At the moment, Venus is the only retrogradable major planetary body which is not in retrograde or pre-shadow. This creates a sweeping slowdown which feels more like a vacation energy, however, right after the Labor Day holiday — that is the definition of confusing! I explain how to best navigate this time, as well as some of the corrosive effects which are already visible. 

This week's buildup to the Pisces Full Moon conjures themes of flooding, while other aspects indicate persistent risks of power outages, and breakdowns in the supply chain, particularly with overseas shipping. I explain how this will impact the globe, while also dissecting the day-to-day transits that impact your immediate surroundings. 

Mars Gemini is sticking out like a sore thumb amidst the outer & social planets retrograding. This, combined with Mercury (ruler of Gemini) in its pre-shadow phase has made people especially prickly. I explain how to channel the Mars Gemini energy in a healthier way. I also detail how this is a perfect time to expand your perspectives and give yourself space to find your true inspiration. 

As we lead up to the Virgo New Moon on August 27, Venus occupies an uncomfortable position, squaring Uranus and opposing Saturn. This will present us with a cross-roads in which we have to commit to an existing long-term relationship, break it off to chase something more exciting, or rekindle the honeymoon phase. I also explain what area of life the Virgo New Moon will impact based on its house position in your birth chart. 

Mars is about to enter Gemini, which will shred through our delicately crafted opinions and belief systems. I examine how this will impact all 12 signs, and which placements will benefit or feel the most challenged by it. 

Thursday's Aquarius Full Moon will test our commitments to various aspects of our lives by adding pressure. While this adds strain, it benefits us in the long-run by helping us see what is truly sustainable. I also explain how this is impacted by the Lion's Gate and the recent Mars-Uranus-North Node conjunction. 

This week begins with the climactic Mars-Uranus-North Node conjunction! This is your time to bust through over-engineered, over-organized dynamics and systems that have been holding you in place for far too long. I explain how Saturn has been over-emphasized in modern society, and why we need Uranus to advance further. I also help you anticipate your emotional world as the week moves along. 

This week, Uranus is front and center, forcing us to disassemble structures we've historically relied on. Power outages, supply shocks, roiling markets, and leadership changes across the globe are reaching a climax. Uranus is inherently challenging the status quo and dialing up the entropy, however, there are ways for you to benefit. I offer a guide. 

This week, Venus enters Cancer, helping us nurture the relationships that matter. Meanwhile, Mars is edging closer to a conjunction with Uranus and the North Node, setting the conditions for a seismic shift towards more independent and free-thinking career paths. I explain what to do to prepare so you aren't feeling left out of the liberating movement! 

This week features an intense, cathartic Capricorn Full Moon that will enable deep emotional release. I explain the process and how to prepare! Also, at the collective level, social activism continues to permeate, while secrets at the largest institutions could be revealed.
