WEEKLY HOROSCOPES 8/22-8/28 - HALT

Here we go, another week that takes us even closer to some answer, some revelation…some new beginning that is cloaked in some kind of mystery. That’s the cool thing about our Astrological scene; things really are shifting and changing … but it’s really cool how it’s happening. It’s kinda frothy, glittery and almost playful. Keep this in mind as we enter the terrain of Eclipse Land.

Anyhoo, moving right along. This week is going to be a wild one. Mercury is going Rx OFFICIALLY. Yeah, I know we are all feeling it but now it’s legitimately happening. In addition to this, there’s a happy little party between Venus, Jupiter and Mercury; this is a cool scene where communications seem to flow easier, deals are made and hands are shaken with good will. Even though Mercury Rx is lurking in the background, this is still a great vibe for getting things DONE.

Mars will meet up with Saturn, and will be in a tango for a few weeks. I know a lot of folks are a little freaked out by this, but I have this transit in my natal chart, so speaking from first hand info, it’s actually good if you are trying to hatch a big plan. It may put up delays, but it’s the kind that happens in order to make sure that you have all of your t’s crossed.  It’s about focus, and patience.

CRIB SHEETS FOR USING THIS WEEK’S ENERGY:

ARIES SUN/RISING: This week is offering you an opening to really figure out what it is that you are trying to make happen in your life. It’s been a lot of stops and starts, but you are growing and transforming. You know how a plant only grows as big as it’s vessel? That’s the case with you. You need a bigger pot for your roots to grow, for YOU to grow. Does that make any sense? I bet it does.

TAURUS SUN/RISING: For you it’s been the never-ending desire to find that real connection with someone…to bond. This isn’t always an easy task; the ability to be truly intimate with another person is something that just isn’t necessarily hard wired within us. It’s challenging, since so often this is dependent of playing by someone else’s rules. This week I think you’ll touch upon a missing piece that will give you the love and the freedom that you seek.

GEMINI SUN/RISING: This whole partnership scene can be such a drag…when everything gets tangled up and just doesn’t seem to make any sense. You are gaining a stronger sense of what it means to be beholden to people, to maintain and strengthen the bonds between the most important people in your life and you. However you are also getting a better sense of what you need to do in order to truly rocket ahead in your life. Only take the people with you who root for you, and who truly want to see you succeed.

CANCER SUN/RISING: My simple message to you this week is this: Muscle has memory. You may think that something in your life has come and gone…that you need to let go of a dream or a hope. I think what does need to be let go of are nasty old habits and that bullshit baggage that drags you down (you KNOW what I mean). However, your heart is a muscle. It doesn’t forget how to love. Neither do you. Just remember that this week.

LEO SUN/RISING: I do think that the more you look at how much your life has shifted the more you would be so proud of how far you have come. Some of that had to come at the price of learning how to be humble… definitely not a thing that comes easy to you. However this week you’ll get a better glimpse of what it is that you need to do next to feel more like you. What I mean is this: not the version of you that you had been, but the version of YOU that you are becoming.

VIRGO SUN/RISING: This is THE week for you to go big. Yes, this has been a transformative year yada yada yada…but seriously this is the week where you need to be up and on. You can grab that gold ring. You’ve spent this entire year searching for it, trying to figure out what that would be for you. Now your time has arrived. I don’t mean to put any pressure on you, but now is the time. It’s not like you won’t get another chance…but this week will present you with exactly what it is that you want.

LIBRA SUN/RISING: You really are a beguiling creature…with a poker face and a will of steel under that smile. No one really knows what is going on under the surface, and folks have continuously underestimated you. Silly rabbits. They don’t know how hard it is to walk that line, to single handedly keep people from descending into animals. You are the gatekeeper. However this week you will start to put your will forward. No one will be prepared for this turn of events. Honestly, this makes me smile. Go get ‘em.

SCORPIO SUN/RISING: Your ability to transform right now sends chills up and down my spine. Truly. You are able to tap into this crazy ability to transcend, to channel and to shed that old skin. Who are you? Who are you becoming? Who have you been? All that time and space stuff may no longer apply to you. Play it straight, and lay off any remaining knee jerk desires to make something into a power play. Be the highest version of yourself, and you’ll be all right.

SAGITTARIUS SUN/RISING: Be like a palm tree this week. Why? Well simply because palm trees are flexible, and can withstand hurricanes and typhoons, as opposed to the mighty oak tree that crashes during a heavy storm. That being said, this is because you are going to have to navigate a lot of things this week that are going to require you being a boss but you need to remember that the goal is to achieve what it is that you need in order to move ahead, not to be right or the baddest person in the room.

CAPRICORN SUN/RISING: This week will be the beginning of a brand new phase of your spiritual evolution and overall transformation. What does that mean? Quite simply you are growing in leaps and bounds in a metaphysical sense. This is the kind of growth that gets you ready for something big and brave. You aren’t content with what things had been; rather you are ready to test-drive this new side of yourself.

AQUARIUS SUN/RISING: You have learned so much about what it is that you desire and need; the upcoming astro vibe is a mess, I’m not going to lie. However here is the deal for you; you have to make sure that you don’t slip slide into old patterns. That’s the trick for you. That you don’t go back to the habit of just making do with what you have, or settling for less when you know you are worth waaaay more than what folks are trying to trick you into being ok with. Be strong, be smart and remember that you are untamable.

PISCES SUN/RISING: I’m pretty excited for you this week. While you’ll need to deal with some administrative –ish in your life, you will also find out that you have some pretty awesome allies. There are people in your life that really want to see you succeed, and are betting on you. You need to be careful that you don’t let others down by accidentally slip-sliding into the person you used to be. You are in the process of evolving. 

Starstruck Autumn: FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS – A MATTER OF CURIOSITY

FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS – A MATTER OF CURIOSITY

Here we are on the brink of a rather controversial Full Moon in Aquarius.  It occurs 5:27 AM on August 18^th. It’s controversial because some folks think it’s a Full Moon, and others think that it’s a Lunar Eclipse. It kinda feels like an Eclipse, yet it doesn’t technically behave like one; it doesn’t cast the right shadow to be entirely considered a lunar eclipse.

That being said, it’s still a pretty fantastic Full Moon. I personally love anything Aquarius; it’s untamable energy. It will not be told what to do…and yet can always find the right answer.

The thing about this Full Moon is that it’s a really busy one. Aspects are being made to it that make it so much more than your ordinary Full Moon. Aquarius is usually focused on the individual in the group; the ability to be detached from everything, yet fully a part of all that is occurring.

This Full Moon in it’s truest form is one that is asking you to begin a fresh start. If you can’t quite do it, than at least entertain the idea of a new beginning. Do you need to imagine an escape plan? What is it that you need to do in order to be truly free? What possibility of being or living is brewing for you? What could be around that next corner?

This is the kind of stuff that makes people nervous. No one really wants to totally upend an apple cart, or to totally start over; it feels hard and scary. However we cannot escape from the truth.

Uranus is the star of the show for this Full Moon for 2 reasons; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius and present day Uranus in Aries is making easy aspects to both the Sun and the Moon. Whatever occurs to you is going to come out of the blue.

There is something in your life that needs a make over, a do over or that needs to be scrapped all together. Where are you on autopilot? ‘cause nothing pisses Aquarius more than folks who are behaving like zombies.

Since this Full Moon is kinda sorta like a Lunar Eclipse, know that whatever comes up this Full Moon is going to be coming round until it’s fully set in your psyche. Change on this deep a level takes a minute or two.

Let the possibility of complete change marinate.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES 8/15 – 8/21 : EAGER

Hello my moon babies! This week has a lot of action to move the plot along. We have the Full Moon in Aquarius as well as a helpful Venus/Pluto trine. Because Aquarius is involved with this Full Moon and Uranus is making moves (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius) we can never be entirely sure what to expect. What I would tell you to expect this week is illumination and action, all rolled up in one eccentric bundle. Don’t forget that Mercury RX is in another 2 weeks, so things could quite possibly begin to get a little weird.

CRIB SHEETS ON HOW TO HANDLE THIS WEEK’S VIBES:

ARIES SUN/RISING: This week is one where you will receive messages from seemingly the beyond. However this week gets a shine on in dealing with your friends and community. You have been busy with getting yourself organized and tapping into the goods of what brings you joy; this week you’ll get the necessary jolt to your social life that you have needed.

TAURUS SUN/RISING: Expect some motion this week….it’s going to be a fast paced week where you get the chance to up your professional game as well as bringing some old chapter on how you think you are seen to a satisfying close. I would also expect an overall feeling of well being; see what happens when you really let yourself connect with others.

GEMINI SUN/RISING: You’ve got a fresh attitude and the knowledge that you are indeed free; any chains that you thought were around you or any ideas that all of this is “just how things are now” will revealed for the rubbish that it really is. You are learning that you make your own rules, and you are grasping how as long as you follow through with your word, you can free within the world you are trying to create.

CANCER SUN/RISING:  This week you become a boss at creating the necessary boundaries that you have needed to create for a long time (quite frankly). You don’t need to be rude, just firm and possibly you’ll need to be kind to those that are confused by the changes you are implementing. It’s a process for everyone. Keep focusing on what is truly yours, and what you’ll need to share.

LEO SUN/RISING: Your relationships get a shining light this week, the most powerful partnerships that you are trying to create or already have in motion. You will also get a few a-ha moments regarding your finances…how you spend your money and how you make it. It’s not a scary thing that will happen, just enlightening. Truth be told you already know all of this; all of this is confirmation to what you’ve been thinking.

VIRGO SUN/RISING: There will be a few pivotal moments in regards to your routine. Work/health stuff may get a shining light, and giving you a few innovative ways that will suite you and the new life you have been creating. Will there be nerve-wracking moments? Yeah, sure. Any time there is a shift it can bring anxiety. However you are smart enough to work everything to be in your favor.

LIBRA SUN/RISING: Who really understands just what it is that makes an individual happy (after all isn’t happiness relative?) however this week you will get a number of delicious moments that helps you tap into whatever your personal version of happiness is. It could very well come seemingly out of the blue, and you may not entirely trust random gifts. Be open this week to whatever amazing weirdness comes your way.

SCORPIO SUN/RISING: This week will be one where it can simultaneously close than open a door in regards to a home/family thing that has been going on. Moreover, this week will be one where you’ll need to really define what it is that you want in your life, and who you want to become. You aren’t entirely sure what that looks like; that’s fine. All you need to do is be open to the fact that you are living an outmoded way of being.

SAGITTARIUS SUN/RISING: What stories have been living in you? Sure you have been having an amazing time figuring out what it is that you would like to do next in your life… things that match up with the very cool new you that has been brewing. However this week will give you the opportunity to become even more self aware than you have been before, enough so you know what it is that you want to express.

CAPRICORN SUN/RISING: You’ll be getting a boost in regards to your ability to pull a resurrection act. You have a fantastic chance to meet someone who can help you onto the next part of what it is that you are striving to do. Most importantly, you are also on the brink of some really positive healing/money/magic mojo occurring.

AQUARIUS SUN/RISING: Quite frankly, you could use this kind of Full Moon. It’s time for you to get in touch with all of your transformations, and to say goodbye to one perception of yourself, to open up to another…more authentic version of that. Change is the only constant, and it’s an insult to be told, “You haven’t changed a bit!” However knowing you and how you march to your own beat/own band who you are could surprise even you.

PISCES SUN/RISING: Who knew that you would be given the gift of slow down right before the wilds of eclipse season? That’s what this Full Moon is. It gives you some breathing room before you’ll need to jump into the fray. This Full Moon will be truthful with you, and illuminate some of the old stuff that’s been living rent free in your psyche. Let yourself learn how to be free.

AUGUST: A COSMIC ANIMAL HOUSE

 

Hello my lovely star watchers! I would like to take a moment and acknowledge the craziness that is going on in the world, and talk about the real shift that is happening.Change is hard and scary, and we are indeed living in dangerous time. We can not longer afford to be naive. Rather, it’s time that we become aware of shifting energy, and to know that sometimes the best thing that we can do is to make sure we are doing our best to shine bright, and vibe as high as we can in order to block out and diminish the terrors and darkness of the world.

That being said, I want to talk about what a wild month we have ahead. We are all totally ready for this shifting energy; it’s almost like a wild, rolicking Frat house with every kegger a school project, with a very sharp learning curve. Think of Fast Times at Ridgemont high; hijinks, parties, hard life lessons and it all happening under the stern eye of a cosmic Mr. Hand. We can thank an upcoming Mercury RX, Mars/Saturn Conjunction, a Venus/Pluto trine and another series of mutable crosses & t-squares. Not to mention the cosmos are gearing up for the upcoming September eclipses.

CRIB SHEETS FOR USING THIS MONTH’S ENERGIES:

ARIES SUN/RISING: It’s a funny thing when you have so much energy concentrated in a particular theme in your life. You always want to play...but most importantly you (especially now) chafe against restrictions and rules. Luckily now you don’t really have to. However, to your dismay you are becoming your own authority, and making your own rules and responsible decisions. In some ways you are unrecognizable to yourself. This is a time of creating stability in your life, if you know it or not.

TAURUS SUN/RISING: It’s your new found ability to relate that could now be your best asset. In regards to partnerships, love and your overall lust for life, you have been in positions where you WANT. Where you are desperate for a shift, or opening up to a new and tender side of yourself. The next few weeks will be a time of review of all that you have learned in regards to relationships, good and bad. I think the most important thing here is you have learned how you show up in said relationships.

GEMINI SUN/RISING: Your life for a good chunk of 2016 closely resembles the classic The Band song “The Weight”. A craving for mobility and something else but not being allowed even a smidge of wiggle room. Them’s the breaks this year kid, I’m sorry to say. You might be paying the piper for all of those times you have escaped unscathed from this or that. Nevertheless, the other lessons of this year that really drives home this month is that you are really taking charge of your life in a way that feels very un-like you but is very impressive to those who are watching what your whole scene is.

CANCER SUN/RISING: Oh my dear Lords and Ladies of the Seas...there is something in the next month or so that can make your feel like the White Rabbit...you are verry late to a very important date. Yes, you ABSOLUTELY need to keep your hustle strong, and not to ever let them see you sweat. I don’t mean to shout, but I really want you guys to understand what a vital time this is in regards to your development. You won’t dance on attendance to a homicidal Queen of Hearts, but you will make sure that can adeptly navigate this strange shifting underworld. My money's on you.

LEO SUN/RISING: You have probably been feeling that love is overall elusive, as well as a passion for life in general. However this month is going to have a huge surge in feeling the opposite of what you feel now. There is an undeniable vibe of mate/date heat or just a general feeling of...well heat. You may have sworn off love & sex and that whole scene...or convinced yourself that you are set for a lifetime of singlehood and such...if you are coupled you may feel that the thrill is permanantly gone. This month will show you that is untrue. Also, your whole $$ scene is about to get a rebirth.

VIRGO SUN/RISING: Life is full of ups and downs...and this something that you are sensible enough to embrace without any energy wasting foot stomping of the “it’s just not fair” variety. Out of all of the signs, you are the one that will achieve the most, and be able to make this energy work for you. Jupiter in Virgo isn’t done with you yet! Even this blasted Mutable square hasn’t put too much of a hitch in your giddy-up. The thing that can make everything seem dark and sad is the acceptance of something in your love life/partnership scene that is rough to handle, but needs to accepted.

LIBRA SUN/RISING: This is the month, you know. The month where it’s very much emotional/psychic house-cleaning crunch time. You CAN NOT afford to carry any of your old shit (or shit that doesn’t belong to you) into the next phase of your life. You nod your head, aware of this truth...but it feels uncomfortable no matter how ready you think that you are. Forget who you ever were. Folks you run into from years past (this Mercury RX will ensure this happens) will tilt their heads, purse their lips and say “you seem so different”. Folks don’t always like change. But when this happens, smile and say “thank you, I know”.

SCORPIO SUN/RISING: Keep your mind sharp and your tongue soft. This month can drag up the old hurts...and a hurt Scorpio is a terrifying thing. You know this, and in some ways take pride in this knowledge. However this month is more about transforming the crap and smelly pieces of your life into fertilizer, rather than a garbage dump. Use what you have learned to make roses bloom and lotus flowers gleam. After all, the more beautiful and gleaming the lotus petals, the skankier and dirtier the mud in which it grows.

SAGITTARIUS SUN/RISING: Folks aren’t always aware of just how resilient and powerful you are. You are a child of Jupiter! never forget that. You are a sign that can really make the most of Saturn transiting your sign; it’s a magnificent thing to behold. This month is one where you can bloom, even though the ground is shifting and shaking beneath all of our feet. The next month or so will round out what you are experiencing in regards to your ambition/reality scene. However for August, know that the time to get really serious about your path has arrived, and you are more than up for the challenge.

CAPRICORN SUN/RISING: There is some righteous evolution stuff happening for you, and this month will be one where it will all be gone over for you to dissect and pay attention to. You are able to connect with others in a way that you didn’t know you were capable of, and your whole Jedi/Spiritual Warrior thing is going full steam ahead. You are sensible here, and know that to resist the fabulous growth is silly. In fact, the whole new landscape feels authentic to you at this point. If you arent’ sure why that is, you’ll figure it out sooner than later.

AQUARIUS SUN/RISING: Your transformation game is hella strong, and you know it. You are fearless here, because you know enough is enough. You are delving into old family sagas, and somehow taking yourself out of the equation, because you know better than you did before. You are clearing the space for some serious mind blowing oppertunties, and a very welcome shift that is a heartbeat away. Don’t worry so much about what you should/shouldn’t be doing. Just be authentic to yourself.

PISCES SUN/RISING: You have been experiencing some pretty awesome growth opportunities as well as a grand awareness of what is going on for you partnership/love wise. You are getting your boundaries set in stone, and learning how to balance your needs in the light of the other. This could be because of Jupiter hanging out in your 7th house of love/partnerships. Or it could be because of your razor sharp perceptions these days.
