Astrology Forecast June 24 – 30, 2024
How we express ourselves this week will reveal whether or not people are listening, as the Aquarius Moon today and tomorrow encourages us to be more assertive and clear in our communication. We all have different styles, but if you feel like no one is listening, it’s time to explore alternative ways of getting your message across.
With the Moon in Aquarius, you may also feel a shift towards a more rational and detached approach to your emotions. The energy of this aspect encourages innovative thinking and a strong desire for independence.
You may be drawn to unconventional ideas and new technologies today, feeling less bound by traditional norms. It’s an excellent time to embrace change, explore new hobbies and connect with like-minded people who share your forward-thinking outlook.
Social and humanitarian interests also come to the fore under this lunar influence. Engaging in group activities or community projects today and tomorrow will bring a sense of fulfillment and purpose. Relationships may take on a more intellectual and less emotionally intense tone, valuing mutual respect and personal freedom. Use this time to think creatively, plan for the future and challenge the status quo, making sure to balance your need for independence with your need to connect with others.
Our most productive days of the week will be Friday and Saturday under the Aries Moon, when our energy returns and our resolve expands. An Aries Moon greatly increases productivity by giving us high energy, motivation, and a proactive mindset. This lunar influence encourages quick decision-making, assertiveness, and a strong drive to start and complete tasks efficiently.
Astrology Forecast June 17 – 23, 2024
Cancer vibes reign supreme this week as Mercury, Venus and the Moon all transit into this emotional water sign today, followed by the Sun on Thursday, heralding the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
The annual summer solstice marks a time of renewal and growth. With several planets in Cancer at the time of this year’s summer solstice, this week is likely to be especially potent for personal development and home life.
This powerful astrological alignment will especially affect our emotions, relationships, communication, and overall energy. The alignment of these planets will create a harmonious and balanced energy, ideal for starting new projects related to home and family.
This configuration can also be a powerful time for emotional healing and the release of past traumas. It’s a good time to focus on self-care and nurturing your emotional well-being.
But proceed with caution, as emotions can run deep this week, leading to increased sensitivity and possibly moodiness. Decisions may also be influenced more by feelings than logic. Instead, use this emotional energy to honor your feelings and those of others. You may feel a greater need to care for others and to seek emotional security.
In terms of communication, our conversations may focus more on home, family and emotional issues. We will feel a greater need for security and comfort in love. There may be a focus on personal safety, both emotional and physical. Prioritize strengthening family bonds and creating a nurturing home environment. This week is a good time to set goals related to home improvement or family matters.
Astrology Forecast June 10 – 16, 2024
A very quiet cosmic week awaits us with no major astrological events on the calendar. The only significant change this week began yesterday when Mars entered Taurus, where it will remain for the next six weeks until July 20, 2024.
During this transit we may notice an increased focus on persistence, determination and tangible results. Mars in Taurus encourages us to take a steady, methodical approach to pursuing our goals, rather than rushing headlong into action.
We may be more inclined to work diligently and patiently toward our ambitions, valuing consistency and reliability over impulsiveness.
In addition, Mars in Taurus can increase our desire for comfort, security and material pleasures. We may feel motivated to assert ourselves in matters of finances, possessions, or physical well-being.
However, it’s important to be aware of the potential for stubbornness or resistance to change during this time, as Taurus energy can be resistant to upheaval or disruption.
Overall, Mars in Taurus invites us to ground our actions in practicality, perseverance, and the pursuit of long-term stability. It’s a time for taking deliberate, measured steps toward our goals and cultivating a sense of resilience and determination in the face of challenges.
Tonight a Leo Moon sextile Mercury in Gemini brings a harmonious blend of emotional expression and mental agility. You may feel more confident and expressive in communicating your feelings and ideas this evening. The energy of this transit tends to encourage lively conversation and social interaction, making it a great time for social gatherings, creative projects, or mentally stimulating activities that may keep you up well past your bedtime!
Spiritual Practices To Improve Your Mental Health
Mental health has become a critical focus for many in recent years. While traditional methods such as counseling, therapy, and medication are essential in addressing mental health issues, the mental health benefits of spirituality are often overlooked.
Everyone’s mental well-being is affected at some point by the challenges of modern life. It is common to feel out of balance when our world seems to be spinning out of control, or when it seems that we are not getting the things we most want in our lives.
Most people don’t realize that spiritual connection is essential to our mental health and facilitates well-being on all levels. Because mental health issues have such a low and heavy vibration, they make it difficult and sometimes impossible to feel the presence of God, Source, Spirit, the Divine in our lives.
But by working daily to establish a strong connection with your spirit guides and higher source, you are taking a powerful step toward freeing yourself from the grip of these inner demons and dark energies.
Spirituality in its various forms is a powerful way to connect with yourself and the world, fostering a deeper sense of inner peace and purpose for a more balanced and fulfilling life. Research clearly shows that various spiritual practices can significantly improve mental health. These practices offer complementary benefits to traditional mental health treatments, promoting emotional resilience, stress reduction, and overall psychological well-being.
Personally, I have found that spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, and journaling give me greater access to guidance and support from the spirit realm and my guides. Our guides are a wonderful source of healing, guidance, and direction. Getting in touch with our guides can actually help us get out of a funk because they have the ability to set us free and empower us on every level.
Astrology Forecast June 3 – 9, 2024
There’s an influx of Gemini energy this week. Along with the Sun, which is currently moving through this versatile sign, Mercury (the planet that rules Gemini) moves into Gemini today, followed by a Gemini New Moon on Thursday.
As Mercury enters Gemini, the planet of communication, intellect, and travel moves into the sign it naturally rules, amplifying its influence. Over the next two weeks we will experience heightened mental activity, more effective communication, and increased social interaction, making for exciting conversations, heated debates, and the exchange of ideas.
Our social lives will take center stage this week with social gatherings, networking, and meeting new people. We will be more curious than usual and have a heightened desire for new knowledge, information and learning. Be prepared for some unexpected discoveries. Creatives who write, speak and perform will feel especially inspired.
On the downside, we may have difficulty making decisions, and the prevalence of Gemini energy can bring a sense of restlessness and impatience. It’s important to channel this energy constructively, keeping yourself busy with meaningful tasks and not spreading your focus too thinly.
Fortunately, a Taurus Moon today and tomorrow brings some balance with its grounded, practical, and steady energy that can enhance productivity, financial planning, and stability. It encourages a patient, methodical approach to the start of the week, while also reminding us to appreciate comfort and well-being.
Praying For Your Departed Loved Ones
A client recently asked me if there is any benefit to praying for a loved one who has passed away? Does it make a difference in their transition to their new plane of existence? Can it somehow assist them in their continued existence in the afterlife? Can they even hear us?
We can absolutely connect with the spirits of those who have passed on, although it may sometimes feelas if they cannot hear us. Whether we are praying for them, talking to them, or simply grieving for them, we are connecting with them on a spiritual level and they are hearing us.
In fact, praying for our deceased loved ones has a very positive effect on their soul journey and they deeply appreciate it.
Some people believe that when we die, we go to some blissful realm of perfect existence where all our problems and karmic debts are instantly resolved, or left behind on the earth plane for others to deal with or pick up the pieces. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Most of us will pass away someday with some unresolved issues, negative feelings, resentments, grudges, or regrets that we will need to continue to work on in the afterlife. Of course, some of us will have much more to work on than others. Just because we leave this physical world does not mean that we are free of all our responsibilities and no longer accountable for anything or anyone.
It is therefore helpful to send our prayers to departed loved ones to help them with whatever spiritual or karmic “baggage” they may be taking along with them on their journey to the other side. Although they may leave behind symptoms of illness or financial debt, for example, their spiritual ailments will still need to be healed.
Astrology Forecast May 27 – June 2, 2024
After all the astrological activity of the past week, a much quieter week awaits, with no major calendar shifts.
The first three days of the week bring innovative and exciting energy under the Aquarius Moon, encouraging us to explore new ideas, embrace change, and think outside the box. Aquarius is associated with innovation, progressiveness, and out-of-the-box thinking.
It will be a good time for brainstorming and trying new approaches. It’s also a favorable energetic opportunity for setting intentions related to progress, innovation, and social connections.
Aquarius is an air sign, also known for its intellectual and somewhat detached approach to emotion. When the Moon is in Aquarius, there can be a tendency toward emotional objectivity and a desire for independence. You may find yourself or others focusing more on rationality than on emotional expression.
You may also have a greater appreciation for intellectual pursuits and stimulating conversation, and be more inclined to engage in discussions about society, technology, and future possibilities. We may also experience a heightened interest in community involvement, activism, or connecting with like-minded people who share similar ideals.
We may need to keep our emotions in check on Wednesday due to the Aquarius Moon square Uranus in Taurus, as this aspect is known to cause emotional tension and instability. Aquarius is already associated with unpredictability, while Uranus rules sudden change and disruption. This combination can lead to feelings of restlessness, impulsiveness, or mood swings. It may be difficult to relax or concentrate, leading to scattered thoughts or a feeling of being on edge.
