Essential Astrocast

Is it just me, or do you have an eclipse hangover too? We've got the 2 eclipses in our rearview, but we're still in the portal of eclipse season. In this episode, I unpack what the eclipses meant, and how they will continue to reverberate in our lives. While you may be wrapping up a long-time lesson on valuing yourself, you are just beginning a class on healthy partnerships and boundaries that wil...

This Full Moon in Aries packs a punch. With help from some of the goddess asteroids, you might find that a long-fought struggle is finally resolved. On the other hand, you might see some new conflicts heat up. That's because this lunation kicks off eclipse season. Twice a year the eclipses create a portal of energy that fast tracks the changing currents in our lives. Put aside your desire to contr...

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 or...

We’re still in the midst of Mars retrograde in Gemini, and on December 29th the slowdown gets amplified by Mercury retrograding in Capricorn. I know, it’s not what you want to hear heading into the New Year. Take this Capricorn season to reflect, slow down, and feel your body. From that place of grounding in what is, you will be able to cast a vision for where you want to go. Events: veronicaperre...

This week the big news is the Full Moon in Gemini conjunct Mars, currently retrograde. Emotions will be running high, but don't worry if you say something you didn't mean, you can always take it back. Gemini is a changeable sign and with Mars retrograde in the sign of the twins whatever decisions you make now will need to be revisited in January, and maybe even again in March. Events: veronicaperr...

This week may have started off as an emotional tidal wave, but as the week comes to a close you might regain that pep in your step.

Last week you may have been caught off guard by the cosmic mash-up of Mars, Uranus, and the North Node. This week that electric energy gets reignited by the Full Moon in Aquarius and you may be feeling an urgency to get on the fast track to your hopes and dreams. This Full Moon is joined by Saturn, confirming that slow and steady does, indeed, get you where you want to be. Take a deep breath, paus...

The theme for this week is - WAKE UP! Whether it’s the climate crisis or your own personal circumstances, the planets are shaking us to come out of our sleep-walking state.

This week the planetary energy moves from mostly fire + air to mostly water + earth. After pushing energy outward and screaming at the top of our lungs, we dial it back, lick our wounds, and process our feelings. You can’t run at level 10 forever, sometimes you have to pull back, reset, and prepare for the battle ahead. Stay tuned at the end of the episode for more on the Pluto Return of the USA....

Emotions run high this week. The New Moon in Cancer occurs on Tuesday and it comes with a square to Jupiter, amplifying the emotional vulnerability inherent to any Cancer moon.

The Sun has entered the sign of Cancer and that means it’s the Summer Solstice; the halfway point of the year. This time of year is perfect for reflecting on what home means to you. Revisit and reconnect with the people with whom you feel the deepest sense of belonging and unconditional love.

With 4 planets in their home signs answering to no one, you’ve got all the tools you need to move forward and shake off the heavy burdens of eclipse season and Mercury retrograde. This Full Moon reminds you each year what is true. The symbol of Sagittarius is the archer pointing his arrow upward to the highest truth. If you’re honest with yourself and with others this week, things will move forwar...

Mars goes home to Aries and Venus goes home to Taurus. At the close of the week, Mars will be amplified by his meeting with Jupiter. Use the energy wisely and avoid any hotheads in your life. If you need to break through some walls of self-doubt or inertia this transit could give you the confidence and motivation to “just do it”.

Eclipse hangover anyone? The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio last Sunday was an intense excavation of your emotional state. Scorpio can be secretive and private. The energy of the Scorpion doesn’t show all its cards, so we might be unpacking this one for a while.

Jupiter enters Aries for the first time since 2011! I mentioned in April that you’re preparing to embark upon a heroine’s journey… Well, it’s finally arrived. Sort of. You see, we’re still in the eye of the storm, aka eclipse season.

On the heels of the Solar Eclipse, Venus enters Aries, and she’s coming in hot! This is not her favorite sign, as Aries is the sign of the warrior, not the lover. You can expect tempers to flare and passions to fly as Venus in Aries can be impulsive or aggressive.

Every 6 months we get to go on a magical, mystical ride courtesy of the eclipses. They come in pairs (sometimes triples), and always are a force for change. Sometimes the change is an internal shift, an aha moment. Sometimes the change is an obvious life event.

Jupiter and Neptune join together in Pisces for their every 13-year meet-up, but this is the first time since 1856 they are meeting in the sign of Pisces. This transit inspires you to dream bigger, feel deeper, and surrender even more. Easter weekend brings a potent Full Moon in Libra opposite the Sun in Aries, creating a T-Square with Pluto in Capricorn. Whenever Pluto is involved we’re invited t...

The theme of the week is small steps in a particular direction will take you far. This week began a new 2-year cycle thanks to Mars and Saturn. When these two planets join they favor concentrated efforts and small steps in a particular direction.  Sign up for the workshop: veronicaperretti.com/workshops Join Online Yoga Club: veronicaperretti.com/yoga Download the Astro Cheat Sheet, your companion...

This is the week our astrological New Year starts to get going. The zodiacal year technically begins at the Spring Equinox, but we don’t really feel that Aries style “get up and go” until the New Moon in Aries occurs.

Spring has officially sprung! And that means my Solar Return is upon us. When the Sun returns to the exact spot in the sky where it was when you took your first breath, you experience your solar return, aka your birthday.  The Sun entered Aries on Sunday and a new zodiacal year has officially begun. But before you get too excited, we still have Mercury caught in the waves of Pisces flow. But with...

Feeling foggy, spacey, caught in a time warp? Yup! It’s Pisces season, but not for much longer. With 4 planets in Pisces, it’s hard to motivate yourself to do anything, but that is OK, Pisces is the season for rest, sleep, dreams, and meditation. This Friday the Full Moon in Virgo puts a final exclamation point on the season of the two fish and Aries season kicks off on Sunday.  Join the Moon Memb...
