Practicality vs. Creativity

Hope you got some time to rest last week and maybe even figure out what’s important to you.  There are two sign changes this week, so the energy is shifting.

Mars enters the sign of Virgo on July 10 at 7:40 am.  The planet of action is entering the sign of perfectionism, industriousness, diligence, and practicality.  You may be finding it challenging to get things done while Mars is in the sign of Virgo, you may have to double and check everything to make sure that it is just right.  It could also keep you from being impulsive with your actions and make sure this next step is one that you want to take.

Also on July 10 at 4:48 pm., Mercury in Cancer Opposes Pluto in Capricorn.  The ideas coming to fruition might have to take a backburner to whether or not they are structurally sound.  That’s ok, write those ideas down anyways you may come up with a solution at a later time.

Mercury enters the sign of Leo a few hours later on July 11 at 12:11 am.  Your thoughts might be more creative or you may feel more confident while Mercury is in the sign of Leo. Harness the power of the sun and let it help guide your thoughts to be more optimistic and fun.

The Sun in Cancer Squares Chiron in Aries on July 12 at 8:06 am.  Get out of your head and get in touch with your emotions.  Your emotions are trying to tell you something, but you’re spending so much time trying to be right or striving for the next thing that you might be losing something important in the process.  Dig down.  Cry if you need to.  Crying is a great way to release pent-up energy and expel it from your body. 

Which is it for you?  Practicality or creativity?  Maybe even a little of both.  Let me know.  Do you want to know more, click here to book a discovery session or an appointment?

Revisiting the Past

What did your heart teach you last week?  Those lessons will come in handy as you experience some intense energies this week.  Two planets change signs and one planet stations to go retrograde.  Let’s get ready to revisit the past.

On March 23 Pluto entered the sign of Aquarius.  The energy began to shift and change and Pluto began to transform a new area of your life.  On May 1, Pluto was stationed to go retrograde and has been working its way back into Capricorn, which it will re-enter on June 11 at 5:47 am.  Pluto will have this dance between Capricorn and Aquarius well into 2024, November to be exact.  You may be longing for Pluto’s impact upon one area of your life to be over.  Pluto transits can be some of the longest and most challenging, but once it’s done your life will be forever different and it could be for the better.

Mercury enters the sign of Gemini on June 11 at 6;27 am.  Mercury loves being in the sign of Gemini.  It’s time to be curious and social.  Also, keep in mind that Gemini is the sign of duality and there are two sides to every story.   Things can also happen in sets of twos. June 11 is a big day and there’s one more major transit for the day when Venus in Leo Squares Jupiter in Taurus at 11;40 am.  Venus just wants to have a little fun, but Jupiter is ready to grow something.  Try to find a way to be in the moment on the 11th if possible.  With all of this big energy, it can be easy to get wound up and emotional.  Being aware of the energy is half the battle.

Mercury in Gemini will Square Saturn in Pisces on June 15 at 12:09 pm.  You may have some difficulty deciding if you want to be social or just be left alone to your own devices and stay home.  Whatever you decide, it’s ok.  Just go with the flow.

Saturn stations to go retrograde on June 17 at 1:27 pm.  Saturn is getting ready to revisit some of the issues that have been rising to the surface since Saturn entered Pisces on March 7.  Revisiting the past isn’t always easy, but there is a reason in this case.  There’s something that needs to be looked at differently.  You’re being given the opportunity.  Will you take it?

The Energy Shifts

This week another planet goes retrograde and there’s another Eclipse. You will feel the energy shift and it’s trying to send you in a new direction.  What you do with the shift and the direction it sends you is up to you.

Pluto stations to go retrograde in the sign of Aquarius on May 1 at 1:09 pm.  Pluto will be retrograde until October 10 and will retrograde back into the sign of Capricorn in June.  It’s going to be time to re-examine the darkness of Pluto.  Are there still shadows that you need to look at.  You have a couple of opportunities to look at what you’ve been working on since 2008.  Look at the world since 2008, so much has changed.  Has it changed for the better?  Depends on how you look at it, but I think most would agree that the dark side of people has been exposed.  There’s no going back and hiding under a rock, but there is the option to do the work and see if the world can be a little bit better.  The work is never easy, but it’s the only way to truly grow as a person and as a community.  Which path do you want to take?

The Sun in Taurus conjuncts Mercury in Taurus on May 1 at 7:28 pm.  What do you value?  The sun and Mercury are shining a light on those things that you value.  Is what you value, how you spend the majority of your time?  If it isn’t, do you need to make some changes to either your values or how you spend your time?  The choice is yours.

Venus in Gemini will square Neptune in Pisces on May 4 at 1:40 pm.  Venus is looking to have a conversation about your spiritual side.  Are you looking to engage in that conversation or are you looking to avoid it altogether?

The Lunar Full Moon Eclipse in Taurus and Scorpio is on May 5 at 1:34 pm.  This is the last eclipse in the Taurus-Scorpio access and then the nodal access will shift this summer.  This is the end point for something that began about 18 months ago.  A chapter is ending.  How you respond to the end of this chapter is up to you.  The end could be big or it could be small, it depends on you.  Have you done the work or have you been insisting that nothing is wrong? 

Remember to take some time for yourself this week.  Do something fun or relaxing.  When the energy shifts are big it can be challenging to get a good night’s rest.  Do your best and remember to be kind.  Everyone else is experiencing the same energy as you, but in maybe a slightly different way.  The world could use a little more kindness.

Are you Exhausted?

Have you just been feeling exhausted lately?  You have nothing left to give even though you have so much to do.  You’re not alone.   Unfortunately, the energy this week will leave you feeling the same way.  Exhausted, stressed and confused.  Like all things in life, this is just a chapter, and it too will be coming to a close, but first boundaries are important.

This week’s energy includes a lot of Pisces energy.  This can be a great time for creativity, but it can also make you want to escape from reality.  The world is a confusing place and you just want it to stay the same.  You want to know what’s going on.  You will, but not quite yet.
 
Mars in Gemini will square Neptune in Pisces on March 14 at 7;39 pm.  Mars has been having some trouble getting traction and is still having to do things twice.  This square might get something moving, but it could be a challenge to want to get moving.  The next day, the Sun in Pisces conjuncts Neptune in Pisces at 7:39 pm.  This could be an opportunity to be creative and tap into your artistic side.
 
March 16 there’s a lot of energy, so it could be stressful and lead to your exhaustion.  Mercury in Pisces will conjunct Neptune in Pisces at 1:13 pm.  Be kind with your words.  Have compassion for your fellow humans.  People seem to be at their breaking point.  The Sun in Pisces will Square Mars in Gemini at 2:10 pm.  Mars just wants to go and get something done and may get frustrated.  Venus in Aries is Square Pluto in Capricorn at 3:59 pm.  Venus is checking in with Pluto one last time before its move into Aquarius on March 23.  Is there one last detail that you need to feel before the energy switches?  The day ends with Venus entering Taurus at 6;34 pm.  Venus will be moving into her ruling planets.  She feels at home in the safety, security, and beauty of Taurus. 
 
On March 17 at 12:49 am, Mercury in Pisces will Square Mars in Gemini.  Is there a conversation that needs to take place so that you can begin to move forward?
 
Here are some takeaways from this Gemini- Pisces energy.  Be curious.  Gemini loves to learn.  It can be challenging to do things multiple times, but know that each time will teach you something.  Pisces loves the mystical and spiritual aspects of life, but it also craves time alone.  Take some time to rest this week.  Get plenty of sleep.  Your body needs the rest, take it.  There’s nothing wrong with taking some time for yourself.

Running In Idle

Mars stationed direct last week, so why am I still in limbo?  Mercury and Uranus are still retrograde and clarifying the situation, but things will move a little bit more when Mercury in Capricorn stations to go direct on January 18 at 8:12 am.
 
How has this Mercury retrograde been for you?  Have you been getting little fixes and clarifications or are you getting some major downloads?  That depends on you and whether you’ve been doing the work.  Pluto is nearing the end of its stay in Capricorn and is having its last communications with Mercury before it signs off.  Have you been adjusting your structures?   Are there any additional changes that need to be made?  Pluto wants to know.  The Sun in Capricorn is checking in one last time with Pluto in Capricorn on January 18 at 9:44 am.  Pay attention to the necessary changes this week.  Uranus will station direct on January 22 and then there will be no retrograde planets.  It’s almost time!
 
The Sun will enter Aquarius on January 20 at 3:30 am.  It’s time to start thinking ahead and become more intellectual and logical about your plans. 
 
Sometimes in order to go forwards you have to look back.  It’s something that you’d probably prefer to not have to do and a lot of self-help gurus will tell you to avoid it and just have a positive mindset, but the truth is that you have to dig through the muck to find a diamond.  It doesn’t just appear.  Pluto transits are some of the most challenging transits that you will face, but you’re meant to walk away with something at the end.  Over the next few months, you will begin to see what Pluto in Capricorn has taught you about yourself.  There will be an adjustment period when Pluto retrogrades (May 1 to October 10), but you’re nearing the end of the finish line in some area of your life.  What do you still need to do?  This is the time to get clarity and plan for those edits.  Waiting doesn’t always make it better, it can sometimes be harder.  Just rip off the band-aid and see what happens.
 
What structures has Pluto been making adjustments to?  Let me know.  Do you want to know more, click here to book a discovery session or an appointment?

New Year, New You

Wow!  It’s another year already.  Time seems to fly sometimes.  There have been lots of changes over the last few years and 2023 will be no exception.  You had some time last week to reflect on the past year.  Now, what do you want to do with that information?  If you aren’t already making changes, are you ready to make them now?
 
The first transit of 2023 starts just after midnight at 12:25 am, when Venus in Capricorn conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn.  Pluto in Capricorn has been changing our lives' structures since 2009 and is getting ready to move into the sign of Aquarius in a few months.  Venus is checking in one more time.  Does she have anything to contribute to making your structure more beautiful?
 
On January 2 at 11:02 am, the Sun in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries.  Are you ready to take action on changing the structure of your wounds from the past?  It’s never easy to address your wounds, but it is essential to your capacity to grow.  To truly become empowered, you have to go back and address the underbelly of your life.  It’s easier to just keep going.  You think it will just go away if you ignore it, but has it truly gone away?  If you’re honest with yourself, it’s still there, isn’t it?  Your biggest fears are still there waiting for you to address them.  Maybe it’s time to look at them differently.
 
Also on January 2 at 9:09 pm, Venus enters the sign of Aquarius.  Venus wants to explore the collective and examine it in a different way.  Can your life be beautiful in a different way than it was before?  Can you look at it from a new perspective and see the whole picture?  What’s the end result that you’re striving for?
 
The Sun in Capricorn is also revisiting a previous conversation with Mercury when it conjuncts it again on January 7 at 7:57 am.  What were you thinking about in early to mid-December?  That conversation is going to be revisited
 
Each year has new energy and this one is no exception.  You’re another year and another year wiser, but who are you?  If you don’t already know, maybe this is the year to start that exploration.

Reflection

I hope you have a great holiday season!  The universe is giving you the gift of reflection this week.  The ability to reflect on the year that has been 2022 and what you hope to be in 2023.
 
Mercury goes retrograde in the sign of Capricorn on December 29 at 4:32 am and is in retrograde through January 18.  You may already be feeling the impact of Mercury stationing going retrograde.  It tends to start having an effect a couple of weeks before it’s the official station.  Shortly after Mercury stations retrograde it has a meeting (conjunction) with Venus in Capricorn at 8:58 am.  These are the only two planetary meetings this week, everything else is based on the moon which changes every 2 or so days.
 
As we close out the year 2022, Mercury, Mars, and Uranus will still be retrograde.  These planets are emphasizing the need for reflection as the year closes out.  The sign of Capricorn has provided you with many structural changes in your life over the last few years and Pluto is nearing the end of its cycle through the sign of Capricorn, which will start the shift into Aquarius in 2023.  What have you built since 2009?  Is it structurally sound or does it still need some changes?
 
As humans, we have a tendency to spend a lot of time in the past and the future and not as much time as we should in the present moment, but in this case, the universe wants you to look back and remember.  Look at where you were and how far you’ve come.  Looking back may sometimes be painful, but it doesn’t have to be.  It could be an opportunity to remember where you’ve come from and who you are.  You’re not the same person that you were at the start of 2022.  You change, you move on.  It’s easy to think of change as a bad thing, but it doesn’t have to be, it can just be change.  Life would be boring if it was the same thing every day. 
 
You were sent here to learn.  Winston Churchill paraphrased that those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.  Don’t be one of those people.  Take this week and look back on your history and be ready to move into 2023 with a clean slate.

Impulsivity vs. Patience

There will be two sign changes this week, which will demonstrate the tension between acting impulsively and having the patience to gather information before leaping to conclusions.
 
Jupiter will re-enter the sign of Aries on December 20 at 9:32 am.  Aries is the sign of spontaneity, idealism, directness, and independence.  The Sun will enter Capricorn on December 21 at 4:48 pm.  Capricorn is the sign of patience, realism, practicality, and efficiency.  The Sun in Capricorn will then Square Jupiter in Aries a couple of hours later at 7:50 pm creating tension between the two signs.
 
Which energy do you need to rely on to get you what you want?  Both energies have their uses, but you can’t react both impulsively and patiently at the same time.  It’s just not possible, but the energy between the two could force you to react differently than you previously have. 
 
It’s the week leading up to Christmas.  If you enter a store, you will most likely see this energy in full swing.  Those people who are finishing up their shopping.  They have just a few more items left to get and then they can enjoy the holidays vs. those people who haven’t started yet.  The people who haven’t started yet may be looking for whatever item they can find on the shelves.
 
As an adult, I don’t tend to act impulsively often and in terms of Christmas shopping, I plot and plan. I’m normally done shopping right around Thanksgiving.  Now I will mention that I don’t have as many items to purchase as some other people.  My father has improved a lot over the years, but growing up he had one person to buy for, my mom.  So on Christmas Eve, I would climb in the car and we would go to Bradlee’s and see what we could find that my mother might want.  Not an ideal situation, but it's one with which many of you are probably familiar.  The energy was always crazy in the stores on Christmas Eve.  The energy was the same way in the grocery store when I worked there as a teenager.  People race around to get every last item that they need before the stores close. 
 
This is the energy that you’re going to see all around you.  Those people who are thinking methodically.  What steps do they need to take to achieve the desired result?  And those people who are just grabbing whatever they can find.

The Struggle

You’ve been wanting to make a choice or go in a new direction, but you just don’t seem to be able to move forward.  That’s the struggle this week.  I want to do this, but I’m not sure.
 
The week kicks off with Venus in Sagittarius squaring Neptune in Pisces on December 4 at 2:12 am, and then a couple of days later on December 6 at 2:05 am, Mercury in Sagittarius squares Jupiter in Pisces.  Neptune stationed to go direct on December 3, so you’re still feeling the effects of that planetary station.  The fog that Neptune can create is trying to clear, but it’s just not quite ready.  Mercury and Venus are still trying to make decisions.  The Sun in Sagittarius will oppose Mars in Gemini on December 8 at 12:42 am.  Remember Mars is still retrograde until January, so it’s not quite ready to take action, and Gemini is an air sign.  There are things to think about first. 
 
Venus in Sagittarius will then square Jupiter in Pisces on December 9 at 7:55 am.  Jupiter is going to expand the energy and make the choice bigger.  Can you see what you need to do now?  If not, it’s ok.  You may not be ready yet.
 
There are two sign changes this week.  Mercury enters Capricorn on December 6 at 5:08 pm and Venus enters Capricorn on December 9 at 10:54 pm.  The energy of Capricorn will bring some patience, practicality, and initiating energy to your environment.  What is the responsible thing to do will enter into the equation?
 
The making of possibly life-altering decisions is never easy.  The struggle of making that choice is quite real. It may seem at times like you’re the only one and that others just don’t understand.  Some people may not, but there are others that do.  Others have been there, made the big decision, and survived to tell the tale.  When you have to make this choice it can seem all-consuming, but when you finally allow yourself to make a choice, whether it’s good or bad, there can be a freedom that you’ve made the choice and are ready.  Be patient with yourself and know that when you are ready, you will make the choice.  The struggle will not have been in vain.

The Energy of Conflict

Conflict is never easy, whether it’s within yourself or with those around you.  But conflict is how you grow.  It wants you to decide.
 
This week the Sun and Venus are both in Libra and are having conversations with Pluto in Capricorn before they report to each other what they’ve learned.
 
The Sun in Libra Squares Pluto in Capricorn on October 19 at 9:33 am.  Not even a day later on October 20 at 2:03 am, Venus in Libra Squares Pluto in Capricorn.  Finally, the Sun and Venus in Libra meet up on October 22 at 5:17 am with a report.
 
The Sun in Libra wants to illuminate a situation, Venus wants to relate and make it better, and Pluto in Capricorn is demonstrating how the structure of your life can empower or transform your life.
 
What is holding you back from making a change?  Fear is normally a part of it, but that isn’t the entire story.  What is stopping you from moving ahead?  Some want to know the outcome to make certain that the correct decision is being made.  Some don’t want to disappoint or upset someone else.  Some know that the correct decision is a challenge and aren’t sure they’re up for it.  The only thing that you can do to stop fear is to go through it.  Try what scares you.  Growth is never easy.  Letting go isn’t easy.  But if you can find a way forward it can be rewarding and transform your life in ways that you’ve never imagined.
