Saturn & Uranus: Create Order Out of Chaos on April 4
Pisces Saturn sextile Taurus Uranus @ 24°
April 4th @ 4:20 pm ET
Aries Saturn sextile Gemini Uranus @ 1°
August 11 @ 11:32 pm ET
This cycle happens every 45 years with the last Saturn-Uranus cycle beginning in 1988. This isn’t the completion of the cycle, but the last sextile. There are 3 sextiles over the next year, changing zodiac signs, in the middle and going back to the original zodiac signs due to retrograde periods.
The Saturn-Uranus exact waning sextile dates:
- April 4: Uranus in Taurus & Saturn in Pisces @ 24°
- August 11: Saturn in Aries & Uranus Gemini @ 1°
- January 20, 2026: Saturn in Pisces & Uranus in Taurus @ 27°
Saturn wants you to make things logical, reasonable and linear. Saturn loves the predictable, stable and constructive energies. This is earthly, practical and traditional. Uranus, on the other hand, loves chaos, shock & awe and shaking things to their core. Uranus wants the NEW, loathing anything outdated because they feel heavy, sedate and stale.
Put both of these planets together and they create out of chaos. Uranus brings something new and Saturn says, “Fine, I’ll make something great out of this.” Imagine having the discipline for innovation or demonstrating tenacity to construct original ideas.
The sheer amount of inventions, updating of old systems and outdated modes creates lots of work for people in these industries. Anyone in technology, science or radically original fields can take advantage of opportunities this year.
Saturn presses for everything boy scout – loyalty, honesty, honor and integrity, resulting in tremendous ethics at work, moral interactions and respectful activities. In addition to technical advances, there are also softer skills that arise such as; commitment to new ways of leading or the creation of new leadership.
This is a supportive energy with Saturn and Uranus searching for ways to work together to launch you into your soul mission. Think “When one door closes, another one opens.” Keep your eyes open and your mind clear to find the silver lining in everything that happens to you.
If you’re questioning “What is my soul mission?” Saturn and Uranus wrangled you beginning in February 2021 and didn’t end until October 2022. This was confounding, driving you crazy to push you out of what wasn’t working for you. This configuration didn’t give you solutions, only problems. Look back to see what changed for you.

Blast of Reality in April with Saturn on April 21
Saturn blends with the collective soul destiny and opposes the soul karma giving you the fortitude and discipline to develop spiritual routines. Your intuition wants to come forth in your life.
Venus also merges with the soul destiny to bring love, calm and beauty into the mix. She also wants you to wear your value. Lean into sweet love, romance and tender love notes. Imagine, dream and love on April 21st. To show up for yourself, check out what the collective soul destiny means for you.
Mars & Pluto: Pressurized Power on April 26
With Pluto in Aquarius, you experienced pressure to free yourself from other’s expectations to show up authentically for the 18 months between March 2023 and November 2024. This back and forth energy felt edgy and uncomfortable. Then, Mars added to the mix as he aggressively opposed Pluto from November 2024 through April 2025. It’s been like threading the needle ever since.
Leo Mars Rx opposite Aquarius Pluto @ 1°
January 3rd @ 2:22 am ET
Leo Mars opposite Aquarius Pluto @ 3°
April 26th @ 9:05 pm ET
Leo and Aquarius involve the development of your personality. Leo desires to be seen, heard and known through authentic expression. Aquarius seeks freedom of expression through uniqueness and originality. Leo leans in and Aquarius leans out. These opposing forces become epic energies with Mars and Pluto.
When Mars, the God of War, opposes Pluto, the God of Hell, there’s a wave of power that can’t be measured. Mars asks you, “Where in your life do you need to be more assertive?” Pluto asks you, “How can you love yourself limitlessly?”
Both of these planets push you beyond your comfort zone and put you into emotionally unsafe circumstances. They do it on purpose as they’re asking you to become more fully yourself. You will explore parts of yourself you don’t want to reveal. Remember you’re perfectly imperfect and use this time to get to know yourself better.
Mars adores Leo, yet not when he’s being smothered through the fire as he is when he’s retrograde. Then, he becomes volcanic. Add Pluto pushing you to break free to be you without apology. You can be unstoppable when you accept yourself, flaws and all.
If you’re feeling insecure, experiencing fear of missing out (FOMO) or constantly seeking approval, then remember how you’re different from others and celebrate yourself. You can also plan unusual experiences for the flamboyant or indulgent imprint as a way of self-soothing.
If you’re dissociating or relying too much on your mind, then get creative; go to the theater, a comedy club or your favorite museum to stir your heart. Be forthright with others in relationship and show up for yourself in creative ways.
Having fun is also a quick way to interrupt negative thoughts and impressions. I’ve been talking about this needle you’ve been threading since February 2024. For the last 13 months, you’ve set out to bravely reclaim your absolute power. When dealing with power, there are 2 sides, power reclamation and power plays. Unfortunately, you don’t get one without the other. To help you stop giving your power away, grab your free power masterclass right here.
Weekly success maps
Week 1: March 31 – April 6
This week feels like a heavy cloak has been lifted. Finally. It’s been too heavy for too long. The slogging energy of the personal retrogrades and Mars – Pluto opposition aren’t gone yet, but the other stars counteract these influences to the best of their ability. You feel bold, energized and blessed all at once.
When you roll up your sleeves and get to work, you can get results when you take steps to complete what you started in the last 6 months. Connect. Negotiate. Sell. It’s time to close these circuits. Get swept up in the social, strong and daring energies to have fun and expand your reach. This week’s mantra is work hard, play hard.
Week 2: April 7 – 13
A window into the future opens at the end of the week with the Full Moon on the 12th. Spend this entire week tying up loose ends to complete all of your current cycles in love, money and success. Recall what worked and didn’t work for you in 2022. Finish anything you started or wrangled with then. What doesn’t come to fruition, isn’t yours to bring into the future. What comes together now is part of your potential.
The stars create conflict, difficulties and changes you may or may not welcome. Embrace everything that happens as your soul has led you to this place and these people at this time. There’s a reason for everything that happens this week.

When your soul leads you to success, you become the rich and powerful leader you were born to be. Step into your soul mission to reorient yourself to your true purpose, power and prosperity.
Week 3: April 14 – 20
The fires are burning through the chaff that’s lying around you. You’re faced with opportunities to shed what (and who) don’t fit anymore. You’ve been feeling chaotic or stuck for so long, this recent shifting makes you question yourself. These shifting sands don’t assure you and may knock you off center. Don’t let them. You can create order out of chaos this month, particularly this week. Your energy increases, your heart opens and your mind steps into deep and introspective thoughts.
Revisit your priorities, choices and next steps to settle your mind. Set up self-care routines, go out in nature and find fun ways to reconnect with yourself. Explore your immediate surroundings in life and business. Who are you spending time with these days? How does your home and office reflect your satisfying success? Does your image and style live up to your future? It’s time to level up. You’re worth it.
Week 4: April 21 – 27
The pressures build all week. The precision and alignment intentions for 2025 become obvious. Every minute of every day you are under a microscope. Your thoughts matter. Your words matter. Your actions matter. Being unapologetically discerning is your best bet. Recall what’s been stirring you up in the last 6 months and what started as something new a year ago. Make a list of both to perceive what’s right for you and what’s not.
Go into your heart or your body to listen to your instincts when assessing who to connect with and what to do next. Speak your truth and be honest about what truly matters to you. Stand up when you get knocked around, especially with passive-aggressive behaviors. In meditation or when journaling, ask to see more clearly. Say “Show me” so you can see what’s hidden and be ready to take action based on what comes to you.

Moon magic
The Moon is incredibly powerful as she moves the tides on earth. Think about that power for a moment. The Moon moves the ocean and since people are 70% water, the Moon moves each person whether you’re aware of it or not. The Moon is also amazingly personal as she represents your heart.
If you’d like to dive more deeply into the energies of the Moon, here’s free access to a 4-part video series and related guide. Get your access here.
When the Moon moves through her phases, she gives you the ability to leverage her power for that part of her cycle. The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want.
Here’s a summary of the phases and what you should do:
- The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
- From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
- The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
- From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.
You can get everything Moon magic when you subscribe to Your Star Path to Success podcasts. We do Full and New Moon rituals every month.
Full Moon: Be the Change You Wish to See in the World
Details: April 12th Full Moon Sun in Aries & Moon Libra 23° @ 8:23 pm ET
The 23° equates to 5 in numerology as the 2 + 3 = 5. The number 5 signals change to help you step into your genius. There’s a ton of star energy in the signs of Pisces and Aries, putting one foot into the past and the other into the future. Unity and individualization, intuition and practicality, and dissolving and energizing are the cosmic pairs that push and pull you during this Full Moon.
With the Sun and Moon opposing each other, they each connect with Chiron, providing support for the changes that heal you and the earth. As the world comes into focus, you awaken to what serves you for who you truly are and for what you’re meant to do. As you wrangle with these questions, the stars anchor you into the true meaning of your life. The support they provide is strengthening and rooting.
For the first time in years, you can stand in your convictions. It may not be easy or comfortable due to the changes this requires, but it’s possible. You’re given the opportunity to become unwavering in your convictions. This is invaluable and worth the pain of making the necessary changes.
New Moon: Build Your Foundation
Details: April 27th New Moon in Taurus 7° @ 3:33 pm ET
The stars have been direct for the last few weeks and the focus you got at the beginning of the month has gotten traction. This feels good. Forward movement is always welcome. Building your foundation for success, love and money
is aligned with you living your soul mission.
Express your wholeness by giving yourself permission to shore up those areas that need a boost and to lean into your strengths. After exploring every aspect of your goals, priorities and choices, set intentions for the remainder of the year. Be kind to yourself and try not to tax yourself with overachieving targets. Satisfaction is as, if not more, important than success.
Magical tools
Divination Tool for Your Mind
Oracle cards can help you move your mind from running amuck to slowing down, so you can begin to develop your intuition to communicate with your soul.
The oracle cards bring insight into what’s coming for the month. They give your mind something to focus on and remember as you go through the days and weeks. You can ponder the card or go into the guidance in the book when you need more than mental reminders.
Earthly Tools for Your Heart
The earthly kingdoms help you shift your vibration through their power and move your energy from your mind into your heart. The animal kingdom help you get things done, the crystals help you realize your intentions by adding their energy to yours
The power of animal and crystal energy are easy to employ to help you create the success and satisfaction you desire. Spirit animals are always willing to assist. Simply call on the animal to bring their power into focus and ponder the animal meaning. When you’re facing issues, the animal energy can help navigate through or around them.
For crystals, grab the crystal and put it on your desk, purse or kitchen table. The crystal can be activated through your intentional goals or your dreams or wishes. The crystal holds this intention for you for the entire month. Crystals can also support your ability to release blocks so you can clear your pathway. When you want to align with your success and this month’s stone helps you do that.
Flower essences are gentle, yet incredibly powerful to help your emotional body. They smooth out thoughts and emotions as they help you align with your soul. I adore flower essences because they represent their mature growth in nature to give you their healing properties without having to leave your home or office.
To take flower essences, simply put 3 drops into water 3 times a day and feel the gentle support for your body and emotions.
Monthly Oracle Card: 3-Wonder
Falling into wonder brings surprising insight, better yet, it allows your intuition a chance to speak to you. What has your intuition been telling you? Can you have a fun conversation with your intuitive side?
Free your mind to reflect, ponder and ruminate and then free it even more by letting it dream and imagine. Open yourself to the delight of the unexpected and surprising. Revel in the unknown. This is not the time for answers, but is ripe for questions.
Set aside 15 minutes to lay on your back to look at the clouds and see the images they make. After 10 minutes, let your mind wonder about whatever pops into your head.
Go for a Sunday drive without any destination. See what treasures you find along the way.
Spirit Animal: Bat
Bats can see in the dark and knows exactly the right direction to go in at all times. This is a helpful talent to tap into this month, especially when your eyes have recently gotten their sight. Bats sensory antennas send out their signals far and wide to discover if any obstacles stand in the way.
This spirit animal supports you at the moment of the awakening with Neptune entering Aries at the end of March. Bats are fearless, always at the ready and willing to explore areas whether they’re known or unknown. Bat medicine supports you mightily in this New Era.
Call on bat when you’re unsure of where to go or how to get to the next step. Call on bat when you fear what’s happening or not happening for you right now. Call on bat as you step into the changes required to bring about your best future.
Crystal: Citrine
Seek respite in the stone of the month: CITRINE.
Citrine is a manifestation stone as it helps magnify wishes and blessings. It awakens creativity and imagination, clears the mind and stirs the soul to action.
Citrine carries the energy of the Sun. It’s warm, powerful and live-giving. It brings you confidence, creativity and a fullness for life. It’s an abundant stone as it generates and protects wealth. It promotes generosity yet assists you in holding onto your wealth. It’s called the Merchant Stone as it attracts prosperity.
This stone harmonizes relationships, attracts love and happiness. It provides solutions, assists in understanding and smooths conflicts. Citrine transmutes negative energies and provides protection on many levels. It never needs cleansing as it doesn’t hold or accumulate negative energy.
This stone is a multi-tasker and one that supports each of the opportunities available to you this month.
Flower Essence: Wild Oat
Wild oat is an excellent flower essence to get you aligned with your vocation. Your calling is waiting to unfold with you as you open to your heart and soul. Wild oat restores your emotional wellbeing as you learn let your soul lead. You move from uncertainty to resolve of purpose in gentle ways.
Wild oat is perfect for these Arian energies that feel too loud and bold, making you want to take a step back instead of forward. Moving forward isn’t a choice right now. Forward momentum is picking up speed. The stars are positioning you to open to the greatest version of yourself.

Intuitive success signature forecasts
Following my success-making Do You Know, Like and Trust Yourself ® methodology, tap into the energies of your Intuitive Success Signature for the best results this month. If you haven’t taken the quiz yet, here’s the link.
Wise Strategist
Deep down, you’re a sage and when you open your heart as much as you sharpen your mind, you come into balance to reclaim parts of yourself you may have left behind in your pursuit to make everything work as perfectly as possible. April throws a lot of punches asking you to step into your power. Your power, Wise Strategist, is to tap into your intuition, take action based on your instincts and put down too much effort and work. Life doesn’t have to be hard. Life can be easy. Make this your mantra, “How can it be easy?” Watch what unfolds.
Intuitive Visionary
Welcome to April, Oracle. These fiery energies this month flow with you when you embrace your power, yet burn your resolve when you get distracted with other’s advice. Following your own path meets your unique ways, creating open channels for people to come to you. Channel the right path to attract the right people. Develop methods, procedures and processes to bring them further into your world. Your audience needs you to be clear and accessible, not vague or agitated.
Collaborative Explorer
You’re a natural sensor with your antennas facing outward to assess how others are being met or not met. This month, it’s too much. People are thrown off by the clarity and focus, so grasp at straws to find their footing. Permit yourself to choose you in any given situation. Say, I choose myself or I choose me when you find yourself wavering by putting others first. You are the priority. Be precise and align with your soul. It’s been waiting for you.
Ruling Warrior
Step into your innovative gifts. Let your heart be as open as it is powerful. You’re a leader and this New Era needs leaders desperately. Most people are afraid and unwilling to take action due to the unknown and uncomfortable nature of all of the changes required to be successful right now. You are in the right place at the right time to lead people into this unknown territory. Step in with an open heart.
Creative Superstar
You are a mystic, even if you don’t identify as one. Think about how you pluck ideas from nowhere as easily as you appeal to people you’ve never met. Your mystic gifts are based on your curiosity, seeking knowledge, information or connection with things you don’t understand but call to you. It’s this calling and your willingness to explore anything and everything that sparks your mysticism.
Loving Alchemist
Loving Alchemist, you are a magician. You can spin gold out of thin air. With every problem, complication or obstacle, you can resolve, unwind and leap over with a single wish. Taking the time to energetically or intuitively step in and see what arises, then and only then, seek practical methods. Ask “How am I magical?” or “How will my magic help me right now?” Blossom into your deepest power and gifts
Bottom line
April has its ups and downs. Navigating through the days and weeks correspond with these ups and downs. Aligning with your soul mission is heart and body based. This is sometimes complicated by the cosmic swings. When you claim your own power and energy, you can mute the cosmic pitfalls and amplify their positive forces.
