Stellar Insights for April 4-10
Taking Accountability for Our Actions
As the week begins, and the Mars/Saturn Conjunction becomes exact, a powerful theme becomes clear: the need for there to be accountability for our actions.
The moves we’ve made, the options we’ve chosen, the decisions we’ve acted upon…we may be seeing their results more clearly at this time. And with that, a sense of responsibility is heralded.
Yes, I did this. Yes, this was me. Yes, this was a choice I made.
These may be some of the statements we hear or think at this time, or those that we wish or demand others make.
Sometimes it is challenging and sobering to take ownership for what we’ve done—notably if the outcome of our actions caused us or others frustration, pain, or upset—and yet doing so can be motivating as well as healing. It’s honest and sets the stage for individual and collective movement that’s steeped in a foundation of integrity.
Yet, let’s not only focus upon this from the perspective of something difficult. We should also be accountable for our successes. It’s a time to review the things we’ve created, the manifestations of dedicated energy, diligent strategy, and hard work. Survey your life for those, seeing what seems to be taking on a solid structure and reward yourself with some praise, noting Yes, I did this. Yes, this was me. Yes, this was a choice I made.
All said, remember too that with Saturn being the keeper of time, things may still feel like they are moving at a slow-like-molasses pace early this week. Don’t pressure yourself for things to proceed at a speed that’s quicker than the momentum that they seem to naturally embrace right now.
On Tuesday, Venus shifts into Pisces, where it’s quite happy to be. And with that, we may find ourselves pulled towards love, and glamour, and our dreams. Barriers may dissipate between ourselves and others, as we sense what they are feeling as if we are experiencing it within ourselves. From there, compassion and empathy reign, notably as Venus is joining the ranks of Jupiter and Neptune also in this sign. The whole month has such a watery, flowing, and soulful undertone, notably too as we get closer to Jupiter and Neptune coming together (April 12) and then each of them uniting with Venus (Neptune does so on April 27 and Jupiter on April 30). And lest we not forget, Mars will join the pool party on April 14 when it depart Aquarius for Pisces.
As the weekend approaches, thanks to the Mercury/Pluto Square, our words may take us to deeper places, helping us to uncover that which has been kept out of sight. Dig into a topic that has a grasp on your attention. It may help to shift the energy so that you don’t unconsciously make digs at someone with whom you are in a conversation. Instead, you may then find the clarity to share your frustrations in a clear, rather than shrouded, manner.
May this week bring you beauty and the world more peace,
Stephanie
