#287 - Fall Astrology Forecast with Astrologer Deborah Norton

Astrologer Deborah Norton shares the Fall 2023 Astrological Forecast in this entertaining podcast. This fall is a time of profound rebirth and transformation beginning with the Autumn Equinox. The Equinox provides us with a clean slate to start our next chapter. With all of the retrogrades and reflection we've done this summer, we've gained a lot of clarity. And now we’re moving forward with that knowledge. 
The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 14 and the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 28 are both times of pivotal change. The eclipses offer us the opportunity to align our internal and external worlds.  
Deborah addresses Pluto and Saturn going direct, as well as the powerful energy of Pluto and Eris Square happening the first week of October.

#286 - Weekly Energy Update for Sept. 17, 2023: Fall Equinox & Libra Season

Pumpkin Spice season officially begins this week with the Fall Equinox occurring on Friday night. Not only is this when the Sun is directly over the equator, resulting in an equal length of day and night, but it is also when the Sun moves from Virgo into Libra, kicking off Libra Season.
The Equinox is one of the year's major turning points. It’s when we energetically start moving in a new direction. It’s a time when our lives change.
Libra season gives you permission to soak up all of the fall vibes. It's also a time for creating balance in every area of life and prioritizing harmony above all else.
If we desire peace and harmony in our lives, it must start internally. What we experience inwardly manifests itself externally. Internal harmony is achieved through establishing a sense of balance, calm, and alignment inside yourself. It is all about getting your thoughts, emotions, and actions in sync.
It is easier to achieve that state during the equinox. It’s easier to start new mindfulness and meditation practices right now. So, as you embrace everything Fall this year, make time to BE present. This might be as basic as watching the changing of the leaves.
On the Equinox, you should feel an energy shift. We'll feel like we're gaining momentum, and we'll notice some changes in our lives beginning to take shape. This momentum will gradually build over the next month.
This is a significant life change, and these changes take time. Over the following month, we'll see changes gradually appear. Leading up to a historic solar eclipse and new moon on October 14th.

#285 - Weekly Energy Update for Sept. 10, 2023: Virgo New Moon and Mercury Direct

This week, we gradually gain clarity and feel like we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, thanks to a magnificent New Moon on Thursday and Mercury ending its retrograde and going direct on Friday. 
This Virgo New Moon is here to help us get our sh*t together. Every month, we have a new moon which gives us a fresh start. And the Virgo new moon is one of the most powerful opportunities to reset and refocus.
This is the last new moon of the summer before the Equinox and Eclipse Season begins, so it lays the foundation for the upcoming changes. While the retrograde activity has left us feeling somewhat stuck, this New Moon is a turning point and is preparing us for change.
The new moon occurs just hours before Mercury moves direct again. This Mercury retrograde in Virgo has been shining a spotlight on our wellness, daily routines, and inner balance, so now is a fantastic time to reflect on how you care for yourself emotionally and physically.
This new beginning energy is preparing us for Fall, which begins next week. The shift from summer to fall is one of the most difficult in Ayurveda. We are transitioning from the Pitta season of summer to the Vata season of autumn. We want to start shifting away from the raw foods and salads of summer and eat more root vegetables, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, squash, and hearty soups.
It also helps us transition by maintaining a consistent routine, particularly in sleeping, waking, and eating. This, of course, perfectly aligns with the energy of the New Moon in Virgo, which is all about getting organized and structure in your life. Happy New Moon!

#283 - Weekly Energy Update for Sept 3, 2023: September Numerology & Jupiter Retrograde

According to numerology, September is a 7 universal month, and 2023 is also a 7 universal year.  This month we are doubling down on 7 energy. The energy of 7 is all about taking things slow and going inward.
The theme of this month and year is spiritual growth. And this month amplifies that. We’ve changed this year and despite how well you believe you know yourself, it's possible that you've changed in ways you weren't even aware of. It's now time to integrate the changes and move forward with a stronger sense of self-awareness. 
We get support with our inward reflection when Jupiter goes retrograde for the rest of the year on Monday, September 4th. Compared to other retrogrades this one can be advantageous. Jupiter retrograde does not translate to our luck running out but rather our idea of happiness being rewritten.  
During a time when everything seems out of our control, magical Jupiter comes along and gives us second chances and an opportunity to get back in balance. Jupiter is associated with good fortune, abundance, and knowledge. It helps us connect with our soul’s purpose.
This is an excellent moment to consider what is weighing you down. We often do things because we believe we should enjoy them or they should make us happy. Jupiter retrograde is your opportunity to be honest about what is no longer working for you. We're getting clear about what we need to live a happy, fulfilling life.
Before we can ask for what we want, we must first define it. The next four months are about figuring out what makes us happy. What truly makes us happy, not what should make us happy.

#282 - Weekly Energy Update for August 27, 2023: Super Blue Moon in Pisces

All summer long, we've been preparing for this time. With the Super Blue Moon on Wednesday night, this week is a powerful time of new beginnings. 
Since blue moons only occur once every 2.5 years or so, the expression "once in a blue moon" refers to their extreme rarity. The fact that the blue moon this year also happens to be a supermoon, when the moon is at its closest to Earth, makes this moon even rarer.
A supermoon super-sizes the energy of whatever sign it’s in and this one is in Pisces.  This means that we’re going to experience some deep feelings such as grief, sadness, and heartbreak, which have been stored in our psyches. We're about to get deep, so get the Kleenex ready. Sometimes, going through these emotions is the only way to move past them and let them go.
Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac. It rules the dream world and subconscious mind. It allows downloads and spiritual guidance to flood in by opening our spiritual channels. The strong retrograde energy also strengthens and amplifies our intuition and psychic abilities. 
We can expect to receive lots of unmistakable signs, serendipities, and messages in our dreams. Even our deceased loved ones, our spirit guides, or our angels may visit us. 
With this Blue Moon, there is a soul transformation taking place. We are undergoing some significant events as well as incredible energetic frequencies. Even though things could become a little shaky, all of these astrological events are intended to do one thing, which is to move us forward to more authentic lives.

#281 - Weekly Energy Update for August 20, 2023: Virgo Season and Mercury Retrograde

Every time a zodiac season ends, the universe hits the ‘reset’ button. After the sun has spent the last month in Leo, it’s moving into the sign of Virgo on Wednesday the 23rd and we’re hitting the reset button.
During the next month, we’ll experience Virgo energies, which include being productive, hard-working, and a perfectionist. We feel most energized and productive during this time of year. 
The Virgo season offers us a fantastic opportunity to get things done and establish a regular schedule. It’s all about achieving balance in our day-to-day schedule.
Because this Virgo season coincides with Mercury in retrograde, it’s a little trickier than usual to get into a solid daily routine. Mercury rules Virgo and Mercury going retrograde on the same day that Virgo Season starts makes us feel like a kid being dragged back to school after an epic summer vacation.
If you’re already feeling tired, disoriented, and like you’re just not yourself, there’s a good chance we can blame it on Mercury retrograde. Mercury, the planet of cognitive function, has a way of making your brain have to work twice as hard to function when it is spinning backward.
Even though Mercury retrograde is generally disliked, it's important to keep in mind that it's not the end of the world. Mercury retrograde is not only a common occurrence—it occurs three to four times a year—but it also plays a crucial role in your soul journey.
This particular Mercury Retrograde gives us the opportunity to go back to the basics and rebuild our Universe. It’s time to simplify and focus on building a life that keeps you centered and balanced.
Also keep in mind that Mercury is known as the trickster planet and while it is retrograde, it enjoys making our lives as inconvenient as possible. There are often delays, frustrations, misunderstandings, and problems with our technology, providing us an opportunity to practice remaining centered no matter what is going on.

#280 - Weekly Energy Update for August 13, 2023: Leo New Moon

Wednesday's Leo New Moon starts a new lunar cycle that we can use as a chance for a fresh start. During this retrograde season, you have undoubtedly had several aha moments and realizations about things you want to change. We don't have to wait for the retrograde season to end to make changes in our lives. We have the opportunity to change today thanks to this new moon.
A Leo New Moon is a lovely time when we're in tune with our hearts, connected to love, and feeling especially creative. It's a period when it's easier to focus on the good things in our lives.
The current Venus Retrograde in Leo is activated by this New Moon in Leo. Venus Retrograde stirs up relationship issues, not just relationships with others but also our relationship with money and our self-worth. Venus Retrograde offers us the chance to learn how to set boundaries, handle conflicts, and know when to walk away. 
The fact that this moon is tightly square Uranus, the planet known as the "Great Awakener," means unexpected events could occur or that your life could suddenly change dramatically. With the combination of Uranus, Venus, and the New Moon, the unexpected news we receive may result in major changes to our relationships.
This new moon generally makes us feel better and helps us take some action as it has been a bit of a lazy retrograde period and you may not have felt very motivated lately. 
This summer, we’re going through a lot of change and shedding things we’ve outgrown. While we may be sad to see some of them go, we are ready to release others. However, life constantly moves forward, and this moon gives us a clean slate and a chance to start over again.

#279 - Weekly Energy Update for August 6, 2023: 8/8 Lions Gate Portal

We are currently living in a particularly intense and transformative period. This is the retrograde high season. There are currently four planets and Chiron retrograde, and now Mercury has entered its shadow period, preparing to go retrograde and join the party.
Retrogrades direct our focus to the past and can be cosmic "grace periods" during which we can complete projects and other unfinished business. The prefix re- means to go back. Retrogrades are all about re-words.
Old friends, lovers, and past issues may resurface providing an opportunity to reconnect or revise. Retrogrades can be used to resolve arguments, revisit ideas, or renew a commitment.
Retrogrades can be highly beneficial. We finish projects, improve our style, let go of relationships that are not working for us, and heal our insecurities.
The 8/8 Lions Gate on Wednesday helps with healing. The Lions Gate Portal is an annual astrological event that occurs between July 26th and August 12th, with a peak on August 8th. Because of the numerology of 8/8 and the Sun reaching the halfway point or 15 degrees of Leo, which is the height of Leo energy, August 8 has become the day we celebrate the portal. This is also the astrological halfway point between the June Solstice and the September Equinox.
The Sun aligns with the star Sirius, which is considered our spiritual sun, during this period, and this cosmic alignment creates a powerful portal that fills us with high-frequency energy. This high-vibing energy brings new beginnings, and these new beginnings are often dramatic.
These transformative times offer incredible positive movement in soul growth and life fulfillment, but the process can feel turbulent and scary. Allow yourself some downtime. Rest. Unplug. Avoid activities that you find shallow or depleting. It’s OK to say no to things you don’t want to do right now.
And keep in mind that everything, and I mean everything, is happening for our highest good this month. Thank you retrogrades, and thank you 8/8 Lions Gate. Thank you for the push we need to move forward.

#278 - Weekly Energy Update for July 30, 2023: Aquarius Full Moon

The month of August begins and ends with a supermoon. The Full Super Moon in Aquarius occurs on Tuesday, August 1st, while the Pisces Super Blue Full Moon occurs on August 30th.
With two Full Moons in the same calendar month, August will be a time for letting go, clearing, and releasing. Everything that no longer resonates with us will be released, and there will be some empty spots in our lives by the end of the month.
We also begin the month with Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, and Chiron retrograde, and by the end of August, Mercury and Uranus will be retrograde as well.
All of this retrograde energy has the potential to make us feel sluggish. We may feel as if we are going around in circles or that we need to redo things that we thought we had previously dealt with. And there won't be much we can do to speed things up.
This month will be uncomfortable for those of us who are used to pushing through and getting things done no matter what. The key is to surrender. Surrender and enjoy this slower time. Surrender means to stop fighting. Stop fighting with yourself. Stop fighting the universe and the natural flow of things. Stop resisting and pushing against reality.
The Full Moon in Aquarius on Tuesday, the 1st, is the month's first significant cosmic event. This Full Moon is very healing. While the energies this month are powerful, this full moon is gentle and holds our hand while unveiling anything that is no longer serving our highest good. 
In Numerology, August is a 6 Universal Month. The energy of a 6 month is all about the good things in life. It’s about harmony, love, and balance. It’s about focusing on our family and relationships, it helps us enjoy our homes. It is about improving your physical, emotional, and mental well-being, as well as bringing more ease and harmony into your life.
Life is slow right now. Enjoy a slow August. Surrender and let this month be one of the best of your life.
