Storm's Weekly Breakdown for April 8, 2024 – April 14, 2024

All eyes this week will be on the solar eclipse. Although I do not discuss Chiron a lot in weekly forecasts, I feel it is important to understand the astrological maverick to use its energies. Chiron's transits are like a healing journey, highlighting our deepest wounds to help us heal.

Think of it as a wise teacher, showing us where we hurt and guiding us towards healing those areas. It's a time for reflection, growth, and turning our pain into our greatest strength. 

Monday, April 8, 2024

On Monday, the biggest feature of the solar eclipse that occurs at 2:21 PM EST is that the eclipse will exactly conjoin Chiron. This solar eclipse, connected to Chiron, illuminates our deepest wounds, offering a unique opportunity for transformation. Embrace this time for self-reflection and creative expression to guide your healing journey. This is also a moment to share your wisdom, teaching others through your experiences. Cultivate compassion, for it's through understanding our own pain that we can empathize with others. Set boundaries, practice forgiveness, and engage in holistic well-being practices. Remember, your wounds carry the seeds of your greatest strength and wisdom.

Thursday, April 11, 2024

We reach the halfway point in the Mercury retrograde season, as Mercury conjoins the Sun in Aries. Ordinarily, the Sun conjunct Mercury is about communicating and sharing ideas with others. However, while Mercury is retrograded, it allows us to self-reflect and examine the choices and decisions we have made over the last few months. Considering this conjunction occurs 3-4 times a year, it must be pretty important. While the Sun conjoins Mercury Rx, it’s an excellent time to work through any communication snafus that has occurred since Mercury ‘retched’ out last week. It’s also great for analyzing your business relationships and creating greater bonds with those you want to pursue, and let go of those that no longer work. On the personal level, the Sun conjunct Mercury Rx is the perfect time for self-examination, because it allows you to see the flaws in your plans for the future, and provides an opportunity to course correct when Mercury turns direct on April 25th.

Friday, April 12, 2024

On Friday, the Moon continues to move through airy Gemini, and it's like the universe is sparking a conversation, inviting us to dance with ideas, words, and connections. This is a prime time to weave the web of your network wider, reach out, and engage in lively dialogues that could open new doors. Let your curiosity be your guide; there’s no better moment to dive into learning something that piques your interest. Embrace Gemini's love for variety—juggle tasks with a bit more ease, and don’t shy away from adapting on the fly. Short trips or simply changing your routine can offer refreshing insights, so why not explore a new corner of your world? And remember, in this period of fluid communication, your words have power—use them to create, inspire, and connect.

Saturday, April 13, 2024 – Sunday, April 14, 2024

On Saturday, the Moon glides into Cancer, it's like coming home to a warm, comforting embrace. This is a time to cherish what's closest to our hearts: family, close friends, and our own inner sanctuary. Imagine wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket of self-care, perhaps with a nourishing meal or a quiet moment to reflect by the water's edge. Let your intuition guide you, listening to the whispers of your heart with compassion. It's also a moment to nurture the bonds that ground us, to find stability in the love and care we give and receive. Dive deep into your emotions, for they hold wisdom. Allow yourself to be cradled by this tender lunar hug, finding strength in vulnerability and connection.
