Astrology, Tarot and More

This Full Moon is also a powerful Lunar Eclipse!  It's a powerful time to free yourself from suffocating, isolating, codependent relationships that clip your wings.

This New Moon is also a powerful Solar Eclipse! 

Astrologically speaking, the New Moon is the time to set intentions for what you want to attract into your life. And eclipses are very powerful portals. Intentions set on an eclipse can manifest fast, but they can materialize in an unexpected way. If something feels stuck in your life, setting an intention on an eclipse may be just what you need.

If you're not afraid of some twists and turns, today is THE day of the year to let the Universe know that you're ready for happy, harmonious relationships - including romantic relationships.

 

Libra Season is about investing into relationships, getting rid of crippling indecision, and reviewing what “fair” means to you. Libra or not, how can you best apply this season's energies in your professional field or business? Read some suggestions here.

The Sun is in Libra as of Sept. 22 2023, 11:50 p.m. PDT. It’s our annual reminder to focus on relationships, the sense of fairness, learning to become more assertive or decisive if we need to, and bringing more beauty into your life – whatever “beauty” means to you!

 

Eclipses are wild cards in astrology.  They tend to electrify the areas they touch, to shake them up and revitalize them.

That plays out on the collective level as well as on a personal level, if an eclipse connects with your natal chart.

So what can we expect from this year's eclipses? 

To be honest with you, I get a little apprehensive when Pluto is about to visit my natal chart. 

Yes, I know I will come out stronger than ever after its energy departs. But, I also know that a challenging Pluto transit will bring some major transformation, closing a door so completely that it’s cemented shut. Whatever was behind that door is either gone, or transformed beyond recognition.  It will also connect you with the deepest reserves of your personal power, that you didn't even know you had.

While Mercury stays retrograde until Oct. 18, October is also the month that Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto turn direct. The more planets are direct, the more “go forward” energy is available to us, and the easier it is to get your undertakings off the ground successfully.  Relationships are strongly highlighted through the first 3 weeks of October. Don't miss a very special New Moon on Oct. 6 - fantastic for calling a soulmate relationship into your life.

Mercury Retrograde can bring annoying technology glitches, delayed or cancelled travel plans and appointments, and  frustrating miscommunication.  And….it also has a huge silver lining. It’s the best time of the year for all things “re”: re-do, re-plan, re-write (or edit), re-connect, repair, reflect.  

This Mercury Retrograde is in Libra, making it an ideal time to reconnect with your partner (pre-schedule some fun date nights if you can!); to re-balance your own needs and the needs of those around you; and to reflect on your view of fairness.

September offers us quite a few gifts. A Grand Trine in Earth, active until Sept. 16, brings the energy of vitality, practical sense and productivity. The Air energy is also strong: collaborate and build your networks, especially online. But, with Mercury turning retrograde on Sept. 26, we're heading into the thick of this year's retrograde season...

Jupiter (opportunities, expansion) continues through this year’s retrograde cycle, moving back into Aquarius on July 28. When a planet retrogrades into the sign, it's like it says, "I have some unfinished business!" Jupiter's return to Aquarius will be asking us to revisit technological expansion, and human interconnectedness.

On a personal level, it can be impactful for Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, Gemini and Libra.
