it's the final friday of venus retrograde & babes, i'm NOT feeling GOOD, but coming on this mic is fun for me so we continue. We get into: the grief of the full moon in Libra, the firy fury of this coming week, the return of mars in leo, victim complexes, proudly suffering, and as a treat: the astrology of the nyc mayoral primary.this is the final episode of the off season! please say hi if you've been listening. i'll be back soon with the real season 2.xoWRITINGFOLLOW JAIMEWEBSITE - BOOK A READING!
it's been a long week. that solar eclipse knocked me out. how about you? we get into: the end of mercury retrograde, messages from my high school drama teacher, the astrology of Cory Booker's history making speech on the senate floor, and why Mike White (The White Lotus) can't catch a break in the press.
the solar eclipse in aries is here (the end of an era). then neptune moves into aries (the beginning of an era). we're talking about deal or no deal island's season 2 finale (yes i'm not kidding) as an illustration of neptune's shift from pisces into aries, and how to channel a higher power ourselves.WRITINGFOLLOW JAIMEWEBSITE - BOOK A READING!(an interview with David Genat on Parvati Shallow's podcast that really gets into the spiritual inklings and mechanisms behind his win.)
Venus retrograde goes into the heart of the sun this week. Mercury retrograde goes into the heart of the sun too. The halfway point (and climax) of both reflection periods brings inspiration and probably some frustration. But really: we're talking about March's four (!) void-of-course moons, and the power of letting go. Be careful what you initiate because it just might end!WRITINGFOLLOW JAIMEWEBSITE - BOOK A READING!
how are you doing after the lunar eclipse in virgo? we're talking astrological implications for the us government shutdown, chuck schumer's dad band desires, virgo and pisces as service providers, and chappell roan as poet laureate.SUBSTACKINSTAGRAMWEBSITE - BOOK A READING!

It's a First Quarter Moon week so it's time to make decisions. Mercury is still retrograde and reaching a very resolute cazimi. We also have 2 aspects that alone would make a banner week but are happening at the same time: Mars conjunct Jupiter and then Mars square Saturn. This is a pivotal time! Remember: it's ok to change your mind. ❀ Jaime: @jaimeallycewright ❀ Subscribe on Substack ❀ Book a reading
Mercury stations retrograde on August 5. Common advice is that one shouldn't initiate anything while Mercury is retrograde, but I want to question this narrative. Is having a job or a relationship where "check ins" are necessary really such a bad thing? This week is a divine pause before the rest of August gets pretty messy. What's the dream? What isn't the dream? ❀ Jaime: @jaimeallycewright ❀ Subscribe on Substack ❀ Book a reading

The week begins with a bang and ends with a Full Moon in Capricorn that feels heavy like the crown. Brace for impact. It's going to feel raw. We get into: the United States Pluto Return's last gasps, Mars on Algol and wild women, the "Make It Work!" (-Tim Gunn) vibes coming in August; Mars in Gemini as a much needed re-do; and cinematic endings.

It's the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. Time to start a revolution. Last week's New Moon in Cancer was super dreamy and hopeful, and now it's time to set intentions with that same imaginative intent. Something bigger is brewing under the surface though.

Saturn is stationing retrograde which means we've got that giant ringed planet who's all about boundaries playing in surround sound. As I'm typing this description, I'm realizing that I forgot to wax poetic about Penn Badgley's Saturn revelations in a recent interview with Ariana Grande. Watch the clip here. He is def an astrology girlie. This week is kind of intense, but also really delightful and romantic.

Happy New Moon in Gemini. We get into: a pileup of planets in Gemini turning what would be a sleepy new moon week into an inspiration station caffeine buzz (that is until Saturn brings the post-allnighter crash vibes); Venus cazimis and reflections from 2016 and 2020; and Mars in Taurus' inconsistent but powerful energy.

The long-awaited Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus is here. Sustainability and repair to the front. The vibe is: less self portrait collages and more communal recycling.

It's an easy, spacy week, but don't let the low key vibes fool you because we're heading into Eclipse season.

It's a New Moon in Pisces this week. The common understanding of New Moons is that they're for setting intentions and planting seeds, but lunations are just as much an ending as they are a beginning. This week's New Moon feels like an ending, Exit Music (For A Film) if you're nasty. We also get into: the 11th hour dramatics of Mars squaring Uranus as Mercury enters Aries, and the anti-productivity of Mercury conjunct Neptune that defines this week. Jaime: @jaimeallycewright Subscribe to my Substack Book a reading It's my birthday this week, and if you want to send me something special, you can buy me a drink (Venmo: @Jaime-Wright) or surprise me with a Cameo from Coach Ben Wade the Dragon Slayer (not a joke).

Happy Pisces season!

Things are already strange, and this week, they get stranger. We get into: when to be productive vs. when to relax vs. when to go to the sauna (lol, so many days for sauna, that is clearly on my mind); Valentine's Day is hot and bothered this year; Mars in Aquarius' non-linear long term plans; Venus in Aquarius as a peak romantic; first day of Pisces season as Stepsister from Planet Weird (2000): a movie I loved as a child, but it becomes clear here I don't remember the plot.

Weekly forecast starts at 8:30, before that you get some *personal* *transit* *updates* from moi.

Happy New Year! This week is a real whirlwind. We get into: creative potentials, romantic hangovers, the eclipse-y vibes of the New Moon in Capricorn, the differences between birthing an adult child and an actual baby (metaphorically that is), and what a season of Survivor from 2010 (my only real reference these days!!!) can teach us about pushing too hard right out the gate. Jaime Wright: @jaimeallycewright moon missives
Happy New Year! The first week of 2024 is slow and steady. We get into: how starting something new requires actually closing the door on that last chapter, Venus square Saturn as a bummer for love but great news for skincare, and the charisma of Mars in Capricorn.

It's the final forecast of 2023!

Jaime Wright: @jaimeallycewright moon missives become a paid subscriber
It's Venus in Scorpio time. We might think of Venus in Scorpio as the epitome of dramatic mood swings, and over the top sexy emotional lyricism (a la Canadian rapper Aubrey Graham), but I found in my research that it's really just the placement of pretty much every famous film director of the 20th Century. This is a very Venusian week. Great for reflecting on 2023 and thinking about what you want in 2024. Jaime Wright: @jaimeallycewright Read moon missives Become a paid subscriber
Holy Full Moon in Gemini. This week's Full Moon is chaotic, confusing and not at all subtle. After the chaos comes clarity though. We get into: Venus conjunct the south node's implications for making perfect pop songs straight out of the womb, Mercury in Capricorn as the "How Do You Do Fellow Kids?" meme; and this week's intense Venusian aspects as opportunities for compromise and peace.
