Intense energies for the week of July 1

July starts off with a Bang! How appropriate with the holiday just a few days away. This month's
energies are intense, but you may not feel like you are moving forward. But you are. Let me explain.

On July 1, Mars moves from the sign of Cancer, which he didn't like because of its watery influence over the fire planet, and into Leo. Mars loves to be in the fire sign. Fire and more fire gives you a big boost towards action!

Then on July 2, a new Moon, in Cancer arrives in time for you to plant your seeds of intention. However it is not just like any new Moon. It is influenced by the total solar eclipse happening also in the sign of Cancer. Whatever dreams you have bubbling up from deep inside of you, I hope they are big and bold because this type of cosmic energy can help propel those dreams. Make sure you focus on the positive -- what you want. Do NOT focus on what you don't want or else that will be what you end of manifesting.

By July 7, the universe hits the cosmic (pause) button. Mercury goes retrograde at 4 degrees of Leo. I don't usually mention degree points but this one is important. When a planet is retrograde, it travels backwards, so Mercury will retrograde back into the sign of Cancer, a water sign that governs family, mother, and feelings. During this retrograde old situations, hurts, wounds that trigger our emotions may surface and they are meant to so that they may be healed. Sometimes during a retrograde, a person from the past returns so that you can close that relationship or review the lesson it brought to you.

Mercury is in retrograde for the rest of the month and will turn direct on August 1. So what you thought was going to be a month of action, turns into a month of reflection, revision, and closure.

Make sure you take care of yourself this month. Check out my tarot reading for the month on my Facebook page.

Cheers and many Blessings to you

Energies and Astrology for week of June 23

This past week the sun entered Cancer which signaled the summer solstice. The energy of this new phase lingers as the sun shines on and illuminates the shadows (or what is going on in the shadows collectively).

On June 23 (today), a T-square is formed between Venus (in Gemini), Jupiter (in Sagittarius), and Neptune (in Pisces). A square aspect involves two planets in conflict with each other and results in energy to trigger us to take action to resolve what ever challenge is at hand. A T-square involves three planets and can represent a more difficult influence or challenge for which we are energized to resolve. This T-square lasts the entire week. It will end on June 29.

So what does this particular aspect involving Venus, Jupiter and Neptune mean?

Venus and Jupiter are the benefic planets -- bringing us love, rewards, accolades and success. The energy will be one of wanting to live "the good life." This week enjoy good food and drink, treat yourself to a massage or facial. Do something that makes you feel like you are living in luxury. Soak your feet and eat your favorite ice cream. BUT don't overdo it, especially if your bank account can't handle a luxe lifestyle. Everything is wonderful in moderation. For couples, this would be a good week to plan a date night. For you singles, gather some friends together for dinner at home or out at your favorite eatery.

The Venus and Neptune part of this T-square is a little more serious. The conflict between these two planets may trigger self-doubt or questions of self-worth. Neptune rules the imagination and perception of truth/illusions. Don't let your fears take over this week. If you have mental health issues like bi-polar or paranoia, please take your meds and see your counselor. The key to getting through this energy is to stay grounded! If you do a review of the recent past year, then focus on the positive things you have experienced or accomplished!

I repeat this T-square lasts the entire week. It will end on June 29.

On June 24, Mercury (in Cancer) squares Uranus (in Taurus). This aspects lasts through June 30th. Mercury rules how we express ourselves and the conflict with Uranus may make our communication opinionated, brusque, and insensitive. It may, in connection with the aspects described above, result in our expression being very emotional and conveying our self-doubt and skepticism onto others. Be mindful and temper what you are thinking and what you are saying (or writing or tweeting)!

For the intuitive card reading and message for the week go to my Facebook page.

I have begun to look ahead at July and plan to write another blog post mid-week to talk about the solar eclipse on July 2 and  Mercury going retrograde on July 7. I have a feeling July is going to be an incredible month!

Have a magical week, take care of yourself and stay grounded.

Astrology for the week of June 10, 2019

Neptune, Mars, and Mercury are all very active this week. Energies of psychic activation, challenging judgmental tendencies, and the fog of confusion or the clarity of creating your own reality are in the mix.

On Monday, June 10, the Sun (which is still stationed in Gemini) is in opposition to Jupiter (retrograde and in Sagittarius). Don't go to excess under Jupiter's influence today. Jupiter likes to expand, increase, blow-up everything it touches that can be both good or bad. Everything in moderation today and with the Sun in Gemini, a very communicative sign, moderate your expressions, opinions, and judgement.

On Thursday and Friday, June 13-14, Mars, (stationed in Cancer)  is making a positive connection with (trines) Neptune (transiting its home sign Pisces). Mars is about action and movement forward. The positive connection with Neptune may mean that psychic and spiritual senses are activated or heightened. Your dreams may be very interesting so be sure to keep a dream journal by your bed.

However at the same time Mars is opposing Saturn (in Capricorn) and Saturn likes to restrict movement forward. Saturn wants to make sure you have learned all your lessons and done all your work. That hard work pays off if you are working on your spiritual gifts, but don't be discouraged if it slows down.

On Saturday and Sunday, June 15-16, Mercury connects with (trines) Neptune; is in opposition to Saturn and Pluto; and is conjunct with Mars!  He is enjoying a very busy weekend.
When one planet trines another, they are working in harmony, so Mercury the communication planet will work harmoniously with the energy of Neptune communicating and expressing the psyche. Mercury and Mars in a conjunction means that they are infusing their individual energies into a more intense and powerful experience. Communication & Action joined together. They could really blow themselves out of proportion, but they won't because the opposition to Saturn and Pluto will have a grounding effect. I would still expect a lot of social energy and the psychic senses to really be activated regardless.

Now if that is not enough, the biggest energy of the week occurs on Sunday, June 16 with Jupiter challenging or in a square aspect to Neptune. This is the second time this year these two planets have squared off and a third time will occur in September. Square aspects mean conflict that results in action to resolve the conflict. Jupiter, the good luck planet, is at home in Sagittarius, but also retrograde. Jupiter rules knowledge, higher learning, honesty, a willingness to try new experiences. Jupiter wants to expand your knowledge and your zest for life. Neptune is the planet of mystery, imagination, and illusion. So get ready for a clash between fact and fiction, reality and fantasy. Be discerning as you proceed through this energy.

May you have an awesome week!

Astrology for the week of June 3-9

We have  great energies to harness this week with the opportunity to set big intentions into motion. Don't hesitate to dream big!!!


To start the week, there is a new Moon in Gemini on June 3. It is a chance for us to set new intentions on the mental level. Gemini rules the mental realm, learning, and communication. The new moon and new start begins in the mind. Every action we take begins with a thought. Powerful new intentions can be made this month, but it all starts with our thoughts.

This is important because the new Moon (in Gemini) is in opposition to Jupiter (transiting Sagittarius) which means the energy is pushing us to review and evaluate our long held beliefs. Are those beliefs still true and for our highest good at this time?

To further complicate matters, the Moon is also square to Neptune (in Pisces). Neptune likes to cloud up the thinking. Aspects that square two heavenly bodies against each other mean that there is a conflict which will force us to take action. If you have doubts about what intention to set, listen to your deep intuitive voice. The positive factor in this aspect is that there is an opportunity to create our own realities. Our imaginations will get a boost from Neptune. Big dreams can be set into motion with this new Moon. 


On June 4, Mercury, the planet that rules Gemini, moves from Gemini into Cancer and stays there until June 26. The mental focus and energy shifts to family and home. Communication may be more emotional under the water sign of Cancer.

On June 8, Venus moves from Taurus into Gemini where she can be extra flirty. As if Gemini's need that boost!  She will be in Gemini until July 3 and this is your opportunity to generate new ideas around money and finance.

Starting on June 9 and going into June 10, the Sun squares Neptune as well bring confusing energy to the collective.

Have an awesome and magical week!
