This week I've got something special for you. I recorded the workshop I hosted on December 29, 2019 " Dictate Your Fate: a workshop to prepare for 2020& beyond." This is the first hour of the workshop where I give you the download on all the major astrological happenings coming in 2020. We wrap up with a short meditation and some writing exercises to reflect on 2019 and anchor our intentions f...

We're experiencing a cosmically blessed Christmas! Why? Well, late on Christmas Day we'll be experiencing the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Capricorn. What's that mean? Well, a Solar Eclipse is like a new moon on steroids, and this one is conjunct Jupiter! Coincidentally, I like to call Jupiter the Santa Claus of the zodiac, you may have heard me say that on the Essential Astrocast before, and this ye...

This week Venus is caught in a threesome, or rather stuck between a rock and a hard place, aka Saturn and Pluto. In fact, her predicament plays a strong part in the Full Moon this Wednesday. Your relationship with your SO, your friends, or your money may have just hit a breaking point. How will you move forward? You can tidy up the mess and build a strong foundation to grow on in 2020, or you migh...

What’s the Sun in Sagittarius is saying right now? Capricorn, Capricorn, Capricorn. We’re all so consumed with what’s coming next year that we’re not giving our full attention to the present moment and where we’ve been. Yes we have some major astrology coming and Jupiter moving into Capricorn this week really sounds the alarm for us to get our sh*t together, BUT don’t let yourself go through this...

After a few weeks of intense astrology, this week is feeling quite harmonious. While we've got a New Moon in Sagittarius, Venus moving into Capricorn, and Neptune in a virtual standstill... We're able to be in the flow of the Universe. Perfect timing too since many of us will be sitting down to have dinner with our family on Thanksgiving. The New Moon on Tuesday will help us adjust some of our pla...

This week kicks off with Mars at 29 degrees Libra. Now, I’m not sad to see Mars move into Scorpio, but it does set the stage for a week of endings. When a planet is at 29 degrees of any sign it’s scraping the bottom of the hot chocolate to get that last bit of chocolatey goodness, it might be bittersweet, but it’s oh so satisfying. After weeks of feeling not so self-assured, or able to assert your...

This week the planets are giving us the opportunity to finally make those decisions we've been grappling with.  While we're still in Mercury retrograde, the planet of communication is traveling between us and the Sun, meaning our minds are sharp and the info we're receiving is clear. Mercury's harmonious aspects to Saturn make sure our decision making is sober and responsible. While the planet of...

This week is hot and heavy right off the bat with Mars making a challenging aspect to Pluto. If you can imagine that fine line between a hot date and a heated argument, then you know why my heart is pumping. With a little self-awareness and some help from Mercury retrograde, this could be a ground-breaking week for you to lay the foundation for that your next year will look like. In fact, we are p...

On the heels of the New Moon in Scorpio, we have a week filled with banner worthy astrology! Mars is making his way from squaring (a conflicting aspect) Saturn to squaring Pluto. This is a time where transformation is so close you can taste it, but you may be resisting. It's OK, growth is never comfortable. Mercury going retrograde on Halloween is an invitation to sit back, reflect, watch, collect...

This week we officially enter the Scorpio season. Hello to the ghosts, goblins, and perhaps some difficult memories and emotional patterns. All week we'll be moving toward a tense aspect between Mars and Saturn. When taken at face value this might seem like a bummer, but I promise this is Saturn teaching us restraint even when we want to throw a temper tantrum. How can you reframe this slow down s...

On the heels of the potent Full Moon in Aries this past Sunday, we are gearing up to step into our power. Pluto has been in the mix for the past few weeks and he's not letting up on you now. With Mercury in Scorpio, Pluto's home sign, you can be sure more information will be revealed this week. Don't be surprised if you're surprised. The lesson of this Full Moon is to honor your needs, to ask for...

This week we are literally caught between a rock and a hard place. The rock being Monday when the Sun squares Saturn and the hard place being Sunday when the Sun squares Pluto! These two planets in the sign of Capricorn are encouraging us to lean into the deep shifts happening in our lives. You might feel like nothing is happening; that you're stuck treading water, not moving forward. This happens...

We've had a bevy of Libra planets squaring Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn revealing information and digging up our secrets. This week Pluto stations to start moving forward after a retrograde season that started April 24th. This week will be marked by Pluto's intensity and desire to uncover the skeletons in the closet. It's no wonder Halloween is around the corner!  Become an Essential Astrology me...

This week we release the old karma, relationships, and beliefs that we've held onto; in favor of committing to the dreams and desires that most align with our hearts. It might be time to make a commitment!  With the Sun moving into Libra, prompting the Fall Equinox, we become interested in finding peace, balance, and harmony in all things. No longer do we look to criticize, but to find common grou...

This week Mars and the Sun meet up for their bi-yearly date in the heavens. When the Sun and Mars join up it provides signs as to what will be your motivating force for the next 2 years. What is lighting that fire in your gut this week? Pay attention to that. Or is there something nagging at your mind that you want to do, but you just haven't found the courage or drive to make it happen? This is y...

This week we have a New Moon in Virgo and a bevy of Virgo based planets talking to chaos loving change maker Uranus. With all this Earth in the sky (we’ve got planets in Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo) this week is ripe for tangible results to come through. While a lot of astrologers will tell you to “not waste this energy” and get to doing, I’ve got a different take on this week’s transits… Become...

This week Mars is leading the pack into the sign of Virgo. When Mars enters a sign it shifts the way we approach motivation, drive, and ambition. With Mars in Virgo we have the focus to pay attention to the small stuff. While that might make some of us nit picky perfectionists, it can also inspire us to pay attention the magic in the everyday moments. Become an Essential Astrology member on Patreo...

This week features a big kiss in the sky between the Sun and Venus, bringing our attention to love, money, and our values. While Venus might be known for her sexy side, she inspires us to consider what's important to us in all our relationships. Making this Sun - Venus date even hotter is the Full moon in Aquarius illuminating the 4 planets currently in Leo. If there was ever a week to trust your...

This week we have an opportunity to integrate the changes and the lessons that eclipse season has brought to our lives. We'll have time to emotionally process what we've experienced since June. The Universe is asking us to have some fun and follow the desires of our hearts. How can you identify more with your heart and less with who you think the world wants you to be?  Become an Essential Astrolo...

Thankfully the New Moon in Leo is upon us. Come Wednesday, July 31 the eclipse season will be officially over and Mercury will appear to be moving forward again. We can expect momentum to pick up again, but that doesn’t mean we're done with information and changes needed that the eclipse season has unveiled.  Become an Essential Astrology member on Patreon and get 2 bonus broadcasts each month for...

This week we start to feel in control once again, we’re back in the driver seat. The forward moving momentum is picking up and we’re picking up ourselves out of the depths of all the feels of Cancer season. The Sun is moving into Leo and there is a passionate grand trine of planets in fire. The temperature isn’t the only heat you’ll be feeling.  Become an Essential Astrology member on Patreon and...

Surrender! It’s what I keep telling myself. When you feel like you’ve released, there is one more layer that needs to be let go. This week we have the Full Moon Lunary Eclipse in work hard Capricorn opposite emotionally tuned in Cancer. If you feel like you are being pushed and pulled in opposite directions, you’re not wrong.  Become an Essential Astrology member on Patreon and get 2 bonus broadca...
