Here are some insights about the opportunities and challenges that this week’s astrology may offer us collectively. May they help you make the most of this moment. Should you want to see what the current planetary movements are catalyzing for you—what your here/now and near future may be inspiring—based upon your personal astrology chart, we can explore that in a Stellar Guidance Session. And if you live in the Seattle area, make sure to read about 2024 AstroSalon that I’m offering later this month.
As the week begins, we may find a gentle encouragement to innovate, to proverbially paint outside of the lines. There’s a sense that there may be more ways to express ourselves and be creative than the ones upon which we usually rely. As we discover subtle shifts we want to make in our approaches, we may see how being diligent with our energy and being mindful about our movements may help us to more efficiently accomplish our pursuits.
Thursday brings a New Moon, a monthly opportunity to usher in something new. This one, featuring the Sun and Moon in Capricorn, inspires us to reflect upon our relationship to work, our definition of success, and to what and whom we feel responsible and why.
It’s also invites us to focus upon the management of our resources. For example, it’s a time in which we may feel called to balance our checkbook, survey investments, and/or consider an aspect of financial planning we’ve yet to fully explore.
Remember that our personal economy of resources is not just limited to money but also includes such things as time, energy and skills/talents, all of which comprise the capital we can use to architect a richer life. Whether we are allocating these efficiently—and whether they are generating additional assets or incurring more liabilities for us—can be something to survey during this New Moon period. What we discover may help us to create a stronger foundation upon which we can build our future.
Loyalty and commitment may also be important themes during this New Moon. What we may find ourselves looking at isn’t solely the concept of being dutiful but rather whether the people and institutions to which we’ve granted our allegiance are those that are truly worthy of it. Readjustments in relationships—involving how much we give and how much we allow ourselves to expect in return—may occur.
What arises during this New Moon week related to these reflections may hold extra power in helping us access insights that offer lessons not only for the present but the past and future. For example, we may further understand just what and who it was that helped mold our orientation to the concepts of achievement, work, and legacy. And what we learn during this week may also serve as instrumental fodder for shifting our path moving forward. The reason being is that this New Moon squares the Lunar Nodes, instilling the moment with a sense of destiny, an understanding of from where we came and to where we’re moving.
Wishing you a wonderful week!
