Taking the eye rolls out of Astrology

My goal is to bring a fresh, less "woo-woo" twist to the insanely detailed science of Astrology by providing fun, relatable content that anyone can understand and implement into their life (check out my Insta for some daily-ish inspiration). I do a variety of birth chart readings that are broken down under the "Services" section. Learning about your birth chart, or the "blue print of your life" as I like to call it, can slap you across the face with a heavy dose of self awareness and can be very therapeutic.

Look around and enjoy!

The @thefloweressencesdeck is perfect for the duality of Full Moons (see previous post for my breakdown). Each card has Patterns of Balance and Patterns of Imbalance. Much like you can possess either the high vibe or low vibe of each sign and planet in Astrology. . The one I pulled for this Full Moon in Pisces reads : PATTERNS OF BALANCE “perseverance, confidence; faith to continue despite apparent setbacks” PATTERNS OF IMBALANCE “discouragement after setback, doubt; depression due to a sense of failure” . Don’t let setbacks derail you! This emotional full moon may have ya wanting to linger in the imbalance but Y’ALL GOT THIS! (Ps - my fave flower shop has affordable crystals if you’re in the market @anewleafchicago or just go there to swoon bc it’s a beautiful place!)
Nothing like a Full Moon on Friday the 13th, ay? This is the Harvest Moon - not only one of my all time favorite songs but it also means it’s almost the Fall Equinox and Fall is the best season am-I-right? . Full Moons are when the Sun & the Moon are directly opposite of each other in the sky. This brings two different signs (two different areas of our charts) into play. Emotions and instincts are at their peak during Full Moons and they like to highlight what needs to be released or balanced out in our lives. This one falls in Pisces. . Pisces is the sign that rules over our subconscious, higher mind, belief systems, habits, alone time, contemplation... Each sign has its good and bad and your expression of them is up to you, your free will and maturity levels. Pisces at its best is highly intuitive, reflective, great at listening, wise/old soul, empathetic and creative. At its worst it can lead to numbing out, bad habits, laziness and seclusion. Everyone has Pisces in their chart regardless of if you have planets there - see what house/area of life it falls in your birth chart and do a pulse check of whether you are living the high vibe or the low vibe of Pisces there. . There are some challenging aspects in the sky with Mars, Jupiter and Neptune (ruler of Pisces). This can bring out some moodiness and sass from Mars, overindulgence from Jupiter and confusion/delusion from Neptune. Basically everyone will be feeling either literally or figuratively drunk AF, y’all! Flip that script and tap into this highly intuitive full moon while still paying attention to reality so you don’t get swept away. Release, release, release! . The Full Moon is at 21° of Pisces. For all my peeps with a personal chart from a reading with me - see where this falls for you then check out your guide cards I made you that describe the houses to get a glimpse of what area of life needs some reflection and balancing!
I’m looking forward to Saturn going direct next week 🙋🏼‍♀️. . When direct we can start using effort, responsibility & dedication towards NEW things rather then cleaning up everything that’s been on our plates the past 5months. For me it’s the old school way of emailing back and forth to schedule appointments! Starting next week, on Saturn Direct (9/18), I’ll be streamlining thannnngggs (hallelujah!)
There’s duality in the sky today as our logic gets tested by illusion and confusion. . Mercury - our logic, is in the most logical sign of Virgo which is having us focus on details on the surface and getting things done. Mercury loves being in Virgo bc it can be laser sharp and productive as hell. But today it’s squaring Jupiter (big picture, expansion) & opposing Neptune (beliefs, subconscious). *Reminder - squares and oppositions are tension, energy working against each other. Trines and sextiles are support, energy in flow* All three are in their “home placements” meaning they are in the sign that they rule, making them all in their strength and not backing down. . Mercury will have to lay down the sword so to speak today. Be in the moment and don’t try and force a logical answer (Mercury in Virgo). Instead, try to let go and trust in the bigger picture that the universe has for us (Jupiter & Neptune). Use your intuition! The Sun and Saturn are in flow today which will definitely help keep us moving productively through this confusion (or imaginative/creative time if you look at it positively 😉). . 📷 : mine from my time in Israel
Today is the New Moon in Virgo! Virgo energy is more logical and practical “I’ll believe it when I see it” but New Moons are all about manifesting and new energy. Let’s FLIP THE SCRIPT! Start believing it first and then watch as it appears 💕. . This new moon was at 7 ° Virgo - this is where something new will show up to work on/towards over the next month. Write you lists of the things you’d like to manifest 🌙✨
Mars and Venus meet in the sky today... it’s mating season! Jk jk but kind of? Mars rules action and drive- Venus rules creativity, love, social, and all the lovely scrumptious things in life. Together they equal PASSION. Everyone will be feeling charismatic, social, a creative surge and the urge to partner up if single. . Since it is happening in Virgo this creative/romantic boost will have more of a focus to it. In romance, Virgo is more picky, earthy, practical, selfless and realistic rather then a hopeless romantic vibe. While Mars and Venus together is super flirty, sexy and passionate - the Virgo vibes are taming it towards more of an urge for commitment rather then a one and done. With creativity, it can add the structure necessary to develop our ideas into tangible results. . Take advantage of this energy and get out there today! Be social, be charming, do something creative or surround yourself in a creative activity! Maybe add in some Virgo flair by getting outside in nature?
Virgo season begins Friday (Sun enters Virgo) but it has already kicked off with a “get shit done” bang! This is bc Mars & Venus have already moved into Virgo from Leo (& Mercury will be there soon!). Leo season was a time filled w/ inspiration & self expression but now it’s time to get practical & make those things a reality! . Virgos are the doers & they do so selflessly. Great communicators, have their shit together (if not, seem to), don’t skip steps like most of us & don’t have to be pushed to work hard. They’re talented in seeing the potential in things & people & want to help perfect them. Though always from a sincere place, it can come off critical if the receiving end isn’t ready to hear the feedback. They always put effort to better themselves as well - which equally can come w/ being self critical. . The strive for perfection can almost stop Virgo in their tracks. I call this the “Procrastinating Perfectionist” (a therapy term- one of the many self improvement tools Virgos love). This happens when we put a task off until we can do it perfectly to completion bc the thought of doing it half assed can cause anxiety. “I’ll wait until I have an uninterrupted x amount of hrs, have energy & feel motivated”. The biggest message I give during readings about having a lot of Virgo &/or 6th house placements - “consistency over perfection”. Find something you can & want to stick w/ rather then trying to do all.of.the.things. Instead of “I wake up, journal, do affirmations, go run x miles, make a smoothie, etc...” try something small like “I’m going to have a cup of tea every morning at the same time or a short 5min meditation to center & have some me time - anything more is a bonus!”. Virgos need consistency in order to feel in flow. If they let their life/schedule get chaotic - it gets overwhelming, the self critic comes out onto themselves & others, procrastination & a tendency towards latching on to the neg. . Virgos (& people w/ many planets in Virgo or the 6th house) we need you! You’re so giving of your time, effort & love. You’re working harder then the majority - give yourself some much needed credit & try to slow down & look at all you have achieved!! 💛
Guess what y’all? As of today, Jupiter is direct & Uranus is retrograde! Finally some change!I’ve been MIA so we have a lot to cover... 🎨: @marcjohnsart . When Jupiter goes retrograde, it doesn’t cause any trouble, but it does slow down new opportunities so we can get refocused on what we have already achieved and go inward to appreciate these things. Now that it is back in action it’s time to pursue & receive new opportunities, expand, manifest abundance, & be more optimistic. We’ve been in that edge of our seats vibe and confused for a while - this will shift things big time!! Where does 14° Sagittarius fall in your chart? This is where things are particularly about to get really good! . Uranus is one of the planets that actually is a relief when it goes retrograde. It’s the planet of sudden change, excitement, disruption - it’s unpredictable. What house does 6° of Taurus fall for you? This area will get a breather and feel more peaceful rather then anxious and need to break free vibes it was having. Taurus rules money, love, self worth, security - these are also some overarching themes that will have less chaos and get a breather 🙏🏻 . The moon, which is our emotional pulse, is a bit in the womp womp feels today as it goes over the heavy vibes of Saturn, Pluto & the South Node. The moon moves very quickly though (changes signs every two-ish days) so if you happen to feel this, it won’t last long - it’s just wanting us to put in the work towards our emotional health if we haven’t been. I mention this quick vibe only to reassure you if you feel a little blah today. It’s just one little more hump before the long lasting greatness of the Jupiter and Uranus shifts!
The two sweethearts in the sky, Venus and Jupiter, are in a trine today. They are both so lovely when they trine solo but the combo of them together... we can’t help but have a social and happy day! . Venus is the planet of love, money, creativity, beauty, comforts, balance, social activities... all the lovely, fancy, receptive things. Jupiter is the planet of optimism, openness, learning, expansion, luck, wisdom, adventure... everything that expands us. Together, plan on a highly romantic or highly creative day, a money day, beneficial & fun social interactions, and an overall charming feeling. We should all feel like showing more love today but just keep in mind that the ability/ease in showing love & affection is a sign of our own self love & self worth (truth bomb). . One caution with these two is the whole idea of “too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.” We could be feeling too optimistic and not be able to see through our rose tinted glasses and only seeking bliss so we end up being lazy with things that need to get done. Also the chances of OVERINDULGENCE are high. It’s like the serotonin is taking over and we can’t help ourselves!! So be mindful of the food and booze intake, the ease of the credit card swipe, the inability to see red flags in love, and if you’re like me... wanting to adopt ALL OF THE DOGS. . Have a good day! 💛

There’s a new moon in Leo late tonight and exactly one hour later, Mercury goes direct! NEW ENERGY, YA’LL - can I get a Hale yasss?! . New moons are always a time for getting clear and manifesting. In Leo, the over all vibe is a creative and fun energy. Let your inner child out to play! Who do you have the most fun with? What do you still love doing that you used to do as a kid? What would you pursue if you didn’t give a F about what anyone else thought/said??? Leo’s are all about self expression so let that joy flow and don’t hold back. . Even though Mercury will be going direct, keep in mind that it’s not so much back in flow yet - it’s at a stand still as it pivots directions and we can feel most out of it around the days that it is shifting. In a couple of days it’ll be all systems go for communication and logic. And it gets better and better throughout the month with Jupiter going direct, a full moon and ANOTHER new moon (two new moons in one month is rare and called a Blue Moon “once in a blue moon”). . It’s also my birthday tomorrow - woot! A new moon on your bday is great luck (I’m counting it since it’s just 2hrs before 😉) so You can catch me double manifesting tonight ✌🏼🌙. . New moon falls at 8° of Leo. That will be the area of your chart where 30 days of new energy will begin. Don’t forget to write your manifestation lists tonight 💫
Sun (ego) squares Uranus (unpredictable) today. This is an exciting energy that can come with some sudden changes. The issue is that most of us find sudden changes unnerving. . Today we may notice some people more reactive and on edge bc of the threat to the ego this is causing. Also, Mercury is almost at a stand still, getting ready to go direct in a couple of days, so logic is a bit unreliable at the same time. If you can, avoid conflicts today and stay calm and flexible. . Use the energy to break free of certain things you’ve been trying to let go of (bad habits, insecurities, relationships that aren’t uplifting) that are negatively impacting your ability to shine (Sun). . Most of all, enjoy the ride! We’ve been needing some exciting energy to shift some of the stagnant vibes. Much more exciting changes to come in August!
