New Moon Forecast for September 6th in Purva Phalguni: Renew Matters of the Heart
Hello everyone! Happy Friday!
In this segment we discuss the upcoming new moon in the nakshatra of Purva Phalguni.
Purva Phalguni is one of my favorite nakshatras. This is a "marriage nakshatra" and is associated to a wedding bed or hammock. There is an essence of creativity, expression, fertility, abundance, love and, yes, sexuality.
Purva Phalguni is a marriage nakshatra because it has the capacity and skill to harbor intimate relationships. We can not force a loving connection, but it takes tilling, time, love, and care.
The new moon is a time of setting intentions. This is an excellent opportunity to set intentions in regards to love and romance. If you're single, perhaps it's a time to clarify your vision of a suitable partnership. If you're in relationship perhaps it's time to create a new ritual of connection, begin a book together, or have a conversation that deepens intimacy.
Of course, this is also supportive for personal intentions, healing wounds from the past, and taking time to remind yourself of your own sensuality and worth. We discuss this more in depth in the podcast.
For *everyone*, I hope we can all make time to indulge ourselves just a little bit and rest in divine feminine energy.
I hope you find this supportive and helpful!
with warmth,
Christine

September 2021 Horoscope: Spoiler Alert - Jupiter Is Debilitated. Again.
Hello everyone! Happy Friday.
In this segment we do a full reading for the month of September. We will look at important dates and transits so that we can plan what to expect for the month to come on a global and personal level.
Get out your pens and notepads to take note of these dates - because we are in for some interesting months ahead!
For much of 2020 Jupiter was in the sign of Capricorn. Since April of 2021, Jupiter has been moving through Aquarius where it has given new medical advances and new ways of viewing the health care system. Come September, Jupiter will retrograde BACK into Capricorn - where we will be asked to review the structures and systems within our lives. In this segment we discuss how this may show up in the global and personal sense.
I hope it helps!

Full Moon Forecast in Dhanishta Nakshatra: Turn Down the Volume to Hear Your Truth
Hello everyone! Happy Friday!
In this segment we review current events, discuss astrological weather, and dive into what the full moon in Dhanishta nakshatra could mean for the outer world and our own inner worlds.
When I think about Dhanishta, I think about sacred sound. Sacred sound includes words from our gurus - those who dispel darkness and lead us from ignorance. When I think about the guru, I think about the Guru of the Heart... which is the same as our inner knowing, our connection to Source, or our intuition.
I truly believe that we are all deeply connected to Source energy, but various outside influences may cloud our connection and judgement of the Truth.
How do we remove this cloudiness, confusion, or doubt? How can we amplify our connection to our own inner truth with more clarity?
This full moon is an auspicious time to investigate these questions and release habits that may keep us shrouded in the dark.
I hope you enjoy!

Venus Debilitation: Finding the Romance in Reality + Horoscopes for All 12 Signs
Hello everyone! Happy Friday!
This week we deep dive into Venus debilitation. We discuss how Venus operates in Virgo, why it is debilitated here, what we can expect in the world around us, and how we can best navigate this time individually. Venus will be debilitated until September 5th, but we can expect support from Mercury after August 26th.
Venus in Virgo gives us an excellent opportunity to find the beauty in the reality of relationships. The truth is that relationships are not meant to be easy, light, or fun all the time. They can be annoying, frustrating, mundane, and even boring. There can be beauty in the mundane of every day life and joy in routine and knowing what to expect. With Venus in Virgo, it takes this energy to the next level and reminds us to see our people for what they truly are: human beings. By virtue of being human, we will not be perfect. With this transit, let's remember to be even more accepting, patient, compassionate, and loving with ourselves and others.
As we always talk about, this is simply a forecast for the astrological weather so that we know to dress accordingly. Now is not the time to have high expectations or to be overly critical of ourselves or the people around us. It is a time to be practical, realistic, and steady in our connections. We can't forget that Venus also governs wealth - so it's a good time to get finances in order and resist over spending.
In the full segment we discuss strategies for taking ownership of our role in connection as well as horoscope readings for all 12 signs.
I hope you enjoy it!

New Moon Forecast for August 8th in Ashlesha Nakshatra: Turn Poison into Power
Hello everyone! Happy Friday!
In this segment we dive deep into this upcoming New Moon and its implications. There is a lot happening in the night sky that refers to leadership, authority, and power. We may see the world around us struggle for power, control, or for their influence to be heard. Leaders will be making grand gestures that may rub some people the wrong way. It is a time to be mindful with our father figures, gurus, teachers, and the government.
On a personal level, it is time to seize our personal power. In order to do this, we must assess what keeps us from our power? Fear, doubt, judgment, limiting beliefs? The star of Ashlesha has the power to awaken true desire and the authority to move towards it. Now is not the time to allow fear to stifle your potential. It is the time to find clarity in your path and the fortitude to align with your purpose.
I hope you find this segment helpful!

August 2021 Horoscope: Transits, Reflection, and What to Expect
Hello everyone!
We are doing things a little bit differently this month.
We are beginning a new ritual where we will discuss all of the main transits for the month ahead. We will continue to do our deep dive reflections with the new and full moon forecasts - I just thought it would make everyone's life easier if we had a time where we covered all of the main transits and had them marked in our calendars.
I hope that you enjoy this segment and that you find it supportive on your journey.

Venus Readings for All 12 Zodiac Signs: What Does YOUR Venus Placement Mean?
Hello everyone! I hope that you're all having a beautiful week and staying inspired.
This week I decided to create a segment that gives information on Venus when placed in all 12 zodiac signs.
Venus is the karaka (significator of) relationships, partnership, love, and romance. Venus represents finer things, luxury, indulgences, art, expression, and creativity. Wherever our Venus is placed, we can better understand how we give and receive love and what is important to us in relationship.
Please keep in mind that just like everything in Vedic astrology - this topic is vast and we must consider the house, aspects, and dignity of the planet to truly understand it's nature. This segment is to share information simply on Venus through the 12 signs.
I hope you find it entertaining, helpful, and supportive on your astrological journey!

Full Moon Forecast for July 23, 2021 in Uttara Ashadha: Becoming Unconquerable
Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a beautiful week and staying safe.
In this segment we discuss the upcoming full moon in the sidereal sign of Capricorn, specifically in the nakshatra of Uttara Ashadha. This nakshatra is associated to victory and power. In order to be victorious, we need courage, will power, and - *awareness*. We must be aware of ourselves and our surroundings in order to strategize for success. That being said, which battles are worth fighting? Are you investing energy and time into an area of life with no reward? It's an auspicious time to reflect on these things and release what is simply a burden.
We continue this conversation through this full segment.
In addition, we discuss the rest of the night sky, auspicious dates, inauspicious dates, and what we can expect to see in the world around us for the upcoming weeks.

New Moon Forecast for July 9th in Punarvasu: Finding Resiliency
Happy Friday, everyone! In this segment we discuss the upcoming new moon in the sidereal sign of Gemini. More specifically, we will look at the Nakshatra of Punarvasu, which translates into "return of the light".
I think most of us can recall times of struggles and hardship and how overcoming those difficulties resulted in traits of resourcefulness, fortitude, and strength. Punarvasu is all about staying connected to that developed fortitude and celebrating what we *have* overcome. In addition, we discuss duality, non-duality, and finding neutrality in the ups and downs of life.
Happy new moon energy and I hope you all have a safe week.
