We are now in the shadow of the March 3 Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, and the emotional build-up has begun.Mercury retrograde in Pisces invites us to revisit old conversations, unresolved feelings, and the places where we may have sacrificed peace for perfection. As Venus joins Mercury in these watery realms, themes of compassion, forgiveness, and relational repair rise to the surface.Meanwhile, Mars square Uranus can bring flashes of impatience or sudden desire for freedom. Where have we been over-functioning? Where are we tired of holding everything together?This Virgo Lunar Eclipse is about completion — especially around responsibility, service, health, and control. In Human Design, the Sun in Gate 37 (Peace) and the Earth in Gate 40 (Restoration) remind us that true harmony requires fair agreements, boundaries, and rest.This week isn't loud — but it is revealing.Let's explore what is completing, what is unsustainable, and how to move toward restoration rather than reaction.
✨ Welcome to your #cosmicweatherreport for the week ahead.
The New Moon in Capricorn is helping you set some intentions for how to you want to show up in the world right now. With all the chaos it's important to lock in on how you want to take care of yourself so you can continue to show up for yourself, your family, your community. Right now the planets are clustered together moving like cars on a train from late Capricorn to early Aquarius. They're making the same transits to the same outer planets. This energetic bottleneck is forcing us to focus on just 1-2 things. It's a powerful way to "dictate your fate," as the choices and changes you make today will likely have long standing impact. Fortunately, the shift from Capricorn to Aquarius helps us take in the big picture view. Capricorn likes to build and maintain the structures and norms. Aquarius likes to ask if those structures are necessary and how can they be improved? In a way this moment in a microcosm of the 20 year cycle that began in 2020 when Jupiter met Saturn at 0° Aquarius. The most notable of the transits this week are the conjunctions with Pluto. As Venus, Mercury, the Sun, and Mars join with the planet of power and transformation our survival instincts will be kicked up. How do you respond when it really matters? How do you engage when things are uncertain or even frightening? It might seem easier to just be passive and hope this moment will be over soon, but we're not living through ordinary times. It's easier to lock into the support systems you know you will need now, then to try to create them once Saturn and Neptune enter Aries. We're not getting off this ride until 2028, so what do you need to put in place now to be safe, secure, and capable of showing up in the way that you are meant to show up in the world.

Morning Ritual Series: starts 5th January: https://www.kirstygallagher.com/morning-ritual-series-2026✨ Welcome to your #cosmicweatherreport for the week ahead.

This is a quieter week and that feels deeply appropriate. Across many spiritual and faith traditions, this is a time of holy pause—a moment when outer striving softens and inner meaning comes forward.Rather than dramatic turning points, the sky invites integration:What has been learned this year?What is ready to be carried forward with greater maturity, honesty, and care?Tuesday, December 23: Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune in PiscesThis is a tender, permeable alignment—beautiful, but not always clear.Venus in Sagittarius seeks truth, meaning, and heartfelt enthusiasm.Neptune in Pisces dissolves boundaries, blurs edges, and opens us to longing, devotion, and compassion.Notice where idealism slips into projection—or where longing replaces discernment.This can show up as:Romanticizing a path, a belief, or a relationshipFeeling disoriented about values or directionConfusing spiritual yearning with actual alignmentThis aspect also opens deep compassion, poetic sensitivity, and soulful listening—especially when we resist the urge to decide too quickly. Let your values be informed by both heart and grounded truth.Reflection Question:Where am I being invited to soften my certainty without abandoning my discernment?Wednesday, December 24: Venus enters Capricorn (until January 17)As Venus moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn, the tone of relating and valuing changes noticeably. Capricorn is the sign of commitment, integrity and long-term responsibilityHere, love becomes less about possibility and more about presence.Values are no longer theoretical—they want to be lived.This is not cold or restrictive energy; it is maturing energy.Venus in Capricorn asks:What do I truly stand for?What am I willing to tend over time?What relationships, projects, and devotions are worth the effort?Choose what you are willing to build—not just what inspires you.Reflection Question:What values am I ready to embody more fully as we enter the new year?Saturday, December 27: Mercury in Sagittarius trine Chiron in AriesThis is a quietly powerful aspect—especially for reflection, conversation, and integration.Mercury in Sagittarius speaks in big-picture language: truth, meaning, and perspective. Chiron in Aries holds wounds around identity, courage, and the right to exist as oneself.Their harmonious trine supports:Healing conversationsReframing old narratives about who you areSpeaking truths that restore confidence rather than inflame painThis is not about fixing wounds—it's about finding language that honors the journey. Words can become medicine here, especially when they arise from lived experience rather than theory. Let your story carry wisdom, not self-judgment.Reflection Question:What truth am I now able to speak about myself that once felt too tender or risky?This is not a week for pushing forward. It's a week for listening, tending, and integrating. Let faith—however you define it—be something you inhabit, not perform.Podcast poem: Daybreak by Galway KinnellSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

If you've been feeling like November has been one challenge after another, take a deep breath - relief is coming. This week brings not one but TWO major planetary shifts that will help you find resolution, clarity, and forward momentum.The Big News: Planets Going DirectSaturn Goes Direct - November 27thSaturn has been retrograde in Pisces, asking us to review our systems, structures, and karmic contracts. When it stations direct on Thursday, you'll start to feel things clicking into place. This is the last time Saturn will be in Pisces for 30 years, so we're wrapping up major lessons around:* What “home” and belonging mean to you* Your relationship with systems and authority* Spiritual structure and boundaries* The Great Reveal (more on this below)Mercury Goes Direct - November 29thThe retrograde that brought us broken pipes, communication mishaps, and technological chaos finally ends this weekend! You'll notice:* Conversations becoming clearer* Travel and transportation smoothing out* Technology cooperating again* Financial clarity (check those credit card statements!)* Relationship misunderstandings resolvingThe complete Mercury retrograde cycle finishes December 16th, but you'll feel relief starting now.The Blessing: Grand Trine in WaterThroughout this Mercury retrograde, we've had a beautiful Grand Trine in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) supporting us. This cosmic blessing has been helping things come together easily, even when challenges arise.Think of it like this: Yes, you might have had a broken pipe (hello, Mercury retrograde in Scorpio - a water sign!), but somehow the plumber was available same-day. The universe has been gifting you exactly what you need to get through this.The Grand Trine involves:* Jupiter in Cancer (24°) - expansion of home and emotional security* Venus/Mercury in Scorpio (22-24°) - transformation in relationships and resources* Saturn/Neptune in Pisces (25-29°) - spiritual structure and the Great RevealIf you have placements at 22-29 degrees in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), you're feeling this support strongly.The Great Reveal ContinuesAll year, Saturn and Neptune have been dancing together in Pisces, creating what I call “The Great Reveal.” Every time Saturn moves away from Neptune, something hidden comes to light. We're seeing this publicly (hello, Epstein files), but it's also happening in your personal life. What truths are being revealed to you? What systems or structures in your life are showing their real nature?Saturn going direct means we'll see more revelations in the coming weeks, though the complete truth won't emerge until February-March 2026 when Saturn moves into Aries.Mars at the CrossroadsMars is squaring the North and South Nodes this week, putting you at a crossroads. You're being asked to:* Take action toward your future (North Node in Pisces)* Release what no longer serves you (South Node in Virgo)* Trust your spiritual path* Make bold moves in the direction of your dreamsThis isn't comfortable energy, but it's necessary for growth. As Bright Hawk reminded us in meditation: “The universe is unfolding exactly as it should.”Daily BreakdownMonday: Moon in Capricorn creates a T-square with Jupiter and Chiron. Healing energy rises to the surface. It may be uncomfortable, but embrace the opportunity to heal.Tuesday: Moon moves into Aquarius. Venus and Mercury dance in Scorpio - review your finances and relationships. Clear communication about money and values.Wednesday: The Grand Trine peaks at 24 degrees. Things flow easily. Trust the process.Thursday: Saturn goes direct! Resolution begins. Systems start working again. The Great Reveal shifts into a new phase.Friday-Sunday: Mercury goes direct over the weekend. You'll feel the shift - like puzzle pieces finally fitting together. Relief, clarity, and forward momentum return.Tarot Guidance for the WeekPast: The Chariot - You've been making important choices, especially around travel and directionPresent: Knight of Pentacles - Move forward with strength and protection, nurturing your creations and using your resources wiselyFuture: The Moon - Trust your intuition! Emotional balance, mothering energy, and psychic gifts are coming to the forefrontYour Action Steps* Review your finances - Check credit card statements for overcharges (very Mercury retrograde in Scorpio!)* Trust the process - Notice how the universe has been supporting you, even through challenges* Listen to your intuition - Especially as Saturn goes direct, your inner knowing is activated* Take action - Mars at the crossroads demands movement toward your future* Practice gratitude - Acknowledge the gifts and blessings that have shown up during this intense time♈ Aries (March 21 - April 19)Things are finally moving forward, Aries! After weeks of reviewing and editing during Mercury retrograde, you're finding answers—especially around other people's money, taboo topics, and parts of yourself you've been uncomfortable exploring.This week's focus: Resolution around shared resources, intimacy, and transformation. The universe is preparing you for Saturn and Neptune's upcoming transits to Aries.Action step: Embrace the gifts and resolutions being presented. The universe is helping you resolve problems with as much ease as possible.♉ Taurus (April 20 - May 20)Mercury retrograde in your house of relationships is finally complete, Taurus. Karmic contracts and relationship patterns are being revealed this week—information that will help you either let go or move forward.This week's focus: Relationship clarity and understanding soul contracts. Mars is pushing you to take action, especially around daily life and shadow work.Action step: Don't resist the direction you're being pushed. You need to see where you're headed before you can take off, and this week provides that vision.♊ Gemini (May 21 - June 20)Your day-to-day life and health matters are finding resolution, Gemini. Whether it's been about getting too busy, health concerns, or workplace dynamics, you're finally seeing your way through.This week's focus: Health improvements, daily routine adjustments, and understanding who influences you (coworkers, friends, systems).Action step: Trust the health changes and daily adjustments you're making. By Saturday, with Mercury and Saturn direct and the moon in Pisces, you'll find deep peace and know you're headed in the right direction.♋ Cancer (June 21 - July 22)Mercury going direct in your fifth house brings joy back into your life, Cancer! Issues around children, romantic partners, creative projects, or simply having fun are resolving beautifully.This week's focus: Rediscovering joy, improving relationships with children, and finding balance between work and pleasure.Action step: You've been working hard—it's time to have a good time! Something great may happen at work that creates more ease, and you'll finally be able to tap into that fifth house joy you've been missing.♌ Leo (July 23 - August 22)Home, family of origin, parents, and childhood matters are finding resolution, Leo. As Mercury goes direct in your fourth house and Saturn goes direct in your ninth house, you're experiencing shifts in both domestic life and higher thinking.This week's focus: Home resolution and spiritual/educational awakening. Legal matters may also shift positively.Action step: You'll see the resolution on the horizon this week, with real shifts manifesting by the weekend. The awakening in your ninth house will unfold over the coming weeks, but you'll feel the direction change now.♍ Virgo (August 23 - September 22)As a Mercury-ruled sign, you feel this retrograde intensely, Virgo! Mercury going direct in your third house brings relief around communication, siblings, neighbors, and community matters.This week's focus: Community communication, sibling relationships, and resolving taboo topics (eighth house Saturn themes around shared resources).Action step: By the weekend, you'll feel like you know where you're going. The South Node in Virgo has required you to shed many skins this year—the action you take at home this week sets you on the right path toward building relationships and manifesting your future.♎ Libra (September 23 - October 22)Money matters are finally finding resolution, Libra! Mercury retrograde in your second house has been intense around finances, spending, earning, and possibly other people's money too.This week's focus: Financial clarity and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Work and daily life (sixth house Saturn) are also shifting.Action step: Don't overspend or sabotage yourself now. Jupiter retrograde means full resolution won't come until March, but you can finally see the goal from here. Issues from before Mercury retrograde may resurface for final resolution—especially around home and patriotism themes.♏ Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)This Mercury retrograde happened right in your sign, Scorpio—an intense experience around identity, how others see you, relationships, and even your relationship with fun.This week's focus: Understanding who you are, who you want to be, and trusting your intuition. Fifth house Saturn brings resolution around children, romance, and creativity.Action step: Trust the universe, trust your gut, trust the divine direction. By Saturday, you'll feel like yourself again as the intensity lifts. Everything you need to resolve these problems will show up—just trust.♐ Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)Mercury retrograde in your twelfth house has brought unseen matters to light—things around hidden communities, psychic abilities, self-sabotage, or situations that seemed to come out of nowhere.This week's focus: Resolution of hidden matters and recognizing self-sabotage patterns. Your psychic abilities may feel more accurate as Mercury goes direct.Action step: Be careful with money Saturday/Sunday (Venus in twelfth house opposite Uranus could bring surprise expenses). As Venus enters your sign and the sun continues through Sagittarius, you'll feel more yourself every day. By week's end, you'll feel put back together.♑ Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)Mercury retrograde in your eleventh house around friends, coworkers, teachers, landlords, and people with power over you is finally resolving, Capricorn.This week's focus: Better positioning with influential people and improved communication (Saturn direct in your third house).Action step: As a Saturn-ruled sign, you'll be one of the first to feel Saturn going direct—you'll feel more like yourself, more at home in your communication and emotions. The “great reveal” with Saturn and Neptune continues to teach you lessons about relationships through March.♒ Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)This Mercury retrograde has brought spiritual awakening around work, what you present to the world, and how you make and spend money, Aquarius.This week's focus: Shifts in work perspective and approach. Emotional shifts around your career that will eventually improve your financial situation.Action step: First comes the shift at work (in how you behave or perceive things), then comes the shift in money. This emotional transformation during Mercury retrograde is settling you into a new future. Trust the process.♓ Pisces (February 19 - March 20)With the North Node in your sign, you're manifesting your life powerfully, Pisces! Mercury going direct in your ninth house brings resolution around higher education, awakening, and legal matters.This week's focus: Emotional shifts and powerful perception changes. Learning to ride the waves rather than feeling like a wet blanket.Action step: Embrace the emotional shifts you've made—don't drink or party them away. These changes are vital to your future. Saturn in your sign is moving you forward slowly and steadily (chugga, chugga, chugga!). The perception shift from this Mercury retrograde will change everything about you. This is a public episode.

This week pulses with strong Mars energy—action, will, courage, and the drive to live from truth. Mars connects with several outer planets, activating an alchemical dance between personal intention and larger evolutionary forces. The Taurus Full Moon and Uranus' re-entry into Taurus turn your attention to what stability and security really mean in these times of change. Courage now looks like grounded authenticity.Monday, November 3: Mars in Scorpio trines Neptune in PiscesYour actions align with inspiration and compassion. Intuition and imagination help you sense what's ready to move from the invisible into form. Trust your instincts and allow mystery to inform your choices.Tuesday, November 4: Mars enters Sagittarius and opposes Uranus in GeminiEnergy surges toward exploration and truth-telling. You may feel restless or impatient with restrictions. Sudden revelations could shake loose old patterns. Channel the fire into liberated, creative action instead of rebellion for its own sake. Wednesday, November 5: Full Moon at 13° Taurus at 5:19 am PacificIllumination rises around embodiment, resources, and self-worth. What grounds you in a changing world? What values sustain your aliveness? Release attachment to false security and return to the wisdom of the body.Thursday, November 6: Mars in Sagittarius sextiles Pluto in Aquarius; Venus enters ScorpioFocused action supports deep transformation. You can move mountains when your intent aligns with soul purpose. As Venus dives into Scorpio, relationships and finances invite depth and truth. Surface appearances no longer satisfy.Friday, November 7: Uranus re-enters Taurus; Venus in Scorpio squares Pluto in AquariusA potent threshold day. Uranus' return to Taurus (where it first entered in 2018) reawakens the long cycle of revolutionizing your relationship with the Earth, body, and material stability. Venus squaring Pluto stirs relational intensity and evolutionary growth through tension. Sunday, November 9: Mercury turns retrograde at 7° Sagittarius (until Nov. 29)Mercury begins its retrograde journey from Sagittarius back into Scorpio later in the month—an invitation to review beliefs, messages, and inner truth. The first part of this cycle (in Sagittarius) helps you reexamine the stories you've been telling yourself about purpose, meaning, and direction. As Mercury retraces its steps into Scorpio, the focus deepens—what hidden emotions, fears, or power dynamics shape those stories?This retrograde offers a potent opportunity to slow down and align thought with soul. Old certainties can soften into wisdom when you let curiosity lead the way. Let your intuition and dreams reveal what the rational mind has overlooked.Reflection Questions for the Week:Where is courage asking you to act with integrity rather than urgency?How does your body reveal what's truly valuable and sustainable?What beliefs about safety, freedom, or truth are being revolutionized as Uranus returns to Taurus?Podcast poem: Where to Now by Mark NepoSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

As Venus enters the sign of Gemini today it's a beautiful invitation to explore one of my favorite Gemini qualities: curiosity.Curiosity and sensuality go hand in hand.We all know the saying "Curiosity killed the cat."I want to offer a reframe on that: "Curiosity awakens the pussy."To be curious is to be open, present and in flow.It requires self trust and trust in life.To be curious is to be willing to explore what feels good and nourishing.And to pass on what doesn't.When our curiosity is shut down, our life force and pleasure are shut down.When we expand our curiosity we expand our pleasure and our love.Let's dive in.Dive Deeper:Learn more about my Goddess School The Vital Goddess MastermindJoin my free resource library The Goddess Vault

What if the key to deeper relationships isn't consistency, but curiosity? As Venus moves through Gemini, we're invited to explore a different kind of love—one that thrives on questions, conversations, and the beautiful unpredictability of truly knowing someone. This transit asks us to embrace the many facets of our partners, friends, and even ourselves.

The Full Moon reaches its peak at the end of Libra, in the lunar mansion Viśākhā. This lunar mansion spans Libra and Scorpio, blending the softness of Venus with the intensity of Mars. Its name, meaning "two-branched," symbolises choice and duality—often linked to Libra's scales. In the Vedic tradition, Viśākhā is also symbolised by a decorated archway, representing milestones and commitment.Viśākhā inspires willpower, ambition, and the courage to pursue our goals. While it supports focused determination, it also allows for compromise. Ruled by Agni (fire) and Indra (king of the gods), it carries strong spiritual and transformative energy.This Full Moon is ideal for spiritual practice, healing, and committing to a clear path. With the Sun exalted in Aries, decision-making is bold and confident, even if clarity takes time. Venus, also exalted in Pisces, encourages acceptance and helps us release what no longer serves us, especially as it moves past the recent eclipse degree.As Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter align opposite the Moon, this lunation brings resolution and optimism, making it easier to choose a path and feel good about it.

Send us a textCosmic currents shift dramatically this April as we emerge from eclipse season into a month of planetary rebalancing. The celestial landscape unfolds in two distinct acts – first dominated by Piscean waters processing eclipse fallout, then ignited by fiery Aries and grounded by earthy Taurus as we step into fresh terrain.Early April continues the introspective mood while retrograde Venus makes significant connections with the North Node and Saturn in Pisces. These powerful alignments reveal karmic patterns in relationships and demand reassessment of where we're investing our emotional energy. Venus retrograde conjuncting the North Node (April 3rd) opens doorways to align with soul purpose, while its conjunction with Saturn (April 7th) forces us to establish boundaries in relationships that may feel obligatory or draining.Mercury stationing direct on April 7th marks a pivotal turning point when mental fog begins lifting, allowing greater clarity around insights received during retrograde. This clarity perfectly times with the Libra Full Moon on April 12th illuminating relationship dynamics and calling for balance between self-assertion and compromise. With Venus also stationing direct that day, relationships gain momentum after weeks of reevaluation.The month accelerates dramatically mid-April with Mars entering Leo (April 18th), unleashing passionate, confident energy after months in emotionally cautious Cancer. This fiery placement emboldens personal expression and could manifest as increased activism on collective levels. The Sun entering Taurus (April 19th) brings welcome grounding, inviting connection with the physical world and attention to material concerns.April concludes with the powerful Taurus New Moon (April 27th), perfect for setting intentions around financial stability and abundance. The Sabian symbol for this lunation – "a sleigh on land uncovered by snow" – emphasizes preparation and foresight, particularly regarding financial security in uncertain times. As Venus finally enters Aries (April 30th), our approach to relationships becomes more direct and passionate.Whether you're curious about collective trends or seeking personal guidance, tune in for detailed zodiac forecasts covering how these transits will impact your sign specifically.

The year begins with intense energy due to Pluto's exact opposition to Mars and Rahu's influence from Pisces. This amplifies and drains Mars' energy, potentially triggering explosive events or burying issues deeper as retrograde Mars retraces its steps. In the first two days, the Moon joins Pluto, acting as a catalyst, whether outwardly or internally. Mars retrograde in Cancer, aspected by Rahu, with Neptune, adds confusion and misinformation. Mid-January sees the Sun entering Capricorn to conjoin Pluto and oppose Mars, shining a spotlight. By January 21, Mars retrogrades into Gemini, redirecting energy toward unresolved issues from late 2024. As Venus meets Saturn in Aquarius and the Sun moves into Capricorn, a shift occurs toward practical reflection, replacing unrealistic resolutions with grounded intentions. Mercury's transition from Scorpio to Sagittarius introduces optimism once it moves beyond Saturn's influence. Venus enters Pisces by the end of the month, fostering optimism but risking self-deception with its conjunction with Rahu and Neptune. Finally, Uranus stations direct at Aries' final degree, signalling the start of a new phase in initiating projects.
This week, a major shift as Pluto leaves Capricorn for the final time and enters Aquarius for 19 years. The Sun enters its hopeful Sagittarius season; its aspects to Neptune and Pluto highlight harmony, healing, and letting go. Mercury opposes Jupiter, so double-check holiday travel plans. As Venus sextiles Saturn, appreciate your mentors and validate those whom you mentor. The Virgo Last Quarter Moon emphasizes purity of purpose and standing up to stormy waves. And a mini-lesson from last year about what Pluto's ingress into Aquarius might mean for us in the coming decades. Plus: Gnarly commutes, tearing out drywall, and harmony is not Pluto's job.

This Full Moon in Aquarius will get you thinking forward and contemplating supporting groups and causes you care about. A square to Uranus adds a restlessness and a rebellious nature to this Full Moon. Mercury stations direct later in August, bringing an end to Mercury retrograde and giving you a chance to get back on track with delayed plans or bring the possibility of second chances and resolution to an unfinished matter. Venus enters Libra and stays here for four weeks, bringing sweet relief and improvement to interpersonal matters. Venus in Libra will give a boost to the ‘Venus things' in your life. As Venus approaches the South Node early in September, you may want to think about a relationship habit that you would like to change.

Mercury slows to start its retrograde in the first week of August, opposite Saturn, which is already retrograde in Aquarius. With Mars forming a square to Mercury, we will likely feel tension from these turnarounds. We may be turning a corner but not the one we expected. It may feel like we're moving backwards through something we'd rather leave behind. As Venus moves through Leo opposite Saturn, we might not feel good about what we must do, or because we're prevented from doing what we want. Mars amplifies its influence on Venus in Leo, making us feel more passionate about what we do. With Saturn's strong presence and aspect to planets lining up in opposition, we must consider the consequences of any of our actions. The Sun's entry into Leo by mid-month boosts our confidence despite Saturn. Yet such confidence is hard won, earned through a lot of hard work and initial self-doubt. We must adapt to the changing landscape and keep moving forward despite the retrogrades and oppositions. Venus then slips uncomfortably into Virgo, where we're likely to find ourselves complaining, possibly about what others are doing - or perhaps about what they're not doing we think they should. Mercury's backtracking into Cancer complicates Venus' transit through Virgo, especially as Venus is conjoined Ketu. Before the fall, there's one last blowout in August as Venus transits Leo. This is likely enjoyable but frustrating, especially around travel plans and everyday life. The mood is likely to then drop by the end of the month as Venus enters Virgo. August is far from business as usual (Mercury retrograde and Venus debilitated) and may lead to economic challenges, especially as Venus and Ketu align. I hesitate to predict financial catastrophe, as Saturn's strength in Aquarius may keep things stable enough. Yet we might still see significant challenges ahead. Certainly, the mood begins to drop in line with the fall of Venus. Have a time-out with Mercury retrograde in August if you can, and enjoy Venus in Leo as it reappears in our evening skies and puts on an entertaining show.
As Venus and Mars transit into the Signs that they rule, Taurus (Venus) and Aries (Mars), Pluto also begins its Retrograde transit through Aquarius. We take a historical look at the recent Jupiter and Uranus Conjunction in Taurus, which is still resonating its power.

With Venus ending her Retrograde cycle, Mercury while still in Retrograde will be making an interesting link with Jupiter, and Jupiter is going Retrograde.

Now that it goes direct, we are encouraged to ask ourselves "Are you living your life in accordance with your values?" and make decisions based on your answers.As Venus starts to move forward, the results of all the introspection and re-evaluation we did in the past forty days can make manifesting easier once you have clarity about what you want and the life you want. Begin to ask yourself what really matters to you and begin to take inspired action.During the Venus Direct, ask yourself:Are you honoring what matters most to you?A trine is a harmonious alignment and this week we are seeing a beautiful trine with Mercury and Jupiter right as Venus ends her Retrograde. Mercury is the planet of communications and Jupiter is the planet of expansion and optimism - together, they enhance positive thinking.

This is your Horoscope Highlight for the week of July 17th - 22nd, 2023, with world-class astrologer, historian, and author of The Cosmic Calendar, Christopher Renstrom.In this episode, Christopher delves into the intriguing phenomenon of Venus Retrograde. As Venus turns retrograde in the Zodiac sign of Leo, it creates an optical illusion of moving backwards in the sky. This event, often viewed with anxiety by astrologers, is believed to cause planets to act contrary to their true nature. Join us as we explore the implications of this astrological event and its impact on your Zodiac sign.
Venus journeys through Leo for 4 months in 2023 due to her retrograde from July 22 to Sept 4, and she will have many significant aspects to other planets that will bring about changes, evolution, and release in money, relationships, friendships, creativity, and your heart's desires. Venus in Leo highlights how you love and accept yourself – self-worth, creativity, personal expressions, confidence, strength – and how those qualities create what you want and desire in your world. As Venus moves through Leo, she will have notable interactions with all outer planets, which will require her to receive their influence, and let go of her expectations as her evolutionary process is going to involve many messages. This podcast provides an overview of the energetic dance Venus in Leo will encounter, including how she is reprogramming her own standards and connecting to more of your authentic needs.

This is the final critical point in a Sun-Uranus cycle that began on May 5, 2022 when they conjoined at 14°47' Taurus. This cycle describes where we're trying to walk the fine line between having a strong sense of who we are while also being prepared to make changes. [6:37] On February 4, Venus squares Mars (7:29 PM PST) at 11°14' of Pisces and Gemini. The Sabian symbol for Venus, 12 Pisces, is An examination of initiates. The Sabian symbol for Mars is 12 Gemini, A slave girl demands her rights of her mistress. [8:26] Venus and Mars conjoined on February 16, 2022. They squared each other on September 16, 2022 and made an opposition on November 30, 2022. This is the final square of this Venus-Mars cycle, much like the Sun-Uranus configuration on February 3. Will we let others decide our worth or stand up for what we believe we deserve? [9:55] Moon Report! The Full Moon in Leeeeeeoooooo will occur on February 5 at 10:28 AM PST with the Moon at 15°40' Leo and the Sun at 15°40 Aquarius.

[13:12] The Sun in Aquarius and Full Moon in Leo are both square Uranus, forming a T-square configuration. Last week's First Quarter Moon in Taurus was conjunct Uranus and this week's Sun is square to Uranus and is approaching Saturn. Tension is plentiful at this time. [14:56] This is the Full Moon in a Lunar Phase Family that began with a New Moon on August 8, 2021 at 16°14' Leo. In that New Moon chart, the Sun and Moon were opposed Saturn and square Uranus. It's time to get out there and begin showing our joyful, creative Uranian selves, but don't forget those Saturnian boundaries. [16:47] Void-of-Course Moon periods (VOC). On February 1, the Moon in Gemini makes a trine aspect to Saturn at 3:58 AM PST. It's VOC for a little over 8 hours (!!!) before it enters Cancer at 12:11 PM.

It's VOC for just about two and a half hours before it enters Leeeeeoooooo on February 4 at 00:48 AM Pacific Time. Be humble, do some journaling, and don't take on other people's stuff.

However, it is also important to be mindful of people pleasing, bending over backwards, or being deceived by a partner.
