everything is moving!

hi friendssssss

I’m taking a sort of hiatus this week as I’m moving! So this week is just some brief astro thoughts and a bunch of my favorite resources:

This Wednesday is the Libra full moon. I wrote a little bit about the energetics of Libra last fall during the new moon, and here is my guide from the Taurus full moon with full moon rituals.

The astrology of April is intense. It’s extremely Aries-heavy and thus extremely Mars-y. Harness the power where you need it — use it to get shit done but be careful not to burn out. If you’re feeling antsy, it’s a great time to sweat, move, plant seeds for new things.

But at least for me, the start to Aries season has been kind of foggy. I’ve been low energy, in part, I think, because Aries is my 12th house (the unseen, the unknown, the subconscious, the dreamspace), but also because Neptune and Saturn are there in the early degrees of Aries, which adds a heavy layer to this fiery sign.

The benefit, I’ve been finding, has been that nothing lasts for long. Feelings move quickly, energy changes quickly, nothing gets stuck for more than an hour or two. I’ve been leaning into riding that wave and it’s been working for me. Change is such a blessing.

Okay! Time to pack my bathroom. I love you all, and I leave you with some recommendations (I listen to most of these on spotify, but I’ll give you youtube links for ease of access) <3

My number one — my teacher Adam Elenbaas. Adam does a daily astrology show, and I can’t say enough good things about what a thoughtful teacher and spiritual guide he is, and how much I love his approach to astrology. This recent episode on how to track lunar cycles was great and I think readers of this newsletter will appreciate it. I’m currently a student in Adam’s school, which I highly recommend. If you’re interested in it, lmk!

The Queen — CHANI. My recent mission in life has been getting everyone to delete Co-Star and get the CHANI app instead. Co-Star uses AI to write your daily horoscopes! Ew. CHANI is AI-free, and she’s a fantastic traditional astrologer with a great weekly forecast podcast, as well as weekly readings tailored to your rising sign if you have an app membership.

A modern taste — I don’t do a ton of modern astrology but I really like Initiations by Jules Ferrari. I love her approach and learn a lot from her. I also really like Pam Gregory, whose new and full moon talks are prophetic.

The Astrology Podcast — This is my go-to for mundane astrology (the astrology of politics, current events, etc.). Their monthly overviews are a vital resource for me!

A few books — Liz Greene’s Saturn: A New Look At The Old Devil (I love this book; my only gripe is that she conflates the signs and the houses, but I got a lot out of it). The Twelve Houses by Howard Sasportas (great if you want to start to really understand the houses, which was a total astrological breakthrough for me). Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice by Demetra George (THE Hellenistic astrology textbook if you are ready to really dive in). I’m also currently listening to Demetra’s Mysteries of the Dark Moon and it’s really speaking to me.

Have a great week my angels!
