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.

Thursday- Venus Day
* All times are Atlantic Standard Time
Today:
New video!⬆️
The Moon is waxing, growing in light. This is an ideal time to initiate projects and set goals and intentions for the future.
Look to the western sky just after sunset to see Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and the Crescent Moon all lined up!
It's the last day of Chiron in Aries.
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 now in phase one of wrapping up that lesson! Chiron will enter Taurus on Friday and remain there 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 were you thrust back into the drama of them? Look to your Aries planets and your Mars sign for more insight into the lessons 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 Chiron leaving Aries, as a Venus in Aries myself! Come Friday evening, we are Chiron in Taurus, answering to Venus in Leo!
The Moon continues through Leo today, only making two aspects. This morning is nice, but this afternoon has a tense Moon-Mars square. They have some Mutual Reception, so this should help us to problem solve.
We are still feeling theVenus/Moon-Pluto opposition today, especially this morning. The drama from yesterday could overflow into today.
The Moon is in Leo; 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 trines Saturn in Aries at 6:27 am; this is a lovely, stabilizing Fire trine! We are focused and motivated to accomplish a lot today!
Moon in Leo squares Mars in Taurus at 10:33 pm; this aspect can signify overindulging, emotional volatility, and frustrations. Both signs are Fixed and stubborn. They do have Mutual Reception though. The Moon is exalted in Taurus, and Mars has Triplicity power in Leo, so they can strike a compromise.
Create a sacred sleep space before going to bed tonight.
Moon in Leo sextiles the Sun in Gemini at 7:30 am 6/19; this is a light-hearted, fun-loving, uplifting aspect. The Sun and Moon are working together and enjoying each other's company.
The Moon goes void of course with this aspect. It's a short void Moon, then the Moon enters Virgo.
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!

Monthly Energetic Overview

Thursday
Hummingbird- Joy
If Hummingbird has flown into your cards, get ready to laugh musically and enjoy the Creator's many gifts. Drop your judgmental attitude and relax. Hummingbird will no doubt give you a flash of the spirit, darting here, there, and everywhere. Get ready for a strange new burst of energy which may send your senses reeling.
Hummingbird hears celestial music and is in harmony with it. Hummingbird may invite you to an art museum or a concert. Hummingbird energetically embraces the highest aesthetics.
Never be coarse in front of Hummingbird, for this fragile medicine may not understand worldly affairs. Beauty is the target, and Hummingbird's mission is to spread joy or to be destroyed. Hummingbird quickly dies if caged, caught, or imprisoned.
Follow Sister Hummingbird, and you will soon be filled with paroxysms of joy and experience a renewal of the magic of living.
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.
