p40.7–ECLIPSE INTEGRATION INTENSIVE

Very special one-off P40 Seven Day intensive starting: August 21, 2017.

I’m teaming up with my magical partner in crime once again, Katelan Foisy to take care of you, inspire you and bring you our top seven ritual secrets merged with the magickal P40 alchemical categories in the aftermath of the “Great American Eclipse” of eclipses!

Regardless of where you live in the world, the August eclipse cycle is rocking your world. Eclipses insist we do the deep dive into our own shadow work and reclaim our throne and redouble our commitment to our true path (read: following our heart).

In the midst of eclipse storms, it’s easy to get lost in the fear of what we might lose or have taken. Often these things are people, habits, and situations that are holding us back in one way or another. Eclipses are a powerful time to recommit to our bigger goals as we clear our minds from the limitations blocking our full potential.

As people travel across the globe to witness the eclipses magic in person, we are coming together to experience its magic within. Through a series of 7-Day rituals, Guided Meditations, Videos *, and Live chats* (*new P40 editions) we will break through the post-eclipse fog, insecurity, blocks, and fears, to clear the way for living-out-loud – limitless loving that only comes from walking our true Path.

We will devote Seven Days (Saturn Number) to the Seven original P40 categories (CONFESSION, ORACLE, INSPIRATION, RELINQUISH, DREAMS, BODY) with a powerful blend of ritual, journaling, creative art therapy, astrology, tarot and alchemy.

LAST QUARTER MOON HOROSCOPES

August 14-20th, 2017

Here we are straddled between two eclipses, Mercury Retrograde in Virgo opposite Neptune, and Venus about to set of the cardinal crossfire with Pluto. Feeling bone-level exhaustion yet on edge? The story is unfolding but it’s by all means not written in stone. In fact, the writing on the wall is covered in fog at the moment. We may not have clear answers or direction until at least mid-September. In the meantime, the Sun, Mars and North Node in Leo ask us to cling to the heart as our most reliable compass. If you need more personal guidance through the August eclipse storms, you can book some one-on-one time with me via an astrology consult or Jungian work via a special 5-session package for new clients. More info here: SESSIONS WITH SHERENE

Aries:

Ground yourself and get back on top of your finances this week, Aries. Life can be extremely clunky and messy because Mercury Retrograde is back with a vengeance. Add in back to back eclipses (of which we are currently right in the middle and you can see why it’s extremely stressful). Use this Monday’s Last Quarter Moon to get back to basics with your body and your top priorities. Root yourself now in preparation for the insanity to come. You’ll totally need this timeout to recalibrate and gear up for your next battle. Relationships, especially with family can get testy this week compliments of the Venus-Pluto opposition. Preserve your connections by refusing to allow conflict to escalate. It’s just not worth it. Unless of course you’re ready to call it quits for good. Power struggles never end well. Potential blow-outs seem to inevitable but you can always choose peace.

Taurus:

There is a Last Quarter Moon in your very own stars this week, Taurus. This delivers a welcome grounding after last week’s eclipse chaos. Plus, you’re so ready to rest and reset. Take this time off in between eclipses as a much needed intermission to get back to your preferred pace of slow and sensual. You may still be processing some very heavy losses this week. Change is so not your jam, but you’re actually starting to appreciate the growth and wisdom now that the dust is settling. You’re tapping into your core strength and that is priceless. Tuesday’s intense planetary war between Venus and Pluto triggers a potent blend of relationship drama, but nothing that you can’t handle. As long as you’re clear on what you want and what you value most, you’re golden.

Gemini:

This week’s Last Quarter Moon demands you slow your roll, Gemini. It’s the thing you avoid yet need most of all. If ever there was a time for self-care and rejuvenation, it’s this week. Catch this rare and essential time to get back into your body and out of your head in prep for next week’s mega-eclipse. Get a head start to preserve your sanity, darling. Go ahead and put some extra space in your schedule just for good measure. You will be oh so glad you did. Tuesday brings an intense planetary tug-of-war between Venus and Pluto. Power struggles might seem inevitable but you have choices. Better to choose the high road always. Avoid emotional spending binges under the current conditions as well. Don’t forget you’re still under the influence of Mercury Retrograde.

Cancer:

The emotional intensity continues this week, Cancer. The inner push and pull reaches a fever pitch by midweek but luckily you are feeling way more grounded than last week. Give yourself as much downtime and self -care as you need. You can’t overdo it now. The Last Quarter Moon is reminding you to get back into your body and to slow down. This is also the perfect eclipse prep because next week brings the mongo New Moon Solar Eclipse in your money zone. Watch your spending habits now and get a firm grip on where your money is leaking. The Mercury Retrograde could also be throwing some scheduling curve balls your way, so be sure to double check all plans.

Leo:

This is the calm before the storm week, Leo. You sense that things are eerily quiet and mellow but you’re not being lulled into false security. The New Moon Solar Eclipse is only one week away. This is the downtime you have been so desperately wanting in order to catch your breath and prep for another wave of very intense changes. The story that started at the end of July is coming back for part two/ next level. Luckily, this week’s Last Quarter Moon is the perfect opportunity to get your bearings and you’re body back. Tuesday brings a rather tenuous power struggle that you didn’t see coming. Venus and Pluto are going head to head to create tensions around work and scheduling. The ongoing Mercury Retrograde is not helping matters much. When in doubt, check in on potential misunderstandings. Swallow your pride and ask where you stand.

Virgo:

It’s the week to get back into your body, Virgo. The last few weeks have kept you spinning in pre-Mercury Retrograde in Virgo confusion and chaos. Now it’s time to slow down and recommit to what supports and nurtures you. Take advantage of this handy little intermission between eclipses to get back on some semblance of solid ground. Don’t get swept up in worry and overthinking. You need a break from your mind. Tuesday brings a rather tumultuous tiff between Venus and Pluto which could ratchet up the tensions with anyone you’re currently or previously had power struggles with. Choose love and compassion over force.

Libra:

Balance is your end-all-be-all this week, Libra. You have been dying for some sense of peace and equilibrium to return to this world of chaos and madness. You’re so not alone. The combo of eclipses plus the ongoing Mercury Retrograde has everyone on edge. In fact, you’ve probably been playing the peacemaker as per usual. This week brings extra tension to family and career dynamics compliments of the Venus-Pluto opposition. You hate being forced to choose sides so don’t. Trust that the miscommunication can be resolved and will be resolved post-eclipses and you’ll want to keep both sides of your loyalty in tact.

Scorpio:

Seek refuge in your ride or die connections this week, Scorpio. This Monday’s Last Quarter Moon in your opposite and grounding sign of Taurus brings you back in touch with what and who you love most of all. When you’re in the right company nothing can touch you. You need the comfort and grounding to prepare for next week’s colossal eclipse. Plus, let’s not forget that Mercury Retrograde is in full swing and causing some bumps and revisions with your long-term goals and current collaborations. Finally this week’s Venus-Pluto face-off could stir up trouble and power plays between you and some of your beloveds. Don’t go there. .

Sagittarius:

This week is weirdly and unexpectedly grounding and teeming with opportunities for self-care (read: massages galore), Sagittarius. Then again, last week’s eclipse drama makes anything feel like ultimate Zen in comparison. Grab this break in the action and temporary lull to pamper yourself and catch up on deadlines. Nip those procrastination tendencies in the bud now. The more you get ahead, the better you will feel next week when the New Moon Solar Eclipse takes you on another wild ride. Plus, Venus and Pluto go to battle this Tuesday so avoid power struggles and ultimatums. Cling to your newfound mellow with everything you’ve got!

Capricorn:

This Monday’s Last Quarter Moon brings some much needed love and pleasure in the midst of eclipse season. You can find your center once again by putting your body and your breath first. There is no stress worth the stress. Isn’t that the truth? Let it all go because next week brings yet another wave of changes and you’ll need all the strength you can muster. Plus, this week’s Venus-Pluto power battle puts everyone into super-defensive mode. It’s better to agree to disagree. Especially, considering that Mercury Retrograde is just building up momentum in the realm of misunderstandings and mayhem.

Aquarius:

This is the week to root down, Aquarius. If this literally means spending more time at home lying low, go for it. You can’t be all social all of the time, especially during eclipse season. Plus, with all of the major plans you’ve set in motion, you need every ounce of energy you’ve got to birth the new. Not to mention, you’re still processing some major personal and emotional shifts from the last eclipse in your stars just last week. Add in the current Mercury Retrograde and it’s a wonder you leave your bed (maybe you actually don’t or won’t this week). Give yourself plenty of downtime and pauses in between events to transition without stress. You need to keep your life and schedule as light as possible now.

Pisces:

Slow and low that is your tempo this week, Pisces. Your soul is calling (read: screaming) at you now. Technology could be the bane of your existence at the moment so don’t feel guilty about powering off. It’s the last addiction you need or want to add to the mix. What you need now is time to process all of the recent eclipse insanity while prepping for yet another round next week. Plus, the ongoing Mercury Retrograde in your opposite stars is causing a lot of extra thoughtfulness and revision in the realm of relationship communication. This week’s First Quarter Moon reminds you to pause and breathe a little more deeply on the hour if not more. and rushing around in the world of technology madness is the opposite of what you want or need. This Monday’s Last Quarter Moon brings a welcome pause in the eclipse storminess. It’s a temporary break, but you can milk it for all it’s got by doubling up on your self-care rituals and lingering in leisurely activities for as long as possible. Avoid relationship drama midweek or it will totally impinge upon your much-needed mellow. It’s summertime after all. It’s about time the living got a little easier.

P40/7 from Katelan Foisy on Vimeo.

Very special one-off P40 intensive starting August 21, 2017.

I’m teaming up with my magical partner in crime once again, Katelan Foisy to take care of you, inspire you and bring you our top seven ritual secrets merged with the magickal P40 alchemical categories in the aftermath of the “Great American Eclipse” of eclipses!

Regardless of where you live in the world, the August eclipse cycle is rocking your world. Eclipses insist we do the deep dive into our own shadow work and reclaim our throne and redouble our commitment to our true path (read: following our heart).

In the midst of eclipse storms, it’s easy to get lost in the fear of what we might lose or have taken. Often these things are people, habits, and situations that are holding us back in one way or another. Eclipses are a powerful time to recommit to our bigger goals as we clear our minds from the limitations blocking our full potential.

As people travel across the globe to witness the eclipses magic in person, we are coming together to experience its magic within. Through a series of  7-Day rituals, Guided Meditations, Videos *, and Live chats* (*new P40 editions) we will break through the post-eclipse fog, insecurity, blocks, and fears, to clear the way for living-out-loud – limitless loving that only comes from walking our true Path.

We will devote Seven Days (Saturn Number) to the Seven original P40 categories (CONFESSION, ORACLE, INSPIRATION, RELINQUISH, DREAMS, BODY) with a powerful blend of ritual, journaling, creative art therapy, astrology, tarot and alchemy.

“I trust that friendships will fade, relationships will collapse, and in the end everything works out and we will one day speak again. I trust that the bad behavior in the world will end and this is just a phase time will take us through.”-Lucky Rapp

DAY ONE:  CONFESSION

This was the basis to all forms of therapy. We all need a sacred space where we can unburden our psyches from the guilt, fear and shame we often hide even from ourselves. Self-deception creates self-sabotage. By getting to the truth, your energy, confidence and sense of personal power return to you ten-fold.

Katelan will share a powerful DEPTHS OF FEAR ritual.

DAY TWO: ORACLE

Paying special attention to the signs, symbols, animal totems, inner promptings and myriad forms of synchronicity that show up to guide, confirm, alert, or open us up to messages from the unconscious and our guides.

Katelan will share her KEYS TO THE UNCONSCIOUS ritual.

DAY THREE: INSPIRATION

Manifesting via inspiration through the arts and writing to tap into core feelings. Rituals to root you back to your inner source of power.

Katelan will share the CONE OF POWER ritual.

DAY FOUR: STRUCTURE

Eclipses are excellent times to revamp the daily structures in our lives that create the foundation for future success. Time management, self-care, and keeping a clutter-free schedule.

Sigils and energetic release.

Katelan will share the life-altering DRAWING THE FUTURE ritual.

DAY FIVE: RELINQUISH

Here we will hone in on what needs to go! We all talk a good game about relinquishing that which no longer serves us, but are we ready to truly release that grip? It takes ritual, support and planetary timing. We are blessed with the opportunity to employ all three during this potent eclipse season

Katelan will teach us how via  TURNING THE BROOM UPSIDE DOWN (CLEARING OUT) 

DAY SIX: DREAMS

We will focus on the inner working of our dreams. Even if you haven’t been able to recall a specific dream during the 7-Days, you can work with the last one that you can recall or even a recurring dream image. We will share techniques to help you recall your dreams in the future and to work with them as a means of opening up the dialogue with your unconscious.

Katelan will reveal the HALL OF MIRRORS ritual.

DAY SEVEN: BODY

TWO FRIDA’S AND PLAY OF SELVES

Here we will work herbs, tinctures, essential oils, and some specific authentic movement, pranayama, and gyrokinesis techniques to heal the body post-eclipse.

Katelan will be using Self Portraiture techniques inspired by the Two Fridas (Two versions of Self) and Cindy Sherman’s Play of Selves (for those inspired to go beyond the duality into the multiple play of selves as revealed by our horoscope).

Play of Selves by Cindy Sherman

This Wednesday’s Uranus Retrograde station flips the script in the Aries area of your horoscope. The nature of Uranus is unpredictable, out of the blue and has a way of jolting us awake. This awakening is tied into the upcoming Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 7th in Aquarius. Venus has also changed signs and is now in Cancer where Mars just was. Relationships take on a more sensitive and nostalgic tone now.

I’m working on a very special Project 40 called P40.7. It’s an intensive version designed to help integrate the energies of the New Moon Solar Eclipse on August 21st. Stay tuned for more details on this site later in the week.

Weekly Horoscopes July 31 to August 6, 2017

Aries:

Life is erratic, unpredictable and completely charged this week, Aries! Surprises are rather par for the course, so be open and ready for anything and everything. Uranus, the planet of shakeups and breakups is set to go retrograde starting on Wednesday. Good thing you were born for a wild ride. You actually get energized when life is so full-on and upredictable. You can also chalk this up to the build up to eclipse season (officially arriving next week). Your long-term goals and collaborations are at the top of your priority list now. So much is on the verge of massive change.

Taurus:

Take it slow and easy this week, Taurus. The stress levels plus shadow energies are off the charts now. Uranus, the planet ruling all kinds of disruptions and awakenings is going retrograde this week right on the edge of eclipse season. Next week’s Full Moon Lunar eclipse is happening just days before another Mercury Retrograde. No wonder life feels so chaotic. The upside is that you will soon be liberated some of your most stubborn ruts. Eclipse energies are like this. If you’re not willing to let go, situations will force change and growth. It’s your choice and you can totally make the changes gracefully.

Gemini:

You’re not losing your mind—the energies really are that chaotic and crazy at the moment, Gemini. You’re not the only one feeling completely scattered and unfocused but you may be feeling it more than most. That’s because your ruling planet, Mercury is on the edge of another retrograde season. If that’s not enough upheaval, add in the upcoming eclipse which is now only one week away. Crossing into August is like opening a major Pandora’s Box. Get ready to do your shadow work, darling. Major changes are inevitable and good for your growth and self-awareness. Plus, you’re more intrigued with experimentation and breaking the rules now.

Cancer:

The sensitive side of your nature is sensing that it’s a good week to lay low and take cover, Cancer. The planetary energies are so extreme and intense that you’ll need extra space in your schedule just to recover. The more downtown you factor in to your life now, the better for your nervous system. It’s quite dramatic and messy out there. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is already starting to build and rock your world of secrets and intimacy. Watch for information to come to you in very mysterious but powerful ways. Don’t brush off the insights that flood in this week. Major epiphanies will be revealed over the next month.

Leo:

Relationships could totally throw you for a loop this week, Leo. If you feel completely confused and indecisive around what you want and how you want to partner, wait for the emotional storm that is August to pass. Don’t force anything until true clarity arrives on the scene—which could be anytime, any moment and from any source. . Wednesday’s Uranus Retrograde brings the revelations and crystal clear clarity you’ve been waiting. They might surprise you but they will also wake you up. Next week’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is already overshadowing the energy and putting everyone in a state of uneasiness. Luckily, you can find your strength in any storm. That said, expect drama to reach new levels between this week and the end of August. Relationship commitments are up for the make it or break it test.

Virgo:

You’re not imagining things, the energy is truly bizarre and erratic this week, Virgo. It’s not the kind of thing you can make logical sense of but you can use this strangeness to get more grounded than ever. You’ll need to up your self-care game and create extra space in your schedule for good measure. The intensity is only starting and it’s about to get completely unhinged as of next week’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. Plus, this Wednesdays Uranus Retrograde is sure to stir up the status quo and throw everyone for a wild ride. Unpredictability becomes the norm so let go of your ideas of sane and crazy until this weird storm passes. Your physical outlets will be your saving grace, preferably something that requires slow movement and deep breathing.

Libra:

Stress is inevitable this week, Libra. Relationships are getting put to the test and everyone is acting out due to the incredibly intense pre-eclipse energies. Not only that bur Uranus is about to go retrograde on Wednesday in your house of partnerships. This makes for nothing short of complete surprise and even chaos in your closest one-to-one dynamics. Contracts and commitments come back into review. The indecisive part of your nature could kick in or you could get extremely impulsive to overcompensate. The constant back and forth is hard for you. Sometimes progress is messy and confusing. That’s certainly the case this week. Plus next week’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is stirring up the energy in your love zone. Your creativity is electric and your love life totally wild.

Scorpio:

Intensity is the theme of the week, Scorpio. As much as you adore drama, this week you’re better off experimenting with detachment. You’ll need a more distant approach to get a grip on the upcoming eclipse storms. When you step back and look at life as if it were a crazy movie script, the potential aha moments could change your life. Wednesday’s Uranus Retrograde is nothing short of bizarre, erratic and unpredictable. Don’t fall for the surface appearance of the crazy events taking shape now. Keep your eye on some unexpected reversals with work or health. Take exceptional care of yourself now, darling.

Sagittarius:

Your love life is on fire this week, Sagittarius. Expect the unexpected—that statement will actually make sense this week. Uranus, the planet of surprises and awakenings goes retrograde on Wednesday. Your eyes are wide open and you’re seeing things you never saw before about your love life. The other bonus is your creativity is off the chain. Keeping an open mind and letting the more rebellious side of your personality run the show is what gets you through this bizarre energy portal. Eclipse season looms large now and it’s only a mere matter of days before the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse sweeps in and shakes up the status quo as you’ve known it. This is not just in your life, but collectively as well. Nothing will seem the same by September.

Capricorn:

This is the week to clean up your finances, Capricorn. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse energies are brewing and stirring up a messy storm in your money zone. Next Monday’s eclipse sets off a chain of events that have you completely re-evaluating how you do money. Uranus, the planet of chaos and surprises is going retrograde on Wednesday. This little shake-up will affect both financial issues as well as family matters. Do your best to keep life calm in the midst of this storm. Don’t allow others to escalate the drama. Thats the last thing you need or want. When the mayhem kicks in, you’ll need your tough as nails demeanor to see you through.

Aquarius:

Hang on to your sanity this week, Aquarius because life is about to get seriously cray-cray. Your ruling planet, Uranus is going retrograde on Wednesday to bring the chaos and the erratic shakes-ups that always precede major breakthroughs. That’s fabulous when you get to the other side, but the interim can be totally maddening. Keep your wits about you. Plus, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is lighting up your stars and only a week away. You are feeling all of this and then some. Watch your words with the utmost care now. Don’t let an impulsive outburst burn bridges. The intensity plus urgency energy can lead to extreme behaviors. Stay cool.

Pisces:

Dreams are directives this week, Pisces. Pay close attention to the messages streaming in regardless of the strange or unexpected form they take. Don’t write anything off as insignificant. You are on the brink of a total flip of the script, Pisces. This is just the preview. Next week is the colossal Full Moon Lunar Eclipse setting off your imagination in erratic and potentially mind-blowing ways that lead to genius breakthroughs. If you’re willing to do the deep shadow work required by eclipses, you can truly find yourself tapping into your true potential. Let your eccentric freak side out without fear or shame. It’s what makes you incredibly magnetic and magical.

Our final days of the Sun and Mars riding through Cancer during the waning lunar phase. There’s a lot of emotional clearing going on in preparation for next week’s New Moon in Leo and next month’s fiery Leo eclipse cycle. This week’s Last Quarter Moon cycle in Aries reminds us that endings are also beginnings and that not everything happens on the timing our ego would demand. Patience and waiting strengthen us. Jumping the gun just leads to more cleanup and revision later on. Check your Sun and Rising sign below for more….

Aries:

It’s you, you and more you this week, Aries. The current Last Quarter Moon cycle falls in your very own stars and reminds you of the power of new beginnings. You just wrapped up quite an intense phase of gutting out all of the muck from your world. Initiate new plans with utmost sincerity and intention as you prepare for a brand new love cycle starting next week. This is the week for getting grounded and clear about what you want and do not want moving forward. Make those calls and keep the energy moving forward now. Can you feel the creative surge about to break?

Taurus:

Something major is ending and something brand new is just about to begin. You’re coming home to your creative roots this week, Taurus. Strength, confidence and personal power are on the rise over the next few weeks, so dump out all of those residual fears and insecurities now. The Moon will move through your stars at the beginning of the week to help you ground and remember what you love. Linger in the beauty, darling. Rushing only makes you cranky and unfocused. There’s absolutely no need for that under the current waning moon. Next week is when the energy returns in full force.

Gemini:

Conversations, texting and every other form of speaking your mind is highlighted this week, Gemini. You’re starting to wonder when life will slow down and give you a break to catch up. It will in due course, but first there’s just a lot going on. This week’s Last Quarter Moon phase has you surrounded by friends and potential new collaborators vying for your time. Running around and making connections is something that comes naturally to you. In fact, you thrive when you are free to roam and flirt with others without too much pressure or attachment. That said, you’re also thinking long-term goals and how to up your game in terms of awards and other worldly accolades now.

Cancer:

The Sun is about to leave your sweet and sentimental Cancer stars after Saturday, so make it a finale to remember! You’re about to move from family and feelings to money and grounding over the next few weeks. But first, it’s about coming back to your core self, Cancer. You are wrapping up and digesting all that you have learned since last month’s New Moon in Cancer. You are balancing home, career, self and other like a pro. You’re also in touch with the bigger picture and taking your career goals to the next level over the next few weeks. Now that the emotional storms are subsiding a bit, you can relax and focus on the basics like playing the bills and proper self-care.

Leo:

You’re coming back into your shine this week, Leo. You’ve been feeling a bit underground and moody over the past few weeks (read: hidden) and will joyfully welcome the return of the Sun coming home to your stars starting this Saturday. You’re back on your proper throne and in the limelight where you belong. Now that you feel your confidence coming back full force, you’re ready to tackle anything. This week’s Last Quarter Lunar phase is excellent for long-distance travel and rethinking your core philosophy. Are you living your truth, Leo? Do you respect your mentors and teachers who came before you?

Virgo:

Plenty is shifting faster than you can even organize it this week, Virgo. Part of the problem is that you can’t quite see or foretell what is changing yet sense the ground unsteady beneath your feet. Let go of the details for the moment and get back to your instincts and intentions, love. This week’s Last Quarter Moon cycle will help you shed bad habits, attachments and other patterns that you have been trying to let go of for months if not years. Why drag the old into another summer just to clog up the joy? After the 22nd, you’ll be ready to spread your wings and broaden your horizons. Unplug as much as you want and need without apology.

Libra:

Relationship themes are ready for a major upgrade this week, Libra. It starts with you and asserting your needs without exception for a change. You are so good at adjusting, adapting and accommodating to what everyone else wants and expects from you, but at what cost? Aren’t you starting to feel over it—frustrated and angry to your core? That is all about to change now. The sooner you get real about your true feelings and express them, the better your relationship dynamics will go from this point onward. Death to codependency, Libra. You are one of the most social signs of the zodiac, so don’t let one person drag you away into their world of endless needs.

Scorpio:

Count your blessings this week, Scorpio. Life continues to deliver the sweetness and the respect you so deserve. It’s time to take your rightful place on your career throne this week too. The Sun will be moving up to the tip-top of your chart starting on Saturday, putting you in the spotlight for the next month. No more hiding in the shadows just because it’s comfy and private there. Your power is blazing in the world where it belongs this summer. Plus the current Last Quarter lunar cycle is helping you catch up on all of your work deadlines so you can focus on the bigger picture. It might feel exceedingly busy and demanding at the moment, but you’re on the brink of greatness.

Sagittarius:

You’re coming out of an emotionally challenging few weeks, Sagittarius. You are so ready and deserving of a true vacation. Get thee to the most exotic and healing destination imaginable. Starting this Saturday, you’ll have all the green lights for travel and adventure. Love will follow you wherever you land on your next jaunt. Plus, you do better with those from other cultures always because that’s how you roll. This week’s Last Quarter Lunar cycle is excellent for love and romance. Fall in love all over again with life and your current or brand new flame. Pleasure is your calling.

Capricorn:

Relationships took everything you have over the past few weeks. No wonder you’re feeling a bit burnt out and selfish at the moment. It’s not selfish to come back to your own neglected needs, Capricorn. It’s an essential part of rebalancing. It’s time to pull back and assess where you left off with number one. Plus, this week’s Last Quarter Moon cycle is reminding you of what a home body you truly are. Sometimes all you need is quality time away from the world. A little overdue self-care is all you need to feel like you’re living your best summer.

Aquarius:

Work has been your constant over the past few weeks, Aquarius. You need a serious break now. Finding time to reconnect with friends and your favorite one-on-one connections is a serious must now to bring back some semblance of balance. This Last Quarter lunar phase could spark some blunt if not rather hostile communication if you’re not careful. You call it necessary honesty, but others could feel attacked by your sharp words. Sugarcoating is never your thing, but do consider the impact of fiery text communications. The Sun will move into your opposite sign and light up your relationship zone starting Saturday. The next month is very social and coupled up.

Pisces:

You’re feeling a desperate need to get grounded this week, Pisces. The last month probably felt like a whirlwind, even if exciting. There is just so much to process and the bills have gotten a bit out of control due to emotional priorities. The current Last Quarter Moon cycle of the week insists you sit down with your bank accounts and find your way back to solid ground. Impulsivity can work for or against you financially. This strange transitional space is about to give way to a new cycle of work starting on the 22nd. Work, health and your daily schedule become your new priorities after a rather romantic spell.

Here we are at the First Quarter Moon in Libra conjunct Jupiter. You may have felt a true lift, lightening or return of inspiration last night. That said, she will spend Saturday (July 1) having it out with Mars, Pluto and Mercury in Cancer as a prelude to the Full Moon in Capricorn on the 8th which will have another go at this cardinal cross energy. Clearly we are being asked to master the Cardinal Cross. How do we hold all four corners of the Cardinal Cross in balance while keeping our hearts open? Let’s do a little breakdown of the Cardinal Cross as we’ll be working with it many times throughout the next few months until Jupiter leaves Libra. Each time the Moon goes through any of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, these themes reappear for our attention.

ARIES: Self, Me, Instinct, the Head, Authority, Immediacy, Action, Competition, War

CANCER: Home, Mother, Security, Feelings, Moods, Needs, Feminine instincts, Family, Stomach, Breasts

LIBRA: Relationships, Balance, Compromise, Diplomacy, Beauty, Harmony, Peace, Symmetry, Justice, Mediating

CAPRICORN: Material Concerns, Mastery, Fear, Guilt, Shame, Enslavement, Fear, The Knees, Tradition, Integrity, Structure, Usefulness, Quality, Ascetism

The opening square of the Moon can be extremely anchoring if we work with it consciously. In preparation of the Full Moon we first circle back to where we started on Day One with the New Moon in Cancer. Our emotions, our feelings our security needs, our relationship with the feminine and our guts. Now we are being asked to bring this into balance, harmony and flow. We will really be feeling what is out of balance and not flowing in our bodies and psyches at this time.

It’s hard enough to keep our relationships with Self and Other in balance but add in inner and outer world into the mix and it’s quite a balancing act. We need time alone to process and heal before giving ourselves to others or to the world in general. This also means just going out into the world. All of this requires extreme caution and care now because our tendencies to push even one corner of the axis to an extreme throws everything off kilter.
“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

The First Quarter Libra Moon also reminds me how essential it is to work towards harmony in all of these arenas as much as possible. The discord we experience is usually brought on by us. Our expectations are not met. We don’t get our way. Things don’t happen in our timing. We blame everyone else. We want to punish the world. We don’t feel valued, loved or appreciated enough so we throw everything into chaos as an energetic tantrum of believing this will show the cosmos we mean business. Like Libra John Lennon would say, “Give Peace a Chance.” Peace is a forgotten art form. To let things slide off our backs. To forgive and forget. To release the need to be right. To stop fighting and arguing over petty things.

Aries:

Happy Fourth of July, baby! Summer is in full swing with the strong family theme still front and center. Plus, everything is changing this week, Aries. First off, your world of communication (read: texting, emails and conversation) gets loads sweeter and wittier. You’ll be thinking from your heart, writing from your heart and thinking about love in general for the next several weeksl. The big news of the week is the Full Moon on Saturday bringing your career status to the next level. Look back to projects and goals you started last January and take pride in how far you’ve come!

Taurus:

You have so much going on this week, that you may forget there’s a holiday situated right in the middle of it all. After settling into a few weeks of beauty and pleasure, you’re starting to feel the urge to hustle again. The part of your nature that knows how to wheel and deal and get into business mode takes over after Tuesday. You’re also gifted with all of the creative juju you need to take your work and ongoing projects to the next level. The Full Moon on Saturday stirs up some serious travel fever. If you don’t have some exotic summer plans on your radar, now is the time to get something going.

Gemini:

Your world is about to get infinitely sweeter this week, Gemini just in time for a fabulous Fourth of July. The planet of beauty and love (Venus) is moving into your stars starting on Tuesday to assure the remainder of July feels like the summer of love. You’re a total attraction magnet for the next few weeks, so if you’re single now is the time to work the dating apps. If you’re already hitched, your relationship will feel amazing. You’re also a magnet for money under this influence. Add in the Full Moon on Saturday giving your work a turbo-charged boost. Projects you started last January are reaching their apex now. This a success all around week, darling. Cheers!

Cancer:

Some of the recent planetary pileup in your stars is finally starting to subside this week, Cancer. This means the recent drama, excitement and overload is smoothing out around the edges. This is especially true on the mental front. You are so ready for a break from texting, emails and feeling like a slave to your gadgets. You can use the holiday on the 4th as your excuse for a much needed time out from being “online” 24-7. Plus, there’s a very intense Full Moon building up in your opposite sign of Capricorn. This is the perfect week for balancing out any relationship issues that need attention.

Leo:

You have so much on your plate this week, Leo but it’s all good. Just don’t forget to celebrate the holiday this Tuesday because the stars are bringing you all the love that day. Plus, the planet of communication (Mercury) is moving into your very own stars for the next few weeks to keep you on your toes and probably on your phone. The theme of constant connection could be your 4th of July anthem. You might find it impossible to turn your brain or your computer off for the next few weeks. If you’ve been needing to catch up on correspondence, July is your month.

Virgo:

It might be a holiday week, but you’ve got business on the brain, Virgo. Your ambition is off the charts and you’re making things happen. Not only are you surrounding yourself with the creme de la creme of a team, but you’re so far advanced in your future plans that you’re slated for mega success. This is an excellent week to get your message out to the masses. Your social media skills are on point because you feel a trend months before anyone else has a clue. Finally, to assure a fabulous weekend—-the Full Moon on Saturday is extremely romantic and creative.

Libra:

Home and family is definitely where your heart is this week, Libra. And perfect timing—for the Fourth of July! Plus, your ruling planet (Venus) is brining you all the opportunities for travel and adventure you could ever want over the next few weeks. Don’t worry about all of the details and feel overly responsible for making sure everyone else has a wonderful holiday. This is about reunion, joy and stress-free quality time with relatives. If you’re feeling overly obsessed with family themes, you can blame it on the Full Moon building up all week and reaching her peak on Saturday. Balance all that you give with learning to relax and receive, darling.

Scorpio:

Communication becomes the major topic of this exciting and emotional holiday week! You have learned some powerful lessons around the power of your tongue lately and now you get to put your wisdom into practice by continuing to bite it when your pride feels attacked. Trust that there are always two sides to every story and give your loved ones the benefit of the doubt. Research is also on the agenda as is personal transformation. Your career star is also on the rise this week, so go ahead and launch your bigger projects and goals. Saturday’s Full Moon is full of opportunity.

Sagittarius:

Money becomes a loaded issue this week, Sadge. Have you been spending money like water lately? That’s a rhetorical question of course for generous Sagittarius spirits. As the Full Moon builds up all week until Saturday, you’ll be feeling the pressure to get a grip on your finances. Sit down and make that budget once and for all. More importantly commit to sticking to it without fail until you get your banking back into balance. This will simply assure that you have more to spend later on —-sans guilt. Celebrate Independence Day this Tuesday by knowing you have the power to become and remain debt free, baby!

Capricorn:

It’s your Fourth of July party, and you can cry if you want to. Yep, it’s a hella emotional week, Capricorn. You pride yourself on having control of the messier side of your feelings and yet there’s a Full Moon brewing in your very own stars now. Let it all hang out without apology. You have been working so hard for so long, that you might have overlooked the fact that it’s officially summer now. You can’t be all business all of the time darling or it will affect your health and heart. This is the week to turn all of that around and bring back the art of relaxation.

Aquarius:

It’s a holiday week, and just in time! You’ve never needed or wanted a vacation more than you do right now, Aquarius. You definitely hit the wall last week in terms of pressure and overworking and now you want nothing more than to kick back and plant yourself on a chaise lounge with cool drink for the duration of the summer. Your dreams are off the charts as the weekend nears due to the Full Moon energies. Be sure to write down all and any clips you can remember as they will have meaning to you down the road. Keep them in a journal, darling and watch the insights and epiphanies pour right in.

Pisces:

Happy Independence Day, Pisces! You’re feeling anything but independent at the moment, but you do adore any reason to celebrate. In fact, this could be one of your most social weeks of the year if you’re willing. There’s a potent little Full Moon building up until Saturday and bringing all of your friends, collaborators and tribe members out of the woodwork and vying for your undivided time and attention. You love to be surrounded by so much love and support but too much people time can also be draining on your sensitive system. Find the balance by taking time out for hydrotherapy whenever possible in between all of the mixing and mingling.

As we travel through these 40 days of our inner(lunar) journey towards integration of Self and purpose, we shall also be following the mythic path trodden by the goddesses, Isis and Nephthys in the ancient mysteries of the Egyptian Temple.

The Sun moves into the watery world of Cancer this week but Friday’s New Moon in the cardinal water sign of the “Mother” archetype… is the official initiation of this emotional, nostalgic and nurturing cycle. Our moods, memories and melancholy run the show over the next few weeks. Give care to your inner world, needs and feelings or they could cause unexpected tantrums or defense mechanisms gone awry.

Read on for your own sign/rising sign:

Aries:

Your home is where your heart is this week, Aries. Now is the time when your inner homebody takes over and you pour your energy into your family and domestic duties. Money issues run a close second in terms of priorities during the first half of the week. You want love, beauty and less stress. Tuesday brings the official start of summer and triggers a super sentimental and nostalgic streak. Nesting and playing house is your idea of a dreamy summer this week. In fact, others will have a hard time pulling you away from your domicile. The New Moon on the 23rd is ideal for starting fresh with family members, women and mother figures, especially.

Taurus:

Get ready for a rather sappy and sentimental ride this week, Taurus. Have your journal and plenty of tissues on hand. Feelings run the show. Give yourself as plenty of outlets to express your emotions as possible. The worst thing you can do is bottle anything up during such a sensitive time. Writing is especially cathartic now as is sharing your feelings in confidence to a close and trusted friend. Women in your life seem to need you more than ever these days as well, so you’ll need someone to lean on in return. The New Moon on Friday falls in your communication zone and brings thoughts, feelings and memories into focus.

Gemini:

Finances are the big theme of the week, Gemini. You’re realizing just how much your feelings can influence your spending habits. Moods have a way of directly corresponding to your bank balance. Once you make the patterns more conscious under this week’s stars you can use this in your favor. Avoid splurging when you want comfort and channel your high energy moments into money-making mojo. Don’t let a bad mood or a need for emotional security cause you to make financial decisions that you regret. This Friday’s New Moon is ideal for resetting your relationship with your budget and overall cash flow.

Cancer:
Your feelings are taking you to new levels this week, Cancer. The planets are piling up in your sensitive stars and you’re all over the map with your moods and emotions. You might be wondering how your skin could feel so unbearably thin.. Friday’s New Moon in Cancer helps you to reset and nurture yourself. Let your inner mothering side baby you for a change. You’re so good at taking care of everyone else’s needs but you’re the one who needs you most now. Make enough time and space in your schedule to feel all of your feelings and indulge in a completely comforting meal or two.

Leo:

Your dreams are off the charts this week, Leo. The stars are stacking up in your house of sleep, plus there’s a New Moon taking place there on Friday. Your soul is screaming at you to listen now. Turn inward, meditate and track the messages coming to you from every angle. This will enhance your creativity and your sense of well being. This Friday’s New Moon invites you to start working deeply with someone who can help chart your inner world—be that a therapist, healer, shaman or coach. The time to delve into your deepest fears and insecurities will only reveal your greatest strength. Don’t feel you must do this on your own, darling. Calling in an excellent helper will only bring you greater power and status.

Virgo:

Friends and collaborators take center stage this week, Virgo. No one builds a dream team quite like you. It just comes so naturally to you to surround yourself will a stellar support system. It’s something you do best. This is an excellent week to give back. You’ve been so lucky over the past few years and you’re feeling the call to share the wealth. This is an ideal time to up your charity game. Don’t let another moment pass before you send off some money to a cause you believe in. The New Moon on Friday is extremely emotional and mushy so carve in extra time in your schedule just to feel.

Libra:

The stars are lighting up the top of your chart this week, Libra. This puts you in stellar status. You’re thinking a lot about your career and the kind of mark you wish to leave on the world. Write down all of your dreams and ambitions as you prepare for this Friday’s New Moon. Make sure your professional ambitions also nurture you. You are more like a good mother than a boss and prefer your work crew to feel more like family. Plus you genuinely care about everyone you work with which can get your feelings hurt more than you’d like to admit. Use Friday’s New Moon to get in touch with all the emotional needs you have in your career and don’t sell yourself short for one second longer, darling.

Scorpio:

You’ll enjoy this week’s emotional lift, Scorpio. Others might accuse you of being dark and stormy, but this week you’re all about potential and optimism. Long-distance travel plans are on the near horizon. Use this Friday’s New Moon to sort through all of the details. You’re ready to spread your wings and fly away from all that had been bogging you down in other people’s drama and muck. You’re also on the hunt for new sources of inspiration and stellar mentors. You’re extremely selective but that now is an excellent time for finding your next great teacher or course of learning. Keep your ears to the ground.

Sagittarius:

Nothing light and fluffy will do this week, Sadge. The hidden emotional side of your personality is taking over under the current stars. Don’t be surprised if you’re feeling extremely sensitive, sentimental and even nostalgic now. You may even feel more like being left alone than being your normal party girl self. Don’t lose heart, darling. It’s just a passing phase of cleaning out some inner muck while you prepare for a new cycle of greatness. Of course you’ll always find the humor even in the depth of sadness. The New Moon on Friday brings the changes and the rebirth you have been craving. If you’re willing to delve deep, you’ll come up shining and new.

Capricorn:

Partnerships are the big focus of the week, Capricorn. So many planets are piling in your opposite sign of Cancer now. This can make you feel rather grumpy and obsessed with your relationships. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want and need in order to keep it all in proper balance. You might feel hyper-sensitive in general but your feelings need to be communicated to avoid weird power struggles with loved ones. Don’t avoid your own feelings by overcompensating and taking care of everyone else’s needs. The New Moon on Friday falls in your relationship zone and brings the perfect reset with others. Let go of past hurts and resentments so you can truly start fresh.

Aquarius:

Do you love your life, Aquarius? If not, use this week’s stars to start with your daily schedule. Get into the nitty-gritty of your routines, rituals and habits. You can turn your entire life around by making sure you adore your rhythm. This includes your wellness and workout goals as well. It’s all in the daily details now. You also crave projects that you can lose yourself in like a good mother. If you don’t adore your co-workers, you’re in the wrong place. Use this Friday’s New Moon to make any necessary adjustments to your work and your life.

Pisces:

Life is absolutely blissful at the moment, Pisces. The stars are lining up in your love and pleasure zone this week to bring all the goodness. Plus, you’re surrounded by amazing women who just want to adore and spoil you silly. What could be better? Let yourself totally immerse in all of the support and care that you so deserve. You give so much to others in an unconditionally loving way. Now it’s time to fill yourself back up. The New Moon on Friday is perfect for counting your blessings and watching them simply multiply over the next six months.
