ASTRO WEATHER FOR THE WEEK AHEAD
To book in for a chart reading and a deep experience into self-understanding through the lens of astrology, head here. You can follow me on IG over here.
Hi, how are you? Hope you're well. I want to talk about the astrology of the week. So this is like a little weather forecast. Um, it's been, there's been lots happening. We all know that. I feel like I've spoken about it ad nauseum and this week is pretty chill. We have a quarter moon. On Tuesday, I've spoken about quarter moons a couple of times. They're really, they're really beautiful. Um, the quarter moon, which happens where at the halfway point between a, a new moon and a full moon is, you know, if you're looking at it visually on Tuesday evening, it's when the moon is, you know, half light, half, uh, in the, in the darkness and a quarter moon energetically. Represents the time where we begin to take action on what came up for us. You know, the, the seeds we were like, the intentions that we had around the new Moon. Uh, and so I just wanted to speak about this one, and I also wanted to speak about the last one that we had because, you know, we had two back-to-back new moons. In Virgo, the first quarter moon that we had after that first new Moon was in sag. You know, a quarter moon in SAG is really making us or or giving us a sense of perspective, a large perspective. What's possible, what's meaningful is what I'm doing is, are my intentions meaningful? Do they hold juice for me? And then we had the full moon, then we had the second new moon and this partial solar eclipse in Virgo. And now this quarter moon is in Capricorn. And with a quarter Moon and Capricorn, we begin to look at things through this strategic, I always think of the architect, the strategic like architectural lens. What uh, what are the structures? That need to be in place here. What's the foundation that I'm gonna build here? Through the realm of like, pragmatic, clever, strategic planning, practical application, uh, but through dedication, through being in devotion to the thing, what do I need to show up for and be in commitment to, to translate these seeds into a full harvest? And I, I'm sure a lot of you can already feel that, feel that shift from a mutable sign, Virgo into where the sun is now. Libra, which is Cardinal. I can really feel it and I can already feel a lot more of this kind of Capricorn energy, even though the quarter moon's not till Tuesday. Uh, the Cardinal energy is the beginning of a season. So regardless of if you are beginning. Spring like we are here or autumn where you are. Uh, it, it's irrelevant because cardinal energy is, it, it brings with it the change of season and when there is that change of season, there's that oomph of energy to, uh, move into the thing to make any changes that are necessary. There's a lot of action or initiating energy at hand. Uh, and I've certainly spent whilst immersed in my work over the weekend, a part of my brain has been thinking more strategically. I'm looking ahead, I'm seeing what's left, uh, in terms of this calendar year and already beginning to, to plan out next year, in part because I also have a job at the moment where I'm researching and writing about. Uh, the astrology of 2026. Uh, so I think that's also why I am casting my mind forward, but it just feels like there's, there's that this sort of building block energy, and this feels like a week of making moves and making those moves may be really, uh, an inner world thing or an outer world thing for you. It's, it. I'm not just talking about the external. I know for myself, I've been recommitting or I've recommitted to a particular thing that I was doing, uh, and stopped doing a few months ago and already feel the benefits of that only three days in. But just being back in the discipline or the commitment of something and then taking the action again, this is the medicine of Virgo, isn't it? You know, like we are still in there. Uh, after effects sounds so fucking, oh, sorry. After effects sounds really, uh, dramatic. But the echoes from Virgo season and these two new moons again, uh, are still Yeah. Echoing through, which is Virgo. Confidence comes from doing what I say I'm gonna do. And so for you, if that's something that you struggle with personally,'cause it can really deeply, it does really deeply erode our confidence. Start small. It's not like I've never run before and now I'm going to, uh, tell myself that I have to run three K tomorrow. Like, that's, that's really silly. That's a great recipe for. Self-flagellation and not feeling good about yourself. Um, so yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm bringing these things in because this is, well, this is what's coming forward. This is really the energy of the week. Uh, the other thing that I want to speak to too is I mentioned Venus in Virgo last week. She's here. In Virgo all of this week, and she's conjunct the south note in Virgo for all of this week. So whether you are in a relationship, whether you are in the magic of Singledom like me, regardless of what your situation it, it, it could be relating to. Any type of relationship. It could be friendship, colleagues, whatever. But here with Venus going over the south node in Virgo, we're really able to see any leaks, any lack of, uh, for want of a better word, sovereignty or holding myself to a standard that I feel good about. That's really something that again, we're, we're able to see here. Uh, it feels like our values, it feels like our integrity, and it feels like anything that we need to see in terms of for, you know, Venus, in Venus in Virgo, falls in love with potential and can also. Have expectations of situations, people that may or may not be tethered to the actuality of the person or the situation. Uh, so that's just something to, to notice as well. We, I mean, we never want to fall as somebody who, you know, certainly has. We do not want to invest in. The potential of somebody who, somebody could be in a romantic situation. Virgo here, it's like, it's, she's discerning as hell. That's the flip side. She's so discerning. She can size you up and yes, she can see what you are able to evolve into, but she can also take stock of exactly where you are, uh, and. Where the person that you may think is a hottie is, whatever it is, could be an opportunity, a business thing. It, it has so many different, uh, manifold expressions. So yeah, it's a time of, even in a financial sense, uh, it, she's here in Virgo, you know, like cross the t's, dot the i's, this isn't, she's not. Loose. She's not a loosey goosey in any area. Um, so yeah, that's also at play as we entertain this week. Uh, but you know, really sit in that quarter moon energy that happens on Tuesday, and then we'll be in that quarter moon energy for most of this week, you know, for the, the three and a half days. Of that experience of this phase of the moon. So what are the plans like, and then what's the action that you're taking? And again, because this one is in Capricorn, there may be a sense of beginning to cast ahead and go, okay, what's, what's around the corner? What do I need to be doing? Uh, what do I need to be doing in advance of these things that are around the corner as well? I hope it's a. A really beautiful week for you and uh, I'll see you next week. Goodbye.
