Note: i will no longer be writing horoscopes everyday. Today marks the 1 year anniversary of my first entry and I am so grateful to have seen this endeavor through for a whole calendar year. However, there are other writing projects that are more alive for me and feel my energy will be better spent on writing beyond daily check-ins.
I do, however, plan on continuing with weekly horoscopes (including a song and a poem each week!) and will post daily about the weather of the day, so I won’t be going away! Just shifting energy. I will continue to put out more writing on astrology, as well as other projects in the future, so keep your eyes peeled for that. If you want to follow along with what I am doing, I recommend joining me elsewhere:

Those spots are the best places to find out about new offerings and take advantage of the readings I offer.
Thanks to everyone who read what I wrote and got something out of it.
I hope you stick around to see what’s next.

We begin the week with the moon in Leo, adding a buoyancy and creativity to our emotional lives. By the time the Venus trines Saturn on Wednesday, the moon has moved int Virgo, creating a more analytic and critical view towards what we may have initiated during the Leo Moon.  We have the ability to refine our creative energies, but must watch for being too critical as the moon moves into a square with logical Mercury. We need to shift this hard eye to relationships, however, as Saturn values structure and boundaries. When sending harmonious energy to Venus, planet of value and pleasure, we are being asked to create the containers we need to love both ourselves and others at the same time. This means saying no. This means getting realistic about what we can actually give others and committing to no more than we can comfortably promise. Seeing a relationship through, even when it gets difficult, is a beautiful gift you can give yourself. Just make the the other person is putting in the effort too. Ending commitments is it own form of discipline.
The following day, the ambient energy of the world shifts from earth to air as the Sun makes its annual movement in the sign of Gemini. While we have already had a taste of the mutable air sign since Mercury and Venus moved into Gemini, we now have the warmth and drive to bring the sign’s significations into the forefront of our lives. Ruled by Mercury, Gemini values the free flow of information both inward and outwards. It wants to experience as much of the world as possible without trying to impose meaning or structure onto the chaotic vastness of existence. It wants to make connections between different people and ideas and values curiosity, friendliness and an openness to the new. The Sun’s movement into this sign also ushers in the first hints of Eclipse Season, which officially begins with the next Full Moon on the 26th. Begin considering what house Gemini occupies in your chart; prepare for changes and shifts to occur there.
On Friday, Jupiter makes its first aspect after entering Pisces. With a square to the Sun, there may be some tension between who we feel ourselves to be right now and what we are growing into. While the Sun in Gemini wants to focus on the particulars of our senses of selves — likes, dislikes, the steps towards a goal— Jupiter in Pisces wants to dissolve barriers between all things. This means trusting the process instead of trying to control or understand it. This means knowing that you already are what you want to become. While I would still call this transit an optimistic one, I would also say it will require dynamic action to meet the demands of both planetary energies. Stay realistic about what you can do right now while still holding onto the bigger vision. It will coalesce in time.
We end the week with a bit of confusion so be aware of how seriously you should take the information that comes your way. Mercury, planet of communication, forms a square with Neptune, the great dissolver. As the ocean planet goes to work dissolving boundaries and giving us all sorts of psychic, emotional information, it also conflicts with our ability to think clearly or use our best judgment. So while creative work and spiritual efforts will be enhanced, so will our confusion, anxiety and driftiness. Consider the limits of your mind in the face of so much vastness and trust that you don’t have all the answers.
Read on for your weekly horoscopes and ride the celestial waves.
