Has your computer ever stalled and you had to click refresh, even though it meant losing your progress on the page? Then you realize you had mis-entered a key piece of data the first time, so ultimately it’s good your session was interrupted. This week could be a little bit like that.
It’s a week to turn the page from old stories. You don’t have to leave everything behind to start fresh. Wherever you are is a great place to start.
Hot off the heels of a New Moon with Uranus and square Mars, this lunar cycle can help you flip the script. Try a new approach. The seeds of possibilities you sow now may reap surprising rewards down the line.
I hope you enjoy this edition of Atmospherics, your daily breakdown of the week at hand.

Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus, sextile Venus & Saturn in Pisces
Revolutions seldom happen overnight. More often, they accumulate from small shifts and brave first steps. As we begin the lunar month, try and find your micro-revolution — whether it’s in your routine, something about how you speak or relate, or a perspective that you choose to carry throughout your days. Eventually, these adjustments can change the course of your life — or even history.

Moon in Gemini sextile Mars in Leo & Mercury in Aries
The saying goes “haste makes waste,” but so can overthinking. Get to the point today, and don’t miss the forest for the trees. To quote Shakespeare, brevity is the soul of wit.
Wednesday, April 30
Moon conjunct Jupiter in Gemini, square Saturn
Just because a door opens doesn’t mean you need to walk through it. If you can afford a side quest, today could be a great day for it. Just don’t confuse that with the longer road you are traveling. Saying no to one thing can allow you to invest in a bigger goal.

Moon in Cancer square Venus in Aries, sextile Sun in Taurus
Sometimes even when we know what’s healthy for us, we do the opposite. Whether it’s indulging a sweet tooth or engaging in a worn out relational dynamic, it can be all too easy to give into temptation. It just feels so good! At least in the moment… Today, try to discern between feeling good and being well. Feed your soul, not your urges.
Friday, May 2
Moon in Cancer square Mercury in Aries, trine Saturn in Pisces
It’s one thing to be in touch with your feelings about a situation, but knowing what to do about it, or how to talk about it, can be another matter entirely. Today you may feel an urgent need to voice something or put a plan in motion. Press pause and consider: what if the change you are seeking is inside?

Moon in Leo conjunct Mars, opposite Pluto, trine Venus in Aries
Essayist Tim Kreider wrote, “If we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known.” We all wear masks. Today, consider taking one off and not apologizing for what’s underneath.
Sunday, May 4
Moon in Leo square Sun in Taurus, trine Mercury in Aries
Perfect is the enemy of good. Today, don’t worry about being a master of something. Instead, focus on keeping your momentum. Keep your eye on the prize, and remember that wherever you are is good enough as long as you keep moving.
