Astrology, Tarot and More

I love that the turn of the Zodiac wheel nudges us to “try on” the energies of each sign. While the Sun is in Taurus, it infuses us with the energy of steady growth and strength, physicality and everything that pleases the senses. It's one of the most powerful manifestation seasons of the year! 

Here are a few suggestions on how to tap into this season's energies...

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!

There is a strong and powerful T-Square (a dynamic and tense energy) in the skies at the time of the eclipse. The ruler of this eclipse - Venus- is well positioned however.  She is a part of a lovely Grand Trine (a beneficial energy flow) that also includes Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto.

This eclipse can bring some unexpected shake ups and developments, and some unexpected reversals - especially in financial matters. They may be for good OR bad. 

As with all eclipses, the energy is unpredictable but also very, very powerful.  

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.

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.
