You
Who are the source of all power,
Whose rays illuminate the world,
Illuminate also my heart
So that it too can do Your work.

We are in the Crescent Moon phase now!
Look to the western sky just after sunset to see Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and the Crescent Moon all lined up!
If you're up early this morning, you woke up to a void Moon. Enjoy a slow and easy morning. The Moon enters Leo this morning and will be traveling closely with Venus in Leo all day. The Moon is happy this morning, mirroring Venus's sextile to Uranus and trine to Neptune from yesterday, but this evening the Moon and Venus both oppose Pluto! This is an intense aspect amplified by the Moon. It's a huge news day! Please stay safe! Watch your back!
Venus has been happy all week, but is now building up to the extremely intense opposition of Venus-Pluto this afternoon! This aspect shows up as power plays, power struggles, and bullying. Relationship drama can spark and turn ugly fast. This is a domestic violence aspect, so please protect yourself and strain to remain calm and centered. Venus rules the feminine, so women can be aggressors or victims. This aspect asks us to stand in our power center, tap into our personal power center, and reclaim our sovereignty!
Chiron is at the end of Aries now. We are feeling the ferocity and intensity of Chiron at the end of the God of War's sign. Chiron is answering to Mars in Taurus, where Mars is in its Detriment. Chiron has been working to heal a deep wound in the Aries part of our charts since 2019 and is in phase one of wrapping up that lesson now! Chiron will enter Taurus on Friday until October, when Chiron returns to close out his time in Aries for the next 51 years. This is a pre-test to the final exam to see how much work we still need to do when Chiron re-enters Aries. How are you feeling? Are you thriving and moving past the old wounds, or did you get thrust back into the drama of old wounds? Look to your Aries planets and Mars sign to provide more insight into the lessons that Chiron in Aries wants to teach us. Wherever Chiron is transiting, it will feel like an old wound that just won't heal. I'm looking forward to having Chiron get out of Aries, as a Venus in Aries myself! Come Friday evening, we are Chiron in Taurus, answering to Venus in Leo!
Moon in Cancer conjuncts Jupiter in Cancer at 3:41 am; this is a sweet, tender, highly psychic and intuitive time. The Moon and Jupiter are snuggled up tightly. This is a time for healing, restoration, and rejuvenation.
The Moon goes void with this aspect. It's a short void Moon. The Moon enters Leo on Wednesday morning.
The Moon and Venus will be together, taking on Pluto as a tag team!
Moon in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries at 7:56 am; we are feeling emotionally volatile, sensitive, and cranky this morning. Frustrations could get the best of us. The rejection wound is being triggered. Have a good cry if needed! Avoid unleashing venomous anger at others.
The Moon enters Leo at 8:05 am; the Moon in Leo is warm-hearted, loyal, generous, dramatic, proud, regal, paternalistic, creative, and dominating.
The Moon in Leo is answering to the Sun in Gemini!
Moon in Leo sextiles Uranus in Gemini at 1:00 pm; Uranus is upgrading and uplifting the Moon. We are looking at change differently and starting to get excited about it! Try a new approach to an old issue.
Moon in Leo trines Neptune in Aries at 3:09 pm; we want to lie on the beach and daydream, not be stuck at work! We are feeling inspired, passionate, and creative now. Our energetic defenses are lowered, so be conscious of the company you keep. Is someone feeding on your juicy energy? Use this aspect for creative work, passion projects, and dreaming big.
Moon in Leo conjuncts Venus in Leo at 4:28 pm; the Moon and Venus are thrilled to meet in lovely Leo! It's been a fun party so far, but in one minute, they both oppose Pluto! Venus and the Moon are locking arms in preparation for this confrontation. It's unfortunate that such a gorgous aspect is being overshadowed by Pluto, womp womp.
Moon in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius at 4:29 pm; here we go. The Moon stands up to Pluto first. This energy is deadly, intense, volatile. Remain in your power center, strive to be calm and clear-headed. The Moon is amplifying the Venus-Pluto opposition. Please watch your back, avoid confrontations if possible, and make sure that you are safe. This aspect can signify domestic violence, fights, and relationship drama.
Venus in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius at 4:38 pm; Venus was riding high until now! This opposition is massive. We have been feeling this aspect building since Venus entered Leo on Saturday morning! This aspect signifies relationships, partnerships, and financial volatility. It can signify power struggles, power plays, bullying, violence, and it can be deadly. Domestic violence, rape, and vengeful attacks are more likely now. This energy is passionate, but can be renewing if we use it appropriately. It can be obsessive, trigger jealousy, forbidden love, sexual addictions, possessiveness, and manipulation. This energy is primal.
We have had a massive uptick in murders in the VI since Venus entered Leo. There's an energetic power grab going on. Unfortunately, today, this can get worse. Please be careful, watch your back, and avoid making new enemies!
We need all of the Light Warriors to energetically fight back! Step up with prayer and public service.
This aspect invites us to reclaim our personal power and sovereignty.
Moon in Leo trines Saturn in Aries at 6:27 am 6/18; this is a lovely, stabilizing Fire trine! We are focused and motivated to accomplish a lot today!
Mercury is in its Retrograde Shadow!
Slow down, review, revise, and revisit the past 3 months. This is an extremely nostalgic and sensitive time. Be gentle with yourself and others. We are communicating from a sensitive place. Cry, sleep, make soups, focus on home and family dynamics.
We are now getting messages and information that we will be working with over the Mercury Rx. Pay attention to what's coming up throughout the Shadow period, so we aren't "blindsided" by events and information during the actual retrograde! It's never a surprise; Mercury isn't associated with the unexpected. It's associated with parroting, chatter, and pattern recognition. Mercury always gives a warning before causing problems, so if we're paying attention, we can act before the Mercury Rx snaffues trip us up! We get the flat tire, broken-down vehicles, broken appliances, or communication fallouts when we ignore the warning signs trying to get our attention.
This retrograde is a sensitive one. All the Mercury Rx's this year are in the Water signs. This one is tender, nostalgic, sentimental, sensitive, emotional, instinctual, and self-protective.
We are being asked to do all the re- words: review, revise, revisit, restore, rejuvenate. Mercury Rx's ask us to slow down. We trip up when we are trying to rush through this time. When we dance with the planets, life has more flow, ease, and wonder! Mercury Stations Retrograde on 6/29-7/23. Mercury will remain in its post-retrograde shadow until 8/6! Mercury will finally leave Cancer on 8/9.
Jupiter is wrapping up in Cancer, where he's exalted this month, and enters Leo, a sign where Jupiter has Triplicity power for the next year! I'm so excited about Jupiter in Leo!
Also in July, the Nodes of Fate shift into Leo-Aquarius! These are the signs where the Eclispes will take place over the next 18 months(we do have two out-of-sign eclipses in Virgo-Pisces to wrap up). Jupiter and the South Node will be in Leo. Pluto and the North Node are in Aquarius! Think back to 5/2017-11/2018. This was the reversal of this energy. The last time that we had this exact Eclipse cycle was 12/2007-8/2009! Themes from this time are back up for review. Of course, they are amplified exponentially due to Jupiter and Pluto's presence!

Jaguar- Integrity/Impeccability
Jaguar medicine is integrity and impeccability. Its mission is to devour the unclean aspects of human behavior. Jaguar teaches us the penalties of inappropriate behavior and offers the rewards of good medicine to those who stand in their personal integrity and walk through life in an appropriate manner.
If Jaguar is roaming your dream/reality today, its primal roar may be rewarding you for maintaining your integrity in some situation where you could have easily misused your authority. You may have been unwilling to pass judgment on another, or to be self-serving. Were you especially kind to someone or do a good deed that was unexpected? If so, allow the recognition to fill you with feelings of well-being and continue to serve with compassion and openhearted integrity.
Do not falter in your resolve to be your personal best at all times. Maintain your dignity, devotion, and compassion, holding fast to forthrightness and honesty, no matter what contrary influences arise. Do not feed any self-important need to be an "enlightened one," treating others in a self-righteous manner. Jaguar medicine teaches you that personal integrity allows for mistakes, embraces forgiveness, and humbly makes self-directed corrections, allowing a rebalanced spirit to triumph once again.
Year of the Yang Fire Horse!
Fire Horse years are extremely fast-moving, so buckle up! The last time that we had a Fire Horse year was 1966! The Fire Horse is bold, independent, passionate, strong-willed, and rebellious! Live with passion! Let your light shine!
Bedroom Feng Shui
I love the look of plants in the bedroom, but did you know that it is said that plants in the bedroom drain your energy? Humans are considered to be an Earth element. Plants are the Wood element. In the 5 Element theory, Wood drains Earth energy. As always, do what is best for you! Take a look at your energy levels; if you have plants, pictures of flowers, or even plant patterns on your bedsheets, maybe begin trading them out.
Bedrooms do best with neutral colors, earthy colors.
