Root to Rise: Sacred Seeds & Quiet Power

27 APRIL - 3 MAY 2025
This week, we are invited to slow all the way down. To breathe deeper, move softer, and return to the spaces within that crave simplicity and safety.
Under the dark velvet sky of the Super New Moon in Taurus, we meet a moment rich with potential—not the kind that rushes or demands, but the kind that builds slowly, deliberately, like roots beneath fertile soil.
This is where the real growth happens. Not in the noise, but in the quiet commitment to what truly matters.
Take a soft inhale, find the moments of stillness, and return to your soul's presence.
As the Super New Moon in Taurus rises, we are given permission to pause, to plant, and to believe in slow magic. This isn’t the energy of rushing ahead. It’s the energy of making one small, sacred choice and trusting it will grow.
And as we cross into May, a new rhythm begins to pulse beneath our feet. A chapter is ending, and another is already forming—a brighter one, one that invites us to rise with courage and walk with soul purpose.
There is no rush here. Only rhythm.
This week, listen for the beat of your own becoming. Let the moon hold you. Let the Earth steady you. Let the whispers of your soul remind you:
You are already enough.
You are already on your way.
And what you plant with love will grow.

Astro Dates to Note:April 27 - Taurus Super New Moon
This New Moon is the official close to the Eclipse Season.
We begin a brand-new lunar cycle, grounded and potent.
The energy of Mars and Pluto stirs globally—there may be emotional or financial tension around us.
But within you? Stillness. A new path was made visible. Stay rooted.
April 30 – Venus enters Aries
Love gets bold. Money matters call for clarity.
Themes from earlier in the year may return—this time, you’re stronger.
Take swift action where it serves your growth. Advocate for your desires.
May 1 – Pluto Retrograde begins (in Aquarius)
After nearly a month of zero retrogrades, Pluto’s quiet descent begins.
This retrograde works beneath the surface, guiding deep reflection.
You may revisit themes from October 2024—transformation, empowerment, and truth.
May’s Cosmic Preview
May arrives with a whole new frequency—one that nudges us gently (or boldly) toward a soul-aligned reset.
All planets were direct since April 13—this brings more clarity.
Pluto’s retrograde (May 4) invites inner work, not outer resistance.
The full Moon in Scorpio (May 5) kicks off deep soul-searching and spiritual truth-telling.
Saturn into Aries (May 27) is a karmic reset: a new 2.5-year cycle begins, building new structures from soul wisdom.
Saturn-Neptune alignment brings a rare blend of grounded dreams—time to vision and build the dream.
✨ May is transformation, but with grace. Awakening, but with rhythm. It’s a sacred shift into the next layer of your path.
Numerology of May – The Magic of 5
As we enter May, we step into a Universal Month 5 in a Universal Year 8. This is the energy of movement, freedom, and personal expression. But paired with Taurus' slow, earthy pull, we are reminded:
Lasting freedom is found in structure. Sustainable change is soulful, not sudden.
Let the month of May be a time of sacred shifting—not chaotic change, but intuitive re-alignment.
Practices for the Week:
Plant your intentions physically (seed rituals, Earth offerings)
Journal about where you choose love over fear
Take time offline and reconnect to your body and breath
Review finances and relationships—choose authenticity over comfort
Journal Prompts
What does abundance feel like in my body?
What am I building—and is it rooted in what I value?
Where can I simplify, so I can breathe again?
What does emotional safety mean to me, and how can I create more of it?
✨ Affirmation of the Week
"I plant my intentions in sacred soil. I honor the path I’ve walked and trust the one unfolding. I am rooted, I am rising, I am ready."
This week is not about doing more. It’s about doing what matters most, with care.
Let May hold you. Let the moon guide you. Let your intuition take the lead.
The cosmic rhythm is shifting—and you, dear one, are shifting with it.
The new chapter isn’t waiting for you out there. It begins right here, in the quiet choice to trust your own becoming.
Join me for a live Super New Moon session on Monday night. Let’s set our sacred intentions, open to May’s energy, and ground into our deepest worth together.
Love you,
Sarah
