In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This week's astrology of July 1st - 7th brings opportunities to refine our perspective of reality. First, we have Mercury in Cancer making a trine to Neptune that symbolizes intuitive connections, dreams, and mystical insights. But, Mercury quickly moves into Leo on Tuesday 7/2 and makes an opposition to Pluto in Aquarius. This change symbolizes themes around being seen, heard, and received for our authentic self- expression. Also this week, Venus in Cancer will make a square to Chiron in Aries and a trine to Saturn in Pisces - this combination is conducive to finding repair and healing in relationships, or to solidifying your efforts in a situation that has been challenging in the past. Finally, the New Moon in Cancer is on Friday 7/5 at 3:57pm Pacific Time at 14 degrees of Cancer. This New Moon shows new beginnings around security, safety, and emotional maturity. This week, trust your knowings and know that your perception is becoming more clearly focused. Wishing you much ease in the process 💜

This week's astrology of June 24th - 30th brings opportunities to think thoroughly, deeply, and long-term about situations that have been on your mind for a while. Mercury in Cancer will make a helpful trine to Saturn in Pisces - this symbolizes a concentrated mind with the capacity to think through your responsibilities, commitments, and relationship to time. Mercury will also square Chiron in Aries, invoking awareness around experiences of helping, healing, and how you sacrifice your life force to help others (consciously or unconsciously). We also have the Last Quarter Moon in Aries which symbolizes an emotional tone of releasing and letting go. Finally, Saturn will station retrograde this week at 19 degrees of Pisces and appear to move backward through the zodiac to 12 degrees of Pisces until November 2024. This retrograde process symbolizes a psychological process of working through responsibilities, limitations, or hardships that came up this past March - May 2024...but from a different perspective. Overall, this week there's a lot to think about and it may feel like a mental-emotional-spiritual sorting through - especially around your limits, responsibilities, and commitments. Wishing you a most easeful and healing week 🦋

This week's astrology of May 13th – 19th brings opportunities to connect with your true self. This involves the Sun making a conjunction to Uranus and then Jupiter in Taurus to symbolize moving against conventional rules or social norms. Venus will also conjunct Uranus this week, emphasizing the relational element of this phenomenon. It’s a time where you are discovering more about what it means to be authentic with yourself (Sun-Uranus) and with others (Venus-Uranus). Also this week, the First Quarter Moon in Leo brings an added layer of emphasis around the polarity of self-expression vs. performance. At this point in the monthly lunar cycle, you may be questioning how to move forward in your life based on your priorities vs. the expectations of others. Finally, Mercury moves into Taurus and will square Pluto in Aquarius – this transit is an opportunity to think deeply and discover hidden truths or treasures you may not have realized up to this point. This week, remember that unmasking the true self is a continued process over the lifetime. Thank you for being exactly who you are right now. Wishing you a lovely week 🦋

This week's astrology of April 29th – May 5th brings relational resources online where things have felt (possibly) in flux and in a major transition.

This week we are in the Third Quarter Moon phase of the lunar cycle which supports wrapping up, processing, and winding down or finishing projects over the next two weeks. Also this week, Mars will move into Aries to assist in taking action more easefully, feeling more bold, and maybe motivated where things have felt uncertain up to now. Ultimately, this week is about resources and parts of self coming back online to support your continued journey toward the Self. Wishing you an easeful week 🦋
