June 19-25 Horoscopes

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes for the week of Monday, June 19 - Sunday, June 25

This week is Summer Solstice (in the Northern hemisphere) or Litha, another turn in the Wheel of the Year. This represents the triumphant day of the Sun, the longest day and shortest night of the year. Astrologically, Solstice is initiated when the sun moves into 0º Cancer, which will occur at 9:24pm PDT on Tuesday. So on Tuesday we’ll also enter Cancer solar cycle, and right away on Friday we’ll have our Cancer new moon, the starting point and new beginning for Cancer suns. The moon is the ruler of the sign of Cancer and bestows upon the Crab an ability to connect emotionally and a deep sensitivity. This sign rules the breasts and belly. On Wednesday in the early morning hours Mercury, the mental planet, moves into the sign of Cancer also. We’ll be swimming in a sea of feelings for a while. So if your sun or ascendant are in Cancer, this will be your week! And if you’re everyone else… enjoy Solstice. :)

Aries & Aries Rising
We celebrate Summer Solstice this week, when the sun moves into the sign of Cancer which happens Tuesday night. This new Cancer sun cycle of four weeks is in your house of home and family. And the new moon on Friday night is also in Cancer, which means you can set intentions now that will grow for the next six months that revolve around your homelife. Themes for this Crab season include domestic affairs, relocating or redecorating, women and mother-figures, children, foundations, self-care and home.

The planet of communication, Mercury, also moves to Cancer on Wednesday, keeping the focus of your thoughts and conversations on family matters. This would be an ideal time to discuss expanding your family, real estate, your parents, to spend time with and get insight from female mentors or mother-figures in life, or to just invest more time and energy into your family members and homelife. All of this water makes you uncomfortable for the most part, but it could be beneficial to soften just a little and look for ways to create a cozy and stable home.

Taurus & Taurus Rising
This week we celebrate Summer Solstice, when the sun moves into Cancer on Tuesday night. For the next four weeks, your attention will be focused on communication, travel and family ties. On Friday there’s a new moon in Cancer, a time for you to set new intentions which will grow for the next six months, with themes of ideas and technology, community and family, travel and self-expression.

The communication planet Mercury moves into Cancer and this part of your chart on Wednesday, joining the party. This is an optimal placement in your chart for inspired and clear speech and logic and for doing such things as applying for artist residencies or writing jobs, learning a new manual skill or studying a new subject.

As an earth sign all of this water energy could make you feel heavier than usual, or maybe cloud your perceptions slightly, so stay focused on your goals and use this energy to your advantage.

Gemini & Gemini Rising
It’s Summer Solstice this week, happening on Tuesday night when the sun enters the sign of Cancer. This initiates a new solar cycle, so for the next four weeks your energy will shift to second house themes: money, career, possessions, stability, and self-worth. This will be a great month to focus on your financial success and making any plans or moves that will further your career. We have a new moon in Cancer on Friday, so the intentions that you set will be about abundance and wealth and worth. These intentions will grow until the full Cancer moon six months from now.

Mercury, the planet of the mind, joins the sun in Cancer on Wednesday moving into this same part of your chart. Your thoughts and conversations will center on finances. This is a great time for planning new sources of income and increasing your earning power.

Cancer & Cancer Rising
This is a good week for you, with a lot of action in your first house. The sun moves into your sign on Tuesday evening making it your solar return month. This also initiates Summer Solstice, when the sun reaches 0º Cancer. This is the longest day of the year and a personally significant day for you to contemplate how far you’ve come and what you’re grateful for.

Also this week you’ll have Mercury joining your sign and first house. Mercury is the planet of communication and thinking, so your considerations will be clear, communication direct and self-expression strong.

Your new moon of the year comes quickly, happening this week on Friday night. This Cancer new moon is special for you, a time to set intentions for how you want to live. These seeds planted will grow until the full moon in your sign six months from now. Tune in to your intuition and align yourself with yourself with this seasonal and energetic shift; speak out like a spell your heart’s desires for this new year.

Leo & Leo Rising
This week we celebrate Solstice, the longest day of the year, triumph of the sun, your ruler. The sun enters the sign of Cancer on Tuesday night and initiates Cancer sun cycle; for the next month you’ll feel compelled to get rest and do some healing. Since it’s the month before your solar return, the sun spends time in your house of endings and closure and you get to release self-defeating behaviors and clear old karma. This is a necessary time for you, so that you can look honestly at your life and clear out what’s holding your back and sabotaging your joy.

Mercury, the communication planet, also moves to Cancer this week, further emphasizing the need to let go of disappointments and think about ways to enact compassion and self-acceptance. Hidden agendas and secrets could come to light now, which only assists your transformation.

There’s a significant new moon in Cancer on Friday night in this same part of your chart; set some intentions to let go of sorrows and self-defeating tendencies and to invoke your dreams.

Virgo & Virgo Rising
This week is Summer Solstice, when the sun moves into Cancer. This new sun cycle in your house of friends and wishes begins on Tuesday evening. For the next four weeks your energy will be focused on alliances, intellectual pleasures, the groups you belong to, and your goals and objectives in life.

Mercury, the mental planet, joins the sun in Cancer and your eleventh house. This will be a more social time period for you, and you’ll be able to deepen friendships and make new acquaintances. Think about and talk about things like what you value in friendship, what you enjoy about other people, your idealism and your long term goals.

Also, on Friday evening we have a Cancer new moon initiating a new lunar cycle. Set intentions for this new beginning, clarify your vision and remember your dreams.

Libra & Libra Rising
This week the sun moves into the sign of Cancer, making it Summer Solstice. The sun enters the sensitive sign and your career sector on Tuesday evening. For the next month your attention will turn to work, your achievements, and material success. This part of your chart also connects you to fathers and father figures, and all aspects of your profession.

On Wednesday, Mercury, the planet of the mind, joins the sun in Cancer and your tenth house. This is a great time to verbally express your long term goals, ask for a raise or promotion, or have a brainstorming session with an expert in your field or male mentor or father figure.

Additionally, there’s a new moon in Cancer on Friday night, further emphasizing work and achievement; set intentions for this new lunar cycle all about success, ambition and achievement in the work you do in the world.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
We celebrate the turning of the wheel of the year this week: Summer Solstice is on Tuesday. This also means that the sun is shifting into Cancer, your house of studies and travel. For the next four weeks, you’ll be drawn to explore new educational pathways, higher education, foreign travel, religion and philosophy and self-discovery.

Then on Wednesday, the mental planet Mercury also moves to Cancer and this part of your chart. Your mental energy and conversations will be all about these ninth house themes. Mental pursuits, blunt talk and honesty will come to you with great ease.

And finally, we have a new moon in Cancer on Friday night. This new lunar cycle will wax for the next six months until the full Cancer moon, so set intentions now for travel plans, freedom, and new explorations.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
We celebrate the solar festival of Solstice this week, when the sun moves into the sign of Cancer on Tuesday evening. For the next month, your attention will be focused on themes of intimacy and privacy, shared resources, and astral experiences. You may decide to move in with a lover or join forces with a business partner now, or there may be an inheritance.

Mercury, the planet of communication, moves into Cancer on Wednesday and into this same realm. This implies that your thoughts and conversations will center on these same themes.

You may need to discuss sex or shared wealth or your spiritual experiences.

In addition, we have a new moon in Cancer on Friday night, beginning a new lunar cycle. Set intentions for the new moon keeping with these same themes. You can invoke deeper intimacy with a partner or to have more psychic sensitivity to spiritual experiences for example.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
This week we celebrate Summer Solstice and the sun moving into Cancer on Tuesday. This shifts your energy to relationships, partnerships and marriage for the next month. This part of your chart is all about the mate your choose in life, the people you go into business with, the partnerships you make.

Mercury, the planet of the mind, joins the sun in Cancer on Wednesday and moves more mental energy and focus to your partnership house. This would be a good time to make negotiations, enter into a contractual agreement, or make things official with your love.

There’s also a new moon this week in Cancer, on Friday night. Set your new moon intentions for the next lunar cycle all about relationships and harmony within your serious partnerships.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
We’ve arrived at Solstice, and this week on Tuesday the sun moves into Cancer, your house of health. For the next four weeks of this cycle your attention will turn to health and spiritual hygiene. Get rid of anything that causes so much stress it makes you sick. And get re-organized at home and in the office. Make your health a priority now.

Mercury, the mental planet, also moves into Cancer this week and puts more of your mental energy and focus on your well being. This would be a good time to get doctors visits and check ups done.

The mental seeds that you plant now will grow for the next six months and bloom at the Cancer full moon.

June 12-18 Horoscopes

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes for the week of Monday, June 12 - Sunday, June 18  

This week we’re still adjusting to the dynamic astrology of last week and the weekend before that. Jupiter is getting used to direct motion and we are ready and waiting for the magic-maker’s positivity and expansion in our lives. At this point, we’ll take anything we can get, and Jupiter is a powerhouse planet of good vibes. This week another outer planet causes a stir; Neptune turns retrograde until November 22. Neptune is retrograde about half of the year, so it’s not a new experience but maybe one that you’re just becoming aware of. There’s plenty to say about this but in general during this time the empaths are more empathic, the dreamers are dreamier, and our delusional and addictive tendencies can surface and be more pronounced, so we should be aware. After last week’s movement, Venus is happy to be at home in Taurus and Mercury is best suited for Gemini, so many of the aggravations that surfaced over the past weeks, especially in romantic partnerships or with loved ones, will ease up now. And it’s almost time for Solstice!?!
xo, KK

Some notable aspects:
Tuesday- Mercury/Jupiter trine, Mercury/Neptune square
Thursday- Sun/Saturn opposition
Friday- Neptune rx in Pisces
Sunday- Moon/Jupiter opposition, Mercury/Saturn opposition

Recommendations:
I am recommending black tourmaline for all signs this week in particular, and for the rest of Neptune’s retrograde cycle as protection from psychic attack and to ward off unwanted energies. It will also help you to ground. In addition, I’m recommending working with Gardenia and Lily flowers (*some lilies are poisonous to cats so please take precautions) which are both lunar plants associated with the water element. Gardenias can be placed on your altar or you can use the dried petals sprinkled around a room to increase ease and peacefulness. Lilies can be planted in your garden to protect against “the evil eye” and to keep unwanted people away.

Aries & Aries Rising
The main news for this week is Neptune’s station. The dreamy planet will turn retrograde in Pisces on Friday. This retrograde cycle lasts until November, so you’ll have plenty of time to get used to it, but the station day could feel heavy or intense in some way. Neptune’s in your house of sorrows and rest. Neptune rules Pisces and is at home there, and in this part of your chart the spiritual planet influences you to be more sensitive, creative, and helpful toward others. And during this sleep cycle, you’ll be more attuned to the hidden, the illusive, but could also feel more paranoid or irritated. Try to avoid drugs, particularly stimulants, self-defeating behaviors, and being around psychic vampires during this retrograde. Tune in to your intuition and trust your vision.

Taurus & Taurus Rising
This week’s big news is that Neptune, the planet of spirituality, turns retrograde on Friday. This happens in your friendship house, the area all about teamwork, organizations you participate in, alliances, technology and objectives. While Neptune is retrograde, you’ll be more intuitive and receptive, and could feel heavy or moody during this cycle. Consider your ideals, your vision for your life and specific goals you have, and work to remedy any issues you find so that when Neptune turns direct again things don’t get worse. Steer clear of addictive behaviors and habits during this retrograde and stay away from people who drain your energy. Be wary of any psychic attractions and getting caught up in what you think may be a destined relationship.

Gemini & Gemini Rising
This week the planet of spirituality turns retrograde in Pisces; this happens on Friday morning in Pisces, your house of career and achievement. Neptune will turn retrograde and its energies will be more withdrawn. You’ll be more receptive and have an insightful perspective on things, with increased intuition and sensitivity. It’s important to take action and remedy any issues that you uncover so that when Neptune turns direct again things don’t worsen. While the planet of dreams and delusions is retrograde, try to avoid using drugs and falling into addictive behaviors or unhealthy coping mechanisms. Try to tune into your intuitive sense, but if you feel paranoid, you may be picking up on too much psychic debris. Keep your boundaries secure.

Cancer & Cancer Rising
This week’s main news is about Neptune, the planet of illusion and imagination, turning retrograde on Friday. Neptune is in Pisces, a sign he rules, and in your house of mental exploration. Neptune will function differently while retrograde in his sea cave, and you will feel more open psychically, more receptive and sensitive. You may have deep insights and see things differently during this time; take steps to heal or bring balance to any issues you see in your life now, or the issues can worsen when Neptune turns direct. You’ll be able to pick up the illusive and have a clearer perspective during the retrograde cycle, but guard against psychic overload, which Neptune brings. And steer clear of substance abuse and addictive behaviors now, as well as what seem to be “destined” love affairs or negative attractions.

Leo & Leo Rising
Neptune, ruler of dreams, turns retrograde on Friday morning in the sign of Pisces. Neptune actually rules Pisces and is at home there, but the retrograde cycle means that this energy will manifest differently. Neptune’s in your eighth house of sex, death and rebirth, which deals with themes of intimacy, merging, sharing wealth, sexual union and spiritual transformation. During the retrograde cycle, your insight and receptivity will increase as well as your psychic sensitivity. Try to avoid being around addictive personalities and protect yourself against psychic attack. This is also a time where you’re susceptible to negative attractions or to be swept up in a delusional story to escape reality.  

Virgo & Virgo Rising
On Friday of this week, Neptune turns retrograde in your house of partnership. Neptune is the planet of dreams and delusions, and during the retrograde cycle, which lasts through November, the energies of this planet will manifest differently. During this cycle you may feel more receptive and psychically sensitive, especially around energy vampires, so keep your boundaries strong. Heightened openness and sensitivity can be a double-edged sword if you’re not prepared for it or working with it consciously. Avoid using addictive substances and engaging in addictive behaviors now, and guard against psychic attack and energy overload. Problems that you pick up on should be addressed and dealt with to ensure that the issues don’t worsen when Neptune turns direct. Trust your intuition and expanded perspective and stick close to those you trust deeply.

Libra & Libra Rising
This week’s big news is that Neptune, the planet of spirituality, turns retrograde until November; Neptune is in Pisces and your house of analysis and well being. While the dreamy planet is retrograde, your perceptions can expand and your sensitivities may increase. This heightened receptivity can be powerful but also overwhelming depending on how you use it. If you feel paranoid or energetically overwhelmed, you may have psychic overload and will need to ground and refocus. Steer clear of psychic attractions and jumping into a relationship suddenly now because you feel it’s “destiny” or karma… and avoid using drugs and engaging in addictive patterns (such as co-dependency), as that can get out of control quickly. Try to do earthy practices that ground you regularly and listen closely to your inner voice and where it leads you.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
This week’s important news is about Neptune, the planet of spirituality, dreams and delusions. Neptune turns retrograde in Pisces on Friday in your house of creativity and sex and remain retrograde until November. During this cycle, your intuition and receptivity will increase, as will your ability to see far more in any given situation compared to when Neptune is direct. Rely on your inner vision and voice. Protect yourself against psychic attack and negative attractions, where you feel compelled or seduced by a feeling of “destiny” with someone you don’t truly know, especially with this planet in your house of seduction and romance. Guard against feeling paranoid, which may indicate a psychic overload or an energy vampire in your midst. Your perceptions and instinctual knowing will be strong now, so pay attention to any problems you perceive and address them or they could worsen when Neptune turns direct. Avoid turning to addictive substances and addictive patterns, as this planet rules addiction and delusion, and instead embrace creative and artistic outlets. Your own intuitive compass is your guide.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
Neptune, the planet of spirituality, turns retrograde on Friday in Pisces, your house of home and family. The way this planet manifests and displays its energy will shift during this cycle. You may find that your receptivity and psychic sensitivity increases, and you could even get a little bit of psychic overload depending on who you’re around. Try to avoid addictive substances and patterns now, as Neptune rules drugs, chemicals, anesthetics, delusions and addiction. Instead focus on the heightened perception it brings and make sure to work on the issues that are illuminated now, so that they don’t worsen when Neptune turns direct. Use your elevated sensitivity to increase closeness with important people in life and to tune into your inner vision and voice now and follow those.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
This week’s big news is that Neptune, the planet of spirituality, turns retrograde in Pisces, your house of communication. Neptune’s influence will be experienced differently while retrograde until November. This energy is usually experienced as more psychic than physical or material, which is your preferred interaction. During the retrograde cycle you may feel more receptive and able to pick up subtle things that were occluded while this planet was direct; make sure to address these issues you pick up on, as they could worsen when Neptune returns to direct motion. Your sensitivity and empathy will increase, and avoid interacting with energy drainers and negative attractions. Avoid stimulants and other addictive substances now, as Neptune rules chemicals and drugs, addiction and delusion. Instead tune into your heightened perspective and insight, listening to your inner intuitive voice and vision.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
The big news for this week is Neptune’s station, turning retrograde in Pisces on Friday in your money house. Neptune’s realm is spirituality and religion, dreams and delusions, institutions and prisons, mystery and secrets, and while retrograde its energies will manifest differently. During this cycle your empathic and psychic skills will increase, as will your receptivity and sensitivity. Avoid interacting with anyone who drains your energy or causes your energy-body to cringe, and resist seductive negative attractions and encounters that feel like “destiny.” Since Neptune rules addiction, escapism and criminal activity, it’s best to avoid drugs and addictive behaviors now as the effects will be amplified. Instead, get into the wake of this imaginative, otherworldly, psychic and spiritual vibe and use your powers for evolution and magical work.

Pisces & Pisces Rising
Your ruling planet Neptune is stationing and will turn retrograde on Friday in your sign. Neptune is at home in your sign and you’re at home with the Neptunian influence of mysticism, mystery and illusion. During the retrograde cycle, which lasts until November, you’ll find there’s a subtle shift in the tone of this planet’s influence. You could feel more romantic and vulnerable now, or perhaps if you’ve allowed yourself to be deluded in love or business, that facade will be removed and you’ll have to face reality. Pisces can have a natural tendency toward escapism and self-deception when under stress due to Neptune’s influence, whether that’s escaping through spiritualism, drugs or other mind-altering substances, or addictive behaviors. During the retrograde you may be more prone toward this escapism, or perhaps the false realities will be removed now if you’ve traveled far from the truth. Whatever arises, deal with it directly and let it be a step toward evolution. Keep your intuition clear and focus on your soul’s growth and heart healing.

You can clear old karma and repetitive thought loops of negativity now, get some rest, and hopefully heal a little through your contemplations.

We have a full moon in Sagittarius this week in your house of health, so the fitness routines or healthy eating you’ve been doing for the past six months should be paying off now. Reflect on your inherent perfection and continue to organize and de-stress your life.

There is a Sagittarius full moon on Friday morning in your house of home. Full moons increase lunacy and represent the end of a cycle.

Jupiter, the planet of abundance, turns direct in Libra, your money house; Jupiter has been retrograde here since February, causing you to feel a financial roadblock. You should sense an increase in stability in your career and finances now, as well as an improvement in your sense of self-worth.

Your ruling planet moves into Taurus, the other sign that Venus rules. This means that the planet of love will be in your intense house of intimacy and sex, and while Venus is here your connection with your partner can deepen or you could come into money through your partner, inheritance, or shared resources with a business partner.

Mercury, the planet of communication, moves to Gemini and your travel and education sector, so this would be the best time to take an adventurous trip, study philosophy or other profound subjects, or go back to school.

On Friday the planet of expansion, Jupiter, turns direct in Libra, your career house. Jupiter has been retrograde in this part of your chart since February, and now that the good luck planet is turning direct, your ambition, career achievement and material success will return. Re-establish your long term plans after Jupiter gains momentum.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Venus, the planet of love and money, moves into Taurus on Tuesday and to your domestic fourth house. This energy could manifest as you redecorating or remodeling your home, or your connections with family deepening, or your relationship with a mother figure or female role model will be of significant importance now… This is also the part of your chart all about self-care and what you value most in the world.

The mental planet Mercury also changes signs and moves to Gemini, your house of creative and sexual expression. Your mind and conversations will be about love and romance and making art during this transit.

Friday brings a full moon in Sagittarius, which is your house of alliances. Full moons bring completion and endings, so there could be some alliance or a friendships that come to a necessary close now, and tightening up your boundaries gives you even more freedom. This is also the house of your goals and dreams, so some of the intentions you set six months ago are blooming now in your life.

Jupiter, the good vibes planet, turns direct on Friday in your ninth. If education or travel plans were put on hold when Jupiter turned retrograde (back in February), now that energy will flow again. This is the house of a few things close to your heart like freedom, blunt talk, risk taking, religion, honesty, discovery and philosophy. So you should get that feeling of being back on track soon, Aquarius.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

The muse of love and money, Venus, moves to one of her homes Taurus on Tuesday, to your communication sector. Anything related to your ideas, technology, community, self-expression or family ties should bring good feelings or a financial boost. Take a trip to visit siblings now if you can.

Mercury, the communication planet, also changes signs and moves home to Gemini, your house of home. Your mind will be on your family and childhood memories, real estate or remodeling your home, or maybe roots and your maternal line.

On Friday we have a full moon in Sagittarius shining on your career. This full moon, like the others, will increase emotions and big feelings and can bring about a completion of a cycle. The intentions you set six months ago at the Sagittarius new moon have likely manifested now, so you could see your achievements recognized and your material success increase.

Also on Friday, Jupiter finally turns direct in Libra. The good luck planet has been retrograde since February in your intense house of intimacy, so this shift should bring clarity and understanding. The themes of this part of your chart include your shared wealth or joint resources, merging with another person either intimately or in a business partnership, surgery, sex, and spiritual transformation.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

On Monday we have a new moon in Gemini, your intense house of endings and understanding. This is a strange feeling since new moons usher in a new beginning, but with it in this part of your chart, your energy will be mostly drawn to the dark moon just before the new cycle. Allow yourself to purge and release old residue and karma in order to move into a new era. Then your new intentions will arise from a new sense of self-empowerment.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

For you the old school discipline planet is in your domestic house and the innovative planet is in your house of death and rebirth; you’re bound to have some changes and upgrades in your intimate connections and your finances. Be open to love, to a new business partner, to real estate deals or buying a home. And don’t forget to take some time to enjoy your life, Virgo.

Libra & Libra Rising

Monday’s new moon in Gemini shines on your house of honesty and freedom; set intentions that will grow for this new lunar cycle that assist your mental pursuits, higher education or deep studies, and long distance travels. Maybe you’ll be traveling for work or school, or to learn a new language. And truth-telling and blunt-talk are both favored with this moon, which is challenging for you usually; you’d much rather not ruffle feathers or have anyone mad at you. But use this new moon to make a new beginning with honesty, for yourself and others.

Although the exact hit was last week, you still may be feeling the energy of the trine between Saturn and Uranus. The planet of structure and stability is in your house of communication and technology and the rebellious planet of change is in your relationship sector. These two paradoxical forces could revolutionize your relationships, so keep paying attention to where the energy is moving.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

We have a new moon in airy Gemini on Monday, illuminating your powerful eighth house of death and rebirth. This could be a big new beginning for you, Scorpio. Mark the occasion by setting intentions that are your true desires about sex and intimacy, assets and sharing resources with another. Something will likely be initiated on Monday is this area and will manifest over the next six months (until the Gemini full moon), so be as clear as possible. You may decide to take a leap of love and move in with your partner, or to get hitched, or to get pregnant! Possibly a new business opportunity will arise with a new financial partner that will boost your current business. Even though you need more privacy and solitude during Gemini season, stay open to what’s coming to you.

The Saturn/Uranus trine that was exact last week is still influencing us and will all month. For you Saturn is in your money house and Uranus is in your health house; allow for a radical reframing of your past habits and patterns (that clearly do not work anymore) and get reinspired to get your health and mental state on track.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

Monday brings a new moon in airy Gemini and initiates a new lunar cycle. The intentions you set on Monday will take root and grow for the next six months. The themes of your new moon will be relationships. Both your business relationships as well as personal connections could undergo a shift; if you’ve been fighting with your partner or having creative differences with a financial partner, this could be a good time to smooth things over. If not already involved in one of these relationships, you could find yourself in love (or be introduced to the perfect financial partner) on Monday.

Saturn, the planet of discipline, formed an exact trine with Uranus, the planet of sudden change, last week but the energies of these two polar opposites harmonizing will be felt for the rest of the month. With Saturn in your first house and Uranus in your fifth, there may be something to do with artistic talents, fame, creative expression, love and sex that could become an important and lucrative project.

With your natural focus and dedication, committing to your health and fitness won’t be hard, so expect to get started on Monday with a new motivation.

Last week was an exact trine between your ruler Saturn and the rebel planet Uranus in Aries, and activates your houses of healing and of home. The impact will be felt all month long. It is likely that you’re undergoing some personal changes and shifts, with finances, career, family and roots or foundations; although it may appear chaotic on the surface, the rearranging is necessary. It will make sense once things get more settled.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

On Monday we have a new moon in Gemini in your seductive fifth house of art and sex; set intentions as you always do on new moons, but with the focus on invoking your deepest desires about love and romance, fame and joy, creativity and even fertility. Artistic endeavors and creative pursuits as well as entertainment and all matters of the heart are favored. This will be a big day of magic and manifesting, Aquarius. Dust off your emotions and get ready to feel. ;)

The powerful trine between your ruler Uranus and Saturn was exact last week but we’ll feel the energies all month long. Uranus is the outlaw of the zodiac, much like you, and is in your communication sector and Saturn, the task master, is in your friendship and connections house. There’s sure to be some big, unexpected news coming your way, and one if not a few of your radical, seemingly eccentric ideas (or inventions) has the potential to manifest into the relative realm! Saturn helps you get the work done, and you’re already awesome at the revolutionary insights, so merged together should provide a promising outcome.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

We have a Gemini new moon on Monday landing in your domestic sector. Set intentions as you always do for the new moon, with the themes of family, real estate, land ownership, foundations, and self-care for this particular moon. For you, this is the beginning of a new lunar cycle that could put family ties in the direct spotlight, especially with important women mentors and mothers or mother-figures in your life. It is also likely that you could relocate to a new destination, buy or sell a home or make some home improvements.

Last week we had a powerful exact trine between structured Saturn in your career house, and radical Uranus in your financial house. We’re still under the influence and will be for the rest of the month. The implications of this aspect for your life could be transformational. We had one exact trine in December and will have another coming up in November, so between now and then expect some monumental shifts. Continue to listen to your instincts and intuition throughout.

May 15-21 Horoscopes

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes for the week of Monday, 15 - Sunday, May 21
Taurus season is coming to a close and on Saturday afternoon the sun enters Gemini (1:31pm PDT) and we’ll begin a new solar cycle. Gemini is a mutable air sign ruled by Mercury, the Messenger, and duality is the main trait. Gemini’s symbol is the Twins and rules the lungs, shoulders, hands and arms. Gemini tends to be more mental than emotional, adapts easily, and can have a nervous temperament. Adaptability and communicativeness are trademark Gemini qualities that we can all practice and employ during this sun cycle.

Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, moves to Taurus on Monday evening, bringing a bit of groundedness to our minds and conversations for this week. And near the end of the week we have the second exact Saturn/Uranus trine that should be interesting and even potentially awesome for all involved. Saturn, as any Archer will tell you, is in Sagittarius (no picnic) and Uranus of course is in Aries. The expression of Saturn is one of sternness, restriction and structure while Uranus is the radical planet of change; this is the “old guard” meeting the rebellious and using the best energies and applications of both worlds to create (r)evolution.

The shift out of the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius is a bumpy ride… ground down and rise up.

Enjoy your week. xo, KK

Mercury moves into Taurus on Monday, to your house of sex and art, providing an energetic boost to your creative expression and artistic pursuits. You could fall in love or deepen a love connection during this time, and pregnancy is also included in this area of your chart.

Saturn, the planetary disciplinarian, forms a trine with Uranus, the planet of change this week, the second of three direct hits in this grouping. Saturn is your ruling planet and is in your intense house of karma and closure, and Uranus is in your domestic house of home, so with these two polar opposite forces harmonizing there could be a potential revelation or breakthrough that is personal and profound. Since you’re ruled by Saturn and have a natural sense of structure and order, this intimate aspect with Uranus, known as the rebel of the zodiac, could be disorienting at first but cathartic or evolutionary eventually.

The sun moves to Gemini over the weekend, shifting the focus to your health and well being. You’ll get reinspired about a health kick, clean eating, structured meal planning and workout routines, as well as reorganizing everything in an updated way to support any new lifestyle changes. This house also rules pets and your relationships with the people you work with.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Mercury the messenger moves to Taurus on Monday and into your fourth house of home. You’ll likely be thinking about your childhood, what constitutes home for you, and your ancestors in your own Aquarian way. There may be a message or information coming in from a mother figure or female role model.

Your rebellious ruling planet Uranus forms a trine with strict Saturn this week, the second of three exact hits of these two powerhouses in this particular bundle. There’ll be another one in November. And Saturn was considered your traditional ruler so these connections will impact you profoundly. With Uranus in your communication house and Saturn in your friendship house, and with these two being pretty polar opposites, you’ll get to employ your general expertise and enjoyment of all things paradoxical. This won’t phase you at all, Aq. Just do what you do best which is hold the paradox and merge the best of both old and new; honor tradition respectfully and be enlivened by innovation.

The new solar cycle begins on Saturday when the sun enters fellow air sign Gemini, your sexy fifth house; get ready for some sultry seductive fun. These four weeks will be perfect for passion and romance, expressing yourself creatively, enjoying pleasure and making art. This is also the house that rules fertility and pregnancy, so keep that in mind. ;)

Pisces & Pisces Rising

The messenger planet Mercury moves into earthy Taurus on Monday, to your house of technology. Mercury rules these things: travel, communication, technology… and in the house that rules these same things, you’re certain to have success and strength in these areas now. The Saturn/Uranus trine is the big news of the week; two powerful planets, at far ends of the spectrum, harmonize and bring into balance seemingly disparate ideas. The planet of discipline is in your career house and the planet of unexpected change is in your money house. This could be a potentially life changing transformation to hit your career and your finances, with the balance of the hard work you’ve put in (Saturn) and the innovative ideas you come up with (Uranus), so take a chance and trust your instincts under these influences. On Saturday the sun enters Gemini and your domestic sector, causing you to feel much more home-bound for the next four weeks. Make your nest even more homey and cozy, beautify your surroundings, work in your garden, spend time with those closest to you. This month can recharge your batteries and renew your spirit.

Mothers Day. When this day comes around it isn't all flowers and brunch and happy photos posted on social media for everyone…. 
for those who struggle to make it through this day, to be bombarded, like it or not, with the hallmark card-ification of this day…

for the motherless children….

for those that have a strained or nonexistent or volatile or painful relationship with a mother…
for those with mothers with mental illness, or addiction, those with scarred maternal line threads that stretch back through ages... 
for those whose mothers have left the earth plane and the mothers who have lost a child and those women who long to be mothers but have not been able to have children… and those mothers struggling to feel maternal, struggling with postpartum, feeling guilty for not feeling how they are "supposed to" ...
for those women who do not want children and are constantly questioned about why not and made to feel that they are less of a woman because of this choice…
for the moms that have to be mother and father, and the dads who are father and mother...

I see you, I feel you, I cry with you, I honor you.

Blessed be the children of the Great Mother of All.

May 8-14 Horoscopes

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes for the week of Monday, May 8 - Sunday, May 14  

May is underway and we take refuge in the prominent Taurus vibes- we need this for sanity and grounding. This week Mercury gains momentum in his direct motion and our mental fog is finally beginning to clear. With Uranus in the mix with Mercury (conjunct), Mercury’s direct station will illuminate for us quickly and more than usual, so stay tuned to your revelations. We have several aspects this week that will play out in a myriad of ways and could keep things interesting. The full moon in Scorpio on Wednesday will bring illumination for us all and the culmination of the lunar cycle that began six months ago. Another important shift that unfolds on Wednesday is the North Node shifting into Leo (until November 2018), which shifts the nodal axis from Virgo/Pisces to Leo/Aquarius. Mars in Gemini is active all month long and this week squares Neptune and harmonizes with Jupiter… Wednesday’s full moon is also Lunar Beltane (older observance date) and an appropriate time for magic and to “bless the fields.”

Enjoy your week.

A relationship with a romantic partner or lover, or with a business partner, could reach it  its finality, or you have clarity and decide to jump in. Some themes for this moon for you personally could include sex, intimacy, money that you inherit or is gifted to you, merging money and resources with another, death and rebirth.

Your ruling planet Mars is active this week, and in a trine with Jupiter, the planet that expands everything, you are certain to feel a new burst of optimism and energy for your goals, projects, ideas and plans.

Mercury is now direct in your sign and will form a harmonious alignment with Uranus, bringing an abundance of cosmic consciousness and big, visionary ideas.

This could be a decision-making time or you may receive some important news.

Mercury is now direct in Aries and harmonizing with with Uranus, and now there are likely multiple revelations that you’re coming to after the retrograde cycle… which unfolded in your house of closure and healing. Secrets or hidden agendas coming to the surface, processing past wounds, or getting closure with an ex that returned during the retrograde cycle are all possibilities with this conjunction.

We are nearing the end of your birthday month, and the sun leaves your sign for airier territory next weekend, so for this week keep the celebration going, and all the self-care and grounding vibes.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

We have a potent Scorpio full moon on Wednesday illuminating your house of heart and art. As with all full moons, expect heightened emotions and lunacy, and in this part of your chart the themes of this day could include sex, romance, seduction, creativity, artistic pursuits, fame, or pregnancy/fertility. The intentions you set at the new moon in Scorpio have been growing and manifesting. You could get some important news now that you’ve been expecting or have another sort of revelation or conclusion… this is your house of fertility and pregnancy as well, so this could be the decision or news…? You’ll have romance and love on your mind and want to open and share your heart and this could impact your relationship or magnetize a lover to you! Self-expression and art and creative endeavors will be strong now.

Continue to enjoy the Taurus season vibes in your friendship sector this week by socializing, networking, diving into social media to promote your work or projects or maybe you’ve started an online campaign or are active politically during this time, which is in total alignment with the sun in this technology and idealism house. This should be a positive week for you, Crab.

Leo & Leo Rising

On Lunar Beltane this Wednesday we have a Scorpio full moon shining on your domestic sector… and as with every full moon, there’ll be no shortage of lunacy and emotion. Some themes for this moon for you personally might be home and family, kids and women, relocation, and self-care. Full moons often bring new information to light or represent the end of a cycle, so if your house has been on the market or you’ve been trying to rent or buy or move into a new place, these things could manifest on or around this moon.

Another big deal on Wednesday is that the North Node shifts to your sign! The last time the North Node was in Leo was in 1998-2000 and will it be here until this November. Essentially, this node represents our purpose in life and has much to teach us. The Nodal Axis shifts to Leo/Aquarius, inviting deep consideration of enacting and balancing our personal power with our collective consciousness.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

On Lunar Beltane this Wednesday we’ll have a full moon in Scorpio illuminating your house of communication. You could receive news you’ve been waiting on or important information about a project or idea. Communication with family members, or travel for family or work could be part of this moon for you. Connect with your community, sign up for a course, write and communicate your truth clearly; your self-expression will be strong under this lunar influence.

Mercury, the planet of communication, is gaining momentum and although still in the shadow period, should bring illumination to some of the confusion the retrograde cycle brought up. With Mercury retrograde in your house of sex and intimacy, you likely ran into financial issues, maybe your own debt or with your business partner, but you can address any mishaps and make things better this week. There could have been disagreements or money trouble with your romantic partner as well, but you are working through that now. Continue to integrate any lessons learned or realizations remembered from the past few weeks.

Libra & Libra Rising

This Wednesday’s full moon in Scorpio shines on your second house of money, possessions and worth. You could receive exciting news about your career, income or financial prospects, and maybe approval for a project or a promotion.

Jupiter, retrograde in your sign, forms a trine with Mars in Gemini this week, expanding passion and goals and strong energy in your life; use this energy to propel your dreams forward, increase your passion and get things done.

Mercury is direct now, so there won’t be as many misunderstandings occurring in your partnerships. You should be able to tune into the positive vibes and optimism that you’re so capable of.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

On Lunar Beltane this Wednesday we have a full moon in your sign; it is the only one of the year, so soak it up. This full moon could bring illumination, insight, or a sense of completion of a particular cycle. You could receive some big news or have an important realization. If you’ve been wondering about or considering something, this moon could help bring clarity and answers. This particular cycle began six months ago with the intentions you set at your new moon in Scorpio during your birthday month. Think about what you’ve been working on and thinking about and longing for since your birthday, and acknowledge how far you’ve come already.

Mercury is now direct in Aries and harmonizing with with Uranus, and there could be some revelations or progress around your health or well being this week, especially if you’ve been trying to figure things out or have had mystery symptoms. As Mercury gains momentum even in this shadow period, you can begin to address these issues.  

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

This Wednesday’s Scorpio full moon beams down on your intense house of closure. As with all full moons there will be heightened emotions and lots of lunacy, but with the moon in this part of your chart, this energy will be more pronounced. Another aspect of full moons is the sense of completion of a particular cycle and they can often bring endings or transitions. Some possible themes for your full moon include clearing karma, sifting through sorrows and self-defeating behaviors, healing your wounds, and esoteric contemplations. Full moons often reveal what has been concealed and expose where exits or endings should occur. An unhealthy relationship may come to a much needed end, or you may have realizations about the essential purpose of life. Charge your crystals and let the moonbeams heal your soul aches.

While the sun is in Taurus and occupying your sixth house region, continue to focus on your physical and mental health and creating harmonizing relationships with the people you work with. Getting organized in your home and and head will pay off.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

On Lunar Beltane this Wednesday we’ll have a full moon in Scorpio illuminating your house of teamwork. This is the perfect time to connect with your community, gather your tribe, participate in social justice and political outreach, or clarify your goals and dreams.

With Mercury retrograde in your house of home, there were likely some misunderstandings and tense moments, but you can address any mishaps and make things better this week. Mother’s day is Sunday, and the fourth house rules mothers, important women in your life and children, so it could be a good time to smooth over any miscommunications. Continue to integrate any lessons learned or new insights from the past few weeks of retrograde.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

On Lunar Beltane this Wednesday we have a full moon in Scorpio illuminating your career and ambition sector. The energy of a full moon brings lunacy and heightened emotions of course, but it can also represent and ending, closure, or a transition. You could receive important news or have a big revelation under these moonbeams, particularly regarding your career. Or maybe you’ve come to a decision or conclusion about your work, your career, what you want to spend your time doing and the achievements you’d like to contribute. Changes could be unfolding currently or are on their way. Additional themes for this house include father figures, material success, expertise and long term plans.

There’s something big brewing for next week, with the Saturn/Uranus trine affecting you strongly and  boosting your propensity for intellectual independence as well as bringing some major evolution your way (again). Stay tuned and pay attention.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

Wednesday is Lunar Beltane and also a full moon in Scorpio. Your house of mental exploration and truth-telling will be highlighted this time, including themes of long distance travel, higher education and publishing or literary efforts. With the full moon in a sister water sign, there will be plenty of powerful emotions, dreaminess and lunacy, but also revelations. This is the time to run away on an adventure, to take a risk and welcome big opportunities into your life.

There will be some potentially big career news or an expansion of your bank account or treasure chest coming next week with the Saturn/Uranus trine; stay tuned for more details. For this week just continue to steep in the Taurus sun vibes and look for joy all around you.

May 1-7 Horoscopes

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes for the week of Monday, May 1- Sunday, May 7

The Wheel of the Year turns once again and we arrive at Beltane on Monday! This holy day actually begins on Sunday evening, May Eve. Equinox, which we celebrated mid-March, marked the beginning of Spring, a time when the Light and the Dark are harmonically balanced. Now at Beltane we tilt toward mid-spring. You can acknowledge this shift in nature most intimately by observing it first in yourself…

Get quiet, tune in and feel the pulse of life in your own breath and beating heart. Look around you and see the signs of life, the promise of spring fulfilled, the way the sunlight initiates the rising vines and opening blossoms as if into an ecstatic mystery.

I won’t go into the particular observances and traditions of Beltane here but will mention that  if it is not personally a holy day to you, you can still honor the seasonal shift with a simple celebration of your own.  Light a fire outside in your firepit, or inside in your cauldron, and consider your deepest desires, what ignites your soul, as well as how the expression of your shakti, sexuality and sensuality are honored or diminished. Make a vow of commitment to yourself and to radical self-acceptance.

Oh yeah, and Mercury stations on Wednesday. ;)

Enjoy your week. xo, KK

Aries & Aries Rising

Monday is May Day, Beltane, a turn in the great wheel that brings us closer to summer, closer to our deepest desires waiting to manifest. The news everyone’s been waiting for, Mercury turning direct, happens on Wednesday morning. Keep in mind that Wednesday is a station day and when the planet “changes direction” its energies are exaggerated, so don’t make any sudden moves yet. Mercury is in your sign and first house and has been creating disturbances in your ability to communicate to others without wanting to punch them. ;) Can you keep a cool head just a little bit longer, as the communication planet moves through the brief shadow period? Try. Then some of the aggro tension will lift and your interactions will feel more balanced. Soon you can finally use technology again without your head exploding and your travel arrangements will be unhindered.
Enjoy the good financial luck you seem to be having this Taurus season, and make the most of it.

On Saturday evening the Libra moon opposes Venus, creating a potential sensitive heart or free flow of emotion. Remember what is most important to you, Aries.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

Monday is May Day, Beltane, a turn in the wheel of the year that brings us closer to summer and reminds us of how important the simple pleasures of life are.

Station days are tricky, but every day after Wednesday as the communication planet moves out of his shadow period things will feel better. This Mercury rx period has been in your twelfth house of deep psychology, so it is likely that you’ve run into some degree of secrecy and hidden agendas, self-sabotage, unseen forces, or spiritual debt. The mental chaos or heavy brain fog you’ve dealt with during this cycle will begin to lift. You will emerge from this retrograde with deeper insight into other people’s as well as your own secrets and hidden motivations, your past patterns, and with some closure.

Continue the birth month celebrations, delighting your senses and spoiling yourself, Taurus! Your birthday season is a treat for us all if we attune to the sensual, earthy, Venusian vibes you’re always feeling.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

With Mercury rx in this part of your chart, it is possible that you dealt with receiving some constructive criticism at work, or had your project stalled or misunderstandings with colleagues, your boss or employees. In the next week you’ll be able to get back on track and smooth over some of those disputes.

Leo & Leo Rising

Monday is Beltane, a turn in the wheel of the year that brings us closer to summertime and reminds us of how important the simple pleasures of life are. Taurus season highlights your career and aspirations, and last week’s new moon in Taurus was surely the beginning of a new cycle of ambition and success for you, Leo. The intentions that you set for the new moon last week will continue growing for the next six months until the Taurus full moon.

Mercury is finally turning direct in Aries on Wednesday, in your ninth house of mental exploration. (Mercury started out retrograde in your career house, and there could have been unresolved conflict with a father figure or male mentor to deal with or work through). Station days are tricky, but every day after Wednesday, as the communication planet moves out of his shadow period, things will feel better. For this retrograde cycle Mercury surely created some mental chaos, mind fog, misunderstandings, travel problems and general miscommunication for you.

We will have a full moon in Scorpio next week, shining on your house of discovery and adventure; this is a great time for long distance travel and risk taking if you’re able to, as well as higher education and philosophical pursuits. If you can’t travel to have an adventure, you could take a new class or participate in deep studies of some sort.

April 24-30 Horoscopes :: New Moon Blessings ::

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes for the week of Monday, April 24 - Sunday, April 30

After last week’s bombardment of four aspects (that I wrote about in the very long horoscopes), in addition to the already very #retrogradeApril, I have some good news…. this week is the last week of April! And there’s nothing terrible to report. I’ll just go over the basics and it’s not overwhelming. We have a new moon in Taurus on Wednesday in the early morning hours, the big reset button for Taurus suns and a sweet new beginning for everyone else.  On Friday the love and money planet Venus moves to Aries, and can heat up your love life. It’s Taurus season and that means savoring and appreciating all of the sweet and simple pleasures in life. All of the other aspects that I’ve been writing about don’t just go away as we start a new week- all that stuff still applies. We continue to integrate. Everyone has their own deep work they’ve been engaged with, we’re all a little tired and our adrenals are likely depleted, but we can also reflect on the beauty that surrounds us. Invite joy in wherever you find it.

Enjoy your week. And New Moon blessings!

Aries & Aries Rising

Last week was pretty action-packed astrologically speaking. Obviously the aspects mentioned in last week’s horoscopes are still in play, and this week we have a new moon in Taurus and Venus shifting to your sign. The new moon, like the sun, is in your money house and can bring opportunity or good fortune your way. Set intentions at the new moon for inviting abundance and wealth into your life, as well as grounding and self-worth. These intentions will grow and evolve for the next six months. Taurus season can be a useful time for you ground down and get earthy- just tune into the Venus vibes. Money and beauty planet Venus rules Taurus… so Taurus season for you is about wealth and worth; certain aspects of your life have the potential to feel pretty heavenly if you can find the alignment. This would be a good time to focus on your career, lucrative sources of income, creating financial security, and clarifying what is most important to you in life.

On Friday the love and money planet heads into your sign and settles into your first house. This can spice up your love life as well as contribute to your material success. Venus rules over wealth, beauty, adornment, love, romance, connection, art, money… so for the next several weeks you can immerse yourself into creating or expanding in these areas.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

We had so many aspects and shifts last week that we’re still trying to see how we feel about it all this week. The sun has just moved into your sign, and on Wednesday morning we have a new moon in Taurus, making it your most powerful new moon of the year. You have the opportunity to set intentions for your life for the next six months and these goals or dreams will grow until the full moon in Taurus. Make a ritual on this moon during your solar return month and ground into what you want in life, what visions you want to renew, and the evolution that you are ready for.

Your ruling planet Venus moves into Aries on Friday morning, into your mystical house of healing.  Themes of this part of your chart include closure and endings, karma and compassion, hospitals and healing, sorrows and self-defeating behaviors. Fortify your boundaries if necessary, to prevent the emotional stress that comes from having people around you that siphon your energy or drain your joy. Invest your time and money in things that support your soul. Let go where appropriate and heal your heart.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

There was so much astrological action last week and we are still adjusting and integrating this week. Taurus season is underway, and on Wednesday we have a new moon in Taurus. New moons generally are for new beginnings, setting intentions for the next cycle, but with Taurus in your twelfth house, the focus for you will be more attuned to the dark moon, the cycle just before new moon. Let go, purge and clear out as much as you can, releasing old patterns of self-sabotage or defeat, negative self-talk. Bring hidden agendas and information to the surface so it can be released. Focus on healing and getting closure. Then at the new moon, set intentions for moving forward with more lightness and open-heartedness, free of the heavy burdens of self-undoing. This is all in support of your solar return month coming up next, Gemini.

On Friday Venus, planet of love and wealth, moves to fiery Aries and your house of alliances and collaboration. These next weeks you’ll find comfort in your friendships, and will likely join a new group or club or connect with new people. This part of your chart also rules your long term goals, your hopes, good luck and intellectual pleasures. Clarify your wishes for your life, your objectives, and begin to gather your tribe.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

You could still be processing all of last week’s astrological shifting, but don’t worry because there’s plenty of time for that. This week as you settle into the Taurus sun cycle, make some time to observe Wednesday morning’s new moon in Taurus. This continues to illuminate your house of friendships and connections. Set intentions at the new moon for this new lunar cycle that lasts until the full moon in Taurus in six months; themes could include collaboration, goals and objectives, harmony in relationships, idealism, teamwork, technology, or alliances. This is a good time to reach out to family or colleagues, join a new organization or club, and to think consciously about the people you surround yourself with, your chosen tribe. Make adjustments as needed, from a place of consideration and not hurt feelings.

Venus, planet of money and beauty, moves into Aries on Friday morning, to your career house. This could bring a financial boon, a promotion or raise, a new position of power, or possibly an office romance. Falling in love with your work again is also a possibility, if you haven’t felt inspired or productive lately. Your material success could increase now. Be on the lookout for some good investment or career advice from a father figure in your life that could be the information you’ve been waiting for.

This could be an important new beginning with your career or holding a position of power. Material success during this time will be a natural unfolding of your ambition and expertise.

On Friday Venus moves to Aries and into your ninth house of travel and education. The realm of Venus includes beauty, self-care, money, love, romance, pleasure and amusement. Make plans to travel or take a risk or go back to school. Philosophical pursuits and higher education are favored, as well as the study of languages. Enjoy an adventure or engage in some learning now.

The realm of Venus includes money, worth, love, romance, beauty, and pleasure, so in your house of sex, death and rebirth you could get a surge of sexy energy.

The themes of this house include romantic relationships and marriage, business partnerships, open enemies, unions or contracts and harmony. You’re likely already engaged in some sort of relationship work or consideration now.

The planet of love and relationships moves to Aries on Friday. Venus will now reside in your wellness-focused sixth house. This can feel like a renewed commitment to your own self-care, self-love, self-improvement… manifesting in such ways as ordering an organic CSA box to be delivered to you weekly, committing to your meditation practice, joining a fitness class, or working with a therapist. Organize your mind and your life, declutter both, and invite clarity to emerge. Eliminate people and situations that create emotional upsets, as these disturbances create illness. Put yourself first.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

Last week was a full week of astrological activity and we’re all still integrating and settling into the earthy vibes of the Taurus cycle.

April 17-23 Horoscopes :Taurus Season:

First off readers, how are you? We find ourselves in the middle of “Retrograde April” once again and looking around we seem to be in the midst of a giant shit show. And that makes any personal shit shows seem that much shittier. So I know that things could be feeling overwhelming or challenging now, and it could be stirring up some anxiety or depression (whichever you’re prone to). As always when I write or teach, my intention is to tell the truth, be informational and inspiring, and help you see the humor in the hardest parts…

With four planets retrograde for the month, everything will feel slow, time will drag, and the past is a major theme. But this week we have some dynamic shifts in the skies to break up the monotony of terribleness in the news and the deep work we’re all doing inside.

On Wednesday afternoon the sun leaves Aries and moves into Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac. Taurus sun cycle is a Venus-ruled, fixed earth sign and during Taurus season we all are more drawn to art and beauty and the sensual delights of embodiment. My favorite Taurus archetypal character is Ferdinand the Bull… if you haven’t read this old children’s story lately (or ever), I recommend that you kick of this Taurus sun cycle by reading it (The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf). Ferdinand is the quintessential Taurus. So we can start to align with those earthy, arty Taurus vibes now, stopping to smell the roses and appreciate the simple pleasures of life.

This week we also have Pluto turning retrograde in Capricorn (Venus turned direct but Pluto takes her place as the fourth retrograde planet in the skies this month). Pluto of course is the Lord of the Underworld himself, and as such gets a bad rap. But Pluto is just doing the Plutonian work that only he can do and while it may be uncomfortable, it is necessary.

Retrograde Mercury moves back into Aries from Taurus. Mercury moves faster than the outer planets and so has usually three retrograde cycles a year (sometimes four). We just have to adjust our pace; slow down in all areas.

On Friday Mars shifts to Gemini. Mars energy is action, ambition, aggression, confidence and willpower; it should give a little burst of inspiration or energy.

Enjoy your week.

Aries & Aries Rising

Your Aries season has come to an end and on Wednesday, the sun moves into earthy Taurus for a month; your focus will shift away from self-interest to money matters. This part of your chart is all about finances, your career and income, financial security, even self-worth, so begin to think about how to improve or sustain abundance and even how to create new lucrative income sources for yourself.

On Thursday Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, turns retrograde (in Capricorn), making that once again four planets retrograde this month. This affects your career and public standing; Pluto’s transformational powers will be on pause while retrograde, so there could be issues at work or with male bosses or father-figures. You may do some soul searching about your career or have a confrontation with your father or male boss.

Also on Thursday, retrograde Mercury backs into your sign for the rest of the cycle. That should be reason enough for you to keep your head down and mouth shut, but of course you remember there are three other retrograde planets in addition.

And lastly, Mars enters Gemini on Friday, bringing strength or power to your communication. Your self-expression will be strong and so will your powers of suggestion or persuasion. This part of your chart also deals with technology, travel and family ties. Mars brings action.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

Aries season is over and your solar return month begins! Happy solar return, Taurus. The sun moves to your sign on Wednesday afternoon and initiates your season. We all welcome Taurus season, as it encourages us to tune into the Taurean good vibes… we pamper ourselves a little more, we crave the arts, tasting the most delicious food and savoring all the sensual delights of embodiment. You are encouraged to put yourself first, indulge in self-interest and making your goals, hopes and wishes a priority. Even with four planets retrograde, this is your time to celebrate and enjoy life. Your new moon is coming up next week, the perfect time for a grand new beginning.

Pluto turns retrograde on Thursday in your house of mental pursuits. If you find yourself feeling that you could be having a minor existential crisis, that’s retrograde Pluto. Keep up with your deep studies or your adventurous travels but use extra discernment with the subjects and people you’re interacting with.

Mercury (retrograde) moves on Thursday also, to Aries, your house of finality. During the retrograde cycle you may find yourself immersed in misunderstandings, a betrayal, or hidden agendas. Trust your intuition about your boundaries and who to trust. Watch your own back.

And Mars moves to Gemini on Friday, to your money house. Your finances or investments could get an energy boost, or maybe you truly get into the self-care/self-worth vibes and treat yourself to a makeover or spa day or new crystal….  It is your birthday month after all.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

Goodbye to Aries season. We welcome a Taurus sun cycle on Wednesday and since your solar return month comes us next, that puts you in the twelfth house, Gemini. Twelfth house themes include but are not limited to: endings and goodbyes, rest and relaxation, purging and clearing, processing the past, and looking at your self-defeating or non-beneficial habits. With four planets retrograde during this cycle, you should have no trouble tuning in, being more introspective, and doing some deep work on yourself. Then when Gemini cycle begins you will feel wiser, clearer, more integrated.

Pluto turns retrograde this week in Capricorn, your intense eighth house. This is right in line with the twelfth house reflection and purging; you may encounter a confrontation with a person from your past or your issues from the past. This part of your chart is all about sex, intimacy, merging with another, privacy, shared wealth, death, rebirth. This is not a great time to enter into or begin a deep relationship or a financial partnership for you.

Mercury, your ruler, moves into Aries during his retrograde cycle and that affects your friendships and goals and technology… there will likely be more disagreements within the groups or clubs you belong to, and your objectives could feel cloudy for a while. Old friends from your past could resurface, and you would likely benefit from exploring or revisiting connections from this time.

Mars moves to your sign on Friday, giving you a little boost of confidence, a burst of energy, and hopefully assistance in moving forward with something important to you now. Mars in your first house can be a powerful ally, like a cosmic bodyguard, but yeah it could increase aggression too. Use your power for good.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

We begin the Taurus sun cycle on Wednesday, putting attention on your friendships and alliances. This retrograde heaviness can take a toll, so use this time to reach out to good friends and hang out and have fun. This part of your chart is all about technology and teamwork, long term goals, groups, membership, and hopes and dreams. Use your resources to improve and harmonize all of your connections.

Pluto turns retrograde in Capricorn, your house of relationships. This could be an interesting time for you if you’re up for the challenge and willing to do the work. Someone from your past will likely make an appearance now, either an ex lover or business associate, and there is likely karma there. This retrograde cycle (which lasts until September) encourages you to look at old wounds, unconscious patterns, and general bad habits that cause trauma and drama in your connections.

Retrograde Mercury moves to Aries and your career sector this week; this likely won’t be the best time for a big launch or presentation but rather a time to revisit previous ideas, look back at what has worked, review and tweak. There could be miscommunication or issues with with a male boss or father figure.

Mars enters Gemini and your house of endings and closure on Friday. Mars energizes and activates, and sometimes instigates, and in your house of sorrows this could feel like unearthing buried rage, uncovering hidden agendas and confronting your own self-sabotage. So… good luck there.

Leo & Leo Rising

Aries is out, Taurus is in this week. The sun moves into earthy Taurus on Wednesday and your career house, where you should feel more inspired at work and in the community, even advancing your position or increasing your salary. Material success can certainly increase during this month. There will likely be an issue with or valuable connection with a male boss of father figure, so pay attention to any advice or mentoring coming your way this month. Use this time to focus on work, the work you do for others, your talents and achievements, and increasing your expertise in whatever your chosen field is.

Pluto turns retrograde in Capricorn this week, in your health house. From now until the end of September, you should address any and all health concerns, get all of your check-ups, and eliminate emotional stress and preventable tension from your life.

Mercury is still retrograde but will move to Aries this week, into your ninth house of mental exploration. There will be the usual mishaps and misunderstandings, with the concentration of that miscommunication being at work. Double check all work-related emails and texts before sending, all proposals before sending, all contracts before signing.

Mars moves to Gemini on Friday, putting energy into your friendships and alliances. Your goals and objectives, sense of idealism, and good luck could get a boost as well so keep your eyes open for little miracles.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

This week we leave Aries and enter the Taurus solar cycle, as the sun move to the earth sign on Wednesday. This shifts focus for you to mental pursuits, travel and studies. Even if you don’t take a trip now, this is the time to make plans and arrangements. You could enroll in a course or go back to school, study a language, publish a piece you’ve written, or just take more risks in the realm of mental exploration or travel.

Pluto turns retrograde in Capricorn on Thursday, in your artistic fifth house. Under these circumstances, from now until September, you may feel pulled into the underworld with Pluto and made to confront old patterns in your sexual and love relationships. You may be prone to feelings of jealousy or possessiveness during this time, an ex could reappear on the scene, and you could process unfinished business when it comes to your creativity or sexuality. This will be deep work on you time, Virgo. Oh, and this is also your fertility/pregnancy house, so…

Mercury is still retrograde and will head into Aries on Thursday, to your intense eighth house. With this arrangement, I will caution you to pay extra Virgoan attention to the texts and emails you send now, especially to your lover or partner, and guard against identity theft and credit card fraud, etc.

Mars moves to Gemini and your career house this week, which will bring some feistiness and and action your way. Expect an increase in your ambition, aspiration and even attainment. Grow your material success and refine your long-term goals.

Libra & Libra Rising

The sun moves into earthy and grounded Taurus on Wednesday, initiating a new solar cycle. This month your focus will turn to themes of sex and intimacy, privacy and boundaries, death and rebirth. There will be some work or awareness around shared wealth and joint resources, and maybe even an inheritance.

Just after your ruler Venus turns direct we have another planet entering a retrograde cycle; Pluto turns retrograde on Thursday in your house of home. For this retrograde cycle, which lasts through September, you will feel pulled to do deep inner work and uncovering… You may have questions about your ancestry or history, or about your mother or grandmother. You could do soul searching about relocation or the way you’re living. Self-care will be necessary, and if you tune into the mystical aspects of these themes, this could be a powerful retrograde for you.

Speaking of retrograde, Mercury still is. The communication planet will reverse into Aries this week, your house of relationships, so if Venus retrograde did not convince you to rethink and reform all of your relationships, this one will. Your work and business partnerships will also be affected, as well as your friendships and more intimate connections.

And finally this week, Mars shifts to Gemini and to your travel and study sector; if you’ve been trying to make a decision or get a confirmation about anything related to education, philosophy, long distance travel, relocation for work or studies, or a literary effort, expect an answer or clarity.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

We start a new solar cycle this week, with the sun moving out of Aries and into Taurus. This shifts your focus for the next month to relationships, partnerships and marriage; themes will be related to companionship and harmony-seeking. If you’re looking for love, this could be your month. Single Scorpios could find someone special and irresistible now, and partnered Scorpios may dive deep into couple’s therapy or make a commitment. Marriage is a possibility, as is the creation of a new business partnership. We still have four planets retrograde, so contemplation, consideration and planning are favored over taking big risks under these circumstances. Consider with whom you work well.

Your ruling planet Pluto is at it again, turning retrograde this week like he does every year. With Pluto in Capricorn, your communication house is affected; from now until September when Pluto stations, you could encounter hidden agendas or power struggles, particularly with siblings, extended family, or in online communities or social media.

Mercury is still retrograde and enters Aries this week, moving to your sixth house of health. This is the time to continue adulting with all of your Saturn duties… make a doctor or dentist appointment, organize your desk and closets, and eliminate unnecessary stress because you know it contributes to illness. Stress makes you sick. Keep a low profile with the people you work with to curb any emotional upsets that could unfold during this time. This is also the house that rules your pets, so it could be time for kitty’s check-up.

Mars moves to Gemini on Friday which is your area of shared intimacy and joint resources. Your sex life could get a boost, your could receive an inheritance or portion of shared wealth.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

We are moving out of fellow fire sign Aries sun cycle into Taurus season this week, and that puts the spotlight on your health and daily routines. Administrative duties, organization, analysis, purification, wellness, and pets fall under this canopy; let this new influx of earthy energy ground you, Sagittarius. Focus on rest, self-care, and purging negativity and mental stress from your life.

The lord of the underworld, Pluto, turns retrograde this week in Capricorn, your money house. Remember that all retrogrades bring the past back, or issues/wounds from the past, so your unconscious beliefs about money, feelings of scarcity and worth will arise. This is the time to smudge all the things! Clear your head and your space. Try to ground and stabilize now, even reconsidering any old ideas for new sources of income.

Mercury is still retrograde and moves back into Aries this week, your sexy fifth house. The usual misunderstandings will unfold and you may not see eye to eye with your lover or creative partner. People and issues from your past will continue to show up.

Pluto has been in your sign since 2008 transforming things for you and on Thursday will turn retrograde, so if you feel an existential crisis coming on, don’t despair. Be spacious with yourself. Pluto’s realm is the underworld, our deep psyche, so soul searching is on the schedule for you for now.

The communication planet Mercury is still retrograde and moves to Aries, your domestic house, on Thursday. The usual mishaps and miscommunications will occur, technology will be weird, and there could be some delays with remodeling or upgrading your home. There could be a misunderstanding or important connection with a mother-figure during the end of this retrograde cycle.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Aries season comes to an end and on Wednesday we welcome Taurus sun cycle. This shifts your main energy and focus to home and family for the next four weeks.

You could consider relocating or redecorating your space or even growing your family, as this house rules women and children and pregnancy.

Pluto turns retrograde in Capricorn on Thursday in your house of sorrows and secrets… with intense Pluto here you will be able to confront old wounds and triggers, release karma, unearth hidden agendas, get closure and healing.

For this retrograde cycle, pay attention to the ways emotional stress accumulates and creates or contributes to chronic health conditions. Get enough rest and focus on healing and closure. Your dreams could be more prophetic and meditations deeper during the retrograde cycle.

Mercury is still retrograde and moves to your third house stirring up the typical miscommunications and crossed wires that we’ve come to expect, and in your communication and technology house, well… you’ll just have to wait to buy that phone or laptop.

Action planet Mars moves to Gemini this week and will infuse your fifth house with extra passion and sexiness. Mars rules sex drive and this part of your chart is about sex and seduction, love and romance, creativity and fertility.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

Potential themes for this cycle include family ties, your relationships with siblings, technology, ideas and community. You’ll likely be doing a lot of traveling for work or school this month. Make time to get grounded with the earthy Taurus vibes.

Mars, the planet of action, moves to Gemini on Friday and into your domestic house. Your spring cleaning, remodeling or redecorating projects will get a burst of new energy. This part of your chart is about family, foundations, women and children, and more mystically-speaking, about what you keep private and protected from the rest of the world.

April 10-16 Horoscopes ::Retrograde April::

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes for the week of Monday, April 10 - Sunday, April 16

Retrograde April

We begin the week with a full moon in Libra on Monday night (11:08pm PDT). The usual lunacy will abound, and there could be some interesting experiences with Pluto squaring this full moon. Libra is ruled by Venus and is the sign of relating, but Venus is retrograde of course and possibly pushing you to your relationship limits. There could be a breakthrough with this moon if you’re able to integrate the relationship work you’ve been doing. Venus turns direct finally on Saturday in Pisces and and most love and financial issues should begin to be smoothed out next week.

Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn are all still retrograde, and taking Venus’ place will be Pluto next Thursday, so we have four planets retrograde for the entirety of the month. The pace of life may feel slower, or maybe you feel as though you’re moving slow motion through life. The past as a general theme is prominent during this time. Our efforts are best spent on more reflective or contemplative endeavors and we may benefit from more solitude and self-care now than usual.

Enjoy your week.

Aries & Aries Rising

We are coming close to the end of your reign, Aries, and soon it’ll be Taurus season. This week and part of next will still belong to you so use this power wisely. We have a full moon in Libra on Monday night that squares Pluto. This moon illuminates your relationship house, bringing a revelation, completion, ending or activation. Pluto’s involvement implies a power struggle of some kind. This moon could bring a resolution to an issue or clarity about commitment.

Venus turns direct on Saturday, and any relationship or money wounds you’ve been clearing or self-defeating patterns you’ve released can be put behind you now. You can emerge from the retrograde cycle now with a deeper insight and a plan.

The sun shifts to Taurus next week and your attention will turn toward money matters. There are now only three planets retrograde… until next week when Pluto stations.

Try to have some fun this week - go see comedy or watch an old movie that you love.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

Only a week and a few days left of Aries season and then the sun moves to your sign and  your solar return month gets kicked off! Next Wednesday afternoon Taurus season begins.

This week we have a Libra full moon on Monday night squaring Pluto. The moon will shine on your health house, and with the interaction with Pluto there could be a power struggle with someone you work with or you may receive some health news or results you’ve been waiting on. Your health and well being, pets, co-workers, organization or analysis could be possible full moon themes for you this time. If you’ve been dragging your feet about your health, consider this moon a kickstart to make your wellness a priority.

Venus, your ruling planet, turns direct over the weekend in your eleventh house of alliances. There have likely been some misunderstandings amongst your fellow group members or in your circle of friends. Hopefully the retrograde shed some insight on old wounds or hurt feelings and enabled you to grow or understand in some way. Hang in there- your birthday month is coming soon.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

We’re near the end of Aries season and preparing to move into Taurus. This week we have a full moon in Libra on Monday night, which illuminates your house of sex and creativity. The moon connects with Pluto, so there could be a bit of a power struggle involving a lover or creative partner. Full moons often bring big emotions, news, or a completion of some sort, and the themes of this part of your chart include pleasure and joy, fame, love and romance, seduction, art and creativity, even fertility. You could have a revelation about your relationship under this influence.

The planet of love and money, Venus, turns direct this weekend in your career sector. There were likely a few misunderstandings or feuds with co-workers or with a male boss. You could have experienced some money issues or problems with your income or material success. As Venus gains momentum and begins to feel like herself again the work you did during the retrograde cycle will be helpful for you moving forward.

With four planets retrograde for the entirety of April, including your ruler Mercury, this isn’t the best month for extreme socializing or obsessive mental and verbal attempts; just try to feel more and discuss less.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

Aries season is winding down as we get ready to approach Taurus season next week. This Monday night we have a Libra full moon shining on your domestic house. Full moons are full of emotion and energy and bring news, insight or completion. You could get info or news about a mother figure or mentor or a mother-type has an answer or insight for you. You could honor the full moon by making a spa day and nesting at home. Since the moon forms a square with the Lord of the Underworld Pluto, you may run into a power play or control issues with a family member or mother figure.

Venus, the love and money planet, turns direct over the weekend in Pisces, you house of exploration. I hope this retrograde cycle brought you deep insights. Of course your travel plans and interpersonal interactions may have been strained that whole time, but energy will begin to move forward as Venus gains momentum and focus.

Leo & Leo Rising

On Monday night we have a Venus-ruled full moon in Libra illuminating your family connections and communications. Full moons bring heightened emotions, a sense of fullness or completion, endings or revelations. You could get news or information that you’ve needed or maybe a course that you’re taking ends now. This full moon makes a tense connection with  Pluto, so you could run into a power play or control issues. The themes to watch for could include communication, family ties, self-expression, travel, education, technology or community.

Venus turns direct in Pisces over the weekend. This was probably a rough one for you, Leo, since much of the retrograde was in your house of intimacy and legacies, with people or wounds from your past showing up. I hope you at least gained insight and understanding from the challenges you worked through. Things should begin to feel better as Venus gains momentum.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

We are in the final days of the Aries sun cycle and next week Taurus season begins; enjoy the focus on your eighth house themes of sex and love and art. This week we have a full moon in Libra on Monday lighting up your money house. The moon squares Pluto, bringing power struggles and control issues into the mix. You could get some important news or information, experience an ending of some kind, or receive a revelation. There will be the usual lunacy and heightened emotions that accompany all full moons, plus insight or news about an investment or your income, and control issues. Keep your discernment and patience through it all.

Venus, love planet, will turn direct finally this weekend in your relationship house. I assume you’ve had your share of run-ins, difficulties and arguments with people, including your spouse or partner, friend, or a business associate. As the love and money planet gains momentum and feels more like herself any misunderstandings should be able to be smoothed. If any people or exes from your past came back during this cycle, make sure you’ve been clear and gotten closure if that was necessary.

Libra & Libra Rising

The Aries sun cycle will soon come to an end and we’ll welcome Taurus sun next week. This week the focus is on the full moon in your sign on Monday night. This will be your personal full moon of the year, Libra, so make the most of the momentum. Watch out for control issues to arise, both in yourself and in others, or a power play of some kind, since the moon squares intense Pluto. You could receive important news or have a revelation or insight, or something will come to completion- a project, a situation, an era. Let this moon illuminate your heart’s desires and your clear vision.

On Saturday Venus turns direct finally in your house of service and health. If you’ve had some misunderstandings with coworkers or body image issues arise during this time, things can be remedied now. As Venus emerges from her underworld stay you can commit to beautifying your space, make your health and healing process a priority, and focus on your well being in all areas. If you have put off any beauty or adornment procedures during the retrograde, you’re in the clear now to color your hair, get a spa treatment or the special new tattoo you’ve been waiting to get...

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

Taurus season begins next week and your focus will shift to relationships for the next solar cycle. This week’s focus will be on the full moon and Venus stationing.

We have a full moon in Libra on Monday night in your house of endings and self-undoing… so yeah that doesn’t sound like fun, but you can make the most of it because your old wounds, past betrayals and need for vengeance can be processed and released. This is the perfect time to put your past behind you and let go and move forward. You may experience a cycle coming to an end, or have karma to clear or hidden agendas to uncover, or sorrows that are lifted for this moon. There is a Pluto/moon square that could bring power struggles or control issues into the mix.

On Saturday Venus finally turns direct in Pisces, your sexy fifth house of heart and art. It’s likely that this retrograde cycle brought up old feelings, memories, nostalgia and past lovers or partners. As the love planet gains momentum you should feel a surge of romantic feelings, experience creative outbursts, begin or deepen a relationship, or get some recognition and praise for your artistic endeavors. This is also the house of fertility and pregnancy so keep that in mind.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

We’re almost through Aries season, and the sun will move into Taurus next week. This week’s focus is on the Libra full moon and Venus stationing.

On Monday the full moon is in Libra, your eleventh house of friends and dreams. This moon forms an intense alignment with Pluto, planet of death and rebirth, so there could be some power struggles, undermining or control issues that you encounter with a friend or in a group or association you’re part of. This house rules memberships, alliances, groups, idealism, goals and objectives and good luck. The full moon could bring a revelation, some big news, an ending or closure.

Venus turns direct on Saturday, so you should feel some relief to your home and family life if there has been conflict there. This area is all about home, domestic issues, women and children, roots and femininity, family, real estate, and security. That’s a lot of ground to cover, so you should emerge from this retrograde cycle with plenty of insight. Now you can get started on your remodeling, redecorating, beautifying or adorning. Permission to buy new bedding or dishes or art or plants or crystals…. ;)

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

Aries season ends soon, when the sun enters Taurus next week and your energy will turn to themes of sex and love and art. This week we have a full moon in Libra on Monday night illuminating your career sector. The moon squares Pluto, so there could be some drama in the form of a power play or control issues at work. Full moon vibes bring about extreme emotions, news and information, and an ending or completion. An important project or presentation for work could be due now, you could reach a decision about your professional life, or maybe you feel the fullness of your ambition and success in a new way.

Over the weekend Venus turns direct in Pisces, your communication house. The love and money planet retrograde here surely caused some misunderstandings with your relatives or mishaps with travels for work or school. As Venus gains momentum you should feel more connected to your relatives or community, more inspired in your ideas, more self-expressive.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

We will soon shift from Aries season to Taurus season, but for now your communication and self-expressive sector is still lit up. We have the only full moon in Libra of the year on Monday evening, shining on your house of expansion and education. Pluto squares this moon, bringing in a power struggle or revealing obscured information (Pluto’s in your house of sorrows and secrets). Themes associated with the ninth house include long distance travel, freedom and risk taking, religion and philosophy, higher education and mental pursuits; there could be revelations or a sense of completion in one or several of these areas.

Venus turns direct on Saturday. During the retrograde cycle, Venus could have caused some tension in your romantic relationships or your finances.... The planet of love will gain momentum and begin to help you create more abundance, more money, more security and more harmony. Make sure self-love and self-worth are abundant in your life as well, Aquarius.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

Aries season soon comes to an end and we will welcome the earthy Taurus sun cycle next week. This week our attention is on the only Libra full moon of the year and the love planet moving forward.

Monday’s full moon is in your intense house of transformation. Themes for this part of your chart include sex, death, rebirth, intimacy, shared wealth and inheritance. And with an intense square to Pluto thrown in, there could be a power struggle or hidden information surfacing. You could have a revelation or get important news, see a project reach completion, make a decision about joining resources with someone…

Venus turns direct in your first house on Saturday. Venus rules over money matters, love and beauty, so while retrograde you probably wanted to get a makeover or throw out your entire closet and buy all new clothes. You had to deal with the effects of your overspending or lost a source of income. Spring cleaning and donating everything you no longer wanted would have been perfect therapy. As Venus gets comfortable being direct, you should feel your self-confidence and sense of self-sovereignty return. Get ready to make some bold moves in love and money, Pisces, just not until after #retrogradeApril is over.

April 3-9 Horoscopes :: Retrograde Station Week

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes for the week of Monday, April 3 - Sunday, April 9  

Retrograde Alert! This week we’re right in between the Aries new moon (last Monday) and the Libra full moon (next Monday), so our intentions grow and spring fever increases. Aries season is the beginning of the astrological year, so as the sun’s light strengthens so will our inspiration, will power, aspiration and ambition, and confidence. And in the midst of all this burgeoning and stirring of springtime, we hit a bit of a temporary roadblock with two planets turning retrograde this week: Saturn and Mercury. These two join Venus and Jupiter in the retrograde underworld. That makes four planets retrograde this month. If that doesn’t bring a tingle to your spine or a wave of cautious consideration to your thoughts, don’t know what would. But, we continue to navigate the celestial landscape because that is what we must do.

Saturn is the stern task master of the zodiac, the disciplinarian, and whenever he shows up we have lessons to learn and hard work to do. This planet’s archetypal influence seems to cement, to crystalize an opinion, belief or vision. Saturn first entered Sagittarius in December 2014, moving out of Scorpio, and will leave Sagittarius on December 19, 2017. While Saturn is retrograde until August, you may have some hard lessons to learn or growing up to do or responsibility to take.

Mercury turns retrograde much more frequently, so you’re used to these cycles by now. On Sunday the mental planet turns retrograde in Taurus and will affect our communication and thought processes. Since we started the new year this year with Mercury retrograde for the first eight days of January this will officially be the second sleep cycle of 2017. This cycle would be a good time to put energies into gardening and the arts.

Enjoy your week.

Aries & Aries Rising

On Wednesday, Saturn turns retrograde in Sagittarius, your house of mental exploration. Saturn’s presence is about adulthood, discipline, karma, boundaries, responsibility, hard work, time, self-control, patience, maturity, realism, diligence. While retrograde, planets tend to become more introverted and their energies are felt internally more than externally in our lives. Saturn in your third house could affect your self-expression, family ties, technology or community.

The second planet this week to turn retrograde is Mercury on Sunday. Mercury will be retrograde in Taurus and your money house for a few weeks. Be careful with spending and investing now. Try to avoid making big purchases and instead focus on saving and creating some financial stability by looking into sources of income you’ve been considering, or lucrative projects. Maybe you’ll reconsider your career during this time or simply make some refinements to become more successful.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

On Wednesday, Saturn turns retrograde in Sagittarius, your house of death and rebirth. This could get interesting for you, Taurus. Saturn themes include growing up, responsibility, boundaries, work, and karma to name a few. And themes associated with this part of your chart involve sex, death, spiritual transformation, assets, shared wealth or resources, inheritance and occult or esoteric studies. There must be some lesson or work to do involving some combination of these. Good stuff! Good luck…

Then Mercury turns retrograde in your sign and first house on Sunday. This retrograde cycle may be best spent in semi-solitude, with plenty of quiet time, in consideration of what you want to channel in your mind’s eye, what thoughts you want to hold, what conversations you want to have (in a more esoteric or spiritual sense, not just literally)... If you happen to run into misunderstandings during these next few weeks, try not to take it personally. Be sweet to yourself this month.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

Saturn, the disciplinarian, turns retrograde in Sagittarius on Wednesday, in your relationship house. Saturn’s realm includes themes of karma, hard work, adulthood, life lessons, commitment. Those don’t sound fun at first, but remember that they are absolutely necessary in order to have the blessings of Jupiter for example. There could be some karma to work out, some lesson, some work to do, some realization to come to about a relationship or partnership, a union of some kind, or a contract.

Mercury turns retrograde in Taurus on Sunday. The mental planet deals with thoughts, memories, plans, communication, technology, and in your house of rest and renewal, you are invited strongly to be mostly quiet during this retrograde cycle. Use this time for consideration and contemplation rather than problem solving and communication. Get some much needed rest either mentally, physically or emotionally. This part of your chart is about endings, closure, release, sorrow, self-defeating patterns, and relaxation. Give your brain and your socializing tendencies a little break for now.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

Saturn, the planet of discipline, turns retrograde in Sagittarius on Wednesday in your house of wellness. Saturn’s realm of rulership includes themes of karma, adulthood, work, discipline, life lessons, commitment and self-sufficiency. While retrograde in this part of your chart you could have a health crisis arise, or begin to unravel a medical mystery, or undergo a process of purification and detoxification…  the sixth house is about health, service, your relationships with people you work with, your constitution, diseases, analysis, clarity, and even pets.

Mercury turns retrograde in Taurus on Sunday in your friendship house. You could run into the usual Mercury rx mishaps, but it will affect your communication with friends, in groups you belong to or political organizations, your memberships and alliances, and could stall your goals and objectives. Take all the necessary precautions and proceed with caution as usual. Just be spacious in your interactions and try hard not to take anything personally, Crab.

Leo & Leo Rising

The stern task master of the zodiac, Saturn, turns retrograde this week in Sagittarius, which is your sex and art house. This part of your chart is all about creativity, artistic pursuits, play, sex, pleasure, seduction, passion, romance, love, fertility, pregnancy, fame, new undertakings, and your heart. Saturn’s realm is discipline, time, karma, work, responsibility, self-sufficiency, commitment… so while retrograde you could feel some pressure to figure out what’s not working and get your shit together. This work will likely involve one or multiple themes listed above; something is needed to be adjusted, boundaries in place, hard work done, a commitment made, etc. Use this time to consider wisely.

Also this week Mercury turns retrograde in Taurus, your career house. Take the necessary retrograde precautions in your communications and with technology. Hold off on major announcements, big projects or presentations at work, making public statements. There could be a misunderstanding with a father figure or male mentor. You’ll need to be slow, methodical and attentive with all professional or community endeavors. You could feel like your material success diminishes or your ambition wanes during this time.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

Saturn, Father Time, turns retrograde in Sagittarius on Wednesday in your domestic sector. All of Saturn’s themes involve hard work, discipline, commitment, karma, adulthood and responsibility. Fun. And in your house of home, retrograde Saturn could stir up some work for you at home, with family, with remodeling or relocation, and in your very support roots and foundation metaphorically.

On Sunday Mercury, muse of the mind, turns retrograde in Taurus, your house of exploration and expansion. Travel plans and arrangements should be postponed or reviewed extensively. Expect delays. This house is all about mental pursuits, travel, study, philosophy, freedom… and with the communication planet retrograde here, your thoughts may get cloudy, your travels delayed, your literary pursuits stalled, and you could get yourself into trouble with blunt talk and telling the truth right now, so consider deeply before all communications and correspondences.

Libra & Libra Rising

Saturn, the planet of discipline and effort, turns retrograde in Sagittarius and your third house on Wednesday. Saturn’s all about rules and regulations, adulthood, commitment, boundaries, hard work, responsibility. These are necessary components of a functioning grown up in the world, but Saturn has a harsh way of delivering lessons sometimes. In this part of your chart you could run into issues with communication, self-expression, your family and even travels and technology. Maybe you need to reassert clear boundaries with certain people, or to address a bunch of red tape in order to move forward with ideas, travels, literary things, family members… The work is necessary and will be worth the effort in the long run.

Mercury, the planet of the mind, turns retrograde on Sunday in Taurus, your house of intimacy and privacy. You could run into communication issues with your lover or closest intimates. There could also be a privacy issue or boundary crossed. This is the house of sex, death and rebirth, so strong energies could be stirred up.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

The good news is that Saturn is no longer in your sign. After your very own challenging Saturn stint, you should just be glad he has moved on. The planet of restriction turns retrograde in Sagittarius this week in your money house, giving you an opportunity to do some work and learn some lessons around boundaries, career, stability, your income, security and self-worth. That doesn’t sound fun but it is necessary. And at least Saturn isn’t in your first house anymore…

Mercury turns retrograde on Sunday in Taurus, your seventh house of relationships. Yeah, so that’s not the best news to get but you can work with it; seventh house issues include themes of partnership, marriage, platonic relationships, harmony, divorce, legal unions, open enemies, shared goals. You’ll just have to proceed with caution and be spacious with any miscommunications or hurt feelings. If you’re partnered with an intimate, try to disclose that this Mercury rx period is affecting your relationship this time around and try to work out a communication plan for the retrograde cycle to minimize arguments and misunderstandings.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

Saturn, the planet of responsibility, turns retrograde on Wednesday in your sign and first house. Saturn first entered your sign in December of 2014 and will be there until December. While retrograde, Saturn’s energies will be expressed and worked with differently, and while you may not come up with answers to all your questions, you will certainly have a deeper insight into things. Saturn could have some hard work for you to do now, some tough life lessons about boundaries and responsibility and maturity...

On Sunday Mercury turns retrograde in Taurus and your sixth house of health. While the mental planet is retrograde in this part of your chart, you could have a health crisis or emergency arise or an issue or injury from the past could bother you again. This part of your chart also deals with organization, being of service to others, the people you work with, purification, organization, wellness and your pets. Be extra conscious with your communications and correspondence with others. Address any health concerns or issues now and revisit old injuries and problems.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

The Planetary Disciplinarian, Saturn, turns retrograde on Wednesday in Sagittarius, your house of endings and sorrow. This is your ruling planet and you are extremely influenced by his archetypal energies. While Saturn is retrograde here you could find yourself in a rabbit hole of memories, processing and getting closure on lessons learned, wounds received, your self-defeating patterns, spiritual debts paid, and the meaning of life. The themes of this time will be boundaries, maturity, responsibility, limitation, and diligence.

Mercury, the planet of the mind, turns retrograde in Taurus on Sunday in your fifth house of sex and art. This will be a time to review and revision your artistic pursuits and goals and your sexual desires and passions. You could run into some misunderstandings with a lover or partner so try not to take things personally. This would not be the best time to begin a romance or love affair. It is likely that an old flame or ex love will show up now.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Saturn, the Disciplinarian, turns retrograde in Sagittarius on Wednesday in your friendship house. The themes Saturn brings include responsibility, boundaries, commitment, maturity, and limitations. Your eleventh house is all about intellectual pleasures, long term plans, alliances, groups you belong to, teamwork, goals and objectives. You may feel compelled to review your friends and alliances and tighten up your boundaries again.

On Sunday Mercury turns retrograde in Taurus and your domestic fourth house. This part of your chart is all about your home life, your family members, foundations, roots, femininity, and self-care. When Mercury is retrograde your communication and conversations could be strained, so try to avoid verbal conflict and pay extra attention to correspondence, emails and texts. People from your past could return during this time, or there could be some information or insight gained about your maternal line.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

On Wednesday, the planet of responsibility turns retrograde in Sagittarius and your career house. Saturn is known as the Disciplinarian because he rules discipline, hard work, maturity, limitation, and diligence. He is the teacher of tough life lessons. In your tenth house, this retrograde cycle could bring you work to do around success, material abundance, ambition, your career, long term plans, experts or father figures in your life. All of Saturn’s lessons are necessary to mature and to evolve.

Mercury, the muse of the mind, turns retrograde again on Sunday in Taurus and your third house of communication. This retrograde cycle will surely bring some misunderstandings and mishaps as the communication planet retrogrades in your communication sector. Make sure to review all texts and emails and be aware of your verbal communication as well. If you can avoid signing contracts or initiating new beginnings during this cycle, you should postpone until Mercury turns direct.

This morning at 3:29am California time, the sun entered 0º Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, initiating not only Aries season but an astrological new year AND Vernal Equinox (in this hemisphere). Aries is the beginning, and we can allow this new beginning to be personally significant by aligning with the energies of Nature at this time.

Equinox (“equal night”) is a time of year when day and night are equal and light and dark are balanced; the sun rises and sets due east and west and crosses the Celestial Equator. This is the perfect time to honor and invoke and implement balance as a practice in life. We can reflect on the ways we spend our time and energy and whether they are in alignment with what we truly value. We can then renew our commitment to make changes when needed, to seek the midline of life when we feel uncertain or uninspired. Balancing effort and ease is a valuable practice to remember.

Vernal Equinox is also Ostara, a holy day in the Celtic/Pagan Wheel of the Year named for the Goddess Ostara, or Eostre, the Goddess of the Red Dawn- the Spring Goddess, whose sacred attendant is the magical hare. It is a time to bless spring seeds and place them in your heart and into the ground. Signs of spring announce that the Light will now begin to reign. The sky pours rain to soak the earth, to resurrect nature from the frozen sleep of winter. The Cosmic Egg of Nature hatches and life emerges enthusiastically from within.

The hare, long associated with the moon, is the embodiment of fertility and an ancient symbol of magic, sacred to Ostara as well as the Faerie Queen. The egg is the primordial symbol of birth and beginnings. The Aries sun calls us to feel a renewed energy, new inner fire and spark, an awakening of dormant creativity or slumbering passion. May we break out of our shells with ignited inspiration and exclaim with lives lived artfully that we align with a radical and wild Nature.

Some simple but meaningful ways to ritualize the Equinox and Ostara:

• Spring cleaning, inside and out, is a great way to express the energy of renewal and new beginnings. Clear out the clutter and stagnation, regrets and resentments, to make space for new growth and abundance. Collect the clothes or other items you aren't wearing or using and donate them. Don't forget that stagnant energy settles into your upholstery, so your bed, couch, chairs etc all need refreshing. When cleaning your home, it is customary to scrub clockwise to infuse the space with good energy for growth, and add positive thoughts, affirmations or mantras. Open all the windows and burn sage or palo santo to clear the old energies out of your space and let fresh air in. Set up a spring altar, with rabbits and colored eggs, daffodils and wildflowers, chocolate bunnies, candles, a cauldron and seeds…
• Plant seeds in your garden or flowerbed, or make a place to grow in containers by a window indoors. Make the already natural act of gardening even more of a ritual by clearing and blessing your tools and your seeds first, set intentions for the seeds you'll be planting so that you can sow in the energies you want to grow with the seeds, and say a prayer or blessing after your planting to protect and enhance your garden, and offer gratitude to Nature and the elements.
• Get a bag of small chocolate covered eggs wrapped in colorful foil (they're everywhere now because Easter is coming, but no one knows Ostara is where it all began!). These little eggs represent primordial eggs of potentiality and intentionality. Hold one egg in your right palm near your heart space and place your left hand over your right. Set an intention for your life, especially around bringing balance or harmony somewhere, and infuse the colored egg with your intention. Do this one or two more times (these intentions should have gravitas, so two or three should be perfect). Now eat your egg! And plant the chocolate egg seed in your belly consciousness. :)
• It is said that only two times a year can one balance an egg on its end, and this is one of those days.
• Think spring cleaning and seeking balance as themes. Sprinkle with gratitude and hope. Enjoy.

Blessed be ~*~

March 20-26 Horoscopes

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes for the week of Monday, March 20 - Sunday, March 26

We begin the week with Spring Equinox on Monday, when the sun moves to 0º Aries. Moving from Pisces to Aries, we move from the last sign to the first, the beginning of the astrological new year. Happy solar return, Rams! Ostara blessings to all.

Equinox means equal night, and refers to the balance of light and darkness in nature. It reminds you to seek harmony, and look at where in life you’ve gotten out of balance in the extreme and make the necessary adjustments. This is also our cue from Nature to initiate spring cleaning and declutter our brains of winter’s heaviness.

The first set of eclipses have activated and magnetized some major shifts and now and for p to six months we will see how these changes manifest.

Enjoy your week. Happy Ostara!

March 13-19 Horoscopes

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes for the week of Monday, March 13 - Sunday, March 19  

This week we’re still reeling from Sunday’s Virgo Full Moon and the recent eclipses. The effects of this eclipse portal may not play out fully for another six months, but we can feel things set in motion.

On Monday Mercury moves again, this time to Aries. Our communications could get a little more direct and a lot more feisty.

This week is fairly quiet, which can allow for the integration of the pretty intense astrological weather we’re having. And next week the Wheel of the Year will turn once again, bringing us to Spring Equinox finally. The sun will move into Aries, and the astrological calendar will begin again. For these seven days, begin to reflect on where you’ve gotten off track or out of balance, and also what feels healthy and strong in your life right now.

Enjoy your week.

Venus, the love planet, turns retrograde at 13º Aries on March 4, 1:09am California time. Rather than the fear and confusion this news usually invokes, it can actually inspire you into a period of self-reflection about the kind of relationships you want and the way in which you want to be loved.

The journey Venus makes through the heavens astronomically is a particularly fascinating one to me, as well as Venus' association with the mythic story of Inanna. I have written and taught about Venus and Inanna for years and continue to have insights when studying and experiencing these energies, as they are both valuable and potent archetypes. Venus makes what can be considered eight year loops, and turns retrograde every year and a half. She begins her retrograde in Aries but will move back to Pisces on April 2 until direct motion on April 15, at 27º. When Venus turns retrograde she is an Evening Star but will emerge as a Morning Star next month after her time in her Underworld. This parallels the mythology of Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, who leaves all the she has and all that she is behind and is initiated into the Realm of the Underworld by her sister Ereshkigal, the Dark Goddess. After her trials and death to her old self she is reborn, she ascends from the Realm of the Dead and rises as Morning Star and Queen once more.

While Venus is in her Underworld, she is not functioning normally, as she enters a numinous and intense space. Her work will be felt internally and deeply, and may not manifest at first externally. This is a time when we have the option of doing great work on ourselves, to deal with outdated self-imposed limitations when it comes to love and vulnerability, we can clear out heart wounds, and we can revision what we want in our relationships and in love. During this next month, we will begin to unearth the frozen and petrified parts of our hearts and let go of much pain and patterning that doesn't serve us, do important work on self-love, and clarify and invoke the highest love available to us in this life in all our relationships.

Venus rules all things related to love, money, abundance, beauty, adornment, pleasure, beautification, the arts, music, writing, sex appeal, romance, friendship, allure, love affairs, finance, emotions, grace…  so when she moves we may need to pay attention. Look at your horoscopes to see where Venus will turn retrograde and where your work will start. Relationships, like anything of value in life, requires our investment and our work. Think of this Venus retrograde as the chrysalis stage of your transformational metamorphosis … emerging with updated and activated visions and insights about love, relationships and harmonious existence.  

Dowse yourselves with rose oil and surround yourselves with rose quartz. Drink or soak in magnesium before bed and if you're adept at herbs, make a dream tea with hops, lavender and valerian to assist deep sleep. If you don't have a love altar in your home and feel like you want or need one, create it. Need ideas? Send me a pm. 

May your hearts let go and release the baggage and heal, grow and glow in this time of contemplation and revelation. 

Blessed be.

February 27-March 5

Wild Moon Wisdom Horoscopes

for the week of Monday, February 27 - Sunday, March 5

We’ve just emerged from the second eclipse in this current Eclipse Portal, with the solar eclipse and new moon in Pisces on Sunday morning. We are often altered in some way, either during the Eclipse Portal itself or in the six months that unfold after, revealing something that was dissolved or removed and something new beginning to grow. Eclipses always magnify or magnetize, they initiate and activate.

This weekend Venus, the planet of love, turns retrograde in Aries. While Venus is retrograde she turns inward, and we may have some inner work to do around self-love or our relationship or money wounds. It is also a time to reflect on what you desire in love, in your relationships with others, and also your core beliefs around material success and abundance.

Enjoy your week.

Aries & Aries Rising

Venus has been in your sign since February 3, and on Saturday will turn retrograde until April 15. During this time, you may feel pulled toward reflection and review of your love life and how you relate in your relationships. Some of your closest connections may undergo change. This is also a good time to contemplate and revision your beliefs about money and material wealth and spiritual abundance.

Your ruling planet Mars is shifting from your sign to earthy Taurus next week and that will feel different. You may be feeling on edge and riled up, and rightly so, but butting heads in conflict has taken its toll and now it’s time to ground down a little bit. The feistiness will still be there- you’ll just need to be more discerning about which battles you really need to take on.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

The planet of love, Venus, will turn retrograde in Aries on Saturday in your house of endings. Your sign is ruled by Venus, which is what makes you such a lover of art, beauty and pleasure in its many forms. This is the hazy, reclusive part of your chart where you sit with your sorrows and lick your wounds, release and get rest. You can contemplate what you want in your relationships going forward, the kind of lover you want, friends that are your tribe, and how even challenging relationships can give momentum to your evolution. Venus is also all about finances and self-worth, so think about these things too.

Next week Mars, the action planet, will leave Aries and move to your sign, giving you a boost and blast of energy and power. You can start making plans now for how you’ll channel your ambition and drive.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

The love planet Venus will turn retrograde in Aries this Saturday in your house of alliances. While Venus is retrograde, your romantic and relatable side may go underground temporarily in favor of rethinking what it is you want in your relationships. Venus also rules money and self-worth, so there will be some work to do around those issues as well.

Mars, the feisty planet, is in Aries currently and in this same part of your chart. After last week’s Mars/Pluto square, you could be involved in some interpersonal conflicts but those could begin to be smoothed out when Mars moves to Taurus next week, when you’ll be able to process things and get some rest and solitude.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

On Saturday, Venus turns retrograde in fellow fire sign Aries, which is your house of mental exploration and adventure. While retrograde, Venus turns her power inward. You could decide to relocate for love or education, or you could decide to take a long trip as an adventure. You may feel more inclined to think about and discuss the philosophies of love, the ideas behind these feelings and emotions, and since this is the risk-taking and blunt-talking part of your chart, you could take a chance or make a love declaration after this period.

Mars, the action planet, is still in Aries and this same area of your chart this week. Next week that energy will shift when Mars moves to Taurus; your career and public standing will get a big boost now. Be resourceful and use this burst of energy to fuel your goals and ambition, to create bright ideas that will garner admiration, or to increase your material success.
