“Thank you so much for your absolutely brilliant reading. Your reading has given me the most helpful and healing insight into my complex and challenging relationship with my husband. This was much more than I was expecting. Your ability to help me understand what is going on in our lives without judgment and with compassion at a higher perspective is everything I needed. This was like having years of therapy but the healing I need came in one session with you. I was distraught and confused for a long time and after your reading, I woke up this morning with a sense of peace and clarity that I’ve haven’t had until now.” ~ Patti
Tip of the Week:
While the Moon waxes due to the August 4th New Moon cycle, Mercury turned retrograde the same day, joining the complex dynamic with Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, and Neptune, which are also all retrograde.
This indicates something of a cross-current set of influences, which is usually the case, so relax. Tuning into the Moon is subtle but is much more powerful than most people are aware of, simply because it is not common to pay such close attention. Thanks to Astrological calendars however, anyone can learn to follow the Moon more closely as it transits each sign about every 2.5 days. (I teach a course on how to follow the Moon so if you are interested, send me an email).
The Moon’s orbital speed is also ever-vacillating, if rhythmically due to its elliptical orbit.
Since the seed event of the New Moon on August 4 occurred at 12 Leo 34, the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, symbolic of larger social and economic trends, play contributing roles and will come to a sharp turning point mid-month. Stay tuned for more on this developing theme.

Weekly Horoscope:
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Amidst a growing spirit of adventure, fun, and perhaps even games, more sober, practical realities, and considerations are also influencing your focus. Some form of balancing of accounts is featured, so don’t blow your earnings at the racetrack or via some other gamble before you attend to your responsibilities.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
You have entered an ultra-creative cycle. It is one during which you will likely aspire to cover a lot of ground. Attending to a variety of duties and creative projects will likely manifest as doing the rounds. Sometimes, focusing on one thing at a time is best, but not always. Enjoy the kaleidoscope approach.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Despite an otherwise playful and social mood, some of your focus will be directed to home and family. On the home front, the literal practical realities of your house or living space might require repairs, improvements, or simply a fresh rearrangement. Focus to uplift and beautify, without breaking the bank.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Getting clear on what and who is most important in your life is in the spotlight. This process will include some measure of critical analysis. You may even be pushed to dive deeper than you have for a while. To this end, aim for a period of retreat that supports the opportunity to reflect and contemplate.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Taking new leads and strides should be apparent. In some regards, you may even be reaching beyond familiar territory and breaking through prior barriers. These could be literal or mental, as with blocks in your perspective subject to limiting beliefs and attitudes. Opportunities will be more obvious if you keep an open mind.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Balancing the urge to get away from it all for a while with an ambitious drive to forge ahead in your public and professional life is an important balancing act now. Since good ideas are keys to success, perhaps enjoy a period of brainstorming and planning without taking action, except to make drafts and notes.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Who are your friends and allies and why? Asking why you deem them so will support you to understand yourself better. Thanks to themes of freedom and expansion, a 1-year cycle that technically began in May, you are beginning to see the world as with new eyes. This will become stronger next month, but first, you have work to do.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Co-creating your niche in the world is a central theme now. What this implies is based on the finer details of your destiny. This cannot be specifically determined by a Weekly Horoscope but does generally include some measures of freedom, adventure, and inspiration. Seek the sweet spot between love and money.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your world is opening up again. Circumstances may however, push you to stand your ground and acknowledge your worth and value. With Mercury retrograde, your confidence could waver, perhaps especially due to challenges from external sources. Asking for help if you feel you need it is ever wise.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Clearing the old to make way for the new continues. It could be perspectives, interpretations, and attitudes as much as clearing literal clutter. At worst, you could feel a little lost and confused amidst the purge process, and it could continue for several weeks… So, keep it simple and take it slow, and be grateful for what positively is.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
An expansive, social, and playful cycle is underway. The time is right to visit new places and meet new people. Yet Mercury retrograde and closely aligned with Venus in Virgo does imply something of a deeper dive requiring creative, critical thinking. Show people what you want them to see, until trust is earned.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Health and lifestyle continue as a central theme. Circumstances are pushing you to get to the bottom of things. Fortunately, you are likely getting answers and your confidence levels are rising. Yet, you probably still need to be committed and not say or hear simply what you want, regardless of the truth or facts.
