A cosmic doorway has opened as Neptune enters Aries for the first time in 185 years, marking what might be the most transformative astrological shift of our lifetimes. This rare transit coincides with a powerful solar eclipse at zero degrees Aries and Venus completing an eight-year cycle—creating the perfect cosmic storm for profound personal and collective transformation.

The energetic landscape is dramatically changing, though we may not immediately perceive its full impact. Neptune's 14-year journey through Aries will fundamentally reshape our relationship with spirituality, reality, and each other. The last time this cosmic alignment occurred, America experienced a civil war, highlighting the profound collective shifts this transit can initiate. We're entering uncharted territory that will take months to integrate and years to fully unfold.

Currently, we're navigating the overlapping effects of both Mercury and Venus retrogrades, creating temporary chaos but providing essential time for reflection before the energetic surge forward in May. Venus retrograde (ending April 12th) invites us to reconsider our relationships with everything—romantic partners, money, our bodies, and our values. This period offers a unique opportunity to heal relationship wounds and realign with our true values before Venus stations direct. The key to thriving during this transition is finding alignment with your highest timeline through clarity, intention, and spiritual practice. When collective energies feel chaotic, return to basics: meditation, gratitude, nature connection, and community support provide essential grounding. Remember, "Everything is always working out for me" is more than a mantra—it's a frequency attunement that activates your reticular activating system to recognize opportunities aligned with your desires.

Join our growing community through in-person events in Central Florida, online Witch School, or Theta Healing classes. Whether you need group support or one-on-one coaching, we're here to help you navigate this cosmic shift and co-create the new earth reality we've all been waiting for. This is what our souls signed up for—the time when our divine purpose activates.

Speaker 2:

Welcome to Living Magically. I'm your host, magical Michelle, and it's another Magical Monday and it is the very last day of the first quarter of 2025. Unbelievable unbelievable, how fast time flies when you are, let's say, having fun. Anyway, it is one of the most wonderful things to know that March is complete and we are closing out this very interesting chapter of our lives, and it really has been a very long chapter. So, as we are closing out this timeframe, let me just tell you kind of what happened over the weekend to set you up for what's going to be happening in April.

Speaker 2:

So Neptune, one of our big outer planets, has been in one sign Pisces for 14 years. So we're going all the way back to what was happening in your life in 2011 and everything that's happened since. So this is covering the bigger collective, the bigger, broader view. In fact, this sign moves so slow that we haven't had it in Aries, moves so slow that we haven't had it in Aries in 185 years. So what does that mean and why is this so important? It's literally the most important transit of the entire year. Neptune in Aries zero degrees of Aries is the shift. It happened just last night and if you're watching this on Tuesday or Wednesday. It happened Sunday night. And so we feel this energy, this energy that is starting to move, starting to shift, starting to change, and it's going to take us a long time to really feel the change All of April into May before we'll really feel it settling down. It's going to take us six months to shift energies and that will be for the next eclipse season, which happens in September. So we're in high growth and we have this new energy.

Speaker 2:

We had the solar eclipse, also in zero degrees Aries. That was Saturday morning, so it's Saturday morning, sunday night, big things. And then Venus moved. Venus completed an eight-year cycle. So think about it. Where were you eight years ago and what has happened in the last eight years? And then we are ending the eclipse cycle of Aries, so that's been two and a half years. So we're talking about big collective changes but, more importantly, we're talking about big collective shifts going forward. We've also had a lot of seismic storms. We've had an X-class solar flare.

Speaker 2:

This is possibly the problems with sleeping that so many people have been telling me they had. I have literally been bombarded today, yesterday and through this weekend with what is going on. Well, I have been saying March was the most important transition astrologically we're going to possibly see in our lifetimes and certainly for a big span of years, and so right now we are shifting that energy. It started in 2024. Its big pivot point is right now and we're going to see this pivot kind of going into 2026. And then we'll sort of solid out for for a period of years 14 to be exact. But what's interesting about this Neptune going into Aries is the last time this happened 185 years ago we started a civil war in America and it's interesting, as I watch astrology, to see what is really happening, and so I will be interested in seeing what the next 14 years brings and how that's going to change us as a country and more personally.

Speaker 2:

What is it you're wanting to call in, first for this month, next for the first six months till the next eclipses, and then what are you doing for your big picture, the next eight-year Venus cycle and we are in Venus retrograde. So we're going to really see that firm up and I'll talk more about that as we go through April. That changes on April 12th, right there with the full moon. So that's going to be a big theme. So right now we're looking at our relationships, our relationships with money. We're reviewing our relationships with our body, we're reviewing our relationships, romantic, big romantic things on the horizon. If you have been looking for love, you might be able to find it after April 12th, maybe even right now, but I would say that the big energy is going to happen after April 12th. If you're already in a relationship or there's someone you're wanting to rekindle with, that is best done before April 12th. So getting that communication in your relationship is happening and that's any relationship romantic job, friendships, children, parents, grandparents, even your relationship with your pets. And a lot of people are seeing it with their bodies because of what's been happening with the big eclipses in Virgo.

Speaker 2:

And now that we're in the Virgo eclipse cycle, we're looking at our relationship with our food, our relationship with our body, our relationship with our health, our nutrition and I said this earlier our money. How are we spending it? What is our value? What do we value the most? So it is a very important time and we're set up for chaos right, the, the. The world is in a very chaotic, chaotic moment, especially these two retrogrades at the same time the, the first one finishing, we'll talk about that next week, with April 7th being the end of Mercury retrograde but still having two weeks of shadow period and then Venus having its end on the 12th. So a lot going on these two weeks.

Speaker 2:

So really good time to get clear, find clarity, find your footing, find balance, find motivation and, whatever you do, start thinking about where you want to go. I was talking with a beloved friend and client and sister of mine this afternoon and this is where it's really important to have a goal, something that's a little farther out. It's really important to have a goal, something that's a little farther out, so you know where you're going, and backtrack and getting onto alignment, because we have a lot of opportunities coming in. There's going to be a lot of time for co-creation and we want to co-create, whether that's romantically, whether that's business, whether that's well, anything. Any kind of relationship is on the table right now and that's wonderful.

Speaker 2:

But if we don't know where we're going, we might say yes to an opportunity that drives us off track. So if you are like I, want to go across country, you're going to put in the end. You're going to say where you're going and where you start. So right now there's still that piece of review until April 12th where you're, reviewing where you are and clarifying where you're going. So, letting go of overwhelm, letting go of fear, letting go of chaos and really decide. This is what I want, this is where I'm going, and maybe you're going to have some side trips, that's fine. But the alignment is then to know what you're doing and work backwards. Well, to get there, who do I have to be? Who is that version of me I'm working toward and what has to happen and where am I going to make progress. And then the alignment wording especially with this new moon energy, this fresh Neptune and Aries energy, this beginning of the zodiac, we're at the astrological new year and I really think we're going to feel more like we're, we're moving forward in May. So I I still think that this is a more of a of an alignment getting aligned, getting clear and starting little action steps month. We'll feel more in our, in our joy in May.

Speaker 2:

There's a lot going on this month, both astrologically and emotionally and in the collective consciousness. So, rather than take on the pain of what is going on in the world, the healer's tool is to align with the vision of your choice and then send information out, send healings out, align to the highest timeline. Send energetic sends to the collective consciousness. Try and stay off of worry, fear and concern and, as empaths, do not take on someone else's lesson. Do not take on someone else's pain. We come from a strong place, of of having our cup refilled first. We have to be strong if we're going to help anybody else, so stay. And if that means taking 14 baths with Epsom salt and listening to healing meditations and healing music and frequency music all day long and doing clearing meditations five times a day, then that's what you have to do. It's extreme self-care time and it's extreme spiritual cleansing time and it's time for you to be in that review process so you know where you're going. And if you can only do one thing, make one tiny little step. What is the first thing I can do? How do I get back to the alignment? How do I find my way? Right now, that is where we're at Recalibrate, review, renew, realign. All those re's are always so important in retrograde, are always so important in retrograde. So, as we go through this, this timeframe, this is what I can do with you.

Speaker 2:

If you live local to Orlando, I've deepened, doubled down and deepened having community circles, because, no matter where you live. I think it's really important that you are being one in community and creating synergy and creating coherence. So if you would live in Orlando, florida, we have next month's oil temple called Beltane Bliss, right after the new moon and right before Beltane At the end of April we have a compassion circle that we're doing monthly now at the Urban Ashram. So we'll continue to do sound healing Egyptian oil temples. In Altamont Springs, at the Center Street Retreat Center, we will now be doing compassion circles. The last one was so potent, so powerful, and we've committed to doing one in April and one in May and throughout the summer we'll do one of these offerings every single month, one in each place.

Speaker 2:

If you're online and you want to work with me, you could reach out to me and we can introduce you to Witch School. Reach out to me and we can introduce you to Witch School, which does have a monthly temple as well as other things that are being offered. If you are ready to take it up a notch Theta Healing If you're already in the Theta Healing world, I've got some advanced classes coming this month. If you're not, if this is the beginning tool for you theta healing please reach out to me and we'll get you into the spiritual life coaching program, into the first class coming up. And if you're already in our world, we have some big, beautiful classes the soul mates class, because, yes, we're talking about relationships. We're talking about relationships, we're talking about your relationship with your significant others. We have a class for that, and this week we have rhythm to the perfect weight, your relationship with your body, and so lots of opportunity as well as, and last but not least, I am just in April and May.

Speaker 2:

You know that I'm a busy woman, but right now I've made my calendar open to start taking on some VIP days and some one-off coaching, which can be anything from a one hour to a full day with me. So if that is something you need, you need some one-on-one time with Michelle, both in person or outside. We can do it on Zoom or FaceTime or by phone. Even Reach out to me. That is something we have to negotiate and create on a schedule and decide what works for you and me, and we'll do a little connection call, a discovery call to decide what's going to be the right fit. So reach out to me for that personally.

Speaker 2:

Otherwise, whatever you do, create community, create time to meditate this is going to be your biggest, best tool, and I don't mean sit mindlessly and think of nothing. I mean and think of nothing. I mean find a good guided meditation that takes you through a release or a connection. We have some on YouTube and we have some on Insight Timer, and it doesn't have to be me. Create your own. Listen to some of my favorite. Or Steve Noble, I love the Wayne Dyer. I Am music that's on YouTube.

Speaker 2:

I start my day out every day with a beautiful chorus song called I Am Enough. It's a seven minute song and I listen to that every day. So there's so many things you can do, but right now it is the beginning and it is, for a lot of you, a return to the basics and the tools that you already have. When the world gets crazy, when the world gets chaotic, when our lives get crazy, when our lives get chaotic, go back to the basics. Go back to the chakras, go back to your Reiki, your theta healing, whatever modality. Get a massage, take a bath, go to the beach and, more importantly, whatever you do, get out in nature. We just went to the springs and and emerged our entire body in a cleansing process at the springs. It's Aries season, so you can use fire, burn away, cleanse and remove anything that's not working.

Speaker 2:

Use candle magic. I just did candle making. Make a candle, light a candle. You can buy them pre-made I love Coventry candles. You can buy them pre-made on all kinds of ways and go to Avalon and they'll dress them for you. You can buy some off the internet, but you can also make them yourself. Whatever you do, light a candle, set an intention, get clear.

Speaker 2:

My other sort of favorite thing to do right now to like realign me is to go back to gratitude practices Write your gratitude list, share it with a couple of people. You can say it, you can speak it, you can send it in a text, you can write it in your journal. But return to gratitude because when you recognize what you have, it's easier to see how far you've come and therefore how far you're going to go. This is a big, huge beginning happening. I realize that you're not going to maybe see all of the opportunity right away. It's going to sign this big changes and transits. It does take sometimes a month or two months or three months and sometimes six months, an entire eclipse cycle, which is every six months, to really see the results of what you're planting now. So we're planting the seeds, we're watering, we're earthing, we're grounding, we're lighting a fire under the new you to create new earth, new earth.

Speaker 2:

Last but not least, focus on what you want, instead of worrying or fearing what you cannot control or what you don't want. Really go back to this is what I want. Write it, journal it, create it into a wording. That's why we call it spells spelling. Write it, journal it into a wording. That's why we call it spells spelling.

Speaker 2:

Write it, journal it, visualize it, imagine it. Imagine it in the theta brainwave. Pretend it's already happened, because your brain, your big beautiful brain, cannot tell the difference between seeing it in your mind's eye and it already happening to you. And so your reticular activating system will start looking for it, will start making it happen. It brings it to the frontal lobe and starts having. You see opportunities.

Speaker 2:

Instead of at a low frequency, you're going to get exactly what you expect. Maybe not the same exact thing you're worried about, but something more to worry about, something more to be afraid of, something more to be stressed about. If you're in the energy, you will get something to align with that frequency. So raise your frequency. The Schumann resonance is off the charts.

Speaker 2:

This is what I'm going to invite you to do is raise your own heartbeat. The earth's heartbeat is moving really high vibration. Choose to make your vibration. That means maybe you clean up and create a new altar, a fresh altar. There is a lot of spring cleaning energy going on. So cleanse, remove, let go of anything, anything in April that no longer serves you, and start one tiny little step, one visualization, one meditation, one gratitude practice, one action step toward new earth, new you and the life that you're creating with this new energy. There is a freshness to it, but you may not be able to see that if you're stuck in the lower fear, vibration, the chaos. So find your center, find your coherence, create a field and bubble of love.

Speaker 2:

I am Glenda in my big, beautiful ball of light, and I run around in that coherent field sharing my expectation that everything's always going to work out and this is my favorite sentence for you. Everything's always working out for me. Everything is always working out for me. Everything is always working out for me. Everything is always working out for me. Everything is always working out for me, especially when it feels like it's not. And change your brain, change your frequency. The other wording I love is road open, path clear, everything's going my way and I am enough and worthy and deserving of all that I have and all that I am calling in. I am so grateful and thankful for what I already have and everything I'm about to receive. So these are wordings you can work with as you're creating a different frequency.

Speaker 2:

And if you want to create a little synergy to spread the love, instead of saying are you okay, you can reach out and say I'm thinking about you and sending you big, fat ball of love and light. I am sending you my wish for your joy or however you want to word that. But instead of asking if they're okay, send them a hope, a prayer or some love energy and they can tap into that expectation and lift them up. So we're going to lift each other up through this, this change, big changes in April, big changes, and be on the path of your desire and your dream. Everything's going to be working out for you. So that's what this new Neptune face is doing. So this week you have all week. You're still in Mercury retrograde, you're still in Venus retrograde. So this week, review, realign and set your intentions, set your belief into this is mine. It is possible. I'm sending you love and joy to back my beautiful one. I love you. I love seeing those kind of messages come through and so, and if you need help, even if it's not me, don't try and do this alone.

Speaker 2:

The next 14 years, 15 years, the next version of our lives is about co-creating, is about coherence, is about harmony, is about community. So, again, I'm really committed to creating community here in Central Florida, in-person events. So we have two temples set up at Center Street, one in April, one in May. We have two compassion circles set up and if you've ever been to Soul Circle when I was doing those at Cole, it's the compassion circles, very similar to the old Soul Circle. So we're here on Soul Circle, so I just kind of set that up and if we, if we keep doing this, maybe Soul Circle will be coming back in the fall.

Speaker 2:

So so let me know if that's something you're interested in, if you want to see Soul Circle live again, we might come back to doing that once a month. So let me know what you're thinking, let me know how you are and if I can help you. I'm here to hold the new earth as a love leader. Remember, so are you. This is the time we've been waiting for. This is what we signed up for. This is when our soul's divine purpose is being activated. We're here to be the reality that we are here to create. So I love you, I send you all my love, all my blessings, and I will see you again next week. Live magically.
