My lovely friends, I’ve been hibernating in a cave, regrowing a limb like an octopus post-shark attack for the last four months. Back on the Aries New Moon in April my painting hand was badly mauled in a dog attack while I was painting a two-storey mural in public housing (part of a multi-mural project I’d been curating & project managing since November). It’s been a long slow process of recovery. I’d hoped to emerge from my cave on this Leo New Moon to share some of the big astrology coming our way but I burned myself out trying lol, which made me realise that I’m not quite back to ‘normal’ & that I wanted to let you know why 👻 It’s been a bit traumatic but my injury has also been teaching me a bloody lot about limitations and boundaries & about how my urge to be of service can easily veer into workaholism and make me vulnerable to exploitation. I’m still learning how to assert boundaries for self care & how to do social media properly! Cue: This week’s astrology! 💥
So on today’s Leo New Moon I’ve been trying to attune to the wisdom of cats, basking in the literal and metaphorical sunshine, shoring up energy to act with power, grace & courage down the track. But as you can see, there’s a fair bit of room for improvement. Jupiter turned retrograde three hours after the New Moon & as it moves backwards through Aries it tests our belief in ourselves. But we’re building muscles every time we practice leaps of faith. This New Moon also leads us into some of the biggest astrology of the year & on Saturday & Sunday we’re likely to feel the pressure building. On Monday Mars meets Uranus in Taurus. Open all channels to receive insights & intuitions but be mindful of the potential for accidents. On Tuesday, the North Node meets Mars & Uranus at 18 degrees, intensifying the electrical, unexpected energy. This is huge astrology, which initiates a new 15 year cycle that contains the power to liberate energy from old patterns & revolutionise the way we attract energy & resources whilst disrupting capitalist models of self-worth in favour of value ecosystems that nourish abundance through diversity.
Uranus rules breakthroughs in innovation as well as shocks that liberate. In Taurus it rules the kinds of disruptions in supply chains, shocks in inflation and the price of food, fuel, gas and electricity, we’ve been seeing for months, triggered by the climate disasters and the Russian invasion of Ukraine - a shocking war (Uranus) over territory (Taurus). But these events have also compelled governments to begin getting serious - at last - about investing in renewable energy solutions, food security and minimising the impacts of climate change. These same kinds of forces are at work in our personal lives and unexpected events hold the power to radically shift the status quo, influencing the way we value our talents, skills and resources to take action in the period ahead.
If you’re curious to explore the influence of these magical influences in your chart, send me a DM me lovelies. I’ve started doing readings again and I’m in the process of updating my website but I am exceedingly slow!!! And finally, one of the gifts my injury gave me was the joy and liberation of making art with my left hand. This left-handed number captures the vibe I’ve been aiming for today, I didn’t get it right but I will continue practicing tomorrow 🌞🦁🌑🌙
And finally finally! Get out and have a look at the Piscis Austrinids meteor shower around 11pm tonight if you can! Should be near the east about 45 degrees above the horizon, and the Southern Delta Astrinids tomorrow around 11pm, 45 degrees above horizon, east-north-east 🌟🌟🌟
