“Astrology reveals your nature and destiny with what can be described as ‘scientific detail’. In alignment with the here and now, with your experience of ‘ground zero’ fully and authentically is simply the most spiritual thing you can do, all notions of religious belief aside. Genuine authenticity is perhaps the best way to describe it, and it implies deep alignment.” ~ Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week:
​​

As May days end and June begins, a new momentum is brewing.

​

Neptune and now Saturn, both in Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac, the sign of pioneering initiatives and new beginnings, are strong indicators. Since both planets will then turn retrograde and re-enter Pisces is significant. So their brief sojourn in Aries can be understood as a sneak preview of the larger dynamic that will unfold more fully in 2026, which aptly is a Universal 1-Year.

​

Jupiter is poised to exit Gemini in a couple of weeks, where it has been for a year now, synchronizing with a steady rise in the scope and degree of polarized views on social fronts. Jupiter will enter Cancer on June 9, which is the Sun Sign for both Canada and the USA, which supports the prospects of boosted confidence levels on both sides of the border. Yet, since Cancer is ruled by the Moon, we can also expect higher and lower rises and falls of the overall emotional tenor as well.

​

That Jupiter will form its final square to Saturn in Aries soon after it enters Cancer marks an important dynamic of decisive actions on economic fronts. The overall process will take several years to fully manifest, but we will gain strong hints about what it implies as early as this summer.

Weekly Horoscope:

​

​Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Many thoughts, new perspectives, and ideas are on your mind. The biggest challenge might be to set realistic boundaries to avoid overwhelm. Sharing these with significant others will likely prove to be a diplomatic process. Getting clear on your values and priorities is featured and might require some extra attention to guide your objectives to healthy and wholesome outcomes.

​

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

A busy cycle is poised to get even busier over the coming weeks and months, but especially over the next couple of months. Your best focus however, is probably to attend to unfinished business before taking on major new projects and initiatives. Consolidation and completion are keywords and can apply to any area of your life, so take the time to reflect and clarify.

​

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Taking creative initiatives is in the spotlight now. These can include new friendships or group affiliations. Taking the lead in this regard is likely required. So, what is triggering your interest and tickling your curiosity? Mars entering its third and final phase in Leo indicates increased energy levels and a strong resolve, especially for you.

​

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

A busy time behind the scenes continues. This could simply amount to an extra active imagination, inspiring new considerations. Making key investments is featured, and if you have been hesitating, circumstances will push you to be more decisive now. The hint of new beginnings on public and professional fronts is featured, so be alert to signs and clues.

​

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

The time is right to reach out and stimulate new connections and/or to strengthen existing relationships. A sense of adventure is indicated, probably requiring a visionary perspective. So, step back or aim for a perch where your scope can be wider than usual. Be willing to brainstorm and be open to all considerations, at least initially.

​

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Fresh activations on professional fronts should be evident by now. An expansive theme is implied, yet it is one which requires contraction as well, such as narrowing your focus and getting disciplined with what is required. Aim to broaden your social outreach with a strategy comprised of higher-minded perspectives, yet which are also practical and applicable.

​

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Gemini time tends to harmonize well for you. It is generally a time for deciphering what is true for you. A process of self-honesty is implied and could require an added measure of courage. Fortunately, Mars in Leo is supporting just that and stands to help you break through persistent patterns of seeing things as you want as opposed to how they might actually be.

​

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Another round of deliberation to determine what constitutes the higher versus the lower road for you is underway. That the answer is not so straightforward is part of the destined challenge. Some might assert what constitutes the best approach, while others counter with alternate perspectives. So, it comes down to what you deem right and true for you.

​

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Fresh stimulation on relationship fronts should be evident by now. With your sights set on the future, short-term satisfaction alone probably will not suffice. Some very real changes are brewing, yet their fuller implications will not likely be revealed for a half a dozen weeks or so. Positively, rewards for past efforts are starting to flow in as well.

​

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Directing more time and energy to making adjustments for the sake of improvements in your daily rhythm and routine is a central theme now. Health, happiness, and a more satisfying flow in general are featured. Changes in your lifestyle are indicated, and the goal is to adjust your attitude and perhaps to take a new approach to family interests.

​

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Relationships with significant others probably require extra efforts of late. New considerations regarding what constitutes fun is on your mind as well. Shaking things up a little is indicated. A sense of adventure may be necessary to break free of habitual patterns and perspectives. What can you do that feels new and inspiring?

​

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Taking the initiative to enter the next effective stage of personal progress is a central theme now. Summoning the courage to act might require a wider scope of both possibility and what might feel necessary. While the Aries factor, which in your case is associated with practical matters and priorities, is getting stimulated, you still have to get clear on your resolve.

“Gaining a clearer and deeper understanding of who we are and what constitutes the finer details of our destiny is where Astrology comes to the fore. In my extensive studies of multiple systems over 4 + decades of research and practice, no other model or system even comes close to it. Not Numerology, not the Tarot, not Myers Briggs, not some other form of oracular tools, not any psychic or medium or anything else. All of these can prove helpful but are invariably limited.” ~ Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week:
​​

The Sun entered Gemini on May 20 this year, to begin what can accurately be described as ‘Gemini Time’.

The New Moon in Gemini on May 26 also indicates an added, creative zeal. The Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter all in Gemini will also inspire both intellectual exchanges and social engagement.

In the background, Uranus in the late degrees of Taurus indicates the worldwide revolution pushing towards digital and crypto currencies. At worst, Uranus slowly pushing through the final degrees of the bull is indicative of selfishness, megalomania, and unscrupulous antics in mass social, political, and economic arenas, (a.k.a., power grabs).

Jupiter approaching its 3rd and final square with Saturn in Cardinal Cancer and Aries respectively in early July, is part of this plot, but more on that later.

In the foreground, the pace will accelerate steadily this week with the Moon in Aries and making multiple conjunctions to begin new cycles. The first of this series is a conjunction with Saturn at the critical 29th degree, just hours before it makes subsequent conjunctions to Neptune, Venus, and Chiron, activating a creative, healing or repairing cycle, supported by Mars in Leo.

Positively, much can be achieved and on a variety of fronts. At worst, the focus could become scattered, and efforts squandered. It comes down to vision, determination, strategy, and focus.

Weekly Horoscope:

​

​Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

The Moon in your sign as the week begins will spark your interests and energy levels, even amidst the waning Moon. Expect the pace to accelerate as well, as Spring enters its final third and drives towards summer. With Saturn entering your sign, you may notice that you become more sober and determined, and it will push you to confront any inhibiting fears.

​

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

You are probably as busy and engaged as a dandelion-loving honeybee in May. Mercury in Taurus has guided a practical, ‘show me the money’ attitude, but that edge stands to soften as you direct more attention to purpose than profit. Even so, your vision is invariably kaleidoscopic as you focus on allocating energy and focus to a variety of fronts, some practical, while others less so, with an emphasis to simply be…

​

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

The Sun now in your sign signifies new initiatives. This will become even more evident as the New Moon enters its waxing phase. Mercury in your sign too will synchronize with sharpened interests guided by Spring-like curiosity. The urge to express and communicate, to be heard and acknowledged, will likely prove stronger than inclinations to simply listen.

​

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The time is right for a bout of retreat, or at least enjoying more time behind the scenes. This cycle will not last long, especially since Jupiter is destined to enter your sign on June 9, which will have an amplifying effect on you somehow. So, this is your cue to use this time to rest and recharge, or at least to quiet your mind in preparation for a big tent event coming your way soon!

​

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Gemini time is both about you in terms of your heightened sense of individuality and your social outreach. As is true of the twins, you will focus to satisfy both. Mars in your sign is helping you to take bold new initiatives, and Jupiter entering Cancer could result in a significant boost in your confidence levels. Yet, the key is to connect within first.

​

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Gemini shares close association with your public and professional life. You can, therefore, expect some activations in this area, especially after the New Moon. Jupiter has been in Gemini for almost a year now, leading to expansion, yet has been subject to contraction, or what can be described as ‘grace under pressure’. Yet, the restriction is about to be released.

​

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

The call of new adventures will become louder this week. Like a clarion piercing the airwaves with its shrill summons, you will feel inspired to respond. A yearning to see a bigger picture, yet close up and in detail, is featured. More than mere answers, you will push for harder truths that bypass your mind and that speak directly to and from your heart.

​

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Perhaps more than any other sign, your journey often guides you to junctures that require discernment regarding higher and lower roads. The irony is that the higher way is usually harder, but the rewards are also greater. A yearning for new knowledge and skills that equate to personal power is dancing in your mind, perhaps as dreams yearning to be realized.

​

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Your world has been steadily changing. In some respects, the process has been one of expansion and liberation. Yet, since it has also been a soul process, it has also effectively served to sever you from ego attachments, which can leave a person feeling raw and vulnerable. The key now is to increase your social outreach with a sense of adventure.

​

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Gemini in your chart points to fresh activations in your lifestyle, with added emphasis on health. The guiding principle is realism, perhaps guided by idealism, yet not replaced by it. Saturn entering Aries will push you harder than you perhaps have been for some time. Positively, it will mobilize you to become more determined than ever.

​

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Hopefully you are in the mood for some fun and games, because that is what Gemini time has in store. On the other hand, it could manifest more fully as some measure of drama that will push to draw on your reserves of faith. Your willingness to explore new directions, or at least new modes of perception, interpretation, and expression, is featured.

​

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Directing more time, energy, and focus to home and family will become increasingly apparent over the coming days and weeks. Positively, a creative impulse is also rising, and one that will last quite a while. Hardly a singular focus, it will direct you to endeavor to achieve a variety of goals on a variety of fronts, or at least a major project with many angles and facets.

“Thank you for the session yesterday. I was quite astonished with the accuracy that you were describing my past and my previous husband and my personality! I am still processing everything. Many thanks again. This was quite a fascinating experience I must say. The messages and your kindness are so much appreciated. Warmly, Mira
Tip of the Week:
​​

The big news in the world of Astrology now is Saturn at the critical 29th degree of Pisces as of May 13, and poised to enter Aries on May 24.

The influence of the 29th degree is one of some mode of overcoming and of delay, requiring patience. This can be especially said of Saturn in Pisces, regarded as the karmic planet in the karmic sign.

Interestingly, when Saturn is in Pisces in a person’s Natal Chart, it generally indicates an absent father, whether literally or figuratively, as with emotionally distant and cool, if not outright cold. The synchronicity of this on the social and political airwaves is apt indeed.

When Saturn enters Aries on May 24, we can expect things to heat up even more than they are currently, thanks in large measure to both Venus and Mars also in fiery Aries and Leo, respectively. Chiron also in Aries since May 2018, indicates a wounded sense of authenticity and a subsequent decline of genuine enthusiasm for life. Given the gravity of drama on the world stage, it is also a relevant synchronicity.

Since Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, whenever a planet enters it, the ignition spark of a new round of destiny is fired.

Interestingly, when Neptune entered Aries on April 28, the day of the publicly shared first phone call between Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Donald Trump took place under a late waning dark Moon. Exactly two weeks earlier, Mark Carney was sworn in as P.M. on March 14 under the light of the Full Moon in Virgo, which is where his Moon is in his Natal Chart. Then again, in the dark of the New Moon, exactly one lunar month after Neptune entered Aries, Mark Carney was proclaimed the winner of the Federal Election with Neptune at the exact first degree of Aries.

Zero degrees Aries in any person’s chart is indicative of a charged area of focus where we want to take initiative in light of the greater theme of our destiny.

What’s your destiny? Your Natal Chart holds the clues when one knows how to peer deeply into it, which is not common.

Weekly Horoscope:

​

​Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

A busy time continues, complete with labours of love on a variety of fronts. Hopefully, none of them will get you into trouble… The emphasis is on practical creativity. Given the season, outside activities are especially inviting. Saturn entering your sign next weekend will add to this overall theme but could also require that you confront any security fears.

​

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Most creative work requires the groundwork, planning, preparing, clearing, and then foundations. As fully engaged as you likely are in noticeable ways, you are probably also busy making plans for future projects. The current focus includes improvements and refinements of various kinds, requiring you to get right to the roots of any hindrances.

​

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Big changes are brewing. Currently, however, you have the opportunity to coast a bit and enjoy simpler pleasures, with your energy levels running higher all the while. This could include new encounters with old friends. Returns for past efforts will begin to roll in soon, providing you with something of a report card. Positively, your confidence levels will be boosted.

​

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

A process of building and preparing for the future continues. New tools and/or skills are probably required. Discerning what constitutes sound investments is featured. These can be as much about attitude and priorities as financial interests. Meanwhile, fresh starts on professional fronts, or perhaps more generally regarding your social status, are imminent.

​

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Taurus time is generally one for practical accomplishments for you. This can refer to any activity from gardening to spring cleaning to financial responsibilities and interests. Hopefully, you have been able to enjoy the added emphasis on creativity this year, which includes both new projects and completions of existing ones, and this trend will continue.

​

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

As though you have come out of the mountains and entered a wide valley, it is supporting an expanded vision of reality. So significant are the changes implied in some regards, that it is as though what you once deemed factual, real, and true and under review. At worst, this is shaking your world. Positively, you are intrigued and inspired.

​

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Taurus time is perhaps the deepest of the year for you. It can include feelings and experiences that can be described as a ‘dark night of the soul’. More generally, it is a good time to do some kind of cleanse, whether literal as with your body or of your living environment, or of stagnant attitudes and emotions, and so on. The emphasis is strongly on relationships.

​

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Who do you love and how and why? These and other such questions are likely on your mind. Circumstances are pushing you to give more than usual, and more than you might feel inclined to contribute. The time is right to receive guidance and instruction as necessary, or to activate new approaches altogether. What constitutes the higher path now?

​

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

The steady stream of changes in your daily rhythm and routine that has been underway for years now, let alone months, has entered an important new round. It is leading to a whole new spectrum of relationship engagement. Changes in this regard are likely, but it will likely manifest as a process that will continue through May 2026, at least.

​

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

What fun and games are keeping you happily occupied now? With Venus in Aries currently, creating beauty one way or another, but especially in your living environment, will be a source of inspiration. Mars in Leo, meanwhile, suggests that your ambitions are running strong, so you could well be deep into a bigger project than you bargained for.

​

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

While you are willing to enter the ring to confront opposition, in one regard or another, you may also be wondering if it is worth the effort. This confrontation may be literal in some form, yet there are indications that they are more fully features of your perceptions, and perhaps your self-concept too. A process of growing new roots is indicated.

​

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

As different as your sign is from that of Taurus, it guides your perspectives and priorities in terms of where to best direct your focus and energies. The objective is to achieve maximum results with minimum effort. Yet, sometimes the work required is considerable, pushing you to work harder than usual, which you probably have and are still.

“In these complex times, Astrology can be described as a ‘natural psychology’. Because it is an archetypal language that is anchored in the very nature of existence, it is deeply aligned with human nature in the most intrinsic and organic sense. What is not so commonly understood about Astrology is that it is indeed a ‘depth psychology’ tool. What this term implies is the spiritual essence of psychology, which literally translates as the ‘study of the soul’. Among the many strategies available is to guide people from a state of ego-centered consciousness, which can be understood as a state of significant social conditioning, to a soul-centered state, which implies authentic inner alignment with our nature and destiny, or soul plan.” ~ Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week:
​​

There are many layers of background influence regarding outer events, themes, and trends. Rest assured, synchronicity is also ever at play. Existence is on purpose and by design. These background influences include the fact that we are in the sunrise phase of the Age of Aquarius, which constitutes a 2160-year cycle! A core aspect of it centers on freedom, rights, and justice.

​

There are other, more current, generic cycles of influence underway as well, including Pluto in Aquarius, which is a 20-year cycle that began in late March 2023. Its function will be to transform humanity collectively and could have the effect of significant changes in society as a whole, possibly including extreme control. Yet, Aquarius is also symbolic of rebellion, and many will resist the process.

​

The deeper reality is that people tend to become polarized in their views, subject to where and how they access information, which is a social/political factor. This is clearly a major issue in North America at this time, but is also active elsewhere in the world as well. The overall complex naturally includes human psychology, perception, belief, and interpretation.

​

In this regard, wisdom guides us to seek inner alignment and to make efforts to determine what is and is not our ‘business’, both literally and figuratively speaking. Yet, free will can be understood as a chaos factor, which introduces possibility within the scope of probability, for better or worse. Thus, as the game goes, we can be influenced, and also make personal choices that lead us away from our authentic voice, path, and direction.

Weekly Horoscope:

​

​

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

On one hand, you are in a feisty and assertive mood. On the other, you are inclined to fortify your overall foundation. Saturn entering your sign later this month will add to your determination but could stir fears as well. It marks a good time to get clear on new directions. Mars in Leo, however, will help you to feel strong and courageous.

​

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

​The New Moon in your sign on April 27 in its waxing phase is inspiring you to take new leads. Yet, Venus in Aries is igniting an impulse to do inner work, whether psychologically or more literally, as with needed attention directed to your home front. So, you are likely to be extra busy this month, even though others might not see it.

​

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

​A strong inclination to retreat vies with an equally strong impulse to assert new aspects of your overall sense of individuality. This inner conflict will not last long, however, so aim for some measure of resting to recharge because the pace will quicken towards month’s end and will continue as such for many months.

​

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Taurus can be described as your friendly sign. Currently, the emphasis includes emerging ambitions to make sound investments with the long term in mind. This trend will both continue and deepen. Discernments regarding these might require a quieter mind, however, to offset the noisy, distracting influences of the world.

​

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Directing attention to your public and professional life and status is the call now. A steadily emerging ambition is featured, and this trend will continue all summer. In the short term, a philosophical mood is lingering, supporting you to realize a larger vision genuinely worthy of your true gifts, skills, and strengths.

​

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your philosophy can be described as guided by common sense. Yet, how it is defined is a subjective matter. You have entered a cycle that implies changes in this regard. You are being guided to reconsider what you might have otherwise been reactively inclined to assume or do over the past while. Inner work is indicated as well, some summon courage to be self-honest.

​

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Spring cleaning or some other form of purging is the call now. The goal is to clear the clutter to deepen your overall sense of connection and perhaps intimacy, especially with yourself. Since the primary relationship is ever with our own self, this should make sense. A rebellious assertion is also indicated, which could include getting past your own resistance.

​

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Strengthening foundations on relationship fronts is a central theme now. The overall process might require more effort than you would like to make. Obtaining some kind of training is very likely, or you could be the one providing it. In the deeper end, you could find yourself at a crossroads and feel the need to get clear on what is your best direction.

​

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Your world is changing, in terms of your daily focus and rhythm. Positively, it is manifesting as an expansion of some kind, perhaps especially on social fronts. With your sights set on the future, you are determined to be aware and proactive regarding what you need to do to arrive in good form. Supported by Aries and Leo, you are likely feeling the love, or at least the fire.

​

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Your focus is set on the future. Practical considerations are strongly on your mind. This may be more fully a time for who you know, more than what. At worst, you could feel diminished somehow at a core level, prompting you to determine how to regain your strength. The answer probably includes a steady determination to rebuild altogether.

​

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Your focus is strongly directed to home and family currently. There may be a subtle edge on the airwaves in this regard. Positively, you feel energized and focused to get things done. A learning curve is also rising, which includes the irony of ‘unlearning’ or of letting go of old self-concepts, assumptions, or interpretations that are no longer relevant.

​

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Cultivating a whole new foundation of perspective and approach is an important current theme. The question you might ask is: “Am I genuinely minding my own business, or have I become swept up in matters that are altogether counter-productive?” If the answer is yes, take the time to carefully reconsider where and how you can better invest your time and energy.

“Where the goal of traditional Astrology is to predict the outcome with what can be described as ‘scientific precision’, Humanistic Astrology is primarily oriented to helping a person to be deeply self-aware to support making informed decisions based on alignment with a true or authentic sense of self and purpose.” ~ Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week:
​​

In sync with the heated political atmosphere, certainly here in Canada and the USA, Mercury in Aries is amplified by Mars in Leo.

Mercury, in turn, is ‘disposited’, or is engaged in a ‘thematic transfer’ with the Sun, which is in Taurus.

The waning Moon will form a conjunction with the Sun (New Moon) on Sunday, April 27 at 7 Taurus 47.

In turn, Taurus is ruled by Venus, which is in the late degrees of Pisces. Based on its exact degree, it shares association with Scorpio and Aquarius, in terms of the influence of thematic layers, yet its ‘direct transfer’ (dispositor) is to Neptune, which is also true of Saturn and the Lunar North Node – which are all in Pisces, and Neptune is in Aries, still within the first degree, or 0 Aries 59, at the time of the New Moon.

This is the alpha degree of the entire Zodiac, symbolic of new beginnings, pioneering initiatives, and, effectively, of change associated with new beginnings guided by pioneering initiatives.

Weekly Horoscope:

​

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Building upon new foundations is the call now. Yet, perhaps not in the literal sense. It may be that this building process is associated with you, with your ideals, perspectives, attitudes, beliefs, or perhaps it is your overall vibration, which admittedly, would include this list. Either way, you have entered a creative cycle that says build!

​

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

​The Sun in your sign is your cue to take new leads. In this instance, these are associated with looking to the future in terms of dreams, hopes, and wishes too. The means of doing so implies digging deeper somehow. It also includes some form of breakthrough, as though you are in a tunnel and some rock separates you and the open air and freedom.

​

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

​You have been called to assume a whole new status, which includes words like maturity, duty, responsibility, and discipline. In the short term, inner work is required. This implies some measure of retreat and quietude to increase your ability and opportunity to really hear the whispers of your soul. This is a summons from your soul.

​

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

A new sense of self is emerging. This refers to you as an individual. In its deeper reaches, this includes the process of individuation. It is a Jungian Psychology term that you can research further. Basically, it includes a process of achieving heightened self-reflective awareness. Some refer to this as shadow work, which implies shedding light on unexplored aspects of your psyche.

​

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Taurus time is one to get more attention and recognition for yourself. With Venus in Pisces, however, you have to be careful, since for you it implies hidden factors, possibly enemies, or at least adversaries, who could even be family, or close friends. Positively, it presents an opportunity to be seen and heard, which can lead to advancement or promotion.

​

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Taurus is an inspirational sign and time for you. The focus is on visions, higher-minded thinking, philosophy, ethics, and the power of knowledge in general. Yet, all of these are guided more fully by common sense than idealism. You yearn to communicate your ideas, thoughts, and feelings, yet you are probably wise to do your due diligence of research before you do.

​

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Taurus can be described as your ‘fatal attraction sign’. This can amount to a swinging pendulum of love and hate, or at least of frustrations, but more generally, as love. This love is usually of the romantic kind, and invariably includes passion, or at least hopefully. Yet, this currently requires you to give more than you might usually.

​

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Building stronger foundations on relationship fronts is the call now. A creative process is implied. Also, play the long game and do not let impatience interfere with the process of growing deeper roots. Another key now is to acknowledge all that makes you special in terms of your unique gifts, skills, and quality of insight and knowledge to share.

​

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Changes in your overall lifestyle continue to unfold. It may feel as though you are building a whole new life, or at least a life rhythm and pattern, let alone something material or in particular. This is an expansive time overall, which includes the requirement of creative thinking and the will to take new leads. Whatever your focus, make it a game or fun, for best results.

​

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Taurus is your creative sign. This includes art, inspiration, innovation, and invention too. Imagination is a keyword when it comes to creativity and is especially emphasized now. So, what do you need to do to enter an imaginative mood or state. Whatever it takes, do it but set the intention not to get hooked on the means once you have achieved the end.

​

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Taurus is your go-to sign. After you have gone big, and you are ready to go home, where it is peaceful and stable, and hopefully to your garden or sanctuary space. Your focus now is guided by practical wisdom, as with getting things done. As well, the lure of new knowledge and understanding is summoning, the kind that transcends existing perceptions.

​

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Building upon existing knowledge, to fortify the ground of your overall understanding is now in focus. Yet, it is not knowledge or information for its own sake. The goal is to deepen your understanding, sharpen your insight, and increase your awareness in general for practical purposes. Harness what you know and make it more available and profitable.

“Hi Michael, my Reading with you went so much deeper than I imagined it would. It helped me to see and understand myself and many more aspects of human nature, and this has served to free me tremendously, releasing old beliefs no longer needed, so that I can be lighter, more aware and more receptive… In deep gratitude.” ~ Denise
Tip of the Week:
​​

Mars entering Leo this weekend, on April 17/18 is among the bigger news. It was already in the sign of fun, games, play, performances, drama, and heroes for a couple of months from early November 2024 to early January 2025. During this time, the U.S. election was decided, inspiring aspirations for a revolutionary recovery process.

​

But the real down and dirty work has been while Mars was in Cancer, where it can be described as ‘the renovator’, at best, especially the process of clearing the deadwood, the old infrastructure…

​

Mars in Leo is more fully symbolic of the creative, building process that follows.

​

The Sun entering Taurus on April 19, followed by the New Moon on April 27, will synchronize with this next major phase of rebuilding, which is what Taurus especially symbolizes. Together, this Taurus and Leo combination can prove extra productive, and this is what will be pretty much on most people’s minds, whistling engaging tunes while getting ‘er done.

Weekly Horoscope:

​

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Mars in Leo will prove especially stimulating for you as it amplifies the Sun in your sign in its final days. Then, as Taurus time begins, you will feel called to make each step count. Ironically though, it may still not be time to launch into major endeavors due to Venus and Neptune in Pisces. So, steady as she goes is probably a good plan. Play now, launch later.

​

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

​This Mars transit through Leo will put you to work. The focus could perhaps especially center on your home front. Either way, you will probably be in the mood to tackle new projects. Since you are probably already busy on a variety of fronts, however, you are probably wise to carefully weigh the time and energy expense before you take on too much.

​

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

​Mars through Leo will likely boost your energy levels, noticeably. Yet, the Sun in Taurus cycle will lead you to whatever retreat, peace and quiet mean to you. Positively, you will find yourself in a creative mood, as within your studio, study, or workshop. Creative progress and perhaps even breakthroughs might be achieved.

​

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Leo can be described as your personal wealth and treasure trove of talents sign. Mars there will ignite your ambitions to invest in any which way that makes sense. Advice from friends in this regard could prove helpful and welcome. As ever, consider multiple baskets for your eggs and whatever else you have to leverage your profits.

​

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Mars in your sign will amplify your energy levels, determination, and resolve. It represents a big opportunity for you more than any other sign. With the Sun entering Taurus, associated with your career and public status in general, this opportunity could be harnessed for recognition, promotion, and popularity, especially as May begins!

​

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Mars through Leo could prove quite productive for you. It generally indicates working behind the scenes. There is a marked opportunity to benefit from training of some kind, with emphasis on practical skills development. Sun in earthy Taurus aligns well for you, supporting a wider vision and a willingness to be adventurous yet guided by realistic strategies.

​

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Leo is your friend sign and is also associated with your sense of individuality. Mars in Leo tends to trigger a rebellious push, which could have mixed results with others, yet leave you feeling more aligned with your truth. The Taurus factor could go either way, positively supporting your ambitions, yet could trigger a dry spell, so use it to plan now and execute later.

​

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

As one of the four Fixed Modality signs, shared with Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius, it might be apparent that with all three activated by current planet cycles, you are experiencing the push to make solid decisions that you can support with determined actions. Positively, Mars in Taurus will give you added career drive, and the Taurus factor will stimulate practical engagement.

​

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Leo harmonizes with your sign in a big way. Your aspiration for truth can be accurately understood as personal truth, at least at the initial stages. It requires self-honesty, which requires courage, and that is what Mars in Leo can be harnessed to achieve. The Taurus factor is inviting you to anchor this strength into your daily focus.

​

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Mars in Leo for you equates to ambition. It is the slow but sure kind that is guided by common-sense perspectives going forward. The more committed you are to progress, the better, but this does not necessarily mean that the ends justify the means, which can be understood as the attitude of fanatics and tyrants. A steady, patient, faithful flow is the key.

​

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Mars in Leo can prove to have an edgy effect, especially on relationship fronts. The question to ask is: how can you make this work in your favor? With the strong influence of Taurus bringing emphasis to your home and living and environment, and given that the winter clean-up and planting season is upon us, in that order, it can prove to help your productivity.

​

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Mars in Leo for you can be translated to indicate work, or the extra efforts required to get the job done. So, it can prove extra industrious for you too. The emphasis on Taurus implies multiple projects or fronts, so managing your time well will prove extra satisfying. So, set some ambitious goals and be willing to do what it takes to achieve them.
