What happens when passion, creativity, and the desire to release all that no longer serves you come together in the course of seven days? We’ll find out this week when two major transits signal energy shifts that will change your perspective and encourage you to embrace transition!
First up, we have a major energetic change as Mars – the planet of passion, willpower, and ambition – moves from airy, intellectual Aquarius to dreamy, sensitive Pisces on April 14th.
Mars is a driven, assertive sign that likes to take action and exert power, but Pisces – ruled by compassionate Neptune – sprinkles Mars’s energy with a bit of imagination, creative inspiration, and a dash of empathy.
While your actions may be driven by emotion during this transit, that can work out in your favor – as long as your energy is centered and you’re following your intuition. Exercise is a fantastic way to calm Mars’s aggressive energy while spending time in the water will help you connect to Pisces’s dreamy, creative vibrations.
To round off the week – and the month – with transition and release, we experience a Full Moon in the sign of Libra on April 16th. The Full Moon marks the end of a lunar cycle, the time when the Moon – and our emotions – are nearly spilling over. Libra’s balanced energy, however, helps you remain somewhat objective amidst heavy feelings.
The Full Moon is a time of revealed information and emotions, as well as a time of release.
Let go of the relationships, situations, thoughts, or habits that are toxic or no longer serving you. While letting go can feel difficult at first, you’ll feel carefree and weightless once you’ve freed yourself.
April 11th – April 17th is a Week to Ignite Creative Passion & Release Hindrances
Mars relies heavily on the creativity of Pisces to find momentum during this period, meaning that engaging your imagination is the key to igniting the fires of creative passion. One of the best ways to channel your muse is by releasing anything that’s holding you back, so take advantage of that releasing energy of the Libra Full Moon this week.
Do you find it hard to let go, even when you feel called to release something potentially harmful to your spirit? It’s time to trust your intuition and know that release leaves room for bigger and better blessings from the Universe!
