Weekly Horoscope for the Week of 2/21/2022

This week inspires deep self reflection and begs the question, what vision of the future are you committed to?

On Tuesday, February 22nd, Pluto in the sky reaches the exact point of Pluto in the United States’ chart, perfecting the Pluto return which began in 2008. The ideological conflict which is underpinned by violence at the root of this country’s founding values is a major theme for this year. This conflict stretches far beyond just the United States’ purview, due to the interconnections of the world we live in.

Also on February 22nd, Mercury conjuncts asteroid Juno in the future-focused sign of Aquarius. Mercury rules our mind and communication while Juno is an asteroid representing what we are so committed to that we are willing to file bureaucratic paperwork about it. This meeting of commitments and our mind in visionary Aquarius on the day of America’s exact Pluto return speaks to our own personal hand in what future we choose to move into from here on out.

Pluto transits play out over long periods of time, so while confronting the buried wounds the United States was founded on is on the docket, don’t be surprised if there is no sudden and obvious movements on Tuesday itself. This transit has been building since 2008, when we saw the Great Recession only deepen global inequality, affecting the world's marginalized peoples the most. Take this transit as a sign to pay attention and reflect on what vision of the future you are committing to with your actions.

Next week on March 2nd is the New Moon in Pisces. This is the most significant New Moon of 2022 due to both Jupiter and Neptune in their home sign of Pisces. While the lead up to this New Moon promises to remind us of everything that has exhausted us, this New Moon is perfectly timed to give us hope for expansive possibilities beyond our wildest dreams.

Join me and a community of like minded individuals this Sunday, February 27th, for a New Moon Manifestation Workshop.

This workshop includes:

• Horoscope for the month coupled with practical ways to apply the horoscope to your self and your relationships with other people.

• A thorough breakdown of rituals, including a rational explanation from a former skeptic (me) on what value rituals can bring to our lives.

• Easy to follow, clear instructions for how to conduct a New Moon Ritual complete with opening, sample intentions and closing.

Together we'll commemorate the Pisces New Moon by harnessing the power of group manifestation to welcome in authenticity over perfection, gentleness, the generative power of desire, and the potency of self soothing.

Weekly Horoscope for the Week of 2/14/2022

Welcome back to your horoscope sweet trees and darling roots! This week promises much to think about and even more desire to take action! What strategies are your go to in times of intensity? How can you make these grounding activities a regular fixture of your week?

On Monday, February 14th, Mercury, the planet of our mind and communication, moves into future-focused Aquarius. Aquarius is a fixed and visionary sign preoccupied with a future that doesn't exist yet. Mercury is a planet focused on analyzing, processing and organizing information. Mercury feels most comfortable in signs with much greater flexibility. As a result, expect an increase in rigidity regarding your thinking as well as the tendency to overthink until Wednesday, March 9th.

Aquarius is traditionally ruled by the discipline oriented Saturn. Leaning into routines can help ease the intensity of this Mercury transit. Do your best to focus more on rituals and routines that care for your physical self and the people who reciprocate care in your life as opposed to ruminating on the future that you wished existed.

Wednesday, February 16th promises to be an explosive day for more than one reason. First up, Mars, the planet of fucking, fighting, agitation, passion and aggression, will conjunct Venus, the planet of beauty and relationships. This meeting takes place in Capricorn, a Saturn ruled sign. Any relationship status on the precipice of something, whether it is a makeup or breakup, will feel the push to take things to the next level. This transit is another reason grounding into care oriented rituals and routines will help this week.

Capricorn is a sign focused on diligent, step-by-step actions for the long game and greater goal. Mars is a reactive planet and Venus can be impulsive when overstimulated. A conjunction between these two planets means the likelihood of saying or doing something leading to consequences you'd rather not deal with down the line is high. Grounding activities this week like free writing your complex emotions, venting to loved ones, exercising, eating nourishing foods and staying hydrated can help you welcome this volatile transit from a place of integrity with your values.

The other reason February 16th promises to be a firework is the Full Moon in Leo. After the last few years we've had, there is bound to be a lot of emotions pent up in your heart begging to be released. The most optimal time for emotional release is 3 days before the Full Moon and 3 days after the Full Moon. This week is a great one to write out your pent up frustrations and destroy the paper. Fire rituals (with the proper safety procedures at the forefront) of burning this paper of frustrations can speed up the release process.

Friday February 18th also marks the beginning of Pisces season. This Pisces season promises to illustrate more possibilities to us than we can imagine currently. Be open to the expansive dreams that reach you this upcoming Pisces season, while remembering this week's grounding activities to help you keep one foot in your present day reality.

Allow the intense and unexpected nature of the transits this week to be your biggest self reflective teacher. Identify where you can put down all the complex, conflicting and interlocking emotions that come up. Be willing to take accountability for any actions that result from not processing these emotions. Use the intensity as an opportunity to remind yourself of the importance of both self care and reciprocal community care.

Weekly Horoscope for the Week of 1/31/2022

Welcome back to your weekly horoscope sweet trees and darling roots! There is much ado in the sky this week and this month and in true Saturn-ruled Aquarius fashion, there is much required of you in response! Can you trust that the pursuit of forward movement is all you need to keep going? My favorite Aquarian anthem is Kanye's "slow motion better than no motion." How can you apply this principle to your current lived experiences?

Pay attention to the feelings that come up for you on Monday, January 31st, the New Moon in Aquarius. Are you feeling drained by the direction you are moving in? Will eventually reaching the outcome of what is draining you one day finally sustain you? Or can you take actions now to relinquish pursuit of an unsustainable path and set your sights on a future you can truly bank on?

The next 3 days are a potent time for new beginnings and rituals to mark these new beginnings. Reaffirm your commitment to the direction you're moving in or set the intention to pursue only that which will sustain you over time.

Tuesday, February 1st can offer you information about whether the relationships in your life sustain or drain you. Take a moment this Tuesday to meaningfully reflect on whether the people in your life add meaning and sustenance. What about the relationship you have with yourself? Do you have patterns and routines that are nourishing to your well-being or do you have an extractive relationship with yourself that leaves you exhausted and seeking escape?

Wednesday, February 3rd, Mercury—the planet ruling our mind and communication—goes direct after its first retrograde of the year. Clarity, which has already begun creeping in like the fog on a cold night, will only continue to tumble in with increasing consistency. Expect to see a pathway clear ahead of you regarding very core decisions you've had to face regarding your future and the direction you are choosing to go in.

While structural forces play a pertinent role in constraining our options, there will always be decisions within your control that only you can make. Be weary of relinquishing your control of your actions in response to dominating actors in your life like capitalism, people in power over you and abusers in your midst. Trust in your ability to choose in each moment, the people, places, and spaces that nourish you, sustain you, and bring you life.

This week is a powerful reminder that every day brings us the opportunity to choose to do something different. What can you do with that blessing instead of viewing it as a curse?
