This is a jam-packed week of astrological weather. There is so much to get to, so I’m leaving some bits for next week’s post. But if you want to know more about Pluto returning to Capricorn, the Uranus station (plus the Mercury square to Uranus), and/or the New Moon in Virgo on September 2nd/3rd, click below.
Read moreMercury Direct
On August 28th, Mercury will make its direct station, ending its retrograde phase. And thankfully so. This will allow us to pick up the pieces of our lives that became scattered in the wake of the Full Moon (and all of those crazy Uranian squares!) Even this week, as the Moon is now waning, and Mercury slows for its station, you will find yourself gradually readjusting to your regularly scheduled programming.
Read moreA Super Full Moon in Aquarius 2024
On Monday, August 19th, we have a Super Full Moon at 27º of Aquarius. Full Moons are illuminating, and revealing. But this one might be even more so. With an exact square to unpredictable Uranus, and another square between Jupiter and Saturn, there is a lot more to this Full Moon than meets the eye.
Read moreJupiter square Saturn & Mars
In the midst of the retrograde phase of Mercury we have some interesting transits coming up over the next few weeks, including the first of 3 exact squares between Jupiter and Saturn, and Mars in Gemini, making an exact conjunction with Jupiter on the 14th. To find out what that means, read this week’s update.
Read moreThe New Moon in Leo + Mercury stations Retrograde
The New Moon in Leo on Sunday, August 4th is accompanied by the retrograde station of Mercury in the early degrees of Virgo. Planets are always stronger when they station, made all the more so for the full month due to its proximity to the New Moon.
Read moreChiron stations... and what about that Full Moon?
This week Chiron will station for its retrograde phase which will last until the end of the year. For the 5 months that Chiron will be in its retrograde phase we are tasked with paying attention to our own healing journey, for this is when we are able to make the most growth and progress. Chiron in Aries is here to remind us that we aren’t going to be much use to anyone else, if we don’t also take care of ourselves.
Read moreA 2nd Full Moon in Capricorn
This weekend, on July 21st, we have our second Full Moon in Capricorn for the year. At 29º of Capricorn, the very very last degree of the sign. There may be some reminders here, that no matter how compelling, we can never truly return to a past that once was.
Read moreMars conjunct Uranus - getting Unstuck
Strap on your seat belts everyone. If you haven’t already noticed it, we have a Mars/Uranus conjunction coming up on the 15th. There’s no telling which way the wind will blow, or where lightning will strike with this kind of weather. But if you are willing to be flexible and stay in the eye of the storm, Mars/Uranus weather can also be freeing and illuminating.
Read moreThe New Moon in Cancer 2024
On Friday, July 5th, we have a New Moon at 14º Cancer 23’. This is a deeply emotional Moon, in which it would not be unusual to find ourselves nostalgically longing for connection and belonging. To yearn for safety, community and familiarity. And so at this time of year we are inclined to circle the wagons, gather the tribe and seek out places of comfort.
Read moreThe Retrograde Stations of Saturn and Neptune
This coming week we have the retrograde stations of both Saturn (June 29th) and Neptune (July 2nd), both in the sign of Pisces. In addition, and not to be ignored, is a semi-square between Jupiter and Chiron, and an approaching sextile between Jupiter and the North Node. The fates continue to spin their wheels.
