When Your Heart is Weak
As we move through these last days of Libra season, Venus has some notable aspects to highlight. Having its second Pluto Square (first one on Sept 15) as it goes retrograde through the sign of Scorpio. Venus and Mercury have been giving us Scorpio vibes before Scorpio season officially begins.…

An Astrological Rorschach Test
Happy Libra Equinox everyone! It feels like I’m experiencing an Astrological Rorschach test! Every time I look at this week’s transit chart, I’m seeing something different. This happens from time to time, of course - depending on which placements and aspects you’re looking at, you take on that...
-
Assignment of Refinement
We have a Virgo New Moon this week! I’ve been gradually feeling into Virgo season, how about you? After the Lunar Eclipse I was sifting through all sorts of different feelings, bringing up some delays and dismays. Leading right into last week’s Mars (in Cancer) square with Saturn (in Aries)....

Your Divine Intuition
After an eventful Leo season and recent Solar Eclipse, we’ve entered Virgo season and a Lunar Eclipse is upon us. The Solar Eclipse brought a strengthening energy - potential for a powerful rebirth. Perhaps something developing stronger within you, pertaining to your life force, talents and...

Power Vs. Force
How was your experience with last week’s Solar Eclipse in Leo?! We’ve had such an up-roar-ious Leo season, there’s been lots of cool astrology to focus on. From looking at the bigger pictures, to then note simpler movements amongst the personal planets. Acknowledging how some transits might get...

Solar Eclipse in Leo!
So much is happening this Leo season! And a solar eclipse is upon us, Wednesday, August 12th. Occurring in Leo at 20° - so soon after the Moon’s nodes shifted to the Leo/Aquarius axis. How is this affecting you? Whether you have Leo and Aquarius placements or not, this is something you’ll want to...

Is the Boomer's Reign Coming to an End?
Last week, the moon’s nodes shifted to the Leo/Aquarius axis. With the North Node in Aquarius, you delve further into Aquarian-coded evolution. It acts as a compass point toward destiny. With navigational rotation, you can also look through the lens of the South Node to assess the karmic lessons...

Ongoing Astrology as an Emerging Story
With Jupiter in Leo, this Leo season has an even bigger roar. Inspiration radiating at high levels. Are you noticing awareness around what lights you up? As was noted with Barbault’s Basket configuration last week, when an astrology transit highlights notable aspects, it’s much more than just an...

A Cradle of Air and Fire
Let’s talk about Barbault’s Basket! Those into astrology are jubilant around this latest planetary configuration occurring this week. Four of the outer planets are forming what looks like a basket or a cradle. We could see it as a sacred trapezoid. These influences could be felt strongest from…

Where The Heart Is
There’s so much exciting astrology to talk about for the upcoming weeks, yet I feel called to acknowledge today’s new moon in Cancer first. As the moon is the ruler of the sign of Cancer, we must honor this new moon and what this brings for us, right? How will you be honoring this new moon? You…

Distinguishing AI-Generated Content
Hope you had a wonderful Solstice! I've been diving into the discussion around AI-generated content. My personal feed on IG and FB has continually given me reels and commentary that includes opinions for and against using AI-generated content. Which makes sense as I prefer to have commentary from...

Staggering Soft Launches

Having the AI Discussion
Been hearing a lot of talk about AI lately. Whether speculating about it in conversations, hearing about it on podcasts or gleaning commentary from random reels. Sure, the AI discussion is not new - it’s been on my radar for a while. I’m noticing it coming up more frequently though. So, I thought...

Diverging Thoughts & Split Emotions
This week’s astrology may have you split in multiple directions. Whatever directions show up for you, remember to go with the love and expansion! Yesterday, June 9th, brought us the Venus/Jupiter conjunction in Cancer. This aspect purports harmony, joy and cooperation. Can you allow your own...

Revisiting the Wounded Healer
After our beautiful Sagittarius Full Moon on Sunday, I’m feeling called to focus on another astrological centaur - Chiron! Until June 19th we have Chiron in Aries at 29° - the Anaretic degree enticing the culminating energies around the wounded healer. Chiron has been hanging out in Aries since...

Playing Your Emotional Soundtrack

Breakdown for the Breakthrough
With a full-on Aries season of a Fire Horse year, let’s welcome our Full Moon in Libra for necessary counterbalance.

At War with Desire

Intrinsic Acceptance
This week’s astrology gives us a lot to chew on. Our New Moon on March 18th will be our last Pisces New Moon with the North Node in Pisces. We also have Mars conjunct with a retrograding Mercury in Pisces, which may have brought up some old conflicts. These things may be slowing you do or…

Air Sign Grand Trine Harmony
Grand trine for the air signs! Woohoo! This week we’re basking in the breeziness of the Grand Trine of Venus in Libra, Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius. Which also creates a Kite formation, due to the Neptune in Aries opposition of Venus in Libra. If you have strong affinity to the air…
