Astrology, Tarot and More

December brings a lot of retrograde energy, but it also has a few great highlights too!  There are a couple of fantastic days for spiritual pursuits, some very good dates for romance, with the most auspicious energy of the month arriving on Dec. 19 (Pacific to Eastern time), when Venus makes a trine to Jupiter. 

September brings very powerful energies. Pluto retrogrades into Capricorn on September 1 - for the last time in our lifetime!   The eclipse season kicks off with a powerhouse of a Lunar Eclipse - the first in a series of Pisces-Virgo eclipses.  And, if you're a Virgo, you might just be the lucky recipient of the planets aligning themselves into a rare Grand Trine/Kite this month! 

July is a good month astrologically.  Mars makes a high number of aspects, and so there are many good dates for career or business undertakings. The first 10 days of the month feature strong Cancer energies.  Focus on your home, family and roots! Neptune turns retrograde on July 2, giving the first two weeks a dreamy, compassionate vibe.

June's energies are book-ended:  the first week offers the best energies of the month, with a very lovely Sun-Venus conjunction (a.k.a. Venus Starpoint), It opens the heart and is one of the best energies of the year for love, healing and acceptance.

Then, the Sun, Mercury and Venus, all in Gemini, take turns butting heads with Saturn and Neptune in Pisces.  It's the energy of confusion, lack of clarity, and frustrating obstacles and delays.

But, celestial peace is restored when the last week of June arrives. 

May is a very lovely and eventful month astrologically.  Jupiter moves into Gemini, bringing opportunities for expansion in new areas.  This month also brings Sun-Jupiter AND Venus-Jupiter conjunctions: two most auspicious dates of the year both happen this month.  Romance, finances, career matters, personal power - May has some strong auspicious dates for all of these areas!

April brings a juxtaposition of planetary energies. We have the drag of Mercury Retrograde, the destabilizing Solar eclipse in Aries - that can also bring immense personal healing - and one of the most anticipated celestial events of 2024, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction!

March features an unusually high number of long Opportunity Periods, several great dates for love and romance, and a magical New Moon in Pisces. 

But, as the month progresses, eclipse energies will start kicking in.  The eclipse season starts with the Lunar Eclipse in Libra on March 25, but we'll feel the energies building for a week prior.  Finally, as the month draws to a close, Mercury slows down in the skies, getting ready to turn retrograde on April 1.

Start the month with clearing out what is no longer working for you. Then set your intentions for positive change on the New Moon in Aquarius. If you need to get unstuck, this Aquarius Season has just the right energies!

Sit out the days around the Mars-Pluto conjunction.  Then take advantage of some great energies for love and romance.  And if you need to sign or negotiate a contract, pitch an important presentation at work, or cinch a commitment, try to schedule them at the end of February!  

Happy New Year!  January is a stellar month.  It brings some very auspicious energies for work, career, business and other practical matters. Don't miss the great energies closing out the month!
