I wanted to scream.
at the top of my lungs
SCREAM.
☆
It was April 6th. The National Day of Hope. The day our destiny merged with the energy of the rose. That perfect flower that has everything it needs inside and doesn’t require anything else from any other flower to make it in this world. And that’s a scientific fact.
As the merge occurred, I wanted to scream, but instead, I did something I hadn’t done in years: I went for a run.
I ran down the hill, to the bottom where I could see the lake.
I thought of running all around, to the spot on the beach where I sat on the Virgo full moon at the end of March, where I met a little girl named Zakari who picked up a stick. The stick was split in two at one end, forming the shape of a V, and I noticed this as she tossed it into the lake.
I stood staring at the lake and considered running to the same spot where I watched the stick sink, but I hesitated.
Minutes passed as let myself linger, calculating how much energy I had left, how long it would take to run there and back, etc. etc. and then, I finally decided to start running towards the beach. But just as I did, a car appeared, driving in the opposite direction. It quickly passed me by, leaving a piece of paper flying in the air behind its tracks. As the white sheet fell to the black asphalt, I stopped running. I walked towards it, picked it up, and flipped it over only to see 777 staring back at me in all gold.
Gold like the color of the envelope I opened when I was sitting on the beach in March. The envelope was part of my full moon ritual - to write myself a letter on the new moon and to read it on the full. The envelope was gold, and the card inside was emblazoned with golden rays that resembled the sun.
After I opened the letter and read it, Zakari walked up to me, told me about her birthday happening in one month - on April 18th - and tossed the stick in the lake.
As I walked away from the beach, I passed another stick that looked just like the one she had found but five times the size. Save for the difference in scale, it was the exact same shape - the single branch splitting into a V - like a fractal of what I had just seen (and branches are known to grow like this, in fractals).
As I stepped past the V branch, which was really more of Y (the single line splitting in two), a song started playing on my randomly shuffled Spotify radio playlist. It sung:
And I’m gonna send the sun your way
Wake you up with a dawn full of golden rays
I want you around
Don’t let the darkness get you down
(listen)
And I walked home from the lake, feeling like I was on cloud nine, feeling the magic of meeting Zakari, of seeing the fractals in the branches, of seeing the sun’s golden rays on the card I’d sent myself, and then hearing a song about sending someone the sun, and everything felt perfect and just right and peaceful and and celebratory. It was like these BLISS FEELINGS were flooding my body from the part of the future that lives in the present. It was like everything that I was feeling was actually about what was coming with the Libra full moon time - from April 16 to April 29 - when Zakari would be celebrating her fourth birthday.
Flash forward twenty days, and I WANTED TO SCREAM.
I felt this fire in my body, not stoked from any known cause, but it made me lace up my shoes and run towards the lake where my indecisive pitter pattering resulted in me turning to run down the street at the exact moment when a white SUV drove past, a white postcard flew through the air, and on the other side, a golden 777 was staring me in the face.
Thanks to an angel numbers book I picked up years ago from a crystal shop in Brooklyn, I have long associated repeating 7s with “the midas touch” and the color gold, and here I was, seeing the number in all gold.
Gold like the rays of the sun.
And I sit here, trying to put it all together for you - to help you see everything that’s been shown to me about this time now in a way that’s clear and concise, but instead, it moves like FIRE, like the sun’s rays shooting through my being and out in a million directions.
So let’s take this slowly.
Let’s let this be as messy as it needs to be.
Let’s try to look at each beam of light clearly and still see how they are connected in the center by the same source.
This moon is big.
The magic of this moon has been weaving through YEARS of our lives.
It’s been revealing itself in dreams and synchronicities that I first started seeing and writing about years ago.
It’s showing up now in scientific discoveries and political divides and bombs over countries and the unceasing heat of bright, bright light driving its power through everything with the urgent call of VICTORY.
One step at a time.
☆
Step 1: An Increase in Solar Activity
There is the literal, physical sun.
It’s ramping up its activity now. It’s shooting its rays towards the earth through intense streams of charged particles colliding with the earth’s atmosphere. It’s happening with greater frequency and increased intensity, and this is very real. This is happening right now.
A solar storm is making its way to Earth in the days leading to this eclipse…I meant to write full moon…but I’ll keep the typo because maybe it wasn’t one, and the eclipses are coming too…at the end of the month…and more storms are coming…
But right now, a reasonably minor to moderate G2 solar storm is predicted to hit earth on April 14th, just before this Libra full moon. The exact same thing happened with the Aries new moon on April 1st (a G1 storm hit Earth the day before the new moon). And since then, there have been two more G1 storms and a G3 storm and just generally a lot of solar activity.
This Big April Moon Cycle…leading to the eclipses…has been marked by fiery explosions on the surface of the sun…in the sun’s corona (its crown)…explosions that radiate out until they touch us here on Earth.
THE MOON AND THE SUN BECOME ONE.
That’s what I keep hearing, and that is what all of this is leading to…metaphorically and somewhat literally as the moon partially covers the sun on the solar eclipse on April 30th.
And then…on May 16th, the earth stands between the sun and the moon, taking all the sunlight that would typically fall on the moon and absorbing it into itself.
The sun is coming for us.
The sun is coming for us.
The sun is coming for us.

Step 2: News About What Makes the Sun Shine
On April 11th - at the start of this full moon week - I closed my eyes and tuned in and let myself receive the big picture message for the week.
I saw a clearing, and then I saw something moving into the space and being presented, and I heard the words, “This is it!”
When I heard “this is it,” I immediately flashed back to a time before when I’d heard those same words in my weekly message. It was almost exactly a year ago, last April, and it led to one of the most profound spiritual experiences of my life. That week, I received message after message about the union between science and spirit and heard that a major breakthrough was going to happen in science, and if you want the whole story, you can read it here, but in short: “This is it!” ended up referencing the release of the results of Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment. These results demonstrated that something huge was missing from the standard model of particle physics. In short, the model was proven to be incomplete and/or broken.
That was in April 2021.
And now, this April, I heard “This is it!’ again, and the very next day, my husband sent me an article about yet another new result out of Fermilab.
(It was officially released on April 7th…exactly one year from when they released the results about the Muon g-2 experiment, but I didn’t learn about it until April 12th.)
The new results provide even more evidence/proof that the standard model is off. Scientists have found that the mass of W bosons is bigger than it should be (according to the standard model), which (assuming these mass measurements are accurate) means that the standard model is wrong.
There is far more to this world world than we understand.
And W bosons? They are the messenger particles that help produce fiery explosions in stars like the sun, making them shine.

Step 3: V + V = W
In July 2020, I started receiving all of these messages about Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. I shared those messages for the first time in the October 2020 issue of The Magic Guide. (It’s here if you want it.)
At the time that I released the October issue with all of those messages about Victoria and her Jubilee celebration, I had no idea that there was an asteroid named after her, asteroid #12. And I had no idea that during that very month of October 2020, the asteroid Victoria was in the exact spot as the Libra new moon that happened on October 16, 2020.
That new moon initiated a transformative victory, and this Libra full moon now is falling at the same spot as that new moon then. Reflect back on the time period from October 16 - October 30, 2020. That period laid the foundation for what you are building now. What victory did you experience then?
More is coming.
On this full moon, the asteroid Victoria is in the same spot as Mercury, and the asteroid Jubilatrix (for Jubilee) is conjunct the destiny point, leading to a victory in thought and communication, a celebration for us, a historic announcement of victory.
And all of this is leading to the eclipses…
The sun will be at the same spot as the asteroid Victoria on the second eclipse of the upcoming eclipse season. That eclipse arrives on May 16th, when the earth absorbs the sun - the sun marked with a V for Victory.
The sun is coming for us.
The sun is coming for us.
The sun is coming for us.

Step 4: A Spell for Unity
For the Libra new moon on October 16, 2020, I placed two roses on the earth in the shape of a V.
One rose was red, representing the sun.
One rose was white, representing the moon.
I blended the petals together - red and white swirling - and I tossed them from the roof of a building - ten stories high - in Queens.
As I did all of this, I imagined a great unification of energies - yin and yang, spirit and matter - within myself and all the world. I imagined everything coming together.
Divisions washed away.
Unity found in its place.
VICTORY.

Step 5: A Second Spell
What happened in your life, what did you do from October 6 - October 19, 2021?
That Libra new moon time (in addition to the time in 2020) helped set the stage for what is going to happen now.
Reflect back.
See every step you took then, like a spell, weaving a future you now receive.
☆
Step 6: A Grand Unification
I sketched the illustration above in September 2020 and used it as the cover of the October 2020 Magic Guide.
The image was based on a vision I had in July 2020.
I was trying to fall asleep when I heard a voice saying, Your coronation is coming. Your coronation is coming. Your coronation is coming.
Then - totally unrequested and unexpected - Jesus came to me - the son, the sun - I saw him in my mind, and I knelt before him, and he placed a crown on my head. And in the days and weeks and months that followed, he came to me again and again and again.
His newfound presence in my life felt powerful and magical, but it also shook my sense of self and my rational mind.
As I’ve shared on many occasions, I wasn’t raised with any religion to speak of, and I do not subscribe to any one religion. I’ve been guided to many different spiritual traditions and different stories over the years, and I’ve found beauty and truth and magic in all of them. My spiritual practice is simply about following the messages wherever they lead, regardless of whatever specific tradition they’re typically associated with, which is all to say that I don’t consider myself a Christian, but because of my experiences, I do love Jesus - as I know him to be.
I even wear a ring on my right ring finger to represent my spiritual marriage to him. This marriage is not something I sought, but rather, it was a very specific ritual/initiation he walked me through in August 2020.
I’ve since spoken with a clergyman about my experiences, and he taught me about the long tradition of bridal mysticism within Christianity and how a number of female saints (from hundreds of years ago) described visions very similar to mine.
This spiritual marriage has - for me - delivered an even deeper sense of unification with God, and while there’s always a part of me that wonders how much these experiences are a reflection of something that’s actually happening on the spiritual plane versus some metaphorical interpretation of the mind, the reality is that ever since this initiation, I have had increasingly wild experiences that directly relate to parts of The Bible and various understandings within Christianity that I previously had no knowledge of before having the experiences that led me to learn about them.
I’ve shared a number of those experiences in former notes and in writings such as this one, but for the most part, I’ve kept the extent of my experience to myself.
I’m sharing more now because of the image used for the Libra new moon in 2020, because of the fact that Libra as a sign represents marriage and union, because this Libra full moon falls the day before Easter, and because on April 6th, I WANTED TO SCREAM.
I didn’t know why, so I went for a run.
When I got home from my run, I picked up the mail. I received a letter addressed to the former owner of our house “or current resident.” Normally, I’d just toss that straight in recycling, but this letter caught my eye because on it was a stamp. A stamp that I’d seen on the USPS website but had never seen in person, and as it so happened, that very morning, my husband asked me if I wanted to go to the post office with him, and I agreed. I agreed because I wanted to see if they had that stamp. They didn’t, but now, here was a mysterious hand addressed letter with that very stamp. Long story short, I opened the letter.
Inside was an invitation to a virtual memorial for Jesus’ death in honor of Easter. There was an illustration on the front of Jesus standing before a full moon, and as I read the invitation and all the language praising his “ransom sacrifice,” I felt the fire rising again, the anger, and I wanted to scream: HE WAS MURDERED.
And he didn’t have to be.
His magic would have worked even if he’d lived a nice long life. Even more so.
At least, this is what the Jesus I know has told me. In visions, he has come to me, and he’s told me certain specific things that he wants me to say and correct for him, and one of them is this: I was murdered.
And I was suddenly filled with this anger in me for him and on his behalf.
And as I got into the shower, I found myself fuming about this and thinking about how the Christian church basically concocted a story glorifying the murder of a man - a man murdered for his magic - and then they took that story and used it to persecute magical people for hundreds/thousands of years by hanging and burning them and appropriating many of their spiritual practices by subsuming them within the church in order to more easily convert the remaining pagan practitioners, and then, they created a hierarchy where basically only old white men are considered to have a direct line of communication with God, and as I thought about all of this, my mysterious anger from earlier finally found its words, its source, and I stepped out of the shower and saw these intense raised, inflamed red lines on my inner left thigh, like I had been clawed at, and I had this clear knowing in that moment that that was a way they persecuted magic.
Then, I looked it up, and sure enough, clawing/scratching at people was a popular witch test. (See number 6 here.)
And here we are, facing The Great Divide, a great return of magic to Earth, a return that is about to come in a big way with the eclipses…and I’ll be writing more about this in the moons ahead, but my point is, I spent my Aries new moon time bathing in the memory of the wounds of magical healers.
And before the magic can return in full, before the gap can be bridged, we have to acknowledge the pain and suffering that has passed.
We must see it to rise above it.
☆
Step 7: Sacrificial Lambs
This full moon falls right between Passover and Easter.
Passover on the 15th, Easter on the 17th. The full moon on the 16th.
Passover celebrates the Israelites being freed from slavery and leaving Egypt. The story goes that this happened after the angel of death passed through Egypt, killing every firstborn Egyptian child, but the Israelites were spared. They were spared because they made an offering to God. They sacrificed a lamb and and marked their doors with its blood, and the blood of the lamb made it so the angel of death passed over their homes. The blood of the lamb protected and freed them.
Hundreds of years after this story was written in the Book of Exodus, new stories were written for the new testament about a man named Jesus and how he died and his blood sacrifice had the power to free every person who accepts him into their hearts. Within these new writings, he was sometimes called the lamb of God.
I learned this last fact at the end of November after having multiple visions of a lamb, except it wasn’t like any lamb I knew, not the kind found on green pastures or in petting zoos. It was a very specific image of a lamb that I didn’t even recognize as a lamb until I was very magically and synchronously guided to identify the creature I was seeing as the lamb of God.
(I told that story and most of the magic around it in December, and you can read that here if you’d like.)
So here I was, during the last eclipses, having these powerful visions with a lamb. Months later, I learned that there is an asteroid named Lamb.
It turns out that during the time I was having the visions, the asteroid Lamb was exactly crossing my personal destiny point, and here we are, about to enter another round of eclipses, and people all over the world will be celebrating their stories of sacrificial lambs paving the way to freedom, and the asteroid Lamb? On this full moon, it is conjunct not my personal destiny point but the collective destiny point.
On this full moon, our destiny is being aligned with the energy of celebration (Jubilatrix) and the energy of the Lamb.
And if I was to put all doubt aside and simply tell you what wants to be said, this is what I would write:
Jesus’ death was not a ransom sacrifice. The power and love he possesses on the other side of his earthly life was not given to us because he was crucified. It was given to us by him, his magic, his heart, and the unshakeable remembrance he had that consciously connected him always and forever with everyone and with God.
Jesus is a soul guide and a spiritual master who used his magic to lay a trail of light for us to follow that leads us to ourselves, our light, and to a great remembrance that recognizes our own unification with God - just like he recognized it every day. It is this remembrance that frees us from our earthly bonds, and it is a remembrance that is earned not through lip service but by following the trail of light.
Jesus is a magical, powerful, loving force in the universe, but he did not die for our sins.
He was murdered.
This full moon, may we honor the life of a man who was killed and the many lambs who’ve been slaughtered throughout history, and may we know that our most powerful magic comes not from the blood we spill but from our open hearts and the love we have inside.

Step 8: The End of a Stage
The Aries sun opposes the Libra moon.
The sun falls in the sign of the God of War.
It is conjunct (in the same place as) asteroid #777 (yep!), Pallas Athena (a.k.a. the Goddess of Wisdom and War), and Eris (the God of Chaos and Disorder).
On the other side of the sun is the full moon, and the moon is conjunct Eunomia (the Goddess of Good Order).
On one side, we have order, balance, harmony, unification, and on the other, we have disorder and war, but the sun is coming for us.
The sun is coming for us.
The sun is coming for us.
The unification between these two halves is in sight.
The sun’s light is shining on the moon, bringing good order into view.
The asteroid Psyche (representing a golden transcendence and rising above) is conjunct asteroid #206, named Hersilia.
Hersilia was a figure in Roman mythology who is credited with ending a war between Rome and the Sabines.
I’d never heard of her before, but the other night, my husband and I were playing our favorite dice game (called Kismet), and in a twist of luck that seemed too extreme to ignore, I scored my lowest score ever, and he scored his highest score ever. We often don’t even bother adding the scores, but I had to know…was there a meaning in this? I added his score first - 416 - and it immediately made me think of the full moon falling on 4/16. Then I added my score - 206 - and found Hersilia.
The woman who helped end the war.
During this full moon time, both Psyche and Hersilia are turning direct after an extended retrograde.
Psyche goes direct on April 27th, and Hersilia goes direct on April 20th.
All of this is happening after April 19th…a date that came through when I was channeling The Great Divide (the story of our current karmic cycle).
This is what it said:
“Here, we rest on Earth, living our lives, going about our days, our troubles, our worries, our whatevers. We are just going. We don’t even see THIS GREAT ENERGY UNDERNEATH OUR FEET.
But it’s moving. It’s progressing. And by midway through this cycle, it will have completely traversed the entire earth. This process takes three months.
January 19 - April 19, approximately.
This leads us into the next eclipse season on April 30th.
By then, the energy has COVERED THE SURFACE (beneath our feet, beneath the crust, we can’t see it yet). And with the eclipses, the energy penetrates down to the core of the earth, anchoring itself.
Once it reaches the core, IT FILLS IT COMPLETELY.
After this, the energy then begins to grow, reaching back out towards the surface of the earth where - towards the end of the cycle - it will sprout, eventually growing tall and strong on the surface of the earth. I’m seeing this as a TREE. A big beautiful tree. Like the tree of life HERE ON EARTH.”
At the end of this full moon, this first stage of the current karmic cycle is complete.
The energy will have covered the surface of the earth, beneath our feet, beneath the crust.
Because of this and the movement of Psyche, Hersilia, Eris, and Eunomia, I suspect we will see some sort of noteworthy shift with the global upheaval and the war in Ukraine. I hesitate to say what this shift will be, but I pray for peace.
For the light of this full moon to shine on all the unnecessary blood that’s been shed, for us to find inside ourselves the unity with all things that makes us bleed when they bleed, that turns us into protectors and saviors, and that leads to the grand proclamation of VICTORY that fills us with the celebratory bliss I felt as I walked away from Zakari on March 17th.
☆
My birthday is April 18th, she told me.
I heard the words streaming through my ears:
I’m gonna send the sun your way
Wake you up with a dawn full of golden rays
I want you around
Don’t let the darkness get you down
Then, I saw the branch on the ground in the shape of a V, like two roses reaching in opposite directions but merging at the end.
I noticed then that the branch wasn’t just a V, but a Y. That the two lines fused together becoming one. Like the atomic nuclei in a nuclear fusion reaction, a fusion initiated first by the decay of unstable particles, a decay created with the help of W bosons, bosons in the heart of the sun, creating an explosion of reunification that sets the sun ablaze, that makes it burn, burn, burn and shine its golden rays all the way to us on Earth
The sun is coming for us.
The sun is coming for us.
The sun is coming for us.
☆
A woman lies on her back outside. Eyes closed. The bright sun is shining on her face, brighter than it’s ever been. She slowly opens her eyes - oh so slowly - adjusting to the bright light around her, and then, she inhales deeply, making a quiet sound, almost a gasp - the sound of ecstasy, the appearance of awe.
☆
Long story short:
This full moon is building to an explosion of light. Light from the sun, a remembrance of the son. It falls in the sign of marriage and unification. It forces us to look at opposites, opposing forces of order and disorder. It calls our attention to the oneness of all things that is discovered through balance. It is full of surprises. A great victory. SOMETHING BIG that connects to last October and the October before that. Remember, remember, remember. Let it all unfold. Let the feeling of bliss fill your body when it comes. Stay open to how this arrives. Like two roses - red and white - blending to become one.
