Welcome to the week of August 14th. Let's see what is happening in the Astro chart for this week. Midweek, on the 16th, we have a new Moon, which means the Sun and the Moon are conjunct, at the exact degree in the same sign, which is the sign of Leo.  

This is a great new Moon for everyone and not just for Leo, as it is a message for all of us to stand up for ourselves, show up for ourselves, and first of all do what is right for us, and only then can we be there for others. So, use energy to work on your self-worth, knowing that we are always learning and mostly we learn from relationships, and that can mean the relationship we have with ourselves, our inner self, and of course, with others. 

At the same time, the Sun will square Uranus, and yes, a square is traditionally challenging. The Sun is in the sign of Leo, and Uranus is in Taurus, and as these are fixed signs, the lessons presented with this astral aspect is to have patience, and then to put yourself in the other...

Welcome to the August planetary overview and highlights for 2023. The month kicks off with the full Moon in Aquarius, which highlights our need for freedom, independence, and connections with others. It's a great opportunity to gain a balance in our lives. On the same day, Mars will interact with Jupiter in an astral transition, creating opportunities to think more about the big picture and take action. 

In the second week of August, the Sun and Jupiter will square, which can be useful to show you what you don't want, so you gain clarity of what you do want. The conjunction of Venus and the Sun later in the week creates a fascinating time for love or monetary issues. However, keep in mind that Venus is still retrograde, highlighting past situations for either healing or closure.

The third week starts with the new Moon in Leo, a time to cast aside self-doubts and get clear about where you're heading and what you need to do to arrive at your desired destination. It's about taking...

This week commences with an interaction between the Sun and Jupiter. The Sun, being in Leo, happy Birthday to our Leo friends! And Jupiter, in the sign of Taurus, and ruled by Venus. This is a square interaction, which traditionally is a challenging aspect, however, between these two planets, the Sun and Jupiter, plus the governing energy of Venus here as well, it’s not so much of a challenge. Instead, this aspect can provide valuable insight into what doesn't align with your life path right now. It can help you clarify what you truly desire in life. Sometimes we need to see what we don’t want to know what we do want, and that’s what this planetary square is really very good for. However, be mindful that this square occurs in two fixed signs, so it's important to remain open-minded and embrace change. Avoid being too stubborn or set in your ways. By embracing change, you can move forward in the direction that aligns with your goals. 

Midweek, there will be...

This week commences with a few astral aspects on the 1st of August. First, there is a full Moon in Aquarius, which means the Moon is in Aquarius and the Sun is opposite in Leo. This full Moon will help you to focus attention on yourself and more importantly, on where you feel you are in your life and where you want to be, and to make decisions to head in that direction. It highlights free-thinking independence and taking control of your life, while also setting boundaries for yourself.

On the same day, there is a Trine astral aspect between Mars and Jupiter. The Trine aspect is representative of an easy passage. Things can tend to fall into place when under the influence of a Trine. However, you do need to be aware of a few things. First, notice opportunities that are coming your way and tune into the Jupiter energy by being grateful for options that present opportunities, possibilities, or chance meetings, and be appreciative of any financial windfalls or extra cash that comes your...

This is a quiet week for planetary transitions, and interactions, which gives us all a chance to take a step back and think through where we are right now, and where we want to be, especially as we’re past the midyear point now, so we need to focus on what we want to accomplish for 2023.  

This week commences with the Moon in Libra and this energy helps us to way up the pros and cons, and then by Tuesday evening, the 25th, the Moon will make its way into Scorpio, which helps us go deeper into how we feel about realizations that have come up. The week concludes with the Moon entering Sagittarius, the freedom-loving sign, and over the following weekend, the 29th and 30th, the Moon will transition into Capricorn, which helps us get organized and get ready for the week ahead. 

Midweek, Mercury the communication planet will conjunct (at the same degree, same sign) with Venus, and as Venus governs both love and money, we can expect communications to be taking place on this...

Welcome to the week of July 17, and on the very first day of this week, Mercury, the communication planet, will square, which is a challenging aspect, with Jupiter, the planet of abundance and expansion. However, a square between these two planets is not so challenging, although there is a warning, that if something sounds too good to be true then guess what, it probably is. So, make sure you do your research. 

Midweek, the Sun will interact with Neptune, and as this Trine aspect is in water signs, it’s great to get inspired, get these creative juices going, and let your imagination go wild. To do this, it’s always best to have a little time off so you can be reflective.  

At the same time, Mars will be in opposition to Saturn, and the vibratory energy of these two planets is opposite. Mars is action-orientated, and Saturn is conservative and cautious. Also, the opposition between these two is contrary. Mars sits in Virgo and Saturn and Pisces; Virgo is a...

This week commences with Mars, the planet of action and motivation, making its way from the fire sign of Leo, where it’s comfortable with the fire sign energy, into the more cautious earth sign of Virgo. In this position certainly, you can expect to be thinking faster and it’s a good time to be mindful to capture sparks of insight that you won’t want to miss. The challenge here with Mars in Virgo is Mars wants to push forward with speed and Virgo likes to think things through. So, just be aware that when an opportunity comes up with a Mars vibration, it doesn't always stay around for too long. If it’s something that you think it’s going to be good for you, you won't want to take too long with making up your mind. However, use the Virgo energy to do your research, and then you can quickly decide whether it’s right for you or not. 

At the same time, Mercury, the planet of communication and creativity in education, makes his move from the...

This week starts with the full moon in Capricorn, which means that the moon is actually situated in Capricorn while the sun is in Cancer, so this will help us get out of our logic and focus more on our intuition. So, for this week, endeavor to get in touch more with how you’re feeling and also to be in touch more with being in the present. What’s going on right now for you, how are you feeling right now, try and integrate your intuition and your inner guidance with your logic and the busyness of your life. This is really a message to be present and step out of the busyness even just for a few moments every couple of hours just to check in with what's going on inside you and how you are feeling, OK?

As we move through the week,  Mercury, the planet of communication, creativity, and education, will sextile, which is an astral aspect of opportunity and possibilities, and it’s interacting with Uranus, and in this case, you can have an opportunity, which can come...

Here are the highlights for July 23 with the astral planetary transits so let’s get started. Scroll down for the link to the video with all 12 signs

In the first week of July, right on the 1st, the Sun in Cancer will sextile with Jupiter and Taurus. Anything to do with the Sun and Jupiter together is amazing for manifestation, and in this case, it’s a combination of earth and water signs, so you want to get down to business? However, don’t neglect your inner wisdom, your intuition it’s important to tune in to see how you’re feeling about things, does it feel right, yes, then go ahead.  If it does not feel right, then search for more information, and my suggestion would be not to go ahead until it both looks and feels right. Putting all that aside, the Sun and Jupiter together always bring opportunities, so watch out for that.

This month's full Moon on the third is in Capricorn, and for a full moon, it means that there’s an axis between the...

The week commences on the 26th with Mercury, the planet of communication, creativity, and education, as it makes a move from Gemini, one of the signs Mercury rules, into the more sensitive water sign of Cancer. With Mercury in Cancer, we can expect to be noticing more of how we feel rather than be in our head, and conversations can be more heartfelt. This is a very nice time to connect with people and build closer and deeper relationship bonds.

On the same day, the 26th, planet Mars in Leo will square, which is a challenging astral aspect, with Uranus in Taurus. This aspect can cause a little frustration as Uranus can bring things to fruition straight out of the blue, and of course, Mars wants to get straight into the action. So, there is a warning here, not to move too quickly, otherwise crucial details and information can be overlooked.

Midweek, on the 28th, the energy of the Sun, now in the sign of Cancer, will Trine, which is an easy path of least resistance aspect, with logical...
