Astrology Forecast May 20 – 26, 2024
This week’s astrovibes will be dominated by Gemini energies and a lot of social activity. It begins with the Sun entering Gemini and the Moon entering Scorpio this morning, creating an interesting energy dynamic.
Gemini is light-hearted and adaptable, while Scorpio is intense and focused. Finding a balance between these energies will be key during this transit. You may need to navigate between exploring new ideas and diving deep into emotional matters without becoming overwhelmed.
With the Moon in Scorpio, emotions may also be more pronounced and sensitive. Be aware of how you express yourself and how others around you may be feeling. It’s a good time for honest and authentic communication, but also for respecting boundaries and emotional privacy.
The Moon will be full in Sagittarius early Thursday, bringing a burst of enthusiasm, a desire to explore, and a sense of optimism about the future. This can be a great time to set goals, take risks, and embrace new experiences. We may feel inspired to seek truth, meaning, and deeper understanding, and may be drawn to philosophical or spiritual pursuits in order to expand our knowledge and broaden our perspective.
On Thursday afternoon, Venus enters Gemini, bringing a shift in our approach to relationships and social activities. We may feel more inclined to socialize, engage in lively conversation, and connect with people who share our interests. In particular, this transit favors relationships that are mentally stimulating and allow for freedom and flexibility.
Astrology Forecast 13 – 19 May 2024
The Moon entering Leo this morning starts the week with vitality, creativity and a desire to shine. We will feel imbued with confidence and assertiveness.
Embrace this energy today by expressing yourself authentically, leading with positivity and enjoying the spotlight in a balanced and constructive way.
Be aware, however, of the added emotional intensity that a Leo Moon opposition to Pluto in Aquarius can bring, as we are likely to experience emotions more strongly, with a tendency towards power struggles or confrontation, especially in personal or group dynamics.
Pluto represents issues of power and control. With this aspect, there may be a struggle between the assertion of personal power (Leo) and the desire for collective change or transformation (Aquarius).
Be aware of power dynamics. Approach situations at work or in your business today with awareness and mindfulness, acknowledging the potential for intense emotions and power dynamics, but also seeking constructive growth and change.
Mercury’s entry into Taurus on Wednesday will inspire us to be more logical, methodical and grounded in our thinking and actions. We will tend to focus more on tangible, realistic ideas and solutions.
Communication also becomes more deliberate and steady during Mercury in Taurus, so we may want to speak and express ourselves more slowly and deliberately, using clear and concise language. Paying more attention to details in our conversations, tasks and plans will increase productivity and accuracy in our daily activities.
Astrology Forecast May 6 – 12, 2024
The week begins with a Taurus Moon transit this afternoon, culminating in a Taurus New Moon tomorrow.
During a Taurus New Moon we feel a stronger connection to the physical world, a desire for stability and security in our lives, and increased attention to money, resources and material goods.
The next few days are therefore a good time to assess our financial situation and consider our values in relation to wealth and possessions.
It is also a powerful time for setting intentions and planting seeds for new beginnings. Given Taurus’s focus on stability and perseverance, intentions set during this time may relate to building lasting foundations or cultivating patience and perseverance in the pursuit of our goals.
We will also find it easier to maintain emotional stability and resilience in the face of challenges ans will be drawn to experiences that stimulate our senses – such as enjoying good food, indulging in luxury or spending time in nature.
Overall, the Taurus New Moon encourages us to slow down, connect with our physical bodies and the world around us, and focus on building a secure and fulfilling life based on our true values.
On Thursday and Friday you may feel more inclined to socialise, connect with others and express yourself verbally, thanks to the Gemini Moon. It will be a good time for networking, attending social events or just catching up with friends and loved ones.
Astrology Forecast April 29 – May 5, 2024
Our sensuality blossoms and relationship stablity becomes a priority today as Venus moves into Taurus, where it will remain for the next month (25 days).
Venus in Taurus is considered one of its most comfortable and powerful positions astrologically, because Venus, the planet of love, beauty and harmony, finds a luxurious home in the sign of Taurus, which is ruled by Venus herself.
Until May 23, this transit will evoke a strong connection to physical comforts such as good food, beautiful surroundings, luxurious fabrics, and pleasant scents. We will enjoy the finer things in life and have a heightened sense of beauty and harmony in our surroundings.
Venus in Taurus also inspires a strong appreciation of the natural world, so we will enjoy spending more time outdoors, gardening or engaging in activities that bring us closer to the earth.
More importantly, Taurus is a stable and grounded sign, and when Venus is placed here, it brings stability and reliability to romantic relationships, which bodes well for long-term commitments in the coming weeks. Many of us will be willing to invest more time and effort into building a solid foundation for our relationships.
Moonstone Connects You With Your Dreams
Do you often wake up in the morning with the feeling that something significant happened in your dreams, but have no recollection of what you actually dreamed? Or maybe you’re one of those people who believe you don’t dream at all?
If this is true for you, you may want to consider the mystical properties of a humble yet powerful ally: the moonstone.
Yes, try putting a moonstone under your pillow before you go to sleep! Many of my clients have thanked me for this suggestion. These magical stones enhance your dreams and help you remember them.
Why would you want to dream more vividly and remember more of your dreams? Because paying attention to our dreams is one of the most healing and empowering spiritual practices available to us. In my opinion, anyone who is serious about their spirituality should keep a dream journal.
When we are in the dream state, a lot of spiritual inspiration, energy healing, divine guidance and soul growth takes place. Each night when we enter the dream state to immerse our soul in the astral realm, it is like a “little death” or temporary departure from the material world. It is a mini prequel to what our soul will experience one day when we we depart from this physical life and return to our spirit form.
Astrology Forecast April 22 – 28, 2024
Buckle up for some turbulence today! The Libra Moon’s opposition to Mercury in Aries this morning will create some tension between our emotions and our communication styles.
The Moon in Libra tends to promote harmony, diplomacy, and a desire for fairness in our emotional responses. On the other hand, Mercury in Aries is more assertive, direct, and focused on individual needs and desires. This opposition can create a conflict between our need for emotional balance and our desire to express ourselves assertively.
We may struggle today to find the right words to express ourselves, or to strike a balance between being assertive and considerate in our interactions with others. This will be made worse by Mercury Retrograde in its final lap.
This evening, a Libra Moon opposition to Venus in Aries will prolong the tension between head and heart, leaving us feeling insecure and unbalanced. Libra seeks harmony, balance and compromise, while Aries prioritizes individual needs over compromise. This opposition can create tension between the need for emotional balance and the desire for assertiveness and independence. It may not be easy to reconcile your emotions with your rational desires and needs.
There is a Full Moon in Scorpio tomorrow, which will have the greatest impact on the water and earth signs. Full moons are a time of release, and with Mercury retrograde about to end, we will see a lot of endings this week as we prepare to enter a new cycle of being. The Scorpio Moon will continue to rule the skies until Thursday, calling us to go inside and examine what no longer serves us and what we want to keep in our lives.
Mercury turns direct on Thursday, but remember to give the lingering after-effects of retrograde a wide berth until at least May 1st, when the shadow period ends and the remaining energies return to balance.
A more lighthearted energy fills the air under the Sagittarius Moon on Friday and Saturday, where we can focus on the joys in our lives. We’ll experience a new sense of freedom and a genuine sense of gratitude that will be evident to everyone around us.
Sunday’s Capricorn Moon may call for a time of reckoning, whether it’s taking stock of our finances or our physical health, both of which could use a rebalancing!
Astrology Forecast April 15 – 21, 2024
The week begins with a Cancer Half Moon today, meaning the Moon is at a 90-degree angle to the Sun. This lunar energy brings focus to issues of emotional and security needs, as Cancer is associated with home, family, and emotional nourishment.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, so emotions tend to run high during this phase. We may be more sensitive, intuitive and introspective. We will also be more focused on domestic matters, and there may be a greater need for emotional support and connection with others.
Given Cancer’s focus on personal life, this lunar phase may make balancing work and home life more challenging. Emotional distractions and an increased need for security could affect productivity or interactions with colleagues. Rather than focusing on work, we may instead be preoccupied with issues of comfort, care, and connection with others, especially family members.
The emotional intensity of this phase can also lead to conflict, both in personal relationships and in public. It’s important to be aware of your words and actions. The protective and sometimes possessive nature of Cancer energy can also cause tension if not handled with awareness and compassion. Given the potential for heightened emotions and sensitivity, taking a moment to reflect before responding to challenges can prevent misunderstandings and conflict.
