#335 - Weekly Energy Update for July 14, 2024: Mars - Uranus Conjunction

I won't lie, this is an uncomfortable week.  The energy for Monday's Mars and Uranus conjunction has been building and we'll continue to feel it all week.
Mars is associated with taking action. It's named after the Roman god of war. When Uranus, the planet of chaos, revolution, and change, is combined with this energy, it's like throwing gasoline on a fire.
These two are meeting up in Taurus. Neither one of them likes being there. They feel uncomfortable there. Taurus is a slow steady energy and Mars and Uranus are definitely not slow and steady.
Imagine Uranus bringing chaos and disruption and feeling uncomfortable meeting up with Mars, the planet of war and energy, which is also uncomfortable. Something is going to happen!
This energy is especially helpful in moving us forward. It shakes things up. Wherever you’ve been stuck, this week you get unstuck. And it is not comfortable. We often resist change because it is too uncomfortable. Although change disrupts our lives and disturbs our peace, it's necessary. It’s time to change and move forward.
We’re in this energy until Mars moves into Gemini on Saturday. This week is the grand finale of Mars’ journey through Taurus. We know how big and explosive grand finales are, especially when you add the chaotic energy of Uranus to the mix.
Get ready for change. If you’ve been bored, stuck, or ready for what’s next, get ready to move forward in unexpected ways. Things are shifting and ending so we can move on to the next great chapter!

#334 - Weekly Energy Update for July 7, 2024: Venus in Leo

It's a good time to discuss how the current transit of Pluto into Aquarius is affecting our nation during this Fourth of July holiday. Pluto's 20-year journey in Aquarius marks a significant turning point in our personal and global futures.
It will not only bring a revolution in science and technology, but also transform our political systems, and we’re already seeing the beginning. Pluto’s transformative energy is dismantling our outdated political structures. This might include revolutions, and protests, as these old systems are destroyed and new ones that are more ethical and more transparent are put in place.
The good news is because Aquarius represents humanitarianism, the result of these 20 years is a more equitable society, with stronger communities and more peace. Pluto in Aquarius is also here to transform us spiritually. This time allows us to practice and deepen our spiritual beliefs.
Venus enters Leo this week on Thursday, the 11th. Venus is all about beauty, pleasure, and love. It also governs our finances, self-worth, and values. The Sun rules Leo, a sign that brightens everything up! Romance, beauty, and creativity shine when these two connect. 
Leo also loves to be in the spotlight. Now is a great time to launch creative projects and update your style. This transit is also about appreciating beauty, luxury, and the finer things in life. While it's a great time to treat yourself, be mindful of overspending or impulse buying right now.
It's a time to celebrate love when Venus is in Leo. We are talking about big acts of love. Spoil your loved ones. Make the most of your time together and go above and beyond to celebrate love.
Let's enjoy this lovely summer with Venus in Leo while it lasts, as we know we're in for some changes with Pluto's transit through Aquarius.

#333 - Weekly Energy Update for June 30, 2024: Cancer New Moon, July Numerology, and Sirius Gateway

Summer is in full swing with July starting this week. July is a Universal Month 6 in numerology. Month 6 is about love, home, family, and responsibilities. It’s a time of harmony and balance as we focus on strengthening our relationships with our loved ones.
A 6 month is also an ideal time to focus on decorating and home improvements. And simply enjoy hanging out at home with your people. This is the perfect energy for a long 4th of July weekend filled with leisure time.
The Sirius gateway adds to this week's already lovely vibe. Every year, during the first week of July, when our Sun conjuncts the star Sirius, there is an event known as the Sirius Gateway.  As our "Spiritual Sun," Sirius is 23 times brighter than our Sun. When these two align, high-frequency energy recharges our bodies and souls and elevates our spiritual consciousness.
This year,  the energy of the Sirius Gateway is amplified by the Cancer New Moon on July 5th. The start of a new lunar cycle closely linked to the Sirius Gateway brings an abundance of new, high-vibing energy that puts everything into perspective. 
This is a lovely, gentle, optimistic energy that helps us soften, unwind, and stop taking things too seriously. 
The New Moon conjunct Venus in Cancer puts the focus on our emotional and romantic lives. New moons start a new chapter and everything started now is likely to enhance our love and family lives, and help us to align with our goals. The advice for this New Moon is to listen to your soul and allow your heart to get a little more tender.  
Retrograde season is ramping up this week too, Neptune goes retrograde on July 2. Neptune is the planet of dreams and spirituality and when it retrogrades, we’re able to look realistically at our fantasies. Illusions can come crashing down, and we begin to realize that people and things aren't who we believe them to be. 
All the high-frequency energy from the Sirius Gateway and the New Moon in Cancer helps us feel more connected and allows us to receive messages and downloads that help us focus on the important things in life. Our lives will be transformed if we pay attention to the wisdom we receive.

#332 - Weekly Energy Update for June 23, 2024: Summer of Retrogrades

The summer of retrogrades is here. This summer, there are five planets plus Chiron retrograde, which slows down everything. This Saturday Saturn goes retrograde, joining Pluto, which is already retrograde. Followed by Neptune next week. Next is Chiron at the end of July, Mercury in August, and Uranus at the end of summer. 
When multiple planets go retrograde simultaneously, there’s a collective pause to reflect on practically every aspect of our lives. Everything slows down this summer. It's helpful to remember that setbacks and delays are typical during retrogrades. We're not used to slowing down, so it could feel difficult but if you can settle in, it'll be wonderful. 
We have time to look inward and reflect this summer. We’ll rethink our goals and long-term career plans. This summer we can align our lives more closely with our values. It’s a time of personal and collective transformation. Make the most of the leisurely days to reflect on your life. We’re examining everything to see if it still aligns with us. 
On Saturday, Saturn goes retrograde. Saturn is the planet of discipline, rules, and work. When it goes retrograde, it's like school let out for summer. We all have a reason to relax this summer and let go of everything holding us back. Let go of the rules and enjoy a laid-back and relaxing summer.
Because Saturn is going retrograde in Pisces, the planet associated with spirituality, the focus is also on reviewing and rethinking our spiritual path and practices. 
It’s time to rethink spirituality and learn how to live more intentionally and connected. This slow summer gives us the time and space to practice being present. There’s no hurry this summer. Slow down, and practice being in the moment.

#330 - Weekly Energy Update for June 16, 2024: Summer Solstice, Cancer Season, and Capricorn Full Moon

This Thursday, the 20th, marks the start of the summer, with the Summer Solstice and the beginning of the Cancer season. And there is a full moon in Capricorn the very next day. It's a big, wonderful week!
We talk a lot about the cycles of the moon and the other planets, but the sun is the center of everything, and the solstice is our day to honor it. Since the sun is 400 times larger than the moon, we can think of the solstice as 400 times more powerful than a full moon. We can think of it as a Full Sun.
The tone for the entire summer is set by what is happening in the sky at the time of the solstice. At the exact time of the summer solstice, the sun will enter Cancer, starting Cancer Season. Cancer is nurturing, intuitive, compassionate, and a natural caregiver. Cancers are also homebodies, who love nurturing their homes and caring for their plants, pets, and people.
Cancer season is just lovely. The next few weeks are ideal for lounging around with friends and enjoying the summertime.
Adding to this week's magic is the Strawberry Full Moon on Friday, which falls only one day after the Solstice. It’s called the Strawberry moon because this is the time of year when the strawberries are ripe, not because of the color of the moon.
The extraordinary thing about this full moon is that it’s the lowest full moon we’ve seen in years. Since the Moon happens on the solstice, the very day the Sun is absolutely at its highest of the year, and a full moon is opposite the sun, this full Moon is the very lowest full Moon, the lowest we’ve seen in years.
This full moon is the first of two consecutive full moons in Capricorn. These two full moons are setting the stage for a fun summertime and accomplishing goals that may have been on the back burner for the last few years.
What I love about this time is that the solstice, when the sun is at its highest, and the full moon, when it’s at its lowest are in perfect balance, helping us balance our lives. We can relax AND get things done. It isn’t either/or. It's both. 
Allow yourself to sink into summer this week. Once you're enjoying the juiciness of summer, set your intentions for what you want to accomplish. Relax and flow first, then work.

#329 - Weekly Energy Update for June 9, 2024: Celebrating 60

This is the final full week of Gemini season and the intense Gemini energy we have been experiencing. Next Sunday, both Mercury and Venus, who are currently in Gemini, will move into Cancer.
Summer Solstice and the start of Cancer season are next week. Summer is right around the corner and once Cancer Season starts, we slow down and settle into a slower pace for summer.
Mercury and the Sun both square Saturn this week. Saturn can be challenging. And squares can be challenging! Rather than fighting against a square's energy, we want to work with it. Now is an excellent time to concentrate on mundane household duties, repetitive and organized jobs, routine paperwork, or just planning your summer vacation.
Saturn tends to make us a little gloomy with low energy. You may feel busy and like there isn't enough time to get everything done during this period of intense Gemini energy. It's not enjoyable to be overwhelmed by the amount of work you have to accomplish and lack the motivation to complete it. You might want to take the week off, call in sick, or just give up. Naturally, I would love to urge you to just unwind and take a rest, but that's not the most effective method to handle this energy.
It's best to put your head down and work slowly and steadily. Avoiding responsibility this week catches up with you. Keep in mind, that the sooner you finish what needs to be done, the sooner you'll feel better, especially if you're under pressure to complete it all yet lack the energy to do so.
We have to deal with things this week. They aren’t going away and we can’t ignore them. Buckle up and get it done! Thank goodness, this energy is only for a week. On the plus side, we'll get a lot accomplished and feel good about ourselves.  Next week the energy calms down and we settle into summer.

#328 - Weekly Energy Update for June 2, 2024: New Moon in Gemini & June Numerology

June carries the energy of falling in love with our life. It’s an opportunity for new beginnings and a chance for a do-over. We're roughly halfway through the calendar year. If the year hasn’t gone as planned so far, June can be your turning point.
June is a 5 universal month in numerology. The energy of five is about transformation and welcoming change. This is the month to shake things up and add excitement to your daily routine. Try some new things. Get out of your comfort zone.
June kicks off with a parade of planets.  Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are in a straight line this week. When multiple planets are aligned like this, their energies combine and are amplified. This acts as a catalyst for change. Such alignments often bring new beginnings. It’s an excellent time to start new projects and set new goals.  
There is a Venus Star Point on Tuesday, June 4. This occurs when Venus forms a conjunction—a straight line that joins the sun and the earth. This alignment represents a rebirth, bringing romance, self-care, friendship, and love front and center. This is a fated time for romance because this conjunction aligns with the Nodes of Destiny.
All of this is building up to Thursday’s New Moon in Gemini.  This New Moon is dripping with Gemini, Jupiter, and Venus energy making it a powerful and magical time to set intentions.  It’s time to dream! This moon helps us to create anything we want. And fast! Gemini’s energy moves quickly. It’s possible to create any change imaginable during this time. Gemini helps you both speak and write your dreams into reality. Energy like this doesn’t come along all the time. Use it to create a life you’re in love with. 
 

#327 - Weekly Energy Update for May 26, 2024: Jupiter in Gemini

Yesterday Jupiter moved into Gemini for the next year. This is a big shift from Jupiter in Taurus where it’s been for the last year.
Jupiter is the planet of abundance and growth, and Gemini is lighthearted, fun, playful, and enjoys spending time with friends and family. Jupiter is amplifying this lovely Gemini energy. The month ends on a high note with an abundance of laughter, joy, and time to enjoy being with our people.
Jupiter in Gemini asks us to examine our communication style and how we express ourselves to others. We must face where we haven’t been authentic or truthful. We’ll feel more inspired to write, teach, and share your stories. This is the year you publish the book and launch your YouTube channel or podcast. Jupiter in Gemini helps our voice be heard.
Jupiter in Gemini also helps us balance our human sides and our spiritual sides. Given that one of the Gemini twins is mortal and the other is immortal, they represent the harmony between the material and spiritual realms. Gemini helps us get into greater balance and honor both sides of ourselves.
Tuesday to Thursday, May 28–30, is when the Aldebaran Silver Gate Portal opens. Aldebaran is regarded as the star of enlightenment and is one of the Four Royal Stars. The Silver Gate Portal is a high-frequency energy portal that is activated when the Sun lines up with the Royal Star Aldebaran. This portal beams down energy that activates our third eye chakra. 
This energy reminds us of our purpose in this lifetime. If you have ever wanted to do a past life regression, an Akashic records reading, or talk to your spirit guides, this is the time. You may also have dreams or intuitive downloads about your past lives and soul contracts. 
Trillions of souls wanted to incarnate during this time on earth. And we get the privilege of being here. Being alive at this time is truly powerful. We can dread it or we can embrace it. Jupiter in Gemini helps us embrace it!
