A warm hello.

The planet Venus moving into Libra later this week will subtly put an emphasis on relationships, in particular someone or a situation we’re trying to figure out.  To benefit from this, we’ll have to stay open to the other person’s point of view; we may not agree, but acknowledging it will help us build a bridge of understanding - and this could be a turning-point.

​Wishing you joy,
Karen

A warm hello.

The Total Solar Eclipse, when the Moon conjuncts the Sun in Leo exactly, falling with the planets Mercury and Jupiter also in Leo, is a lot of Leo energy!   With Saturn and Neptune in Aries, this is also a lot of Fire energy!   It will spark ambitious ideas and goals in an area of your life, and you’ll forge ahead with a bold plan or undertaking that requires initiative and leadership - an opportune turn of events or conditions will help, also a situation may change or finish along the way; alternatively, an exciting opportunity may suddenly appear.    You’ll gather information and add to your knowledge or skills in the process, which will be uplifting and inspiring!

There’s a partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces later in the month: Pisces is a sensitive, emotional Water sign (a Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse itself also signifies a strong emotional accent!) - this points to an emotional issue or situation in this area or your life, or an occasion or undertaking that you’re very emotionally engaged in!   There may be times when you need to watch a tendency to be over-sensitive or over-emotional!
