weekly astrology forecast

August 24-30

Here’s a half moon report for this week for ya-all. The MOON swings around to its waxing square on Aug 24th heading to full on Aug 30th. It’s already been an interesting week, as the weekend and most of the week had MERCURY and then MARS trining heavy PLUTO and the close pairing of disruptive URANUS and expansive JUPITER while opposite foggy NEPTUNE. A complex and pretty strong activation for manifesting our deeper impulses and thoughts. Relationships and feelings coulda been a little crunchy then, or possibly beneficially clearing, as the Sun opposed restraining/responsible SATURN while VENUS Rx squared JUPITER too.

By next Monday we have a lot of that still going on though fading. It then gets a definite kick on its way when the Moon activates PLUTO. Holding back those aggressive impulses and thinking about how to express yourself to get the best outcome you are really wishing for will be rewarded. Blowing up and letting it rip…Probably not. Though also defending yourself against attacks (real or imagined) will be strengthened. It’s all about clarity and discernment, as always, which unfortunately the aspects to NEPTUNE will NOT be helping you achieve. So go slow and consider your words, actions and thoughts well. Meanwhile, expect turbulence from those less self aware, but listen mindfully, it still might be a truth you need to hear.

Late morning on the 30th the MOON triggers SATURN as its finishing up it opposition to the SUN just 6 hours before the FULL MOON: A point where you might feel really restrained or repressed and want to wait until a more auspicious moment like Sept 2nd. (More on that in next weeks FULL MOON reading)

The only other strong aspect that day is an unpredictable and slightly irritating quincunx between MERCURY (communication and travel) and the healer CHIRON. Try to bring a sense of humor to any brief gitchyness in those areas.

Thats all for now. If you want to find out this all lands in your particular chart, reach out for a reading.

ASTROLOGY for Week of Jul 31 to Aug 6

transits

Ok, The focus this week is on the Moon as it hits full on Aug 1st. The Moon (our emotional body) swings around the whole zodiac each month and acts as a trigger for each of the planets it aspects as it whips along. The Full Moon is of course opposite the Sun (our Self both personally and collectively). This is well known to heighten our emotional responses, both positive and negative. It also represents a fruition of intentions and things set in motion at the New moon 2 weeks before.

This full moon in Aquarius has a particularly expansive/explosive quality to it because the Sun is in its home sign of fiery Leo shining its beam on the Aquarian themes of seriousness, love of personal freedom and of experimentation. Authentic confidence or cocky asshole? It is up to you and your awareness of your ego. Mars (the ego with its assertive or aggressive tendencies) is synergistically trine big ol’ “expand everything” Jupiter this week too.

With Mercury opposing Saturn all week, as well, there is the distinct possibility of either some great direct communication or a scrappy blow up around values, relationships or finances that will, either way, have ramifications arrive probably by Thursday when the moon hits the ‘I told you so” consequences of Saturn.

Remember we still have Venus retrograding through Leo into September and Pluto square the moons nodes going on the rest of 2023, as I mentioned in last weeks post and will again as those powerful aspects bring a focus to profound changes in our relationships to others and our own soul the next few months. So it’s another “Big” full moon. It looks huge too because its a “Super Moon” that is at a closer point in its orbit to the Earth.

Enjoy the inspirations and motivations this week, but keep it responsible and in check for best results. Keep in mind that everyone is feeling this fire and you may very well find yourself on the receiving end of someone else’s manifestations of these energies for good or ill.

So I know the Astrological forecast I do can be pretty long. My intention is to help you all who are interested get a deeper insight into the archetypal energies involved so you can sense them in your own life. And for those who TL;DR I’ll also post the bullet points for you each week. Ergo, 😉

Week of July 19-26

  • Another highly emotional and variable week because of lunar conjunctions to Mercury, Mars and Venus.
  • Venus goes retrograde for 7 weeks. Review and reset our relationships and personal values ( e.g. money) Pluto, Neptune and Saturn also retrograde.
  • Venus quincunx Pluto and Neptune, challenging us to bring our higher self and creativity to the challenge of facing the dark inner energies that must be mastered to achieve our collective visions of a better world.
  • Nurture the body and mind to support creative inspirations. Follow your true-true intuitions. Engage in practices to cultivate inner peace and wisdom. Slow down. Breathe. Know that this week is a necessary though challenging part of the journey we are all on that will inevitably help us grow, if we let it.

P.S. Here is the weekly energy reading from my dear friend and collaborator Phina Kemper We do a combined reading on IG each week. Phina is an intuitive psychic and I do the astrology. We never try to coordinate what we write. Each of us work separately yet each week is so in alignment and synchronicity. I love the validation of both methods and perspectives. Reach out to her if you want more of her services.

General energy reading: Week of July 19-26

Taking the time to rest and balance out the work and the play is still futile at this time. We are challenged to stay in our energy and not be too influenced by the energy of others. Staying in your truth while hearing the other’s perspective is still an ongoing topic. Challenging situations might occur.
Twin flame reading:
  • New phases✨
  • The divine feminine collective is moving more and more out of attachment connecting to happiness and fulfillment from within. The divine masculine collective is working through ego patterns and processing happenings from earlier cycles.
  • Hearts can be closed up out of fear or anger as ego layers are being shed.
  • Trust that the twin flame connection is a process toward self-love and spiritual growth. Don’t get fixed on the physical connection anymore. The Higher love is always there❤
Intuitive:
  • Anger and fear are low vibrations. Stay out of them as much as you can by taking good care of yourself. Go on a walk or run yourself a bath.
  • If you are in a situation where it is hard to clear these feelings then don’t try to bypass them. Feel them, express them, and then move into your relaxation rituals.
  • If this is a challenge for you then there is an invitation to go into the practice of detachment. From outcome and your connection to other people’s energy field.
  • This is a very important topic for at least the next week and probably for life. So let’s step into training…
  • I feel us moving into softer and lighter energy during the last week of July ✨
  • Moving into a more dreamy vibe with a good energy for manifestation.”

Anyone else feeling the buzz today?

Pluto square the Moons Nodes this week. Kinda heavy shit rumbling through, under everything else going on. Pluto actually has a heart shape on it as you can see, so even the Lord of the Underworld has a heart. It’s all for our own good whether we like it or not. Lol

And Mars. It just popped into detail and worry-wort Virgo. Everything feels nitpicky, a little manic and rushed this week especially today. A bunch of unexpected twists; flat tire, had to lock pick a bathroom door, distressed friends venting.

Might be the Sun sextiling disruptive and jumpy Uranus today. Also, the Moon was conjunct Uranus and then squared aggressive\assertive Mars yesterday. Emotional fire and explosions?

Anyway I’m trying to breathe through it all and be thankful the twists are getting handled.

I hope your day has gone well and you all are finding grace.

FYI, Ongoing Pluto ponderous transformations next week as it opposes the Sun while still squaring the Moon’s Nodes of Dharma. Wheee!!!

Sat & Sun, I’m like- “WTF is going on?” Moody fussy and also deeply contemplating my life course. Ha! Let’s look at the astrology! This is a week to initiate or continue necessary life changes and basically Aikido through each obstacle and resistance that is unequivocally yours with as much grace and power (and outside assistance) as we can muster.
The transit grid below isn’t really that hard to read once you know the symbols. The Moon and Sun columns are the same all the way down on this day ’cause those two objects are conjunct: New Moon. The aspects downward on the Sun n Moon are, roughly speaking: A harmony\facilitation (Sextile) to Uranus(sudden change\disruption), and more of the same (Trine)with Neptune {dreams\ideals\delusions) helps the eventualities to turn out well. The opposition to Pluto is powerfully pushing unconscious or repressed material to the surface to be transformed. A square to Chiron, pushing us to address and heal our wounds. Square to the Moon’s Nodes pushing us to grow towards our destiny and let go of the past. Meanwhile we feel angry and frustrated with all the obstacles that keep getting in the way of what we want: Saturn opposite Mars. Grrr! No wonder I feel both inspired and frustrated this week! Let’s do this! More astrology info coming in a few days. Shit don’t stop, lol

July 7 through July 13, 2023

This week has an interesting pattern arising which will be with us all of July into August. Pluto is squaring the Moons Nodes all month while the nodes are switching signs. The nodes are indicators of our Karma and Dharma. Things we know well from the past but need to move on from (South Node), and things we must learn and grow into in our lives (North Node). Pluto the destroyer and powerful transformer, brings our unconscious shadow out, things we’ve collectively and individually hid from ourselves and others gets brutally brought to light in this context. It is ultimately for the Good, even though we might resist, because the hidden and suppressed will always be eventual poison to our wholeness. It is always revealed in the long run, one way or another, or it becomes toxic to our wellbeing and true joy in life.

While this wild shit is going on, Pluto will be simultaneously opposing and activating Mercury, the planet of communication and thoughts, information and travel. At the same time, fiery Mars gets involved by synergistic trine and sextile to the North and South nodes respectively adding sparks and fire to the whole mix.  You can see how this might bring up some interesting conversations and experiences this week. Be prepared to be extra gracious and humble and wise about what you think and say and receive. It is potent medicine for sure. Next week: More fun with Pluto!

The big news for this week besides the Summer Solstice, is Saturn retrograde (Things we must do and its at its closest, most effectual proximity) is beneficially trine Jupiter (optimistically encouraging things to “Go big”). So at the beginning of the week things may seem to move forward a bit more smoothly if you’re making the necessary effort in the right direction. There might be some doubts, nightmares or delusions from dreamy, idealistic Neptune unfavorably squared to the Sun (self), but they will weaken by midweek. The other news is Mars and its loose conjunction with Venus. The masculine and feminine archetypal energies coming into balance while it trines the wounded healer Chiron. The end of June is more flowy than the beginning and relationships are getting opportunities for correction, both inside the self and externally. Happy Solstice!

Energy update:
Ego aspects can arise big time in personal relationships.

Narratives of others can sow doubt in your heart. It’s beautiful if you can explore the perspective of the other while staying in your truth. It is the full range of both perspectives that can create a container for contrast and with that comes growth.

Giving your power away by not holding your boundaries can have huge effects on your self-confidence.
Self-love is key at these times.

Sovereignty will be built on loving yourself fully, all aspects of shadow and light.

Insincerity revealed from the deepest layers of your most close connections can lead to breaks in connection. That what is meant to align with you will and the rest will fall away.

Strength and perseverance are asked as you move through this phase.

Standing by yourself is needed to step out of fear and insecurity into confidence and feeling whole and loved already.

Focus on your path and see if you can find the positives in what you or others see as your flaws and what you have to bring to the world.

Intuitive:
Next steps!

Letting go of toxic dynamics and everything or every connection that doesn’t seem to be reciprocated or authentic.

Inner child work can pop up. Fears and our deepest wounded parts can show their face in connecting with others. Instead of pushing emotions away let them arise and move through you as a wave that is passing.

The biggest challenge we are being prepared for is in space holding for wounded inner child parts of others. Practicing to stay in a vibration of love when others give you a reactive response.

Twin flames can be moving through a phase of difficulty in communication or even withdrawing. The personal growth of both as individuals seem to be key. You can take a look at where you are not yet loving yourself fully, what relationship wounds are there to be healed and what brings you your joy and connection to your full potential. ✨

Well it sure has been intense. Both good and challenging (ultimately for the greater good as always). Mars Square Jupiter has been lighting it up even as deep ol’ Pluto has been fading out of the picture. We’re all highly motivated to get our way, and brook no guff from resistances whether interior or exterior. The Moon trineing Mercury and swinging through a square and opposition to Sun and Saturn all day Saturday which will add some emotional oomph to all we need to accomplish this weekend. Boundaries expressed and defended strongly till the end of May. 😘
