EP 87: Let Venus deliver the money + the miracles

The emotional Full Moon in Libra busted the gates of communication open in your partnerships. If you’ve been putting off an important chat with your lover, your Mom, or your boss - this is a great week to get to it and tie up those loose ends. The Sun and Venus will be traveling close together until mid-April, which means we’ll be reaping the benefits of their yearly date for a couple of weeks. This is the time to look at how you receive. Are you good at accepting compliments, money, love, forgi...

EP 86: The Sun meets Venus in Aries + a Libra Full Moon

The week kicks off with Mercury square Mars, making us all cranky, tense, and over it all! Luckily, the Sun has his yearly rendezvous with Venus which brings clarity and purification to our relationships and money. It also allows Venus to leave her post as a fierce morning star Goddess and reclaim her throne as a romantic evening star Goddess. In other words, turn down the Rihanna and turn up the Taylor Swift. We finish out the weekend with a Full Moon in Libra on Sunday illuminating some decisi...

EP 83: Release your grip + trust the process

Things are finally picking up speed! Without any planets retrograde until late Spring you can feel the momentum. The Full Moon in Virgo last week may have put you in the mood to purge your closet or your pantry. Now that you've shaken off that stale, old energy it's time to embrace the changes afoot. It can be hard to release the tight grip you've been holding since early 2020, but the lesson that this year holds for you is to let go, relax into what's happening, and trust the process.

This week you get a fresh perspective from the New Moon in Aquarius, along with the blessing of a Venus and Jupiter date in the sky. If only Valentine's Day were on Thursday!

EP 79: Tensions rise in Aquarius + Taurus

As if things couldn’t get more intense! With 5 planets in Aquarius squaring Mars and Uranus in Taurus it’s hard to see eye to eye. Not only because you’re trying to make eye contact over Zoom, but because the planets are digging in their heels and so is everyone else.

EP 78: Full Moon in Leo + Mercury Retrograde (again!)

The Mars/Uranus conjunction is still looming making things feel unstable. With 4 planets in Aquarius, one of them being Mercury about to retrograde, you can expect the unexpected this week and in the weeks to come. We're still adjusting to this unsteady, but exciting, air energy of Aquarius. You may have the instinct to cling to the stability that you've known, even if it wasn't the healthiest relationship, but the time has come to take a brave step forward into the next chapter. If you're feeli...

EP 77: Sun enters Aquarius, Mars meets Uranus

It’s official. It’s a new dawn, a new day, and we’ve got a new President! The inauguration was held under a void moon, on the heels of the Great Conjunction, with Mars approaching his meet up with Uranus. Mars is the force that pushes us forward and Uranus likes to break stuff. Not surprising that these two met up on the day when the glass ceiling finally was shattered and Madam Vice President Kamala Harris became the highest-ranking elected woman in US history. There is plenty of astrology to c...

EP 76: First New Moon of the New Year

A New Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto, with Mercury square Uranus and Mars square Saturn! Is it just me? Or are you tired too? Yep, this New Moon isn’t as New Moon-y as I’d like, but it is offering a cathartic opportunity to integrate the wisdom of 2020, while you mourn the many losses, and make space for what you want to commit to in 2021 and beyond.

EP 74: The Great Conjunction

This week Saturn and Jupiter say so long to traditional Capricorn and say hello to futuristic, innovative Aquarius.

EP 73: Halfway between eclipses

This week our imagination runs wild, but our ability to discern is low. The Sun squares Neptune, Lord of illusion and delusion, making you second guess yourself. Luckily, the Sun in Sagittarius has a firey meetup with Mars on Thursday giving you a boost of self-confidence, but since these transits are overlapping it might add up to an ego overload. On Monday the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius helps us initiate the end of eclipse season and release the stale, old beliefs that no longer ali...

Ep 72: Lunar Eclipse in Gemini revealing all the truths

This week kicks off with a Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Gemini. With Neptune squaring the nodes, we're all having sleep issues, whether it's insomnia, exhaustion, or vivid dreams. Venus will be harmonizing with Neptune later in the week, causing you to put on your rose-colored glasses.

This week Venus squares off with the Capricorn cluster of Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter. Your mind may be on your money or perhaps on your relationships. This can be a week when your control issues or distrust of authority get triggered. Double down on your self-care and use the last few days of the Sun in Scorpio to reflect on all the transformation you've experienced in 2020.

EP 69: Reset with the New Moon in Scorpio

The week ends with a much needed reset as the New Moon in Scorpio helps you express your true needs and desires. Before you get there you might experience a few disagreements when Venus opposes Mars and Mercury moves into sharp tongued Scorpio. That’s not all! Mars stations to move direct this week, awaking from his 2-month nap. And Jupiter has one final date with Pluto before he says so long for another 12 years.

EP 65: Power dynamics + RBG's birth chart

This week is marked by Mars square Pluto. Mars is still cranky on his retrograde journey, so this is no time for Pluto to come getting in his way! But alas, he will, and you will feel that power struggle. Notice where confrontation erupts this week. You can use this energy for good by moving your body, honoring your desires, and focusing on your goals. One woman that knows a little something about power is the Notorious RBG.

It must be that Mercury just went into Scorpio and my mind is so focused on all the ways Mercury in the sign of the investigator is digging up the truth, including you know who's tax scam.

Be careful where you step! This week you might happen on a great idea or happen upon an epic fight with your partner. Hard to say.
