Astrology Forecast February 5 – 11, 2024
Mercury moves into Aquarius today, challenging us to think differently for the next few weeks. Breaking out of old molds and thought processes will be the challenge as the rulin planet of communication, intellect, and the mind moves through this electric sign.
Our most productive days of the week will be tomorrow and Wednesday as the Moon marches through Capricorn, so get your to-do list completed before the fireworks and celebrations begin, as this week marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year 2024.
This year we celebrate the Year of the Dragon, more specifically, Wood Dragon. An Aquarius New Moon occurs on Friday, February 9th, which officially kicks off Chinese New Year on February 10th, lasting until January 28th, 2025.
The Year of the Dragon is any esteemed year in Chinese culture, as it is associated with strength, prosperity, and good fortune. In the Chinese zodiac, each year is associated with one of the twelve animal signs, and the Dragon is the only mythical creature in the cycle. People born in the Year of the Dragon are believed to inherit the dragon’s characteristics, which include intelligence, ambition, courage, and a strong sense of justice. Continue reading
Astrology Forecast January 29 – February 4, 2024
The week begins with great energy to get your show on the road with three determined Virgo Moon trines this morning.
The first trine with Mars in Capricorn will kick off the day with decisive action, willpower and resourcefulness, followed by a trine with Uranus in Taurus to promote creativity, originality and an innovative mindset. The third trine with Mercury in Capricorn will seal the deal with some quick-witted intelligence, sound judgment and practical thinking.
Get as much done today as you can to set the stage for the week ahead, for when the Moon moves into Libra tomorrow, our work ethic will take a backseat to our social and emotional lives. You may find yourself more interested in social activities, spending time with friends and nurturing your relationships.
The Moon moves into Scorpio on Thursday afternoon, bringing a more intense energy through Saturday. Some of us will be drawn to spiritual and esoteric pursuits, while others will take on projects that require intense focus and attention, like taxes, haha!
Watch out for the Scorpio Moon square Pluto in Aquarius on Thursday afternoon, as this transit is known to cause drama and conflict. Think twice before you lash out and avoid fights over taxes, joint finances, debt or alimony!
Astrology Forecast January 8 – 14, 2024
There may be lots of talk and very little action today and tomorrow due to the Sagittarius Moon, but this vibe will serve to get many of us back into work mode after the holidays, so don’t stress too much if you don’t get much done.
Luckily, there will be plenty of inspiring energy for new beginnings with the Capricorn New Moon on Thursday. This aspect will get us back on our feet and we’ll be able to catch up in record time, enabling us to tie up loose ends from last year and put a stake in the ground for new ventures.
Tonight’s Mercury in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces may be emotionally challenging, especially if you have been dealing with mental health issues. If you feel unwell or begin to spiral during this transit, beware of self-medicating with alcohol, medication, drugs, or stimulants.
Instead, engage in activities that promote relaxation and stress reduction, such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, journaling, or progressive muscle relaxation.
It is also important to stay grounded, calm and realistic during this time, and to avoid making rash decisions or engaging in wishful thinking. If you feel overwhelmed, reach out to a trusted friend, family member, support helpline, or mental health professional.
Astrology Forecast January 1 – 7, 2024
Happy New Year! May your 2024 be a cosmic symphony of love, joy and fulfillment.
May the ancient wisdom of the stars and planets inspire you to dance to the rhythm of your heart this year. May the coming year usher in an era of spiritual expansion for you to discover even more of the limitless power you have within to create the life of your dreams!
The first day of 2024 begins on an auspicious note as Mercury goes direct, putting an end to confusion, miscommunication, technology failures, and travel chaos. But give it a few days to right itself before you make any big plans for the new year. Once Mars moves into hardworking Capricorn on Thursday, we’ll be ready to go full speed ahead, carving a path into the future and putting our plans into action!
The Moon will cruise through Virgo on Monday and Tuesday, filling our heads with ideas and opinions that we would be wise to hold off on just yet.
Let the Libra Moon on Wednesday and Thursday restore our balance before we act on those ideals.
A Scorpio Moon rules the skies Friday through Saturday, where we’ll be looking for more spiritual and inner ways to fill our time. If you are back at work this week, Friday will be an excellent time for business meetings, sales pitches, and financial decisions as the Scorpio Moon trines Saturn in Pisces.
Astrology Forecast December 25 – 31, 2023
Happy holidays! As the year comes to a close and a new one unfolds, I wish you a season of joy, peace, and personal growth. May the eternal wisdom of the stars and planets guide you, and may the spirit of the season fill your heart with hope and wonder.
We close out the year with some significant astrological shifts this week. Today is blessed with a Gemini Moon, which promotes social interaction, lots of communication, and a sense of fun and good times. An ideal lunar energy for holiday gatherings and celebrations!
A Venus in Scorpio trine to Neptune in Pisces with its loving energy could not be more perfectly timed. The kindness you show others during this transit will be returned to you as a karmic reward. It’s a wonderful time to spend with friends and family.
Tomorrow the moon will be full in Cancer, focusing our attention on home, family and security. This may be a good day to pause and consider a new budget for 2024, or at least take a look at spending over the past few months to get an idea of where you stand. The Moon continues to move through Cancer on Wednesday and Thursday, so you may feel like taking advantage of a lull in activity to regroup and reset.
Astrology Forecast December 18 – 24, 2023
The moon glides through Pisces today and tomorrow, bringing a more spiritual tone to the beginning of our week. Those of us who are more sensitive will be more heart-centered and philosophical.
A Mercury in Capricorn trine to Jupiter in Taurus this morning will be very beneficial for business and career prospects. It is a great time to ask for that job offer or apply for that business loan. Just be sure to communicate clearly and effectively, as we are still in the tail end of Mercury Retrograde!
This evening a Pisces Moon trine with Venus in Scorpio will add some romantic spark to love and marriage. Even though it is a ‘school night’ at the beginning of the week, taking that special someone out for a nice dinner could be the start of an entirely new chapter in your relationship life.
Wednesday and Thursday will be busy as the Aries Moon reminds us that there is work to be done before the weekend begins. Fortunately, our energy levels will be elevated and we should easily get through whatever tasks come our way.
The Sun moves into Capricorn when a new zodiac season begins on Thursday, casting a more grounded and safety-conscious aura around us through the end of the year and into the New Year.
Astrology Forecast December 11 – 17, 2023
Mercury goes retrograde again on Wednesday, so if you haven’t already done so, today and tomorrow are your last chance to make sure all your holiday travel arrangements are in order and your digital devices are updated and backed up.
This retrograde will affect our travel, technology, and communications through the end of the year and will not resume forward motion until January 1, 2024, so be prepared for a potentially more challenging holiday season than usual.
A Sagittarius New Moon graces the skies tomorrow, marking the beginning of a two-week cycle for new ideas to emerge. So, while it may seem a little premature, this will actually be a great time to start making some New Year’s resolutions.
If resolutions are not your thing, then simply use this energy influence to release some things that may be holding you back from moving forward. This will ensure that you are super ready to embrace new beginnings and the manifestation of better results in 2024!
The most productive workdays this week will be Wednesday and Thursday as the Moon moves through busy Capricorn, so be sure to take care of anything pressing mid-week. Be careful with your communications, however, as the first signs of Mercury’s retrograde shenanigans may already be surfacing. Don’t text when you’re rushed or distracted, and double-check every email before it goes out.
