Overall Themes
Monday-Saturday
Patterns. We are facing our repetitive cycles this week. Both beneficial and damaging, we all have actions, habits, thoughts that swoop in to ease discomfort, tension or pain. I encourage you to notice what you turn to when life gets hard – when that moment of stillness or frustration arrives and instead of sitting in it, all of a sudden, you have to do something to get out of it. What is your natural go-to? Is it searching for chocolate, caving to that harsh inner voice that tells you you’re never going to make it, nail-biting, over-exercising, planning another “get-together” with friends, zoning out on instagram, tiktok, shows or music?
When you feel that pull this week, pause for a minute, and come back into your body.
Hold yourself here for a few minutes and see what happens. Notice the discomfort in your body and acknowledge it out loud - use your voice. Continue to sit with it. Any additional symptoms arising? Itching? Aches? Heart palpitations? Heat? This is your body talking to you. It’s communicating an emotion that is asking you to take a deeper look at an underlying need. You can run from it and distract yourself, but this is what you usually do, right? So perhaps just for this moment, try going a little longer with it. What comes up? How does your intuition guide you? If you’re having trouble interpreting the meaning of your body’s messages, pop into a single session with me this week and we can interpret it together.
If you’re able to sit with this stillness and feel the pulse of tension all the way through until it dissipates, what do you find at the end of it? A revelation, I bet. What lands for you? A delightful, surprising truth? Let me know what you uncover.
Saturday-Sunday
Over the weekend we will continue to go further inward. Reflecting on our patterns will lead us to consider, on a wider scale, where we are headed. Are we progressing as intended or are we lost, feeling disconnected and out of sync with ourselves and humanity as a whole? There is a divide in you between your internal masculine and feminine energies - a need for organization and answers, but an aching for freedom and possibilities.
A very feminine few days, you might feel a call to cultivate community and unity, a desire to be in flow instead of rigid form. Paired with taurus season and a leo moon… I’m predicting a lot of desire to create and post it all online, a need to cover your home in fresh flowers, and a longing to pack all your favorites around a table full of gorgeous and grounding foods. DO IT and invite me or send me pictures :).
Moon Schedule
The moon impacts your subconscious, your body is the physical expression of your subconscious, so your health is tied tightly to the rhythms and state of the moon. Let’s go over this week’s energetic weather:
April 28th - Moon Is In Taurus:
Body Zone 2: lower head, jaw, mouth, salivary glands, and tongue, ears, throat, thyroid, neck
Take extra care of yourself if you have a tendency towards hypo, hyper or autoimmune thyroid imbalance today; any extremes should pass tomorrow as the moon switches
Taurus is all about the body - savoring, relaxing, honoring. This is a lovely time to treat the body as you feel led. It’s also a time to slow down and move with intention.
April 29th - Moon Moves Into Gemini:
Body Zone 3: speech centers of the brain, upper lungs and inhaling, shoulders, arms and hands
You may find yourself chattier. It’s a great time for interviews, phone calls and presentations. This is also your reminder to slow down and take a breath between words, you might notice a tendency to hold your breath. Relieve tension in your shoulders with a massage - book with your favorite therapist or if you’re on the go - a theracane works magic!
April 30th - Venus enters Aries - you may feel relief of eye and head pressure today and a clearing of congestion. Copper and estrogen levels will drop dramatically, which can cause heart palpitations and, depending on your hormonal state, an energetic lightness or if you’re already deficient, dry skin and hair. The kidneys may be challenged due to the dryness, so please stay hydrated and enjoy potassium-rich foods or a supplemental form. Lastly, it is a very affectionate day, let yourself dance freely and soak in love!
May 1st - Moon Moves Into Cancer:
Body Zone 4: lower lungs, rib cage, breasts, diaphragm, esophagus and stomach
A tender energy, you may feel extra sensitive to light, temperature, sleep, and family/attachment-bond memories. This could show up as stomach or digestive symptoms.
Continue to focus on your breath as you did with the moon in Gemini
If you notice a challenge in your lung expansion, like an elephant is sitting on your chest, consider testing for mold and fungal toxins or improving oxygenation in the blood with nicotinamide - see me for dosing and test interpretation.
May 3rd - Moon Moves Into Leo
Body Zone 5: heart - muscles and electrical function, spinal alignment, gallbladder, back muscles
A great time to take extra magnesium to stay relaxed and open, contraction of the heart and back muscles can lead to anger, irritation, confusion and irrational action.
Leo is all about being seen and shining like the sun - show up online, for your people, let yourself glow and receive the attention. Your body will support you!
May 4th - Pluto goes retrograde in Aquarius. This is BIG. A sign tightly connected to chronic conditions, you will be invited to reset and consider the deeper meaning behind these symptoms. An inward journey, you may also find yourself re-evaluating arrangements, cultural constructs, old systems, repetitive mental patterns and decide you want a change! This is a season of reset and rebirth! This is my jam, so I’m excited to walk through this with you all!
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.
