'Man plans and God laughs’
Not so much about religion but more so, about how the cosmos works in mysterious ways. Don’t get so focused on the future that you don’t sit in the present .. that’s my message this week and I hope you embrace it. Life is not logical or linear, and right now life is testing us; we encounter many challenges and face great adversity that grows, stimulates and encourages us - yet, we only notice later on the positivity that stems from events such as these.
Right now, many of us value genuine collaboration - we have integrity and precision yet we are struggling. With Mercury retrograde, we feel disrupt in our daily life. That’s ok - this all cyclical and it happens 3 x a year for 3 weeks at a time. Nothing we cannot handle. Within this, we have Mars circulating in Leo and Chiron retrograde - the healer of deep trauma, it is a great super power in the night sky . After 7 years of Pisces energy, Chiron is now in Aries until 2027. In Aries, Chiron is all about personal identity, walking our ‘own’ path and loving the journey we are on. So, throughout this retrograde in Aries alongside Mercury retrograde in Leo; we can expect to confront what we no longer need, what we want to discard but are afraid too - it wants to rewire and give individual truth to personal growth. Slow movement now with everything in life; but the message the universe is giving out is coming through. Illuminate, Illuminate, Illuminate... we are the light in the dark.
May your cup runneth over..
With love,
Srna
Aries: March 21 - April 19
Acknowledge your part in a given situation, Aries. What you are is what you attract in this life; you’re responsible for your own actions, not that of others. This week, focus on releasing judgement. Wherever we are in the current time, is exactly where we need to be. We all grow differently, crookedly and spontaneously. In a current situation, you’re being asked to honour a situation and then let it go. There is not much left here; you know it and they know it. Something in your heart feel’s a tad reluctant - if you’re afraid, know that it’s normal. However, staying in a rotting situation both work/relationship wise only poisons thyself. With Mercury now retrograde, you may be trying to project thing’s onto others, or even just your life path. If a period of stagnation has occurred, someone might come in now and take this feeling away. Many fire sign’s, have been clinging onto the idea of something and with Mars (your ruling planet) in Leo (your sister sign) you’re going to begin to work hard to make things move forward. It’s your choice how you react to every situation; don’t be pouty. Mars hits your romance, sex and love life - so enjoy the action and expect it too.
Taurus: April 20 - May 20
You’ve successfully completed an old cycle, Taurus. Well done, you chose the right things to keep and the right things to throw. The ending always brings a new beginning, there is nothing more to gain from an old presence - finally moving on! So happy for you as I know you’ve spent quite a bit of time in the past holding on, grasping. If things have failed - you are now in the right authentic place for self expression, previously you were attracted to superficial relationship, dream or desire. Society often gives us a false power; materialistic things are fleeting - you want that long lasting love and friendship. Now, stand tall in the truth of your situation, you’re moving toward a higher good. Mars is in aggressive Leo and Mercury retrogrades here too; if you feel stubbornness in family/home life; ask for help before you rage. It’s a great time for illumination and intrigue, you will get some more sense knocked into you and this way you realise why everything had to come crashing down. For sure, some egocentric behaviours are in play here; and to move forward you need to drop ego and walk in higher revelation. Take some time now, to understand you’ve achieved this - you really went through a phase that may have lasted a few years.
Gemini: May 21 - June 20
Priorities are shifting, Gemini. You are yet again, reinventing yourself and the phoenix is rising from the ashes. Decide what you want to focus on, each time you do this, you come back more powerful. This week, it’s time to overhaul what you don’t need and try something new. Mercury (your ruler) is helping you detach and this is in order for mental stimulation, clarity and the next step on the path. Nothing in this time is what it seem’s, so don’t assess until you’ve got all the facts. Acknowledge any pre-conceptions of old patterns; especially your control issues. The truth and honesty of a matter is encouraged now, something needs to be cut and you know that it’s time to move on. If you have been so tired from what you’ve been doing, you’re not fearful for what comes next. You just know this change is needed for you’re growth and sanity, whatever doesn’t cut it anymore - throw it out! Perhaps, a feeling of security in an area of your life has ended, it seems a partnership (business or otherwise) is financially entangled and with Uranus in a hard angle to Mars and Mercury next week at the Lunar Eclipse, you need to be careful not to be taken advantage off. What you say could backfire in this moment, especially if the news if difficult to digest. Don’t worry about missing out, hang back for a minute and let fool’s rush in.
Cancer: June 21 - July 22
There is new life simmering underneath the old you, Cancer. Depending on how everything manifests this can be positive or negative. You have a need for non aggressive communication and action; you begin to awaken to what you really want and hope for. An area of your life seems heavy; as if the burden is too much to carry. As a Cancer, you tend to family needs and requirements and the Solar Eclipse that just passed circled your needs and desires before anyone else’s. This may have been usual for you - but healthy. The Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn that heads our way on the 16th brings a relationship to your attention. Someone who is potentially partnered? Someone who you have previously been with. You need some stillness, take a step back and retract. You have been in deep mediation for some time about letting go of restrictions, negative environments and clarifying relationships. You are gaining freedom yet still unsure on how to proceed, there is always fear associated with confronting an outworn person or situation, however, it really needs to be complete - especially before August begins. You don’t want someone to find out something; it’s a source of mental anguish - July 11th this could come to a head, watch for it. Life has a sense or urgency now and you can’t seem to escape it, you can begin to temporarily balance things out - the light and the dark. You’re looking for some sort of reason; you will find it.
Leo: July 23 - August 22
You find yourself a little out of step now, Leo. It’s time to meet your destiny and move on from past karmic energy, debt and consequence. A question lingers around you and it’s about not being assertive, normally you’re the go getter - running and rushing. For now, let someone show their true nature and don’t act so quickly. With Mars and Mercury in Leo - your energy is without doubt hyped up. It’s about examining your attitude and checking your integrity, life is very karmic now and past energies could feel stifling. Forgiveness is key here; that is how freedom happens. Saturn is now draining your Sun and with birthday season coming up, you need to be more receptive to what’s going on. You definitely have a optimism to life and many of you are feeling rather lively; Mars in Leo always puts you front and centre, this month and next. You’re cutting through the heart of a matter and there is no way you can be manipulated now; on the 16th Lunar Eclipse, you’re demanding. You won’t put up with lower vibrational energy - you’re inclined to be favoured ahead of others now and your plans are approved fast by the cosmos. Be patient, and make sure you have an exit strategy to protect yourself.
Virgo: August 23 - September 22
You’re less focused on ‘others’ and more introspective, gentle I suppose Virgo. Perhaps, you know what must be sacrificed in order to get things right within self. If something has become too much of a strain, why are you so nervous to let it go? Progress in some sense has been delayed, and it’s because you were closing off to the opportunities that had been presenting themselves. The way you love is changing, day by day. You begin to filter who and what you let in, something in your heart space has changed. Maintain a guard; find someone who shares your standard. With Mars in Leo now, you’re much more apt to sit behind the scenes and reflect. Mars in Leo with Mercury retrograding here too, is quite foreign to you and completely different to how you work. In any case, you’re attracting more suitors that usual and it seem’s like many thing’s are knocking on your door. Potentially a Fire sign, a leader - someone who believes in themselves. You’ve also been holding onto something for too long; it’s time to let it go and get out of that place of ‘lack’. You’re in a pretty good place and abundance breads abundance; sunny energy moves with you - getting out and socialising is healthy now and encouraged by the cosmos. The lovely energy the next few weeks brings is so relaxing - you are slowly opening yourself and recharging those batteries.
Libra: September 23 - October 22
You’re focused on what the future looks like, Libra. The spirit around you now is not to plan, you can’t control the outcome and it’s better that way. You seem uncertain of which way to walk and this could be because Mars is now in Leo. Generally, Libra and Leo don’t get on so well - and this time, you seem to be in the centre for the people around you. In a good way, a really good way. The energy of the past seem as though, a life crisis took place - you evaluated everything and the progress gave you discontent. It seem’s you wallow in some lost energy, unsure of which direction to move in - lost opportunities crop up. You have to take back some control and let go of this built up frustration; cooperate with your higher self. If you’ve had some trouble reigning someone in; maybe your best path to follow is emotional fulfilment. Don’t close yourself off; this will only close of contentment which is always around the corner. Life has been at cross purpose; this is natural for everyone and even though you might not sense it - lot’s of people are in anguish. Someone is coming along who will recognise you and see you. Wait for them and in the mean time, cut out the blocks. Create a life for yourself where you can have it all, for many Air sign’s business/career is nothing without companionship and love.
Scorpio: October 23 - November 21
There has been much opportunity for growth these past few weeks, Scorpio. Now, a new way of life emerges; yet you still know how to self sabotage. Taking a different route is the best alternative now, you can’t keep tripping up on the same thing’s you did many years ago. It just seems so futile to who and where you’re at now. A third party is stagnant and need’s to be removed, in an area of your life you feel quite stuck with someone or some people. Superficial relationships need to be dropped now; manipulation comes in all forms, are you aware of these types in your life. The negative thinking or unappreciation for what you do have, creates opportunity for self sabotage. Don’t knock your own self down; the best path to follow is to make a decision. An Air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) is completely in the mix here with you; they’re on the journey of self discovery with you. It’s not negative, if you’re aware and want to divert this from your path. Mars in Leo, followed by Mercury also in Leo is a pretty big deal for you - especially in career. You’re more focused and on track for promotion or pay rise in the next 6 week’s. Go toward that, a chance for abundant energy is well within reach; you don’t need to grasp for lower vibrational things.
Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21
Life right now, is reminding you that you’re exactly where you need to be Sagittarius. What you are is what you attract, so be accountable for your own actions and act in your highest good. You are not however, accountable for anyone else. So focus on you and let everything else pass. Financial talks edge closer toward the Lunar Eclipse on the 16th, so a lucrative offer may be on the table especially if you’re beginning a new job. With Mercury retrograding in Leo, it’s best not to sign anything until early August, try and hold out if you can. Something always ends with a Lunar eclipse and in the same week, begins. You are feeling rather emotional as of late and I with such a clumsy month ahead of us, it’s important not to dress any truth up and be crystal clear with what’s really going on. People can seem like it’s ‘my way or the highway’ around you, it can feel rather restricting and you can’t seem to free yourself; is it a thought, person or situation? Without judging yourself, step back out into the unknown. There are two side’s to every situation; sometimes more time need’s to occur to truly sense the outcome of things. With Mars in Leo situated in your 5th house, harmony and artistic expression are high on the list, so is an increased cash flow.
Capricorn: December 22 - January 19
All the key energies around you are about change, Capricorn. The awareness, consciousness within you is growing and shifting; it’s the driving force behind your desires and actions. You’ve been through stuff this year to get to this point; now it’s finally upon you. Moving slowly, yes - nonetheless, moving. You have woven a web through your life; failures, success, magic and wonder - there is no right or wrong, just where you intend to go from here. Honour every part of your story; so you have a more thorough self appraisal. It’s not suspicious to hesitate, the earth is here to support you - try to overcome that niggling fear of hurting other’s. You seem to be cutting out what’s no longer necessary; it’s really past focused, you cannot continue a certain way if something doesn’t align with your sense of self. Again, all of this advice is not neccesarily to do with relationships and intimacies. It gels just as much with work, business - something is really tiring you out; something was the wrong choice. Grasp a new cup, an unexpected turn for the better that is supremely well deserved is on it’s way. The 16th Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn is on it’s way and after this; stability will return. An offer is coming through; possibly from an Air sign; someone from your past? You have been involved in a situation or a person, who made you feel as if you were riding waves. Take no more of that; onwards and upwards - seek maturity.
Aquarius: January 20 - February 18
There is a sunny kind of energy swimming within you, Aquarius. Life right now is rather layered and complex, you’re truly immersed in whatever is going on for you - and many of you are likely loosing yourself in work or friendship or love; anything to be out of your ‘ head’ for just one moment. By nature, you are analytical, detail orientated; many times - very content with your own space. But, something underneath is tugging and you sense that feeling of aimlessness. You’re noticing everything this week and feeding past cast off’s - it’s not healthy. Mars in Leo ignites a sense of sensuality in your relationships; it also make’s you more prone to fighting. Heated arguments in relationships can be positive, but for the most part of this week and month, you need to be careful of what you say and how you say it. Or, maybe this is a great platform to finally tell the truth on a matter close to heart and stop side stepping it. To put it lightly, you are super focused on this one individual - perhaps, in the past, decisions have been made that were not for the highest good. It’s karmic in nature, cause and effect. If things were based on ego or vanity; this won’t end well. To turn it around, you must stop seeking the attention of the ‘other’ and focus on self. When most Aquarius are struggling, you can begin to disassociate and detach - making things rather impersonal for anyone in your circle.
Pisces: February 19 - March 20
Are you asking for what you really need, Pisces. Or, have you sold yourself short? Although, many of us Pisceans feel the fear of loneliness - we must speak and create truth. You’re over an internal battle and don’t intend to compromise your standards or truth with anyone in this time. You’re moving away from people who make you feel emotionally unstable; in fact you have grown and matured and it’s enlightening. You are well on your way toward personal journey, take time out to heal if your confidence has taken a hard knock. The best path to follow now is your’s and your’s alone; no compromises. A cycle from the past, has not been closed out and it seem’s to be circling back around you - destiny. You have grieved and come to the conclusion that this situation was not right for you; focus on what comes next - not on what has been lost. You cannot immediately drop one thing and pick another; a short delay while you reassess is for the right way to emerge. Make the intelligent choice, not the emotional one. You worked on it, you tried to make it happen and as you walk away with sadness/regret, you realise it was you who pulled the trigger in the end for the better option; for both parties involved. There is peace that comes with this realisation. The up coming Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn blends well with water; it will protect you and bring happiness. Live your truth, don’t hide from it.
