The Healed Warrior’s Reset: Navigating the Aries Stellium and the Journey to Taurus

Collective Energy Reading

“We don’t really heal anything; we simply let it go”
— Carl Jung

Hiya Traveller,

If you’ve been feeling like you’re vibrating at a frequency that’s hard to sustain, you aren’t alone. My return from Bali in February, has become an integrated and healing core memory, has anchored me into a new level of stability that I am ready to expand with, especially as I reflect on the incredible Aries Stellium we just moved through. Amidst all the intense planetary action of the last few months, I’ve achieved a major personal goal: consistency in showing up for my weekly readings on YouTube. Offering this steady guidance to you is an achievement I’ve long wanted to fulfil, and it’s served as my own anchor during this supercharged starting point. This week, I wanted to reach you here through the written word.

You can dive into the past month of weekly readings on my channel, where I’ve shared a mix of general collective readings to sense the wider atmospheric currents, and elemental "all signs" readings for more specific check-ins for your sun, moon, and rising signs.

The Cosmic Weather

In mid-April 2026, we saw a rare concentration of energy as eight planetary bodies gathered in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac: the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Chiron, and Eris. Between April 15 and April 19, 2026, this peak intensity created a powerful "fire" energy designed to blast us forward into a new hero's journey.

Before we meet the "cast" of this drama, a gentle note: I am by no means an astrology expert. I look to many wise mentors, and experts in their own right, to help bring this information through me, and I simply want to share the research I’ve been doing as I process these energies alongside you. This is not a full list or a complete guide; there are many ways to interpret these forces, but I hope this sparks resonance for your own experience.

The Science of Symbols: Carl Jung & The Tarot

As a student of psychology, I view these planetary "characters" through the inspired lens of man influences, like Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Jung, who is known for founding analytical psychology and the first who named the Collective Unconscious—a genetically inherited reservoir of universal patterns called archetypes. When I read the Tarot, I see the cards as symbolic keys that help us unlock subconscious knowing to co-create a path forward. By viewing energy through these archetypes, we tap into an intuitive language that helps the unseen become seen in our present reality.

Choosing Discernment Over Anticipation

With so much energy active, the nervous system often stays in Anticipation—a survival loop of "What if something goes wrong?" that floods the body with cortisol. As we enter Taurus season, our job is to shift into Discernment. This is the practice of asking: "What is actually happening right now?". Discernment allows choice to return to the system, letting us observe sensations—like that "anticlimactic" hollow ache—without claiming them as our personal pathology. It is the realisation that fear can pass through us without becoming our identity.

Sovereignty in Action: The Boss Within

This "reality check" is reflected in my own academic path as I dive into my second statistics unit at University and begin my ADHD medication journey. It’s still early days, but this combination has unlocked a new level of focus and a legitimate nervous system reset and allow an anxious anticipation to move through me. I have also officially become a qualified partner with the HeartMath Institute, and I’ve already guided my first two students through the Building Personal Resilience course, which I am now honoured to offer to all of you. My personal practices now feel like a true backbone rather than a forced daily chore and being able to share these and witness people I care about experience their own shifts has been truly rewarding.

Up here in Far North Queensland, the wet season is yielding to milder months, and The Portal Place is open six days a week in the heart of the rainforest. I’m looking forward to the new travellers and locals who will cross my path this season. Through it all, my cattle-dog Poppy remains as loyal and loving as ever, mirroring my own journey as she settles into life as a secure and stable lady alongside me.

Ways to Work with Me

If you have read this far, I am filled with overwhelming gratitude for your presence. It is a beautiful reminder that we are all moving on our own journey at our own pace. Much like us, the planets move at vastly different speeds; while the Moon dances through a sign in just two days, the outer giants like Neptune stay for over a decade. As a final wrap-up, remember that while the "fast" planets move on, Saturn and Neptune are still in Aries, acting as long-term anchors for a "healing soul reset" that will shape our structural identity for years to come.

Until then, be sure to take good care and always remember to keep true!

I believe in sovereignty through transparency. While the insights and reflections shared here are uniquely mine, I use AI tools like NotebookLM and ChatGPT to help me synthesise research and organise the patterns I notice in the collective. As a psychology student who thinks in energy and images before words, these tools act as a vital bridge—not to replace my voice, but to help it land with the coherence and presence I value.
