] Saturn conjuncts the North Node (April 21, 4:31 am PDT) at 26°50' Pisces, on Sabian symbol 27 Pisces, A Harvest Moon. This is the first conjunction between Saturn and the North Node since September 2013. You might succeed in a way that you have envisioned and hoped for, but sometimes the success comes in a form you never could have imagined. [2:28] Venus conjuncts the North Node (April 23, 9:35 pm PDT) at 26°54' Pisces. This transit can indicate that close friends or partners are helping you achieve success.  [3:00] The Sun squares Pluto (April 23, 10:10 am PDT) at 3º47' Taurus-Aquarius. The Sun's Sabian symbol is 4 Taurus, The rainbow's pot of gold; Pluto is on 4 Aquarius, A Hindu healer. Claim your importance, and let go of anything that you no longer need.  [5:26] Venus conjuncts Saturn (April 24, 5:02 pm PDT) at 27°13' Pisces, on Sabian symbol 28 Pisces, A fertile garden under the Full Moon. This concludes a Venus-Saturn series that began on Jan. 18 and repeated on April 7. Are you any clearer about what you want in relationships and in the way you earn your money?  [7:53] Mars opposes Pluto (April 26, 6:05 pm PDT) at 3º48' Leo-Aquarius. The usual interpretation of Mars with Pluto has to do with power struggles and dealing with forces beyond your control. What matters most in these situations is how you handle powerlessness, anger, and frustration. Mars' Sabian symbol, 4 Leo, is A man formally dressed and a deer with its horns folded. Pluto's Sabian symbol is sometimes written as, A Hindu Yogi demonstrates his healing powers. [10:18] Moon Report! The Taurus New Moon is on April 27 (12:31 pm PDT), at 7º46' Taurus. The Moon is exalted in the sign of Taurus, so this is one of the most powerful New Moons of the year. But the Mars-Pluto opposition makes this a little more of a tumultuous New Moon. Taurus is ruled by Venus, so enjoy the sensual aspects of life. The Sabian symbol for this New Moon degree is 8 Taurus, A sleigh without snow. [13:29] This New Moon begins a lunar phase family cycle (LPFC) that unfolds over the next three years. Make a careful note of what your intentions are, what you would like to achieve in your physical health, financial abundance, and sense of security. Jan. 25, 2026 is the First Quarter Moon (first action point) of this LPFC, the Full Moon (awareness point) is on Oct. 25, 2026, the Last Quarter Moon (final action point) is on July 26, 2027. [15:34] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. On April 22 (2:55 pm PDT), the Moon in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus. It's VOC for 7 hours 12 minutes, then enters Pisces (10:07 pm PDT). Step out of your safety zone to do things on your own. [16:40] On April 24 (7:57 pm PDT), the Moon in Pisces conjoins Venus. It's VOC for 4 hours 27 minutes, then enters Aries on April 25 (12:24 am PDT). Enjoy all of the Venusian things life has to offer, but don't go overboard. [18:11] On April 26 (9:18 am PDT), the Moon in Aries sextiles Jupiter. The Moon is VOC for 14 hours 59 minutes (!!!), then enters Taurus on April 27 (12:17 am PDT). Share the good things that come your way and offer encouraging words to other people. [19:18] Listener Pomahoba asks about scary Pluto transits.

This is part of an ongoing series of Venus-Saturn conversations about how to make ends meet and how to support ourselves effectively, both financially and in matters of the heart. [3:55] Mercury, retrograde since March 14, stations direct (April 7, 4:08 am PDT) at 26º49' Pisces, on Sabian symbol 27 Pisces, A Harvest Moon.  [6:03] Venus sextiles Uranus (April 7, 9:48 PM PDT) at 25°05' Pisces-Taurus. A rebellious Venus, and if you get too wild, Venus's conjunction to Saturn guarantees that there will be consequences. A motivating transit, especially for more financial freedom, but more financial volatility as well. [7:54] Mercury conjoins the North Node (April 10, 6:01 PM PDT) at 27º23' Pisces. New information comes to light about how to attain desires. [9:08] On April 11 (7:27 am PDT), Mars trines the North Node at 27°22' Cancer-Pisces. What would spiritual, artistic, and romantic satisfaction look like to you?  [10:13] Moon Report! The Full Moon in Libra is on April 12 (5:22 PM PDT) at 23º20' Libra. Full Moons in general, and a Full Moon in Libra in particular, are closely connected with one-on-one relationships. Are our relationships fair, harmonious, in balance? The Full Moon's Sabian symbol is 24 Libra, A third wing on the left side of a butterfly. The Sun and Full Moon form a T-Square with Mars in Cancer, introducing passion and potential for conflict in our closest relationships. [12:32] This is the Full Moon (awareness point) in a lunar phase family cycle (LPFC) that began with the New Moon on Oct. 14, 2023 at 21º07' Libra. The First Quarter Moon in this LPFC (first action point) was on July 13, 2024,  Last Quarter (final action point) comes on Jan. 10, 2026. [14:04] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon Periods.

When Venus is retrograde (since March 1), desires and aesthetics lean toward the unconventional and sometimes knock relationships off balance. Money matters have also been unstable. Venus turning direct should eventually settle relationship strife and financial unrest. The Sabian symbol for this station is 25 Pisces, The purging of the priesthood.  [20:13] Listener Helio asks about medical astrology. Click here to download a medical astrology cheatsheet!

The Aries Ingress chart is used by astrologers to cast a chart, using the capital of their country, to get a feel for what the upcoming year could look like.

[3:15] On March 5 (5:13 am PST), Mercury makes the first of three sextiles to Pluto (the others are on March 25 and April 20), at 3º00' Aries and Aquarius. It's the beginning of a three-part story about the truth of who we are, who others are, and the nature of situations. [6:24] Moon Report! The Gemini First Quarter Moon is on March 6 (8:32 am PST) at 16º21' Gemini. Take action on your Feb. 27 Pisces New Moon plans.
