Find the Positive

There has been so much going on, that at times it’s a challenge to just keep up.  There’s only one non-lunar aspect, this week, but it will be important to take the time to process your thoughts before speaking and try to find a positive way to respond.

Mercury in Virgo Opposes Saturn in Pisces on August 1 at 10:18 pm.  This can be a time of poor communication skills, frustration, and sadness.  There may also be the possibility of misinterpreting what you hear or being too critical of others.  It’s easy to jump to conclusions, but it’s important to take the time and listen.  Finding the positive in a bad situation can be tricky and could take some time.

Take some time to respond this week.  Find a way to be kind in your responses.  Being mean doesn’t normally get you what you want.  You may have to explore your own past and come to terms with your part in a situation.  It’s easy to lash out at others and blame them for your problems, but if you can examine the situation, you may be able to learn something important and get to a better place. 

It would have been easier for me to blame my getting fired completely on my prior employer and say it was all their fault, but the truth is that I was no longer happy there.  I had reached the end of that path and was ready to start a new one, but I was stuck in my old way of thinking.  I couldn’t see it.  The universe helped me to close out that chapter of my life and open up a new one.  This isn’t to say that I didn’t go through a range of emotions as I processed the event, believe me, I did, but within a few weeks, I was able to see the positives.  Look for the positives and it can help to change your thinking.

What’s your re?

It’s summertime and with the signs of Mercury and Venus being in the Leo and the Sun about to join them it should be a time of fun, but Venus is about to go retrograde, what could that look like for you?

Mercury in Leo Squares Jupiter in Taurus on July 17 at 8:49 am.  Fun and creativity meet growth.  Jupiter is here to remind you that it’s not all fun and games and it’s time to get moving and meet your goals.

On July 20 at 4:39 pm, Mars in Virgo Opposes Saturn in Pisces.  Saturn in Pisces is trying to dissolve something in your life that isn’t working and Mars in Virgo might just be working to put that same thing into place.  Make sure it’s something that you really want before you put a lot of time and effort into it. 

The Sun in Cancer Opposes Pluto in Capricorn on July 21 at 11:53 pm.  Since 2008, Pluto in Capricorn has been transforming an area of your life.  Pluto is back to make sure that things are going the way they should.  The Sun in Cancer is checking to see how you feel about this.  Do you have the support that you need?  It’s ok to be nostalgic and wish for the old times, but sometimes you have to accept that the old days aren’t coming back and it’s time to move on.

On July 22 at 9:33 pm, Venus stations retrograde.  Venus is going to be retrograde until September 3.  This could be a great time to examine what you love.  Does it bring you joy?  Is your heart in it?  All of these are good questions to revisit while Venus is in retrograde. A few hours later at 9;50 pm, the Sun enters Leo.  The Sun wants to have fun and be inspired but could get stuck on the dramatic and the personal issues.  Be confident and optimistic.  Things will turn out how they’re supposed to, but not always how you expect them to.

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?

Take Time to Rest

After the intensity of the last few weeks, it’s time for a little bit of breathing room.  There are mainly lunar aspects in the sky and only one planetary aspect.

The Sun in Gemini Squares Saturn in Pisces on May 28 at 6:46 am.  The need to learn and be intellectual is at odds with your need to dream and drift.  If you can take time to try both.  No matter how much you may like to learn, there comes a time when you just need to take a break.  You may start to get a headache or an opportunity will come up to do something fun.  Take time to relax, you can always accomplish tasks another day.

Here in the United States, it’s Memorial Day weekend.  It’s a time to honor those that have died in service to our country and to remember those that we’ve lost.  So many of us have it as a long weekend and take it as an opportunity to get one more project done.  Take some time to reflect on where you’ve come from.  Sometimes it's so easy just to do more and more and you can forget to rest.  Rest is so important and can even give you more energy to do the things you love.  Take some time for yourself this week and allow yourself to dream and reflect.  Goals can be accomplished another day.

Take A Chance

Aries season can be one of impulsivity, but that might now always be a bad thing.  When the Sun conjuncts Jupiter this week, it could just work to your advantage.

Venus this week enters the sign of Gemini on April 11 at 12:47 am.  Venus is going to enjoy talking things out and writing.  You may want to be more social than usual and ask lots of questions.  However, Gemini is also the sign of duality, so remember there could be another side to things or they could come in twos.
 
The Sun in Aries also conjuncts Jupiter in Aries on April 11 at 6:07 pm.  Jupiter expands whatever the Sun is shining a light on.  This may be a time to try something new or act in a way that you might not normally do.  Take a chance this week.  There is a tendency to think that by trying something new, the worst is always going to happen, but sometimes everything you want is on the other side of trying.  Don’t let fear hold you back.  Become a warrior and seek what you want.
 
Venus in Gemini will square Saturn in Pisces on April 14 at 12:38 pm.  Venus may feel a little restricted by Saturn.  She may not feel quite like herself or talk quite as much.  You feel stuck in your head and like you just feel adrift.  Remember it’s a transit and it’s temporary.
 
The energy has been challenging the last few weeks.  There is a kind of push-and-pull dynamic going on.  You may feel like you’re constantly taking two steps forward and one step back, but eventually, you will arrive at your destination.  Keep going and take chances.  Life is meant to be lived.

Spontaneity & Healing

The last dregs of February and the dawning of March are here.  What does that mean?  Big changes are coming, but first it's time for spontaneity and healing.

March 2 is going to be a big day.  It begins with a conjunction between Venus in Aries and Jupiter in Aries at 12:36 am. Like was talked about last week, Venus in Aries is impulsive and prefers an immediate response.  Jupiter will expand that energy and make it bigger.  It could be a big start to something new or you may have to reign in yourself or those around you to keep in check.
 
At 9;34 am, Mercury in Aquarius conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius.  Saturn is checking in with Mercury one last time before it moves into Pisces.  Is there something that needs to be said about your future?  Do you need to think a little bit more about your new plans before they go into place? 
 
Mercury enters the sign of Pisces at 5:52 pm.  It’s time for Mercury to get in touch with his intuitive side.  Look for your artistic or creative side to take over or maybe you need to feel what someone else is thinking.  These are areas where Mercury in Pisces thrives. 
 
On March 3 at 12:48 pm, Venus in Aries will conjunct Chiron in Aries.  Is there something about yourself that you need to heal in order to move forward in your plans?  This is a great time to use the Pisces energy to connect with your inner voice and the Aries energy to start something new.

Rose-Colored Glasses

The end of Aquarius season is drawing near and Pisces season is almost upon you.  It will be time to tap into the empathic, compassionate, and spiritual side of life.  The Sun will enter Pisces on February 18 at 5:34 p.m.

Although the Sun hasn’t entered Pisces yet, Venus and Neptune are both there and are meeting on February 15 at 7:25 am.  Venus loves hanging out in the sign of Pisces and can tap into her romantic side.  She can float away while dreaming and escaping and Neptune is right there with her.  Neptune will take the opportunity to escape, dream and imagine.  This is definitely a day where you are likely to see the world through rose-colored glasses, so it can be challenging if you’re searching for clarity.

The Sun in Aquarius will visit Saturn in Aquarius one last time on February 16 at 11:48 am before Saturn moves into Pisces on March 7.  This is an opportunity to check in and make sure that you’re on track before Saturn changes signs.  What have you been meant to learn while Saturn has been in Aquarius?  Are you ready to move on?  The answer as to what you’re supposed to learn is different for each person and is dependent on your own natal chart.  The sign of Aquarius can also hold a sense of idealism but can be used if you need some objectivity.
 
This is a time of ending patterns and wrapping up cycles, so use this week to your advantage.  Dream a little.  Try to find the best in the world, I know it can be challenging.  What contribution can you bring to make the world just a little bit better?

I Like To Move It

Are you ready?  It’s time to move forward on whatever you’ve been working on.  The last of the planets, Uranus, stations direct this week on January 22 at 5:59 pm.  For about the next 90 days, there will be no retrograde planets in the sky.  So, is something still holding you back from taking that step?
 
Uranus in Taurus has been demonstrating to you what is of value to you and it’s about to shift course.  It’s going to revisit the steps that you’ve been taking since late August.  How can that item or items in your life become something that is of value to you.? What do you value?  If you’re unsure it could all of a sudden become clear to you.
 
Also on January 22 at 5:13 pm, Venus in Aquarius conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius.  Venus is checking in with Saturn one last time for the next 30 years.  How are the rules stopping you from something that you love?  Is there a way around those limitations?  Do you need to get out of your head and speak from your heart?  Only you truly know the answers to these questions, but it may be time to stop second-guessing yourself and see where it leads.
 
Venus will enter the sign of Pisces on January 26 at 9:33 pm.  Venus is going to stop overthinking and start to feel.  This may be your chance to enter your heart space and let it show you what you want.  Pisces can also be the sign of romanticizing and daydreaming, so keep that in mind as you make decisions.

What the ****!!!!

This has the possibility to be one of those weeks, especially if you have placements in Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius.  The line from Jurassic Park, “hold on to your butt” comes to mind.  The Sun, Venus, and Mercury, all in Scorpio, are traveling in a pack at the moment and are interacting with Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus this week, plus we have a Lunar Eclipse on November 8.
 
Venus in Scorpio kicks off the week squaring Saturn in Aquarius on November 7 at 2:34 am.  How are your passions conflicted by the limitations of the collective?  Both are fixed energies but are different in their approaches.  Scorpio has a deep and intense energy, while Aquarius is more logical and scientific.  How can those two energies find a way forward? 
 
On November 8, we have a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse (Moon in Taurus Opposite Sun in Scorpio) at 6:02 am.  Not only is it an Eclipse, but here in the United States, it’s Election Day.  How is the process of releasing what no longer serves you going?  Are you making progress?  The universe wants you to grow and will do whatever it can to get your attention.  The process of death and rebirth is happening.  The process of dying and growing can both be painful.  Life isn’t meant to be easy.  You are here to learn.  What are you being shown?
 
A few hours later the Sun in Scorpio is Conjunct Mercury in Scorpio at 11:42 am.  They are reporting to each other on how this process is going and coming up with a plan for the rest of the week.  At 9:40 pm, Mercury in Scorpio will oppose Uranus in Taurus, and then on November 9 at 3:26 am, the Sun will Oppose Uranus.  Are you being awakened to a new reality?
 
Just a note on the election.  What do you value?  What is the most important to you?  The tensions in the sky (Squares and Oppositions) have two different points of view.  This has been evident this Election season and will definitely be evident on Election Day.  Have some patience for this process to unfold because things aren’t going to be known right away. 
 
We revisit the energy from the beginning of the week when Mercury in Scorpio Squares Saturn in Aquarius on November 10 at 2:52 am and then the Sun Squares Saturn on November 11 at 3:04 am.  How does the tension in the way that you communicate change and what are you being shown?  The Sun is trying to tell you something.  Can you see it and what can you do about it?
 
What are these tensions teaching you?  Let me know.  Do you want to know more, click here to book a discovery session or an appointment?

Deep Dive Into the Shadow

The season of Scorpio kicks into motion this week as Venus, the Sun, and Mercury all enter the sign of Scorpio.  Also, there’s a New Moon Eclipse in Scorpio on October 25 at 6:49 am.
 
Scorpio tends to be a sign that is misunderstood.  Most people don’t like exploring the darkness of life and that’s where the sign of Scorpio thrives.  Scorpio likes to explore the shadow side of life.  If you can meet your shadow and work on the triggers that arise, you can find the areas that you need to address in order to grow.
 
A lot happens astrologically this week, especially Sunday.  Saturn stations direct on October 23 at 12:07 am.  Saturn is still in the sign of Aquarius.  In general terms, Saturn is addressing the collective and the direction we’re headed since our structures have been dismantled.  What does the future look like?  Saturn has been revisiting the past while retrograding and is now ready to examine what it learned.
 
Venus will enter Scorpio on October 23 at 3:52 am.  The planet of love and beauty will drop into the underworld, where the Sun joins her a couple of hours later at 6:36 am.
 
Jupiter will retrograde back into Pisces on October 8 at 1:10 am.  Jupiter is still looking back and is re-examining what was going on before May 10.  It’s giving another opportunity for expansion, which won’t happen until Jupiter goes direct on November 23. 
 
The last of the personal planets, Mercury, will enter Scorpio on October 29 at 3:22 pm.
 
It can seem terrifying to confront your shadow, but the only thing to do with fear is to move through it and face it.  Otherwise your fear can control you.  It’s time to meet your shadow and follow the triggers.
