    “It is not so much a matter of who is on the world stage, (although it does matter), it is more fully a feature of our times. In other words, these dynamic trends and outer realities are all features of the human condition at this turn of history.” – Michael O’Connor


    Tip of the Week:

    Despite the lower temperatures as Autumn 2024 gets underway, things are heating up on the social, political, and global game boards.

    Given the status of planetary sign placements and aspects between them, these exciting and dramatic synchronicities are apt. All the far outer planets, including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are in one form of complex, and even complicated positions or alignments with other planets.

    Altogether, these reveal heightened tensions, especially regarding social politics and themes of justice. As an altogether moody cycle that will last throughout October, we are probably wise to anticipate things getting even crazier progressively. With a historical election race unfolding in the United States, this comes as no surprise, but it too is all a feature of these alignments, as well as a strong source of the circumstances stirring the proverbial pot of the revolutions of evolution.

    Have a great week!

    Weekly Horoscope:

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

    Life is all about relationships and that is your main focus now. A deep dive into passionate engagement whether of the pleasurable sort or the more dramatic, or both, should be quite evident by now. In any case, you are determined to get to the root of matters and you won’t likely handle interference or rejection very well.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

    A busy, creative cycle requires more attention on more fronts than usual. This naturally suggests that you have to give more than usual. Digging in deep with aims of getting to the bottom of things, or to be thorough in your efforts, are featured. Fortunately, there are indications that your energy levels are running high.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

    Virgo time is one during which even more attention than usual is directed towards home and family. Practical considerations are featured, along with subtler, psychological themes. You may have to work a little harder than usual, yet with a steady pace you will be better able to achieve your goals.

    Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

    Mars in your sign has been pushing you to be more proactive and drive harder than usual. However, it also offers the opportunity to explore new territory and to enjoy some of life’s simpler pleasures as well. Realizing the sweet spot between these contrasting themes will prove uplifting.

    Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

    A process of building upon new foundations, and or fortifying existing ones, continues. If all you do is get organized in terms of your strategic approach, you will be on track. When the Sun enters Libra a more intellectual, possibly social, and inventive mood will be activated so do what you can to prepare.

    Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

    Themes of adventures and pioneering initiatives have been guiding your choices and actions. Ironically, these can include breaking away from areas and avenues of focus that no longer hold appeal or serve your practical interests. Reconsidering your priorities includes time management and this focus will continue for several weeks.

    Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

    Although with the Sun in Virgo you have likely been inclined to retreat for a while, at least in bouts, Venus in Libra currently indicates inspirations to express yourself in original and creative ways. Yet Mars in Cancer seeks knowledge of the methods to get to go deeper yet, as with deep repairs and healing.

    Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

    Exploring new frontiers, at least in your mind, and perhaps especially regarding your own realms of thought and expression continues. This could include new friend prospects and social networks. Feeling torn between playful experiences and those that are more practical and dutiful is an ongoing balancing act.

    Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

    Virgo time generally includes thoughts and experiences regarding your public and professional life. Deciphering how to incite more attention and the kind you want is featured. Beyond practical realities, your aim now is to align that much more fully with your sense of individuality, which involves social engagement.

    Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

    Pluto back in your sign is serving to push you to attend to whatever requires final touches and actions that bring old affairs to completion. Circumstances will push you to be sober and realistic in your assessment of what mode of perception and thinking simply no longer serve. Interestingly, you are learning to unlearn.

    Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

    Virgo time is ideal for you to focus on cleaning, cleansing, and purging. Healthy improvements are central themes. Sun and Mercury in Virgo are supporting this focus. This process is associated with deep changes in you that have been percolating since spring 2023, at least. Much of the focus is directed to home and family.

    Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

    Your social outreach includes the quality or lack thereof of your engagement. The time is right to activate new strategies and to make key improvements. Sometimes, some adjustments and refinements are all that are needed. A learning curve is implied so adjust your attitude accordingly.

    “I had a relationship reading 2 years ago, and now I am thinking how accurate you were to see the relationship for what it was and to see each of us so clearly. Thank you for your reading.” ~ Hyegwi


    Tip of the Week:

    Autumn Equinox is upon us and technically occurs on September 22 at 8:44 am EDT. Casting the chart for that moment offers insights for the entire season based on a principle of fractals, which indicates that the whole can be ascertained by significant features of the parts. Observation has proven this to be true and relevant. Among the more significant factors to observe is the exact relationship between the Sun and Moon, which itself offers a fractal perspective of the whole chart. Of note is the fact that the Moon is waning in the early degrees of Gemini widely conjunct Uranus.

    The exact degree and phase of the Moon reveal themes of high levels of skepticism, leading people to think critically and conduct their own research on matters, further emphasized by Mercury in Virgo and Mars in Cancer. This can include delving into deeper levels of metaphysical and spiritual truth as well as those associated with social politics.

    With a strong Pisces factor involved, possible themes of mass deception are part of the plot.

    Venus and Pluto both at the critical 29th degree of Libra and Capricorn respectively, basically imply themes of overcoming.

    Fasten your seatbelts, folks, the ride is about to get wilder, as truth seekers push to see through deceptions and make efforts to engage others in their findings.

    Weekly Horoscope:

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

    A deliberate focus on relationship fronts will become increasingly evident this week. Dealing with deeper complexities than usual will lead you to want to dive in and seek out root themes and causes with ardent ambition, determination, and drive.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

    Get ready to push harder than usual for the truth of love and the love of truth. Your creative, critical thinking cap is on and you will be making full use of it. Determined to focus on a variety of fronts, things could get a bit hectic and scattered, so aim to be organized.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

    The Sun in Libra tends to be a creative cycle for you. Yet, it could also prove somewhat dramatic. Venus in Scorpio will add to the drama requiring you to give more than you perhaps want to. You are probably wise to slow down a bit and curb expectations.

    Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

    A dynamic cycle is underway and will accelerate yet. While many will be struggling with Venus in Scorpio, it stands to lend a passionate, playful, and inspirational verve to the plot. With Mars firmly anchored in your sign, you will probably need creative outlets to release the pressure.

    Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

    A more varied and stimulating social cycle is starting and will last several weeks. There is a creative impulse, but it could require that you tie up loose ends and unfinished projects, clear the clutter, and purge as necessary to release stagnant energies.

    Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

    Paying closer attention to your overall balance score is likely over the coming weeks. Your focus will likely include a variety of fronts, from finances to energy levels and health to relationship boundaries. With Mercury in your sign, your focus is sharp supporting precision.

    Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

    The Sun in your sign will boost your energy levels and lead to whole new initiatives over the coming weeks. Financial matters will play a lead role. Pushing ahead in your public and professional life is featured. It may be time to assert yourself in ways you have not before.

    Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

    Get ready to get busier behind the scenes. While this is often a time for retreat, it could amount to a busier cycle than usual. As well, your retreat could emerge to become an adventure as you are called to enter new territory. The more you acknowledge your core sense of individuality, the better.

    Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

    Who are your friends, who are not, and who could perhaps be? A social mood vies with deeper considerations about what you feel you truly as opposed to simply want or desire. With your ambitions running strong, you could push through prior obstacles, or get away from it all

    Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

    Sometimes life can seem like three steps forward and 2, 3, or even 4 steps back. Perception and interpretation are relative so focus on seeing the positives so that if you are stepping back, you are still one step ahead. Still, you may have to meet people and situations with an added edge.

    Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

    Libra time is often one during which you step back to see a bigger picture, as with admiring the beauty of the season. This year, deeper ambitions that are already brewing are leading you to assume different attitudes and approaches to familiar orientations.

    Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

    Some cycles require deeper changes than others and you are just entering one now. Positively, these will lead to the breakthroughs you feel you want and need. With your energies running a little higher than usual and a lingering playful mood, focus on harnessing it to productive ends.

Your insights have helped me to navigate with ease (less frustration) and yes, especially more grace.+ ~ BrigitteTip of the Week:
    ​This last official week of summer begins with the Moon waxing towards a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 25 Pisces 41 on September 17. Although it will technically only be a ‘partial eclipse’, it will carry more weight and influence than a usual Full Moon.​Generally, the mood of the partially eclipsed Full Moon, due to the influences of watery Pisces combined with both Saturn and Neptune also in Pisces, will at best manifest as a dreamy and mystical mood, yet negatively it could feel heavy and depressing. While we can choose to be positive, we will be contending with these influences, so use this opportunity to be aware and observe the synchronicities.​Yet, its specific, destined influence depends on how exactly it is situated in any given person’s Birth Chart. This is always true of any event like an eclipse or any planetary activity for that matter. Horoscopes offer a middle ground so to speak, since they refer to entire groups of people. The “Sun Signs” of Horoscopes are like the politics that influences an entire nation. It is real and has an impact, yet it is not as strong as other more local factors, for example, metaphorically speaking.​There are 1 or 2 other signs you can also read associated with your Sun Sign which can be determined if you know your time of birth. Ironically, knowing the exact time of birth is not necessary for having a ‘good’, meaning relevant, practical and useful or clarifying and empowering Reading of your Birth Chart, yet it will not be as clear or exact if the time of birth is known.​Have a great week!​Michael​michael@sunstarastrology.com

    “Thank you for your brilliant coaching! I appreciate your honesty and careful approach regarding giving advice. Your guidance helps me to find my own way, yet with greater confidence and with better tools than I had before.” – Elin


    Tip of the Week:

    Summer is in its final stretch and officially ends with Autumn Equinox on September 22. The waxing of the Moon since its recent seed event for yet another cycle that began on September 2 comes to a Full Moon in Pisces on September 17 as the Harvest Moon, and due to its close proximity to Earth in its elliptical orbit it will appear large and epic as a so-called Super Moon.

    Meanwhile, Mercury remains in Leo where at worst, it has been busy stirring intrigue and upset on relationship fronts.

    Yet, Virgo’s influence indicates themes of completion, resolution, and healing.

    Mercury joining the Sun in the sign of Virgo ‘the Virgin’ which is accurately understood as symbolic of resourcefulness, self-sufficiency, and wholesomeness, will contribute to the process.

    So, tune in and cooperatively co-create to harness this influence according to the rhythms and realities of your world.

    Have a great week!

    Weekly Horoscope:

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

    This could amount to the last call on the summer. Although there technically remain a couple of weeks, beyond the weather alone, the shift can be understood as Mercury entering practical, analytical, earthy Virgo. Combined with other factors, back to work you go, so enjoy this last blast.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

    Weaving creativity into your work is a core aspiration and is especially strong these days. This trend will end soon so make the necessary effort to get it in this week. If you do, the momentum could see you through the month and maybe longer. ‘When’ we initiate does matter, and the time is now.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

    Directing your focus to the home front will prove extra satisfying now. Use this inspiration to tackle projects that have been waiting for their time. These are completion projects, the ones that have been pushed to the side due to other priorities. You will likely be able to handle larger tasks with relative ease.

    Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

    The busy bee is getting busier with beautifying. Your home is your canvas. Creating a more secure and stable base is a beautiful thing too. Either way, your goal includes feeling inspired and confident. A bold, determined and edgy mood can be harnessed to push through obstacles.

    Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

    Investments of your time, energy, and focus, continues. The energy part could include money. A steady learning curve is also indicated. An inventive, experimental approach might prove to work best. You will also very soon experience an increased demand on your time and attention. Get ready to be busy behind the scenes.

    Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

    Initiative, increase, and expansion are keywords for you now. Your finances could improve measurably over the coming months. The increase could also touch upon creative abilities and your spiritual focus too. Yet, to succeed, you will have to make deliberate efforts with discipline and follow through.

    Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

    A deep dive into the hidden layers of your mind is calling you within. This summons will get progressively louder over the coming weeks. On the other hand, an assertive drive in your professional life could include training. Whether you are giving or receiving, the ability to concentrate more than usual could be required.

    Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

    Exploring new aspects of your sense of individuality continues. It includes an adventurous determination to confront limitations and obstructions, whether within or without. Returns for past efforts, or the liabilities of the lack thereof, are rolling in quickly now revealing the quality and effectiveness of your efforts.

    Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

    Advancing your position, publicly and/or professionally is in the spotlight. This trend will continue and deepen. While what you know matters, who you know could have more leverage at this time. Be willing to socialize, fraternize, and aim to meet new people who can help further your interests and ambitions

    Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

    Increase and expansion is going on everywhere these days and you are getting your share too. Some of it is due to other old stuff getting cleared. It may feel like you are melting at this time. But if you are impatient and are trying to force things, to push the proverbial river, you may well undergo a meltdown. Plan now to go big later.

    Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

    You too are destined to dig deep now. This process has been underway for a couple of weeks already and will continue for a couple more. Yet, you are beginning to see a new light like a bright shining star in your sky. It will get brighter yet, especially later this month and in October. It may well be calling you out to venture far.

    Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

    A steady increase on relationship fronts continues. Returns and rewards are featured. Yet, you will have to work for them, faithfully, diligently, and creatively. If you can gain a lot from the process itself you will already be richly rewarded. In other words, there is much to do and it could even result in mastery.

    “Accurate & clear – you’ll be glad you get the chance to work with him!” – Ian


    Tip of the Week:

    Summer’s end for many, at least psychologically as students return to school, coincides with a series of events astrologically. These include a Virgo New Moon on September 1.

    Mercury turned direct on August 28 after its triannual retrograde cycle which included a complex bout in Leo, where it is generally regarded as… challenging.

    Venus entered its own ruling sign of Libra on August 29 which should also prove uplifting and socially stimulating.

    Mars will enter Cancer where it can prove quite edgy on September 5.

    Uranus takes its turn to retrograde starting on September 1, just hours before Pluto, also retrograde, re-enters Capricorn.

    Uranus at 27 Taurus will retreat as it retrogrades to 23 Taurus by late January 2025 – so if you have planets in this range, especially in Taurus, Leo, Aquarius, or Scorpio, you will likely be pushed to make or adapt to changes associated with unusual or unexpected turns.

    Pluto will hover at the 29th degree of Capricorn until November 19 so if you have planets at or near this degree, you can expect the inner impulse (or outer push) to purge and/or change your approach somehow.

    Understanding the full spectrum of types of questions you can ask based on areas of focus I cover is outlined in this short video: Learn more HERE.

    Weekly Horoscope:

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
    While the theme of balancing work and play continues, a whole new level of inspiration on relationship fronts is rolling in. On the downside, you are about to get busier. This includes a diving urge to get to the bottom of things, which could include a renovation project or two. Yet the focus could be on your attitude.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
    A creative drive continues to guide your focus. The need to give more has become a noticeable theme and it too continues. Deepening desires on relationship fronts are part of the plot and are partly where the extra give will go. Positively, your confidence levels are steadily rising, even though you are busier.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
    Attending to practical matters enters its next and deeper phase now. This could simply include having everything you need for various adventures that are calling you out. Things could get a little more serious before the week is out regarding health considerations and what you need to do to feel strong.

    Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
    A busier cycle or at least contending with more on your mind of late continues. A turn of focus to create more beauty and harmony close to home is part of the plot. This could require you to become more assertive with matters and perhaps certain people as well. Just be careful not to overdo it with aggression.

    Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
    Practical considerations are that much more emphasized for you now than others. Yet, the twist is that the best way to tackle them could well require some measure of inner work. This can include changing your perspective, attitude, reasoning, or approach, or all the above. Nothing personal, it is simply time, and your first main task is to consciously cooperate with the process. By doing so, answers will emerge.

    Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
    The New Moon in your sign will activate a whole new burst of energy, determination, and drive. Inspirations to enter new territory will also become apparent and if you do, you will likely make progress. You may have to push against the grain somehow, which could include those of habitual beliefs and self-concepts.

    Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
    Venus entering your sign will likely inspire you to express yourself in new and appealing ways. This could require new skills and/or tools. Yet, you might also feel the urge to retreat for a while. Combining these factors, the time is right to focus on personal development and acquisition of knowledge and training.

    Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
    Everyone will feel and notice the array of planetary shifts that will occur this week. What could prove most noticeable for you is the desire to be more independent and authentic to how you feel. In other regards, you could experience an ardent push for freedom that could prove revolutionary.

    Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
    Fresh starts on public and professional fronts could be a source of inspiration, but also possibly of stress. Making key moves is indicated and doing so might require discipline and resolve. You should be prepared to put in the extra time and effort. Fortunately, your ambition levels will rise starting this week.

    Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
    A whole new perspective is emerging in your mind. This includes the bigger picture over the longer term. A steadily rising realization that you will have to get to the bottom of matters is featured. This could include taking approaches that you did not previously even consider. New tools and skills may be required.

    Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
    A cycle of change and transformation is underway. It could prove subtle or obvious, but it has already begun and will continue and even deepen due to the influences of the new lunar cycle. This could prove true, especially on relationship fronts. Venus and Jupiter will prove helpful, so you are protected.

    Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
    New activations on relationship fronts are destined and these could prove quite fruitful indeed. Perhaps the biggest challenge will be to be willing to give more than you might have planned. Fortunately, your confidence levels are holding strong, and this supporting factor will help smooth out any edges.

His knowledge of astrology is extensive, but he is also highly intuitive, and conducts his consultations with a Holistic approach. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone seeking a higher level of guidance on any important issue.” – Leah


    Tip of the Week:

    The Sun entered Virgo on August 22. Although summer still officially has a month to go, many tend to deem it to end along with August or at most by Labor Day. As it is, this coming week is eventful, astrologically.

    Mercury comes to an apparent stop and then resumes forward motion on August 28 after a few weeks of retrograde motion.

    On September 1st, Uranus will turn retrograde and Pluto will re-enter Capricorn for the last time.

    With these reversals, we can expect the same in the outer world somehow. This is especially true on the larger stage. With Uranus and Pluto now forming a creative and inspiring Trine aspect (120 degrees) and both forming a social, intellectual, and awareness-oriented Sextile (60-degree aspect) to Neptune, there is an emphasis on spiritual awakening and seeing through the relative illusion of it all.

    This refers to both the notion that existence itself is not as solid as it appears, and to the antics of propaganda, to use illusions to convince people of fabricated notions of reality. This process will figure strongly in the Age of Aquarius, and it has emerged to a significant level already, as with the technologies of modern moviemaking, CGI, and AI. While the entertainment prospects of this are wonderful, the social and political prospects are much more serious.

    On more personal levels, Mercury resuming its forward motion will contribute to a feeling of greater flow, if within the context of Virgo which tends to activate a back-to-work mood. In this regard, the remaining weeks of summer can feel like a bonus for some, especially those living above the 40th parallel.

    Have a great week!

    Weekly Horoscope:

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
    A weave of work and play is the mood now. You would not be alone if you are experiencing the need to persevere in some critical areas requiring follow-through. This theme could also be described as a breakthrough, as in busting through both literally and figuratively with barriers in your mind and attitude.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
    Virgo time harmonizes well with your sign. It invites a creative and playful approach. With Mars and Jupiter in Gemini, you could feel like a very busy bee, and a determined one too. Covering a lot of ground on a variety of fronts is your overall desire currently, but doing so has been intercepted, until now.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
    Virgo can be described as your ‘home’ sign. It is that factor that supports you to be practical and realistic, even strategically frugal to maintain a balance between your Gemini dreams and reality. Fortunately, Jupiter and Mars in your sign currently are a boost to your morale and energy levels.

    Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
    The influences of Virgo tend to produce busy cycles for you. While this is true for many of late due to Mars and Jupiter in Gemini, their influence on you could prove more internal than external. Positively, you will feel inspired and able to harness their influence to do some needed inner work to… refine your mind.

    Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
    Aligning with the practical focus of Virgo comes quite naturally to you. Your sign can be described as the ‘practical fire sign’. Pushing through inner and outer restrictions is part of the plot currently. Fortunately, with Mercury in your sign, you could feel even more creative than usual. Tune in to make the most of it.

    Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
    When the Sun enters your own sign, the tendency is to feel energized with pioneering determination. However, if you are born later in the sign, this feeling can prove delayed. In fact, you could feel more inclined to retreat. If so, use this time to plan and recharge, and trust the flow.

    Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
    Although the Virgo cycle is not known to be a strong one for you, other factors are compensating, in fact probably very well. An adventurous impulse lingers, perhaps finding you away from familiar territory and enjoying the stimulation of new energies, places, and people. This trend will continue so stretch into it.

    Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
    Aligning with a fuller sense of your individuality comes supported by an impulse to be more independent is in focus. Yet, you may feel that you have arrived at something of a crossroads. It could even be described as a soul-searching process, even a dark night. A firm grip on practical reality will guide you well.

    Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
    Virgo is the sign that closely aligns with your public and professional life. It can be understood as a civilizing factor that helps you keep the wild impulses of the centaur from galloping away into the wilderness forever more. Besides, the marketplace offers more… stuff, easier than you can obtain out there.

    Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
    Virgo time will likely feel like a fresh breath of air. Yet, with Mercury still retrograde and in Leo, you are not out of the murky waters, yet. As helpful as the Mars/Jupiter combo in Gemini is for many, it is pushing you to work harder, both literally and on having faith that the world is not coming to an end.

    Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
    Virgo time can prove transformational for you. Positively, the process can include purging, clearing, and cleansing, leaving you feeling lighter and renewed. The key is to cooperate with the rhythmic flow. Mars and Jupiter in Gemini should be synchronizing with a more animated and playful mood of late that continues…

    Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
    Fresh stimulations on relationship fronts will keep you busy for the next several weeks. In fact, the overall dynamic will both increase and deepen. Thanks to your confidence levels steadily rising, your engagements will likely prove stimulating and satisfying overall, if a bit edgy at times.
