virgo moon
Astrology Forecast July 17 – 23, 2023
The week begins with a gentle Cancer New Moon today, which will instill us with the desire to nurture ourselves and others. Under a Cancer New Moon our emotions take center stage and our sense of compassion, kindness and tolerance becomes elevated. This evening’s Cancer Moon trine with Neptune in Pisces will add to our heightened empathy and understanding.
Make the most of these energies by reaching out to someone you care about, or step up to make the peace with someone you have been at odds with.
Tonight will also be a great time to catch up on your spiritual practice with some meditation, prayer for others, oracle card or rune reading, or journaling.
Our love-and-belonging mindset will escalate even further tomorrow and Wednesday, as the Moon glides through big-hearted Leo and inspires us to lean in and reconnect with those closest to us.
We’ll also have to do some productive work this week, of course, and the Virgo Moon will make Thursday and Friday’s the ideal days to take care of responsibilities and tasks we cannot postpone until next week.
The Sun enters Leo on Saturday, heralding a four-week cycle of self-love, generosity, and strength of heart. A few hours later, Venus will turn retrograde, kicking off a six-week cycle of romance and relationship energies that we’ll need to pay close attention to. This aspect can bring lovers back from the past (not necessarily for a reconnection) or create the opportunity to magically connect with your soulmate.
If you’re in a relationship that has run its course, this will become more apparent in the weeks ahead, and if you have been neglecting a valued relationship in your life, this will become equally apparent. Expect changes in your relationships over the next month and a half. Being more mindful with your partner, loved ones and friends will work in your favor during this time.
Astrology Forecast June 19 – 25, 2023
Energies will slow down this week as we move into the watery vibes of a Cancer Moon today and tomorrow, followed by the Sun’s entry into Cancer on Wednesday.
For the next four weeks, our focus will turn to home life, family, and comfort-seeking activities. Gardening, cooking, and restoring order to our homes and relationships are the hallmarks of Cancer energy.
Emotions and spiritual activities will also serve as a focus, reminding us to rebalance those aspects of our inner life that may have become scattered or disconnected.
Self-focus will be prevalent Wednesday and Thursday under the Leo Moon, as we pause to look at where we may have been giving too much, while not taking proper care of ourselves. Wednesday a Mercury in Gemini sextile with Mars in Leo will further boost our energy levels, communication skills and self-confidence. This is a good time to turn the focus back on our own needs for a few days and set some much-needed boundaries.
Thursday’s Leo Moon square with Uranus in Taurus may cause some trouble. We may feel irritable, moody and rebellious, act unnecessarily stubborn, and make rash decisions. Abrupt changes or challenges may arise unexpectedly, so focus on staying centered and grounded.
Once the Moon enters Virgo on Friday, we’ll have two days to concentrate on restoring physical order to our surroundings, clearing out clutter, making lists, and creating a blueprint for future plans and projects.
Sunday we can welcome the Moon’s entry into Libra on Sunday, where we can assimilate all the activities and insights of the past week to find our balance.
Astrology Forecast May 22 – 28, 2023
Alright, alright, alright!” isn’t just a famous line from the teen movie Dazed and Confused (1993), it is also an appropriate theme for this week’s cool cosmic vibes and easy-going energies.
With the most impactful planetary shifts for the month completed, we can proceed this week with calm, confidence and grace – even if we may not be entirely sure where we’re headed yet. Treating each day as a new adventure and being open to whatever happens is definitely the way to cruise through the coming week.
A Cancer Moon casts a calm, if somewhat ethereal atmosphere today and tomorrow. We may not get much done, but it will not be a waste of time as our focus will be on the goodness of interpersonal relationships, creature comforts, and taking things easy.
The Cancer Moon trine with Saturn in Pisces around midday, followed by a sextile with Mercury in Taurus this afternoon, offers a perfect opportunity for presenting a sales pitch, doing marketing, or having a business meeting. Making a good social impression, effective communication, closing deals and sound financial descisions will all be easier than usual.
The Moon travels through Leo on Wednesday through Friday, encouraging us to focus on ourselves and our self-care needs. Of course, we should remain available if someone needs our help, but for the most part, being selfish is not a liability under the Leo Moon.
After a week of ‘just being,’ the Virgo Moon will bring us back to reality on Saturday and Sunday.
Astrology Forecast May 1 – 7, 2023
With Pluto turning retrograde today and a Scorpio Lunar Eclipse waxing full on Friday, this could prove a challenging week. Patience, flexibility, and counting to ten will be essential to getting through the week unscathed.
We may however not notice the Pluto shift today, since it is an outer planet, but the Virgo Moon could bring out our intense side. The more we resist this change, the harder things may become, so try to move through the day with an open mind and heart.
The Libra Moon on Tuesday and Wednesday will create a more gentle flow of energy mid-week, allowing us to stand back and observe rather than act. Viewing things from a more balanced perspective will keep you grounded and on track.
The Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse on Friday could create much conflict, so the main thing will be to choose our battles wisely. When in doubt, stay out of the drama it may stimulate. Keep in mind that Scorpio is a sign that can cast much fear and doubt, which may or may not be real. So, pay close attention to whatever information you receive and then bide your time for at least a few days before you act on any of it. On an up note, this can also create a time of release, when we can let go of misguided notions or efforts we’ve been making that keep us going around in circles.
The week ends on a sweeter note, when Venus moves into the heartwarming sign of Cancer and turns our attention to home and family for the next four weeks.
Astrology Forecast April 24 – 30, 2023
After last week’s cosmic excitement, we’ll find some solace as the Moon drifts through Cancer today through Wednesday, giving us time to regroup, reorganize and tend to personal chores and obligations.
The pace picks up again on Thursday when the Moon moves into Leo and restores our energy and drive. For the next few days, we can reset our goals and review our directions before we move forward, as with the Sun now in Taurus, it’s time to take our ideas and put them into action!
We’ll also want to stop and look around to see how we can help others, as well as reconnecting with friends and family to make sure they are doing okay. Thursday evening’s Leo Half Moon might however invoke disagreement and conflict, especially with family, so think twice before you react and do not take the bait.
Friday may prove to be challenging in terms of communication and interacting with others. A Leo Moon square with Mercury in Taurus in the morning, as well as a Leo Moon square with Uranus in Taurus in the afternoon, could have us struggling to stay focused and clearly convey our thoughts and feelings. Don’t speak or act hastily, and double check emails and text messages before sending, as it may contain incorrect details or go out to the wrong recipients! Also, avoid getting into unnecessary arguments, as willfulness, irritablity and mood swings are more likely under these aspects.
Sunday is the perfect day to finish up our spring cleaning, as the Virgo Moon combines with the Taurus Sun and inspires a clearing out of clutter, garage sales, or gathering items to go in the donation bin. Even if you’d rather be taking it easy and relaxing, promise yourself you’ll clean out or at least organize one area of your house; you’ll be glad you did.
Astrology Forecast April 3 – 9, 2023
The way to get through this week without getting ‘wounded in combat’ is to choose your battles very wisely. In fact, it may be best to sit on the sidelines and let everyone else duke it out over the next few days! Taking things in our stride, biding our time, and holding fast to the ultimate goal, will help us to maneuver the ups and downs of the week.
We can set a cautious tone for the week by keeping our ego in check today under an idealistic Virgo Moon, as well as the inflexible attitude of Mercury in Taurus. These aspects may have us thinking our ideas and opinions are the best and cause us to dig our heels in, and perhaps we are correct, but striving for teamwork, being more flexible, and considering the needs and sensitivities of others will serve us best this week.
Grace, harmony and self-awareness will be a little easier to maintain once the Moon moves into Libra tomorrow, where it remain until it waxes full on Thursday. But watch your step Wednesday morning under the Libra Moon square with Mars in Cancer, as this aspect is known for causing people to be more easily triggered, impulsive, and even argumentative.
The Libra Full Moon on Thursday may continue to have us feeling moody, irritable and restless. It will however also entice us to let go of our preconceived ideas entirely once it peaks and a new and better dream emerges under Friday and Saturday’s Scorpio Moon.
Things may however be heating up again by Sunday. Watch out for more assertive energy, as the Sagittarius Moon will combine forces with the Aries Sun to bring out the aggressive, stubborn qualities in people.
Astrology Forecast March 27 – April 2, 2023
We feel quite invincible as the week begins, sharing our thoughts and hopes with anyone who’ll listen under today’s Gemini Moon. With all the planetary activity we experienced last week, this week is a good time of reprieve to turn inward and ask for spiritual direction before we make our next move.
This morning’s Gemini Moon sextile with Jupiter in Aries is a golden opportunity for business prospects, making lucrative deals and boosting our finances. This winning business streak will be carried forward tomorrow by a Cancer Moon trine with Saturn in Pisces, which will be an ideal time for that sales pitch or strategic business meeting. So, seize the moment and make lots of money!
On Wednesday, the Cancer Moon sextile with Venus in Taurus will inspire love and romance. Treat that special person in your life to a romantic lunch in the park, or spontaneously go on that blind date your friends have been nagging you about. Be careful however not to let your social life distract too much from your work and other responsibilities.
With the Moon traveling through Leo Thursday through Saturday, we’ll be drawn to focus on ourselves. Increased self-care, commitment to healthier living, and restoring our energy balance of give and take are all essential strategies now, before we don our spiritual armor and set out to slay all those dragons standing in the way of our dreams.
The Virgo Moon holds reign on Sunday, inspiring us to clear a physical path to our goals, so addressing clutter, clearing out our cyber inboxes, and organizing our homes and schedules will be a theme.
