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 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.
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.
Astrology Forecast April 8 -14, 2024
The week begins with a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries today, marking the beginning of a six-month cycle of renewed focus.
The second of two eclipses this year (the first occurred on March 25th with the full moon), it promises potential breakthroughs and advanced movement.
This eclipse also occurs closely conjunct Chiron and the Moon’s North Node, creating a profound opportunity for healing, introspection, and focusing on emotional wounds in order to move forward toward our soul purpose without repeating the past.
Chiron’s influence offers us a unique opportunity to confront and work through personal and collective pain, potentially leading to profound healing and a renewed sense of purpose.
Chiron, also known as the Wounded Healer, embodies the archetype of healing through overcoming personal traumas and challenges. This aspect encourages us to embark on a healing journey and take bold steps toward manifesting our true self and purpose.
The energy of today’s eclipse is also an opportunity for reevaluation of both personal and professional goals, especially as they relate to the Aries-ruled areas of your chart. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries carries the energy of new beginnings, leadership, and pioneering action. We’ll feel renewed sense of innovation and determination.
Astrology Forecast March 18 – 24, 2024
Happy Astrological New Year! Late tomorrow night, the Sun will enter Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, marking the annual beginning of the astrological year and a brand new season.
This event is known as the Vernal or Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumnal Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.
It typically occurs on March 20 or 21 each year, although the exact date and time can vary slightly due to the leap year cycle. It marks the point in time when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving northward.
The Vernal Equinox represents a time of balance between day and night, after which the days begin to become longer than the nights, signaling the beginning of spring and a time of renewal and new beginnings.
Aries symbolizes initiation, action, and a pioneering spirit, making the Sun’s entry into Aries a fitting start to the astrological cycle. This is an optimal time to set intentions, start new projects, and embark on new ventures.
The Astrological New Year encourages us to reflect on the past, set goals for the future, and embrace the energy of renewal and growth. It’s a time to take bold steps forward, assert our individuality, and pursue our passions with courage and enthusiasm.
Astrology Forecast March 11 – 17, 2024
Venus moves into soulful Pisces today, amplifying love, beauty and harmony in our lives. Over the next three weeks, it will focus our attention on emotions, creativity, and relationships.
When Venus transits Pisces, a sign in which it is exalted, it increases our capacity for empathy, love, and understanding. During this time you may find yourself more emotionally attuned to the feelings of those around you, leading to stronger and more meaningful relationships.
There may also be a stronger than usual desire for peace and harmony in relationships. Conflicts will be resolved more easily through compassion and understanding, as we are generally more inclined to see the best in each other.
Pisces is a sign associated with creativity and imagination. Venus’ presence here can inspire a burst of artistic expression and creativity. Whether you’re an artist, musician, performer, or writer, the rest of this month could be a particularly fruitful time.
Venus in Pisces also enhances intuition, making this a good time to listen to your inner voice and trust your gut, especially in matters of the heart and personal relationships.
