New love, abundance, and creation cycles begin with the New Venus energy that is activated on August 13, 2023, when Venus retrograde is exactly conjunct the Sun at 20 deg Leo. This energy closes a cycle that began in August 2015 (the last New Venus in Leo), as well as looking at what came to fruition during the Full Venus energy in August 2019. Powerful energy from the Sun in its ruling sign of Le...

The first week of August brings a focus to Taurus and Leo energies as disruptions, surprises, and higher awareness streams in to reveal what connects to your creative power now. The Sun and Venus retrograde in Leo are each receiving squares from Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, which can create waves of amplified change and opportunities to check in on what you are putting energy towards that is payi...

The 2023 Lion’s Gate Portal is an evolutionary energy as we receive the high-vibrating power of Sirius, our Spiritual Sun, as it rises on the horizon and brings in cleansing power to our planet. The portal opens the end of July until the middle of August as the Sun journeys through Leo, and expands our heart, desires, confidence, and courage to be our true selves. With Venus retrograde in Leo, and...

August begins and ends with 2 Super Full Moons, plus we’ll have 7 retrograde planets as the month closes out, so we’ll need to be adaptable and flexible, as well as willing to slow down and truly listen to what your energy is saying to you. Many planets are in Earth signs right now, bringing our attention to our physical world, responsibilities, and priorities. Mercury stations retrograde on Augus...

The Sun in Leo opens up more solar power and your innate creative instincts, which can be further activated with the Aquarius Full Moon that kicks off the month of August. Venus retrograde in Leo is moving very slowly this week as she sits with what is in her heart, just as Mercury comes along to conjunct her at 28 deg Leo. Both are receiving powerful influential energy of a Finger of God from Nep...

This week is packed with big energies as Venus stations retrograde, Chiron stations retrograde, the Nodes of Fate have just entered Aries and Libra, and the Sun in Cancer opposes Pluto RX in Capricorn, also creating a Cardinal Grand Cross of creative tensions and new possibilities. Plus Mars in Virgo opposes Saturn RX in Pisces on July 20, bringing something to a standstill for a few days. The Sun...

Pluto moves through Aquarius from 2023 until 2044 and will deeply transform both individual and collective energies on the planet. Pluto will powerfully interact with planets in the fixed signs – Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius – and change these areas into new empowered expressions, after Pluto is done directly aspecting any planets or points in those signs. Pluto in Aquarius will support the...

The Sun moves through the last 10 degrees of Cancer season, bringing up more insights into your emotional process, private life, and internal needs in powerful ways as we build up to the Cancer New Moon on July 17. After the New Moon, the Sun in Cancer will experience an opposition to Pluto in Capricorn at 29 degrees, and a Cardinal Grand Cross with the Nodes of Fate at 29 degrees of Aries and Lib...

Pluto has been travelling through Capricorn since 2008, permanently changing, transforming, and elevating your energy in significant life-changing ways. Reviewing how this energy has shown up for you in your astrology chart can reveal more about your power and ability to recreate your life, especially after the Pluto transit completes interacting with a degree point. We’ll look at how Pluto in Cap...

The Sun in Cancer is quiet this week, making it a lovely time to turn inward and connect with what you need that feels nourishing and compassionate. Mercury in Cancer is moving fast, and interacts with Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto before entering Leo on July 10, when it may feel easier to be forthright and expressive. Mars enters Virgo on July 10, too, and will make a trine to the North Node...

The Nodes of Fate move into Aries and Libra in the middle of July 2023, and instantly connect with an intense square from Pluto in Capricorn RX at 29 degrees. Pluto squaring the Nodes bring up what we need to leave behind, especially in the Libra areas of your chart, as the Aries areas are also required to evolve and transform. An intensity exists with this energy signature as there is no going ba...

Neptune stations retrograde, the Capricorn Full Moon, Mercury in Cancer interacts with the Sun, Saturn, and Jupiter, and Venus in Leo opens up energies she’ll be working with during her retrograde phase over the next few months. The Sun in Cancer invites us to connect with our internal world, our emotional process, and what we are hanging on to that can be released now. Both the Sun and Mercury in...

July’s astrological energies offer opportunities to connect with more of your internal wisdom and messages that reveal where you are ready to create new beginning that are in alignment with your power, needs, and self-love. Mercury the Messenger moves from Cancer into Leo and Virgo this month, as Mars enters Virgo. The Nodes of Fate change to Aries and Libra the middle of the month, followed by Ve...

Time to take another look at what needs to be cleared out of your life and energy. Saturn stations retrograde at 7 degrees Pisces on June 18 and will journey back to 0 degrees Pisces until Nov 4, bringing our attention to what we need to review again and decide if it’s really needed, wanted, or serves a purpose going forward. Saturn retrograde in Pisces brings up how well we can let go of what is...

Cancer season begins as the Sun moves through the Solstice portal and we enter the next season of the calendar year. Solstice energies signify when the Sun is at its highest (or lowest) point in the cycle, depending on hemisphere, and means “to stand still”. This is a beautiful time to tune into your internal world, as well as listen to your parasympathetic nervous system that connects us to rest...

The middle of June brings us to the Gemini New Moon and Saturn stationing retrograde both on June 17, and a fast-moving Mercury in Gemini travelling behind the Sun in Gemini. Yet the typically active Gemini energy has interference from Saturn and Neptune in Pisces slowing down and removing what we tend to rely on, especially in terms of reason, logic, and details. This is a week to remain flexible...

The Nodes of Fate move into Aries and Libra in mid-July 2023 and shift our growth trajectory into territory we haven’t visited since 2004 to 2006. The North Node in Aries highlights independence, self-leadership, initiations, and moving into new chapters, while the South Node in Libra reveals what is out of balance, unhealthy, no longer satisfying, and expiring. Your planets and points in Aries an...

The Sun continues to travel alone in Gemini until Mercury the Messenger enters this sign on June 11th, bringing more energy and a faster pace to our daily routines and communications. Venus entered Leo on June 5 and has been involved in a tense T-square with an opposition to Pluto RX in Aquarius and Jupiter in Taurus, which can feel like you’re dealing with an overwhelming situation that is requir...

Venus journeys through Leo for 4 months in 2023 due to her retrograde from July 22 to Sept 4, and she will have many significant aspects to other planets that will bring about changes, evolution, and release in money, relationships, friendships, creativity, and your heart’s desires.  Venus in Leo highlights how you love and accept yourself – self-worth, creativity, personal expressions, confidence...

Gemini season brings us to a magical Sagittarius Full Moon on June 3 that highlights what you are attracting as well as trusting in a grounded way. Lots of energy in Taurus still with Jupiter conjunct the North Node at 3 degrees giving you an inspired path to follow, along with Mercury making a conjunction to Uranus at 20 degrees Taurus. Surprises, changes, and unexpected communications may arrive...

Gemini season is now underway as the Sun covers territory in your chart where we’ve had multiple retrogrades since 2020, so there may be new acknowledgements and understandings now of how you have reprogrammed Gemini themes in your world. The Sun in Gemini will have its first square to Saturn in Pisces at 6 degrees on May 28, requiring mature choices, decisions, conversations, or to take care of m...

In June 2023, both Saturn and Neptune will be stationing retrograde in Pisces, bringing up how we integrate and process endings, loss, surrender, and what is outside of our control in the physical world. Mercury will be moving fast through Taurus, Gemini, and into Cancer, which adds a busy-ness to our daily lives, and it can seem like more is happening and going on in June. Pluto retrograde re-ent...

Big energies reveal themselves in a new way as the Taurus New Moon on May 19 is followed by a powerful Fixed Grand Cross at 0 degrees that is active until May 24. Mars enters Leo on May 20 and immediately opposes Pluto RX in Aquarius, plus Jupiter in Taurus and the Nodes of Fate. New options, chapters, opportunities, and endeavors are showing up, but it could also feel overwhelming, confusing, and...

What is going ON on our planet? This question is only going to get bigger and more confusing as Neptune in Pisces reaches 27 degrees starting in May 2023 and begins an ongoing square to the Galactic Center at 27 degrees Sagittarius until January 2025. Neptune in Pisces is unraveling Sagittarian themes, and also dissolving density and attachments that are shifting and leaving. It may feel like ther...

The middle of May brings Mercury stationing direct at 5 degrees Taurus, Jupiter entering Taurus for the first time in 12 years, and Jupiter squaring Pluto RX in Aquarius at 0 degrees. There is a “cosmic pause” unfolding so we can connect with deeper wells of self-love and self-value as we move into new expressions of our soul’s frequency. Saturn in Pisces trines Venus in Cancer at 6 degrees, and M...
