Fire in the Skies –
Ashtara’s perspective on an important “Cosmic Cook-Up”
17/04/26

Saturn in Aries
Neptune in Aries
Sun in Aries
Moon in Aries
Chiron in Aries
Mars in Aries.
Mercury in Aries

Seven planets in Aries on the one day influencing planet Earth and all living creatures upon her. Surely something of global importance is to be initiated? The question is what?

The above approaching bundle of cosmic energy can be consciously used for the greater good – or otherwise. On a personal empowered level you can choose how you want to work with it and experience your choice externally. Hence this preparatory article.

To set the scene I’ll itemise the players and their separate influences in this large cosmic alignment, but first, I offer three definitions that may assist your understanding.

Consciousness – Light intelligence

Photon Light – a form of light intelligence accessible to all humans. Galactic information is coded into each cell of our bodies relative to our soul’s history experienced over countless
incarnations. The photon light activates it.

Ascension – the movement upwards on the vertical axis of consciousness of any of the four
bodies physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

Humanity had been travelling through a Galactic Night for 26,000 years – in the dark, unconscious and ignorant of our soul’s light. Our Solar System is now travelling through a galactic photon band of higher light frequencies and will be experiencing this finer frequency of light energy for the entire 2,600-year period of the Age of Aquarius. For humans to access this Light requires an inner journey. The inner journey to recover the Light of the soul becomes the most important journey ever taken. The energetic emanations from the planets in our solar system assist our evolution into greater light.

And now I’ll refer to the cosmic players in the approaching seven planets in Aries game:

Neptune in Aries: Spiritualised fire. The fire/flame of Spirit providing the initiatory energy for new beginnings. Archetypal image: The illumined Spiritual Warrior.

Saturn in Aries: The karmic timing of new beginnings; for the best Saturn in Aries results, it is wise to use your internal fire to confront self to establish your soul’s truth and, when clear, take the initiatory steps to restructure the part of your life that has been troublesome and seemingly hard. This means taking personal responsibility for your creations. Are you willing to do so?

Mercury in Aries: The messenger from the gods delivering new ideas. Best to be alert on the 16th of April when Mercury first enters Aries.

Mars in Aries: Masculine warring energy fighting for what it believes. The triggering energy of activation – of doing.

Chiron in Aries: The wounded spiritual warrior striving to awaken the part of the brain in humans that is unconsciousness and asleep.

Moon in Aries: A past heart-felt idea or soul’s yearning relating to a suppressed desire that may have been shoved into the subconscious and now can be acted upon.

Sun in Aries: Intend your inner Light to shine brightly at all times just like the Sun on a clear bright blue-sky day.

Following the reading of an article recently written by one of my favourite authors, astrologer Barbara Hand Clow, about the number of planets in Aries on the date above, the Arcturians, my long-term internal guidance, telepathically asked me to write my perspective on this alignment as it was needed by a hungry and thirsty world.

Aries is a fire sign – fire meaning the internal fire of spirit within all humans. Whatever energy is within the thoughts of the individual and collective mind is mirrored externally. Obviously, many minds had been focused on the dark – hence the new war in the Middle East initiated by the USA president. The war will cease when enough people focus on peace, harmony and balance (Libra – the opposing sign to Aries). Let’s focus our minds on individual and group prayers of peace by consciously developing feelings of peace, love and harmony within us and sending this light filled vibration to the group leaders who perpetuate the wars. They will receive our heart-felt vibration. Have compassion for them for they know not what they are creating for their soul’s future. Ask your group leaders to focus on this meditation so that, as a collective voice, the love vibration is felt by all warring leaders.

Bear in mind that the feeling vibration of sincere heart-felt love heals all.

When utilised consciously by the individual, the Neptune in Aries energy in it’s highest expression, emerges from the foggy mind as spiritualised fire and the desire to follow the divine plan and purpose for incarnation. This Plan as I believe it to be – is for each human being to develop an illumined mind and a heart filled with Divine Love. We have within us the free will to use our fire of spirit in whatever way we choose. We can unconsciously allow our suppressed Aries rage, anger, frustrations, extreme selfishness and impulsive thoughtlessness to take over our lives to our eventual detriment; or through developing an observer perspective to our thoughts and emotions, choose to initiate new action to heal self from old separation from love wounds. When healed the resultant love vibration leads to the creation of new projects for the greater good of humanity and our planet. Neptune began his Aries journey into our deeper emotional waters, stirring up our internal sand and mud on 31st March 2025. Within this sand and mud is a treasure chest containing your unique gifts and talent. It’s wise to access it and open the lid. You never know, a genie might pop out!

Saturn when using the Aries energy consciously in its most positive expression, can take the sure-footed steps to develop a solid foundation for a project based on love and care for humanity. Saturn in Aries can be the initiator of a totally new education or health system that will have a long-term positive effect on people’s lives.

Chiron, the archetypal centaur and wounded healer, began his initiation into Aries on March 2019. COVID rocked the world. Have we recovered? Have we changed our game of life for the better or do we still allow old fears and psychological wounds to haunt and rule us? Chiron moves into the sign of Taurus in May 2027. A new global theme will emerge at that time related to the Taurus archetype.

Is your Aries fire up and strongly ignited? Prepare for the next level to emerge at the above timing. As a preparation for this cosmic cook-up, it would be wise to commit to taking the appropriate action needed to access and alchemise old shadow psychology (wounding) that has blocked progressive forward movement and the associated inability to instigate your soul’s desire.

On April 10th the fire heats up! Fiery Mars enters the sign of Aries: Activation time. Mars is the trigger. Maybe Mars will wait for Mercury and the Moon to enter Aries before full activation occurs? What could this activation be?

Maybe all warring factions around the globe will realise the futility of war? A new step forward towards the implementation of a new world order based on peace is possible. A day-dream? No – not if enough people get on board the consciousness train and choose to develop peace, love and compassion within themselves. How can there be peace in our world when human minds are filled with negative thoughts? Human minds begin wars. Human minds can stop them.

In astrology the signs of the zodiac are said to rule certain parts of the body. I have found this to be true. I’ve healed myself by sourcing the psychological blockages to the light in my cells by observing and acknowledging each shadow as it arises, thanking it for sharing its teaching and loving it to death. Aries rules the head. Just think of the Aries Ram butting his two horns against a brick wall. Accidents to the head and the brain are more likely when we suppress our internal fire and ignore our soul’s desire. The suppressed energy of frustration has to go somewhere. It’s best to observe our life games with detachment and curiosity rather than judgement and take positive and light appropriate action accordingly.

The line-up of planets in Aries won’t go away. It Is. We can accept ‘what is’ and learn to work with these energies or have the energies work us.

I cast a chart for this planetary alignment choosing the time of 6.00am on 17th April at Brisbane. It’s an incredibly interesting chart. Within the outer circle the shape the planets form is referred to as a train. Let’s call it a consciousness train. What planet is driving it? Uranus and Sedna! Uranus is the ruling planet of the Aquarian Age. Uranus rules the light of higher consciousness. This is a bigger Cosmic Cook-Up than I originally realised! Uranus brings sudden and unexpected change that can shatter the old – it can create havoc so that a break-through into greater light is possible. The development of higher conscious is the name of his game. Sedna requires surrender of all that no longer serves our journey to the Light. These two cosmic train drivers are leading us to a train station we create for ourselves.
Will you choose to embrace the new world of emerging Light and all it entails? Or remain stagnant in the old?

Remember, we have masses of invisible supporters eager to assist our journey to the Light of higher consciousness. We can tune into their loving vibration during quiet and peaceful meditative times should we take the time to do so. It would be wise to do so.

It is my heart felt desire you choose to embrace the divine love and soul light within you and allow it to guide your way home.

Happy Easter holidays,
With love and many blessings,
Ashtara
