Venus in Virgo makes us analytical about our relationships. When meeting new people we are careful and initially cautious. We prefer to spend time with people who share our values and take the time to develop relationships rather than jumping in all at once.

Our emotions can be weighty today, confusion distracts and indecisiveness holds us back from making progress. We are highly sensitive and in tune with other people’s emotions but not so much with our own.

With the moon in Taurus all day we can feel drawn to nurturing our senses through music, finding beauty around us, and seeking comfort. The company of others can bring us enjoyment today. We are here for those in need, and provide the support they need to feel good about themselves again. We should avoid getting caught up in daydreams and overthinking. We are prone to falling into bouts of self-analysis throughout the day that can bring us down over our circumstances and where we are in life. Try not to get discouraged over any challenges. The obstacles we face in our lives are actual low-key blessings because they make us stronger and more experienced. Challenges are beacons of your evolution. If you are feeling underappreciated, understand that everyone shows theirs differently and in due time, you will be recognized for your hard work. You can even get the ball rolling by appreciating your own efforts more, celebrating your accomplishments no matter how small they are, and by giving more of what you wish to receive from others.

Friday – August 23, 2019

Virgo season begins today at 6:01 AM EDT. It’s time to organize our lives and simplify our daily tasks through integration. We have a fine eye for detail and establishing what’s important in our lives. What no longer works for us gets dismissed to create more time for us to focus on what’s more important. This next month can find us being more nitpicky and seeking perfection more than usual. The slightest imperfection might turn us off, and cause us to be harder on ourselves than necessary. You must make room for mistakes and forgive yourself if you make any. Relax. Breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and meditation are all things you should look into adding to your life on a daily basis, but more so during this season. Certain things might become more important to you now than they actually matter to others. If you find yourself feeling nervous or close to panicking, seek advice and follow it. Sometimes, we are our worst critics and right about now we’re better at counseling others than we are at it for ourselves. There’s no better time to start seeing a therapist if you need help sorting your thoughts. This is a time for healing ourselves, physically, spiritually, and mentally. See a doctor, start exercising more if you aren’t doing so, eat in a way that is beneficial to your health. I don’t know what that is; some of us may need to eat more, while some may need to eat less. Just eat to live. What’s important is that you are getting your daily nutritional value through essential vitamin and mineral intake. The Moon enters Gemini this morning around 10:30 AM EDT. We are functioning under extreme mercurial energy these next couple of days. Our emotional response is high, but focus is low. Overthinking and analyzing is enhanced, but we should avoid becoming neurotic over minor mishaps or things beyond our control. Keep a good humor.

Saturday – August 24, 2019

The moon is in Gemini all day adding liveliness to our lives. We might be a little scatterbrained, restless, and our moods changeable, but we’re expressive and communicative nonetheless. We’re flexible now, and enjoy mixing it up as far as the things we want to know about. It’s a good day for learning new things. Venus conjunct Mars this afternoon, making us flirty and charming. We feel attractive at this time, and we have the courage to go after whatever we want. Nothing comes to those who stand by and do nothing. We could find ourselves feeling frisky, and might have a desire to start a fling at this time. Chances for romance are really high today. It’s important to lay your cards on the table upfront, so there’s no confusion down the line. If it’s something serious that you’re looking for, then be patient and nurture this new potential romance. Otherwise, enjoy it for what it is and as long as it lasts. We are charming today and can enjoy the company of good surroundings, intellectual conversations, music and dancing, writing, and expressing ourselves creatively. We are capable of supporting others, but must avoid exhausting ourselves in bending over backwards. Be careful of how you come off to others because emotions are running pretty high today. People can read more into your actions than you’re trying to convey. Be careful of leading people on, or thinking yourself, that there’s more to something than there actually is. Avoid self-destructive habits and negative behavior

Sunday – August 25, 2019

The moon in Gemini is void throughout the day until it heads into the sign of Cancer this evening at 5:05 PM EDT. We should still be enjoying the momentum of yesterday’s Venus and Mars alignment. Right now we have everything we need to put the pieces together in our lives. We might be feeling somewhat detached or a deep sense of inner calm right now. We’re unbothered and possess the ability to sort things out in our personal relationships. We’ll feel good about clearing the air and getting to the bottom of things. We’re in a good place to open up to others and grow closer together. Enjoy some quality time with a loved one or significant other this evening. There are so many wonderful opportunities in store for us today. Staying busy, flexible, and being open-minded will bring us closer to our goals. There are connections to be made from networking and in the meeting of minds. You can learn a lot if you just listen, or be the person communicating a message that people want and need to hear.

What I work with: In creating these forecasts, I integrate major aspects formed between the moon and the other planets, aspects made to transiting Chiron, and pattern aspects. Throughout the day the Moon can make so many different aspects due to how fast it moves. Moon transits affect our emotions on a global scale and will normally last for up to four hours, with the exception of a major lunar event such as an eclipse, new moon or a full moon. Therefore, I generally focus on the aspects being made to the Moon over all. An emphasis is made when another planet aspects another besides the Moon. Planets used are: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Chiron.

Full Moon In Aquarius 22° August 15 2019

On Thursday, August 15 at 8:29 AM EDT, we experience a full moon in the sign of Aquarius at 22°. The vibrant and cheerful Leo Sun opposes the deep and deliberate seriousness of the Aquarian Moon. The Sun is in conjunction with Venus, putting emphasis on our relationship with ourselves and others. Our relationships with friends, romantic partnerships, and our finances all have our attention at this time. The Moon’s opposition may cause some strain and stress on the people involved and bring a resistance. Both the Sun and Venus make a quincunx to Neptune indicating that we are looking for a purpose and meaning to our lives.

We have a lot of squares in the chart for today, indicating a refusal to cooperate. The Moon in Aquarius makes a t-square asteroid Vesta in Taurus. Right now we can be struggling with our desire for freedom versus commitment to something or someone. Do we share our amazing gifts of creativity with the world or be part of a collective and merge with a group. We’re weighing our commitment in our relationships to our desire to be alone sometimes. We are sorting out the matters of what’s important and feels good to us from what’s limiting us and not taking us anywhere. Perhaps we have been isolating ourselves or a part of ourselves. Allow yourself the permission to follow your own way of doing things and taking your time to set a pace and figure most of it out.

Mercury, Chiron, and the asteroid Ceres form a grand time today and this marks an opportunity to share ourselves with those who support us and reconnect with souls that understand us more. Souls find each other today, and bond through the familiarity of their struggles. It’s nice to find yourself surrounded by a community that gets you. Communication is highlighted and emphasized in most of our interactions today. We’ll have to be careful of speaking out of turn, not giving thought to the things we say to others, also from boasting and being pretentious. There’s so much Leo heart energy in the air. We have 4 planets in the sign, if we’ve been lacking confidence or creativity, Leo energy gives us a way to celebrate ourselves, our hearts, where we’ve been, where we’re heading. Leo rules the heart, generosity can play in a major way today and Aquarius’ humanitarianism makes a way for as many people as possible to benefit.

The stations of Jupiter and Uranus a few days ago play critical roles for us today as well. They represent a shift in our consciousness. Jupiter stationing direct on the 11th is emphasized in its own sign. It stationed direct on Uranus’ south node and also makes a square to Vesta. We are at a time of letting go of the past to move forward. Jupiter is a planet of expansion and higher learning. Now is a time to contemplate what’s shaped us, and the root of our deepest wounds. Depression and anxiety has risen significantly in the last several years, instead of it being debilitating, we can actually use it to discover more about ourselves. Jupiter brings a stroke of optimism and lessons learned in the things that it touches. As we explore the past to make sense of right now, be mindful to let it go after processing.

Check this out, in the cosmic realm Jupiter is currently in the degree of what’s known as the “Great Attractor” in our galactic belt. We have a wonderful opportunity right now to let go of a past as if it never even happened and forging a new life and mindset for ourselves now. Carrying our past baggage with us in the Now, and taking it into the future is like never leaving the past behind in the first place. Misery will only beget more misery. Jupiter is in a square to Neptune now for the next several months. There is a spiritual ingenuity we have for ourselves that we can use to transform and evolve. The flipside of this aspect is it can reveal dark secrets and lies. A lot gets exposed, so be sure to be living your highest Self and be true to you. This is what this full moon is all about. If you haven’t been living for yourself up to this point, begin today. This is a time of awakening to who we are.

Speaking of which, Uranus is known as the Awakener. The planet stationed retrograde on Sunday, a few hours after Jupiter stationed direct. Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius and signifies living your truth of who you are. At this time, some of us may have to detach ourselves and walk our paths alone to uncover the deeper meaning to our lives. Some of us feel the pull towards this independence of ourselves, but also are reluctant to follow it out of fear of hurting or losing someone. Well, ask yourself would you rather lose someone or yourself? In protecting others’ feelings, are you not hurting your own? Check it beloved, Uranus now retrograde means that things are changing and they’re going to be changing for a while. Get used to the idea that in order to evolve sometimes you have to walk a path all by yourself but the good thing to take away from that is that your tribe, your soul mates, your kindred spirits, will all be there at the end of the road. Uranus marks the future and the future is uncertain to the majority of us. Having no idea of what the future holds can be crippling, conflicting us with doubt and worry resulting in stagnation and no growth whatsoever. There is major unpredictability, the unexpected, and the unknown. As we become a society more obsessed with perfection and being looked at favorably, exploring unknown territory becomes scary and can feel awkward. We must be forgiving to ourselves and accepting of our mistakes.

So to summarize; this Aquarian Full Moon begins a new chapter of our lives. We are getting to know humanity and at the same time more about ourselves and how we fit into that collective. What gifts do we have to share? What fulfills us? It’s time to sort out what feels good to us from what limits us altogether. This full moon is a chance at an emotional release and admittance to ourselves that we desire more freedom. We can see and touch the future, but there lies an uncertainty on how to get there. The answer is in looking at the picture from every angle. So much fixed energy right now can have our sights set and our minds made up the decisions we’ve made. We have 4 planets in confident Leo, Uranus is in stubborn Taurus, however the Full Moon in Aquarius stands as the rebel and illuminates the internal discontent we feel. What is you life’s purpose? How will you share your divine gifts, principals, and speak your truth to the world? Take the rest of the month until to figure this out and experiment with new routines, techniques, changed habits, group involvement, and more the sharing of yourself. Give yourself a chance to make them and forgive yourself for your mistakes. We are in test-run mode now until the New Moon in Virgo at the end of the month. That itself will bring on an entirely different shift from the bold expressive Leo energy we’ll be coming from. . Focus your attention now on figure out how you can express yourself and your highest level of conscious, and how this can benefit humanity by becoming part of a movement or a movement itself.

The Sabian Symbol for 22° Aquarius is:

22° CHILDREN REVEL UPON A SOFT NEW CARPET IN THEM NURSERY.
Life’s warmth and richness given to those who eagerly learn to live. Luxurious self-knowing, or self-appreciation. Comfort.

Weekly Outlook for August 12 -18, 2019

Monday – August 12, 2019

There’s a saying that goes, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life”, and that couldn’t be more truer than it does for many of us today. With the shifts that occurred in the last 24 hours Jupiter stationing direct and Uranus stationing retrograde we feel brand new, optimistic and ready to make the necessary changes our lives need. Saturn and Pluto align with the Moon in Capricorn today, giving us a serious outlook to the day. It can be a powerful day in the emotional realm, feelings can be deeply intense and we’re capable of doing anything on an extreme level. Watch out for power struggles today and forcing your will on others. You’ll have a better day if you focus on your responsibilities today and being selective with your time and the company you keep. Take care not to fall into a rut of despair or feelings of guilt. Stay away from all negativity, surround yourself with people who support and encourage you, or spend time alone and do some introspection. Opening up to someone you’d like to connect with can reveal some clarifying information that brings you closer together. Avoid being petty and look for mature ways to handle a situation. There are great things ahead for those of us putting in the work to make our dreams come true. Put the past behind you and focus on what you’re doing for your future right now.

The Moon is void from 6:11 PM EDT, until it enters the sign of Aquarius on Tuesday, August 13th, at 11:35 AM EDT.

Tuesday – August 13, 2019

The serious Capricorn Moon ends it transit at 11:35 AM EDT and moves into freedom loving Aquarius. If by chance you happened to have ended your night or woke up today feeling, the Moon in Aquarius might be the pick-me-up that’s needed. Under this lunation, we can become somewhat rebellious and easily distracted. We’re very social and friendly, but can be removed from our emotions. The Moon in Aquarius favors spontaneity, interaction, exploration, self-expression, and humanitarian efforts. We can tap into our individuality and share it with the world. We are prone to shaking things up and switching up routines without warning. This afternoon, the communication bar gets raised. Mercury in Leo opposing the Moon today might make us sensitive and prone to having misunderstandings with others. Things said can get misinterpreted if not given thought to its delivery. Folks are sensitive today, and it’s a case of not what you say, but how you say it. There seems to be a disconnect, but it comes mostly from not being receptive to what others are saying. Talk less and listen more. With New Moon approaching, some realizations can be made now. Pay attention.

The Moon is void from 3:36 AM EDT, until the Moon enters Scorpio at 11:31 AM EDT.

Wednesday – August 14, 2019

Today has the potential of being a very pleasant one and can turn out to be fortunate as well. We want to be around people and have a good time.The Sun conjuncts Venus and fills the air with warmth, affection, and harmony. We can enjoy ourselves in the company of good friends, family or that special someone. It’s a good day to spend time with your children or children in general. They have so much to teach us about ourselves from when we were that age. No children to spend time with? No problem. Bring out your inner child, be playful and fun seeking. Like children on a playground, we can make friends easily through common interests and mutual attraction. Someone’s been checking you out, and today could be the day they decide to slide into that inbox. Today is a day of bringing things together. We can finally figure out what’s enjoyable to us, and see more of it occur from this day forward. We can attract some good fortune to us in terms of finances, new projects, creative endeavors, romance, and career pursuits. Don’t spend all day working or in doubt of yourself. Go out and have fun. Attend that after-work party, visit a museum today, treat yourself to a new outfit or a good meal. Call up your lover and plan a hot sizzling night of sweet sweet love down by the fire. The Universe wants you to. I know how strange it sounds advising you to let your hair down and it’s midweek, but I’m not suggesting to spend all day in revelry and pleasure. I’m saying make the time for it. With all this fuss I’m making, I must also tell you that with a favorable Venus aspect, a tendency to over-indulge is also very possible. Don’t stack to many obligations and duties to the day and you should be just fine. So, enjoy yourself but do it in moderation and be safe! The Moon spends all day in sociable Aquarius, and favors catching up with friends, and being part of group activities. It is getting ready to peak to the New Moon phase tomorrow morning.

Thursday – August 15, 2019

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon are opposite to each other and it signifies a time of laying things to rest, finding equilibrium, completion, and endings. This morning a Full Moon occurs in the sign of Aquarius at 22° and we have a desire to express ourselves individually, while wanting to contribute to the collective conscious of humanity. This Full Moon motivates us to create a balance between our own passions, and personal contribution to humanity. This lunation can help us achieve a way to integrate them. We are full of original ideas at this time, and we have extra energy to focus on social activities. Friends are prone to get a little more attention than family members under this lunation, but there’s love to go around to everyone. Venus making an aspect to this Full Moon underlines that our emotions and need to give and receive affection will play a major role in our interactions throughout the day. We have a deep yearning to be part of something and contribute to something without losing touch with ourselves. Mercury in a positive aspect with Chiron raises our self-awareness and ability to express our emotions clearly. We are in tune with the pain & suffering that weighs people down, and we can connect to others by sharing part of ourselves and our experience.

The Moon is void from 9:02 PM EDT, until it enters the sign of Pisces, at 11:49 PM EDT.

Friday – August 16, 2019

The Moon entered the reflective sign of Pisces last night. Today, we have an opportunity to put ourselves in another person’s shoes and see things from their angle. This could result in us finding solutions for our own circumstances. The Moon in a sextile to Uranus can make us seek change in our lives and have the motivation to seek this out now. Mercury squaring Uranus makes us a little scatterbrained, irritable, and easily distracted. We should remain grounded and avoid speaking before thinking so as not to hurt anyone’s feelings unintentionally. So, if you find yourself getting annoyed by the actions or what people say, take a deep breath and think twice before going off for no reason. Some things you just can’t take back. Things may move so speedily today that you find it hard to keep up. This can make us innovative, finding new ways to do things that might save us some time. We may run into people who may be of help to us, take advantage of the opportunities coming your way. Keep an open schedule and be flexible as possible to better handle what might fly your way. Be careful driving, try not to get a speed ticket or road rage. It is better to be early than on time, so plan your commute accordingly to avoid any delays.

Saturday – August 17, 2019

Today will require a major dose of self-discipline to carry out our tasks and responsibilites. It’s a good day to work on yourself and on fixing any bad habits you may have. We’re getting an early start for Mars entering Virgo tomorrow morning at 1:18 AM EDT. Neptune in Pisces aligns with the Moon this afternoon and raises our sensitivity and compassion for others. Our intuition is so high today that there could be the feeling of sensory overload, as . Colors look more vivid, we’re sensitive to noise, and get easily lost in our thoughts because the daydreaming factor today is through the roof. We might believe that we can sense the feelings of others to the point of absorbing or bringing it out of ourselves. Be careful with this, however. The confusion of this transit can make us paranoid. Deception is also in the air today, and even a little white lie might blow up in your face. We can easily fool ourselves into a funk, feelings of guilt, and self-destructive habits. That’s why it’s important that we remain truthful with others and true to ourselves. This evening we could be feeling moody, as a result we can become overindulgent, and careless. However, we feel restless and do better in expressing ourselves. Sometimes, we’re in need of a change that refreshes and stimulates us. You might sense your strong instincts guiding you towards this now – follow it! Talk to the strangers you meet today, they may present something valuable. The women in your life may also have something to offer. Intuition and instincts are extemely high today, but it’s important to follow it towards light instead of darness. Open your heart and lend a hand where you can. Love is genuine today and you can count on the generosity of others. Keep your standards high.

The Moon is void from 6:34 PM EDT, until it enters the sign of Aries on Sunday, August 18th, at 12:33 PM EDT.

Weekly Outlook for August 5 -11, 2019

Monday – August 5, 2019

We are prone to a whirlwind of emotions today, with feelings and direction being all over the place. We could start the day feeling really positive, and wanting to socialize but as the day moves on it can take on a more serious tone and it can become somewhat harder to connect with people. Avoid falling into a state of melancholy from overthinking what you consider were failures. By this evening we get involved in emotional power struggles, and it gets difficult to remain neutral or control our reaction to what occurs. The Moon spends all day in Libra trying to make sense of it all. The Libra moon favors harmony and finding a middle ground. It is capable of seeing both sides of a situation and finding a balance between them. Under this Moon’s influence we are better suited to keep our composure and be open to cooperation with others. The way you start your day with a feeling of inner balance can be used throughout the day to lead and reconcile any problems with compassion and enthusiasm to help others. If you’re in a loving relationship today can be a pleasurable for intimacy, and for making sexual relations exciting by this evening. If you know what I mean.

Tuesday – August 6, 2019

The compromising Libra Moon ends today and begins a new transit in the sign of Scorpio around 11:30 AM EDT. We’re coming off of cooperating to meet others’ needs, to now looking within ourselves to get in touch with our emotions under the Scorpio Moon. We must watch out for changeable moods today as it can bring on hasty emotional reactions and pettiness. We are prone to being highly opinionated, caring little for what others think or might have to say. Our emotional reactions tonight could easily lead us down the wrong path if having a good time takes the lead over our responsibilities. Be careful of overlooking the needs of others, including yourself, avoid carelessness. You may want to put your foot down on a situation you find extremely restrictive. There may be surprises in store for us this evening that are the disruptive kind that may require us to make a few modifications that we may or may not be willing to make but is necessary regardless. The fact of the matter is staying inflexible in your patterns is what leads to unpredictable results. Becoming more open to experiencing some different, could make it easier to accept what life throws at you. A little charity can go a long way today and the Universe does repay you for it.

The Moon is void from 3:36 AM EDT, until the Moon enters Scorpio at 11:31 AM EDT.

Wednesday – August 7, 2019

We are feeling mighty and on top of the world today with the Sun in an exact trine to Jupiter this morning at 3:32. Sadly, chances of rain loom over our parade towards the evening. We start off with an abundance of high optimistic energy which could be applied toward attaining Personal and spiritual growth through studies and travel. We can express ourselves easily through writing and public speaking. Financial gains are possible at this time. We feel in harmony with our environment and most likely prefer engaging in abstract and metaphysical topics, anything that can broaden our outlook in life intrigues us at this time. However, this can be interrupted tonight when the Sun makes a minor quincunx aspect to Saturn. This aspect can throw us off balance and create friction between balancing the self-esteem, the ego, with heavy feelings of responsibility and self-discipline. This aspect to Saturn can have us in our feelings of sadness and loneliness and it can be hard to regain the self-confidence we started the day with. The Moon spends the entire day in introspective Scorpio, we could use this energy to go deep into exploring the depths of our emotions to make sense of our circumstances. This moon has the emotional fearless to do the deep work to bring you back to center.

Thursday – August 8, 2019

Yesterday may have ended heavily and abruptly for some of us, but today we have the benefit of starting again and doing even better with our day today. Venus makes a trine to Jupiter this afternoon at 4:28 PM EDT, which will lift our spirits and bring an abundance of love right along with it. This aspect favors socializing of every kind, it makes us exude confidence and charm. We attract people who love and support us and we feel a boost in popularity. We are warm and friendly towards others, and feel more at ease to express our softer side through the love and affection we give to others. We benefit in giving as much as we are in a position to receive. Pay a service or a gift forward. Financial gain is very likely at this time since Venus rules money and Jupiter rules wealth. Making an investment today could end up working in your favor and increasing your fortune. (Disclaimer: I’m no broker or inside trader so don’t blame me if you lose some change dammit) That said this is one of the most favorable transits to anticipate. You will enjoy socializing more and appear more attractive to others. Luck may appear out of nowhere through favors, gifts, offers, and opportunities. It would be unwise to say no to an offer right now. Needless to say, this is an epic time to start dating or take a relationship to the next level. Along with that, we can also use this transit’s influence to repair friendships that are on the rocks. It’s an ideal time to have faith in what you love and put your trust in the people that you love. You can enjoy a shopping spree right now if your financial affairs are in order, and if they’re not, you can still stand to treat yourself without any guilt; just don’t splurge. The Moon makes its final stand in mysterious Scorpio today and enters the sign of Sagittarius this afternoon at 4:35 PM EDT.

The Moon is void from 10:58 AM EDT, until it enters the sign of Sagittarius at 4:35 PM EDT.

Friday – August 9, 2019

The Moon is in Sagittarius all day giving us a boost of optimism and positive spirit. We have this newfound sense of seeking adventure, expanding our consciousness, and learning something deep. Our inclination for spontaneity is high and we have the will to just go for what we want. This energy makes us seek freedom, growth, and new opportunities for ourselves. Later this afternoon Venus makes a quincunx to Saturn at 4:24 PM EDT. While a minor aspect, a quincunx deals with health and being made to Saturn, no doubt this shows up in the form of brooding or depression. In all of our good spirits today we can be hit with a wave of emotions that rocks our sensibilities. We can undergo an unexplainable sadness that stirs up an anxiety within us that can hinder us from asserting ourselves and getting our needs met. You may find yourself putting distance between you and others. While some alone time would do well in helping you collect your thoughts, it would be unwise to ignore the people you love who are trying their best to show love to you.

Saturday – August 10, 2019

The Moon spends another day in optimistic Sagittarius. We enjoy spontaneity and spending time outdoors. Details and small and practical matters are less important now as we desire more freedom. This Moon favors seeking higher education, it wouldn’t be out of place to sign up for a class on a whim. The Sun makes a minor contact with the North Node this afternoon, and we can feel as if we’re moving along in the right direction. We get along well with others today and receive their cooperation with little to no resistance. A quincunx this evening between the Sun and Neptune threatens to throw us off course and fog our way of thinking. It can be hard to focus and define our aspirations. There is an underlying feeling that past failures can dictate our future endeavors as being the same, and this can make us hesitant about getting something off the ground. It is important that you understand this is more your own feeling than actually being true. Get out of your head and take that risk. A minor aspect between Venus and the North Node this evening could bring you the attention of someone who has been admiring you from afar.

The Moon is void from 3:50 PM EDT, until the it enters the sign of Capricorn on Sunday, August 11th, at 12:50 AM EDT.

Sunday – August 11, 2019

It’s a busy day in the zodiacal realm, we have one planet ending its retrograde and another planet getting ready to start its retrograde a little while after that. We also have the planet of communication entering the most expressive sign of the zodiac. The Moon entered the sign of Capricorn this morning at 12:51 AM EDT, turning our minds to business and getting ahead in our goals. Jupiter in Sagittarius stations Direct this morning at 9:27 AM EDT and asks us what knowledge did we gain or new experience did we undergo during the retrograde that can be applied toward our spiritual evolution. Venus makes a quincunx to Neptune this afternoon making us prone to fantasizing about unrealistic situations. We might be prone to confusion in our relationships today, being unsure of what we want and expressing moodiness and frustration. It is highly suggested that you reexamine your relationship expectations. On the flipside, we find comfort in being in the company of others today. Mercury enters Leo this afternoon at 3:46 PM EDT, adding dramatic flair and bold expression to our conversations. We speak from the heart, and become very social under this transit enjoying lots of laughs and playful conversations. Our creativity fountain is overflowing and we have an abundance of energy and desire to create and to keep creating. Later on this evening, Uranus the Great Awakener stations Retrograde at 7:23 PM EDT. When Uranus goes retrograde it can give us a feeling of instability and dread. Things can change under Uranus’ retrograde. Those changes can come out of nowhere and shock us like nobody’s business. These are changes that can completely change our minds and our hearts and possibly take us down a whole new path. We become freed from old ways of thinking and doing things. Great changes can take effect on our outlook during this time. We can possibly change some old habits and ways of thinking. Stay tuned for my article explaining more about Uranus in Taurus and it’s retrograde cycle.

Weekly Outlook for July 29 -August 4, 2019

Monday – July 29, 2019

Put on your seatbelt and get ready to ride an emotional rollercoaster today. The Moon enters Cancer this morning at 7:30 AM EDT, activating emotions and increasing sentimentality in all of us. Meanwhile, Uranus the great disruptor is in full effect today, bringing our need for adventure and change to the forefront. You could be feeling off today and can get easily irritated at times. There is a restlessness in the air today that makes us fidgety and anxious, but mentally sharp to come up quick with solutions. It’s a favorable time to step out of comfort zones and make changes to personal habits and domestic routines. The Sun square Uranus can make us neglect our duties in favor of independence and rebellion. You might feel the need for a sudden change in your life. Don’t ignore this feeling and examine what it is instead. If you withhold your reservations and pinpoint this tension then you’ll be more prepared for whatever adjustments or changes are necessary to be made. Otherwise, it can blow up right in your face…disastrously. For instance, if you’re struggling to see results from something at this time, intentionally changing the way you’re doing things can bring positive results. Whereas, continuing to do the same thing over and over can result in a devastating change. This aspect requires us to be flexible, for the fact that we can be unsure about what our needs are until we actually meet them. Be on the alert for any chance encounters today. Get out of the house and take the scenic route to wherever you’re heading. Surprises can be very beneficial to us right now. You could be feeling really charged today and resistant to taking anyone’s order, advice or hearing their opinions. However, keep in mind that it’s not just you feeling this way and with that comes the chance of having outbursts and getting into disputes with others. So drink your water and don’t be meddlesome. You should be careful to avoid driving recklessly today or fiddling with any machinery today.

Tuesday – July 30, 2019

The Moon is in the home-loving Cancer all day, raising our sensitivity, intuition and might make us slightly touchy today. We would do well to maintain our energy for most of the day, as disconnectedness can impair our judgement and decisions. Emotional needs can get brought to the surface this morning and it can be hard to open up to other people or remain neutral, which can lead to becoming distant and others finding you cold or unemotional. This afternoon our intuition might feel particularly strong. While being positive is always a good thing, it’s important to remain realistic this afternoon and not get carried away by our fantasies or hold our expectations too high. Hold off on making any important decisions today for tomorrow, after you’ve had a chance to make sense of the situation. Intense emotions and inner turmoil can arise by tonight. Feelings of hopelessness, anguish, vulnerability, confusion, jealousy, and fear are things that can be brought up at this time. It’s important not to give in or react to
circumstances based off of these emotions which might feel like some work on your part, but I know that you got this. By being aware that this is just a passing feeling, you can avoid damaging your relationships with others. Find some time to be alone today to collect your thoughts and adjust your attitude. The less you say the more awareness you will gain. If emotions get overwhelming and you aren’t feeling like yourself then tell someone rather than taking it out on them. Try not to make others feel guilty for the way feel. It’s best to find someone you trust to talk to and share your feelings with. If that isn’t an option, then seek professional counseling to make peace with youraelf. On the other hand, you might be the one that someone reaches out to today for support or comfort, because of your sensitive and caring nature.

Wednesday – July 31, 2019 New Moon in Leo 8° 37′ 11:12 PM EDT

The Moon leaves Cancer this morning and enters fun loving Leo this morning at 9:19 AM EDT. Today we find pleasure in socializing and might be feeling the love coming from all directions when the Moon and Venus conjunct this afternoon. There is a sense of inner peace and a strong sense of how to love yourself. Watch out for absorbing the negative energy of others and for that reason it is important to go where the love is instead. Later on, disruptions can occur that agitate us to rebel and lash out. You will do better to channel that energy towards a change in your daily routine. Mercury ends its retrograde and stations direct this evening at 11:51 PM, right after a New Moon in Leo. Thinking will be clearer now and we’re able to come to realizations and acceptance for where we’re headed. We’ve just spent several weeks going over our lives along with the roles that people play in it. We saw true colors, gained new perspectives, saw how we contribute to our circumstances and realized the changes we have to make. Now is a time of putting all of those lessons together and moving forward with them being applied in our lives. It’s time to take back control of your life and go after what you want for yourself. This ties in well with our second New Moon of this month, this time in Leo. Also called a Black Moon, this Super Moon energy inspires us and encourages us to shine. We pay this forward by encouraging others to shine. Are you hiding your gifts and talents from the world? Are you afraid of stepping outside of your comfort zone? This New Moon lunation motivates us to take the stage and show the world what we’re made of. Remember that the Sun rules Leo and the Sun shines bright! If it’s criticism you’re afraid of, just know that the more you bury your awesomeness, the more criticism you will face. This lunation favors enterprise and entrepreneurship. It’s a time to solidify your mission statement and start to live it out. Having set your goals outside of accolades and recognition, the Universe will give you what you want when you need it. Trust in it and yourself. Step up to your throne and claim your crown tonight. You are royal at what you do!

Weekly Outlook for July 22 -28, 2019

Monday – July 22, 2019

This morning a lunar cycle ends in Pisces and begins anew in the sign of Aries at 6:03 AM EDT. We feel rejuvenated and ready for a fresh start at something exciting. Energy is fired up and we’re ready to take action through bold moves, and leadership. This lunation favors physical activity more than anything. The tendency to act impulsively during this time is high, as there is also restless energy in the air at this time. Tonight, The Sun will enter its sign of Leo at 10:50 PM EDT, officially marking the start of #LeoSeason. The Sun in Leo is strong, confident, and magnetic. During this period we can gain a new sense of self-awareness and determination. Generosity is a positive feature of this transit; we open our hearts to others and find others doing the same for us. Many of us will be feeling playful, more expressive than usual, and suddenly creative. Now is a good time to follow your heart and go for yours. The Leo energy makes us ambitious, enterprising and bold. Utilize the friendly energy in the air to network and meet new people. Be sure to get out as much as you can, especially while the Sun is still out. Work hard, but make room for playtime. Have fun! If you’re working on a new look or a makeover, wait until the retrograde is over on the 31st before making any changes – that includes your hair! The worst thing to be aware of and to watch out for right now is your ego and that of others. The worship of vanity will be off-putting to others and arrogance will be at an all-time high. A LOT of showing off and bragging comes from the lower spectrum of the Sun in Leo. Self-assurance is a trademark of Leonine energy, but make sure that confidence is genuine and that you are not wearing a mask to cover up something unattractive underneath.

Tuesday – July 23, 2019

The Moon is in full effect all day in the sign of Aries the warrior. In the morning we are ready to take on the world. We have the energy and the courage to go after what we’ve set our sights on. A trine with Mars this morning brings a positive attitude along with courage. Your enthusiasm can be infectious to others who admire your optimism and ambition. Stand up for yourself and your principles. This aspect can make us assertive, but not too forecul. Don’t shy away from taking a stand to get your point across, you will be respected more for your honesty. In the afternoon, things may start to heat up and get more intense when the moon forms a square to Saturn at 2:30 PM EDT. There can be a disconnect during these hours, you might feel a need to work independently or avoid social interaction. If by chance you’re involved in a project with others, start it in the first half of the morning. Moods may dive this afternoon and evening, but don’t get into a rut or back into one. If you feel your spirit getting low, then do something immediately to pick it up Accept that these are merely tides that come and go and you will be fine. Keep your spirits up by being kind to others today (and everyday after that). You can witness your kindness goes a long way and have plenty of it returned back to you. Starting things will be easier than finishing them throughout the day. Keep your eye on the prize to get it done.

Wednesday – July 24, 2019

The Moon finishes its transit of action-oriented Aries today and enters the sign of Taurus the Bull this evening at 5:44 PM EDT. When the Moon is in Taurus, we focus more on our security and stability. We resist changes and we become less adaptable to the changes around us. Today’s energy is high, but concentration just isn’t. This morning may find us irritable and moody. A busy schedule could interfere with something you’re trying to launch. Disagreements can arise due to our hastiness to respond to a situation without fully considering the feelings of another. You might find it difficult to concentrate on tasks and responsibilities due to a need to get out and have fun. This could have an affect on your relationship and stir up conflict. Some quality time and intimacy can make the tension disappear. Moods lift up tonight when Mercury, still in retrograde, makes a conjunction to Venus at 8:25 PM. Love is in the air and it can be easily expressed tonight. You may feel compelled to show your affection through a gift, a visit, a letter, a date or be on the receiving end of it. Conversations with new people you meet can become meaningful friendships. Don’t be shy, slide into a dm and shoot your shot. What have you got to lose? With Mercury in retrograde, old feelings might resurface about things you used to enjoy. Don’t get stuck in the past, instead start planning on how you will bring the pleasure and excitement back into your life.

Thursday – July 25, 2019

This morning Mars and Jupiter partner up in a trine and stirs up a spirit of eagerness to make our way. It’s a perfect time to spend contemplating your next move as whatever you pursue now has a greater chance of success. Our minds are sharp, and energy is high giving us a boost in confidence and hope for the future. Our drive is ambitious under this transit and we can find extra luck out of nowhere coming to us. The Universe is bestowing upon us a blessing for the past few months we’ve endured under this retrograde season – a fog is lifting. Real talk, winning now requires some action on your part also. Plan ahead at the moment and keep a positive outlook about it. When overwhelment or overthinking starts to kill the vibe, get up and use that energy towards something physical. I don’t mean anything violent that can get you arrested though, keep that in mind. In believing in yourself, doors will open for you. Be bold. Be open. Trust in others and your instincts. Remember there are retrogrades in motion and it’s best to plan ahead before jumping in the waters. The need to break free is strong in many of us under this aspect, try not to get ahead of yourself with the self-determination as there is a likelihood of arrogance and self-importance that can take over us as well. The Moon is in Taurus all day and challenges Mars this evening in a square. Keep tempers in check, feet planted and eyes on the prize. Interactions might escalate to an extent of causing pain to someone else. We can diffuse or prevent this by not taking things so personal. Someone could be making an attempt to open up to you, don’t get offended – keep your ego in check.

Friday – July 26, 2019

The Moon is in Taurus today, highlighting our desire to feel comfortable and secure. This
morning we find it easy to express our feelings. We’re perceptive to the sensitivity in others and could feel the energy surrounding us very intensely. Yesterday’s transits may have left us feeling optimistic for the future. Today, we are aware of the power within us and we can tap into that power to push past any obstacle that may stand in our way. Around midday, we might start to feel lethargic and distracted. Take a break at this time and enjoy an activity that will provide an escape for just a moment and then get back to business. This evening provides a chance for clear thinking and open communication. New relationships can develop from information being shared. On the flipside, others might come to you for information or support. Social interaction will be buzzing this evening to where we can get to the bottom of things and solve many problems. As today will be a day of extreme emotional reactions, be on the lookout for emotional outbursts and frustrations. Mars makes a quincunx with Saturn tonight around 10:25 PM EDT, this may create some problems that can slow us down through delays or problems with authority. This aspect does not favor any demanding work that requires concentration. Best to do your most important as early as possible and spend the rest of the evening catching up with unfinished projects you’ve already started.

Saturday – July 27, 2019

Early this morning in the wee hours, the Moon entered the sign of Gemini around 2:30 AM EDT. Under this transit attention spans can be low, so it’s best that we focus on our important tasks for short periods at a time. We would much rather be out socializing and having conversations with new people we can learn from and exchange ideas with. It’s a good time to reach out to old friends and catch up in each other’s lives. Even though we may be feeling communicative, we may not necessarily feel compelled to carry on these interactions for too long. This afternoon, opportunities can arise if we open up to them being possible. We are given a chance to fix areas in our lives without any interruption or setback from the Universe. We can repair our relationships and they have a chance to grow now through stronger emotional expressions. Also occurring today, Venus enters the sign of Leo tonight at 9:54 PM EDT. When Venus is in Leo, we are in love with the world around us, and we can find love to give to ourselves. We’re feeling an extra dose of generosity and appreciation towards people we love. Passion heats up in romantic relationships, and single people have a greater chance at receiving an invitation to go on a date, or four. Pride and ego are involved in most matters at this time and it’s important to remember the Golden Rule when dealing with others. Remember to do unto others as you would have them do to you.

Sunday – July 28, 2019

This morning finds us ready and willing to take on tasks without a second thought about the outcome. We may be prone to impulsivity today, nonetheless, resulting in positive and successful outcomes. We can apply ourselves passionately to the things we need to do today. You may attract someone who is really digging a special quality in you that they’ve been seeking in common with them. Romantic partners could feel the spark come alive between them. We can be all in our feels by the afternoon, possibly not seeing things as they really are. We can be low-key in denial about something, and dishonesty won’t get us far today. It’s not the best day to subscribe to “signs” or superstitions of any kind. Seeing is believing. Slow things down and pay attention to your emotions. Be honest about them, it’s highly recommended that you open up to others and not keep your emotions bottled up. If help is needed, reach out and ask for it.

We are capable of lending each other support and helping out those in need today. By tonight we’re feeling the love and light in the atmosphere as the Sun and Chiron form a trine. We can find ourselves reviewing our mission in the world. How are you contributing to the restoration of humanity and the collective consciousness? Give that some thought. The Moon is in restless Gemini all day today. The Moon in Gemini favors analytical mental activity, makes us good-humored, sociable and communicative. The downside is it also had the effect of making us scatterbrained and moody.

The Moon goes void-of course from 11:24 AM EDT until tomorrow morning when it goes into the sign of Cancer at 7:30 AM EDT. Do all things in moderation during this time.

Weekly Outlook for July 15 -21, 2019

Monday, July 15, 2019

The moon has been in Capricorn since yesterday, we continue moving forward through discipline. We can feel weighed down by the responsibilities of our day ahead. There is an underlying pressure to change things, either about ourselves or our environment. There is a possibility for things to go awry today, so be on the alert for the unexpected. The Moon’s trine to Uranus raises our awareness and intuition. This day can be exciting and filled surprises with happy outcomes. Our impulsivity is also activated, fortunately for us today there can be positive outcomes in being spontaneous – follow your gut. Old faces may appear out of the blue during this time giving a chance to catch up with old friends. We can benefit greatly from remaining optimistic and not folding to any pressure. Now is a good time to work on self-improvement. Think about an area in your life you want to improve; create a goal and then work on a plan. Take control of a situation.

Tuesday, July 16, 2019 – Full Moon Eclipse in Capricorn 24° (Partial) 5:38 PM EDT 🌕♑

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon are in opposite signs of each other in the same degree. It represents completion and serves as a checkpoint of things began 6 months ago on the corresponding New Moon. Today’s Full Moon in Capricorn comes to us this evening with a partial lunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse will only occur during a full moon. Lunar eclipses bring transformation, personal insight, final endings, a form of release, and a chance to reflect on where we came from and how much further we still have to go.

Two weeks ago we had the solar eclipse in Cancer that marked the beginning of a new lunar cycle and planted the seeds that began a new chapter in our evolutionary experience. Well, this lunar eclipse is for sorting out these details and to come to realizations about what does and doesn’t work for us. Taking place on the Cancer-Capricorn axis, this cycle is all about balancing your private life and your career. Perspective is very likely to shift at this time. Things might feel like they are falling apart but they are actually falling into place, and you will realize it once the air clears. Eclipses strengthen us; this one being conjunct Pluto and the South Node, reminds us that it is a time for letting go. Old structures are crumbling and new ideals and perspectives are replacing it. You may feel an internal pressure now to have as much as you can be done and over with, but don’t rush yourself.

Remember that we are also experiencing a retrograde of Mercury, so give yourself time to gather your thoughts and sort your new ideas. Mercury retrograde tends to alter our judgement and cloud our thinking. Use this time now until the 31st to reflect, become grounded and allow things to fall into place. Resist any urge to act out in anger and get in touch with your subconscious instead to explore the root of your emotions. Face your darker side and make
peace with yourself. You are being provided with an opportunity to gain a clearer picture of who you are, and how you need to express yourself. Where you are now is exactly where you need to be.

Those people with Sun, Moon or Ascendant in cardinal signs (Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, Libra) will feel much of this energy, especially if they are within 19° – 29°. As for everyone else, the house where Capricorn is located in your chart is the area of your life you should be paying most attention to.

A lunar eclipse happens when the sun, moon, and Earth align in a way that the Earth’s shadow moves over the face of the moon. In this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth’s shadow will be seen on only part of the moon.

#FullMoonEclipse #CapricornFullMoon2019

Wednesday – July 17, 2019

The moon entered the sign of Aquarius this morning at 5:18 am and we can awake today feeling detached and spontaneous. Strong reactions to emotional issues highlight the day with the Moon in aspect to Mercury this morning. We may find it hard to be objective at this time. Our needs become important matters to us at this time, it’s best to reflect on what they are and how to get them met. It is important that you consider other people’s feelings to make the best choices in your final decisions. Annoyance and uneasiness are emotions that can be used to figure things out about ourselves and the people we interact with. Feeling closed off and disconnected today might lead to misunderstandings that throw us off. The early square this morning between Venus and Saturn can create constraints in the work day and bring potential bad news. Make sure to take the occasional break to stretch your legs and find your center. A sudden desire to break free of routine may be activated this evening when the Moon squares Uranus. Boredom can sweep over us like a giant wave of energy that can be disruptive to us, making us lose focus and sight of the bigger picture. It’s not the best day to make and financial deals or decisions. However, our energy can instead be used to look into ways of improving our financial security. It’s okay to want to be in your own world today, just don’t stay there. The Moon in Aquarius favors social activity, but for today just find one thing that makes you happy and focus on that.

Thursday, July 18, 2019

The moon is still in the humanitarian sign of Aquarius. Our intuitive levels are high, making is fully aware of the motivations of others, as well as their dishonesty. We might feel more compassion than usual for the well-being of others and rush to the aid of those in need of assistance. Acts of kindness towards others go a long way in making us feel good. What might initially feel like an obligation can result in a great boost of confidence and self-esteem.
Discussions today carry the air of seriousness; we might prefer conversations on philosophy and politics, yet we hold firm to our viewpoints. There can be combativeness with those making demands of us, so remain calm and open-minded. Your own rigidness could make you self-righteous and commanding to others. You would do well and gain extra perspective if you’re willing to consider someone else’s point of view. There could be periodical restlessness of the mind today because of too many details coming in at once. Step back a little to refocus on the bigger picture. I wouldn’t even advise on making any commitments at this time, as there is a chance of not being able to fulfill them if you are spreading yourself thin. Get your thoughts together, rearrange a future schedule but keep it open for today.

Friday, July 19, 2019

While most of us slept, Mercury Retrograde left Leo and entered the sign of Cancer, bringing us back to processing and expressing ourselves on a deeper emotional level. We are inclined now to listen with understanding than we are with speaking to be heard. Although chances for mishaps and misunderstandings surrounding the home and family life are likely to happen, this can be a good time to reconcile with family we haven’t spoken to in a while. The moon spends most of the day in Aquarius activating our sense of freedom and inclination towards solitude and then enters the compassionate sign of Pisces at 5:18 PM EDT later today. We could be in for a busy evening later on that may compel us to ignore matters we deem important but too difficult to take on. We must avoid reacting harshly without stopping to consider the current mood we’re in. Instead of being petty, try being more considerate. Self introspection can help us to find balance in our reactions. Needs are especially highlighted today; you are coming more into the realization of what’s important to you. Don’t be afraid to assert your will and take a stand for what matters to you; and be confident in rejecting what doesn’t or no longer works for you. The Moon in Pisces marks the end of a lunar cycle. It can be good for winding down and being meditative, imaginative and creative. It might be good to skip the Friday night plans for a relaxing bath instead and making it a Netflix night.

Saturday, July 20, 2019

The Moon is in dreamy and intuitive sign of Pisces. This morning we wake up mentally sharp. More and more each day since the lunar eclipse we’re seeing our needs come to the surface. Today could be a day to give some consideration to those needs that might be needing attention. Throughout the morning and early afternoon, we may experience some crankiness. Dive into the depths of Piscean moon energy this morning by doing reflective or Ma work to tap into your inner power and use that force within you. There is an expressive and creativity spirit locked away in many of us now and it’s looking to escape to run free and be original. It’s a good day to challenge yourself, go ahead and play with a new idea. Be it around the household or in your personal life; you could find this new idea able to replace something you’ve been doing for the longest now. It’s time to put an old tradition to rest or way of thinking to rest. This evening a minor aspect between the Moon and Mars can make us irritable and stir up combativeness. We can blame it on the heatwave, while still taking taking the feelings of others into consideration
today. Minor obstacles today might serve as a good reminder to plan ahead and be prepared for any future challenges. Try something new or do one thing differently today. Step outside of your comfort zone and get to know your inner child again.

Sunday – July 21, 2019

This day will be filled with intensity and nervous energy thanks to the conjunction between the Sun and Mercury at 8:34 am. We feel a need to communicate and share ideas. By midday our minds can start to wander, making us distracted and in need of stimulation. Our thoughts are clearer and move rapidly by this afternoon. Creative energy levels are high, but our capacity to concentrate and focus on serious matters such as business and finance, not so much. The early morning opposition that Venus makes to Pluto stirs intensity throughout the day with power plays, manipulation, and scare tactics. There is a desire to control others that can result in confrontations and combativeness. Emotional upsets may occur in relationships. It will be hard to find a middle ground; one person wants to dominate a situation and the other person reluctant to being controlled or giving up their power. Choose your words carefully at this time, for they can be used against you later on. Mercury rules speech, and while minds may be sharp today, the tongue can be even sharper. We’re still under the retrograde until the 31st, so be careful not to say things you could regret later on. The Moon is still in Pisces and will be there all day, requiring us to make time for deep reflection. New ideas might hit us like epiphanies. It’s a good day to seek pleasure and enjoy the company of others. People will enjoy your company, you will enjoy theirs and could even find some inspiration through strangers. Even if you’re feeling in a rut, stepping out of your comfort zone will make your day!

Capricorn Lunar Eclipse – July 16/17, 2019

On Tuesday, July 16th 2019, we have the Full Moon in Capricorn in 24 degrees occurring as a partial lunar eclipse. Eclipses are important events as they bring changes in our lives as well as transformation. While the effects of a solar eclipse might last longer, lunar eclipses are just as important and can feel heavier and emotional. Usually, we hear about people acting out and going crazy under a full moon. It might be different now as this lunar eclipse falls under the Cancer-Capricorn axis which we’ve been enduring the energy of since mid-2018. Capricorn is committed to working hard and is very steadfast on achieving. Under this eclipse energy which casts a shadow over the Sun, the dark side of Capricorn can come to the surface. But now even the most resolute amongst us may be wondering if it’s even worth it. I’ve done it myself a few times this year with this astrology path, despite the many vows I’ve made to myself about it.

Check this out; we have Pluto, which deals with death and rebirth, regeneration, and probably the most significant planet involved in our evolution process. Then there’s the South Node (and it’s opposite called the North Node), which is technically not a planet, but rather mathematical points that signify our life’s purpose. The South Node holds challenges that we face and need to overcome in this lifetime. It also contains gifts from our past lives that we must develop. They are also, both in Capricorn will be conjunct the full moon during the eclipse on the 16th (17th if you’re on the other side of the world reading this – if you are, that’s just awesome!). So what does it mean? Well, only that powerful transformations and deep reflections in the sector of work, career paths, home, and family. Family, is not just those people related to you through blood, rather the people that your soul feels most comfortable and at home with. So these are the areas being deeply affected at this time in many of our lives, while the North & South Nodes are both in Cancer and Capricorn respectively.

Intense feelings at this time can feel burdensome and exhausting. Circumstances such as where you’re at in life, if you’ve chosen the right path and pursuing the right education. Could be that family life is getting to you. You might be contemplating if marriage is or was the right decision to make; or maybe you’re conflicted between your work and your family and realize you’ve been dedicated more time to one at the expense of the other. Unemployment could be causing anxiety, or too many job duties may be wearing you down. Perhaps, there’s a dire financial situation causing you stress. Whatever the problem, the solution can be found in letting go. I’m not saying to give up, but I am saying to release your tight grip and overthinking about the situation and trust in the Universe. Eclipses, especially when they involve the outer planets, bring necessary changes to our lives on a global and collective level. At this time we aren’t just changing as individuals, if you look around you will notice that the world is changing around you and at times your perspective goes right along with it. But get this; if you take an even closer look you might begin to notice that the current events mirror the same theme in your own life. Structures are breaking down, and there is a resistance to change taking effect. Old patriarchal ideas and traditions are being challenged and new rules and regulations are being formed against that. Almost like how many of us are resisting changes that we know are necessary for our progress but we’re afraid to take a leap in fear of leaving what we’re familiar with behind or losing our sense of security.

That brings me to Saturn. Saturn rules how we develop the structures and seek stability in our lives. Its needs are to feel safe, secure and resourceful. Saturn is aligned with the South Node and is another main culprit to what’s wearing us down. Saturn gets a bad rep but it is one of my favorite planets to work with because it regulates our behavior – challenges us when we’re not living up to our potential and rewards us when we are. As I said before about the South Node being tied to past lives, if that’s not your thing then understand that it’s about being stuck in the past. With Saturn’s influence activates logic more than it does emotions. At this time we are feeling a pull between them both, yet pressure and obligations leave us feeling time (Saturn) constrained to give much thought to our problems and they fall by the wayside to be forgotten. I mean, you can keep it moving indeed, but that situation will certainly present itself again.

Another planet to consider also is Mercury, which represents how we think and communicate. It also signifies how we connect with others, process information we receive, and learn. Around the time of the eclipse on Tuesday the Moon and Mercury will be opposite to each other and there will be intense introspection on whether we are truly expressing ourselves to be understood and if our needs are precisely being met. Mercury could be pulling up our past memories and sparking the emotional processing within us. We are drawn back to childhood experiences that shaped us. The Universe might be asking to hear your personal story. Do you know it? Have you sorted it out yet? This eclipse is asking us to return back and reclaim our inner child. In doing so much to nurture and protect ourselves from painful experiences, we are prone to leave behind the inner child that bounces back from falling, ready to do it again. Go back and reclaim that spontaneity. Venus opposite Saturn may be pulling us towards our safe-place, do all that reflection in there; be it through journal writing, meditation, counseling – just find your center and get what you need.

Eclipses normally feel like they speed up time. People are impulsive, quick to react and make hasty decisions. At times, something we were expecting way down the line in the future, gets pushed up to an earlier date due to unforeseen situations. Life comes at you fast during a pair of eclipses. However, we are currently having a retrograde season with six of the cosmic entities currently retrograde. We’re well aware on how retrogrades can distort things, but the planet is actually moving slower than usual. This has an effect on everything related to it. During this time now, time might feel like forever for something you’re waiting on, or it could be just flying by if you’re the most and not paying attention. In either case, both situations suggest you devoting too much time overthinking instead of focusing. In another case, you might feel like time has caught up finally and that it’s too late, and this could cause an emotional breakdown. There is no better time than now to seek out therapy if it’s possible, as the past can resurface much too frequently at the worst time, causing inner turmoil and frustration in our lives.

With the planets involved in this eclipse cycle there is bound to be some truths that will be painful to swallow, but it is the realization that will come after that that is really the key that unlocks another door to your growth. Believe in yourself that whatever obstacle you might face at this time is only building up your endurance and confidence. We each occasionally have that one experience that we think we’ll never recover from. The dissolution of romance can make people feel like they’ll never find love again. The demise of a longstanding friendship can make us never want to get as close to anyone again. The loss of a decent paying job can feel like the end of the world. In any event, a new opportunity or chance to start over eventually comes along restoring and enforcing the faith and confidence we have of ourselves. In this way we can pave the way for others to find themselves.

The Full Moon Eclipse event will occur on Tuesday, July 16th in the sign of 24 degrees Capricorn at approximately 5:38 PM EDT. Proceeding the eclipse, the moon will be void-of-course from 5:39 PM EDT until 5:17 AM the next day.

Wednesday, July 3, 2019

Now that the weight of the Moon in Cancer and yesterday’s eclipse has passed, some of that intense energy still lingers today and we can be a little testy. Senses are heightened but is suspicion and paranoia. Now I know how much of a call-out culture we’re in today, but if you can just hold on a little longer to air someone out and tell them about their self, it’s highly recommended that you get the facts and sort them out first. Simply put, don’t show your hand until you’re sure you will win. Venus will enter Cancer this morning at 11:18 AM EDT. Venus in Cancer raises our emotional awareness and sensitivity. We become affectionate and very tender with the ones we care for and somewhat passive with the ones we don’t. We’re more likely to stick with what and who we know right now, to feel a sense of security and protect ourselves with familiarity. We’re more attached to our close friends and partners under this transit and even become domesticated in some ways – don’t be surprised if you suddenly want to do a home renovation or cook a big Sunday dinner and have family over. During this transit, be sure to bond and enjoy life with your children if you have any, OR call your mom and see how she is doing, how things are going for her. Ask her questions about her life – show her that you care for her.

What a great day for a Leo Moon! The Moon in Leo loves a celebration and a chance to enjoy itself. With its contact to Uranus in the morning, we start the day with rebellious energy. Routines and obligations take the back seat as we aren’t here for concentrating so heavily today. Moods are testy, the energy is nervous. How better to alleviate that moody tension than with some hang time with some friends? If you’re having trouble pinning down what your mood is in need for – stimulation is the right answer. Uranus needs the unusual and you’re in need of something different today. Things at home will demand our attention this evening. Stay alert.

Friday, July 5, 2019

Happy Friday, the Moon is still in the sign of Leo all day. Leo Moons wants us to shine and encourage others to do the same. Our emotions are ruled by a sense of security and stability and seek a creative way to express itself. There’s a spark of romance in the air, and we might be in the mood to socialize today. Get to know anyone a little more before making a commitment in anything. Remember a retrograde approaches us, and things started have a slim rate of success to last. Plus it’s a void of course day; which means anything began will not have much of an effect. It’s a still and calming day for most of us. Today we want to give love and get love. It’s a good day to put yourself out there. Go ahead and self-promote or start that new creative project you’ve been flipping over in your mind. Don’t get wrapped in the opinions of others today and don’t hesitate to go for what you want – AFTER you’ve given it thought. Just please don’t take forever to think about it!

Weekly Outlook for June 24 -30, 2019

Monday – June 24, 2019

We’re setting off the week under playful and fanciful Pisces Moon. The moon in Pisces tends to make us more meditative, shy and laid-back. With the square between Venus and Neptune yesterday this period of reflection gets enhanced even more. The good thing about it is that we are really accepting of the outcomes. The Venus/Neptune transit has us examining our relationships, not so much in a bad way, but rather in a way that promotes growing together as one. We look at the areas that need improvement or where we could do better. Don’t take your honey asking questions about where you’re headed together as a couple as a sign of them being unhappy – much the opposite. Don’t become combative if asked about where you stand and if you’re doing the asking don’t be overly-sensitive to what you hear. It’s a time of healing and strengthening now which goes for everyone around us, so be considerate that your partner might be feeling as uneasy as you are when it comes to their role in your life. Don’t feed into insecurities that may arise now. You should instead be reflecting on the person whom you’re becoming or how far you’ve made it together in a loving union. The moon going into Aries tonight and will activate a particular determination in us. Use that energy to accept yourself and assert yourself in your interactions with others.

Tuesday, June 25, 2019

We are waking up to the new energy of the moon in Aries today. Passion is the drive in many of us right now as we rise up to deal with any challenges. The moon in Aries gives a sense of achieving the possible, being unafraid of taking risks and also a determination to move on. That sort of attitude falls right in line with the third quarter moon phase that just began this morning which favors forgiveness and letting go. A challenge may arise that could put you in the position of forgiving. Aries moon makes our principles strong and brings out the warrior in us to stand and fight for what we believe in. That said, interactions can become combative. It would be best not approach everything as an attack to what we believe in and be mature in how we communicate and handle things during this lunation. While being compassionate and open-hearted, this lunation brings out a degree of selfishness that makes it best to work alone than in a group. Put that work towards your future goals and in using the gifts you were born with to make it happen.

Wednesday, June 26, 2019

Well, I certainly can’t say the day won’t be an interesting one. The moon is in Aries all day and will make challenging aspects to Saturn in the morning and to Pluto by the evening. In the early hours we might find it hard to connect to others. Feelings of loneliness and isolation can make you closed off and cold, this can come as fluctuations throughout the day from the smallest actions of others and minor mishaps that cause frustration. Do not dwell on what you can’t control today and do not give in to defeat by an obstacle. Instead, spend time with loved ones by opening up and sharing your feelings, do something for someone that shows you care, this can be a day of forming some friendships, and relationships can thrive. Moon in Aries gives us a warm heart and very protective of loved ones and the downtrodden. Use this energetic moon energy today towards goodwill, before it slows us down when it moves into Taurus in the morning. Mercury moves from Cancer and into bold and expressive Leo tonight, for a short time we will be expressing ourselves more dramatically and mental processes will be on the creative wave. It won’t be long though because on July 7th, Mercury will retrograde and be back in Cancer again on July 19th, giving us another dose of personal communication and emotional responses in a much more reactive way. Mercury retrograde will end on July 31st. Godspeed.

‘The moon enters the sensual sign of Taurus this morning around 9:31 AM EDT. Our senses are heightened now, normally this would be a time for focusing on matters that require patience. Yet, today can get pretty intense in the emotional realm …. While most of us slept, Venus formed a quincunx to Pluto, waking us up unexplainable feeling of stress looming. The Sun sextile to Uranus early this afternoon at 1:45 PM EDT will bring a state of revitalizing energy, making us want to break free from our normal routine. Physical and mental stamina becomes charged and is ready for action. We can experience some delightful surprises and chance encounters between today and tomorrow. Do your damn best to hold onto this feeling throughout this day. Questions of self-identity and our purpose in life are brought up this afternoon when the Sun aspects Chiron. We assess matters of whether or not we are expressing ourselves effectively and if we are living up to our own expectations of ourselves. Our creativity or productivity may feel stifled creating frustration with authority that might present itself from a clash of egos. By keeping your ego in check you are setting an example for others to follow. Events could arise tonight that flip our whole outlook of relationships to others – for better or worse. Your best bet is to follow your instincts, trust your gut, and be spontaneous
today. Overthinking an option or solution results in disasters that could have been avoided. This day isn’t even as ominous as it sounds and should viewed more so as a thrilling ride or the possibility of an adventurous day, than anything else. Express yourself and be open to these new experiences ahead.

Friday, June 28, 2019:

With yesterday’s rollercoaster adventure now over, we can now get into a full day of enjoying the comforts of this Taurus moon. We feel more grounded today as our mental fortitude is high, and our patience is steady. We have the focused energy we need to finish our work duties and relax afterwards. There is more pleasure to be found at home than there is to be found in the social atmosphere. Take pleasure in relaxing, dolling up, smelling good after a nice bath, cooking up a nice meal and enjoying it with your close ones. Do something pampering to clear your mental headspace from this demanding workweek.

Sunday, June 30, 2019:

Relax and breathe. Take it light today. The Moon is in Gemini scattering our thoughts but stimulating our minds nonetheless. It’s a good day to catch up on any correspondence activities. Write a letter, answer emails, clear your inbox, make calls, engage on social media, hang out with friends. All the stuff that engages in communicating, get into it and enjoy as much as you can. With all this heavy and intense energy in the air right now, it’s good to remember to stop and get in tune with breathing, unclench the jaw and relax the shoulders. The Moon is sextile to Chiron, bringing up questions of self-identity, we’re being comforted by the cosmos right now to grow in a pleasant way, rather than feeling a sense of inner turmoil. Greater self-awareness comes from this aspect. We can tap into our inner warriors now and find the determination we need to change things. There is an intuitive force suggesting to you now that things can be alright, and you can reserve the right to change your mind. The Moon also in aspect to the Moon will bring subconscious emotions to the surface. You’ll be better off channeling the dark feelings of this transit in something creative as a form of expression. Pour your heart into a journal, make a vision board, create a playlist that expresses this moon, plan the future with optimism. Don’t let this day get you down.
