Astrology, Tarot and More

There is a sprinkle of magic to the energies of the New Moon!  As the Sun and the Moon come together, a new cycle starts. The yin and the yang merge and create fertile cosmic soil to plant your intentions, and to ask the Universe for what you want to come into your life. 

September offers us quite a few gifts. A Grand Trine in Earth, active until Sept. 16, brings the energy of vitality, practical sense and productivity. The Air energy is also strong: collaborate and build your networks, especially online. But, with Mercury turning retrograde on Sept. 26, we're heading into the thick of this year's retrograde season...

A Solar Return is when the Sun returns to the exact degree of the Zodiac it was at the time you were born.   It’s the time of an annual “refresh”, bringing new energies that will be at play for your next 12 months. But also, it's a chance to SHAPE your experience of life, until your next birthday.

Uranus, the planet of freedom, change and the unexpected, turns retrograde on August 19, at 14 degrees Taurus. It goes direct again on Jan. 18 2022, at 10 degrees of Taurus. It`s time to review how you respond to changes in your life, and what personal freedom means to you.

Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, Virgo and Capricorn - there may be changes heading your way.

We are all conscious co-creators of our life. Yes, there will be times when bad things happen to some very good people....but we also have the power to co-direct our life path to manifest our highest potential. I say "co-create" and "co-direct" because our partner - our amazingly powerful partner - is the Universe. 

The Moon cycle is a great way to connect with the cosmic energies and to start manifesting what you desire in your life.  

August is another month that starts with some tense energies, but then the “planetary weather” improves quite a bit. The Sun, Mercury and Venus will all be in their own signs for a portion of August, so their powers are strengthened. We will have many harmonious planetary connections in Earth through the month. Enjoy!

 

For the magically inclined,  Leo Season is a great time of the year to make some glamour oil. A glamour oil imbues you with a specific feeling you want to bring into your life, and also with a specific impression you make on others.  This Leo glamour oil is meant to draw out your warm, glowing, irrepressibly joyful self that draws others to you – and lifts your own spirits. It's not just for Leos! It's for anyone wanting to embrace their inner Lioness (or a Lion!)

Jupiter (opportunities, expansion) continues through this year’s retrograde cycle, moving back into Aquarius on July 28. When a planet retrogrades into the sign, it's like it says, "I have some unfinished business!" Jupiter's return to Aquarius will be asking us to revisit technological expansion, and human interconnectedness.

On a personal level, it can be impactful for Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, Gemini and Libra.

July starts off with some tense energies but then the “planetary weather” improves quite a bit. There is harmonizing Water energy, but also with a healthy dose of action in fiery Leo. It's a great month for Mercury-related pursuits, such as travel, electronic devices, communication activities, and e-commerce. And, July offers some excellent energies for love and romance! 

Some time ago, I wrote about this year’s Saturn-Uranus square affecting the financial sector, bringing social unrest, and shaking us out of old paradigms.  As I attended an investment seminar this week, I shook my head in amazement. Every financial trend this year screamed “Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus!”

We're heading into the eclipse season, starting with a Lunar Eclipse on May 26 2021, at 5 degrees Sagittarius. A Solar Eclipse on June 10 is to follow, at 19 degrees Gemini. It continues the theme of last year's eclipses, that brought riots in support of social causes, and unrest around the world.

Sagittarius and Gemini, don't miss this post.
