The Weekly Astrology Forecast Is Out ~ Carpe Diem!

I am a HUGE fan of the Astro-Twins and their weekly astrology forecasts. They have a fabulous way of mixing in humor with real-life, while explaining what the planets are up too.  I hope you enjoy this weeks astrology forecast!

Should you gun the engines or ride the brake? Early this week, the answer is: Both. Swashbuckling Jupiter is spending its final full week in Leo, amping excitement levels to a fever pitch. But on Monday, the red-spotted planet slams into a restrictive square with party pooper Saturn, checking our wild vibes considerably. While Jupiter in Leo gives us swagger and makes us prone to shameless PDA, Saturn is in mysterious Scorpio, warning us to keep our cards closer to our vests…and to keep said vests buttoned up unless we’re behind closed doors. The key to navigating squares is to find a proper balance point. Don’t hide your entire hand or tone down desire completely. But DO be discerning about when you reveal all that lusty Leo energy—and to whom. And hey, slowing down isn’t such a bad thing. Saturn can help us put a smarter plan in place for all our creative and romantic notions. Good things come to those who wait!

Taming our passions won’t be easy on Tuesday when bold Jupiter makes the second of three 2015 connections to love planet Venus. The first one happened on July 1 while Venus was in direct motion. Now, Venus is retrograde, forcing us to retract some steps and look to the past for our romantic fix. What heated up in early July could cool a bit; or, we may need to put a little more structure into these relationships so we know where we actually stand. This cosmic duet still sings a sweet, soulful song. Tuesday may bring the perfect opportunity for a nostalgic day trip or the courage to send a text to “the one that got away.” But heed the warning label: Fools rush in. There’s a tendency to give too much, too soon with Jupiter in the frame. Nevertheless, for those timid types who’ve been sitting on a romantic desire for too long, carpe diem! Tuesday’s window of opportunity can heat up a stalled attraction at last. With Jupiter dousing us with truth serum, this week could bring some seriously soul-baring moments. Quarreling couples could have a long overdue dialogue about the future of their relationship. Breaking up might seem easiest, but with Venus retrograde this should only be considered as a last resort. Use the candid, diplomatic vibes of this pairing to dig deeper into your divide. An emergency couple’s therapy session could save you from demise!

On Friday, messenger Mercury brings some sense and sensibility back to the world when he wings into Virgo until August 27. Shooting from the hip or racing ahead without a plan won’t be very appealing during this cycle. In Virgo, social Mercury prefers simplicity to drama. Having a few dependable allies is now better than being everyone’s superficial BFF.  Bring on the practical magic! Now’s the time to get those DIY projects underway or to tackle a self-improvement mission with Virgoan discipline.

But there’s never a dull moment this August—nor a lack of cosmic contradictions. On Saturday, lusty, action-oriented Mars moves into Leo until September 24, firing up the dramatic, passionate vibes all over again. While Jupiter will leave Leo and move into Virgo for a year-plus next Tuesday, August 11, Mars will ensure that the lion’s legacy lingers on. Where DO we need to be bigger, louder and prouder about our talents and accomplishments? While Mars in Leo can bring some epic ego trips, it can also boost our confidence in fun and healthy ways. Dazzling people is fun with Mars here as long as we’re willing to share the spotlight. This will be a juicy time for artists, actors, performers and presenters. If you thought you could never be royal, guess again: Mars in Leo might point out the very corner where you were born to reign!

The Weekend Love Forecast is Out! We Have a Full Blue Moon!

There is nothing like a Full Blue Moon to kick off the weekend! Take a peek at how your love life will fair with the full moon, Aquarius, Venus in Retrograde, and Leo roaring!

The Full Moon in Aquarius on Friday, along with Venus traveling retrograde into Leo will set the stage for an eventful weekend in matters of the heart. First, the Full Moon will help you become aware of why you might be trying to rationalize your feelings instead of feeling them. Perhaps you’ll also realize that there’s a short circuit in your ability to receive love. If this happens, consider talking to a friend about how to move past this emotional block.

With Venus moving back into Leo there’s a retrograde lesson connected to giving love as well. If you have given until it hurts in the past in order to feel that you’re worthy of love then this weekend might truly be an eye opener. The Pisces Moon on Saturday into Sunday will promote unconditional love — starting with unconditionally loving yourself.

The Weekly Astrology Forecast Is Out~ Get Ready For The Full Moon!

I am a HUGE fan of the Astro-Twins and their weekly astrology forecasts. They have a fabulous way of mixing in humor with real-life, while explaining what the planets are up too.  I hope you enjoy this weeks astrology forecast!

Double rainbow! This Friday, July 31 brings the full moon in magical, metaphysical Aquarius. Do you believe in unicorns? Well, by the time the workweek wraps, you might also believe in mermaids. This full moon marks the manifestation of TWO Aquarius new moons from early 2015—the January 20 supermoon and the second new moon on February 18, which heralded the Chinese Year of the Sheep http://astrostyle.com/year-of-the-sheep/.

Seeds we planted early in the year could start to bear fruit—especially our idealistic, out-of-the box dreams. When in doubt, take the unconventional route! Aquarius is the sign that governs teamwork and technology. There will be group victories to celebrate this week or a deep desire to find our soul tribes. Turn on the searchlight. Those kindred spirits could be revealed within two weeks of Friday.

Feel like making the world a better place? (Hands raised.) Power-to-the-people Aquarius energy helps guide us to humanitarian missions. Whether they involve global activism or a little community cleanup, there is strength in numbers. No good deed is too small…but why not go a little bigger, inviting the social network to get in on the goodwill game?

Venus remains in retrograde this week (read our Venus retrograde survival tips here!), hovering in fussy Virgo until Friday. Pick, pick, pick…peck, peck, peck: We could snuff out the loving vibes by being too “helpful” or involved in our lovers’ affairs. Keep expectations reasonable, please. We may demand perfection of our partners during the workweek. Comparing means despairing, so who gives a f*** what The Joneses think about our love lives? Close the opinion polls and screen out the gossips!

On Saturday, Venus floats back into Leo, rounding out the retrograde here until September 6. Passion or high drama? This five-week phase will be quite the storied one. We’ll all need a lot more attention, but who is going to play the role of the cheering supporter? After Friday, we’ll have to work harder at listening as well as stepping back and letting others shine, too. Old flames have a funny way of showing up while Venus is in reverse. There could be some rather emotional reunions in August—welcome or not. Keep lines as clear as possible and just remember that it will all shake out by September.

Got wedding plans during Venus retrograde? No need to call off the caterers and elope to Vegas. But it wouldn’t hurt to squeeze in one extra counseling session before the nuptials JUST to be sure you’ve worked out all those final knots and fears. We recommend a vow renewal on your first anniversary—thankfully, Venus will NOT be retrograde next summer!

On Saturday, the summer’s storm clouds begin to clear as dour Saturn wakes up from a long retrograde that began on March 14. Since June 14, Saturn slipped back from Sagittarius into Scorpio for a final encore of a tour that began in October 2012.  Talk about intense! Saturn’s three-year reign through Scorpio has forced us all to deal with our shadows. Power struggles, vengeance, emotional manipulation—it’s brought enough material to script at least three seasons of Game Of Thrones.

On September 17, Saturn will officially move on to Sagittarius—and won’t return to Scorpio again until 2041! But Scorpio is also the sign of transformation. The phoenix is rising from the ashes for the next six weeks. Now is the time to really tackle an area of life that needs to be whipped into shape. No excuses! This is extreme makeover territory we’re talking about here. While we’ll need to be very black and white about our limits, we can still tap the mystical realm for support. Saturn in Scorpio loves a dash of magic along with those practical plans.

Break out the angel cards, set up a manifestation altar, cobble together a vision board. Relationships could hit their stride or break up for good since Saturn in Scorpio affects our intimate lives. Listening to our intuition is as important in the boardroom as it is in the bedroom. Like we said: No excuses! If words and actions don’t match up, something (or someone) has got to go. But for those who have a soulmate to appreciate (not a perfect one, but a qualified candidate), bring on those loving feelings!

The Weekend Love Forecast is Out!

Will there be love, lust or over reacting this weekend?

The Moon will be in Scorpio until Sunday morning, so it appears that the better half of the weekend will leave you emotionally charged. You might yearn to go deep with your lover, but at the same time you may feel a certain wall that either you or your sweetie has up. If this happens, recognize it as a wall of self-protection that may not even need to exist. Sometimes we put up defenses in response to previous heartbreak or betrayal. The person you’re with now may have absolutely nothing to do with the emotional reaction you’re experiencing. Love planet Venus turns retrograde on Saturday morning making things even more unclear in the love department. You appear more focused on the past than the present Will there be love, lust or over reacting this weekend?nt when it comes to love this weekend. Ask yourself why…

The Weekly Astrology Forecast Is Out ~ Time to Stand Out!

 

Rule number one for the week: Don’t be basic!

On Wednesday, July 22 the Sun bursts into passionate, theatrical Leo—bringing out the show ponies in us all. One day later, messenger Mercury joins the Leo party until August 7, amplifying the volume even higher. Unfiltered self-expression is the name of the game until August 23.

But wait…there’s more. Supersizer Jupiter is also in Leo through August 11, rounding out a 13-month journey. Pump up the volume on those bold moves—and make sure to cast a wide net since Jupiter is the zodiac’s jetsetter.

Romantic heat will not be in short order between now and August 23, and the creative juices will flow like sweet, frozen margaritas. If thinking about making a daring change to your look, book the salon or inking appointment BEFORE Venus turns retrograde on Saturday!

Forget about waiting to be discovered. Wage a PR campaign to promote your latest creations and keep ‘em captivated with your charisma! This “check me out!” energy is sanctioned by the stars, whether we are shamelessly self-promoting or launching well-timed humble brags. The downside of this fiery phase? We can overestimate our abilities and get caught up in ego trips. Oops. Keep a proverbial lion’s paw planted on Planet Earth to avoid losing touch with reality.

On Saturday, love planet Venus turns retrograde for six weeks—in Virgo until July 31, then retreating through Leo until September 6. This biennial backspin can jam up Cupid’s signals. Big time: While Venus is in Virgo, beware of being critical and nitpicky; once it transits into Leo, dial down the drama and keep the diva antics to a minimum.

And, for the entire six weeks of the retrograde, be careful not to conflate minor molehills into ice-capped mountains…or fiery volcanoes! Making permanent and binding decisions about love (and style!) can be less than auspicious while Venus is in reverse.

The summer’s fire warnings could include heated reunions with old flames. Exes could come creeping out of the underbrush. This might be good news for those hoping for a sequel with “the one that got away.” But we’ll have to wait until after September 6 to see which situations are REALLY meant to stick. Couples may struggle to align their individual quests with the needs of the relationship. Some tough compromises will be in store. Keep the couple’s therapist’s number in your favorites list!

Keeping cool won’t be easy this weekend. Not at all. Firebrand Mars in Cancer will clash with combustible Uranus in Aries bringing out an aggressive energy in us all. Mars in Cancer makes everyone super sensitive while Uranus in Aries turns the emotional cauldron into a boiling pot. Feelings aren’t facts—but they sure will feel like it. Keeping calm and carrying on may not be a marching order most of us can follow; however, we’d be wise to let off steam with a neutral third party instead of clashing in the heat of the moment. Bridges can be burned under this astrological configuration, especially with family, neighbors and close friends—Cancer’s domain.

One day later, change-maker Uranus back-flips through Aries until December 25, pressing pause on a few of our revolutionary plans. Although we may be eager for change, sudden moves are not advised. Space-age Uranus is the planet of technology and innovation. We’ll need to go back to the drawing board and fine tune our future-forward ideas.

If we’ve thrown the baby (read: traditional wisdom and proven techniques) out with the bathwater, now is the time to integrate the tried and true once again. Incorporating savvier software solutions, apps and digital systems can make everything run more smoothly and efficiently. Of course, this retrograde could also bring a welcome relief from device dependency. Leave the cellphones in bags and skip the Skype sessions in favor of more IRL face time. Analog hangouts are so refreshing! Uranus is the community planet, so many of us will question where exactly we belong. Since retrogrades rule the past, we could reconnect to groups and humanitarian missions (also Uranus’ wheelhouse) that fulfilled us once before. But don’t go sacrificing individuality for “group think.” The herd mentality could lead us astray now and it’s important to maintain our critical thinking skills in the face of peer pressure.

The Weekly Astrology Forecast is Out ~ Emotions Run Wild!

The stars are serving it up, family style this week! On Wednesday, July 15 the annual new moon in Cancer brings its warm-fuzzy beams to the world. Cozy, intimate Cancer energy reminds us to appreciate the people in our inner circles—the ones we often take for granted. As the zodiac’s most feminine sign, the ladies in our lives will play starring roles under the Cancer new moon. Consider this a cosmic Mother’s Day, Sadie Hawkins Dance and Ladies Night rolled into one. Call your mama and make a point of connecting to the intriguing women hovering about. With our nesting instincts activated by la luna, spending time at home base helps us feel more centered. In the market for a Home-Sweet-Home? This domestic new moon could reveal a dream listing or inspire a remodel or decorating spree.

Head’s up! The emotion ocean will run deep as this new moon washes up alongside FIVE other planets in water signs: The expressive Sun and Mercury will be in Cancer, as well as motivator Mars. Dreamy Neptune is drifting through Pisces, while stable Saturn is anchored in Scorpio. There’s no time like the present for a family reunion or to get the #girlgang together for some quality bonding time. Just keep the drunken uncle and crazymaking cousins off the guest list. On Friday, tempestuous Pluto will directly oppose combative Mars and quicksilver Mercury. And both planets will form a combustible square to Uranus on Saturday, setting the stage for explosive emotions. These troubling transits could make us all a little too quick to fire off a round of defensive jabs or critical commentary. Power struggles may erupt in our closest relationships, too. It’s going to take some serious self-control to make it through the weekend without any drama. May we suggest venting to a levelheaded friend and cooling down before getting in anyone’s face? Emotions are best expressed when we’ve had a chance to step back and view them objectively, NOT in the heat of the moment.

Venus switches signs on Saturday the 18^th, heading into Virgo for a brief, two-week staycation. Acts Of Service is officially the love language of this Venus phase (a nod to Dr. Gary Chapman’s The 5 Love Languages. Ask not what your partner can do for you. Instead, find ways to be helpful, encouraging and supportive of the one you love. Not that we should mistake this phase for martyrdom. Keep the balance of giving and receiving balanced to avoid resentment or burnout. (Or worse, going from Hot Mama to Mother Hen with one too many a favor.) Venus in Virgo likes things spelled out in plain text. Simply asking for what we need—without all the backstory and apologies—is the quickest way to get it. Another mantra to adopt for the remainder of July? When you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Open up that shared calendar, lovebirds, and set some dates in stone. Those festival tickets aren’t going to reserve themselves—hello!

Head’s up: From July 25 to September 6, Venus will be retrograde—in Virgo until July 31, then inching back into Leo for the remainder of its backspin. Old quarrels could crop up, especially when it comes to those nitpicky quirks you continually clash over. Old flames could start flash fires again but Venus’ backspin can also send us on a sentimental voyage. More on that in next week’s horoscope, but if you need to buttress your emotional fort against an ex’s charms, do the necessary un-friending and damage control this weekend!   The fabulous Ophira and Tali Edut, known as The AstroTwins, are identical twin sisters and professional astrologers a big thank you to them for bringing this weeks astrology forecast to us!

The Weekend Love Forecast ~ Emotions Run Wild!

The Moon will be in sensual Taurus all day Friday and into Saturday night. While this might set up a perfect date night for Friday evening, you’ll want to keep things as light as possible by Saturday night. This is because the Taurus Moon will be in opposition to restrictive Saturn. You’ll go from emotionally open to shut in the blink of an eye. Or, it’s possible that you’ll get your hopes high romantically, only to be disappointed by circumstances beyond your control.

Then, the Moon will enter Gemini on Saturday night turning emotional matters into “food for thought” for the rest of the weekend. Still, don’t expect to want to spend all of your time thinking about love. On Sunday, the Sun will square off with Uranus making everyone yearn to break free from anything stale or boring. Including an outworn relationship.  A big thank you to World Famous Astrologer, Maria DeSimone for bringing us this weekends Love Forecast.

Weekly Astrology Forecast ~ Look Out For Hidden Agendas This Week!

Passion! Drama! Intrigue! Oh, and a side of subterfuge, too. This week has 007 written all over it. On Monday, July 6, the “skyfall” begins as the Sun in private, possessive Cancer makes its annual opposition to seductive, secretive Pluto in Capricorn. Grab those spy goggles! This celestial smackdown ratchets up our trust issues—and not without good reason. There could be some serious hidden agendas, ulterior motives and manipulative moves going down early this week. But that doesn’t mean we have to treat everyone we meet as if they are a potential Auric Goldfinger or Pussy Galore. Simply start the week off on a careful note, and think about keeping a few more precious life moments private. Speaking of which, the Sun-Pluto opposition can bring some seriously sexy sparks. There’s a thin line between love and hate early this week. Near Monday, it could snap, leading to one of the hottest makeout sessions of, well, the entire summer! While this might fall more in the “It’s Complicated” terrain, a passionate exchange could bring a page-turning moment in our personal autobiographies. But easy now! If this could lead to obsessing or the destruction of a stable bond, run (don’t walk!) in the other direction.

On Thursday, messenger Mercury switches signs, flowing into cozy, private Cancer until July 24. Draw a tighter radius around your inner circle. When it comes to really baring our souls, it’s trusted confidantes only! Old friends and family could become more actively engaged in our lives. Since Cancer is the zodiac’s homemaker, we could summon our domestic doyennes now. Put a leaf in the table and research a killer sangria recipe. Social Mercury is bound to bring some legendary dinner party action while touring the Crab’s domain. Start those decor boards on Pinterest with an eye to both comfort and style. What good is that modernist sofa if it’s too boxy to ever lean back on in repose?

There’s also a quarter moon in Aries on Thursday, which saves us from totally slipping off the grid and into obscurity. This balancing lunar event inspires us to self-promote…modestly, that is! Let the world in on your latest developments, even if they are still works in progress. Or, hold a focus group to get feedback on projects. A little outside direction can help us fine-tune before we bring anything into the public-PUBLIC eye. Has your selfie-stick become an extension of your actual arm? Put. It. Down. The Aries quarter moon wants us to aim for authenticity instead of journaling a life that we are too busy photographing to actually be living. All things in moderation is the rule of a quarter moon. So summon that starpower but make sure you can live up to the hype! And if you find that you can’t, use the Aries energy to invest in some self-development, like training and workshops that can take your skill set to the next level.  The fabulous Ophira and Tali Edut, known as The AstroTwins, are identical twin sisters and professional astrologers a big thank you to them for bringing this weeks astrology forecast to us!

The Weekend Love Forecast Is Out! LOVE for ALL!

The Moon will be in Aquarius until Sunday morning assuring that your weekend has plenty of opportunity for unexpected emotional encounters. Luckily, there’s an abundance of supportive communications energy to go along with the Moon’s trek through the most detached sign in the zodiac. This will ensure that no matter how logical you attempt to be when it comes to your feelings, you’ll still have an easy time expressing them to someone close.

In fact, with Mercury connected to Jupiter on Friday and then Venus on Sunday you can look forward to amazing romantic conversations that take you to the most unexpected places! When the Moon enters Pisces on Sunday you’ll be in a dreamier emotional place. This will support matters of the heart even more.   A big thank you to World Famous Astrologer, Maria DeSimone for bringing us this weekends Love Forecast.
