Astrology Forecast July 15 – 21, 2024
This morning the combined influences of Sun square Chiron, Scorpio Moon quincunx Jupiter, and Mars conjunction Uranus create a complex and dynamic start to the week.
The influence of the Moon in Scorpio will add even more intensity and a desire for deep change to the mix of emotional sensitivity, need for balance and strong drive for change that these three aspects evoke. This can be both challenging and empowering, depending on how you navigate these energies today.
Try to begin the day with a grounding practice, such as meditation or journaling, to help you manage any emotional turbulence. Clarify your goals for the week and create a flexible plan that can accommodate both your needs and your ambitions. Above all, be open to unexpected changes and opportunities, as adaptability will be key to navigating these unbalanced energies today.
Tomorrow morning will be a good time to do business with the Scorpio Moon trine Saturn in Pisces, especially if you need to sell your ideas to senior management or important clients. This harmonious aspect allows for a seamless integration of emotional intelligence with practical action, leading to better customer understanding, trust building, problem solving, and overall financial efficiency.
The Sagittarius Moon on Wednesday and Thursday brings a burst of optimism, an adventurous spirit, and a desire to explore. This mid-week aspect promotes enthusiasm and a sense of freedom, helping us to break out of routine and infuse our week with inspiration and excitement. Seek out new experiences, embrace learning opportunities, and think expansively. It’s an ideal time to expand our horizons, both mentally and physically, and to take a more optimistic and open-minded approach to challenges.
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!
The Seven Angels Of The Planetary Week
If you are reading this, you are probably familiar with the idea that the angelic realm watches over us. Angels are divine beings who constantly protect, guide, and support humanity.
Each of us has a guardian angel assigned to us at birth, who remains by our side throughout our lives, providing constant protection and guidance.
While guardian angels have a more intimate and personal role in our lives, archangels oversee broader aspects of our existence and can provide specialized support, guidance, and assistance. For example, Michael offers protection, Raphael provides healing, and Gabriel helps us communicate.
It is often assumed that archangels are a purely Christian concept, when in fact they are deeply rooted in various religious, mystical, and cultural traditions. Our modern knowledge of the archangels can be traced back through a complex interplay of mythology, theology, and mysticism across many civilizations and time periods.
Early accounts of such powerful celestial beings can be found, for example, in the mythologies of Mesopotamia and Canaan. These cultures had divine messengers who can be seen as precursors to the concept of archangels. One of the clearest early influences on the development of archangelic figures can be found in Zoroastrianism. The Amesha Spentas, or “Holy Immortals,” are divine beings who serve Ahura Mazda, the Supreme God. These beings resemble later archangelic figures in their roles and attributes.
What is also not commonly known about the archangels is that each day of the week is traditionally associated with a specific angel. This tradition is rooted in a fascinating blend of ancient astronomy, mythology, and religious mysticism, including Kabbalistic teachings, Christian mysticism, and angelology. It is the result of associating the days of the week with the seven classical planets, which in turn are traditionally associated with seven archangels.
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.
Astrology Forecast March 18 – 24, 2024
Happy Astrological New Year! Late tomorrow night, the Sun will enter Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, marking the annual beginning of the astrological year and a brand new season.
This event is known as the Vernal or Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumnal Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.
It typically occurs on March 20 or 21 each year, although the exact date and time can vary slightly due to the leap year cycle. It marks the point in time when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving northward.
The Vernal Equinox represents a time of balance between day and night, after which the days begin to become longer than the nights, signaling the beginning of spring and a time of renewal and new beginnings.
Aries symbolizes initiation, action, and a pioneering spirit, making the Sun’s entry into Aries a fitting start to the astrological cycle. This is an optimal time to set intentions, start new projects, and embark on new ventures.
The Astrological New Year encourages us to reflect on the past, set goals for the future, and embrace the energy of renewal and growth. It’s a time to take bold steps forward, assert our individuality, and pursue our passions with courage and enthusiasm.
Astrology Forecast March 4 – 10, 2024
This week’s astrological outlook promises the potential for significant personal transformation, creativity and new beginnings, especially in spiritual and imaginative endeavors. It is a great time to embrace change, pursue your passions, and connect with others on a deeper level. However, the weekend holds potential for conflict and relationship drama.
This morning’s Sagittarius Moon is ideal for doing research, asking for help, or putting together an itinerary for an upcoming vacation or celebration. Gathering more information will give any project we are working on a solid foundation.
Additional value will be added to our plans when the Moon enters Capricorn later today, prompting reflection on our direction and possible need for change. Also, Mercury in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus this afternoon, encouraging unconventional ideas and enthusiasm for change.
Speaking of solid foundations, tomorrow and Wednesday’s Capricorn Moon sets a productive tone, encouraging us to set new boundaries with others in order to move forward more effectively. Don’t be afraid to speak up if someone is trying to steal your energy or block your movement; it’s time to be heard! The Capricorn Moon sextile the Pisces Sun tomorrow morning will increase your confidence to say and do what is necessary.
