Today the Moon in Leo opposes the Sun and Mercury in Aquarius while all of the above are (T) squared by a recently direct Uranus in Taurus. All of these planets are in the bounds of Saturn and Mars, which can be a bit on the rough side… but let’s talk about the Uranus situation.Continue reading “FULL MOON in LEO”

Sun in Leo Opposite Saturn Rx in Aquarius
As I write this (12:13 pm Pacific time on Saturday, August 13, 2022), the Sun in Leo is exactly opposite Saturn retrograde in Aquarius (and my natal Sun/Mercury) at 21 degrees. I want to talk about the cycle that these two planets share and how the hands of the celestial clock show what time ofContinue reading “Sun in Leo Opposite Saturn Rx in Aquarius”
Libra Season
In the northern hemisphere, Libra marks the autumnal equinox and the Sun’s descent into darker months. The days are now shorter than the nights and there is a refreshing chill in the air… if you live far enough away from the equator. The time has come to welcome back your fall wardrobe, invest in a new sweater or two (or three), and become an even more lovely and sophisticated version of yourself. Break out the chai spices and the *tasteful* fall decor. Re-invest yourself in your female friends or make a new one. Find win-win-win-win solutions to every problem. If you can’t find the beauty in something, make the beauty.
Venus in Scorpio: September 10-October 7
Venus and Mars are quite an unlikely pair, though they are essentially two sides of the same coin. While Venus brings together, Mars divides. The former takes pleasure in lush gardens, boudoirs, and amorous activities while the latter prefers bonfires, butcher shops, and all things related to war. When the goddess of love and desire enters the temple of Scorpio, the surroundings are not conducive to her usual Venusian activities. This means that those things Venus represents may be challenged during this time. However, this pairing of opposites can also allow for a deeper emotional exploration of those themes.
Mercury in Libra: August 30-November 5
ketplaces, gaming houses, and tabulations while the latter prefers lush gardens, boudoirs, and amorous activities. When the god of communication enters into the temple of Libra, we may find ourselves rationalizing that which ought to be sensual or, conversely, allowing our logic to become languid. On the other hand, Venus’ luxurious home is a perfect place to soothe and release some of Mercury’s nervous tension.
Mid Moon News: August 16-20
Venus begins the week by picking up a lot of power as she moves into her Libran temple and ends it with a beautiful, grounding trine to Saturn Rx in Aquarius. We’re sorting through details going in an effort to tune into what it is we can and cannot relinquish when it comes to our integrity as individuals which requires looking into the not too distant past.
Venus in Libra: August 16-September 10
Venus is about to move on from detail oriented and analytical Virgo to her masculine, airy temple. Here in Libra, the goddess of love, beauty, harmony, and sensuality has everything she needs to express herself as she sees fit…
Mercury in Virgo: August 11-30
The planet of communication, travel, learning, and oracular divination is coming home to Virgo to organize details and clarify messages over the next two weeks. Mars and Venus stuff gets a lift during this time, as both planets are still in Mercury’s domicile.
Leo New Moon
This Leo new moon is a very special one, as it lands on the peak date of the Lion’s Gate portal. Lion’s Gate is a metaphysical and astronomical phenomenon which occurs when the Earth is aligned with Sirius, the brightest star we can see, between July 28 and August 12 every year. This period of time is said to herald accelerated spiritual growth. A level up, if you will. In numerology, the number 8 represents infinity and all that is. On the 8th day of the 8th month, this subtle energetic doorway opens itself wide, inviting those who are ready to walk through. This is not even close to the only dynamic we are working with right now, but it sets the mood and the theme for this moon cycle quite nicely.
Mid-Moon News: Leo Season, Part I
Current cosmic and earthly events focus on communication, boundaries, and our impulse to create. The week opened with intense emotions and maybe even an outburst or two, but will close with rededicating ourselves to do our very best.
