Creativity & Connection in Times of Chaos

Pisces to Aries...here we go.....

It is Aries season and yet many planets linger in Pisces including Venus, Saturn, Ceres and the North Node. Yet spiritual guide Neptune, the great dissolver, just entered Aries after a long 14 year journey in Pisces. We have more meditation and yoga teachers on this planet than ever before! So now what? What kind of a fire can Neptune in Aries ignite? Aries, not known for patience will test us on how deeply seated we are in our spiritual values. Can we be courageous for all the right reasons without starting a raging fire? In Aries we learn to trust our na'au, our instincts.

Today Mercury, just out of itʻs 3 week retrograde in Pisces, will also enter Aries. You may find words fly out of your mouth a little faster! Then two days later Mars enters fire sign Leo after a looooong retrograde in sensitive Cancer. Time to get creative and let the heart lead....

The Sun moves into earthy Taurus to slow things down by Saturday the 19th, just in time to remind us how to stay grounded and in our values. By the end of the month on 4/30 Venus will enter Aries after her loooong retrograde in Pisces. Serious Saturn leaves Pisces and enters Aries on 5/24. So....I am just sayin' energies are moving quickly soon from Pisces to Aries! Prepare thyself!

Quoting astrologer Adam Gainsberg from his recent newsletter: Aries and Pisces - absolutely require one another. Without Aries, Pisces dissociates and remains uninterested in evolving as its nature draws it to matters of oneness, fantasy and the unseen. And without Pisces, Aries has no silent, vast launchpad for all its instinct-fire to agitate latent energy to guarantee it keeps flowing here in the 3D.

The more in tune we are with this opportunity for igniting something new in our lives, while remaining centered, the easier of a time we will have. I personally have an Aries moon and South Node, so these lessons have been my path for many years. The North Node is currently in Pisces until July 26th of 2026. 

I have had the honor of studying with Astrologer Jason Holley for the past few years. His style is quite unique in creating living ways of experiencing the cosmos. I will be one of 20 facilitators leading a workshop October 2-5 in Santa Fe, NM. I will lead grief and gratitude rituals around the astrological shifts of 2025 including Neptune and Saturn and Ceres from Pisces to Aries. Please come join in the spirit of play and community at the first Living Astrologies Conference which is very reasonably priced. Every level of astrological knowledge is welcomed!

Chris Brennan from the Astrology Podcast just did a long interview with Jason about Experiential Astrology which you can view here as well. It is well worth the watch!

As I embody with feeling the impulses of the planetary shifts of 2025, I sense a belonging here in my body, on this island and here on this emerald planet. These are challenging times. My mentor Francis Weller recently shared the medicine needed to get through this long dark, this time of unknowing when it seems everything is crumbling. He described this soul medicine needed during these vulnerable times.

1. Robust friendships and community - We need places of safety where life endures. We need belonging.
2. Developing imagination -  We can allow ourselves to be reimagined in the dark. We can wait expectantly for something creative to burst forth. We can be part tree, bird, mountain or sky...we can sing.
3. Remembering our deep ancestral inheritance - we can commune with ancestors who set the trail on the ground for us with primary satisfactions such as the sharing meals, watching sunsets and being simple with our needs. 

I continue to offering astrological counseling and energy healing sessions with an emphasis on finding a sense of belonging and following cycles that help one ground. I encourage expression of both grief and gratitude and include rituals of renewal and release. My healing hale in Honoka'a is a haven a safety to all who enter as well as is my zoom room. Classes are still ongoing with Sacred Path Healing school as well for those who want a deep dive into life long healing skills.

Keeping compassion flowing while trying some new things will take some trust. Courage is fear walking they say. I have been reflecting on sacred activism and bringing in "Music as Medicine" to my local community, planting a garden and deepening my solitude practices. I listen to the planets and stars, I talk to trees and the ocean with all her amazing creatures. You can too, just ask!

May you find your people and know you are safe and loved regardless of the external circumstances of these challenges we face. Letʻs keep resting on mother earth to know we belong here in this moment in time.

I send all my love and aloha,

Kauakea
