Weekly Nurturing Astrology

Here you can get nurturing guidance, insight and tips for making the most out of all the astrological weather ahead!

Jan. 25th - 31st, 2021

Picture
This week the Aquarius Sun continues it’s move through the party of planets already in the sign, making a conjunction with Jupiter, squaring Uranus in Taurus and moving into opposition for a Leo Full Moon. Then we end the week with Mercury shifting retrograde.

So although there is much work to do, and there may be great hurdles and challenges to face in order to make needed change, creative potentials and heart’s desires are also lit up and being supported for making personal progress. And if we are willing to make it a team effort, re-considering, re-thinking and re-imagining a way forward that is more inclusive, the possibilities of more success for everyone grows as well. 


Here is how the energies play out day to day for the week ahead.

Monday we wake up with the Moon void-of-course in Gemini, so sleeping in won't hurt productivity for the day. By mid-morning the Moon moves into creature comfort Cancer, so you still may feel slow to slide into the day's duties. It is Moon's day anyway, so just doing what feels good today and waiting to fully engage until tomorrow is a good self-care decision.

Tuesday is set off by the Aquarius Sun making it's exact square to Uranus in Taurus. This could bring surprise news, sudden changes to plans or troubles with tech. Remember, Mercury is in it's shadow and slowing down for retrograde. So double check your schedule, secure connections and refresh all your browsers if you run into blocks.

Wednesday the moon in Cancer makes an opposition to Venus and Pluto in Capricorn before going void-of-course for the day. So another good day to enter with come caution, or sleep in again to avoid trouble, and spend the day cleaning  house or taking care of things you've been putting off.  Then you will feel even lighter and happier when the Moon enters Leo and you can celebrate your day's accomplishments.

Thursday is the Leo Full Moon which can bring opportunities for working with others to up-level life or struggles and resistance to those trying to hold on to old ways because of personal pride. The conjunction of Jupiter too the Sun can certainly bring some lucky breaks. And the t-square with Mars and Uranus can also bring some breakthroughs for solving issues so everyone can make progress toward their goals.   

Come Friday and the weekend Mercury has come to a stand still and will shift retrograde on Saturday. The Moon also moves into practical Virgo. So it would be smart now to start detailing all the projects and things that need to be revisited, reviewed or reworked over the next few weeks.

This week the energies feel like winds blowing through peaks and valleys. So going with the flow will ensure you sail through with flying colors and don't get caught up in a storm or end up crashing and burning.

Jan. 18th - 24th, 2021

This week will be one for the history books, in more ways than one. In mundane astrology this has been one of the most anticipated and talked about weeks over the least months and year. And for better or worse, I'm sure the astrology will confirm the talk. There will indeed be electricity in the air. There already is. And there will be lots of noise and information flying, lightening could strike and the desires to fight for truth and justice will definitely grow. 

But from a personal perspective, to avoid getting caught up in the potential negative or volatile vibes or too emotionally overwhelmed by the shock and awe of it all, do your best to stay above the fray. Stay grounded in your body, observe what's happening from a healthy detached perspective and stay focused on your own goals and good vibes.


Here is how the energies play out day to day for the week ahead.

Monday we can wake up feeling hot and ready to go with the Moon in Aries. And as the energy moves through the day the Moon will sextile Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius to bring in ideal opportunities and motivation to make progress on your projects. This will be a good use of your energy to be productive and also avoid conflict with others.  

Tuesday the Aries Moon will sextile Mercury in Aquarius, square off Venus and Pluto in Capricorn and the Sun leaves Capricorn for Aquarius. This is a great day to honestly share ideas and feelings to improve your relationships and co-operate better in work and love. And the Sun shifting into Aquarius sets the tone for innovation, making progress, and real change toward realizing more of your dreams.  This can also bring hope and possibilities for reform, resolution and the re imagining of a better future going forward for all.

Wednesday will be monumental in many ways. All eyes will be on Washington DC in the US and hoping for a peaceful transition of power to take place. However, according to the present energies things will likely not go off without any hitches. The Moon, which in Mundane Astrology represents to people, will be void-of-course in Aries, Mars and Uranus are conjunct in Taurus and squaring off Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius. So it could be similar to January 6th in that there will be uprising, unrest and protest, but ultimately the process will move forward and the end result will be the same as intended. However, hopefully with better preparation this time, total chaos can be avoided and everyone will remain safe. Luckily, the Moon enters Taurus shortly after the main event to calm emotions, allow for some relief, and maybe even some celebration.

And whether you are tuned in to what's happening on the world stage or not on this day, staying securely grounded in your body, and focused soundly on your most trusted resources for peace and harmony, will allow you to make it a positive and productive day.   

The astrology vibes of Wednesday drift into Thursday. Tensions will still be present and there could be good news and bad news coming in simultaneously. Staying open and flexible may not be easy, but it will be important for successfully navigating any struggles and challenges. Taking an Aquarian approach of seeking resolutions that all groups can live with will be valuable and required for making any true progress. 

Friday the square between Mars in Taurus and Jupiter in Aquarius is exact and can be a beneficial time for anything that requires stepping up with courage and confidence. For the groups it can indicate a growing desire to fight for truth and justice. And from an individualistic perspective it can be an enterprising time for growing connections to larger groups of people or audiences.

The weekend brings a lively Gemini Moon trining the crew of Aquarius planets, while the Sun joins Saturn in the sign and Venus in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces. This day can be a great day for love and romance, or a great day for working on something that will bring more abundance and good things that you love to your life.        

​
So even though there is more potential chaos in the world this week and so much uncertainty in the air, there is still also a whole lot of hope, possibility and potent potential for growth and re-imagining a better way forward together.

Jan. 11th - 17th, 2021

This week will be another big and busy week. It's a good thing we have a powerful New Moon in Capricorn Earth to keep us grounded and give us an opportunity to set up and secure a solid plan for a productive way forward.

And the definition of 'freedom' will be up for debate more and more as life begins to take on a very different tone and people are faced with inevitable change. We each will be making decisions and choices for directing life toward our own hopes, wishes and dreams. And at the same time, we all have a role to play in the larger story and what the future will look like for us as communities, countries and cultures.  

Here is how the energies play out day to day for the week ahead.

Monday the Moon will be in Capricorn moving into a conjunction with Venus and trine to Mars and Uranus Rx in Taurus, while there is a meeting of the minds conjunction between Mercury and Jupiter in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries. So we will feel motivated to dedicate ourselves to the things that are most nurturing, healing, significant and important to us. Whether it's a relationship, health routine, work project, art project, education endeavor, or all of the above. There will be energy and opportunity to be productive, expand our visions and grow what we need and love most in the world.

Late Tuesday evening, early Wednesday morning, depending on your location, the Capricorn New Moon arrives. So finish anything that can free you up for setting your full focus on the future. And prepare to set your new moon wishes, intentions and building plans for 2021 and beyond.

On Wednesday the Moon is in Aquarius, Venus in Capricorn will trine Uranus Rx in Taurus, while Mars in Taurus squares Saturn in Aquarius. If we want to really improve and build better roads and bridges toward a more inclusive, kind and compassionate society, we have to act from love, truth and integrity. With all the upset, anger and frustration swirling we will see this struggle play out on the world stage as well as in our personal lives. So tread lightly, respect one another and authority to avoid fueling conflict.

Thursday Uranus shifts direct after being retrograde since late August 2020 and The Capricorn Sun makes it's official conjunction to Pluto. The reality of hard change is in the spotlight and transformation is inevitable. If we don't accept this truth or continue to resist it, life will only get that much harder. We can save ourselves some struggle by shifting gears toward seeking resolutions instead of stubbornly digging into our position and furthering restrictions.   

Friday and Saturday, with the Moon in Pisces, we may be ready to cry and/or escape all the nastiness and noise. Take a reprieve, do something soothing that can take your mind off it all, or lose yourself in a creative project to re inspire your heart to keep the faith and keep going. Because Sunday the Moon enters Aries and Jupiter in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus. This will get spirits high again and bring potential challenging conversations or controversies to kick off the next week and end of Capricorn season.

So proceed with caution and compassion this week, ground yourself in the New Moon and consciously creating a broad vision plan for what you hope to manifest for your personal big picture.

Jan. 4th - 10th, 2020

This week will begin with heavy thoughts about what we hope to transform, transition in or out of, or level up in our lives this year. So even if you’re still hunkered down to stay healthy or simply hibernating for the winter, doing your best to start getting your mind wrapped around the plans, budgets, partnerships and projects you want to work on in the coming months will be a good use of your time.

Here is how the energies play out day to day for the week ahead.

Monday the Moon in Virgo has us feeling a particular way. And Mercury will conjunct Pluto in late Capricorn. So this is good energy for keeping emotions contained and focusing on practical matters. Perhaps making decisions about what to clear away, how to reorganize for improved efficiency and thinking about the best routines and resources needed to be put in place for best results going forward.

Wednesday the Moon in Libra and Mars entering Taurus shifts that focus onto our commitments and partnerships. It’s important to be ensuring we are alway directing our energy in the direction of the people, projects and relationships that, not only bring us the most pleasure and joy, but are also most aligned with our values, worth and gifts. Mars will be working through Taurus until March 3rd. So don’t stress, slow and steady will win the race with these efforts.

Friday is a busy day in the skies and can prove to be the same for us. The Moon is in Scorpio, while the Capricorn Sun sextiles Neptune in Pisces, Venus enters Capricorn, and Mercury enters Aquarius to square Mars in Taurus. This can bring exciting news that puts you to work early or perhaps presents a conflict or challenge you must confront in order to get things going or done before the weekend.

It may turn into a working weekend as well because Saturday Mercury joins Saturn in Aquarius and Venus in Capricorn trines Mars in Taurus. So you could feel so eager and inspire about what you are involved in that you don’t want to stop. You will enjoy the projects and partnerships that can potentially lead to more money, meaning and growth in your life.

Next week brings the first New Moon of the year in Capricorn, where intentions can be made to start the building process for your plans. So this week is a good time to make sure you are clear about the direction you want to go individually and what it is you really want to contribute to the whole.

Dec. 28th - Jan. 2nd, 2020

This week we are called home, and within, for our final reflection on this year, with the Cancer Full Moon. Then we say goodbye to 2020 and welcome in 2021! 

We enter the week with the Moon in Gemini passing the North Node, opposing Venus in Sagittarius and squaring off Neptune in Pisces. This could open up deep discussions that can expand understanding, shift perspectives, and enrich relationships. 

Then Tuesday the Cancer Full Moon brings possibilities for family nurturing, healing, and rooting into our truest sense of home, security and belonging. We will be able to reflect on this year with a deeper understanding of why things happened the way they did, what's most important and how we wish to live differently going forward. 

Wednesday the Venus and Neptune square becomes exact, making for some possible confusion, misunderstanding, or miscommunications between companions and couples. Perhaps big conversations that go deep must be had before both parties can be fully free of an issue. And honesty is always the best policy. Lies or misgivings will only prolong the inevitable. 


Thursday the Moon will enter Leo for the New Year’s Eve celebrations. The joy and happiness to be completing this crazy year will be felt and shown in big ways. This is an ending we have all looked forward to all year. However, it may feel a little anticlimactic in the moment, because even though we feel so relieved and excited for a fresh start, we also know there are still many people struggling, and there is still much challenge and work ahead to create a better world and that recovery is a long road. So with the Moon also making opposition to Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius the many limitations and frustrations still challenging us all will also be felt and topics of discussion around the festivities.

However, making opposition to Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius the many limitations and frustrations still challenging us in the world will also be felt and topics of discussion around the festivities. 

Friday, January 1, 2021 kicks off with a sextile between Mercury in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces. So it will be a good day for going with the flow, daydreaming and doing whatever soothes or creatively inspires. Read, watch a movie, rest, listen to music or work on a project or plan you hope to manifest in this new year. The right ideas and answers could magically come to you or appear before you. 

And by the evening, the Leo Moon makes a fun trine to Venus in Sagittarius so more good time vibes can be enjoyed over for the weekend ahead. 2021 is here! Yay! Let the celebrations continue!

Monday is a pivotal day for our universe! The Sagittarius New Moon Total Eclipse last week on the Galactic Center really initiated us into the next paradigm of this amazing human experiment.

​And today's joining of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius is the initiation into the next 20 year cycle of Air energy that will give us wings to fly like never before. That's if we've learned  all we can through the struggles and challenging past experiences of our lives.


And the Sun's entrance into Capricorn also brings the Winter Solstice here in the North and a season for growing wisdom and building more meaningful and purposeful work into our lives. What do you see on the horizon for yourself and what paths and directions will you seek to travel next to build your vision?

And as exciting as things feel on the one hand, on the other there is emotion and profound feelings about what all is happening right now too. With great change comes great fear and pain that must be worked through as part of the process. The Moon will be in Pisces on Monday as all these intense transitions happen so let the tears flow if necessary. This can be cathartic and help things along. 

Then with Moon in Aries for the next couple of days and Mars hitting it's last square to Pluto on Wednesday, things can get bumpy. But there can be motivation to stand your ground to ensure you are pointing your life in the most desired direction. So focusing any frustrations into where you feel positive enthusiasm will help propel you forward. 

Things will settle in for Christmas Eve and Day. We can expected unexpected messages from loved ones, gifts and giving which will feel good. And with Mercury in Capricorn making a trine to Uranus Rx in Taurus, I imagine there will be plenty of Facetime calls and virtual family zoom celebrations.

Finally we end the week with the Moon in Gemini and the Capricorn Sun making it's trine to Uranus Rx in Taurus. This can bring even more unexpected eventful news that will influence the changes coming for 2021.

It's an exciting, yet very life changing time in our personal lives and history. 2020 has surely dealt some blows. But it's important how we choose to respond. In order to go the distance and truly create the future we want, we have to believe it's all part of a larger story that will eventually play out, just as it should, in divine timing and ultimately for our highest good. This is my belief and wish for you this holiday season. All the best!

Picture
Start this week by setting intentions for the big picture of your life with the Sagittarius New Moon Total Lunar Eclipse on Monday. Open the door, honor and release the past, and call in your future. Aim your arrow far and true. New horizons are opening.

Tuesday Venus will sextile Saturn just before entering Sagittarius. This can bring in a desire to make some commitments to building your dreams and big opportunities to grow what you love. The Moon in Capricorn all day will only solidify the need to feel solid in our relationships and support systems.

Wednesday the Moon moves through Capricorn and meets up one final time with the Council of Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn. Our safety and sense of security are of top priority, and we will need to have this foundation in place to ensure the long-term sustainability. Saturn then leaves Capricorn after 2 1/2 years and moves into Aquarius for the next 2  1/2 years. Now will be the time to begin tapping into what you know you know and how you can better share it, 
what new things you still desire to learn, and ways you can inspire the vision for the world you want to live in. Let your next level living and learning begin. 

Thursday and Friday the Moon in Aquarius gives us some time to detach a little and gain some perspective on what's transpiring within and without this week so far. 

Then Saturday the biggest planet shift of 2020 arrives. Jupiter shifts from Capricorn into Aquarius and moves toward the Great Conjunction with Saturn. Extreme curiosity, innovation and ingenuity bring major opportunities to expand and grow in ways beyond imagination in the coming years. So welcome in the possibilities for progress and greatness through brilliant ideas, collaborations and community outreach. The sky's the limit, if we're open to new experiences and trying new things. 

And finally we close the week Sunday with the Moon is Pisces and Mercury entering calm and collected Capricorn. It may feel good to check out and check in with your heart at the end of this momentous week. Going forward, Mercury here can stabilize our minds and carry our thinking into the new year constructively. We can use strategy, common sense, time management and wise words to get important messages sent, plans in place and goals in alignment for what we hope to accomplish in 2021. Get ready, it's the dawning of a new day!

Dec. 7th - 13th, 2020

Picture
This week we may struggle at first to get our ducks in a row, so staying flexible, open and going with the flow will help alleviate stress. So go easy with yourself and let the clarity come naturally.

Creativity and love will be fueled by the energy of mid-week. So make the most out of this positive boost so you can make that last push of progress before the year's end and set the stage for what you hope to accomplish in the next year.

Then relax over the weekend to avoid burn out or overwhelm. Journal, meditate and get in touch with the truth of what you want in preparation for the Sagittarius New Moon Solar Eclipse that kicks off next week.

But let’s walk through this week first.

Monday you might feel a bit confused or overwhelmed with the Moon in Virgo opposing Neptune in Pisces. And squaring the Sagittarius and Gemini Nodes you my feel stuck between two or more thoughts or ideas. Go with the flow, surrender to what is happening right in front of you as much as possible, and let that guide your day.

Tuesday, with the Moon moving into Libra there will be more back and forth. So making decisions won’t be easy. Maybe flip a coin so you can just keep some momentum going. There will be time to make solid plans and commitments later.

Wednesday the Sun in Sagittarius squares Pisces Neptune. Try not to be too hard on yourself if there are too many good ideas to pick just one or two. Use the energy to imagine the possibilities of each one and surrender to the universal timing of the manifestations.

Thursday Venus in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn and the Sagittarius Sun trines Mars in Aries. Now is when we get a serious boost of bold force that can help to make some progress through this wonky week. So use it wisely and try to be strategic in how you follow your impulsive to act. Drive your passions forward with determination while also staying compassionate, flexible and open to other paths of possibility.

Friday and Saturday the Moon in Scorpio keeps emotions ripe and needs somewhat non-negotiable. So be careful to not lash out at others if feeling vulnerable or victimized. Instead take things into your own hands and take self-care actions to avoid conflict. This will save the situation from going in a more negative direction.

Saturday evening the Moon moves into Sagittarius to lighten the moon a bit. However when Mercury in Scorpio squares Neptune in Pisces on Sunday our words and imaginations can get the best of us if we’re not mindful.

So as you close the week, take some deep breaths, be still, listen within, and have faith all will evolve as it should. Because the coming New Moon Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius will surely place you on the path that is for your highest good.

Nov. 30th - Dec. 6th, 2020

Picture
This week begins with a Gemini Full Moon partial lunar eclipse that is sure to offer a new perspective on the big picture of our lives.

It only takes the smallest of adjustments to make major changes to our views. So stay flexible and open to new ways of seeing and doing things. Past ideas and plans may not have worked out the way you hoped this year, but perhaps there is another way or opportunity to make it all happen, and even better than you could ever have imagined.  


Tuesday, Mercury enters larger than life Sagittarius and our big ideas will start to move even faster and call for bold action. So take steps to bring all your amazing knowledge and wisdom into forms that will allow you to enrich more people’s lives with all you know. This energy also calls for more kindness and generosity in our words and deeds. We are in the Sagittarius season of gratitude and giving after all. 
 
The Moon entering Cancer in Tuesday evening also brings in an ability to figure out more of our comfort level, what truly nurtures us and where we truly feel we belong as we move through the week. These elements add considerable insight for knowing what we need and believe about the life we are living. 

Then Friday the Moon enters Leo and trines Mercury so we can feel more into what we understand brings us the most joy, happiness and fulfillment and inspire new ways for creating more of what we love. 

Saturday Venus in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces and brings imaginations, spirits and lovers alive for some fun, creative expression and higher harmony with others. This is a magical day for romance, rejoicing and deepening connections to ourselves, with others and to whatever we might believe is guiding us from beyond.

Finally, Sunday the Moon enters practical Virgo and helps prove that if we put in the necessary hard work to learn, improve and build the life we want, and at the same time stay flexible and open in how it all might look in the end, we will be better served and serve better.

Nurture the Nature - For your well Being!


Nov. 23rd - 29th, 2020

Picture
The best course of action this week is to embrace the creative side of your nature, keep busy with things that inspire you and bring you more connection and joy, and remember that gratitude can make all the difference in your attitude.

First, ideas and imaginations are fast moving with Mercury in Scorpio making a timely trine to Neptune Rx in Pisces on Monday. And the Moon completes it's passage through Pisces today as well. So feel free to lose yourself in your imagination early in the week and create, create, create. 

The Moon then moves through Aries from early Tuesday through Thursday evening. This can give us the drive to get all the things we need to get finished done. But it can also create frustrations and less than fun attitudes if we bump into blocks and don't keep ourselves in a positive mindset. And if you are sitting down with family for a Thanksgiving meal, whether in person or on zoom, proceed cautiously with conversation to avoid conflict or accidentally hurting feelings. Remember kindness is contagious. 

Then the Moon spends Friday and Saturday in Taurus to settle the emotions and inspire more creativity. It also might inspire more spending. Mercury makes sweet sextiles to Capricorn planets Pluto and Jupiter so not only can we bring projects and plans into realistic form, these are also key days for snagging great sales if you want to get a jump start on your holiday shopping or selling.

Finally, Neptune in Pisces shifts direct late Saturday and we wake up Sunday with the Moon in Gemini. So as the fog lifts and clouds begin to clear, and we feel into the alignment of our hearts, minds and what's possible, we can embrace even more hope and potential for realizing our larger visions and dreams of a brighter future.

This week brings a changing of the guards. We compete Scorpio season and the Sun enters Sagittarius. And this Jupiter ruled sign brings extra everything! Extra energy, extra drive, extra excitement, extra drama, extra possibilities and extra opportunities.

And all this extra can be great for growing, learning, enjoying and succeeding in all areas of life where we have put in the work this year. And h
ow high you can go will depend on the foundation and springboard you build to support and launch you toward manifesting your highest goals and dreams.
​
Now let's look at the week ahead for how to lay the necessary groundwork for a successful Sag. season and beyond.

We enter the week with the Moon in Sagittarius and feeling very inspired to feel into our new hopes and visions for the future. This is a great day to brainstorm and listen to the messages and ideas that come in. The Sag Moon will also trine Mars in Aries and pass over the South Node in Sagittarius, opposing the North Node in Gemini. So no need to commit to a plan just yet. Let this be a time of exploration. And if you get frustrated that you can’t nail things down quickly enough for your liking, take a break, get active, and trust it will all come together in divine timing.

Tuesday Mercury in Scorpio moves into oppose Uranus Rx in Taurus, and the Moon enters serious, hard working Capricorn. So mid week is the time to get serious and get to work. Breakthroughs are possible and it might be time to throw out the old approach to things and discover a new pathway for reaching your ultimate goals. So these are the days to hunker down and start building the structure for reaching success.

The Sun in Scorpio will make a sweet sextile to Saturn on Wednesday, it's last aspect before moving on to Sagittarius, which should bring added support for making significant investments and progress in your foundation plans.

Thursday the Moon enters Aquarius and Venus in Libra moves into a square to Saturn in Capricorn. This energy will call in questions like; Do I love what I do and do work that I love? Am I working for, connected to, and partnering with all the best people and groups to grow my business or career? If so, and your position let’s you uniquely shine and feel joy and fulfillment in your heart, you can be confident you are on the right track.

Saturday the Sun enters Sagittarius and Venus enters Scorpio. Prepare for lift off! If you are fulfilling all of the requirements of discipline and dedication, believe in yourself and believe in what’s truly possible; sky’s the limit for the success you can create and reach
.

Much of this week's energy certainly points to the true transformation and shift of direction the Unites States and the world is going through right now. However, on a personal level this same energy can powerfully propel each of us forward on our individual journeys toward real healing, progress and success in our relationships, projects and ambitions. Stay focused, vigilant and keep the faith that forces of the universe are always playing a role in our ever evolving reality.  

Let’s look at the details for how this plays out in the week ahead. 

Monday brings more potential struggle and conflict, smoke and mirrors with Venus in Libra opposing Mars Rx in Aries and the Scorpio Sun trining Neptune Rx in Pisces. There may be opposition blocking your path forward, and they could be real or illusions of your own making. The Moon in Virgo will help keep us level headed, rational and taking care of the details of the day to stay calm and focused.

Tuesday Mercury returns to Scorpio to call once again for truths to be told and realities to be checked. And sometimes reality bites, but it also must be accepted and dealt with if we are going to survive and thrive. This 3rd pass over this area for Mercury can also bring new revelations, genius ideas and new resources for gaining the knowledge and support desired to make progress.

Wednesday the Moon enters Libra and opposes Chiron Rx in Aries. With this energy a choice can be made to begin building bridges over burning them so healing can happen. However, there will need to be agreement from both sides to move toward this. Jupiter and Pluto conjunct in Capricorn for the final time this year and proves that hard work can pay off in BIG ways. So if you’ve kept your eyes on the prize this year and done the necessary exploration and work to learn and grow, the rewards will start coming in.

When Friday and the weekend arrive, Mars shifts Direct and the Sun/Moon reunion in Scorpio offers us an opportunity to birth a new reality that can truly reset our course in a more authentic direction.

And with the Scorpio New Moon making a sexile to Jupiter in Capricorn, while Venus in Libra is moving in to square Jupiter and Pluto, there is further support for building on our work, expanding on our broader life vision and making powerful progress on our personal projects and goals. And from a cosmic collective view, we will begin to clearly see that growth, truth, justice and change can always come with dedication, determination, love and faith in divine timing.

This week the world will be riding the wave, whether Red or Blue, of the intense U.S. election. For those here, please VOTE. Let your voices and choices be heard. The Astrology supports us strongly in doing this now, especially with Mercury shifting direct on Election Day. But this shift also confirms we may not have clear results right away. So patience will be a virtue this week. 

And for the rest of the world, send us love, good will and luck. We will need it. But for you and for anyone else when not focused on this scene, the week brings energy to support us in making all kinds of clearer decisions about our relationships, work, families and futures. 

Change is not easy and it takes making hard calls sometimes. And this has been the theme of this entire year. Now as we are in the home stretch, the pressure is on to do what must be done to ensure the next year can be better.   

Let’s look at the details for how this plays out in the week ahead. 

Monday the Moon in Gemini trines Venus in Libra and can have us feeling good about what we’ve been learning, better about the choices we are starting to make to improve relationships and life going forward and ready to recommit to our goals. 

Tuesday Mercury shifts direct in Libra and by the end of the day the Moon in Gemini will be moving into a trine with the messenger planet. So clarity of thoughts and ideas can be restored and voices and choices can be heard more loudly.

Wednesday night the Moon enters Cancer and over it’s next 2 day travels will touch all the planets activating all our feelings about everything happening around us. Emotions will run deep and our need to know the fate of our future will be intensified. 

And Friday we wake up to Mercury in Libra squaring Saturn in Capricorn which could potentially bring news of lawsuits or battles over the election in the U.S. And in your own life, this could bring up conflict or fears about being able to expression your side of an issue or build a focused plan of action to move things forward toward reaching your personal goals. A good thing to remember now to get you through is that Mars will go direct next week. So energy and momentum will return soon enough. 

The other good news is, the Moon moves through Leo for the weekend to lighten the mood a little and inspire cutting loose for some fun. Yay! So as we finish out this intense, high stakes week, we can at least celebrate that we are on the other side of it.

Oct. 26th - Nov. 1st, 2020

Picture
This week, Tuesday, Mercury steps back into Libra, where it was in late September, to give second chances and thought to whatever we may have been unable to explain, make peace with, or decide back then. It could be in regards to a relationship status, project, money matter or even a choice in a larger life direction for your future. 

These can be tough calls to make. But the good news here is Venus steps into her second home sign of Libra the same day! Venus can bring in all her love and desire for creating harmony and happiness to help you weigh the pros and cons with careful and kind consideration. 

Then just in time for Halloween, we get our second Full Moon of the month, this time in Taurus, Venus’ first home sign. This beautiful big Blue Full Moon in Taurus will be conjunct Uranus , the planet of unexpected change, surprises, and exciting progress. So if you’ve been working hard to make some breakthroughs or headway on some partnerships or projects, this energy could bring just the blessing and boost you need. 

But sometimes success can be even more scary than failure. You know that saying about where success can actually be found, right? Just outside your comfort zone. 

So don’t get spooked this week by the way things are going, good or bad. Hang in there, trust your gut to guide you, and keep doing the work. The right words, answers, people, changes, opportunities and pathways forward will be clear soon enough. ​

Scorpio Season Highlights

Picture
Scorpio season will bring further opportunity to enforce major needed changes in our lives as the 3 personal planets Mercury, Venus and Mars will all be shifting signs and directions in the coming weeks. 

Venus brings progress and peacemaking opportunities to our projects and dealings with the support of Mercury Rx in Libra until Nov. 10th. And there are second chances to connect and make changes that can deepen our relationships and partnerships at the Taurus Full Moon.

Then when Mercury reenters Scorpio, Mars shifts direct on Nov. 13th and the New Moon in Scorpio arrives on the 15th, the real action steps can start being taken to get where we truly wish to go.

Oct. 19th - 25th, 2020

Picture
This week feels like it has the potential to be much more productive than recent ones. We have lots of Earthy energy supporting us to get ‘To Dos’ ticked off our list and make some significant progress on long over due or delayed projects and goals. 

We start on Monday with the Moon in Sagittarius and a nice trine between Venus in Virgo and Jupiter in Capricorn. This can bring motivation and bright ideas for planning and progressing projects, or help you put the final touches on creative projects before you launch them out into the world. Mercury Rx in Scorpio opposes Uranus Rx in Taurus today too, so you could get some surprise news or update that will shift the trajectory of everything. So stay flexible and open. 

By mid week Venus moves into a trine to Pluto in Capricorn and the Moon enters this Earth sign too. This is a prime time to gather resources and join forces with like minds who can help shape and direct you towards your mutual goals. This energy could also bring back debts owed to you, people or work opportunities that you’ve been waiting on or working towards for a long time. Either way, there is a stronger, more stable vibe happening that can support our personal growth, transformation and making improvements to our daily work environment. 

Then Thursday the Sun enters Scorpio to shift the spotlight and force our awareness onto where we are owning our power and where we might still be living in fear. Sometimes fear can be unconscious and sometimes we can be very aware of what’s holding us back but still struggle to overcome it. The aspects the Sun makes with it’s passage through this fixed water sign will certainly offer opportunities for growth in this area so we can own our power more and pursue our goals with more confidence.

Friday the Moon enters Air sign Aquarius, Saturday Venus makes his 3rd trine of the week, this time with Saturn in Capricorn and Sunday the Sun in Scorpio conjuncts Mercury Rx.

This energy promotes the ability to use your voice for sharing honest feelings, thoughts and innovative ideas that can build trust, and bring solid improvements and desired change. You may be working with a partner or group on a project, working to offer your gifts, services and knowledge in better ways to help others, or seeking to create deeper connection with friends or lovers. 


In essence, although Mars is still retrograde, this can be a fun working week where productive talks and progress can be made toward your short term and long term goals. Use your time and energy wisely and purposefully.

Oct. 12th - 18th, 2020

Picture
I hope you still have your seat belt on because the 2020 coaster is still rolling this week. We start at a nice peak with Jupiter in Capricorn sextile Neptune Rx in Pisces, and Mercury in Scorpio sextile Venus in Virgo. These positive aspects bring an opportunity to view things from a broader perspective and explore a more creative, compassionate approach to issues. Ideas may be overflowing for ways to improve life, relationships and build smarter working systems that everyone can appreciate and accept. This could be a very beneficial position to take given the energy we are in and the line up of planetary aspects ahead. 

Mercury is stationed and will shift retrograde Tuesday Oct. 13th. So the deep reflecting, questioning and investigation for truth begins.  This transit could actually finally bring awareness to what choices must be made now that Scorpio ruled Pluto is direct. So pay close attention to the conversations you’re having and the messages you are getting. 

The Libra Sun also opposes Mars Rx in Aries on the Tuesday Oct. 13th, which signals the halfway point of this larger 2 year Mars cycle for all of us, and marks a great time to seriously consider where our energies are being directed and if we’re being a force for positive change or reacting selfishly out of old unconscious fears or self-imposed limitations. 

The Libra Sun then squares Pluto in Capricorn on Thursday and you may feel some serious pressure to push where you have been getting resistance. If you're pushing through your own stuff that's one thing, but if you're trying to push others through theirs you could end up getting some backlash. So if you can wait for a less intense day to offer your services you will undoubtedly get better results.

Then the Libra New Moon on Friday brings all these conflicting and contrasting energies together for a chance to set some new intentions for how and where we can make efforts to get along better with others and create systems and improved societal norms that everyone can agree on and live happily by. This won't be a time to sign on the dotted line, but it can be the beginning of constructive conversations that can help the negotiation processes.

​And finally, on Sunday the Libra Sun will officially square Saturn in Capricorn, Mars Rx in Aries will square Jupiter in Capricorn and Venus in Virgo will oppose Neptune Rx in Pisces. This may cause more overwhelm with all the good intentions set at the New Moon. So make a plan, make a list, break things into practical, doable steps, and manage your time wisely. This will increase the odds of making real progress on your own projects, while also being available to support others you care about, and doing what you can to contribute and work better with others.

Oct. 5th - 11th, 2020

The bumpy ride continues this week friend. Even though the Sun is in lovely, diplomatic Libra, with Mars retrograde in Aries creating major power struggles and upset it is proving truly difficult to keep the peace. In my opinion, the theme this week should be “honesty is the best policy”.

We start the week with the Moon in Gemini and Mercury is in Scorpio, so talks are already feeling tough, and trusting that what we hear and read in the news is true is becoming more and more challenging. It’s hard to make any real decisions when it’s impossible to know the truth. So do your own homework, find trusted sources or dig for the facts yourself. And as Mercury heads into an opposition to Uranus Rx in Taurus the October surprises will probably begin early.

And on a personal or professional level, if you want to grow, work on or build more trusted relationships, honest communication is the only way to go.

With Mars retrograde moving into a square with destructive Pluto, now direct, aggression will rise and systems that are broken will continue to be revealed. So if you want to move your life and the world forward in new and better ways, join forces with others that share your mission and vision. And assert your will and power courageously and confidently in ways that help things along without destroying more than what’s necessary. We don’t have to throw the baby out with the bath water.

And with Venus in Virgo making a positive trine to Uranus retrograde in Taurus over the weekend, perhaps our efforts to make mindful decisions, and choose to rise above the fray and take conscious assertive action to serve a greater good, we will be rewarded.

Speaking of working toward a greater good; finally, the Sun in Libra squares Jupiter in Capricorn on Sunday. My wish is that this leaves us considering what we can do, and what's possible, if we come together to build  back better after this very trying 2020. 
Let’s do it for ourselves, our families, loved ones, friends, countries and global community.

Capricorn is all about change. And it’s the theme of this entire year. Change is upon us whether we are ready for it or wanting it. So accepting this truth and searching our hearts for what we honestly want the future to look like is the best use of our time right now. Just be honest, with yourself and others. The truth will set us all free.

Sept. 28th - Oct. 4th, 2020

Picture
​This week ahead puts Mars Rx in Aries even further into the spotlight. For better or worse, he will be pushing his agenda and fighting for what he wants at all costs. And with the Sun in fair minded, considerate and accommodating Libra, hopefully we can find common ground so everyone has a chance to get something out of the struggle.

We kick things off Monday with Mars making an easy trine to Venus in Leo, which can be very exciting for those in happy, passionate relationships, or on a creative roll that you want to keep up the momentum on. If you're feeling stuck you might get just the boost of energy you need to rekindle love or start again on a stalled project.

Tuesday is a big one with Saturn coming out of retrograde, where he's been since May. This awakening will call for us to start taking more accountability and responsibility for our lives and choices, especially if we've been avoiding doing this. Either way, Mars steps in to make sure. And if you have already been doing your work in this area, this aspect can help with planning things out for a better way forward. If you haven't you will feel the forceful push to start making real and necessary change.

Thursday we have the Full Moon in Aries for which Mars is the ruler. And he can bring extra trouble to a situation now or help you see the truth of things from the past so you can recognize what needs to shift directions to move toward a better future. Bring selfish and getting your own way may feel great in the moment, but you have to ask yourself if the pay off will be worth it in the long run.

The next day Venus leaves Leo for more practical Virgo, so a good, kind, and honest dialogue using constructive criticism instead of demands and accusations can be a better place to start to overcome or work through your issues with others. The Moon moving through Taurus over the weekend should be a helpful assist as well.

Then Sunday the final power planet, Pluto in Capricorn, comes out of his retrograde, which can feel like a phoenix rising from the ashes of hell. Having been pulled down into a harsh holding pattern for the last 5 months it may be a slow crawl back to the light and what will be the new reality, but the feelings of determination to survive and thrive in a new way is stronger than ever.

Libra Season Highlights

Picture
This Libra Season does come with a lot of changing energy and some intensified challenges. The Sun will move in to oppose Mars Rx in Aries and square the Capricorn cohort. So seeking ways to find common ground, a middle way and places where we can agree and work together with others will be principle for creating more unity and avoid causing more division and struggle going forward.

Here is a glimpse of the highlights for Libra Season. Mercury and Venus switch signs, Saturn and Pluto switch to forward direction again, and Mercury goes retrograde. And an Aries Full Moon and Libra New Moon bring calls for important evaluation and choices to be made that will make or break missions, relationships, and systems and set the course of the next six months and beyond. ​

Sept. 22nd - Sept. 27th, 2020

Picture
​This week brings in Libra Season and the Fall Equinox. Libra seeks to keep the peace and will accommodate wherever possible to make nice and maintain harmony. And a good reminder for this time is that we can only get what we give. This is the only way balance can be built and anyone can really win.
Mercury has been in Libra since September 5th and the messenger planet completes his passage here this week before entering Scorpio on Sunday. The focus on talks and negotiations with partners will continue throughout Libra season, but getting along may become more challenging and tough as Mercury moves into a square with Saturn Rx in Capricorn and an opposition to Mars Rx in Aries this week.

We will see this play out on a larger scale as battles for justice, litigation for keeping promises and standing up for what is fair, right and for the highest good. Hopefully the kindheartedness of Libra will win over the powers that be and respectful decisions can be made.

This concept applies to us all in our daily lives as well. Tensions are high and so no matter what you might be fighting for in your own life right now it will be beneficial to approach things from a place of real compassion and compromise in order to make sensible choices and important changes that are right for you, but in respectful ways that don’t make the process harder than it has to be.

We end the week with Mercury moving into Scorpio which make talks tougher because emotions will be running higher. So overall this week watching our words and tone, expressing our thoughts and feelings honestly, and trying to be vulnerable instead of closed off will help resolve any issues on the table.
