Energy Update April 2024 – Welcome to this space of the magazine. The one you connect with each month. The moon, the sun. Your spiritual being.
This is an invitation for you to set intentions and reflect throughout the month of April at key moments that punctuate the solar and lunar cycles – a form of soul nourishment.
Have courage, dear heart… This is a month for the Sun and the Moon. Grab a cup of tea (or coffee), your journal and an open mind.
Let us get started.
SUN in Aries and Taurus March 22 – April 20:
Aries: the energy of courage. To embrace your true self. To be free. It is about the principle of activity.
Aries is about this force and this drive. The Warrior or Warrioress. To embrace change and take risks. It is the first sign of the zodiac. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of leadership.
Aries always push forward to new territories and lead.
The shadows of Aries are impatience, being very impatient and impulsive. Not going through with the ideas.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What will I put all my fiery energy into this month?
- What current change do I need to embrace?
April 21 – May 20:
Taurus: the sign of being abundant. Productivity and creation by hand and body. Being resourceful and persistent. Very slow and steady.
Taurus is ruled by Venus and Venus is sensual, all about love, beauty and money. Taurus is the most sensual sign.
The shadow of Taurus is being stubborn and scattered. Taurus is often looking for external validation.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What makes me feel abundant right now?
- What abundance do I already have? Create a list.

Last Quarter Moon: Re-evaluate. Last Quarter Moon at 17° in Capricorn (Monday 1.04 at 11.05 PM CDT and Tuesday 2.04 at 5.05 AM BST and 3.05 PM AEST).
The time to surrender.
Pisces Intention + Capricorn Moon = Water + Earth element connection.
Capricorn is a yin sign, it is cardinal and aligns with the element of Earth. Capricorn is the sea goat and all about the aspect of blending our spiritual self (we are spiritual creators) and having an earthly experience.

In the darkness. Connect with the seeds to be planted.
Aries Intention + Aries Moon = Fire + Fire element connection.
Aries is a yang sign, filled with fire and is cardinal.
We act with courage under the New Moon in Aries. We also act with force. Force is positive, it doesn’t have to be negative.
So is conscious activism, this is very positive. The Warrior, also positive if we evaluate the risk, consciously.
Aries is about caring and daring greatly. With this brings self-awareness, confidence and looking after each other. Take a journal and a pen.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What is igniting under this New Moon in Aries?

First Quarter Moon: Commitment. FQ Moon at 22° in Cancer (Tuesday 15.04 at 2.13 AM, 8.13 AM BST and 5.13 PM AEST).
This is the time to take action. The time to grow. In the first Quarter Moon, you take inspired action towards the plans you have created.
Aries Intention + Cancer Moon = Water + Air element connection.
Cancer is all about yin, it is cardinal and is a water sign. Yin is all about divine feminine and water is about embracing our emotions. The sign of cancer represents nourishment, feeling safe, it is a nurturer.
I encourage you to double down on the Cancer need for emotional nourishment. Giving and feeling the emotional support.
Cancer is all about the softness and feminine parts of the body, so look after those parts. This is a time for nourishment. What self care rituals can you embrace at this time? Take a journal and a pen.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- How can I mother myself more at this time?
- What activity nourishes me the most?

Expression of the need to embody passion. Under the Full Moon, all is illuminated. The seeds and intentions planted in the February New Moon are revealed.
Aries Intention + Scorpio Moon = Fire + Water element connection.
Scorpio is a ying sign, it is fixed and aligns with the element of water. Scorpio is about the principle of death and rebirth.
The intention of facing our fears and knowing and stepping into our own power. The scorpion has this ability to really cause death.
Death to us means clarifying our values and being deeply aligned to our vision. It is time to work on bringing your vision to life. Take a journal and a pen.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What is illuminated in this Full Moon with my New Moon intention?
- What do I need to let go of in order to birth something new?
