Your Horoscope for February 2024

Half the sky’s planets are in Aquarius this month. What does it mean? Well you’re about to find out.

What’s going on with the planets this month?

Pluto is in Aquarius.

Hold onto your hope friends. This coming fall the U.S.A. will elect a new president, and we will once more be faced with the uncomfortable realities of power, wealth, government, injustice and journey through our country’s shadow.

Pluto takes us on a generational journey through the darkness and shows us the power of regeneration, life, death, and transformation. Aquarius wants to save the world. They show up on the front lines of the revolution bearing the gift of water, of life. When they pour it upon the earth, new ideas spring fourth. That which is hidden is revealed. Unjust systems collapse. And the social order is getting shaken up.The earth is quaking, the climate crisis continues to rock us and the powers that be play at power, wealth, and gamble with the lives of millions. 

So groups of like-minded innovators are being formed. Collectives of people are gathering together to organize. Some are organizing life around a new interest. Others are organizing in order to disrupt, innovate to enact social and governmental change. We all bear the ability to nurture life on this earth and envision alternative ways of living in relationship to the land and each other. 

But not everyone is working towards the same vision of the future. Nevertheless….Pluto in Aquarius brings revolution, rebellion, genius, break-neck speed technology production, climate crisis, and a shift in local and global consciousness. Changes both big and small are inevitable. 

Life is never the same and neither are we.

Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aquarius.
The planets of ego, communication, and relationships are charting alien territory this month. Get ready for things to be shaken up. Embrace ground breaking out of the box thinking, communication methods, and relationships.

New Moon in Aquarius.
Life is never the same and neither are we. Go with the flow. 

Sun in Pisces.
The sun moves into Pisces on the 18th allowing us to see life through a more intuitive and poetic lens.

Full Moon in Virgo.
Get serious about what you’re accomplishing and manifesting with your habits.

Your January Horoscope

ARIES
(March 21 - April 19)

Say yes to socializing and building up your community this month.
Venus, goddess of Love and your ruling planet Mars, God of War meet on the 22nd to mark a fresh start in your relationships. Passion is running high and so is the drama…it’s a good day to deepen your friendships…or tur them into enemies. 2024 is a money conscious year for you, so it’s worth noting that February is also a good month to review your finances and reflect on how you’ve grown.

TAURUS
(April 20 - May 20)

Take the leading role in your life. Know your worth.
The new moon in Aquarius brings career and public image shifts. Use that Aquarius rebelliousness to rebrand and reinvent yourself. Your ruling planet Venus, goddess of Love meets up with Mars, God of War on the 22nd, passions run high as does the drama. Do opposites attract or do they hate each other’s guts? You’re about to find out. If you’re looking to relax and have some fun this month, the Virgo full moon has you covered.

Gemini
(May 21 - June 20)

You’re learning and expanding…but where are you focusing your attention?
Your ruling planet Mercury in Aquarius brings out your inquisitive nature and your desire to improve. You’d be well served to invest in your mental and spiritual health this month with some meditation, travel, or deep research into topics you care deeply about. Mercury helps you lead with compassion  when it enters Pisces on the 23rd.

Cancer
(June 21 - July 22)

Love, money, and power are on your mind this month. You want control…the illusion of stability and simple right and wrongs. But life isn’t making it easy. And with the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars crowding your shared resources, things are a little tense. Try to remember as you argue your way through yet another group decision that even though it would be nice to have your way all the time- deep down you don’t want to have to bear all the responsibility alone so it’s better to not cut too deep with your words. The full moon in Virgo on the 24th and the movement of the sun into your fellow water sign Pisces on the 18th offer some relief to the tension. Make the most of it. 

LEO
July 23 - August 22

This month you are more like the moon than the sun. You are reflecting your light and your shadow back at yourself and noticing the path on which you have traveled. Your mind is especially interested in reflecting on those that have walked beside you. Time to take stock of your relationships and the gifts and traumas you may have received from your time spent with them. Set intentions for your relationships this month. Mars stirs up drama on the 13th but Venus comes to your aid on the 16th to help you heal any conflict.

VIRGO
(August 23 - September 22) 

Rise, rinse, repeat. Aquarius season has you on the grind. Your carefully curated routines can help carry you through the busy but gray days of February. If something in your routine isn’t working for you, the 9th is a good day to initiate a change. Despite the grind of daily life, your heart is set on love this month. Be open but don’t lower your standards. The full moon in your sign on the 24th shifts your focus to cultivating your inner glow, caring for your body, and aids you in your romantic pursuits. The 28th brings a big relationship related decision.

LIBRA
(September 23 - October 22) 

Right now it’s all about following dopamine.
What’s not adding joy to your life then why are you allowing it to take up so much space when you could just be having fun? With so many planets in your fellow air sign this month you’re brimming with energy so put it to good use by doing a hard reboot and allowing yourself to seek out what really lights you up in love and in money. Venus and Mars meet up on the 22nd to highlight your passion and drive. 

SCORPIO
(October 23 - November 21)

You’ve been keeping things to yourself. In the age of social media and oversharing, you’re setting boundaries around who gets to know what goes on behind your closed doors and who doesn’t, especially where love and money is concerned. Keep your secrets for yourself then Scorpio, but once Pisces season hits you’ll be feeling more invitational again. And Venus and your ruling planet Mars meet up on the 22nd, bringing in some spicy passions.

SAGITTARIUS
(November 22 - December 21)

Substance is important to you this month. 
Your calendar may be full but is it feeding you?
Prioritize the connections that leave you feeling like you ATE.
The new moon is a new start in your social circle giving you the opportunity to gracely decline connections that are draining your energy. Clearing away some of the old for the new creates opportunities for new connections this month. The arrival of Pisces season on the 18th invites you to enter your bed rotting era and spend some time recharging at home and keeping in low key. Take advantage of it because the full moon in Virgo lights up the sky on the 24th bringing recognition, networking, and maybe even a career swap and you’ll want to be looking your best when you take to the spotlight.

CAPRICORN
(December 22 - January 19)

The fruits of your labors towards your long term goals are resurfacing this month.
You are like a comet in flight, others see how far you’ve come and take inspiration from you. Make the money flow by keeping your options open to more unconventional methods of making money. Keep it high vibrational this month and you’ll easily attract aligned relationships into your midst. The full moon in your fellow earth sign Virgo marks a joyous commitment to expanding your horizons. This could mean travel, a move, or a serious relationship depending on what’s going on in your life right now.

AQUARIUS
(January 20 - February 18)

Happy Birthday Aquarius!
You are the center of attention right now.
How are you handling it?
Half the sky’s planets are in your sign this month and all eyes are on you. Pay attention to who around you has your trust as you move forward through the crowd. It might feel like a crushing weight of expectations but know you are not beholden to anything but your own integrity. If you’re feeling like switching things up, the new moon in your sign on the 9th is a great time to set intentions for your health, personal brand, and aesthetic. Helping you to push you in the direction of that which lights your inner fire of passion and drive is Mars and Venus this month. 

PISCES
(February 19 - March 20)

Happy Birthday Pisces!
Time to go with the flow Pisces.
Your subconscious is doing a lot of heavy lifting right now as your birthday approaches. 
You may want to just hermit out and spend some time reflecting and considering the last year. Remember it’s okay to think about your purpose but be careful to not let yourself ruminate to the point of existential dread causing you to forget about the little joys in your life. The full moon in Virgo on the 24th will bring reality to your doorstep in your relationships and give you an opportunity to get some clarity.

December 2023 Horoscope: Clarity, Responsibility, and Chaos

December is here, and truth seeking Sagittarius and plan oriented Capricorn season are here to help you ring in the holidays and the new year.

Hello dear ones, 

December is here, and truth seeking Sagittarius and plan oriented Capricorn season are here to help you ring in the holidays and the new year. It’s a time of clarity and responsibility, but it can also be a lot of fun…and more than a little chaotic.

Let’s do a quick run down of this month’s major transits:

December 1: Mercury enters Capricorn, giving us a clear path to self expression.

December 4: Venus enters Scorpio, making relationships go deeper and more intense this month. Face the shadows together!

December 12: New Moon in Sagittarius means it’s time for fun new beginnings! Take a risk! Shift your perspective, and expand those horizons!

December 12: Mercury Retrograde begins in Capricorn, this is a rough time for communication so prepare for clashes. :(

December 21: Capricorn season begins, make peace with your responsibilities, make a 2024 vision board, and accept what the new year will bring.

December 22: Mercury Retrograde enters Sagittarius bringing moments of clarity and chaos. 

December 26: Full Moon in Cancer brings a wave of nostalgia and reflection. This is an intense day, be honest with yourself about what you are manifesting in your relationships. 

December 29: Venus enters Sagittarius switching up the vibe in your relationships from a watery to a fiery intensity.

Your November Horoscope

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

A new season has arrived for you daring Aries, time to plow forward one small step at a time. Whether you’re planning a trip, an adventure, or a big life move, be sure to pack a wide angle lens with you to help you keep an eye on the big picture. You may discover that some people are testing your boundaries a bit this month, and the full moon in nostalgic Cancer brings family stuff center stage on the 26th. It’s a good opportunity to practice being embodied and stay grounded and present, even when the big emotions come into play. 

DIY Festivus Gift Idea: popsicle stick art: make a picture frame, an ornament, bowl, doll house, jewelry box, bookmark, mini hexagon shelf, or coaster! The options are endless!

Aries 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is healing, and learning to balance your spiritual ideals with the reality of the mundane.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

This month your focus is turned inward. Time to reflect on your relationships to yourself and others. Your loyalty is fierce, but it takes more than loyalty to sustain connection. Take a look at your most fulfilling relationships and the secret sauce that makes it all work seems obvious. If there are relationships in your life that are giving barren blandness or more spice than substance, it’s time to let it go. You are a generous soul, so be giving this season in the ways that matter to you and be sure to give to yourself too. You choose how to show up in your relationships…so if you gotta choose, you might as well show up well dressed, well rested and well fed.

Your DIY Holiday Gift Idea: Cute mushroom garland made from acorn caps, paint, and sticks.

Taurus 2023 Overview: The theme of your year is balancing external and internal maintenance of the mundane aspects of life.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Emotions are running high at the start of the month. You’ve been in an intense phase of life recently and communications are only going to get messier this month with your ruling planet Mercury about to go retrograde. My advice? Get grounded. Get practical. It’s time to tie up loose ends, double check your work, edit the first draft of your novel and get real about the hard work it takes to make real progress. Remember to make time for romance this month though, as your love life can be a welcome escape from the pressure in your career and financial sectors this month.

Your DIY Holiday Idea: Make homemade cards this year to make our loved ones holidays especially warm and bright!

Gemini 2022 Overview: The theme of your life this year is balancing forward momentum with rest. 

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

While you’re still putting together the pieces after last month’s drama, the world is continuing to spin regardless. Take it easy in your personal life because the new moon brings some uncomfiness to your career sector. Cue a ‘get-down-to-business-to-defeat-the-Huns’ style work montage that might leave you feeling a bit burned out but..at least you’ll be able to pay your bills? In the middle of all the holiday wildness, mercury retrograde comes to stir up trouble. It’s going to be a challenge to communicate, so just try to remember to be honest with yourself and your emotions about what you are capable of handling this Christmas.

Your DIY Holiday Idea: Make a DIY snowglobe as a nostalgic keepsake for someone you love!

Cancer 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is to expand and innovate.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Your fellow fire sign Saggittarius is here to light up the skies this month with fire, fun, and festivities. While it’s tempting to drown out all the complexity of the last year in holiday fun, just be careful you don’t end up too strung out on ‘nog. Come Capricorn season later in the month it will be time to get down to business and put your ambition to work setting realistic goals for yourself in the coming year. Analyze your daily routine and see what’s working- or not working in terms of building your dream life. Also, thanks to Venus’s placements it’s also an auspicious month for relationships and romance for you. Make time for a meet-cute with someone special!

Your DIY Holiday Idea: Make a custom advent calendar filled with all your loved ones favorite things!

Leo 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is to address insecurities, debts, and seek meaningful connections with yourself and others. 

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Sagittarius season has you feeling merry and bright, while Mercury in your fellow earth sign Capricorn is allowing you to express your truth and stay grounded in your authenticity. Be on the lookout though, mercury retrograde tries to start up a whole host of trouble on the 13th and the full moon on the 27th exacerbates last month’s drama a bit. Accept that no matter how meticulous, sometimes in life we have to backtrack, we’re only human after all. Mistakes will be made, so don’t stress it too much, just learn to accept it, learn from it, and keep going. Also…now is probably exactly the wrong time to be texting your ex. 

Your DIY Holiday Idea: Everyone loves baked goods for the holidays! Try your hand at some cookies for fudge for your loved ones!

Virgo 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is commitment, mutual support, mind-body-soul connection and career evolution.

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

This month is all about taking the longview. Time to plan for the coming year, get your resolutions for yourself, your health, your business, and your financial goals all set and ready to go. The key to making good goals is balance, be realistic about your strengths and weaknesses. The full moon in Cancer on the 26th is a great time to manifest some of what you hope to achieve in the new year. But look out as things could get emotional or defensive and you may be called upon to play the mediator in your friend group. In terms of romance, this month everyone is scrambling for the holidays, so best to keep it fun and casual until after the new year.

Your DIY Holiday Idea: Make an advent calendar of savings! At the end of the month, collect your savings and buy yourself something nice!

Libra 2023 Overview: The theme of your 2023 is self-acceptance, wellness, intimacy, and abstaining from passing judgment on others.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Tis the season to treat yo self! Enjoy some cake, candycanes, hot cocoa, and just kick up and relax this month. You've been hard at it and it’s now time for a well deserved break. It might also be a good time to take a little break from retail therapy for the sake of your wallet and your relationships. (In other words this month is all about personal finances and relationships.) Instead of scroll-shopping for another hour why not call your mom or best friend on the phone instead? Venus is on your side this month, making your relationships stable and easy going, take advantage of the calm to heal old wounds, and take some epic Christmas card photos.

Your DIY Holiday Idea: Epic and over-the-top Christmas card photos as gifts.

Scorpio 2023 Overview: The theme of your 2023 is devotion, integrity, growth and expansion.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Happy Birthday!

Your birthday season usually heralds an energizing time for you fiery-folk and this season is no different. Spend time stoking your creative and social fires this month. Mars is in your sign lending you confidence and drive to be a freight train charging down the track! But be sure to take off some time alone on the new moon (the 12th) to process any tricky, sticky emotions that are coming up around the beginning of your next year of life and how you want to spend it. Remember you have the right to say what others don’t want to hear in the name of setting your boundaries. Mercury is retrograde on the 13th, which throws a wrench into some of your plans, but it’s alright, even if it’s frustrating now, remember that things can always be picked up again later down the road. The full moon shines on your finances, so maybe keep an eye out for a phone call from a wealthy relative or if you’re less lucky…a debt collector.

Your DIY Holiday Idea: Have a pot-luck party and invite people to participate in a cook-off or bake-off as a part of your holiday party!

Sagittarius 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is self-love, growth, and the opportunity to share your talents with the world.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Happy Birthday! 

While everyone else seems to be out partying, Sagittarius season is your time to reflect, plan and get serious about your future. Time to bust out those wikipedia searches, start a spreadsheet, a vision board, and get clear about the next big thing in your future, whether that’s planning your birthday party or your launch to stardom. You are worth investing your time and energy in. Pay that energy forward to yourself this month and you’ll be glad you did. Single Cap’s will likely be in their ‘working on myself’ phase this month but if you’re partnered this month- be sure to schedule some quality time in with your boo, especially around the full moon. Just keep it thrifty if you can-your birthday month can be spendy but you’ll feel much better about your long term goals if you keep it all in the budget. 

Your DIY Holiday Idea: Make yourself a little vision board stocking and fill it with all your favorite moments from last year, whether it’s pictures, ticket stubs, or your favorite journal entries, or focus on the things you want in the future!

Capricorn 2023 Overview: The theme of your life in 2023 is personal growth and new opportunities for love, career advancement, and strengthened relationships. New years resolutions are getting done this year honey! Simplify your goals into one word motivators and stick to it. 

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Keep your cool this holiday season by finding your personal balance between burnout and having a blast at work and at home. Your money and career sectors are being highlighted by the stars, but with the way the economy has been, there’s no way I’m going there as an astrologer. Still, it’s supposedly a good time to start a new business or a new money making venture! So do with that what you will. My advice is err on the side of being a bit more economical and then if things go really well this month you’ll have a great chance to celebrate the welcome surprise! Once Capricorn season starts later in the month the urge to hibernate on the couch with your favorite tv show will be very real, so stock up on your favorite snacks and get ready to relax a bit.

Your DIY Holiday Idea: Buy or make some cool customizable patches for your favorite snugie!

Aquarius 2023 Overview: The theme of your life in 2023 is focus on finances, transformation, and expressing your authentic self. 

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

This month it’s time to think about how you want the world to see you and how to capitalize on your public image to achieve your goals. Take time to reflect on your public image, your social media brand, and your reputation. What is it you want to see in the mirror tomorrow? A year from now? Take the long view as the busy holiday season coupled with mercury retrograde could slow the launch of your plans. Some former romantic drama might rear its head mid month, try to keep your cool. Remember if you can’t be with the one you love, find reasons to love the one you’re with. And be sure to take your rest days now because once your ruling planet Jupiter goes direct on the 30th, the pace of life will start to pick up faster than you might expect.

Your DIY Holiday Idea: Have a spa day at home with face masks, an epsom salt bath, and an at-home mani-pedi.

Pisces 2023 Overview: The theme of your year is personal growth, self-reliance, hard-work and patience.

November 2023 Horoscope: Intense Scorpio and Truthseeking Sagittarius Make a Dynamic Duo

November is here and with it comes intense Scorpio and truthseeking Sagittarius season. Are you ready for what this dynamic duo is unveiling in your life?

Hello dear ones, 

First off I want to say congratulations on making it through last months Solar and Lunar Eclipses! You did it! But as the hard times fade away into something new and shining, it’s important to be grateful for what we have and to stay present with the life we want to create for ourselves.

November, starts off with some intense Scorpio deepening energy before transitioning into fiery and adventurous Sagittarius season starting Nov 22nd. 

Some key things to keep in mind this month: 

When Headmaster Saturn finally exits retrograde and goes direct on the 4th it will be a make or break moment for your goals, projects, and desires: it’s time to put up or shut up so to speak.

On the 8th Venus moves into Libra, bringing harmony to our relationships. 

The new moon in Scorpio on the 13th invites us to access the deepest depths of our emotions in order to connect to our authentic selves. 

The Gemini full moon on the 27th brings everything full circle, literally, allowing us to communicate clearly what it is that we have been manifesting in our lives.

With Saturn going direct you’ll find yourself opening up to a world of joy and humor again.

Time to redownload Hinge or take your partner on a date because for the first time in a while, the light is shining on you in a way that allows you to be fully seen for who you are. Things might even get deep around the Scorpio new moon, when you receive some clarity around what it is you really need to feel emotionally secure financially, spiritually, and romantically. When the sun moves into your fellow fire sign Sagittarus, it will be time to turn that clarity into action by expanding your horizons

If there are moments of darkness, try to keep in mind that Chiron, the wounded healer, is in your sign this month, illuminating the parts of you that need your loving attention to heal.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

The last lunar eclipse ended a two year cycle for you, and now that you’ve released the things that were holding you back it’s time to embrace a new beginning and turn your feelings into actions that help you build the relationships you want and prioritize the people in your inner circle that really matter to you. Supporting you in accomplishing this, is Libra in Venus, which brings a sense of harmony to your relationships this month. Also showing up for you this month is Saturn in Pisces which helps you to embrace your creativity, and your intuition. Meanwhile Jupiter in retrograde and the Scorpio new moon shine some light on repeating karmic lessons in your life and encourage you to reflect on what you’ve learned.

Taurus 2023 Overview: The theme of your year is balancing external and internal maintenance of the mundane aspects of life.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Scorpio season is ramping up the intensity of your emotions this month. It also has you reflecting on where you’re spending your energy in terms of your commitments, responsibilities, obligations, daily routines and your habits. It’s time to assess where you are spending your energy, and prioritize the things that ignite your inner fire as opposed to raining on your parade. Don’t overthink it though. Trust your gut and be honest about what you really want and need to feel fulfilled at work and at home. Supporting you in initiating any changes you want to make is the new moon in Scorpio on the 13th. Once fiery Sagittarius season begins later in the month, some of that deep emotional intensity of Scorpio will let up and you’ll be more focused on moving forward in your relationships.

Gemini 2022 Overview: The theme of your life this year is balancing forward momentum with rest. 

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

You’ve been undergoing some big changes in your life but now that you are emerging from your cocoon into a full blown butterfly, things are taking a lighter turn as you embrace a new mindset. For you, the depths of your fellow water sign Scorpio offer fated moments, karmic connections, opportunities for true love, and light hearted fun. When your ruling planet the moon goes dark in Scorpio on the 13th it is an ideal time to let your inner idealist take flight and take a deep dive into imagining and setting intentions for creating your dream life. When the sun moves into truth seeking Sagittarius around the 22nd you’ll start to see the path to adventure and expanded horizons beginning to take shape. 

Cancer 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is to expand and innovate.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

This month shines a light on your family, both chosen and given. Dirty laundry may surface, causing painful or dramatic fallouts. Do your best to weather this by acknowledging and doing your part to heal any past hurts that may still live inside of you. You are a born leader, and others look to you for guidance, so do your best to show up as the person your inner lion cub needed when you were little. And mid-month when the Scorpio new moon rises on the 13th, there is an opportunity to add a new addition to your family unit, whether that is a new pet, plant, or even the deepening of a close relationship with a new friend. It’s also a good time to let things go and set new intentions for how you want to show up (or not) within your family dynamic. When your ruling planet the sun moves into your fellow fire sign Sagittarius on the 22nd some of the heaviness of the month will be released and you’ll have a chance to have some fun, flirtinesss, and laughter back in your life again. If you’re feeling up to it than it’s a great time to plan a dance party!

Leo 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is to address insecurities, debts, and seek meaningful connections with yourself and others. 

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Regardless of what is happening around you, you have the ability to cultivate a chemistry of peace within you. It is up to you to make your internal landscape a beautiful garden of your own making.  When Venus moves out of your sign and into relationship oriented Libra on the 8th followed by Mercury’s move into Sagittarius some of the tension you’ve been feeling around a need for perfectionism will be released, giving you a chance to be more honest with yourself and others about what it really takes to connect with you and what you offer to connection. The second half of the month reignites your independent streak, offering you a chance to expand your horizons and maybe even do something spontaneous.

Virgo 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is commitment, mutual support, mind-body-soul connection and career evolution.

And when Mercury enters Sagittarius your throat chakra will be feeling cleared adn ready to support you in speaking your truth-even in rooms that don’t want to hear it. Even though you are the relationship oriented sign of the zodiac, the planets are aligning to push you into a more independent, and carefree state of mind in the public sectors of your life like career and outward appearance. And once the sun moves into Sagittarius at the end of the month you’re creativity will be getting a cosmic boost to help you move in whatever direction lights your creative fire.

Libra 2023 Overview: The theme of your 2023 is self-acceptance, wellness, intimacy, and abstaining from passing judgment on others.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Happy Birthday Scorpio!

The sun, mars, and mercury are in your sign this month sending you on a deep dive to discover what lights you up, what drives you, and your inner dialogue. This new moon in your sign offers a moment of rebirth for you. Take what has died, light it on fire and send it sailing off into the sunset so that you can build the dreamboat life of your dreams. Remember to be honest with yourself about your limits, set healthy boundaries and focus on prioritizing what actually matters to you rather than spreading yourself too thin. If you’re not happy with where you live-move. If you want a new job-go get it. Focus on making one thing happen at a time and the rest will fall into place once the sun moves into the life longer learner Sagittarius on the 22nd.

All the Scoprio energy at the beginning of this month takes you on an inward journey to the center of what motivates you, where you are placing your energy, and what habits might be holding you back.

Here’s what’s happening in astrology this month:

Libra Season: Striking a Balance in Our Relationships

The autumnal equinox on Sept 23rd brought the Libra season into crystal clear view.
Now is the time to meditate on the yin and yang of life, and cultivate an internal balance between light and darkness. It’s a good month for taking the middle path, or just absolutely leaning into your villain era and embracing the chaos or being both light and dark. Lay low, go off, or do a little of both. It’s up to you babes.

The Sun and Mercury host a meet cute in the sign of Libra on the 20th, shining some charm and a bright light on your relationships and lines of communication.

Things turn climatic and cinematic during the new moon and solar eclipse in Libra on the 14th. Expect BIG shifts in your relationships and partnerships.

Scorpio Season

Mars enters Scorpio on the 12th, causing us to play our cards a little closer to the vest, hiding our motivations, and potentially all out ending some shit that is no longer aligned to us. It then trines Saturn in its fellow water sign Pisces on the 13th, widening your perspective to span the oceans of time and consider the long game. 

The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23rd, amping up the intensity of just about everything. And then of course, Mercury transitions from Libra into Scorpio soon after, making us crave soul deep conversations over flirty small talk...which is right on par as as you’ll be getting a big second helping of that climatic eclipse energy on the 28th, when the full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus brings big feelings from the deep dark bubbling to the surface, allowing for deep self reflection, clarity, emotional breakthroughs, heightened intuition, and new beginnings. 

Your October Horoscope

September 2023 Horoscope: Navigating the Cosmic Ballet of Change

September's celestial choreography is unfolding, and it's a performance you won't want to miss! Dive into your September 2023 horoscope to discover what the universe has in store.

Hello Dear Readers,

As we embark on this September journey, we're about to navigate a cosmic dance of reflection and intention. September 2023 holds the power of transition, beckoning us closer to the year's finale. As we stand on the brink of the final quarter, the Universe invites us to restore, reflect, and find solace within ourselves.

The firmament above narrates a tale of balancing acts this month. Even as the pragmatic Virgo Sun prompts us to refine our health and organize our ambitions, the universe offers a gentle reminder: amidst the orderly, expect the unexpected. With Uranus in retrograde within sturdy Taurus, foundations might quake, but it's within such tremors that we unearth life's humor.

Love and abundance seekers, rejoice! Venus, after her passionate sojourn through Leo, concludes her retrograde phase on the 3rd. As her shadow recedes, our magnetic pull strengthens, drawing love and prosperity closer. Yet, as one celestial body finds its path, Jupiter begins its retrograde dance through Taurus, whispering ancient lessons we must heed and grow from. The Virgo New Moon on the 14th stands as a cosmic ally, urging us to re-evaluate and craft new paths to coveted results.

Mars, our fiery planet of action, waltzes through harmonious Libra, emphasizing relationships for all the signs. A word to the wise: with a grand total of seven planets spinning backward, communication can become a loop of echoes. Under Mars' Libra influence, opt for gentleness over conflict. Let its balanced energy guide your interactions, especially as we usher in the calming breeze of Libra season on the 23rd – a time where openness and tranquility might just become our best friends.

Speaking of retrogrades, as Venus steps out of hers, Mercury concludes its own on the 15th. If you've felt like you're deciphering riddles in communications, anticipate clearer skies ahead. Post this date, the mind sharpens, allowing insights to piece together seamlessly. A call to action: harness this clarity, presenting your diligently worked-upon projects to those who’d appreciate and resonate.

By the 23rd, feel the scales tip towards balance and beauty as the Sun enters Libra. This time heralds not just the golden hues of fall but also a celestial equilibrium. Let romance and personal harmony be your guiding stars. Yet, brace for a crescendo of passion as the Aries Full Moon on the 29th infuses the collective with fervor and fire.

Strap in, dear ones, for a month of contrasts, lessons, and growth. Lean into the wisdom of the stars, find humor amidst chaos, and embrace the love that the universe showers upon you.

To a September steeped in celestial wonder,
Cole Goodwin

Your September Horoscope

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Greetings, spirited Aries,

As you cast a glance back at the month gone by, you'll recall the winds of destiny filling your sails. The Lunar North Node in your sign directed you along your destined path, while Mars in Virgo had you immersed in a world of introspection, focusing on wellness and refining daily routines. With such a foundation, you're primed to embrace the magic September has in store.

The spotlight this month is the Full Moon in your very sign on the 29th, which feels almost like the universe is calling you home. The closure of Venus Retrograde on September 3 invites introspection: What have you learned about your relationships? Where do your true desires lie?

Chiron's soft whispers have perhaps resonated louder within, challenging you to embrace vulnerabilities, while Jupiter and Uranus herald retrospection, pushing you to confront your shadows. Embrace them; for in these shadows, you might find undiscovered strengths.

September 14's New Moon, graced by Virgo's meticulous energy, nudges you to place well-being on a pedestal. Mercury's retrograde bowing out a day later brings clarity and an unclouded vision, fortifying your journey towards better health and mindset.

With the Sun's diligent march through Virgo, your observational prowess shines. Be gentle, dear Aries, especially with loved ones striving to do their best. The dance of the Sun and Neptune on the 19th might bring past regrets to the forefront. Use this time to focus on what can be influenced, letting go of what's set in stone.

The onset of Libra season on the 23rd is a serenade of love and relationships. Nurture bonds, both platonic and romantic, with the care they deserve. The Full Moon on the 29th, a mirror to your fiery essence, amplifies this sentiment, bringing a culmination to a month of introspection, love, and growth.

Embrace the month ahead, Aries, continuing the journey of self-discovery and love you embarked on last month. Remember, your 2023 journey is all about healing, striking a balance between the celestial and the mundane.

To-Do's for September: Journaling, relationship check-in, wellness regimen, self-care ritual, date night.

Crystal Allies: Carnelian (supports fiery energy), Rose Quartz (love and stability), Clear Quartz (clarity), Black Tourmaline (grounding, warding).

Aries 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is healing, and learning to balance your spiritual ideals with the reality of the mundane.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Dear Taurus, Earth's Patient Bloom,

As August's curtain fell, the whispers of introspection played like a soft, meandering river through your heart. The silvery glow of August's full moon had planted seeds of creativity, and now, as September dances in, golden sunrays breathe life into those seeds. A cosmic dance commences: Jupiter, moving backward through your sign, drapes you in the velvety memories of 2012. Imagine delicate, forgotten pages of journals and sun-faded photographs leading you down a nostalgic path, flanked by the towering trees of your past.

Bathed in Virgo’s meticulous sun, your canvas this month shimmers, waiting for bold strokes of passion and whispers of imagination. Venus, your guiding star, concludes her retrograde waltz on the 3rd, washing over you with waves of cerulean calm. Embrace this, but also let the pinks and reds of dawn remind you of the lessons learned about intimacy's intricate dance.

On the 14th, the Virgo New Moon descends like a silver, silken scarf, urging you to ink the first lines of your passion project's poetic sonnet. As Mercury strides forward again, let the celestial quill in your hand draw ideas from the very constellations.

Libra season sweeps in on the 23rd, its balmy breezes carrying the fragrance of fresh blooms, urging a rebirth of your wellness rituals. Like intertwining vines, seek the embrace of comrades in shared dreams. But, as the ember-lit Aries Full Moon rises on the 29th, retreat to your personal sanctuary, a grove where moonbeams dance and solitude sings, to rejuvenate your spirit.

To-Do's for September: Wander down memory lanes, paint your passions, create sanctuaries at home, weave new health tales, embrace moonlit solitude.

Crystal Allies: Emerald (for self-reflection and memory), Rose Quartz (love and calm), Citrine (for creativity), and Amethyst (for tranquility and peace).

Taurus 2023 Overview: The theme of your year is balancing external and internal maintenance of the mundane aspects of life.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Twins of the heavens, Gemini, where one star ends, another begins in your cosmic dance. As the gossamer threads of summer's end gently weave into September's tapestry, memories of last month's challenges and triumphs linger like faded petals in a long-forgotten book. Saturn's retrograde shadow might have danced on your career’s horizon, but now you find yourself at a crossroads. Think back to August's lessons: patience was your mantra, transformation, your constant companion. And now? The universe writes a new chapter for you in the storybook of stars.

As Virgo's meticulous energy bathes your domestic realm, it's a call for introspection; an invitation to unearth the roots, to tenderly handle fragments of the past, both radiant and shadowy. With each sigh of the old floorboards or the soft whisper of aged photographs, there's a story waiting to be retold. Embrace the embrace of nostalgia, and let the melodies, literature, and fashions of bygone days color your world once more.

Venus, with her harmonious dance, finds her stride on September 3rd, weaving a silken thread of balance and clarity through the complex labyrinth of your heart. When the equinox pushes the sun into Libra's embrace on the 23rd, you’ll feel the gilded touch of creativity. Imagine golden leaves gently floating down, each one an invitation, a chance for connection, romance, and renewed zeal.

But ah, Gemini, as the wind sings and moonlight drapes the world in silvery gauze on the 29th, let the Aries Full Moon guide you towards community. Wander the streets of local artisans, savoring the aroma of nearby cafes, cherishing the simple joy of togetherness. However, a word to the wise: amid the celestial dance, some stars twinkle with mischief. Be prudent, especially in professional realms. Not every secret is meant to be shared, not every hand extended in friendship.

Reflecting on August's pauses, let September be the melody after the rest, the upward sweep in your symphonic journey. Dance with the universe, but remember, balance remains your sacred song.

To-Do's for September: Revisit old memories, cultivate home harmony, express creativity, cherish community connections, and practice discernment.

Crystal Allies: Selenite (for clarity), Amethyst (for introspection), Citrine (for creativity), and Labradorite (for protection).

Gemini 2022 Overview: The theme of your life this year is balancing forward momentum with rest. 

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Dear lunar guardians of the heart, Cancer, as the sun retreats from the zenith of summer, your tides ebb and flow with amplified intensity this September. Last month's silvery moonlight bathed you in nurturing glows, whispering secrets of self-care and gentle financial cautions. Now, Virgo's season beckons you, pulling at the edges of your consciousness. The details, once ignored, are petals unfurling under the gaze of the sun, revealing deeper textures and colors. There's a call for vigilance, a gentle reminder to tune into your intuitive compass when confronted with situations that send ripples through your still waters.

The New Moon in Virgo on the 14th encourages you to find your voice, an eloquent echo of strength and candor. A dance between vulnerability and empowerment awaits, but fear not, for your shell is both your sanctuary and your armor. When Libra season arrives on the 23rd, it drapes your home in velvety warmth. Envision golden afternoons awash with the fragrances of home-cooked meals, the tactile joy of rearranging spaces, and the comfort of familiar faces gathered around a hearth.

Yet, as the cosmos spins its tale, deep reflections will surface. Embrace them, for every disappointment and scar is but a testament to your resilience. Talks of shared spaces and future dreams may bloom with a special someone, painting promises of tomorrow.

Then, under the fiery gaze of the Aries Full Moon on the 29th, your professional realm ignites. Opportunities rise like phoenixes from ashes, yet, a word of caution: amidst the blaze, Venus and Uranus may play a mischievous game, challenging your sense of worth. Stand tall, dear moonchild, for every wave that crashes only reinforces the majesty of the shore.

Recalling August's luminous guidance, let September be the voyage into newer horizons. As you have nurtured, so too must you embark, expanding and innovating with each step on the sands of time.

To-Do's for September: Hone your observation, find your voice, indulge in domestic joys, reflect on past lessons, pursue professional goals with vigor, and safeguard your self-worth.

Crystal Allies: Moonstone (for intuition and emotional balance), Fluorite (for clarity and focus), Carnelian (for courage and motivation), and Rose Quartz (for self-love and inner healing).

Cancer 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is to expand and innovate.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Greetings, lion-hearted spirits of the celestial savannah!

The end of summer transitions you from the blazing spotlight of your season to the meticulous eye of Virgo. With the reflection of last month's Venus retrograde fading like twilight, your personal reinvention unfolds its petals, revealing the vibrant heart within.

Ah, dear Leo, Virgo season tugs you into the world of plans and pragmatism. Your bank account becomes a living entity, whispering in numbers and percentages, urging you to be its wise steward. Eclipsed by this month's New Moon on the 14th, any long-overdue negotiations around pay or terms can be rekindled like old flames. Be your own advocate, but like an eloquent statesman, prepare your case well.

As the equinox brings autumn and the sun sidesteps into Libra on the 23rd, your words become silk threads weaving tapestries of connection. From romantic whispers to creative expressions, a gentler aura settles upon you. Beware, however, of the double-edged sword of indecisiveness. Do not let your roar become a mere murmur.

Mark the 29th in gold; the Aries Full Moon inflames your ninth house of spiritual and intellectual expansion. It's a day that fans the eternal flames within your soul, urging you to honor your core beliefs, listen to ancestral whispers, and dare to see beyond the horizon. Majestic visions may arise, like the Serengeti sun on a misty morning, guiding you through life's complexities.

You step into September with lessons learned from the retrograde murkiness, but with Mercury direct on the 15th, your love declarations or those you receive take on a clearer, more resonant tone. As you wade through these cosmic energies, remember to converse with the most important entity in your life: yourself.

Building on the theme of this year, continue to seek profound connections and address any lingering uncertainties. Become the curator of your own soul's museum, adding pieces that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.

To-Do's for September: Review finances, be assertive in compensation talks, revel in communicative exchanges, practice decision-making, engage in spiritual self-discovery, express your creativity, and continue to nurture inner dialogues.

Crystal Allies: Citrine (for financial clarity), Blue Lace Agate (for articulate communication), Garnet (for passion and conviction), Lapis Lazuli (for spiritual wisdom), and Clear Quartz (for overall balance and clarity).

Leo 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is to address insecurities, debts, and seek meaningful connections with yourself and others. 

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Blessings of the harvest season, Virgo!

As you emerge from a month of quiet introspection, the cosmos is alight with the glow of your sign. The universe’s efficiency expert, you navigate the waves of September with the precision of a maestro, deftly wielding your conductor’s baton.

Bask in the warm embrace of your sun sign; it bolsters your abilities, making you a magnetic figure in the celestial play. Problem-solving becomes as easy as breathing, and your popularity soars like the autumn leaves on a windy day. But ah, conscientious Virgo, avoid the siren song of taking on the burdens of others, lest you lose sight of your own path.

As the New Moon makes its entrancing appearance on the 14th, close your eyes and make a heartfelt wish. It's a golden moment, shimmering with promise and potential. The skies further clear up as Mercury, your ruling planet, steadies its course on the 15th. Breathe out any lingering confusions from the retrograde and welcome newfound clarity, a gift wrapped in silver starlight.

When the sun gently tiptoes into Libra on the 23rd, grounding energy envelops you. Nature beckons, a healer and muse in one. Let the crisp air clear your mind and the rustling leaves sing songs of prosperity. Financial matters come into focus, hinting at forthcoming gains and perhaps, a beneficial review of joint budgets. As the Aries Full Moon dawns on the 29th, embrace transformation's dance, and let it lead you to realms unknown.

Libra season may pivot your thoughts towards material gains, but Saturn retrograde in your partnership zone suggests collaborating creatively. Your endeavors could ascend to dazzling heights with the right partner.

Building on this year's theme, deepen your commitments, foster mutual support, and embrace the delicate dance between mind, body, and soul, paving the path for continued career evolution.

To-Do's for September: Prioritize personal goals, set intentions around the New Moon, welcome clarity post-Mercury Retrograde, spend quality time in nature, review financial strategies, be open to transformation, and explore potential collaborations.

Crystal Allies: Amazonite (for clear communication), Green Aventurine (for prosperity and growth), Amethyst (for spiritual insights), Citrine (for self-assuredness), and Malachite (for transformation and heart healing).

Virgo 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is commitment, mutual support, mind-body-soul connection and career evolution.

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Greetings, gracious Libra!

The cosmic scales are tipping in your favor, revealing a dance of introspection and expression. As the leaves prepare to turn, you too are on the cusp of change and revelation.

The soft beams of the Virgo Sun pierce the veil of your house of introspection this month, urging you to journey within. Seek the whispers of your deepest truths and let them guide your steps. Patterns may emerge, some entwined in shadow. But fear not, the Virgo New Moon on the 14th provides a potent opportunity to break free, aligning actions with transformative intent.

As Mars sweeps through your sign, a rush of vigor invigorates you, fueling your urge to reinvent and evolve. Channel your inner thrift queen or king – explore secondhand havens, de-clutter, and perhaps monetize those once-loved treasures. Money-making aside, there's a deeper invitation here: to redefine your essence without the pressure of excessive spending.

With Jupiter and Uranus in their retrograde dances, the spotlight is on depth and discernment. It might feel natural for your generous heart to share abundantly, but the cosmos gently advises discretion, especially in financial and mental matters. As you work diligently behind the curtain on passion projects, remember that the right moment for their debut will arrive.

And arrive it does! As the Sun embraces your sign on the 23rd, heralding your birthday season, the world beckons. Feel your energy amplified and let yourself radiate. Venus and Chiron’s celestial union on the same day promises healing, making it a sublime time for romance and rejuvenation.

By the time the fiery Aries Full Moon illuminates the night sky on the 29th, passion will reign supreme. Love’s tender allure beckons, yet remain discerning. Watch for red flags, and ensure that love's glow isn't merely a mirage. Emotions may urge you to sprint, but tread with mindfulness.

Building on this year’s theme, let self-acceptance be your compass. Prioritize wellness, embrace the depths of intimacy, and refrain from hastily judging those who walk beside you.

To-Do's for September: Prioritize introspection, embrace transformative opportunities around the New Moon, declutter and explore monetizing unused items, practice discretion in sharing, work diligently on projects, and approach relationships and emotions with clarity and caution.

Crystal Allies: Rose Quartz (for love and self-acceptance), Lapis Lazuli (for introspection and clarity), Bloodstone (for vitality and transformation), Moonstone (for balancing emotions), and Sodalite (for clear communication and truth).

Libra 2023 Overview: The theme of your 2023 is self-acceptance, wellness, intimacy, and abstaining from passing judgment on others.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Dear mysterious Scorpio,

As the waning days of August carried you through a transformative passage, you discovered your burgeoning strength amidst the cosmic dance. The universe whispered tales of change, urging you to not just be an observer but a fervent participant in your own evolution. With August's challenges carving out a diamond-like resilience in you, September unfolds as a symphonic sequel, echoing with the songs of dreams, love, and introspection.

In September's dawning light, you're bathed in the silvery remnants of the dream-laden Pisces full moon from August's end. Like a moth drawn to a mystical flame, you're beckoned towards romance and sensuality. With Venus awakening from her retrograde slumber on the 3rd, embrace the allure, letting love's gentle tendrils weave around your heart.

But, not all is a dreamy waltz, with Jupiter and Uranus retrograding in Taurus, emotions may be tumultuous. The realms of partnerships stand at the epicenter of these planetary shifts. As your desires sway, take solace in nature's embrace. Leave the digital realm behind, even for a short while, and immerse in the healing bosom of Mother Earth.

Virgo's energies this month spotlight social consciousness in your chart, invoking a drive to make lasting, positive impacts. Scorpio, the world beckons your profound touch. Join forces with like-minded souls, share your vision, and amplify your digital presence during the Virgo New Moon on the 14th.

Yet, as Libra season begins on the 23rd, you're beckoned to retreat, transforming from a social butterfly into a reflective sage. Dive deep into passion projects, pouring your emotions into your craft, and gear up for what the future holds.

By the Aries full moon on the 29th, health and well-being take center stage. Simultaneously, a competitive aura may brew in your professional sphere. While rising above pettiness is key, confronting issues head-on, with calm and clarity, is equally vital. Embrace the unforeseen and learn to dance with the unpredictable, for by month’s end, the unexpected will be your newfound ally.

Drawing from the year's overarching themes, embrace growth, expand with integrity, and let your unwavering devotion shine through every endeavor.

To-Do's for September: Immerse in nature's serenity, collaborate with like-minded souls, update your digital presence, allocate quiet time for introspection, focus on health and well-being, and handle professional challenges with grace.

Crystal Allies: Smoky Quartz (for grounding and detoxification), Malachite (for transformation and heart healing), Labradorite (for intuition and protection), Citrine (for clarity and abundance), and Obsidian (for grounding and confronting truths).

Scorpio 2023 Overview: The theme of your 2023 is devotion, integrity, growth and expansion.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Dear celestial Archer,

As the golden beams of August began to wane, your heart was filled with whispers and lessons of patience. Now, September calls, painting your heavens with deeper hues of introspection and connection.

Your guiding planet, Jupiter, decides to tango backwards starting September 4th. It's akin to a gentle rain after the vivacity of a summer's day, a reminder that there's serenity in introspection. Life is not always about shooting arrows towards the sun, sometimes it’s about resting your bow and relishing the gentle glow of twilight.

On the 14th, under the New Moon's Virgoan gaze, you’re beckoned to revisit, reassess, and rejuvenate. Dust off the forgotten corners of your life, and in the process, you may unearth long-forgotten dreams or relics of joy. And as Mercury awakens, rejuvenated, on the 15th, these rediscoveries might shape themselves into delightful tales or ventures.

But as you tread the path of dreams and ambitions, tread lightly. With the scales of Libra blessing the skies from the 23rd, balance becomes key. Seek genuine connections, yet hold your quiver close; not every extended hand brings with it kind intentions. However, true bonds forged now will shimmer, reflecting genuine golden hues amidst the sea of fleeting sparkles.

By the month's end, under the Aries full moon's bold gaze, your soul feels a tug—a call to revel, to dance, to celebrate the myriad experiences, both tempests and tranquil breezes, of the journey so far. Embrace it, dear Sag, for in every moonlit dance, there lies the promise of dawn.

In alignment with 2023's theme, remember: This year is not merely about the horizons you chase, but the tapestry of stars you illuminate with your radiant essence, inspiring the world.

To-Do's for September: Cherish the pause between actions, declutter your mind and space, cherish true connections, showcase your rediscovered treasures, dance in the moonlight, and honor your heart's whispers.

Crystal Allies: Amethyst (for dreams and balance), Tiger's Eye (for clarity and discernment), Citrine (for joy and rediscovery), Rose Quartz (to nurture self-love), and Selenite (to channel lunar energies).

Sagittarius 2023 Overview: The theme of your life this year is self-love, growth, and the opportunity to share your talents with the world.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Whispered tales of August's blue moon still linger, tenacious Capricorn, coloring your memories with hues of growth and transformation. The cradle of Virgo's embrace this September is a gentle reminder of life's simpler joys, pulling you into a dance of roses and sunlight, illuminating your undying efforts.

Drift back for a moment, to childhood echoes and untapped desires, as Jupiter's retrograde waltz in Taurus, starting the 4th, nudges you to unearth activities and passions once forgotten. Those innocent dreams hold messages for your heart, beckoning you to remember there's a rhythm beyond the constant drumming of work.

The soft glint of Venus turning direct in Leo is like a shimmering coin found in the sun-kissed sand — a promise of financial growth and prosperity. But, it's also a time of introspection, dear Capricorn, of looking into the looking glass of your past, and understanding the shadows cast by old fears and long-held traumas.

As you journey forward, the scales of Libra on the 23rd beckon you towards the unexpected. With Mercury's muddling retrograde behind you, paths once hidden now open wide. Wander into new terrains and embrace invitations from fate; after all, adventures are life's way of applauding your relentless spirit.

That luminous Virgo New Moon on the 14th? It's a celestial song just for you, a testament to the boundless possibilities that lay ahead. Harness its magic to chart your aspirations, with the universe as your most ardent supporter. And as the winds of fall rustle, Libra's entrance signals a dance of balance in your professional world. Embrace the twirls and dips, for they're steps towards grander accolades.

Come the 29th, the Aries Full Moon paints the sky, stirring softness within your bones. The world will see your gentler side, one brimming with nostalgia. Let that moonlight lead you home, to the embrace of dear ones and the comfort of old tales.

Remember, determined Capricorn, as you dared to grow and change last month, this September is your time to bask in life's sweet symphony. Every note, every pause, is a testament to your journey. Embrace the melody, for it's composed just for you.

To-Dos for September: Rediscover a childhood hobby. Revisit financial plans with optimism. Prioritize balance in professional endeavors. Schedule a reunion with childhood friends. Plan moments of solitude at home to reflect.

Crystal Allies: Malachite (emotional healing), Clear Quartz (amplify your intentions), Garnet (reignite passion and connection to your roots).

Capricorn 2023 Overview: The theme of your life in 2023 is personal growth and new opportunities for love, career advancement, and strengthened relationships. New years resolutions are getting done this year honey! Simplify your goals into one word motivators and stick to it. 

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

As August's cosmic dances fade and the winds of September beckon, dear Aquarius, the universe invites you to a renewed canvas of self-awareness. Virgo's nurturing rays cast a spotlight, prompting you to discern the harmonies and dissonances in your life. As the earth turns and paints nature with autumn hues, you'll find the space to recalibrate and embrace both evolution and dissolution.

Uranus, one of your guiding stars, drifts in a retrograde ballet in Taurus this month. With its occasional steps that might seem out of sync with your Aquarian rhythm, the cosmic music suggests a respite, especially from the digital cacophonies of our age. Consider embracing the quiet, if only for a while, detoxing from the virtual and tuning into the tangible. Let Mercury's and Uranus' combined retrograde dance be a gentle reminder to avoid the trap of overstimulation.

Now, with collaborators and ventures at the forefront, Virgo season beckons you to seek balance. With the energies of the Virgo New Moon on the 14th and Mercury's direct turn on the 15th, it's a celestial nod to evaluate and fortify, ensuring mutual growth and harmony. With finances and partnerships under this lunar magnifying glass, gear up to step into the final quarter of the year empowered and assertive.

Libra's entrance on the 23rd is like a soft, uplifting breeze for your airy nature. A call to dreams and aspirations waiting in the wings, and perhaps, a nudge to manifest them before the year concludes. As Mercury and Jupiter dance in alignment on the 25th, they weave a tapestry of deep connections and soulful exchanges. Embrace conversations that pierce the surface, for in truth, lies transformative power.

The Aries Full Moon on the 29th is your stage, Aquarius. It promises flashes of genius and moments of profound clarity. As if flipping through a book of insights, pen them down, for they might be the stepping stones to newer learnings and intellectual pursuits. And while this moon might instigate a playful challenge, remember to avoid getting caught in the whirlwind of unnecessary disputes.

To-Do's for September: Embrace a tech detox. Assess collaborations for mutual growth. Plan your Q4 finances with precision. Create and start ticking off your year-end bucket list. Dive deep into soulful conversations. Harness insights from the Aries Full Moon.

Crystal Allies: Lapis Lazuli (for enhanced intuition and wisdom), Smoky Quartz (for grounding amidst change), Green Aventurine (for luck in ventures), Aquamarine (for calm communication), Labradorite (to tap into cosmic insights).

August might have steered you to navigate the complexities of relationships, Aquarius, but September sings a tune of clarity, vision, and spiritual depth. As you tread this month's path, let each step be an expression of your most genuine self, anchored in both purpose and passion.

Aquarius 2023 Overview: The theme of your life in 2023 is focus on finances, transformation, and expressing your authentic self. 

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Dear Pisces,

As September arrives, memories of the August moon that bathed you in its shimmering silver are still alive. The gentle ebb and flow of dreams that this moon provoked in you continue, and they have secrets to share. Keep that dream journal close; Venus’s dance ending its retrograde in Leo might just illuminate those nocturnal messages with rays of clarity.

September is about relationships and evolution. Recall the soft touch of the Virgo moon during your season six months ago? Now, as the Virgo new moon rises on the 14th, it whispers of partnerships, beckoning you to set intentions that foster growth. With the shadows of Mercury retrograde casting truths on matters previously obscured, you're invited to see anew, to re-approach situations with the wisdom of hindsight. Sometimes, dear Pisces, the universe retraces its steps to show you what you missed the first time.

Virgo season also beckons a symphony of love, balance, and wellness in your life. As the world hustles, you're reminded to find peace. Venus, on the 3rd, reignites routines, infusing both work and home with a sense of order. When the Virgo New Moon breathes life on the 14th, relationships bloom afresh. If solitude is your companion right now, this is a gentle nudge to introspect on your own desires and standards.

As the winds of autumn play, Libra season on the 23rd tempts you with transformation. But while the allure of reinvention sparkles, the Aries Full Moon on the 29th cautions restraint, especially when it comes to financial ventures. Instead of seeking outwardly, dive deep within. Gratitude might just be the key that unlocks your heart’s true desires.

In closing, this month promises spiritual, financial, and professional revelations. By September's end, you'll marvel at the journey you've taken, and the personal metamorphoses you've undergone.

To-Do's for September: Document your dreams diligently. Reflect on your relationships—past and present. Prioritize wellness in every form. Embrace gratitude over grandeur. Seek balance amidst change. Relish in personal pampering.

Crystal Allies: Moonstone (to connect with your dreams and intuition), Rose Quartz (for nurturing love and relationships), Amethyst (for grounding and tranquility), Citrine (to manifest abundance and avoid financial impulsiveness), Aquamarine (for clarity during transformation).

Pisces 2023 Overview: The theme of your year is personal growth, self-reliance, hard-work and patience.

September 2022 Horoscopes: Libra season brings the love and Mercury RX brings the spice

Read our horoscopes to discover what the stars, tarot cards, and crystals have in store for your sign this September.

Hello dear ones,

We’re halfway through the maiden healer, Virgo’s season and you’re likely to be feeling the transition rather acutely. 

After all, despite the fact that we live in a human dominated society that often considers itself separate from nature- we are really a part of nature, animals that can instinctually attune and adapt to nature and the shifting seasons. During this shift, the animals of our bodies continue to experience a restless instinct to gather, to prepare, and to make the most of the remaining summer sun. 

September starts off with us fully in Mercury retrograde’s shadow phase before it goes fully retrograde in Libra, the sign of partnership and romance on the 9th causing misunderstandings, reflections, and overthinking to abound. 

Meanwhile, Venus exits expressive Leo and transitions into perfectionist Virgo on the 4th. This transit marks the beginning of cuffing season, as summer flings either turn serious, or fade into fall shadows. It also means that we’ll be more prone to analyzing and critiquing ourselves and others in regards to our habits and behaviors in relationships. My advice? Maintain your boundaries. But don’t be so inflexible that you become rigid in your thinking. Try to remember that no one is perfect, all anyone can really do is strive to be their best self. 

On Saturday the 10th, the full moon in Pisces causes you to reconnect with your idealism in ways that may or may not be healthy and signaling either a need to complete additional shadow work or move forward with actions that support your goals. 

Libra season begins on the 22nd, marking the first day of fall, followed by the new moon in Libra on the 25th, which is a great time to set new goals or take up new hobbies.. Relationship, romance and justice oriented Libra ruling the skies means you’ll be looking to balance the scales. 

On the 29th Venus moves into her home sign of Libra, bringing harmony to our relationships and helping us to make space in our lives for the things that bring us joy, while also making us a bit indecisive about where exactly we should be making that space.

Also in retrograde this month:

Jupiter is retrograde. Take calculated risks.

Saturn is retrograde in Aquarius until late October causing culture conflicts and making you rethink, rework, and revise our long term commitments and goals. Saturn is the planet of ego, karma, justice and career. Those who are seeking to balance the world’s karmic scales and socially progressive ideals like gender equality, LGBTQ+ acceptance, healthcare reform, and education reform will continue to be challenged by old guard ideals of religious zealously, infatuation with tradition and political fanaticism during this transit. 

Pluto is still retrograde in Capricorn until October 28th, activating our karma around money, ambition, power, boundaries, limits, and abuse of power on a global scale and leading to the new generations' societal disillusionment.

Neptune is retrograde in Pisces. Neptune will have humanity reflecting on our hopes, dreams, ideals, and aspirations on a global level until December 3rd. Fortunately, unlike some planets (cough, I’m looking at you Mercury, cough) in retrograde Neptune has a certain subtlety to it, especially while in its home sign of Pisces. It is a time when the state of your inner world is revealed to you. This will be a deeply introspective time that lends itself to globally shifting spiritual ideologies, deepening intuition, dream manifestation, dissolving, and immersion in our thoughts and feelings. 

Neptune RX advice: 

Do: Connect with your spirit and embrace the positive energies that surround you.

Don’t: Disassociate until you don’t know what’s real. Run away. Fall into nostalgia traps.

Astrology is a tool we can use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond to what’s happening both internally and externally in the world.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Dear Aries, 

While spontaneity might be your usual method of finding fun, this month it might be better to hold back a bit and make actual plans. 

As Libra season begins your romance sectors are lighting up and you may have a chance to find that someone to share the upcoming sweater weather with. 

But for some of ya’ll out there, the best thing you can do right now is stay single. Especially considering Mercury is retrograde this month. So, lean into that romantic energy by treating yourself.  

Take yourself out on a date if you dare. You just might have the best time of your life.

Aries 2022 Overview

Your Tarot Card: Nine of Pentacles

Dear Aries, this moonth is an invitation to focus on how you earn income. Does your work please you? Delight you? Are you learning skills that feel enriching for you? If not… it is time for a change. Ask for that raise, that educational opportunity or begin looking elsewhere for the next juicy work opportunity! You are meant to shine at work.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Dear Taurus, 

You’ve got a lot going on my dear but you’ve also got a lot going for you.

Things look good for your career this month. But if you’re feeling overwhelmed with passion projects, work, and the long list of things you want to accomplish this month. Brain dump it all onto paper, prioritize the list, and start working your way through it. 

If you’re open to love you may see sparks fly later this month but beware mercury retrograde might impact your new romance.  

And if you’re in your single and selfish phase… which is likely considering you’ve been going through big identity shifts this year. The best thing you can do with that Libra season energy at the end of the month is to invest in yourself. I’m talking about booking that flight to Cancun, making love to yourself in the mirror, buying yourself dinner, and finally setting up a retirement account.

Taurus 2022 Overview

Your Tarot Card: Knight of Cups

Taurus, this moonth is an adventure into the depth of your emotions. How do you feel about your life in this moment? Do you feel satisfied by your environment and by your relationships? If the answer to either of these questions is no, it is time for a shift during this time of Equinox. Let your heart be your guide!

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Dear Gemini, 

Your ruling planet Mercury is retrograde this month so you’ll be feeling the backwards rotation of communication, travel, and memory more than some of the folks around you. 

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to make yourself the center of attention this month as your fame and public image sectors light up making you feel even more charismatic than usual. Even if you don’t hit your instagram or facebook engagement goals this month, trust that you’re laying the foundation to reach a wider audience. 

You’ll be feeling flirty and social at the end of the month, thanks to Venus in your fellow air sign Libra, stay organized to fit it all in without stress.

Gemini 2022 Overview

Your Tarot Card: The Chariot

Gemini, this moonth is characterized by A major pattern disruption in the way you normally operate. And this is a really good thing! Allow yourself to change and evolve and learn to operate from a deeper sense of maturity. Everyone benefits when we learn to respond to stress rather than react to it. This is your time to learn how to regulate yourself in a more compassionate way.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Dear Cancer, 

Venus in Virgo (a stressful aspect) and then Venus in Libra (a harmonious aspect) later in the month are helping you to communicate in your relationships although the Mercury retrograde and your defensive tendencies  might get in the way of any wedding bells. 

The full moon brings visions of your dream future. And the new moon inspires you to write them down and start manifesting your future. Don’t stress the small stuff, there is tranquility in seeing the big picture.

Cancer 2022 Overview

Your Tarot Card: The Tower

Cancer, this moonth has some big changes in store for you. Sometimes people get afraid when this card arises but I personally find this to be a card of liberation! When the Tower arrives, it means that our external environment is forcing us to change for the better. It is not something to resist or be afraid of. In fact it is an invitation from The Universe for us to step in to rebirth and allow ourselves to change appropriately. You will really like the person you become on the other side!

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Dear Leo, 

Your season has come to an end but you're still the star of your story. Keep going for what you want. Your friends may complain that they see you less this month, but don’t stress it too much, show up when you’re feeling present and let them know when you’ve got to take time for yourself to avoid any hurt feelings due to mercury retrograde related misunderstandings. 

Libra season starts at the end of the month helping you to bring balance to your social, and romantic endeavors.

Leo 2022 Overview

Your Tarot Card: Ace of Swords

Sweet Lions! This is a delicious moonth for you. Follow your heart and your feet and allow adventure to be what defines your choices at this time. This card is a blessing on the start of new projects and big moves including job changes or possibly change of residence. Go for it with gusto and enjoy the ride!

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Happy Birthday Virgo!

Dear Virgo, 

Even if you’re feeling low key for your birthday this year-try to do something that feels nourishing for yourself. You deserve it.

You are knee deep in your season now and you’re starting to notice the tide is shifting in your life. What was once a tidal wave headed straight at you is now just the tide on its way back out to sea. Venus moves into your sign early in the month making your perfectionist side come out.

But beware mercury retrograde causing you to get wrapped up in overthinking about how to heal the past. 

When fall starts your romantic and relationship sectors fall into harmony and you’ll be ready to shake off past arguments and focus on building intimacy in the present tense with your friends, family, or a romantic partner.

Virgo 2022 Overview 

Your Tarot Card: Six of Pentacles

This is your moonth Virgo! You are in your place of greatest strength and comfort right now. Allow yourself to take in the medicine of being grounded and share it with your people. The world needs more people who can be calm and centered so that we all can feel what that frequency feels like in the body. Share your medicine and let your communities taste how grounded you truly are!

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Happy Birthday Libra!

Dear Libra, 

Your season starts this month prompting you to envision a new public image for yourself. Try out new lewks, new clothes, and new habits. It’s your birthday after all and you’ll want to look and feel beautiful. 

During the second weekend of the month you want to lay low as mercury retrograde might lead to unnecessary arguments. (This is not a good time to text your ex.)

At the end of the month brings a tidal wave of romantic interest your way as the Sun, Venus, and the new moon all align in your sign. Be careful not to let your boundaries get swept away by all the attention! 

Libra’s tend to be intimidated by deep talks and intimacy but regardless, potential partners will be spilling their hearts to you this month. Use this as an opportunity to practice reflection and vulnerability.

Libra 2022 Overview

Your Tarot Card: Strength

Heady Libra, the Equinoxes are always a time of expansion and agitation for you. This card reminds you that strength comes from your ability to be in discomfort and find your center of balance within rather than depending on our external circumstances or other people to give us the density our area personalities desire. You already have everything you need within you! Even if things feel topsy-turvy you have the flexibility to make things right within.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Dear Scorpio,

You are unlearning unhealthy habits this month, thanks to the Uranus retrograde and Virgo the healer, taking center stage. Just beware that mercury retrograde may try to pull you back into old thought patterns and behaviors. 

Career, love and intimacy look good for you this month, but you might have to wait to see the fruits of your labor. 

Once Libra season starts on the 22nd you’ll be striking a new balance in your social life, alone time, and your romantic relationships.
Scorpio 2022 Overview

Your Tarot Card: Page of Cups

Scorpio- this moonth is defined by a need for some solitude and space to feel your feelings. If you desire some alone time, don’t be afraid to take it! Even though others may desire your company and there may be lots of invitations, this time before the Equinox is important for you to give some thought to what your next cycle will be like. You cannot have enough time in nature this moonth.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Dear Sagittarius,

In proper back to school style your schedule is full this month. But make time to see friends and family so that you are feeling seen and supported. 

You’re feeling passionate about something this month and you’ve got the drive to push for it. But thanks to the Mercury retrograde it might take a while for others to notice your hard work. Practice patience and enjoy the journey. 

At the end of the month there is an opportunity for luck and wish granting. Ask for that raise, ask that person out, or treat yourself to that thing you want.

Sagittarius 2022 Overview

Your Tarot Card: King of Cups

Sag! This moonth asks you to share your feelings with those around you and get really honest. You often tend to keep your feelings bottled up for fear of not belonging or not being well received. But this is a time or your truest thoughts will be well received. Take advantage and get some of those old resentments off your chest!

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Dear Capricorn,

Fall is a good season for you. 

Although Mercury retrograde may throw a wrench into your carefully made plans. Still, you can’t hit the pause button on life for small stuff like that.

So, if your romance or career feels like it’s in full bloom, don’t let a few miscommunications get in the way of your dream romance. If you’re ready to take it to the next level then do it. All you have to do is be honest about how you feel and ask for what you want and wait to see what happens.

If you’re single, then it’s a great time to make a list of your green and red flags for a future relationship.

Capricorn 2022 Overview

Your Tarot Card: Five of Wands

Capricorn, this moonth can feel messy for you and lead you to being stuck in your head. Just remember that after every mess comes greater order and organization once the process is complete the Equinox times are simply messy times of transition and things may not go as smoothly as you prefer but it is okay. After this things will begin to settle into the new seasonal rhythm and you will find your feet once more. Try to stay in your body as much as possible and don’t be too hard on yourself if you can’t make those self-imposed deadlines happen.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Dear Aquarius, 

You’ve got a lot to say, but all those thoughts and feelings don’t always do a good job of making their way out of your mouth. And mercury retrograde this month might make it even worse. It might seem like that means it’s a good time to not answer any texts…but the reality is that you need your friends and you need support and you’re not going to get it by doomscrolling yourself into oblivion while ignoring all your messages.

Put in the extra effort this month and see what happens. It might be some work, but having a loving support system is worth it.

Aquarius 2022 Overview

Your Tarot Card: The Sun

Oh Aquarius. This moonth is a call to really focus on relationships, particularly your most intimate ones. It is time to shine light on where respect is and is not. Are you really seeing others or are you blinded by self defense? Are your boundaries clear within? How do you want your relationships to feel? Get curious…

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Dear Pisces, 

This month your love and romance sectors are alight with rose colored glasses. But mercury in retrograde and the full moon in your sign this month might cause a bit of drama too. So it might not be the best time to make any big decisions about the future just yet. Spend some time this month just focusing on what makes you happy and what brings you joy.

Save the big conversations for next month.

Pisces 2022 Overview

Your Tarot Card: Page of Swords

Watery Pisces… this moonth may be a bit uncomfortable for you. The invitation is for you to ignite some fire and really take some ownership in your life experience. Do you know where your edges are? Is it time to enforce a boundary that you have been feeling big feelings about but not actually stating out loud? When we get to embroiled in our home element we can become off-balance and lose our feet. This is a time for you to embrace your opposing element of fire and find where your power lives in your body. While it may be uncomfortable you will be so very glad you did!

August 2022 Horoscopes: Processing inputs and building practical systems

Read our horoscopes to discover what the stars and the tarot cards have in store for your sign this August.

Hello dear ones,

The month kicks off with Leo season in full swing, with just a bit of planetary turbulence due to Mars and Uranus meeting up in the North Node of Destiny on July 31st-1st. And then Mars squares off with Saturn on August 7th, bringing out some seriously big ‘NO’s. Wildcard energy prevails so choose your battles carefully, and save that energy for your passion pursuits. 

Mercury enters overly honest Virgo August 3rd, making communications direct, witty, detailed, but also a bit harsh. It’s a good time for tough honest conversations. But just be careful that your criticisms are coming across as constructive. If in doubt, try the compliment sandwich technique. 

The Full Moon in rebellious Aquarius on August 11th, is a great time to achieve breakthroughs with out-of-the-box thinking. On the same day Venus enters Leo, increasing your desire to to be admired, shower and for loyal connections. Making the 11th a great time to set intentions to innovate in your love life and maybe even buy some new toys for the bedroom. 

Mars enters Gemini on the 20th, boosting your enthusiasm and motivation just in time for Virgo season to begin on the 22nd. Once Virgo takes over the skies you’ll be entering a process of refining your structures and systems to maximize your routine and set yourself up for success through self-discipline and foundation building. 

Mercury enters Libra on the 25th, bringing balance to conversations by finding fair solutions. 

Uranus begins its five month retrograde in Taurus on the 24th and stubborn Taurus won’t make a move until it’s 100% ready. So, try to go easy on yourself if things aren’t progressing as fast as you had imagined. Just because you think things should be one way, doesn’t make it true. Sometimes you have to truly feel the change you're making in your body before you can move forward. 

The New Moon in Virgo on the 27th let’s honesty, logic and practicality be the gateway to breakthroughs in regards to routine, and career. Get the moon cycle off to a good start by setting the intention to accomplish some short-term goals that will boost your energy and your mood when you accomplish them. 

What’s in retrograde this month:

Jupiter goes retrograde in Aries on July 28th. Take calculated risks.

Saturn is retrograde in Aquarius until late October causing culture conflicts and making you rethink, rework, and revise our long term commitments and goals. Saturn is the planet of ego, karma, justice and career. Those who are seeking to balance the world’s karmic scales and socially progressive ideals like gender equality, LGBTQ+ acceptance, healthcare reform, and education reform will continue to be challenged by old guard ideals of religious zealously, infatuation with tradition and political fanaticism during this transit. 

Pluto is still retrograde in Capricorn until October 28th, activating our karma around money, ambition, power, boundaries, limits, and abuse of power on a global scale and leading to the new generations' societal disillusionment.

Neptune is retrograde in Pisces. Neptune will have humanity reflecting on our hopes, dreams, ideals, and aspirations on a global level until December 3rd. Fortunately, unlike some planets (cough, I’m looking at you Mercury, cough) in retrograde Neptune has a certain subtlety to it, especially while in its home sign of Pisces.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Firey Aries, 

Lean into the second half of Leo season by following your passion pursuits. Your passions are clues that point you towards success.

This month starts off with a reality check and wildcard energy that could sweep you in any direction. But this is but a fleeting moment this month. 

But it could be made worse by Mercury’s entrance into Virgo on the 4th, making you a bit more direct in communicating your analysis of things. This plot point peaks during the full moon in Aquarius and Venus in Leo on the 11th. Speak up, but go easy.

Your ruling planet dynamic Mars moves out of material girl Taurus and into gossip girl Gemini on the 20th, bringing your attention to your friend group. If someone isn’t vibing, now's the time to say goodbye.  

Once Virgo season begins on the 22nd you’ll be in full swing in terms of productivity and enriching your life with routines that support your goals and your wellbeing.

Taurus 2022 Overview

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Curious Gemini,

Your mindset has been that of summer beach living recently. Summer has been a time of rest and relaxation and skating by with the bare minimum and you’ll have to get honest about that when your ruling planet Mercury enters into self-disciplined Virgo on the 4th. Great! You’ve been needing some time to recharge so make the most of your rest time!

You’ll still be taking it easy by the time the onset of Virgo season being on the 22nd. Luckily Virgo will bring you a much needed boost of motivation and drive to tackle creating routines and systems that work for you both at home and at work.

When Mercury moves into Libra on the 25th, you’ll be ready to bring forward fair solutions to the tough conversations surrounding details in securing your business's or career’s future that happen early on in the month. 

If Virgo season hasn’t kicked your butt into gear yet then you’ll have another chance on the new moon in Virgo on the 27th.

You’ll also get a chance to reflect on how your current routine is working (or not working) out for you when Uranus goes retrograde at the end of the month.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Caring Cancer,

Leo season is here and that means you’re coming out of your protective shell to dip your toes into more social and creative waters, heck, maybe you’ll even go cannonball in! Reconnect with friends and family this month. Remember, life keeps on moving always so be sure to appreciate everything that comes your way- the good and the bad. 

Your ruling planet the moon waxes full in out-of-the-box Aquarius on the 11th. You might feel tempted to try something daring with your finances, but with a Uranus retrograde so close at hand, you might be better off starting small. Don’t invest more than 25% of your assets in any one place. Use the Virgo energies of the second half of this month to really analyze your goal, just don’t get so lost in the weeds that you forget to actually be productive in action and not just in your head. 

The new moon in Virgo on the 27th, gives you an opportunity to assess how the investments you made earlier in the month are going and set intentions to complete some short term goals moving forward.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Happy Birthday Admirable Leo!

The month starts off a bit rocky, but don’t worry it’s just some cosmic turbulence bringing a bit of spice to your otherwise smooth sailing hot girl summer. And you are the hot girl everyone has been waiting for to get this party started. You’ll enjoy enhanced creativity, social charisma, and self-admiration all month long Leo. 

Things may slow down financially on the 11th when loving Venus moves into your sign and the moon waxes full in Aquarius. You may be thinking about planning to leave your job and pivot to a new career, and now is a good time to set some intentions and plan your next move. Just be sure you take a break from focusing on work to also enjoy Venus in your sign, because this brings an opportunity for sex and romance that is as hawt as you are. 

Let the Virgo in Mercury vibes that permeate the first half of this month help you get clarity on your relationships and your career. As things might take a big turn for you towards the end of the month with the possibility for changes in both your career and your relationships. Be generous, be kind, give of your time and money. When you answer the call to help others you become truly alive.

Leo 2022 Overview

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Happy Birthday vibrant Virgo!

This month starts off a bit rocky. Find your zen by meditating with your favorite crystals, plant allies, or pets. 

The month starts off with your ruling planet, the divine messenger Mercury, coming home to rest its feet and commune in your sign. Be sure to analyze the input you're receiving and get some R&R in the first week of this month to offset any turbulence you’ve experienced recently.. Remember, Leo is handing off the torch to you on the 22nd and you are gearing up to take it. 

The full moon in Aquarius on the 11th is a great time to reframe difficulties and pain as lessons learned, and get clarity on what you want possibilities for your path resonate with you on a cellular level.

Virgo 2022 Overview 

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Fair Libra,

The month starts off a bit stress heavy. Be sure you’re reading the fine print in those contracts.

Leo season brings you new friends, and social networks that need your guidance this month sweet Libra. But when Mercury moves into Virgo on the 4th, it might be time to weigh the scales to make sure you’re being a good support system for yourself as well as others. When your ruling planet, loving Venus enters Leo on the 11th and the moon waxes full in Aquarius it will be time to cut out toxic people who don’t give you the adoration you need, and set intentions for what you want from your career and your relationships in the future.

Virgo season starts on the 22nd, and your thoughts start coming a mile a minute as you start focusing on manifesting the life that resonates with you on a molecular level. 

Mercury enters your sign on the 25th, prompting some reflection on whether you need to spend more time planning for your future.

During the new moon in Virgo on the 27th, you’ll be feeling revitalized and prepared to accomplish your next goal.

Death

Oh my Libra brethren; this moonth is super potent for us! We are visited with the powerful card of death. This card, card number 13, is my most favorite. It represents a time of rebirth and utter transformation. These times can feel awkward if we resist them – so the invitation is for you to open your arms and surrender to the process of change. When we simply allow what is to be, things find their way back into place much faster. You will be a completely new person by September!

Libra 2022 Overview

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Reflective Scorpio,

The month starts off with some weight being piled on in the form of relationship obstacles. You might be healing from your ex, or becoming aware of imbalances and growing pains in current long-term relationships, friendships and familial connections. One way to reframe difficulties is to see them as opportunities to learn your lesson and then teach others about what you need. You’ll feel a lot better when you finally release some of the mental clutter that’s taking up space in your mind right now. 

When Venus moves into Leo and the moon waxes full in Aquarius on the 11th you’ll be feeling a lot more flexible and empathetic, but still firm in your desire to be admired, making you more likely to hold your boundaries while also aiming to work it out. Later in the month your ruling planet, driven Mars in Gemini might bring up some tension around anything that still doesn’t feel resolved on the 20th. 

Virgo season begins on the 22nd, upping the rate at which you analyze the energy inputs and outputs in your life both financially and in love. Your thoughts might be racing at times, so try to calm it all down using strategy, planning, and meditation. 

However Uranus retrograde in Taurus on the 24th will be a great time to settle in to reflect on what things make you feel connected and happy in your relationships. 

During the new moon in Virgo on the 27th, it will  be a good time to set intentions to break bad habits and be more assertive.

Deep Scorpio - this moonth ushers in a time for you to analyze your boundaries and to take stock of your finances. Have you been indulgent fiscally? Have you been giving away your time and your attention in ways that are now causing you to feel resentful?  This moonth is all about cleaning up these loose ends and finding solid ground once again. It will benefit you so much in 2023 if you do this work now!

Scorpio 2022 Overview

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Free spirited Sagittarius, 

It’s still Leo season my fiery friend, which means now is a great time to show yourself some love by taking some time away to just be with the people, places, and things that relax you, that bring you joy and make you feel admired. Crossing some physical horizons will revitalize your spirit. 

The divine messenger Mercury moves into Virgo on the 4th and your thoughts might be coming a mile a minute, making it a good time to clear out any clutter that’s clogging up your thought processes.

Set an intention to shake up your work routine and your social circle when the moon waxes full in Aquarius on the 11th. It’s time to let superficial relationships go and use outside of the box thinking to focus on creating innovative systems in your life that make work and life a breeze. 

Work season hits on the 22nd as the sun moves into analytical and focused Virgo. It’s a good time to start taking those first steps towards your bigger financial and career goals. 

Around the Virgo new moon on the 27th you’ll have more clarity on who you want around you, and who you need to step away from for a while. Breakups can be one of the more difficult and painful symptoms of personal evolution, so make time to be alone and recenter.

Page of Cups

Sweet Sag, this moonth is one full of feelings for you my friends. This card invites us to take time and be alone with our feelings. It is challenging to know our truth if we are always surrounded by the influence of others. Take some time in August to be by yourself, preferably in nature, and let your feelings flow. This will help to harness your element of fire and allow you to use it in service rather than anger.

Sagittarius 2022 Overview

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Diligent Capricorn,

This month starts off with wildcard energy but the month overall could lead to some creative breakthroughs for you. Use the second half of Leo season to relax, drink some ginger tea, go on vacation and embrace the unexpected.

Mercury moves into fastidious and earthy Virgo on the 4th, prompting clarity and directness in both your internal and external communications. It also makes it a great time to start contemplating systems in your life, especially those related to learning and education. Take a deep dive into studying the subjects that resonate with you on a cellular level. 

When Venus moves into Leo and the full moon in Aquarius on the 11th brings an opportunity to think outside the box and connect with your inner child as a way of healing old pains. Paint. Dance. Sing. Play the ukulele. Let creativity and ideas flow without judgment. (You may be pulled to teach others how to use this technique to free themselves during the five month Uranus retrograde in Taurus that begins on the 24th and the new moon in Virgo on the 27th.)

You’ll be in the full swing of things once Virgo season begins on the 22nd, reigniting your motivation and productivity sectors. Show some self care by accepting offers of support from others, especially if it comes in the form of financial aid.

Oh Capricorn! What a moonth for you! This is a time for you to truly luxuriate and offer yourself a rich and rewarding experience. When was the last time you took a vacation? Often hard-working Capricorn find themselves so involved in projects and people that they forget to weave in times of other relaxation. This card is your permission slip – it is time for a vacation!

Capricorn 2022 Overview

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Trend setting Aquarius,

The month may get off to a turbulent start that may have you wanting to hermit it up. Mercury moves into overly honest Virgo on the 4th, making communications direct, but also doubling your processing speed.

However when Venus moves into Leo and the moon waxes full in your sign on the 11th relationships will take center stage for you. This is a great time to show appreciation for the relationships in your life, and use art or sex therapy or other out of the box methods of self-expression to heal anything that’s preventing you from connecting authentically with others. Let go of the heavy weight of doubts and fears you’re carrying and you’ll feel lighter for it. 

Virgo season begins on the 22nd, bringing out your inner analyst, allowing you to process any leftover baggage from interpersonal conflicts that may happen earlier in the month. Avoid overthinking by instead leaning into decisiveness and building external and internal systems that make your life more efficient and enjoyable. 

The new moon in Virgo brings a reminder of what you’re fighting for, making it a good time to test your strength. Remember that standing up for yourself is a vital part of building trust in your sense of self. When you stand up for things that resonate with your sense of what wellbeing looks like for the world and for yourself  you’ll find you have all the strength and energy you need.

Gentle Aquarians, this moonth is a major invitation into being decisive and taking charge of the direction of your life. This card is your sign post that you have been considering your options for long enough. Now is the time to make that decision. Is it time to take the leap? Is it time to end the relationship? What is the big choice you have been pondering for far too long? This is the time to finally choose and begin the first step on your new path.

Aquarius 2022 Overview

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Peace making Pisces, 

This month your focus is on refamiliarizing yourself with you, your goals, and what resonates with you on a cellular level. Take a breather from the hustle and bustle and get the solitude and rest you need to reconnect with you.

The divine messenger, Mercury moves into self-care and health oriented Virgo on the 4th, upping your awareness of how systems in your life are impacting your mental and physical health. Use this information to make sure you’re getting what you need.

When Venus moves into Leo and the moon waxes full in Aquarius on the 11th you will be drawn to channeling your subconscious perhaps through artistic or sexual means of expression that can help you achieve emotional breakthroughs. 

There is a part of you that is drawn to transformation during this time, and once Virgo season begins on the 22nd your motivation to produce results for yourself will increase. Around the new moon in Virgo, you may also be called upon to share the wisdom you gained around the full moon with your family of friends.

Sweet watery Pisces; this card tells me that you are coming to the completion of a cycle. It is now possible for you to let go of any old stories in which you are blaming others for the way your life has turned out this far. The energies are aligning for you to step into a new level of empowerment in your own life. Can you forgive that person who hurt you so long ago? Can you open up to offering yourself the parenting that you so desperately needed? The time is ripe for deep healing for you… the kind of healing that makes everything feel brighter!

July 2022 Horoscopes: Transitions at Home and in Social Life

Read our horoscopes to discover what the stars and the tarot cards have in store for your sign this July.

Hello dear ones,

Sorry for the wait on this month's horoscopes! I moved to a new house this weekend. And boy howdy did that transition take a lot of time and energy. So. Many. Stairs. OMG. 

But I hope you’ll forgive my lateness because better late than never right?

In any case July is here and it’s full of transitions for everyone, so hold on tight.

There’s a certain tension in the air during this time of year, due to conflicting Cancer and Leo energies. We may feel torn between hibernating, home making, and emerging from our shells this month. The key is balance and listening to yourself. You might not want to go to that big pool party, but you might enjoy having some friends over for iced tea and a showing of Lilo and Stitch.

On July 5th, chatty Mercury enters protective Cancer causing you to pause and assess situations for emotional safety before speaking your mind. 

Also on July 5th, we have a big energy shift occur in our lives when motivated Mars exists impulsive Aries and moves into committed Taurus. Mars in earthy Taurus causes the pace of life to slow down for a while and gives you time to take a more deliberate, laid back and sensory approach to life. 

The Capricorn full moon on July 13th has us manifesting and embracing our adulting power and our ability to achieve. Capricorn is a very career and achievement oriented sign, making the full moon a great time to set career goals and ask for what you want from yourself. 
Venus enters Cancer on the 17th bringing tenderness to our feelings and an increase in protective feelings when it comes to our homes and loved ones.

Then Mercury moves into creative Leo on the 19th, increasing confidence and making you more assertive and direct in your communications. 

Leo season begins July 22nd when the sun moves into the sign of leadership and public appearance, making it a great time to reignite your confidence and trust in yourself and honor your talents.

The new moon in Leo on July 28th will bring an opportunity to set new intentions around your life trajectory and expand your horizons to new awesome possibilities. 

Things are getting a bit shaken up on July 31st! Time to think outside the box as rebellious and revolutionary Uranus aligns with the North Node of Destiny, pushing us to lean into individuality,  be free, and independent. Don’t be surprised if certain plots in your life seem to reach a cliffhanger around this time. 

Also keep in mind that 2022 is a “6” year in numerology. Meaning this is the year of aligning ourselves to find balance, home, health, karma, love, success, and service. A “6” year has the energy of instilling discipline, boundaries, and humanitarianism

What’s in retrograde this month:

Jupiter goes retrograde in Aries on July 28th. Take calculated risks.

Saturn is retrograde in Aquarius until late October causing culture conflicts and making you rethink, rework, and revise our long term commitments and goals. Saturn is the planet of ego, karma, justice and career. Those who are seeking to balance the world’s karmic scales and socially progressive ideals like gender equality, LGBTQ+ acceptance, healthcare reform, and education reform will continue to be challenged by old guard ideals of religious zealously, infatuation with tradition and political fanaticism during this transit. 

Pluto is still retrograde in Capricorn until October 28th, activating our karma around money, ambition, power, boundaries, limits, and abuse of power on a global scale and leading to the new generations' societal disillusionment.

Neptune is retrograde in Pisces. Meaning Neptune will have humanity reflecting on our hopes, dreams, ideals, and aspirations on a global level until December 3rd. Fortunately, unlike some planets (cough, I’m looking at you Mercury, cough) in retrograde Neptune has a certain subtlety to it, especially while in its home sign of Pisces. It is a time when the state of your inner world is revealed to you. This will be a deeply introspective time that lends itself to globally shifting spiritual ideologies, deepening intuition, dream manifestation, dissolving, and immersion in our thoughts and feelings. 

Neptune RX advice: 

Do: Connect with your spirit and embrace the positive energies that surround you.

Don’t: Disassociate until you don’t know what’s real. Run away. Fall into nostalgia traps.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Blessed Aries, 

This is a money month for you. 

When Mercury and Mars align on the 5th it will be a good time to make a budget you can stick to. 

Your ruling planet Mars moves out of your sign and into materialistic Taurus on July 5th, causing heightening your desire to engage in a little retail therapy. Treat yourself to something you really want if that’s what you need. But keep an eye on your bank account and conserve your resources if you can. Your ruling sign being in Taurus may make July feel like it goes by a bit slowly. 

The month starts off with the sun in homebody Cancer, but picks up a bit with the full moon in Capricorn brings a breakthrough and a revelation. Once Leo season begins on the 22nd, you’ll be feeling fiercely fire. 

Leo season coincides with a new moon in Leo making it a great time for setting intentions for romance. But new romances might be rocky during the second half of the month as communication becomes more direct and a little less nuanced. 

Know that the mother goddess and Queen Juno, is in Pisces, supporting you in openly expressing adoration and love until 2023. Also know that she will force you to face your delusions and learn the difference between dreams, illusions, projections, and reality.

Aries 2022 Overview

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Sensational Taurus, 

You’re headed for some major character development this month. 

It’s time to shake free of your shackles, dance and take a step in a new direction.. Embrace endings so that you can make space in your life for something new.

The Sun in Leo and Mars in your sign are upping your energy this month, allowing you to take a leap of faith and hit the ground running. It’s time to dust off the hobbies, goals, and projects you put down while you’ve been dealing with an interpersonal conflict that’s gone on since the Taurus-Scoripo eclipses. 

When Mars enters your sign on the 5th you’ll finally have the energy you’ve been looking for to cathartically confront and release an interpersonal conflict you’ve been dealing with since the Taurus-Scorpio eclipses began. Know that this may be a long process but that you should be through it and arrive at a complete resolution by the time mid-August rolls around. Sure, it might not be easy for you to give up on something you’ve invested so much time and energy into but instead of being stubborn about that, why not be stubborn about knowing your own worth and what you need. Lean into treating yourself to your favorite boba tea. 

That’s right, what I’m saying is if you’ve already tried everything and the same power and energy imbalances are still present in your relationship it’s way past time to BREAK UP WITH THEM FOR GOOD. You deserve to be supported in pursuing your dreams.

During the Leo full moon on the 13th it will be time to book your next vacation, move to a new house, or take on a new spiritual study. 

Your ruling planet Venus moves out of your sign and into protective Cancer on the 17th, causing you to lean into caring for your home, gardening, and inviting others to come hang out in your space. Use the Leo new moon on the 22nd to set intentions for your home, family and privacy. 

Uranus aligned in the North Node of Destiny on the 30th will likely be a cliffhanger. Hold on, even if it’s just by your fingertips. Even if you don’t know what’s next for you yet, the answers will come. Use your bull-ish self-discipline and love for routine to create stability for yourself in the face of uncertainty.

Taurus 2022 Overview

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Charismatic Gemini,

Your ruling planet, communicative Mercury, is finally moving at full speed again, giving you increased energy, improving your mental processes, and upping your strategy game. It’s time to make some strategic moves. 

During the full moon in Capricorn on the 13th it will be time to release your fears around debts and losses and embrace the space they’ve made in your life for new sources of income to flow in. 

Mercury moves into Cancer on the 5th bringing with it a longing for security, an increased protectiveness of the way you express your most vulnerable parts, and increased strategy implementation around  money.

Then Mercury moves into Leo on the 19th, unleashing your social nature and your creativity from its bonds. Communications become direct and streamlined during this time as you are set free from self-doubt. Leo season begins on the 22nd making it time to move on your feelings. Your relationships have been on a fast-track for greatness but this month and this new confidence in yourself makes it a great time to slow things down and mull over your next steps. If it’s a new romance you’re in then it might be time to communicate about whether you are ready to take next steps of committment or move to greener pastures. 

The new moon in Leo on the 28th will be a great time to lean into your new-found confidence to clarify your boundaries.

This moonth is inviting Gemini into the luxury of feeling grounded. This is not a moonth to be extravagant but rather to find the wealth and abundance of gratitude for what you already have. Invest in adoring what you have created and enjoy it to the fullest. This is not a moonth of expansion for you but rather one of simple pleasures.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Happy Birthday Powerful Cancer!

This month you’re leaning into confidence thanks to the Sun, Mercury, and Venus in your sign this month. Know that your sensitivity is a super power and that you are awesome regardless of what other people think.

The full moon in Capricorn on the 13th is a good time to use that confidence to chart the next phase of your career, relationships and partnerships. Are you ready to commit or is it time to split? Take careful note of your partner’s energy. Are they matching you? If not, check in with yourself and ask if you are doing that thing where you give more than you have to give and then resent the people you love for not giving that energy back? Ask for what you need. 

Venus moves into your sign on the 17th, boosting your inner glow and getting you noticed by potential suitors.

The new moon in Leo on the 28th and Uranus in Taurus meeting up with the North Node of Destiny on the 31st bring an end to friendships and habits that no longer serve you. Let go of interpersonal conflicts that can’t be resolved and free yourself by realizing that you are worthy of walking your own path exactly the way you want to walk it. It’s also probably a good idea to work on your bank accounts and get your financial plans in order.

Cancer 2022 Overview

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Happy Birthday Radiant Leo!

This month you are torn between a desire to relax and rejuvenate and move forward with your goals. Mars moves into Taurus on the 5th, slowing down the pace of your public life, this coupled with the Sun in Cancer until the 22nd has you feeling a bit impatient for your season to start so you can finally make the leaps and bounds you want to in regards to your reputation, career, and social life. 

The full moon in ambitious Capricorn on the 13th only exacerbates this conflict. You may simultaneously feel too busy and not busy enough. Career is a big theme of this month for you. This tension however, can be a great teacher and can help you evaluate what it is you really value in terms of personal development, self-discipline, your health, fitness, and your career. Instead of being bored during this time, use it to let go of uninspiring habits.

On the 17th, Venus moves into Cancer, making it a good time to do something romantic. Go on a weekend vacation with your lover now and it may help ease tensions that may arise later in the month.

Once Leo season begins on the 22nd, the pace of life will keep picking up for you until fall. So use the new moon in your sign on the 28th to set new intentions about your self-image, who you want to be, and your self care routines to prevent burn out. 

On the 31st Uranus in Taurus lines up with the North Node of Destiny unveiling a new direction for businesses and brands. Expect the unexpected.

Leo 2022 Overview

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Analytic Virgo,

You’ve been feeling a bit frozen in time recently, anxiety and overthinking have kept you from moving forward. Instead of stressing about where you’re at in life right now, try to recognize the gift of knowing what you don’t want and you’ll start to recognize that the freeze was a necessary part of your self-protective process in moving forward. When your ruling planet Mercury enters Cancer on the 5th, you’ll be ready to communicate openly with the people who know how to hold space for you. 

The full moon in earthy Capricorn on the 13th will be a good chance to reconnect in your relationships. Expect breakthroughs in dating, sex, creativity, and  And by the 16th, when Mercury aligns with the Sun, you’ll be ready to identify the individuals you want to include on your team moving forward. The sun in Leo, and Jupiter and Venus placements this month mean opportunities to make money come from your friends and your social network this month. So you might even be open to expanding your circle to welcome friends, acquaintances, and like minded individuals into a new business venture. 

Once Leo season begins on the 22nd you’ll be entering into a time of rest before your birthday and personal new year begin. So make sure to connect and communicate with your chosen team before you fall off the map for a bit. During the new moon in Leo on the 28th, take the time you need to get in touch with you, reflect on the year past, and set intentions to rest before the year ahead.

Virgo 2022 Overview 

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Justice-minded Libra,

You are out front and center this month. Step out of your comfort zone. 

 July 5th will be a good time to ask for a raise, raise your prices, and in all other ways make sure you’re getting what you need from your work. The Sun, Mercury, and your ruling planet Venus are teaming up this month to bring you an influx of leadership, career, and public image opportunities this month. This tidal wave of power can be a lot to handle. So keep your communications simple, refined, and efficient.Remember to breathe and to show appreciation for those that support you and celebrate your success.

The full moon in Capricorn on the 13th stirs up an interpersonal conflict and family drama this month. Responsibility may feel like a double edged sword, but it is also an important balancing factor that keeps power dynamics healthy. While you might resent it sometimes, know that you can also be grateful to responsibilities for how they keep you honest and true to your values. Some are coming to an end this month, but you’re not starting from scratch, build on your known desires. Set clear boundaries and take control by saying “no” to that which doesn’t sit well with you.

When Leo season begins on the 22nd, an increase of activity in your public sphere or socializing and networking will help distract you from more painful personal issues. The new moon in Leo on the 28th will be a good time to set intentions on who you are attracting into your personal social life and business circles. When Uranus in Taurus meets up with the North Node of Destiny on the 31st you’ll be reaping the rewards of your hard work this month.

Libra 2022 Overview

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Strong Scorpio,

This month you're living a choose-your-own-adventure book. There’s a lot of planetary activity that may push you to escape old patterns, or cause you to fall back into it. It all depends on how plotlines that arose around the Scorpio-Taurus eclipse season have unfolded for you.

Your ruling planet Mars moves into committed but bull-headed Taurus on the 5th causing some overthinking and passive aggression to surface in your relationships. Are you giving more than you can give and then building up resentments when your own goals feel neglected? Ask for what you need and know that not getting what you need is a good enough reason to walk away from people, habits, and places that no longer serve you. The full moon in Capricorn on the 13th is a great chance to reconnect with people you trust to advise you on relationships and business. It might even be a good time to start talking about opening up a new business with a bestie. 

You could let all the relationship tension of this month build into a big showdown on the 31st when Uranus in Taurus meets up with the North Node of Destiny…or you could opt out of the drama and focus on honest communication, and have some major breakthroughs in your identity this month, it’s really up to you.

Mercury and Venus are in your travel, education, and spirituality house this month. So there is a potential to have some serious breakthroughs in friendships and travel. Leo Season on the 22nd followed by the new moon in Leo on the 28th reignites your creative fire and reminds you of what you want for your social life, public image and career.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Freedom loving Sagittarius, 

This month is full of the sex, dates, entertaining, and social activity you’ve been working on manifesting into your life. That’s a lot of exciting activity! The full moon in achievement focused Capricorn on the 13th manifests money and resources for you. It’s a good time to set intentions about striking a balance between spontaneous fun and structured routine to make sure you stay grounded. A new romance is starting to turn into a regular touchpoint in your life so it will be good to get a few things straight now while you’ve got the chance. 

Venus enters your house of shared resources on the 17th. Unexpected financial gifts may come your way!

Your ruling planet Jupiter goes retrograde in Aries on the 28th, bringing a time of reflection on the big picture of how you connect with others, and how your relationships at home and at work. Are you feeding them or are you being fed? It has to be both for it to be sustainable.

Sagittarius 2022 Overview

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Ambitious Capricorn,

There are lots of opportunities for breakthroughs in romance and finances this month!

This month the Sun, Mercury and Venus are hanging out in your house of shared resources this month, meaning once-new romances might be getting a bit more serious or solidified. If you’ve been seeing someone it could be that you’re taking the leap to move in together, or opening a joint bank account this month. 

The full moon in your sign on the 13th is a good time to check in with your finances, business and anyone else you might be sharing finances with. It’s a good time to assess whether you’re better off with or without having shared resources. Make sure your needs are being met. If they aren’t, being transparent about it is the best option.

Your ruling planet, sky-God Jupiter, is slowing down this month before it finally goes retrograde in Aries on the 28th, causing you to turn inward and reflect on the big picture in regards to your partnerships, friendships, and relationships. Patterns will surface. What’s worked for you and what hasn’t will become clear and help you figure out what you do and don’t want in your relationship dynamics. 

The new moon in Leo co-occurs on the 28th as well, making it a good time to set intentions for your public image, travel, study, and spirituality. Making it a good time to  take a vacation getaway with a lover or a friend. 

When Uranus in Taurus lines up with the North Node of Destiny this month you may find yourself at a climatic point in plotlines that have been unfolding for you around work.

Capricorn! The Empress invites you to begin a relationship with softness and to recognize how powerful being soft and receptive can be. Your usual MO tends to be linear, straightforward and pretty goal oriented. I wonder what might happen this month if instead you let yourself lead with a bit more magnetism? Can you soften your calendar? Create some spaciousness without an agenda? I challenge you to allow a bit of a mystery to guide your life this month and see what happens!

Capricorn 2022 Overview

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Avant-garde Aquarius,

You’re the trend-setter and vibe maker of the zodiac. You go your own way and the world is better for it. 

When Mars enters committed Taurus  on the 5th, shining a light on your home life, it will be time to pick your path, commit to a routine, and attune to your needs. You’ll be busy tending to the daily grind during this time. But the Capricorn full moon on the 13th will be the perfect time for you to take a step back and set an intention to schedule in regular self-care, phone-free relaxation time for yourself. 

You’ll also have a chance to make a little extra money to support your new self care routine this month when Mercury and Jupiter meet up on the 23rd. Someone you know may bring you an offer you can’t refuse. In the meantime, there are plenty of opportunities for making some extra money through online sales or yard sales this month. 

During Leo season your focus shifts to your relationships. Being rested and well resourced will help you to prioritize others' needs during this time of year. The new moon in Leo on the 28th will be a good time to set intentions to connect more deeply with others. You deserve to be witnessed. 

When rebellious Uranus meets up with the North Node of Destiny on the 31st you’ll be craving some freedom. If you don't get joy or a return on investment from your responsibilities then you’ll be inclined to let them go. This is a good time to assess your path and make sure it still fits what you want. If you don’t love it, leave it and fill the empty space with something you value.

Note: Your ruling planet, the disruptive sky-God, Uranus is investigating change and reform to our individual freedoms and our world economy, in the sign of Taurus until 2025.

Aquarius 2022 Overview

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Magic Pisces, 

You’re enjoying yourself this month thanks to the stellium forming in your fellow water sign Cancer. Your work, friendships, sex life and networking sectors are all being lit up by this intensifying transit. You’ll be experiencing so many opportunities for pleasure, romance, and daydreaming that you may discover you are toeing a fine line between fantasy and reality. Mercury is in Cancer from the 5th-19th, bringing an attentive and romantic lover into the equation. 

The full moon in Capricorn on the 13th helps you focus on connection and celebrate a group project you’ve been working on since January. Celebrate your achievement in community and set intentions to manifest social breakthroughs. Gratitude turns what you have into enough. 

When Leo season begins on the 22nd your focus shifts to health, routine, and work. A week later, on the 28th the new moon rises in Leo and Jupiter goes retrograde on the 28th ushering in time for reflection and intention setting in regards to your long-term goals. What do you need? You’ve been enjoying improved finances since March’s Jupiter transit through Aries, but now things are slowing down. Spend some time balancing the financial books this month.

June 2022 Horoscopes: communicating and adjusting to the new normal

We’re still figuring out how to express and communicate our new normal, following the eclipses and Mercury RX madness, so there’s bound to be some growing pains. Still, it’s good to be on the other side of the cosmic storm for a bit. This month we’re tidying up loose ends, finding resolutions, integrating our new identities and getting used to our new normal. Read our horoscopes to find out what the stars and the tarot cards have in store for your sign this month.

Hello dear ones,

Let’s talk about the good news first: We’ve survived the Taurus and Scorpio eclipses and Mercury retrograde is set to end June 2nd!

Mercury’s torturous backstroke finally end, making the second half of Gemini season (which runs from May 21st to June 21st) much more bearable.

That’s right, the miscommunications, reflections on historical traumas, slipping back into old habits and mindsets, misdelivered packages, flat tires, and 2AM ‘You Up?’ texts are finally coming to an end and our social adaptability finally has a chance to shine. 

This retrograde really pushed us outside of our comfort zones and pushed us to rethink, review and revise our lives. 

On the 2nd Mercury enters retroshade (the post retrograde shadow period) until June 18th. Retroshade is a time finding resolution on any leftover baggage you’re carrying around following the retrograde. Mid-way through retroshade, Mercury enters its home base of Gemini. Take a leaf out of Gemini’s book and wrap up loose ends by talking it out. You’ve got the wit, clarity, and communication skills to do it. 

On the 18th, Mercury goes direct and our focus shifts from looking back to looking forward again. 

Okay, now for the bad news. 

This year has four retrogrades instead of the usual three so instead of having one retrograde left to deal with this year…you’ve got two left…yikes. 

But hang in there my friend, after all, you’re halfway there. 

You’ve come across a break in the waves, so enjoy the sea air and enjoy it before the next big one rolls around.

About the upcoming mercury retrogrades:

Fall Mercury Retrograde

When: September 9th - October 2nd in Libra and VirgoThis retrograde will push us to balance our lives and our communications. 

Winter Mercury Retrograde

When: December 29th - January 18th, 2023 in Capricorn

This retrograde will make us take a look at the big picture. 

While we’ve got a while before the next Mercury RX, there are other retrogrades happening this month that will impact us on a less personal and more global level. 

Saturn retrograde in Aquarius begins June 4th, and continues until late October causing culture conflicts and making us rethink, rework, and revise our long term commitments and goals. Saturn is the planet of ego, karma, justice and career. Those who are seeking to balance the world’s karmic scales and socially progressive ideals like gender equality, LGBTQ+ acceptance, healthcare reform, and education reform will continue to be challenged by old guard ideals of religious zealously, infatuation with tradition and political fanaticism during this transit. 

Also, Pluto is still retrograde in Capricorn until October 28th, activating our karma around money, ambition, power, boundaries, limits, and abuse of power on a global scale and leading to the new generations' societal disillusionment.

On June 28th, Neptune begins its retrograde in Pisces. Meaning Neptune will have us reflecting on our hopes, dreams, ideals, and aspirations on a global level until December 3rd. Fortunately, unlike some planets (cough, I’m looking at you Mercury, cough) in retrograde Neptune has a certain subtlety to it, especially while in its home sign of Pisces. It is a time when the state of your inner world is revealed to you. This will be a deeply introspective time that lends itself to globally shifting spiritual ideologies, deepening intuition, dream manifestation, dissolving, and immersion in our thoughts and feelings. 

Neptune RX advice: 

Do: Connect with your spirit and embrace the positive energies that surround you.
Don’t: Disassociate until you don’t know what’s real. Run away. Fall into nostalgia traps.

Do you know the 3 R’s of surviving retrograde? Remember, Reflect, and Reframe (or Revise).

Okay now let’s get back to the good stuff:

The full moon in Sagittarius on June 14th has us trusting our gut. 

Mars and Venus are in their home signs this month creating a balance of masculine and feminine energies that support us in recentering ourselves as the star of our story and our own best source of love and care. 

Luckily for us, nonbinary Jupiter and masculine Mars are happily frolicking in Aries all month long, making you your own hero, and setting us all firmly at the head of the table in a position of power over our personal lives and boundaries.

Also supporting us this month is feminine Venus, which is cozily luxuriating in Taurus until June 22nd. Venus spends this time reminding us of what actually matters in life, and brings in softness, intuition, stability, beauty, and self love. 

Other important Venus dates this month:

  • Venus meets Uranus on the 11th, bringing change. 

  • Venus meets the moon in the north node, on the 15th elevating our consciousness.

Mars & Venus Do’s and Don’ts

Do: Lean into this energy by learning how to use your love language to show love to yourself. (For example: perform acts of service for yourself, buy yourself gifts, spend quality time with yourself, or provide yourself with affirming touch.)

Don’t: Jealously guard that which you value (whether that’s the last bite of cake, jewels, lovers, books, their thoughts, or their feelings) until you forget how good trust and generosity can feel. (Practice balancing self care with sharing and caring.)

The summer solstice hits June 21st, just as the Sun moves into Cancer, heightening our energy and our emotional endurance. 

Following the solstice, Venus moves into Gemini on the 22nd reminding us of our communication values, lessening our possessiveness, inviting us out into the sunshine to visit our friends, and opening us up to expressing new sides of ourselves through conversation and storytelling.

Cancer energy intensifies during the new moon in Cancer on the 29th, awakening your passionate emotions. Master yourself. Move forward towards your ambitions. Commit to a new path that is in line with your values and your beliefs. 

Crystal of the Month

Moonstones and Pearls are the gems to have on hand this month.

Its receptive energies make it a great stone for strengthening mental clarity and psychic abilities, dreamwork, enhancing intuition, lunar magic, and calling in calming energies. Place moonstone in your garden to attract water. Meditate with moonstone to gain greater self awareness. Or keep it on your person to attract love and heal relationships. 

There are many kinds of moonstone, each of which offers a slightly different energy to the holder, allowing them to fine tune their vibration. Common types of moonstone include: white, peach, rainbow, green, black and blue flash moonstone.

Pearls also come in many colors and shapes. Pearls are lunar gems associated with the third eye chakra, Gemini, Cancer, inner wisdom, the sea of dreams, psychic abilities, stress reduction, loyalty, cooling properties, calming energy, purity, integrity, and protection for women and children during pregnancy.

Astrology is a Tool for Self Reflection

Astrology is a tool we can use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond to what’s happening both internally and externally in the world. It helps us pay attention to our physical and emotional states and opens us up to new ways of navigating our thoughts and actions.

Everything written here is meant to be used as a tool of reflection and self-awareness and not as a hard prediction of the future. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately we each must decide our own path in life.

Aries 2022 Overview

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Sturdy Taurus, 

Whoa, last months eclipses f*cking sucked didn’t they? But they also shifted something fundamental in your identity. 

You’re not sweating the small stuff anymore, and for what feels like the first time in ages, you’re honoring your boundaries putting your needs first. Your patron Goddess Venus is home in your sign all month, making you realize that you instinctively know how to give yourself love and care. 

Also supporting you is the end of Mercury RX on the 2nd, which may help you overcome a cycle of overthinking about what next steps to take in your career. Honor the changes that have taken place and give them form. Write a poem, sing, make music, draw or paint. It’s time to authentically express, vocalize, and sculpt your beautiful new reality. 

On June 11th, Venus meets up with her father Uranus to manifest change in your life. Then the fiery sun moves into watery Cancer on the 21st activating your emotions. Then Neptune, god of the sea goes retrograde June 28th, helping you hone your intuition.

A note for Taurus: You are full of more subtleties than you may realize. You are a fixed earth sign, ruled by the watery goddess of love, who in turn was the daughter of both the sea and sky god Uranus. As a result you are an earth sign that embodies many subtle qualities associated with earth, water, and air. These subtleties are part of the reason you as a Taurus can embody such sensuality, creativity, empathy, and intuition. Embrace your subtly.

Taurus 2022 Overview

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Happy Birthday multifaceted Gemini!

Last month fate threw rogue waves in your direction to test you.This month you’re the Captain of your own ship. 

Do you know the origin story of your sign Gemini? 

Gemini is the result of twins that were born of two fathers. mortal King and the Greek God Zeus. The heroic Castor and Pollux the brother’s of Helen of Troy, and expert horseman and Argonauts. They navigated the seas by the stars. It was said Posiden favored the twins and gave them control of the wind and the waves. However while the two were inseparable, only Pollux was immortal and eventually death befell his mortal twin. Not wishing to be separated from his beloved mortal twin by death, Pollux asked Zeus to allow him to share his immortality with Castor. Zeus obliged by transforming them both into the Gemini constellation. 

On the 13th things start to pick up. Mercury, son of the sky-God Jupiter, will exit retroshade and you’ll be free to travel, speak your mind, and sail the open seas. Mercury is a messenger of the Gods, protector of travelers, God of commerce. Mercury was able to traverse between the spiritual and material world. When Mercury goes fully direct on the 13th it means it’s time to travel, socialize, make a deal, make some money, channel divine messages, and generate some good karma.

The full moon in your fiery ally Sagittarius the next night (June 14th) brings clarity to your heart, soul, and mind. Show gratitude to your shadow and your light by expressing yourself fully and honestly, regardless of who’s watching or what the consequences. Know that this is a vital step in advancing your karma and raising your spiritual vibration. It’s time to come clean and release the baggage of the past. Let go of the idea that things could be any other way. Embrace your reality so that you can move forward in decision making. Take charge of your destiny by following in Pollux’s footsteps and embracing the reality of your dual nature as a mortal and immortal being. The Neptune retrograde which begins June 28th, will support your spiritual and creative evolution.

Gemini 2022 Overview

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Happy Birthday resilient Cancer!

Last month you experienced a taste of divine providence as Black Moon Lilith, which represents feminine power and self-worth, conjugated the Sun and Ceres in your sign, increasing your capacity to express nurturing and supportive energy. 

This month Mercury exits retrograde on the 2nd and goes fully direct on June 13th and goes into retroshade, lessening overthinking, reclusivity, and allowing you to find resolutions related to your career. Once you have the resolution you’re looking for, celebrate with loved ones. 

The very next day, your ruling planet, the moon waxes full in Sagittarius on June 14th. Hidden truths about your body, mind, and spirit surface like long lost treasure. Know that you instinctively know how to protect and nurture yourself. Hold yourself in love and kindness. Lilith is supporting you in this by helping you address your foundations until January 18th, 2023. 

On the summer solstice (June 21st) the sun moves into your sign, activating your inner well of energy. As the weather warms, your patron Goddess Artemis urges you to find peace and spiritual protection in the natural world: get out into nature, go camping, try trail running, and bathe in the forest.

The new moon in your sign on the 29th brings forth a rebirth of emotive creative energies!

Cancer 2022 Overview

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Radiant Leo, 

Last month was all about adjusting boundaries, and taking things one step at a time. 

This month, Mercury retroshade (June 2nd) and the Saturn retrograde in your sister sign Aquarius, (June 4th) have you starting out the month reflecting on possible resolutions to imbalances in your relationships and your public persona/reputation. Need inspiration? Look to your patron God, Apollo, the light bringer. Apollo was known to give aid, ward off evil, prophesize the future, and offer fatherly protection to young ones, fugitives and refugees. What do you want to be known for? 

Supporting you this month is nonbinary Jupiter and masculine Mars in your fellow fire sign Aries. Jupiter and Mars help you focus on taking the initiative, being the hero of your story, boosting your personal power, and holding your boundaries. Focus on the big picture of where you want to go and what you want to do, even if you’re not sure who will be joining you on your journey. Venus in Taurus (until June 22nd) helps to stabilize and ground you in your values throughout this process.

Dos: Public apologies, amends, closure, trust your gut, clear boundaries, sun salutations.
Don’ts: Pity party, thought spirals, overthinking.

On the 13th, Mercury finally goes direct clarifying the message you want to get across. Then, the very next day (June 14th) the full moon in Sagittarius pushes you to trust your gut when it comes to choosing your relationships, communicating your truth, and taking action in your career.

On the summer solstice, (June 21st) your ruling planet, the Sun moves out of the divine messenger, multifaceted Gemini and into Cancer, the protective and emotive ruler of the tides. For you, this shift of the sun into a moon-ruled sign means a lot of the action is happening in the inner realms of spirituality and emotions towards the end of the month and into the first half of July.

Leo 2022 Overview

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Master processor Virgo,

Last month began with sudden shifts and analytical rumination. 

Your ruling planet, the divine messenger Mercury, enters retroshade on June 2nd, giving you time to find resolutions related to any baggage that was dredged up by this past retrograde. Take the big picture approach to figuring out what you want during this time by letting loving Venus in Taurus ground you in your most deeply held values of justice, precision, kindness, and supportiveness.

Mercury finally goes direct on the 13th, and is followed by a full moon in truth seeking Sagittarius the very next night. This pairing will help you gain clarity, and trust your gut as a new phase in your career path begins to take shape.

Supporting you in this endeavor all month long is nonbinary Jupiter and masculine Mars in Aries, helping you center yourself as the hero of your story, boosting your personal power, initiative, and aiding you in holding your boundaries. 

Cancer season arrives on the 21st, (the summer solstice) turning your attention to the ones you let see the softer and emotive sides of you. Then on the 22nd Venus moves into Gemini, opening up your throat chakra in your relationships and helping you to ask for exactly what you need from your relationships and express and manifest the community you want.

Virgo 2022 Overview 

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Beautiful Libra,

Last month you started a new adventure but in a trash fire kind of way.
This month, you’re the fire, and anyone and everything in your way better watch out.

Nonbinary Jupiter and masculine Mars in Aries, support you all month being your own hero, holding your boundaries, and boosting your personal power and initiative. You are a force to be reckoned with in the realms of home and career this month. And while that’s always been the case…now you know it to be true and it makes all the difference.

Also supporting you is your ruling planet, the goddess Venus in Taurus, helping you ground in your values, sexuality and stabilizing you through your metamorphosis. 

The scales really tip for you this month when Venus enters your fellow air sign Gemini on the 22nd and your days of pleasing people are over. Much like Gemini you’ve got two sides to you, and to be honest, you’ve been ignoring that for a while. Historically you’ve let the scales tip towards using your innate charm to secure your reputation, pretending you live always in the sun and denying your shadow. But your mindset is shifting, and putting on a smile when you feel like a frown now feels fake and insincere, enraging your other side and motivating it to take the stage. This other side is innately fair but doesn’t hold with fake displays of charm, humor, kindness or politeness. The new you recognizes that there is genius and efficiency to emotional honesty and cutting straight to the heart of things. 

When the sun moves into Cancer, the protective and home oriented moon Goddess on the 21st your tactical advantage will be greatly improved. Finally, the new moon in Cancer on the 29th reinvigorates your creative power.

Libra 2022 Overview

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Eclipse season has passed and you are still standing. As the sign of power, death, and sex you a regenerative force to be reckoned with. Nonbinary Jupiter, and your ruling planet, masculine Mars are both in Aries this month supporting your focus on being your own hero, holding your boundaries, and boosting your personal power and initiative. Venus in your sister sign Taurus, also supports you to center and ground in your values, senses, and sexuality.

Saturn, Neptune and Pluto retrogrades will all also impact you as you move through the month. Make sure you’re taking care of your karma.

Mercury finally goes direct on the 13th boosting your mental and verbal clarity. Trust yourself to know what you need when the moon waxes full in Sagittarius on the 14th, giving voice to deep truths and inner wisdom. 

When Cancer season begins on the 21st, followed by the new moon in Cancer on the 29th, your wells of creativity will become geysers of inspiration and the universe begins opening portals to help you achieve your dreams. Don’t be afraid of the speed with which life seems to be moving forward. Time flies when you’re having fun and you can start totally anew, even be reborn entirely, if you dare.

Scorpio 2022 Overview

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Supporting you this month are your nonbinary ruling planet Jupiter, and masculine Mars n your fellow fire sign, Aries. Jupiter and Mars are driving you to focus on your hero’s journey, holding your boundaries, and boosting your personal power, carnal creativity and initiative.

Sagittarius is the sign of prophecy, and seers, so when psychic Neptune goes retrograde (June 28th) it is bound to impact your dreams, spirituality, and farsightedness. If things seem murky, just view it as a great opportunity to explore, reframe, and revise.

This Month’s Major Astrological Themes

Taurus Season

When: April 19th- May 20th 2022
Signs Most Affected: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Taurus, the down to earth lover of life’s little luxuries,  instinctively knows how to take life at the pace that suits them. Take time to smell the spring flowers this month. Listen to your body and give it what it needs. Plant spring seeds for summer food. Eat fancy cheeses. Buy a feather duster. Invest in a new mattress. Spend a weekend at a B&B. Make investment purchases for yourself. Enjoy the steady forward push that Spring has to offer. 

Jupiter and Neptune Conjunction in Pisces

When: April 12th, 2022 Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces.
Jupiter is in Pisces until May 10th, 2022, and Neptune is in Pisces until 2026.
Signs Most Affected: Sagittarius, Pisces 

Transcend to find your meaning and purpose in life.

These two planets are joining up in the water kingdom for salty daydreamy days, expanding our ability to heal, open our hearts, embrace optimism and to connect with others.  

Neptune and Jupiter in Pisces allows our spiritual imagination and healing powers to awaken so that we can learn to know our higher selves. This knowingness of our higher selves allows us to hold on to our sense of compassion, opening us up to curiosity, creativity, spirituality, and intuitive inspiration. 

During this time we turn to our subconscious for answers and embrace our softness, compassion, and psychic visions. Messages and inspiration flow easily and endlessly in the form of symbols, visions, and dreams. 

How to use this transit to grow wiser: Attune to your higher self and engage in the mindful and meaningful introspection. Some may experience this transit as an increased desire to escape reality rather than heal it. Those prone to delusions may find their pull strengthened. My advice? Instead of living in a delusion, make your reality worth living in. 

Venus, Jupiter, and Mars Shift into Aries

When: May 2nd 2022, May 10th, 2022, May 24th, 2022

Venus in Aries has us feeling honest and direct and helps us to take action in our relationships this month. Prepare for big energy shifts in your relationships that result in breaking up, moving out, getting married, new dates, and steamy passionate affairs. 

Jupiter moves out of sensitive Pisces and into brash Aries on the 10th, upping confidence in ourselves making us assert our needs and desires with confidence.

Mars returns home from Pisces to it’s ruling sign Aries on the 24th, making you confident in asserting your boundaries, standing up for yourself, and fighting what you believe in. 

Mercury RX 
When: May 10th, 2022- June 2nd, 2022
Mercury RX begins in Gemini and ends in Taurus. This is a time of miscommunications, unsent text messages, grammar errors, misdelivered packages, flat tires, grounded planes, and 2AM ‘You Up?’ texts. In other words, watch yourself, and try to reflect a little before you start acting up. 

Taurus/Scorpio Sister Sign Eclipse Season is here!
When: May 15th, 2022
We enter into the month still reeling from the first eclipse of the season: the April 30th solar eclipse in Taurus. This eclipse has us staring May off full of anticipation.

Then the total lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May 15th at 9:13 PM Pacific time will give us a run for our money. 

This Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Taurus forms an opposition to the Moon in Scorpio. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Full Moon is conjunct the South Node. The energy experienced during a Lunar Eclipse is like a Full Moon on steroids and the effects can be felt months later. Emotions are high and reactions can be volatile as we release what is no longer serving our path. The Moon in Scorpio is the alchemist of the zodiac and cycles through phases of death and rebirth to be transformed into the Phoenix Rising. 

This phase of the Moon occurs at 25 degrees and 18 minutes of Scorpio, affecting  people born with personal planets and points at approximately 20 to 30 degrees of the  Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly. 

Because this is a total Lunar Eclipse, more weight will be manifest in the axis between  form (Taurus) and transformation (Scorpio). Finding balance between these two energies will serve us well in the coming months to illuminate what was hidden in our psyches and reveal emotional black bags. This eclipse will be harmonized with Mars, Neptune and Pluto and challenged by the square to Saturn.

Ask yourself: what is yours and securely fortressed and what are you willing to share with the world?

Tuning into the New Moons, Full Moons and Eclipses is a potent way to experience the  cosmos. As is above, so is below..(Hermes Trismegistus). For information about  Galactic Centered Astrology visit www.indigotravellers.net 

Gemini season begins

When: May 20th, 2022
The social butterfly of the zodiac’s season has begun, upping the ante on your social life. 

Venus in Taurus
When: May 28th, 2022
Blessings in disguise help you lean into your ability to endure heartbreak. Things get sensual, just make sure you’re not doing that thing where you value stability more than your own happiness in your relationships. 

New Moon in Gemini
When: May 30th, 2022
Fresh starts take hold, new romance, new friends, and new family are on the horizon.

Pluto Retrograde 28° in Capricorn 

When: April 29th, 2022 - October 8th, 2022
Signs Most Affected: Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn, Scorpio
While Pluto is in Capricorn karmic matters of career, money, ambition, power, boundaries, limits, and abuse of power take center stage.

And you better watch yourself, dear ones, because Pluto RX is a time when a lot of people start pointing the finger. Pluto RX can lead to us projecting our beliefs onto others because it can often feel more comfortable to confirm our own bias than to face difficult truths. But if we settle for confirmation bias then we lose out on opportunities to uncover deeper truths. 

Pluto Rx is a good time to work on healing and parenting your inner child. It’s time to let go of old dynamics, love triangles, and emotional hang ups. 

Do you know the 3 R’s of surviving retrograde? Remember, Reflect, and Reframe (or Revise).

Astrology is a Tool for Self Reflection

Astrology is a tool we can use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond to what’s happening both internally and externally in the world. It helps us pay attention to our physical and emotional states and opens us up to new ways of navigating our thoughts and actions.

Everything written here is meant to be used as a tool of reflection and self-awareness and not as a hard prediction of the future. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately we each must decide our own path in life.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Hey, Aries, last month you got clarity got clarity around your emotions, boundaries, dreams, and your own capacity.

This month, Venus, Mars and Jupiter all come to party in your sign making this one of the most pivotal months of the year for you.

No matter how you started out the month (probably like a trashcan on fire if you’re being honest) you’re about to receive some serious luck and good fortune. When bad stuff happens try to roll with it- sometimes what seems like misfortune is actually a blessing in disguise. Get your big important stuff you’ve got to do this month out of the way by the time Mercury goes retrograde on May 10th or you’ll be feeling stalled out until mid June. 

Your Mini Tarot Reading from Wyld Lee: Sweet Aries, this moonth you received the Eight of Wands. This card invites you to take a deep look at your life and see where you might be keeping yourself too busy or distracted to actually make headway towards your goals. Particularly with this eclipse portal during the first two weeks of the moonth, it is time to look at the ways in which you are chasing comfort instead of being present with your life. How would you prefer to spend your time? Busy or satisfied?

Aries 2022 Overview

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Happy Birthday Taurus!

Last month you really started to lean into that main character energy and you took the steps necessary to reclaim your spot as the star of your own life. The last few weeks of April rocked your world and your relationships hard and now everything is changing. In fact, the stars say that you’re more or less destined to be experiencing a break up or new union this month. Supporting you in navigating that challenge this month is your ruling planet Venus, which enters into the sign of Aries on the 2nd pumping up your confidence, giving you the strength to say no, and helping you set and hold boundaries. Keep moving forward towards what makes you happy at the pace that makes you happy. Venus will return home to your sign on the 28th, bringing blessings to your romantic life. Jupiter brings big dreams to you, you are naturally intuitive, pay attention to it. Coupled? Be on the lookout for a surprise engagement. Mercury RX harshes your vibe a bit this month, and may lead to birthday drama, but just keep it honest and you’ll be fine. New professional opportunities occur late in the month. 

Your Mini Tarot Reading from Wyld Lee: Taurus my love!  You received the Lovers card which is absolutely perfect for you! We find ourselves in a Lovers year actually and we enter this moonth with a powerful Eclipse portal that is stationed in Taurus - your sign. This moonth is all about recognizing how your external environment and relationships reflect your internal landscape. Do you like what you see? If not, this Eclipse portal can help you to release stagnant energy and call in a more exciting and adventurous new cycle in your life.

Taurus 2022 Overview

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Happy Birthday Gemini!

Career was a key focus for you last month, Gemini.

This month, fate is throwing you curve balls, but don’t let that stop you from swinging for the fences. Make lots of time for social activity, and take time to fill your cup. Single Gemini’s are likely to meet someone this month. Powerful eclipses bring out changes in your routines and health. Eat a salad. Go for a run. It’s time to start preparing yourself for hot girl summer. Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde in your sign on the 10th, slowing things down, and upping the gaslighting and confusion. Use the Aries and Taurus energy of this month to lean into honesty instead of telling pretty lies to cover up your mistakes. Take a step towards making your dreams a reality towards the end of the month.

Your Mini Tarot Reading from Wyld Lee: Gemini! This moonth is characterized by the Two of Cups for you. This is a momentous time in which you can really deepen your relationships. Give yourself permission to be vulnerable and authentic and you will see those around you reciprocate and learn how to express themselves more fully by following your example. Don’t be shy with your feelings! This is the moonth to share.

Gemini 2022 Overview

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Last month you embraced where your imagination and creativity can lead.
This month luck is helping you navigate the chop of life. 

You’ve been riding the stormy seas long enough, and are ready to paddle your boat your own way, Cancer. Luckily, May brings luck on the stormy seas your way. Venus, Mars, and Jupiter in Aries are here to support you stepping into main character energy and taking control of your life. The total lunar eclipse in your fellow water sign Scorpio on the 15th brings about a second round of transformation to your mindset, your love life, and your professional growth. If you broke up last month, prepare for a turning point in love this month. Destiny is at play. By the end of the month you might be burnt out from all the swimming against the current of Mercury retrograde (May 10th) you’ve been doing, lean into honesty, relaxation, and just chill at home if you can. 

Your Mini Tarot Reading from Wyld Lee: My sweet cancer friends. This moonth is depicted in the Knight of Wands! This is a card of stepping outside of our mental comfort zone, and stepping into a more adventurous way of thinking about our circumstances. Allow yourself the pleasure this moonth of daydreaming and imagining your life in a new and more innovative way. This Eclipse portal is a potent opportunity for you to shake up the ways in which you hide inside your shell and encourages you to explore a wider world. You are safe - invite in some excitement!

Cancer 2022 Overview

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Last month you were driven towards your higher calling. 
This month you’re taking life as it comes Leo.

You live for the excitement the eclipse season has brought to your work life and social groups but changes at home may have you feeling like you don’t need this kind of pressure in your life. Hey Leo, we get it, but part of being the main character is that the plot points come fast and furious around you, especially since Venus, Mars, and Jupiter all take a turn in your fellow fire sign Aries this month. When Mercury goes retrograde on the 10th try to let go a little and let things unfold naturally instead of trying to force situations. Lean into expanding your horizons, traveling, and education. When Gemini season begins at the end of the month you’ll be feeling well equipped with new found wisdom to share with your social circle. 

Your Mini Tarot Reading from Wyld Lee: My Leo friends. This moonth arrives in the archetype of the King of Swords for you. It comes with a gentle reminder to have clear boundaries but don’t allow your preferences to keep you from saying yes to new experiences. This King can be rigid if they do not get their way. Take time this moonth to consider if you are being stubborn or if you are truly upholding boundaries that must be honored.

Leo 2022 Overview

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Last month you worked on accepting yourself.

And this month you’re busy busy busy., Virgo. Relationships are shifting for you this month, intimacy is growing in your life, as the solar eclipse in your fellow earth sign Taurus last month started the process of weeding your social circle to support your goals of honesty, integrity and healing. Things are cooking up in your career and professional world too, you’ve undergone some changes on that front, and you’ll soon see it’s for the best. But watch out because Mercury goes retrograde on the 10th threatening to derail your plans. The second eclipse of the season in Scorpio on the 15th lights up the communications, education and travel sectors of your chart so it’s time to expand some horizons and do the work that has been calling to you. Plus if you learn something new, you’ll have something new to talk about when your social life picks up with Gemini season rolling in at the end of the month. 

Your Mini Tarot Reading from Wyld Lee: Dearest Virgo! The Three of Wands is the name of your game this moonth.  This card encourages you to take your business, your projects and your finances seriously. Give yourself the gift of getting your numbers in order and taking a full stock of your financial and work related health. Are you overworking? Do you have more debt than you would prefer? Allow this Eclipse portal to support you and shaking up old habits that might be leading you into patterns that no longer serve.

Virgo 2022 Overview 

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Last month you were planning your exits and entrances Libra.

This month you’re embarking on a new adventure.

This new adventure especially highlights transforming partnerships and professional endeavors. Your ruling planet Venus enters into fiery Aries this month, upping your confidence and supporting luck, love, and new long term relationships in your life until October. Eclipse season also brings powerful shifts in your investments, income, wealth. You're one of the lucky ones this month, with abundance streaming in from other sources even as one stream of revenue fades away. But watch out as Mercury RX takes hold on the 10th and brings confusion and cloudiness in communications and in business. Hold off on big promises, and new contracts, until the 30th. 

Your Mini Tarot Reading from Wyld Lee: Sweetest Librans… our card this moonth is the Ten of Cups.  This month and this Eclipse portal signifies the ending of an old emotional pattern and way of thinking about our life. It is time to put away childish things and the seeking of comfort and instead begin to focus on cultivating joy rather than making do with the ordinary. You deserve the best! And you are responsible for your own life satisfaction, make this life spectacular!

Libra 2022 Overview

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Last month you are addressed what you need to feel secure. 

This month may well be the most important month of your life, Scropio.

Last month’s solar eclipse brought you face to face with your own ability to commit to the things you love both in love and in business. You’ve got your eye on new horizons now. Meaning you’re likely to embark on a new business adventure, a marriage, partnership, or new relationship this month. Pay close attention to the relationships in your life that mirror your values. The lunar eclipse in your sign on the 15th brings death and rebirth into your life, bringing about big endings, big shifts, and a stepping into your power. Luck is on your side in health and endurance this month, thanks to Mars, Venus, and Jupiter in Aries. Although Mercury retrograde beings May 10th making communications messy. But towards the end of the month Gemini season will begin and your social life will get back on track.

Your Mini Tarot Reading from Wyld Lee:  My soulful Scorpios… your card this moonth is the Page of Cups.  This Page reminds you to take some solitude and space this moonth for your own emotional tending. Particularly with this immense eclipse portal which comes to a close in your sign, it is imperative that you create spaciousness in your life to feel your feelings. Give yourself the gift of space and see how the moonth unfolds much more peacefully!

Scorpio 2022 Overview

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Last month you started putting down roots.

Time speeds up for you this month. Eclipse season has arrived, the first one having occurred April 30th in Taurus and the second one on May 15th in Taurus, leading to big changes in your physical and mental health. It’s time to make that dentist appointment or any other health related appointments you’ve been putting off. Take care of your body and leave toxic habits, romantic and platonic partners behind. Try to view your life as if it were a recently burned field, sure the ground has been scorched in places, but that just means the grass will grow back there even greener. Love, passion and relationship themes may take center stage in your heart and life this month. Family planning begins. Children are born to couples. Intimacy deepens in long term relationships and singles have opportunities for real soul connections. Mercury retrograde brings May 10th, increasing the turbulence in your life, if you’re looking to reconnect try to wait until the second half of May when Mars, Venus, and Jupiter all align in your fellow fire sign Aries to support your confidence, luck and power. 

Your Mini Tarot Reading from Wyld Lee: Oh my fiery Sag!  Your card is the blank card! The card of Great Mystery! The Void. The unknown.  This moonth might feel a bit stressful for you dear archer, as you enjoy knowing what you’re aiming for. Allow yourself to soften and surrender into the not knowing that this moonth holds for you. This is a re-organization time. Spend some time at home decluttering and getting yourself prepared for when energy picks up later in the month.

Sagittarius 2022 Overview

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)


Last month you sharpened your affirmations and deliberated on next steps.

Are you seeking thrills? Like it or not this month brings the thrills, Capricorn.

Your romantic, domestic, and family life may feel like a roller coaster this month, thanks to the effects of the solar eclipse in your fellow earth sign Taurus on the 30th of last month and the lunar eclipse in Scorpio on the 15th of May. With all the change and big shifts, big drops, big growth and big thrills in the air it makes sense that you’ll be seeing the end of friendships, relationships, new beginnings in romance, child bearing/rearing, and passion levels this month. Couples will deepen the intimacy in their long-term relationships. Where as singles may find soul connections and steamy hook-ups. Supporting you is all the confident, boundary setting energy of Aries in Venus, Mars and Jupiter this month. Just maybe try not to sign the contracts or make big promises you’re not sure you can keep while Mercury is in retrograde from May 10th-June 3rd. The new moon at the end of the month and the beginning of Gemini season brings in new opportunities for social connections. 

Your Mini Tarot Reading from Wyld Lee: Steadfast Capricorns, you have received the Two of Pentacles this moonth.  This card always represents the need to make a clear choice without being attached to the outcome. Remember, every choice is simply left or right. We have no idea how any choice is actually going to unfold! Often when we make a choice that we think is the best it turns out to lead to another problem all together that we could not have anticipated. The point of life is to experience. Let all your choices this moons simply be an experience without needing the outcome to be exactly right.

Capricorn 2022 Overview

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Last month you redefined what home means for you (again) and got grounded in getting your needs met. 

This month, fair Aquarius, you’re flying into new skies and across new horizons.

Taurus and Scorpio sister sign eclipse season began on April 30th and hits again on May 15th bringing big changes, big shifts, big deaths, and big growth to your domestic and romantic realms. You may break up, move house, or finally commit to the one you love in the “for better or worse” kind of way this month. Think of this time as a time period in which you’re renovating your home and your life.  Mid-month your focus shifts to career and professional achievements. You’ll be quitting jobs, getting a promotion, or celebrating your hard earned success. Communication is another big theme for you this month, how do you most effectively communicate your big ideas to others? Mercury retrograde beings on the 10th creating confusion in the home and in your hobbies and side hustle. But Mars, Venus, and Jupiter in Aries are here to support your self confidence, boundary setting, and passions this month. And when Gemini season begins at the end of the month you’ll see some enlivening opportunities in your social life. 

Your Mini Tarot Reading from Wyld Lee: Aquarians! This moonth you are graced with the Queen of Swords. This is one of my favorite cards, as it is the archetype of clean clear boundaries that are unwavering. Allow this Eclipse portal to support you in clearing up any miscommunications or ways in which you have not been fully honest in your relationships. It is time to reclaim your power!

Aquarius 2022 Overview

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Last month your capacity to accomplish your goals is expanded to fill the horizon, sweet Pisces.

This month the world is getting shaken up.

Pisces energy has dominated the skies for months, now things are shifting into a lot of Aries energy permeating Venus, Jupiter and Mars during Taurus season- which means new boundaries, confidence, endurance, sensuality, and financial success. Eclipse season is also shaking things up this month, with the big Taurus solar eclipse from April 30th still affecting us and the big emotional shake ups of death and rebirth brought on by the lunar eclipse in your fellow water sign Scorpio on May 15th. You’re likely to experience big changes in your home and living situation and may even decide to go back to school, join a monastery, or pack up your life and plan a trip to travel around the world. Your plans get delayed however by the Mercury retrograde that lasts from May 10th-June 3rd. This transit may especially cause frustrations at home and with family for you. Hang in there and know that every moment is a new open door, the new moon and the beginning of Gemini season towards the end of the month help bring about an improved vibe in your life. 

Your Mini Tarot Reading from Wyld Lee: Darling deep Pisces… your card this moonth is The Chariot.  I know it can be hard sometimes, but this card suggests that it is finally time to let go of whatever you have been holding onto so tightly. Let this eclipse cycle shake up the ways in which you feel stuck or trapped and simply open your hands to life. There will be something new and different and better on the other side! But first you have to step out of the rut.

April 2022 Horoscopes: Leading From the Heart; Grounding in the Body

This month’s horoscopes feature mini-tarot readings by gorge local divinatrix Wyld Lee! Find out what the tarot cards and the stars have in store for you this month!

Hello dear ones,

First off I want to share some exciting news with you!

I am very excited to announce that this month’s horoscopes feature a tarot card reading for each Zodiac sign. Each card was selected by Wyld Lee, a local ‘Divinatrix’ who specializes in transformation and rebirth work for those who are ready to change their lives. 

You can learn more about Wyld Lee and  her work at WyldLeeTarot.com or on all the social media spaces @wyldleetarot.  Wyld offers mini readings the second Friday of each moonth at MoonMountain Highway if you would like a taste of her magic.

This Month’s Major Astrological Themes

This month is all about letting your heart, your intuition, and your subconscious guide you home to grounded sensations of your body. 

Connection and imagination are everywhere you look this April …thanks to the softening Piscean influences acting upon Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune. 

Pisces energy in these planets beckons you to explore your feelings and the feelings of those around you…it also calls upon you to adjust your worldview to include other realities. 

Boundaries thin and dissolve like paper in water this month. Making you feel limitless.

Reality seems more tenuous and expansive than usual this month as your subconscious works overtime envisioning spectacular fantasies of the future, inspiring art and making your life feel more like a movie than reality. 

When Mars and Venus both enter Pisces you’ll become supercharged with emotions and will need to lean into your endurance. 

Luckily the Libra full moon and the start of Taurus season arrive just in time to bring out the social, sexual, and sensual parts of yourself. It’ll feel nice to get dressed up, go on a date, and blow off some steam by having some steamy sex.

When the moon enters Pisces along with Venus, Mars, and Jupiter on the 26th, you’ll be in for a psychedelic trip through the subconscious universe that will prepare you for the partial solar eclipse in Taurus at the end of the month. 

Ask yourself: What do I want to do on this earth?

Key Astrological Transits in April

Aries New Moon

When: April 5th, 2022

Clarity arrives with the Aries new moon, and not a moment too soon. Your emotions are a clue. What angers you is a clue. Put on your detective cap. What are you passionate about? 

Venus in Pisces

When: April 5th, 2022
Signs Most Affected: Taurus, Libra, Pisces
Intimacy is a deep river that flows towards the heart. Swim with the current instead of fighting against the tide and you’ll be flowing in the direction of love. Optimism and gratitude comes easily in your relationships this month. 

Mercury in Taurus

When: April 10th, 2022
Signs Most Affected: Taurus, Gemini

Communications become slow and deliberate for a time. Mercury in Taurus is all about exploring the feelings of “YES” and “NO” in your body. Learn to tell the difference and be clear in your communications. If you do not honor your body’s needs it will come back to bite you. If you don’t know yet, say “I don’t know.” Don’t pressure yourself into giving an answer you might regret. Embrace the power of silence. Embrace the power of not needing to have a snappy comeback. Embrace the power of letting things go. Your long held feelings and opinions are a reminder of your endurance. 

Jupiter and Neptune Conjunction in Pisces

When: April 12th, 2022 Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces.
Jupiter is in Pisces until May 2022, and Neptune is in Pisces until 2026.
Signs Most Affected: Sagittarius, Pisces 

Transcend to find your meaning and purpose in life.

These two planets are joining up in the water kingdom for salty daydreamy days, expanding our ability to heal, open our hearts, embrace optimism and to connect with others.  

Neptune and Jupiter in Pisces allows our spiritual imagination and healing powers to awaken so that we can learn to know our higher selves. This knowingness of our higher selves allows us to hold on to our sense of compassion, opening us up to curiosity, creativity, spirituality, and intuitive inspiration. 

During this time we turn to our subconscious for answers and embrace our softness, compassion, and psychic visions. Messages and inspiration flow easily and endlessly in the form of symbols, visions, and dreams. 

How to use this transit to grow wiser: Attune to your higher self and engage in the mindful and meaningful introspection. Some may experience this transit as an increased desire to escape reality rather than heal it. Those prone to delusions may find their pull strengthened. My advice? Instead of living in a delusion, make your reality worth living in. 


Mars in Pisces


When:

Signs Most Affected: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Taurus, the down to earth lover of life’s little luxuries,  instinctively knows how to take life at the pace that suits them. Take time to smell the spring flowers this month.

Mercury in Gemini

Pluto Retrograde 28° in Capricorn 

When: April 29th, 2022 - October 8th, 2022
Signs Most Affected: Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn, Scorpio
While Pluto is in Capricorn karmic matters of career, money, ambition, power, boundaries, limits, and abuse of power take center stage.

And you better watch yourself, dear ones, because Pluto RX is a time when a lot of people start pointing the finger.

Pluto RX can lead to us projecting our beliefs onto others because it can often feel more comfortable to confirm our own bias than to face difficult truths. But if we settle for confirmation bias then we lose out on opportunities to uncover deeper truths. 

Pluto Rx is a good time to work on healing and parenting your inner child. It’s time to let go of old dynamics, love triangles, and emotional hang ups. 

Do you know the 3 R’s of surviving retrograde? Remember, Reflect, and Reframe (or Revise).

Taurus Solar Eclipse 

When: April 30th, 2022 partial solar eclipse in Taurus (The Taurus and Scorpio sister sign eclipse cycle began on November 19th, 2021, and will continue throughout 2022 and into 2023.)
Signs most affected: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius 

Eclipses always fall on a new or full moon and are considered to be super-charged versions of those lunar events. Eclipses mean new beginnings, intensity, big feelings, big shifts, and big changes.
Eclipses in the fixed sign of Taurus indicate shifts around structures, daily routines, and responsibilities associated with sensuality, material needs, financial security, and bodily autonomy. 

Use the eclipses in Taurus to get your new green sustainable business a boost, ditch the social media time for cuddle time, get grounded in nature, and get in touch with your senses.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Happy Birthday Aries!

Last month you learned that intuition can reveal hidden truths.
This month you’re getting clarity around your emotions, boundaries, dreams, and your own capacity. As an Aries, you have the superhuman ability to move through strong feelings quickly. Your emotions are clues this month. What are they telling you? 

Take advantage of the clarity brought about by the new moon in Aries, because on the 14th, piscean influences on your ruling planet Mars may make it hard to focus on reality as your mind desires to wander into the realm of fantasy. Then the Libra full moon on the 16th will have you jumping back into the social fray. You’re looking hawt so enjoy it.

Towards the end of the month systemic and bureaucratic obstacles may attempt to block your way thanks to Saturn and Pluto. Pluto going RX on the 29th will affect you more than others. Take it at your own pace, this transit will last five months and it’s a great opportunity to go Sherlock Holmes on yourself and start healing your inner child.

Your Tarot Card from Wyld Lee: Four of Pentacles

This moonth is a clear reminder to check in with your body boundaries.  Don't burn out by pushing faster than the body desires... the energy of momentum abounds AND you have the authority to harness it and slow down as needed.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Happy Birthday Taurus!

Last month you experienced a lesson in self worth.
This April, fame is on the table for you.

You’ve been busy watching and helping everyone in your life get their glow-ups and this month it’s finally your turn. As Mercury enters Taurus on the 10th, and Taurus season begins on the 19th you’re able to clearly communicate what you’re contributing to this world. 

As a Taurus, you have an almost superhuman ability to know exactly what you stand for.

Now ask yourself, what do you want to be known for? 

A portal to other dimensions of understanding opens for you on the 30th, during the Taurus solar eclipse. Take the day off if you can to focus on the gifts of your imagination. When you are reasonably happy, clear, and centered it’s time to take a transformative psychedelic journey into your dreams.

Your mantra this month: Life is full of possibilities. There are no problems in life. Only possibilities.

Your Tarot Card from Wyld Lee: Two of Swords

This moonth holds a big choice for our Taurus friends. The Swords represent action and power - Time to make that decision. No more procrastination, the time is NOW. Make the choice and you will feel better.

Let the bull’s honest, methodical, practical, and grounded approach guide you in building a good foundation for your next big project.

Gemini 2022 Overview

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Last month you embraced your creativity.
This month you’re embracing where your imagination and creativity can lead. 

As a Cancer you have the almost superhuman ability to take initiative and offer comfort to yourself and others. 

And you’ll get the opportunity to use that superpower this month when the new moon in Aries blasts the doors open in your house of work and career.

This is a powerful combination of possibilities that can lift you as high as you want to go. 

Mercury and the Sun in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn on the 10th and 18th, stirring up old relationship hurts. This might tempt you to dwell on the past and what’s held you back, but try to stay focused on where you’re going instead. Channel your anger and sense of righteousness about how you’ve been wronged into forward momentum if you can. 

Your Tarot Card from Wyld Lee: Eight of Swords

Cancer 2022 Overview

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Last month you experienced karmic lessons.
This month you’re being driven towards your higher calling. 

Dear Leo, you have the almost superhuman ability to tackle leadership roles with ease. 

However when Mercury enters Taurus on the 10th, followed by your ruling planet, the Sun on the 18th, you’ll be in for some big changes in the public roles you fulfill. Now is the time to write that Oscar acceptance speech if that’s what you want, but chances are it’s not that simple. \

You’re being called to answer your higher calling this month, and if your work is getting in the way, chances are you might need to relinquish some of your public roles or reinvent those roles to fit this need.

Watery Pisces energy dominates the skies this month, flooding your eighth house of Spirituality with themes of self reinvention, death, resurrection, legacies, sex, and taboos. What are your dreams? Ask yourself, what is the legacy you want to leave?

Your Tarot Card from Wyld Lee: Five of Swords

This moonth is very supportive for inner work. You are invited to look at the ways you behave defensively in your life and assess why. Can you investigate the walls keeping you from deeper connection? This year can be a year of trust building if you say yes!

Leo 2022 Overview

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Last month you experienced the lesson that it is not time that is ticking away, it is your life that is ticking away.
This month you are clearing projections and delusions surrounding your self-image. It’s time to break free of old narratives of self that prevent you from growth. You tend to be critical of yourself. So when the criticism starts circling it’s time to ask yourself, is this criticism constructive? Can accepting this criticism make me better? If not…let it go because it serves no purpose other than to make you doubt yourself.

As a Virgo you have the almost superhuman ability to use your creativity to serve others. Mars and Venus enter your sister sign Pisces later this month, lighting up your seventh house of relationships and relationship to self. This is an important opportunity to deepen the intimacy and creative partnerships in your life. Embrace this gift.

When Mercury enters your fellow earth sign, Taurus, on the 10th it will illuminate your 9th house of expanding horizons. Take a leaf out of Taurus’ book and approach and lean into the possibilities that your body wants to explore. Face the unknown with a practical, deliberate, and endurance based approach. 

Ask yourself, what kind of creative partnerships excite you?

Your Tarot Card from Wyld Lee: Temperance
This moonth is calling you back into balance.  Make space for your emotions to flow so things don't turn into resentment.  Sweet Virgos will benefit from making time for your tears to flow.

When Mercury enter Taurus on the 10th, you will be ready to talk about health issues. And Taurus season kicks off on the 19th, urging you to ground yourself in taking care of your body, mind, and emotions. Getting the healing you need lifts everybody up, not just you. 

The full moon in your sign puts you in the spotlight on the 16th. Making it time to manifest the public persona you want the world to see.

Ask yourself, what gift do you want to give the world?

Your Tarot Card from Wyld Lee: The World
This moonth of April was built for you Libra!  This is the time to release all attachments to fear and commit to your life.  Let it be edgy, fun and unexpected...there are blessings awaiting you!  Dance into your power…

Don’t worry though, this month has some lighter aspects in store for you as well, the Libra full moon on the 16th and Mercury moving into Gemini on the 29th are sure to activate the arenas of your social life and give you opportunities to focus on chosen family and leisure.

Your Tarot Card from Wyld Lee: Great Mystery
This moonth is an invitation to lean in to the unknown and get more comfortable. You don't need a plan or goal to always be your focus. It is the journey itself that is the prize...let your grasping of success soften this moonth so you can be present to the miracles already in your life.

Hello dear ones,

March is here and though late winter is still holding us close to our hearths, the nearness of Spring is upon us.

New life, new conflicts, new economies
Are boiling over onto the stove.

No form of economy ever saved a person’s soul.
No form of violence ever healed a past wrong.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Last month: Your ruling planet Mars entered Aquarius, continuing your focus on responsibilities and career goals.

This month:

Happy Birthday Aries!

Sweet Aries darling, your season has begun. 

This month you are like a cottontail peeking out from it’s cave 
or a sprout courageously poking it’s green leafy body above the earth 
trusting Spring has come. 

Dreams come to you. 
Your intuition can reveal hidden truths. 

Wake up your trusting leaves and make a wish for your life. 
Watch as the sun rises to meet you. 
See how bold you are! 
How fiercely independent! 

You are not alone. 
Your friends and your intuition support your efforts. 
You support yourself. 

You learn to turn sunshine into sugar 
and drink deep of the sweetness of the earth. 

Rejoice!
You are the fiercest friend you’ve ever had!

Aries 2022 Overview 

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Last month: You’ve been on a path of developing a strong sense of self and your confidence in your identity will help make this month an engaging, and productive time full of creativity. New channels of self expression are becoming available to you.

This month:

My sweet industrious cow
You wear a gold chain around your neck
And you think you are beautiful.
What could be beautiful about being chained?

You work so hard because
The grass is always greener
On the other side of the economic fence.

What is gold worth? Hmm?
What is a decoration worth?
Absolutely nothing.
But you my dear Taurus, 
YOU are priceless.

You crave riches, gold and all the freedom you think it brings
You work hard, you toil for your little luxuries.

But what bliss can wages bring you?
What ecstatic joy do all the flowing silks of the world hold
that you could not have for yourself
when you get right with your mind and heart?

Kiss your own face in the mirror every morning and say 
I am worth more than money!
I am worth more than every penny in every pocket
Of every trillionaire

I am a human being
And a human being is worth something.

I am an invaluable part of the world.
I am an invaluable part of nature.
This world is my home. 
This home is my heaven. 

I will grow love inside my body
Strip naked and run through the fields singing at the top of my lungs
I will decorate this heaven with sunflowers and tomatoes
I will grow the love inside my body
I will be ecstatic
Until my worth is undeniable to all
Especially me!

And then sweet love, sweet bullish dear,
If you must play some little game
If you must play some little societal role
To get the bread and the milk and the honey
Or to buy yourself some new bauble
Play it with a smile on your face
Knowing that you are so much more than this.

You are a human being.
And you are worth so much more than money
Or the gold chain around your neck
Or the millions of dollars that you are manifesting
So that you can treat your lovers
To weekends in the tropics.

My sweet Taurus,
You are a human being. 
And even without all it’s decorations
A human being is worth something
All on it’s own.

Taurus 2022 Overview

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Last month: Money management plagues you. Avoid idolization. Recognize your many talents for the gifts they are.

This month:

Gregarious Gemini.
You upset the haters this month.
You upset your frenemies with your success.

Your relationship to yourself shapes your relationship to others.
Be careful with your mindset.
Be sure there is no frenemy living inside of you.

To suffer your losses is nothing to be ashamed of.
But to suffer your success…this is a terrible tragedy.
Success is hard work isn’t it?

Stop beating yourself up over silly things.
Stand up for yourself.
Especially when you have to stand up to yourself.

And hey, you’re not dead yet so
Celebrate!

Isn’t it beautiful to be alive!
So beautiful that others might fight to the death
Just to be here.

Gemini 2022 Overview

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Last Month: You spent last month looking under the hood, diagnosing the mechanical failures in your life and in your relationships and getting comfy talking about shared finances, deep personal changes and more. 

This Month:

Dear Cancer,
Queen of the tides
Your poet heart calls to you.
It whispers inspiration into your ear
Like a lover asking you to bed.

Listen to her without hearing.
Know her without thinking.
See her without opening your eyes.
This is the way.

Do this and words pour from you
Crafting the current of your life. 

The words you speak bring blessings
Bits of string and coin find their way to you
Like driftwood upon the sea.

Your intentions travel furthest
When you are clear as a compass.
You are a journey of discovery.

My sweet Cancer
Reach out your heart.
Taste the golden drops of wisdom which lie
In the delicate folds of the world’s body.

Repeat after me
I am love.
I am love.

Cancer 2022 Overview

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Last month: You were you're helping, healing, and contributing to the world by channeling your passion into productive pursuits and continued on the theme of building a daily routine that supports your health and long-term goals. 

This month:

Dear Leo,

Your heart is a signal fire
What signals are you sending?

If you want love
Be love.

If you want to be loved
Love others.

If you want soul bending orgasms
Give them to another.

Karma is not a b*tch sweet Leo.
Karma is a wheel,

What goes around,
Rolls back around. 

You know this.

But just in case no one ever told you
I will tell you a secret.
If you want to get anywhere in this life…or the next
You must rig the karmic game
By filling your heart with kindness and love.

And if you want to climb a mountain…
Well, dear Leo,
You must first learn to climb.

Leo 2022 Overview

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Last month: Was a critical one for you. Instead of cursing at the slow pace of things, just accept it as a sign from the universe that you need to rest.

This month:

Sweet Virgo,

Every moment you sit on your hands
Instead of rushing out that door at full speed
To go do that impractical thing
That sets your heart ablaze
Is one more moment of your life that has ticked away.

Make no mistake beloved,
It is not time that is ticking away
It is your life that is ticking away.

If life is precious to you than you must do something with it
And knowing you, you will find something useful to do with it.
Of this we can be certain.

Run out that f*cking door with your heart blazing
Run out into the street and start shouting and singing
With tears of joy streaming down your face.

Kiss the soft body of the rain as it falls
Roll in the mud
Laugh hysterically at the thought
That every moment is a new chance to be fully alive

To be fully alive is to drip sweetness every moment of your life.
No one teaches a bee how to make honey,
There is no need to.
The bee is alive in a big way.
And to be alive is to create sweetness.

It is only miserable people who must be taught how to live.

Transform your mindset
Release perfectionism and materialism
Life is chaos, it likes messiness
If you do not like messiness that is not life’s fault.
Transcend your concerns and instead be ecstatic
That you are alive. 

Repeat after me:
I am alive.
I am alive

Virgo 2022 Overview 

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Lat month: Your ruling planet, loving Venus finally exited retrograde and the energy in your life shifted in a big way.

This month:

Tenacious Libra, 

You love to be witnessed.
And so you surround yourself
With those that can see your heart.

But do you see them?
Or are you focused inward?

I only ask sweet one,
For things are shifting, as I think you know.
Life is chaos and chaos is change
And change is inevitable after all.

Change is not a problem.
There are no problems in life
Only possibilities.

Sharpen the loving dagger of your self-reliance
For those moments when you find yourself making dinner for one.
You might be chopping up potatoes alone
But you can still sweeten the soup with love my dear Libra. 

Cherish yourself dear one.
Cherish your inner witness
Cherish your body and it’s abilities
Cherish your heart and it’s passions
Cherish your mind and it’s intelligence
Cherish your spirit and it’s unbreakable nature.

Show yourself care.

Because
You are enough.
You are more than enough.
You are the best partner you could have in this life.
Hold yourself close and never let go.

Libra 2022 Overview

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Last month: You took a hands-on approach to communications, creativity, learning and self-expression.  

This month:

Terrifying and beautiful Scorpio,

The whole world is transfixed when they look upon you!
They long to fall hopelessly in love beneath the lash of your tongue.
And you, knowing this, lash at them strategically
Tickling their desires,
Soothing their fears,
Piercing their hearts with poison-laced daggers.

But aw, you see life is like this Scorpio
If you let a deadly snake loose in your house
It’s going to bite somebody!

This is all fine
If you can joyfully face the consequence of your action.
But if you cannot joyfully face
the death of your roommates, family, or friends
Then you must not let that snake loose!
This is the simplest thing!
This is the simplest thing to understand!

You see sweet Scorpio,
If you wish to persuade a bee, or a bear, or a lover,
It is best to use a pot of honey.

If the goal is to have a sanctuary in others
Then you must treat them as a sanctuary.
If the goal is to have a home that is a sanctuary
Then you must treat it as such.

Everyone knows this, yes.
And yet many words laced with poison
Have been written upon those temple doors
And it takes an awful lot of earnest scrubbing
To wash them clean.

But there is no other way to do it!
So joyfully get your elbows wet
In the name of love.
Laugh at yesterday's squabbles
And forgive yourself and others in an instant
By knowing you are alive
And you are doing the best you can.


Scorpio 2022 Overview

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Last month: Your mind was curious this month and lines of connection, travel, communication, and learning began opening up to you as a result and you did lots of exploring related to your creativity, business ventures, and home improvements. 

This month:
Daring Sagittarius,

Stand as still as a heron at the water's edge
Wait for the frogs to come out of hiding
Plunge in head first laughing hysterically.
Kissing your reflection as you fall.

Fall deep into that well of gratitude
Let it hold you.

Embody yourself.
Notice now, how you feel, when the mud settles
Open your eyes and see how the world looks from this angle
How the trees have gone wobbly, your lover’s grin magnified.

Hold your breath for a moment and see how in the stillness
clarity comes rushing forward to greet you.

When you rise to the surface
What will spill out?

No more holding out,
Spill sweet Sagittarius!

Let truth flow from you
Like a river
Destined for the Ocean
Fated to the skies!

The Universe is listening!
It wants to give you what you focus on.

So focus your mind!
Focus your heart!
Focus your Spirit!

Then spill sweet Sagittarius!
Spill the beans until the whole world is fed
And your heart is so full
That you are bursting with every beat!

Sagittarius 2022 Overview

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Last month: You sought personal fulfillment, comfort, additional resources, and satisfying conversations. 

This month:

Busy Capricorn,

Mind the stove!
You are boiling over,
Pour a little out and
See how nicely the spaghetti is cooking?
Much better.

You tend to fill your life to the brim
Seeing an opportunity in each moment
To accomplish something

What are you trying to accomplish?
A life well spent no doubt.
Full of accomplishments no doubt.
But what about the rest of it?

Turn life into a beautiful process for yourself
And you will never lament a single mistake you make.

If you are tired you need not toil, rest.
Sit as still as a heron at the waters edge,
Waiting for lunch to go swimming by.
When lunch comes,
Dive in!

If you miss it and lunch escapes, do not cry.
There is not need to worry about what we cannot or do not do in life
We need only do what we can do.
Life is about involvement not uninvolvement.
And if lunch gets away today so what?
You can still enjoy the reflection of the clouds on the water.

Devote yourself to falling in love with the process of life.
If you do this you will be filled with purpose.
You will not need to justify anything, regret anything, fear anything.
You will be ecstatic for even your failures will become success.

The process of life is not always easy.
Yes, there is suffering here in this heaven.
But you are alive. 

Say it!

I am alive!
I am fully alive!

Feel the joy rising in you!

Capricorn 2022 Overview

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Last month: You turned over a new leaf and focused in on your personal spheres of relaxation, retreat, and healing.

This month:

Angelic Aquarius,

How like the beloved you are,
Full of ferocity, justice, and clarity!
Your high ideals are a lifestyle
And others will admire you for it!

But what is admiration from others
Without admiration for your self, your mind, your body, your heart!
Your intelligence must not be allowed to turn against you.

You must take control of this machine.
Reprogram yourself if you must!
Just be sure not to overwrite your successes!

Put down your phone.
Eat a salad.
Know that each leaf is as alive as you are.
Know that each being on this Earth is as alive as you are.
Know that you are fully alive
And it is only natural for that which is fully alive
To be in love with the process of life.

You are humanity’s lighthouse dear Aquarius!
You must be up to the task!
When others lose themselves you do not.
When others are lost, you guide them back to shore!

But first dear Aquarius,
You must learn to swim in perfect harmony with yourself.
You must become a practice of a living humanity
That can expand its boundaries
To include all beings.

Understand that you are included in this.
You are a part of the world you want to save.

And when you do something for yourself
Say you take a nice bath or spend an afternoon in the sun
If the shame finds you, you need only ask
Is this bringing well being to myself and all others around me?
Is it not so?

Then shout, sing, dance to the tune of
Yes!
Yes!
A thousand times Yes!

Aquarius 2022 Overview

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Happy Birthday, Pisces!

Last month: You leaned into freedom of expression, moving forward with your interests, and re-orienting yourself to being more open to connection in March. 

This month:

Sweet beloved Pisces,

What has this season taught you?
What wisdom or wounds have you gained
While swimming in the depths of this dream.

No more shouting into the pillow
Crying yourself to sleep.
Toiling for things you care nothing for.
Stand up to your inner critic!
Offer your heart empathy.
Align your values with your lifestyle.
You do not need money to be happy
What you need is safety, what you need is love.

I see you out here,

I know you long to be known.
How are you to be known
If you are always hiding beneath the surface?

Burst free and greet the surface Pisces!

Rise, rise for the deep!
Feel the strength of your heart,
Feel the strength of your resolve,

Feel the strength of your voice!
Your friends have all gathered here to hear you sing.
Sing the song of your heart!

Sing the song of your love!
Sing of your laughter!
Invite them to join you in the chorus!

Revel in this human experience!
It is to be experienced, it is to be enjoyed!

Fall in love with yourself!
Fall in love with life!

Because, it is not forever, you know this:
One day, your will dissolve into this Earth.
But until then you are alive!

Chant this in your heart
And happiness will follow you

I am alive!
I am alive!
I am fully alive!

Your Zodiac Sign's February Horoscope and Love Forecast

This month we explore what the stars have in store for all twelve zodiac signs in February of 2022, with a special focus on this month’s love, romance, and relationships forecast.

Hello dear ones,

This month we’re recovering from a seriously pretty agonizing Venus retrograde and Mercury retrograde. Luckily, the ‘sticky’ ‘stuckness’ energy of those transits is gone, but it still may take you a while to feel ready to shift gears. 

So be gentle with yourself this month friends. 

This Month’s Major Astrological Themes

Lunar Cycle Inspires and Empowers Independence 

When: Feb. 1st, 2022 - New Moon in Aquarius, Feb 16th - Leo Full Moon

Signs Most Affected: Aquarius, Leo

On the New Moon: The new moon in Aquarius asks us to lean into the value of connection. 

This transit is a fresh new start for many people in the areas of relationship, friend groups, friendship, social pursuits, and humanitarian efforts. Aquarius asks us to view everything through a non-confirmative lens. Ask yourself…What is the most outside-of-the-box way we can approach this situation? 

The new start might feel slightly somber to those who resist taking on new responsibilities. If that sounds like you, try to embrace the ever-changing and flowing nature of life. 

Having new experiences can help bring detachment from past hurts while simultaneously bringing increased attachment to the present and increased hope for the future. 

On the Full Moon: Get creative. Find your inner fire. Fight for what you believe in. Celebrate with friends and family.

Mercury RX IS OVER, Clear Thinking and Communications Resume

When: Feb. 3rd - Mercury stations direct in Capricorn, Feb 14th - Mercury enters Aquarius

Signs Most Affected: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Capricorn

FINALLY. 

The information you’ve been waiting for is on it’s way to you. 

On Valentine’s Day Mercury transits from success driven Capricorn into big-ideas Aquarius making us hungry for knowledge and open to new ideas. This isn’t exactly a romantic placement for Mercury but is a useful one for approaching the facts Facts rule over emotions in your communications. Communications seem spontaneous if a bit fragmented. 

Progressive ideas and inventive thinking link arms this month. This is a good time to acknowledge or apologize for choices made with incomplete information and pick a new course forward. 

Sun in Aquarius

When: Jan. 19th 2022 - Feb. 18th Sun enters Aquarius

Signs Most Affected: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra

Intellectual focus and freedom-seeking intensify this month. 

Societal and social issues continue to grace the headlines and covers of magazines. Ambitions are stoked, transformation is called upon, and social justice movements continue forward. 

Pisces Season

When: Feb. 18th - Mar 19th Sun enters Pisces

Signs Most Affected: Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer

Altruism becomes a guiding principle for the ego. Motivations shift from long-term planning to intuitive listening. We are drawn to follow our passions and dreams.  

Your shadow self may wallow in self-pity and passivity. Do not allow elusiveness to derail your plans.   

Ask yourself:

What do I feel, imagine or dream?

What can my shadow teach me?

Venus Retrograde FINALLY comes to a close

When: Jan. 29th - March 5th

Signs Most Affected: Taurus, Libra

YEEHAW!

FREAKING FINALLY. 

Quick sidebar from the horoscope writer here: I don’t know about ya’ll but Venus in RX was BRUTAL to me this go-round so I am freaking DONE with that cycle of reflection, remembrance, and revising and I hope I never see another Venus retrograde as difficult as this one ever again!!! I know I’m not alone in that feeling either.

 Ya’ll, most of us experienced some massive ups and downs in our relationships over the last few months. 

Venus in Capricorn tends to raise the expectations of our relationships sky high. These sky-high expectations combined with the almost inescapable remembrance, rumination and reflection that accompanies retrogrades made this a challenging time for relationships. Basically, Venus retrogrades have a way of getting you, getting you mercilessly stuck in your head and your thoughts about your relationships, bringing exes back into your orbit, and bringing trial-by-fire style situations into your current relationships. 

So if you made it through without losing your lover, your best friend, or some other significant relationship in your life- congratulations you’ve got some keepers. 

If you experienced a break up, well here’s to having better luck next time, my friend.

Whatever the state of your relationships right now, give yourself a big hug and breathe a deep sigh of relief. Pat yourself on the back sweetie cause you did it gorgeous. You freaking survived the Venus RX! You are basically an unstoppable bad*ss. 

We’ve all just made it through an intense time for reassessing what we value, what we consider beautiful, what we find attractive, and what we consider desirable 

And while Capricorn makes for a very committed, if sometimes harsh administrator, doleing us out list after list of pros and cons in our relationships, remember that at its heart, Capricorn wants to help us choose something that will last. All it really wants is to help us figure out what kind of relationship(s) are sustainable for us in the long-haul.

When we are finally free of Venus’s post-retrograde shadow on March 1st, things will start looking up for all of us.

Venus and Mars Conjunction bring new love, true love, and potentially…sexual misconduct 

When: Feb. 16th, 2022 - Mars in Aquarius and Venus in Capricorn Conjunction

Signs Most Affected: Aquarius, Aries, Capricorn, Taurus, Libra, and those with significant Venus Mars conjunctions in their natal chart.

Alright y'all, time to make the most of your moment. 

This is the first of two mars and venus conjunctions. The second conjunction will occur on March 5th. This double conjunction is extremely rare and usually only happens one time, once every other year. Lucky for us, we'll get double the number of opportunities to align our drive, passions, hearts, love, and values this year. 

Worthy of note however is that although this prime moment to find new love, a new fling, a new thing, like most transits it’s also got a shadow side to it. What happens now lets you know what side of the line of light and dark you’re living on: do you live on the sunny side or the shadow side of life?

On the shadow side, Mars and Venus conjunctions can also be rife with sexual transgressions, affairs, sex scandals, and addictive romance. Basically, what can happen is that some people’s emotional and sexual desires have the potential to become entangled with their sense of purpose during this time. If that sounds familiar, tread carefully and be sure to get enthusiastic consent before getting flirty or frisky with anyone.

In short, those who are in touch with their spirit and reality have an opportunity to find new love this month. But those who are living from a place of self-sabotaging, addiction, and/or delusion may find themselves smack in the middle of danger. 

Masculine Mars will overtake feminine Venus this month and Venus will overtake Mars next month. Meaning that if you don’t get it quite right this go round…you’ll get an opportunity to take a more feminine approach next month. 

Ask yourself:

What would happen if I were to ask for consent?

What would happen if I were to align my heart with my driving purpose?

Pluto Return in Capricorn Reveals an Evolving Society and Challenges Societally Reinforced Gender Roles

When: February 20th, 2022

In February, Pluto, planet of the death, rebirth, power, and the soul, will return to the place it was when the USA was first forming in July of 1776. It was a time of societal restructuring, of shifting power and influence.

Now fast forward 225 years here we are again. 

A new generation is being born that will make fundamental changes to government laws at local, state, and federal level when they come into power. This generation will have zero tolerance for abuse of power. Although they may also fall prey to similar failures and may carry guilt from abuse of power in previous lives. Those that bear this transit often want power, and may define themselves based on their role or social position in society. 

Pluto returns for a nation often mean a time of extremes, of unlocked power, rebellion, secrets are revealed, and plans are made that will impact generations to come. 

Power will be seized, abused, lost, and regained during this time. 

Capricornian energy will seek to maintain the status quo of attaining power and recognition but will also come up against the ethically sustainable paradox of power: how does one wield power ethically and maintain ethical use of that power? How does one prevent the corruption of power over the long term?

The karmic lesson associated with Pluto in Capricorn is learning to let go of overidentification with culturally and systemically subjective ideologies of power, career, and status. All of which are subjective to the space and time in which they occur. At the end of the day, knowing who you are outside of your role in society is key to learning the karmic lesson of Pluto in Capricorn. We each must develop a personal authority and individuality that does not require society to tell us who we are. 

So how does an entire nation of people go about releasing attachment to power and to identities which require extrinsic societal approval? 

The answer is slowly, over the course of several generations. Which is why Pluto is the planet for the job. It takes time to evolve a culture. As individuals living in this society, we must learn to define ourselves outside of any societal role and individually seek to follow timeless ideologies. These ideologies which will be intuitively known to each of us if we have the courage to seek them. 

Pluto in Capricorn teaches us that having power and the security it offers are not inherently evil. But that over-identifying with power can lead to the path of evil. Ultimately, it is the choices we make and the actions we take that define us.

Luckily, Pluto return is here to show us that some of that we have evolved, we have come full circle. Making this an important time to celebrate our nation’s wins while also facing it’s shortcomings head on with determination, love and hope for the future in our hearts. 

Pluto In Capricorn and Societally Reinforced Gender Roles

The deconstruction of societal roles based on gender is a key karmic lesson the United States of America is in the process of learning right now. 

Pluto in Capricorn is very interested in the longevity and sustainability of society, wanting to ensure that whatever roles society plays can be sustained for generations to come. 

So when Capricorn notices unsustainable societal roles and ideals, such as the gender binary, it seeks to shift them into a more stabilized state. In this way, Pluto in Capricorn can help us to move away from binary understandings of gender to embrace the full gender spectrum, and improve gender equality across the nation. 

Of course, some may resist and try to maintain the status quo. And it may well take those souls another 225 years to evolve to the next level of their spiritual awakening as a result. Karmic law states that our souls do not all evolve at the same speed, and therefore some of us must be stuck learning the same lessons over and over until we learn to grow.

You see, according to some Karmic theories it’s thought that those born with Pluto in Capricorn have hit a spiritual evolutionary wall. 

Interestingly enough, to overcome this wall they must be reincarnated into another gender.

This reincarnation allows them to experience life from a differently gendered perspective. This is the soul’s way of rebalancing the Spirit’s yin and yang properties. For those in the U.S. this pluto return offers aid to our nation in making societal shifts around gender roles and balancing our feminine and masculine values.

Karma teaches this balancing lesson by blocking the path to power, career, and status until the lesson has been learned. 

Those with Pluto in the tenth house must develop their own individual ideologies and learn to scrutinize societal motives, desires, and values.

FYI: The USA’s Pluto in the tenth house of Capricorn means that the USA will one day fall from grace and lose its place as a world power. The law of karma says that the U.S. having this power taken away is necessary for the collective evolution of the nation to reorganize their values, self image and understanding of themselves. 

Jupiter Brings healing, change, and big thinking to February 

When: Feb. 11th - Jupiter semi-sextile Chiron, Feb. 17th - Jupiter sextile Uranus, Feb. 23rd - Jupiter semi-square Pluto

Jupiter in altruistic Pisces semi-sextiles Chiron, the wounded healer this month, broadening our horizons through education, new experiences, and spirituality and boosting our personal growth.

Jupiter also sextiles Uranus in Taurus this month bringing change, innovation, and new energies into the mix. Out-of-the-box approaches to having fun result in new opportunities and new connections. Especially if those new ways of having fun involve groups of people, writing, speaking, publishing or humanitarian efforts.

Jupiter, planet of luck and inspiration will also semi-square Pluto in hardworking Capricorn this month. Leading to big thinking, long term aspirations, overachieving, all-or nothing- efforts, a deepening of perspective, profound dreams, and obsessive tendencies. If it’s time for you to charge ahead, great! But be aware of moments when a more moderate approach may be more sustainable in the long run. 

Astrology is a Tool for Self Reflection

Astrology is a tool we can use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond to what’s happening both internally and externally in the world. It helps us pay attention to our physical and emotional states and opens us up to new ways of navigating our thoughts and actions.

Everything written here is meant to be used as a tool of reflection and self-awareness and not as a hard prediction of the future. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately we each must decide our own path in life.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Last monthly you felt an increased sense of personal ambition and began working on plans to add creative fire and passion into your daily life. 

This month your ruling planet Mars is in Aquarius, continuing your focus on responsibilities and career goals. The full moon in Leo, your fellow fire sign, illuminates your creative side, bringing about notable advancements in your passion-driven pursuits. 

A new job may appear on the horizon this month. 
You feel almost as though you are being pulled along by mission-driven forces you don’t completely understand. Intuition and spiritual peace are available to you this month. 

Once the Sun moves into altruistic Pisces on the 18th you’ll be looking for some R&R. Take the time. Doing the self care necessary to get your sh*t in order will boost your optimism and your outlook. Slow down the pace so you don’t burn out on your long-term goals. 

Aries Love Forecast: Listen. We’re all still recovering from Venus RX. It’s alright to not be 100% focused on the love train right now and instead be looking inward. If you’ve been unlucky in love recently it’s time to ask yourself: What is your toxic trait? Do you have habits that are holding you back from living as your highest self? You’ve got an opportunity to transform your relationships this month by looking inward and switching up your mindset. You have a unique connection to the world and to others, you have an almost instinctual protectiveness that you can use to make others feel loved. You've also got your eye on new friendships, new relationships, and group connections.

Aries 2022 Overview 

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

This is a good month for you sweet Taurus.  

Last month you weathered the Venus retrograde like a champ. 

You’ve been on a path of developing a strong sense of self and your confidence in your identity will help make this month an engaging, and productive time full of creativity. New channels of self expression are becoming available to you. Your passions may at times feel overwhelming this month, especially around the Venus and Mars conjunction. The energy of the conjunction might have you feeling a bit competitive so sweat it out with a foot race, wrestle your partner in bed, or play a favorite game with loved ones. On the 16th a turning point in your home and family life takes shape. 

Work and career areas look good for you this month. Step into your leadership, expand your horizons, and hone your personal drive. New people you meet now play a big role in your future. Promotions at work are imminent. But by the middle of the month when the sun moves into altruistic and sensitive Pisces you’ll be feeling your focus shift to expanding your horizons in your personal life whether that means shifting to a polyamorous relationship style, or simply being more open to connecting with others. 

Taurus Love Forecast: This month looks fortuitous for you Taurus. The Universe literally wants you to be happy. You’ve been working hard on growing and improving yourself and it shows. You’re done waiting for permission to fall in love, and you’re ready to be daring and wear your heart on your sleeve. You feel better equipped to ask for what you want than ever before. Trust that your honesty will pave the path forward. Friendships form quickly and spontaneously everywhere you go this month. Love can be found in adventure, extracurricular activities, through online dating, or in school. What are you doing still reading this? Get out there! Exciting new prospects await. 

Taurus 2022 Overview

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Dearest Gemini, last month you were addressing the power balance in your relationships. Your ruling planet, Mercury, is finally free of retrograde on the 3rd, but past poor money management may cause some tension anyway. Stick to your budget this month and have some fun with it by trying out being the penny pincher your great grandfather would have idolized. Or take up a (free) new topic of study this month to keep your brain sharp.

Recognize your many talents for the gifts they are. Your power lies in your behind the scenes approach to the situation right now. Collaboration on mutual goals fare well for you.

By the middle of the month Venus and Mars will both join in your relationship and intimacy center, causing you to experience intense emotions, attractions, and a desire for discovery. Outside relationships and your relationship to self are a key focus for you this month. Keep the mental health glow up glowing. Confront the darkness that lies within, heal the hidden parts that cry there in the night. Lifestyle changes are given a boost of energy for you this month.

The full moon brings some drama. But when the Sun moves into altruistic and sensitive Pisces on the 18th along with lucky planet Jupiter. From there on you’ll be golden and ready to tackle long-term business goals, responsibilities, setting boundaries, and restructuring your life. It’s also a good opportunity to show off all that you’ve accomplished and what you’re planning to achieve next.

Gemini Love Forecast: You’re finding it easier to express love this month. But stagnation in your relationships may have you feeling a bit burdened by longing. It may feel as if your craving for love is endless. Make sure to soothe your inner self with self love. BE HERE NOW sweet Gemini instead of taking the easy escape. If you’re partnered this Valentine’s Day may be spent more subdued that usual and financial difficulties may even bring rain to your relationships, but bring an umbrella and a picnic to share and you’ll make it through. 

Gemini 2022 Overview

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Tender Cancer, last month you practiced taking on a leadership role in your relationships…you also practiced crying…but hey, we get it, Venus RX was ROUGH. 

Well you’re in luck. This month feels a lot more straightforward than the path you’ve been on. This month you’re looking under the hood, diagnosing the mechanical failures in your life and in your relationships and getting comfy talking about shared finances, deep personal changes and more. 

The sun in Aquarius is making your mind WERK this month. Put it to good use. You are uniquely capable of acknowledging strengths, weaknesses and opportunities this month. You’re also doing great at mano y mano style brainstorming and creative sessions. So work out a time to sit down with a coworker, your best friend, or your partner and collaborate.

On the 18th when the Sun moves into your fellow water sign, passion lead and altruistic Pisces, you’ll be feeling adventurous and ready to reach beyond what is known to you. Take a break from routine and lean into your interests and passions especially if they involve learning, publishing, or promotion. 

Cancer Love Forecast: During Venus RX you discovered what it is you really want and need out of your relationships. Your new values will guide you as you make decisions about where to go from here. Deal with things head on and leave preconceived ideas and notions behind. You are magnetic this month, drawing others to you. Meetings seem to be…fated. You’re also craving some excitement so it’s time to get kinky in the bedroom and explore. There is an intensity of emotion this month that is familiar to you but can be problematic as well. Be weary of impulsiveness, or overidentifying with your relationship and losing yourself to addictive romantic patterns. 

Cancer 2022 Overview

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Sweet Leo, last month you strategized. 

This month you're helping, healing, and contributing to the world by channeling your passion into productive pursuits. You’re continuing on the theme of building a daily routine that supports your health and long-term goals. 

During the full moon in your sign and the days that follow, inspiration comes bursting through, new epiphanies, personal triumphs and new discoveries are possible in your love life, your life plan, your career, your health, and your entire outlook on life. 

Cultivating harmony within cultivates harmony without.  

By the end of the month you’ll be ready to take that inspiration, get creative and fine tune your plan for the path forward. 

Leo Love Forecast: Venus RX had you reflecting on your romantic life a lot. Romance takes center stage early on in the month. You’re likely to feel a deepened desire to connect with others this month. You shine when you can bounce your genius off another person in a conversation. Team spirit abounds for you everywhere you walk. And spending time with a partner or friend one-on-one brings in opportunities for self discovery this month. Remember if you want a relationship to last, you’ve got to put in the time, you can’t rush through things and expect them to last. It’s a marathon not a sprint. Be honest about what you want and what you’re feeling.

Leo 2022 Overview

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Amazing Virgo, last month your focus was on putting your energy into the right things but Mercury RX didn’t make it easy.

This month is kind of a critical one in your year, but you’re starting off on a bit of shaky ground, and it may take the first half of the month to get solid again. Instead of cursing at the slow pace of things, just accept it as a sign from the universe that you should use the time between the New moon and the full moon to rest and recharge. Go get a massage and chill. Really. Do. It. Taking time to care for yourself will have you feeling and looking good all month long, upping your motivation to achieve your goals and making you magnetic to the people around you.

The new moon in Aquarius gives you an opportunity to nurture new interests, leave old habits behind and make the lifestyle changes that make your heart and health feel cared for.

Be sure to make time for creative, spiritual, and imagination this month, especially around the full moon. Messages are coming to you from the beyond. Secrets are being revealed. Intuition and instinct commingle to bring you truth. There is a feeling of ‘fatedness’ that graces your personal connections this month. 

Virgo Love Forecast: Venus and Mars both illuminate areas of joy and pleasure for you this month. Your libido is running high, your passion is present, and the work you’ve done to be clear about your relationship expectations are paying off. Your communication game is leveling up and your relationships can level up with it. When the Sun moves into Pisces you’ll be feeling ready to pour fourth love from your overflowing cup. Strong and intelligent people are drawn to you during the last ten days of the month. Take pride in the circle you are manifesting. 

Virgo 2022 Overview 

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Hey you, flirtatious Libra. 

Last month you were deciding what to do with the truths that were revealed to you by Venus retrograde. 

This month your ruling planet, loving Venus has finally exited retrograde. The Venus and Mercury RX’s have impacted you more than most. And you may have been feeling a lack of motivation to move in the direction of your heart's desire. But fear not this month shift out of retrograde also shifts your energy in a big way. Venus now enters into it’s post retrograde shadow period and you’ll be feeling lighter and clear headed as a result so you’ll be moving forward with your decisions and starting to get some traction this month. Spend time improving your surroundings this month and making your home and office beautiful. Decorate your shelves.

And on the 14th when Mercury moves into your fellow air sign Aquarius, it will be like the gates of communication have been flung wide open. And you’ll be feeling motivated to lead the conversation in your relationships and assert your desires.

The full moon on the 16th brings a turning point in a friendship or project for you. This full moon is about being true to you and to others. Your innermost needs require courageous exploration. Ask for help if you need it. 

When the Sun joins Jupiter in a Piscean paradise on the 18th you’ll be feeling inspired to up your self care game. Get the most our of your self care this month by addressing your working conditions, improving your habits and tackling ambitious health goals. Improvements in your work life seem to come out of ‘nowhere’ this month, thank your Karma. 

By the time March rolls around and your ruling planet goes fully direct you’ll be feeling like a leaf floating on the breeze.

Libra Love Forecast: The new moon awakened a seductive energy in you this month. And your passion will reach its peak during the Venus and Mars conjunction on the 12th, making for a steamy Valentine’s Day you’ll never forget. Just remember, when you’re in love there is no need to hide, be honest about what you want. It’s good to be independent but don’t let your fear of codependency get in the way of you crafting beautiful relationships that feed your heart. When you find the right balance you won’t have to choose between personal freedom and relationship. Ask yourself: what does interdependence mean to me? 

Libra 2022 Overview

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Dear Scorpio, last month you realized that opening yourself up to others is key to building sustainable relationship foundations. This month you’re taking a hands-on approach to communications, creativity, learning and self-expression.  

The new moon brings you a fresh start with your home and family. Boost your feelings of security by taking leadership in conversations about your creative and romantic goals. You are dripping with passion this month. Good energy motivates you to finish up half-completed projects. Collaborate on a project with a partner or friend to strengthen your attachments. Learn something new together if you can. 

On the Leo full Moon, you’ll see the culmination of a project you’ve been working on and receive the recognition you deserve. You may also have a sudden intuitive understanding of your true calling in life. Take responsibility of your dreams. 

When the Sun moves into your fellow water sign, altruistic Pisces on the 18th your powers of seduction, persuasion, and perception will become especially heightened. This will help you express love more outwardly, connect to others, and extend thoughtful gestures that are reciprocated.

Scorpio Love Forecast: Stop running from your innate power Scorpio. What you want from your relationships may be more intense than some people can handle but that means those people aren’t for you. Just be sure you aren’t doing that thing where you set unrealistic expectations and end up pushing people away because you are frustrated and dejected. Putting all of our needs into one basket puts a lot of pressure on our partners. So meet your lovers halfway if you can. Communicate clearly and don’t be afraid to reimagine the rules of dating and mating for yourself. 


Scorpio 2022 Overview

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Truth-seeking Sagittarius, last month you got in touch with your inner ambition and inner softness and discovered that the two were not mutually exclusive. This month, you will build on your power, energy, and drive. 

Your mind is curious this month and lines of connection, travel, communication, and learning are opening up to you as a result. You’ll be doing lots of exploring related to your creativity, business ventures, and home improvements. 

There is an increased enjoyment of all you do this month that is here to support and motivate you as you build-whatever it is you’re building this month. Be sure to invite others in to help you accomplish your goals, sharing a task can be an excellent bond strengthening activity. 

The new moon brings you some faulty messaging, but the full moon in your fellow fire sign, leadership-oriented Leo, on the 16th brings the truth to light. A confrontation may occur. Be careful not to gossip until you know the full story or you’ll create unnecessary drama for those around you. 

When the Sun moves into Pisces on the 18th, your focus will shift to putting down roots and your home life. Embrace daily routine with positivity and push yourself to change your routines to feed your heart. 

Sagittarius Love Forecast: You are in a building mode this month and your desire to nurture and foster connection is strong. You may even consider adopting a furry friend or a child this month. Your platonic relationships are strengthened this month. Nurture your soul connections. This month surround yourself with platonic love and soul connections. Know that you don’t need another person to feel whole but it sure does feel nice to have someone to talk to and someone to share touch and love with.

Sagittarius 2022 Overview

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Dear hardworking Capricorn, last month your confidence was shining through, even if it was a bumpy ride, the steering wheel was in competent hands. This month you’re seeking personal fulfillment, comfort, additional resources, and satisfying conversations. 

Venus, Mars and Vesta are all in your sign this month, boosting your motivation to cross off your to-do list. Just be sure to approach things softly, as you may have been a bit, well, prickly recently. You can achieve great things with a softer tone, and a slower pace. 

You are magnetic this month, drawing a sense of purpose, pride, and joy to you everywhere you go. You push boundaries without breaking them, and express yourself from a place of deep truth and authenticity. 

The Venus Mars conjunction brings some impulsivity to your chart as well as increased intimacy, sharing, and shifting power dynamics. 

The full Moon in Leo brings up long buried feelings related to personal ownership, power, and finances. You may experience sudden inspiration about how to address these things. 

When the Sun enters altruistic Pisces you’ll be focusing on engaging your mind, staying busy, and channeling a more authentic version of self expression. 

Capricorn Love Forecast: This month you’re facing shifting power dynamics, feelings related to sharing, intimacy, and ownership head on. If money is an issue in your relationship, you’re better off naming it now. An inferiority complex and hidden resentments about material possessions will only hinder your relationships. Get real with your partner if something about your relationship feels out of balance. You can mend anything with the right materials. Try collaborative decision making instead of going your own way. 

Capricorn 2022 Overview

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Happy Birthday, Aquarius!

Last month your individuality shined through, and this month, you’re turning over a new leaf and focusing in on your personal spheres of relaxation, retreat, and healing. This is a slowing down period of reorienting yourself as Jupiter helps you build on on exciting new discoveries you made last month. This month, you resolve issues around your finances, home life, and self-worth. Invest in your safety and comfort where you can. You are feeling proactive so build something you would love to see last. 

During the Leo full moon on the 16th do behind the scenes work, get creative, and reflect on how you spend your love and money. Observe the world around you. You may find renewed inspiration and receive new information in regards to your home life, feelings, and those that are close to you. 

By the last week of the month you’ll be feeling very practical and balanced. Your mind may be busy, however so take some time to relax so you have the stamina for busier times that await you. 

Aquarius Love Forecast: Your ability to care for others is a gift to yourself and to all those around you. This month you’re discovering that your feelings and desires go even deeper than you thought and you’ll be finding your voice this month to do them justice. Sudden realizations about your relationships are arriving. Listen. Find your path to freedom through music and interpersonal connection this month. Merge your song with another and observe lyrical beauty that follows. Find your synchronicity with those around you and share your world-changing ideas with those you love this month. 

Aquarius 2022 Overview

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Happy Birthday, Pisces!

last month you took some time to appreciate the view from where you’re standing. This month you’re leaning into freedom of expression, moving forward with your interests, and re-orienting yourself to being more open to connection in March. 

Venus and Mars illuminate your social life this month making you more confident and outgoing than usual putting you in high demand from your friends and family. Although your inner world is also swimming with so much inspiration it can be tempting to remain withdrawn. Try to find a balance between resting and socializing that works for you. New friendships align by mid-February. 

You’re full of creative ideas for future projects this month. And your focus is on looking forward to the future. There is a strong sense of increased freedom for you. And a lifting of rigidness in your areas of study and communications. Exchange ideas with others and reap the rewards.

The full Moon in Leo brings a turning point in your health or work. Try to be flexible with the changes. 

The Sun enters your sign on the 18th, increasing the amount of attention and energy coming your way. You’ll be opening up a little to it this month, but still being protective of your ‘me’ time. This is a good time to put your altruistic nature to use and align yourself with a worthy cause. Leave behind any prior friendship drama and live in the now. 

Pisces Love Forecast: I don’t know what it is about you this month Pisces, but you seem to shy away from some of the best and most spontaneous parts of falling in love in favor of living in a fantasy world. It’s okay to have a fantasy of what you want, but just be careful that you aren’t doing that thing where you compare your lovers to past lovers and end up repeating old patterns of relationship instead. Instead of trying to ‘rekindle’ the fire, build a new fire and pay attention to where it wants to go. Be honest about what you expect in a relationship and be the leader in writing a new path forward in your relationships. Share your passion with others, share what causes you care deeply about, believe in the connective power of building something together. You can create whatever change you want to see in your relationships, but you can’t change something by refusing to talk about it.

Your Zodiac Sign's January 2022 Horoscopes and Predictions for the New Year

Welcome to another cycle of the Earth around the Sun. This month we explore what 2022 has in store for the stars and for all twelve zodiac signs and it would seem that in 2022 the Stars are pushing us to rebuild our lives and societies on a foundation of love, healing, and harmony.

Hello Dear Readers,

Welcome to another cycle of the Earth around the Sun. This is a challenging but rewarding year of personal and global transformation. In 2022 we begin the work of rebuilding social structures and envisioning daily routines and value systems that reflect who we want to be.

2022 Astrological Predictions

Year of the Water Tiger

In Chinese Astrology, 2022 is the Year of the Water Tiger. It will be a year of extremes, of fortunes made and lost. The water element supports our health and vitality, feeding and healing our life force. It is also a time of extreme water weather events as climate extremes continue to ramp up.

2022 Numerology Brings in Love & Beauty

2022 is a '6' year in numerology. (2+0+2+2 = 6)

Six is the number of love, beauty, marriage, cooperation, co-parenting, childbirth, the heart chakra. (It is potentially a baby boom year and a relationship-oriented year.) Everything that happens this year is about teaching us how to recognize beauty and love in our life and to solidify the importance and impact of individual personal happiness on society. Understanding our interconnectedness and caring for our hearts is vital to pushing forward global improvements this year. In other words: your happiness is essential to the happiness of others and vice versa. Compromises of the self, making yourself a martyr, harm not only yourself but those around you as well in 2022.

The Stars Push Us to Rebuild Our Lives and Societies on a Foundation of Love, Healing, and Harmony In 2022 

For the last two years, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto have taken us on a path that has altered the course of our lives forever. It has been a time of unrest, division, secrets revealed, discourse, judgment, and sides chosen. So in some ways, what we have experienced is akin to a great trial of humanity before the Universal heart and mind.

Now, as January begins, the trial ends, and the verdict is read and it is not what we thought. Now is the time when we discover that we have all been found guilty and innocent. For though our minds may be full of madness- our hearts, no matter how battered, still know how to love. 

So, where do we go from here? 

Some will go to lock-up, found guilty of crimes against their fellow humans or their nation. Some will stand and weep over what has been lost. Some will wander. But most of us, having endured the trials and tribulations of the last two years, will be ready to return home to our hearts and spirits to rekindle love in 2022.

Upon walking into our hearts, we can see the scars on the walls, the cracks in the foundation that went too long ignored. As we return home to love our hearts we face our flaws head-on and we set to the work of reconstruction and healing at once, using our strengths, talents, and innate desire to give and receive love to guide us. 

2022 is to be a time of gathering our communities, families, and lovers to us and build a new life together based on a foundation of love. We are ready to gather the hands necessary to move the stones from the fields; to grind the stone into mortar, and to mix the mortar for a new foundation. 

This Year’s Top Astrological Themes

Venus Retrograde Rings in the Year and Roughs Up Our Relationships

When

  • Dec. 19th- Jan. 29th - Venus retrogrades in Capricorn.

  • Jan. 11th-15th Venus Rx conjuncts black hole

Signs most affected: Taurus, Libra, Capricorn. 

Venus in Capricorn raises the expectations of our relationships sky high.

These high expectations combined with Venus in retrograde (which causes us to reassess what we value, find beautiful, attractive, and desirable) make this a particularly difficult time for relationships. Cracks in relationship foundations may be revealed. And our desire intensifies for deeper and more meaningful relationships. Relationships that don’t 'make the cut' when it comes to aligning with our values will likely come to an end in January. 

Venus Rx in Capricorn also conjuncts a black hole in Capricorn in January, bringing intensified rumination and reflection on our use of seduction powers and past addictive romances. 

What to Expect: Texts from an ex, chance grocery store meetings with past lovers, couple arguments about shared goals, affairs, break-ups, heart to hearts, etc... 

How to work with this transit

Venus RX is an excellent time for self-reflection and making revisions. Practice the 3 R's of Retrograde: Remember, Reflect, Revise. Your wounded heart feels called to heal old wounds, to envision your healing's impact on the next generation’s future and more. It can be useful to share positive and negative feedback together. Know how to balance positive and negative feedback by engaging your curiosity and your compassion. Meditate on the feeling of appreciation, not thoughts of appreciation, but the actual feeling of it. You can train yourself to react using your values instead of a wounded reflex.

Venus retrograde periods are considered inopportune moments for getting married, starting new relationships or financial undertakings.

Venus Star Points; Venus and Mars Conjunction Bring New Love, True Love

When

  • Jan. 8th - Venus Star Point

  • Oct. 22nd -Venus Star Point

  • Feb. 16th - Mars in Aquarius and Venus in Capricorn Conjunction

  • Mar. 5th. - Mars in Aquarius and Venus in Aquarius Conjunction

Signs most affected: Taurus, Libra, Aries, Leo

After starting the year with Venus in retrograde, you’ll be happy to hear that there will be lots of opportunities for new and true love in 2022.

The Sun and Venus align to create a special ‘Venus Star Point’, allowing for more authentic values and connections to be expressed in our relationships. Star Point days are also very opportune moments for finding or rekindling our 'true love.' 

Mars in Aquarius and Venus conjunct TWICE this year! This conjunction is rare and usually only happens once every other year. Lucky for us, we'll get double the number of opportunities to align our drive, passions, hearts, love, and values this year. 

What to Expect: Twin flames are reunited, true love is found or rekindled, passion projects are undertaken, hearts open, love triumphs, etc.

An Extra Mercury Retrograde

When

  • Jan. 14th - Feb. 3rd in Aquarius and Capricorn

  • May 10th - June 3rd in Gemini and Taurus

  • Sept. 9th - Oct. 2nd in Libra and Virgo 

  • Dec. 29th - Jan. 18th, 2023 in Capricorn

Signs most affected: Air signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. And Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.

This year we get four mercury retrogrades instead of the standard three. 

I think we can all agree this is not ideal. 

And when the first Mercury Rx hits us in January, it almost feels like the Universe is rubbing the proverbial 'salt' in the wound.

How to work with this year's four Mercury RXs: This year the Rx's are all in Air and Earth signs. The Rx's in Air signs will revolutionize your self-image and social life. Reflecting on it you find that changing yourself to fit into society leaves you feeling empty and depowered. Now is the time to reflect on the ways in which you naturally feel inclined to rebel against societal norms. It's time to give up old facades. Ego-centered and material-based conversations may ignite during the Earth sign retrogrades. 

If miscommunications and travel difficulties arise, keep your cool. True communication doesn’t set a goal of winning or losing. True communication is about curiosity and creating mutual understanding. This is not a good time to burn your bridges in the heat of the moment, even if you think it will feel good to let the fire loose. Humans need each other, especially this year. A lack of cooperation between you and your community does both you and those around you a disservice. 

Taurus and Scorpio Sister Sign Eclipses 

When

This eclipse cycle began on November 19th, 2021, and will continue throughout 2022 and into 2023. 

  • April 30th -Partial Socal Eclipse in Taurus

  • May 16th -Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio

  • Oct. 25 -Partial Solar Eclipse Scorpio

  • Nov. 8th -Total Lunar Eclipse in Taurus

  • May 5th, 2023 - Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio

  • Oct. 28th, 2023 Lunar Eclipse in Taurus

Signs most affected: Scorpio, Taurus.

Eclipses always fall on a new or full moon and are considered to be super-charged versions of those lunar events. Eclipses mean intensity, big feelings, big shifts, and big changes.

Eclipses in the fixed sign of Taurus indicate shifts around structures, daily routines, and responsibilities associated with sensuality, material needs, financial security, and bodily autonomy. 

  • Use the eclipses in Taurus to get your new green sustainable business a boost, ditch the social media time for cuddle time, and get in touch with your senses.

Eclipses in the fixed sign of Scorpio mean shifts around structures, daily routines, and responsibilities associated with sex, power, repressed emotions, and hidden knowledge. 

  • Use the eclipses in Scorpio to manifest sexiness, tap into your soul’s desires, embrace your resourcefulness, adapt and flow. 

Saturn in Aquarius

When

Saturn, the planet of rules, structure, limits, and authority, entered Aquarius in 2020 and will be there until March of 2023. 

Signs most affected: This is a tough and challenging time full of slow growth cycles for: Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio.

In 2022 Saturn in Aquarius will continue to challenge traditional ways of doing things while awakening us to innovation and the reality of what people can accomplish together, especially when it comes to building new technologies, expanding worldwide education and understanding. 

Jupiter and Neptune Swim Together in a Pisces Paradise

When

Jupiter is in Pisces until May 2022, and Neptune is in Pisces until 2026. 

  • 2/22/2022 Neptune is at 22 degrees.

  • February 18th Sextile Jupiter in Pisces and Uranus in Taurus. Seize opportunities that come this day.

  • April 12th Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces. Transcend to find your meaning and purpose in life.

  • May 3rd Sextile Jupiter in Pisces Pluto in Capricorn. A good day for leaning into your personal authority and making new proposals.

Signs most affected: Pisces, Sagittarius.

These two planets are joining up in the water kingdom for salty daydreamy days, expanding our ability to heal, open our hearts, embrace optimism and to connect with others.  

Neptune and Jupiter in Pisces allows our spiritual imagination and healing powers to awaken so that we can learn to know our higher selves. This knowingness of our higher selves allows us to hold on to our sense of compassion, opening us up to curiosity, creativity, spirituality, and intuitive inspiration. 

During this time we turn to our subconscious for answers and embrace our softness, compassion, and psychic visions. Messages and inspiration flow easily and endlessly in the form of symbols, visions, and dreams. 

How to work with this transit: Neptune plays a crucial role in 2022, so in some sense, your future depends on your ability to express empathy and compassion during this time. Attune to your higher self and engage in the mindful and meaningful introspection. Some may experience this transit as an increased desire to escape reality rather than heal it. Those prone to delusions may find their pull strengthened. My advice? Instead of living in a delusion make your reality worth living in. It’s a good time to get a tarot reading, take a guided journey to the end of the universe, attend a Mt. Adam’s Buddhist Temple meditation, read the Qabalah or the Tao te Ching, study the Tarot, seek life coaching and astrological guidance and practice Yoga. It’s also a good time to or experience the wisdom available in somatic embodiment experiences (learn more here and here). 

Pluto in Capricorn: The United States of America has its Pluto Return

When: Feb. 20th, 2022

This is a once-in-a-lifetime transit that we will never see again.

Pluto returns give us clues as to where our nation is on its karmic path. It is a time when the karmic wheel spills out threefold the lessons that we have to learn. In this way, a nation's Pluto return marks the end of one evolutionary cycle and the beginning of the next. 

Pluto, the planet of the soul, karma, power, death, the underworld, destruction, and rebirth, has been in and out of Capricorn since 2008 and it will return to the EXACT place it was when the USA was first formed in 1776 in February of 2022.

The Karmic Path of the United States of America

What to Expect: Painful secrets about power and death are revealed during a Pluto return. This is necessary so that deep inner transformation can begin.  

We saw this fully in 2020 and 2021, which both brought massive political division in the United States as leaders of a two-party system battled for power and pushes for social, racial, and gender equality forged ahead. These past few years have put our nation’s commitment to its ideals of equality, inclusion, and freedom for all on trial in every home and in every newspaper. 

The past few years have called global attention to the cracks in the nation's moral foundation. And the nation and the world are still reeling from these events. 

The U.S. has it’s North Node in Leo, the sign of ego and leadership, making it seem almost destiny that the U.S. would be a leader on the world playing field. 

However, according to karmic theory, it is the karmic destiny of nations that have their Pluto in Capricorn to one day fall from grace and lose their place as a world power. 

To understand the United States karmic path, we must understand that every nation is built on a philosophy that becomes institutionalized and politicized. The USA was founded on a philosophy of religious freedom which has been institutionalized and politicized and evolved into free-market capitalism. This raisies the question of how does one align such a diverse nation with the heart of the philosophy it was built on? 

Those born with Pluto in the tenth house must develop their own ideologies and learn to scrutinize societal desires and structures, or they may become prone to abuse of power. The question that plagues the soul of a nation with Pluto in Capricorn is that of: Who am I without my job, my power, my societal role, my house and all it’s luxuries, my reputation, and recognition? How can I be okay without those things? How can being okay with or without those things make me more secure in myself?

The U.S. is certainly not unique in its struggle to balance its ideals with its desire to accomplish more, to be more, to do more, to accumulate more power and security. And with such big questions left unanswered, perhaps the U.S. fall from grace is necessary for the nation to learn its karmic lesson. But ultimately where the nation goes from here is up to us. The only question is are we willing to integrate what we’ve learned so that we can rebuild and become the best version of ourselves?

Additional transits to consider in January

Lunar Cycle Brings A Range of Emotions to January

When 

  • Jan. 2nd - New Moon in Capricorn,

  • Jan. 23rd - Moon and black hole in Libra conjunction

  • Jan. 27th - Full moon in Cancer

  • Mo. 31 Jan 31. 9:49 PM New Moon (Aquarius)

Signs most affected: Capricorn, Cancer

On the New Moon: Your self-discipline is primed. Set practical, achievable long-term goals.

On the Full Moon: Your compassion, sensitivity, and caring are heightened. Complex emotions swim in your subconscious. Seek comfort and catharsis. Celebrate and assess what you’ve managed to achieve. Cry if you need to. 

On the Moon Black Hole Conjunction: It could be difficult to gain control of your emotions and desires on this day, especially as they pertain to your relationships. Try to wait it out before making any big decisions or you might end up engaging in an affair or break up that you’ll regret later on. 

Capricorn to Aquarius Season

When 

  • Dec. 21st-Jan. 20th - Sun in Capricorn

  • Jan. 19th- Feb 18th, Sun in Aquarius

  • Jan. 7th, 10th, 13th - Sun conjuncts black holes in Capricorn

  • Jan. 24th - Sun conjuncts black hole in Aquarius

Signs most affected: Capricorn, Aquarius, Taurus 

Intellectual focus and freedom-seeking intensify this month. Capricorn likes to get things done. They embrace the feelings that come with achievement and their clear focus can help them embrace many creative routes to achieving their goals. Honest communication, attention to detail, and accelerated self-improvement abound during Capricorn season. 

Capricorn takes the long view. Capricorn asks: Does it grow corn? How do we grow enough corn to feed the next seven generations? Now is a good time to take the long view and invest in the future. Commit to exercising the body in ways that enrich your life, your health, and your wellbeing.

Capricorn transitions easily into Aquarius season as we begin to put our innovative abilities to the test. Societal and social issues continue to grace the headlines and covers of magazines. Ambitions are stoked, transformation is called upon, and social justice movements continue forward. 

Black Hole Conjunction Advice: These black hole conjunctions may cause struggles between a need for outside validation and a need for inner reflection to determine your sense of self or purpose in the world. Reflect on what you are giving your energy to. Is what you get in return worth the cost? Or are you sinking all your energy into a bottomless black hole?

Astrology is a Tool for Self Reflection

Astrology is a tool we can use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond to what’s happening both internally and externally in the world. It helps us pay attention to our physical and emotional states and opens us up to new ways of navigating our thoughts and actions.

Everything written here is meant to be used as a tool of reflection and self-awareness and not as a hard prediction of the future. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately we each must decide our own path in life.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Last month you realized that you instinctively know what’s important to you.

You start this month feeling ambitious and ready to work your butt off to achieve your goals. Set realistic goals and prepare to dedicate yourself to long-term solutions. The road ahead is full of challenging moments this month. Find a way to add some passion into your daily life. Working in some joy and a sense of purpose into your routine will keep you motivated and aligned to your higher purpose.

Aries 2022 Overview: Life may come slowly this year. Focus on being patient. Academic pursuits are stalled for Aries this year. Redirect your energies into leveling up your spiritual life and prioritizing self-care and health. There is lots of learning in finances, career, and income possibilities awaiting you. Explore them if you can. Your love life may be full of roses or thorns in 2022. Don’t agree to mariage unless you’re 10000% SURE.

Aries 2021 Overview 

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Last month you realized that you can grant yourself permission to be powerful. 

This month your ruling planet Venus is retrograde, making everything feel a bit like a grueling finals exam in your relationships. Will they pass the test or fold under pressure? Regardless, it's important to have a sense of self outside of your relationships. You need a sense of purpose to be happy. Delve deeper into what makes your work feel meaningful. Follow it down the rabbit hole to where your purpose lies. Release old thinking routines by recognizing the ways in which they’ve held you back. Align your mindset to be stronger, more resilient, and a better fit with your new goals. 

Mercury Rx Advice: Stay true to your higher self. Don't fall into a pattern of old bad behaviors during the Mercury RX this month.

Taurus 2022 Overview: This is a year of intense personal growth. Luck is on your side this year. Focus on being independent. It’s a good time for releasing old ailments and improving fitness and health. You earn profits with the help of your partner this year but you'll want to assess property purchases and other large investments VERY carefully first.

Taurus 2021 Overview

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Last month you integrated lessons you’d learned from the past two years.

And this month is all about finding the power balance in your relationships. Find a way to take the lead without taking too much control. The Venus and Mercury retrograde may have you feeling a bit sensitive towards your past and prickly towards others. Try not to be too harsh with yourself and others. Look beneath the surface. What has your heart learned from it’s past experiences? What long-held values have you kept? What values need realigning? What does success feel like? How can you achieve your goals in a way that is satisfying to your spirit and your wallet?

Gemini 2022 Overview: Focus on being organized. It is an action-oriented year in which you reach for the stars. Shoot for the moon, reach for the stars, fire up your plane and FLY. But be sure to accept the fame that naturally comes next with grace. Be humble. The more well-known you become, the further your reach and the more polite you should be in your communications. Especially becuase you may experience sudden rises and falls in income this year and you'll want to get help from family and friends with your finances. 

Other 2022 Themes for Gemini:

  • You are what you eat, your stomach is a second brain. What are you feeding it?

  • True love is out there waiting for you. Marriage or rekindling of a long-term commitment are in the cards for you in 2022.

Gemini 2021 Overview

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Last month you strengthened your intuition and realized that you know when something feels right…or wrong.

This month your ruling planet the Moon has it’s rebirth in Gemini, making it a good time to set your intentions and take on a leadership role and model the communication style you’d like to have in your relationships. Practice communicating with your loved ones in the love languages that they most understand. If the Mercury retrograde messes up some of your communications don't worry to much. Breath and remember that practice makes perfect. 

The Moon waxes full in it’s home sign of Cancer this month bringing catharsis for the complex emotions that have been swimming in your subconscious. Your compassion, sensitivity, and caring are heightened. Seek comfort. Cry if you need to. Release old dreams and memories this month to make space for new ones. Get real with yourself if you’re still holding on to unrealistic expectations of partnership. Time to let what’s been holding you back go. 

Cancer 2022 Overview: Focus on building and expressing confidence this year. Set small achievable goals for yourself and your projects. Financial options and investments are laid out in clear black and white for you this year and Cancer's health outlook is good. In addition, a fresh breeze seems to grace your love life, lightning things up or opening you up to new possibilities. Your parents may oppose your love match, but you don’t need their approval for your love to be real. Let time do the talking for you.

Cancer 2021 Overview

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Last month you realized embraced that your worth goes beyond the recognition you’ve received. 

The month starts off with your ruling planet, the Sun in ambitious Capricorn, giving you a leg up on your personal goals and your New Year’s resolutions. Make a plan this month and stick to it. Last-minute, winging it may have worked in the past but empires aren’t built on a whim. Long-term goals require long-term organizational structures. Buy a planner, make a to-do list and start checking things off. Make the most of a busy schedule by merging activities with building relationships when you can: i.e., merge social time and exercise time by going on a run with a friend or turn running errands into a date with a significant other. 

Leo 2022 Overview: It’s an action-oriented year for you and life has no dress rehearsal. Your time on the stage is what you make it. This year is about finding your balance in your personal and work life. Try to spend your money in places that invest in your future rather than indulging in excess. Leo's love outlook is good this year and long-term love is in the cards. Focus on listening in your relationships. Talking only takes you so far in communication. Listening and understanding others takes you the rest of the way.  

Leo 2021 Overview

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Last month you leaned into your ability to relate to others intuitively.

Now this month is all about making sure you’re putting your energy into the right things. You’ll know you're doing things right what you find yourself feeling optimistic about the future. Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde in the middle of the month, causing missent texts, emails and time taveling thoughts and ruminations on your past relationships. Don’t let overthinking spiral out of control, as it will distract you from your goals. Beware of the allure of shiny new things this month. Old friends, long-term relationships, and chosen family should be your priority this month. Old friends can fit as well as old boots for a reason. 

Virgo 2022 Overview: Many ups and downs lie ahead. A change of mood is necessary to weather the tides with grace. Be clear and make your choice about what you want intellectually and materialisticly for this year. Good fortunes grace those who have been working towards financial security. Focus on being optimistic. Level up your spiritual life and you may find that good humor that has an almost child-like quality may come into your life. Virgo has lots of opportunities to enjoy love this year. Marriage is in the cards for your sign.

Virgo 2021 Overview 

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Last month illusions were lifted from your eyes and foundational issues at home were revealed. This month you’re deciding how to respond to the truth that’s been revealed.

If you’re in a relationship: Yikes. Your ruling planet Venus, planet of love and beauty continues it’s retrograde in Capricorn this month, meaning your relationships have taken a beating of three at this point. Venus in Capricorn has made your expectations in your relationships sky high and has really upped the pressure a bit as you try to figure out whether you and your partner’s values still align. Where do you connect? Where do you balance each other? If something is foundationally unfair in your relationship can it be fixed?

If you’re single: You are reconsidering what you desire this month. Milestones are approaching. Emotional cycles are ending. Let go of old ways of being and welcome in the new. It’s a good month for career and work-related themes. Get the most out of it by living in the flow of one moment to the next. One project ends, the next begins. Follow your heart over material success in your endeavors. Follow your gut but be sure to balance your needs and the needs of others. 

Libra 2022 Overview:  Focus on being decisive when making tough decisions. Once you have all the necessary information available, make a decision and move forward. Rely on your instinct to guide you. The year gets off to a weird start in love, some miscommunications haunt your relationships but new opportunities arise later on. As far as health goes, you are more aware of your sense of self and your anxiety this year. Good. Now that you have learned to notice it you can learn how to comfort it as well. Work may feel monotonous this year. It is a critical year for Libra in the realm of finances and investments. Be cautious in your spending in the first half of the year and the second half will be more solid and secure. You’ll have the opportunity to cross off a bucket list item, or finally go through with a fun trip or plan you’ve always dreamed of this year. Your proclivity for experimentation and your capacity for fun is a gift, enjoy it.

Libra 2021 Overview

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Last month you went cleared away blocks that held you back from your goals and faced existential questions about family and the home. So you’ll be glad to hear that this month your ruling planets, Mars and Pluto, are in the signs of Sagittarius and Capricorn this month, giving you mental fortitude and strength to push forward.

However, the Mercury retrograde that begins in the middle of the month could throw you for a spin. Misunderstandings abound. Allow yourself only one minute to feel regret, then move on. Focus on what you can control and let go of anything outside your scope. Explore your feelings with self-reflection without letting them control you. Let go of outside influences that cloud your vision of self. Know that opening yourself up to others is key to building a relationship foundation that can hold you for years to come. Your heart can not live locked away in a vibranium lined case forever. This kind of protection is only a delusion. Wear your heart on your sleeve and let it breathe, notice how others are drawn to the softness of your being in those moments. Follow your instincts.

Scorpio 2022 Overview: This is a defining year of personal transformation for you. Past kind and unkind deeds return to you karmically this year. Focus on being forgiving. Forgive yourself and others. Let go of old grudges and old storylines. There is an ease in your daily routine. In terms of health, your anxiety may be high this year. Be confident and accept your faults with grace. In terms of work, progress is made in the areas of learning and career. Children are looking to you for mentorship and wisdom. 

Scorpio 2021 Overview

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Last month destiny touched you and you burned and were reborn like a Phoenix form the flame.

This month your ruling planet Jupiter is in Pisces until May, getting you in touch with your nostalgia, softness, your compassion, and your healing powers. You find that you instinctively know things. You have visions of the future and the past this month. Mercury retrograde may lead to others misinterpreting your vision- try not to let it make you feel insecure or to take it personally. You are gifted with clear sight, and not everyone is. You want to be more and to do more in the coming year. So get your routine in order and make sure it is supporting your long-term goals. Look to the future this month. Take small steps towards your material goals even if others don’t get it. This is your life, you have a right to experience it in the way that feels right for you. Your power, energy, and drive are building this month. 

Sagittarius 2022 Overview: Focus on being patient. There is a deepening in relationships that have taken years to build in 2022 and you have good luck in finances. A new inheritance or a change of household is likely. 2022 is a time for daring adventures for Sagittarius. Pursue in the direction of your joy. Make a wish, and it may be granted. Love is everywhere waiting for you.

Sagittarius 2021 Overview

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Happy Birthday Capricorn!

Last month you realized that you are ready to start a new chapter in your life. 

You’ll be glad to hear that the Sun is in your sign this month, boosting your confidence and shining a bright light on your personality. Your ruling planet Saturn is in Aquarius until 2023, causing some core values to shift. Explore yourself. Discover the many versions of yourself that exist, those that have been, those that are, and those that will be. You have a natural drive to be the best version of yourself, embrace it. Let go of a desire to control or manage other's personal development. Focus on what you can control and change. Venus in retrograde may cause relationship trouble for you this month. As you focus inward, your relationships may change. This can look like your partner growing with you or growing apart from you. Trust the cycles of partnership and loneliness or coupling and uncoupling in your life. Sometimes things end so that you can focus on your personal evolution.

Capricorn 2022 Overview: Focus on being social. Old friends bring deep joy and cheerfulness into your life. New friends arrive but it will take time to deepen those relationships. Show gratitude for friendships new and old. Second chances in love arise. Sweat out your stress at the gym or on the trail. Children look to you for guidance and wisdom. Plan your financial future and carry out your vision.

Capricorn 2021 Overview

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Happy Birthday Aquarius!

Last month you got comfortable with endings and new beginnings.

This month the Sun moves into your sign, shining a bright light on your individuality and giving you a boost of confidence. Early in the month, focus on getting your daily routine into a healthy flow so that when Mercury retrograde hits on the 14th, you’ll have something to lean on when communications get difficult. Your nostalgia threatens to pull you into delusions and hold you back from achieving your goals this month. Remember you live always, in the present, not the past, or the future. You are defined only by the moment. Let go of old attitudes that are holding you back. Stay out of other people’s deep trauma waters this month as a means of distracting yourself from dealing with your own. Your desire to help others is a gift to be given, yes. But one shows love for others and themselves when they can give love to themselves too. Show your mental and emotional wellbeing, love and attention this month.

Aquarius 2022 Overview: Focus on being disciplined. Discipline and train your mind. It’s a good year for academia, learning, and seeking our intellectually stimulating challenges. Career wise, it’s not the right time for a big move, it’s more of a skill-building and portfolio-building year.

Your ruling planet Uranus is basically in Taurus until 2026. (It will take a brief retrograde break in Gemini in 2025.) So you are on a long haul journey here of assessing your physical reality, figuring out what brings you a sense of security, what you can do about climate change, what you want from your bank account, and what you want for your family and for your body. It is a time of digital advancement, of nest building, investing, and moving across country or the other side of the world. 

Introspection, harmony and gratitude abound for you in 2022. 

Aquarius 2021 Overview

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Last month you embraced main character energy. This month you’re taking the steps towards the next big plot point.

How do you swim an Olympic mile? One stroke and kick at a time. Stop waiting to arrive at your destination and swim for it. Celebrate every stroke you make in the direction of your goal. Enjoy every breath you take as you come up for air from your work. Take time to appreciate the view from where you are standing. 

Take time for your friendships, and social life, be aware of how you interact with your community and the world. Are you living according to your values and ideals? If not, then why not change that? When Mercury retrogrades in the middle of the month, your insecurities will threaten to derail your loving heart from its purpose. Delusions, old storylines, and outside influences seem to take up too much space in your mind, causing you to lose trust in others and yourself. Cast out negative thoughts with a hurricane of self-love. Trust in the Universe to hold you with all of your complexities. Trust in your community to lend aid when it’s needed. Those you have helped will come to your aid. If you find you are walking alone, unaided, then perhaps you need to look at the karma you have accumulated. The wheel of time turns out threefold the intentions that we put out into the world. Walk courageously in the direction of love. Feed your creativity. 

Pisces 2022 Overview: Your ruling planet Neptune is home in your sign until 2026. Once it transits into Aries in 2026, Neptune will not return to Pisces again for another 164 years. So this is a rare opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dissolve that which holds you back and seize everything you’ve ever desired. There are oceans of potential energy stirring in your veins. Let it pour from you like a cleansing rain that washed you clean of your fears, your doubt, your insecurities, and your delusions.

December 2021 Horoscopes: We're Going Deep; Exploring Intuition, Instinct, The Black Hole at the Center of Our Galaxy, and the Spirit

This month we’re going deep. Deeper into space and into astrology than some may have gone before. Learn about how the sun conjuncts the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy this month, how to get the most of Sagittarius season, harness the Piscean power of intuition and more this month.

Hello Dear Readers,

This December we are diving deep. 

Deeper than some may have been before. 

The month ushers in the depths of our knowledge being revealed to us.

The human DNA and our collective human experience are on display. Sometimes humanity is full of love and gratitude, but sometimes the society humanity has built is not easy to look at without flinching.  

Sagittarius Season invites us to engage and examine our relationship with fire. It is time to contemplate the fire cycle and fire's impact on our history, evolution, and our future. Take an intuitive approach. Learn how to make fire using ancient techniques and ancestral wisdom this month. Learn how to stoke a flame with the breath from your lungs. Notice how the Earth’s body must be consumed to feed the fire's hunger. What new life grows when the flames have gone? How do you participate in the natural cycle and rhythm of the Earth? How does what you do today paint a part of the world’s legacy?

When Capricorn season begins towards the end of the month, we are reminded that a fire’s touch leaves a mark. Our thoughts turn to grounded long-term solutions to healing the land, feeding our families, and commitment to our core values. 

Neptune and Jupiter support us this month by helping us to embracing our intuition, our instinct to evolve, and our creativity.

What grows in winter? What sleeps until spring? 

This Month’s Major Transits

Neptune and Jupiter Usher in Piscean Paradise

When: 

Dec 1st - Neptune goes Direct in Pisces

Dec 24th - Jupiter in Aquarius Quintile Uranus in Taurus

Dec 28th - Jupiter enters Pisces

Neptune Goes Direct

Neptune RX exposed harsh realities in our world, our relationships, leading to uncertainty and confusion. 

Now, December begins with the God of Dreams and Intuition going direct in Pisces for the first time since June. And the tides will turn as our spiritual imagination is awakened. The knowingness of our higher selves brings us to hold on to our sense of compassion more readily, opening us up to creativity and intuitive inspiration. We instinctively turn to is our subconscious for answers during this time for it is there that the first spark that birthed us shines its brightest.  

Neptune plays a crucial role in 2022, so in some sense, your future depends on your ability to express empathy and compassion during this time. Neptune spends 14 years in each sign and Neptune will be hanging out in Pisces until 2025.

These years are a time of dreaming and soul seeking.

It is time to engage your emotional intellect. Embrace your softness. Engage the questions of your heart. Ask questions about how you and society came to be. Indulge in hobbies, poetry, music and art. Embrace your intellectual and existential questions as a part of your human experience. Practice loving kindness and compassion. 

Jupiter in Aquarius quintiles Uranus in Taurus

This quintile reveals our talents and brings into our awareness a desire to create, organize, categorize, and build fair structures that serve the needs of everyone in our communities. 

Jupiter joins Neptune in Pisces

Neptune and Jupiter are teaming up to accelerate our spiritual evolution. 

Neptune and Jupiter rule the skies in the coming months, lifting illusions about history, bringing forth kindness, forgiveness, deep emotions, and boundless inspiration. 

The last Jupiter-Neptune conjunction was in 1856. 

This was during the early history of blues music, which would revolutionize music around the world. However, looking back on this point int history reveals many hard truths about American history, especially racial bias, such as blackface performers, crude racial caricatures, and slave songs stolen and profited from. In this time of Neptune in Pisces there is a lifting of illusions, a revealing of prejudice and projection. Some may experience disillusionment, memories, and nightmares in painful ways. What does fear teach us about healing? And the scar that healing can leave? 

Our present is integrally connected to our past. But we do not find our futures by looking to the past. 

We find our preferred futures this month by listening to our higher selves. Listen to the one inside of you that is aware of the breath. Engage your intuition and your senses. There are other ways of knowing. Transform mourning into creative expression. It is the spark of inspiration that guides us. Hope stirs for a fair and compassionate future for all of humankind. Space and time heal the body, but they also take their toll. This is a conjunction of embracing of mortality, legacy, and newfound compassion. 

Jupiter in Pisces brings creatives, musicians, water signs, and artists attunement to inspiration and deepening knowledge of their craft through practicing artistic expression. If your Jupiter is in Pisces, this transit will be especially transformative. If you are an entrepreneur in the creative field, this transit could also be especially good for you. 

The collaboration between Jupiter and Neptune allows our creativity to flow forth with such power that it is capable of breaking down any dams and blockages that have prevented us from expressing our creativity. The destruction of walls we have built between us and our senses (our instinct, our inner witness) is sometimes a necessary step in the rebirth of our creative energies. A new wave of opportunities is washing over you, cleaning away the cobwebs that clutter your imagination. This transit is akin to breathing a sigh of joy and relief as you resurface from the depths.

NOTE: Attune to your compassion by focusing on it with a gentle and appreciative gaze. Step back from the clouds, let the fog lift, and see clearly the blue skies waiting for you on the other side.

More About Jupiter in Pisces

Jupiter spent the early spring and summer months in Pisces this year. But it spent the majority of its time (the summer, fall, and winter months) in Aquarius. Jupiter has been in Aquarius in free-spirited and free-thinking Aquarius since July 28th, 2021, freeing us up to new ways of thinking and creating. 

Now Jupiter moves back into Pisces, bringing heightened spirituality, softness, compassion, psychic visions, and deep dreams that will permeate our consciousness. This transit promises optimism, growth, and abundance in business and in love. But you might also need a little more time to yourself to attune to your higher self and engage in meaningful introspection. 

How to Get the Most Out of This Transit

Believe. Emote. Care. Give. 

Good fortune shines on the lamb and not on the lion. 

Those who are charitable, tender, devoted, compassionate and giving reap the positive karma they have accumulated. Those who can believe in the basic goodness of all people will be afforded great luck and prosperity. 

Now is the time to swim in the deep waters of inspiration. When you are swimming in deep waters, engage your breath. Learn the rhythm of your body. Practice the sacred art of breathing.

Embark on a Spiritual Journey

Now is the perfect time to embark on a journey of the soul, seek your source, and practice living in the flow of wakefulness. Embrace what is universal to all beings.

Engage with other ways of feeling, knowing, seeking, and being.

Now is a good month to get a tarot reading from Wyld Lee at Moon Mountain Highway in Bingen, take a guided journey to the end of the universe, learn about human design, attend a Mt. Adam’s Buddhist Temple meditation, watch a documentary about Abdu’l-Baha, read the Qabalah or the Tao te Ching, study the Tarot, and practice Yoga. It’s also a good time to seek life coaching and astrological guidance or experience the wisdom available in somatic embodiment experiences (learn more here and here). 

Meditate

Meditate on compassion and gratitude. You know how to exude gratitude and mean it. If you have to go back to the beginning to remember what that feels like, then so be it, you know your way back to the present moment.

Want to join a group of experienced meditators locally? Join Mt. Adams Buddhist Temple for a meditation.

Can’t sit still? Try walking meditation or practice breathing and movement with Tai Chi in the Gorge in Bingen.

Attuned to Your Subconcious Mind

Listen to your dreams. Know that there are many ways of knowing. You know how to stoke the fires of your own soul. Engage your emotions, engage your instinct, practice awareness, practice stoking your inner fire, and see where it leads. 

Let inspiration and creativity flow through you

Listen to music, especially classical, music from around the world and the blues. Better yet…make music. Play the drums. Try acoustic. Learn to beatbox. Find your rhythm. Discover a new band called The Dalles, play with other musicians...seek camaraderie; perform. Try your hand at being a playright, make art, show your art, make videos, learn about the history of humans use of fire, ask yourself how many years it takes to create a symbiotic relationship across species, learn about the pace at which knowledge accumulates and intuition flows. 

Note: This transit will impact artists, spiritualists, and water placements such as Pisces the most. This transit also highlights areas of difficulty for Virgo and Capricorn placements. If your Jupiter, the luckiest planet in the solar system, is in Pisces, this transit will be especially potent for you. Remember that opportunities take all shapes and forms. 

Sagittarius Season Brings the Fire, A Total Solar Eclipse, Black Hole & Galactic Center Conjunction, and more

When: 

Dec 4th - New Moon/Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius

Dec 13th - Mars enters Sagittarius

Dec 18th - 21st Sun in Sag conjunct Sagittarius A Black Hole (Galactic Center)

Dec 21st - Sun in Sagittarius reaches 29th degree

We yearn to act and take the first steps forward with our new understanding of ourselves and our lives that we developed during Scorpio season. And here to help us do that is the Sun in Sagittarius. The energy of Sagittarius is always moving forward and looking to the future. This is a good time for expanding our horizons and learning new things. 

The Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius will release old wounds and heighten your knowing.

The final eclipse of 2021 is upon us.

This eclipse will bring an end to the fiery rage that has accompanied the Gemini and Sagittarius eclipse cycle since 2020. This cycle brought huge personal and collective political consequences. 

Luckily Sagittarius energy is versatile and adaptable. 

Lean into your resiliency. Embrace the fact that your quest may involve crossing over scorched Earth, where buzzards circle overhead. When the last fire burns out on a battlefield and the consequences of our actions lay before us- what then do we choose to take with us into the post-war days? Questions arise about our purpose, what drives us now, and what ancestral knowledge and beliefs we want to carry forward. 

Relinquish distractions from your heart's goals. Remember to breathe. 

This transit will significantly affect Aries, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius placements. Your ego, identity, and emotions may eclipse each other during this time. Knowledge, ancestral wisdom, and self-compassion are called upon during this time. There is a newfound faith in yourself and others that can be harnessed through dedication to self-improvement and self-actualization. 

Mars enters Sagittarius

When Mars, the planet of “I will fight for what I believe in” moves into Sagittarius, we must be careful to move forward with clear intentions. Mars brings raw energy to this sign that can be either constructive or destructive. Now is the time to carefully reinvest our abundance and lean into our strengths and values. All must hold their values firmly in their mind to avoid harmful distractions.  

Sun in Sagittarius conjuncts with Galactic Center and a Supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A

Black holes and Galactic Center are still fairly new additions to astrology, but they can offer us some very critical insights into our worldview. Mainstream astrology focuses on viewing the planets and stars from the viewpoint of Earth as the center point of the chart. (Ever noticed that in an astrological natal chart, there is a sun sign, moon sign, rising sign, venus sign, etc but no Earth sign? That’s because mainstream astrology places the Earth at the center of the chart.) 

However, some astrological schools of thought, like those taught by the Infigo Travelers at Nana I Ke Kumu in The Dalles, OR examine the movements of the planets from a viewpoint that sits at the center of our Galaxy: Galactic Center. 

Galactic Center astrology presents many interesting questions for our consideration. What can we learn about astrology by viewing it through a wider lens? What might a bigger picture of human evolution look like?

Alright then, with that in mind, let's talk about the sun conjuncting Sagittarius A.

Sagittarius A is a supermassive black hole located at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. 

The Sun's conjunction with Sagittarius A arrives just in time to help us celebrate the winter solstice on the 21st. The winter solstice has been considered the day of the “sun's rebirth” by many ancient people throughout history. It is the shortest day of the year and it marks the return of light and life to the earth.

In astrology the symbolism of black holes is still being debated. However there are some very clear symbolism attached to the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A at the center of our galaxy. This black hole symbolizes the womb, the birth canal, and the vulva of our galaxy. It is thought by some to be the birth canal leading to another dimension. A dimension that is currently beyond our perception, hidden behind the event horizon. Still, though we cannot see beyond the threshold with our eyes just as in birth and death, we can feel it's call, the gravity of it in our bodies and even sense it coming, but beyond the moment of transformation and reckoning- where life is death-we can see no further. Or can we? There is no way to know- until we cross the threshold. For this reason many consider Galactic Center to be a gateway to higher knowledge and the keeper of secrets regarding the origin of our souls.

This conjunction also asks us to take an even wider look at the fate of the world. During this time we can add the world, the galaxy, and the universes fare to our own personal existential questions about life and death because Saigttarius A is also associated with the beginning and end of our galaxy.

This conjunction brings themes of of birth, life, death, and the soul into our lives. It reminds us that all things have a beginning, middle, and an end and we do not always get to pick how long or short our time is on Earth. For the gravity and time are still a mystery we have not mastered. It also urges us to recognize that since we can not see beyond the horizon with our eyes, perhaps there are other ways of seeing, not with the eyes but with our minds, our spirits, and our hearts. This conjunction brings with is a desire to bring the body, mind, and spirit in alignment. In this higher state of awareness you know something…what is it?

This a time of posing questions to your higher self.

This conjunction pushes us to connect with our higher selves. The higher self is curious and compassionate about our experience, it can act as our inner witness but it could be even more...The higher self respects free will and needs to be invited to the table to help you make choices. Now is the perfect time to extend that invitation. 

It is also a conjunction of spirituality and magic. Sagittarius A is also associated with death, change, transformation, the goddess Hecate (Goddess of witches, magic, crossroads, keeper of keys, opener of doors, maiden, mother, and crone), the God Chronus, and spiritual rebirth. 

Those with Sagittarius placements in the 26th degree or within 2 degrees of Galactic center should pay especially close attention to what comes up for them during this transit. The numerology of this transit is 5 making us spiritually open, social, sensual, and helping us adapt to change. However, it also can cause situations and personalities to be a bit temperamental. 

Get the most out of Sagittarius season

Now is a good time to start paying attention to nurturing and growing your internal fire. Engage your intellect and your intuition together. 

Teach yourself something new. 

Learn how to carve a spoon, build something, try carpentry, read and write poetry, study esoteric history, learn herbal first aid, learn about string theory, seek ancestral knowledge, and learn about early civilizations. Engage nostalgia. 

Expand your knowledge base by exploring the lineage of fire this month. Fire meant life to our ancestors. Learn about fire’s impact on human history, learn how to make a bow drill, read Catching Fire: How Cooking made Us Human by Richard W Wrangham, watch “Quest for Fire”, or read mythology about the origins of fire. 

Learn about the biggest fire of them all: the Sun, of course. The big beautiful nuclear fusion explosion in the sky is, without a doubt, humanity’s favorite fire. It shines day in and day out, bringing warmth, light, and life to share with others. All surrounding the fire are grateful for it. 

Many take the sun's power for granted and take little time to understand it’s cycles and it’s mysteries. However, this month, Sagittarius season combined with the Piscean overtones of this month push us to explore those mysteries associated with our star’s power and eventual death. This is a good time to engage in learning about space, black holes, wormholes, the Sun, and our place in the universe. 

Things are ramping up for the Sun right now.

We are currently exiting the first stage of the Solar Cycle known as solar minimum and entering into the second stage of the cylce, known as solar increase. 

In astrology, the solar minimum is a time of relative calm, tolerance, laziness, an individualistic ideologies that are not easily unified. In contrast, the solar increase is a time of growth, new alliances, charismatic leaders, and the germination of ideas that can lead to the unification of the masses. 

The solar increase will culminate in the third stage of to solar cycle - solar maximum - in 2025. Solar energies are at their peak during this point in time. During solar maximum people readily follow leaders, ideological enthusiasm increases for better or worse, emigration increases, tensions are high and wars may begin. 

And then finally following all that activity we enter into the 25th Solar cycle's 4th and final stage of solar decline. This stage brings about disenchantment; humanity and society lose the will to remain unified, there is a disbanding of many groups, and people return to their homes and their gardens for peace and solitude. 

Mercury Out of Bounds and into Capricorn

When: 

Dec 2nd-Dec 28th Mercury is Out of Bounds

Dec 13th Mercury enters Capricorn 

Mercury Out of Bounds

There are many ways to express oneself and be understood.

Throw away the rules and find ways to communicate what you really mean. Embrace alternate methods of communication. Try using words, body language, music, art, scents, and poetry to communicate this month. If you love someone, kiss them, write them a poem, paint them a picture. If you are trying to attract romance, sprinkle yourself with rose oil. Emote. Suppose you are happy- smile. It is one of the easiest ways to communicate happiness is to smile. If you are sad, cry. Feelings communicate as much or more than words. 

Due to the Piscean influences at work this month, some people may be able to instinctually or emphatically tell what others around them are thinking or communicating. Hiding your emotions will get you nowhere this month. 

Know that many people will do anything to feel understood during this transit. 

Mercury in Capricorn

Mercury spends the first part of the month in Sagittarius, focusing our attention on learning and redefining our methods of communication and expression. We come to see that truth has many expressions and that it is alright for us to be grounded in our own perspective while also embracing difference with compassion.

When Mercury transitions into Capricorn, we feel called to start new dialogues grounded in truth. This month we may make decisions based on speaking honestly. Some people simply communicate slower and need more space in a conversation to communicate effectively. 

This is an excellent time to practice different methods of communication, especially communicating through creative and artistic means. Have a bonfire with friends and sing songs together.

Full Moon in Gemini

When: Dec 18th 

Enjoy social events. Lean into your duality. Throw a holiday party. 

Venus in Capricorn and Venus Retrograde

When: 

Nov 5th to March 5th - Venus in Capricorn, 

Dec 11th - Venus conjunct Pluto

Dec 19th through Jan 29th - Venus in Capricorn RX  

Venus in Capricorn

Build purpose and respect in your relationships this month through shared responsibilities, setting and respecting boundaries, structure, appreciation, beauty, and a grounded sense of purpose. Capricorn also reminds us to take joy in performing acts of service for others. Because, like it or not, being in a relationship with others comes with terms and conditions. We have social, cultural, and professional codes of conduct that mirror that truth. Everyone needs something back in a relationship. This is a great time to get clear on the terms and conditions of our long-term relationships and formulate our long-term relationship needs, expectations, and desires. 

Earth signs thoughts may turn to a careful and frugal mindset, preferring to invest their internal and monetary resources into building intergenerational health and wealth.  

Venus in Capricorn means our expectation of our relationships sky high and our understanding of our relationships may begin to expand to include past and future generations, genealogy, and ancestral knowledge. Desire intensifies for meaningful relationships. We seek deeper connections at home, and at work. Ambitious individuals will feel a desire to be recognized in the public eye. 

Venus in Capricorn conjuncts with Pluto this month. 

This meeting between the Goddess of Love and Pluto doubles our desire for love and affection, leading to infatuation, karmic connections. And it increases our attraction power*. It can also help us deepen our commitments to serious relationships and brings out the more kinky side of Capricorn. 

Capricorn energy kind of likes to be tied down (in more ways than one) after all.

*Misusing your attraction power to manipulate others maliciously can make this transit turn on you. So wield your power wisely.

Venus RX

Mid-month Venus goes retrograde in Capricorn, causing us to pause and examine our ideals more carefully. 

Your wounded heart feels called to heal old wounds, to envision your healing's impact on the next generation’s future and more. Cracks in relationship foundations may be revealed. It can be useful to share positive and negative feedback together. Know how to balance positive and negative feedback by engaging your curiosity and your compassion. Meditate on the feeling of appreciation, not thoughts of appreciation, but the actual feeling of it. You can train yourself to react using your values instead of a wounded reflex.

As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are times when we reassess what–and who–we value. It is considered inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship or financial undertaking. Themes surrounding old lovers, family and friends may arise. Relationships that don’t make the cut will end this month. There may also be delays or confusion in relationships and financial affairs. 

Note: Earth signs Taurus, Capricorn, and Virgo will feel the pull of this transit most. 

Note: Venus will be OUT-OF-BOUNDS until December 7th. Out of bounds planets tend to jump the track and take off in whatever direction suits them, and Venus is no different. Venus now urges us to toss aside conventions and taboos and follow our hearts regardless of whether it seems unconventional, overachieving, or imbalanced in the eyes of societal expectations.

Capricorn Season

When: Dec 22nd-Jan 19th

Like a tai chi master, Sagittarius season transitions harmoniously into industrious Capricorn season with one single breath. 

How to Get the Most Out of Capricorn Season

Capricorn likes to get things done. They embrace the feelings that come with achievement and their clear focus can help them embrace many creative routes to achieving their goals. Honest communication, attention to detail, and accelerated self-improvement abound during Capricorn season. 

Capricorn takes the long view. Capricorn asks: Does it grow corn? How do we grow enough corn to feed the next seven generations? Now is a good time to take the long view and invest in the future. Commit to exercising the body in ways that enrich your life, your health, and your wellbeing.

Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus Themes and Squares Continue

When: 

March 2020 to March 2023 - Saturn in Aquarius

Dec 24th - Saturn in Aquarius Squares Uranus in Taurus 

Saturn transits represent cycles of achievement and maturity. Saturn can teach us to take responsibility for ourselves. Inner strength can be revealed in the compassion we hold for ourselves and others. We learn, mature, and grow through cycles of inexperience and experience. As Sagittarius season ends and Capricorn season begins, we are drawn to opportunities to integrate our knowledge and build a better world for ourselves and others. 

Saturn is the natural ruler of Aquarius, making it feel right at home in this sign. Saturn in Aquarius asks us to be free-thinking, grow, embrace the capacity of our nervous systems, invest in new technology, and accept our role as a conduit of inspiration and emotion this month.

While Saturn is happy in Aquarius, Uranus in Taurus is typically considered a difficult meeting associated with radical change and economic downturn. This Uranus transit has brought climate change, Earth’s natural cycles, and our historical relationship to the Earth and each other into our worldview. Taurus energy invites you to embrace your innate gentleness and sturdiness and make choices that will curate who you want to be to yourself and in relation to others. 

For more information on the journey, Saturn and Uranus are taking us on this year, read: Astrological Themes of 2021.

Saturn in Aquarius Squares Uranus in Taurus 

Uranus square Saturn was one of the most defining aspects of 2021. 

This month Saturn and Uranus clash for the third time this year. This is the last of three Uranus and Saturn squares in which the old and new clash. 

This transit can cause division and exacerbate generational rifts. 

A foundational rift between generations, Earth, and air permeates this transit. In mythology, Uranus premordial god of agriculture was castrated and his rule overthrown by his son Saturn, God of the Sky, who then took over supreme power in the cosmos. Saturn and Uranus have a history. And that history can make it tough to get along. Now is a time of severing unhealthy relationships and habits to ascend to power just as Saturn severed his father’s mythological genitals so many years ago

This means the days leading up to the holidays may be very rocky indeed, especially where opposing ideologies fail to coexist, modern ideals may clash with long-held values. Taurus and Aquarius are both fixed signs meaning that they can be inflexible in their viewpoints and ideologies, leading to the slowing of progress, intergenerational rifts, estranged families, friends, and business partners. This month's square may also reveal inequity in relationships and unmet expectations. 

It also has us revisiting the impacts of our choices to make a radical change in our life or to stick with the status quo.

Asteroids Play Tug of War with our Healing and Growth

When: 

Dec 19th - Chiron Direct in Aries 

Dec 21st- Ceres Retrograde enters Taurus 

The wounded healer Chiron goes direct in Aries this month. 

This transit pushes us to assess our role as both the wounded and the healer of our wounds. Our responsibility to ourselves and others in regard to our healing is being ignited. To heal our own wounds is to heal the wounds of the world across generations. How can you be a parent to yourself? How can you nurture your potential? 

Let the dead and dying rest. Let the wounded take the time to heal. Embrace that space and time heal the body and the soul. Some will need more time to heal than others.

Those with Chiron in Aries placements in the 8th degree will feel this transit most intensely.

For more information on Chiron in Aries read Astrological Themes of 2021

Ceres RX in Taurus

Fears delay growth. Fears about survival intensify. (What is the opposite of abundance? What is the opposite of stability and sustainability? Death.) Hold space for those fears. Witness your inner mother and inner child. This is the perfect time to hold space for growth. See your inner mother’s fear of losing her child. How can you be a good parent to yourself? How can you nurture and heal your inner child? There is a tendency to turn towards old methods of survival during this transit. 

Astrological Themes of 2021

Astrology as a Tool for Self Reflection

It is important to remember that anything I write here is meant to be used as a tool of reflection and self-awareness and not as a hard prediction. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately we must each decide our own path in life. 

Astrology is a tool we can use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond to what’s happening internally and externally. It helps us pay attention to our physical and emotional states and opens us up to new ways of navigating our thoughts and actions. 

The astro-literate are encouraged to read their rising sign (represents the lessons and characteristics you are learning in this lifetime) and venus sign (represents what makes us happy and the way you are in relationships) first.

Astrological Themes of 2021

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Your ruling planet Mars traverses the Centaur kingdom in Sagittarius from the 14th of Dec through the 24th of Jan. Now is a time of moving forward and of discovering what you care enough about to fight for. Know that traveling in a straight line is no longer the quickest path to success. Deepen your knowledge of yourself and your values. Take risks, travel, expand your horizons, grow chrysanthemums and tiger lilys in your thought garden. 

Venus retrograde in Capricorn illuminates your 10th house on the 19th. Questions about what drives you to achieve your goals arise. What are you trying to achieve? What are you working for? 

You instinctively know what is most important to you.

Aries 2021 Overview 

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

You can grant yourself permission to be powerful. 

You are redefining your relationship to power and hierarchies this month. Your ruling planet Venus retrogrades this month, burning your ideologies, surrounding your relationship to power and hierarchies to the ground. No church, professor, or therapist can know you and your power as well as you know yourself. When the flames dissipate, and only scorched Earth remains, you will know that the only person who’s permission you need to exercise your power is you. You rebel against the idea of limited potential. 

Your world is expanding. 

Neptune direct in Pisces illuminates your 11th house of communication, listening, and performance this month. Who do you want to hold an audience with? When Jupiter joins Neptune in Pisces at the end of the month, you’ll get a creative boost and an urge to perform your intuitive skills, compassion, and craft. Own your originality.

Stagnant relationships may end for you this month. Fears may arise about survival following emotional hardships.

Taurus 2021 Overview

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Life imitates art. Life has plot building, lulls in the action, and exciting crescendos.

This month you integrate lessons you’ve learned from the past two years.

On the 4th of December, a new moon and total solar eclipse bring a big turning point for you. The darkness of the new moon raises questions about your intimate partnerships. Who has stuck by you as you’ve transformed? Who leads the way when you are lost? Venus also retrogrades in your 8th house of partnerships and commitment. You intuitively know how to hold space for your worst relationship fears. You intuitively know what a balanced relationship looks like. Now it is time to evaluate if your choices and reflect on your intuitive knowing. You intuitively choose relationships that matter. Lean into making those relationships last.

Gemini 2021 Overview

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Venus has been offering you a grounded Capricornian approach to your relationships since early November. 

However, this month Venus goes retrograde, testing your relationships and their boundaries. Plus Pluto and Venus conjunct at the end of the month, bringing any relationships that didn’t make the cut to an end. Thanks to Neptune in Pisces, illusions are being lifted in your relationships. Be wary of empty promises. Themes involving ex-lovers and estranged families may arise for you this month, culminating as the full moon illuminates your 12th house of personal history and intuition. 

Trust your experiences, instinct, and intuition. If something feels right, it is. If something feels wrong, it is. You know what is true for you. 

If you are single, you may feel acute loneliness this month. If this is the case for you, try to get out and see friends and family. Things will start moving again in your relationships when Venus comes out of rx at the end of January. 

In the meantime, it’s a good time to practice and strengthen your intuition, have a gathering with friends, get creative, make music, take a spiritual journey, try using synastry to track your relationships, or practice lucid dreaming.

Cancer 2021 Overview

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Your embracing that your worth goes beyond the recognition you’ve received. 

Your ruling planet, the Sun, squares Neptune this month on the 11th-12th, causing some tension in your creative world. You may feel like a big fish in a small pond that’s getting a bit cramped. 

Neptune in Pisces is calling on you to transform. Your current path may have ceased being lucrative for you. Listen to your instinct, listen to your intuition. You are being called to reconnect with your dreams, values, and your ability to emote. It’s time to break the routine, expand your horizons, and take a swim in deeper waters. A higher level of consciousness is awaiting you. 

When Venus retrogrades, your body and boundaries may need your attention. Time to manage your time in a way that is good for your heart and soul. Spend time stoking your heart’s fire. Be creative. Do more of the things that gratify your mind, body, and soul. Ask yourself why you do the work you do.

Your December Song: Follow the Sun by Xavier Rudd

Leo 2021 Overview

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

You relate intuitively this month.

Neptune in Pisces calls upon you to transform the way you relate in your intimate partnerships. Who do you want to be in relation to your friends, your family, and your intimate partners? What parts of you are longing to be expressed? 

Address infrastructure problems if you can. Create space for change and creativity by transforming your surroundings. Paint your bedroom a new color. Take on a home construction project. Get some art for your walls. Build furniture, knit gifts, get a stand up desk or a new rug. Create a space that inspires you. Feel how it can be to tear apart, level a space and rebuild it. 

You are at once increasingly logical and intuitive this month. Do activities that engage your instinct and your intellect. Learn from experiences that mash math and intuition. What bright sparks are you fanning into flames? What cool waters of inspiration are available to you?

Virgo 2021 Overview 

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

You are traveling into unknown territory. 

Your ruler Venus, Goddess of Love and Beauty meets up with Pluto, King of the Underworld this month causing you to become aware of and examine your relationship with the darker side of things. 

Existential questions about the nature of codependency, interdependency, cohabitation, and coevolution come into play. What role does your soul have to play? What support do you rely on? Are you being drawn towards that which drains your energy or that which lifts it up? How can you free yourself from habits, people, and systems that oppress you?

Neptune lifts illusions from your eyes this month. That which is false is revealed. Foundational issues at home or with family may need addressing. 

Sagittarius energy gives you the strength to delve deep into what lights your heart’s fire in the face of oblivion and the void. What makes you want to live...really live? Everything fake in your life burns away this month, freeing your energy up for new things. Keep taking steps forward until you learn to fly.

Libra 2021 Overview

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

The month starts out with your ruling planets Pluto, God of the Underworld and Mars, God of Raw Energy and Overly Intense Feelings focused on crafting your inner drive into an arrow pointing you in EXACTLY the direction you want to go. You are clearing away blocks, finding new ways of thinking, and transforming. Mars boosting energy may be destructive or constructive depending on the state of mind of its wielder. Your goal now is to have a clear vision of what you want. 

Mid-month Mars enters Aquarius giving you a chance to process changes or difficulties at home. You’ll be pulled into examining your personal history and your attachment to traditions, habits, and long-held ideologies. Existential questions about family arise: What makes you feel at home? What is your definition of home and of family? How can a family evolve together over generations? How has yours changed over the years? What can you learn from examining your history? What is your role in the world, family and beyond?

Set your intention on acting with your goals in mind.

Scorpio 2021 Overview

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Happy Birthday Sagittarius!

The stars are busy weaving your story this month, Sagittarius. Between a solar eclipse, Mars, and the black hole Sagittarius A conjuncting your sun this month things are more intense than usual. 

This year’s eclipse cycle in your sign has brought forth many changes based on themes of “in practice” versus “in theory”. This month’s eclipse marks the completion of your journey through those themes this year. Now is the time to assess what you still value, hold true, and who holds you. 

When the Sun conjuncts with the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A in your sign on the 18th be aware of what fears, purposes, and energies pull at you. Venus in Rx starts the very next day causing you to assess what you are giving your energy and time to. What event horizons are you approaching? What are you giving your energy to? Is it worth it? What lights your hearts fire even in the face of the void?

During the full moon the low burning fires offers a chance for intimacy. If you are seeking partnership, now is a good time to ask for it. You are emboldened to ask for committed long-term solutions in your love and home life. Speak your heart.

Jupiter in Pisces helps to cool your anxieties, however, as you walk through the world, embracing the intuitive wisdom available in all things. You belong to the world just as much as it belongs to you. Inspiration and wisdom comes from seeking the forests of your subconscious. Engage your intellect and your intuition. If all you use is your eyes you will never see beyond the edge of the horizon. There is more than one way of knowing and of seeing. You know something. What is it? What does your body say? What does your breath say? Listen. 

The shift into water and earth energy acting on you at the end of the month cools some of the chaos. When Capricorn season begins, your phoenix will rise.

Sagittarius 2021 Overview

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Happy Birthday Capricorn!

You are sticking to your values now more than ever. Your inner fire burns bright.

Your ruling planet Saturn, the god of sowing seed squares, role reversal, and behavioral license squares off with Uranus (primordial God of the Sky) in Taurus this month. Both planets are in the fixed signs Aquarius and Taurus. The combination of air and Earth leads to some tensions in the fields. 

This challenging aspect combined with Venus Rx means that some relationships in your life might not make the cut this month. Foundational themes of family, home, and recognition call for your attention. 

You may be drawn to themes of death and rebirth this month. It takes a wise person to see that the natural growing and food cycles of the world involve birth, life, death and rebirth. Now is a time to sever unhealthy relationships and habits. It is time to burn away your old roles, your old life and plant seeds in the ashes. Listen to your intuition. Follow your instinct. Shift long-held goals to align with your present values. What makes you feel at home? What support systems do you depend on? What grows success in your life? How do you plant seeds that nurture your power? What role do you want to play in relationship to yourself, your family, and the world?

When Capricorn season begins you’ll have cut yourself free of the weights that hold you back be ready to start a new chapter in your life. 

On a lighter note you may crave some social activity during the full moon...So why not have a Toga party?

Pagans around the world may celebrate the ancient holiday Saturnalia this month by cutting down trees, bringing them indoors, and decorating them this month. Saturn also happily accepts candles as offerings. The holiday Saturnalia was typically a time when roles would be reversed, the master becomes the slave and the slave the master. One modern way to celebrate this holiday is to spend the day learning about other’s perspectives or spending some time walking in someone else’s shoes.

Capricorn 2021 Overview

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

This month is about getting comfortable with endings and new beginnings. 

Jupiter, planet of seized opportunity has sat in your sign most of this year, giving you opportunities to change your role at home, at work, and in your relationships. You have been very busy growing, expanding and deepening your understanding of yourself, your relationships and the world this year. This transit may have even changed the course of your life on a fundamental level. At the end of the month, Jupiter will move into Pisces, taking the heat off your search for answers by bringing about intuitive changes. 

Mars squares your tenth house this month, and you will be presented with a career opportunity that has you questioning the cost of compromising for a chance at success. You are getting ready to graduate from your old understanding of continuity in life. Meditate on your accomplishments. Press on in your endeavors.

Venus Rx will also have you reflecting on changes in your family and home life this month. Your ruling planet Uranus also squares off with Saturn in Aquarius this month, making for some challenging aspects at home and with family. Embrace your heart's curvy edges. Look upon yourself and others with compassion. You’ve changed a lot this year. Who has stayed by your side? Who recognizes the changes you’ve made? Who have you given the opportunity to really know you? Are old familial rifts being allowed to fester? What intergenerational traumas need to be overthrown to make way for a new future? The path forwards is not always logical or in a straight line.

Aquarius 2021 Overview

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Main character energy is manifesting for you this month. Finally.

Lots of things are lining up for you this month.  
Your ruling planet Neptune is finally, finally, finally going Direct on December 1st. Fears and insights of the past are cleared to make space for new dreams to be realized. And the fiery optimistic energy of Sagittarius calls you to envision a bold new career path for yourself. In addition, Jupiter the luckiest planet, planet of seized opportunities, expansion, growth, healing, miracles, and prosperity enters Pisces at the end of the month bringing new horizons to your attention. Jupiter loves extravagance, so don’t be surprised if you feel called to invest in something luxurious that brings you joy. 

The stars will have truly aligned for you by the end of the month. Make the most of your time by engaging your abstract mind, inviting your higher self into the conversation, feeding your intellect, learning new ideas and perspectives, and engaging in activities that allow you to hone your intuition.

November 2021 Horoscopes: Sister Signs Scorpio and Taurus Collide

Strap in. This month is going to be intense. The veil has thinned, and the process of softening, thickening, and hardening for winter is now underway. Find out how more about this months opposing energies, how to use Capricornian energy to achieve your long-term goals, and what plant allies you should work with this month.

Hello Dear Readers

Strap in. This month is going to be intense. 

The veil has thinned, and the process of softening, thickening, and hardening for winter is now underway. The elements collide this month. The rain turns clay earth to mud. Fires light in our homes, and the chill of the fall breeze makes our bellies grow hungry. Our bodies get a little softer and our thoughts a little darker as we prepare for winter. 

It is a time of the year when stark contrasts arise.

These contrasts are also present in the diverse expressions of survival instincts that are on display everywhere you look. Some hibernate for the winter, others make cozy nests, some shed their leaves and wait for spring to come again, some double their efforts to grow their winter stores, and some frolic ever more frantically in the face of coming snow. Every individual’s expression of their survival instinct is so unique. Yet, every single behavior, regardless of its variety, is an expression of this same universal desire: to live, to survive, to thrive, to die with dignity, and to be reborn in our purest form. 

November is a time of soul seeking. 

This month we’re learning what it’s like to be the last leaf on a tree, waiting to take that ecstatic free fall or journey along with the breeze before joining our fellow leaves at the foot of our mother tree. Existential questions about the nature of life, death, and rebirth float to the surface. These questions help us to cut through the noise to discover what matters to us. These questions help us gather our strength, seek comfort in endless possibilities, and transform our values into a north star that can light the way through the dark days ahead. 

It is also a time when contrasts between the haves and have nots become especially visible. The houseless individual who was all but forgotten in summer is again remembered as the temperatures drop and frost graces the window panes of those who have homes. Those who have no fields to tend must rely on those that do to feed them. Strong communities, whether they are whole towns or a singular family, are only as successful as their least successful companions. In life, we must do all we can to lift others up. The success of the whole is dependent on the success of individuals. Opportunities for generosity and miserliness abound in the coming winter months. 

This Months Major Astrological Themes

A quick note: Many planets are in fixed signs this month, which means that a tendency to get stuck, rigidity in thinking, and inflexibility may be challenges we face. The four fixed signs are Taurus (Earth), Leo (Fire), Scorpio (Water), and Aquarius (Air).

Scorpio Season Collides With Sister Sign Taurus

When: Oct. 22nd - Nov. 21st, Uranus RX in Taurus opposes Mars, Moon, Sun in Scorpio early on the 4th, and 5th. And the new moon in Scorpio Nov, 4th and then again during the partial lunar eclipse during full moon in Taurus on Nov. 19th. 

Scorpio themes from last month are back again in November. So be sure to check out last month's horoscopes for more information on that. Because I want to dive into another phenomenon that’s happening this month: the Scorpio and Taurus Sister Sign energy that permeates the first half of this month.

If you’ve ever had a best friend that was your sister sign (sister signs sit precisely opposite each other on the wheel of the zodiac), then you know where this is going. Sisters can help you expand your heart, but they can trample on it too. Finding that relationship balance can sometimes feel as easy as breathing, and at other times it’s a tooth and nail struggle. 

Scorpio and Taurus are sisters; both represent the fixed feminine aspects of power, spirituality, and sexuality in the zodiac, although they take very different tacts. Scorpio likes to control. Taurus likes to have. Scorpio is an occultist. Taurus is more of a Buddhist (or Taoist). They both love sex, comfort, and power, but they often look for these things in completely opposite ways. Both struggle with trust but somehow implicitly trust one another. They are like two sides of the same coin, contrasting in their approach to answering the same questions surrounding their sense of self and personal power. Taurus often defines themselves by having things and Scorpio by controlling things. So this month is a good time to reconcile any opposing values or ideals you hold about power, freedom, having, and controlling. (You’ll be glad you did by the time the full moon rolls around and karma comes knocking.)

This will be especially true early in the month when Uranus RX opposes the Sun, the Moon, and Mars in Scorpio in Taurus early in the month. Uranus in Taurus has been pushing us all year to radically evolve our economy, technology, how we relate to the Earth and each other. 

Uranus is the wake-up call planet. 

Uranus in Taurus teaches us that collective evolution and awakening are now being born out of actual physical necessity. Looking at our history, we can see that Uranus was last in Taurus during the Great Depression. Changes had to be made. Economy and industry had to shift. Women began entering the workforce and came into their power in a new way. Now Uranus is back in Taurus. And sure enough, society is once again ripe with challenges (economic downturn, pandemic, calls for gender equality) and potential to evolve to meet those challenges in new and creative ways. Now is the time for every individual to awaken and reflect on their role in evolving our society. 

Uranus is shaking our sh*t up in a big way this year.

Uranus pushes us to redefine our attitudes, beliefs and seek to understand the role we play in building a better society. But in general, when Uranus is in Taurus, we struggle to deal with that change gracefully and a lot of fear about potential adverse outcomes gets stirred up. This is especially true when Uranus Rx in Taurus opposes it’s sister sign, Scorpio who is known to have a flair for intensity and drama. As a result, there are likely to be a lot of ups and downs early in the month. Bursts of intense emotions, anger, inspiration and energy are available to us. But so are solitude, solidity, and consistency. There will be journeying of the soul across the dark void. And there will be bright spots of connectivity, heart expansion, and comfort. Feelings can be tender, grudges can surface, the universe can reveal secrets, and hearts can open during this time. Ultimately it is up to you to find a feeling of balance in this chaos. 

New Moon in Scorpio, Partial Lunar Eclipse During Full Moon in Taurus 

When: Nov. 4th, Nov. 19th

Lunar activity plays a big role in how we roll this month. 

On Nov. 4th the New Moon in Scorpio will oppose Uranus in Taurus (Scorpio’s sister sign rears her head yet again). When sister signs oppose each other, especially when both are fixed signs, rebellion, awakening, and new beginnings are at hand. The new moon will up the ante for transformational possibilities. Creative breakthroughs and necessary collapses may abound at various points in the month as a result. 

The lunar eclipse in the Scorpio-Taurus axis brings big changes and big manifestations. Whatever happens now could set the tone for all of 2022 and the first half of 2023 as additional eclipses will occur in these signs for the next two years. 

The tarot card associated with this lunation is The Wheel of Fortune. Karma is coming. The tides are turning, the seasons are changing, and what will be, will be. Be aware of your sensual physical being and needs. Hold on to your wallet as you may need those pennies to weather whats coming. But give of your heart as freely as you can. 

When the moon waxes full in Taurus, hearts, and doors to romance will open. Gift your lovers things that delight their physical senses: chocolates, marshmallows, rose scents, and orgasms. 

Venus enters Capricorn

When: Nov. 5th

The first few days of the month start off with Venus in Sagittarius and leave us feeling ready to undertake significant new growth phases in our relationships. Luckily Venus in Capricorn arrives just in time to lend us some grit and support. 

One thing we all love about Capricorns is how dang good they are at their chosen pursuits. They are the epitome of competent, ambitious, and well-organized when it comes to their desires. But the lesser-known side of Capricorn is the amount of anxiety they must expend when weighing all possible outcomes and options of a decision. Capricorn CARES. And to Capricorn, caring and commitment go hand in hand. In some ways, for Capricorn, love, and commitment might as well be the same thing. Capricorns are in it for the long haul, and they care deeply about the long-term outcomes of their relationships, so they weigh relationship decisions carefully. Sometimes even taking into account seven years to seven generations in the future. 

SEVEN YEARS of commitment, ya’ll. That is the depth of caring that Capricorn brings to Venus this month. Capricorn wants to build relationship foundations that can last for lifetimes and span generations, not just a fling that lasts a week or a month. And they’ve got some pretty high standards as a result. Embrace that Capricornian grit. Formulate what makes you CARE enough to commit to growth and embrace it.

Capricorn also reminds us to take joy in performing acts of service for others. Because, like it or not, being in a relationship with others comes with terms and conditions. We have social, cultural, and professional codes of conduct that mirror that truth. Everyone needs something back in a relationship. This is a great time to get clear on the terms and conditions of our long-term relationships and formulate our long-term relationship needs, expectations, and desires. 

Embrace your desires. It isn’t selfishness, it’s your long-held truth. Let your newfound clarity help you with the hard work of building, rebuilding, or restructuring our platonic, business, and romantic relationships. Relationship expectations become more precise and structured during this transit. Capricorn in Venus may also lead to raised standards in relationships. 

If you still aren’t feeling ready to commit to seven years, let alone seven generations come December, don’t worry, its okay to take your time and weigh your options. Capricorn energy knows that it takes time to build a rock-solid relationship foundation. And sometimes, that process requires pointing out the cracks and making repairs. After all, pointing out a need that isn’t being met in a current relationship might feel hard today, but it paves the way for a better long-term outcome. 

Note: Venus will be OUT-OF-BOUNDS until December 7th. Out of bounds planets tend to jump the track and take off in whatever direction suits them, and Venus is no different. Venus now urges us to toss aside conventions and taboos and follow our hearts regardless of whether it seems unconventional, overachieving, or imbalanced in the eyes of societal expectations.

Mercury Transits through Scorpio and into Sagittarius 

When: Nov. 5th, Nov. 24th

Be curious. 

Curiosity gets us far in our communications because curiosity does not judge. It merely seeks to understand. 

Scorpio has a natural curiosity. And when Mercury enters Scorpio on the 5th, it causes us to crave mystery, secrets, and deep emotional connections. In a shallow way, it’s an excellent time to get those needs met by reading a mystery novel or watching true crime on TV. In a deeper way it’s also a good time to confront narratives surrounding self-worth, reckon with hidden or secret family histories, and solve mysteries. 

Some weird squares take place from November 9th-21st this month, making our communications at times filled with opposing energies of passion/fury and detached idealism (thanks to Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius). Take the long views, see the big picture. Ethics questions come into play. Outcomes-based decision-making is at it’s best. What is your larger goal here? What messages and narratives are hidden from you? Hidden family histories may come to light. 

When Mercury transits into Sagittarius on the 24th, our thoughts turn to processing inner truth from ideas into lived experience. Enjoy adaptation and integration. Embrace your optimism. It is not naivety. It is your adaptability. It is your survival instinct. Embrace your capacity to endure hardship and still find reasons to hope. 

Asteroids Intensifying and Supporting Other Aspects

Nov. 8th Pallas goes direct.

Pallas, an asteroid named for the Greek Goddess of Wisdom, finally exits its retrograde in Pisces, allowing us to integrate our new ideas about justice and allowing us to fully utilize our talents, wisdom, intuition, defenses, and negotiation skills. Be wary that the justice you seek reflects inner values and not inherited values from the status quo, authority figures, and elders. Fighting someone else’s battle is no path to self-actualization.

Nov. 14th Juno enters Capricorn.

Juno, goddess asteroid of commitment, enters self-disciplined Capricorn supporting the energy of the Venus in Capricorn transit. 

Nov. 16th Vesta enters Sagittarius.

The brightest asteroid in the sky and the goddess of fire enters Sagittarius, lighting our soul's fire and asking us to consider what is sacred to us. 

Nov. 17th Jupiter Semi-square Chiron

We learn to walk not by walking but by standing up and falling down over and over again. Walking is nothing if not a controlled fall. Mistakes and failures should be welcomed as great teachers. 

Nov. 26th Saturn sextile Chiron 

This is the final round of major aspects that have been building since February and June. Competence increases to heal the wounds of our world. Our interconnectedness helps us to understand how our unique selves are vital to the survival of humanity. Confidence and harmony abound. Embrace a humble life, pursue your goals with dogged enthusiasm to the benefit of all.

Sagittarius Season Brings Growth, Integration, Adaptation

When: Nov 21st - Dec 21st

Sagittarius, the free-spirited adventure, bold-hearted Gryffindor of the zodiac, is here. Mental fortitude increases. You now see how fortune favors the brave. Where once you saw obstacles, now you see welcome challenges that pepper your life’s journey, giving it contrast and bringing out its savory flavor. Opportunities arise out of suffering. 

Make use of Sagittarius energy and honor your inner strength by adapting and integrating new changes into your life. Lean into what is sacred to you. Expand your worldview by trying out the three M’s of this mutable fire sign: seek meaning, meditate, and meditate. Know that the heart sees what the eyes cannot. 

All this Sagittarius energy means now is also an excellent time to release the stress that’s been buliding over the year. Offer yourself the freedom of letting go. Ask yourself, what hard edges in your life need softening? 

Know that your need for independence and freedom is not selfishness. It is your innate value of equality. Embrace it. Live your ideals, take aim, and watch as everything falls into place.

Astrology as a Tool of Self-Reflection

It’s important to remember that anything I write here is meant to be used as a tool of reflection and self-awareness and not as a hard prediction. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately, we must decide our own path in life. Astrology is a tool we use to take the world's temperature and reflect on how we might respond. It helps us pay attention to our physical and emotional states and opens us up to new ways of navigating our thoughts and actions. 

The Astro-literate are encouraged to read their moon sign (representing your inner self, the subconscious and the emotional self) and venus sign (represents what makes us happy and how you are in relationships).

This Month’s Major Transits

Astrological Themes of 2021

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Last month was kind of intense, sure Halloween was a lot of fun, but you also had to spend a lot of time focusing on others' needs. As your ruling planet Mars travels through the underworld in Scorpio this month, you’ll be returning some of that focus to yourself. This month, your challenge will be to focus on yourself and avoid distractions on your path to self-actualization. Tie up loose ends this month so you can focus on what really inspires and drives you. The energy of this month might have you deflecting from self-actualization by obsessing over a new TV show, a new person, or a new hobby. 

To Do’s: Be curious. Build strong foundations. Commit to long-term goals. Reconcile any opposing values or ideals you hold about power, freedom, having, and controlling. Embrace your instinct to survive. 

Plant allies to work this month: Yarrow, Guarana, Cayenne, Nettle, Turmeric, Maca, Milk Thistle, Ginger, Ruda

Aries 2021 Overview 

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

The Sun, the Moon, and Mars may seem to have it out for you this month as they oppose freedom-loving Uranus in your sign this month. It may feel like your patience is being tested at every turn. Don’t worry too much about what others are doing this month. Pay attention to any repressed parts of yourself that need your attention and allow them the opportunity to express what they need. This could bring about some big shifts for you, your identity, spirituality, and way of walking through the world. Embrace change as the inevitable consequence of living a full life. If you’re struggling with changes in a relationship, remember that growing together and growing apart are always on the table. And just because one thing shifts doesn’t mean you lose what you had before. You are a culmination of all your experiences and memories are forever. When the full moon rises in your sign, your tender heart will thank you for it.

To Do’s: Be curious. Build strong foundations. Commit to long-term goals. Reconcile any opposing values or ideals you hold about power, freedom, having, and controlling. Embrace your instinct to survive.

Get ready, speed racer. Things are happening fast and furious this month, which just happens to be precisely your speed. You like the intensity of the honest communications that are flying all around you this month. It reignites your passion and drive. Your ruling planet Mercury is direct and out of RX, and you finally feel like you have the opportunity to move about freely. Use the energy of this month to bring some balance to your work/home life. Organize your office and your bedroom. You can look forward to some fun and expanding horizons towards the end of the month. Schedule some travel plans, a concert, or sign up for a class.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Sweet Cancer, I’ve got good news about this month. Venus and Juno entering into commitment-oriented Capricorn will bring a lot of opportunities for love, pleasure, and partnership into your life this month. This is an excellent month for you to build lasting relationships and commitments, find love, find a life coach, and deeply commit to your long-term goals. Just take it slow. Everything happens one moment at a time. Also, you might be feeling extra expressive or protective of your feelings at certain points in the month (thanks to Scorpio and Taurus energies), and that’s okay. Know that protectiveness is a result of your long-held bravery.

To Do’s: Be curious. Build strong foundations. Commit to long term goals. Reconcile any opposing values or ideals you hold about power, freedom, having, and controlling. Embrace your instinct to survive.

Cancer 2021 Overview

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Your mettle is being tested this month. Scorpio and Taurus’s clash in Uranus (see above) might have a big impact on you this month, creating tension and chaos at home and at work, especially around the full moon. Your challenge this month is to go with the flow and ask for help when you need it. Your friends would love the opportunity to return the warmth you share with them. Be yourself, let your guard down, and lean into what's sacred for you. The new moon especially could bring about a pleasing home situation for you. But even if things are still being worked out, the Scorpio energy will pass, and when fellow fire sign Sagittarius takes over at the end of the month, things will balance out, and you’ll be back on top once again. 

To Do’s: Be curious. Build strong foundations. Commit to long-term goals. Reconcile any opposing values or ideals you hold about power, freedom, having, and controlling. Embrace your instinct to survive.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

 Your intellect is enjoying the challenges of this month, so lean into it. Everything that was stalled in your life is now flowing free. Your achievements are unbounded as your ruler Mercury is once again moving forward and not somersaulting over backward in retrograde. Things will pick up speed quickly in your projects, but you may still be working up to your full capacity, so be sure to take breaks and make time to relax and have fun so that your efforts can be sustainable. With Venus in your fellow Earth sign Capricorn this month, you may also benefit from going on some fun dates or hosting some fun game nights.

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Happy Birthday Libra!

Money and power are on your mind this month as Scorpio and Taurus energies collide this month. Unexpected bills show up in the mail, but as do surprise checks. Too much is up in the air to buy that boat/plane/big purchase you had in your brain that can wait until Sagittarius season arrives at the end of the month. In the meantime, invest in your future and expand your financial stability by diversifying your wealth portfolio: try following stocks and investing in cryptocurrency. Try day trading. All you need is a phone and an extra few hundred dollars. Just don’t put up anything you aren’t willing or able to lose.

Happy Birthday!

This month you’re resting up and connecting with friends while you await your solar return. Your subconscious is speaking to you. Are you listening to what it has to say?

This Month’s Major Themes


Easy, Breezy, Beautiful Libra Season 

When: Sept 23rd-Oct 23rd

This month the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, and Mars in Libra. 

Libra, the cool autumn breeze of the zodiac, wants to frolic in the fall leaves, gives us itchy feet, makes us more social (thanks Mercury) and goal oriented (thanks Mars). To get the most out of Libra season do as the Libra’s do: Lean into that basic (but classy) b*tch energy. Sometimes things are basic because they're just so dang good they become a classic staple. Eat sweets, go on a hike to see the fall leaves, paint your nails, buy a new makeup palette, carve a pumpkin, go fly a kite, focus on building relationships, and get out there and drink a butterbeer with your friends this month. 

The season peak will take place on the New Moon on Oct 6th (a good day for fresh starts, especially for partnerships, romance, and chasing after goals and dreams).

Now thanks to their fair-mindedness, Libra season usually brings ease in communications... but this month we may start off with some mixed messages because there are not just one but SIX planets in retrograde: Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mercury (of course).

Retrogrades are a Reflection: Time to Take A Good Look 

When: October 1st-18th

Now I know ya’ll think you know what retrograde is about: finally being able to blame chaos, break-ups, crying in the bathroom, fights over who did the dishes last, and miscommunications on the planets...right? 

Well, not exactly. It’s time for some tough love ya’ll.

Sure planets in rx bring in the chaos. Retrogrades are about shaking loose the baggage that needs to GO in your life, and that kind of letting go, and change can bring up nostalgia, painful memories and all kinds of stuff. But it’s up to you to respond to that internal chaos as best you can. You are the gardener and your internal world is your garden. Tend it. Do’t ignore what your inner being is trying to tell you or your thought garden might turn carnivorous. 

The enlightened know that passing the buck onto the planets instead of taking accountability gets you nowhere. It’s your responsibility to communicate effectively your wants, needs, and desires. Not everyone is an empath or telepath, so just try to communicate with people as if they can’t read your mind or your intentions. Be clear. CRYSTAL clear. You might think you’re sending out clear non-verbal signals, but if they’re not getting the message, then it’s best to just to use your words. 

Also if you miscommunicate, get caught in gossip or lose your cool this month passing the blame on to Mercury RX doesn’t negate your bad behavior-remember, it’s your responsibility to apologize if you f*ck it up. And even though apologies can be tough for some,  others will appreciate your humility and your willingness to hold yourself accountable. 

So when retrograde chaos rears its head you’ll be much better served if you focus on the 4 R’s of Retrograde: Remember, Review, Reflect, Revise and LISTEN. Okay, so listen isn’t one of the 4 R’s of Retrograde...but it should be. Being curious about others thoughts, feelings, and how they are experiencing you can clue you in on what you need to do to mend bridges.

Still, if retrogrades have a tendency to really mess with you- you’ll be relieved to hear that Pluto, Mercury, Saturn and Jupiter will all exit their backwards somersault and go direct again by the end of the second week of October.

Note: Pluto, planet of transformation, is in Capricorn. Saturn (planet of self-discipline) and Jupiter (planet of luck) are in Aquarius. 

Venus in Sagittarius 

When: October 7th-Nov 5th

If you’ve ever dated a ‘Tarius- you know that the fiery truthseeker is a free-spirit at heart. One thing I really admire about Sagittarius is their ability to be open-minded, optimistic in relationships, but also dead set on maintaining their individuality and independence. 

Let’s face it- some of us have become pretty darn codependent during the pandemic, and especially during Libra season it can be tough to maintain a sense of self separate from your partners. Sag teaches us that sharing lives doesn’t mean sharing identities, this month remember to invest in yourself. Attend a class or workshop in something you’re interested in, join a club or acting troop, or carve out some time every week to focus on just you and things you love to do. Your happiness and the things you love to do are worth investing in. 

The other thing Venus is Sagittarius brings to us this month is the opportunity to GO WILD, BIG and UNCONVENTIONAL when it comes to our dating life. Venus will go OUT-OF-BOUNDS from October 9th to December 7th. Out of bounds planets tend to jump the track and take off in whatever direction suits them and Venus is no different. This month Venus will urge us to toss aside conventions and taboos and follow our hearts regardless of whether it seems unconventional, overachieving or imbalanced in the eyes of societal expectations. 

It’s not rebelling for the sake of rebelling. It’s acknowledging your long-held truth. Embrace it. Like most planets there is a light and a dark side, to it, and what you experience tells you about what side of the planet you’re currently living on so while you open yourself up to new possibilities, also get ready for potentially tumultuous and unusual relationships, overspending and over romanticizing. 

Aries Full Moon

When: Oct 20th

Lead yourself to victory. Be bold in achieving your goals.

Scorpio Season: Deep Emotions, Camouflaged Hearts

When: Oct 22nd-Nov 21st

What do fire and water make? Steaminess. 

The Aries full moon, fiery Sag in Venus, coupled with Mars and the Sun in Scorpio make for a sexy time towards the end of the month. Those with fire and water placements will have an especially high libido. This is a good time to surprise your partner with a sexy halloween costume, chocolate covered strawberries, some light kink, and a good time. (Consent is sexy. So just make sure you check in with them first before you try anything too new.)

Also big WINNING energy is comes with the Sun and Mars entering Scorpio. This time tends to bring up deep emotions (Thanks but also no thanks to Scorpio, luv u Scorpio boos, but dang like do you have to FEEL SO MUCH all the time?), give us that creative flair for the dramatic that will help us win the Halloween costume contest, and fix our eyes upon our goals like scary blood red robot laser beams.

You might feel an urge to keep certain emotions hidden and protected during this season. Are you trying to protect others or yourself? Your urge to protect is your long held fierceness. Embrace it. But be mindful your thought garden isn’t getting watered with unshared emotions that make your heart wilt like a blackened rose. 

Astrology as a Tool of Self-Reflection

It’s important to remember that anything I write here is meant to be used as a tool of reflection  and self-awareness and not as a hard prediction. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately we each must decide our own path in life. Astrology is a tool we use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond. It helps us pay attention to our physical and emotional states and opens us up to new ways of navigating our thoughts and actions. 

The astro literate are encouraged to read their moon sign (represents your inner self, the subconscious and the emotional self) and venus sign (represents what makes us happy and the way you are in relationships) first.

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Happy Birthday Libra!

Your Samhain/Halloween Horoscope: Avoid getting competitive this Halloween, tensions can be high around the holidays and putting extra pressure on the situation is 100% not necessary.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Happy Birthday Scorpio!

Your Samhain/Halloween Horoscope: You’ve swerved way off course this Halloween Scorpio. Did you forget to invite your bestie to the party? Did you pick a fight with someone and now it’s coming back to bite you? Better double check your plans or you might spend the night caught up in drama rather than having the spookiest time of your life.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Your Samhain/Halloween Horoscope: The stars tell me that although you were kind of looking forward to this fun holiday, this year you might crash early if you’ve been burning those tapered candles at both ends. Get plenty or rest, hydrate, and if you need to relax instead of impressing your boss by attending some half-hearted Halloween work party- by all means embrace the self care ~vibes~.
