This week’s astrology is loud in the feelings and soft in the heart. We’re moving through big emotional expression, tender love energy, and the beginning of a bold new chapter, so expect truth, vulnerability, and courage to all be asking for airtime.

Join the Spring Cohort of A Very Human Season

VHS is a small group, a 4-week cohort for people in transition.

If something in your life is ending, loosening, or no longer fits, and what’s next isn’t clear yet, this cohort might be very supportive

Using the tools of psychological astrology, mindfulness, and guided reflection to help you make sense of the in-between, stay grounded in uncertainty, and listen for what’s emerging.

This Week’s Transit Vibes IRL

Moon + LEO + Jupiter 
Babe, your feelings are needin’, wantin’, and requiring to be seen, known, and heard at this moment. At the highest expression, this can be a time of emotional honesty that inspires others.

If you are feeling messy (and honestly, this is me ATM) This energy can look like:
- Overreacting
- Needing validation a little too loudly (🙋‍♀️)
- Turning every feeling into a performance

A micropractice that can help shift us if we find we are low vibin’ in this energy

Leo + Jupiter loves symbol, play, and immediacy.

1. Pick an emoji that matches your current feeling
Don’t overthink. First one that pops up.

2. Add one modifier emoji
🔥 😭 ✨ 🫠 👀
This captures the tone, not the story.

3. Translate it into one human sentence
Silently say: Right now I feel ___ and that’s allowed.”

4. Ground
Press your feet down, roll your shoulders back, take one slow breath.

Venus enters Pisces
The only way to lean into this Venus moving into Pieces is this snippet from a poem titled: Tonight I Can Write (The Saddest Lines )

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

Write, for example, 'The night is starry and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance.'

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

……

She loved me, sometimes I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is starry and she is not with me.

Pablo-Neruda

Venus moving into Pisces is love that is less about clarity and control, and more about empathy, creativity, and Heart-Level connection, that kind of connection we feel through the body and imagination. This is a time when connection thrives on presence, tenderness, and subtle attunement rather than words or outcomes. That word tenderness keeps finding it’s way to me…. I deeply deeply want tenderness, and at the same time, it’s not a feeling or action I can feel or give easily. This is a growth edge for me this week. How might I be so tender with myself and others while allowing the feeling of discomfort to also be present.

At its highest vibration, Venus in Pisces invites unconditional love, artistic inspiration, and spiritual intimacy; as your Astro Auntie, I am going to remind you to stay grounded so devotion doesn’t slip into self-sacrifice.
