Astrological update for the week of September 5-12, 2022

Mercury retrograde and retrograde update! Mercury turns retrograde this week (September 9th) which will take us to Peak Retrograde for the year (six planets plus Chiron in retrograde motion!). If you read my September Planetary Illuminations report you may have noticed that I undercounted the retrogrades so the idea of this being a time of reflection rather than action is even more true.

When there is a preponderance of retrograde energy it can feel like we’re spinning […]

8.10.21 Find your drishti today with Venus opposite Neptune

by Lynn Hayes. In yoga we talk about a “drishti” – a point of balance on which we focus in order to find that grounded center within. Venus, radiant planet of love and beauty, is in Virgo now where we may prefer to take care of details and support others – a noble virtue to be sure, but not exactly in line with the self-love of the Leo New Moon.

Today with Venus opposing Neptune, in its own sign of Pisces where it is most powerful in bringing both magic and confusion into our […]

The sparkle of this week’s Leo New Moon

artist unknown?

by Lynn Hayes The next few days offer an opportunity for the heart to open as the Sun and Moon align in Leo, a kiss of magic to open up the heart. The energy of Leo encourages us to return to the simplicity of childhood – to witness and find joy in the simplest things and share that joy with others.

While the Sun represents the physical heart, the Moon represents the emotional heart. How we protect ourselves, how we express our feelings, the level of comfort we feel with the […]

7.22.21 – A choice with Venus opposite Jupiter, and the Sun enters Leo

artist unknown

Venus and Jupiter are both very beneficial planets, so even the stressful aspects are not too bad. Today Venus, newly in Virgo, is opposite Jupiter which is at zero degrees Pisces as it retrogrades back into Aquarius. Venus moving ahead, Jupiter covering old territory. There is a sense here of an opening which comes at the expense of something which is lost – but in any case, this aspect denotes excess of some kind. It’s difficult to think about excess when we’re talking about Venus in Virgo, but as Jupiter […]

7.21.20 – A busy Moon, and Venus enters Virgo

art by Silvia Duran

The planets are beginning to quiet down, and as the more powerful forces wind down for now the subtler energies of the Moon can come into focus. The Moon is in Sagittarius now, whispering a tale of adventure and optimism, hinting that better times are ahead. We can certainly use that right now! Today the Moon squares Neptune very early in the day (all times are Eastern time zone – please adjust for your own locality), urging us to let go of the details for […]

Monday astro update for the week of September 28, 2020 including the Aries Full Moon

Here’s your regular weekly update, complete with a bit more about the Aries Full Moon (but be sure to check out my complete post on this lunation which I feel will be important in helping us integrate the planetary intensity of the moment). We also have both Saturn and Pluto turning direct for more big energy shifts, and Venus moving from Leo into Virgo. I’ll also be weaving in the details of lunar influences so that you can put the whole picture together for your planning. Transcription is below, but as I always I encourage you […]

The astrology of Meghan Markle

This is Part I of a two-part series on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Disclosure: As a long time fan of the Suits TV show (Seasons 1-5, it lost me after Season 6) and a follower of Meghan’s Tig blog until its recent demise, I am fully on Team Meghan. While I’ve tried to be as impartial as possible in this profile, I am definitely prejudiced by my admiration for her and am tickled […]

News from Venus

The lovely Venus, having just entered Virgo a few short days ago, has slowed down for her retrograde turn tomorrow. While traveling backward she will re-enter the more outgoing sign of Leo where she enjoys a good party, at least until she reconnects with Saturn in the days leading up to the exact conjunction on August 13.

The conjunction of Venus with Saturn reminds us of our responsibilities to others and can put a damper on social intercourse. Venus conjunctions to Saturn typically occur every year or so, but the retrogradation of Venus makes this […]
