Month: October 2018

Celebrations are in order! First up, we have Mars, our planet of action and energy, which has been off balance since it first entered its shadow phase back on May 12. The of course, there was Mars retrograde from June 26 through August 27. Are you hearing that ding, ding, ding, in your head when these dates are mentioned? Well, today, Mars finally leaves shadow and gives you the green light to energetically tackle some of your ongoing projects. You may wish to check to see where Mars in Aquarius and the current Venus retrograde in Scorpio may affect you, so as to know how to apply yourself.

Second, but not least, your calendar will either show the New Moon in Libra as today or tomorrow, nevertheless, New Moon blessings to all! New Moons are always a cause for celebration, as we set forth our intentions for that which we…

At this New Moon in Libra, there will be some sort of turning point, and the directions it will be sending you to are parts unknown. Set a course for adventure; do you dare risk it all for that which would be emotionally fulfilling to you? This is a karmic evolution if you will, and by the time of the time of the Full Moon in Taurus, your passions will be stoked, and you will finally feel you can make a choice.

This is always a special New Moon, and it has you defending what you believe in as well as what is rightfully yours. As Jupiter in Scorpio is winding down, you are being asked to review what it is you want, what you are willing to leave behind to get it, and what you hope to create. It would appear that, for the moment, even if your mind…

Let’s talk about the Moon today, shall we. First of all, today the Moon is in Virgo, making it a great time to do all things organizational, and perhaps clean out a closet, or two. Second, the Moon will be void-of-course for most of you for the majority of the day, before it makes its entrance into Libra. A void-of-course Moon is when the Moon has had its last major aspect to a planet, such as a conjunction, or opposition. During this void-of-course, I tend to take on a Mercury retrograde attitude. It is not a good time for important communications, nor should you begin anything new. Third, the Moon is in its Balsamic phase, which pairs nicely with the void-of-course, and the fact that it is Sunday. It is a good time to just chill; fill your day with relaxing activities, including meditation, as the Moon continues to wane…

Welcome to Venus retrograde in Scorpio; expect the extreme around love, money, and beauty. As soon as I saw today’s card, I heard “cheers and jeers”, “applause and boos”. There are definitely two extremes to this vibe today, and this is only the beginning, not the end, of the story.

Today you will see, or experience, that boost in confidence, riding high on success, one’s fifteen minutes of fame, praise for a job well done, etc. However, on the flip side of the coin, there is this feeling of what can only be termed as a fall from grace, and someone is definitely falling off their high horse. Expect the vast protests and counterprotests to continue, no matter which way things are going. Venus is all about the Divine Feminine, and it is entirely possible to see an uprising of women. So, remember, no matter what you see happening today…

Don’t forget to listen to my Weekly Tarot Guidance! This week, Mars leaves shadow, shortly before the New Moon in Libra. Mercury will be moving into Scorpio, and there will be no shortage of truths or secrets. The plot thickens… You can listen on Patreon or Facebook Members Only.

Retro-what?

When a planet stations retrograde it enters a part of its orbit where it appears to be moving backwards from Earth’s perspective. Even though the planet is not actually moving backwards, astrologically, this phase translates to a period of “backwards” or unusual behavior by the planet, and a time of introspection, and review for many of us.

While most are somewhat familiar with or at least have heard about the inconveniences of Mercury retrograde, the retrograde cycles of other planets – like Venus – are less commonly talked about. Part of the reason for this may be due to the fact that Mercury stations retrograde pretty frequently: about 3 weeks, 3-4 times a year, whereas Venus only stations retrograde every 19 months for about 6 weeks. In comparison to the retrograde cycles of all the planets, Venus spends the least amount of time retrograde. Because of the infrequency of…

This is the last day before Venus Retrogrades October 5 @ 12:04 pm PDT/ 3:04 pm EDT.

Ready or not- Ready is a re prefix word. here she comes or goes.

For 40 days and 40 nights Venus which rules love, women, creativity, sex, money, beauty, values and balance will be undergoing a death and rebirth from Scorpio back to Libra the sign she rules and the sign of balance.

Venus keywords:  women, friendships, artists, finances, fashion, genitals, girls, money lenders, good taste, the throat chakra [Taurus} truces, weddings, actors, wages, etc.

Expect all relationships to go through a deep review.

Basically do all the RE- PREFIX HINGS. Everything that starts with RE is the modus operendi.

Resistance- women will be doing this big time.

Resist the urge to buy anything. Venus rules shopping. DO NOT CONSUME anything new for 40 days…

By now you have heard that, Venus, currently in Scorpio, will retrograde today through November 16. This only happens every year-and-a-half. Also today, the Moon, which has been in Leo, will be void-of-course for the majority of the day. Today is really screaming at everyone not to do anything new.  But, the 8 of Pentacles demands your undivided attention.

So, it is Friday, perhaps the end of your work week. You may have many projects which need your attention, and with the 8 of Pentacles in the mix, it is imperative to shut out the distractions of the world and give your all to the tasks before you. However, above I mentioned a Venus retrograde and a void-of-course Moon, and said not to begin new projects. Today is best served going over the things on your To-Do List which you have already begun, being extra meticulous, and perhaps even going…
