Weekly Energetic Update 4.28.25

Friends, we are officially at the end of another month, and as April draws to a close, the cosmos offers us a rich tapestry of energies that invite grounding, reflection, and the setting of intentions. With the universe providing such favorable circumstances, it’s an excellent time to engage deeply with our inner selves. We have shifting planets, the beginning of a new retrograde, and a lot of energy to make moves towards success in a big way.

Energy as of Monday

We feel the New Moon energy on Monday, from the Taurus New Moon on Sunday. At the start of the week, we are reminded of the importance of grounding and stability. This is the perfect moment to slow down and move deliberately in our lives. The Taurus heavy energy on Monday embodies a strong connection to the physical world, encouraging us to savor life’s simple pleasures. Activities like cooking a nourishing meal or tending to your garden can provide comfort and foster self-reflection. According to recent studies, spending just 20 minutes in nature can reduce stress by up to 30%. Use this time to reconnect with what truly grounds you. The theme of " just go touch grass" continues through the middle of May until the Sun shifts into Gemini. So, when in doubt, if you are feeling off or angry, go touch some grass and get out in nature.

New to This Week

After the Moon leaves Taurus, we get a little peak in energy and communication that allows for some levity in the middle of the week with the Moon in Gemini. By April 30th, Venus enters Aries, the overall atmosphere becomes charged with passion and boldness. This alignment invigorates our love lives and creative endeavors, compelling us to act decisively in matters of the heart. Aries's vibrant energy encourages us to pursue our aspirations without hesitation. Channel this energy by reaching out to someone you’ve been wanting to connect with or starting a project that has been on your mind. Channel your inner Aries for enthusiasm. Now is the time to act on your desires with confidence.

Unfortunately for us, our retrograde-free sky was short-lived. On May 4, Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius, prompting us to reflect on societal dynamics and collective goals. This retrograde period encourages us to analyze how we interact with power structures and our roles within them. As Pluto draws our attention inward, take this time to assess your values and the changes you want to make, either personally or in your community. With Pluto being in Aquarius, that means we are going to feel this shift in a major collective way. This is a macro retrograde, and we will see exactly who is working for or against the collective's best interest while Pluto is retrograding.

How to Maximize This Week's Energy

With a retrograde rounding out this week, it is crucial to have the days leading up to it be filled with ways to maximize the energy and prepare for any of the wonkiness that may come. With the Taurus and Aries energy in play, we are going to feel like a tug of war between a tortoise and a hare. Here are some ways to operate at your best during this type of energy.

• Connect with Taurus Grounding

  • To fully embrace the grounding energy of Taurus, slow down and enjoy the small pleasures in life. Spend time outdoors, savor your favorite meals, and create a comforting space in your home. Engaging in mindfulness practices like yoga or meditation can significantly reduce anxiety. Just 10 minutes of meditation can lower cortisol levels by as much as 25%. These practices provide a sturdy foundation to build upon as the week unfolds.

• Set Solid Intentions

  • Take advantage of the new lunar cycle to set clear intentions that align with your long-term stability and values. Write down your aspirations and what brings you comfort and joy.

  • To stay on track, revisit these intentions consistently throughout the week. Engaging in practical actions such as creating a vision board or sharing your goals with a friend can improve the likelihood of achieving your objectives.

• Be Bold with Venus in Aries

  • With Venus energizing our passion in Aries, this is the time to be assertive in your artistic and romantic pursuits. Embrace this vibrant energy and take steps toward what truly makes you happy. Consider collaborating with others on projects or being open about your needs in relationships.

• Embrace Patience

  • As Pluto retrogrades, take time to reflect instead of forcing change. This period provides valuable insight into your relationship with power and the structures around you. Consider journaling during this phase to document insights and lessons learned.

• Reinforce Self-Worth

  • As energies shift, it’s crucial to center yourself in your values and affirm your self-worth. Rather than comparing yourself to others, focus on your path and the unique strengths you possess. Engage in self-care practices that boost your confidence. Whether through positive affirmations or surrounding yourself with supportive communities, nurturing your self-esteem can significantly improve your overall well-being.

Reflect and Recharge

The week of April 28 brings a powerful blend of energies encouraging us to slow down and reflect, while being bold and making moves. Take a moment to connect with the energies around you, nurturing your inner self and cultivating grounding experiences that will support your journey in the weeks ahead.

As cosmic energies shift, remain open, grounded, and let your intuition guide you through this transformative time. Happy exploring!

Until next time,

xoxo
