This weekend's astrology forecast.
weekend horoscopes June 3rd-5th
Gemini :: Gemini Rising
A kaleidoscope. A lot has been under review. The last two weeks have possibly sent you scurrying to gather information to improve your situation. Just dig in for a moment here. Find your center. Let go of worrying, over-thinking and comparing. Create a vision of what you want in your life and who you want to be. This moment is also asking you to define boundaries in your relationships. It’s the perfect example of how our relationships with others teach us about who we are. You are in a moment of great change and just as the kaleidoscope changes gracefully and beautifully, you are shifting into a new version of yourself. This is a big moment to set an intention to be unapologetically yourself.
Cancer :: Cancer Rising
One petal of a daisy. Focus is on dissolving of ego. Let it all fall away. Let yourself go. Try different methods of getting in close to your true self, your higher self, your inner self, intuition (whatever you want to call it.) You might try meditation, yoga, breath-work, self-hypnosis, jogging, hiking, mindfully petting your cat… whatever way works best. Prioritize this. Set an intention to start a 21 day mindfulness practice. You are ready to dissolve and connect.
Leo :: Leo Rising
Watering the flowers. Your relationships with friends and your image of your community are ready for a reboot. How do you aspire to feel connected and supported? It’s said that we are not only influenced by our friends, but we are also strongly influenced by our friends’ friends. If you take a look at your larger circle, does it feel in alignment with who you are becoming? It can be hard to make new friends as an adult, but we begin with a vision of how we want to feel, openness to the new, and the spark of action. Set an intention to create a community that truly supports you, and to honor your existing community. Water the soil of your friendship circle with your gratitude. Create a support system that influences you in positive ways.
Virgo :: Virgo Rising
Piles of sand. This is the perfect moment for you to create an intention for you ideal professional life. This is your life. No one else gets to tell you how to live it. You have a choice. How do you want to feel at work? What are you building? Does something need to shift to help you get there? Lean into this feeling you want to create. Do you want more ease? More security? More recognition? More clarity? Call it in. Set an intention to have the professional life of your dreams. Give your wishes to the New Moon, which is currently positioned to help you manifest these dreams. Build those sandcastles high- let them reach up to kiss the sun. The sky is the limit.
Libra :: Libra Rising
Galloping across a field on a black horse. You are ready to explore. Stretch yourself. Shoot the arrow and follow to see where it lands. What is going to be your next big adventure? Call in exuberance, joviality, and a more robust way of life. Where are you ready to expand? Meditate on how you can take up a little more space. You might have to break through and expand some of your philosophies to make this stretch. If you are not sure, ask yourself, where are you making yourself small? Here’s a clue— where are you being uncomfortably polite? What rule of etiquette do you need to break right now to be more yourself? Get just a little bit wild and little bit blunt. Break free! Set an intention to explore, expand and create philosophies that serve you.
Scorpio :: Scorpio Rising
A woman at an alter. Transitions. You are changing and evolving. Sometimes we have to let go in order to move forward. “Let go” can be another way of saying “grieve.” We are always grieving some change in our lives because we are always growing. The grief might be so big that it hits you hard, or so small that you barely notice it. The stages of grief are an emotional rollercoaster, but it helps to be aware of what is happening. Denial (a feeling of confusion or fogginess can signify denial,) Bargaining, Anger, Sadness, Acceptance. This is your time to go inward, get in touch with your emotions and connect with your true self. Make an intention to follow all of your emotions to their starting place. Improve your emotional literacy. Name your emotions as they are happening. Set an intention to sit with your emotions without fear or judgement. What a waste of energy judging emotions is, yet we do it all the time! We are trained in our culture to hide or deny how we feel. Allow yourself to be how you are. Go all the way deep, without holding back. Emotional constipation is worse than “hitting bottom.” There is a sweet breaking open of the heart that comes from allowing the grieving process it’s full flower.
Sagittarius :: Sagittarius Rising
Fractions. The partnership area of your chart is ripe for new intentions. How do you want to be in relationship? Just get into pure vision here for a moment. What do you want it to look like? What do you want it to feel like? You get to have it all. Stop. Read that last sentence again. You get to have it all. Does that seem true? Do you have any caveats there? Have you backed yourself into a corner with old outdated beliefs about relationships that are no longer serving you? We have so many different ways of stopping ourselves from living life to the fullest. We get in a pattern of thinking, usually it’s based on what we experience as children and teenagers. Whether you are in a relationship right now or not, do some vision-board creation this weekend about your ideal partnership. Set an intention to create the relationship of your dreams. Give your dreams to the Moon. Let the Moon germinate these dream-seeds for you. Then get out of your own way.
Capricorn :: Capricorn Rising

Literally make a list of ways that you can have more fun. Then make it happen. This will be the source of your inspiration.
Pisces :: Pisces Rising
A crystal ball. Home and family is the place where you can most easily create change right now. How do you want to feel with your family? How do you want to feel in your home?

weekend horoscopes May 27th-29th, 2016
Gemini :: Gemini Rising
Golden bricks lined up in a row. You are working on finding your golden path. The yellow brick road that leads you to yourself. It leads you to understand your own inherent worth and the wholeness of who you are. Relationships can teach you about your worth through support or challenge— usually a combination of both. Take every relationship trial as an invitation to learn more about who you are, where you come from and where you are going.
Cancer :: Cancer Rising
Mother bear with her cubs. You’ve got to get that daily life stuff together, but it’s hard! There are some blocks. Maybe it’s hard to motivate? Maybe something keeps getting in the way of getting yourself organized, feeling physically healthy and practicing productive time management. Be a good mother to yourself and prioritize self-care. Maybe get some support in this— you may need to learn how to do it. Strangely enough, modern day self-care is not something we are born knowing how to do. We have to prioritize learning how to do it well. Take a workshop, read a book or hire a consultant. You deserve it.
Leo :: Leo Rising
Carrying a chalice filled with coins, ancient and valuable. Bring yourself into your heart center and remember what makes your heart sing. You need to be able to truly express yourself. This is so important to you and this is also where you may be feeling blocks right now. These limitations are designed to help you break through into your most creative and expressive self. So don’t get discouraged. It’s not an easy road. The key is to go back to your value system. Use your values as your navigation tools and let them help you make key decisions that will streamline your ability to live your most creative life. Be clear about where you want to go and view limitations as opportunities for growth.
Virgo :: Virgo Rising
Solving a crossword puzzle. You are fitting all the pieces together. Some of the questions you are being pressed to solve have to do with your home space or where you come from— this could be your family, your roots, your ancestors. Where are you carrying ancient wounds? These are wounds that are passed down the family line. We inherit whatever is left unhealed, and it is up to us to heal. Exploring these old ancestral wounds will help you know your own identity. Get centered enough in yourself to slow down your thoughts and notice if there are any limiting beliefs lurking in the background. Limiting beliefs sound like: I’m not worthy, I’m defective, I’m a failure, etc. These limiting beliefs are sometimes passed down generationally. You can change them! Start by writing them down. Sit with the words for awhile (a couple of weeks) so that they lose their power, then turn them around to something that feels empowering. Use logic! Give your brain evidence for why these old limiting beliefs are false and why the new beliefs are true. It’s a puzzle, but if you work at it, you will heal generations past, present and future.
Libra :: Libra Rising
A rainbow. Limitations may be showing up around how you think and learn or around your community, neighbors, siblings. Maybe you are having a hard time focusing under the pressures of so many different voices and demands. You may have said yes to too many exciting opportunities. So many ideas, so little time to fulfill them all. Turn to your intuition or other-worldly guidance for support. Get some time alone so that you can prioritize and back-engineer some of the projects you really want to make happen. This will help you shine in your best light.
Scorpio :: Scorpio Rising
Deep in the forest. You may be figuring out how to manage your finances or your value systems. What makes you feel secure in the world? That is what is coming to a head right now.

Get out of the problems of the moment and into the vision of the future if you can.
Sagittarius :: Sagittarius Rising
On a hot air balloon ride. And it’s a wild ride right now. This is a moment of getting in close with yourself and asking some hard questions. Who are you? Where are you going? What is the path and purpose that you have set out for yourself in this life? These questions might currently feel tricky and loaded. You could be feeling a little pessimistic about how you’ve aligned yourself. If that is the case, your salvation lies in considering the service that you provide to the public. Do good work! Roll up your sleeves and dig in. That act will get you out of doubt and into buoyancy.
Capricorn :: Capricorn Rising
A bridge. Ah. You are moving though some heavy fog. Where are the boundaries? Has everything dissolved? Spiritual limitations may be arising. How can you make sense of the immaterial and nebulous parts of life? You must form some sturdy philosophies about subjects that usually evade definition. And you have to do this right now because you seeking orientation. It’s not fun to be lost in the fog for too long, especially not when there is work to do. Create a philosophical bridge for yourself that will help you to know where you stand and where you are going.
Aquarius :: Aquarius Rising
Flowering vines. You have to find your center in your community. You may feel friendless and isolated. Or somewhat turned down around the mouth when it comes to dreams and aspirations.

Let your heart break open and find the sweetness that comes from accepting your emotional state no matter what it is.
Pisces :: Pisces Rising
An ancient scroll. It’s possible that you are facing external blocks in your career or vocation. If that is true for you, remember that this coming up so that you can find more alignment. Here is what the astrology of the moment suggests may be the key: Notice what you tend to project on to other people. What emotions and personality traits do you allow yourself to have and which ones do you only find in the people around you? As a clue, notice what bugs you about someone else, and see if that is something that you really want to work on within yourself. Make the appropriate adjustments in these areas. If you can be more honest with yourself, you will find it easier to navigate the vocational sphere.
Aries :: Aries Rising
Crouched in the garden under the moonlight. Wanting to explore, wanting to find philosophical truths, but maybe feeling a little unsure or disconnected right now. Get close to the rhythms and cycles of Mother Earth to remind yourself on a physical level that your primal connection to nature is intact and that the more abstract meaning will come when your physical needs are met.
Taurus :: Taurus Rising
Woven tapestries. You are doing a deep dig into merging, holding on and letting go. Loss and sadness may loom high, if so, remember that this is part of a greater process of acceptance. We are always in a process of grieving and accepting things in life. It’s part of the cycle. Make room for all of your emotions.

Astrology for the Week of March 20-26
Sunday-
The Sun moves into Aries! Spring Equinox! The beginning of the new astrological calendar.
Aries is the first sign. A FIRE sign. Fire is the “Identity principle.” Aries is learning about Identity in personal and action-oriented ways. The key phrase for Aries is “I am.”
I always think of Aries as the baby’s first cry when it is born. “I am” the baby cries! I am here. I am alive.
Aries deals with themes of individuality. Defining of self. Leadership. Self-confidence. The pioneer.
Meditation for Aries from Joan Hodgson’s “Astrology the Sacred Science”:
“It is good for the Arietian to meditate often on the still clear flame on the altar, in the sanctuary of his innermost being. Look into the flame; feel it’s qualities of cleansing and illumination. See it growing stronger and brighter, and go right into the heart of the flame. Feel it burning away all that is selfish, proud, opinionated and unworthy in your nature. Until only pure love, the pure gold remains. In the flame you are one with the Great spirit. His light and power shine through you to illuminate dark places, and to bring new hope and courage to those who are despairing.”
Monday-
There are no major aspects today, but the Moon is Void of Course from 6:51 pm - 6:40 am on Tuesday, so it is a great time to learn about Void of Course Moon.
The Void of Course Moon is an “in-between time.”
Our Moon satellite moves relatively fast— changing signs about every 2.5 days. Void of Course is the time period beginning when the Moon makes it’s last aspect in a sign and ending when the Moon enters the next sign.
The Void of Course Moon is a time of distraction, confusion, and also… openness. Openness to what is unknown. It is flow-y, intuitive and undefined.
At the VC moon you may choose to do small projects like organizing your things. You may choose to go inward and meditate. Take advantage of this time of heightened intuition. It’s not a great time to make a large announcement that you want a lot of people to hear. It’s not a great time to make a big decision. It’s definitely not a great time to spend a lot of money on a expensive item. Things may not be as they appear at this time. It’s a time for more inward, reflective processing.
For those of you interested in marketing, getting out there and getting heard, take note— the void of course moon is a time when your words may not be noticed. So save your Instagram posts for moments when the Moon is not Void of Course!
This week the Moon is Void of Course:
March 21st at 6:51 pm - March 22nd at 6:40 am
March 23rd at 10:24am - March 24th at 9:22am
March 26th at 8:35 am - later that day at 3:45 pm
Tuesday-
Mercury enters Aries.
"Mindset" Mercury enters Aries-- the sign of the leader, the entrepreneur, the pioneer, the warrior. This is a time period to bring these themes to the front of your mind. This is a time when we focus on mental boundaries. “Who am I?”, “What do I say yes to?” “What do I say no to?” Practice being decisive during this time. Practice learning to love yourself fully.
Wednesday-
Sun Conjunct Mercury, Jupiter Square Saturn, South Node Conjunct Chiron
Lunar Eclipse at 3 degrees 17 minutes of Libra, penumbral eclipse (subtle lunar eclipse)
Moon Void of Course 10:24am-9:22 am
A lot of energies come to a head today. Themes: Consciousness. (Sun conjunct Mercury) Letting go of behaviors that no longer serve you. (South Node Conjunct Chiron) Creating a stable base for expansion. (Jupiter Square Saturn) Setting boundaries so that you can partner effectively with others. (Full Moon in Libra) Allowing the Unknown. (Void of Course Moon)
This is a day to bring all of the Letting Go that you have been experiencing during this month to a point of crescendo. Plan some kind of ritual that focuses on connecting with your Wise Mind, your Inner Guidance. Keep your calendar light to leave space for the unknown.
Issues in a relationship may encourage you to define where you begin and where the other person ends. Good questions for today… When anger arises within you, can you express it without putting the other person on the defensive? How would you do that? Maybe begin by owning that the emotion is your own, and that no one else made you feel it. It’s important to be able to express your anger without turning it into a weapon.
Or, are you one who is never angry, but is mysteriously surrounded by “angry” people? The Libra / Aries opposition reminds us that projecting your anger really doesn’t help. Figure out how to take it back.
Thursday-
Mercury Trine Mars
The perfect transit to come down off of the intense energy of Wednesday’s Full Moon / Lunar Eclipse. Integrate your new knowledge of yourself. You have learned a lot about who you are. Today’s harmonious trine energy allows you to do something with this knowledge.
Friday-
Venus Opposite Jupiter, Venus Square Saturn
Receive abundance and stability. You may have to maneuver to get yourself into a position where you can receive. We tend to position ourselves to act and forget to open ourself up to assistance. In fact, it seems like all of the fun is in the action sometime. But we all need balance between action and reception. Today is a day to discover where you can “lean back.”
Saturday-
Venus Sextile Pluto, Sun Trine Mars
Moon Void of Course 8:35am - 3:45pm
Do what makes your heart sing. Find great pleasure in action today. It’s a day to define your next point of evolution and take the first step on the road in that direction. As the Moon is VC most of the morning and afternoon, employ your intuition to help you know which way to move next.
