Week of January 29 – February 4, 2023

“The art of life is a constant readjustment to our surroundings.” — Kakuzo Okakaura

This week with so many major squares is a time to embrace change. It’s a week to gather all of the innovative, overwhelming, exciting ideas you’ve been having. If you see things in a new light, don’t be surprised. You’ll also be feeling them in a new light very soon!

Now is the time to not fear or shy away from change. It is your birthright to embrace the new beginnings and perspective shifts coming in. Trust in what’s already coming your way, Luminary.

Creative breakthroughs
What inner integration quantum leaps you onto a new track?

Your will is strong. This is the energy that you need to work through creative blocks and persist. You are so close to a breakthrough, so do not let the feelings of restriction stop you now. The creative tension right now can be used for momentum to further your cause. Any resistance you are feeling is proof that you are close! You have that inner sense that you know!

Creative brilliance on the horizon, you got this.

Especially persevering for fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius)!

Mental/emotional magnetism
What emotional integration is happening?

Emotionally, it has been intense and expansive at the same time, for we are all at a tipping point if we are not already tipped. Yet there are inner signs showing you that you are worthy of deep connection and attraction. What has changed in your emotional landscape? Mindset? What challenges or frustrations do you now understand, on a mind, body and spirit level? What triggers or glimmers have shown you the way?

Especially arousing for mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces).

“And the speaking will get easier and easier. And you will find you have fallen in love with your own vision, which you may never have realized you had.” — Audre Lorde

Happy Full Moon in Leo! Shining bold and brightly this week through your thoughts and words is a must, as your inner world is lit up with the wonder of the world before you. It may also be a week where you focus on your relationship to significance and wonder.

You may feel yourself compelled to understand the deeper truths that are uniquely yours; this is also because Mercury is leaving its shadow and entering the innovative sign of Aquarius! This week, the planet of communications and mind agility will be dancing with a lot of other planets. Heed the differing types of thoughts coming into your mind; they’re all insights and new ideas for what comes next in your Work. Believe in yourself with all of the bold force of the Sun-ruled Full Moon and you’ll feel unstoppable.

Full Moon Leo 16°

10:28 AM PT | 1:28 PM ET

Break glass in time of urgency
AKA it’s time to shine bright and break free

This is an electrifying Full Moon with the confident Leo moon reflecting the light of the changemaking Aquarian Sun both of which being pulled by the gravitational forces of Uranus in a t-square in Taurus.

This is the Full Moon you’ve been waiting for if you haven’t been able to take that quantum leap forward because you’ve been feeling trapped by the fear of change. You know you need the change and you know that the only thing holding you back from shining brightly is — yourself.

Resist the urge to be hard on yourself, change hasn’t always been safe. And today all of this is going to change. Venus and Mars give you the compassion and understanding to show you that all you have been through was needed as it got you to this place, here and now.

Shine the light into your heart and soul and reveal what wants to leap out. Celebrate all that has got you here, thank all the fears of change that have protected you, and let those fears go as you no longer need them where you’re going so you can take a quantum leap of faith!

Especially liberating for fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius).

Astro Notes:

• Full Moon t-square with Uranus – break glass in case of emergency
• Venus square Mars – magnetic in heart and mind
• Mars sextile Chiron – fears into opportunities
• Mercury sextile Neptune – words of practical magic

Your words have power

Mercury, your ability to comprehend and communicate, and Pluto, your ability to transform and intensify, meet up for the third time, thanks to the Mercury Rx with a refined, clear, distilled, and powerful message. Your words have power.

Now you have a clear understanding of how and what you want to transform, it’s time to put these thoughts into powerful words to call in your greater communities over your shared vision. Maybe use these powerful ideas as a manifesto, and share them with whoever will listen. Keep this understanding close to your heart and at the root of all your communications.

You could skip this big ask, but what would you miss? Choose wisely.

Especially compelling for late Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)

Mercury enters Aquarius

3:22 AM PT | 6:22 AM ET

Future thinking
What new perspectives do you want to give voice to?

Now through March 2, 2023, Mercury will spend time in free-thinking Aquarius. Mercury loves being in Aquarius as it gets to think about the future and gets to use its quicksilver quickness to experiment with new ideas.

When Mercury is in Aquarius our thoughts, mindset, and the way we understand information has a technical edge, are quick-paced, and is for the greater good. All the downloads you get about the future may feel like a download of pure knowingness because Aquarius rules our nervous system.

This would be a great time to get clear on what you want to contribute to your greater networks, platforms, or even social media. The trendier and more cutting edge the better.

Luminaries with Mercury in Aquarius natally, you are attracted to…

It’s hard for you to…

It’s easy for you to…

People are drawn to you…

In your Work…

Week of February 12 – 18, 2023

“When you rest, you catch your breath and it holds you up, like water wings…” — Anne Lamott

With the Sun entering Pisces and the planets aspecting around themes of flow and healing, this is the time to let yourself fully rejuvenate and take a break from the whirlwind of the last few months. With all planets direct, your creativity may be in full throttle.

This week, let yourself dream big, and don’t put down the pressure to “do” just yet. Trust you already have the structures inside of you to get done what you must. Now is the time to look before you leap. And look for as long as you’d like!

4Q Moon Scorpio

8:01 AM PT | 11:01 AM ET

Regenerate
What will you detox and eliminate?

Deep restoration can be a radical act. To completely stop doing and to literally drop all your tasks so you can tune into yourself. To detox from all notifications and busyness. To detox from emotional baggage. To detox from toxic people. What do you need to cut off? This is what you need right now with the 4Q moon integration phase. If you take even 24 hours to regenerate, you will feel much more open and ready for the next.

The last quarter moon phase is an integration phase. A time to cultivate all that we have learned and assess what we want to continue with and what we want to churn back into the earth as nourishment for the seeds we’ve planted.

Venus conjunct Neptune

4:25 AM PT | 7:25 AM ET

Creativity + imagination flows
What is your higher octave of creativity and connectivity?

One of the brightest days of the year – you’ll feel good, so be sure to connect with those you love.

Venus and Neptune meeting up feels absolutely beautiful and expansive, especially in Pisces where Neptune is at home and Venus is exalted like a VIP guest. For a day leading up to and away from this meet-up feels like a soul-encompassing joyful embrace, ahh. Venus, our ability to connect with the right people and the right resources, and Neptune, a similar energy at a higher octave, interconnects us all at a soul level. When these two lovely energies meet, everything beautiful and sublime comes together in a dreamy vision. This is a great energy to feel and manifest your dreams. The challenge is to take that vision from so high above and bring it down to this Earthly plane without losing this fleeting yet intense Love. Capture this beauty by sharing it through the generous work you offer in your business.

Especially “vibeful” for mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces).

Creative Focus
For what unique expertise do you want to be recognized?

The Sun, your creative force and natural talent, and Saturn, your commitment and mastery, meet today in late Aquarius, starting a new creative mastery cycle for projects you’ve been putting in your due diligence. You can think of this meeting as a New Moon, a time of new beginnings, of clearing the slate between these two energies. Today you get to decide on what you will focus on for the next 6 months that will help you focus on your innovative, creative mastery – your unique approach to what you do. Remember, there is no one else in the world who can do what you do, and how you do it. Focus and commit to this approach.

Especially focused for late fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius).

Season of magical possibilities
How can you bring more easeful imagination into your Work?

It’s Pisces season! A time to connect to your Divine, magical self to make life and Work easier, lovelier, and in more flow. Life is an illusion, not a delusion, when we are in the game where our reality is created from our dreams and visions. The power of Pisces is to connect with all times, places and spaces with empathy, artistry, love and Spirit. An interconnectedness like no other.

Interconnectedness is about first connecting to your Highest Self, your soul, your Divine Spirit – whatever the name you have for her. Through her, you feel into your work and trust your intuitive business decisions. Through her, you access your vast inner knowing through Piscean efforts like dreaming, imagination, music, imagery, and poetry. There is nothing logical about Pisces, so how do you go with the flow this season?

If you have a strong Pisces placement in your chart (Sun, Moon, Rising, or Neptune on the Ascendant) you have a dreamy and artistic, musical vibe. Your superpowers are being able to transcend yourself and others to other times, places, or spaces through your Work. Your compassion and empathy are your strength. Do not try to understand or logic your abilities, for as you try to grasp them, they will slip through your fingers. Life is an illusion, and you are the illusion creator – a movie director of sorts. What will you magically create?

During this season, may we all choose compassion, empathy, and the divine embodiment of flow in our businesses.

For all the Piscean Luminaries, the most loving and flowy solar return (birthday) to you.

Week of February 19 – 25, 2023

“Maybe the yes comes before the readiness. Maybe you say yes and then you become equipped to handle whatever is about to happen.” — Glennon Doyle

The New Moon in Pisces occurring next to the planet of love and beauty, Venus, entering Aries means it’s time to embrace the unconscious while also understanding the lit up fires of the conscious!

You may find yourself feeling even more inspired than usual to take action, because you have clarity on your dreams. Seek out this feeling of newness and honor it in the way that you want to. There are so many methods of doing it; don’t be afraid to craft your own rhythm in this season!

Invoking Practical Magic
AKA Magic for pragmatists

It’s a new beginning of committing to your spiritual revolution and interconnected success. This New Moon coupled with Saturn sharing space at this early Pisces degree requests a fresh, crystal-clear, pledge to your practical magic.

Practical Magic is the spiritual and emotional tools you harness to accomplish the goals that matter to you. If you’re less woo and more of a pragmatist, this might mean leaning on your soft creativity like art, music, and poetry to move the needle forward.

Regardless, this is your call to make a promise (Saturn’s way of accountability) to yourself to practice self-compassion, empathy and the feeling of Universal love in both your inner awakening and your outward leadership.

It is this Pisces energy you need to connect at a soul level to your highest possibilities.

You know you’ve reached your highest potential when life and Work is easy, fluid, and joyful, despite the everyday obstacles that are always there.

Pluto is at the very last degree of Capricorn, having almost completed his job of tearing down the oppressive institutionalized systems that have embedded themselves in our mindsets. Venus in Pisces, with a touch of her magic empathy, is able to dissolve the shackles of shame and fear once and for all. You now have the grace and lightness to rise above and see a completely new possibility wrapped in Universal love, grace and magic.

In the last New Moon in Aquarius that was conjoined with Pluto – you had a breakthrough in claiming what you desire for yourself. Now, the Lights (Luminaries, Sun and Moon) cozy up to Saturn reminding you that only YOU can commit to what you want.

For this Pisces New Moon – create a new pledge, a promise to your intuitive gifts, your practical magic and your pragmatic self-compassion.

Astro notes

• Sun, Moon, Neptune and Venus in Pisces – Universal connection and love
• New Moon conjunct Saturn – Magic for pragmatists
• Venus sextile Pluto – Compassion replaces shame
• Mercury sextile Chiron – Speaking to what was unspeakable

Venus enters Aries

Connect by taking lead
With what pioneers and leaders are you meant to connect?

Now through March 16, Venus (attraction and abundance) quickly sails through Aries meeting up with Jupiter (expansion, vision, and belief) on March 1, then Chiron (wounds we heal in others) on March 4.

While in Aries, Venus loves extending the invitation and opening the doors to connect with other trailblazers, risk and action takers, and those that desire to be the best and the first. A bit of competition is fun for Venus in Aries as she knows that it makes her extra attractive. Venus in Aries glows up with all things edgy and risky.

In your Work, how can you use this energy to connect with other risk-takers and leaders, like you, who are ready to leap into action? Because there’s no time like now to get a jump start!

Venus stays in Aries for just a few weeks (and that’s great for her because taking the lead isn’t normally her M.O.). She would rather wait for the invitation and will be able to relax when she returns home to her cozy home sign of Taurus.

For Luminaries with Venus in Aries natally, you are attracted to taking risks, especially when it comes to attracting other go-getters and being an early adopter. It’s hard for you to cool it in groups, as you naturally want all the attention. It’s easy for you to go after what you want, especially when it comes to something you see as the best of the best. Know that it’s ok to want only the best, for it’s in your soul. Know that this is a strength, as you have a keen ability to sense these things out. People are drawn to you for your hots and your drive. And be sure that the vibes you are giving off, you are harnessing in honorable ways, not to take advantage of others. In your Work, harness your go-get-it value and heat up your worth.

Change-making thinking
What new inner awareness is shaking up your thoughts of change?

A day to take a risk and ask for something out of the ordinary

Mercury in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus create tension. A tension that wants to be integrated, a tension that encourages growth of something even better. Mercury, your ability to perceive new ideas and Uranus, your need to create new ideas will square off today, possibly triggering an unexpected outcome. This outcome comes from within, you’ve had a quantum leap in your mindset and are ready to spark or say something unique.

Especially awakening for Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius).

“Listen to yourself, and in that quietude, you might hear the voice of God.” — Maya Angelou

Remember at the beginning of the month, when the planet Mercury was going through a lot for an entire week before entering Aquarius? Come back to what you learned then. What innovative thoughts did you have?

Whatever wasn’t acted on then or dwelt upon, is now urging you to speak for it. Go forth and try to lean into your own understanding. This time, at the end of our last month of winter, is going to benefit you in this regard!

Act and engage
What is one thing you can communicate today that will take action on your intention?

It’s the beginning of the week-long 2Q moon phase where the moon gains light from a quarter moon to full. With this waxing, it is perfect timing to grow into your goals and New Moon intentions by taking action. You’ve done your planning, and thinking, and now it’s time to act.

You may have changed your mind about something, and that’s ok. What needs to be communicated now that you have seen things in a different light? What action can you take that expresses your new perception and engages dialogue or curiosity?
