Astrology, Tarot and More

Through my readings and workshops, I've been blessed with meeting many beautiful souls. Learning about their life journeys is an honour that often puts me in awe of the resilience of the human spirit. The awe of our ability to rise from the darkest times and travel toward the light. 

This post is by a courageous and compassionate survivor, Laurie Benoit.  Laurie is someone who's endured many years of abuse and embarked on a healing journey that ultimately became the journey to help others.  

My job as an astrologer is to let you know what the future has in store, but also to help you navigate the energies coming into your life.

Uranus is all about change, freedom, and the unexpected. The energy it brings can be invigorating and magnetic, but it can also be unstable and chaotic.

When transiting Uranus makes a big connection with your natal chart, you can expect an eventful year!  And even when it doesn't make any aspects to your natal planets, the House (area of life) it goes through can undergo impactful changes.

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!

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 is in Virgo, which is actually quite helpful for re-planning, re-writing, or cleaning out what no longer serves you - and this can be physical OR emotional clutter! 

We're heading deep into the retrograde season this month.  Venus spends the entire month retrograde in Leo. Mercury and Uranus turn retrograde, too.  So, what to do when there is so much retrograde energy in the skies? As always, there is a silver lining! Read this post for the power dates in August + so much more!

Venus rules relationships, money, and all things beauty.  When she is retrograde in the skies, there are some things to avoid - and some things to capitalize on!  Read my lowdown about the upcoming Venus Retrograde in proud Leo, including the dates to pay particular attention to.

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.

This post is written by a brilliant client of mine, Lisa.  What happens when you have a fiery Ascendant in Aries, lots of Fire, and Mars powerfully positioned at a critical degree?

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.

Jupiter, the planet of expansion and opportunities, moves into peace-loving Taurus on May 16 2023.  Jupiter (expansion) and Taurus (money, resources, abundance, mother nature) make a great combo! Read all about it in this post. 

What happens when a single mom and a courageous entrepreneur decides to take a cosmic shortcut and hack the Moon? 

If you like my New and Full Moon posts, you will love this blog post written by Landa Ruweha, a long-term client of mine who is as passionate about astrology and tarot as she is about writing and cooking.

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!
