Amidst a Virgo season of rapid change, this week we can build with intention and new awareness. The planetary patterns ask us to slow down just enough to recognize what deserves our devotion. Change may still be moving quickly around us, but the deeper invitation is not to match that speed. It is to become more deliberate and considerate of ourselves and others. In the wake of the Virgo New Moon, we may find we are confronted with small, thoughtful choices, but by making the

All’s quiet on the astrology front as the week begins, but a major reset is scheduled for the day of the New Moon, which is Thursday, September 10. The Moon spends most of Monday in playful, luxury-loving Leo. We find ourselves wanting to get ultimate enjoyment out of the holiday. But the Sun in discerning Virgo is sesquiquadrate wounded healer Chiron, so an undercurrent of needing to address things that need healing can put us or those around us on edge. On Wednesday, th

With the Pisces lunar eclipse fading in the rearview mirror, this week we get a chance to pause and look at the road ahead. echoes of both the lunar and previous solar eclipses are still impacting us. For all their power, these phenomena do not always deliver instant clarity; more often, they stir the waters then leave us to understand the meaning of what new course to take once the tide begins to settle. Which makes this first stretch of September feel less like a dramatic n

The final week of August carries the feeling of standing between two shores. Virgo Season has just begun, reminding us to return to the body, the calendar, the budget, the daily ritual, the honest conversation, and the small choices that quietly shape a life. But we are also in that cosmic pause time between eclipses. On August 28, the sky opens into something far less tidy: a deep partial lunar eclipse in Pisces, so close to total that nearly the entire Moon slips into Earth

We navigate the eclipse corridor this week, the two-week passage between the fire of a Leo Total Solar Eclipse on the 14th and the emotional release of an approaching Pisces Lunar Eclipse. It’s a time to embrace not knowing, what feels like a void, remaining vigilant, honest, and grounded. After last week’s Total Solar Eclipse in Leo stirred fresh beginnings, revelations, and creative awakenings, this week offers a threshold moment. Something has been activated, but its full

The Leo Eclipse Opens a Six-Month Doorway of Courage, Visibility, and Change August initiates a surge of celestial momentum, and the defining moment is the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo on August 12. Solar eclipses give us pause, a break from the usual pattern. And set new trajectories that take up to 6 months to realize. They often coincide with acceleration, revelation, and decisive beginnings. In Leo, the revolutionary impetus involves themes of confidence, creativity, lea

The first full week of August arrives like a slow, deep breath while watching a peaceful sunrise, welcome respite after the recent disorienting retrogrades of Mercury and Saturn. The skies are not exactly quiet, but we’re given space in which to pause, recalibrate, and notice where we are being invited to move with more intention. Monday dawns with the Moon in can-do Aries, forming helpful allies as the day unfolds. Confidence levels are high and we can make swift, positive

It’s a Full Moon week, and this one in Aquarius marks a turning point, with illuminating trends favouring accountability, awakening, and collective change. The final week of July arrives with the feeling of being poised at a threshold. Thanks to last week’s Barbault Basket, we had a stretch of mental recalibration and emotional reorientation. Now, the skies ask us to look honestly at what is ready to mature, what is ready to be released, and what kind of future we are will

Welcome to one of the most potent and possibility-filled weeks of July, replete with opportunities to dream bigger, face what has been holding us back, and embrace a brighter future with passion and courage. This week marks the culmination of the now-famous Barbault Basket, a highly rare alignment of the four outermost planets, holding tension and opportunity in the same charmed celestial configuration. It has the power to comfort, protect, and support a new way of living—bu

Cancer season is in full sway, brining an inward-looking week. The days ahead invite us to look beneath the surface of our ambitions and longings, where old dreams may be dissolving, new truths gathering strength, and the difference between avoidance and intuition becomes harder to ignore. Monday brings a sobering Sun-square-Saturn mood, the kind of energy that can make progress feel slower, responsibilities heavier, and obstacles harder to ignore. Yet it also offers a usef

An uber high energy week kicks off with an illuminating Full Moon and Mercury station, culminating with Mars activating a once-in-a-lifetime configuration. Monday’s Full Moon in Capricorn, exact at 7:57 p.m. EDT, shines a clarifying light on the crucial balancing act between outer responsibility and inner emotional need. Capricorn asks us to act with maturity, tend to our commitments, and take practical ownership of our work, goals, and public lives. Yet the Sun-in-Cancer s

Balmy astrological skies are predicted for this first week of summer in northern climes, time to celebrate light, growth, and abundance. We’re also now in Cancer season, a sign deeply rooted in motherhood, emotional safety, and (re)parenting. The coming weeks favour becoming more supportive and compassionate of the people we care about, with perhaps some left over for ourselves. At the same time, there’s an undercurrent of excitement as Mars winds up it’s plodding progres

New Moons are about fresh starts, and no sign is better at keeping it fresh than Gemini. A new lunar cycle in that sign began on Sunday, June 14, at 10:54 pm EDT when the Sun and Moon aligned at 24 degrees. Uranus is also in Gemini, ramping up a flair for communication and bringing new, even inspired ideas. A spirit of reinvention and curiosity prevails. We’ll likely want to get out and explore our immediate surroundings more and take steps to connect with others. Rebrand,

This week we enjoy a refreshing respite from long-term chaos and pressure, an easy, breezy time for those willing to see where wafts of intuition will take them. As I sat down to write this, I thought “this week feels almost normal.” I refer to what used to pass for normal, not what has been called the “new normal.” For the past 2 years plus, it has been a case of looking at the celestial influences with an eye to how do I not only make sense of them but frame it all in a w

First full week of blithe butterfly Gemini season! A waft of lighter, breezily social and communicative energy buoys our spirits. Though the leadup to Sunday’s Blue Moon could bring an underlying sense of dancing on the sword’s edge, we’re able to nimbly learn new choreography and solutions. The dichotomy is apparent as the week begins. The Moon is in graceful Libra for most of the first three days, harmoniously adding charm and willingness to connect to Gemini’s chatty, “t

Gemini season gets off to a rousing start brimming with potential innovation and inspiration, where our most random or far-fetched ideas can have legs, if we can manage to cultivate patience and perseverance. The latter will be easier starting on Monday. Mars moves through Taurus, inviting a steadier, more grounded pace. Until June 28, we may feel calmer, more patient, and less likely to react on impulse. Instead of chasing novelty and rushing to start something brand new a

The poem Desiderata by Max Ehrmann (so a cliché in the 1970s) enjoins us to “go placidly amongst the noise and haste.” In the leadup to Saturday’s New Moon in steady, stable Taurus, that advice feels just right, bringing welcome respite among global chaos and crisis. The week kicks off with the Moon in Pisces adding a nourishing sprinkle of water to the earth sign of the Bull. Mercury is also in the latter sign, on Monday making a semisquare to Neptune. Logic may fail us n

A post-Full Moon sigh of relief leads to a breath of fresh air and a chance to get back to basics as we revel in the simple pleasures of Taurus season. Uranus continues to wend its way through Gemini, sparking curiosity and new ideas. Sometimes this leads to mental agitation and burnout. And there could be deep emotional undercurrents, thanks to Pluto’s impending retrograde. But Mercury, planet of thinking, is in Taurus, helping us to slow down and focus on what’s really im

This week’s spring chapeau might best be a thinking cap as we head into the first full week of Uranus in Gemini. The side-spinning planet of rebellion and reform previously spent seven years chafing in Taurus, which wanted it to slow down, be stable and endure. Now the impulsive planet of invention is in the ever-curious and improvisational sign of Gemini, a match made in heaven. That plus Mercury going full-bore forward makes ideas and communications fly. And with Mars havi

It feels like “hurry up and wait” early this week thanks to Saturn, but trends soon bring a refreshing breath of fresh cosmic air as Uranus shifts into Gemini. It’s the first full week of Taurus season, that blissful time when we’re invited to slow the pace and take time to smell the daffodils. Previously, a planetary pileup in Aries brought dynamic, fiery energy, making us more spontaneous and impulsive. The Bull is about experiencing life’s simple pleasures. And doing so
