The sparkling Sun sextile Jupiter aspect will bring confidence, opportunities and vitality. This is a great aspect for making things better and being more true to yourself.  Mars in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces may flavour the second half of August with delay, frustration and things being denied.

Kelly provides an overview of one of her favourite timing techniques: secondary progressions. This ‘day-for-a-year’ technique is a symbolic timing tool that has its origin in older styles of astrology. It’s one that Kelly often uses in client sessions to identify major shifts in life such as career, relationship, and life direction.  This episode gives you a taste of this method via two chart examples: Catherine, Princess of Wales and Margot Robbie. If you want to learn even more about progressions, why not join Kelly’s ‘Predicting with Progressions’ class, going on right now!

This week’s Mercury/Saturn aspect will bring both practicality and emotion into the mix. Being honest and communicative about your feelings, discussing and clarifying a matter from the past, and clearly expressing yourself summarizes this week’s astro energy.  In August, Kelly is hosting a Summer Student Workshop for online astrology students. This is a perfect way to meet and study in-person and is ideal for those of you who have already taken courses in Kelly’s structured ‘Astrologer Training Program’.  This weekend workshop takes place in Orangeville, Ontario, Canada, less than an hour north-west of Toronto.  For more information, click here: https://www.kellysastrology.com/product/student-symposium-2024/

This Full Moon in Capricorn happens near the solstice.  Expect a general shift in focus, priorities, and emotions with all of these peak energies happening in close proximity. For a personal take on the areas spotlighted by this Full Moon, take note of the house in your chart that has Capricorn on the cusp. Kelly also talks about the out-of-bounds condition of this particular Full Moon and the unconventionality that condition may bring.  Kelly’s next course, “Predicting with Progression” starts in July.

As Mars moves into Taurus, we might find ourselves grappling with personal vs partnership matters and trying to find comfort between the two. Mars in Taurus is like a warrior being held back from battle, which allows the heat to cool. Mars is in detriment in Taurus, which might highlight periods of inconsistent motivation but it also promotes an orientation towards peace, unity and common ground. Mars square Pluto later this week will highlights themes of power and control. Mars in detriment can be a strong advocate for those who might be disempowered.  Kelly’s next course, ‘How to Interpret Your Transits: Timing Life’s Changes’ is happening now.  The first live Q&A is happening this week. There is still time to join this live cohort and learn all about major transits and how to interpret them.
