Astrology, Tarot and More

For the manifestor, this New Moon is THE day of the year to connect with your
superpower (we all have at least one!), to invite more passion into your life, and to ask for transformational change if you feel stuck.  

It's also a great New Moon to ask for increased resolve and determination to accomplish something.

And that “something” can include getting rid of unhelpful habits (good-bye, smoking!), debt, or deep-seated emotions such as guilt, resentment, envy and jealousy. And so it’s a very powerful New Moon, but also very healing.

Astrology keeps us connected with the larger cycles of the Universe. As the Sun travels through the Zodiac, each month we get a chance to “try on” the qualities of that sign. When the Sun is in Scorpio, work on self-limiting beliefs, karmic "knots" (your astrological chart will highlight them), and on embracing your power.

To be honest with you, I get a little apprehensive when Pluto is about to visit my natal chart. 

Yes, I know I will come out stronger than ever after its energy departs. But, I also know that a challenging Pluto transit will bring some major transformation, closing a door so completely that it’s cemented shut. Whatever was behind that door is either gone, or transformed beyond recognition.  It will also connect you with the deepest reserves of your personal power, that you didn't even know you had.

The Lunar Eclipse on Nov. 19 2021 kicked off a new eclipse cycle that will last into 2023.  With eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio, "shake-ups" of the financial sector, Mother Earth, agriculture and resources are all possible. As is deep, regenerative emotional healing.

The first 3 weeks of November have some bumps, but they also bring some very auspicious energies if you need that one final push to work on something. Mars, Mercury and the Sun will all be in Scorpio.  

The eclipse season kicks off with the Lunar Eclipse on Nov. 19 - the first in a series of Taurus-Scorpio eclipses. 

Venus moves into Capricorn, which - together with Mars in Scorpio - is a great energy for career or business. And for finding a long-term romantic partner! 

The New Moon in Scorpio is a big highlight. If you're looking to boost your determination or resilience (physical or mental), to bring more passion into your life, or to work on those deep-seated beliefs that might be blocking you, circle Nov. 4 (Pacific Time) on your calendar! 

Uranus, the planet of freedom, change and the unexpected, turns retrograde on August 19, at 14 degrees Taurus. It goes direct again on Jan. 18 2022, at 10 degrees of Taurus. It`s time to review how you respond to changes in your life, and what personal freedom means to you.

Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, Virgo and Capricorn - there may be changes heading your way.

Jupiter (opportunities, expansion) continues through this year’s retrograde cycle, moving back into Aquarius on July 28. When a planet retrogrades into the sign, it's like it says, "I have some unfinished business!" Jupiter's return to Aquarius will be asking us to revisit technological expansion, and human interconnectedness.

On a personal level, it can be impactful for Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, Gemini and Libra.
