WEEKLY HOROSCOPES 8/21 - 8/27

Hello Starbabies!

So everyone is going gonzo over the Solar Eclipse. Magi’s and mystics are coming out of the woodwork with theories on how to survive this Eclipse. Truth be told, we have been living this Eclipse all summer; every week has been like an episode in a Netflix series. It’s been very cool…and also transforming. I know that June seems like a million years ago. We are getting what we asked for…shift and change. The cool thing about this Eclipse, this week and this energy is that we can mold it, make it work for us. We don’t have to be victims of the vibe; we can go with the tide and let it take us where we need to go. 

We can access our inner divinity and inner royalty; it can be a week of luxurious enlightenment.

We can set the sail to the wind and ride it to our next destination. Don’t have anything planned; well in that case just enjoy the ride.

HOW TO MACK THIS WEEK’S ENERGY:

ARIES SUN/RISING: Things just keep heating up for you my dear Rams. You are given a few choices this week in the realms of family, sex, love, creativity and joy. You aren’t the same you that you were all those moons ago; your desires have changed and you are aware that things have shifted for you. This week you are ready to burn big and bright; let others flock to your flame.

TAURUS SUN/RISING: You know that you are feeling something happening for you in regards to how you are living your everyday life. You are being forced to face things that you know you need in order to evolve…yet you are being pushed out of a hard won comfort zone. Just when you thought you could take a breather you find that the universe has something else in mind. Let change excite you.

GEMINI SUN/RISING: You know that you are in a phase of shifting alliances and relationships… as well as becoming far more verbal about what it is that you want…rather than your usual MO of shrugging away discomfort or strife. You are fully present in a way that is refreshing and culls out your inner genius. You are magnetic and exciting…and you know it.

CANCER SUN/RISING: Your life plays like the empowerment moment montage from a movie (think “Legally Blond” or “Rocky”) the scales are off your eyes, and you see clearly. You see where you have played small and scared, and you also know that you need to exercise some seductive demon that promises you safety if you just stay quiet. You are tougher than any old specter or succubus.

LEO SUN/RISING: You’ve got that sparkle and shine back that you have always been so used to yet it’s a thing that has been in short supply of late. It’s different now. You are different now. It can be a challenge or a true gift to be able to fully embrace your glow and grace, especially now that you know in that dark deep part of yourself just how fetid things can and DO become. Life has given you a gift. You are no longer just glitter. Now you are GOLD.

VIRGO SUN/RISING: This week brings a deep shift that you won’t see coming. PLOT TWIST!!! Lol don’t worry. A year ago this would have sent you into a tailspin...but now you know better. Now you know that the universe has some sweet golden coins just aching to rain down upon you. Your deep shift is YOUR secret…you are under no obligation to share your experience or your secrets with anyone. They belong to you, and you alone.

LIBRA SUN/RISING: You know your worth, and this is so exciting to me. That dark moon phase was terrifyingly dark and now you are illuminated. You have come out of this time a different person; you now know that it is YOU that is incandescent and that you don’t need to rely on anyone else to light up your way. You have such magnificent candor that is so very liberating. Live and speak your truth; your tribe will thank you for it.

SCORPIO SUN/RISING: You finally get some much-needed clarity around your work/ambition flow. The scene is getting cleared up and you are getting a lot of decisive energy around your choices around your career and your public image. This week will start you off on a new long game; make sure that you are super clear and full of integrity around your next moves. Evolution and loving power shifts is the order of the day.

SAGITTARIUS SUN/RISING: “Is it secret? Is it safe?” You have managed to be both Gandalf and Frodo to yourself in the past few years. You have been forced to go on a journey that you may not have voluntarily taken in years past…but it’s been necessary and transformative. Now, the hot question is what are you trying to keep secret and safe. Could it be your soul? Ponder this.

CAPRICORN SUN/RISING: I normally wouldn’t recommend this of any sign or person…but get effing SAVAGE this week. For you Cappy’s I encourage you to break away from mogul mode and embrace your inner goat. Get funky and wild. Get Feral. Let yourself be unrecognizable to yourself. There is a need to embrace some dark energy that will bring you back from the land of the dead…something has to buried for good…but with love and forgiveness.

AQUARIUS SUN/RISING: There’s been something lurking around the edges of your awareness around love and sex and partnership. You will finally be willing to let someone love you. You THINK that you already do this. However this week will show you how deeply you are loved just for who you are, and how hard you fight this. Don’t piss off the people in your life by arguing with them about this. Just let them love you.

PISCES SUN/RISING: You don’t take the kind of care of yourself as you should. You know this…in the back of your mind. This week you will find that self care and organizing your life is the ultimate act of love. You cannot fully love and heal and embrace those in your life if you haven’t taken proper care of yourself. It’s a public service that you do…when you truly love yourself enough to be your best self.

Starstruck Autumn: DO’S AND DON’T FOR THE SOLAR ECLIPSE IN LEO

Starstruck Autumn: DO’S AND DON’T FOR THE SOLAR ECLIPSE IN LEO: DO’S AND DON’T FOR THE SOLAR ECLIPSE IN LEO This Solar Eclipse is real deal. It's happening on Monday, 8/21 at 2:30 PM (EST)....

DO’S AND DON’T FOR THE SOLAR ECLIPSE IN LEO

DO’S AND DON’T FOR THE SOLAR ECLIPSE IN LEO

This Solar Eclipse is real deal. It's happening on Monday, 8/21 at 2:30 PM (EST).         I know that the Lunar Eclipse energy has been persistent in stripping away any illusions that we have about ourselves and the world we live in. The Lunar Eclipse was in Aquarius, and that sign can often be coldly analytical. It can also carry shame because of how they live on the fringes…the lone wolf.

Leo is the polar opposite. Leo NEEDS an audience. Healthy Leo energy is generous, loving and playful. Warped Leo energy is egomaniacal, grudging and mean.

We of course want to embody the healthy, happy Leo vibe…right!?!

Another thing that makes this eclipse super powered is it’s close proximity to Fixed Star Regulus. Regulus is considered the Heart of the Lion…proud, independent, confident, generous…and sometimes violent. This star is about conquering and ruling. It’s also about honor, success and pleasure. So we need to walk a fine line eclipse… a much more careful tread than most eclipses.

So now you know.

So to make sure that you come out of this Eclipse in good shape, I have a little list here for you to make sure that you are able to embody the golden goodness of this energy. The Do’s and Don’t… read ahead and be prepared.

DO be generous and open hearted.

DO pay attention to what turns you on and gets you excited; this is your soul telling you what you need to focus on.

DO embrace your inner Diva and your inner Adonis; know how money you are and use that vibe liberally.

DO understand that anything you begin now will have long-term effects.

DO be independent; no one knows your soul’s journey like you do

DO your Solar Eclipse/New Moon intentions on the day AFTER the eclipse; we will be too scattered to focus and manifest in clear, healthy ways.

DO believe in the power of new beginnings no matter what your past looked like. Be ready to embrace change, happiness and passion

DON’T get caught up in power struggles or moments of egomania

DON’T fall into sadness if something doesn’t go your way; there is a divine plan … trust it!

DON’T lie. This Solar Eclipse combined with the energy of the Mercury RX will reveal all.

DON’T get competitive about anything: we are all royalty

DON’T stay stuck in old ideas of who you are supposed to be

DON’T feel as if you need to do anything; this is powerful energy and it can be either super energizing or draining; protect your energy.

DON’T be afraid to speak your truth.

This energy is powerful; lets use it to transform our lives and rise up in glorious ways.

Blessed Be,

Autumn

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES 8/14-8/20 - ALLURE

Hello StarBabies! It’s a brand new week with a whole new vibe. This week has a specific kind of sizzle; it’s not just heat for the sake of fun. There’s purpose to how we get fired up. We will definitely be feeling full of energy, vim and vigor thanks to Venus and Mars both making sassy aspects to Jupiter. We will want to play… but with a purpose. We also have the Sun in Leo making a masterful trine to Saturn; work won’t feel like work. However we have sweet Venus making a risky, perilous yet sexy opposition to Pluto. Conversations around money and sex will come up…this aspect can be a real rut buster or have your head spinning. Yes, Mercury is Retrograde…so expect old conversations, ideas and concepts to come up.

Enjoy the flame and how it can transform you.

HOW TO MACK THIS WEEK’S ENERGY:

ARIES SUN/RISING: While this week might have you going over the nuts and bolts of daily life and upgrading your health, you will also be aware of a shift happening around your home/family and your partnerships. It doesn’t have to feel weird or crap; it can just be revelations, conversations and resets that are necessary at this point. More importantly, you need to figure out that precarious home/work balance. Remember that it doesn’t have to be some big messy drama…it can be an easy shift as long as you keep love in your heart.

TAURUS SUN/RISING: You know that you totally are ready for something big to happen…but the hot question is what is it? You can bang your head against the wall or just relax into the knowledge that you don’t know…because you DON’T NEED to know everything. You’ll do better this week if you go in blind and just let yourself gravitate towards the conversations around what your real desires and ambitions are… not the one’s that you think you should have.

GEMINI SUN/RISING: What is freedom to you? You don’t really know anymore, do you? All you know right now is that you are ready for a cool shift. You are finding that there is whole scene around money, sex and intimacy that is making you SO UNCOMFORTABLE. What conversations have you had lately that has set the stage for the current atmosphere…or better yet what conversations did you not complete that needs to be cleaned up? Do that this week. Shame the devil and tell the truth.

CANCER SUN/RISING: You are not even TRYING to have dodgy partnerships or rock with the party line anymore. Luckily you are the very soul of grace and beauty these days….so you can pretty much get away with murder. You can really create your boundaries in a way that charms any opponents. At this point, folks want to hitch up to your wagon. You can really own your magic in ways that intrigue others and makes them WANT to feel your heat. Yes, right now you are white hot and you finally know it. Don’t waste this magic mojo.

LEO SUN/RISING: You are going to need to slow down this week. Like, REALLY slow down. Part of it is because of the Mercury Retrograde, and the other part of is because you need to harness your energy for when this Solar Eclipse in your sign happens next week. So take this week to get clear on what it is that you really want and to pay attention to the energy drains in your daily life. What aren’t you handling that you know that you should? Pay attention to how you communicate. Pay attention to what excites you. That’s a good jump off for you.

VIRGO SUN/RISING: There is a love/money reset that is necessary. You could take some time and dream big about something else coming your way, or you can keep it status quo. Yet you KNOW that there is something that you don’t quite understand about an issue around your new way of thinking...it’s like you have a block. Don’t worry my dear; this week will grant you clarity and smash that block in a bold, sexy way. Just surrender to it, and let your clan and crew lead you where you need to go. Hive mind is key.

LIBRA SUN/RISING: This week feels fated. You will look back at this week as the before everything changed. You are shifting in ways that no longer feels uncomfortable. Rather, you are totally surrendering to the flow that you know has needed to happen. There will be moments of such stunning synchronicity. Perhaps before the timing was never quite right. Don’t worry, this week the time is ripe. You may not feel it, or really grasp what it all means this week. But believe me, by the end of this year you will.

SCORPIO SUN/RISING: You have the chance to clean up your reputation this week. Let’s be real for a minute; Scorpio’s often struggle with not always being seen in the best of lights, and it’s a shame. However, the thing that happens this week is that you are truly open to finding out from others what your image really is. You will also have the chance for one of your planetary rulers (Pluto) to set free the parts of your life that have been shrouded in mystery for so long; your idea of freedom and of spiritual mastery will boom this week.

SAGITTARIUS SUN/RISING: It can be stressful for you to have to deal with issues that you feel don’t belong to you. This is part of your journey towards success and freedom. This week will help you gain the tools that you know you need to hone in order to get what you want. So now that we are here with that issue…what is it that you want? Has this idea shifted for you in some way?

The best part of this week is that you feel something that you thought was dead come back to life in an exciting and odd way.

CAPRICORN SUN/RISING: No one really understands how deep your need for independence really is. You have no interest in playing by anyone else’s rules, and this is a reality about yourself that you have REALLY owned in the past decade. Bravo. So here we are with the next chapter of intimacy and surrender that will ultimately test you in ways that you are just NOT into. The thing to remember this week is that you can’t gain a single thing if you don’t share. We aren’t naïve: Life and emotions always resemble a bargaining table…and it’s not a bad thing.

AQUARIUS SUN/RISING: Be ready. You are going to get what it is that you have asked for. Connections with others that will set you on fire. Mystical relationships that can seem shrouded in fantasy. You have a new feeling and focus around your daily life…you feel a sense of purpose. You no longer feel as if you are floating on the waves in some odd sea. No, this week you get reborn and fated meetings will abound. Just make sure to create better, more loving relationships with money; remember that money and sex are ALWAYS somehow intertwined.

PISCES SUN/RISING: While you are pretty much ALWAYS down to jump head first into a scorching hot affair, you know now that you have too much on the line to do that. However, the temptation will be so great this week that you will allow yourself to get swept up in something hot and fun. The key thing now is this: you know how to keep grounded. You learned this lesson the hard way. You know how to keep your boundaries in a way that gives you what you need rather than what you crave.

MERCURY RX – VOIR DIRE

We have yet another Mercury RX upon us; it starts on August 12 and ends on September 3. This Mercury RX will roll around between 11degrees Virgo and 28 degrees Leo. (If your birthday falls between August 19 and September 3 you will feel this energy in a ripe way)

If you are a Gemini or Virgo you might also feel Mercury RX’s since Mercury Rules both of these signs.

So I can go on about the usual madness that accompanies Mercury Retrogrades… like it’s not always a great time to move, sign contracts, travel or do anything with electronics or start a new job because Mercury rules all of these things (he’s the planet of communications, travel and anything around “mercantile” matters) while life still has to go on, and you might end up needing to go forth in all of these matters, I would suggest that you just really pay attention and be prepared for things to get a little wild. Life is NOT a situation that has guarantees….so we just need to buckle up and go for it.

It’s easy for us to get frustrated while all of this is going on…but we need to make sure that we are savvy enough to make the best of this time; such as going over old projects, cleaning up and getting our lives in order.

Ok. PSA finished. I really want to get to the nitty gritty of THIS particular Mercury RX.

So we have been in the shadow of this particular Mercury RX for a good minute…and I think that we can all attest to how vicious it’s felt.  BTW the shadow phase usually starts about 3 weeks before the Retrograde even begins…it’s like the Universe is getting us prepped and primed.

Even me…a watcher of the cosmos have been stunned by the weird and slightly nasty energy of the shadow. I think it’s because right around the time that the Mercury RX shadow started Mars and Saturn was super involved (btw these are two planets that are often nasty and aggressive)

However once the Retrograde begins…something interesting begins. While we are all feeling especially edgy and staring at the world with a gimlet eye…we are also waking up. This Mercury RX has us unable to do anything but to tell the truth. It’s like this Mercury RX will behave like a truth serum. It’s can’t be avoided. If we have been harboring lies in our lives or in our hearts, we will feel compelled to reveal them. However we will feel any of the nastiness fade…and a deep desire for honesty and loving clarity will occur.

Why is the day saved?

We can thank Venus, the planet of love and beauty for this magic.  She’s all over the cosmos this month, making compromises and healing hearts.

This Mercury RX is a journey to the heart of truth and love. It’s going to be dark and scary at times; after all vulnerability is often just this. However the rewards far outweigh the dangers of the heart.
