I’m just dropping in briefly to send a wave of energetic support. From the conversations I’ve been having and what I’m witnessing, things feel especially intense right now—and you may be feeling that too.

If you’re curious about the astrological layer of what’s unfolding, Laura shared a thoughtful post on the April 17th New Moon in Aries. She dives into the rare alignment of a seven-planet stellium in Aries, along with other unusual influences that may resonate with something you’ve been sensing, questioning, or trying to understand.

Whether it brings confirmation or simply reflection, one thing feels clear—these are deeply transformational times (capital “T,” and yes, a little pun intended).

Interestingly, the external world has been mirroring that intensity. Just before this New Moon, we experienced a sudden two-day storm that dropped a surprising amount of snow right in the middle of warming spring weather. At our elevation, we received around 16–18 inches, with even more in higher areas—something that extended the ski season a bit longer and brought some unexpected joy to those still on the slopes.

Then, the very next day, a 5.7 earthquake struck about 54 miles away. We felt it strongly, especially with the way our home is positioned, though thankfully there was no damage. Still, it served as a powerful reminder: shifts are happening—both around us and within us.

So yes, the idea of “literal and personal earthquakes” isn’t just metaphorical right now.

But as I shared with Laura, these shifts don’t have to dismantle everything. They can arrive in manageable ways—acting as meaningful markers that invite us to pause, recalibrate, and move energy through us with awareness.

And as I’ve reflected with a friend, returning to gratitude for what is—and trusting that life is ultimately working in our favor, even when it doesn’t appear that way—can shift our state more quickly than we might expect.

We’re all moving through this together. The more each of us can consciously work with what’s arising in our own lives, the more grounded and supportive we can be for one another.

If you feel called, take a moment to explore the three reflection questions at the end of Laura’s post—even if astrology itself isn’t something you usually resonate with.

At its core, this energy is about new beginnings. It opens a bold, initiating doorway—encouraging you to bring your desires into form, stand firmly in your individuality, and release patterns that no longer align. With the strong Aries influence, there’s a call toward honesty, courage, and forward movement—an invitation to trust yourself, speak your truth, and take aligned action toward what you feel deeply guided to create.

For me, this is showing up in very real ways—I’m literally stepping into a new journey in a few short days, while also navigating entirely new inner terrain.

So I’ll leave you with this:

Where in your life are you being called to move, shift, or begin again?

And if you’re feeling called to crystal support, there are still companions available from the release. Several have found homes, others are being considered—but the partnership always aligns at the right time, place, and frequency. Orders available only until 4/19 if you want them before June.
