Astrology Forecast November 25 – December 1, 2024
As the Moon moves into harmonious Libra this morning, you may feel a pull to restore balance in your life. Libra’s influence heightens your awareness of beauty, fairness, and relationships, encouraging a gentle, diplomatic approach to your interactions.
Forming a powerful trine with transformative Pluto in Aquarius, it will deepen our emotional insights and strengthen our intuitive powers. Libra’s need for balance harmonizes with Pluto’s intensity, making it an ideal time to face challenges with calm determination.
This combined influence also encourages us to explore the underlying dynamics of our relationships and personal desires with a sense of clarity and depth. Conversations may reveal hidden truths today, and you may feel a pull to explore what really matters, both within yourself and in your relationships with others.
This afternoon, the Sun in adventurous Sagittarius sextiles the Libra Moon, bringing a sense of ease and alignment between our inner feelings and outer actions, helping us find balance between our personal goals and our relationships.
Later in the day, the Moon’s sextile with Mars in fiery Leo will fill us with confidence and motivation. This aspect supports bold decisions and assertive action, so it’s a great opportunity to end the day on a passionate high note before Mercury turns retrograde this evening.
Today is an ideal time to mend fences, collaborate, or focus on creating a peaceful environment. However, the need to keep the peace may tempt you to avoid confrontation, so be careful to remain authentic and address issues directly when necessary. Seek balance not only in your relationships, but also in your inner world, making room for self-care amidst the demands of the day.
Astrology Forecast October 28 – November 3, 2024
This week begins with a combination of cosmic influences early today that urge us to find balance through emotional insight that leads to constructive discussion, while reminding us to navigate relationship dynamics with care.
First, the harmonious trine between Mars in Cancer and Neptune in Pisces invites a wave of emotional inspiration, encouraging us to channel our intuition into creative pursuits and nurturing actions as we begin the day.
Soon after, the Moon in Virgo sextiles Mercury in Scorpio, enhancing our analytical thinking and communication skills, making it an ideal time for productive conversations and thoughtful decision-making.
However, a subsequent square between Venus in Sagittarius and Saturn in Pisces introduces a note of tension into our relationships, potentially highlighting conflicts between our desires for freedom and the responsibilities we face.
Later today, the Moon’s trine to Uranus in Taurus brings a refreshing burst of innovation and spontaneity, inspiring us to embrace new ideas and unconventional approaches to our daily routines. This influence encourages us to break free from mundane patterns and explore fresh perspectives, making it a perfect time for creative problem-solving.
However, the Moon’s opposition to Neptune in Pisces can bring moments of confusion or idealism as the day winds down, challenging us to question our perceptions and ensuring that we stay grounded amidst the allure of dreams. Fortunately, the Moon’s sextile to Mars in Cancer provides an energetic boost, enabling us to take decisive action and channel our emotional drive into productive endeavors. Overall, this mix of influences encourages us to remain open to change while focusing on practical results.
Astrology Forecast September 30 – October 6, 2024
The week begins today with a mix of intense and motivating energies as the Moon in Virgo opposes Saturn in Pisces. This aspect can make us feel a bit constrained or burdened by responsibility, creating an urge to retreat into overthinking or self-criticism.
Fortunately, the Moon’s sextile to Mars in Cancer will provide a balancing boost of emotional drive and determination. You’ll find the energy to tackle your tasks, especially those related to home, health and nurturing. It’s an excellent time to focus on practical matters and get things done, even if you feel some inner resistance or self-doubt.
The Moon’s sesquiquadrate with Pluto however may add an undercurrent of intensity that brings deep-seated emotions to the surface. You may feel a bit edgy or sensitive, but this energy can be channeled into transformative work. Use this energy influence to identify and release any emotional patterns that may be holding you back.
As the Moon enters Libra on Tuesday, the energy shifts from Virgo’s meticulous, detail-oriented focus to Libra’s desire for balance, harmony, and connection. After a somewhat intense and self-critical start to the week, this shift brings a refreshing breath of calm. You may feel a stronger pull toward social interactions, partnership and finding balance in your life. This influence is ideal for seeking compromise, engaging in creative pursuits, or simply enjoying a more peaceful atmosphere.
Wednesday’s annual solar eclipse during a Libra New Moon brings an opportunity to reset our relationships and seek harmony in areas of life that may feel out of sync. Libra’s energy emphasizes diplomacy, fairness, and the pursuit of inner peace. You may feel a strong urge to confront imbalances, whether in personal relationships, work, or your own sense of self.
Astrology Forecast September 2 – 8, 2024
Today’s Virgo New Moon brings a powerful blend of new beginnings and practical energy.
Virgo, an earth sign, is known for its attention to detail, organization, and focus on health and routine. When the new moon occurs in Virgo, it’s an ideal time to set intentions related to self-improvement, work habits, and wellness routines.
Today and tomorrow’s lunar energy is therfore perfect for cleaning up your life, both physically and mentally, and making plans to achieve your goals with precision and discipline.
You may feel an increased urge to get organized, refine your daily routines, and focus on improving areas of your life that need more structure and efficiency. Be careful not to be overly critical of yourself or others, however, as Virgo’s energy can sometimes tend toward perfectionism.
When Mars enters Cancer on Wednesday, its fiery, assertive energy meets Cancer’s nurturing and emotional realm, creating a complex dynamic.
Mars, the planet of action and drive, becomes more sensitive and protective in Cancer, often leading to an increased focus on home, family, and personal safety. This transit can make us more motivated to defend our loved ones and emotional boundaries, but it can also cause mood swings or passive-aggressive behavior, as Cancer’s influence can temper Mars’ direct approach.
Astrology Forecast July 29 – August 4, 2024
The week begins this morning with the Moon in a moody semisextile aspect to Chiron and a semisquare to the Node, causing us to feel more emotionally sensitive and introspective, with a hint of tension about our path forward.
Pay attention to subtle inner cues, as these can offer profound insights into personal growth and understanding. You may feel a slight tug between past patterns and future aspirations this morning, requiring a balanced approach to resolution. Trust your intuition and consider how your actions align with your long-term goals.
Fortunately, the Sun’s quintile to the Moon later this morning offers a spark of creative inspiration and emotional clarity. This aspect enhances your ability to express yourself authentically and creatively, paving the way for positive interactions and innovative solutions.
This week we can expect to feel the pre-shadow effects of Mercury going retrograde on Sunday. As it is, Mercury is already slowing down to retrace its steps through the degrees it will later revisit during retrograde.
We may begin to notice miscommunication, delays, and technological glitches even before the official retrograde period begins next week. The pre-shadow phase sets the stage for retrograde, and being aware of it can help you prepare and manage its potential effects more effectively. If you have not already done so, now is the time to back up all your data and update your computer and smartphone.
Astrology Forecast July 1 – 7, 2024
This week’s astrological highlights include Neptune going retrograde, Mercury moving into Leo, and a Cancer New Moon on Friday.
With all these changes happening this week, we may want to be mindful and pay attention as our moods and energies shift almost daily.
Luckily, the week starts off with a sensible Taurus Moon today, allowing us to maximize our productivity before things become both intensly introspective and contemplative, yet also expressive and dramatic, starting tomorrow.
This aspect provides a grounding and stabilizing influence today, fostering a calm, balanced mindset that encourages practical action and a more pragmatic focus. Use this lunar influence to establish a routine for the rest of the week, organize your schedule, and take care of outstanding financial matters.
Tomorrow is the most cosmically significant day of the week, as both Neptune goes retrograde and Mercury enters Leo.
Neptune’s retrograde will encourage introspection and a reevaluation of our dreams, delusions, assumptions and beliefs. Over the next five and a half months, until December 7th, the veil between reality and fantasy will thin, leading us to confront truths we may have avoided until now. It will be a time of inner exploration, uncovering hidden motivations and dispelling unrealistic expectations.
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.
