Week of August 16, 2022 (Copy)
Here is what to expect for the week ahead and an AuraArt print to illustrate the energies above and within us. Enjoy!
This week will feel like the moment before you leave the house for something important. Shoes on. Phone, keys, sunglasses, wallet. Shut off the lights, and shut the door on an era. When you return, everything will have changed.
We’re finally past the Moon Wobble this week, so emotions should be stabilizing as the Moon widdles down to a sliver and our energy levels match. This is the best week to take care of some energetic and literal housekeeping to keep the feng shui just right.
Mercury in its home of Virgo teams up with Uranus in a nice trine on Tuesday, leading to surprise information, energized conversations, and big breakthroughs. Give yourself a moment to look at all the data on the table because you might be surprised at how things connect when you change your mindset and point of view. Keep the afternoon light so you don’t reach a breaking point of exhaustion before the Taurus Moon adds a dose of calm to the atmosphere.
Wednesday will be a little bit self-indulgent but one-hundred percent romantic! The Taurus Moon connects with Venus in Leo at a sharp angle, creating pressure. You’re likely to move through your day at a much slower pace and if someone wants you to move faster, you’re apt to go slower just out of spite, especially if you’re the fiery type. Matters of romance and money could test you a bit today. Be careful not to lay it on too thick or take too much. Lean on your close friends today. The trine between Venus and Jupiter in fire signs will be building all day, adding to this sugary sweet feeling. It could mean luck is on the horizon, especially for fire signs.
Surprises are rampant Thursday morning as the Taurus Moon meets Uranus in a conjunction. When the Moon curls up to the planet of surprises, there’s likely to be some shake-ups, but hopefully not too many upsets. Tyrants will be extra critical as Mercury and Saturn seem to disagree on everything. Criticisms will sting more than usual, so it’s best to put your strongest armor on in the morning. The playing field should level out as the day moves along. Taking a grounded, methodical approach that’s dipped in logic will serve you the best.
Take note of what you’re wrapping up and clearing out by the end of the week. The last quarter of this Moon cycle is upon us, giving us the option to set ablaze anything that didn’t make the cut into the next chapter. When we turn it to ash, we make fertilizer for the next phase––and we want that next phase to be rich.
Mars in Taurus will be in rare form on Friday, so expect things to slug along and tempers to be at their most stubborn. You’re not finding a compromise today! To make matters more rigid, the Moon also teams up with Mars, so you’re likely to act out from an emotional perspective. By noon eastern time on Friday, things will smooth out and everyone will be in a jolly, playful mood. Welcome Gemini Moon as it kisses Aries Jupiter on the cheek––and probably encourages us to get into some Friday night mischief.
Be sure to check out the latest episode of the Love & Stardust Podcast debuting on Friday, August 19th, it’s the perfect pregame to your fun night out!
Saturday’s Gemini Moon will have you ready to hit the next social event with no time to breathe in between. Go to a local market and take home a little bit of everything. The is emphasized by Mars’ ingress into Gemini, where it will stay a little too long. Mars will retrograde in Gemini from October to January 2023, but for now, we will soak up the forward-moving effects of Mars in Gemini: fast moves, loud mouths, and too many ideas in too many directions.
It might be a good Saturday night to keep it light on substances because deep REM sleep will do you some good. Mercury opposes Neptune in its once annual transit, helping us unpack anything we have trouble accessing on the earthly plane while in the dreamstate. You might awaken a bit confused Sunday morning, but hopefully you’ve planned your day with a bit of ease so you don’t have to exert too much energy. It’s a good idea to soak in the tub or go for a sunset walk on Sunday evening once the Moon settles in Cancer. If you’re low on energy, wrap up on the couch with your favorite reality show and ice cream. Kiss the Leo Season Sun au revoir.
The Sun enters Virgo on Monday, offering a clean slate. Things are about to get a bit more serious, but it will signal a much-needed reprieve for fixed signs. The mutables are moving into their villain era. You won’t miss even the subtlest of details as precise Virgo Mercury makes a sweet connection with sleuthy Pluto. Don’t even try to lie! If you make a bold ask, you might get what you want. Approach everything with the vibe of a stoic warrior.
Only a few slots left for August!
Why should you book with me?
I have a bachelor’s degree in health. I’ve extensively studied human behavior, psychology, anatomy, and nutrition. I am not a licensed counselor and won’t take on that role for you. However, this experience and knowledge does allow me to effectively hold space for others through inner examination and transitions.
I have written daily horoscopes for over two years, which means I have tracked, analyzed, and distilled the stars into poetry that lands for 1/12 of the population. Yeah, it’s not as easy as it might seem.
I went to a real, brick-and-mortar astrology school and completed a certificate program. This in-person study helped me tap into a layer of astrology you can’t get online–embodiment.
I have worked with Stephanie Shea to continue Jan Spiller’s legacy for nearly three years. What I have learned about astrology and working with clients through this experience is truly invaluable.
I’ve been studying since I was 15, seriously since 20. In fact, I did my senior high school project about astrology. I was in the Bible Belt and it did not go over well, but here we are!!
I’ve had a few extreme dark nights of the soul that led to my own deeper search for spiritual knowledge and a journey to heal the physical body from disease through spiritual, nutritional, and holisitic health methods. I sprinkle this knowledge into the astrological remedies I offer my clients in every session.
We love a healthy skeptic––see what others are saying about their experiences.
