April brings a juxtaposition of planetary energies. We have the drag of Mercury Retrograde, the destabilizing Solar eclipse in Aries - that can also bring immense personal healing - and one of the most anticipated celestial events of 2024, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction!

March features an unusually high number of long Opportunity Periods, several great dates for love and romance, and a magical New Moon in Pisces. 

But, as the month progresses, eclipse energies will start kicking in.  The eclipse season starts with the Lunar Eclipse in Libra on March 25, but we'll feel the energies building for a week prior.  Finally, as the month draws to a close, Mercury slows down in the skies, getting ready to turn retrograde on April 1.

Start the month with clearing out what is no longer working for you. Then set your intentions for positive change on the New Moon in Aquarius. If you need to get unstuck, this Aquarius Season has just the right energies!

Sit out the days around the Mars-Pluto conjunction.  Then take advantage of some great energies for love and romance.  And if you need to sign or negotiate a contract, pitch an important presentation at work, or cinch a commitment, try to schedule them at the end of February!  

Happy New Year!  January is a stellar month.  It brings some very auspicious energies for work, career, business and other practical matters. Don't miss the great energies closing out the month!

Three planets change direction this month: Mercury turns retrograde, and Neptune and Jupiter turn direct. 

Despite Mercury Rx, December astro-weather has a lot to offer!  Loving the energies the last week of December.  

And, are you the lucky soul touched by Jupiter's station in December-January? Read the post to find out! 

November starts with strong Scorpio energies, great for business and career pursuits - but also for shadow work, counselling and research. But, watch out for a judgmental Sun-Saturn square on Thanksgiving!  The best energies of the month arrive between November 14 and 22. But, if it's your love life you're after, read my forecast for the first week of November!

October is tense and powerful.  We head into the eclipse season.  Pluto is stationed in the skies, and the Sun, Mercury and Mars take turns poking Pluto's powerful energy. But, October is also a great month to reconnect with your personal power.  You can get a lot accomplished if you stay focused.  And, if you feel like your love life is non-existent no matter what you try, don't miss the Solar Eclipse/New Moon on October 14! 

The month starts with 6 planets all in retrograde, and that's a lot of retrograde energy.  But, things start to pick up before too long. Venus turns direct on Sept. 3, and it's green light again for engagements, weddings, cosmetic surgeries, major purchases and financial investments.

Mercury turns direct on Sept. 15. But, even with Mercury in retrograde for the first 2 weeks of the month, September offers some fantastic energies for career, communication, and health-related matters!

July starts with strong Cancer energies. The first week of the month brings some excellent dates for many pursuits. Then, Mercury and the Sun move into proud Leo - and that's where Venus is, getting ready to go retrograde... if there are any tensions in your relationships, take some time to work on them early in the month! And, it's official - the Lunar Nodes move into Aries/Libra.

The last couple of months had a lot of celestial tension.  So it's nice to see that June is a quieter and more pleasant month.  There are many good days for communication and business pursuits this month.  And, two more planets turn retrograde. Will that impact you personally? Find out in this post.

The first 3 weeks of May take us through one tense astrological event after another.  But, the month ends up on a high note, with two extended Opportunity Periods, which is rare!

And, Jupiter moves into peace-loving Taurus this month. Halleluiah! 

March was a big month astrologically:  Saturn and Pluto both changed signs, starting big energy shifts that, in Pluto's case, we'll feel for over 2 decades! 

April is another eventful month: it brings the eclipse season, and the first retrograde of 2023. Yes, Mercury will turn retrograde on April 21...

The first two weeks of April have some excellent energies though, including a once-a-year Sun-Jupiter conjunction, one of the happiest, most expansive celestial influences of the year!
