Essential Astrocast

On the heels of a heavy week, the heavens grant us a light week with very few planetary transits! There are no mistakes in astrology. Pisces season is the time for rest, meditation, and recalibrating your nervous system. In plain speak, we’re preparing to crawl out of winter hibernation, rub the sleep from our eyes, and take in the first signs of spring. This week is bookended by the Sun connectin...

All of the planets are currently focused in the final signs of the Zodiac from Capricorn through Pisces. We’re grappling with ideas like our purpose, how we fit in society, and what does it all mean?! You know, some heavy stuff! The New Moon in Pisces on Wednesday asks you to engage with the things that are not of the material realm: curiosity, wonder, faith, hope, inspiration. Luckily the moon is...

The first full week of Pisces season might inspire you to let go of whatever is feeling heavy, burdensome, or even dead energetically. With every ending, we make space for new beginnings and with Mars and Venus joining forces with Neptune, you’ll have the power to bring your dreams to life, assuming you have the faith to cast the vision.

Do you smell that? It’s love and commitment in the air this Valentine’s week! The Full Moon arrives in the sign of the heart, Leo. And on the same day, Venus meets Mars in the sign of commitment, Capricorn. This means that making long-term commitments to other people and yourself is just going to be a lot easier. Use your logic early in the week, because by the weekend the Sun will enter Pisces an...

Do you feel that? That’s the wind at your back, as the planets have ALL resumed forward motion. It feels like the news is chaotic with so much happening in the collective consciousness. Especially since last week brought our first hit of the USA's Pluto return. This week we get an electric current pushing us into the future, thanks to Mars in Capricorn working with Uranus in Taurus. With the ruler...

This week kicks off with a fresh New Moon in Aquarius giving you the restart you’ve been seeking. This is also known as the start of the Lunar New Year. We say goodbye to the Metal Ox, a representative of Saturn, and say hello to the Water Tiger, a representative of Uranus. In fact, this New Moon plays into the Saturn square Uranus transit we’ve been living with for the past year! You might finall...

If you’re feeling all the feels and simultaneously feeling so over it all, well then, you’re human. This week started with the Full Moon in Cancer and then we made a hard left into Aquarius season, a time for emotional detachment and gathering a rational birds-eye view of the situation at hand. Not to mention Uranus stationed to go direct. Did you feel the electric current of change on Tuesday? Th...

It’s that time again! Mercury retrogrades in Aquarius on Friday while in a square to tech ruler Uranus. Back up your phone, expect miscommunications, and give yourself the extra 5 minutes to get to your appointments. This week has a lot of Neptune activation adding a level of confusion and fatigue to the Mercury slow down. Consider this your cosmic permission slip to stay in bed. This weekend, you...

This week kicked off with a New Moon in Capricorn, just 2 days into the New Year. It’s a perfect time for a reset, but I don’t blame you if you’re still recovering from an emotional hangover. Venus is currently retrograde and Mercury is gearing up to retrograde on January 14th. This is a fantastic weekend to set your 2022 intentions. The Sun conjunct Venus illuminates what really important to you....

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 seaso...

On the heels of last weekend’s Solar Eclipse, we get some fresh, optimistic, and motivating energy. Venus joining Pluto on Saturday could give you the strategy to win the long-term game and Mars squaring Jupiter could give you the impulse to get it going.

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 belie...

Eclipse season is here! On Friday the Full Moon Lunary Eclipse in Taurus gives us another opportunity to release the old and integrate the new.

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 th...

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...

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.

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 nat...

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 hav...

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 injust...

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....

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.
