Jeff Wall’s Picture for Women (1979) invites us to pause and reflect, much like this week’s message of card #67, Self-Observance. Through its interplay of mirrors, gazes, and layered perspectives, the artwork asks us to examine not just how we view others but how we perceive ourselves. The woman’s direct yet ambiguous gaze speaks to the power of self-awareness, reminding us to look inward with the same honesty and curiosity.

This week’s energy calls for introspection and balancing our inner and outer worlds. Just as the mirror in Wall’s work blurs the line between observer and observed, we are encouraged to explore how our inner realities shape our external actions. By practicing self-observance, we open ourselves to deeper understanding, alignment, and growth. Take this moment to step back, see yourself clearly, and honor the layers of your own story.

March is coming to a close, and the new week kicks off with a surge of energy. Retrograde Venus and Mercury, both in Pisces, encourage us to revisit our relationships and communication styles. This process is much-needed, helping us digest the accelerated evolution we’ve been experiencing since 2020 and, more intensely, since 2024, as I have discussed before.

Additionally, the sextiles of Mars and Saturn with Uranus pave the way for actions rooted in emotional responsibility and spiritual discipline. The Uranian changes we so desperately need bring a refreshing shift in how we perceive safety and relate to the material world. The age of “Me” is fading, and we are stepping into the era of “We,” because the planet we live on is one, the air we breathe is one, and although we are unique, we must learn collaboration.

Evolution is speeding up, yet we are still taking our first steps, stuck in the old paradigm of survival controlled by an unintegrated ego system. However, by the end of this week, relief arrives. It fosters dialogue, and understanding, and brings the energy needed to nurture our relationships and loved ones. Perhaps the turbulence caused by Venus’s retrograde so far will find calm through honest conversations, understanding different perspectives, and courage. Because courage is indeed the key to this new reality that is forming before our eyes and with our participation.

We step into April with the message of card #67 Self-Observance. It serves as a reminder that after challenges, we can heal ourselves through conscious and objective observation of our patterns and beliefs. No judgment, no pressure for immediate change. Self-observation is the foundation of all spiritual growth, and the time to start this practice is now.

This week, I wish you the clarity to look at yourself without criticism, but with acceptance.

Tuesday’s skies herald a climactic moment in the journeys within our souls, as retrograde Venus weaves together with the North Node in the subtle and mystical sign of Pisces. This rare planetary alignment opens doors to profound emotions, karmic ties, and spiritual awakening.

Venus, currently moving retrograde in Pisces, reminds us of past dreams, hidden longings, and unresolved chapters. There may be a pull to immerse ourselves in the past to understand what still holds us back from love and emotional fulfillment. The North Node, a symbol of destiny, guides us toward the future, but in Pisces, it acts gently, leading through intuition and dreams.

This is a time to truly listen to your heart. A sudden insight may emerge, connecting you to your higher purpose. Trust in your sensitivity. On this day, the past and the future draw together, creating a harmonious yet enigmatic melody. Allow it to lead you forward.

Friday: Conjunction of Retrograde Mercury and the North Node in Pisces

Today, our thoughts and words take on a different dimension, as retrograde Mercury meets the North Node in the ethereal realm of Pisces. This is a time when logic gives way to intuition, and communication tools become subtle feelings, visions, and dreams.

Under the influence of retrograde Mercury, we are drawn into retrospection. Our thought processes will meander like winding rivers, leading us to unresolved memories and spiritual revelations. The North Node adds karmic depth to this process, encouraging us to reflect on where we are heading and what we truly desire in life.

Communication becomes more non-verbal, empathic, and layered with hidden meanings. Moments of profound understanding may arise between the lines as if we are speaking a shared, universal language. This is an opportunity to listen to the silence and find answers in places we usually overlook.

When these two planets form a sextile, the day’s energy will feel both grounded and inspiring, as if we can effortlessly weave bridges between dreams and reality.

Saturn in Pisces invites us to structure our spirituality, establish emotional boundaries, and find strength in accepting the intangible. Uranus in Taurus brings a fresh perspective to values, resources, and everyday rituals, encouraging us to welcome change where we’ve resisted novelty. Together, they create a harmony that helps translate inspiration into action.

On a personal level, there will be a need to redefine what brings us a sense of security. It’s a time to release old fears and allow ourselves to find freedom within the boundaries we are building. Like a fresh breeze on a calm day, the energy of this sextile leads to transformational insights that can shape our path for years to come.

Friday/Saturday: Sextile of Mars in Cancer and Uranus in Taurus

April 5, 2025, 1:04 AM Warsaw / April 4, 2025, 6:04 PM Santa Fe

When Mars in tender Cancer enters a sextile with Uranus in earthy Taurus, the cosmos reflects an energy that aligns our emotional needs with bold actions. It’s a blend of intuition and pragmatism, urging us to take steps that may feel surprising yet are rooted in a solid foundation.

Mars in Cancer motivates us to fight for what’s close to the heart. Uranus in Taurus adds an element of unpredictability, sparking creative changes in areas that may have seemed stagnant before. This is the perfect moment to innovate within your home, nurture family connections, build relationships based on authenticity, and work towards a sense of security aligned with your true values.

In relationships, this aspect encourages breaking free from old patterns. If you’ve often avoided expressing your feelings, now you might feel driven to speak from the heart while fostering a sense of stability with someone close. It could be a day where an unexpected act of warmth or bravery forges even deeper bonds.

On a personal level, Mars and Uranus call us to merge emotions with practicality. Feeling overwhelmed by household tasks or long-term plans? You might suddenly uncover a solution that’s both freeing and empowering. Imagine the feeling of finding your perfect place in the world—that’s where this energy can guide you.

Now is the time for action flowing directly from the heart, supported by reliable foundations. Allow intuition to lead you toward surprisingly lasting and positive change.

Friday/Saturday: Trine of Mars in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces

This trine brings a wave of stabilizing yet gentle energy. It’s like being wrapped in a safe cocoon that encourages actions aligned with your feelings and intuition. This harmonious alignment enhances emotional calm and helps turn dreams into practical plans.

Mars in Cancer motivates us to care for loved ones, focus on home, and build emotional security.

Together, they create room for making responsible decisions based on intuition and life experience.

Relationships may become more harmonious and grounded in mutual support. Actions will reflect a balance between emotions and pragmatism. This is a time to establish solid yet warm foundations in both your personal and spiritual life.

Sunday: Sextile of the Sun in Aries and Jupiter in Gemini

April 6, 2025, 11:44 AM Warsaw / April 4, 2025, 3:44 AM Santa Fe

The Sun sextile Jupiter fills us with dynamic self-confidence and intellectual finesse. This aspect blends the bold, action-driven spirit of Aries with the sharp, communicative nature of Gemini, paving the way for expansive possibilities in personal growth and external ventures. It’s a perfect time for taking risks, initiating creative projects, and forming meaningful connections with others. Leadership qualities shine, and communication flows easily, offering inspiration and persuasiveness.

However, Aries’ fiery energy combined with Jupiter’s expansiveness may also lead to overconfidence or scattered focus. To make the most of this energy, prioritize your goals and balance enthusiasm with practicality. Collaborate on innovative ideas or deepen your knowledge to satisfy Gemini’s curiosity. Break tasks into smaller steps, drawing on Aries’ drive to sustain determination. By channeling this vital force wisely, you can achieve remarkable breakthroughs, strengthen relationships, and initiate exciting progress in all areas of life.

By welcoming this nurturing energy, you can experience profound transformation in your inner world and relationships, building a foundation of love and authenticity.
