10/17 ~ Sun (core identity) ~trine~ Mars (desire):
This is a powerful energy for solidifying who you are, what you want and what you are capable of. It brings out your desire to be truly self-sustained & independent, and with the good angle between Sun & Mars, you are deeply supported for forward movement that feels almost effortless when you are grounded and aligned with your own Truth & Purpose.
10/9 ~ Full Moon in ARIES:
Aries Full Moon affords an incredible opportunity for a clean slate and deep release of that which is no longer part of your identity or purpose. It’s also a good time to release anything that creates imbalance within you or blocks your true independence in the world. This Full Moon kicks off another year of *Release Work*, which also means that you just completed a whole year of it too, so give your Self credit where credit is due.
9/11 ~ Sun (core identity) ~trine~ Uranus (individuality):
This energy is wonderful for a little self-examination and taking action on your own behalf. Look at your habits, home situation, work or anything else that is important to you and look at how you’ve gotten to where you are. What kind of choices led here? This is a good time to look around and see how you can conserve what is useful and release that which is no longer relevant for you going forward. It’s also a good energy for organizing & clearing the decks, so to speak, of things that have piled up but still need to be dealt with (or released altogether). You may be feeling very practical, possibly selfish, but it’s actually self-preservation.
8/14 ~ Sun (core essential Self) ~oppose~ Saturn (physical limits & definition of reality):
This is an annual process of development. The Sun makes it personal and about you the individual. Saturn helps move your timeline along and build the literal aspects of life, the basics of providing for yourself (food, shelter etc) and your personal limitations. What renewed aspect of Self got activated about 6-months ago and how do you want that to fully develop over the next 6-months? This is a potent midpoint, the most powerful course-correcting time in any cycle, this one being an annual meeting between Sun & Saturn, a check-point between you and your responsibilities. Each year, you evolve, some years more consciously than others so this is a good time to check-in with your own personal definitions of what you are or are no longer responsible for.
7/25 ~ Juno Retro in PISCES (until Oct 23rd):
Juno, the Divine Consort, rules your most important relationships & partnerships, as well as what you are deeply committed to. She will spend an extended period in *PISCES* this year ~ 4.20.2022 thru 1.13.2023 ~ that’s about 9-months to incubate a New Vision of how we can partner with Nature in new ways and relate with each other on deeper, more intimate levels after being put through so much social & collective trauma over the last 2+ years. This is an opportunity to heal within and with others, it is a chance to process & integrate on a whole new level. This supports deep emotional processing so that we can interact with others in healthier ways too.
7/17 ~ Mercury (ideas) ~trine~ Neptune (dreams):
This energy activates your creative process & intuition. You may catch yourSelf unconsciously drifting aimlessly but a better use of this combination is to open to the other realms for ideas & information and play with it, free flow, see where it leads. It is not the time for pragmatic analysis, but more a time to explore the infinite possibilities available to you, as well as what’s going on in your own consciousness. You may be more sensitive than usual, opening yourself to information or awareness that isn’t always that readily available. Remember, to keep good boundaries when *opening* like this and if you have to be around people, try to maintain the mystical, creative vibe that this energy is best for.
6/13 ~ Mercury Direct RE-Enters GEMINI (until July 6th):
Here we are, on the other side of the Mercury Retrograde in Gemini, which went Direct in Taurus and has now made its way back to Gemini. How is it going with you? We have navigated some big Gemini/Sag Cycles recently (Nodes, Eclipses, Venus Rx and the upcoming Mars Rx) that this Mercury Rx really helped us dial-in where our own consciousness is at this time. How have you completely changed your thinking in the last 3-months – to – 3-years? What new values & priorities have emerged to shift your whole trajectory?
5/15 ~ Ceres Enters CANCER (until July 23rd):
Ceres rules how we nurture and like to be nurtured. As it moves through the Signs, it also moves through your respective Houses, activating your Planets and bringing some much-needed loving, caring, nurturing, maternal energy to those zones. It takes about 5-years for Ceres to move through all 12-Signs so the last time it was in Cancer was July 2017 and (fyi) the next time will be August 2026. It’s time for adjustments & improvements to our personal containers and a concentrated dose of nourishment in our Cancer/Capricorn and Aries/Libra Departments by default. It is a once-in-5-years renewal in the Cancer zone, and this is your Emotional Health & Personal Security, how you process your feelings and secure your home base or foundation.
4/17 ~ Mercury (thoughts) ~sextile~ Venus (art & beauty):
This is a great opportunity to beautify your ideas, improve or deepen them so they are expressing more of your unique authenticity. Communication in relationships usually goes well under this influence. This energy also turns your thoughts and ideas toward how you feel and what inspires you with love & beauty. This is a great time to be particularly creative, or do something that activates your own Inner Artist. It is best to keep it light and let go of your mundane burdens just for a time. Pleasure reading, a walk on the beach, a play or museum are all good things to do at some point this week, if possible.
3/26 ~ Mercury (communication) ~sextile~ Pluto (transformation):
This energy provokes the need to delve deeper into the ideas or information being presented at this time, whether personal or professional. You will want to dig deeper, ask the hard questions and gather insights that are more profound than usual. In your professional/public life, you may find yourself doing better on proper pre-planning & due-diligence and in your personal/private life, you may find yourself digging a little deeper into your own mental patterns & personal history (that have led to ‘now’). As you make these connections and begin to grasp these new insights, they will gain traction and you will become more grounded in your own Truth & Story.
