“This is seriously the best reading I have ever received in my life. I have had previous astrology readings and nothing compares to the guidance, inspiration, and validation I received from Michael today. I am totally mind blown with the accuracy of the information I received.” ~ Neena

Tip of the Week:

Sunday, August 4 is special because on that day there will be a New Moon at 12 Leo 33, Mercury in Virgo will turn retrograde, and Venus will enter Virgo.

By August 7, Mercury and Venus will form a conjunction to begin a new cycle between the two inner planets.

While the implications are many-layered, as usual, we can trace some of their emphasis and destined influence simply by how they are positioned in our own personal Solar Charts as determined by our Sun Sign, which is how Horoscopes work, based on principles of holism and fractals.

So, this week’s Horoscope will emphasize these themes for each sign.

Have a great week!

Michael

Weekly Horoscope:

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
The Leo New Moon aligns favorably with your Sun Sign. It will inspire you to let your inner child out to play. However, it is also symbolically associated with themes of ‘let go and let God’. The Mercury/Venus/Virgo factor will challenge you to think critically and engage diplomatically.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
This New Moon cycle will bring extra emphasis to changes close to home. Creative improvements are also indicated, and these could require more effort and investment than you want. Get ready to be busy on a variety of fronts and in ways that push you to address core needs.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
New perspectives about your place in the world and your sense of responsibility will be activated by this New Moon. You should be prepared to ‘pay your dues’ somehow. This could amount to simply getting clear on meaningful contributions that feel important.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Getting clear on your priorities continues and deepens due to this New Moon. Circumstances will guide you to take a philosophical approach and to be open to new knowledge, which could even alter existing notions, quite considerably. The challenge includes widening your scope of reality.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
This New Moon in your sign is destined to spark new beginnings and initiatives. These are associated with a process of deep changes within you, which will have a metamorphic effect. The results of it will take 12-18 months, so aim to identify them and engage faithfully and cooperatively.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
The New Moon will serve to trigger new levels of resolve and commitment to new knowledge. It includes deep dives to further reaches than you have ever achieved before. Fortunately, the activated Virgo factor is quite in your favor, but you should be ready to earn it with diligent efforts.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Leo is your friendly sign so the New Moon there will bring extra attention to this aspect of your life. Positively, existing friendships will deepen, you could make new friends, and there is the possibility that some friendships could simply seem to dissolve. The key is to trust the flow and avoid over-analysis.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Leo is the sign closely associated with your social status and career orientation. In this regard, you aspire to create a niche somehow, or more specifically, target a career in the arts or at least one that includes creativity. The time is right to dream and realistically assess the possibilities.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The Leo lunar seed will inspire new adventures. The inner challenge associated is that to answer the call, you may have to identify and confront certain lingering fears. The key to doing so is to also project into the future to determine the price of procrastination or the rewards you stand to achieve.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Leo is a somewhat complex sign for you. It tends to indicate what and how you need to purge persistent ego patterns that simply are not good for you. This requires increasing your capacity for self-honesty and the discipline and determination to identify and break from unhealthy habits.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
Leo is your polar opposite sign and features strongly in your relationship life. So, this New Moon is destined to synchronize with new encounters and experiences. Given the Virgo factor, it might be wise to exercise discernment and take the time for others to earn your trust before deepening commitments.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Leo is directly associated with themes and realities associated with your lifestyle and specifically that associated with healthy habits or lack thereof. So, expect to bring extra emphasis to the fore inspired by the reality that healthy is the true beautiful and it feels good too. P.S. Commit to the steps you need to take.

“Hi Micheal, I can’t thank you enough for our session. It wasn’t at all what I expected and completely blew me away! I feel different ever since. Like something has been woken up inside myself and I see things differently and I feel different. The surface has only been scratched and what you showed me are things I’ve never even considered or been able to see or identify. Thank you.” ~ Paula

Tip of the Week:

Mars conjunct Uranus on July 15 (see last week’s Tip) manifested in accordance with its predicted probability, with the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

The synchronicity of any planetary dynamics and aspects is a constant, but most go unnoticed. In other words, randomness is a relative illusion. Of course, in the complex flow of life, it is naturally perceived as such, since trying to predict every event neither makes sense.

The main point, however, is that the future is indeed probable, yet never certain, especially when free-will-wielding humans are involved. Ironically, free-will can be understood as a chaos factor, a disruption of the otherwise significantly higher probability.

In other news, assertive Mars enters energetic and animated Gemini on July 20, the Sun enters playful, passionate Leo on July 22, and Mercury enters critical analysis Virgo on July 25/26.

So, pay attention to notice the shifting dynamics and their synchronicities this coming week.

Weekly Horoscope:

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Leo time is calling you out to play and Mercury, at least for the next few days, is chiming in. Venus there lends a sexy and passionate impulse. Mars in Gemini will add to the excitement and should manifest as a rise in your energy levels. Tune in to this fun factor while it lasts.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Leo plays a significant role in your life as the sign that sits at the root position in your solar chart. This suggests Leo influences you at your very core, manifesting as a deeply proud and stubborn factor. With Mercury, Venus, and the Sun there, family time is in the spotlight.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Leo time tends to prove extra fun for you, amplifying your airy, solar nature. This is extra true now with Mercury and Venus there, but don’t delay because this timestamp is temporary. With expansive Jupiter in your sign getting amplified by Mars, this is a high cycle.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
You thrive on inspiration derived from playful and sporting adventures, and this theme is extra strong now. However, it might seem like something is holding you back. Perhaps low-lying worries or lack of faith are valid, but it could be that you are simply thinking too much. Get in the game!

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
This is your time, and it implies taking a creative lead. Supported by Mercury and Venus too, your sense of excitement is even higher. Mars in Gemini could well manifest as a rebellious impulse. Positively, you will be able to direct the heightened energy to joyful ends.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
A strong creative theme is present, yet the emphasis is more behind the scenes where few others will notice. Yet, the prospects of achieving long-standing goals are present and this trend will continue. You could get a lot done over the next couple of months, squeezing in a get-away, or two.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
A whole new sense of individuality is steadily emerging in you and there are indications that you are quite excited about it. The time has come to create new stories, dreams, and memories. Adventure is also indicated, and the time is right to also explore distant lands and shores.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Your public and professional life is in the spotlight. If you have been wanting more attention and acknowledgement, based on earned recognition, this is a good time to get it. With rewards from past efforts rolling in and your ambitions steadily rising, this could prove to be your break-away opportunity.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The deep dive cycle is done and now is the time for more fun in the sun. It won’t take too much coaxing for you to engage in any and every bit of cultural opportunity available. Yet, do it now, for the approaching Virgo energy will redirect your focus to sober and practical realities, once again.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
So, some cycles are deeper than others, and yes, they can require some measure of purging, and yes, it is also true that themes of death and rebirth or transformation are implied. The key is to engage consciously to make it work for you as opposed to against. Work now, shine soon!

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
Your social life is about to get a boost. It could simply amount to more quality time shared with the one(s) you love. Yet, a rising spirit of adventure will inspire you to venture out, beyond familiar boundaries and borders to explore new people and places that will support you to see the world anew.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Directing more attention to your health and that of your lifestyle in general is in focus. This trend will both continue and deepen over the coming weeks. Positively, you could activate a whole new upward spiral. You will be pushed to get to the root cause of issues, which will take extra effort.

“Some Astrologers and enthusiasts have been predicting violent events associated with the conjunction between Mars and Uranus due to a close alignment with the Fixed Star Algol. Knowing where the outer manifestations will occur and how exactly, requires a clear and strong focus on individual charts, again of individual persons or places.” ~ Michael O’Connor

Tip of the Week:

The Sun in the third decant of Cancer hosts a dreamy, imaginative, meditative Piscean energy theme that will continue for the next 10 days or so, until the Sun enters Leo on July 22.

With Neptune currently in Pisces, where it is in honor, this theme is further emphasized. That said, Neptune is also symbolically associated with hurricanes and tidal waves.

Saturn in Pisces is also playing a supporting role to this overall theme, yet technically it is not so well aligned with the practical, earthy aspirations of Taurus. While Pisces is ethereal and inclined to formlessness, and even of disintegration, the Mars-Uranus conjunction in Taurus aspires to achieve a more practical and stable, if complex result.

This conjunction between Mars and Uranus on July 15 in Taurus, activating a 2-year cycle producing an unpredictable and rebellious alliance, shares association with both Neptune and Saturn.

The Moon in Scorpio during the conjunction on July 15, and in close alliance with Pisces adds some deep, hidden underwater influences that could be described as volcanic, and carries the torque of plate tectonic shifting magnitude!

So, while the call to fun in the Sun will be heeded by many, much is stirring that is hidden and could be deemed sudden and significantly eventful. Yes, this is a complex dynamic, as is illustrated by the above technical analysis.

Have a great week!

Michael

Weekly Horoscope:

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
A little more playtime and fun in the Sun has been the theme of late, perhaps even a few little getaway adventures have uplifted your spirit. While there is an impulse to get back to business, a counterforce to just let go and let God for a while longer is also present. Taking it slow at least could be the sweet spot.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Keeping busy on a variety of fronts has been a prevailing theme since spring. It has included the assertion of new initiatives requiring you to push through resistance or obstruction – both within and without. This theme flow associated with bringing more attention to your gifts, talents, and skills continues and will get stronger yet.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Getting clearer on what you need versus simply want is an important lingering influence. Your sense of individuality is emphasized and includes your artistic interests, along with being there, with, and for, significant others in your life. Get creative or bring attention to the intricate beauty of nature, along with recognition of what makes you and others special.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Taking new leads has become an important focus since the New Moon in your sign. In its waxing phase currently, the momentum has steadily increased. Emphasis on your sense of artistry or creative leadership is indicated and features a strong streak of individuality and innovation. Avoid excessive analysis and enjoy the process.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Inclined to linger behind the scenes in your home, office, or studio…, bringing your time, energy, and attention to creative projects and simple activities that bring you joy, and pleasure is emphasized now. It could well prove quite productive yet require training or instruction to meet the tasks associated with new skills.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Bringing extra emphasis to your sense of individuality and perhaps also to your creative genius is in the spotlight. Much of the work is probably occurring in private and all being well you are on a creative roll. These efforts do share association with your public and professional life, and stand to prove transformational, ushering you to new levels of confidence.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
If you have been seeking extra attention and acknowledgement, you are in the zone now. The key is to bring attention to your distinctiveness and what makes you unique and special. An added measure of assertion is indicated and is supported by an ardent ambition. Bring attention to both the bigger picture and the many advantages, for best results.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You have entered something of a philosophical mood. This could include shifting your perspective to see things differently. With a variety of options regarding your approach, it appears that the key is to look for the sweet spot between. A creative influence is present and will prove extra satisfying if directed to practical and professional fronts.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The deep plunge into mystic waters continues. It could simply amount to a somewhat dreamy or perhaps escapist mood. Ironically, your social life has likely been expanding steadily and you have been eager to get the most out of the associated newly emerging cultural advantages. Overcoming these conflicting pulls may simply amount to time management.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Some extra attention has been directed to your relationship life, perhaps especially with family members. There are some indications of complex factors associated with changing values and priorities that have, and continue to emerge somewhat unexpectedly. Adjusting your daily rhythm seems to be the time-honored solution.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
An emphasis on health and nutrition towards improvement and new levels of refinement has emerged as an important focus. The process implied required a creative and cooperative approach. In some respects, you are being pushed to dig deep to get to the bottom of things. This could imply a deep cleanse to purge and rebuild.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
A creative influence continues to inspire your focus. The activities implied may require more effort and critical thinking than you anticipated. Fortunately, your energy levels are probably holding strong, and you are in the mood to tackle projects requiring new and perhaps innovative approaches. Intend to pay close attention to the details.

“Michael holds a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and intuition and uses all of these attributes in his offerings! I’ve received personal readings and guidance from him and have followed him for many years! He’s a member of my personal spiritual “team” and I always find a gift in what he shares with the world!” – Lizzie

Tip of the Week:

The New Moon occurs today at 6:47 EDT and at 14 Cancer 23. It does so in close proximity to Venus all of which are in harmonious aspects to Mars and Saturn.

The lunar rhythms can prove complicated at times, despite the actual weather. So, moods are affected by both the cyclic round of the Moon in its progressive phases and aspects made to other planets, along with the weather which is more fully a factor of Earth’s various geographical locations based on longitude and latitude and the respective variations in climate throughout the world. Observing the Moon in its monthly 29.5-day cycle from one New Moon to the next is more than interesting, it can prove to be a very practical guide as well.

As it is, aside from the occasional, off-chance notice of a Full Moon, most people are quite unaware and oblivious to this cyclic process, let alone the sign it is in and its phase. Assured that the Moon does not have any relevant influence, people commonly dismiss it as though only naïve and gullible people ‘believe such things’, their focus directed to ‘the news’ and other such important intrigues. Is it any wonder that the world has fallen out of tune with nature? The results are quite evident, as chemtrails, for example, crisscross the sky daily influencing the weather, officially denied for many years, but is now openly admitted, as with various geoengineering technologies, but it seems few even notice. As the world turns, and the Moon cycles…

I would love to hear back regarding your relatively recent experiences and observations regarding my Weekly Horoscopes. Do they ‘work for you’? Do you feel like they help you to align with the lunar rhythms? Are there any questions you would like to ask? Send me an email – michael@sunstarastrology.com

This is also the time of year when I offer my Annual Client Appreciation Sale, which amounts to some considerable savings. Whether you are ready for some relevant insight and guidance now, and/or you want to pay it forward, (since any time purchased never expires), or you want to give someone you care about a gift, now is the time to do it!

Weekly Horoscope:

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
This lunation cycle seeded in nurturing and family-oriented Cancer will hit close to home, both literally and figuratively. It implies new developments and changes that are likely to keep you busy. The pace has probably already been quite accelerated as you attend to more fronts than usual. Fortunately, Mercury in Leo is supporting a sporting attitude.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Upon reflection, it should become obvious that much of your thinking and mode of perception significantly surrounds family. You might think this is true for everyone, but not to the same degree. Creative thinking to ever make improvements in one way or another is as consistent as the orbit of the Moon, and this theme is getting amplified now.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Making efforts to increase your overall sense of security is in the spotlight, with the Sun in Cancer and even more so thanks to this New Moon. To this end, your creative wheels are turning progressively faster. Ironically, among the best strategies is to take care of yourself and this includes tending to your emotional state, which is best done by way of creative activities.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Naturally, the New Moon in your own sign is extra special and significant. It implies an impulse to take new initiatives. Some of these are likely to occur in the privacy of your own home, or even in that of your own mind. Expressing your feelings is featured and could manifest as literal words shared or in the way of art.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Changes close to home and with family are being seeded by the New Moon. These will likely produce some measure of excitement, yet also perhaps complexity and moodiness. You may get some reminders of whether you are getting your needs met by current realities. There is a social element at play, and it will pull on your otherwise inclination to remain in the nest.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Getting more attention publicly and professionally continues. You are destined to undergo what can be described as a process of contracted expansion. The contracted part implies sincere effort. This includes homework, at least a fair amount of behind-the-scenes activity. Positively, you are enjoying an innovative process aligned with your sense of individuality.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
New beginnings in your overall social status affecting your home and family advance to the next level this week. There are some positive support factors at play that involve travel and adventure. You could even be shopping around for a new career, home and/or lifestyle altogether. Since health themes are prominent, these are motivating factors.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Seeing a bigger picture with a visionary perspective on your future continues. Being true to your core sense of individuality is part of the plot and could require self-reflection to identify more fully. Self-honesty is a keyword for your success which includes being your own best friend. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt and vote for yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The deep dive you were compelled to take a couple of weeks ago now requires you to go even deeper. The goal is to access what you feel you truly need beyond all orientations to sacrifice and thereby deny these for the sake of others. Whatever your rationale, be careful not to yield too much lest the imbalance tips you overboard unprepared.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Who do you love and why? Answering such questions need not be difficult but could be if you convinced yourself that you do not need such feelings. The good news is that you get to remember and acknowledge the significant others in your life, which usually brings happy returns. Think with your heart and feel with your mind.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
Adjustments, improvements, and outright changes in your daily rhythm and perhaps even lifestyle are underway. At least you are engaged in discussions about these matters with significant others. Fortunately, you are in a creative, playful, sporting, and adventurous mood so you are in a good place to entertain the possibilities.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
With your confidence levels steadily rising, you are in the mood to make some bold moves. Or at least you are willing to give serious consideration to doing so. You will experience a growing determination to get to the bottom of things. Yet doing so will require a healthy measure of creative, and constructively critical thinking.

“Thank you so much for the reading. You knew so much about what was happening in my life. With your advice, I feel more confident and relaxed to continue my journey, on my own condition. And thank you for all the helping tools, so I can reach my goals. With love from Elin.” Oslo Norway

Tip of the Week:

The Waning Moon will begin a new round with a New Moon on July 5. This means that both Canada and the United States will have this waning factor present in their respective Solar Return Charts on July 1 and the 4th.

The return of the Sun to the exact degree it was at birth, equating to the signature moment (or when the nation was born in this case), offers remarkable insight into the year ahead. It is that much clearer for actual individuals admittedly, due to the complexities associated with an entire nation, yet the principle is the same.

On a personal level, it strongly indicates the focus of the year, the main themes at play, the opportunities and the challenges, and their timing. The value of this kind of insight can prove quite empowering indeed, both in terms of strategic planning and realistic assessments, not to mention the age-old notion of ‘forewarned is forearmed’.
