After some super intense astrology earlier in August, we finally get to enjoy some calm. Thankfully, Mercury stations direct on August 28th and hopefully brings some clarity and decisiveness. It's Virgo season, and the Sun in this discerning and thoughtful part of the sky encourages us to get back to the rituals and routines that sustain us. It's a calm week in the heavens, but Venus is in conversations with Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto - all the outer planets. It's a good time to get clear with y...

This is one of the most intense weeks of astrology in 2024! The best thing you can do is take care of yourself. I'm talking: drink water, eat enough food, take deep breaths, sleep... If you are taking care of the basics it will be easier to ride the waves of cosmic change. We've got almost all the planets connecting in two different T-squares that shake up the energy and pave the way for some big shifts. Of course, the crescendo of this energy will be Monday, August 19th when the Full Moon in Aq...

August hosts some of the most intense astrology of 2024. It all starts this weekend with a New Moon in Leo and Mercury Retrograde. The New Moon in Leo is charged up by a sextile to Mars and Jupiter. It's like having the hand of the Universe at your back, pushing you to gather the belief in yourself so that you can go out and take action to make your desires a reality. With Venus at 29 degrees of the same sign, Leo, she is helping you finally believe that you are worthy of receiving what you real...

In this week’s episode I get into the questions I know you are asking - what do the planets say about what is going on with Trump and Biden? I don’t often get into politics, but when I do we go deep!

It's a holiday week in the States, but that isn't the only reason we're all moving a little more slowly. Saturn and Neptune both station to retrograde, making the air feel heavy (thanks to Saturn) and murky (thanks to Neptune).

The Sun has ingressed into Cancer, marking the beginning of both Cancer season and the summer! Cancer, ruled by the moon, invites us to focus on nurturing ourselves and others. It’s a time for self-care, exploring our emotional world, and finding where we truly feel at home. The full moon at 1 degree Capricorn on Friday, June 21st is a powerful moment for reflecting on where you might need to firm up boundaries and where you might need to soften and be a little more tender.

Uranus has his fingerprints all over this week. As Uranus is one of the outer planets we can’t see with the naked eye, he’s encouraging us to transcend our current situation somehow. Finally, the week wraps up with a New Moon in Pisces.

Mercury stations to resume forward motion. We may have had Venus and Mercury retrograde for much of the summer, but things have still been moving super fast! Usually retrogrades encourage a slowdown, but with Mercury in his favorite sign of Virgo, the past 3 weeks have felt jam-packed. Hopefully, it has helped you tie up lots of loose ends and bring new systems to your work or household. Making order out of chaos is Virgo’s gift to the world. Right before Mercury stations the New Moon in Virgo a...
