EP 117: Full Moon in Gemini + Venus Retrograde

On Saturday the last Full Moon of 2021 arrives in Gemini and helps us say goodbye to eclipse season. It also brings you one final opportunity to forgive someone or release something that has been on your mind since the North Node entered Gemini in Spring 2020. Venus will retrograde in Capricorn on Sunday. She is stuck in a conjunction with Pluto that is putting quite a damper on this festive season.

On the heels of last weekend’s Solar Eclipse, we get some fresh, optimistic, and motivating energy.

EP 115: Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius

On Saturday, December 4th, the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius arrives. It’s the final eclipse in this series that began in June 2020. Think about all that you’ve learned since then about your truth and how you communicate it to others. With the South Node in the sign of the law and the North Node in the sign of communication, our society has been reckoning with some seriously outdated beliefs, but so have you!

EP 113: New Moon in Scorpio

The New Moon in Scorpio arrives on Thursday 11/3 and brings with it an intensity that will force you to make the changes you need to make. The New Moon forms a T-Square with Uranus and Saturn, triggering the underlying frustration and restlessness we’ve been feeling all year. This week feels like a breakthrough when the status quo becomes so unbearable that you just have to break free. Consider this the moment you’ve been waiting for - to change your plan, pivot, adjust or just say, “I quit.” An...

EP 112: Scorpio season is here

Your fears and fantasies might be coming up from the deepest layers of your psyche this week. It’s Scorpio season, of course, which means the ghosts of memories past and our loved ones who’ve passed on are on our minds. This is the time of year when the veil between the material realm and the spirit realm is thin, and thus you might be receiving some spiritual insights or messages. Announcing the Astro Cheat Sheet!

This week Mercury is officially retrograde. While you excavate the root cause of the issue at hand, you also get to formulate a brilliant solution as to how you will handle it going forward.

EP 108: Fall Equinox + Mercury Retrograde

Wednesday is the Fall Equinox, aka the day the Sun enters Libra, Fall begins, and it’s completely OK to wear a chunky sweater and order a pumpkin spiced latte regardless of the temperature outside. You might find that this Libra season brings up some old ghosts, emotional patterns, or behaviors you’ve exhibited in past relationships thanks to Mercury retrograding through the Libra part of your natal chart. Yep, good ol’ Mercury is back to his tricks. He will be retrograding on September 27th, bu...

EP 107: Mars enters Libra + Full Moon in Pisces

This week kicks off in a haze as the Sun opposes Neptune, ruler of all things nebulous. Luckily this is the last of these Neptune oppositions for now, as the Sun is pulling up the rear of the inner planet conga line. Mars enters Libra this week, not his happy place, but sometimes the Lord of assertive action needs to take a seat and work on his negotiating skills. On Monday, September 20th, we have a Full Moon in Pisces! Something I'm obsessed with : @Mosheh on Instagram Announcing the Astro Che...

EP 106: Time to process + Venus enters Scorpio

This week the planets are actually quiet! I think that is the first time I’m saying that since I started the Essential Astrocast in 2019. The week kicked off with the New Moon in Virgo in a harmonious trine to Uranus, the change maker. Uranus has been causing a lot of fuss lately, but this New Moon chart indicates it’s time to embrace the changes underfoot. That doesn’t mean that you accept injustice, mistreatment, or abuse. It means you recognize it’s there and you make a plan to be a part of d...

EP 105: Virgo Season + Pluto/Eris Square

Mercury enters Libra, the sign of the peacemaker. Win-win negotiations are finally possible again. You might have some confusion about what you want though, because Mars opposes Neptune, the ruler of fog, on Thursday. This transit could make you feel frustrated, disappointed in your current circumstances, overwhelmed, or just flat out emotionally exhausted by the state of the world. I’m with you. When you’re feeling helpless, especially during Virgo season, it’s an invitation to help someone els...

EP 104: Higher consciousness + USA history in Afghanistan

It’s the last week of Leo season and it’s going out with a bang. Not only do we have the second Full Moon in Aquarius within one Leo season, but we also have Uranus stationing retrograde! The Full Moon on Sunday is conjunct Jupiter, the planet of expansion, so expect some AHA moments, revelations, or illumination of your consciousness. I’ve been watching the events in Afghanistan unfold all week and it inspired me to take an astrological deep dive into the history of the USA’s involvement since ...

It’s a New Moon week, which means it’s that time of the month to turn inward, to reflect, and to turn up the volume on your inner voice.
