Mars in Leo- Watch the Ego

There is a very powerful transit going on right now astrologically. Mars is transiting through the sign of Leo and will be there for about six weeks --til mid-August 2019. Mars is said to be a “masculine” planet that represents the outward expression of passion, power, desire, and creative, forceful intensity. Where it falls in the daily planetary chart and in your personal chart can be a clue as to where this almost animalistic drive will be expressed.

In astrology, Leo is fiery and sexy. Leo is passionate, bold, proud, regal, and brave on its best day. Leo is a self-oriented, egotistical astrological sign that loves to be the center of attention...to be a star on the stage. Leo plays well with Mars and magnifies the propensity that we will feel towards self promotion, putting passionate and focused energy towards our desires, and applying an unshakeable determination towards the things that matter most to us in our heart and soul no matter what.

But…..there is one caveat that I want you to be aware of. In life, there are seemingly positive and negative expressions of energy and this beautiful Mars in Leo energy is no different. This transit exudes ego for better or worse. While I have pointed out the lovely things that come along with having a healthy ego...an increased level of self-esteem,self-worth, and an opportunity to explore life from your own point of view and develop your own sense of identity in this crowded world, there are also negative traits that are associated with the ego that this transit can trigger.

You can find yourself, or the collective, becoming more arrogant, overbearing, and power hungry. It can create conflicts and wars. It can be an energy that is self-directed and so impatient that it forgets about the highest and best good of all and once this egoic energy gets going in a set upon direction, it can seem almost impossible to reign in.

So, as you see, your ego, the very thing that Mars in Leo triggers,  can be the driving force for some very beneficial things in your life regarding your self-esteem and self-awareness and should not be something that you should think is “bad” or something to fear but it is something that you should keep an eye on. It is one of the reasons that you came into this material world-- to experience life from your unique perspective and to bring your own light into this world. 

At the same time, however, you must remember that life is about balance and considering the collective. Ego protects you and preserves that bit of light that makes you who you are in this world and is nothing that you think that you need to get rid of. It is something to be embraced as you learn who you are as an individual and how you were meant to pour your passions and your creativity, and the things that you do best, into society for the highest benefit of all involved.

Think about how powerful this can be for the next six weeks. If you can align yourself with this potent boost that the universe is providing you, think about the things you are passionate about, your creative and divinely inspired projects, the things in your life that make you feel alive, and more. It can be a time to have fun, make love, focus on fertility and more. You can finally stop hiding in the spotlight and step into your true calling and your true power and be the leader in your life in some area. You are being called to step into your purpose and shine your own unique in this life. How awesome is that?

Weekly Horoscope for July 8-14, 2019

I hope you all enjoyed the energy of last week with all the powerful transits we had going on. I heard that while you may have felt drained or tired, that it felt surprisingly good for the most part. I tried to go live about the eclipse but social media had a diva moment. I decided rather than fight it, it would be best to just chill and not try to force the issue too much. After all the cosmic drama of last week (and weird weather that I warned you about already that would be around for 7yrs), let’s settle in and see how this week will be shall we….

---

You step into the week on Monday with some of that friction from last week still encouraging you to grow and stretch and break free from something that has been holding you back from a new future. You will still feel compelled to keep moving forward, and as I said before, even though this type of growth may not be easy, it will be supported so it won’t be as hard as it normally would if the universe wasn’t there to help meet you.

Some of these opportunities that you have supporting you are linked to you pouring your energy into something you care passionately about and it could be a project or a relationship. If you want to step up and take the lead in improving any of these areas, I think you will find some positive results of your actions. Bringing beauty, harmony, and balance into some area of your life are very positive possibilities now but this means that you are showing up in your life as a leader and not all up in your ego or refusing to brush past superficial layers to get to the real meat of things.

You may be feeling more social than usual when it comes to talking about the things that you are going thru or in your interactions with people that you think feel more like family. What seems like something that could be a little disrupting, due to the propensity for triggers, can actually create energy to bring something closer together.

The energy may feel a bit more positive than it has felt in a while. That bold Leo energy could be partly responsible for that. You still have that ever present energy that wants you to grow, stretch, and expand and leave something behind. There is a middle ground in all this. In relationships, this could look like you doing what you need to do to heal but at the same time trying to keep the peace… but at what costs? Some relationships are going to need some disruption, whether internal or external, if you want to see true and great potential materialize. You know what you want your inner and outer environment to look like and as some truths continue to be revealed to get you closer to your life path and purpose you can then take the steps that you need to take to get closer to a more positive alignment.

This is not a time to get all sad because stuff is serious or because you realize you still have some work to do. This is a time to roll up your sleeves and get to work. Also, don’t try to bring others down or trigger them just because you are in your feels. Be mature in how you handle yourself during this time. These changes are changes that you need to make for yourself in your relationships with others and for your own betterment and if you find information that doesn’t sit well with what you want your life to look like in the future, you need to be brave enough to let it go.

Towards the middle of the week, Scorpio energy comes in further drawing our attention to things. Any manipulation, trust issues, or power struggles will be highlighted. You also will be fixed on what you want in life and hell bent on getting it so be aware. You could be feeling moody or pushy but this is something you really want to try and work out inside. I believe that even if you get triggered so much that you know what has to happen, sit with it until you have worked thru it. What you should not do is use your revelations to try to change someone and make them what something they aren’t just because you aren’t brave enough to do what’s right for you.

If you are in a secure place in life then you still may be feeling a little off internally, but you will find that you can easily process these emotions and you can find yourself growing closer to someone you intimately care about thru this process. It is also a good time to step back from life and do something fun and sexy for yourself like taking a nice bath or something self care related that makes you feel good.

Another good pocket of luck that I see around midweek is linked to the fact that you may be finally realizing the things that you want to change or need to change and manifest and have the power and the energy and the drive to actually do what you need to do. You also have the patience. As I keep stating, combining all these opportunities to elevate your life doesn’t necessarily feel good because it is all about pushing past limiting things in your life but you have so much support in doing so, so trust the process. This can feel like breaking free, reclaiming your freedom, picking a new direction in life, and doing it boldly and positively.

While I like how the energy picks up, the energy closer to Friday is great. You have these harmonious and supportive energies around yourself, love, creation and moving towards something optimistic and expansive. It may require you to take safe ,calculated risks, but it’s a cool day.

As we round out the week, take some time to get out and about if you can. Maybe visit somewhere familiar, your favorite restaurant, or hang out with family. Don’t overdo it but do let loose a little and enjoy some of the things that make you happy. If you have projects around the home to settle up, not new ones, this is a good time to do so.

You will feel a little more like finding moments for yourself around Sunday as I see the energy lean more towards family issues or being at home in your comfort zone. I see masculine/feminine issues which could play out in a multitude of ways in your life including something as simple as finding some rest instead of going, doing, and forcing all the time. Go ahead and plan for the upcoming week and get some chores done closer to the home you need to get done, but rest and get ready for the Full Moon Lunar ellipse that will soon be here.

How To Hear your Intuition

I have been invited to be a weekly guest contributor over at The Spiritual Daily and to kick off my first post, I wanted to share with you all, one of the techniques that I teach my students when it comes to learning how to tap into your intuition.

Read on for the article and to learn what your intuition sounds like…. especially if you are feeling a little down and lost and searching for something that can help you.

---

You’re sitting in your car in the most annoying traffic jam ever. It’s bumper to bumper and it’s not moving at all! You start fumbling around with your music controls to try to find something that will make the commute less painful. Finally, you find a song that you know you have heard before and you have fallen in love with it again. It’s catchy, it’s upbeat, it’s your jam. But, there’s a problem, you can’t remember the name of it and the info is not coming up on your screen. You really want to know the name of the song so that you can add it to your playlist so it’s going to bug you to not know the name of it. The whole way home, all you can think about is trying to remember the name of the song to no avail.

Fast forward to later. You are home cooking some dinner and have finally been able to stop trying to figure out the name of the song. As you are stirring your spaghetti sauce in an almost meditative state, something suddenly hits you. The name of the song. A little voice pops up in your head and it gently but assertively tells you what the name of the song was.

We’ve all been there right?

Often times in life, especially when things are leaving you stuck or blocking your progress, you can feel lost. You’ll try to grasp at anything… any piece of hope or information that you can find to get you unstuck. The problem is, you only end up feeling more confused and out of touch with yourself.

Here’s a little secret! One reason why you may feel this way is due to the fact that you may be disconnected from your own inner wisdom and guidance leaving you to feel alone and trapped in situations that can bring you down. 

If this has gone on for a long time, you may not even realize that you even have an inner guidance system that can help you. Maybe you have never been taught about it, maybe you heard about it but fail to recognize how it works in YOUR life.

Whenever you need to, you have an inner voice that mimics the example I have given you about the song and is a clue to what it may feel like when your inner guidance is trying to help you on your path. The example that I shared with you about the song is important to you if you have ever felt out of touch with yourself because it serves as a clue to tell you how this voice really sounds in your life. It may have evaded you in the past. You may have never paid attention to it. Or maybe your fears, anxieties, or your ego and thoughts may have blocked it’s true nature.

A simple reminder for you is that this inner voice you seek, it’s not something you have to force, like trying to remember that song. It is a voice that is assured and matter of fact. It comes through when you are least likely to expect it but what it has to say is quiet and has the exact information that you need or may have been looking for.

When you are trying to tune into your inner guidance… your intuition, I want you to remember how it sounds when you finally remembered the name of that song. That is how your inner guidance may sound to you. Over time, when you honor this voice, that may at first seem quiet, it will become louder. The more you trust and obey it the more it will be there to help you. It will tell you the best outcome for ALL involved so there is no need to fear it. 

You listen to it, trust it, act on it, and then a funny thing happens. You find that on the day-to-day it will get louder, and you will notice it more and more. It becomes effortless to be connected to yourself no matter what is going on in your life. You don’t have to feel lost ever again.

You deserve a life connected to your true self and have something that you can count on to always lead you towards your heart’s purpose. If that connection is currently missing in your life, there is an answer. In July, I will be hosting a 2 day workshop. It is live online and the purpose of the workshop is to teach you how to to tap into your inner guidance so that you know there is always an internal system to help you get thru life when it may seem confusing. You will also learn how to protect your energy from other people’s negativity or other environments with bad vibes so that you can recognize what is truly your’s vs what’s not.

Weekly Horoscope for July 1-7, 2019

I can’t believe it is pretty much fffing July! This week is a pretty active week. We have a new moon eclipse on July 2, some sign switches, and official Mercury Retrograde starts at the end of the week. As I have told you, the way thru this all and the true information and guidance that you will need to turn to when you feel lost and feel like you are our of alignment is your intuition…. your inner voice.

In July, I will be teaching you what that inner voice is and all the basics that you need to know to use this very powerful tool to help you stay on your path and purpose. When you get off track, this is what you need to help you find your way again.

I will also be teaching you how to protect your energy from other negative, lower vibrational people and places and teach you how to recognize what is your energy vs someone else’s.

It is a 2 day online workshop and once finished, you will get access to class videos and materials. You will also get those if you cannot attend the live workshop.

That pesky feeling of insecurity between the old and the new is still there and causing confusion and an unsettled feeling. The need and desire for new information that you may need and want to feel better and feel settled may still be lacking. Sometimes it can even feel like your mind may be trying to not only look for information and new ideas, but to also brainstorm anything you can do to help freshen up what is outdated in your life, create change in your life, and maybe find ideas and thoughts that will help get rid of the heavy feeling.

Yes you are meant to walk in your purpose, but with everything being so dang confusing, it could be causing so much tension, especially internally. You may be getting glimpses of clarity but they may not seem to last long so you then feel like you are on some rollercoaster, whether it be a mental one or an emotional on…. or BOTH.

On top of that, you could be trying to work on changing some things, but then you find that it may be easier to stay in your comfort zone or stay up in your head without taking action or all of the other things that won’t help right now…. everything except checking in with your inner guidance because it is so subtle that you almost feel like you don’t trust it because you don’t see evidence of it’s truth in your outer world.

If truth bombs are hitting you left and right with Neptune retrograde, then you could me feeling anxiety and your mind may be racing a mile a minute trying to figure out what’s going on or next steps.

Mars is moving into Leo highlighting that tendency that I spoke to you about to either be all up in your ego or to use your powers for good… creativity, love, fertility, inner child work, and more.

We have a powerful Solar Eclipse New Moon in Cancer minutes after noon pacific time on July 2nd. I will be doing a separate post about it or running my mouth about it somewhere.

I have been speaking, repeatedly, how you will need to break free from things that are keeping you from healing and breaking karmic ties and these things could be linked to your family and your DNA. Shakeups in the home may threaten your security in some way. This could be something as simple as needing to turn your attention to something home/family/health based that you didn’t expect or it could be something deeper, like learning how to feel whole and secure in your own skin. This could even be positive. Like an inheritance shakeup… remember, it depends on your own personal transits.

I also, weirdly, see some mommy daddy issues or male female issues…

You may have an opportunity to unexpectedly move or change something but here’s the deal, with Mercury retrograde, if it is a new opportunity that you must grasp, you must be extra careful that you look at the fine print because it is typically not advised to start anything new during this time. It’s like, do you expand and grow and move towards your truth or do you stay safe and secure in your little bubble.

While you still have these chances to step more into your truth, they require you to be the catalyst to co-create the life that you want, but things seem so damn confusing.

I see purpose, legacy, and goals that can be working against family and security so there may be a need to find balance. You don’t want to be all crazy about what you want but instead of digging your head in the sand and hoping that things take care of themselves, you do need to show up and put some healthy effort into your life and how you want it to change. Instead of hustle hard, i see hustle smart.

Again, the divine and your intuition are trying to help you step into something that is aligned with your truth but you may not really know or understand what that is so as corny as it sounds and as frustrating as this may be…. trust the process.

You may have to tweak and stumble and experiment before you will understand what it is all for. Please hang in there, Fall thru Winter will reveal a lot and next year will be a very different year than this year. Unless you are doing the same ole with the same ole people and choosing your comfort zone. Are you?

Midweek, a lot of energy is sitting in Leo. This is a time of celebration in the states. Have good safe fun. There is so much ego mixed in on this day that one wrong turn being overly confident on the booze and the fireworks and it won’t be pretty.

Spend some time in the very early morning hours focusing on what it is that you want to co-create and focusing on… visualizing the things that you want and desire in life. You can even physically do all the things. Even though I am telling you this, you may feel like you HAVE to do something anyway, like an unexpected urge.

Friday may seem a little rough after a day where you can potentially have so much fun so I would advise you to maybe take it easy. It’s like we had a sweet little short reprieve then real life comes back. I don’t see anything super heavy though so just take it easy.

Energy nearer the weekend is really positive for healthy detox, decluttering, etc. This could be any environment that needs it. Your body, your home, your mind. The energies I see have the tendency to give you a worried, anxious mind so try to take it easy. Do things that are good for yourself and your family. Keep your schedule free and your mind open because you may have an inspiration or opportunity that assists your very positively but you would have to act on it.

A lot of times there is a tendency to want to wait until Monday to start something new or turn over a new leaf, but the weekend is the perfect time to refresh your life, your environment, and your mind. As you are doing this, watch the tendency to be super picky, a perfectionist, or hypercritical. Watch for analysis paralysis. If there is something that you could be DOING then you need to do it. Even if it’s baby steps.

You don’t need to necessarily go all out with new stuff, but you should be taking some steps to do some stuff, just be prepared that with Mercury Retrograde officially on July 7th, you will have a lot of checking,adjusting, and tweaking to do.

I hope this horoscope serves you well and I hope you check back to see my thoughts on the new moon eclipse. In the meantime, if you are feeling weird, lost, confused, and struggling, don’t be afraid to join me for class

Why: Your intuition is the key to finding the answers, guidance, and direction in life when life seems to be spinning out of control, you feel lost, and you feel out of touch with yourself. You also need to know how to protect your energy because if you are drawn to this class, you may find that you absorb other people's energy and take on their problems.

This can make you, again, lose your connection to yourself. You don't have to live like this and by learning more about yourself you are able to live you life more in alignment with the life you deserve on your true path and purpose.

Weekly Horoscope for June 24-30, 2019

I’m so glad to be back but I did enjoy my vacation and time spent with my loved ones. I am also pretty happy about this week. Even though you will still have to contend with some shady energies, hello Neptune, you still have some really great energy to take advantage of this week. Let’s get into the specifics shall we?

There are going to be two things off the jump that I will need you to watch out for as you start off your week. Like I just said, full clarity still eludes you so confusion may still be persistent, especially as it relates to your love of self and feeling secure, your self esteem, or even your financial situation. What is even more in need of your attention is that by wanting to make an uncomfortable situation go away or be solved, you may compromise yourself in love and in financial situations by making decisions that are not in alignment with your values.

You may have some feelings and emotions that come up so that you can deal with the truth, not try to pretend like your issues don’t exist or keep making quick and bad decisions without having a deliberate vision of your future in mind. You need to grow up or rise up and you have a lot of deep healing to do. You are being pushed to decide what truly needs to be a part of your life and what doesn’t have a place… for better or worse. Things, bad habits, suboptimal parts of the self, deep issues…. they need to go!

You are being pushed and this week there is some great energy that will assist you in being direct and assertive (not pushy or bossy) with those that you care about or environments or situations that are important to you that will help you with this growth. Communication and fresh ideas could lead to positive and helpful maturation and if you can get our of your feels, there is an chance to deal with any tensions and have things smooth over. While this could be emotional, it is also an opportunity to excel and grow.

Even if you notice difficulties, working thru them ,instead of hiding and pretending, gives you a much needed boost of confidence in yourself. Facing things head on confidently and assertively will make you more attractive to the things that you want to manifest and situations that are meant to enhance your life.

You link up with a possibility to add a checkmark or a notch to a better future for yourself on your belt. As you start to stabilize how you feel about yourself and embrace more authenticity and envision your dreams deliberately, you get to pair this with assertiveness and, in turn, create a lasting and positive situation. This is also your chance to speak up for something as long as you do it respectfully and have your ducks in a row.

Midweek is also a fun, exciting time or opportunity that you can manipulate into something very positive or at least have a fun time with those you care about. I even see great energy around beautifying your home… within reason and budget.

Right before Mercury goes retrograde next week (BTW, consider this week the start of it), Mercury will move into Leo with a determination and force to add fun, love, creativity, and even fertility to your life. It can also drum up ego issues so be ready for those. I want you to use this power for good so you need to focus on the former, not the latter. More to come.

You get a chance to loosen up and free your mind from anything that has been holding you hostage and develop new ideas around change. It’s time to have a strong backbone and sense of direction about something you really want in life without being rigid and pushy. Of course, it won’t be fully fleshed, but again, you are being given help to take a step in the right direction. It is all on you!

Watch as you inch towards the weekend because this is an especially strong time when those feels I warned you about could get the best of you again and cause you to lose all your sensibilities. Have fun but keep your wits about you. You can benefit from romance and trying new things. You can manifest something positive and optimistic for yourself. You can take steps to get out of your comfort zone.

Things that would normally seem hard are easy but you must manage your energy so that you don’t overdo it.

You can take positive steps towards freshness, fun, and a new you. I feel like it’s an unusually fertile time in the midst of heaviness. A time to learn and grow and have the things that you need come together to help you learn to be better and do better. YOU will have to find the balance on what stays and what goes.

Just be realistic and continue to check what is coming up against your values, intuition, and mind and like I have been saying lately… If the the calculated risk makes sense, don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone.

Here are a couple of podcasts to help you out for further exploration:

• The #1 Reason Why You May Be Stuck In Life

Until Next Time,
