Full Moon Hangover Horoscope Good for Communication 4/22-28/24

Also a reminder that we are coming off of a full Moon and that Moon transits can mess with our systems a bit. With a full Moon that can be more so the case if we weren’t able to release something that we needed to let go of; and for new Moon’s it can happen if we failed to plant seeds of intention in a healthy part of our lives.

Cancer New Moon Horoscope 7/1 - 7/7

We start out on Monday with Mercury in Cancer trining Saturn in Pisces and Venus in Cancer trining Saturn in Pisces. Mercury will be at the last stages of Cancer right before ingressing into Leo, which means it is trying to dispel the energies of this sign. In plain English this means that the communication you have this day and the way you think about things could take on a nurturing and caring quality that feels like a relief.

Venus in Gemini is flirty! Don’t delete that dating ap quite yet! Or maybe do and just plan to say yes to the requests to socialize that come your way this week. Go get your flirt on!

Finally a fun horoscope!

Venus is do’in her thing in a deep and meaningful way with the help of Pluto this week. There are also a lot of supportive transits for the full Moon which can often be a challenging time when we are encouraged or forced to release something. Since the full Moon is in Sagittarius which is a mutable sign, we might have a bit of an easier time letting go.

A Spicy Eclipse Horoscope 4/8-14/24

The 8th gave us a solar eclipse in the sign of Aries that was also conjunct Chiron, coupled with a Mercury retrograde in Aries! Not to mention that a couple days later on the 10th we had Saturn get right up next to Mars which is never really a good look (Saturn conjunct Mars). So what does this all mean?…

Astrology: Language, philosophy, religion, science…?

The definition of astrology is one that is ever evolving and specific to the times in which it exists. I have several flexible working definitions of astrology…

  1. Astrology is an archetypal understanding of the growth and development of an individual as it relates to the growth and development of our planet and that of the cosmos writ large.

  2. Astrology is both an objective and subjective science (Marion D. March & Joan McEvers), The objective part is the astronomy and simple math and geometry that is needed to calculate birth charts by hand which is why this is a skill I intend to master this year. The subjective part involves the philosophy involved in interpreting a chart based on applying the knowledge of the energies the planets have exerted on us throughout hxtory.

  3. It is one of the few professions that allows for the existence of things we do not fully understand and as such humbles us to our place in the Great Life. It is equal parts philosophy, sociology, hxstory, and astronomy.

“A dream can be a distraction…

…just as easily as it can be a goal” You may be stuck on an area of your life that isn’t crucial to your growth and development. Let me help you work with your astrology to figure out where that might be.
