Unfurling Your Wings: Embracing Spiritual Independence in July 2024
As the summer sun bathes the world in its warmth, July offers a potent opportunity for personal growth – a chance to explore and cultivate spiritual independence. Think of it as the butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, spreading its wings, and taking flight on its unique journey. Independence is important across all the bodies. Since we know our true selves, our choices are the most important.
Astrology for February 2023
Happy Birthday, Pisces People! We’re coming into your month to focus on what makes us FEEL - is it art, music, poetry, spiritual connections. Let’s talk about how February plays out for you in Pisces style.
A chance to create harmonious relationships
Let’s talk about Juno. She’s the partner, committed and out of the dating scene. Juno (Hera) was married to Jupiter (Zeus) so we can imagine that relationship had its ups and downs. But Juno stood by Jupiter, even with all his shenanigans.
Use that strong voice!
On March 27, Mercury the planet of communication drifts romantically from the sign of Pisces into the powerful passionate Aries energy. We’re going from a Water sign (Pisces) to a Fire Sign (Aries). We are not going to be shy in expressing how we feel and why should we? Aren’t conversations one of the ways we understand each other and break through obstacles?
A reminder of who you are
With Chiron being in Aries, the focus is how things are affecting your perception of yourself. It’s time to become the leader of your life if that’s not where you are.
Trust that intuition
It’s like Jupiter knows we need a party - right before the new year, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and excess moves into the sign of Pisces. Pisces helps us to escape and connect with the spiritual and ethereal.
Jupiter wants us to explore our dreams, art, music, poetry and the Spiritual. If you take anything from this blog, TRUST YOURSELF AND YOUR GUT.
What’s going on with the Love Lady?
Venus Retrograde is asking us to go in and see what our values are. What do we want from relationships? How do we feel about ourselves?
Sparks Fly!
What a great time of year for Mars to move into the fiery sign of Sagittarius. That strong Mars action taker wants to run off and have fun!
Smooth (voice) Operator
Be ready to communicate in ways that can be detailed and proven. Your message will be so much better received. There will be opportunities to say what you need to say - take them! They might not come back around.
Are your commitments solid?
Juno, the asteroid (a minor planet) of marriage and love, moves into the sign of Capricorn on November 14th. Now you may be asking yourself - “Wait, isn’t Venus all about love?” or “I thought Mars told me how my desires came into reality? And...doesn’t this tell me who I’m sexually compatible with?”
Let’s talk about that.
Saturn goes direct in Aquarius
Since May 23, 2021, Saturn has been moving backwards or was in Retrograde. Retrograde planets make us look internally at what is happening and slows us down to work through it.
Mercury goes Direct in Libra
Oh Mercury Retrograde. As much as we like to say it doesn’t/won’t affect us, it has a sneaky way of showing up in our day to day. This retrograde was in the harmonious sign of Libra. How was your past three weeks?
Lucky Logic! Hello Jupiter.
Jupiter, the planet of luck, expansion, growth and excess, finally starts moving direct on October 17th, 2021. The biggest planet is waking up and getting back to full power. Don’t you think Jupiter will be ready to go when he comes out of his slumber? Count on it. Jupiter is ready to move and this benefits you in the best of ways.
Adventures and fun in love!
Things are lightening up, though, because Venus the planet of love and beauty is fun loving and free in Sagittarius. What will you notice this time? Venus wants to be free and have adventures.
Retrogrades Require Inward Reflection: Ceres Goes Retrograde in Gemini & Taurus
In these blogs, I like to tell you about how the energy will be affecting your mood and actions. Astrology allows us to navigate those energies as best for us and those we love. I like to highlight asteroids, also known as mini-planets, so you can know more details about you and your astrological chart. So let’s discuss Ceres, the asteroid (or mini-planet) of mothering, nurturing and how we care for others. She also rules the harvest and growth.
Your Sacred Calling Wants Your Attention
Be excited about the revelations to come. This will put you on the path to a more fulfilling life. Whatever is in your heart can become even more prevalent in your life. Discover and listen to what your true purpose is. If you do the work, it will be life changing.
Love Transformation!
Love Transformation! Let’s talk about relationships. Why? Venus the planet of love, beauty and self-worth is taking some time with the mysterious and intense Scorpio. There may be some wild-side walking over the next few weeks because Scorpio wants to get to the depths and isn’t afraid to go to those places or secrets we want to hide.
Be the Balanced Leader
Since July 29th, Mars was in the sign of Virgo. The action planet was working hard with creating routines and habits to move your health and work goals forward. Starting September 14th, we see Mars moving over to spend time with the lovely Libra. Mars wants action and is in touch with their passions. Libra wants balance and harmony. Libra is an air sign so its strengths are communication, discussion and negotiation.
Negotiation at it’s finest (and a Retrograde to boot!): Mercury enters Libra
Mercury moves into Libra on Tuesday, August 31st. Mercury is the planet of communication, commerce, travel and mechanics. When you add the air sign of Libra, it gives us the chance to express ourselves in a way to bring people together. Is there someone you need to convince you have a good idea? This is the time.
Perspective and Reflection is on Your Agenda
Trailblazer. Rebel. Unconventional. Freedom. Chaos. Here is our Uranus. Practical. Earthy. Grounded. Possessive. That’s our Taurus. Re-visit. Re-consider. Re-vise. That’s when a planet goes retrograde.
