From Dusk until Dawn

I hope you enjoyed your summer. I am writing this blog from the UK where I shared my work at the Astrological Association’s 56^th annual conference. It was a fantastic event, and I adore being in a community with like-minded people. We had fun, too. Getting down on the dance floor under the Leo Moon was epic. I have two spots left in my three-day Moon Mastery™ immersion track for October’s OPA retreat. I would love for you to join me.

My dear friend Sarah L’Hrar started an Inside the Astro Studio interview series. I was delighted to be a guest. You can learn about my astrology journey by viewing it here.  

I am spreading my prediction wings on Instagram and Threads and chronicling the 2024 election. It is a fascinating Shakespearean drama.  I am putting my tongue on the third rail by discussing politics, but I feel an inner calling to do so. I have spent enough time self-censoring.  I respect others' points of view and understand I will alienate some. The draining South Node is conjunct with my natal Uranus, which rules elections. I expect my preferred choice, Kamala Harris, to win but foresee a setback during this lunation based on her natal chart.

The Daily Beast reports that the VP candidate Tim Walz’s estranged brother is a Trump supporter and is considering attacking his brother’s character.  At the New Moon, attacking Mars in Gemini (siblings) will tensely square deceptive Neptune in Pisces (alcohol/ lies) sextile Pluto (betrayal) in Capricorn (government). All planets are at the 29^th degree of crisis and decay. Mars enters the familial sign of Cancer on Sep 4; an attack against a family member also aligns with this transit.  Will he endorse Trump, spill secrets, and/or spread lies? The New Moon is conjunct Tim Walz’s Pluto, so shame and embarrassment are possible. Accusations may concern pleasures of the flesh. Saturn in Pisces (escapism) will station direct opposite his Pluto in Virgo (physical). Will this story be a nothingburger, a temporary setback, or something else?

Virgo rules the health. I suggest focusing on intentions that improve your vitality and increase your disease resistance. On September 17th, we will have the first lunar eclipse at 25 Pisces, a sign associated with hospitals, illness, and physical weakness. I recommend not dismissing the warnings about mosquito-borne diseases, including EEE, West Nile Virus, and sloth fever. Follow precautions to stay safe. If you live in an impacted area, wearing long sleeves and pants, applying insect repellent, and avoiding exposure from dusk until dawn are some suggestions. To dive deeper into the lunation, purchase the recording for the New Moon workshop.

✨ Music is medicine. Create a playlist to help you feel grounded, supported, and loved. It should help you get out of your head and into your body.

🎈 Where can you bring a beginner’s mind to make an old way of doing things to improve the process?

🏆 Examine your relationship with perfectionism. Can you embrace the good?

🎵 The song of the lunation is Count on Me by Bruno Mars.

Next year will bring significant energetic shifts as Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune move from internal yin signs to external yang signs. October is filling up. I suggest booking your astrology consultation now to explore how to best use the shifting energies for success.

Warmly,
