All eyes this week will be on the solar eclipse. Although I do not discuss Chiron a lot in weekly forecasts, I feel it is important to understand the astrological maverick to use its energies. Chiron's transits are like a healing journey, highlighting our deepest wounds to help us heal.

Welcome to the month of April. We have the biggest aspect of the year, as Jupiter conjoins Uranus in Taurus and a massive Solar Eclipse in Aries. We also have Mercury retrograde, which begins the month on April Fool’s Day.

Let’s dive into all the magical goodies this month has to offer.

Although all eyes will be on Mercury as he turns retrograde on Monday, the main cosmic influencer this week is Venus. In astrology, Venus symbolizes love, beauty, harmony, and attraction. Governing our values and what we appreciate in life, Venus influences our social interactions and the pleasure we derive from our relationships.

The Cosmic Weather Service is issuing a storm warning as the headliner this week is a lunar eclipse in Libra that occurs at the beginning of the week.  Libra is associated with justice and equilibrium, and since its planetary ruler is Venus, issues surrounding women are often highlighted.

This week the Sun moves out of Pisces and into fiery Aries, so the major player this week is the planet Mars.  In astrology, Mars is the planet that helps us get what we want, and we need to use this energy wisely. While the Sun is in  Aries, focus on your goals, and let your ambition help you get what you truly want out of life.

The major player this week is Neptune.  It’s going to be a low-energy week with little get-up-and-go because Neptune would much rather dream and fantasize about life than live it. You may go through moments of brain fog and need to focus when making important decisions because it is easy for confusion to take over the show.

Astro Magic for March 2024

The bulk of the month is beginning the process of preparing for the astrological New Year, as the Sun moves into the sign of Aries on March 20th (5:24 PM EST/2:24 PM AM PST). 

After two months of relative astrological ease, the seeds you planted will sprout, the air will start to warm up, and the promise of a fresh start is on the way.

We have two major planetary players for the week – Mercury and Uranus. Since both Mercury and Uranus form a helpful sextile on Monday, pay close attention to the events that happen during the beginning of the week, because they may set the seeds for the overall weekly energy.

• Tuesday: Mars squares Jupiter in Taurus. High energy but be cautious of impulsiveness.
  Use the Lucky Star - Jupiter candle with the Fiery Wall of Protection spray to enjoy the energy of the day while preventing bad decisions. 
  
  
• Wednesday: Sun conjoins Mercury; both conjoin Saturn later.

• Early Week: Moon in Cancer. Emphasize self-care, family connections, and emotional nourishment. 
  Use the Love’s Enchantment candle to surround yourself with loving kindness for yourself and others.

  Use the Love’s Enchantment, Truth Serum - Mercury, and Success candles to amplify these aspects and power up romance in your life.

Astro Magic February 2024
As we enter February, we step into the Pisces season. Pisces, often misunderstood, ranges from spiritual highs to challenging lows. Following the realistic focus of Capricorn season and the communal mindset of Aquarius, Pisces season urges us to seek deeper, more meaningful experiences.

• Early Week: Mars trine Uranus in Taurus. Focus on exploring new things and taking risks.  
  Use the Needed Change/Banishing and Crown of Success candles with the Truth Serum - Mercury room spray to turn the risk of new things into solid success.
  
  
• Midweek: Moon in Libra, emphasizing balance and creativity. Late Tuesday, Moon enters Scorpio, intensifying emotions. 
  Use the Calm Blessed Herbal oil with the  Needed Change/Banishing candle to traverse these emotional days with minimal upset
  
  
• Friday: Mercury sextile Neptune in Pisces. Heightened intuition and spiritual focus. 
  Use the Truth Serum - Mercury candle or room spray to keep the intuition heightened with the understanding of what the universal truth of the situation is.
  
  
• Weekend: Continuation of Friday's spiritual and intuitive themes.

The final week of January once again features a plethora of aspects, mainly during the weekend. The good news is that unlike last week these aspects are mainly favorable.

The week starts with Venus moving out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn. While Venus is in Capricorn, it’s important to remember that this is not a time for fleeting flings and quick romances.

We start the third week of January with a lovely aspect between the Sun and Neptune. The Sun sextile Neptune makes you receptive and empathic towards those around you. You may be called upon to help someone in need, and this is the perfect time of the month to do charitable work, make donations to a food pantry, or get rid of clothes you no longer need.

We start the second week of January like we started the first week with a difficult aspect. This week, Mercury forms a tense square to Neptune in Pisces. Since Mercury went direct last week any unresolved issues or communication  problems that have not been resolved may resurface, especially those that occurred around December 21st.

Aquarius Season

In 1969, the American pop group, the 5th Dimension, released their fourth album called “The Age of Aquarius.” Here is an example of the lyrics from the title track: 

“When the Moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter aligned with Mars, then peace will guide the planets, and love will rule the stars.

Happy New Year! All the energy this week happens during the first half of the week beginning on Monday when Venus squares troubling Saturn in Pisces. Venus square Saturn can make you feel isolated, lonely, and depressed, and can  lead you to review your relationships to see if your needs are currently being met.

The final week of the year brings us six major aspects (Venus trine Neptune, Mercury square Neptune, the Sun trine Jupiter, Mercury conjunct Mars, Mars square Neptune, and Venus sextile Pluto), a sign change for Venus, and Jupiter turns direct in Taurus.

We start the week with Venus forming a beautiful trine to Neptune in Pisces.
