Although the current Scorpio-Taurus eclipse series of 2022 makes deepening commitments and fortifying our financial and emotional foundations the priority, there’s a sense of urgency to finalize an agreement of some kind that (we believe) will provide us with the sense of security we know we ultimately need.

Learning to sit with feelings of inertia and indecision that cause us to act out of restlessness, frustration or moments of defeat is the major lesson of Mars’ extra-long transit through Gemini. The trick is to realize that indulging compulsive tendencies to take on more than you can realistically handle will only leave you feeling drained. But if you find yourself constantly frustrated or restricted when it comes to how you spend your time, is it possible that your long-term goals and everyday dealings just don’t align?

The Scorpio Solar Eclipse on October 25 is a powerful one for starting fresh when it comes to love and intimacy. But just because love can feel breezy it doesn’t mean it’s easy; and while Intimacy is familiar, it isn’t a guarantee. Can Intimacy exist without Love? And if so, how high is too high a price to pay to trade Love for Intimacy altogether? Is comfort and familiarity better than the superficiality of inorganic interaction; or are we deliberating mistaking Intimacy for Love to meet our Life Goals more expediently?

When Mercury in Leo clashes with Uranus in Taurus–exact on July 28–there are bound to be heated arguments, made even more explosive by Mars in Taurus’ conjunction with Uranus. Ironically, as explosive as the Mars-Uranus collision is with both planets operating in the signs of their Detriment (Mars in Taurus) and Fall (Uranus in Taurus), whatever disputes or stalemates that occur at could be characterized as “aggressively passive-aggressive.”

So brace yourself. Because when it comes to Relationships? Thorns and Landmines Abound.

The key to not setting yourself up for failure? Setting small, achievable goals and not giving away our energy in a whole-hog pursuit of capitulating to the needs of others, as this will only lead to seething resentment or outright rebellion is the way to avoid the many booby traps of this New Moon.
Read moreCancer New Moon 2020 (#2): Shape Up or Ship Out →
Saturn's potent influence on this Cancer New Moon chart has a stark “shape up or ship out” feel to it, pressing us to make amends, pay your dues or avoid “pushing your luck” while you’re ahead (or whatever). Plus, there’s a whole boatload of planets in Cardinal signs, hungry for Action & New Beginnings—especially on the Home & Family Front. Many will decide (or be forced) to move house with this New Moon, as its uncomfortably tight opposition to Saturn in Capricorn shines a light on whatever’s is or isn’t working for you anymore.

The Sturgeon Full Moon on August 3 is the epitome of that never-ending Aquarius Paradox, hyper-aware of the gray area of life in its most abstract sense yet decidedly “black and white” if not seemingly detached in their approach to emotions. But with Aquarius it’s always a game of all or nothing—so there’d better be no hedging of emotional or financial bets when the moment comes to, ahem, self-express.

Read moreMercury Retrograde in Cancer 2020: Sensitivity Training →
The goal here is to better understand the way we engage (or refuse to) when confronted with the pain or perceived neediness of others—and to question whether their neediness is really a projection of our own tendency to codependency. So even though it’s not about manifesting our Manifest Destiny? This Mercury Retrograde in Cancer is an extremely rare opportunity to—no, not manifest—but “do the inner work,” as they say.

“Pain = Bad” is a dangerous conflation, so if avoidance of even the slightest interpersonal discomfort or feeling of rejected (even when it’s likely only in your head) is your MO? You might be in for a rude awakening. Pain is growth. The trick though? Learning to put your inner Manifestation Monologue on “Mute” and take in (not take on) whatever’s got you running to and fro.
