Thoughts on the drawing close of summer, the Virgoan imperative to harvest, take stock, get organized, and refocus, and the fast-approaching eclipses.
Somehow for the last couple weeks my brain has been envisioning Aug. 28, when Mercury stations direct, as being on the weekend. No idea why, but this mental slip is all too appropriate! Whatever your personal experience of the current Mercury retrograde, here are some themes to consider to help you reap the most from its lessons.
Today's Aquarius Full Moon looks a bit turbo charged! The biggest question it seems to be asking is: At the heart of everything (in your heart), what are you truly devoted to? And what uncharacteristic, unplanned, or non-routine actions do you need to take to remember what that devotion feels like ?
Mercury stations retrograde on Aug. 5, several hours after the Aug. 4 Leo New Moon. Despite Mercury's reputation for miscommunication, uncooperative tech, and confusion, there are always deeper lessons with its reversals. These horoscopes are designed to help you hear them.
Here’s a little preview of the upcoming summer astrological highlights for the next three months. At the top of the post there's a link to the original video version if you prefer that format. I'll be posting more detailed and nuanced posts as the season progresses.
Where do you see an opportunity to enact -- or allow -- some fertile giving and receiving into your life? Venus and Mars are building to a supportive, complementary aspect this week, but you'll want to activate the energy.
Happy solstice, everyone! I've written the horoscopes below for the combination Cancer solstice and Capricorn Full Moon charts: a seasonal, solar turning point and a lunar peak.
Thursday's Gemini New Moon is conjunct Venus, describing a positive, social vibe. Yet a tense aspect to Saturn and Nessus in Pisces raises introspective questions. The "both/and" quality of Gemini-style thinking could offer a path to solutions.
The planet of the mind and communication (Mercury) is plugging into the planet of unexpected "a-ha!" moments (Uranus). They're meeting up in a conjunction in late Taurus, exact in the wee hours of tomorrow. New insights, surprising ideas, and deeply intuitive impulses could emerge.
As the Full Moon approaches (it's exact tomorrow, May 23) do you find yourself racing toward a single goal, or too split in your priorities to make a move? Or are you dancing your way through the week? If you're dancing, how would you describe the dance?
