Warrior Goddess

This week starts with a bang and ends with a whimper.  You may already be feeling the intense energies that are coming your way.  The first of 2 eclipses is on Monday and as normal with eclipses, you could be in for a wild ride.

The Lunar Eclipse on the Aries-Libra axis is the only aspect that I will discuss this week.  The rest of the aspects are lunar and technically a lunar eclipse is a lunar aspect as well, but this eclipse has significant meaning to it.  Part of the meaning will be dependent on where in your chart this eclipse happens.

The Lunar Eclipse occurs on March 25 at 3:00 am EST.  Because this Lunar Eclipse is on the Aries-Libra axis it is about power dynamics.  The power between yourself and the other significant relationships in your life.  It is the masculine energies vs the feminine energies.  It is the beginning and the end.  Libra energy is seeking balance in life, but this eclipse is more about the Aries energy.  It’s about the beginning and power.

We live in a male-dominant culture.  It wasn’t always this way, but that’s for another time.  I’m going to be a little political for a moment.  Societally we are being shown the effects of our male-dominant culture.  How is this culture working for you?  Let’s focus exclusively on women though.  Women have been expected to cater to the needs of men to the point where women weren’t even allowed to vote until 1920 and women couldn’t have a credit card until the early 1970s.  Women seemed to be on a trajectory where we were gaining rights and in 2016, the United States almost had a female president and leader.  But patriarchy did not go quietly into that good night.  Instead, another man entered the White House, and not just any man, but a man with an agenda.  He is exposing the underbelly of the patriarchy.  Since 2016, women seem to be losing ground.  Women have lost the right in some states to have a say over whether they want an abortion and our own right to make our own healthcare decisions could be next. 

Aries is all about power and the warrior.  This is the time for women to step up and be noticed.  I know it’s not easy.  I have hidden any number of times and occasionally need the push to get out of my own way.  Think about the power dynamics in your own life.  Does one person have all the power or is it a balance between two people or a group of people?  Look closely at these relationships.  Do you want to stay, or do you want to go?  Free yourself from what is no longer serving you and start the process of beginning again.  I understand that it’s terrifying to start from scratch, but something that has helped me to make decisions is what do I have left to lose.  Most of the time what I have feared has already come true if I’m being honest with myself.

This eclipse has the power to make dynamic changes in your life if you’re willing to step up and take a risk.  Step into your power.  The world needs us to step up and reclaim our feminine energy.   The world needs some warrior goddesses to point the way into a new era.

Open Your Heart to Love

The eclipses have passed and they revealed something to you.  What was that something?  What steps do you need to take?  This week there will be two planetary sign changes and two aspects that may help you to move forward.

Venus enters the sign of Libra on November 8 at 4:30 am.  Venus loves to be in the sign of Libra.  It’s the sign of relationships and partnerships; balance and harmony; helpful and fair-minded.  It’s time to tap into these elements of Libra.  Be kind to people that you meet on the street.  You never know what they’re going through.  It can be easy to close yourself off to love when you’ve felt pain.  This is a time to learn to open yourself up.  Feel the emotions that are coming through.  If you cut yourself off from the bad, you also cut yourself off from the good.  Open yourself up and be receptive.  If you need to take a minute, take one, but don’t shut down.

Mercury enters the sign of Sagittarius on November 10 at 1:25 am.  It’s a time of being open, frank, and maybe even outspoken.  You are free to change your mind and maybe even have a little optimism.  It’s really easy to get set in your ways.  To only think about the items on your to-do list and not worry about the broader picture.  Take a more philosophical approach to thinking.  It could just broaden your horizon and create something new.

Mercury in Sagittarius Squares Saturn in Pisces on November 10 at 10:07 am just a few hours after changing signs.  It may be time to reach into the more sentimental part of you and say it aloud.  Be true and honest about what you’re feeling.

Mars in Scorpio Opposes Uranus in Taurus on November 11 at 4:11 pm.  The planet of action is in conflict with the planet of awakenings.  You may be more accident-prone during this transit, but it also has the potential to bring something good, you have to be willing to do things differently than you have in the past.  Scorpio and Taurus are both fixed signs and not in favor of changing their routine, but would it hurt to change something just a little bit?

Take A Break

It’s eclipse season and the energy is high.  You may be feeling it.  Even though this week is part of the eclipse portal energy, there aren’t a lot of non-lunar aspects, so it’s time to take some time for yourself.

The Sun in Libra is Conjunct Mercury in Libra on October 20 at 1:38 am.  You’re striving for fair and balanced communication, but it may not happen quite the way you expect.  The other person in your communication may still want to be right as opposed to moving forward,  It could be time to take a different approach.

The Sun in Libra Squares Pluto in Capricorn on October 21 at 10:09 am.  Pluto in Capricorn is wrapping something up that it has been working on since 2009 in your life.  This is one of the last squares the Sun will have before Pluto moves into Aquarius in January 2024.  What do you still need to work on to close out this chapter?  What haven’t you accomplished yet?  Or maybe you just need a time-out to get clear on the next steps.  There are times when only you know what works for you.

When the energy is intense, taking time to yourself is important.  There’s a tendency to want to just do and you can burn yourself out.  Make sure to take a break this week.  Do something for yourself.  It could be as simple as just reading a book for fun.  You will have more energy to give once you’ve refueled yourself.

What are you going to do for fun?    Let me know.  Do you want to know more, click here to book a discovery session or an appointment?

Turn Up The Volume

Have you been sitting around waiting for things to happen?  That probably won’t change this week, as most of the outer planets are retrograde, but due to the number of aspects and planetary changes this week, there will be more noise.  What do you want to be different when the time is right?

Mars in Libra will square Pluto in Capricorn on October 8 at 9:05 pm.  You want to come to a resolution.  You may even want the resolution to be fair, but when Pluto is involved it’s rarely fair.  Something has shifted and changed.  It’s time to decide if you can accept it or if it’s time to move on.

Venus enters Virgo on October 8 at 9:11 pm.  Venus has been in the sign of Leo since June, asking us to get in touch with our hearts.  Now she’s moving on to how you can serve.  Venus will be restless and analytical while in the sign of Virgo, which isn’t something that she thrives on.  She wants it to make sense, but the heart doesn’t always make sense.  Try not to be too critical of yourself and others as it may just bog you down and keep you in place.

Venus in Virgo is Opposite Saturn on Pisces on October 9 at 2:11 am.  Venus in Virgo wants to make things better, but Saturn in Pisces is trying to dissolve the structures that are already there.  Who will win?  It’s hard to tell at this point.  Just allow it to play out.  There’s more to the story that will be revealed at a later time.

Pluto stations to go direct on October 10 at 9:10 pm.  The first of the outer planets will come out of its retrograde motion.  It will take some time for Pluto to get back in the swing of things.  It’s been reflecting back on it’s time in Capricorn.  Have you made all of the adjustments that Pluto wants you to make?  If not, there may be some changes coming, just not yet. 

The Sun in Libra Opposes Chiron in Aries on October 11 at 2:21 am.  How are your past wounds impacting your present?  The Sun is shining a light on these past wounds.  It’s time for you to find peace in what they have to tell you.  The wounds are ready to go, but you must be willing to let them go.

Mars enters Scorpio on October 12 at 12:04 am.  Mars is grateful to be leaving behind the sign of Libra and entering into a sign that he loves.  He is ready to take action, but the rest of the players aren’t in place quite yet.  You should notice that you have more energy though and are ready to tackle some of the small items on your to-do list.

Mercury in Libra Opposes Chiron in Aries on October 14 at 6:31 pm.  This will carry on the conversation you had a few days ago about letting go of your wounds.  This will happen just after the eclipse at 1:55 pm, which will make this conversation more important.  What do you need to know so that you can find balance and become a better you?

What does all of the noise have to tell you this week?    Let me know.  Do you want to know more, click here to book a discovery session or an appointment?

Right to Balance

How has the need to be right impacted your life?  Have you felt the need to be right or have you noticed it from the people around you?  A shift will begin this week when Mercury changes signs later in the week.

But first Mercury in Virgo will Oppose Neptune in Pisces on October 2 at 11:34 am.  Communication could be confusing or unclear.  There’s the need to be precise but it’s just not happening.  Try not to get too frustrated.  This too shall pass.

Mercury enters the sign of Libra on October 4 at 8:09 am.  The need to be right should start to ease.  Instead, you will begin to search for thinking that is fair and balanced.  You may want peace and diplomacy.  Look for a resolution that may have been keeping you from moving forward.  There is a way, sometimes you need to examine the other side.

Can you move beyond the need to be right?    Let me know.  Do you want to know more, click here to book a discovery session or an appointment?

No Middle Ground

It’s officially Libra season and fall here in the Northern Hemisphere.  Libra is all about compromise and balance, but there seems to be very little willingness to compromise this week.  This week people would rather be right than move forward.

Mars in Libra Opposes Chiron in Aries on September 24 at 4:06 pm.  Mars wants to act even if it's not perfect or ready just to move forward, but Chiron in Aries either wants it to be right or has to be right before it can even consider moving forward.  Compromise would be a great option if both sides are willing to give a little, but that might not be in the cards.  The other option is to put it on the back burner and move on to something else until an agreement can be made.

Venus in Leo Squares Uranus in Taurus on September 29 at 1:53 pm.  This is the 3rd and final pass of something that you’ve already visited around July 2 and July 23.  Have you been connecting to what you truly want in your heart?  Have you been putting in the work and the effort to grow and become a better person?  If you have, great!  If you haven’t, you may be in for a shakeup.  Things can’t stay the way they are, and the universe is ready to begin implementing its plan.

Mood Volatility

Last week you received some clarity about a situation in your life.  Hold on to that clarity because as Mercury starts to move out of its station you have the potential to swing between clarity and confusion.  Feelings can change in an instant.  Keep faith that all will be okay.

Venus in Leo Squares Jupiter in Taurus on September 17 at 2:10 am.  This is Venus and Jupiter’s third and final square of the year.  The first was in the beginning of June and the second was in late August.  What is the path your heart wants you to take?  There may have been roadblocks put in your way, but ultimately do you know what you want?  There may be a conflict between what you want and what you’re willing to commit to.  Venus and Jupiter want to find an alignment between the two.

The Sun in Virgo Opposes Neptune in Pisces on September 19 at 7:17 am. You may be confused again.  Things don’t seem as clear as they did.  Feelings are getting in the way.  This is all temporary.  Things may not be as they seem.   Remember what is real.  If it seems too good to be true, it may be.  Look things up and see if there is more to the story.

The Sun enters Libra on September 23 at 2:50 am.  It’s time to look for some balance.  Socialize.  Have fun with friends.  The Sun wants to spend time with others.  Focus on your relationships, but also find time for yourself.  Don’t give all of your energy away to those around you.

Break Free

After the energies of the last few weeks, you may just want a break, but it’s not quite over yet.  Are you ready to start letting go of what’s keeping you stuck in place?  Something has shifted in your life in the last few weeks.  Are you ready to let it dissolve and move forward?

The Sun in Virgo Opposes Saturn in Pisces on August 27 at 4:28 am.  The Sun and Saturn are conversing about how to shift an area of your life.  Saturn in Pisces is ready for it to dissolve, but the Sun in Virgo is holding on.  It wants to perfect and improve it, but is that possible?  Can it be resolved or is it time to start over?  It may be time to start fresh.

Mars enters the sign of Libra on August 27 at 9:20 am.  It’s time to take action on the relationships in your life.  Mars would rather think about only itself, but there’s another person that’s involved.  That person’s thoughts and feelings need to be taken into account before forward progress can be made.  Or maybe there’s another part of you that needs to be considered.  Either way, a balanced approach is the path forward for the moment.

Uranus stations retrograde on August 28 at 10:39 pm.  Uranus in Taurus has been making changes, but it’s time to look inward.  Uranus is the planet of revolution and sudden awakenings.  Uranus is tired of the status quo and wants things to be different.  Taurus wants things to remain the same.  Since 2019 Uranus has been in Taurus shaking up an area of your life.  When it finally leaves Taurus in 2026, things won’t be the same, no matter how much you try.  Uranus stationing retrograde is an opportunity to break free of the ties that keep you bound.  You can be free from what’s keeping you stuck and take a different route.  Just give it a try.

Challenges vs. Gifts

Sometimes life is more challenging than others.  This week is dependent on your viewpoint.  There are a couple of oppositions between the planets in Aries and the planets in Libra.  This is a tug-of-war energy.  Which viewpoint will win?  The need to be impulsive or the need to think things through.
 
The week starts off with Venus in Libra Opposite Chiron in Aries on October 10 at 9:15 am.  Venus is how you love and Chiron is your deepest wounds and how you can heal them.  Do you have wounds around love to heal?  Everyone does.  It’s more a matter of how deep they run than if you have one.  Do you allow these wounds to control how you love, or is it a chance?  You were sent here to heal these areas of your life, it is your choice if you take the leap and work on it or if you continue to let it lead you around. 
 
This Mercury retrograde has shown you where you are going next.  Mercury will enter back into the sign of Libra on October 10 at 7:51 p.m.  Have you been implementing what you learned?  Mercury is ready.  Mercury is trying to find the balance between the old and the new, the challenge and gift.  Sometimes with Mercury, it's just a matter of how you think about it.  Mercury will have its first aspect back in the sign of Libra, on October 12 at 3:24 am when it opposes Jupiter in Aries.  Jupiter is going to expand the thoughts that you’ve been having, just in case you haven’t been clear.  Planets when they’re in Libra, can often second guess themselves, and make it difficult to make a choice.  Jupiter wants to make it easier for you to see where the problem lies, so you have a harder time staying put. 
 
Also on October 12 at 1:46 am, Mars in Gemini is squaring Neptune in Pisces.  There’s a tension between remaining in the illusion of Neptune in Pisces and seeing the duality of Mars in Gemini.  Have you noticed having to take action twice?  With Gemini placements, this is a common theme.  Once you act and then you have to act again, either because there was an error or it just didn’t go quite according to plan.
 
It’s important to remember that life is all about how we view it.  Do you let the challenges knock you down or get back up?  Can you see the gift in the hard times?  It’s rarely easy to see the gift at the moment, but it’s always there lurking in the background.  Diamonds don’t start out that way.  They are carbon deposits that are subject to high pressure and heat and begin to change form.  Just in case you ever need a reminder, you can be a diamond.  It’s just a matter of viewpoint,

Helping Hand

The world can change overnight.  You may think you know your life's direction and then something happens.  Something that you knew might happen but didn’t see coming.  It’s always nice in those moments to have someone beside you holding your hand.
 
The Venusian energy of Libra is being felt.  Even though Mercury has retrograded back into the sign of Virgo, Venus herself is moving into the sign of Libra on September 29 at 3:49 am.  The Sun in Libra and Venus in Libra are also making their presence known in Opposition to Jupiter in Aries.  The Sun Opposes Jupiter in Aries on September 26 at 3:33 pm and Venus in Libra Opposes Jupiter in Aries on October 1 at 2:12 pm. 
 
What is important?  Is it the relationship to others or to the self?  You can’t do it all alone.  For some, it may seem like it’s all about the self.  Aries is the I AM.  Who are you?  But Libra is the other.  You cannot exist in life as a solitary being.  Sometimes you have to reach out.  This is one of those times.  Whether it’s to ask for yourself or to give help to others, or both.  Life means more with relationships in it. Who do you want to be?  How do you want to be known?  With these oppositions, we’re being nudged to remember the boundary between the two.  You can help others without giving up who you are.  You can be yourself without having to separate yourself from the world. 
 
When you have the opportunity, it’s important to lend a hand.  The world needs more kindness.  Each one of us needs a little help now and then.  Accept it and give it when you can.
