Weekly Astrology Forecast plus a Guided Meditation Activation, Pamela Cucinell, astrologer & Suzy Meszoly, master healer
In the waxing moon cycle, the week opens with a Virgo Moon to encourage focus on whatever needs attention. However, it's kind of a “persnickety” day… I don't know how else to say it. The snare happens if we spend too much time on certain things and miss doing what has the most importance. The ideal here is to use Monday and Tuesday for things that benefit from eagle eye focus. For people who love to details, these couple of days are particularly rich. Utilize this time to its maximum by taking time to prioritize. For more details and the complete forecast for the week, listen to the podcast.For my blog, Spot on Astrology about current events and people in the newsNot yet a subscriber?

We can look forward to a really beautiful week… of course, even on really beautiful weeks, s*** happens. When I do the forecast of astrology, I talk about: how to take control, focus on the good energy, positive aspects. But of course, it all depends on who leads the action. Even when I see days that look really good — unfortunately, people who do have not good intentions can also initiate and ride that energetic thrust. As warriors of spiritual growth and love, I encourage all of us to do what we can to use the Gemini New Moon to propel forward in the most positive way possible. This new moon happens on Memorial Day in the United States at 11:02 PM ET. The planet that it makes a geometric aspect to before it leaves the sign of Gemini is Jupiter. Jupiter is considered the Great Benefic; it is the biggest planet in our sky. There is a also. an astronomical reason why it's our good fortune planet, because its gravitational belt sucks in asteroids that otherwise might sail into Earth! Since Jupiter is presently in the sign of Gemini, the opening days of this week welcome dialogue, invitations, connections and leads. Once the moon is in Gemini, things start to pop.

The week opens with an Aquarius Moon in the waning moon cycle. When in the waxing moon's cycle, the momentum can build towards a goal. In the waning moon cycle, you can move towards a goal, but the thrust is to finish, wrap things up, or complete one phase. Let's say you're working on a long-term project. This is an excellent week to fulfill a task of that project. When we enter the next lunar cycle (Gemini New Moon next week), you can initiate, start a new thread and take action. It doesn't mean that you can't start anything new in the waning moon cycle. It just means that you may feel a pull of something that needs to be addressed before you can move forward. At times, we do what we have to do, when we are called to do it — because life is not necessarily going to flow in the most advantageous way.However, when we have the luxury of adjusting our schedules where we can —attention to lunar cycles help things move more easily.

The Scorpio Full Moon is exact 12.56 pm ET. This full moon is the culmination of the energy that was kicked off with the Taurus New Moon a couple of weeks ago. That new moon invited high creativity to amplify projects, ideas, intentions and magnify love, abundance, and the new. So with this full moon, we integrate actual manifestation with creative transformation.Scorpio energy is transformative. It drives us to consider the arc of our lives from birth to death and everything in between. And within that arc, there's many experiences we have, depending on the intensity of our life or the longevity of our life, the people who we get involved with throughout the lifetime; things are born and there are deaths. We have many stories, vignettes, sagas and little lifetimes in our lives. And when I say little, it doesn't lessen their impact or vitality or meaning within our lives. But it does remind us that we are continually in a process of becoming more who we were meant to be, why we came here, what are what our goals, achievements, purpose.A full moon like this reminds us to reflect on what is it that has transformed or what is up for us in our lives. Some of us may be at a point where we look and we say: well, what exactly do I need to integrate? It's not that we radically alter our personalities, but we can become more tapped into our true voice. So depending on what's going on for you on the 12th, this might be a reflective day or when you work something that's intense, focused; so much can get done.

As the week begins, it's a good time to “grease the wheel”— notice what makes life run more smoothly… and what does not. What routines, tools, or perspectives help you move with more ease? Some situations may call for re-evaluation or subtle adjustments. Midweek into the weekend, you may feel a sense of fulfillment or increased ability to build momentum—especially if connected to whatever began during the Taurus New Moon. Early in the week, consider shedding any habits, patterns, or attitudes that weigh you down. Is there anything that pulls you back or no longer fits your vision or ambition? Make space for something more aligned to bloom.As the weekend nears, you may notice fresh energy rising. If you didn't set a clear intention at the start of the lunar cycle, now is a productive time to ask: What wants more of my attention right now?Or perhaps: Is there a possibility I am ready to entertain?The beauty of this lunar cycle is its invitation to amplify love and creation. The more you align with that vibration, the more effortlessly you attract the right companions, collaborators, and opportunities—those that not only inspire ambition but help bring it to life.

We are opening the waxing moon cycle of the Taurus New Moon that occurs April 27 at 3:31 PM ET. I was struck as last week panned out, that we approach the Taurus New Moon on the day of Pope Francis' funeral. His funeral was on a day when the moon approaches resonance with Earth Goddess energy. Pope Francis valued women. From the onset of his papacy, he marked Mary Magdalene's feast day July 22 as official (always acknowledged by those who admired her as a saint). He brought her into more visibility as the first apostle: the “apostle of the apostles” because she was the one who first saw Christ risen from the tomb. I don't speak a lot about my faith of origin, but I have a very strong education in religion, not just Catholicism. At this point of my life, my interest and curiosity about rituals lead me to speculate on how such an old faith may continue and thrive. I would love to see Catholicism open to an even more progressive pope, which the New Moon suggests is possible. I would also love to see President Trump soften his stance with Zelensky and Europe; may the resonance of loving energy that brought world leaders together on that day of the funeral provide that shift. But however the power dynamic changes, the Taurus New Moon gave us a womb to spring from — your thoughts and wishes of positive growth are powerful.We're still in the energy of that juicy New Moon to think in terms of what:* you want to bring into your life* who you want to attract * what you deserve Amplify that… it helps to find a spot in Nature and feel a part of the Source.I can't encourage all of us enough to amplify the resonance of peace and love at this point in time. Emphasize fairness, peace, and the inherent value and worth of every living being on the planet. Right now there is a lot of noise that does not value human life, or the health of the earth and all animals and its environments.Put optimism, energy and hope of this new moon into your personal life.

The Taurus New Moon happens at 3:31 PM ET on April 27th. Before it is exact, we may discharge residue of fiery, angry feelings. We can't always avoid arguments. That's just the reality of it. But at least if we have discussions, conversations or energy releases beforehand, we're in a place to work through in a way that is much more benefit.We can feel more connected, more heard or… we can be open to a person with a grievance. The ability to untangle the snarls increases on Sunday, even if the argument or confrontation occurred the day before. Keep in mind, self-awareness is miles ahead of not knowing where the heck anger or frustration came from. With this new moon, if we move past that rocky patch of Mars and Pluto energy in a constructive way, we can use that fire and power to fuel creative direction. This Taurus New Moon follows an Earth Day when people will be angry and frustrated as scuttled programs and policies defy movements for a sustainable world. But the spark is full of Venusian influence to encourage: "Love guides us."

The week of April 14, 2025 has pictures in the sky that symbolize the potential for more graceful and less fraught experiences. We still have to deal with the bigger struggles symbolized by outer planet shifts that mirror our whole global landscape, human rights and financial crisis, etc., etc. However we can gain some traction this week on what we aim for and want to emphasize. Constant negative messaging can erode focus on how most of us would like to live as human beings: to complement and support one another and the great biosphere in which we live. Therefore, it's essential that each one of us finds that place where we can feel supported and positive in spite of what seems like insurmountable odds. Monday and Tuesday are terrific days to evaluate a communication, dialogue, contract; make sure you don't miss anything, establish it and understand how to do it. Remember, we're coming off Mercury and Venus retrogrades. Work on deepening into the relationships that support you.

On April 7th 2025 Mercury goes direct as of 7:08 a.m. ET. It's very hard not to mention the news these days. But as Mercury gains speed (starts to appear to move forward from our perspective here on Earth) it will eventually dovetail with Venus as she goes direct April 12, 2025. Don't expect miraculous change (more on the blog: pamelacucinell.substack) — but the fog starts to lift. Some news sources cut through the confusion. Interpersonal relationships, ways to work in systems and communications should open up with fresh perspective. Now that Neptune is in the sign of Aries, hidden or hard to read situations burn off any mystery; we see what's going on, whether we like it or not.As I keep saying about this year, choose your path. Where are you putting your energy? What are you willing to move towards, fight for, believe in or direct to?More on the podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
One thing about this week is communications are the focus: whether bad, miscommunicated, deleted or denial. There is a little window later in the week when things start to clarify. Mercury goes direct next week (this has been a particularly challenging Mercury Retrograde for gazillion reasons). Part of it, yes, is Venus is also retrograde. When you think about it, Venus expresses love, what attracts us, how we flirt, how we engage people, persuade… Venus enhances all these skills because she's about how we each are moved to connect with people. Of course, some people are very good at seduction or selling. And others want to meet you in a very heartfelt place. Others chat, buzz, and stimulate. This time, Venus Retrograde is in Pisces… not everybody feels in clear focus. This period is absolutely fantastic for diving into the dream world, visioning and creativity — because with Venus and Mercury Retrograde in Pisces, we can invite the realm of fantasy, imagination, spirituality.Some of us may go into La La Land and the deep sea of unreality. Depending on what you need to get done, it may feel as though you're adrift or have trouble concretizing anything. The delays will end after this week and the challenge is to invite in what is possible.This week ask yourself: "Am I being clear? What is it I really want or need to say? How do I get my message heard?” More on the podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
Neptune Enters Aries on March 30, 2025, right after the Solar Eclipse / New Moon at 9° Aries. Neptune symbolizes the Universal Unconscious, the big cosmic soup of our collective humanity. In its negative, we can feel powerless, victimized. In its positive, we are pumped with Love and creative juice. In Aries, we can be Warriors for what we most Love.Okay, I'm starting to get really jazzed — We're approaching the second eclipse of the year. Last week was the equinox, which brings potential. Early morning March 24, get things in place that to map out the week because the next few days are when we are complete the lunar cycle, waning moon, before the solar eclipse the end of the week. Many of us may feel an intensification of energy now. People feel things are precarious. Some are very excited because they believe that great changes are coming. In spite of indications that may point otherwise, great things can come, but only through dynamic courage. Huge sweeping changes occur already and have created an unprecedented reality for the United States. But the piece that has not been resolved and won't be, as long as we're going through these big energetic shifts, is what do those changes actually lead to? The United States (big lumbering bear that it is) triggers change throughout the world, especially with financial or military matters. What is super important as we go forward, especially as Neptune moves into Aries the end of the week, is to align yourself with community, allies, and people who support what you would like your world to be. Each one of us can contribute to the whole that we want; what is required is to find your place within that supportive space.More on the podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
This is the week wedged between the two eclipses of March; it brings in the Equinox. Monday the 17th (some practice as St. Patrick's Day) has the moon in Scorpio. The next couple of days are very rich to sink into a greater spiritual understanding of where we are at… …everything is changing, everything can seem upside down. People don't know quite where to land or what to strike out to do. The most important piece is to check in to where you're at for spiritual recognition. Now if you don't have a spiritual practice, many people do respond to nature, a walk outside. Or perhaps you feel a sense of connectivity through music… painting, cooking, whatever promotes that sense of quiet peace and continuation. In this ephemeral world we have continual reminders that everything can change. When the Moon is in the sign of Scorpio, we may think how brief this span of time on earth really is, and the preciousness of these moments.As we approach this Equinox, it stirs the desire to take action for a spiritual mandate. Think about the essence of what spirituality or mysticism is and you may agree that it is Love. Integrate the Love essence with how you take action, your heartfelt desire. It is possible to create enhanced communication and strengthen connection.More on the podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
The first eclipse of the 2025 strikes just as Mercury (communications) goes retrograde. Venus (symbolizing love, money) is already retrograde, which has intensified feelings of not having enough.Things feel tight, less available. Even though both Jupiter (fortune/ risks) and Mars (initiative) are now direct, there is too much back and forth. People do not know what is happening: conflict in North America between Mexico, the United States and Canada. Eclipses always trigger Donald Trump because he was born on a full moon eclipse. In eclipse season, there's a lot of volatility around this man, who's now president of the United States. Expect this.On Monday, the 10th, the moon in the sign of Leo invites a lot of creativity and dialogue. Even a good idea is best served anticipating the possibility of something out of left field throwing the concept. Now, this isn't necessarily bad. We're in the waxing moon cycle, so the potential for new energy to come is quite high, especially as we go towards that eclipse.

The week of March 3rd, 2025: Venus Retrograde. This has been a very volatile period of time, much ado about the planetary line-up… but more important, in world news — the value shift. Venus is the planet that signifies love, what we value, where we invest, our relationship with money, what we feel we deserve, and how we ideally create harmony — or not. With the retrograde — right before the volatile events that happened between the United States and Ukraine (and therefore Europe, etc., etc). We are in a very strong re-evaluation period of how certainly the United States postures itself with allies and obviously the shift has been extreme. Venus in the sign of Aries…. Aries is the sign that links to the planet Mars; this is an aggressive stance of Aries. It's decisive and makes a statement that is self-involved. That is just one impression of what's going on with Venus Retrograde and it will continue through the next couple of months. It goes direct on April 12th. Part of what we might all be thinking about this week is what do we value, care about and want to invest our love and money in? This can be highlighted for each of us personally when you know where Aries falls in your horoscope. Obviously, people with strong Aries placement may feel this in a personal way. Also, Librans and Taurus, are the signs that are linked to the planet Venus. Good general things to do when Venus is retrograde: reflect on what you earn. How long has it been since you've asked for a raise? Or if your self-employed, changed your rates — of course, in present economy, that may feel a little, again, volatile, difficult to confront or deal with. But what's important is to look at it, evaluate and see, do I feel I'm getting my worth in what the output I'm putting in? And another thing very important to consider, am I investing what I truly want to work care about in things that I value most? And I think that this is a, in general, really valuable thing for many of us to reflect on at this point in time when, as I've talked at many, many times with this shift that we're experiencing. It's incredibly important to really choose what it is you're doing, leaving, investing, and how committed you are to an outcome that is in alignment to what you truly believe and care about. So those are general themes for the weeks coming forward, but we may be feeling a real push towards it now that we're on the onset of this retrograde.

The dark of moon prior to the Pisces New Moon can surprise, reveal or even upset; it may hit from a place we didn't see coming. We're invited to open up to the unexpected and possible discomfort to push us in new directions. This encourages actions to allow the possibility for change. It can happen very quickly! Slough off what you don't want: fear, anger, lack of confidence. Perhaps a pile of things you've carried around from move to move but haven't used in years? You might pass it on to someone else. There's a tremendous energy surge when you've decided you're done.At 7:45 PM ET on February 27 the Pisces New Moon supplies the juice for deep spiritual and creative renewal. Mars went direct over the past weekend to fuel a nice momentum. It's wonderful to be brimming with ideas or possibilities, but it becomes more effective if you narrow it down to what to concentrate on now. It opens heart energy to become far more effective when funneled into a project or one connection or one concept. Over the weekend, Venus goes retrograde… more on this on the podcast Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
Mars goes direct this week and it's important to have make sure things are shipshape when we move forward.Neptune is at the final stages of the sign of Pisces, something we've been experiencing since 2011 because Neptune is a slow moving planet. There's a miasma, cloudiness and nebulous quality of many things: eradication of truth, facts, proliferation of self-medications to obliterate one's passion or drive for life. Coupled with continual messages of helplessness and victimization, these are all negative products of Neptunian energy. Neptune spans a spectrum from victim to savior — and everything in between: the artist, the healer, the helper, the visionary, missionary, one who sacrifices. As we have experienced this arc, it may seem as though we've missed the overall concept of Neptune. The God of the sea, Earth is mainly water and our bodies are mainly water. Our most precious resource is water. Neptune symbolizes the highest octave of love; the ideal connection for us all is we are all one. Yet media and messaging has used victimization to divide us so we are not seeing the best side in the last gasps of Neptune in Pisces. The positive of this is that as we go through this extreme metamorphosis it can precipitate a revolt or correction. In this contemplative week, our relationship with the energy of Neptune can influence many of our moves; choose how to operate with wisdom.

The week of February 10th, 2025 opens in the waxing moon cycle; we move towards the culmination of Full Moon energy. This particular full moon invites us to look at how we communicate to build bridges with neighbors, siblings, with an emphasis on self-expression. Does the community see us for what we bring, or do we limit ourselves because we are not allowed (or it is not comfortable) to contribute?Can you do something that lights up your star power?... this can be quiet acknowledgement within— it depends on the person. We all have Leo energy: every sign is somewhere in your horoscope's makeup. We all have the same celestial DNA, which symbolizes the intrinsic quality of a human being. However, in today's world, the news, social media and messaging — is about how we're not the same. We are told to keep away from certain groups, there's no possible reconciliation and… some groups of people are more important or more valuable than others. And yet, it doesn't matter who the person is when there's a biological connection from the donor that can save another person's life, as in blood or organ donors.. This particular full moon is invites us to look at how do I express my unique quality, my creative self within the community, what is my contribution? Some people believe their contribution is to be antagonistic, different and not connect. The dynamics of this full moon can indicate disharmony. But within dissonance, communication can tease out or start a dialogue; it can create vibrations that allows awakening. It's work to listen, express and be alert to ways to move the dissonance into integration and dialogue.More on the podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
The week opens with an Aries Moon and Mars retrograde, which indicates a lot of emotional push and pull… move, stop, move, stop. It's more stop than move. People can be cranky. There can be a high level of frustration. A well-worn grievance may need to be expressed, but won't carry heat for long — unless action is taken on it that one might regret. A sudden blow up is a temporary condition, so consider with care before you engage. Jupiter goes direct on February 4 at 4:40 AM ET! Tuesday/Wednesday's Taurus Moon supplies a good cycle of follow-through. Find the high-vibration for creativity, coupled with a spiritual mandate. Break bread with those you love. People come together for common goals and community. By the weekend, pay attention to emotional needs: people we love and care about — yes, but also people we don't know, the neighborhood around us, the landscape, our home and all living things. There's strong nurturing energy during this waxing moon cycle… more on the podcast Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
We are in for a challenging week. How to best strategize, prepare and utilize the energy's play? This week is the Aquarius New Moon, the onset of the 2025 Chinese New Year. I will send out another forecast about the year for that New Moon — so far, it's been quite an opening of 2025 — hasn't it? January 27th has the moon in the sign of Capricorn, a pretty good day. Bear in mind, a good day in a challenging week. The new moon occurs on the 29th, EST. Monday in the dark of moon period has a serious tone about life and what we're doing here. Even with light-hearted activities, there's the capacity to deepen into spiritual perspective. The Indians have a term: Maya — the illusion of reality that we all create. Of course, mine is different than my husband's and is different than my siblings' — even though we share common experiences; the unfathomable wonder of unique perceptions.We create and see the world through our own lens. Part of the illusion that we all struggle with is how do we work towards common truth? It's quite a challenge, especially in today's world — where there's alternate truths. This has always been the case one could argue, but the difference between now and 30 years ago is that realities were not able to be manipulated in quite the same way as they are in our cyberworld. With this moon in Capricorn, it behooves us to look at what is your reality and why? There are benefits to question our worldview and our responsibility within it. On the 27th, we're invited energetically to reflect on how we view the world and if that's connected to the greater continuum and community. Are we living in a way that is in alignment to what or who we want to be spiritually? For those without a spiritual call, the emphasis is to expand and support the illusion, no matter what seems to threaten or deflate it. On Tuesday the 28th, inspiration may come to some of us in the morning with a sense of lightness, to feel more love and connection. The new moon occurs on the 29th at 7:36 a.m. ET at 9° Aquarius 51”, Chinese year of the Wood Snake. A 9 year (endings) plus the Snake… expect a lot of shedding this year. Use it to move past stuck energy. The next day, the 30th, Uranus goes direct —it pushes a lot of electric volatile energies in this brief time. I go into this week more on the podcast and the Lunation post will be out soon. Please remember, effective power comes when we note our reaction, catch it, and choose how we respond. Be a love warrior. Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
I'll post about January 20th, 2025 on my blog, Spot on Astrology. It's the USA Inauguration Day as well as when we honor Martin Luther King Jr. Not an easy day; the Libra Moon travels in the sky to make geometric symbols of conflicts with other planets. For one, we see conflicts with communication. This could be communication blips that occur depending on what we're trying to do or make happen. If you want to bypass that bump, then do most activities past noon EST. However, another wrinkle on this day is signaled by the opposition of the Moon with Chiron. In the myth, Chiron was known for his healing wisdom and knowledge that was far and beyond other sources. However, Chiron could not heal himself and was in continual agony. When someone has Chiron strong in their horoscope (as it is on this day and therefore the 2025 Inaugural chart for the United States), then we need to learn what wisdom comes from the wound. If we just focus on the wound, then we're raging in pain all the time. Martin Luther King Jr. Day honors a man of peace who practiced civil disobedience. With Mars Retrograde in Cancer, people are going to be unsettled, angry, aggressive or frustrated if they are not conscious of constructive ways to utilize that fuel. If you encounter anger within yourself or someone else, move into a place where you understand its source.More on the podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
The Cancer Full Moon on January 13th stimulates emotional drive to engage with spirit and produce a result. What motivates us, makes us feel connected… we're here to do something, not only purposeful, but presented as a gift. With Mars Retrograde in Cancer, we go over the past — especially family or place of origin — how connected we are to that legacy, our roots. And for some of us, it needs to be reassessed, looked at differently, so that we may decide that we are free of certain things that continually draw us back. Think about yourself, people who you know or people in the news who cling to grievances and things in the past that they feel wronged by. We may not be able to totally cut off historic influences. Yet in a conscious way, we can step back and choose to proceed with new awareness. When we go through it in the habitual way, then our experience will be that familiar story. But for those of us who want to grow, especially in this full moon period nudged by Mars retrograde, we can modify the story.More on the podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
In this first full week of January in 2025, we're in a reckoning time as Mars retrogrades in the sign of Cancer. In backward motion from our perspective, we're asked to delay, reflect and slow down. Slow down is not a happy place for Mars. Mars is the planet that symbolizes how we assert ourselves, go forward, express our libido, desire and anger… so when it's retrograde, depending on our personal horoscope, there may be a tendency to implode — the information goes inside. And that is not comfortable, obviously. A healthy expression of Mars is to know what you want, express and be able to go for, to make happen in this lifetime… as well as to understand when and why you get angry… how to express anger in a way that is non-reactive, with the appropriate force or assertion that's necessary to move that anger to a healthy point of resolution. Mars retrograde in Cancer may bring up unresolved feelings, specific to family grievances. Cancer is a sign that is linked to the hearth, family of origin, our roots. Many of us may feel some pushback, especially coming off holidays. This week is a great time to process that, well supported by the the waxing moon cycle and to see things in different light. Work it out on a ball court, put it into art, express in some sort of activity that is not destructive. That is the best way to use this power, because it is a power we want to understand and be informed by. If it feels too big, then give yourself some distance from it. Take a walk, get some air in the room, do things that lower the intensity — handle it instead of ignoring it. If there are historic issues, like feelings of not being heard — whatever the residual or old story is, we want to create good foundations for the new story. This is a life journey for many of us; we experience an epiphany and feel a release but then sometime later it's: oh, so I guess I have to deal with that too. Nonetheless, it can be a really lovely week to push through some old emotional stuff and get a bit liberated from it.… for the complete week's forecast, listen to the podcast Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
December 30th has the New Moon in the sign of Capricorn at 5:27 PM ET. This New Moon at the end of 2024, sets up the ability to reflect on what we learned from Pluto in Capricorn, which began in 2008. Look for my podcast specific to Capricorn New Moon 2024.Pluto stripped away preconceptions of how we thought things work, especially our institutions and financial systems. We can see it at play in governmental structures all around the world. As Pluto now travels through the sign of Aquarius, we will revisit the time of the American Revolution. The United States may look very different in eight, ten years than it does today. This new moon asks: what do you want to have happen? What potential can you imagine? What is our responsibility if we invite in higher octaves of love, connectivity, and a sense of overall harmony within our world? So on a small scale, whatever you contemplate, or want to make happen in your personal life, start with a commitment. You don't have to know the how yet, but make a contract with yourself.More on the podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
December 23rd opens the week with a Libra Moon. We can connect with people, move with a certain amount of grace and access ability to follow through. Opportunities pop. Moon in Libra wants to understand, create dialogue and invite a balance of opinions. Because Mercury is direct now (but Mars is retrograde), things may take longer to roll out… and it's right smack in the heart of the holiday season. So anything business-wise may take a while to get off the ground. Things that have to do with generous heart, love, family, charity and friendship can really sing around this time. Now, the other thing to mention on Tuesday, which is Christmas Eve is that the moon goes void of course as of 5:44 AM. When the moon is void of course is that people are not as emotionally attached to outcomes. This Christmas Eve is really nice to enjoy events, people-watch and super fun stuff — but for those who actually have to work... follow through on projects already in motion and just know that you can only do as much as you can do.The other thing to note is it's the second time that we have Jupiter square Saturn. Jupiter is in Gemini and Saturn is in Pisces creating a geometric picture which causes tension. The friction heightens because the planets Jupiter and Saturn symbolize different aspects of “paternal” authority and financial systems. In the case of Saturn, it's structured, disciplined, selectively responsible, can be very cold and strategic. Whereas Jupiter is adventurous, far seeking, optimistic and speculative. It can be hung up on things of the higher mind, judicial or with a religious perspective. These two expressions in the collective create a blockade when at odds. Each one wants to be seen for what it does and have a say. We see authority figures in the news and controversy based on what's just, what freedom look like and what holds in education, institutions and corporations. Many countries right now are going through turmoil. If Gemini, Pisces, Virgo or Sagittarius are strong in your horoscope, this configuration may affect one of your personal planets. If so, the lesson is to honor both sides of self and not capitulate too strongly in one direction or the other. Is something at the cost of something else? How do you reconcile that so that something meaningful is not tossed because the other voice is so much more demanding?

As we come off the past weekend's Full Moon (quite confusing or challenging for some of us); wildly different conversations, especially if fraught with intellectual/ logic against what feels like justice. Sunday evening may have brought good rest, as Mercury went direct. As this week opens readjust; Mercury retraces its recent path. Confusion starts to clear, although not necessarily absolute clarity. We just may feel less of a fog, which is certainly preferable. The moon is in the sign of Cancer on Monday and Tuesday. Therefore, if you've a lot of water or perhaps earth, you want people or situations that feel comfortable and safe. You may think that's good all the time, but some thrive on conflict… when they seek solutions or stimuli, they attract tension and friction! Yet with this Cancer Moon, we look for that tranquil cove to reset. We need to figure out where we are, evaluate and reflect before we gain momentum. These are unsettling times. Your practice when on less tumultuous waters is to keep righting your ship.Practice regular spiritual hygiene, whatever's working for you. Some people like a journaling, or scribing their gratitudes. Others exercise the morning pages from The Artist's Way. Yoga practice, stretching, martial art - all forms of meditation. I love being able to walk in nature or garden and just “be” to drift for a while. When I lived in the city, there was the roof and skyline or a walk by the river. You may like a cloistered meditation or you may seek ways that give you a sense of space. Prioritize a practice of meditation; it will feed you and allow calm in the chaos. It doesn't have to be fancy or rigid — washing dishes or taking a bath works for some. More on the podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
Neptune is now direct in the sign of Pisces before it hits Aries — this will happen in 2025 on March 31st. Yes, it will dip back into Pisces, but as of spring 2025, Neptune starts to sextile with Pluto in Aquarius. This stimulates innovation and accelerate visions of Utopia (which is not a uniform concept).We will experience leaps and bounds as social movements evolve and take shape. As Neptune has gone direct this December 7, conversations intensified on social media of who warrants sympathy in a crime and who does not. The event recently in New York City — still a shock as I write this, the assassination of United Health Care CEO who was gunned down in a midtown street early morning, simply doesn't happen! In spite of prattle about how dangerous cities like New York City are, this is not normal. It is Pluto in Aquarius. Pluto, symbol of irrevocable transformation in the sign of freedom and revolution. No one should be shot down, but the public response as to the news that the bullets were inscribed “deny, delay, depose” has connected to many who are sick of the US health system and its allegiance to profits. As Neptune has been in the sign in Pisces, it has intensified the feelings of victimization. The sense of not being understood, coupled with the seduction of social media as well as denial of subliminal messages. Conspiracy theories abound regardless of what camp you happen to be in politics, education or the legal system, you name it. So, am I singing “hallelujah” as Neptune makes this pass that will eventually take it into Aries? Well, we'll see. And I will post soon the astrology of the time of the shooting.Back to this this week: it opens with Mercury and Mars retrograde; communications tend to get snarled. You can't assume anything. It's really important to back up your files. Get your books and files in order. If you didn't do it before the retrograde, this is a great time to do it. Overall this week is opening with pretty good energy considering everything else that's going on. We're still in the waxing moon cycle. We're building energetically whatever it is. We are trying to launch, get off the ground, finish complete. And as long as we keep those retrogrades in mind and are doing our due diligence and moving, you know, mincingly forward or as with as much Intentionality as we possibly can, it can be a productive week.

The planetary activity this week is subtle — certain shifts happen — so nonetheless, it's impactful. The New Moon happened in the wee hours yesterday morning Eastern Standard Time. In Sagittarius, this opens up the high holiday season: partying, celebration, connections with family and friends. There's been an increase of religious fervor; it gained traction in the later part of the last century and momentum this century. As many people have drifted away from religion, there's been a focus by some to bring them back. This has been symbolized by Pluto first in Sagittarius and then Pluto in Capricorn. The emphasis is to make faith bigger, not just religious faith, but hope and dream expectations. Be mindful of a fervor that leads to blindsided narrow vision. Think about the archer that pulls back the bow to aim for the goal. The New Moon gathers energy, and when in the waxing moon cycle, it helps to recognize your direction and your focus. This time of year, many faiths and religions focus on celebration or culmination or an expectation of what's ahead. For many of us it may be to plan family / friend events. For others it's concentrated thoughts on a religious or ritual closing of the year. And this New Moon is strongly aspected to support unfolding action, for anything you want to give creative energy and drive. On Monday, there's a picture in the sky between Venus and Uranus in the early morning that suggests new ideas from out of the blue. It might be, “wow, this person is very attractive to me”. Why, if you never thought of this person or perhaps color, music or food as desirable or intriguing, suddenly it is so. This spontaneous interest can happen around December 2nd. Keep in mind, that surprise kick can bring a buyer's remorse. You may not want to engage in something without thinking about the consequences. Unless it tracks with what that overall goal is, give it 12/24 hours to sit with it a bit to be certain you are prepared to do this.More on the podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
Mercury goes retrograde November 25th at 9:42 p.m. EST. With the Moon in Libra, the week opens with good days as long as you work within the parameters of the retrograde: reflect, revisit, back up files and edit.Remember, Mercury is retrograde for the next couple of weeks. We're also in the waning moon cycle, because the New Moon happens this upcoming weekend. This is the period to wrap things up, slough off anything you don't want to bring into the next lunar cycle, clear your head and plan a fresh start. Obviously there are things we work on continually — health, job, relationships, maintenance, routines and perhaps a long-term project. We don't necessarily finish these things up, but we may end a certain aspect or decide to modify or change how we do it. So the waning moon cycle can be very constructive as the weeks begins. You may emphasize anything that needs to be discussed, litigated or compromised. The Mercury retrograde taps into intuition and the ability to reconsider our present understanding; revelations happen.

On November the 19th, Pluto again returns into Aquarius. The “goodbye” to Pluto in Capricorn, which happened during the United States election, also starts to the shift of Pluto into Aquarius. Aquarius is said to be the humanitarian sign, evolutionary and forward-thinking. I'm not saying that that isn't true, but Aquarius can be a bit imperious. You may know an Aquarius who is very convinced that they have the knowledge, the wisdom and they alone know the right path. People who have strong Aquarius (Sun, Moon, personal planets, points) usually are opinionated people and are sure that everything would work better if people just lived and did things the way they think it should be done.So the journey of Pluto in Aquarius will have its share of strong voices and righteous behavior. The balancing act is to keep respect for individual people during the powerful mandates before us.More about the week n the podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
The week opens to encourage “flow”. When the moon is in Pisces “action” can feel amorphous. It works best when you flow in that direction. If that's a natural way you do things, then you are in your element. People with a lot of water in their horoscope: Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, as well as Earth signs: Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo, may feel especially in the zone. Work with whatever's in front of you, especially if it's got to do with how to shift into the next gear. If you are up for transformation and to do whatever may need to happen, this is going to be a gravy day. Yes! We're harmonizing with wonderful, beautiful energy. By Tuesday the 12th, the Moon enters Aries. As we move from flow into fire we must pay attention to reconcile energies that are so different.More about the week on the podcast…Thanks for reading Pamela's Astrology Insight Now!!

This is a very dynamic week with the United States election. Information is confused on Monday. Don't put a lot of stock in what you read but if you have anything important to do (like vote in the US election) make sure that you have what you need and know where to go. Opportunities can come up so it's important to prioritize time. Be well prepared. The best advice I can give for Tuesday early morning, US Election Day, is to clear out the cobwebs…. really super important. The moon goes void of course at 5:23 AM. The moon enters Capricorn at 10:17 AM. Capricorn is the cardinal earth sign. It starts, it takes stock and considers its goals. This day bodes well for people who show up, pay attention, do their due diligence and are goal-oriented. This energy carries through on Wednesday into Thursday. It works off that New Moon in Scorpio. We can meet whatever demon may present itself. Considering the temperature of the United States, Election Day has a serious and sober weight to it. People take responsibility to what needs to transpire. Of course, as the moon moves through the sign of Capricorn, the last geometric aspect will be to Pluto. It suggests a seismic change from the results of this election. If you are a United States citizen, your responsibility is to vote. If you don't think it makes any difference, then you have never lived in a country where you did not have the freedom to vote.If you don't think it matters which candidate wins, then the Capricorn message is to read a variety of news sources (not just social media) to think about the big picture, because there is a difference in this particular election. The extreme polarity will swing into balance over the next several years and the question is, how extreme must it get before compromise and understanding start to balance the scales.The positive side to Capricorn is to show up and take responsibility… otherwise we are so bummed out, we can't do anything. It's far better to do things that make us feel actualized in this lifetime.You have the gift of life and you are here for a reason!

If you begin something when Jupiter is Retrograde, don't rely heavily on bling, glamour, high hopes, travel, or money. Perhaps you revisit something already launched. You can tweak it and approach it in different ways now that you've learned how to make a better product or message. If you write, books or publications can be reissued. Enhance your knowledge on a subject. You might want to gain new perspective on real estate and this may be a good time to buy. If you're not a regular meditator, sink into whatever allows you to drift a bit. Swim, gaze out the window, stroke a pet while relaxing, walk in nature and clear your mind: these are the motions that can allow recharge to serve you well. As the week opens, a picture between Saturn and Venus, can trigger feelings of limited resources. Some of us may benefit from more discipline, responsibility, commitment and boundaries… whether for ourselves or to require that of another.Listen to the whole podcast for the full week's insight….Thanks for reading Pamela's Astrology Insight Now!!

The week begins with a Gemini Moon; Monday morning starts off well. We're in the waning moon cycle, so this week overall is a time of completion — wrapping up. It's not that we can't start anything new, but keep in mind Jupiter retrograde. So anything you do start, do not expect monetary wins or wild success. This can be somewhat mitigated because of how Jupiter jives with your personal horoscope, or the nature of the business or launch. Of course, one job that will begin during this Jupiter Retrograde is that of the U.S. presidency and any other offices up for this election. Whoever wins has a historic connection to the overall vision of what they want to accomplish today. To begin something when Jupiter is Retrograde can work through wisdom learned. In the case of the US election, who are the candidates to shape the future with wisdom won from their life experience?

The week opens with the moon in the sign of Pisces. Monday can be quite chill; we can receive and connect. For people who stay up late on the US East Coast (or if you live in a different time zone) it's lovely to bring in opportunities and situations that augment or support your goal. Now, let's say you usually sleep at that point in time. It's really good to do dream work — put wishes or intentions under your pillow, or simply bring them to mind before you wind down and go to sleep. Ask your unconscious mind to draw in to conscious awareness new ideas. When you dream, you're open to what might come. Your ability to receive can be heightened. You might wake from a dream with a revelation, or have an impression, jot it down to make more sense in the waking hours. If it's symbolic content: animals, shapes, colors, objects or a convoluted story — give it time to tell you what it means. There's a picture in the sky between Venus and Uranus, an opposition. Depending on where this falls in your horoscope, you might be attracted to something or someone unusual for you. The thing about a Uranus transit is we experiment but it doesn't mean commit to it for the rest of your life. It can bring in a sense of “wow!”, which can be cool or on the other hand, “what was I thinking?”For the Full Moon… more on the podcast Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
Jupiter, the planet that symbolizes luck, good fortune, expansiveness and opportunity goes retrograde this week. This indicates optimism, speculation and generosity may get put in check. It doesn't mean everyone will tighten the belt or put projects on hold, but it may affect certain projects or curtail investment. People with strong signatures of Sagittarius or Pisces may feel this more acutely, as will those with a prominent Jupiter. You can also look to see where the sign of Gemini is in your horoscope; this can show the area of life that most feels held back.Jupiter will be retrograde until early February. It is not advisable to start a new business, launch or pitch an idea that you want someone to invest in at this time. This may be mitigated if indicated in your personal horoscope.More about this week and Jupiter Retrograde can be found on this podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
This stands to be an eventful week - not necessarily an easy week. We feel momentum with the last eclipse of the year. That's happens on Wednesday October 2nd ET.The couple of days before the solar eclipse is the dark of moon time; this period anticipates when the moon “renews”. A New Moon is a time for new beginnings and fresh starts. In the podcast, I talk about how that has a different color to it because of this particular eclipse.The week opens with a desire for appropriate partnerships, to recognize your allies. Some of us may feel overtaxed: “why do I have to do all this myself? Where's my support system?”When this is a point of stress, evaluate how you might position yourself for different results. The moon in Virgo presents options for the clearing work we need to do and how to put things in place to allow ourselves a sense of: “This feels good to me.” Of course, we have to take action and admit when: “This no longer works for me. How can I help my body feel better or support a healthy emotional state?”That Virgo moon is well positioned with the planet Pluto to give emphasis on things that are therapeutic, healing work, detoxing… we can meet parts of ourself that we are ready to expunge or evaluate. The dark of moon period is a time when as the moon goes dark, essentially, and sky may be spectacular with stars, depending on where you live. This is a little harder to do in urban areas. And actually, in our very lit up world, it's more and more challenging to find a real ceiling of stars…More on the podcast- Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
We are in the Waning Moon cycle. It ebbs from the energy of the lunar eclipse that happened in mid-September and moves towards the last eclipse of the year.I'll talk more about that Solar Eclipse on October 2, next week. Basically, we straddle this highly charged time between eclipses. Of course, “stuff” is always happening. But with eclipses the emotional temperature ramps up. There's a sense of immediacy, action and anticipation.This can be emphasized depending on what these eclipses might trigger in an individual's horoscope. Yes, we are going to still notice high activity in the news cycles. As that moon travels, you may experience something that speaks about how this time affects you personally. If you are feeling triggered, check in with yourself. Observe how you are reacting and why. An eclipse can liberate us from old behaviors or past patterns. This works best when we respond to a situation with awareness.More on the podcast… Get full access to Pamela's Astrology Insight Now! at astrologyoasis.substack.com/subscribe
This is the week of the lunar eclipse. Overall, a very strong week for fulfillment and to go towards the outcome that you want to achieve.The thing to keep in mind as we move towards the full moon lunar eclipse on Tuesday the 17th - 10:34 PM ET, is to bring together the forces that have to do with how you put yourself out in the world. This is highlighted in ways of service, actualization and realization of projects. We can feel a sense of creative and spiritual fulfillment, no matter how fleeting. Eclipses can provide a window, glimpse and even a catalyst for a leap, depending on where it falls in your horoscope. This week invite ideas and revelations, while at the same time exercise routines to anchor and stabilize for those moments of transformation.Listen to the podcast for more… lunar meditation drops tomorrow.

This week Pluto returns to Capricorn and we may see in the news an incident or a story that's very specific about resistance to change. Capricorn holds to the safe and familiar. Yet as Pluto in Aquarius becomes more consistent, so too radical change. This millennium is still in baby stages.Think about the year 2000 and how life “worked”. We see how in 24 years there's been an arc of change, with huge leaps of new concepts and lifestyle shifts. These have sprung from difficult passages and awful events as we come to terms with climate change, the power of the internet and effects of war and inequality.Not everybody's happy about change, and even those who invite it can experience incredible discomfort. It is natural to be wary of the total unknown.However, you can't stop a river from flowing where it wants to move when the water rises, although people's will and their technology have tried. Mother Earth shows us our limitations. So this is a week to meet change head-on. Determine what needs to be wrapped up as you contemplate your next move.

Jupiter wants to make everything bigger, so people may think they know more. They may want justice as they see it and rule. It can also encourage expansiveness, which can be lovely… or make one see the world is for the taking. It's a very big energy, and can be generous. Either way, it's not really big on moderation. Since Mars aligned with Jupiter this past week, there has been a lot of push. So the Aquarius Full Moon, even though Mars has moved slightly on (separating from its conjunction with Jupiter), ignites a big sense of possibility. However, Jupiter is in direct square with Saturn (90°). Saturn symbolizes what restricts us, disciplines us, and determines how responsible we are. Do we make commitments? What are our limitations? Nothing limits us as much as what we fear. So when Saturn and Jupiter are in what we call hard aspect, in this case, a 90 degree angle from our perspective here on Earth, we have friction. Two forces at odds with one another. The Jupiter part is possibilities. Learn more, expand, take more. The Saturn piece is “show up”, set limits, keep your counsel. How you respond to these energies, depends what goes on with you. In the end, the ideal is to claim these pieces of self. Saturn emphasizes what you're committed to and your goals. Or it can feel as though something or someone is stopping you. Jupiter asks: how much do you want to expand? How much do you want to grow? What risks dare you take?The Leo Sun lights up that moon in Aquarius. We want to shine within our community or even have an impact on humanity. That impulse can be as big as an ocean or as small as a fishbowl… it depends on the person.

Consider with care what you say or with anything contractual; Mercury is retrograde and energy is high. There are times of particular tension between how we may react or respond in mercurial delivery of our message. If you work online or tend to answer texts in a quick manner, a second look before you “send” is well worth it.Messages can be a bit rough, so we want to consider before we engage. We all hear the messages that belch out through the media. It's very difficult to avoid the strain of the continual noise. This creates a mood that affects us, whether conscious of it or not.This week Mars moves through the sign of Gemini, and on Wednesday the 14th, it is exact conjunction with Jupiter, 11:22 a.m. ET. Jupiter has been approaching an exact square to Saturn, and Mars heats that up.We feel the tension of desire that has to conform or fit a framework. Mars wants action, Saturn demands accountability, restraint and discipline. Jupiter expands the force of Mars push while at the same time, increasing the constriction felt by Saturn's influence. As uncomfortable as this period may feel, it can also be one of high productivity that pushes an achievement or goal.More on the podcast … This is a public episode.

What happens when Mercury's retrograde?Monday, the 5th of August brings storm energy where Mercury seems to change direction.Obviously, Mercury still moves in its orbit around the sun. However, from Earth's perspective, it appears to go backwards.Over the course of millennia, astrologers have observed that when this occurs, (especially for people who have strong Mercury in their horoscopes: people with a lot of Gemini or Virgo — or Mercury on an angle — such as the Rising sign or midheaven), they HAVE to pay attention...Mercurial people often do many things effortlessly. They are the original multitaskers; they move through many different mediums at the same time and not lose train of thought. They bounce around with total ease and adept recovery. When Mercury is Retrograde, these people may drop the ball or misstep. However, people with more thoughtful approaches to Mercury (the realms of communication, details, technology)... perhaps because their natal Mercury is Retrograde or in an earth or water sign... these people often are in their comfort zone at this time. Mercury Retrograde reminds us that there are different forms of communication.When Retrograde, Mercury pulls us back to pay attention to the way we often move through the world in a communication capacity. Are we really as effective as we think in transmitting and receiving ideas, concepts and feelings?Mercury goes direct on August 28 - we have about 3 weeks to observe this.Use these few weeks ahead of us is to pay attention when something is brought up again; are you asked to edit something, or does the news cycle bring up an old story with a revelation or different spin?Bottom line, if you think you know everything, or a lot about something - you may be wrong. We revisit, we realign ourselves, we reconsider; thoughtful consideration actually strengthens communication.Invite a new perspective. This is a public episode.

Suzy, my dear friend, has always been my co-creator for a podcast, going on at least 14 years. However, nothing is as sure as change. And we are in times of uber-changes.Here I face change. It feels sudden, but I did ask Suzy months ago if she still wanted to do this work. I felt a need to increase the astrology emphasis on the program. At the time she said “yes”, but with time, she's made the decision to take a break.This episode is my first solo flight. Suzy may be back or do an occasional guest appearance. However it is most important that she focus on her work. I invite you all to explore her website, which is at SuzyMezoly.com. Suzy is an amazing homeopath and master healer. I thank you all, as does she, who've enjoyed her unique presentations and meditation. Go to her website to know more of her dimensions.Going forward, please let me know what you might need from this podcast. Its intention is to guide you through whatever challenges or opportunities come up in the week ahead. This is a public episode.

Themes this week: networking, connecting, not connecting. The intensity of polarization, such as: “I'm attracted to this idea and you're attracted to another idea… No, that doesn't work”.What is really important is to meet discussions where you can. The Sun has moved into the sign of Leo, in opposition to the planet Pluto in Aquarius.Pluto is retrograde, so there's a tug occurring — we feel a need for radical shift.The huge question is what is the radical shift? Because that changes based on what your opinions are about what is radical… which may no longer be what you used to think. This is a public episode.

Suzy and I recorded this a couple of days ago… today there was a shooting at a rally for Donald Trump in which he was injured. As I post this, it's important to know the Mars Uranus conjunction is not exact until Monday. This event is certainly part of its energy.Be very aware of what's going on around you, especially in the morning Eastern Time Zone of July 15th. When Mars is in alignment with Uranus, these 2 planets together show dynamic action and unexpected, at times volatile action. We can absolutely anticipate something in the news that propels catalytic action. This occurrence creates: Whoa! Everybody looks at the shock of a Mars Uranus incident. Yet we don't want it to be an accident in which we're involved. Certainly that's why hyper awareness is your friend at this time. Take responsibility, eyes open, pay attention to your surroundings, and most important — pay attention to what's going on with your emotions and those of people around you.These days can be highly productive. We can give birth to something amazing, as creative ideas explode out. You want to invite in the right pyrotechnics. More on the podcast. This is a public episode.

This is a challenging week, yet waxing moon cycles are when we can tap into the momentum to accomplish or put things in motion. The ideal is to go forward and proceed — and decisively cut losses.We can find courage and move with conscious awareness.This is a time when each individual does have an effect on the outcome of the whole. That is always the case, even if we feel powerless.And now — it's of particular importance for people to feel self-empowered. Yes, there's a lot of pushback or messaging that we are powerless… don't believe it!Work with pieces of Self, wherever you feel a weakness… because when I say this is a challenging week, we benefit to focus on creative energy.Think in terms of play…. where is the “give” in a situation that seems stuck? It might be time to garden, bake, sketch or exercise.When we step out of a situation, we might find ways to negotiate, speak, cajole, work with someone. Or it might be time to close that door and anticipate a new one.The week begins with a surprise and confrontation element that can throw us if we don't adapt. Outcomes that are unexpected, can be adjusted when we pay attention to how we react to the other person or situation. By the weekend fertile creativity is enhanced, but only when we “compost” any rubbish.Bottom line, potentials expand when we release attachment to grievances. This is a public episode.

The moon is in the sign of Cancer at this New Moon on July 5.Look at my website: InsightOasis.com to find practices for a new moon if you don't already have them. At the New Moon we amplify the potential when we wish for things, with an emphasis on concrete intentions.It's best to focus on no more than 3 concrete things that you're absolutely going to pay attention to this lunar cycle. Those intentions can be anything, but when they align with the theme of the sign, there is extra momentum.In the sign of Cancer, themes can be: how do you create home? What makes you feel safe? What's your sense of family? Are your needs being met? Do you take time to self-nurture?This new moon is basically well aspected for spiritual foundation and a sense of regeneration.

This week's waning moon cycle asks us to stay with routines that support steady direction. You don't need a concrete and absolute plan, but stay clear on the desired outcome. It is really valuable to look at whatever may be in your way. This is not necessarily the time to take action, but to clock and observe.You may not be able to push any blocks out of the way right now, but an important step is to recognize and validate.In time, this brings you to strategies on how you might be able to bypass any impasse or move through it.The weekend brings delicious juice for imagining, inventing, enjoying nature, music, the arts and dreams.

This week - those of us who are born with strong Mars and Pluto configurations in our horoscopes need to be self-aware… especially Mars oppose Pluto, or Mars square Pluto, or Mars conjunct Pluto. These are the hard or challenging aspects.If you or someone around you has any of those natal configurations, these days can present pressure cooker energy.So the best way to handle that, regardless of if you know what I'm talking about or you don't — is if you feel this within or notice someone around you is very frustrated or thwarted — then the last thing you want to do is add to that pressure.It helps to work with whatever is in the way or around whatever is in the way — DO NOT force!Force is the worst way to handle it.Pluto is the higher octave of Mars.Mars = libido, desire, assertion, aggression, anger.Pluto = power, force. Think of the pressure exerted on carbon within the womb of the earth to create a diamond. Pluto is ultimate transformation.And when the energies of Mars and Pluto are at odds with one another, we force things that don't want to be forced or cannot be forced. Unfortunately, people can hurt themselves or someone else because they are so convinced, driven or just blindsided that something must go a certain way.Yet, sometimes you have to go around something or wait, or you have to rethink what you had wanted the outcome to be.And that's the actual magic of the opening days of this week because change or the unexpected, presents possibility….but ONLY when we are not insistent or focused on doing it one way.Allow yourself adaptability. Remember to play and not take yourself too seriously. This is a public episode.
