Astrology Forecast March 13 – 19, 2023
This week’s cosmic energies are likely to intensify our workload and stress levels, and we will probably be running on all cylinders until the weekend. So, staying focused and keeping our noses to the grindstone will be the most sensible way forward.
The Sagittarius Moon will at least help to keep us balanced as we sort through the piles of obligations awaiting us today and tomorrow, and a Capricorn Moon will supplement the productive energy we need to get through Wednesday and Thursday.
The Sagittarius Half Moon could cause major family disagreement and drama tomorrow night. This will be even more so due to its square with Neptune in Pisces, which can cause us to be hypersensitive and out of touch with reality, as well as its opposition with Mars in Gemini, which tends to make us hasty, hostile, and even aggressive. Things could indeed get really nasty. So, make a conscious effort to think twice before you overreact, and avoid conflict at all cost. It fact, it may be wise to go to bed early tomorrow night!
Venus will return to domal dignity when it enters Taurus on Wednesday, helping us reorder our priorities before moving forward.
There’ll be a lot of brainstorming and information to sort through under Friday’s Aquarius Moon, so share your ideas and do some thourough research.
Mercury will move into Aries on Saturday, sparking creative and innovative ideas for us to consider, but since it’s the weekend do not neglect your work-life balance. Instead fo working, the main activity should be socializing, catching up with friends, and updating your social media feeds and digital devices to make them more current.
Then, take a breather on Sunday as the Moon drifts through Pisces and allows us to step back from all the demands that have cluttered our week.
Astrology Forecast February 27 – March 5, 2023
Today and tomorrow is a great time for important conversations and implementing dynamic ideas as the Moon speeds through Gemini, accelerating our intellect and negotiation skills. Brainstorming and working with a team will ensure the most productive outcomes. It is also an opportune time to get things off your chest, or share your feelings more openly to create better understanding in your work and personal relationships.
However, keep your attitude and temper in check tonight, as the Gemini Moon’s conjunction with Mars may cause us to be impatient, irritable, and even aggressive. Also, refrain from arrogant rhetoric, boasting about yourself, and participating in gossip, as this lunar aspect can tempt even the most sweet-tempered ‘pollyanna’ into acting like a high school ‘mean girl.’
Once the Moon moves into Cancer on Wednesday, followed by Mercury’s shift into Pisces on Thursday, things will seem to stall and could get a bit blurry. Mercury doesn’t sit very well in water signs and when it is in Pisces we tend to feel torn between heart and mind, so practice extra caution with your words and actions.
Thursday’s evening Cancer Moon trine with Neptune in Pisces offers a lovely opportunity for artistic expression and spiritual practice. It will be a wonderful time for creating art, composing music, meditation, journaling, or reading tarot cards.
The remainder of the week will glow more brightly under the Leo Moon, and though we may not get much done, we’ll celebrate the wonder of our lives on a deeper soul level.
Astrology Forecast February 6 – 12, 2023
This week’s cosmic energy is all about the mind, including new ideas and alternative ways of looking at things, that will lead us to bigger and better things. We won’t need to re-invent the wheel, but we should consider new uses for old objects, reorganizing our stale schedules and goals, and implement better energy flow in our home with a mini-remodel or feng shui project.
This morning’s Leo Moon opposite Saturn in Aquarius could cause no end of trouble at home, so keep a low profile and stay calm. This opposition is notorious for inspiring arguments and drama, especially regarding the children and household finances.
The Moon travels through Virgo later today until Wednesday, expanding our mental capacity and boosting our organizational skills. We will need to take care not to be too idealistic or overly critical. Expressing our opinions calmly, while remaining open to the ideas of others, will pay off handsomely!
Thursday and Friday are all about balance and equilibrium under the Libra Moon. The keyword here is vision. A great idea may land in your lap, but think it through for a few days before you jump to implement it.
The only significant planetary shift this week is Mercury’s electric transit into Aquarius on Saturday. Combined with this weekend’s Scorpio Moon and the Sun currently in Aquarius, it will inspire new insights, intuitions, and impossible dreams that are sure to catch our fancy. However, be prepared for possible delays in communication and travel Saturday afternoon due to the Scorpio Moon square with Mercury in Aquarius. Be especially careful not to get lost if travelling, and make sure you send that email or text to correct person!
Astrology Forecast January 16 – 22, 2023
This week there is a cosmic ‘musical chairs’ occuring with various planets shifting as the heavens align for the beginning of the Chinese New Year this weekend.
Today, the Scorpio Moon will carry an intense vibration, enabling us to get a lot of things taken care of that have been on the back burner since last year.
A lighter energy prevails tomorrow and Wednesday, as the Moon dances through Sagittarius, but we’ll have to watch out for overly sensitive people and potential emotional outbursts. This may partly be due also to Mercury turning direct in Capricorn on Wednesday. This return can cause miscommunication and technical glitches that are sure to try some folks’ last nerve!
The Sun will move into Aquarius on Friday and meet up with Pluto, giving us a sense of destiny and karma to guide our way forward.
On Saturday the Aquarius New Moon will announce the dawn of the Chinese New Year. To add to the drama, Uranus will also turn direct this weekend, after four months of backward motion. This aspect will cement the fact that new beginnings are upon us! With the rare trio of the Sun moving into Aquarius, as well as the New Moon in Aquarius, and Aquarius as the ruling planet of Uranus going direct (as well as Mercury), plus the Chinese New Year all happening within a matter of days, the writing is certainly on the wall: major change for the better is on the horizon.
Astrology Forecast January 2 – 8, 2023
The first week of 2023 starts off with a vibrant Venus heading into Aquarius today to inspire us with enthusiasm, renewed passion, and innovative ideas. The sky is not even the limit, as Venus opens our hearts and minds to endless possibilities for the year ahead.
The Mercury in Capricorn sextile with Neptune in Pisces in the early morning hours today will set the scene for a perfect astrological boost to the first Monday of this year. This aspect offers the ideal energy alchemy to inspire mental acuity and creative ideas to clarifying our plans and goals for the year that lies ahead. Artists, authors and creatives in particular can expect to feel exceptionally imaginative and inspired this morning under the muse of this planetary angle.
With the Moon cruising through Gemini the first three days of this week, brainstorming, research, and shared ideas will be a theme to amplify the new year energies. We can also charm our way in and out of situations under this aspect, making our communication and intentions more powerful and effective.
Both intellectual and spiritual insights abound when the Moon moves into Cancer on Thursday. What has been hidden may now come to light during this phase of the Moon, especially when the Moon waxes full in Cancer on Friday.
Take it easy this weekend, by relaxing and regrouping under Saturday’s Cancer Moon and focusing on love and self-care when it moves into Leo on Sunday.
All in all this week’s cosmic energies will be a great start to the new year, filled with potential and hope for the year ahead.
Astrology Forecast December 26, 2022 – January 1, 2023
Mercury turning retrograde on Thursday, this week should unfold easily and smoothly.
Today’s Aquarius Moon could cause some electronic or communication glitches as it joins forces with a receding Mercury, but keep in mind this is designed to get our attention and alert us to where change might be needed. For example, if you received a new iPhone for Christmas and it’s not working as it should, it might be a good idea to return it to the store for an exchange.
In fact, if you do have any gifts you are looking to exchange, this is the week to take care of that, as Mercury prepares to go backward. This should ideally be done this Thursday or Friday under the Aries Moon.
Also, beware the Aquarius Moon conjunction with Saturn in Aquarius this afternoon, as it has a penchant for invoking feelings of unease, melancholy and even depression. Do not give in to self-pity or negative thinking the day after Christmas. Instead, make that phone call to a lonely relative or friend, or visit that struggling neigbor with a small gift or sweet treat to brighten their day! Many folks will feel lonely and abandoned under this lunar aspect today.
New Year’s Eve on Saturday and the first day of 2023 on Sunday unfold under a Taurus Moon, offering us a grounded and loving position from which to kick start a prosperous and peaceful New Year. Setting sensible new year’s resolutions should be a snap under this very determined aspect, as we prepare to greet 2023 with better health, more financial security, and tangible progress towards our goals and dreams for the coming year.
Astrology Forecast December 5 – 11, 2022
Today’s Taurus Moon will prove most productive, as we plow through our obligations and free up the rest of the week for personal pursuits.
Take care however to maintain your mental equilibrium this afternoon under the Taurus Moon conjunction with Uranus in Taurus, as this transit is known for disrupting our reason and inner balance and cause us to act out of character. You may also get a surprise visit from a long-lost friend or estranged relative this afternoon, so keep your cool if someone shows up unannounced.
Your mood may be a bit down or sad this evening due to the Taurus Moon square with Saturn in Aquarius. Do not ‘self-medicate’ with rich, heavy foods or alcohol, as you will pay for it with indigestion that will only make matters worse! Do some light exercise instead by dancing in your living room or playing with your pets.
Mercury will move into enterprising Capricorn tomorrow, setting us on a course to gather more information and review current methods to see where change might be needed.
The Moon will wax full in Gemini on Wednesday, marking the start of a two-week period of reflection and reconnecting with those dearest to us over the holiday season.
Venus will move into Capricorn on Friday, adding a creative flair to all we do and reminding us to practice more authenticity and become more grounded in all we do.
The Cancer Moon on Friday and Saturday will turn our thoughts to home and family, as well as creating a sense of security and stability.
A Leo Moon on Sunday will cast a generous and heart-centered air around us, compelling us to take better care of ourselves and others.
