Astrology, Tarot and More

October was a tense and eventful month astrologically. And November? It’s like this month has a split personality! Tense energies continue through the first two weeks.  And then, some very lovely celestial energies start heading our way! 

Scorpio Season is a powerful time to “dig deep” and search for deep truths. Three Whys and a How is a great little technique to get yourself unstuck or to get to your deep values or motivation. I was reminded of that a couple of years ago, by my (then) 3-year-old!

October is a very packed month astrologically. We’re heading into the most challenging part of 2022. If you have something big and important to do, try to fit it in between Oct. 6-19.

Many parts of the world are mourning the passing of Queen Elizabeth this week, after 7 decades of reign. We certainly are here in Canada!

The astrology of Queen Elizabeth’s chart leading to the announcement of her passing is both significant and poignant.

The biggest astro-event of September is Mercury Retrograde - which has some surprising upsides, because of the planetary alignments Mercury makes! And, don't miss the New Moon in Libra, on Sept. 25. It packs some amazing energies for love and romance.

Mercury Retrograde can bring annoying technology glitches, delayed or cancelled travel plans and appointments, and frustrating miscommunication.  And….it also has a huge silver lining. It’s the best time of the year for all things “re”: re-do, re-plan, re-write (or edit), re-connect, repair, reflect.  

This retrograde will straddle Libra and Virgo, so we can expect relationships to come into sharper focus. 

But you know what, this Mercury Retrograde brings a number of surprising upsides! Practical resolutions to old relationship issues are possible when the retrograde is over.  And, Mercury makes a couple of unusually long planetary connections that can help in negotiations, research, and working on your self-limiting beliefs.

URANUS TURNS RETROGRADE: August 24 2022 Uranus, the planet of freedom, change and the unexpected, turns retrograde on August 24, at 18° Taurus. I...

August comes in with a bang! The much talked about Uranus-North Node-Mars conjunction happens on Aug. 1.Uranus energy is strong throughout the month, as it's getting ready to turn retrograde.  Leo energies are strong too!  Venus is well positioned until Aug. 20, and that's good news for love and finances, among other things.

It's amazing how often some of the same astrological energies repeat through family generations, recreating similar experiences in the lives of family members. Call them generational legacies or generational curses when you're feeling dramatic...your natal chart also holds clues on how to break them - or how to embrace them as gifts!

July starts and ends with tense energies.  But, it also offers many great dates for Mercury-related pursuits (communication, presentations, contracts and such).  With Jupiter highlighted around the time of the New Moon in Leo, there are some good, lucky days to be had.

If you're caught in the current stock market tumble, this post highlights upcoming astrological alignments, and their potential impact. 

After the dramatic energies of May, we’re heading into a calmer month. Well, until the last few days of June, anyway. Mars and Jupiter are both in Aries, boosting the enterprising spirit and the energy of new beginnings. Three planets change direction this month: Mercury turns direct, and Saturn and Neptune both start on their annual retrograde. And, the New Moon in Cancer just might be the day of the year to set your intentions for a successful home purchase!
