Tip of the Week:
After a longer than usual Mercury Retrograde (Rx) cycle (which turned direct August 11), summer resumes its course.

Technically, there remain 5 weeks before the Autumn Equinox. Yet, there will be another New Moon on August 22/23 at fresh, raw, critical 0 Virgo 23, and then summer’s last Full Moon, (a Lunar Eclipse no less), at 15 Pisces 23 on September 7.

The tabloids will be exclaiming it to be a ‘Blood Moon’, others will chime in that it is ‘the’ Corn Moon’, credulously emphasizing one indigenous culture, often the Algonquin, at the expense of many others, standardizing and reducing its fuller, cultural spectrum of meanings. Vedic Astrologers will assert that it is in Aquarius, adding to the confusion and division, dismissive of the time factor that is the anchor of the true Zodiac associated with calendars and clocks which preceded the illustrious measure of rising stars and constellations projected, having falsely attained the mythical status of objective fact. This is true of many so-called truths upheld by popular culture and common assumptions.

To learn more about the Moon and its indelible influence in your daily life (much more than you might realize!), I will soon be offering my readers the opportunity to join my Moon Cycle Club. More details are coming soon, and send me an email early if you want to be on the list to learn more directly.

Have a great week!

Horoscope for the Week:
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

With your confidence levels running strong and supported by a playful, sporting mood, you may find yourself pushing through prior blocks to advance your position somehow. The main issue is that you could overdo it, pushing too hard. Achieving grace and equanimity is ever the ideal to cultivate genuine strength of character. Patience with the process is the key.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Some cycle requires more effort than others, like this one perhaps. Responsibilities close to home and family abound and require you to cover a lot of bases. Flowing with the mood includes the lube of gratitude to replace the hidden saboteurs called entitlement, expectation and assumption. How can you get close and personal without taking things personally?

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Running on the high octane of life’s many little inspirations, your creative fires have been stoked. If this is not the case, you could be looking too closely and taking yourself and life too seriously. The time is right to invest into your health, as well, which is a four-cornered theme including physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Awareness is the first key.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Getting to the bottom of things somehow should be keeping you busy, and this trend will continue. Positively, you are in a creative and proactive mood and feel confident to forge ahead. A sense of confidence to tackle bigger projects is supporting your cause as well, and will hit its stride by month’s end. Some measure of creative licence is important to keep you motivated.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Sun and mercury in your sign are supporting ambitions to share your bigger thoughts on things. Some caution to not disturb any hornet’s nest is advised, however. With your energy levels running strong, you could feel a bit punchy and rebellious. Use this power to break through inner our outer resistance, yet be empathetic regarding other’s feelings.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have likely been happy to play low over the past few weeks. You could have been creatively productive but have and continue to deal with challenges seeing things as clearly as you would like, especially due to Mercury Rx. This fog will begin to dissipate this week and your focus will get progressively sharper especially in September.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Making friends with the future implies your attitude and sense of adventure and determination. While confident on one hand, you probably sense that you need to do the work required, and this could include obtaining new tools and skills. Doing your homework to prepare is probably wise, and includes both inner work to clear doubts, and some background studies.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Taking a creative lead in your public and professional life has felt right for some weeks now. However, Mercury Rx has likely been causing you to feel hesitant and to be patient. Meanwhile, a rebellious impulse is also brewing, and you could feel conflicted. The key to slaying these doubt demons includes increasing your scope of vision.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

As though you have climbed to heights above the clouds, you are seeing things more clearly. This clarity is also inspiring a sense of adventure, if not literally perhaps by way of new projects and other creative initiatives. At worst, you feel overwhelmed by both your to-do list and the scope of possibilities. Reducing the amount or spectrum of areas of focus will help

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Clearing the old to make way for the new is featured in this current cycle. Diving in to determine your deeper feelings about things, and to determine more practically what needs to be done, and the cost, is part of the plot. Sharing the decision-making is likely and you are probably willing to learn where necessary and are open to skilled help too.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Opening your mind to obtain new knowledge and information for the sake of more harmony and fulfillment on relationship fronts continues to guide your focus. Giving more to situations and taking risks to try new approaches will provide a guiding light. Your energy levels are probably running higher as well, inspiring a sense of adventure.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Attending to your health has required extra effort of late. Your energy levels have probably been up and down over the past several weeks, in part due to the need to concentrate your focus on specific goals. The shift now is to aim for a refreshed sense of balance. Redirecting some of your energy to creative interests that inspire you will increase your confidence.
