April Showers Bring May, And June Flowers!
The old saying, “April showers bring May flowers,” reminds us that difficult periods can lead to growth and beauty.
For many, April this year truly felt like an emotional downpour, both internally and externally. It was a time of letting go and confronting old wounds or patterns that no longer served a purpose.
While the skies may not have cleared overnight, we are now entering a new chapter. As we move through late May and look ahead to June, a powerful shift is underway—one that brings hope, clarity, and blooming potential.
April is dominated by Aries season and the intensity of its fiery energy. Ruled by Mars, Aries tends to stir things up, fueling restlessness, frustration, and even conflict. This year, many of us felt an even stronger inner drive than usual to move forward, yet we also encountered lingering emotional blocks or unusual external resistance. For many, it was a month of both internal and external battles where old stories resurfaced to be healed or released.
Taurus season followed, overlapping the end of April and the first few weeks of May. Its slower, earthbound rhythm helped us begin to stabilize — but not without first confronting the emotional residue left behind.
Taurus energy urged us to get grounded, reconnect with our values, and take things one step at a time. This helped to soothe some of the turbulence, but it also highlighted areas of life in which we have been too rigid, stuck, or overly attached to our comfort zones.
Astrology Forecast October 14 – 20, 2024
Be prepared to navigate a volatile week with a series of planetary aspects that could prove to be an emotional roller coaster.
The ride begins early today with the Sun in Libra square Mars in Cancer causing conflict, especially in relationships or family dynamics, as the nurturing energy of Cancer clashes with Libra’s need for balance and fairness.
We may find ourselves caught between taking action and keeping the peace this morning. The key is to lean on the diplomatic energy of the Libra Sun and the emotional sensitivity of the Pisces Moon. Seek compromise without ignoring your personal needs or letting frustrations fester.
The Moon’s transit through Pisces today can also challenge us to honor both creative freewheeling and self-discipline at the same time. Emotion, intuition and imagination are at the center of today’s Moon in dreamy Pisces, inspiring us to tap into our creative side and let our imaginations flow freely.
However, the conjunction of the Moon and Saturn in Pisces reminds us that no matter how freely we dream and imagine, there is always a need for structure in order to turn our ideas and inspirations into action and practical results. Saturn’s grounding energy highlights emotional boundaries and responsibilities, urging us to balance our creative aspirations with practical limitations.
The influence of Venus in Scorpio opposing Uranus in Taurus adds an unpredictable layer to the latter part of this manic Monday, especially when it comes to love, finances, or personal values. Relationships may experience sudden shifts or revelations, and emotions may feel intense, so stay calm and grounded, with an open heart and a steady mind.
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!
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 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.
