“Hey Michael! I just thought I’d give you an update! It happened pretty much exactly like you said it would. Thanks for your insight and good direction in our lives again. Thank you!” ~ Tracy
Tip of the Week:
‘Eclipse Season’ began with a critical 0-degree New Moon in Virgo on August 22/23, was followed by a Lunar Eclipse at 15 Pisces 23 on September 7, and now culminates as a Partial Solar Eclipse on September 21 at 29 Virgo 05.

Much has changed on the world stage since that first event, as the revolutions of evolution build momentum at this critical juncture of our times and human history in general.

The coming New Moon on September 21 (the day prior to Autumn Equinox) is the second of two in Virgo, but this one is at the critical 29th degree of Virgo, and is a Solar Eclipse, making it significantly more special, and impactful. Although it is a ‘Partial Eclipse’, this does not deter from the fact that it is an Eclipse and, therefore, qualifies as a true ‘Super Moon’.

Since it is the 2nd of two in Virgo, it is destined to manifest as a continuation and amplification of the initial event of the Lunar Eclipse two weeks ago, which can be understood as the ‘warm-up’ event to this one…

The focus on Eclipses is a feature of the much wider and detailed scope of my upcoming Master Class on Saturday, October 4, 2025 – Understanding the Earth, Sun and Moon Relationship of Astrology. Learn more HERE.

I often observe a lot of speculation and erroneous understanding of Astrology, leading to widespread confusion, which not only continues to this day, but has increased due to the assertion of strong opinions based on common assumptions by people on social media. Join with me and friends to clear the confusion from your mind, once and for all!

“Real Astrology, with a Real Astrologer in Real Time.”

The basic, general, destined influence of this Solar Eclipse on September 21 for each sign is the focus of this week’s Horoscope.

Have a great week!

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

Pushing for change and a fairer deal on relationship fronts is more than on your mind. As willing as you are to negotiate, you are not so inclined to compromise your sense of fairness and what you feel you need. Ideally, you will recognize the same desire in significant others and honor them equally, and with recognition that some changes take time.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Circumstances are pushing you to create a more balanced lifestyle that aligns with your destined needs and personal desires. Changes in public and professional status are also featured, and the push is to diversify your skills and talents somehow. You might even find interest in pursuing more than one direction, as with a side hustle, perhaps.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Beauty is divine, and you feel inspired to bring more of it into your life. This could include decorating, or renovating, or artistic expressions, or perhaps simply choosing to shift your perspective and attitude to see the beauty that already exists. Nature holds special appeal and the changing colors of nature associated with the season is a good start.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Shifting the way we perceive things is often all the change that is needed. However, sometimes more literal action is required, and this is probably one of those times. The time is right to ‘roll up your sleeves’ and get down to the bottom of things. Clearing the clutter might be all that is needed, but it does appear that you have bigger plans.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Virgo plays a key role regarding your financial interests. Since it is an Earth element sign, you tend to be especially practical, yet with an emphasis on investments as well as savings. Many changes have occurred over the past couple of years or so in this regard, and now you are eager to tilt the scales again, in your favor.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Activations towards new or at least fresh initiatives should be evident by now, but if not, they will be soon. You are in a proactive and determined mood to express yourself in ways you deem represent beauty, and you are interested in generating returns for your efforts. Fortunately, your confidence levels among friends or associated with groups is running strong.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

The Lunar Eclipse likely had the effect of awakening you to the realization that you need to make some changes to genuinely get your needs met. Now, you feel that much more determined to do something about it. This could well include shaking things up somehow, guided by an assertive push, and perhaps one guided by revolutionary zeal.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Virgo tends to be a friendly sign for you and you yearn for more such connections. Cultural interests are also featured, supporting shared values and experiences. You may have some inner work to do, some soul searching, however, regarding what you truly value and want. Natural environments will probably hold extra appeal.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Virgo is closely associated with your public and professional life – call it the conservative side of an otherwise wild streak, true of your centaur nature. You yearn for a better balance but realize that it will not happen unless you shake-it-up somehow. Keeping an open mind regarding the possibilities, and your approach is advised and could be supported by second opinions.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Virgo can be credited with supporting your ability to pay attention to the details of the bigger picture. Like a telescope, it allows you to zero in on the bigger story. Acquiring and/or sharing knowledge and instruction related to needed skills and actions is indicated. Expect that you will be making measured changes to how you get things done.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Like a geologist examining the rock and mineral deposits in a deep cavern, you are eager to gain precise knowledge of the subtle reaches of things associated with key investments. You are willing to venture some risks, if carefully calculated ones, but you want other inputs, perhaps something of a round table discussion or at least intelligent exchanges.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Life is all about relationships and there are indications that yours are destined for change. These could amount to practical improvements combined with creative opportunities. Ambitions for realistic returns is part of the plot. You should be ready to do homework, however, including research. The balancing of accounts is featured.

“Astrology can be understood as a ‘living, dynamic, archetypal, metaphysical science’, in large measure because the planets are ever in motion. We can do our best to capture the meaning and significance of any given moment, as with a photograph of live events. Yet, the continuum is just that, ongoing and never ending.” ~ Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week:
As the Moon approaches the final quarter on Sunday, September 14, revealing the ever-interesting light of the half-moon, it will disintegrate to total darkness once again. What is interesting about the New Moon is that it is completely dark, symbolic of completely Yin to us here on Earth, yet the ‘dark side of the Moon’ is totally illumined, ignited by the solar light, inseminated by the Yang force of the Sun. This is why the New Moon constitutes a ‘seed event’.

Beyond mere phenomenology, its destined influence is measurable based on the positions of the planets from our perspective here on Earth, in turn constituting a unique whole that was never experienced before, not will even be again, just as is true of a newborn child. Similar yet distinctly unique, every New Moon ‘embodies’ a distinctly unique theme of destiny.

Learning Astrology by way of the Moon reveals a relationship between Sun, Moon and Earth and is among the best ways to learn, because it invites observation, and not just conceptual understanding. If you are interested in learning Astrology and more about yourself with this focus, send me an email to be notified about my Moon Cycle Club.

The coming New Moon that occurs on September 21, the day prior to Autumn Equinox, is the second of two in Virgo, but….this one will be at the critical 29th degree of Virgo 06 minutes, and is a Solar Eclipse, which makes it that much more special, and impactful. Although it is a ‘Partial Eclipse’ it does not deter from the fact that it is an eclipse and, therefore, qualifies as a true ‘Super Moon’.

Its basic, general, destined influence for each sign is the focus of this week’s Horoscope.

Have a great week!

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

This Solar Eclipse is destined to have a direct impact on your relationship life and your lifestyle in general, and how these are intimately connected. The basic message is the importance of giving fully. This could amount to giving more, but maybe you already give a lot. The flipside is the return, which should be a balanced reciprocation of your contributions.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Health is that word that is core to the word ‘success’. Success without health, at least mental and especially emotional happiness, is not really success. It may be achievement, but what is its value? Assessing how you can feel more fulfilled is a central theme associated with these eclipses, both the recent lunar and now the coming solar.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Creating beauty can be deemed a spiritual activity. Aspiring to emulate the endless beauty of nature, yet in a personal way and close to home is a natural desire. Of course, all things take time, and other investments too, the most important of which is your heart. So, be patient with the process and do it for love above all.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Changes close to home can be expected subject to this eclipse couplet. That home is where your heart is, literally, is worth considering. It is an interesting notion that we do not live ‘in the world’ so much as in our own mind, is worth considering. Of course, your mind includes how you feel. A golden key in this regard is to count your blessings.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Nurturing new perspectives, strategies and approaches is a feature of this eclipse season. It comes down to getting clear on your values and priorities. Suffering often comes from lack of clarity, confusion, indecision and subsequent procrastination, frustration and even depression. Focus to identify what you want and clarify how to achieve it.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Two back-to-back New Moon’s in your sign and a Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces in between, point to changes on relationships fronts. These need not be epic, dramatic and painful, but they do indicate both feelings and events that will shift your perspective at least, and possibly your approach and lifestyle.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Deepening the relationship with yourself can be accurately understood as a spiritual process. However, it can simply be about making needed adjustments to feel more aligned, healthier and happier. Directing your focus to what you want and feel you need is not selfish, because if you are happier, significant others are likely to be as well.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Clarifying your dreams in the context of practicality and realism is extra important now. This implies the need to cooperate with people and circumstances rather than trying to force them as a means of control. True control is self-control, and it is also described as ‘emotional self-mastery’. Doing so is supported by choosing to be your own best friend.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Knowing your own mind is much easier said than done. Determining what you think, believe and value and why, constitutes an adventurous journey to achieve true knowledge and wisdom. Interestingly, a cornerstone of these includes self-honesty, and it too requires courage, strength and commitment. Meditate on deciphering your truth.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Shifts and changes in your public and professional life and how these reflect your vision of what constitutes a successful life, are features of this eclipse season. What actions do you need to take and choices you need to make to feel more secure and nurtured? The answer probably includes harmonizing with those determined by the significant other(s) in your life.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

A transformational process is a destined feature of these back-to-back eclipses. They are destined to activate a quest for new opportunities. Achieving a new sense of abundance is indicated. Perhaps you feel you deserve a raise or a promotion. The key is to acknowledge yourself, yet also be open to support from your fans.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Changes in your relationship life are destined due to these eclipses. While this invariably includes others, the relationship is with your own self as well and includes deciphering how you can be more creatively fulfilled. The basic answer includes new strategies and approaches. Once you have determined what these are, begin without delay.

“I have been hearing about Michael for decades and finally had an introductory session. What became immediately clear was that he is not only a very knowledgeable and master astrologer, his other capacities related to coaching are extensive. There was a point in our “reading” that it seemed his abilities extended beyond the astrological chart into the realm of accurate intuition to say the least. Michael is so personable and genuinely interested which he demonstrated in his overall manner of presence in communication. Our initial contact was informative, illuminating, and included possibilities for action. I am so glad I made the appointment and plan to continue to engage his expertise as an astrologer, and to explore the many different facets he offers on his website. I highly recommend!” ~ Darlene
Tip of the Week:
The next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse that occurs on Sunday, September 7 at 15 Pisces 23 is the big news now.

A Full Moon is best understood as the culmination of the growth of the seed, the harvest, the fulfillment of the destined purpose as revealed by the New Moon, which is the seed event. It occurred on August 22/23 at 0 Virgo, generally symbolic of new initiatives oriented to improve, fix or repair.

A hard aspect by Uranus in Gemini with that New Moon in August indicated a ‘shaker’ quality, effectively pushing for change, and was amplified by Saturn and Neptune in Aries, pushing us all to let go of the past to make way for new chapters.

Have you felt this in your own life?

This week’s Horoscope will shed some light on the possible influence of this Lunar Eclipse for each sign. *Remember, each sign is influenced by 1 or 2 other signs. To determine this, at least an approximate time of birth is required. If this is unknown, I can help you to determine what it is, but it will require a Reading session to do so. Otherwise, if you do know your time of birth, along with the date and location, I can tell you what the other signs are, so if you are interested, send me an email: michael@sunstarastrology.com​

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

This Lunar Eclipse is destined to awaken you more fully to realize your dreams and/or answer your soul’s calling. For new, inspired feelings and visions might be enough. However, taking note and outlining a creative plan or at least a weave of ideas will help bring them down to Earth. Ideas assume power when they are committed in writing.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

The art of making improvements to achieve greater degrees of balance, harmony, flow and beauty reveals your relationship with Virgo. That the process implies change, and even transformation is a feature of the destiny. This is a call to ‘get your house in order’ before you embark upon new projects.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Home is our place of comfort, security, peace and power. Our literal home is in our heart center, yet our dwelling can be anywhere. The difference is that home in your heart means that you are at home wherever you go. As for the dwelling, well it too deserves our love and attention, and is truly fulfilled when it comes from the heart.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Virgo is the busy bee in your stride, yet it can also amount to the bee in your bonnet. Both refer to your critical analysis function. It is asking you to carefully consider your place in the world. There are indications that the ground may not be as stable as you like in this regard, and requires you to do what is necessary beyond your fears.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Taking account of matters generally requires some measure of calculation. Fortunately, you are in the mood to attend to the details. This can apply to getting organized and cleaning the corners to increase your confidence levels, and ‘exorcize’ that rapping in the back of your mind once and for all!

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Two back-to-back New Moons in your sign and a Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces in between, points to changes on relationship fronts. These need not be epic, dramatic and painful, but they do indicate both feelings and events that will shift your perspective at least, and possibly your approach and lifestyle.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Change is the law and sometimes it meanders, while at other times, it rolls like grade 5 rapids. The lean now is to the rapids and is requiring a commitment to securing your position, or positioning your security. Emphasis on your health is indicated which is foundational to security. Time to get real, again.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

It is good to have friends, especially true ones, but it is even better to be your own best friend because, alas, friendships often prove fickle, largely due to ego frailties, but also simply to the steady flow of change. Sometimes the best friends are those in positions of power, authority and influence. Like now.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Shifts and changes in your public and professional life are forecasted, subject to these eclipses. Positively, it appears that these could be laced with good karma. That said, sometimes even good karma can come with a shove, and even a kick or two. Whatever is happening, cooperate because the results look good.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Virgo is one of your besties, as it serves to inform you of the details of the bigger picture. However, the challenge requires you to do your own due diligence in the way of research to verify the facts for yourself. You could be in an idealistic mood, yet circumstances require seasoned know-how and skill.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Virgo combined with your sign is the mark of engineering. Stretching the term, invention might be required, or reinvention, perhaps especially in your relationships, both personal and professional. Your willingness to invest your energies into new designs will bring rewards now. Besides, there is not much wiggle room.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Virgo is your polar opposite sign and indicates the ideals of your orientation to the important relationships in your life. The key is to focus on creating versus ‘having’, because the latter tends to leave others feeling… had. Patience with this process is required, but begin now because significant others might not be so patient.

Tip of the Week:
While the shift from August to September does not officially determine the end of summer, which is Autumn Equinox some 3 weeks from now, many people casually interpret this time to be the beginning of the fall season.

Saturn Retrograde re-entering Pisces on September 1, Mercury entering Virgo, (the sign it rules) on September 2, and Uranus turning Retrograde on September 5/6 are some of the main highlights for this transition period.

Saturn’s re-entry into Pisces indicates its final period of disintegration that began in early March 2023. Saturn will only re-enter Aries again in mid-February 2025, so for the next 5.5 months, we can expect successive waves of more disintegration of realities that were perceived as ‘norms’ and of companies and institutions that have been prominent in our times.

Since Saturn will retreat back to 25 Pisces 09 by late November, if you have planets or angles at this degree or higher, in any sign, but especially Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius, you can expect to experience the weight of Saturn to push you to let go and move on.

Have a great week!

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

Although ‘get her done’ Virgo time has begun, you are still in the mood to have fun. A clash of desires could be the result. You can find ways to play while you work to enjoy the sweet spot. Impulsiveness getting in the way of the focus to follow through is another challenge, but you can overcome it too, even if it requires overtime.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Whistling while you work on projects close to home is keeping you busy. You want to beautify more than just clean and repair, but they are all connected. Ideally, you are focused on matters that have been waiting for their turn for quite a while, as opposed to new endeavors. This is so because the new ones, at the expense of the old, could prove… expensive.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Happy to hover close to home, you still want to get things done. It’s not all about work, however, and the greater inspiration will come from exercising your creative prowess. Meanwhile, a rebellious impulse to break through stale patterns is strongly indicated. So, explore your options and try new approaches empowered by a pioneering spirit.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

A busy cycle requiring you to attend to a variety of fronts and perhaps to multitask too, continues. Positively, you are able to exercise your skills and talents and reveal your resourcefulness. As long as you are able to participate with creative licence, things should flow smoothly. The challenge includes taking a diplomatic approach to get your way.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Practical considerations continue to guide your focus. Yet, these also require a creative focus. It could amount to the discernment process of where and how to best invest or at least improve your financial flow. Fortunately, your energy levels should be running strong, supporting you to be more assertive than you might be usually.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although last week’s New Moon was in your sign, you may still be feeling a little dreamy, lost or confused regarding your focus going forward. Outlining practical plans will help. The fog will dissipate by mid-week and even prove sharper than usual. So, do what you can to prepare and be patient with your progress in the shorter term.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

A period of retreat and reflection is pulling you inward. For now, the focus on friends and who you love and perhaps why is a source of excitement. Yet, the desire to retreat will increase steadily and could afford the perfect opportunity to dive into a good book or attend to creative hobbies and interests, or to meditate or simply rest your mind.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Identifying with your sense of individuality continues. It extends to your public life and career as well. To advance your position, new tools might be required. Your focus will become increasingly strategic, but you might be confronted by inner obstacles from your own mind, like lack of clarity and uncertainty, so breaking free of these is where effort is required.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Taking new leads and strides guided by practical and realistic considerations is a central theme currently. Accessing inspired visions of creative possibility is featured. A rebellious attitude is also indicated, but could be harnessed as a resolve to succeed. Receptivity to the encouragement, guidance and moral support from significant others will help.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

The present moment is always a good time to cultivate an inspired, yet realistic vision of purpose. Just as the meaning of life is to live meaningfully, a sense of purpose is achieved by choosing to be, and live on purpose. In the highest sense, this includes relevant contributions and transcends setting and achieving personal goals.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

A deeper dive into matters, especially those involving significant others in your life, is an important theme currently. It includes some measure of creative collaboration. Positively, it will contribute to deepened intimacy in a whole, deeper and wider sense. Play with ideas, concepts and strategies before committing to any specific one is a good idea for now.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your creative, critical faculties are on the burner and will come to a full boil soon. Beyond ideas and possibilities, the deeper consideration includes the time and effort required to follow through with and fulfill your objectives. You have entered a foundation-building phase, oriented to new approaches and strategies, so be patient yet deliberate.

Tip of the Week:
The first of two consecutive New Moons in Virgo occurs today, or August 22/23, the date depending on your time zone. Of initial significance is the fact that both lunation cycles(New Moons) will occur at the critical (Anaretic) degrees of 0 and 29 of Virgo. Since there are 30 degrees in a sign and since there are 29.5 days from one New Moon to the next, this event is not entirely rare. Yet, it is still significant enough and worthy of mention and attention. The basic fact is that both lunations are anchored in Virgo, the sign of analysis and critical thinking.

Since Mercury rules Virgo, it will play a special role.

For this first lunation cycle, Mercury is in Leo. While Mercury is often challenged in Leo, it is well-aspected, supporting original thoughts and breakthroughs in perception of what is deemed ‘reality’. Generally, as a whole, the New Moon chart reveals an edgy, rebellious, or revolutionary tone and can also be deemed to be both deep, dynamic and mysterious and factual, skeptical and sobering all at the same time!

As is always true of the New Moon, where it lands in your own Birth Chart, or even the ‘solar chart’ used for Horoscopes, is the first consideration regarding its destined influence, and will be a central focus for this week’s Horoscopes.

Have a great week!

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

Fresh waves of creative thoughts and ideas inspired by and the source of critical analysis, is a central theme inspired by this New Moon. Positively, your confidence levels will be running high. However, some of your perspectives may seem radical and edgy or too lofty for realistic expression and integration. Still, enjoy the stretch of possibility thinking.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

The creative potential for this lunation cycle is strong. Yet, it remains that to harness it for its full potential, awareness and intention is the key. You might have to make extra efforts to break free from the comfort zone of your habitual perspectives. The other challenge is to know what you truly need and not simply want, and then to zero-in.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Changes close to home, probably in the way of improvements, are likely associated with this New Moon. Interactions with family and perhaps neighbors is part of the plot, as are financial interests and investments, and possibly concerns. Whatever happens, focus to reach cooperative win/win solutions, supported by emotional intelligence.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Get ready for a busy cycle requiring a clear and strong focus on your priorities going forward. Change is in the air and can be as simple as clearing the clutter. However, the reach could go deeper as with renovations and the time, energy and investments they require. Do your research to get the best quality for the best price.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

A careful consideration of your financial picture is likely during this cycle. Investments are featured, and they could be especially directed to your business, but perhaps also to your health and that of your lifestyle in general. Drawing upon hidden reserves of faith and trust in the flow might be required. Fortunately, your energy levels should be running higher than usual.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This New Moon in your sign will activate a pioneering spirit and an ambitious determination. You will take an assertive approach to increase your outreach to get more attention and expand your influence and popularity. However, you may have to concentrate to both narrow your focus and clear the cobwebs from your mind which have possibly accumulated.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

This powerful, double lunation cycle marks a time to step back from social activities and get busier with matters behind the scenes. Doing so could prove challenging, however, as others yearn for your attention and engagement, perhaps especially in your career, but socially as well. Positively, Mars in your sign is supporting an assertive resolve.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Your sights are set on the future, and you are in the mood to outline a creative strategy. You are ready for change but could feel conflicted regarding which is the lesser price, leaving things as they are or taking a leap of faith. The latter probably holds greater appeal, but to garner the courage required, some inner work is probably required.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Virgo has a strong influence on your career and social status in general and this important area of your life will get activated over the next couple of months! Returns for past efforts meanwhile, are rolling in, but the results could be mixed. Mercury in Leo currently will support you to nurture a creative vision, but you are wise to keep your focus practical and realistic.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Earthy Virgo is in your element, so this couplet of New Moons could go your way. Venus and Jupiter are beckoning you to expand your horizons with confidence. Mars is urging you to just do it. Yet, Mercury in Leo currently however, may require that you approach things cautiously and based on having done your research to decipher your best approach.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Virgo combined with your sign equates to engineering. So, stretching the word to meet your current life situation, how might you engineer needed and desired solutions? The key is to outline a plan and then refine it to be more detailed, guided by creative, critical thinking. Cooperative efforts producing synergy will likely work better than going it alone.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your ambitions are on a steady rise. Cooperation is an important keyword now and this theme trend will continue well into October anyway and will even increase yet. First, determine how you can do things better, making improvements and refinements as necessary. Your creative energies should be running strong, so tap into them with confidence.

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.

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.
