Weekly Energetic Weather: 4.27-5.3.26

Overall Theme

Following quite a flurry of action and transactions this past month, we have suddenly slowed. You are being given space to recover, to catch up and to reflect on the results of your efforts and choices before you move headlong into that which this week’s full moon is bringing to your doorstep. What did you initiate? How do you feel about its impact on your life? Is it to be continued, and if so - in the same manner or does it need adjustments to make it sustainable?

Many of us Sensitives have been hit with a physical slowdown this past weekend, which is forcing us to stop this week. DON’T RESIST IT. I’m speaking to myself as well. The body is processing all that we’ve shifted this month, too. It is our ever-so-precious container and must be honored. Getting sick or seeing old symptoms return is not a coincidence. Yes, there is a spring variant going around, BUT your body is choosing to learn it and form its healthy immune response now for a reason. I share more about what I recommend for recovery here, if this is your story right now.

In addition to the pause, Thursday’s Scorpio full moon holds the energy of transformation, truth, and elimination. These themes will be woven throughout your week leading up to and after its shine. I find this fascinating in light of the slowdown this week. My sense is that we are being offered the space to dive deep - mentally and emotionally - as the body stops. Truths will rise in the quiet. Truths that can transform us, if we allow them. God’s seasonal cycle is giving you the extra universal energy to flush out the lies you’ve been believing and holding on to that can no longer control you. You know it. God knows it. It’s time to truly shake off that old heavy protective cloak and stand lighter and taller in the honesty of what you really need and are here to do. As always, you look to the house Scorpio rules for you, to understand the personal themes this will impact, or simply witness the themes of your thoughts and the general flow of your emotions, and the timing of life and all who walk in and walk out during this energy. You’ll see the patterns. Let them speak to you. Gentle observation is often where wisdom is found.

On a worldly scale, leading up to and on this weekend, there may be a lot of discussion around security, safety, and stability, a panic that drives focus on finances, goods, and resources. Use a long-term perspective here and do your best to trust your inner resilience over storing and hoarding external needs. Panic and extreme action are rarely the best answer. Instead, hold your nerve and don’t be afraid to say yes during the extremes. No matter how bad it looks, life will go on, and life will require you to move with it. Be gentle with yourself through it all, but bank on your inner courage too!


Moon Schedule

The moon gives you a FREE BODY SCAN. The moon energy highlights areas of your body. If these areas are thriving, you’ll glow. If not, it’ll show! Tune in and get an easy update on the state of your body through the consistent moon activity.

MOON enters Libra | 4.28

Ovaries. Libra rules balance in the ovaries. Healthy release of progesterones and estrogens. Libra also rules beauty in many ways and beauty can be deeply fueled by hormonal release in the female body. Seeking more beauty in the body? Focus on balance within your ovarian production. Under this moon, you may notice any challenges your ovaries are facing to rise ot the surface through sharp twinges, pain, acne, mood fluctuations or shifts in your cycle. If you are not experiencing pain-free periods of easy red flow, a consistent cycle that’s 28-36 days, healthy fluid release and temperature rise with ovulation (ideally near this week’s full moon), then a hormone check-in is recommended.

MOON enters Scorpio | 4.30 + Full Moon on 5.1

Scorpio also rules the ovaries, but unlike Libra, it is about extremes. This week will bring your hormones to the forefront if they are not balanced. You may experience a strong message from your body under this moon if you’re needing some desperate care. The colon and rectum are also highlighted and so if you notice a big intestinal flush or major constipation/bloating/back-up, then bringing in supports to help move whatever is stagnant inside you out is recommended! Try eating a sliver of citrus peel, chewing fennel seeds, abdominal massage, aloe vera juice at 8 oz+ or magnesium citrate. This energy is about deepening your commitment to truth and clearing out whatever has been holding on that is not benefiting you - the body will reflect this! With a BM clearing, you can feel the emotional release! Without it, you can feel the built-up frustration and anxiety. Get your internal body moving to move stuck emotions.

MOON enters Sagittarius | 5.2

Breathe. After all that has been faced and released this week. Welcome in the weekend with deep inhales of fresh air. Get outside and expand your lungs. Reset and refresh your mind and spirit with oxygen infusion. It’s simple, and it’s really all you need right now. Drink deep - inhale from the pelvic floor and feel your soul settle into your bones.

Your astrological map is a powerful tool to understand sources of chronic symptoms, health blocks, your body’s vulnerabilities and strengths, and the best preventative measures to stay strong, youthful, vibrant, and dis-ease free. I can introduce you to your map in my single session or use your astrology to dive very deep as a part of your Concierge Reset.

Ginger JuJube Congee with Tahini

beauty breakfast series


Under the weather? Low appetite, but know you need to eat? This is the beauty breakfast to soothe your soul and comfort your body without upsetting your digestion. I got hit this week and found myself craving warm and gentle meals. It’s easy to assemble, if you’re on your own, and relatively quick to cook!

A twist on the more traditional savory congee, don’t let the simplicity deceive you. With a mineral-rich kombu broth, immune-boosting and sinus-clearing ginger chunks, fortifying and beautifying jujubes, and anti-inflammatory, healthy-fat-rich tahini, this is no ordinary sick meal. It’s safe to eat early or late and will be very easeful on sensitive intestines. I’m not gonna lie. I made two batches of this over the last 3 days! It helped my body recover, and allowed me to feel nourished without much effort. Save this one for the next time you’re navigating a cold, a sensitive stomach or a decreased appetite.

The bonus is the kombu broth. You can make the broth with one or two ingredients and add significantly more minerals to your food! It’s sooooo easy to make if you keep a small bag of dried kombu in your pantry for moments like this. I love Eden Organic’s. They source from safe waters and are a reputable brand.

RECIPE


makes 3 bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 Kombu stick

  • Fresh Ginger

  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice, organic

  • 4 -5 ½ cups Spring Water

  • 1 tsp Avocado or Olive Oil

  • 3 Jujubes

  • 2-5 tbsp Tahini, organic

  • Cinnamon, organic

  • 1-4 tbsp Maple Syrup, organic

  • Celtic Sea Salt

  • Flakey Maldon Sea Salt


Instructions

  1. Add 4 cups of Spring Water to a medium to large pot.

  2. Chop some Ginger into knobs and add to water, along with Kombu stick.

  3. Bring water to a boil, then allow to simmer for 30 minutes = broth! If any white flakes float to the top or sides, gather and dispose.

  4. Once done, remove the opened kombu. You can save it and dice or slice it to add to salads, rice or pickled veggies or toss. Remove ginger knobs. Set pure broth aside to cool.

  5. Add 1 tsp of avocado or olive Oil to pot, then add rinsed Rice. Stir and slightly toast for 1-2 minutes.

  6. Dice at least 2-5 tbsp of fresh Ginger and slice open the 3 Jujubes.

  7. Measure amount of broth, if not 4 cups, then add more spring water till it reaches a measurement of 4 cups.

  8. Add the 4 cups of broth to the Rice, along with the 3 Jujubes, diced Ginger, and pinch of Celtic Sea Salt. Bring to a boil.

  9. Once boiling, lower to a simmer and cover pot, letting it cook on a very low setting for 30 minutes.

  10. After 30 minutes, take the pot off the heat and allow it to rest for 10 minutes, keep the lid on - do not peek!

  11. Once the 10 minutes have passed, remove the lid and stir in 2-3 tbsp of Tahini, Cinnamon and Maple Syrup to your preferred taste. Serve immediately, topped with a dollop of Tahini, light sprinkle of Cinnamon, a few drops of Maple Syrup, and a sprinkle of flaky Maldon Sea Salt 🤎

This stores well and is easy to reheat for the next 5-7 days!

Weekly Energetic Weather: 4.21-4.26.26

Overall Theme

Welcome to the sensual season! A moment to nourish yourself and come back to your body. To remember what it feels like to slow your breath and notice the details in that spring blossom. To watch the bees buzz around the fragrant jasmine and to feel the sun warm your face. It’s both a time of self-awareness and other-awareness. As you deepen into your body, you’ll notice time can almost stand still, and suddenly you see so much more in the teller’s face as you pay for groceries and hear even more in your friend’s voice as they share a story.

This is a lesson I keep learning over and over again. When I put my body first, when I prioritize what it’s asking of me before leaping to help or meet others, I’m able to give and be so much more for the humans in and around my life. Perhaps you agree with me in theory. Most do, but the reality of living this out day to day actually requires some intense self-trust and discipline. I find it’s waaaay easier to drop my needs and lean into others. It’s a culturally approved (and even praised) way of self-sabotaging and avoiding my real responsibilities. Dealing with my own needs doesn’t give me the high of a dopamine hit that making someone else feel rescued or seen does. In fact, it’s hard, uncomfortable, frustrating, and truly annoying most of the time. Why cant we just be superhumans and never have to deal with our bodies or health or sleep or eating ever again!? Well, this moment, this season, is all about cherishing what makes us human - these (very basic) needs. You know what you’re like if you don’t eat, sleep or take breaks… I definitely do, I’m a mess! Most of us are, even if it takes weeks, months or years to break us down. We will eventually collapse. And so will the systems we’ve worked so hard to keep standing. So in the name of divine stewardship of your body and for the love of all those in your life - you NEED to lean into your body this week. You NEED to embrace slowing down and taking care of yourself.

Now, I have had two of the busiest weeks I’ve seen in months, last week and this week, and so I’m in this right now, and the way I’m playing with balance is not necessarily saying no or pulling out or even numbing out. It’s simply slowing my mind and body down in the moments where I feel a pressure to rush, when my inner monologue is pushing me - “I have to get all this done or I have to respond to the list of people or I have to complete this project in 2 hours”. My past approaches were to just give in to the chaos and power through with all intention to collapse on the other side. This week…even as I send this email out close to midnight ;) I will be breathing deeper, closing my eyes, smelling the air, and observing more. Life doesn’t always allow for full retreats (as much as I am a fan of these), so we have to take minis. 1 min of your hand on your chest, slowing your breath before making a rushed decision, can change your entire day and as a result the way each person you encounter feels. Your state impacts everyone you touch. This week invites you to own your worth from a new angle. The more you value and sit in your body, the greater your healing influence on the world.

How are you going to sink deeper into your body this week? How can you slow down time, without retreating?


Moon Schedule

The moon gives you a FREE BODY SCAN. The moon energy highlights areas of your body. If these areas are thriving, you’ll glow. If not, it’ll show! Tune in and get an easy update on the state of your body through the consistent moon activity.

MOON enters Cancer | 4.21

Lungs, diaphragm, breath… how deep is your inhale right now? Over these next few days, see if you can’t start your inhalation from your pelvic floor. Simply draw your mind’s intention to your pelvic floor, and it’ll happen naturally. Expand your entire body, not just your chest. See how this feels. If your lungs are carrying any kind of bacteria, fungi or virus, now would be the time it shows up. Take extra care to stay warm, cover the back of your neck, and get fresh air. Nebulizing is the go-to to clear up any lung infection. I also love tapping my upper chest to wake up my lung capacity, clear any congestion, and to soften an contraction/stiffness of the intercostal tissue. You can do it anywhere!

MOON enters Leo | 4.23

Leos rule the heart and the gallbladder. The place of love and anger management. So under this new moon, you’ll be shown which is ruling your subconscious, as this part of you expresses itself through your body’s functions. Perhaps you’ll even feel the heat of both, but if you're aching or lonely, check your heart and vice versa. If you’re frustrated and holding onto pain and bitterness from the past…. watch for gallbladder symptoms: light and floating BMs, histamine rollercoasters, panic/anxiety, depression, low immunity, hemorrhoids, itchiness, migraines, and acne.

MOON enters Virgo | 4.26

We end the week with the energy that reviews the whole body. Make it your goal to arrive here having spent Tuesday-Saturday intimately connected to your body’s rhythms and messages (symptom expression). Under this moon, whatever is thriving will shine, and whatever is struggling will get loud. It's a quick and easy way to learn your body’s top priority in this season and to align with that focus. What in your body is asking for help, and where does it want you to start to heal efficiently? Observe your skin, BMs, sleep, energy levels, brain clarity and recall, appetite, and levels of reactions.

Your astrological map is a powerful tool to understand sources of chronic symptoms, health blocks, your body’s vulnerabilities and strengths, and the best preventative measures to stay strong, youthful, vibrant, and dis-ease free.

Chorizo & Delicata Squash Breakfast Burritos

beauty breakfast series


I am a recent 2026 breakfast burrito convert and this morning I’m here to evangelize! The burrito form in the morning was not something that spoke to me prior to this because whenever I saw them at beachside cafes, they looked heavy and greasy. Well, for the sake of a dear client’s busy schedule, I decided to give them my twist and see if I could pack one full of nutrients and deliciousness in a way that left her grounded, clear, and energized! It worked! Annnnd now they are a base I can play with all day long. I make them for myself as well as clients. Seasonal vegetables and herbs from the farmers market always make a splash and pair beautifully with a simply ground protein of choice. Now it’s your turn. Hopefully my instructions make it easy for you. Mix and match your fillings to your heart’s content. Just always include a protein, fat and carb and you can’t really go wrong! Have fun :)

Chef Tip: the real winner is the grain-free tortilla. I’m IN LOVE with Coyotas large burrito-size tortillas. Warmed to a doughy pliability, and they work beautifully. The cassava base it what makes it work very similarly to flour tortillas :)

RECIPE


macros

23g protein ~ 34g fat ~ 36g carbs

per burrito


makes 6 burritos

Ingredients

  • 3 medium Delicata Squash, organic

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil, organic

  • Celtic Sea Salt

  • 1 tbsp Ghee, organic

  • 1 White or Yellow Onion, organic

  • 1 lb Chorizo, quality pork is key

  • 4 Eggs, pasture-raised, organic

  • Whole Sour Cream, organic

  • Baby Arugula, organic

  • Bunch Cilantro, organic

  • Grain-Free Tortillas - love Coyotas


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees

  2. Prepare a baking pan lined with unbleached parchment paper

  3. Trim your Squash ends, then halve down the center, and halve again from tip to tail

  4. Scoop out seeds and slice 1/4-1/2 inch rainbows

  5. Add to a bowl and toss in olive oil and sea salt

  6. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray and roast for 30-40 min till soft and golden

  7. Dice Onion and Cilantro

  8. Plan Ghee in a medium saute pan and warm on medium heat, add onions and sweat or carmelize for more flavor

  9. Add Chorizo and cook through

  10. While cooking, whisk Eggs and then add to Chorizo

  11. Toss in as much baby Arugula as you desire. It really cooks down so go heavy. If you want less texture, trim the ends off first

  12. Add Cilantro at the very end, so it stays fresh

  13. In another large pan, heat up tortillas. Warm up pan to a med-high heat first, then add the tortilla. For best results, let it get doughy, very soft and bendy

  14. Cut parchment paper for burrito wrapping and stack on a flat surface. Leave enough horizontal space to tuck sides of the wrap

  15. Burrito assembly: lay warmed tortilla, then scoop Chorizo Egg and place on the part of the tortilla closest to you, anticipating the wrap movement upwards, top with a layer of the Squash, then finish with a hearty scoop of Sour Cream

  16. To roll, use both hands to lift and fold the sides, and lift and fold the end closest to you over it as you roll the burrito forward. The more you do it the easier it’ll get

  17. One last tip: once it’s rolled, hold the shape with your hands and gently press in to secure the burrito hold

  18. Lift the parchment from each end towards the center. At the top fold over, like you would an old school sandwich brown bag, then tuck and roll the sides

  19. Keep in the fridge for a week! To reheat simply pop in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes 🤎
