Spring Energy Forecast: Leadership, Love And Red Tape

Hello, my beautiful souls! Welcome to another full energy forecast. This will be a forecast for spring, carrying us through till the end of May. For some of you, of course, the energy might shift faster or more slowly – please do try not to compare your own timeline to anyone else’s (I’ve been guilty of that a lot lately, and all it’s really done is get me into tangles and hot water – neither of which I suggest you pick up on your journey right now). Take a moment to ground yourself by either taking a big, deep breath or bringing some attention to where your body is in space. See if you can relax it, just a little. 

Take another deep breath (just for fun), and after that glorious exhale, let’s dive in!

For some of you, it may feel like the year of the fire horse has been a bit of a non-starter. You may be wondering, “When is all this fast-paced energy going to start?” And let me assure you, dear one, it will. But if you, like so many others, have not been feeling the energy of the fire horse quite yet, it’s mainly to do with three different variables floating around in your sphere of energetics:

1. You had unfinished business to wrap up.

Maybe it was a breakup (there were so many of these coming in 2026, which I mentioned here, in my annual forecast, where the grief hasn’t (or hadn’t) quite finished shedding. Maybe it was some other type of loss, self-discovery, or cosmic re-arrangement that had you searching for solid ground in a place you thought was steady.

In any case, the reins of personal growth have been focused on you – and truthfully, if the speed and pace of the fire horse had hit you, you wouldn’t have been able to handle the heat. 

2. You’re in the middle of birthing something.

If it wasn’t grief that had your focus turned somewhere other than forwards, it’s possible you’re still in the process of birthing a change in yourself – whether it’s a business project, side-quest -turned-main-quest, or some sort of personal transition, the energy of the new can’t be ushered in while you’re in the middle of a birth. It’s like trying to get pregnant while you’re already pregnant. Ain’t gonna happen, baby.

Give yourself grace during this period – (especially my Aquarians, Scorpios and Libran babies working hard at what they love) – it’s more important you focus on birthing the current project at hand than looking around to see where everyone else has gotten to. You’ll be plenty busy enough come early summer, I promise you.

3. You’re a bit of an outlier, or an innovator

You know that lyric from Smash Mouth’s ” All-Star “ about how “only shooting stars, break the mo-oo-old?” If you haven’t been feeling the fire horse energy yet, it’s possible you’re one of those souls that doesn’t really tend to do anything on anyone’s timeline. You may have been considered a late bloomer, or chronically early (guilty), but basically, when it comes down to it, you + timelines = hacking your own path with a machete and your hair tied back.

It can feel frustrating when we feel a misalignment with what’s going on with the greater collective, but truthfully, would you really want to be on the same timeline as everyone else? If you’re someone who has marched (or danced) to the beat of their own drum for this long, suddenly flowing in with the mix might feel like there’s something off.

Lean back into your seat of self-identity (it is Aries season, after all), and trust in the fact that your timeline doesn’t look like everyone else’s because you are holding a different set of keys. And when your people realize that your door is the one they’re looking for, you’ll be hella grateful you had this extra time to rest, polish, and intend and prepare.

The shift from Aries season to Taurus season (last week of April) brings with it a whole bunch of sticky and entangled energy. Instead of getting caught in it or discouraged by the sight of it, bring down the power of your visualization for this obstacle-course of a time period.

Despite what the sensationalized astrology may be saying, mindset matters more than results in this mid-spring shift, and seeing something that feels impossible as ‘tricky’ or ‘unique’ could be the difference between you calling in a totally different way of functioning vs. quitting at the first sign (or third) sign of trouble. Fear not, and hold fast; what you are calling in during this period is much more important than what you currently see on your plate in front of you.

If you’re able to lean into the threads of power you’re desiring to weave instead of the fraying ones currently in your hands, you may find yourself sailing smoothly through a period many around you may have described as rough seas.

For those of you who describe yourselves (or maybe know, innately) as natural leaders, my question for you is this: Do you know what every successful ship captain has on hand? A crew. The energy for this chapter is asking you to please, please, pick up the phone and call your friends. You may not feel like you really need it, but sometimes all we need is a friendly voice on the other side of the line before we realize we’ve been carrying too much for too long. On the other side of the coin, a gentle reminder from this quarter’s energetics that loneliness can be self-imposed.

Despite what patriarchy has taught us, the most successful of us have not, in fact, climbed the mountain alone. We’ve done it with friends, laughter, and tears along the way. (And, of course, someone to pick us up when we’ve fallen and are convinced this side of the mountain we’re on is our new forever home).

If you’re reading this, it because you are part of the *new* generation of leaders – the ones who plan to be permanent changemakers, and not burn out by the time they’re 44. Do yourself a favor and pick up the phone, send the text, or make the invite happen. Your friends miss you, too. 

The final energetic message for this period was soft, romantic, and filled with the sensual flame of candlelight. The Lover’s card was pulled from the deck, and the message was abundantly clear: Love is on the horizon. Now, before you start stalking the guy you met in line at your local café on social media or consider jumping out of your current relationship, I’d like to ask you this: When it comes to your relationship with yourself, how would you describe the feeling of falling in love? Like, really in love. With your own life.

For me, for example, being in a state of total romance with myself looks like a clean altar, filled with my devotion and desires; fresh-cut flowers (everywhere, preferably); Celtic music that makes you want to twirl in a million circles; and a day spent being as wild as can be by the sea. Now that’s my idea of romance.

Love as an Energy

For some of you, this may, in fact, bring real love on the horizon – whether it’s in the form of a new friendship, a new colleague at work who actually sees you, or a real-life romantic endeavor. For most, however, the energy of love is being ushered in to your daily life. What’s one thing you could do in your daily life to romanticize things a little bit? For example, as someone who spends most of her time writing and in her office at home, putting on jeans, brushing my teeth, and putting my hair up in a way other than I would at the gym gives me a bit of fire to whatever I’m in the process of creating. It may not feel like it makes a difference, but it does. (I got this trick from Liz Gilbert).

Lean into the creative magic that comes with the revival of spring, and romanticize yourself a little bit. It may just feed you in more ways than you expect.

That’s all for the Energy forecast this spring!
