Astrology highlights for the week of August 21, 2022:
00:49 – As we enter Virgo season, this week's theme is: Discernment! How can you separate the wheat from the chaff and bring order to chaos?
01:08 – The three big things this week: First, Mercury entered its pre- retrograde (Rx) shadow yesterday! Head's up: Mercury will be Rx beginning September 9 (starting at 8.55 Libra) to October 2 (ending at 24.12 Virgo). So the planet of communication will be going over ground this week which will be retread in the future (during the Rx period). Retrogrades are all about "re": Revise, revisit, review! Avoid gossip and being overly critical, and take extra care to notice the details. It is not a great time to sign important documents, as mistakes can be revealed later; however, we can't always avoid that, so if you need to sign something, triple-check everything!
03:33 – Second, the Sun will conjunct the fixed star Regulus. Regulus is the most royal star and is associated with royalty – it's in the heart of the lion! Its placement had been in Leo for centuries but has now moved to 0 Virgo. The star can indicate success and achievement (think honors and awards), but vengeful actions may lead to a sudden downfall. Bernadette Brady has written about this star, as has Astrology King. There are four royal stars (Regulus, Aldebaran at 9 Gemini, Antares at 9 Sagittarius, and Fomalhaut at 3 Pisces), and each is associated with an Archangel. For Regulus, it is Archangel Raphael. Finally, Celeste discusses how this fixed star is on Donald Trump's ascendant.
09:59 – Third, Virgo season begins tomorrow (8:15 pm PT)! Virgo is an earth sign with mutable energy. Mercury rules the sign. Virgo offers the gift of sorting, organizing, and bringing order to chaos. Virgo governs the intestines, so this is a great time to focus on health, eat cleaner, and add routines and rituals to improve your well-being. Watch out for getting overly critical of yourself or others. We also have a New Moon in Virgo on August 27 (1:16 am PT) at 4 degrees. It is an excellent lunation to start new healthy habits! (And to learn more about the program Celeste used to lose weight, check out: Prolon – 5 day fast mimicking diet.)
14:12 – Celeste will be offering four free, fun, and fantastic Moon Mastery webinars! Come join us!
15:09 – On Sunday, the word of the day is DESTRESS. Take it easy and consider a swim or bath. The Moon enters Cancer at 5:28 pm PT.
16:24 – On Monday, the theme is SYNERGY. How can you be of service? Collaborate with others for the best results. The Sun enters Virgo at 8:15pm PT.
17:51 – Tuesday's focus is COMPOSURE. Keep your crown on straight and stay unbothered. Power struggles could lead to relationship breakdowns.
18:50 – On Wednesday, the word is FRAZZLED. The Moon enters Leo at 6:09 am PT. Uranus stations at 18 Taurus. Get extra exercise to use the fire wisely.
20:25 – On Thursday, the theme is FLIRTATIOUS. It is a Goddess Day. Venus will kiss the Moon in Leo at 4:50 pm PT. Mercury enters Libra at 6:02 pm PT until September 23.
22:03 – On Friday, the focus is EFFICIENCY. The Moon is void most of the day, so use your energy wisely. Don't push yourself too hard. The Moon enters Virgo at 5:24 pm PT.
23:22 – On Saturday, the word is VITALITY. Set intentions to improve your health. New Moon at 4 Virgo at 1:16am PM.

Astrology highlights for the week of August 14, 2022:
00:49 – This week's theme is: The Rainbow Connection! Remember: After a storm, the rainbow appears. Enjoy this beautiful song by Kermit the Frog! (You’re welcome. 😊) And perhaps you’ll find a pot of gold this week!
01:18 – The three big things this week: First, the Sun in Leo opposes Saturn in Aquarius on Sunday the 14th! The Sun represents our ego, our confidence, our essence, and our vitality. Saturn is boundaries, restrictions, and discipline. (Think “ST” words when you think of Saturn: structure, stamina, stability.) Be aware that this transit can show up as feeling lonely or like you’re up against a wall – so be gentle with yourself.
03:03 – Second, the Last Quarter Moon at 26 Taurus is happening on Thursday. This is the psychological integration portion of this moon cycle, from three weeks ago (the Leo New Moon), as well as from the eclipses and the longer 2.5-year cycle. Think about what goals you set at the Leo New Moon, and how that is going for you. Also, this lunation is part of the Lunar Phase Family: Think back to May 22, 2020 (2 Gemini), February 19, 2021 (1 Gemini), November 19, 2021 (27 Taurus), and August 18, 2022. What story has been revealed to you, and how are you taking action differently? Also, Mars is at the last degree (anaretic degree) of Taurus during this lunation. The Sabian symbol for 30 Taurus is “A peacock parading on the terrace of an old castle.”
10:50 – Third, Mars enters Gemini until March 23, 2023! Mars will be in Gemini for almost seven months, an extra long time! Which house does Gemini rule in your chart? Mars will be retrograde later in the year, so notice if a story is showing up in your life. One thing to consider is your cyber security, but Celeste will talk more about that down the road. (If you want input on Mars in Gemini in your chart, check out Celeste's Snipfeed to learn about her affordable “Ask Me Anything” offering!)
12:59 – On Sunday, the word of the day is SURVEILLANCE. The energy is a bit volatile. Stay aware of your emotions & surroundings. The Moon enters Aries at 1:42 pm PT.
17:13 – On Monday, the theme is DISSEMINATION. Share your wisdom with others. The disseminating Moon phase starts at 7 Aries at 2:51 am PT.
18:32 – Tuesday's focus is BRILLIANCE. Stay present for downloads of innovative insights. The Moon enters Taurus at 7:22 pm PT.
19:32 – On Wednesday, the word is VISUALIZE. Take time to brainstorm and write things down.
20:31 – On Thursday, the theme is CRYSTALLIZATION. A day of psychological integration. Things will just click! The Last Quarter Moon at 26 Taurus is at 9:36 pm PT.
21:42 – On Friday, the focus is PEACOCKING. Feel good about yourself. Reflect on some of your big successes. The Moon enters Gemini at 12:56 am PT.
23:25 – On Saturday, the word is DOCUMENT. Get out your journal and reflect on any insights about your Gemini houses in your natal chart. Mars enters Gemini at 12:56 am PT until March 2023.

Astrology highlights for the week of Aug 7, 2022:
00:49 – This week's theme is: The Fool's Journey. Think about fresh starts! Have a beginner's mind, and be open to discovery. Try to be optimistic and excited about what life brings.
01:22 – The three big things this week: First, we are still coming off the Mars, Uranus, North Node (NN) conjunction. In the news, we've seen this through Monkeypox, the increase in interest rates, and the war in Ukraine. Also, this week, Mars in Taurus squares Saturn at 22 Aquarius – both in fixed signs. This can feel like the gas vs. the brake. Watch out for delays and feeling blocked and frustrated. Remember, how can we embrace the fool going on his merry way? Use the energy of drive and discipline to keep things moving forward!
06:54 – Second, the Moon is out of bounds most of the week (Sun – Thurs). This occurs when the Moon moves past the declination of the Sun; it takes on a Uranian flavor. People may be extra this week and want to do what they want! How can you stay grounded?
07:58 – Third, we have a Full Moon (FM) at 19 Aquarius! The Moon is conjunct Suolocin (the dolphin star)! How can you be playful? The Sun is also conjunct Amor, Mars is parallel Eros, and Mercury is parallel Toro: This can be flirty and fabulous! There is also a fixed T-square, which activates the Saturn Uranus square. Also, Mars is on Algol and trine Pluto, which might feel like an intense power struggle. Finally, this Lunar Phase Family is connected to these dates: Feb 11 2021, Nov 11 2021, Aug 11 2022, and May 12 2023.
13:17 – On Sunday, the tarot card of the day is STRENGTH. Work to solve problems calmly rather than taking dynamic action.
16:10 – On Monday, the tarot card of the day is JUSTICE. Stay balanced, speak kindly and embrace fairness. The Moon enters Capricorn at 11:38 am PT. And the Gibbous Moon phase begins at 1 Capricorn at 1:44 pm PT.
18:19 – On Tuesday, the tarot card of the day is THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE. It could be your lucky day. Buy a lotto ticket.
19:37 – On Wednesday, the tarot card of the day is THE LOVERS. Consider the choices you make and their potential consequences.The Moon enters Aquarius at 11:44 am PT.
21:10 – On Thursday, the tarot card of the day is THE EMPRESS. Wear your crown with pride. Enjoy simple luxuries and celebrate. Venus enters Leo at 11:29 am PT. And, the Full Moon is at 19 Aquarius at 6:35 pm PT.
24:47 – On Friday, the tarot card of the day is THE HIGH PRIESTESS. Listen to your inner voice. Trust your intuition. The Moon enters Pisces at 11:44 am PT.
25:48 – On Saturday, the tarot card of the day is THE WORLD. Contemplate what cycles you are ready to complete.

Astrology highlights for the week of July 31, 2022:
00:49 – This week's theme is: Awakening to a new reality! Awakenings is a 1990 movie directed by Penny Marshall and stars Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams. Is your perception of the world changing? Something this week may be a "wow" moment!
02:25 – The three big things this week: First, Uranus joins the Lunar North Node (NN) on Sunday, followed by Mars. This party of three is a big deal and is happening at 18 Taurus! Will we see more on the border crisis or something related to scientific discoveries? Extreme urges for freedom and independence? Uranus can bring sudden, shocking events that change life, and Mars tends to cut and sever – think of MMA fighting! Also, on Sunday, Mars is on asteroid Niobe: Lessons could be learned through children this week, or there could be lessons around humility. Will we see legal action around gun control to prevent school shootings? And, Venus is on asteroid Sappho: Enough with the anti-LGBTQIA+ laws!
09:47 – Second, Mercury enters Virgo, its home sign, from Aug 3 – Aug 25. Bring order to chaos: This is a wonderful time to do mundane tasks that take attention to detail. Go ahead, organize and declutter. Do watch out for being overly critical or perfectionistic.
12:02 – Third, we have the First Quarter (FQ) Moon at 13 Scorpio on Aug 5. It could be intense, as it is conjunct the South Node (SN) and opposite the Taurus pileup. Venus is on the World Point of 22.5 Cancer; Venus is also quincunx Saturn and trine Neptune. Jupiter is contraparallel Neptune, which goes until Aug 5: Jupiter makes everything bigger, and is in a fire sign, so please take care in case of big storms or wildfires. Ensure you have the resources you need: water, car tank full of gas, etc.
15:43 – On Sunday, the word of the day is ENLIGHTENMENT. The oracle card is THE BOX. Consider how you limit yourself. Are you ready to break free?
18:09 – On Monday, the theme is UPHEAVAL. The oracle card is THE VENOM. Speak kindly to yourself and others. The crescent Moon phase begins at 24 Virgo at 10:32 am PT, and the Moon enters Libra at 9:05 pm PT.
20:05 – Tuesday's focus is DEVOTION. The oracle card is AGAPE. You may have the opportunity for a new partnership, money opportunity, or project.
22:15 – On Wednesday, the word is MAGNETISM. The oracle card is THE SIREN. Contemplate how you can be more receptive to abundance. Mercury enters Virgo at 11:57 pm PT. Put on your thinking cap.
23:03 – On Thursday, the theme is DECISIVE. The oracle card is THE SWORD. Separate the wheat from the chaff. The Moon enters Scorpio at 4:46 am PT.
24:04 – On Friday, the focus is REVELATIONS. The oracle card is ALETHIA. Be prepared for the truth to come out. The first quarter Moon is at 13 Scorpio at 4:06 am PT.
24:46 – On Saturday, the word is KNOWLEDGE. The oracle card is THE MYSTIC. Find answers in the liminal spaces. The Moon enters Sagittarius at 9:38 am PT.

Astrology highlights for the week of July 24, 2022:
00:49 – This week's theme is: Facing your fears! Celeste pulled a card from the Oracle of Mystical Moments deck, #13: Morning Dew Girl. (Here's Celeste's Amazon storefront!)
02:54 – The three big things for this week are: First, it's the week of the Warrior Woman! Venus (women, love, beauty, relationships) is in Cancer and contra parallel Pluto (destruction, power, obsession, transformation, corruption) in Capricorn: It's an aspect by declination that has been running for weeks. Also, Jupiter (truth, law) is parallel to Diana (goddess the huntress), an asteroid associated with predation and protection. Additionally, the Sun is conjunct asteroid Isis (a central goddess in Egyptian mythology; the sister and wife of Osiris). She is associated with healing and restoration, as well as fragmentation vs. wholeness. Celeste ponders this energy and makes comparisons to Liz Cheney. So keep your eyes open for women standing up against authority! Or use this energy to watch the movie Norma Rae! To learn more about parallels and contraparallels, lend your ears to Episode 10, "Cancer New Moon: The Sweet Smell of Success."
08:01 – Second, the Leo New Moon is on Jul 28 at 5 degrees Leo! The Sun is in its domicile here, where it can be creative, life-giving, joyful, and expressive. Set intentions about what you'd like to do in your own life to think big and create joy! There is a fixed t-square with Mercury (18 Leo) square Uranus and the North Node (NN) in Taurus; of course, Mercury is also square the South Node in Scorpio too! We may get an idea of what will happen next week when Uranus conjuncts the NN and Mars meet them on July 31/Aug 1. Celeste offers some thoughts about how this may play out on the world stage. Note that as Mars approaches the conjunction with Uranus, the energy builds, often before the actual day. And if you'd like, do join Celeste's Leo New Moon Intention Setting Workshop on Jul 24!
11:30 – Third, Jupiter in Aries stations retrograde (Rx) from July 28 to Nov 23! Jupiter rules abundance, including wealth, good fortune, morality, truth, faith, the search for meaning, justice, confidence, and optimism, as well as mundane topics such as travel, lawsuits, and higher education. A Rx planet cannot do its job as effectively. In horary astrology, this could signify delays and reversal of fortune. Planning and good luck can slow down. This energy will be felt more strongly five days before and after the exact station.
14:02 – On Sunday, the word of the day is MODERATION. The balsamic Moon is at 16 Gemini at 7:52 am. Relax and release. Watch out for desires to escape.
16:06 – On Monday, the theme is METHODICAL. The Moon enters Cancer at 10:53 am PT. Please don't push yourself too hard as we are in the dark of the Moon cycle. Listen to your body and intuition. Drink lots of water and consider a bath.
16:58 – Tuesday's focus is PRIDE. Be brave, share your accomplishments and take a risk.
18:19 – On Wednesday, the word is PATHFINDER. The Moon enters Leo at 11:37 pm PT. How can you be a map maker and chart your course? Have confidence in yourself!
19:51 – On Thursday, the theme is SELF-EXPRESSION. The New Moon is at 5 Leo at 10:54 am PT. Jupiter stations retrograde at 8 Aries. Set intentions for what you want to grow in your life for joy. What is your big vision? How can you improve your leadership skills?
21:27 – On Friday, the focus is CHILL. There is the potential for surprising news. Pause and take a deep breath before reacting.
22:16 – On Saturday, the word is JOYFUL. The Moon enters Virgo at 11:10 am PT. An excellent day for decluttering and organizing. Whistle while you work.

Astrology highlights for the week of July 17, 2022:
00:49 – This week's theme is: No time for Circus Monkeys! The three big things to focus on this week: First, the fixed star Procyon is active this week, conjunct to the Sun (25 Cancer). Bernadette Brady likens this to fireworks – it's great to watch but fades. Opportunities may present themselves that you have to grab quickly, so if you're offered an opportunity, consider if it helps to diversify your talents! Also, faulty structures may collapse this week – keep an eye out. This star is also associated with dog bites and hydrophobia (fear of water). Stay cognizant about your surroundings this week, too.
02:34 – Second, we'll have an Aries Last Quarter Moon on the Sabian symbol, "A large disappointed audience." The Cancer Sun opposes Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto's symbol is "A large aviary," and Celeste makes interesting observations about what is happening in Sri Lanka: Is there an increase in dissatisfaction with governments in general? When Pluto is activated, there can also be a feeling of empowerment and a drive to transform – do watch out for emotional reactivity! On the plus side, there can be profound emotional healing. Celeste also reviews the Lunar Phase Families, so consider these dates: mid-April 2020, mid-Jan. 2021, mid-Oct 2021, and mid-July 2022. What stories connect for you? (To learn more about the Sabian symbols, revisit Episode 8, "Sagittarius Full Moon: As the Fog Lifts, Clarity Arrives"!)
06:20 – Third: Leo Season begins on Friday! The Sun is at home in this fixed fire sign, where life renews itself. Consider how you can be the sovereign in your own life. Leo, the lion, is a leader: What are you loyal to? For a song of the season, check out Katy Perry's song Roar! Leo is also about self-expression and confidence. Leo season is also a great time to organize something on a large scale. (It's also an excellent time to join Celeste's Leo New Moon Intention Setting Workshop!)
08:46 – On Sunday, the word of the day is FLOAT. The Pisces Moon invites you to drift and dream. Accept all opportunities snuggling, as it is healing.
10:26 – On Monday, the theme is OPPORTUNITY. The Moon enters Aries at 11:22 am PT. If opportunities present themselves, trust your instincts and take action.
11:50 – Tuesday's focus is IMAGINATION. Stay present for a light bulb moment. Consider the positive use of imagination vs. letting fear, paranoia, or obsession take over.
14:17 – On Wednesday, the word is EXPLOSIVE. The Last Quarter Moon is at 27 Aries at 7:18 am PT. The Moon enters Taurus at 11:22 am PT. Observe the conversations around you. Stay grounded, plan your next steps and keep things simple.
15:35 – On Thursday, the theme is PROGRESS. What we nourish grows. What are you feeding? Are they the right things? Release what is no longer serving you. Today, you may meet people who can help you.
17:11 – On Friday, the focus is GENEROSITY. The Sun enters Leo at 1:06 pm PT. The Moon is in Gemini at 10:10 pm PT. Have a fun evening. Connect and socialize with friends, neighbors, or siblings.
18:22 – On Saturday, the word is EXPANSIVE. Learn something new, enjoy yourself and have a laugh.

Astrology highlights for the week of July 10, 2022:
00:49 – This week's theme is: Adjusting to a new reality! This week has three big things to discuss: First, the US is in the heart of its Pluto Return, and Celeste shares lots of information about this! Pluto's energy is emotional, transformational, volcanic, and can be a purification by fire; it burns things to the studs and brings shadows to light. It can also be intensely healing by bringing uncomfortable issues into collective awareness. The US Pluto is in the 2nd house; we are seeing fluctuations around money, inflation, the stock market, interest rates, and monetary policy. It is also the house of values: Is democracy holding on by a thread? Also, we are seeing more government involvement around sex and reproduction (e.g., Roe v. Wade). And will we see future government involvement around birth control and marriage equality? (To learn more about Celeste's Return to the Stars reading, check out her website!)
10:05 – Second, we have a Full Moon in Capricorn this week! The Sun is in Cancer, emphasizing emotional safety and security and how we protect ourselves. The Moon in Cap references control, duty, responsibility, and tradition. This Full Moon trines Uranus and is approaching a sextile with Neptune; it also joins Pluto. Wow! If your chart is activated, there may be intense emotions around this lunation regarding the themes highlighted here. Prepare for illumination.
12:35 – Third: We have multiple quincunx aspects this week! This is when the planets talking to each other are 150 degrees apart and are in signs with nothing in common by mode or element. The quincunx emphasizes the need for adjustment – it's like an irritant and pushes us to move in new directions. (Want to read Bernadette Brady's book? Check out Celeste's advanced astrology book recommendations on her Amazon storefront!)
15:35 - On Sunday, the word of the day is AWAKEN. The Moon enters Sagittarius at 1:34 am PT. See if you notice an uplifting mood shift. Get out in nature.
18:06 – On Monday, the theme is TRANSFORMATION. The Pluto Return is exact today – evolution is nonnegotiable.
18:40 – Tuesday's focus is CATHARSIS. The Moon enters Capricorn at 2:01 am PT. A great day to focus on productivity.
20:25 – On Wednesday, the word is COMPREHENSION. The Full Moon is at 11:37 am PT at 21 Capricorn. Be prepared for illumination.
22:31 – On Thursday, the theme is COMMUNITY. The Moon enters Aquarius at 1:13 am PT. How can you assist others?
23:57 – On Friday, the focus is GRATIFICATION. Venus is quincunx Pluto. Watch out for acting out of carnal desires.
27:07 – On Saturday, the word is PURIFY. The Moon enters Pisces at 1:18 am PT. Listen to beautiful music. Move slowly through the day.

Astrology highlights for the week of July 3, 2022:
00:49 – This week's theme is: Independence! This week we highlight the song “Independent Women” by Destiny’s Child! We can stand in our own power truth, and independence! Enjoy the video on YouTube!
01:33 – The 3 big things this week: First, Monday is July 4th weekend in USA. Be mindful of your safety this holiday weekend! We still have Mars square Pluto in effect, and this can be volatile. Also, Mercury is separating from the square with Neptune: Popping off with witty or funny jokes is possible, but be aware there can be misunderstandings. This can be a difficult combo, so stay safe! Also, most folks know Roe v. Wade was overturned recently, and Celeste offers some insights into this. Check out Celeste's Instagram feed for the special report on June 24th for a deeper dive.
05:09 – Second: On Monday, Mars (action) and Mercury (communication) are at the anaretic degrees of their signs (the last degree), and both are in yang signs, so energy expresses outward. In these signs – the signs of dignity – a planet can easily express its energy. Celeste covers a little info on horary astrology, too: At the last degrees of every sign, the planets report in to the malefics (Mars or Saturn), and this gives a more forceful feeling, so words could turn to violence. Again, take heed and be cautious. On a positive note, though, you may come up with a great idea and have the determination to put goals into action! Or maybe there will be a meet-cute, but watch out for impulsivity. Interested in a horary consultation with Celeste? You can learn more here!
08:12 – Third: This week, we have a First Quarter Moon (FQM) – a time when people take action – in Cardinal signs (initiating energy). What goals did you set at the New Moon in Cancer last week, and how is that going? Time to review, assess, and move forward. Also, the Sun will be on the fixed star Sirius, “the dog star.” Sirius is in the constellation Canis Minor, and is the brightest fixed star; it’s also known as “the Shining one and the Scorcher.” Sirius can bestow honor, renown, wealth, ardor, faithfulness, devotion, passion, and resentment. It can also give success in business or “great and sacred deed” if you have a planet conjunct this star. Will a changemaker be born this day? And feel free to check out the Astrology King site!
11:11 – On Sunday, the word of the day is PASSIONATE! The Moon moves from Leo to Virgo at 5:31am PT. It a good day to remember your high and low road choices. Do you want to have a fun day and be helpful. Or leave heard feelings with critical or sarcastic commentary.
13:22 – On Monday, the theme is TURBULENT. Mars enters Taurus at 11:03 pm PT. Mercury enters Cancer at 11:24 pm PT. Speaking and acting out of emotion could lead to serious conflict. Channel your passion positively.
15:16 – Tuesday's focus is BALANCE. Moon enters Libra at 3:24 pm PT. Strive to bring harmony. Keep your wig on straight and stay unbothered.
16:07 – On Wednesday, the theme is SANCTIFIED. The Sun is conjunct the fixed star Sirius at 14 Cancer How can you find the sacred in the mundane of everyday rituals? FQ Moon at 14 Libra perfects at 7:13 pm PT. Review your New Moon intentions and adjust as needed. Keep the momentum!
17:40 – On Thursday, the word is UNBOTHERED. Mercury is conjunct the asteroid Sisyphus. Watch out for frustration. The Moon enters Scorpio 10:14 pm PT. Your dreams could be intense.
19:07 – On Friday, the focus is COMPOSURE. People may be extra emotional. Don’t let anyone knock your crown off.

Astrology highlights for the week of June 26, 2022:
00:48 – This week's theme is: The Sweet Smell of Success! Celeste pulled a card from The Oracle of Mystical Moments: It's #22, Like a Bird. "Surround yourself with activities or people who make you feel inspired."
02:15 – The 3 big things this week: First, the Moon is out of bounds most of the week. Out-of-bounds is when a celestial body goes beyond the maximum declination of 23°27', either north or south. The planet is outside the boundary or limits of the ecliptic plane, beyond the plane of the Sun's apparent orbit around the Earth. Out-of-bounds planets take on a Uranian flavor. And the Moon represents the mood of the people, so you may find that folks are acting out of emotion more easily. On the positive side, we can use this energy to move past limitations!
03:40 – Second, this week, there are some fruitful sextiles! Mars and Saturn sextile on Monday, and Jupiter and Venus on Tuesday. Sextiles offer an opportunity; they are 60-degree aspects and can bring ease and flow and opportunities for growth through people or situations. Astrologer Frank Clifford recently said, "The definition of success is talent + energy + courage."
04:57 – Third, this week, we have a New Moon at 7 Cancer on Tuesday! Cancer is a cardinal sign, which means the energy is initiating. It's also a water sign: How can you trust your gut this week? (Don't forget to download Celeste's complimentary Setting Intentions Guide!) This New Moon will square Jupiter: How can you be joyful and feel abundant, even through these difficult times?
06:08 – On Sunday, the word of the day is POSITIVITY! The Balsamic Moon in Gemini invites us to be flirty and have fun. Avoid mind games.
07:23 – On Monday, the theme is PURSUIT. Mars in Aries sextiles Saturn in Aquarius. Hard work and persistence pay off.
09:09 – Tuesday's focus is SERENDIPITY! Moon enters Cancer at 4:53 am PT. New Moon at 7 Cancer at 7:52 pm PT. Set intentions for what you want to grow and nurture.
11:22 – On Wednesday, the main idea is to SHINE. Shine bright like a diamond. #Rihanna
12:07 – On Thursday, the word is DETERMINATION. Moon enters Leo at 5:39 pm PT. Use the fire wisely – be inspired, not reckless.
13:36 – On Friday, the word of the day is SELF-PROTECTION. Mars in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn. Be aware of your surroundings.
15:12 – On Saturday, the focus is COMMUNICATION. Mercury in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces. Pause to assemble your thoughts before speaking to avoid miscommunication.

Astrology highlights for the week of June 19, 2022:
00:48 – This week's theme is Try a Little Tenderness! Celeste pulled a card from The Oracle of Mystical Moments: It's #10, Flower Spirit. Harness friendship, soul connections, tenderness, and joy. Check out Celeste's Amazon storefront, with recommended books and oracle decks!
02:18 – The 3 big things this week: First, we have the Last Quarter Moon (LQM) at 29 Pisces on Monday; it's right near Neptune at 25 Pisces (illusions & delusions) and sextile Venus on Algol in Taurus (relationships beheading). The last degree is karmic (anaretic) and embodies all of the energy of the sign. Big endings are possible; stay curious. The Sun is at 29 Gemini during this lunation. What are you hearing? What is revealed? Perhaps the fog will continue to lift for you. The LQM is a crisis of consciousness, metabolizing and integrating the lessons you've learned. If you find yourself crying this week, let the tears flow!
05:51 – This LQM cycle is part of a Lunar Phase Family which began on Mar 24, 2020: What was seeded then? The cycle continued on Dec 21, 2020, the same day that social planets Jupiter (growth & abundance) and Saturn (lessons & work) met at 0 Aquarius. The cycle continued on Sep 20, 2021. What do these dates call to mind for you? Is there a theme playing out?
09:04 – Also, at this LQM, Mars is on asteroid Tisiphone (one of the furies associated with justice, revenge, and punishment). There may be an emotional release around anger.
09:51 – Second big thing: The Sun will make its annual ingress into Cancer, which heralds the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere and the winter solstice in the southern. What do you want to grow and nurture?
10:43 – As Celeste lives in the US, she cast a chart for Washington, DC. (But you could cast a chart for the capital of your country!) In the US, the Cancer ingress is 5:13am ET. The ascendant of this chart is 21 Gemini, which is the degree of the USA Mars. Also, Saturn sits at the Midheaven, and is retrograde. Saturn rules hardship and restrictions. Saturn squares Venus at 28 Taurus in the 12th house. Venus is still near Algol and trine Pluto at 28 Capricorn: Will inflation continue to rise? The US continues in its Pluto return; things are being unearthed, and the next conjunction is July 11 in the 2nd house of values and resources, including money. The Sun (the leader) in Cancer also is square the Moon (the people) in Aries.
13:25 – Third, Cancer season is a great time to work closely with the transiting Moon, as it rules Cancer. Notice how people's moods change. And do make sure you're on the waiting list for Celeste's Moon Mastery™ Program! Also, download Celeste's free guide to help understand the transiting Moon! Woo hoo!
14:21 – On Sunday, the word of the day is ADAPTABLE.
15:31 – On Monday, the theme is INSPIRED. The LQM is at 8:10 pm at 29 Pisces. Psychological integration. The Moon enters fiery Aries at 8:37 pm PT. Just do it!
17:09 – Tuesday's word is CONNECTION. The Summer solstice happens, and Cancer season begins at 2:13 am PT. Feelings of nostalgia may surface.
18:30 – On Wednesday, the word of the day is PLAYFUL. Venus enters Gemini at 5:34 pm PT. Get flirty!
19:21 – On Thursday, the focus is SELF-ESTEEM. The Moon enters Taurus at 4:57 am PT. Take time to savor your meals.
20:09 – On Friday, the word is REFLECT. The Balsamic Moon phase begins at 18 Taurus at 5:09 pm. Embrace releasing and relaxation.
20:54 – On Saturday, take time to CHILL! The Moon enters airy Gemini at 4:13 pm PT. Connect with a friend or sibling.
