Stars + Strategy

The stars either work with you or against you and it all depends on whether you know what their up to or not. This monthly forecast sets up you to take advantage of these powerful forces. Using the stars strategically helps you clear the pathway to your success and achieve your personal, professional and financial triumph.

April 2023 Summary

Theme: Blind Leap into the New

Sun signs – Aries & Taurus

Simple truths come from the chaos. The restrictions continue and the world comes together and moves apart, simultaneously. The choice is here and blind faith is the answer. It will all work out – of this, I am sure. Dial into the frequency that soothes and helps you see the light. Attune to your own truth. Your belief system is put to the test. Yet, it holds. Stay steady. Breathe. Take tentative steps into the new ways of living and leading. Leadership is required. Let’s be ready.

STAR DANCE

Big Star Events: (in chronological order)

April – All planets direct until the 21^st
April 17^th – Venus out of bounds
April 20^th – Ring of Fire eclipse & Sun square Pluto
April 21^st – Mercury retrograde

Week 1: April 3 – 9

Access the confident, deliberate and solution-oriented influences. Empathy, compassion and love win the day. Weather, food supplies and transportation issues take center stage. Hope for healing the climate, technological remedies and scientific innovations shine light for the future. Chances open to be part of the way forward.

Avoid the fear, doubt and confusion that breakdowns and limits create. The news continues to be explosive and scary. Problems appear to stack up without relief, especially about social and environmental justice. Powerful people take advantage of fixed opinions to sway the masses toward their point of view.

Tips: Pay attention to the discoveries coming into the open. Remain detached and flexible. Think about what’s worked for you in the past and stay the course. Patience isn’t easy to come by, so remind yourself of your long-term goals. Small celebrations bring levity and relief.

Week 2: April 10 – 16

Access the benefits of committed and loving relationship. Deep feelings and intense emotions can strengthen your connections. Fortune favors the bold and it’s courageous to be dedicated to your convictions, even when they seem to take a beating. Your power grows by steadily racking up your accomplishments.

Avoid expending your energy on things that aren’t yours or distracting yourself with overindulgence. Money woes, physical obstacles and relationship doubts continue to build. Feelings of isolation and disconnection push you to seek support in inopportune and rash ways.

Tips: Remember the adage, “Being happy is more important than being right”. Review what’s truly important for you and trim down the rest. Read over your values every day to deepen your commitment to what’s true for you.

Week 3: April 17 – 23

On April 20^th, Happy birthday Taurus, Hello Ring of Fire eclipse and confrontation between the Sun and Pluto.

Access flirty, sassy playfulness with Venus in Gemini and out of bounds. She’s eclectic and unusual in her tastes. The fun, lightheartedness paves the way for ease and simple truths. Simplicity and creature comforts are desired. Wealth and power come to those who exhibit patience and commitment.

Avoid overindulgence and over-spending recklessness. Tensions and confrontations make it nearly impossible to find your footing. Power plays and competitive grabs trigger you and threaten your peace of mind. Typical processes and systems break and fall apart.

Tips: Stand in your authority and keep your eyes facing forward. Yet, notice what’s happening around you with an open heart. Ask yourself what you’re willing to do and not willing to do in world events. Ask how can this be provocative versus provoking. Remember you get to choose how you respond.

Big Star Event: Mercury Retrograde in Taurus

Mercury Rx: April – May 2023: Connect to Your Future

Details: April 21 – May 14 in Taurus 15°- 5° (during an ecliptic cycle)

Through the fog of another ecliptic cycle, Mercury expects easy answers to difficult questions while churning everything in your path – people, technologies and schedules. You can’t find your way through the fog and suddenly, the floor seems to be shaking beneath your feet. The explosive square between the Sun and Pluto isn’t helping either. Shock waves reverberate through your core. Mercury giggles and flashes mirrored reflections from everyone around you. He’s helped by Venus and Mars being out of bounds, adding more pressure to your love life by complicating how you show up for yourself and others. Ugh.

As for Mercury, what’s his deal? Mercury wants you to believe – without any logical reason to do so. A helpful mantra during this time is “I believe”. Say it over and over again until you actually do. 😘

Note: For Taurus signs and those with packed 2^nd houses, add the shadow periods for this retrograde cycle. Add the shadow period beginning on April 7^th and until May 31^st. For Virgos and Capricorns, your world is shaken too, however, you have more certainty, so lean into it. For the fixed signs of Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, use your powers of self-persuasion, with an eye on the future, for the answers you seek.

Week 4: April 24 – 30

Access the abundant, brilliant new ideas with the will to implement them. Creative solutions for the Earth and her resources abound. Imaginative pursuits and intuitive leanings expand and become interesting to the mainstream. Dissolution of old patterns. Unfair fix-it solutions get attention. Willingness to take action based on these insights.

Avoid feelings of righteous, judgement and smugness. Responding to unjust and out of balance happenings isn’t productive. Things come to surface and get buried just as quickly. The doing and undoing causes confusion and the desire to react swiftly.

Tips: Do things that bring you comfort and help you feel stable and secure. Connect to nature by spending time outdoors. Simplify your life. Expend excess energy through physical activity. Cook your favorite foods, garden and entertain family and close friends.

MOON MAGIC

The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. Here are the phases and what you should do:

The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.

Full Moon: Awaken to the Future

Details: April 6^th Sun in Aries & Moon in Libra 16° @12:37 am ET

Today is a glimpse into the nodal shifts in July and the fiery energies of 2025. It’s possible to either create the world you desire or destroy it. Full acceptance of the heart and soul as part of everyday existence is the key to unlocking the New Earth for the masses. Will they accept? Or will they revolt? With chaos, comes creation.

New Moon: Window into the New

Details: April 20^th Sun & Moon in Aries 29° @ 12:15 am ET

The middle is missing, it’s been hollowed out. The Moon steps in to give power to the middle, literally and figuratively. During this blind leap of faith moment, the edges have all of the energy due to their vibrancy and intensity. It’s alluring to become part of a faction. However, it’s just that – a faction. Where’s the middle? Does the middle show up or does it hide?

Big Star Event: The Ring of Fire Eclipse

Within 2 minutes of the New Moon, the annular effects of the eclipse create a ring of fire as the Moon covers the Sun’s center to peak around the edges as she gets between the Earth and the Sun.

In the last breath of Aries, the solar eclipse begins to bring a fiery, awakened response to what’s happening around you. This spark ignites and ripples for 6 months until the next eclipse.

The Moon’s energy combines with the Sun’s, making you live and breathe Aries forces of courage, independence and authenticity. Who are you and how do you want to live are questions that arise once again. It’s time for taking action, making changes and starting something new.

Pluto’s influence suggests challenges and overcoming fears as you wrangle with how to begin something new, while Jupiter urges you to take calculated risks instead of reacting impulsively.

MAGICAL TOOLS

The oracle cards bring insight into what’s coming for the month. They give your mind something to focus on and remember as you go through the days and weeks. You can ponder the card or go into the guidance in the book when you need more than mental reminders.

The power of animal and crystal energy are easy to employ to help you create the success and satisfaction you desire. Spirit animals are always willing to assist. Simply call on the animal to bring it into focus and ponder its meaning.

For crystals, grab the crystal and put it on your desk, purse or kitchen table. You want to align with your success and this month’s stone helps you do that.

For flower essences, put 3 drops into water 3 times a day and feel the gentle support for your body and emotions.

Oracle card: #45 Sell

What you crave, craves you. It’s time. Your offerings are needed in the world. Come out and put yourself forward. It’s time to inform, invite and offer. The message of the card is: “Selling is a part of being a business owner. This card wants you to make those calls, invite those prospects and extend those offers.”

Quick tip: Print out your client roster and lead tracking sheets. Close your eyes and point your finger on a name. Call the person whose name you chose. There’s a reason that name was selected – make it count.

Crystal: Fire Agate

Seek respite in the stone of the month: Fire Agate

Agate is a grounding stone with a powerful multi-level cleansing effect. It balances yin and yang, soothes and helps with self-acceptance and speaking the truth. It heals anger and facilitates spiritual growth. Fire agate promotes inner security and is antidote to emotional vulnerability. It’s an all-around healing stone as its grounding, mellowing and protecting.

Flower Essence: Walnut

Change. This essence helps us deal with changing circumstances without losing balance. It provides protection from change and unwanted influences. It heralds new beginnings, fresh starts and futures all of which are components of our work in the world and beyond.

Spirit Animal: Skunk

Skunk symbolizes reputation and respect. You’re confident, charismatic, playful and nonchalant. You exude calm, courageous and love to pursue information yourself, rather than to rely on others.

Call on skunk when you need to defend yourself, want to regain your self-respect and self-esteem or want to be more playful.

INTUITIVE TYPE FORECASTS

Following our success-making Do You Know, Like and Trust Yourself ™ methodology, tap into the energies of your Intuitive Success Type for the best results this month.

Wise Strategist – Get ahead by stepping into the third week’s energy. Let Mercury Retrograde move you to the top. You love the review, refine, redefine, reassess requirements of this energy. All other types don’t. Use this time to your advantage. Get to the bottom of what really matters. Prioritize your activities. Choose those that utilize your strengths to give you the best results.

Intuitive Visionary – Gathering the momentum around your key offerings propels you to the next level. Focus on the bottom line, not your top revenue figures. Get back to what works for you and disregard everything that’s superfluous. Fine tune every aspect of your business. The success is in the details. Your concentrated effort now pays off for years to come.

Collaborative Explorer – Your rebellious side comes to life this month. Allow the fiery tones to boost your exploration of your definition of love, wealth and success. Your competitive side has been slumbering for so long, you’ve forgotten how to access it. Healthy parameters to achieve your goals and get the results you desire need to be created. Spend the time to do so this month. It pays off during the next eclipse in October.

Ruling Warrior – You adore the fiery energies, but are impatient with the lack of results as things appear to come together and then fritter away. It’s best to remember what’s meant for you remains and what’s not, disappears. Appreciate the helpful elements of this energy – you won’t waste time. Saving time supports your efforts to optimize and streamline to improve your bottom line.

Creative Superstar – Alternating between feelings of being wronged and feeling entitled spins you into a frenzy. The urge to overindulge pushes at you daily. There are too many wishes and desires that aren’t being met. Your relationships intensify to the point of requiring commitment from you before you’re ready. Dive deeply into your core to find the answers. You know what’s right for you.

Loving Alchemist – Close loving and family relationships get added energy this month, yet it’s unclear what each require from you. Each asks something of you on a daily basis. You get off track due to other’s needs. It’s important not to forget yourself. Now’s the time to figure out what you want. Your desires for success and wealth matter too. Let the eclipse be a time to refine your intentions.

BOTTOM LINE

This year is a series of gates that open for you to walk into the new energy that combines ancient wisdom with innovative methods. The feminine aspects of intuition and cyclic cosmic influence weave with the masculine forces of logic, reason and expansion. The Ring of Fire eclipse hearkens for the resonance of the future. Are you listening?

Thank you for reading & sharing with family and friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

Stars + Strategy

The stars either work with you or against you and it all depends on whether you know what their up to or not. This monthly forecast sets you up to take advantage of these powerful forces. Using the stars strategically helps you remove the blocks to your success and achieve your personal, professional and financial triumph.

March 2023 Summary

Theme: Edge of the World

Sun signs: Pisces & Aries

There’s a crisis of understanding as threats to your stability and security ignite the greatest fears you have. Staying close to what’s familiar and comforting support you as the world swirls, seemingly into chaos. Remember, you are infinite and filled with the universe. Your potential and your future await. Give over to love, as it’s the only thing that’s real. Power punches peak at the end of the month. Be mindful of what’s actually true for you at this time.

There are 2 MAJOR star events in March involving Saturn (Hard Choices) and Pluto (Transformational Hell) as each are moving from one zodiac sign to the next. For Saturn, this happens every 2 ½ years, so his cycle moves through the zodiac every 30 years. For Pluto, this planetary cycle is 248 years and due to its elliptical pattern, spends between 10 – 25 years in each sign. Pluto also creates generational change in the world.

This is, without a doubt, a BIG deal.

STAR DANCE

Big Star Events: (in chronological order)

March – all planets direct
March 7^th – Saturn enters Pisces @ 0°
March 12^th – Aries Jupiter conjunct Chiron @ 14°
March 20^th – Equinox: Sun enters Aries @ 0°
March 23^rd – Pluto enters Aquarius @ 0°

Week 1: February 27^th – March 5^th

Access fortune, luck and success through connections for business and love. Diligence, details and serious discussions create excellent opportunities. Solutions, ideas and strategies present themselves. Ask and you shall receive.

Avoid stepping back and riding the ease of the energy. Feelings and thinking about taking time off, sleeping late or calling in sick aren’t in your best interests this week.

Tips: Say ‘YES’ this week. Put the time in, work late and push yourself to make those calls, schedule those appointments and do the outreach.

Big Star Event: The Right Questions

Details: Saturn enters Pisces on March 7^th @ 8:33 am ET

What is real and what is fake? It’s almost impossible to tell and will remain this way for another 3 years. Saturn and Neptune are in concert with each other as they both reside in Pisces from 2023 through 2025. Then, they co-join again in 2026. This time in Aries – a reckoning for resolution like no other.

Right now? There are no answers, only questions. And for the next 3 years, asking the right questions is critical.

Catch the video on YouTube as Mariah and I explain everything you need to know about the next 3 years. We also have star peeks. Everyone goes crazy for them.

Week 2: March 6^th – 12^th

The first BIG star event of the year happens on March 7^th as Saturn enters Pisces within the hour of the Full Moon in Virgo to open the gateway to the wholeness of you.

Access the fresh point of view and exciting news pushing you toward healing your relationships in business and love. When you do, you have the ability be unwavering in your commit to your full potential. There’s good news when you open to all aspects of who are you and expand your willingness to remember your internal wisdom.

Avoid playing it safe and going into protection mode as your creature comforts are pushed to the edge. Be wary of defending your current position and letting your prior actions dictate your future moves. Good fortune favors the bold.

Tips: Be brave. Welcome the powerful potential of this time. Do the unexpected.

Week 3: March 13^th – 19^th

Without the Moon, there are 14 star aspects this week. This is a FULL week!

Access information coming to the surface that sheds light and awakens leadership tendencies. Bold ideas and out-of-the-blue innovations become known. Serious connections abound in your personal and business lives. Creativity and compassion serve to open feelings about what’s happening around you.

Avoid busyness, impatience, aggressive thoughts and distorted reactions. Jealousy, hidden agendas and elbows thrown to jockey for attention are everywhere. Short-tempers and messy feelings add confusion and wrong moves in business and at home.

Tips: Drop into your intuition or use your instincts. Do research and study diligently this week. In business, hire an expert and let them support you in negotiations and deal-making.

Equinox: Cliff Diving

Details: March 20 @ 5:24 pm ET Sun 0° Aries

Leadership is awakened. Which type of leadership is the question. Tons of charm and magnetism enable influence and persuasion for your point of view. This can be positive for the greater good or abused by narcissistic desires. Entitlement and nepotism are up for review. Who’s telling the truth and who’s lying?

Dancing on the edge works when the core is deep and strong. Otherwise, the edge may pull you too far.

Big Star Event: The New World

Details: Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23^rd @ 8:12 am ET

Pluto in Aquarius creates generational change. This planet stirs up the revolutionary tendencies of Aquarius as a stellium resides in Aries at the time of the planetary transition into a new sign. Freedom, individual rights and quest for the future awakens NOW.

By the way, Pluto is the God of Hell.

Pluto has no patience. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius, 1778 – 1798, it sparked the American and French revolutions. For everything you need to know for the next 20 years, join our Star Pass program.

Week 4: March 20^th – 26^th

Integrity and decency are challenged this week.

Access the powerful forces to do the right thing. There’s an ignition or flash point awakening thoughts, feelings and actions. Your value, status and physical comforts are under the magnifying glass. Solutions to complex problems and healing energies are available when you say YES.

Avoid plunging into the darkness to protect yourself. Closing off, putting up barriers and taking a defensive posture seems like the answer. As does, following those who say, “I have the all of the answers. It’s as simple as 1-2-3,” or “I’ll save you. I’m the only one who can help you.” Neither benefit you.

Tips: Take a deep breath. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. In fact, take 10 breaths. Do this every day.

Week 5: March 27^th – April 2^nd

Access the willingness to be bold and original. Activation and ignition spark the pursuit of innovations. New ideas and suggestions position you for new heights and opportunities for success.

Avoid frivolous and distracting purchases. Self-soothing escapism and shiny objects. Impulsive and explosive moves. Breaking up and away just for the sake of breaking up and away.

Tips: Fill yourself with self-care routines and satisfying actions. Then and only then, dance on the edges. Get creative to pursue brave and new ideas.

MOON MAGIC

The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. Here are the phases and what you should do:

The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.

Full Moon: Crisis of Understanding or Embodiment of Full Potential?

Details: March 7^th @ 7:42 am ET Full Moon Sun in Pisces & Moon in Virgo at 16°

Full Moons are opposing forces making both available when you act from the core and destabilizing when you choose one over the other. The polarizing actions over the last few decades come to a head later in the month, but are felt keenly now.

The softness of Pisces meets the hardness of Saturn and that of Virgo, when she’s threatened. Gun violence, severe weather and political positioning (autocracy versus democracy) are ignited by the third week of the month.

Will the world respond and take long-lasting steps for the wellness of its citizenry or will it choose ‘simpler, easier and shinier’ actions?

New Moon: Point of Origin

Details: March 21^st @ 1:26 pm ET Sun & Moon at 0° Aries

The stellium in Aries with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Chiron in this sign of spark, ignition, and fire. This is a point of origin, a new beginning, an awakening. Finding the structural components that are necessary to sustain, support and provide for the world is possible. How will the world respond?

Every month, the New Moon signals a new beginning and this month is especially true with the Sun and Moon at zero-degrees. This is a flash point of energetic force. Typically, it’s like lighting a match, but this month, it’s like lighting a powder keg.

MAGICAL TOOLS

For crystals, grab the crystal and put it on your desk, purse or kitchen table. You want to align with your success and this month’s stone helps you do that.

For flower essences, put 3 drops into water 3 times a day and feel the gentle support for your body and emotions.

Intuitive Oracle card: #47 Optimize

The essence of this card is perfect for March – Expand the trust you have for your business. It’s absolutely perfect when you’re standing on the edge, trying not to look down. I also love the words to ponder: Develop. Elevate. Enrich. I can taste these words and want to savor them. I’m going to wrap these energies around me, especially the 3^rd week this month.

This oracle card is particularly helpful for Collaborative Explorers and Creative Superstars.

Order intuition cards online

Crystal: Emerald

Seek respite in the stone of the month: Emerald.

Its’ true that emerald is a stone of love, as I’ve mentioned in previous monthly stone segments, however, I want to emphasize a few other qualities.

Emerald is a stone of awareness as it allows reason and wisdom to enter into your consciousness to accept the unknown. It promotes an ability to be discerning and a deeper inner knowing. It improves all of your bodies, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, bringing harmony in all areas of your life.

This crystal enhances intuition, clear vision and clairvoyance to help you communicate with the Divine. And, emerald is indeed, a love stone activating your heart chakra, increasing joy and harmonizing relationships.

Call on emerald this month – often. Carry it with you and/or put it on your kitchen table or in your family room. Use it whenever you feel the need throughout this month.

I have a bowl filled with emerald, lapis and sunstone. As this was the stone of the month in June 2020, I’ve moved this bowl into the center of my kitchen table. It’s been there ever since. (Not ironically, the Tarot card that month was The Chariot – 2023’s card). The universe is like a hammer to the head in its messaging.

Emerald is excellent for Every Intuitive Success Type. However, Wise Strategists and Ruling Warriors, in particular, benefit the most from this crystal.

Flower Essence: Water Violet

Move from isolation to connection by taking water violet throughout the month of March. Specialness, elitism, over-rationalization of being separate or feeling above the rest is resolved with this flower essence. There’s nothing special about anyone, every person is unique, brilliant and filled with potential.

Furthermore, people benefiting from water violet control their emotions and hold themselves back with stoicism and aloofness. They

– enter the world putting up walls and defending themselves against intimacy and connections.

– tell themselves, “I need to put up boundaries because people take advantage,” or “Everyone is too much – too loud, too arrogant, too ignorant.”

– feel superior, when actually it’s their lack of confidence in being able to relate and their fear of intimacy that holds them back from fully experiencing life.

Loving Alchemists take note of this flower essence.

Spirit Animal: Swan

The swan is intuitive with instincts to know what lies ahead. When this spirit animal shows up, it’s nudging you to accept your inner knowing and to trust it. Swans are excellent at seeing the truth and looking beneath the surface. When something presents itself, swan wants you to determine what it means for you and reminds you it may mean nothing.

Swans are loyal in relationships and commit to their partners for the long term. They are graceful and poised, no matter the circumstances happening around them. The swan loves going to the depths to avoid the chaos at the surface. Most importantly, call on swan when things become overwhelming.

The swan supports Intuitive Visionaries for grounding their brilliance and deepening their power.

INTUITIVE TYPE FORECASTS

Following our success-making Do You Know, Like and Trust Yourself ™ methodology, tap into the energies of your Intuitive Success Type for the best results this month.

Wise Strategist – This month is your kryptonite. There’s nothing of redeeming quality to these energies for your need to have predictable, clear and detailed guidance. March is anything but, as it swirls forth, picking up additional energies as each week passes. Water burns into fire on the Equinox, yet feels as if it’s burning a hole in your heart and mind. Stand in your core, remind yourself of your strengths and focus on the long-term. This month will pass and you’ll be standing in your power.

Intuitive Visionary – Captain chaos! You get swept up with all of the activity at every level. You love the distractions and chaos-creating energies as ideas are plucked, seemingly, from the sky. The pure potential that’s available this month belongs to you. Stick to your path. Put your head down and act in your own best interests. You’re the only type who can take complete advantage of everything happening. You can embody your full potential by grounding it into your being.

Collaborative Explorer – This month is everything you don’t like. All of the hidden agendas and feelings coming to the surface widens chasms and urges argumentative behavior. All of the power plays and manipulations intensifies tensions and increases chaos. Diving beneath the surface by focusing on yourself, your goals and your needs is the antidote. Acting only on the things directly in front of you eases your mind and soothes your nervous system.

Ruling Warrior – The emotional side of the energies push you to soften and dissolve into vulnerability. This, quite frankly, is one of your worst fears. You get defensive and protective of your position of authority. But, authenticity is the new professionalism, so vulnerability opens you to engage with others and deepens your connections. The fiery forces after the Equinox aligns with your energy. Be careful not to overdo.

Creative Superstar – You adore the Piscean creative, intuitive vibes the first 3 weeks, but loathe the fiery powerful forces after the Equinox. Diving deeply beneath the surface works when it’s balanced with taking physical steps to be active in daily life. Use the fiery influences to prompt you to show up with your audiences. You can be the shining star among the chaos.

Loving Alchemist – Providing for loved ones is your favorite thing to do and this month, every one of them needs your love and support. You thrive with all of these family needs, however, push yourself to reach beyond your four walls into the outside world. Your type can deal with the edginess, so reach into your vast reserves and stand in unwavering power. Be a beacon for all to see.

BOTTOM LINE

March 2023 will go down in the history books. The good news? You’re part of history. The bad news? It’s going to feel like you’re on the edge of the world.

NOTE: I want to be wrong about what I’m seeing for this month. I wanted to be wrong with CO🦠😷D in 2020, the insurrection in 2021 and the crazy weather events of 2022. I hope the 3^rd week of this month awakens the New Earth for solving the difficult problems we’re facing. Also, I hope it doesn’t ignite powerful and violent forces.

Thank you for reading & sharing with family and friends.

Do You Want to Know the Star Story of Your Greatest Success?

Post author By Kim Woods
Post date February 22, 2023
No Comments on Do You Want to Know the Star Story of Your Greatest Success?

The Star Story

This star story focuses on leadership, discipline and hard choices (Saturn), imagination, emotion and transcendence (Pisces) and health, food and work (Virgo) to prepare you for the morning of March 7^th when Saturn enters Pisces within the hour of the Virgo Full Moon.

With these huge planetary forces, the influences come over days and weeks, so are being felt now. However, the exact dates are often momentous. Certainly, as there’s no turning back once the configuration is complete.

First, Saturn

Saturn’s ultimate quest is integrity.

Saturn is a tough teacher bringing you to your highest achievement and greatest works.

Saturn is the task master, traffic cop and illustrious engineer of structure and logic. He adores doing the right thing and is the captain of integrity. He moves slowly, grinding you down until you’ve become a sharpened tool for your own good. Dealing successfully with him, requires patience and virtuous intention while wrangling with him fuels frustration and often tears.

Believe me, it’s better to deal with Saturn than tangle with him. If you tangle with Saturn, he’ll win and you’ll lose, while working with him helps you both win.

Words associated with Saturn are: responsibility, authority, leadership, maturity, form, structure, tolerance, effort, role model, dignity, self-respect, integrity, tradition and stoic, aloof, cold.

Next, Pisces

Pisces quest is spirituality.

Pisces is the last of the zodiac signs and concludes the path through the other 11 signs. You come back into wholeness with Pisces. Your soul breathes, your heart sings and your body rests.

Pisces is the dissolution of structure, boundaries and order. Pisces is soft, expansive and ethereal, allowing you to melt into a hazy, dreamy state. You can get lost in the vagueness, lulling yourself into a wakeful sleep. Think scrolling endlessly on social media, binging on Netflix or imbibing too much. Pisces says, “Everything’s fine. There’s nothing to do. Don’t worry about it.”

Saturn’s been on steroids since the end of 2017, so going with the flow after the last 6 years feels heavenly. Easing into the tender side of life softens the edges and the relief is intoxicating. Take respite while pursuing the intuitive, creative aspects of life.

Words associated with Pisces are: receptive, imaginative, empathetic, fluid, sensitive, psychic, gentle, soulful, artistic, and overwhelmed, deceptive, escapist.

Finally, the Full Moon

Virgo’s aim is to embody the highest potential.

Virgo is tidy, service-oriented and biddable. Virgo is aware of what’s going on in nearly every aspect of life. She sees how things are and knows how they should be. She strives to fill in those gaps to make everything perfect. Virgo loves to help others, while sometimes overlooking herself. She’s also a hard taskmaster. She pursues to the point of exhaustion, so cautions herself by making health a priority. Discernment is a super power of Virgo when she’s connected, otherwise she’s anxious and overcritical.

Words associated with Virgo are: orderly, organized, detailed, humble, analytical, helpful, hard-working, skillful, healthy and nagging, critical, perfectionist.

The Combination

Saturn urges you to do the things you don’t want to do, so you finish your work before you relax, eat your vegetables and not just sugary treats. You roll up your sleeves and tackle your to-do list, instead of scrolling mindlessly on your phone for hours. Pisces is the opposite. Pisces beckons you to let it all go and be swept away with your idle musings.

The influence of Pisces on Saturn either heightens creativity, blends the sweetness of life with its success and gives you ease while pursuing your dreams. Or, this combination serves to deceive you to bask in false glory, join others on an elusive journey or follow those who persuade with lies and deception.

Virgo’s participation, while short-lived, flavors the energies at the outset. Work, health and service are involved in the Saturn-Pisces 2 ½ year odyssey.

Your Star Chart

What does all of this mean for you?

The stars in the sky interact with each other during their spins and cycles, yet they also interact with you through your natal or birth chart. Your birth chart is a picture of the stars the minute you were born, representing the life you long to live. Your birth stars depict your signatures of love, money and success and your expressions of bravery, mastery and destiny.

As Saturn enters Pisces, the effects are worldwide, affecting everyone on the planet. Yet everyone feels this star configuration differently, depending on where Pisces is on your chart.

Phrases associated with your Star Chart are: map of potential, what you might become, your chosen life, pathway to you, process for your growth.

Steps for You

This is the purpose of this entire guide. First, you’ll want to get your natal or birth chart. If you don’t have one, you need your date, time and place of birth. The astro.com site will run your chart for free. Once you do, you’ll get a circle with a bunch of hieroglyphics. No worries, this article explains it all.

Step #1: Get Your Star Chart

Go to this astrology site and fill in your information. Here’s a screen shot of the entry page. Input your information and click continue.

Step #2: Select Transits

Once you input your information and click continue, you’ll have your natal chart. Click on the blue transits button to get the stars in the sky.

Step #3: Find Saturn & Your House Number

You’ll get a picture with green symbols outside of the circle. These are the stars in the sky called transits.

On your star chart, look for the green ♄ Saturn, which is outside the circle. It should be near ♓ Pisces. Saturn doesn’t enter Pisces until March 7^th, so depending upon when you’re reading this, the ♄ will be near Pisces.
Once you find the ♄, move into the center of the chart until you get a house number.
Note the number.

In the example above, the house number is 5. Here’s another example below, where the house number is 9.

Saturn in the Houses

Look at your own chart. Note the house number. Once you have your house number, refer to the Saturn in Pisces table below. Find the number and read the description.

The planet is the energy, the sign is the flavoring and the house is the behavior or action in your life. The higher expression is goal to fulfill your highest potential and the lower one is what you sink into during times of stress.

I’ve interpreted everything for you. 😉

House	Saturn in Pisces
1	Higher expression: Your leadership style is called into question. Compassion, sensitivity and idealism are necessary to engage your team and followers. Your style is softer and more empathic. Your success depends on creativity and intuition for the next few years. Get real with what’s true for you. Being authentic is the key to getting what you want. Lower expression: You feel pressed upon by others and absorb the negative vibes around you. You lose yourself and fall prey to moodiness, displeasure, and perhaps victimhood. Stand in your own gifts and be certain of your life purpose. If you can’t do this on your own, hire someone as a guide or mentor.
2	Higher expression: The way you create resources is muted and your value is blurred. Focus on your heart to create confidence and connections based on your inner wisdom and less on outside influences. This is tricky as Pisces lures you into thinking everything is going great when it may not be. Pay attention to your instincts and let your internal compass guide you. This time can be empowering if you let it. Lower expression: Limits to resources make you optimize your connections and rank your priorities. Be wary of too-good-to-be-true money schemes. Your ability to make money is hindered by doubt, confusion and a lack of motivation. Take actions steps toward doing something to bring money to you.
3	Higher expression: Saturn asks you to get really clear on how you communicate, teach and inspire others. Saturn wants you to develop a routine to connect to your higher self and use its guidance to find your true voice. Take a healing workshop and think about folding it into how you connect with others. Now is the time to roll up your sleeves and present yourself to the world. Lower expression: Lack of focus, inattention to details and loss of scheduled appointments makes you scattered and frazzled. Your memory may be lacking too. This is frustrating and makes you impatient. Take more detailed notes, double-check your appointments and dot your I’s and cross your T’s.
4	Higher expression: You love your quiet time and want to stay close to home. Take advantage of being home by creating a home-based business or redesigning your spaces. Make your home a place where friends and family meet. Dive into your ancestry or family roots to find healing. Genealogy and family story becomes appealing. Lower expression: You become isolated from others by staying home and ignoring others outreach for socializing. Your isolation makes you doubt other’s motivations, so you further your disconnection. You sleep more, perhaps eat too much to self-soothe and spend the next few years feeling depleted and low.
5	Higher expression: Karmic healing is available to you for the next few years, so notice who comes into your life right now. Falling in love and having crushes take on a long-term and serious view. You also feel creative, playful and expressive, when you discipline yourself to stay in the imaginative mood and generate gorgeous creations. Lower expression: You’re confused about what you’re looking for in your love affairs and are willing to accept less than you deserve. Put your antennae up to avoid lovers, crushes and friends pushing you to put their needs and desires before your own. At the same time, stay open to widening your perceptions on how you express yourself.
6	Higher expression: Work, work, work. Take steps to create clarity in your work life to take right action toward achieving your life purpose. See the big picture and take strategic steps to reach your highest potential. Leadership pursues you, so step into it. If it involves mentorship, say YES. It looks good on you. Lower expression: Stress impacts your body more than usual, so take care of yourself by allowing time for relaxation and rejuvenation. Health issues may arise, seemingly out of nowhere. Get ahead of any looming issues by seeking healing. Develop a regular routine to keep yourself healthy. Also, disruptions to routines and schedules throw you off your rhythm. Be patient and go with the flow.
7	Higher expression: The next few years are an intensive in compassionate commitment. Take the high road without losing yourself. Maturity is called for as each of your relationships experiences opportunity for growth. Acceptance and allowance open your ability to foster connection. Lower expression: Others seek you out to help them in inappropriate ways. They expect too much, pushing you to the edge. Uncertainty in your close relationships has you vying for control and mitigating the opportunity to soften the exchange with those closest to you.
8	Higher expression: Choose the ways you love to be intimate and relish the wealth you have in your life. Shoring up your closest bonds and treasuring your wealth is the priority for the next few years. Relating to finances, pay off your debts, save your money and research solid investments. Your shared foundations can be strengthened. Lower expression: The mysteries require proof as practicality comes crashing down on the etheric, magical side of life. Intimacy halts, awaiting your approval to let that person get closer to you. Feeling separate and alone in your closest relationships creates isolation and depressive tendencies. Focus on sharing and caring, not on control.
9	Higher expression: Saturn pulls your desire for travel and adventurous explorations toward pilgrimages and spiritual quests. To feed your soul, deepen your knowledge and philosophical view on life by taking classes, talking to others and opening your mind to new and different ways. Plan on going to summits, conferences and other educational trips that feed your intuitive expression. Lower expression: Ambiguity arises in regards to your pathway of discovery for what intrigues you. You question everything about your foundational perspectives and the meaning of life. Your quest is filled with confusion and doubt. Drop into your heart and make decisions based on your intuition and wisdom. Use Saturn’s discipline to be discerning.
10	Higher expression: You’re stepping into the new way of leadership in a very big way. It’s time for intuitive wisdom to help you define your role in the world. This creates a solid foundation and ever-lasting impact on your success. Make plans, take steps and make the most of steady action. Roll up your sleeves and get to work. Mastering your inner knowing and demonstrating it to the world is your aim. Lower expression: Your authenticity is tested as people may not see you for who you are. This difference between your integrity and others becomes glaring. Saturn pushes you to be true to your intuitive side, regardless of consequence or stature. The pressure to do something easier is high. Being true to yourself is everything. There is no lesser alternative. Gather your sense of self, your purpose and direction. Avoid straying off your true path.
11	Higher expression: Strategizing and planning for your future entails leveraging your strengths and gifts. Widen your perspective to appreciate your softer qualities. Colorful and eclectic people come into your life and you enjoy their presence. Connect authentically with people who share these interests. Enjoy the spiritual lift in your social circles. Lower expression: Reality and fantasy become blurred when envisioning your future. Dreams take on a vague edge and pursuing them without discernment would be foolish. Taking time to plan your next steps is critical to achieving lasting success.
12	Higher expression: Spirituality is your new focus and becomes central in your life. Let the mysteries guide you to yourself and help others discover their connection to the unknown. Explore your intuitive gifts and look for your hidden strengths. Allow them to come to the fore. Lower expression: The unfamiliar and the unknown is uncomfortable for you right now. Saturn presses you to explain the realities of life, but Pisces wants you to dissolve into the spiritual side. The balance between the two is possible when you expand into possibility instead of an existential crisis.

Saturn Returns

For those with natal Saturn in Pisces, you’re coming up to your Saturn return.

If it’s your first one (28 – 30 years old), then you’ll be required to embrace the holistic sense of what it means to be a role model in your life. You’re being looked on as a mature, responsible adult with tremendous compassion. Be compassionate to yourself too.

If it’s your 2^nd one (58 – 60 years old), you’re being asked to become the wise elder. To be filled with the wonder and curiosity of life, while leading others to become more of themselves.

Refer to the house number to determine the particular actions Saturn requires of you. You’ve been living with these energies your entire life, so they are vastly familiar. The next few years adds a boost to the ability to achieve mastery.

Conclusion

Pisces

dreaminess and tender expressions offset the hardness of Saturn for the next few years, creating a lift in your ability to achieve satisfying success.

expands Saturn’s quest for owning your expertise.

softens the edges of Saturn’s single-mindedness.

However, Pisces also creates delusion and confusion which can hold you back from any initiation to push toward your future.

It’s best not to do that.

In 2023, the window opens for the next decade. Losing the first few years puts you at a disadvantage if you succumb to the lure of Piscean illusions. Success is attached to the Saturn expression and he’s the toughest one to get moving, making this the year to take meaningful action.

Join me for a LIVE on YouTube on February 28^th at 11:00 am ET. We’ll talk about making the most of this configuration.

SUPPORT TOOLS

The oracle cards bring insight into what’s coming for the month. They give your mind something to focus on and remember as you go through the days and weeks. You can ponder the card or go into the guidance in the book when you need more than mental reminders.

The power of animal and crystal energy are easy to employ to help you create the success and satisfaction you desire. Spirit animals are always willing to assist. Simply call on the animal to bring it into focus and ponder its meaning.

For crystals, grab the crystal and put it on your desk, purse or kitchen table. You want to align with your success and this month’s stone helps you do that.

For flower essences, put 3 drops into water 3 times a day and feel the gentle support for your body and emotions.

Oracle card: #44 – Delegate

Personally, look to the numerology of this card as 4 + 4 = 8. The blessings of support and creation of opportunity is indicated. You’ve outgrown some aspects of your life. Which ones? Some aspects may be let go while others require someone else to support you. Ask and receive.

For business, delegating creates opportunities for others and as you’re seeking opportunity for yourself, it makes sense to create it for others. Your power is being held back by YOU. Step into effective leadership by letting go of control. Open your heart to the realization that your business needs this even more than you do (and you need it A LOT.)

Crystal: Herkimer Diamond

Herkimer Diamond clears the chakras and increases the flow of spiritual energy as it activates and opens the crown and third eye chakras. This is great for knowing your life purpose and connecting to Universal support.

This stone connects to your dreams and helps you remember them. It imprints energies in careful harmony to increase your understanding of the essential being within you. It allows you to accept and appreciate all within you without having to become anything. You are already what you are seeking.

Herkimer Diamond is the perfect stone to allow yourself to be magically and unapologetically you.

Flower Essence: Hornbeam

The energy movement is unfamiliar as it’s been 3 years since these forces have been felt. Your emotional body could use the support to realign your external world with your internal life.

Become revitalized and mentally renewed with Hornbeam. This flower essences uplifts, energizes and motivates. The dread of listless activity and boring routines threaten to completely exhaust you. Funnily enough through, once you relieve the structured approach with a change of activity, this fresh perspective lifts your attitude. Hornbeam helps dissipate mental fatigue and creates energy for new discovery.

Spirit Animal: Peacock

Peacock is filled with grace, perspective and good fortune. The peacock is showy, lucky and flashy, yet also wise, powerful and regal. With the peacock, you are protected at all times. Call on peacock when you require discernment, need a boost in self-esteem or want a guardian for any and all power plays.

STAR DANCE

Big Star Events:

All planets are direct

Week 1: January 30^th – February 5^th

Access the genius, problem-solving and magnetic forces for connection and resolution. Your mind activity is high, while you ideate and imagine your best life. These energetic forces feel unsettling, but also new and exciting.

Avoid outbursts, tensions and power plays. The uncertainty and chaos cause worry and stress, pushing you beyond your limits. Change is in the air forcing you to make decisions and prioritize your focus.

Tips: Be bold and daring when making connection. Follow your instincts when resolving issues. Connect to stillness for grounding and centering.

Week 2: February 6^th – 12^th

Access originality and zany energies to become the person you’ve longed to be. There are new ways for old issues, particularly emotional ones. Sparkling, loving and healthy relationships get a boost. Serious and deep solutions to complex problems become evident.

Avoid manipulative and controlling thoughts. Your mind is running amuck and has been for months. Competitive thoughts led to judgmental ones. Holding onto grudges is entirely too easy. Complications arise when defending against healthy release.

Tips: Be wary of the stories you tell yourself as becoming too attached to them leads you astray. Seek healing to find relief. Say yes to like-minded people who lift you up and may you feel positive and lively.

Week 3: February 13^th – 19^th

Happy Birthday Pisces!

On February 18^th, there’s a softness in the air. Everyone gets to dream, imagine and create when the Sun enters Pisces. Spending time with loved ones, with spirit and with artistic endeavors are beautiful ways to celebrate Piscean energy.

Access powerful love, attraction and connection. Harmony and peace reign as ease and relief are the objectives for the week. Tenderness, romance and creativity balance hard work, diligent efforts and strong discipline. Intense and deep feelings support committed pursuits.

Avoid isolation and stoicism. Powerful feelings deepen the longings of your heart, but may war with your mind. Your mind is still on high alert always looking for protective actions. Defensive postures inhibiting solutions are as likely as mutually fortunate outcomes.

Tips: Listen to your heart’s wisdom. Make strides in developing your intuition through creative activities. Take advantage of the powerful forces at play in love and success. Get romantic.

Week 4: February 20^th – 26^th

Access energies for quick-thinking and flexibility to invite different perspectives. Opportunities are creating on-the-fly this week. The desire to break free supports efforts to expand and grow. Calculated bold actions manifest positive financial and relationship connections.

Avoid feelings of being trapped by others and crossed communications with them. Only you influence your freedom to live life as you truly desire. Holding onto the past becomes impossible when it doesn’t align with your future.

Tips: Open you mind. Be flexible, especially when dealing with others who may or may not agree with you. Access your brave heart to take action, even when it seems selfish.

Big Star Events

When all of the planets are moving in seemingly direct motion, the air seems to pulse with activity. The star forces put the Earth and all of her inhabitants on full throttle. Things speed up, making you restless, sleepless and untethered. Grounding, centering and balancing are crucial daily habits. Getting back to basics and forming regular routines are your best bets to harness this incredible energy.

MOON MAGIC

The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. Here are the phases and what you should do:

The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.

Full Moon: Your Heart Whispers

Details: Full Moon @ 1:30 pm ET Sun in Aquarius & Moon in Leo at 16°

Break into you by listening to your heart and following its wisdom. New ways of being feel more available to you now when you let go of restraints. What would you do to live the life of your dreams? Your heart whispers the answers. Will you slow down and take a moment or two in stillness so you can hear them?

New Moon: Only Love is Real

Details: New Moon @ 2:09 am ET Sun & Moon in Pisces at 1°

There’s great energy for inventions, especially those that help the Earth. The climate gets positive focus and attention. New thoughts and excellent news herald the future. Relationships experience wholeness, filled with love and forces for transformation. Pursuing healthy connections and seeking truth in each of them supports you in the months to come.

INTUITIVE TYPE FORECASTS

Wise Strategist – You’re not loving this month as the acceleration of activity feels chaotic and all of the romantic pursuits seem frivolous. Yet, merely sticking to your plans closes you to opportunities. Open your mind to refining your plans as new information becomes available. These new insights contribute positively to your growth and success. Carve out time on fulfillment and satisfaction to fortify yourself and strengthen your position.

Intuitive Visionary – You’re swept away with all of the mental acuity available to you this month. You may ignore your heart’s desire as you ideate, see patterns and envision solutions. Invent and seek solutions with your heart as well as your mind. The magic involves both and lifts others up as well as you. Your following becomes enamored with you when you do.

Collaborative Explorer – This month is made for you. Hooray! The connections, ability to negotiate harmoniously and the impulse to see things from various perspectives is finally available to everyone, not just you. Setting time to explore your heart and its creations may be hard to come by as you’re sought after by everyone. Taking time for you keeps you centered and makes things easier over the next few months.

Ruling Warrior – Leaning into your heart feels uncomfortable and unfamiliar, so your tendency will be to focus only on your finances and making sales. Doing this, however, makes you lose out on the magic of lasting growth that would set you up for the next decade. Allowing the sweetness of the month to penetrate your awareness and actions creates the solid foundation for ease and satisfaction as well as success. It’s in your best interest.

Creative Superstar – All of the creativity in the air has your heart singing and your mind swirling. Being discerning on what, when and how to pursue all of your ideas can only be ascertained through your heart. When you allow your heart to lead, you set yourself up for your best future. Spending time sweetly and tenderly heightens connection and joy in relationship. Make time for yourself and your loved ones.

Loving Alchemist – You love every minute of the love and intimacy pervading the energies this month. Being sexy and romantic feeds your natural power. Dip into the well of alignment between you and the stars to gain access to wealth, health and success. Focus on the long-term and commit to the daily, even when things feel out of control due to the fast pace. Go with the flow for the best results.

BOTTOM LINE

This month may be the best one of the year. Knowing how you want to fill yourself up and getting back to basics gives you an advantage for the remainder of the year. Success is in sight; however, love is at the fore. Remembering that love has the same energetic influence as prosperity helps your mind allow these intentions and experiences of love.

Thank you for reading & sharing with family and friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

The power of animal and crystal energy are easy to employ to help you create the success and satisfaction you desire. Spirit animals are always willing to assist. Simply call on the animal to bring it into focus and ponder its meaning.

Oracle Card: #47 – Optimize

Sharpen the arrow of your desires by completely aligning your desires with your resources. You’re on a treasure hunt, so take the time to solidify the areas that bring you ease, joy and abundance. Cut out or tone down those areas that create struggle, frustration or overwhelm. You are the treasure hunt, so what works for you – works for your success.

Crystal: Bronzite

A combination of grace and courage, this stone instills fortitude to deal with negativity, confusion and indecisiveness. Use bronzite for clarity, certainty and discernment, especially for making choices about your true-life purpose. Additionally, this is an excellent stone for emotional and physical harmony.Flower Essence: Chicory

Chicory seems to be overly done for most people as the description speaks to smothering others and being excessively needy. However, the core of the chicory flower essence is satisfaction, fulfillment and offering without expectation. This flower essence is essential for effective manifestation activities. Giving freely from a well that’s full is the maximum peak of successful manifesting abilities. When giving from an empty position, the energy stretches and repels healthy reciprocity. Reach for chicory when you’re feeling empty, unloved or lacking the nurturance you desire.

Spirit Animal: Scarab Beetle

The scarab beetle signals that you’ve come to a crossroads with a choice for growth and enlightenment. There are conditions:

Be true to yourself as you go this layer of transformation.
Rely on your inner strength to stay focused on your intentions for the new year.
Be diligent toward your goals and fortune is yours.
Seek community for connection, not persuasion.

STAR DANCE

Big Star Events: (in chronological order)

December 1^st – Venus out of bounds
December 20^th – Jupiter in Aries
December 21^st – Solstice w. Sun in Capricorn
December 23^rd – Chiron direct
December 29^th – Mercury retrograde

Week 1: November 28^th – December 4^th

Access the honest, earnest and respectful energy available this week. People are being authentic and direct when revealing their true thoughts and feelings. Change is in the air, so you may be pushed out of your comfort zone. As always, you can decide how you want to respond.

Avoid hurt feelings, needy expectations and confusing conversations. It’s difficult to figure out where others are coming from and more interaction adds to underlying insecurities. Unstable relationships are shaken and people succumb to arm-twisting to gain control. Erratic behaviors make it hard to understand what’s happening.

Tips: Put your head down and focus on your priorities. If you must interact with others, be as honest and as kind as you can be when having important conversations.

Week 2: December 5^th – 11^th

Access the drive, determination and confidence to be successful. Connections and collaborations can be fun. High-level strategy and big plans align with the flow of the stars. Excellent leadership techniques are noticeable and sound investments are available this week.

Avoid indulgent, complacent or lazy tendencies at the beginning and the end of the week. Glossing over details and making mistakes is easy. In the middle of the week, aggression, aggravation and anger take root making you want to compete and knock others to the side.

Tips: ‘It should be easier’ is your vibe, yet taking things seriously and expending effort are the keys to achieve the success you desire. Now’s the time to set yourself up for 2023.

Week 3: December 12^th – 18^th

Access commitment, practicality and goal-oriented energies. There are interesting and satisfying connections coming into your space. The mosaic of life shifts and turns, changing your point of view. This is a great time to learn new things.

Avoid vicissitude and low energy deceiving you into sitting back and letting time slip by, marking time until the holidays. Stopping the natural flow of reciprocity in relationships. Imbalances are possible now.

Tips: Take stock of what you want and ask others for support. Seek connections that are helpful to getting you the results you desire. Use this week to solidify your foundation.

Week 4: December 19^th – 25^th

Access positive energies for love and money. Sparks of confidence, positive thoughts and soaring feelings propel achievement and success. Financial well-being, desired impacts and good fortune are at the fore.

Avoid taking unnecessary risks, blind leaps of faith and greedy actions. Power plays and selfish pursuits present themselves. Ignoring the healing and supportive energy available this week.

Tips: Make time for working toward your goals – creative and practical. This is a time for dreams and actions. Even though it’s the holiday season, you can make progress. Actions this week pay off for the entire year.

Week 5: December 26^th – January 1^st

Access love, romance and sexy vibes. Sensuality, compassion and sweet tender embraces are the norm. Desires and passions run deep. Style, image and flair get a blast of the new. Socializing and entertaining still feels good, even though the holidays are coming to an end.

Avoid overthinking and over analyzing. Stopping the flow of dreamy connections. Doubting how things will come together for you.

Tips: Write love letters and have intense conversations about what you want out of love. Journal to reflect on your dreams of romance. Take time to revisit and review what you love about your love life.

As a reminder, here are Do’s & Don’ts for Mercury Retrograde (12/29/22 – 1/18/23):

MOON MAGIC

The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. Here are the phases and what you should do:

The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.

Full Moon: Celebrate with Others

Details: Sun in Sagittarius & Moon in Gemini December 7^th @ 11:08 pm ET

Balancing your point of view with others is easy right now. Your mind and heart opens to connection and understanding. Dream and celebrate your work and love life. Create a new style or image for the holidays.

New Moon: Success is Here

Details: Sun & Moon in Capricorn December 23^rd @ 5:17 am ET

It’s the new you. Success, good fortune, prospects abound. Connect to your values, intentions and opportunities. Make time for you and also for your work. Putting your pillars in place for the new year support you throughout 2023.

INTUITIVE TYPE FORECASTS

Wise Strategist – Make a list of things that are working really well for you and then make one for those things that are gnawing at you. Plan ways to get rid of the gnawing list and to amplify the working one. After you have your list, take a step back and look at it from a higher perspective. Create detailed objectives and develop routines to make strides toward your goals this month. Wrap up 2022 on a high note.

Intuitive Visionary – Avoid taking big risks and getting swept up with the forces for success and achievement. Pause and take a few moments when opportunities present themselves. Review new ideas with your current goals. Then, add more definition to your evergreen solutions and simplify your latest ideas. Simplify them once, twice and three times. 2023 requires straightforward solutions.

Collaborative Explorer – Being swept up with your social obligations and holiday affairs keeps you from focusing on your future. Take the time to conduct an interview with yourself to answer how you value yourself, seek opportunities and desire to be loved. Carve out work space and firm up your themes, intentions and pillars for the next year.

Ruling Warrior – You’re being tasked with leadership, leadership, leadership. Distracting connections throw themselves in front of you, seemingly every day. Cull through the ones that don’t fit with your new goals. Once you’ve taken the time to stop and set your strategy, everything falls into place. Get more detailed than usual to help you navigate through 2023.

Creative Superstar – You adore the energy this month. Love and romance compete with work, but you can float from one thing to the other seamlessly. Your swirling fun and social plans lift you up, inspiring you to buckle down as necessary. Cut through stale ideas and regretful tendencies by doing one thing that’s been hanging over your head for the last few weeks.

Loving Alchemist – The holiday season fills you up by connecting with family and loved ones. You may want to bask in the intimate moments provided by the entertaining and social whirlwind. Do so and also make time to fuel your dreams in the world. You have the ability to add power to your dreams, but only when you roll up your sleeves and commit fully to them. This is the time. If you miss out this month, it gets progressively more difficult to get back on track.

BOTTOM LINE

December ends a difficult year and sets you up for success in 2023 when you take advantage of the positive energies and stay aligned with your true-life purpose. Remembering the themes and intentions from the top of the year serves you tremendously. Hint: Value, Alignment and Momentum. These give way to Power, Success and Love in 2023.

Thank you for reading and sharing with family and friends.

Seriously, it would be great for you to share. Everyone benefits.

As always, wishing you joy,

No Comments on November 2022: 3 powerful ways to heal your ability to trust your heart

Why the Stars?

The stars either work with you or against you and it all depends on whether you know what they’re up to or not. This monthly forecast sets you up to take advantage of these powerful forces.

What’s Inside?

We have so much for you this month, read on for:

NOVEMBER IN A NUTSHELL

This month is a roller coaster filled with challenges, stress and sudden changes and low energy and confusion. There’s a push and pull without momentum. Be patient and stay determined. Don’t procrastinate, roll up your sleeves and resolve issues as they arise.

3 POWERFUL WAYS

…to open to your heart’s wisdom:

Follow the process outlined through the #6 Desire oracle card.
Combine the flower essences from the last 3 months – agrimony, olive and hornbeam to drop into your heart, gain energy and ignite your heart’s direction.
Learn your soul and ancestral imprints through the Akashic records to gain clarity and understanding of how and why you do the things you do.

LIVE EVENTS

To get your weekly forecast by intuitive type, go to our FB Power Up group or connect to our YouTube channel by clicking here.

For Members Only:

If you’d like to join our Empowerment Membership for $48 per month, click here for all the details.

Special Workshop:

Every month, we offer a special magical workshop in our monthly membership. This month’s workshop is on finding your soul and ancestral imprint through the Akashic Records. It’s a not-to-be-missed.

Support Tools

For crystals, grab the crystal and put it on your desk, purse or kitchen table. You want to align with your success and this month’s stone helps you do that.

For flower essences, put 3 drops into water 3 times a day and feel the gentle support for your body and emotions.

Oracle Card: #6 – Desire

This card targets your heart and brings your heart song and soul inspiration to the fore. Fueling passionate desire as the pathway for decision-making. Unsure of how to do that, here are two options:

Close your eyes and imagine yourself being whisked away for a grand adventure.
1. Where are you going?
2. Who are you with?
3. How long will you be gone?
4. Let the elements of your adventure come into your mind.
5. Jot them down if you’d like to remember your desirous state.
Do a search on Pinterest and look for eye candy.
1. What pops out at you?
2. Make note and fuel up your desirous body.
3. Use the monthly crystal to ground your desires.

Crystal: Hematite

Hematite is an excellent stone to move the energy from your mind and into your heart and body. It grounds and protects. This crystal strengthens your connection to the Earth. It dissolves negativity, stimulates willpower and imparts confidence.

Flower Essence: Hornbeam

Spirit Animal: Koi Fish

This spirit animal represents achievement, new opportunities and good luck in success and finances. The symbol of the koi fish, as shown above, also works to imprint luck into your energy field. The koi fish wants you to find new opportunities, even if these opportunities are ones you’ve left incomplete. Finish what you’ve started with patience and determination. Go with the flow and stay calm to remain prosperous.

STAR DANCE

Big Star Events: (in chronological order)

November 8^th – Full Moon/Total Lunar Eclipse
November 19^th – Mars Rx square Neptune Rx
November 23^rd – Jupiter stations direct
November 28^th – Mars Rx trine Saturn

Week 1: October 31 – November 6

Mars is out of bounds and retrograde this month. The world is in for a huge and elongated jolt over the next few months. Things are ignited and powered as follows:

Access the surprises and delights of being in bonded relationships, whether with friends, romantic partners or business connections. New and unexpected circumstances arise in love and money.

Avoid pressures to spend lavishly or behave indulgently.

Tips: Cooperating, negotiating and developing meaningful connections brings positive results. Careful spending and healthy routines increase physical and financial wellness.

Week 2: November 7 – 13

Access the ability to dive deeply into work and develop healthy routines. Instinctive and intuitive skills are available. Social justice issues and volunteerism go hand-in-hand. Strategic leanings and big picture views come into form.

Avoid deceptive, distracting and anxious tendencies. Radical behaviors, impulsive moves and cross-communications are prevalent. Limits and challenges create heaviness and isolating beliefs.

Tips: Patience and determination help you through this week. Trusting your instincts and intuitive nudges are better bets than following others’ perceptions. Double checking details minimize losing track of ground you’ve gained. Creative pursuits get a boost of energy. Spending time alone or with close loved ones are infinitely more positive than socializing.

Week 3: November 14 – 20

Access provocative thinking, insightful solutions and lucky connections. There’s fun, style and flair, including delights in love and finance. Solid business energies, opportunities and creative innovations withstand pressures to defend original findings and positions.

Avoid strong-arming and power plays to convince you that your feelings and instincts aren’t true for you. Low energy causes confusion and accidents. Comparisons bring jealousy and frustration. Gossip and scandal create drama and distractions.

Tips: Take your time and go slowly to discriminate between what’s true for you and what’s false. Stand up. Help yourself and others by being authentic, even if it’s not popular. Focus on business dealings that have been in play for some time now. Use your power and position to improve your situation. Improve relationships through honest communication and open heartedness.

Week 4: November 21 – 27

Access independence, growth and optimistic leanings. Ability to complete projects by drawing on strength, ambition and determination. Dependability and action-oriented forces compel the outpouring of a steadfast focus on the overall mission.

Avoid risk-taking, carelessness and lack of commitment. Being glib and prone to exaggerations, while staying on the surface and take advantage of other’s naiveté. Thoughts of inadequacy or circumstances of incompetence in others, create feelings of abandonment and isolation.

Tips: Allow space for individuality and originality. Give plenty of encouragement to those under your guidance. Make time for fun and frivolity. Hope and faith are the mantras for this week.

Big Star Events:

Jupiter Direct

On November 23^rd, Jupiter stations direct after a 4-month period beginning on July 28^th. Endings and beginnings has been the theme of this Jupiter retrograde period since Jupiter started the period in Aries and ends it in Pisces, signaling the beginning and the end of the zodiac. Combining Jupiter’s plunge with the star clang between Saturn and Uranus throughout 2021 and three quarters of 2022, you’re required to choose what you take into your future and what you leave behind.

Jupiter is an opportunity creator, a light, a shining force, so there are opportunities for growth through your inner reflection as to what brings you happiness. By shining a light on your shadow side, you create clarity on what’s important for your happiness and what’s not. As Jupiter stations direct, your inner choice becomes obvious in the world. With this particular Jupiter retrograde, the Moon has harmonized the good-luck planet on each end of the plunge. Even more fortune and success is available to you.

Mercury Out of Bounds

There are times the planets rebel against the gravitational pull of the Sun. When they do, they become a somewhat crazy version of themselves and impact you in unforeseen ways. From November 23 to December 21, you have the opportunity for an explosion of innovative thoughts, excellent speaking faculties and talented performance abilities. Or, you can fall into exaggeration, obsessions and miscommunications.

Neptune in Pisces Square Mars in Gemini

On November 19th, Mars Rx (retrograde) in Gemini squares Neptune Rx in Pisces. This confrontation makes it extremely difficult to get motivated and the resulting inactivity ramps up fears about everything. There seems to be no way forward. Breathing relieves the tension as does softening into the mysterious ways of living.

Mars in Gemini Trine Saturn in Aquarius

On November 28th, Mars Rx and Saturn are in agreement, giving relief to the overall heaviness. The respite, even though temporary, provides energy to get things done and mental focus for a boost of clarity. The addition of emotional balance makes this configuration a truly positive one.

MOON MAGIC

The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. Here are the phases and what you should do:

The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.

Full Moon/Total Lunar Eclipse: WTF

Details: Beaver Full Moon/Total Lunar Eclipse on November 8^th @ 6:02 am ET

Typically, eclipses signal the hidden and the revealed as things go underground during the current ecliptic cycle and become revealed from past ones. This eclipse may not incur the revealing side of the equation, but only contains the hidden. There’s so much obfuscation, muddling, meddling and otherwise manipulating in this configuration, the truth may never be uncovered.

The best advice I have for this Full Moon Eclipse is to trust your instincts over the impressions of others.

I’ve also been featured in POPSUGAR talking about the Eclipse and Beaver Full Moon. You can read my article in POPSUGAR here.

New Moon: Shining Force

Details: New Moon in Sagittarius on November 23^rd @ 5:57 pm ET

Hope and good cheer ring in this New Moon. If you’ve taken the leap of faith in the last few months, this New Moon heralds new beginnings filled with good luck and fortune. Reflecting on the changes and celebrating how far you’ve come is a great way to mark this milestone. If you’ve held back and resisted these last few months, this New Moon beckons you to move toward your future with less baggage. This is about you – you get to decide without interference or influence from others. Your mind still isn’t your friend, it’s your heart. Listen to its wisdom.

INTUITIVE TYPE FORECASTS

Wise Strategist – Your mind goes wild this month. You want to get things done. You’ve adored the energies in September and October for getting through your lists and now suddenly, everything seems to stop. If you stayed focused on the big picture, you’re in luck as this is the perfect time to review and tweak your strategy by adding connections and patterns to it. If you remained in the details, you’ll feel lost and insecure about what to do next. Review the plans you laid out a few months ago. Then, look at what jumps out at you. Use your instincts to determine your next move.

Intuitive Visionary – Amuck, amuck, amuck. Your mind goes in 20 different directions, almost completely eliminating your ability to get anything done. Use the crystal, oracle card and flower essence guidance all month to move your head’s energy into your heart. Fuel your desires by going back to your intentions from the beginning of the year. Focus on the seeds you’ve planted without creating more of the new. Deepen your study of subjects you’ve already discovered. This is a time for gathering and deepening of things already in progress. Removing new creations from your process isn’t your favorite, but you’ll discover the reasoning in 2023.

Collaborative Explorer – Snake oil salesman have your name picked out, targeting you for the ‘next greatest thing’. Going internally to discriminate what’s real and what’s false for you doesn’t satisfy your desire for connection. However, it’s imperative to discriminate this month. Make your mantra, “If it sounds too good to be true – it is too good to be true.” Think independently. Prioritize what truly matters to you by listening to your heartfelt desires. Return to your dreams for answers. Then choose your next steps wisely.

Ruling Warrior – You’re not happy the end goal is illusive, requiring you to take a leap of faith to get what you want. You’re also not happy you’ve got to let go of things no longer serving you. You feel you can carry old energies into your new life, but even with all of your power, you can’t. This isn’t a matter of fortitude and tenacity. It’s a matter of melting and allowing. The new energies are softer, collaborative and connecting. Learning how to navigate this new way of living and leading now changes the trajectory of your 2023 completely.

Creative Superstar – Spiraling out of control is such a possibility this month. You want so badly to connect everyone with your creations, you grow impatient when it doesn’t happen immediately. Others need time to make their decisions. Give them the space, but don’t let them give up the connection to you. Be intoxicating and provocative. Let them know what they’re missing out on. Have fun with it. For those creations that have grown stale, this month is a great time to add flair and finesse to your original designs.

Loving Alchemist – Things are confusing for most everyone and you want to jump in and save them as you can appreciate the depths of the energy and relieve the cloudiness of the mind. Here’s the thing – you’re not the savoir. Oh, that’s so hard to hear. Yes, you may know exactly what someone needs to do to help them, yet, until they ask – it’s not yours. Instead, use the powerful healing energy to help those who have asked or have paid you for it. Your clients will be ecstatic. If you’re not working with people in this way, seek healing yourself. Also, dive deeply into the mysteries. Now is the perfect time.

BOTTOM LINE

There’s incredibly powerful energy this month when you let your heart lead. Your mind has become the enemy, however, battling it isn’t the answer. Quieting the mind with fun and exciting rituals is your best bet. Go inward for the power you seek.

Thank you for reading and sharing with family and friends.

Seriously, it would be great for you to share. Everyone benefits.

For crystals, grab the crystal and put it on your desk, purse or kitchen table. You want to align with your success and this month’s stone helps you do that.

For flower essences, put 3 drops into water 3 times a day and feel the gentle support for your body and emotions.

Oracle Card: #28 Intend

The secret to achieving your intentions is to use both the magical and practical energies to make them come true:

Step #1. Get clear on what your intentions are for the remainder of this year.

Step #2. Set your intentions and charge them magically with the stars, crystal and guide energies.

Step #3. Place a magical representation of your intentions in plain sight.

Step #4. Make a plan to practically achieve your intentions.

Step #5. Make a wish for your intentions to the Universe.

Step #6. Tweak and adjust as the stars and your intuition indicate.

Step #7. Watch them come true and give great gratitude when they do.

Crystal: Orange Sapphire

Sapphire is a wisdom stone, the seeker of truth and the balancer of energies. Sapphire brings both calm and focus to the mind, which is absolutely necessary during the month of October. This stone also creates peace and restores balance in the body. It also stimulates self-expression. Orange sapphire adds a lift of joy, hope and connection that furthers sapphires natural tendencies. Grab this stone and use it as a worry stone for those stressful times and place it at your desk or in your purse for the entire month.

Flower Essence: Olive

Move from exhaustion to inner renewal with this flower essence as olive works its magic to open you up to yourself and tap into resources provided by Mother Earth. Your inner guidance is re-calibrated and your ability to achieve peace, strength and renewal is activated and integrated into your being.

Spirit Animal: Bee*

Bee represents your commitment to success while enjoying the sweetness of life. You’re thriving, industrious and capable, yet deliver succor to the world. You work well independently, but also as part of a team. Call on bee when you need cooperation from others to complete a task, desire tact & diplomacy or want to be in service to the world.* Bee was the spirit animal of 2020.

STAR DANCE

Big Star Events: (in chronological order)

Planets direct: Mercury October 2, Pluto October 8, Saturn direct October 23
Pluto Squares: October 19 & 20
New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse October 25
Jupiter back into Pisces October 28
Mars retrograde October 30 – January 12, 2023 @ Gemini 25- 8°
Mars out of bounds October 22 – May 5, 2023

Week 1: October 3 – 9

Access your power and readiness to take on the world. Things have been too slow for too long. Ensure you have your home life in order and then dive right in. This is your time.

Avoid the residual mind games and antics from Mercury retrograde, especially for Wise Strategists and Collaborative Explorers. This is the time for YOU, so walk away when others ask too much of you. You don’t have to say YES just because they asked.

Tips: Use your influence to create your desires. Debate. Negotiate. Calibrate your pathway to success if you haven’t already done so and get moving.

October 8^th – Pluto stations direct

You’re ready to come back out into the world after these last few months of gathering yourself, receiving healing and appreciating yourself at deeper levels. Pluto’s been asking you to release control by triggering you through others. Has she done her magic? Do you feel lighter, refreshed and energized? If not, you have more opportunities while she squares the Sun and Venus on the 19^th and 20^th and when the Sun illumes Scorpio from October 23^rd until November 22^nd.

Week 2: October 10 – 16

Access your flair for style and design. This is a time for beauty and love. Your heart knows what it wants and has a lot to say. Being open to your dreams, desires and satisfaction feels wonderful.

Avoid ill-fitting and tight feeling ideals, circumstances or relationships. Shrugging off the old and welcoming the new just feels right. Mid-week, there’s lots of gossip and scandal. Confusing thoughts and low energy fuel jealousy and deception.

Tips: Make a game plan for creating a new style – in life, love, beauty and success. Pay attention to the details to create stability as any changes can be long-lasting. Be a mentor to others who are struggling and looking to you for guidance. Most of all, leave the gossiping to others. You have too much to do for yourself to waste time getting caught up in dramas that aren’t even yours.

Week 3: October 17 – 23

Access your self-confidence, enthusiasm and strength in business and your personal life. There’s sexy romance at play this week as well as the ability to handle the details at work. Love and business get a big boost in equal measure.

Avoid power plays, jealousy and either wanting to control others or feeling defensive against others controlling you. Tensions and insecurities abound. Greed knows no bounds either as those in positions of power reach out to take, take, take. Entitlement becomes more normalized, while fierce advocacy for what’s right matches its energy.

Tips: Get social and/or get sexy and romantic with your partner, spouse or love interest to use up the excess energy this week. Roll up your sleeves and get to work. Seek common sense and logic to fight for what’s right.

October 23^rd – Saturn direct

As the Sun and Venus enter Scorpio and Mercury dances with Saturn, you feel ready to push things forward once again. The roadblocks and obstacles lessen, as you’ve streamlined and optimized your pathway over the last few months. With fewer priorities, you have momentum to drive those things that are really important to you. With this laser-guided focus, success is in sight.

Week 4: October 24 – 30

Access mental bursts of energy, critical thinking and decisiveness while your communicative abilities are heightened, giving you charisma, charm and influence. Your imagination ignites to bring dreamy love, calm and compassion. The energies provide access to the mysteries while prompting serious commitment to relationships and wealth creation.

Avoid giving up and losing your sense of what’s true for you. The cosmic forces ask you to determine what’s real and what’s fake, while complicating positions of power and influence. On the world stage, aggression, anger and extremes are the norm. Leadership, at every level, gets destabilized. Pursuing greed for greed’s sake is running out of runway.

Tips: Create quiet moments to catch your breath and reconnect with yourself. Seek guidance from those you trust. Take care when getting into debates with others. Stay in your lane and dive deeply into YOU.

Big Star Events

As I wrote in the annual forecast for these big star events:

October 28^th – Jupiter back into Pisces until December 20^th

In Pisces, Jupiter brings compassion, service-orientation and imagination. He’s creativity personified as well as lucky and easygoing. He brought a breath of fresh air, however brief, to 2021 as he danced back and forth between Aquarius and Pisces. Saturn and Uranus wrangled with the Jupiter in Pisces energy in 2021 and it does the same this year.

As Jupiter makes you think everything is possible, even the improbable, so rely on the realism of Saturn to keep everything in perspective.

Jupiter expands everything and while he’s in Pisces, he focuses on feelings and emotions, as well as beliefs and dreams. Drop into your heart as Pisces rewards the heart over the mind. Better yet, rely on your intuition – that’s Pisces favorite.

Jupiter in Pisces is an excellent time to imagine and create as well as say YES to opportunity. He won’t be back in Pisces again until 2033.

Mars Out of Bounds: October 22 – May 5, 2023

We can act with bravery and courage, using our vitality to power us into our next project or adventure. Or we can act rashly, be too selfish or react defensively. This out of bounds coincides with his retrograde, making things completely out of control. Harsh words, violent tempers and aggressive messages become the norm once again. The virus, rebellions and weather events are at an all-time high during this period.

Mars Retrograde Oct 30, 2022 @ 9:26 am ET – Jan 12, 2023 (Gem 25 – 8)

Mars retrograde in Gemini may bring disruptions to mental pursuits and add to health issues, specifically for the lungs. This is music to the corona virus and all of its variants. This is also a time for accidents, so care is called for during this period. Gemini is everything mind, words and interests. This sign can’t get enough material to read, debate and broadcast. The cacophony that quieted down in January ramps up again with the sheer power of Mars. Curiosity, excitement, new ideas and insights thrive and boredom, impatience and scattered focus reign. Mars pushes your mind in Gemini, making it a wonderful time to take a class, learn a new skill or digest lots of information. It’s also a great time for a meeting of the minds, where coming together in understanding is possible.

When Mars enters a sign, he usually stays for 6 weeks, yet will spend 7 months here between August 2022 and March 2023.

In August, I dove into the house placements to help you determine what actions to take to make the most of this energy. You can read it here.

MOON MAGIC

The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. Here are the phases and what you should do:

The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.

Full Moon: Choose Healing

Details: Sun in Libra & Moon in Aries @ 16° on October 9^th @ 4:55 pm ET

The past come rushing up to the surface. Suddenly you remember everything – the good and the bad. Savor the good and for the not-so-good, healing is possible when you let go of past embarrassments, moments of guilt and playing the blame game. Can you believe you did your best at the time? Will you be as kind to yourself as you are to others? Flip your perspective and give yourself grace.

New Moon/Eclipse: Choose Your Path

Details: New Moon in Scorpio @ 2° & Partial Solar Eclipse on October 25^th @ 6:49 am ET

Clarity or confusion? Truth or lie? Get it done or chill out? The choice is yours. Both are available with this New Moon and Eclipse. October & November ecliptic pair is themed UNPREDICTABLE. Any positivity during these two weeks may be fraught with misdirection or misalignment. Take heed. Everything is cloudy and confusing. Take a break, time off or a staycation. If you must stay focused, dive deeply into your intuition. It’s the only clarity you have available. Better yet, follow the strategy you set at the end of 2021.

INTUITIVE TYPE FORECASTS

Wise Strategist – What begins as a month of focus and determination slowly turns into a quest to find the meaning of life. Use the 7 steps of intentions to make progress on that which you seek in the first few weeks. As the energies deepen, take care to carve out time to explore the big questions without interruption and remember to go into your heart space to relieve overwhelm. Your mind runs amuck otherwise, so better yet, use that gorgeous instinct of yours to define what and how you want to get involved in the collective. Being a beacon of calm and strength amidst the storm is your super power, yet only you can determine whether it’s the right role for you.

Intuitive Visionary – Holy cacophony! Getting swept up by all the things and driving hard to get it all done now sums up October for you. Pace yourself and remember to take olive flower essence. Just because your mind thinks you have amazing amounts of energy doesn’t mean your body agrees. Develop habits and routines that support your long-term goals and desires. Remind yourself this is a marathon, not a sprint. Take it one step at a time in a rhythm that feels progressive, yet easy. Remind yourself you have support all around you. Ask for help as you let ease be your lens.

Collaborative Explorer – Everyone reaches out to you yet again. They’ve gotten into the habit of relying on your unwavering support and excellent advice. This is the time to develop a new habit by allowing others to take responsibility for their own actions (or inactions). Realigning responsibility with authority is your project this month. Managing your own desires is your goal. Make each a mantra, then do one thing every day just for you. Practice saying NO to others. I implore you to please do this in October. You’ll be setting up tons of success for yourself when you do.

Ruling Warrior – Be mindful that you may be contributing to the issues this month. Winning, and striving toward your goals is fine, but use caution that you’re not actually taking power away from others. You may feel really good right now as you look at your client roster and your revenue. However, progress in this way backfires in the coming months. This is a time for you to use your influence and charisma to engage and connect. Think in the long-term and tap into your heart’s desire for satisfaction. This is the key for realized success. Everything else is a mirage and you don’t want to wake up in mid-January without lasting connections and structures for support.

Creative Superstar – Creations galore! You’ve had so many creative ideas these last handful of weeks, it’s impossible to keep them all straight. Take a breath and carve out time at the beginning of the month to create a list with the following headers: ideas, patterns, goals, priorities, processes or steps, supports, outcomes and target dates. Next, put your ideas onto the page and step back to see the patterns to weave these ideas into a tapestry. Then complete the list to bring the woven ideas that speak to you the most into being. This seems to be too daunting of a task and you’re right. With such a bounty of creative ideas, you’re not able to complete any of them without organization. It would be a shame to see them all fizzle into nothingness.

Loving Alchemist – The noise is deafening, pushing you toward taking control of everything and everyone in your life. The triggers keep coming, seeming to urge you to grab everyone you love and protect them from the crazy. Yet, this is exactly the opposite of what your soul wants you to do. Letting go and allowing those you love to experience this month in their own way is the key that unlocks your soul’s path and not surprisingly, is the ultimate support for your own deep satisfaction. Calm your mind, open your heart and feel your soul’s yearning. Practically, drop into healing that feels luscious, make plans for intimacy with those you truly treasure and schedule quiet moments throughout the month to regain your balance.

BOTTOM LINE

October gives you forward momentum until the last week when you dive deeply into you and keep your focus on your own path. Allow your mind and heart to synchronize, take time for pleasure and fun and get active when feelings of frustration and impatience arise. Stay above or below the cacophony of life to pursue the next steps for your success.

Thank you for reading and sharing with family and friends.

Seriously, it would be great for you to share. Everyone benefits.

As always, wishing you joy,

Support Tools

For crystals, grab the crystal and put it on your desk, purse or kitchen table. You want to align with your success and this month’s stone helps you do that.

For flower essences, put 3 drops into water 3 times a day and feel the gentle support for your body and emotions.

Oracle Card: #46 Prosper

This is your time to thrive. Develop your muscle to thrive by:

Creating a money bowl, box or jar by filling it with prosperity crystals; pyrite, goldstone, citrine and green aventurine. Add iChing coins, real money and your fortune intentions.
Practicing giving and receiving compliments without mitigating them with extraneous information. Deliver them generously and then receive those coming your way with a simple “Thank you. I fully receive that.”

Crystal: Blue Chalcedony

Blue chalcedony helps you take care of yourself as it relieves you of overreaching in your care for others. This stone says, “You can care about others, instead of for them.”

Blue chalcedony is a nurturing stone, harmonizing the body, mind and spirit. Step into your creativity by enhancing your mental flexibility, communication and memory. The other magic this stone provides is weather magic.

Flower Essence: Agrimony

Smile! When you feel happy and even when you don’t. Agrimony helps those who hide their troubles behind humor. Get real and open your heart to who you are and how you truly feel. Your feelings matter. You matter. Agrimony supports your opening to self-acceptance. At its core, this flower essence brings inner joy.

Animal: Wombat

Be true to you by aligning with your rightful place in the world. When you appreciate your own strengths and talents, others will as well. When you’re in the alignment with your soul, you feel at home – no matter the circumstances.

STAR DANCE

Big Star Events:

Mercury retrograde September 9^th – October 2^nd as Mercury pulls back along with Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto
Happy Equinox on September 22^nd @ 9:04 pm ET as the Sun moves into Libra

Week 1: August 29 – September 4

Access big ideas and desire for sweeping change. If you’ve gathered and deepened during the month of August, go for it. Take a calculated risk or two. They’ll pay off. For those who relaxed during August, keep your feet on the ground and reach for something just beyond the norm. Minor adjustments work for you.

Avoid stressing out about the changes going on at home. It’s back-to-school time for many and this adds another layer of turmoil. The kids aren’t sleeping, so they’re cranky and what does that mean for you? You’re cranky too. Those without the littles? Pesky details creep up, people are confusing and you feel isolated and confused.

Tips: Take a break, get perspective and make a list. The details are magic this month – use them. For those with the littles, get additional meal time help a few times this week and schedule extra early bed time for the little ones too. Everyone needs a break.

Week 2: September 5 – 11

Access your ability to discern what’s best for you. Health comes front and center. In what ways are you grateful for your health in love, money and fitness? What would you like to improve?

Avoid judging others and their progress or lack thereof. It’s their business and you can get lost in what’s going on around you. The busyness and distractions are a cacophony and every little thing snags and niggles. In a word, everyone feels persnickety.

Tips: Make a 2-columned list. Use the headings: success, love, money and fitness for each column. In the left column, list what you’re grateful for and strides you want to celebrate and in the right one, list what you’d like to change or adjust. Rank them on each side and then make a plan to celebrate your top 1 or 2 accomplishments and make improvements to the first 3 top rankings. Now is the perfect time.

BIG STAR: Mercury Retrograde 9/9/22 – 10/2/22

From the annual forecast, this Mercury retrograde challenges how you lead and love. Mercury gives insight into how the Mars Gemini period will be for you. Mars goes retrograde from October 30 – January 12 and remains in Gemini until March 2023. Take note during Mercury’s antics in Libra and Virgo. It’ll be enlightening. Mariah and I are doing a workshop in our Power Up Group on September 9^th. Join us to get your tips by intuitive type.

Week 3: September 12 – 18

Access all possibilities for sweet success, passion and gentle caresses. Love is in the air – which type of love do you wish to access? Romantic sexy, tender kisses, kind gestures, friendly conversations, self-love deep dives or commitment to your long-term success. It’s all available. Choose your preference, dive in and enjoy.

Avoid overindulgence, lethargy and excuses for being too complacent. Your mind rationalizes keeping you stagnant by telling you now is not the time, you don’t have enough experience or everything isn’t perfect. Don’t fall prey.

Tips: Fall into your heart and listen to its wisdom. Your yearnings, passions and desires are beckoning you to take action. Spark interest in fulfilling your destiny and speaking your truth to achieve your future now. Let your mind wander and imagine your big dreams to inspire you to action.

Week 4: September 19 – 25

Access the excitement and power available at the beginning of the week and let it support your ability to gain success. There’s a balance between the practical and the luxurious. On one hand, you strive to be realistic in your tastes and on the other, you yearn for the extravagant.

Avoid the confusing, muddled and distracting mind games that come toward the end of the week. Don’t fall prey to deception for anyone you don’t know coming along with the answer to end all answers. It’s going to be false and can knock you off your path for the next handful of months. Also, modulate your energy by avoiding short bursts. Think marathon, not sprints.

Tips: Find the balance. Stay steady. Open yourself to the range of feelings and opportunities, while not going to the edges. Be moderate in your approach. Use the surge of energy at the start of the week to help you over the finish line at the end.

Big Star Event: Happy Equinox & Birthday Libras!

Sun enters Libra on September 22^nd @ 9:04 pm ET. Think about what you loved about 2021 and about what you wish had gone differently. Join us for our entire team LIVE. We’ll help you create a plan for the remainder of the year.

Week 5: September 26 – October 2

Access all of the beautifully flowing energy making you feel optimistic and pushing you in all the right ways – love, money, success, calm, happiness. It’s all at your fingertips this week. You have…

the drive and commitment to complete projects.

have the desire to make healthy choices.

have good fortune on your side, so make the most of it.

Avoid spending too lavishly, making massive changes or creating new deals that have just sprung up in the last few weeks. Also, obsessive tendencies arise with this major uptick of energy. You’ve heard me say this statement many times in the past, “Commit without expectation.”

Tips: Lean into the good energy flow. Welcome the ease without question. Dive into work to clean up any outstanding tasks. Tie up loose ends. If funds allow, go shopping. You’re going to find what you’ve been searching for and it’ll be perfect.

MOON MAGIC

The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. Here are the phases and what you should do:

The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.

Full Moon: Time for Healing

Details: Sun in Virgo & Moon in Pisces at 17° on September 10^th @ 5:59 am ET

Establish healthy routines and habits before you get to the next Pisces/Virgo Full Moon in March of 2023. Fair warning; this is going to be critical. Healthy life, healthy love; healthy finances; healthy success. Relieve your past and step into your future. Gain balance as you enter the Equinox season in less than two weeks.

New Moon: Thread the Needle

Details: Sun & Moon in Libra @ 2° on September 25^th @ 5:54 pm ET

You’re under a serious influence to commit to you and solve problems that are standing in your way. You have the energy and fortitude to push through. What’s coming up for you now? Develop a plan of attack (against your obstacles, not people). Take advantage of the fresh perspective and influential charm to make gains on your success. Then, go out and have fun. It’s a good time to reconnect with loved ones.

INTUITIVE TYPE FORECASTS

Wise Strategist – You absolutely adore this month – it makes so much sense to you. Use this retrograde time to research, review and refine. Take the time to plan, schedule and optimize. Even though Mercury tests communication and connection, you can actually gather prospects and make sales. Everyone is being pushed to get organized, handle the details and analyze their standing. It’s litmus time. This synchronicity soothes your mind and makes your heart sing. You are in Heaven and it’s about time!

Intuitive Visionary – Slow down! Ah, you actually hate slowing down, so your patience is tested. BUT. You can either rail against the pace or use it to your advantage to let others catch up to you and your ideas. Fine tune your brilliant solutions by adding texture and details. You’re at a cross roads – you can either continue your fast pace and outwit your following or you can lean in and develop structure for tremendous growth. This month is the key to align the trajectory of your future. Use it wisely.

Collaborative Explorer – Your time is coming the third week of the month. You love the balance presented by the Equinox. In the meantime, gain clarity by spending time alone with an open journal or notepad in front of you. Write down what really matters to you. Include your desires, passions and dreams. This isn’t a logical step-by-step task oriented list. This is an assessment of your values and how you wish to take care of yourself in the future. Remember the annual forecast questions: What do you value? How do you love yourself? How do you reach for opportunities?

Ruling Warrior – Change your mind set about how progress works. Linear and ever-expanding momentum isn’t real anyway, so use this time to understand how spiraling creativity acts to create success, love and money. Fuel your efforts by doing physical activities to both relieve your frustration and add to your fitness goals. Pace yourself – these next few months are going to test you. Form creatively supportive habits now and the rest of the year goes your way.

Creative Superstar – The linear movement of the Sun and the swirling of Mercury retrograde threatens to knock you off center. There’s not a lot of foundational creative energy for the first 3 weeks of the month. That’s okay. Use the energy to refine your creations. Yes, August was a boring month for you as it involved production versus creation. AND, this month beckons to you to stay the course and review, refine and adjust. You have months ahead for more creativity. Get up-to-date with your to-do list. Once the Equinox hits, you’ll be happy you did.

Loving Alchemist – Love is in the air during the second and last weeks of the month and that’s exactly your language. Plunge into love, swim around and try each love expression on for size. The rest of the time, focus on what you truly value. This is the month to fuel what’s really important to you. You can use all of the universal energy to gather momentum for your dreams. The only downside to the month is whether you let yourself be swept up in other’s drama or concerns. This is not the time to focus on everyone else. It’s the time to focus on you.

BOTTOM LINE

Stay focused on what’s important to you in love, money and health and you can make great strides this month, gathering information, details and connections. You may or may not make forward movement in the conventional sense, but you are setting yourself up for success for the next 6 months. Review your intentions, refine your goals and set your strategy.

Thank you for reading and sharing with family and friends.

Seriously, it would be great for you to share. Everyone benefits.

As always, wishing you joy,

Why You Absolutely Need to Know the Backlash When Raw Power Feels Trapped

Post author By Kim Woods
Post date August 29, 2022
No Comments on Why You Absolutely Need to Know the Backlash When Raw Power Feels Trapped

Mars high resolution image. Mars is a planet of the solar system. Sunrise with lens flare. Elements of this image furnished by NASA.

What happens when raw power meets overwhelming mental stimulus and doesn’t let up for two full seasons? You’re about to find out as Mars enters Gemini on August 20^th and camps out for 7 months, when he typically visits a sign for 6 weeks.

The reason for such a long stay?

Mars enters Gemini on August 20^th as he travels from 0° to 25°, then he stations retrograde on October 30^th until Jan 12, 2023 as he traverses back through 25 – 8° Gemini. It then takes him until March 25^th, 2023 to move from 8 – 30° when he enters the next sign of Cancer. Phew, that’s a mouthful.

The mind already boggles.

Think of the havoc he’ll cause to everyone’s mental well-being when he marches relentlessly through everything ‘THE MIND’.

Let’s break it down:

Mars
Gemini
Mars in Gemini when he’s moving forward (direct)
Mars in Gemini when he’s ‘moving backward’ (retrograde)

1. Who is Mars?

When Mars is in forward motion, he’s the spark for life force. The Sun is actually the life-force, but Mars is the initiator of it. Mars asks you how do you most need to develop courage and right assertiveness? When do you choose between the role of hunter and role of prey?

Energies to access through Mars: He’s the jet pack to drive you through to the other side of everything – problem-solving, fitness routines, adventurous pursuits, leadership events and sales outreach. He’s a victor and a natural leader. He’s creativity in motion, passion acted upon and honesty without remorse. Key words: divine spark, initiator, warrior, awakening, raw power, hunter, gatherer, adventurer, pure fire, creation, vital, motion, energy, force, momentum, brute strength, honesty, direct, decisive.

Energies to avoid with Mars: He’s petty, mean and driven to the point of obsession. He destroys as much as he creates and doesn’t apologize for anything or anyone in his way. Key words: God of war, ancient name of The Knife, cutting, aggressive, competitive, impatient, greedy, violent, manipulative, deceptive, spiteful, evil.

2. Who is Gemini?

Gemini is the openness, duality and the polarity of life. Gemini is conversation, imagination and wonder. This sign is immediacy, youth and liveliness. Gemini makes quick connections and then forgets they’ve been made.

Energies to access through Gemini: the mind, conditions of life, learning, teaching, speaking, observing, communicating, negotiating, changing, going with the flow, airy and light, quick-witted, social, extraverted, salesmanship, talkative, connector, charming.

Energies to avoid with Gemini: distracting, busyness for busyness sake, flighty, unable to commit, ungrounded, glib, disingenuous, incessantly chattering, vapid, gossipy, confusing, tattler, scandal spreader.

3. Mars Direct in Gemini

From August 20^th – October 30^th and January 13^th – March 25^th, 2023, Mars in Gemini stirs your mind with creative ideas, resolutions to sticky problems and connections with others. He puts so much energy into your mind, you think you’re invincible. Your mental prowess borders genius and your ability to influence, debate and negotiate is at an all-time high.

Mars in Gemini stimulates your normal mental routines, bringing them to a crescendo. If you typically think positively, energetically engage with others and passionately embrace mental pursuits – you’ll have much more of this action into the end of October. If you typically engage in gossip, exaggeration and negative mind talk, mars in Gemini exponentially ramps up these activities to the maximum.

Overall, ideas become beliefs, persuasion becomes coercion and passion becomes obsession.

4. Mars Retrograde in Gemini

When Mars stations retrograde, he appears to be going backward, pulling all of his energy behind him, leaving you stifled, bereft and lethargic. This feeling lasts for 10 weeks through November, December and into mid-January.

At the end of October, your head’s swimming with ideas, opinions and beliefs, so take your time to review, integrate and experiment. It’s an excellent time for study, research and deep insights. This isn’t the time for clarity. You won’t suddenly get an epiphany of brilliance for how things completely come together. Mars retrograde urges faith – particularly blind faith. So, you won’t know the outcome of your efforts over the 10-week period, but do it anyway.

Mars in retrograde also drops into your talents, taps into your intuition and deepens your passion for the mysteries. While pulling back, Mars wants you to take a break from pursuing, achieving and pushing. He wants you to walk along your pathway and develop your choices without judgment.

Bottom line: Use this time prudently as the alternative is to enter January asking yourself, “Where am I and what have I done?”

General Remedies

For everyone, regardless of your star chart, here are 3 things you can do with Mars in Gemini (direct and retrograde):

MIND – Edit and Edit again.

Every communication is fraught with too much – import, information and expectation. Relax and breathe while you plan what you’re going to say. Plan it out. Write it down, think about the effects of your message, then edit how and what you’re going to say.

Plan, then edit and edit again.

BODY – Get physical.

Move the energy from your mind and into your body. Work off the frustration, impatience and misunderstandings in the gym. Mars loves physicality – dance, walk, run, love.

Get moving.

SPIRIT – Be creative.

Put those creative ideas into the world. Take your time, roll up your sleeves and create a roadmap to construct your inspirations through action.

Doodle. Scribble. Design. Construct.

History of Mars Retrograde in Gemini:

Over the years, Mars has spent more than his allotted time transiting Gemini, specifically in 2008, 1990, 1975, 1958, 1943, 1929. Personally, do you see any patterns to these time periods?

They’ve typically coincided with extraordinary events; the 2009 financial crisis, the first Gulf War, earthquakes and tidal waves killing 660,000, China famine killing 30M, WWII and stock market crash that kicked off the Great Depression. Yet, these same time periods bring the first black US president, reunification of Germany, freeing of Nelson Mandala, end of the Vietnam War, start of Apple, first space shuttle, creation of NASA and completion of the Pentagon.

Mars spurs new ideas and innovations while causing tremendous pressure to both the Earth and her inhabitants.

This Mars retrograde period coincides with Mars moving beyond declination, or out of bounds, with the Sun from October 22^nd through May 5, 2023, making him even more of himself. This turbo blast of martial energy creates extraordinary courage, physical strength, extremely violent tendencies and aggression.

The world is in for a huge and elongated jolt. Phrases to describe the next handful of months include inner courage, tests of character, physical stamina, technological snafus, charismatic influences, heated debates, powers of persuasion, deceptions, vitality, power grabs, solutions-oriented start-ups, escalating tensions, inventions, viral energies, traction on basic rights and escalation of weather events.

Other planetary influences:

Mercury Retrograde

Now, from a September perspective, Mercury stations retrograde on September 9^th until October 2nd, so he’s adding to the challenge. The cacophony reaches a seemingly never-ending crescendo, so employing your well-worn tools for softening your thoughts helps tremendously. Move from distraction, confusion and linear thinking to imagination, observation and intuitive discovery.

Jupiter in Pisces & Aries

The fiery planet of Jupiter returns to Aries, after a brief respite in Pisces. Think water from October 28 – December 20 and then the return to heat and fire from December 20^th to May 16^th, 2023.

Neptune in Pisces Square Mars in Gemini

On November 19th, Mars & Neptune confront each other to bring you to your lowest energy point while wrangling with your highest fears. Best advice: No decisions. No progress. It’s time to lay low.

Mars in Gemini trine Saturn in Aquarius

On November 28th, Mars and Saturn support each other giving you relief from the angst to soothe your emotions, boost your energy and provide clarity and focus. Enjoy.

Venus in Sagittarius opposes Mars in Gemini

On December 1, Venus tugs on Mars urging you to get passionate, explore your desires and otherwise frolic and play. Think all things social, romantic and splurging. Get out your wallet if you dare!

Sun in Sagittarius opposes Mars in Gemini

On December 8^th, as with every Mars retrograde, the Sun pulls on Mars to motivate, stir and provide drive and stamina to all of your endeavors. The two fiery planets spur competition and aggression.

Mars Transiting the Houses

Mars in Gemini will be in one or more of your houses from August 20^th, 2022 to March 25^th, 2023. Refer to the information below to determine what it means for you.

House Meaning

When Mars in Gemini is here…

(direct 8/20 – 10/30; retrograde 10/30 – 1/12/2023; direct again 1/12 – 3/25/2023)

1. House of Self-Image & Outlook

-> how you see yourself

This is the house of personal identity, self-image, physical appearance, body & awareness. It covers the way you operate, how others see you, and your general outlook on life.

When Mars is direct here, you have the courage to take action and the skills to be victorious. You want to begin, awaken and assert. Big ideas gain inspiration and collection of others rallying around these ideas. This is heady stuff. Beware of being overly influential as this could be considered reckless when Mars moves into Cancer next year.

Direct Strategies: Align with your natural leadership style. Step up to the challenges of life. Lead your life with commitment and flair. Let the fiery energy give you courage to step into your purposeful pathway.

When Mars is retrograde here, the ideas swirl without fruition or connection. Pent up insights become challenging to navigate without momentum. Repression becomes stronger, making you feel wounded and trapped. Bursting at the seams without any relief. Cowardice is enticing as is victimhood and being swept up in petty disputes.

Retrograde Tips: Review whether your image fits you now. If so, bravely gather your tools and skills to awaken yourself and others onto your path. If not, dive into sound leadership training. Develop a healthy fitness routine for mind, body and spirit.

2. House of Money & Resources

-> how you gather things

This is the house of money & values, value systems, resources, connections, skills, competences, self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth. This is the way you fill your material world with physical possessions.

When Mars is direct here, your attachment to possessions grows, you find new ways to fill your material world. The energy for achievement heightens. There’s the ability to take resources and succeed from a possessive perspective. Fears about losing what you’ve gained. That can also mean to the point of aggression and obsession.

Direct Strategies: Claim your birthright of abundance. Embrace your financial passion confidently and make strides to receive the value you’re worth. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

When Mars is retrograde here, your sources for money seem to dry up, your connections wither and your confidence takes a hit. Your mind runs amuck with all of those times money connections didn’t materialize, making you review all of those times you lost out on those opportunities not taken.

Retrograde Tips: Calm your mind by affirming your wins, your strengths and your talents. Remember hidden treasures through gratitude exercises. Discover the wherewithal to accept healthy risk. Breathe into earthly energies. Do money rituals and exercises to get your thoughts out of your mind and into your heart.

3. House of Learning & Communication

-> how you condition your immediate world

This is the house of information, communication, concrete ideas, teaching, writing, and the practical mind. It’s also one of siblings, early environment, neighbors, and short trips.

When Mars is direct here, you border on brilliance. Your voice gains energy and you feel you must speak to be heard. Your messages must be out in the world, there’s no denying this happening. The push is tremendous. Bravery accompanies the push from Mars as does so many ideas and opportunities.

Direct Strategies: Use the momentum to develop your speaking skills and create your support structure for all things communication. Write, speak, present, teach. Say YES to outreach opportunities that feel aligned, especially if you’ve been planting the seeds for the last few months.

When Mars is retrograde here, hiding, being silenced or otherwise foregoing your right to speak up for yourself. Beware of forceful communication and over-stirring of challenging ideas as influencers take advantage of their following with smarmy sales. They’re getting rocked as the constrictive energies feel foreign after the jetpack over the prior two months. For you, know this is part of the gathering and deepening cycle. Revel in it.

Retrograde Tips: Gather your ideas into cohesive categories and look for patterns and themes. Study. Read. Learn. Carve out time to dive into your writing. Don’t succumb to argument or sarcasm to hide your fears. Breathe and be true to your inner voice.

4. House of Home & Family

-> the basis of your world

This is the house of home, family, roots, bonded relationships, nurturing, instinctive behavior, family, and domestic life. It also represents security, connection to our past, and your ancestors.

When Mars is direct here, your desire for home, family and roots is heightened. Pursuing ancestral information, connection and healing is available. You discover your core values and relate them to those in your immediate circle. You may begin a home-based business, turn your hobbies into profits or make connections with others through self-care regimens. Too many opportunities present themselves, keeping you occupied and busy.

Direct Strategies: Dive into your inner resources to deepen your trust in your soul’s journey. Ask which opportunities support your soul growth, so as not to pursue profit for profit sake.

In a Nutshell

I’ve given you the bottom line as part of my 2022 annual forecast at the top of the year. Excerpts include:

Mars retrograde: October 30 – January 12, 2023 @ Gemini 25- 8°

Mars out of bounds: October 22 – May 5, 2023

Mars forward-motion in Gemini: August 20^th – October 30^th and January 13 – March 25^th, 2023

Gemini is everything mind, words and interests. This sign can’t get enough material to read, debate and broadcast. The cacophony that quieted down in January ramps up again with the sheer power of Mars. Curiosity, excitement, new ideas and insights thrive and boredom, impatience and scattered focus reign. Mars pushes your mind in Gemini, making it a wonderful time to take a class, learn a new skill or digest lots of information. It’s also a great time for a meeting of the minds, where coming together in understanding is possible.

When Mars enters a sign, he usually stays for 6 weeks, yet will spend 7 months here between August 2022 and March 2023.

For those use to this energy, it’ll feel familiar. For others, take care as your mind may be exhausted after such a long time in this sign.

As always, wishing you joy,
