Energy This Week

The full moon energy still lingers in the air. This week, the moon is waning. We are entering a phase of reflection again, moving toward the new moon. After all the intensity of recent weeks, this full moon in Libra didn't quite feel like a typical full moon. Libra is a gentle sign that values softness and prefers to stay in the middle.

Libra is an air sign, with a tendency to overthink and to please others. On the outside, there may be a smile, but on the inside, they can be overanalyzing everything. You may have recognized this over the past few days or in the first days of this week: more racing thoughts, headaches, holding back words you actually wanted to say, and feeling quickly overwhelmed by others' emotions.

This energy reveals where you are out of balance and disconnected from your own core. You don't owe anyone an apology for what you do or don't do. You don't need to pretend to feel better than you do or please others at the expense of your own boundaries. Listen to your body and dare to choose yourself.

As the Earth's frequency continues to rise - the energy is moving faster and faster - you will start to feel energetic blockages and imbalances more strongly. Rest, balance (between effort and relaxation), and grounding should be at the top of your self-care list.

On April 13, there was not only a full moon, but Venus also went direct again in Pisces. This is a lovely combination, as Venus and Libra are closely connected. Venus is the ruling planet of Libra. Pisces energy adds a soft, intuitive quality. This is a perfect time to work on yourself lovingly and to integrate the insights from the retrograde period. The understanding and compassion you often have for others - now it's time to give that to yourself. Enjoy your own dose of self-love.

April 18: Mars in Leo

What you might also feel this week - and may have noticed already - is a surge in fiery energy. You or others may react more intensely or passionately. On Friday, April 18, Mars enters the sign of Leo, a powerful combination. Mars first moved into Leo in November last year, just before going retrograde in December 2024. What themes were coming up for you then? They may return now for completion or a fresh start.

Mars has been direct since late February, but its force may have felt suppressed due to Venus and Mercury being retrograde. This could have felt like hitting the gas with the brakes on. Besides lacking speed, you may have missed a sense of direction or decisiveness. Now that Venus and Mercury are direct again, you might feel forward movement and finally gain clarity about your path.

This is also the last week with the sun in Aries - Taurus season begins on April 21. Aries, a fire sign, still wants to show its horns and determination this week.

In short, the energy is "on fire. This is a great week to get things done, take back control, regain momentum, and feel powerful and radiant. Just be mindful not to slam the gas pedal too hard, move too quickly, cross your own boundaries (or someone else's), or react too explosively. All in moderation.

How is your inner fire doing? Is it burning bright? What or who are you burning for? And what is your most important source of fuel?

Energy diese Woche

Die Energie des Vollmondes liegt noch in der Luft. Diese Woche nimmt der Mond ab. Wir treten in eine Phase der Reflexion ein, auf dem Weg zum Neumond. Nach all der Intensität der letzten Wochen fühlte sich der Vollmond in der Waage diesmal nicht wie ein typischer Vollmond an. Die Waage ist generell ein sanftes Zeichen, das Harmonie liebt und gerne die Mitte hält.

Die Waage ist ein Luftzeichen, das dazu neigt, viel zu grübeln und es anderen recht machen zu wollen. Nach außen hin zeigt sich oft ein Lächeln, aber innerlich kreisen die Gedanken. Vielleicht hast du das in den letzten Tagen oder zu Beginn dieser Woche gespürt: mehr Grübeleien, Kopfschmerzen, Worte runterschlucken, die du eigentlich aussprechen wolltest, oder dich schnell von den Emotionen anderer überwältigt fühlen.

Diese Energie zeigt dir, wo du aus dem Gleichgewicht geraten bist und dich von deinem inneren Kern entfernt hast. Du musst dich bei niemandem entschuldigen - weder dafür, was du tust noch dafür, was du nicht tust. Du musst dich nicht besser darstellen, als du dich fühlst, oder dich selbst verleugnen, um es anderen recht zu machen. Höre auf deinen Körper und habe den Mut, für dich selbst einzustehen.

Da sich die Frequenz der Erde erhöht - die Energie bewegt sich immer schneller - spüren wir energetische Blockaden und Störungen intensiver. Ruhe, Balance (zwischen Anspannung und Entspannung) und Erdung sollten ganz oben auf deiner Selbstfürsorge-Liste stehen.

Am 13. April war nicht nur Vollmond, auch Venus ist wieder direktläufig geworden - im Zeichen Fische. Eine wunderbare Kombination, denn Venus ist die Herrscherin der Waage. Die Fische-Energie bringt eine zusätzliche Weichheit und Intuition. Diese Phase eignet sich besonders gut, um liebevoll an dir selbst zu arbeiten und die Erkenntnisse aus der rückläufigen Phase zu integrieren. Das Mitgefühl und Verständnis, das du oft für andere hast, darfst du jetzt dir selbst schenken. Genieße deine ganz persönliche Portion Selbstliebe.

18. April: March in Löwe

Was du in dieser Woche ebenfalls spüren könntest - vielleicht schon seit ein paar Tagen - ist, dass die Energie feuriger wird. Du oder andere könnten impulsiver oder leidenschaftlicher reagieren. Am Freitag, den 18. April, wechselt Mars in das Zeichen Löwe - eine kraftvolle Konstellation. Mars war bereits im November letzten Jahres im Löwen, kurz bevor er im Dezember 2024 rückläufig wurde. Welche Themen waren damals bei dir aktuell? Sie könnten jetzt wieder auftauchen - zur Vollendung oder für einen Neustart.

Mars ist zwar seit Ende Februar wieder direktläufig, aber seine Energie war durch die rückläufige Venus und Merkur gedämpft. Es konnte sich anfühlen wie Gas geben mit angezogener Handbremse. Nicht nur Geschwindigkeit, sondern auch Durchsetzungskraft und klare Richtung könnten gefehlt haben. Jetzt, wo Venus und Merkur wieder direkt laufen, spürst du womöglich neuen Schwung und weißt endlich, wohin du willst.

Außerdem ist dies die letzte Woche, in der die Sonne im Widder steht - am 21. April beginnt die Stier-Saison. Der Widder, ebenfalls ein Feuerzeichen, möchte in dieser Woche noch einmal seine Hörner zeigen und mit voller Kraft vorwärtsgehen.

Kurz gesagt: Die Energie ist "on fire". Eine großartige Woche, um Dinge zu erledigen, dich neu auszurichten, Verantwortung zu übernehmen und dich kraftvoll und strahlend zu fühlen. Achte jedoch darauf, dass du nicht zu schnell vorpreschst, deine eigenen oder fremde Grenzen überschreitest oder zu heftig reagierst. Alles in Maßen.

Wie steht es um dein inneres Feuer? Brennt es? Für was oder wen brennt es? Und was ist dein wichtigster Brennstoff?

Energy this week

The full moon energy is still in the air. This week it is waning moon. We are entering another period of reflection, heading toward the new moon. After all the intensity of the past few weeks, the full moon in Libra didn't feel like a full moon this time. Libra is a mild sign anyway that loves gentleness and likes to stay in the middle.

A Libra is an air sign, which tends to fret and please. On the outside you see a smile, but inside they can break their head over all kinds of things. You may recognize this from the past few days and the first few days of this week: more brooding thoughts, headaches, swallowing words you really want to say and feeling too much about another person before too long.

This energy lets you feel where you are out of balance and connection with your own core. You don't have to apologize to anyone (why you do or don't do something), pretend to be better than how you feel, or please the other person at the expense of your boundaries. Listen to your body and dare to choose for yourself.

As the frequency on earth becomes higher - the energy moves faster and faster - you start to feel blockages and disruptions in your energy more strongly. Rest, balance (between effort and relaxation) and grounding may be at the top of your self-care list.

April 13 not only was there a full moon, Venus also went directly back into Pisces. This is a fine combination because Venus and Libra are connected. Venus is the ruling planet of Libra. The Pisces energy provides an extra gentle and intuitive energy. This period is suitable for working lovingly on yourself, working on your insights from the retrograde period. The understanding and compassion you often have for another may now be given to yourself. Enjoy this own dose of self-love.

April 18: Mars in Leo

What you may also notice this week - has been felt for a few days - is that the energy becomes more fiery. You or the other person may react more ardently, more fiercely to things. Mars enters the sign of Leo on Friday, April 18, which is a powerful combination. Mars was in Leo for the first time last November, just before going retrograde in December 2024. What themes were at play for you then? Those may come back to you now for completion or a reboot?

Mars has been running directly since late February, but its power was tempered by Venus and Mercury running retrograde. This could feel like acceleration with the brakes on. Besides speed, you could lack decisiveness and direction. Now that Venus and Mercury are running direct again, you may find yourself moving forward again and finally feeling which way you may go. In addition, this week is the last week when the Sun is in Aries, April 21 begins the Taurus season. Aries is also a fire sign, wanting to let its horns and push power be felt for a while this week.

In short, the energy is "on fire. A great week to get things done, pick yourself up, take charge and feel powerful and radiant. Just make sure you don't suddenly press the 'gas pedal' full force, shoot forward too quickly, overstep your own or someone else's boundary or react too explosively. Everything in moderation.

'How is your firepower? Is your inner fire burning? What or who is it burning for? And what is your main fuel?'
