August-2018-Horoscopes.jpg
If things have felt "stop and go" thanks to last month’s eclipses and all the retrograde planetary action we’ve been getting; this month brings us some much-needed momentum. Not only is Mercury moving forward again, but aggressive Mars also turns direct; which should help us with getting plans, projects, and initiatives off the ground. Meanwhile, we’re still in eclipse season with one more eclipse to go; the Solar Eclipse in Leo on August 11, 2018. Under this eclipse, we should expect dramatic new beginnings, fresh starts, and life-changing opportunities that span themes that cover confidence, creativity, romance, and authenticity. With the shifts and changes that are still afoot, it’s a good thing that Mars will be moving back into grounded and responsible Capricorn by mid-month. With Mars in one of their favorite places to be, the energy in the air shouldn’t feel as jarring as it has been over the past few weeks, especially with Mars turning direct by August 27. Couple Mars grounding vibes with the earthy energy of Virgo season (August 23) and we should be able to find the motivation, energy, and the clarity to move into the next phase of our lives. Meanwhile, the Full Moon in Pisces on August 26 will stop by to help us with turning a dream into something real.

Although Gemini season is in full swing, the pace this month slows down significantly once the planets begin shifting into cautious Cancer, pushing us to lean on our intuition rather than making snap judgments. At the same time, active Mars will also begin its two-month retrograde; backtracking through the signs of Aquarius and Capricorn and helping us to make sure we’re not blindly following the rules in place or investing our energy into futile endeavors. Planet Neptune (dreams, illusions, compassion) also goes retrograde this month in Pisces, pushing us to see through illusions and to see things as they are. In fact, with a Full Moon in no-nonsense Capricorn happening this month as well, many of us are due for a reality check.

Aries: The first half of this month is all about broadening your mind, questioning what you know, then questioning what you know again. That’s because Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, will enter Sagittarius; your zone of travel, education, and opportunity on December 1st – sparking your thirst for truth, knowledge, and adventure. A few days later, (December 3rd) Mercury goes retrograde in Sagittarius, which asks you to retrace your steps, picking up any clues or information you may have missed to assist you on your journey. Meanwhile, the Full Moon in Gemini that landed in your zone of ideas and communication may have shown you what kind of self-limiting thinking and perceptions you need to leave behind. Overall, what is your truth, Aries? The stars this month will be helping you to find it. By the 9th, Mars – your ruling planet – moves into the deep waters of Scorpio; your zone of intimacy, finances, and rebirth. With Mars at home in this zone, motivating you to face your fears and go after your deepest desires, expect to be driven by your passion and gut instincts. In other words, if you don’t feel it 100% - don’t even bother.

On the 18th, the New Moon in Sagittarius gives you the fire in your belly to pursue some of your biggest dreams. However, with this moon coming in close to Saturn in Sagittarius, you’re going to have to put in the dedication and commitment to see those dreams through. No leaving what you start unfinished. Speaking of Saturn, the planet of responsibility and hard work finally leaves Sagittarius on December 19th and moves home to Capricorn for a two-and-a-half-year stay in your zone of career and achievement. It’s time to boss up, Aries, and Saturn in Capricorn will be bringing you lessons in determination, pragmatism, and leadership; all the while helping you to rise up through the ranks and achieve your own version of world domination. A few days later (December 21st) the Sun moves into Capricorn, bringing the spotlight to your long-term goals and ambitions. Get ready to put in the work. On the 22nd, Mercury ends its retrograde in Sagittarius, which should give you clarity in terms of the direction you’re headed in. When Venus enters Capricorn on December 25th, you could be in line for a promotion, bonus, or widespread recognition for your work.

Taurus: As you gear up for the new year, much of December will be about doing a deep clean of sorts.

With Mercury spinning backwards in this zone, you’ll be asked to go back and look at the relationships in your life where you’ve given too much of your power away, so you can reclaim it.

With Venus (beauty, pleasure, appreciation) in Sagittarius since December 1st, ramping up your cravings for the things that resonate with you most, this is not the month to allow yourself to continue settling for any old thing that’s thrown your way.

On the 9th, motivating Mars moves home to Scorpio and into your zone of partnerships. Between Mercury retrograde and Mars in Scorpio, you might find your patience thinning when it comes to dealing with the same old issues in your relationships. Keep this in mind as you go, Taurus.

You could improve your sense of stability, deepen the bond you have with a lover, or attract a soulful and supportive relationship. However, Saturn will ask that you cut the bullshit when it comes to your heart.

An old issue could come up for discussion between you and your partner or an ex-lover could pop back into the picture. Either way, it’s important that you pay attention to the facts first, and to try not to let the demands or expectations of others cloud your judgement. This also goes for agreements and contracts.

On the 22nd the Sun enters Capricorn, shining a light on the things (and people) you need to purge from your life. Prepare to dig in and get to work. When Mercury begins moving forward again on the 22nd, you should have some clarity on how to better communicate in your relationships for mutual understanding and whether you still have room for a certain someone in your life.

As a result, Venus will have you hungry for all things fun, fast, and free – things that may have seemed elusive to you up until now thanks to responsible Saturn being in this zone for the last two and a half years. Another reason is Mercury’s retrograde in Sagittarius (December 3rd), which will ask that you go back and revisit creative projects or endeavors that you may have let fall by the wayside. At the same time, with Saturn in the mix, Venus and Mercury retro will be asking you to drop anything that you’re not 100% passionate about as you can’t afford to put your energy into anything half-heartedly, that goes for love affairs too. With the Full Moon in Gemini that landed in your zone of friendship and future plans on December 3rd, you may have learned a lesson as to what happens when you spread yourself too thin.

On December 18th, the New Moon in Sagittarius helps you to make a renewed commitment to yourself when it comes to pushing out a creative work,  taking your creative work seriously, or finding the healthy kind of love that you desire. This moon can help you to manifest a worthwhile kind of love that could have long term potential while those of you already seeing someone could find yourselves ready to move on to the next step with your lover. Going back to the subject of Saturn for a sec – the planet of pragmatism and hard work moves home to Capricorn; your zone of health, work, and routine, where it will stay for the next two and a half years. With the cosmic taskmaster here, your goals will revolve around protecting your health, improving your time management skills, and putting an end to working in toxic environments. On the 21st, when the Sun enters Capricorn, expect to channel your energy in getting your shit together.

With Mercury (your patron saint) going retrograde in Sagittarius on December 3rd, catching up with people you haven’t seen in a while will do your spirit good. Still, with Mercury spinning backwards in this zone, you may want to watch out for disagreements with family or someone you live with.

On the 19th, a big shift takes place when Saturn the planet of hard work and responsibility, moves into Capricorn – your zone of fun, creativity, and romance. Over the next two and a half years Saturn will be teaching you important lessons around valuing your craft and creativity, being your authentic self, and how not to settle in love. When the Sun enters Capricorn on December 21st, the focus turns to making your enjoyment a priority – especially when Venus joins the Cap party on December 25th. Before Venus makes her move though, Mercury going direct on the 22nd will help you to better see what means the most to you.

Libra: The big focus for you this month is on what you say, how you say it, and what’s going on in that mind of yours. That’s because Mercury goes retrograde in Sagittarius, your communication zone, on December 3rd. As such, be wary of misunderstandings and miscommunication, especially when it comes to your virtual world. Try not to be so quick to agreeing to things, like plans or projects with others, especially if you’re not 100% interested or have the availability needed to see things through. With responsible Saturn spending time with Mercury, it’s time to take a clear, no-nonsense approach when it comes to how you communicate with others.

On the 9th, aggressive Mars moves into Scorpio and into your zone of income and self-worth. With Mars turning up the steam here, your mission is to be more demanding about your money. This is especially the case when it comes to the money you earn. It’s time to stop underselling yourself and be unapologetic about what you’re worth. One thing to note though: be mindful of sudden or unnecessary expenses while Mars is here. On the 18th, the New Moon in Sagittarius stops by to help you with getting an article, podcast, website, etc. off the ground. At the same time, this moon asks that you approach the world around with new eyes and stop allowing negative or limiting thinking get in your way. On the 19th, Saturn – the planet of duty and determination – moves into Capricorn, your zone of home and family. Over the next two and a half years, Saturn will be testing your mettle when it comes to breaking free of old family dynamics, achieving stability, and the possibility of settling down and making a home with someone you love. When the Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st, your attention turns inward as you’re called to get grounded and find the emotional nourishment you need. On the 25th, Venus moves into Capricorn, helping you to make your home happy. Redecorating could do wonders to help keep yourself in good spirits.

Scorpio: The focus is on your money and values for a good chunk of this month, thanks to Venus moving into Sagittarius on December 1st (your zone of income and self-worth) and Mercury going retrograde in this zone too on December 3rd. As a result, you’ll be asked to revise or redraft your budget and to track down any money owed to you. This is also a good time to go over bank and credit card statements to make sure debits and credits are legit, as well as reaching out to old clients to draw in some cash for your end of the year goals. Overall, the main theme will focus on you getting your worth, especially with Saturn in Sagittarius pushing you to be accountable to yourself and your bottom line. You may have already experienced this around the Full Moon in Gemini that landed in your zone of intimacy and finances on December 3rd, which highlighted the need for you to break free of draining and imbalanced relationships. On the 9th, the energy of the month shifts as Mars moves home to Scorpio, your zone of self-image and confidence. With Mars turning your energy and your swagger up, there will be very little that gets in your way. Use this energy to overcome roadblocks and to set some healthy boundaries with others.

On the 18th, the New Moon in Sagittarius teams up with Saturn to help you with manifesting a new job or financial opportunity that can lead to long term security or improve the sense of security you already have. If you have plans to stay put where you are, this new moon could also motivate you to negotiate a raise or increases your fees. With Saturn moving out of your money zone (finally!) on December 19th and moving into Capricorn for a two-and-a-half-year stay in your zone of communication, people are going to want to pay you and pay you well for your expertise. Whatever skills you lack or want to improve, Saturn will push you to make yourself more marketable through study or training. When the Sun enters Capricorn on the 21st, the spotlight shines on your connections to others. How can you maximize your connections on and offline in way that can help you to get your story, message, or ideas across to a wider audience? Hint: it’s time to get out and socialize. This should be easier to do once Venus, the social butterfly of the zodiac, moves into Capricorn on December 25th; helping you to easily influence people and win them over.

Sagittarius: Your birthday season is well under way, though before you embark on this new chapter in your life, there’s some unfinished business that you need to take care of before you move full steam ahead, especially as the calendar new year approaches. That’s because Mercury, the planet of communication, goes retrograde on December 3rd in your zone of self-image and confidence. As such, your job will be to reflect on where you’ve been thus far and where you see yourself heading. With Mercury traveling so close to clearheaded Saturn, part of this review process may involve harnessing the ability to see yourself through a new pair of eyes (your eyes), free of the expectations, demands, or other kinds of stuff that people project on to you. With Venus in Sagittarius since December 1st, consider December the chance to write a love letter to yourself. Do you see the beauty in your own eyes, Sagittarius? Do you make your own heart flutter?

Venus in Sagittarius will be helping to light the way.

On the 9th, Mars moves into Scorpio and into your zone of rest, healing, and retreat. With angry Mars in one of the most sensitive places in your chart, you may find yourself looking at how you deal with your own anger. Hint: don’t let resentment build up. You don’t always have to be the nice guy, Sag. What you need to be is authentic – to yourself and others. On the 18th, the New Moon in Sagittarius sweeps through to help you start fresh when it comes to your wardrobe or image. If your look could use an update,  or you find yourself ready to drop a few pounds or improve how you feel in your body; the new moon can help. With serious Saturn finally leaving Sagittarius on December 19th, you might find yourself feeling like Stella when she got her groove back. In other words, you’ve dug in, got serious, and did the work, Sagittarius; now it’s time to reap the rewards. Saturn will be moving into Capricorn, your money zone, bringing major lessons over the next two and a half years on money management, knowing your worth, and evaluating the things that truly matter to you. On the 21st, when the Sun moves into Capricorn, followed by Venus on the 25th, your attention turns to how you earn your cash. Don’t settle. You won’t have to anyway.

Capricorn: With nearly half the cosmos traveling through Capricorn by the month’s end; there’s a lot of ground for you to cover in December, even if we are starting the month out with a Mercury retrograde. As a matter of fact, with the ton of planets still camped out in Sagittarius – your zone of rest, healing and retreat; your job for the first few weeks will be working on releasing the emotional junk you’ve accumulated over the last year (and perhaps a bit longer than that, since heavy Saturn has been in this zone for the last two and a half years). Consider December your time for replenishing your spirit, cleansing the toxic energy in your life, and releasing your attachment to the past. With pleasure loving Venus in Sagittarius and in this zone since December 1st, know that this work doesn’t necessarily have to be tough. Venus will be nudging you to find the pleasure and beauty in self-care. Maybe this might mean going on a retreat, immersing yourself in art or music, or getting tons and tons of restful sleep.

You’ll feel the most energized being out and about socializing and networking with others that share your vision. On the 18th, the New Moon in Sagittarius shows you where you your heart could use some healing. Some Caps may enlist the help of a therapist of healer to help with challenges around letting go or having faith in something bigger. By the 19th, a huge shift takes place as Saturn finally leaves Sagittarius and comes home to Capricorn, your zone of self-identity. Under Saturn’s keep over the next two and a half years, you could become a true force to be reckoned with as the planet of hard work and responsibility pushes you to come into your own, helping you to build your confidence, a better body, and a healthier self-image.  On the 21st, the Sun moves into your sign which should feel like a rebirth, pushing you to greet the new year with excitement and a fresh approach. When Venus joins your birthday party on the 25th, you’ll be hard to resist, so don’t deprive yourself of the attention, or the craving to revamp or update your look. It’s time to level up. Let’s go!

Aquarius: This month is all about maximizing the connections that you have both on and offline. One reason for this is because Venus, the planet of relationships, moved into Sagittarius; your zone of friendship and future plans on December 1st, followed by Mercury going retrograde in Sagittarius on December 3rd. With Venus’ help, your goal is to socialize and connect with people that not only share your interests and your vision but may also have the influence or clout to open doors for you and connect you with new opportunities. Now that Mercury is spinning backwards here, this may mean reconnecting with people from your past or rethinking some of your friendships, especially if they haven’t really led to positive growth in your life. This may have been a bit of a theme for you around the December 3rd Full Moon in Gemini, which landed in your zone of self-expression. Under this moon you may have had a thudding realization around the importance of being in the company of those where you don’t have to try too hard to win acceptance or be something you’re not. Between Venus in Sagittarius and Mercury retrograde, this theme continues.

On the 9th, go-getter Mars moves into Scorpio, your zone of career and achievement; putting you in the driver’s seat when it comes to your professional goals and ambitions.

It’s not enough to want something Aquarius, you have to be willing to put in the work to get it. Speaking of putting in the work, Saturn moves home to Capricorn, your zone of rest, retreat, and healing on December 19th. Over the next two and a half years, Saturn will be teaching you some important spiritual lessons. Some of those lessons may include the importance of keeping the faith, having a regular spiritual practice, and facing your fears head on. When the Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st, get ready to have a light shone on those more tender pieces of your that need attention and maintenance. Consider this your time to heal and regroup. On the 25th, Venus moves into Capricorn, inviting you to ramp up your self-care and pleasure. Beauty heals.

Pisces: Your goals and career continue to be a focus for you as this month opens, thanks to Venus moving into Sagittarius, your zone of fame and achievement on December 1st, followed by Mercury going retrograde in Sagittarius on December 3rd. Under this cosmic combination, your job will be to make sure you feel a sense of fulfillment with what you do. At the same time, Mercury will have you working to make sure that how you see yourself and how you want others to see you are one in the same. This may mean being more authentic with how you present yourself to world around you. With Venus in the mix, people will find it hard not to love you, so it only makes sense to give them the best version of you (not the perfect version). When the Full Moon in Gemini landed in your zone of home and family on December 3rd, you may have received a reminder on the importance of being true to yourself over going above and beyond to make others happy. On the 9th, passionate Mars moves home to Scorpio; your zone of travel, education, and opportunity. As a result, you should find yourself craving new experiences that broaden and stimulate your mind and fill up your soul. Taking a trip or a class over the next few weeks could be inspiring.

On the 18th, the New Moon in Sagittarius teams up with hard working Saturn to help you with manifesting a promising job offer, promotion, or project that thrusts you into the spotlight. This moon is an auspicious one too as Saturn won’t be back in this zone of your chart for another 30 years. Consider this moon to be a reward of sorts for all the hard work you’ve been putting in for the last two and a half years. Meanwhile, on the 19th, Saturn moves into Capricorn – your zone of friendship and future plans; focusing your energy on setting healthier boundaries, maximizing your friendships, fulfilling your hopes and wishes, and capitalizing on the professional reputation you’ve built. When the Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st, followed by Venus on the 25th, it’s time to bring out the social butterfly in you. Networking and connecting with others could be a source of fun and opportunity. Since this zone of your chart is also connected to philanthropy and giving back, getting involved with a worthwhile cause or event could be rewarding.

 

 

 

 

Monthly Horoscopes for November 2017

november.jpg

Aries: Your finances continue to be a focus as November opens with a Full Moon in Taurus landing in your zone of income, self-worth, and possessions on November 4th. Under the influence of this moon, an income stream could come to an end or you could be pushed to change your financial habits. One message that this Moon is bringing for you for though, is the need for you to better honor your worth. That means if you've been underselling your skills or putting up with a job that undervalues you, this full moon will remind you that you can't survive this way. As a matter of fact, your focus should be on thriving, instead of just scraping by. As such, you may want to kick your job search into high gear, with an emphasis on finding something worth your while as opposed to a quick-fix kind of job. Yes, bills need to be paid, but if you keep wasting your time on menial, dead-end jobs it won't get you any closer to where you want to be. Trust that if you're putting in the work and you've taken a shot at getting something you want, the universe will respond in kind. That's why on November 5th, communication planet Mercury will be moving into Sagittarius (your zone of travel, opportunity, and education) to help you build up your faith, so you can see what's really possible. Mercury will be motivating you to open your mind and shift your perspective. Your options will no longer seem as bleak as they may seem right now. You’ve got to be open to something new though.

By November 7th, Venus – the planet of love and money – moves into Scorpio; your zone of intimacy, finances, and rebirth. In matters of the heart, Venus could help you with attracting a deeper, soulful kind of love as the casual flings won’t cut it. Though if you’ve been down on love, hosting Venus in this area of your chart could also help you with healing heartbreak and moving on. Sometimes it takes a bit of bottoming out to get to a place where you can start fresh. Look to the New Moon in Scorpio on November 18th, to help you kick start your emotional healing. Hint: part of this work may mean that you’ll have to come to terms with your dark side, as well as beginning the process of owning those pieces of you that you’ve been taught were bad, ugly, or undeserving. Since this zone is also connected to money, this new moon could also help you with achieving financial freedom. Strategize ways that you (and your partner, if applicable) can pay off debt and get your books in order. If you do have a partner, the two of you may decide to pool your resources together at this time for a joint investment, like buying a house or condo. If you need a loan, this moon can help. On the 21st, the Sun moves into Sagittarius, putting the spotlight back on your sense of adventure. Spending time in a different country or city, taking classes, and pursuing new experiences will rejuvenate you. Meanwhile, Neptune going forward in Pisces (your zone of retreat and healing) on November 22nd, helps to restore your faith in something bigger.

Taurus: Like Michael Jackson once said, “you are not alone”. There are people in your corner that are ready to love and support you and this month, your job is to connect with them. Though in order to do so, you may have to be willing to let go of the notion that it’s just you against the world. That’s why the Full Moon in Taurus, landing in your zone of confidence and self-image on November 4th, will be motivating you to heal and release your old wounds. At the same time, some of your relationships may experience a shakeup as you’re also called to let go of stagnant and self-limiting connections. When communicative Mercury moves into Sagittarius on November 5th and into your zone of intimacy, finances, and rebirth; you’re asked to dive deep into the spaces of your heart and soul to see the ways that you may have been giving your power and attention away to the unworthy. Mercury will be asking that you get more comfortable with your intuition, as ignoring it will only lead to you feeling more mistrustful of yourself and others. The key here is using your intuitive power to suss out the people that are truly genuine while keeping the fugazi ones at arms length. Writing down your feelings in a journal or discussing them with a therapist could be cathartic for you. If you’re a creative type, you might also opt to work out these thoughts and feelings in a creative piece. In terms of finances, Mercury will also help you to work out a budget to improve your savings or reduce your debts.

By the 7th, Venus (your patron saint) moves into the deep waters of Scorpio and into your zone of partnerships. With Venus’ help, you could meet someone with commitment potential, if single and looking, while those of you already in relationships could re-devote yourselves to the love you have. Since this zone also covers business partnerships, you should also look towards joining forces with others that can help you to make more money. That’s why the New Moon in Scorpio on November 18th will be helping you to establish the right connections, in your professional life as well as your romantic life. However, if relationships have been a sore spot for you, look to this moon to help you with clearing space for the kinds of people that you want and deserve to have in your life. Know that you don’t have to settle or cling to “almost, not quite right” relationships out of fear of being alone. With Scorpio it’s either all or nothing, no halfway. This theme of all or nothing will be especially strong come November 21st, when the Sun moves into Sagittarius, continuing the work that Mercury in Sagittarius started. Over the next few weeks, while the Sun travels here, you should expect to do a soul recon mission of sorts, as the cosmos asks you to get in deeper touch with your truest desires. Why do think that you shouldn’t have what you want? Is it because you’ve been taught to accept a life full of hardship? Allow Sagittarius season to help you to reconnect to abundance, true love, and pleasure.

Gemini: This month you may find out that it’s all about learning how to balance your needs with the needs of others without losing yourself or making yourself crazy in the process. Thanks to the Full Moon in Taurus (November 4th) that lands in your zone of rest, endings and healing; part of this work will require that you address your needs at the outset. As an intellectual Air sign, you often live in your head and get uncomfortable when it comes to feeling your feelings, but this full moon will push you to pay attention to them. As you pave the way for new things and experiences to enter your life, know that you have to be willing to let go of anything that isn’t working for you. Under this moon, this could mean an attachment to the past, an old emotional wound, or a build-up of resentments. If you find yourself feeling particularly unable to let go or move on, this moon could also inspire you to seek the help of a therapist or spiritual guide, especially as Mercury (your patron saint) moves into Sagittarius on November 5th and into your zone of partnership; encouraging you to build a winning team. On the 7th, pleasure loving Venus moves into Scorpio, your zone of health, work, and routine. With Venus here, this could be a good time to ramp up your self-care regimen by making sure to get good foods to eat (treats included) and enough beauty rest. When it comes to your professional life, Venus could also help you to find a new job or your workday to go much smoother.

On the 18th, the New Moon in Scorpio steps in to help you with getting your sh*t together. Consider this moon a gift from the universe as you’ll find that getting back on track when it comes to a fitness program or a daily schedule will be much easier to do. At the same time, since Scorpio is a sign that loves to purge anything that’s considered dead weight, you could also use this moon to help you initiate a mind and body detox. This could include cutting back on alcohol or quitting smoking, as well as clearing out any clutter that you may have in your office or living space. Either way, the goal is to practice taking care of your needs first, so you can operate from a full place instead of a depleted one. On the 21st, the Sun moves into Sagittarius, bringing the attention back to partnerships. In terms of love, some Gemini could meet someone new while those of you that are already attached, may find yourselves focused on your shared goals or interests. With Mercury also in Sagittarius, look to establishing relationships that offer something new for you to learn or experience. Though that doesn’t mean that everyone is invited to the party though. Connecting with people one-on-one will make for genuine, longer lasting relationships. On the 22nd, when Neptune moves forward again in Pisces, your zone of career and achievement, things won’t seem so foggy or uncertain like before.

Cancer: You’ve got big plans, but how willing are you to do what it takes to follow through on them? This might be the question that needs an answer this month as the planets bring attention to your long range plans and the things you’re truly passionate about. Your journey begins on November 4th, with the Full Moon in Taurus landing in your zone of friendship, hopes, and wishes. With the help of this full moon, you’re pushed to release any doubts or fears that you have around moving forward and pursuing what you really want. If you haven’t figured out by now, the universe is ready for you to stop playing yourself small. That means it’s time to grab the bull by its horns (thank you, Taurus) and don’t let go. This may even mean breaking away from your tried and true methods in favor for a fresh approach. On November 5th, Mercury, the planet of details and communication, moves into Sagittarius; your zone of work, health, and routines. With Mercury at home in this zone of your chart, its job will be to help you work out the fine details in your planning and strategy. This may include looking at ways to develop and hone your marketable skills, as well as devising ways to simplify your life. Hint: it’s time to cut back on the distractions. Though don’t think it’ll be all work and no play this month, as sweet and charming Venus finally leaves your home zone on November 7th and moves into Scorpio – your zone of love, creativity, and fun.

Venus will be on hand to remind you how irresistible you are, which means that you could start a promising romance over the weeks that follow, while those of you already in relationships could find yourselves being healed through the power of love. Since Venus is also connected to creative endeavors and money, you may be able to draw in some extra cash by putting yourself and your talents out there in a big way. Again, the theme for this month is to show up and show out! By the 18th, the New Moon in Scorpio swings through, pushing you to deep dive into your passions. When it comes to the progress you make this month, it’s all about focusing on the things that touch your heart. Keep this in mind – if you’re heart isn’t 100% into something; whether it be an offer, a project, or a person – leave it alone. On the 21st, the focus shifts back to your health and routines when the Sun moves into Sagittarius. Over the next few weeks, expect to work on improving your health, balancing your work-life schedule, and breaking unhealthy habits. For some of you, this might be a good time to clean out those closets and donate what you’re no longer using to charity. On the 22nd, Neptune begins moving forward again in Pisces; your zone of travel, education, and opportunity which may be helpful for restoring your faith in what’s possible. Believe in you.

Leo: Fulfillment is the theme for you this month, as the stars align to help you make sure you’re getting the most bang for your proverbial buck. It all begins with the Full Moon in Taurus on November 4th, which lands in your zone of career and achievement. Under this moon, you could decide to make a swift exit from your current job, especially if you haven’t been feeling happy at what you do. While a title and status looks good to others and on a resume, it doesn’t mean much if you don’t enjoy what you do or the position you’re in. Your career should be challenging yes, but not at the expense of your well-being, remember that. Should you find yourself looking for a new job, this moon can help you to use the reputation you’ve built to leverage a better opportunity. And if you’re happy where you are professionally, this full moon could also help you to garner attention and accolades from some very influential people. Don’t be surprised if suddenly everyone wants to work with you or know more about what you do. Overall, when it comes to your career, it’s time to stop dialing it in. Think about things that make you want to get out of bed in the morning and strategize ways you can capitalize on them. Thankfully, Mercury enters Sagittarius (your zone of creativity and passion) on November 5th which will help you to get your juices flowing again. With the planet of thought and communication in this zone, your brain should be moving a mile a minute with inspiration and ideas.

Though this month won’t solely be about your professional life. Your home and family life will also call for your attention, but in a good way. That’s because pleasure-loving Venus will be moving into Scorpio, your zone of home and family, on November 7th.  As such, you may decide to redecorate or rearrange your living space, which could do wonders in improving the energy in your home as well as your mood.

On the 21st, the Sun enters Sagittarius. With the Sun shining it’s light here, your own radiance will be hard to ignore.

Think of this as your chance to bring your voice to a larger audience, allowing you to positively impact the world with what you have to say. You just have to be willing to speak up and be heard. Meanwhile, this moon is calling you to break free of self-defeating attitudes and thinking, all the while pushing you to reach for some of your biggest dreams. On the 5th, Mercury (your patron saint) leaves your zone of communication and steps into Sagittarius, your zone of home and family. This means that over the next few weeks, you may find that much of your attention is focused on something related to your home life or past. This could involve buying or selling a home, moving or relocating, or taking a trip down memory lane with family. If you need to open up to someone at this time about something you’ve been feeling or that’s been weighing on you, Mercury could also help you to get the closure or resolution that you need.      

When charming Venus moves into Scorpio on November 7th and into your zone of communication, expect your powers of charm and flirtation to go up several notches. Put this power to good use by striking up conversations and setting up meetings with people you want to get close to, as these will be the folks that will help you spread the word when it comes to something you may want to market or release to the public. At the same time, the creative inspiration you receive now will be hard to ignore, which means the ideas you generate could help you to bring in some extra money.

With Taurus being a sign that’s associated with self-worth, the full moon can help you to see where you may need to take back your power and let go of those that don’t honor or respect you. You deserve the world, Libra. Don’t allow anyone to make you feel any different. By the 5th, communicative Mercury moves into Sagittarius, your zone of communication.

Sagittarius: Happy Birthday, Sagittarius! Your personal new year is here.

Thanks to a Full Moon in Taurus lighting up your zone of work, health, and routine on November 4th, it’s time to put an end to any unhealthy habits that may be getting in the way of you feeling your best.

Don’t be surprised if you find yourself wanting to spend more time alone. You need the time away to rest and replenish your well. A note: since hosting Venus in this zone also means the chance of developing a behind the scenes love affair, just make sure that the person you set your sights on is really who they say they are, as it might not be so apparent at the start. If they seem too good to be true, they probably are. On the 18th, the New Moon in Scorpio helps you to turn over a new leaf when it comes to a spiritual practice or establishing a healthier work-life balance.

Journal writing, dream interpretation, and therapy could be beneficial too.

On November 7th, charming Venus leaves your career zone and moves into Scorpio; your zone of friendship and future plans. With Venus bringing the social butterfly out of you and putting you in everyone’s good graces, you should be able to network your way into an impressive opportunity in no time.

Don’t get stuck in tunnel vision. On the 22nd, when Neptune begins moving direct again in Pisces; your zone of income and finances, it’s time to stop measuring yourself by what you have or don’t have.

Since this zone also handles media and publishing, you may want to consider pitching article ideas to editors or beginning the proposal for the book you’ve always wanted to write.

Monthly Horoscopes For September 2017

September.jpg
 

Aries: The planets never stop and nor do you, but this month the major focus will be on how you move and who you’re making moves with. Even though we’re entering the month with Mercury retrograde don’t expect September to start off slow, especially as a bevy of planets begin entering Virgo; your zone of health, work, and routine. With the Sun already in this zone, pulling your focus towards getting your sh*t together, Mars is follows along; moving into Virgo on September 5th. With your patron saint in the sign associated with details and dedication, you get the most accomplished this month by paying closer attention to the small day to day things in your life that you may normally want to avoid, like sticking to a schedule. In terms of health, Mars will be motivating you to take better care of yours. You may decide to start a new fitness program or a food detox plan. A note: between Mars entering Virgo and Mercury moving forward again in Leo (your zone of fun and creativity) beginning September 5th, you may be tempted to take on everything at once. However, doing so will easily lead to a burn out. Make sure you use the powers of Virgo to decide what warrants your time and energy and what doesn’t. This will be especially true when the Full Moon in Pisces lands in your zone of rest, healing, and retreat on September 6th.

Under the influence of this Pisces moon, you may find yourself pushed towards a place of surrender, which means giving up the need to control things you have no control over and spending too much time on things that rob you of your sense of fulfillment. In other words, let go. While this moon may have you in your feelings, take it as a cue to address your deeper needs. By the 9th, when Mercury moves back home to Virgo, the pace picks up again; packing your schedule with all sorts of errands and appointments. The key to staying on track will be to finish what you start and keeping things sweet and simple. When Venus arrives to the Virgo party on September 19th, this could be a good time for job hunting. Venus will be beaming her good fortune your way, especially alongside the New Moon in Virgo on September 20th. Tap the power of the new moon to help you with implementing new projects, improving your health, and better aligning with your purpose. When the Sun moves into Libra (your zone of partnership) on September 22nd, look to joining forces with others to help you get ahead professionally. And speaking of your professional life, having transformative Pluto in Capricorn moving forward again (September 28th) in your zone of career and achievement, you should feel a sense of being reborn when it comes to pursuing your goals and ambitions. On the 29th, when Mercury moves into Libra, look to connect with new people; especially those that can teach you something new.

Taurus: Ready? Set? Go, Taurus! Though we’re entering the month on the tail end of a Mercury retrograde, it won’t mean that September will be a slow-moving month, as the stars will be doing their share to help push you forward. The action begins on September 5th, with passionate Mars entering Virgo, your zone of romance, creativity, and adventure. With Mars revving things up, you’ll find that you’ll be craving more fun and excitement than usual. This is a good thing as Mars will help you to find the courage to try new things and avoid getting stuck on the same old stuff. That goes for love affairs too. With Mercury moving forward again in Leo (September 5th); your zone of home and family, you should have a clear idea of what you may need to release from your past in order to move forward.

Aries: The key themes for you this month are focus and intention as March opens with Venus retrograde (March 4th) in your zone of self-image and confidence. As Venus is the planet in charge of self-worth, relationships, and finances, your homework will involve reassessing your connection to each. Have you let money (how much you have or don’t have) define you? Are you putting your best foot forward when it comes to getting the things you want? In terms of your look and personal style, what can you do for yourself so that you not only look better but feel better too? These are just a few of the questions that will come up for answers now. On March 9th, when Mars (your patron saint) enters Taurus (your zone of income and values), your lessons in self-esteem continue as you’re encouraged to go after money-making opportunities that not only offer you financial freedom but pay you what you’re worth.

Look to this moon to highlight things that need improvement or trashing altogether when it comes to what you eat, how you physically feel, and your everyday habits. When it comes to work, this moon could give you the push you need to say goodbye to a current employment situation. On the 13th, when Mercury enters Aries, expect things to speed up significantly. With Mercury’s help, mark this as your time to get curious and get into new experiences with new faces and places.

Taurus: This month it’s all about finding your way back to what makes you feel alive and reconnecting to  your own unique style. Though in order to do this, you first need to get clear about what moves you in the first place. Expect this to be your focus during much of the month as your ruling planet Venus goes retrograde (March 4th) in Aries, your zone of rest, retreat, and dreams. With Venus retrograde here, you’ll have to draw inward and tap into the more soulful part of you in order to figure out what really speaks to your spirit. If there was a mantra for Venus in Aries, it should be – only do it if your heart is 100% in it. If not, leave it alone. This should become your motto by the time go-getter Mars enters Taurus (your zone of confidence and self-image) on March 9th. Having Mars on your team not only helps to turn up your swag one hundred thousand trillion, but it can also give you the eye of the tiger when it comes to getting things done.

You’ll also find that the conflict between getting paid for what you love versus getting paid enough to pay your bills will also be a theme. Though with Venus, the underlying issue to each of these challenges will focus around how much you value yourself and your own happiness. With Venus in self-assertive Aries, put yourself first.

February 2017 Horoscopes

Aries: Welcome to your reinvention. If last month was all about surrender, release, and sleep; this month it’s all about victory, manifesting, and momentum. Not only do you have Mars, your ruling planet, back home in Aries (your zone of self-confidence and self-image) but Venus will be joining Mars in this zone on February 3rd. Having Venus in your sign is important because wherever she goes, she brings lots of opportunities for love, pleasure, and financial rewards. With Venus and Mars on your side over the next few weeks, it means that you’ll have just the right amount of confidence, charm, and creativity to get what you want and do what you want, which means that now is not the time to lose focus or steam when it comes to your goals and plans. Because we’re dealing with some fresh, yet unstable energy this month, it’s important to remain centered, grounded, and specific about what you want especially when it comes to love and relationships.

About love and relationships; when Jupiter begins its four-month retrograde in Libra, your zone of marriage and partnerships, on February 6th, you may need to reassess a relationship, your beliefs about relationships or marriage, or review a lesson in love. One theme that you may notice that’s been coming up for you over and over since Jupiter has been in Libra is how you can’t always go it alone. With Mars and Venus being in Aries, the downside is that it can make you too egocentric or give you the feeling that you don’t need anyone. If it’s one lesson that 2017 is teaching us, it’s how much we need the love and support of other people to thrive. This theme repeats for you yet again, by the 7th when Mercury enters Aquarius, your zone of friendship and community. With Mercury here, friendship and allyship will be an important part in helping you bring your ideas to life as well as capitalizing on the impressive resume you’ve been building. Also, if social justice or tech is your focus, Mercury in Aquarius can help you move masses.

On the 10th, your love life and self-confidence come back into focus when an influential Lunar Eclipse in Leo lands in your zone of romance, creativity, and adventure. Over the six months that follow this eclipse, you may end a relationship, end the single life, or be moved to creatively express yourself in a way that pushes you into the public eye. Since this zone of your chart is also connected to children, some Leo may be expecting. However, if children aren’t on your must have list right now, make sure you plan wisely as eclipses can deliver sudden news. On February 18th, the Sun enters Pisces, your zone of rest, retreat, and healing. While we’re still a month out from your grand re-opening, having the Sun in this private area of your chart will assist you in clearing out space for what’s to come. Part of this clearing will happen around Mercury’s move into Pisces on the 25th, followed by a powerful Solar Eclipse in Pisces on the 26th. At this times you may be moved to reconnect with Spirit, begin counseling or therapy, or to take a much needed hiatus. With Mercury in your zone of secrets, it may best to keep any plans or big launches under wraps until Mercury moves to Aries. Things are looking up again, Aries.

Taurus: The month opens with Venus (your planetary ruler) leaving the deep waters of Pisces for the burning fires of Aries on February 3rd.  With Venus joining confident Mars in Aries in your zone of rest, healing, and release the source of your pleasure will come from taking charge of your well-being. You may find yourself motivated to set aside time (and guard it) for rest and relaxation or take up a practice that combines physical movement, sweat, and meditation – like Kundalini yoga – to help you with blowing off steam. With aggressive Mars camped out in one of the most sensitive areas of your chart, you’ll find that you’ll have a lot of steam to release. Though instead of sitting on your feelings and imploding (or exploding), looking for ways to deal with your emotions in a healthy way will be your best move. As such, counseling or therapy could be an option.

Since we’re on the topic of your well-being, when expansive Jupiter begins its four-month retrograde in Libra – your zone of health, work, and routine — on the 6th; you may need to reassess where you may be overdoing it when it comes to food, alcohol (Libra rules the kidneys), or your workload. While you’re known to indulge in good food and hard work, you need to make sure that your body can keep up with all the wear and tear you’re putting on it. Since Jupiter can sometimes take things overboard, you may also want to watch out for extreme dieting or exercise too. On the 7th, when Mercury joins the Sun in Aquarius in your zone of fame, career, and achievement get ready to step up and be noticed. If you have a professional presentation of any kind to make, Mercury in Aquarius will assist you in getting the word out and making an impression on the people that matter.

On the 10th, a powerful Lunar Eclipse in Leo lands in your zone of home and family. Over the six months that follow this eclipse, you could be offered the opportunity to relocate or move based on a dream job offer or you could find the ideal home or apartment. Since this zone is also connected to motherhood and parenting (and Leo is associated with children), there could be the chance of a pregnancy or adoption if you’ve been trying. If children are not a part of your immediate future, make sure to plan accordingly as eclipses are notorious for delivering surprises. When the Sun enters Pisces, your zone of friendship and future plans, on February 18th; your focus turns to connecting with like-minded souls that can support you in achieving your dreams. This will be especially true when Mercury shifts into Pisces on the 25th, followed by a Solar Eclipse in Pisces on the 26th. Over the six months that follow this eclipse, your mission will be to align yourself with supportive people, organizations, and affiliations that represent the person that you are becoming. Essentially you are building your community. One caveat: beware of seeing only what you want to see when it comes to friends and allies now. Rely on intuition to steer you in the right direction.

Gemini:  Community becomes a big deal to you this month as relationship-oriented Venus enters Aries, your zone of friendship and associations, on February 3rd. With Venus joining confident Mars in Aries this zone, you could find yourself ditching old, stodgy friends in lieu of people that speak to your heart and to the person that you are becoming. As Mars is notorious for stirring up arguments, you could break off a relationship with someone you know. Though if the “break up” was due, Mars in Aries could help speed up the process. Another way you can channel this fiery energy is by taking up a cause to advocate or liberate the underprivileged or underrepresented as Aries loves a good fight.

Look to this month as your planetary pass to break the monotony. Right now it’s about feeding your biggest dreams and your big spirit. On the 11th, Venus moves into Capricorn and into your zone of intimacy and finances. With Venus here you could come by some extra cash through an investment, a financial gift or a loan.

As a sign that’s motivated by safety and security you thrive on relationships that are mutually beneficial or at the very least, offer you something for the long term.

With Mars in this area of your chart, you’ll have to watch out for disagreements between you and your significant other (whether romantic or professional) over the next few weeks, though Mars here could give you the courage you need to end a bad business or romantic relationship or to set better boundaries within one. If you find that this energy has the two of you feeling cagey, channel that passion into the bedroom or boardroom. Sometimes there’s nothing like hot, angry sex or a heated brainstorming meeting to get the blood (and creativity) pumping. On the 11th, when Venus enters Capricorn, your zone of health and routine, it’s time to make prioritizing a part of your self-care routine. You love to stay busy and are always willing to lend a helping hand to others, but if you’ve got one to many things on your plate, you risk becoming overwhelmed and burnt out.

That’s because Mars, the planet of action, is entering Aquarius – your zone of health, work, and routine – on November 9th. With Mars in this area of your chart, your mission (should you choose to accept it) will be to establish better boundaries between your work life and your personal life, actively look for a new job if your current one is making you unhappy/physically ill, actively looking for new ways to beat fatigue, anxiety, or burnout (most likely through exercise), looking into alternative forms of treatment for a health condition.

With Mars in an unconventional sign like Aquarius, your best bet for a good time is to spend time traveling the off-beaten path. Take off for somewhere you’ve never been, with someone that’s not your usual type and see what kind of magic unfolds. Even if you’re happily in a relationship, expect the sparks to fly if you bring a little spontaneity and experimentation into the picture (or bedroom). On the 11th, when Venus enters security oriented Capricorn, your zone of home and family, some of you could decide to put down roots or establish more of a foundation by moving in with a partner, starting a family, purchasing a home or signing a lease, or building a home business.

With action-oriented Mars in this tender zone of your chart, the Universe is asking that you be more proactive in creating a sense of sanctuary for yourself. This could mean moving or relocating to a new place, making some improvements or upgrades to your space, or setting down some better boundaries between yourself and a person (or persons) that you share a residence or property with. Since a transit like this also has a knack for bringing up old resentments or wounds, this may also be a time for you to receive some sort of therapy to help you heal issues with anger. On the 11th Venus enters Capricorn, your zone of communication. With money-loving Venus here in a money-loving sign like Capricorn, your skill set and marketability come to the forefront this month.

Sagittarius: Let’s sit down and talk for a second, Sag. Have you been avoiding saying something you really need to say because you fear being uncomfortable? When gutsy Mars enters into Aquarius (November 9th), your zone of communication, whatever has been bubbling beneath the surface will need to find its way out. You’re known around the zodiac as being one of the more tell it like it is signs but since you’re also an adaptable, go with the flow kind of sign, you can sometimes put up with things way past their due date because you don’t want things to get ugly.  The thing is, sometimes you need to face/handle the ugly in order to live authentically. And Mars in Aquarius certainly doesn’t want you sticking with a system, perception, or routine that is no longer working for you. On the 11th, money-loving Venus enters money-loving Capricorn, your zone of income and possessions. With Venus in this zone of your chart (along with Pluto), she will be working to help you attract opportunities that can help you increase your cash flow. However, the trick to making more money now will not only be about how much work you put in, but it will also be about whether or not you believe that you deserve such abundance. Now’s not the time play yourself small. On the 12th, talkative Mercury enters Sagittarius which should put you in the mood to be out and about. Expect to make some promising connections with people in both business and romance. If there’s something you need to announce or share, having Mercury in your sign is a great time to do it.

Capricorn: Your month comes in with a bit of a bang, thanks to passionate Mars entering Aquarius (your zone of income and possessions) on November 9th.

However, instead of becoming overly focused on a space of lack, look to new ways that you can actively increase your income. Hint: it may be doing something that’s considered non-traditional or different from your normal. Either way, the money you make now will depend on your ability to be more assertive about your self-worth and what you truly deserve. In other words, this is not a time for settling. One caveat to this transit though: a spike in unexpected expenses. Have some reserves at the ready. On the 11th, when charming Venus enters Capricorn, your zone of confidence and self-image, prepare to wow and be wowed. With Venus at your front door, she will be helping you to amplify your magnetism; bringing you some enjoyably provocative encounters with others.

On the 29th, a New Moon in Sagittarius can help you with making a clean break from what is no longer working in your life.

Aquarius: Nothing moves unless you say it does for most of this month, and that’s because you’ll have iron-willed Mars on your side beginning on November 9th. With Mars in Aquarius, your zone of confidence and self-image, look to become very intentional about what you want, because Mars will be giving you the focus, extra energy, and the take no prisoners attitude to get it. Also, since Mars is a very physical kind of planet, consider its trip through your sign the perfect time to work off any extra steam by doing something that gets you hot and sweaty. If a better body is what you’re after, Mars could also lend you the discipline needed to make it happen. On the 11th, pleasure-loving Venus enters Capricorn, your zone of rest, retreat, and healing.

Pisces: The month opens up a bit slowly thanks to action-oriented Mars entering Aquarius (November 9th) and stepping into your zone of rest, healing, and retreat. Since this zone is not a comfortable place for Mars to be, you’ll have to use Mars in Aquarius’ power to be proactive in finding new (and possibly nontraditional) ways to feed and nourish your soul. With pent up anger being one of the side effects of this transit, this could be the perfect time to start therapy. By the 11th, when pleasure loving Venus moves into Capricorn, you may feel caught between wanting to stay home and wanting to be social. However, don’t feel daunted. With Venus in sensible Capricorn, your source of good vibes and abundance will come by sticking to events/outings that allow for professional networking and kicking back with a few longtime friends. Think quality vs. quantity now. On the 12th, communicative Mercury steps into Sagittarius, your zone of fame, career, and achievement.
