#270 - Weekly Energy Update for June 18, 2023: Summer Solstice and Cancer Season

The Summer Solstice, on Wednesday, is the main event this week. For millennia, people have held celebrations, rituals, and gatherings in celebration of the summer solstice. Ancient civilizations erected buildings that coincide with the solstice, such as Stonehenge and Machu Picchu. The solstice is a time of renewal, growth, and abundance. 
The summer solstice is a cosmic invitation to step into the spotlight of your own life. It’s a moment when the universe supports your personal growth and transformation. 
This year's solstice is extraordinary due to a special connection between the sun and the north node of fate. These are two of the most crucial placements in astrology when it comes to fulfilling your life’s purpose. When the sun and north node align, as they will with 2023’s summer solstice, it’s a sign from the universe to bet on yourself.
The solstice is also when the sun enters Cancer and the start of Cancer season. Cancer season brings nurturing, homebody energy as we move away from the busy, social vibes of Gemini season. It’s all about heart and home and it’s the ideal moment to mother yourself and others. This is cosmic mama energy!
The Sun is associated with active yang energy. The contradiction is that Cancer is ruled by the emotional moon and rules the receptive yin energy. This makes it the perfect time to consider how we can balance the yin and yang in our lives. Where are you able to be a bit kinder?  Where could you yang it up and be more decisive and take action?
The solstice is like our cosmic reset button. This is our opportunity to hit the reset button and get back in balance!

#269 - Weekly Energy Update for June 4, 2023: Sagittarius Full Moon and Venus in Leo

June is one of the most positive months of the year. The intense eclipse season and Mercury retrograde are behind us, so this month's energy shift brings in a new and exciting beginning to our next chapter.
Since connections with others are a major feature this month, it is appropriate that June is named after the Roman goddess Juno, who was the patroness of marriage and love. June's energy links us to others in heart-centered ways since it straddles both the caring Cancer season and the sociable Gemini season. We want to socialize with others, spend time with friends, go on dates, and find love.
On June 5th, when Venus, the planet of love, moves into the fire sign Leo, this love energy truly comes to life. This is the perfect energy for falling and being in love this summer.
And we are still basking in the optimistic energy of Saturday night’s full moon in Sagittarius. 
Full moons are a time of release. We’re releasing our outdated versions. We’re releasing ways of thinking and being that we’ve outgrown. This full moon is about looking back on where we were six months ago and how far we’ve come. And to think about the future and consider what’s next.
With the help of this full moon, we can let go of the version of ourselves from six months ago and step into our new identity. This full moon is preparing us for our next quest. We are getting rid of items that won't fit in our baggage or backpack as we prepare for the quest. We're releasing things that won't be needed on the journey.
This full moon gives us the confidence to move forward. We feel so optimistic about the future and where we’re going!

#268 - Weekly Energy Update for May 28, 2023: Full Moon in Sagittarius

These final few days of May are special. The Sun crosses the star Aldebaran every year between May 28 and May 31. Aldebaran is one of the Four Royal Stars. The Royal Stars serve as both the guardians of the sky and gateways to higher realms of consciousness. When the Sun activates Aldebaran it sharpens our minds. This energy is sweet, sweet medicine for our mental health.
We begin the abundant and happy month of June this week. According to numerology, June is a 4 universal month. A four month is about laying the groundwork for the future. We’re building the base and foundation for this next chapter of our life.
On Saturday, June 3rd, we feel uplifted by a Full Moon in Sagittarius. This is the last full moon of spring and it’s known as the Strawberry Moon. The Strawberry Moon is a symbol of good luck, happiness, and growth. And serves as a reminder that there will always be better days ahead no matter what difficulties we face in life.
Sagittarius is an optimistic sign that only wants to focus on the positives. This Full Moon is much lighter than the ones we’ve experienced recently. It holds a playful vibe, reminding us to make time for fun, joy, and adventure. Step out of your comfort zone and try some new things. 
Unlike a New Moon, which is about starting something new, the Full Moon is about reflecting on what we planted six months ago, and how it’s coming to fruition. It gets us to think about what comes next. Sagittarius inspires us to look into the future toward our biggest goals and set our path toward them.

#267 - Weekly Energy Update for May 21, 2023: Gemini Season

Gemini season has arrived! Now we’re back to reality. Eclipse season is over making life a little more predictable and we begin to feel more optimistic. We're more outgoing and sociable and will want to go out with our friends and have fun. 
Gemini is represented by the twins. The twins represent our body and soul, one twin being mortal and the other immortal. The immortal twin serves as a reminder that our soul is eternal and that we are spiritual beings, while the mortal twin serves as a reminder that life is fleeting and that we are here to enjoy a physical experience.
To be our full selves, we must step fully into both. This Gemini season helps us bring the two into balance and restore our equilibrium after the wild ride we’ve experienced the past few months.
Right now we need to lighten up and have fun to get back into balance. Geminis don’t take themselves too seriously. They love to laugh and have fun. It’s time to shake off the fuddy-duddy and welcome the new.
Gemini season is also an excellent time to slim down. We’ve had some heavy energies lately and to hold those energies you may have put on a little weight. Losing weight is easier than usual now because the energies are lighter.
We get some help moving forward and getting our projects off the ground with powerful Mars in Leo energy. There's no stopping us when Mars, the planet of power and action is in the enthusiastic sign of Leo. We get a major boost of self-confidence, and we become more determined and optimistic. Mars is Leo is the burst of energy we’ve been waiting for!

#266 - Weekly Energy Update for May 14, 2023: Jupiter in Taurus and New Moon in Taurus

This week marks a turning point. Mercury Retrograde ends on the 14th although we'll still be in the retroshade energy for the next couple of weeks.
This space between Mercury retrograde and Mercury direct is the time to reflect on what’s happened over the past month. We are now processing what we have gone through. And as a result of all this processing, this is frequently a time when we make significant life choices.
We get some help implementing these life-changing decisions when Jupiter, the planet of abundance and wisdom, enters Taurus for the first time in 12 years. Jupiter in Taurus helps things grow. Our new lives start to grow. We’re gradually moving into our new ways of being. 
We could not possibly have better energy than this right now. This is the perfect moment to start new things, even if you are unsure about how they will pan out. This is a seed-planting moment. We are growing something beautiful and long-lasting. 
Do you know what else is growing? Our money! Jupiter in Taurus brings good fortune. Investments pay off and we receive expected pleasant surprises. This is a great time to start a business or a new job. 
The first lunar cycle since the start of Eclipse Season occurs on Friday with the New Moon in Taurus. The chaotic and transformative energies of the Eclipses start to calm down and fade into the background.
This New Moon grounds and stabilizes us, which feels great after all the chaotic energies of the Eclipse season. We have been through a lot of change, and taking some time to ground and rebalance ourselves helps us reconnect to a state of ease.

#265 - Weekly Energy Update for May 7, 2023: Venus in Cancer Brings a Big Cosmic Dose of Gentleness

We've made it through the eclipses! But eclipse energy doesn’t end when the eclipse is over. It'll last for another couple of weeks. The powerful Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio that happened on Friday was all about endings, closure, and life-altering events.
All of these changes can be unsettling. What I love about the changes that happen during eclipse season is that they are fated. Destiny. Just knowing that whatever unexpected events have happened are meant to be might bring some peace of mind. 
The good news is that starting on May 7th, when Venus, the planet that rules love, enters caring, sensitive Cancer, we begin to feel some relief. This transit just brings a big cosmic dose of gentleness. It is as though the universe is wrapping us up in a big spiritual blanket, giving us a forehead kiss, and tucking us into bed.
This energy also brings the warm, fuzzy feeling of domestic bliss. You’ll want to light some candles, cook dinner at home, cuddle up to watch movies, and piddle. This is prime piddle around the house energy and an excellent time for sprucing up your home and garden.
We have one more week of Mercury Retrograde. Pluto is also retrograde now. With Venus in Cancer and these two powerful retrogrades, we are being urged to slow down and make every move more mindful. Since we are still integrating all the changes brought about by the eclipse season and the two major planetary moves in March of Saturn and Pluto, this time is a blessing in its own way.
We’re not the same people we were a couple of months ago. We have an opportunity to BE our new versions when the Sun and Uranus align on Tuesday. Switch up your daily routine, dress differently, learn new things, and BE this new version that may not feel natural - instead of just talking about it.

#264 - Weekly Energy Update for April 30, 2023: Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio

We begin the month of May in the thick of Eclipse Season. We had a powerful solar eclipse a few days ago, and this week on Friday, the 5th, there will be a lunar eclipse in Scorpio. 
While a solar eclipse opens the door to new beginnings and change, a lunar eclipse helps us complete our shift to the new. Full Moon Eclipses bring endings, closure, and transformative events that move us from one state of consciousness to another. 
This eclipse is an opportunity to create significant change in your life.  Lunar eclipses bring us information from out of nowhere. Some of the things you learn could catch you off guard. Not all of the information is bad.  It could provide you with the motivation and inspiration you need to make changes in your life.
It’s also important to understand that everything is happening to move you forward. We’re getting an energetic push from the universe to move us out of stuck energy and old patterns. This eclipse is our opportunity to step into our power. It’s here to remind us of our power and point out where we are limiting ourselves.
One thing that stands out under this Eclipse is some of the magic symbolism and synchronicities behind it. This Eclipse falls on the 5th day of the 5th month at 14 degrees of Scorpio. The number 14 adds up to five as well, making the 5 energies very strong.
The number 5 is all about change and is a master about being able to go with the flow.  It is happiest when things are fresh and full of possibilities. The only thing this number is truly attached to is being unattached.
Being unattached and going with the flow is the way to embrace this time. Fated events are taking place. You can’t change fate.  Accept what may come and know that this is exactly the transformation you need to make in your life at this time. Surrender to the timing. Allow whatever comes to come, and allow whatever goes to go.
This energy is part of a continuous path that will continue all year. Allow yourself to naturally transform. You are precisely where you need to be right now for your highest evolution. Be gentle to yourself. Remember to be kind to others, as they are going through these intense energies as well.

#263 - Weekly Energy Update for April 23, 2023: Eclipse Corridor & Mercury Retrograde

We are in the heart of the first eclipse season of the year, which began with the powerful solar eclipse last week and ends with a lunar eclipse next week. 
Eclipses arrive in pairs and occur two weeks apart. This two-week period is eclipse season. And the period between the two eclipses is known as the eclipse corridor.
We are currently in the eclipse corridor with mercury retrograde.  Mercury Retrograde can have the same disruptive and upsetting effects as eclipses. The two weeks in this eclipse corridor can be very challenging, and it might seem as though they go on forever. 
Eclipses show us that after the dust settles, there truly is a lesson to be learned and a new path forward. Eclipses are not for intention setting and seed planting. They’re about surrender. Change is inevitable here. It’s happening. You can either fight it all the way, or you can surrender and allow the changes to move you forward.
The eclipses and Mercury's retrograde make it even more crucial to relax right now. Give yourself permission to pause. There's no need to rush.  Moving slowly and steadily is the antidote for the chaos in our outer world.
Taurus is perhaps the biggest self-care advocate of the zodiac, and this season will be the ultimate invitation to lean into what makes you happy.
We want to embrace comfort, luxury, and relaxation, as well as the joy that goes along with it.  Taurus season is the season when you can connect to the magic and beauty of life. Relax, take some time for yourself, and trust that everything is happening for the best.

#262 - Weekly Energy Update for April 16, 2023: Eclipse Season and Mercury Retrograde

Everything changes this week. This week's events, including the New Moon Solar Eclipse, the beginning of Taurus season, and Mercury Retrograde, help us transition to our new lives and identities. Over the past six months, we've undergone some major internal and external changes, and now we're in the home stretch.
This is a rare hybrid solar eclipse. Hybrid Eclipses only happen a few times a century and carry the energy of shifting between 2 worlds. This new moon is our gateway to a new reality. Doors will open, bringing even more new opportunities and new pathways.
This is the second new moon in a row in Aries. Having two powerful new moons back to back in Aries makes this one more intense. To add to the excitement, this eclipse occurs at the final degree of Aries. Having such a powerful Eclipse on this highly charged point indicates a karmic event or destiny that is unfolding. 
This eclipse carries so much "new beginning" energy that it has the power to dramatically alter the course of our lives. This eclipse puts us back on track if we've gotten off it in any way.
24 hours after this eclipse, Taurus season begins. This is a big energetic shift. When the sun moves into Taurus, things slow down, allowing us to take a break. Taurus season is about focusing on simple pleasures. Let yourself sleep in, order takeout, and watch your favorite movies. This is our opportunity to get grounded and settle into our new lives.
And then within 24 hours of Taurus Season starting Mercury goes Retrograde. This is our first retrograde planet since January. Mercury retrogrades are the best times for “re” activities: reviewing, revising, rethinking, and redoing. 
Even if you haven't noticed it, you have been going through a big internal transformation. This is our opportunity to slow down and settle into our new selves. We've had many life upgrades over the past few months, so give yourself the time you need to integrate them. There's no rush. This next chapter lasts for years, so ease into it and enjoy the ride.

#261 - Weekly Energy Update for April 9 2023: Sun Conjunct Jupiter

This week is the cherry on top of the important astrological chapter we've gone thru the past few months! The stars have aligned and on Tuesday, April 11th, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and good luck, will be in a rare and powerful conjunction with the sun and which is known as a “Cazimi.”
It is thought to be the luckiest day of the year when the Sun and Jupiter align, which happens only once a year. The Sun's alignment with Jupiter is known as "The Day of Miracles."
Every time the sun and a planet align, a new cycle begins, making it a particularly special moment. This is a biggie!  Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, and the sun, which is the center of our solar system, are combining forces to begin a brand-new 12-year chapter in the sign of Aries. 
Jupiter also governs over the higher mind and our quest for knowledge and wisdom. The Cazimi can lead to incredible psychological growth and knowing ourselves on a much deeper level. This is a time when we can break lifelong patterns because we finally understand why they’re happening.
There is a feeling of well-being, happiness, and optimism brought on by this transit. In all facets of life, from relationships to income, "expansion" is the name of the game. It's a great time to start new projects, and relationships, or learn something new. Right now the universe is on our side and everything is falling into place.
