Energy This Week

In March, a powerful energetic portal opened, and its effects are further amplified in April. The sun is more active (solar storms and flares), which causes greater geomagnetic fluctuations. This can make the energy intense and sometimes unstable, both physically and mentally. Listen carefully to your body, slow down when needed, and get plenty of rest. Grounding helps you release tension and recharge.

The full moon in Libra (April 2) and Venus’s entry into Taurus (March 30) brought a sense of calm. In addition, all planets are moving direct until May 6, making this a powerful time for taking action, launching new projects, and bringing things to completion. The new moon in Aries (April 17) will amplify this even further and bring a fertile energy for taking new steps.

Another significant event last week, which is part of the broader cycle involving Saturn, Pluto, and Neptune, was the conjunction between Saturn and Pluto. This alignment traces back to the significant Saturn-Pluto conjunction on January 12, 2020, in Capricorn. That marked the beginning of a period of profound upheaval—a time of deep transformation, structural changes, and karmic lessons.

The energy of Pluto touches the soul, both individually and collectively, and intensifies whatever it touches. Saturn is about rules, responsibility, top-down governance, and karmic lessons.

In the coming years, we may face the same challenges we did in 2020. The question is: how do you deal with that now, in 2026? What changes have you gone through in recent years? And how do you stay true to yourself—to your own energy, passion, and determination?

This week, Mars moves into Aries, adding extra intensity to this energy. Neptune and Saturn will help you this week to stand up for who you are and for your dreams and ideals. Not just talking, thinking, and dreaming—but taking action.

This week's lunar phase: waning moon.

April 9: Mars in Aries

When Mars is in Aries, a powerful surge of life energy is released. Mars is in its element in Aries. Mars’ fiery decisiveness is amplified by Aries’ pioneering, direct nature. Initiative returns; ideas no longer want to wait but demand to be put into action. It is a time of movement, of daring to make choices, of “taking action” instead of continuing to hesitate.

This energy invites you to reconnect with your inner fire. What do you truly want? What makes your heart race? Mars in Aries helps you turn clarity into action. Small steps can suddenly become great leaps. It’s a wonderful time to start something new, to push boundaries, and to reinvent yourself. Trust your instincts, your primal feelings. Often, you know the answer faster than you think.

At the same time, this fiery force calls for mindfulness. Because where there is a lot of energy, there is also the risk of going too far. You may be tempted to move too quickly, to become impatient, or to make impulsive decisions. This energy can also tempt you to overstep your own boundaries—or those of others. The urge to move forward can be so strong that you forget to consider whether something is truly in line with your long-term goals.

The key is to channel this energy rather than let it overwhelm you. Ask yourself every now and then: "Does this action stem from strength or from restlessness?" By taking brief moments to reflect, you stay connected to your purpose. Staying active and staying grounded can help. Think of sports, walking, or dancing—activities that allow energy to flow freely without building up.

Mars in Aries teaches you leadership, but from within. Not by forcing things, but by staying true to your own path. Dare to say yes to what calls to you, but also no to what doesn’t feel right. In this way, this period becomes not only a time for action, but also for conscious growth.

Let the fire inspire and enlighten you, rather than burn you out.

April 11–12: Neptune conjunct Saturn

And as if the fiery energy of Mars in Aries weren’t powerful enough, a special deepening soon follows with the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune. While Mars sets you in motion, this alignment brings direction, grounding, and meaning.

This energy whispers (and sometimes gently nudges): make it a reality. Neptune carries your dreams, your intuition, your longing for something greater than yourself. Saturn then asks you: are you willing to take responsibility for this? Not tomorrow, not someday, but now. This is no longer just about feeling or visualizing, but about commitment. About shaping, step by step, that which you have known so deeply within yourself for so long.

This is a rare opportunity to turn inspiration into something lasting. While Neptune typically tends to blur or soften things, Saturn helps set boundaries and provide structure. Your dreams don’t have to remain mere pipe dreams. They can take root in reality. It is precisely this combination that makes it so powerful: softness and solidity, vision and discipline.

How can you make this work? By taking your ideals seriously. Don’t just write them down—take concrete action based on them. Create a plan that leaves room for intuition while also being guided by rhythm and consistency. Small, daily steps become magical here. Precisely because they are fueled by something greater. Trust that commitment yields more in the long run than fleeting moments of success.

At the same time, obstacles may also come to light. Doubts may arise: Is my dream even realistic? Or, conversely, you might get lost in idealism without truly grounding yourself in reality. You may sometimes feel weighed down, as if the responsibility is overwhelming, or become uncertain about the form it needs to take. Procrastination can also rear its head when the bar is set too high.

The invitation is to remain both gentle and faithful. You don’t have to do it perfectly, just sincerely. Let Saturn not paralyze you, but carry you. And let Neptune not let you drift away, but inspire you. Together, they help you translate your inner world into something tangible.

Combined with the fiery energy of Mars, a powerful force emerges: not just beginning, but also persevering. Not just dreaming, but bringing it to life. This is building with soul. And that has the power to endure.

"Can you feel your fire burning? What does your fire truly want to achieve? And what within you longs not only to be imagined, but also to be built solidly and to last?"

April 9: Mars in Aries

When Mars is in Aries, a powerful surge of life energy is released. Mars is in its element in Aries. Mars’ fiery drive is amplified by Aries’ pioneering, direct nature. Initiative returns; ideas can no longer wait but must be put into action. It is a time of movement, of daring to make choices, of “going for it” rather than continuing to hesitate.

This energy invites you to reconnect with your inner fire. What do you truly want? What makes your heart race? Mars in Aries helps you turn clarity into action. Small steps can suddenly become giant leaps. It’s a wonderful time to start something new, push boundaries, and reinvent yourself. Trust your instincts, your gut feeling. Often, you know the answer faster than you think.

At the same time, this intense energy calls for mindfulness. Because where there is a lot of energy, there is also a risk of going too far. You may be tempted to move too quickly, become impatient, or make impulsive decisions. This energy can also tempt you to overstep your own boundaries—or those of others. The urge to move forward can be so strong that you forget to consider whether something is truly right in the long run.

The key is to channel this energy rather than letting it sweep you away. Ask yourself every now and then: “Is this action coming from a place of strength or from a place of restlessness?” By taking brief moments to reflect, you stay connected to your purpose. Movement and grounding can help. Consider exercising, going for a walk, or dancing, so that the energy can flow freely without building up. 

Mars in Aries teaches you leadership, but from within. Not by forcing things, but by staying true to your own path. Dare to say yes to what calls to you, but also no to what doesn’t feel right. In this way, this period becomes not only a time for action, but also for conscious growth.

April 11–12: Neptune conjunct Saturn

And as if the fiery energy of Mars in Aries weren’t powerful enough, a profound shift occurs shortly thereafter with the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune. While Mars sets you in motion, this conjunction provides direction, grounding, and meaning.

This energy whispers (and sometimes gently nudges): make it real. Neptune carries your dreams, your intuition, your longing for something greater than yourself. Saturn then asks you: are you willing to take responsibility for this? Not tomorrow, not someday, but now. This is no longer just about feeling or visualizing, but about dedication. About shaping, step by step, what you have known deep down for so long.

This is a rare opportunity to build something lasting based on inspiration. While Neptune tends to blur or soften things, Saturn helps set boundaries and provide structure. Your dreams don’t have to remain pipe dreams. They can take root in reality. It is precisely this combination that makes it so powerful: gentleness and strength, vision and discipline.

How can you put this into practice? By taking your ideals seriously. Don’t just write them down—link them to concrete actions. Create a plan that leaves room for intuition while also being guided by rhythm and consistency. Small, daily steps become magical here—precisely because they’re fueled by something greater. Trust that long-term dedication yields more than quick bursts of energy.

At the same time, obstacles may also become apparent. Doubts can arise: Is my dream even realistic? Or, conversely, you might get lost in idealism without really grounding yourself. You may sometimes feel weighed down, as if the responsibility is too great, or become uncertain about the form it should take. Procrastination can also set in when the bar is set too high.

The invitation is to remain gentle and true to yourself. You don’t have to do it perfectly—just be genuine. Don’t let Saturn paralyze you; let it carry you. And don’t let Neptune sweep you away; let it inspire you. Together, they’ll help you translate your inner world into something tangible.

Combined with Mars’s fiery drive, this creates a powerful momentum: not just starting, but also persevering. Not just dreaming, but making it a reality. This is building with heart and soul. And that has the power to last a long time. 

“Can you feel your fire burning? What does your fire truly strive for? And what part of you longs not only to dream, but also to be built solidly and sustainably?”
