Now that Venus is about to station direct in Leo, do you have any sense of a specific inner mission you may have been on since around July 22? Has anything been uncovered, recovered, or questioned?
Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo today, conjunct asteroid Pallas and Mars. Could it be that Mercury's brief rewind for the next three or so weeks is asking us to pay a little more attention to all the key details needed to put a plan into action -- and to troubleshooting in a methodical, grounded, analytical way when things don't go as expected?
The Leo Sun and Moon are making a square to Uranus in Taurus (representing internal tension requiring action to resolve it, with that tension either feeling exacerbated by surprises or soothed by ditching your usual routines). Pretty much tailor-made astrology for feeling restless -- yet without a ton of energy to address it.
How has life been for you recently, leading up to the Aquarius Full Moon opposite the Leo Sun?t Featuring the Moon in the sign of groups opposite the Sun in the sign of ego, I see a reminder to pause and reflect on the traps we can fall into regarding how we see others, how others see us, and how we see ourselves.
It's as though Venus -- in confronting the current surreal situation of digital relating through texts and DMs, TikTok influencing, algorithms determining which friendships you cultivate (or even get reminded of) on Facebook, and AI proclaiming its "love" in online chats -- is turning away from all that today.

"When you start doing the work you were born to do, you don’t feel passion. What you feel is that nothing is missing.” This quote from one of Barbara Sher's books crossed my path this morning, and got me thinking...
I just did my second astrology segment on the local public-access cable station, on a show called Friday PM hosted by my friend Luigi Scarcelli. Since we're just a few days before the Full Moon -- which itself is the day before the 4th of July holiday -- I wanted to be sure viewers have a useful roadmap to navigate the interesting energy of the weekend.
Tonight's Gemini New Moon is a prime moment for allowing habitual monkey-mind to quiet down, become still, and perceive how every two-sided coin is still a single coin. You -- a human being -- and whatever lies at the center of the Milky Way galaxy are really just two manifestations of the same creative energy.
