gemini- with your ruler retrograde in your sister sign of virgo (mercury also rules virgo) it’s likely been a whacky couple of weeks for you so far. asking a gemini to slow down, take their time or sleep in is like asking the sun to take a day off from shining. yet that is what this retrograde is asking of you! the only way to access the deep recesses of your psyche is to turn attention within- that happens in dreamtime, meditation, and other such things that require you stop and turn within. this week if you are doing your inner work profound insights about your past and how it informs your present and future can arise. take notes! with both the sun and mercury aligned with the north node in your house of intimacy you can find some of your most intimate, vulnerable moments are just the ticket to get deeper access to your unconscious past. the weekend is lovely as venus in your house of romance aligns with neptune and chiron- bringing the heart to Divine and healing waters! letting Love in is only painful to the ego- let go of your mind and think with your heart this weekend.

virgo- with your ruler retrograde in your sign you can likely attest to the past few weeks being a tad intense. when mercury goes retrograde we are asked to slow down, turn within and pay attention to what lies beneath the surface. virgo is so good at seeing all the details but sometimes they can get in the way of seeing the bigger picture or going beyond the facade. if you can stay tuned to the inner realms this week can be evolutionary- as the sun and mercury cojoin and align with the north node in your 5th house of romance you may find important conversations, communication and insights about who you are and how you Love can come to light. speak your Truth- first and foremost to yourself. this weekend the goddess of Love and beauty in your house of self-worth harmoniously aligns with neptune and chiron in your house of service. serving those you Love is beautiful- but serving yourself is part of self-Love. you can only Love another as much as you Love yourself. this weekend give Love to any lack that you perceive within.

libra- mercury is known as the psychopomp- one of very few individuals who was capable of moving between the upper and lower worlds. when mercury is retrograde he takes his tri-annual trip down into the underworld, as he is doing now. with his placement in your 12th house of the unconscious this journey can be deeper than most. looking at your unconscious stuff around perfection, criticism, and a need for order is up for you now! this week as the sun and mercury cojoin in your 12th house you can have deep insights, aha moments and profound dreams that reveal the deepest contents of your unconscious to you- pay attention! with both the sun and mercury trine to the north node in your 4th house of home and family major evolutionary growth is possible regarding dealing with your past (childhood and past lives) as well as finding a sense of home (it all starts within!). your ruler in your sign trines neptune and chiron at the end of the week taking your heart to deeply healing and Divine waters. the power of Love can be felt this weekend! start by loving yourself as you are.

aquarius- with the psychopomp mercury doing his retrograde journey in your 8th house of shamanistic journeys into the underworld there is a deep internal process going on that involves you confronting deep fears and unresolved wounds around death, sex and power. this week as the sun and mercury align, marking the midway point of mercury’s retrograde, significant conversations, communication and insights can arise that shine a light on the deepest aspects of yourself. pay attention to your dreams- as the messages can come in many forms. both the sun and mercury trine the north node in your 12th house making this unconscious journey deeply significant and evolutionary. with all the earth signs in your most hidden houses there is a need to look at your relationship to grounding, commitment and being in your body. at the end of the week venus trines neptune and chiron in your sign, bringing deep heart healing and an ability to channel and experience creativity and romance in powerful ways. let your deep inner process open you up to Divine Love!

pay attention to your dreams this week- they are trying to show you something important.

Weekly Horoscope August 23

with mercury retrograde for the next 3 weeks (until 9/12) and a plethora of mercury aspects throughout this week our internal, introspective journey of the conscious mind and intellect is highlighted. wherever mercury is retrograding in your chart you are being asked to rethink, review and revise things on a deep level. paying attention to the details is key with virgo but watch for the tendency to overanalyze and stay in the head. we need to drop down into the unconscious when mercury goes retrograde and the mind can inhibit that at times. pay attention to all conversation and communication had this week, as well as to your dreams which are essentially messages from the unconscious.

aries- with mercury retrograde in your 6th house of work, service and health you can expect to do a lot of rethinking/revising/reviewing of your day to day matters, how you perform your service in the world and how you take care of your body in the process. with aries’ tendency to go-go-go you need to make sure your vehicle is up to speed and that you relax when necessary. if you overdo it the coming weeks can find your body reminding you to SLOW DOWN in the form of illness, accidents and/or extreme mental fatigue. don’t wait until you are forced to slow down- do it now!

taurus- with mercury retrograding in your 5th house of creativity, romance and children making the coming weeks a time to deeply review, rethink and revision how you express yourself creatively and how you share your Love. past ex’s can come back into your life for a last go-around or final closure- as can old creative dreams. looking at how your level of self-worth reflects your ability to connect intimately and romantically with others can prove insightful. this is a time to clear out your romantic closets- so use the time wisely.

gemini- your ruling planet is retrograding in your 4th house of home and family making the coming weeks an appropriate time to rethink, review and revise your connections to your past, your family dynamics and your home life. this is a time to focus on your deepest inner workings- your inner psychology. gemini is very mind-based but thinking and analyzing won’t cut it. you have to get to the roots of things- and that requires going into some very deep and possibly dark feelings. both Light and shadow are the dance of Love (rumi)- get ready to shadow dance!

cancer- with mercury retrograding in your 3rd house of communication, the house mercury rules- the coming weeks a perfect time to rethink, review, and revise what you say, how you say it and why. with the conscious mind turned inward towards the unconscious you can have some very profitable conversations with your own unconscious via intuitions, synchronicities, and active imagination. mercury also rules your 12th house of the unconscious- so pay attention to your dreams over the coming 3 weeks, they can prove to be very insighful. seeing how your unconscious informs how you perceive the world around you can be illuminating. find a way to bring the dark to consciousness without flooding it with too much Light.

leo- mercury is retrograde in your 2nd house of self-worth, finances and abundance consciousness asking you to rethink, review and revise how you deal with money and how your own level of self-esteem informs how you deal with money. we can only accept as much as we feel we are worthy of- the connection between money and self-worth is profound and often overlooked. details are key this week- looking at the nooks and crannies of your finances may not be fun but come end of september you will be glad you did.

virgo- your ruling planet is retrograding in your sign making the coming weeks a very potent time for you to rethink, review and revise your entire life’s journey! what are you doing, who are you, why are you here? mercury’s retrograde in your 1st house can make all these questions quite profound for you, and taking the time to honor the question without expecting an immediate answer is key. the gift is in the journey not finding the destination. shifts in your self-understanding can precipitate shifts in your career focus and life path. everything is up for review right now- relationships, life path, home life, psychological life. take them all in stride. you do not need the answers yet- just find the right questions. the retrograde lasts for 3 weeks. give yourself time.

libra- mercury is retrograde in your 12th house of the unconscious, making the coming weeks a powerful time to work with your dreams! when the conscious mind turns inward towards the unconscious IN the house of the unconscious you have a double whammy of introspective energy coming your way. looking deep within at your relationship to the virgo archetype- to perfection, criticalness, attention to detail and the need to serve- can be prove very insightful over the coming weeks. your spiritual and philosophical beliefs are also up for review. how does your Cosmic understanding of the Universe help or hinder your path? these are the things to ponder over the coming weeks. enjoy the inward journey.

scorpio- with mercury retrograding in your 11th house of friendships and community connections the coming weeks are a perfect time to rethink, review and revise who you connect with and why. old friends from the past can come back into the picture- for closure or perhaps reconnection- as can old hopes and dreams you may have forgotten about. reconnecting with those who are really important and releasing those whose time has come is part of your mercury retrograde process. confronting deep fears around death, sex and power can also arise. these are your areas of life (scorpio rules all of them) but exploring your own deep fears is very different than probing other’s. shamanistic journeys abound in the coming weeks- with friends or alone they can be quite fruitful if you allow yourself to go deeper than you’ve ever gone before.

sagittarius- mercury is retrograde in your 10th house of career and standing in the world making the coming weeks the perfect time to rethink, review and revise what your purpose is and what your Soul is asking of you in this lifetime. any stalls in plans you have career-wise are best seen as opportunities to ask more questions and get better answers, rather than seeing them as a wrench thrown in your plans. sometimes the Universe has a clearer picture of what is going on that you do, and learning to go with the flow and see the gift in what is unfolding can be quite an asset on the path. relationships may also be up for review or revision- allow the questions to be asked without necessarily needing the answers right now. they will come in time. enjoy the journey.

capricorn- with mercury retrograding in your 9th house of beliefs and connection to Higher Self, the coming weeks are a great time to rethink, review and revise your spiritual and philosophical beliefs and the bigger picture of the world around you. as a typically traditional, convention sign you can often hold on to old beliefs that no longer serve you- and may in fact have stopped serving you years ago! the coming weeks can provide you with many opportunities to challenge old beliefs and put things to rest. in order to expand spiritually we often have to break down the walls the enclose us. the mind can create the most insidious walls- so take this retrograde to hack some of them down and liberate your mind!

aquarius- mercury is retrograde in your 8th house of intimacy, sexuality, and relationship to power- making the coming weeks a great time to rethink, review and revise your deepest fears, your greatest desires, and your Soul transformation in deep, intense ways. old material can come up in the form of old intimate connections with others or old fears you thought you put to rest. letting the psychopomp (i.e. mercury) take you into the underworld and back again is the gift of this mercury retrograde for you. explore your ideas about Love and intimacy in the coming weeks. do any inhibit your ability to actually experience more Love? if so re-do them, or throw them away. relationships can shift in the coming weeks, but more importantly so can your heart.

pisces- with mercury’s retrograde falling in your opposite sign of virgo the coming weeks are a time to rethink, review and revise committed relationships in your life. old loves can come back to haunt you- in dreams or in reality. closure may be what is necessary or it could be something more- only you will know. looking at your beliefs and understandings in how relationships work is key. and looking into your past- childhood and beyond- can help you see patterns that play out in your relationships today in an ever greater light. a lot needs to be said over the coming weeks that has been hiding on the level of the unconscious. allow the process to unfold naturally and you can find your relationships are in new territory come the end of september.

flow with the process.

Weekly Horoscope August 9

this week’s activity starts out with a bang with the new moon in leo and venus’ activation of the jupiter/pluto square occurring on the same day- monday. the new moon is symbolic of new beginnings- yet this one is interacting with nearly every planet in a dynamic (and perhaps intense) way, making this new moon doubly potent. the new moon’s activation of the grand cross points us in the direction of where to put our energy in order to deal with the karmic quickening (aka grand cross energies) that is being activated in our lives. what we are being asked to start anew is not going to be easy or breezy, but it will be karmically good for us. it will push us out of our comfort zones and ask that we truly take responsibility for who we are and how we deal with our own energy. meanwhile with venus, mars and saturn in libra there is a deep lesson happening about our feminine and masculine energies- and how they meet. saturn’s lessons tend to be a bit of a drudge. he forces us to deal with things we’ve been dragging our feet on for weeks (or years, or lifetimes!). learning the lessons ain’t fun- but it’s necessary to move into the next phase of life. both of these astrological occurrences unfold throughout the week, although they are most intensely felt on monday. if you can stay with the intensity and burn through the karmic crap you can move through the alchemical fire and rise above it all like a phoenix out of the ashes.

aries- the new moon on monday falls in your 5th house romance, creativity and children pushing you to start a new chapter in how you love, express yourself and connect to the child within (and without). the grand cross energies are activating the angles of your chart making this a dynamic time of transformative growth- but growth doesn’t happen if you stay in old patterns. learning how to express love in new, expansive ways is part of what you are being asked to do right now. with venus, mars and saturn in your 7th house of relationships learning to master your feminine and masculine energies in balanced ways is key. if you feel a sense of constriction or constraint in relationships right now check to see if something is truly holding you back or if you are being pruned and asked to learn how to think of someone else as much as you think of yourself. you can start a whole new chapter in Love this week if you let yourself soften.

taurus- monday’s new moon falls in your 4th house of home and family making significant new beginnings in your inner life and home life the key to dealing with the intensity of the grand cross energies occurring in your life right now. this new moon is highly activated making it dynamic and intense. the birthing process this new moon requires is something akin to death and rebirth. something old has to pass away so that something new can be born. in your psychological life what needs to be let go of? any intense dynamics in your home or family life are mirroring something back for you- what is it? meanwhile your ruler venus aligns with mars and saturn in your 6th house of work and service asking you to buckle down when it comes to your health and/or the service you provide in the world. saturn demands impeccability of action and intent- self-adjustments can be made this week that alter you inner and outer dynamics profoundly. these adjustments won’t be easy- there are growing pains involved- but they will be fruitful.

gemini- your 3rd house of communication- the house your sign rules- is the home of the new moon on monday, making communication pivotal for you this week (even more so that usual). with the grand cross dynamically involved in this lunation the intensity you’ve been dealing with related to money, shared resources, intimate relationships and/or situations with children require that you speak your Truth in order to deal with what has arisen. you’d think as a gemini speaking anything would be easy- but gemini is a sign that likes to keep things light and fun- so the more difficult conversations that ask you to get real may be things you actually avoid. in order to evolve during this time you must master your communication- there is no way around it. with venus, mars and saturn in your 5th house of romance, creativity and children you are also being asked to master your own feminine and masculine energies in profound ways. look at your romantic relationship, your creative expressions and/or your children and see them all as mirrors. where the yin or yang are out of whack in them- take it as an indicator of what YOU need to look at. if you come at it from this way- you can learn a lot and work through a lot of karma this week.

cancer- with the new moon falling in your 2nd house of money and self-worth you can commence a whole new cycle relating to your own self-esteem and how your abundance consciousness, but this new cycle comes with a price tag. this new moon is dynamically interrelated with the grand cross, which is actually a t-square that is pointing at your sign. any new beginnings you initiate right now will require massive growth and shifting out of old patterns- and the process will not be easy. the most significant growth comes when we learn how prune ourselves first- getting rid of the past is key to moving into the future. with venus, mars and saturn in your 4th house of home and family there are deep structural changes occurring in your relationship to the feminine and masculine within. any dynamics playing out in your external home or family are mirroring your internal processes. mastery of yourself begins in the deepest recesses of your being. this week you have opportunities to go into ever deeper places within to excavate and clear out the debris. don’t put it off- it has to be done at sometime in order to move forward in life.

leo- this new moon falls in your sign making this a pivotal week in your yearly cycle, essentially starting out your new solar year (the other pivotal cycle commences at your solar return). it’s time to do things in a new way- to start a new chapter. this lunation is highly activated by the grand cross making it an important piece in dealing with the intense energies you’ve been experiencing in your life over the past several weeks (and beyond- but it started to get really intense as the sun moved into your sign around july 21st). the key to dealing with any issues involving communication, health, work, or your deepest unconscious fears can be found in this week’s new moon- but it requires that you step out of your comfort zone and do things differently. if ego gets involved it will be a no go. rise above and connect to the Higher Self and you will see your way through. venus, mars and saturn are aligned in your 3rd house of communication asking you to master your communication skills in important ways. with libra in this house you often prefer to communicate from a harmonious, peace loving stance, but there are times when getting your message across requires a heavier energy. saturn is teaching you this lesson- but first you must learn it with yourself. where are you not seeing the Truth within? where are you keeping things light so as to avoid shadow. if you go into the places that scare you this new moon can catapult you onto a whole new level of your evolutionary path.

virgo- monday’s new moon falls in your 12th house of the unconscious, signifying that any new beginnings you intend in the external world must commence on the internal psychic levels of your unconscious. pay attention to your dreams this week! the unconscious communicates through dreams- and important messages can only be delivered if you listen for them. the grand cross is highly activated by this new moon- any intensity you’ve been dealing with in your life related to money, self-worth, romance, or intimacy can be dealt with by going within. remember- everything without is a mirror or a polar opposite reflection of something within. with venus, mars and saturn aligned in your 2nd house of money and self-worth you are being asked to master your own feminine and masculine energies in a way that bolsters your self-esteem. as a very humble, grounded sign learning to realize your own worth is a life-lesson of yours. the new moon in leo- a sign whose confidence and creativity shines- can help you get into contact with parts of yourself that have always been there waiting to be acknowledged. you just have to push past your own karmic crap to access it.

libra- the leo new moon on monday falls in your 11th house of friendship and community- and it is the outlet, but also the activator, of the grand cross energies that are tearing down, restructuring, rebirthing and transforming your life. the new moon is dynamically involved with the grand cross, making any new beginnings you commence regarding your friendships and your place in community key in dealing with old karma and processing of the past. in order to grow we must prune- and this new moon is no exception! your ruler venus aligns with mars and saturn in your sign making the lessons of self-mastery and feminine/masculine balance very, very important for you. learning to express both yin and yang is the key to wholeness, yet teetering between the two and never taking a stand on either end is more like libran indecisiveness. balancing softness with assertion, kindness with will, is your lesson this week.

scorpio- monday’s new moon falls in your 10th house of career and standing in the world pointing to the way out of all the grand cross intensity that has been dynamically activating your chart (and the world) over the past several weeks. any situations involving work, health, communication or deep unconscious fears can be dealt with by starting a new chapter in your life path- but the new chapter that asks to be written will not be easy or quick. it requires work and pruning away of the old- this new moon demands we deal with anything we are not acknowledging! meanwhile venus, mars and saturn are aligned in your 12th house of the unconscious bringing important lessons about self-mastery of the yin and yang within into play. confronting deeply held beliefs and patterns about what the feminine and masculine are and what you are allowed to portray can open up a whole new way of being- but the confrontation of the unconscious required ain’t no walk in the park. with your 12th house so highly activated paying attention to your dreams is key. answers come in the middle of the night that the ego would never allow to come in the light of the day. pay attention to the signs- and let your Soul, rather than your ego, interpret them.

sagittarius- the leo new moon on monday falls in the house your sign rules- the 9th house of beliefs and connection to your Higher Self- making this new moon quite auspicious for you. the intensity of the past weeks (and months) can find an outlet in this new moon, but it requires that you acknowledge shadow and move through limiting patterns and beliefs so that you can make space for the new that wants to be birthed in your life. any situations involving money, self worth, intimacy, friendships or community connections that have been intense can be dealt with and dramatically altered if you change your perception of the bigger picture. connecting to your Higher Self and letting that guide you can make sense of a lot that your ego does not understand. venus, mars and saturn are aligned in your 11th house of friendships and community connections where lessons abound about who you spend time with and how they can support the new you coming through. old connections that are devolutionary (meaning they devolve you rather than evolve you) need to be put in the past. a good gage of this is to see who shares your view of what life is about. you can be friends with anyone for sure- but if your goal is consciousness it is key to not have certain kinds of energy in your inner circle. you know what is right for you- so get to it!

capricorn- the leo moon falls in your 8th house of intimacy, sexuality and Soul transformation making these scorpionic realms the key to dealing with the grand cross energies that are permeating (and perhaps pummeling) your life right now. the new moon is highly activated by the grand cross, so any new beginnings undertaken now are not going to be easy or breezy, but they will be very cathartic! confronting the shadow realms and your own stuff around ego is key. with venus and mars aligned with your ruler saturn in your 10th house, the house your sign rules, significant lessons about what your purpose is and why you are here can be supported by this new moon. what is in the shadow is not just our devilish side but also our unknown creative gifts. looking into your own Soul can help you see what lessons of self-mastery are being asked of you- and can help point you in the right direction life-path wise. the week is ripe for growth- inner and outer- but start within. the rest will follow.

aquarius- with the new moon falling in your 7th house of relationships a whole new chapter in your connections with others can commence this week, but it requires some tough Love and hard work. this new moon activates the grand cross- so the intense energies you’ve been feeling the last weeks (and months) can be dealt with by anything new endeavors undertaken in the relationship department but they must be karmically clear! letting go of old patterns and beliefs in relationship is the only way you can bring in the new. when you find the pattern you’ve been playing out or the belief you’ve been holding onto you can then assess all connections with others from this standpoint: does it repeat my past? if so- say goodbye. venus, mars and saturn are aligned in your 9th house of Higher Self asking you to master your own feminine and masculine energies from a much Higher perspective. as you are able integrate your own yin and yang and then observe things from the Soul’s perspective (rather than the ego) your relationships will take on new life and move into new dimensions. any old dimensional connections need to be released. you can’t build a new house on an old foundation. it’s time to let go and move on.

pisces- monday’s new moon falls in your 6th house of health, work and service- pointing the way towards transformation. this new moon is dynamically activating the grand cross, so any new beginnings undertaken this week will come with a price. dealing with old karma is not fun- but it’s necessary if you want to start with a clean slate. any situations involving money, self worth, shared resources, intimacy, friendship or community connections can be remedied by making significant self-adjustments. if you think that in order for a situation to be better someone or something else has to change then you must think again. change starts from within. this is not to say that others aren’t responsible for their behavior- but that you are responsible for yours- and for whatever energies you allow into your life. with venus, mars and saturn aligned in your 8th house of intimacy, shared resources and Soul transformation there are lessons about mastering your own energies and knowing where your boundaries are. learning when to give and when not to, when to assert yourself and when to hold back, are important lessons to learn. this week you have opportunities to learn a little more.

Divine Harmony - “My one wish for humanity is to open the heart chakras of everyone on the planet. I hope to assist as many people as I can in healing their bodies, minds and souls as I journey on this same path of healing for myself.

this week mars finishes of his activation of the grand cross early in the week and then venus moves into libra on friday and commences her activation of the grand cross as well. both the masculine and the feminine are getting a shake up and a wake up call right now. with libra involved this is playing out in relationships- particularly romantic ones- as well as in situations involving money and self-worth. on monday jupiter squares pluto, expanding our need for transformation or our need for power. if the latter happens egotism and power/control dynamics can play out with others- so be aware! friday is an intense day with the cancer moon activating the grand cross and chiron aspecting the mind and heart. deep stuff can come up and wounds can either be activated or healed- depending on how you work with the energy. it’s another activated week- and the energy does not stop until the end of august. so stay with it and ride it through. anything unresolved in your life, unacknowledged, ignored or put into shadow is up right now. it’s time to step up.

aries- week of 8/2-8/8
with your ruling planet in your house of relationships and venus joining in towards the end of the week you’d think your relationships were full of vitality, passion and amour, but with the grand cross getting potently activated you may find your relationships resemble more of a minefield than a playing field. if this is the case you are being asked to look at old patterns you play out in relationship that are no longer serving you and LET THEM GO! aries is the warrior and your gifts of courage, direction and action are unparalleled. but your shadow qualities of selfishness, impulsivity and inconsideration of others can really bite you in the butt in relationships. this week pay attention to the feminine energy in your life and your reactions to it. how you relate to the feminine is very important right now- especially how you relate to your own feminine aspect of self.

taurus- week of 8/2-8/8
your ruling planet moves into libra and follows mars lead in activating the grand cross this week and next week, bringing the next chapter in the story of major upheaval and evolution that is playing out in your work life and your health. as a taurus you are an earth sign and are intimately tied into the body and nature. with venus, mars and saturn in your 6th house of fellow earth sign virgo how you connect to and take care of your body and how you serve others is undergoing major change. any health stuff that comes up for you right now is trying to get your attention to show you the deeper body/mind connection that needs to be dealt with. likewise in the work sector- if what you are doing is not fulfilling and actually limiting your growth change is certainly on the horizon. take the first step and see where it leads you…

gemini- week of 8/2-8/8
there is a restructuring of your love life, creative and possibly children situation going on right now big time. with mars in your 5th house and venus to follow at the end of the week a lot of energy is being focused on your romantic, creative and procreative energies, and with saturn there as well there are major lessons being learned about commitments, boundaries, responsibilities and fairness in your life. last week mars unearthed some anger and a need for assertiveness in your life and this week the goddess draws your attention to the feminine side of things- where you compromise, keep the peace and find balance. a new love is set to alter your life tremendously- a romance, a child, and/or a creative endeavor. this love is based on reality though- so grounding and sticking through the hard times is part of your saturnine lessons. more to come this week!

cancer- week of 8/2-8/8
the deep, structural changes happening in your home life and inner life are setting the stage for the life you are building that is just starting to manifest itself. with venus, mars and saturn all in your 4th house (the house that cancer rules) a lot of energy is being focused and disciplined within and to your roots (literal and symbolic). dealing with old karmic patterns from the past- childhood, ancestral, even past lives- is part of the clearing out process in order to create a solid foundation for what is to come. any rocking of the boat in your home or family life that occurred last week was initiating this process. this week there is more- particularly at the start and end of the week- but if you do the deep work the Universe is asking of you you can find a deep clearing within and without that lets you move onto the next level in powerful ways. the work it is worth it.

leo- week of 8/2-8/8
communication is key! with libra in your 3rd house of communication you have a tendency to speak from a place of peace, harmony and balance. ever the diplomat when it comes to connecting with others- you can be counted on to find the balance in any tenuous situation. yet saturn is now in your 3rd house- where he will be for the next 2 1/2 years- asking you to learn valuable lessons about communicating your experience authentically and honestly- even if it means expressing a little discord and anger. with mars and now venus in this house activation of communication is playing out big time and important conversations are being had. early in the week and later in the week are more intense- but intensity is an opportunity for transformation. move through the thick of it and let the light of Truth lead the way.

virgo- week of 8/2-8/8
it’s not really about the money. it’s about what lies beneath it. value of yourself, your own self-worth, is where all manner of abundance first springs from. if somewhere deep within you feel you are lacking- then the outer will express the inner. with saturn in your 2nd house of finances and self-worth for the next 2 1/2 years deep lessons about these subjects are set to unfold. with mars and at the end of the week venus activating saturn you have a lot of activity and energy focused on money and self-worth- and any old limiting beliefs that allow you to believe in lack or not being good enough need to be faced and tossed. early in the week and later in the week things are most intense- but the point is to get you to look at some deep issues that hold you back from all that you can be. don’t view it as yet another area you haven’t got it together. view it as an area where a goldmine is waiting to be found. that goldmine is within you.

libra- week of 8/2-8/8
you are the star this week in the heavens! with your ruling planet venus moving into your sign, along with mars and saturn already there, a lot of activity is being focused on your sense of self, your persona and your Soul’s path. saturn is the planet of discipline and structure and he rules your 4th house of family and home. as he cojoins mars (last week) and venus (this week) a deep restructuring of your masculine and feminine energies are occurring. libra is the sign of the scales- always trying to find the perfect balance. sometimes to find that balance you have to go off balance. life is not about living in the middle, neutral path where there is no fierceness or no softness- no yang or no yin. life is about experiencing all the essences of life completely. this week as things come up if you find your libran tendency to neturalize arise check to see if it would serve you to embrace more or embrace less. find your own middle path- and express that through your journey.

scorpio- week of 8/2-8/8
12th house activation is intense- but if anyone can deal with it’s a deep, intense scorpio! with mars and saturn and by the end of the week venus all clustered in your 12th house of the unconscious a lot of activation is occurring on the deep psychic levels of your being. pay attention to your dreams! messages from the unconscious may not be easy to decipher for the conscious mind, but they certainly come in undiluted as your ego has no means of controlling what dreams come in. the 12th house is also the house of self-undoing and of secrecy. confronting how you self-sabotage and/or looking at secrets you keep to the deeper truth that you are actually trying to keep them from yourself may not be fun- but it sure is beneficial for your Soul’s growth. this week go boldly where you have not gone before- deeper within. do it as though your life depends on it.

sagittarius- week of 8/2-8/8
is your community changing? are you friendships shifting? now that mars and soon venus are joining saturn in your 11th house of community and friendship major structural changes in your support systems are occurring in tangible ways this week (and last week as well). with libra in your 11th house you have the tendency to be neutral and balanced in friendship situations, which is an asset at times and at other times its your achilles heel. learning hard-earned lessons about being real and solidifying friendships with others on a deeper level than just social niceties is part of saturn’s plan. as your hopes and wishes for your life change, the people you surround yourself with need to change in kind. honestly assess what truly supports your Soul and give that more energy- what does not let it go. leave the past behind.

capricorn- week of 8/2-8/8
your ruler is in your 10th house- the house your sign rules- and this week with venus and mars packed in the same house you have a lot of activity and focus going on in your career and life path arenas. your sign (and planet and house) is all about taking responsibility, stepping up, and finding the discipline and drive within to succeed. as saturn transits your 10th house over the coming 2 1/2 years you can expect to step up big career-wise, but you will also have to make a lot of sacrifices and work really darned hard to get there. this week there is a disciplining of your masculine and feminine energies- of your will and drive and your creativity and romantic nature. with saturn cojoining the Divine Lovers you have the capacity to channel some profound creativity but you must work for it. balance commitment with freedom- and find your means to fly.

aquarius- week of 8/2-8/8
deep spiritual and philosophical changes are going on in your psyche. with saturn in your 9th house of Higher Self a deeper connection to Who You Really Are is underway, and this week as both venus and mars (the Divine Lovers) dance in this same house a lot of creative and energetic focus on the bigger picture is set to occur. who are you? why are you here? what is your Truth and how can you live it and embody it in ever more committed ways? looking at how old beliefs have limited your self-expression and ability to grow- and then promptly tossing them- is recommended. saturn rewards pragmatism, integrity and reality checks. where can you align yourself with a more authentic expression of your own Spirit? this week you have opportunities to do just that- but the unfolding of it all will happen over the years to come. take one step at a time.

pisces- week of 8/2-8/8
the Divine Lovers (venus and mars) will both be in your 8th house of intimacy, sexuality, and shared resources by the end of the week. there they will join saturn who is setting up shop to teach you valuable lessons about deep relationships, the sharing of power, and transformation that comes via intimacy and vulnerability- all of which will unfold over the coming 2 1/2 years. mars can activate some feistiness in the bedroom- so watch out for power/control dynamics. saturn is asking that you discipline your will, as well as your more receptive side. with libra it’s all about a balance. intimate relationships are the source of your greatest transformation this week- and any intensity that arises is an opportunity to move through and clear deep stuff that holds you back from more of what you really want in your relationships. the deeper the process the more joy (and pleasure) you can contain. go deep.

Weekly Horoscope July 26

this week is potent and intense! it seems like those words accurately sum up most of 2010 so far and definitely the next month of outer planet transits, and this week is no exception. on monday saturn opposes uranus for the 5th and final time, but for the first time in the signs of libra and aries. the pitting of the old versus the new, status quo versus change, commitment and stability versus change and rebellion is in full effect this week! shifts in how we relate to the Sacred Feminine and the Sacred Masculine abound. with uranus in aries there is an awakening of the warrior, will, drive, passion, assertiveness and anger, while saturn in libra is restructuring relationships, helping us define boundaries and teaching us the fine art of give and take in connections with others. then on thursday mars moves into libra, on friday mars opposes uranus and on saturday mars cojoins saturn. when any of the inner/personal planets transit the outer planets they tend to energetically activate the outer planet configurations- in this case it’s the grand cardinal cross planets of jupiter, saturn, uranus and pluto that are getting a major dose of the warrior energy. where ever aries and libra are in your chart there is a redressing of balances going on.

if you own your aries energy and are courageous, willful, assertive and perhaps even angry and aggressive but you project/disconnect from your aries energy then the lesson for you is to own your libra energy and learn to compromise, think of others first and relate in peaceful, harmonious ways. if you own your libra energy and are kind, thoughtful, balanced, and interested in harmony in relationships but you project/disconnect from your aries energy then the lesson for you is to assert yourself, define your boundaries, say no and take charge in situations you have allowed to go on for too long. we each have different lessons to learn- but whatever they are they will come up this week. pay attention and do the work, and liberating shifts will soon come your way.

aries- week of 7/26-8/1
the last 2 years of satun/uranus oppositions have shaken up and restructure your unconscious (12th house) and work/service sector (6th) bringing many changes that hopefully woke up your spiritual and service orientation in significant ways. now that uranus has moved into your sign and saturn has moved into your opposite sign of libra you are being asked to learn lessons about balancing your masculine and feminine within, and as reflected in your relationships. now that saturn is permanently in libra for the next 2 1/2 years you can expect your relationships to take on very significant roles. being realistic, grounded and committed in connections with others is key. if you are in something that is flighty, not real or not based on a true balance of give and take- it will likely end with saturn making you take responsibility for all your connections with others. the trick is to figure out to liberate more of your fire and passion without burning others out. learn when to tone it down and when to back down (not the warrior’s favorite thing to do) and the next 2 1/2 years can bring in some of the most significant relationships of your life.

taurus- week of 7/26-8/1
with saturn in your fellow venus-ruled sign of libra lessons around balancing your propensity to the more yin aspects of life- peace, harmony, connection, beauty and balance- with the more yang aspects- will, drive, passion, assertiveness and anger- are on your horizon. with aries in the 12th house of the unconscious part of your Soul work involves making conscious and embracing the Divine Warrior within. whatever sign and planets are found in the 12th house tend to point to areas of life we are not conscious of and perhaps even fear. expressing anger, standing up for yourself, saying no, yelling if you need to, and defining your boundaries do not make you a bad person (if they are done in balanced, healthy ways)! pay attention to your dreams this week as messages from your unconscious will likely come- helping you to illuminate themes around the masculine and warrior energies in your life that need your attention. you will always be peace-loving and kind, you are a taurus after all! but learning to stand up for yourself is important. if you don’t your body will express your Soul’s dissatisfaction by illness and dis-ease (literally your Soul not being at ease). take charge!

gemini- week of 7/26-8/1
with saturn in your 5th house restructuring your sense of self, creativity and romantic relationships opposing uranus in your 11th house awakening you to your more active, courageous role in your community there is a push pull between grounding/committing and exploring/adventuring going on in your life. but if anyone can deal with seemingly opposite energies it’s a gemini (the sign of the twins)! grounding and committing is not really gemini’s forte- but being free and in constant movement is. the uranian energy may feel easier to assimilate as uranus’ sole purpose is to liberate us from the past and help us to expand beyond ourselves in visionary ways. the saturn energy, on the other hand, asks you to anchor, commit, take responsibility and stick with something. a new relationship, creative endeavor and/or child that is entering your life is set to change your life dramatically. saturn is ultimately about self-mastery. we can gain a lot of wisdom during his transits if we stay focused on honesty, integrity and the freedom found in commitment- to another, to an idea/project or to ourselves (which is the most important!). this week see where you are being asked to step up and where you are being asked to let go and let freedom in. they can seem opposite areas of existence, but there is a bridge between them that will in fact mutually support each other. you just have to find the bridge.

cancer- week of 7/26-8/1
as a cardinal sign the cardinal cross happening right now is powerfully impacting you (particularly if your sun or rising sign is in the early degrees of cancer). saturn is now permanently in your 4th house of home and family- the house cancer rules. major lessons about grounding, restructuring and anchoring in your inner life and home life abound. dealing with past life karma and stuff around your childhood or father is part of the house-cleaning process that saturn will put you through in the 2 1/2 years. prepare to grow up in profound ways over the coming years. meanwhile uranus in your 10th house is opposing saturn this week- bringing a sense of expansion, liberation, restlessness and rebelliousness to your career and life path focus. with all the energy creating shifts in your outer world it is very important that you ground and find some sense of stability within and in your home life. that is the balance of saturn and uranus in your 4th and 10th houses. the interesting thing is that as you find that inner balance you will be supported in your direction in the world. it’s all about balance of yin and yang. relationships are a key source of growth right now- find the balance in that significant connection and you will know you found it within.

leo- week of 7/26-8/1
the saturn/uranus opposition has now moved on from your 2nd and 8th houses where they shook up, liberated, and/or restructured your finances, shared resources, self-worth and intimate connections. this week the 5th and final opposition occurs in your 3rd and 9th houses where the planet of structure and discipline (saturn) and liberation and change (uranus) are now set to revamp how you communicate, think and see the world around you. with saturn in your 3rd house you can expect to be asked to take even more responsibility for the words you say. honesty, integrity and reality are the key words to keep in mind in all communication exchanges with those around you. with libra in the 3rd you have a tendency to keep the peace and look for ways to promote harmony in all communication, but if that is not balanced with the warrior who knows when to say no, get angry and define boundaries then you cannot be whole. with uranus in your 9th your spiritual and philosophical beliefs are getting awakened and radically altered in profound ways. waking up to your Higher Self in unprecedented ways is set to unfold in the coming year. as you ground your lower mind you give permission to your Higher Mind to fly higher. this may sound like an oxymoron but it’s not. the only way to find out is to try.

virgo- week of 7/26-8/1
the saturn/uranus oppositions that began back in late 2008 occurred in your sign and your polar opposite sign of pisces, which shook up relationships big time, as well as your sense of self and your direction in life. now that saturn and uranus have moved into libra and aries respectively the energy is shifting from the self/other axis to your 2nd and 8th houses of finances, shared resources, self-worth and intimate connections. saturn in your 2nd is asking you to be realistic and disciplined when it comes to money- and more importantly when it comes to realizing your own self-worth. saturn is all about reality- he doesn’t pump your ego up but he also doesn’t allow you to be overly self-deprecating. a balanced saturn knows his own worth and it comes from a grounded place of integrity and honest self-reflection. meanwhile uranus in the sign of the warrior is waking up your house of sexuality, intimacy, and Soul transformation. major shifts in your deepest intimate relationships are occurring- but you already know that don’t you? a balance of yin and yang needs to be found within before you can find it without. if you find yourself overly compromising in relationships OR overly asserting your will they both are missing something. material life is but a dream- we need to look deeper, with the heart, to see the Truth. this week you are asked to find your own Truth and to live it. nothing less will do.

libra- week of 7/26-8/1
for the last 2 years the saturn/uranus oppositions have been happening in your most hidden houses of the unconscious (saturn in the 12th) and of health and service (uranus in the 6th). this week the opposition has shifted into your sign and your polar opposite sign of aries showing that major shake ups, restructuring and liberation are set to occur in your relationships, your sense of self and your direction in life. saturn comes to teach us lessons about stepping up and being more of who we can be- and with saturn in your sign your sense of identity is being restructured over the coming 2 1/2 years. meanwhile uranus in your 7th house is bringing some radical change and enlivening new energy into your relationship sector. you may find that significant relationships ends if they no longer serve your growth, or alternatively you may find new, electric and eccentric people enter your life to help bring you back to life so-to-speak. whichever it is it is a ride of a lifetime and the best thing to do is not hold onto anything that holds you back from experiencing life (most importantly preconceptions of who you are or who others are). the seeming opposite energies of grounding/structure (saturn) and liberation/change (uranus) actually support each other. as you anchor more of who you are in the world you will find that the new energies coming into your life don’t shake you up in anxiety producing ways but actually wake you up in Soul-liberating ways. that is your path right now. embrace it and enjoy the ride!

scorpio- week of 7/26-8/1
the saturn/uranus oppositions that began in late 2008 have moved on from your 11th and 5th houses of community and self-expression, where you learned about being more of who you are and expressing that in your world and community connections, and into your 12th and 6th houses of the unconscious and health/service, where you will be confronting some of your deepest fears and realizing some of your greatest gifts while finding new ways to share your insights in service to those around you. with saturn now moved into libra and your 12th house there is a restructuring of your deepest sense of self going on- sometimes on such subtle levels you may not even realize it. paying attention to your dreams when 12th house transits occur is important- as a lot of psychic work is done in dreamtime. meanwhile uranus is in your 6th house shaking up your daily routines and work environment and asking you to be more free and courageous when it comes to the work you do. if it’s not service oriented in some way it’s not going to be fulfilling. your dreams can lead you down the right path- but you have to stay open to things you’ve never even imagined could be possible. this week important shifts occur- perhaps in your outer life, but definitely in your inner life. pay attention- nothing is insignificant right now.

sagittarius- week of 7/26-8/1
your home life and work life have been sufficiently shaken up the last couple of years due to the saturn/uranus oppositions activating your 10th and 4th houses. now the energy of discipline/structure and change/liberation has shifted into your 11th and 5th houses where the focus is on your community and friendship associations and your sense of self, romantic and creative self-expression and perhaps even children. with saturn in your 11th being realistic about the people you connect with- honestly seeing them and letting go of any connections that don’t support your forward movement- is key. grounding is not sadge’s forte- as you prefer to be free and spontaneous, but when it comes to saturn the lessons involve being anchored, pragmatic and realistic. meanwhile uranus in your 5th is shaking up your creativity and your romantic life. new energies come in, old energies go out. with uranus you never know what to expect! this is all about being more of who you are in expressive, authentic ways. whatever is not really you has to go- be it attitudes, relationships, or images of yourself that are outdated. as these two seemingly opposite energies activate each other you can find a push pull between being you and being in the world. the lesson is to find the bridge. you will know when you have found it when you are being authentically you, not to please anyone but to be who you are, and those around you accept you for it and support the best they know you can be.

capricorn- week of 7/26-8/1
the first 4 saturn/uranus oppositions shook up and restructured your mind, your beliefs and how you perceive the world around you. hopefully you have allowed your capricorn tendency to be fixed and rigid to relax so that the new life that wanted to come in could take hold. if not, it might have been a bumpy ride the last 2 years now that saturn and uranus have moved into your fellow cardinal signs of libra and aries the dynamic duo has shifted focus to your 10th and 4th houses of career/standing in the world and home/family life. major changes are underfoot in your life path and your foundations. with your ruling planet moving into the house it rules (10th) a restructuring of your calling in the world is occurring, but it’s a slow moving energy that will unfold over the next 2 1/2 years. whatever your path is asking of you- you can expect it to arrive and it requires hard work, discipline and integrity. of course that’s an easy task for a capricorn! meanwhile uranus is in your 4th house shaking things up from the inside out. uranus is a very different energy to saturn and capricorn- it brings about liberation, change, rebellion and sudden reversals. as an earth sign your desire for stability may not feel met- but your Soul’s desire for freedom and liberation certainly will. changes in where you live, who you live with, and how you relate to your past are set to unfold this year, and likely already have begun. these inner and outer changes have one focus- to help you be more of who you can be in yourSelf and in the world around you. embrace the change!

aquarius- week of 7/26-8/1
the last 2 years saturn and uranus have been restructuring and radically changing your finances, self-worth and most intimate connections. can you look back and see how the sometimes constricting and volatile energies of saturn and uranus have actually been there to serve your highest good? now that you have a newer, more liberated sense of self (and value of yourself) and have weeded out intimate connections that don’t support all of who you are, saturn and uranus have moved onto your 9th and 3rd houses of higher mind/higher beliefs and communication. this dynamic duo is helping you communicate more of who you are authentically and assertively (thanks to your ruler uranus in the warrior sign of aries) while helping you to restructure your perceptions of the world and bring more of your Higher Self into the picture (thanks to saturn in your 9th). opportunities to speak your Truth and set yourself free abound this week and in the coming months. as an aquarius the uranian energy is more familiar- being eccentric, rebellious, and avant garde is your calling card. but saturn needs to be in balance to uranus- so finding a way to be both radical and grounded, free and committed, spontaneous and responsible is key. the changes you experience are meant to be expressed- write, teach, speak, sing- whatever means you choose you are meant to share it. as long as you stay true to yourSelf (not your ego, but your Self) you can know you are on the right path.

pisces- week of 7/26-8/1
since late 2008 the saturn/uranus oppositions have been restructuring your relationships (saturn in the 7th) and shaking up your sense of self and direction in life (uranus in your sign). now that both planets have moved onto the cardinal signs of libra and aries the energy has shifted from the self/other axis to your finances and self worth (uranus in the 2nd) and your shared resources and most intimate connections (saturn in the 8th). major changes in how you value yourself will impact your ability to go deep in intimacy. as you have learned about the reality of relationships with saturn in your 7th the last 2 1/2 years, you now get to take your saturn lessons to deeper waters as you learn about the reality of intimacy, vulnerability, and Soul connections. pisces tend to be very idealistic and romantic, and not so great at seeing things (and people) as they are, not just as they can be. you are learning a lot about the reality of Love, meanwhile uranus has been shaking up, liberating and changing your sense of self in profound ways. these seeming opposite energies actually support each other. as you find freedom in commitment, and grounding in Love- you are supported to be more of who you are and realize your worth in electric ways. change is a familiar tune for pisces with uranus bringing change for the last 7 years (since he entered pisces), but the key is to balance that with commitment and grounding in important relationships. this week shifts occur that set the stage for the future. the future is bright- let it shine!

Weekly Horoscope July 19

it’s a busy week and it will stay that way for the next month as the grand cross perfects itself over the coming weeks- so brace yourself! saturn moves into libra where he will stay for the next 2 1/2 years helping us to restructure and redefine our relationships and boundaries. on friday jupiter stations retrograde in aries (the sign opposite libra) toning down the warrior energy and asking us to find balance between jupiter’s assertive, dynamic, unbounded energy and saturn’s structured, responsible, relationship-oriented energy. then on saturday jupiter squares pluto, kicking off the grand cross in earnest and unearthing power dynamics and opportunities for transformation- personally and collectively. it’s a dynamic week! get ready for a summer to remember…

aries- week of 7/19-7/25

taurus- week of 7/19-7/25
the god of abundance and growth stations retrograde in your 12th house of the unconscious this week, taking your insights and inner growth to deeper levels. turning deep within to make conscious your relationship with the warrior and your drive/will/assertiveness is part of the coming 4 month process of jupiter retrograde. meanwhile saturn permanently moves into your sister sign of libra (you both share the same ruling planet of venus)- putting a focus of growth for the next 2 1/2 years on your health and the service you provide. finding balance in your body and your work is key- as too much of anything can throw you off. on saturday jupiter squares pluto, amplifying your passion around your beliefs, just be sure to not get dogmatic and holier than thou. we all have our beliefs- and believe it or not everyone feels justified in what it is they believe. the only way to change anyone- including yourself- is consciousness. work on your own- and by osmosis you will influence others.

gemini- week of 7/19-7/25
this week saturn finally moves out of your 4th house of home and family- taking with him 2 1/2 years worth of lessons around grounding, managing family responsibilities, and dealing with what at times perhaps seemed like too much to deal with (in your inner life as well as your home life). with saturn’s move into libra the focus of your lessons will shift to romance, self-expression and children (or your other creative children). learning lessons about maturity, commitment and stability will abound in the coming years. jupiter stations retrograde in your 11th house of community and friendship helping you to integrate the opportunities you’ve encountered in connections with others. the next 4 months are a time to focus on what you want to grow in your community and connections. on saturday jupiter squares pluto, bringing opportunities for transformation and deep intimacy OR power/control struggles with intimate others. choose to let significant connections open you up rather than shut you down- it’s more fun that way

cancer- week of 7/19-7/25

Weekly Horoscope June 28

it’s a week full of karmic processing and opportunities to communicate Truth and be in integrity in our committed relationships (personal and professional)! last week’s kick off to the summer of astrology was intense- and many things have likely erupted in your life. this week we have the opportunity to deal with them- and when it comes to the karmic south node getting to the root of things is the only way to deal with them once and for all. we each have opportunities to do some deep Soul work this week- be in your Truth, shine your Light and confront the demons that held you back from moving forward.

aries- week of 6/28-7/4
the karmic work for you this week lies in your 4th house of home, family and childhood. working through any childhood or past life patterns around emotions, nurturing, the feminine and the mother is part of the clearing process. conversations with people you share your home with or parents can bring insight into why you’ve been a certain way in relationships that you never saw until now. any issues that arise in relationship or with loved ones you live with can be a mirror for your own relationship with your Mother of Father. see if you are unconsciously playing out parent/child dynamics and make any necessary changes now. if things are a bit rocky in your home/family life it’s an opportunity to look at what is causing the inner techtonic plates to shift. when you get to the core of what is within the changes you make and healing you experience can be profound! the week ends with uranus/chiron highlighting the first and last houses of your chart. deep inner healing of the unconscious leads to profound outer liberation and change in who you know yourself to be and the path your Soul has you on. acknowledge old wounds and let them see the light of day- it’s the only way to heal them. this week is about confronting shadow- that includes allowing and expressing any repressed emotions, neediness and/or dependency. showing your vulnerability does not make you weaker but in fact makes you stronger.

taurus- week of 6/28-7/4
the karmic activation this week takes place in your 3rd house of communication, and with the planet that rules communication (mercury) in this same house the entire week is a lesson in speaking up, sharing your Truth, and getting a handle on your emotional communication. with the sensitive, nurturing sign of cancer in this house you have the tendency to communicate from an emotional, more subjective place. on the positive side this is great for sharing what’s in your heart and tuning into the undercurrents of the energetic atmosphere. on the negative side there can be the tendency to get so wrapped up in emotion that it is hard to communicate from a clear, detached place. this week you will have opportunities to confront any issues you have around communication as it plays out in your immediate environment, committed others, and those you have contractual agreements with. any shadows expression of cancer- such as withholding, passive-aggressiveness, and emotional manipulation- need to be nipped in the bud. you are being asked to speak up, but with the authority and clarity you are fully capable of. all conversations are opportunities for you to share more of your Truth and be emotionally honest with others. next week’s solar eclipse will start a whole new chapter in communication- but this week is about clearing out the karmic debris so you have room for the new to come in. get your broom and start clearing!

gemini- week of 6/28-7/4
with a jam-packed 2nd house the focus for you this week in all communication and karmic processing is around money and self-worth, and how anything involving the former most certainly has a connection to the latter. with the south node there you are being asked to really look at how you manage your money- and how emotions and codependency can at times play into the decisions you make when it comes to money. on the deeper level anything happening in the money department is reflective of the underlying foundation of self-worth. honestly looking at how your self-worth is influenced by your ability to take care of other people’s emotional and financial problems- at times to the detriment of yourself- requires a deeper look at why your self-worth may be tied up with a need to give, nurture and take care of others at your own expense. cancer is the sign of the Divine Mother and at times can be a martyr- so looking to see where your selfless actions are actually not serving you is important. any stuff around money or self-worth that is unresolved can rear it’s ugly head this week- and it’s an opportunity to deal with it and clear it out. this can arise in committed relationships and contractual agreements you have with others- being sure there is an equal balance and that parental patterns of someone playing mommy or daddy and the other playing child (in adult relationships) are not playing out are key. when you realize your own worth comes not from what you give- but from who you are- you will find the safety and security you seek. and you will also be able to see very clearly those who value you for what you give rather than who you are and you can give them the boot.

cancer- week of 6/28-7/4
this week has your name written all over it. the karmic activation is all happening in your sign shining a spotlight on you and compelling you to grow beyond old karmic patterning from the past. when the south node is involved we are working to grow away from the shadow expression of the sign it is in. since the south node is in your sign you are working on some of the biggest shadow and unconscious material of your life. working through issues around healthy expression of emotions, codependency, passive-aggressive behavior, emotional manipulation, playing mommy to partners or alternatively looking to partners to play daddy, and safety and security issues is the focus. where any of this plays out in significant, committed relationships or people who have contractual agreements with can come to a head this week. the nodes want us to grow- and forcing us to look at what we don’t want to look at is often part of the process. if were up to us many would keep their heads stuck in the sand around issues they don’t want to confront- but the Universe has other plans and creates situations in which we are forced to look at the very things we have been trying to escape from. when you take the bull by the horns and show the Universe that you are not only on board, but are willing to make the first moves (rather than be forced) you have the whole cosmos backing you. this week it’s time to own your karma and take responsibility for it. next week’s solar eclipse in your sign will start a whole new chapter- but this week’s opportunities for coming clean, being honest and speaking your Truth all help prepare the way for what is to come. it will be worth it!

leo- week of 6/28-7/4
this week is full of opportunities for karmic clearing- but first it takes confronting it, making it conscious and taking responsibility for the past. with the karmic activation this week happening in a karmic house (the 12th house of the unconscious) there are some very deep, karmic and even past-life patterns that are playing out in your life ad nausea- and now’s the time to get of the karmic rollercoaster so-to-speak. with cancer in your 12th house and leo in your 1st you are often more aware of your conscious self and ego, but connecting to emotions and the feminine is part of your soul’s journey and work. any shadow expressions of cancer that you seem to keep running into outside in the world- over-emotionality, codependency, passive-aggressiveness, and neediness- are all mirrors for you. there is a reason you keep finding yourself attracted to and/or repulsed by these same traits in people over and over again- and the lowest common denominator is you. any unresolved issues you have with the Divine Feminine, the archetypal Mother, your real mother, emotions and the chaos they bring can come up for you this week (and likely has been for some time). opportunities to delve into your unconscious, speak what you see, and confront karmic patterns in significant committed relationships abound this week. connecting to your emotions and speaking what you feel authentically and honestly will start the whole process. facing the unconscious can be scary at times- but the only way out is through. these two weeks of eclipses create a portal to get you through things quite quickly, but you have to step through the gate. now is the time!

virgo- week of 6/28-7/4
with the karmic south node and your ruling planet mercury in your 11th house of friendship and community this week opportunities to work through karma and have important conversations with others abound. working through any shadow expressions of the cancer archetype is part of the karmic clearing- including confronting codependent behavior, a tendency to mother your friends, and unhealthy expression of emotion. with the south node transiting in this house it can seem easier to join groups than it is to step up, front and center and be bold. owning your creative power and putting yourself out there are part of your path right now. opportunities to communicate with friends and committed partners about your emotional needs in relationship arise this week. speaking your Truth, from the heart, without getting overemotional or passive-aggressive is key. new people can come into your friendship circle that are karmic in nature- a sense of old friends reunited from the past is heartwarming. but being sure you are connecting with people who are emotionally supportive and able to help you grow and change are key. any connections that are based on sentimentality and an attachment to the past can hold you back- and the karmic clearing this week requires you confront where that may be playing out and make some changes. next week’s solar eclipse will start a whole new chapter in your friendships, community connections and dreams/goals- so take the time this week to clear any debris that is cluttering your future so that when the future arrives you have room to hold it.

libra- week of 6/28-7/4
with cancer in your most elevated house- the 10th house of career and standing in the world- the karmic clearing offered this week involves dealing with old karmic patterns that play out over and over in your career path and choices you make work-wise. the shadow expressions of cancer are to be confronted- the tendency to mother your bosses or coworkers, putting all your emotional energy into your work (and not anything else), and being attached to security and stability which influences the career choices you make. conversation and communication is abundant this week and it’s all focused on your career house- so honestly acknowledging and honoring your needs when it comes to what you do in life is key. any tendency you have to sacrifice your inner/personal life for your work or career needs rebalancing. one without the other is a recipe for disaster! next week’s solar eclipse falls in this house, and new beginnings in your career sector are set to take off. but this week is the week to clear out any old karmic stuff around career/work so that you have space to invite in the new. your work involves connecting with people on an emotional, intuitive level- but make sure you do that with yourself first and foremost. the changes happening in your career focus are simply a reflection of the massive changes going on within. allowing those changes to unfold will bring you to a whole new chapter in life. eclipse season is helping you do just that

scorpio- week of 6/28-7/4
with the karmic activation happening in your 9th house of spiritual beliefs and connection to Higher Self this week is all about confronting any unconscious or karmic belief systems that keep you tethered to old paradigm thinking. cancer is a very sensitive, emotional sign, but the shadow expressions of cancer can be clannishness, sentimentality and an inability to let go of the past. belief systems that were handed down to by predecessors may have passed their expiration date (and may have been spoiled the day they were invented!) but you may have held on to them for the sake of the family or just because it’s what you’ve always know. this limits your ability to expand your mind and understand the Universe from a Higher perspective- and this week it’s all about clearing out that karmic crap so you have space in your mind to connect with something greater. opportunities to communicate and alter your belief system around commitments and relationships in your life abound- but being open and emotionally honest is a prerequisite to finding new territory. next week’s solar eclipse will fall in this very same house, opening the door for massive change and new beginnings when it comes to who you believe yourself to be and how much you allow yourself to expand. clearing out the closets brings a sense of liberation- so clean out your mind this week, and prepare for a new beginning.

sagittarius- week of 6/28-7/4
the karmic activation this week falls in your 8th house of intimacy, sexuality, shared resources and Soul transformation- making the entire week about delving into some of your most unconscious beliefs around sex, money and power. where ever the south node transits we have lessons come up about karmic patterns we keep playing out over and over ad nausea- and we are given opportunities to move through some very limiting stuff. with cancer in the 8th house sex, money and power are integrally tied up with the archetype of Mother, emotions, codependency and attachment to the past. any issues arising in your life right now that relate to these 8th house issues are asking you to look deeper at the ways you’ve been doing things for years- perhaps lifetimes. opportunities to communicate your Truth- minus the emotional manipulation that karmic cancer energy likes to use- and honestly assess commitments and contractual agreements you have abound this week. staying in integrity, taking responsibility for yourself, and stepping up are key. next week’s solar eclipse falls in this house and it will start a whole new chapter for you in these areas of life- but this week is about clearing out the crap. show the Universe you are on board by taking the bull by the horns and starting the work. any difficulties this week are showing you just how tenacious karmic patterns can be- but you are stronger and if you let your Soul lead you can move through and past anything.

capricorn- week of 6/28-7/4
the plethora of activity this week is in your opposite sign of cancer, bringing major karmic stuff to light in the area of committed relationships. with the south node transiting your 7th house and the north node in your 1st (and in your sign)- the lessons right now are about learning self-reliance, responsibility and stability. with cancer reflecting you in your relationship house you can find that you either get involved with people you have to father or you get involved with people who become your mother. neither kind of relationship is balanced- your lover is not meant to be your parent or vice versa. any unresolved karma you have around your father or mother- or the archetypes of both in general (which harkens back to past lives) will come to the fore in relationships this week. old patterns that play out over and over again need to be released- but the journey of letting go ain’t easy! this week conversations with loved ones, committed partners and people you have contractual agreements with require that you step up to a new level of maturity and growth in the relationship department. steer clear of any emotional manipulation, codependency, sentimental attachment that holds you back, and unhealthy expression of emotions. it’s time to shift your relationship karma and this week is the time to do the clearing work, as next week’s solar eclipse will start a whole new cycle in your relationship that you have to be ready for! these past couple years you’ve been in a profound period of transformation- but realize that the person across from you is simply your mirror. they reflect how far you’ve come. get ready to catapult to a whole new level.

aquarius- week of 6/28-7/4
the karmic activation occurring this week is in your 6th house of work, service and health- requiring you to look at any work/service contracts or agreements you’ve made consciously or unconsciously that compromise your integrity and possibly your health. wherever the south node transits we are being asked to look at old patterns that have played out for years, perhaps even lifetimes. looking to see where you keep falling into the same karmic loop is the first step- the second is breaking it. with cancer in the 6th your tendency to mother people, emotionally fuse in your work, become codependent and let your feelings run your day need to be honestly looked at. cancer is ruled by the moon who shifts and changes every day- but the shadow side is inconsistency or ungroundedness. this will take it’s toll on your health- as your body is ruled by earth and needs grounding to be connected and balanced. any work/service agreements you have with others need to be looked at from the karmic perspective. where do you give away your power, not take responsibility and create codependence with others. this week is for karmic clearing in preparation for next week when the solar eclipse lights up this house. new beginnings in work and service are just around the corner, but releasing any karmic patterns that hold you back from truly stepping into your destined role is key. a good reflection for you can be to look at how your mommy or daddy issues play out in the work place. where you play one role or ask the others in your life to play the other- there is an imbalance. work for equality and own your own archetypes. a shift is in the air- clean your inner house this week.

pisces- week of 6/28-7/4
eclipse season is a portal of activation that is highly charged- and as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac you’ve no doubt been feeling the eclipses approach for weeks or even months now! this week is the week between the lunar and the solar eclipse and it’s a week of karmic clearing. the activation is in your 5th house of romance, creativity, children and self-expression. it’s time to look at how karma plays out in these areas of life- and it’s time to confront any limiting patterns that hold you back from stepping into your role as an authority in your community. with the south node in cancer the shadow expressions of that sign come to fore- codependency, unhealthy expression of emotions, parent/child dynamics playing out in relationships, and sentimentality that keeps you tethered to the past. where you or another engages in any of these karmic patterns- it will come to a head this week. opportunities to communicate your Truth- minus any emotional manipulation- with significant others and people you have contractual agreements with abound. the emotional realms are a water sign’s territory, but with the north node in capricorn learning containment, boundaries and ability to detach and rise above are key. next week’s solar eclipse falls in the same house which kicks off a period of new beginnings, but this week is about cleaning your emotional house. a romance, a child or a creative project is set to take on more importance- but you have to let go of the past first in order to have room to bring in the new. now’s the time!

Weekly Horoscope June 21

it’s a potent week with the astrology that kicks off the dynamic summer of 2010 (check out my recent blog ‘a summer to remember’ for more detailed info).  the sun moves into cancer on monday to mark the summer solstice and fills in the missing piece of the cardinal grand cross made with jupiter, saturn, uranus and pluto that builds throughout july and august .  then on saturday the lunar eclipse falls in capricorn and is conjunct pluto, the lord of the underworld.  this is a potent time of endings, new beginnings, transformation, death and rebirth- and where it falls in your chart your life is about to get catapulted to a whole new level.  saying goodbye is part of getting from point A to point B, but so is fearlessly embracing the new that is your destiny.  it’s a pivotal week of changes- some overt, some subtle, and some only just beginning.  eclipses are portals that jettison us from the past into the future at lightspeed!  if you can learn to work with the quickening energy you can find yourself in a very different place by the end of the week- ready to start a whole new chapter of life that will unfold over the coming months.  get ready, get set, go!

gemini- week of 6/21-6/27
the grand cross that is the highlight of this summer’s astrology activates your 2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th houses- the succedent houses that are about the results and success you get from taking action in the world.  major transformation and change is afoot in your houses of finances and self worth, romance and children, intimacy and Soul transformation, and community connections.  on monday the sun moves into your 2nd house of money and self worth and perfects the grand cross activating money issues that are intimately tied in with self-worth issue.  where ever you have money stuff coming up look a little deeper to see how issues with self-worth can be the driving force behind it all.  changes in self-worth can and will change everything- so focus there and see the results you are longing for.  the lunar eclipse on saturday falls in your 8th house of sexuality, intimacy, vulnerability and Soul transformation.  this eclipse is conjunct pluto, the natural ruler of the 8th house, showing that you have double the potential to go deeper in an intimate connection and by osmosis go deeper into yourSelf in the process.  endings of old ways of holding back, building walls, and keeping people at bay so that you don’t experience pain or rejection needs to happen first.  ’the peril of Love is the more deeply we seek to engage, the higher the stakes.’  the stakes are rising and it’s up to you to decide how much you’ll put in to play.  not many things in life are all or nothing- but Love is.  any obstacles to Love will hold us back from the full expression of it.  this eclipse can take you to a new place if you let it.  it’s up to you!

cancer- week of 6/21-6/27
the cardinal grand cross is formed by a t-square of planets in your fellow cardinal signs of aries, libra and capricorn.  what fills it in and makes it a grand cross is the sun moving into your sign on monday- marking the summer solstice and the beginning of the dynamic astrology that will radically change your life (and probably already began to)!.  as the sign that is not being tenanted by any of the heavy hitter planets (jupiter, saturn, uranus and pluto)- your sign is the one that is the missing piece and when the sun moves to fill that piece in all the expansion, restructuring, liberation and transformation energy of the social and outer planets will funnel directly into your conscious self and ego.  yours is the sign that is most activated by the grand cross as the changes and transformation coming your way span your inner life and home life, relationships, and career- all of which set you on an entirely new life path and Soul’s journey by the end of this summer!  on saturday the lunar eclipse falls in your opposite sign of capricorn, bringing massive endings and new beginnings in committed relationships in your life.  old ways of partnership are dying to give birth to new ones.  letting go of the past is a precursor to making room for what lies ahead.  with pluto on this eclipse MAJOR transformation via significant Soul connections can occur in relationships over the coming years.  part of your journey is working through any unresolved stuff around the Father archetype.  with capricorn on the descendant you often project the Father onto partners- and depending on your own relationship with your real father they may or may not fit the bill.  make peace with the Father within and let your partner be your partner.  just a minor internal shift can reverberate externally for years to come!  this week brings opportunities to just that- don’t waste them.

leo- week of 6/21-6/27
the summer’s astrology is intense!  the cardinal grand cross falls in your cadent houses- signifying massive transformation of the most interior, hidden realms of self.  the way you communicate, the work and service you provide, your beliefs and connection to your Higher Self, and your spiritual path and connection to the Unconscious are all set to change in drastic, expansive ways.  on monday the sun moves into your 12th house of the unconscious, marking both the summer solstice and your own personal month of turning within to prepare for your birth month that is just around the corner.  when planets are in your 12th house you tend to be more behind the scenes, secretive, quiet and withdrawn.  with your ruler the sun in this house getting so highly activated by jupiter, saturn, uranus and pluto i don’t know if you are going to get much of a reprieve!  but you will have the opportunity to delve deeply into your own psyche and recognize any limitations in the way you experience life and relationships with others so that you can release them  on saturday the lunar eclipse falls in your 6th house of work and service setting into motion major endings and new beginnings of the work you do- both where, with whom and how.  pluto is conjunct this eclipse so massive transformation via symbolic death and rebirth is set to rock the boat of Life- but it’s all good.  this is also the house of self-adjustment- and with pluto there you are in prime position to make some major self-adjustment shifts that involve letting down walls/defenses while embracing self-mastery and commitment to your unfolding path.  change starts to happen this week (likely even before now- as eclipses can be felt up to 6 months prior to their actual date.  think back to new year’s eve to see the manifestations) but it will take all summer to completely unfold.  embrace the new and renew yourSelf!

virgo- week of 6/21-6/27
this is a summer to remember- one full of transformation, death and rebirth, and growth.  the grand cross that kicks off on monday as the sun moves into cancer highlights your cadent houses that govern the results you experience in life and the success you attain.  change and transformation in the houses the govern money and self worth, romance and children, intimacy and Soul transformation, and community connections will be HUGE.  with the summer solstice on monday your community connections and people you join forces with can either provide support for the changes to come or be a source of the need for these changes to be made.  on saturday the lunar eclipse falls in your 5th house of romance, creativity, self-expression and children- pointing toward significant endings and new beginnings occurring in these areas of life.  with pluto aligned with this eclipse deeply moving through any resistances, defenses and walls you put up to experiencing more Love, joy and uninhibited self-expression in your life is available to you in the coming months.  any testing that is going on in significant relationships of the romantic variety is getting you to assess your wants and needs realistically.  with pisces on the descendant you can often want and expect perfection in connection with others- but you can also have the tendency to over-idealize and not see the reality of situations.  wherever you fall on this spectrum- this eclipse can help you see the light.  the transformative power of Love can set you free- but it must first be given to yourself in unbounded ways.  this week marks the start of an intense summer- learn to embrace change and take risks and you could find yourself in brand new, exciting territory come fall

libra- week of 6/21-6/27
the summer’s astrology is heating up and your sign is one of four (aries, cancer and capricorn are the other three) that is getting highly activated.  the grand cross straddles your angular houses- the places where we take action and meet the world.  massive shifts and transformation is underway in your self-expression and Soul’s journey, your home and family environment, your significant relationships and your career path and Soul purpose.  on monday as the sun moves into your 10th house of career and standing in the world and kicks off this grand cross you can expect significant changes to head your way these areas of life!  saturday’s lunar eclipse falls in your 4th house of home and family, signifying endings and new beginnings in where you call home, who you call family and how you find your safety and security in the world.  with capricorn in your 4th house you often yearn for the traditional or unchanging in order to feel safe and secure- but in this world today the only thing unchanging is change itself!  and finding an inner sense of security despite outer events is important in these changing times.  as you find a sense of inner peace and a center within that shelters you from the storm you will be able to find external situations that mirror your internal experience.  saying goodbye to the past may feel frightening or anxiety-producing, but the new home, family and/or foundation that is waiting for you around the corner requires that you let go first, trust and let the process unfold.  this week is the kick off to the summer’s astrology but it will take all summer to unfold.  embrace the changes coming your way and remember that your Soul signed up for them!  come fall you will have begun a whole new chapter in life- an exciting one you don’t want to miss by playing it safe.

scorpio- week of 6/21-6/27
the cardinal grand cross that is building up is set to activate your cadent houses of transition, transformation and endings.  major activations and shifts in your communication, work and service, beliefs and connection to Higher Self, and spiritual path and connection to the Unconscious are set to happen over the coming months.  on monday as the sun moves into cancer (marking the summer solstice) and your 9th house of spiritual and philosophical beliefs you can expect the major changes in your life to open you up to new ways of viewing the world and your part in it.  on saturday the lunar eclipse falls in your 3rd house of communication marking poignant endings and new beginnings when it comes to how you communicate (teaching, speaking, writing) and how you relate to your immediate environment.  with your ruler pluto conjunct this eclipse transformation is the name of the game.  releasing old ways of communicating that may have been based on holding back your Truth, stonewalling or defensiveness is key in order to open up to new ways of connecting and communicating with those around you.  this week things really get cooking but it takes all summer for things to truly unfold.  as a scorpio you are no stranger to going through massive transitions of death and rebirth which empower you and enable you to rise above the ashes (like the phoenix- a symbol for your sign).  this summer you are able to go through a powerful transition in many areas of your life- you just have to embrace it fearlessly and move through the fire.  just do it!

sagittarius- week of 6/21-6/27
your ruler is involved in the potent astrology of this summer which makes the transformation at hand significant and important for you.  the cardinal grand cross kicks off on monday as the sun moves into cancer and your 8th house of intimacy, sexuality and Soul transformation.  meanwhile the other planets involved (jupiter, saturn, uranus and pluto) activate you 2nd house of money and self worth, 5th house of romance and children and 11th house of community.  major change is afoot- and they all point to the ability to take you deep into yourSelf on a Soul journey that is unprecedented.  on saturday the lunar eclipse falls in your 2nd house of money, values and self-worth, bringing significant endings and new beginnings in how you relate to abundance in your life.  your level of self-esteem directly impacts your ability to both receive and give (or share) abundance in your life.  with capricorn in this house you can be great with making money but at times a bit hard on yourself about making it as well as a bit tight-fisted with it when you get it.  learning to loosen up and open up while still retaining your keen financial and business sense is key.  this week kicks off the start of the grand cross but it will take all summer for everything to unfold.  as transformation happens it is best to choose it consciously so you can work with the energy entering your life.  any intensity is an invitation to go deeper into yourSelf.  when you view life that way everything changes.

capricorn- week of 6/21-6/27
your sign is one of four (aries, cancer and libra are the other three) who are being radically activated by the fast-approaching grand cross that has been building up since last year.  jupiter, saturn, uranus and pluto are activating your angular houses- the most visible and active part of your chart.  the major changes and transformation available to you this summer (and beyond) will impact your self-expression and Soul’s journey, your home and family environment, your significant relationships and your career path.  on monday the sun moves into your partner sign of cancer, lighting up your house of marriage and commitment- and funneling all the transformative power into the relationships in your life.  endings of old connections and the beginning of new ones is on the agenda.  on saturday the lunar eclipse is in your sign and conjunct pluto- making it especially potent for you!  eclipses are like portals that take us from one place to another very, very quickly.  with this eclipse falling in your 1st house of self-expression, personality and Soul’s journey your entire life is set to shift dramatically.  dying to the old you so the new can be reborn is part of that process (i am talking symbolically).  releasing the past is necessary- including any tendencies to withdraw, create walls or distance between yourself and others.  this eclipse will impact both your relationship to yourself but also your relationships with others.  changes is right around the corner!  let it in

aquarius- week of 6/21-6/27
this summer’s astrology is intense but transformative- and for you it activates your succedent houses that govern the results you achieve and the success you attain.  on monday the sun moves into cancer and you 6th house of work and service- filling in the missing piece to the grand cross and funneling all the transformational energy into the work you do and the service you provide in the world.  the grand cross’ changes will also manifest in your 3rd house of communication, 9th house of beliefs and connection to your Higher Self and 12th house of spirituality and connection to the Unconscious.  all of the above will be awakened, transformed, restructured and grown beyond anything you can imagine in the coming year!  on saturday the lunar eclipse falls in your 12th house of the unconscious, where pluto and the north node have been for a while.  major endings and new beginnings are set to appear (and may have already begun) in your spiritual life.  confrontation of your deepest fears and realization of your greatest gifts and dreams are also governed by the 12th house.  lunar eclipse are potent portals that take us from one place to another very rapidly.  embracing the changes going on at the deepest psychic level can help you transform consciously and with awareness.  as you release the past and any fears you have around security and stability, or any unconscious material around the archetypal Father (which likely began with your own literal one) you can liberate yourself and transform.  this week’s astrology starts this process in earnest but it will take all summer for things to unfold.  bide your time, pay attention to your dreams, and journey into your Soul.  it’s worth it- and where it will take you will be better than you can even imagine.

pisces- week of 6/21-6/27
it’s a potent week- as the cardinal grand cross of the summer gets officially kicked off on monday as the sun moves into cancer and fills in the missing piece of the face off between jupiter, saturn, uranus and pluto.  the social and transpersonal planets (mentioned above) are set to expand, restructure, liberate and transform your 2nd house of money and self worth, your 8th house of intimacy and Soul transformation and your 11th house of community.  with the sun lighting up your 5th house of romance and children the energy of change can manifest itself most potently in your romantic and creative endeavors as well as experiences with your own children.  on saturday the lunar eclipse falls in your 11th house of friendship and community connections- setting in motion important changes in the people you connect with, share ideas with and join forces with.  old connections are passing away to make room for the new that are coming in to take you further down your path of growth and consciousness.  your role in your community is also changing- with pluto conjunct this eclipse stepping into a position of power and leadership is but a breathe away.  as a pisces you are not used to being in the limelight- so getting used to it (and over any self-confidence issues you may have) are necessary for the next leg of your journey.  this week’s astrology gets things off to a start but it will take all summer for the full scope of things to unfold.  change and transformation are the name of the game- choose to participate in what life is giving to you and watch your future unfold.

Weekly Horoscope May 3

this week has a lot of activity- too much to include in one written horoscope (it would be a couple pages long!) so i am focusing on the hot spots.  to see the more detailed aspects read my weekly astrology blog which talks about every major aspect that occurs during the week.  the hot spot this week is mars!  mars has been in leo for over 6 months now!  mars entered leo in mid-october of last year and then stationed retrograde in late december for just under 3 months.  typically mars speeds through a sign in approximately 6 weeks, but because of his recent retrograde his stay in leo stretches over 7 1/2 months!  mars is the warrior and the Divine Masculine.  in leo he is firey, willful, self-focused, passionate and at times egotistic.  mars retrograde has required that we each confront our relationship to the masculine, our will, ego, and desire nature.  now that mars is direct we are integrating our inward journey of reflection and taking action!  this week mars is very active.  on tuesday the sun and mars square each other- creating tension between the conscious self and ego and the will and drive.  these two very yang energies go head to head and sparks can fly!  learning to temper the ego and warrior so that outbursts you regret don’t happen is key.  throughout the week mars tensely aspects saturn, the north node, uranus and pluto (in that order) creating a need for major shifts when it comes to ego, will and drive.  discipline, consciousness, awakening and transformation are the order of the week!  on friday mars aligns with his beloved venus, creating an ability to bridge masculine and feminine and effect a healing of any perceived split between the two (in yourself, with others, in the world!).  mars is getting worked over and under- but at the end of the week his reward is a connection with the heart (venus).  

in addition, jupiter in pisces contraparallels saturn in virgo midweek which pits the planet of expansion against the planet of contraction.  dreams versus reality, ideals versus pragmatism.  it doesn’t have to be one or the other- a bridge can be created!  finding balance between your desire for freedom, expansion and growth and your desire for structure, stability and commitment is necessary.  it’s a busy week!  enjoy

aries- week of 5/3-5/9
your ruler is at it again!  his long retrograde journey in your 5th house has had you rethinking, reassessing and re-relating to your innate warrior energy.  tempering that willful fire with some feminine receptivity is key.  on tuesday your ruler goes head to head with the sun, creating conflict between your values, money and self worth and your romantic and creative self-expression.  irritations can come up with loved ones around money, or a snide comment about your creative projects can feel like an attack on your self-worth.  don’t fly off the handle too quickly- back down and regroup!  throughout the week nearly all the outer planets come into contact with mars- helping you to restructure, liberate and transform your warrior energy in positive, life enhancing ways.  on friday mars links with venus, helping you to communicate from the heart and create from an inspired mind.  when venus and mars get together the sparks that fly are romantic, creative and beautiful- thank goodness!  learning to balance some yin with your yang is worth it after all!

taurus- week of 5/3-5/9
the week starts off with a bang with the sun in your sign in tense aspect to mars in your 4th house of home and family, igniting any unresolved issues in the home or family dynamic that need to be dealt with.  this aspect is dynamic and can get out of hand if you don’t keep a hold on your ego energies- so reign them in and see things from a wider perspective.  throughout the week mars aspects nearly all of the outer planets, asking you to restructure, liberate and transform your home life and inner life in creative, dynamic ways.  a lot of this can play out in childhood memory recall- particularly related to your father.  past life stuff can pop up as well.  dealing with things and clearing them out is key!  the week ends on a lovely note as your ruler harmoniously aspects mars- creating an affinity between the feminine and the masculine in beautiful ways.  with venus in your 2nd self-worth is high and that simple act of believing in yourself can change any trying home or family circumstances.  to be heard you don’t have to roar or expand your ego beyond proportion.  it’s all about a balance of receptivity and activity.  find balance in your inner yin and yang!

gemini- week of 5/3-5/9
on tuesday the sun in your 12th house of the unconscious makes a tense aspect to mars in your 3rd house of communication, unearthing some dynamic and perhaps testy communication with others and/or with yourself.  confrontations with the unconscious can arise- so pay attention to those dream time messages as they can poignant and powerful.  staying out of ego and aligned with the heart is the best way to deal with anything behind the scenes.  throughout the week mars is powerfully activated by several of the outer planets, asking you to restructure, liberate and transform your relationship to warrior energy as it expresses itself through your communication.  the key is to be direct, honest and assertive, rather than angry, aggressive and dominating.  if you can sail through this week with ego in check your reward is venus’ aspect to mars on friday.  venus is in your sign bringing the grace and ease of the Goddess into your interactions with others.  when she syncs up with mars there is a harmony between what you say and how you present it.   people are better able to listen when things are presented from an open space rather than a defensive one.  try it and see if you can sway hearts and minds from a peaceful place

cancer- week of 5/3-5/9
mars’ long stay in your 2nd house of money, values and self-worth has had you closely inspecting all three and re-evaluating how you can believe more in yourself (and thus attract more abundance) with the energy of the warrior!  it’s been a long journey and this week adds to the story  on tuesday the sun squares mars, creating a dynamic tension between your friendships and community connections and your self-worth and money situation.  where you feel you have no support from others you can find you get fired up about it now!  it’s important to stay out of ego and reign it in.  communicating from a detached place is key.  throughout the week mars is activated by nearly all the outer planets, asking you to restructure, liberate and transform your relationship to passion, will, drive, anger and ego- particularly in how they express themselves through your self-worth and money-accruing activities.  owning your shine without letting it get to your head is key!  at the end of the week the Divine Lovers link up, aligning venus in your 12th house of the unconscious with mars in your 2nd house.  creative inspiration can come from your dreams and it can translate into income if you jot them down and do something with them!  behind the scenes love won’t be behind the scenes for much longer, so enjoy the last moments of mystery and secrecy and prepare for when venus moves into your sign later this month!  

leo- week of 5/3-5/9
