​A warm hello.
As I mentioned in your Friday forecast, here are the barren Moon cycle dates, for waxing and shaving, during the winter season.
These are based on a waning Moon and when the Moon is in a barren Sign of the Zodiac.
When you follow these dates consistently, you’ll notice hair regrowth starts to slow and thin out.
All you have to do is stick to these dates, whenever you wax or shave.
Great waxing, shaving dates for winter:
June: 8, 12, 13, 17
July: 5, 6, 9, 10, 14, 15
August: 6, 10, 11, 15

​A warm hello.

With the Full Moon in Sagittarius ahead, there’ll be excitement and spontaneity in the air, plus a tendency to ‘wing it’ and chance our luck.

Sagittarius is a Fire Sign – there’ll be a feisty undertone that brings issues to a head or plans that have been languishing, to fruition.

The planets Mercury and Uranus conjunct in Taurus could bring surprise news.

Venus moving into Leo next week will join the planet Mars; this will generate a passionate demonstrative energy in relationships and for things we really care about.   Venus’s transit of Leo will be a long one – it will linger there until Oct.9th!

A warm hello.

The Moon, starting off in Leo with the planet Mars, will bring a surge of energy and a little stress to get something done!

The Moon then travels out here on its own, forming all kinds of aspects – we’ll need to avoid a tendency to fragment our attention and efforts.

Saturn linking with the Sun, Venus and Mars will draw a sense of responsibility to the fore – you’ll need to take over, plan ahead or follow through with an important matter, task or commitment.

A beautiful grand trine when the Moon reaches Libra, with Pluto in Aquarius and Sun in Gemini will bring a special highlight or achievement.

One more thing, a heads up that I will be posting the moon cycle dates for cutting your hair on Monday – these dates are to encourage hair growth and condition.   The following Monday, I will post the barren moon dates for waxing and shaving.

Now for the next 7 days:

ARIES.   The Moon with Mars in Leo here promises a fun outing, activity or encounter; it will take a spontaneous, enthusiastic effort to make the most of this.   Dealing with a problem or task that takes you off at tangents will test your resourcefulness; zero in on what is most important, to pull it together.   A slow-moving commitment or long-term goal may be proving an endurance test; it’s time to stay focused and carry on!   A meaningful exchange or special plans with a loved one will be an emotional highlight.
TAURUS.   The Moon with Mars in Leo will spark a surge of action with a domestic or family project; alternatively, extra family engagement or a domestic task that’s quite hard work will stretch your resources.   Keep tabs on spontaneous spending in the days ahead – money could flow out fast whilst you’re having fun or getting out and about!   Keeping a promise to a friend or associate will take a conscientious effort.   A special achievement on the job will do you proud.
GEMINI.   Here are the Moon and Mars – travelling extra distances will keep you on the go and test your patience.   Unexpected happenings at home or with the family will keep you on your toes; keep your cool so you don’t get flustered.   A hefty personal or professional commitment will be a huge task; it will be up to you to lead the way.   A special invitation or caring gesture from another will be a joy for the heart.
CANCER.   With this Moon/Mars energy, there’ll be a pressing financial matter to tackle or sudden extra expenses.   An overdue conversation will be a chance to broach an issue with another that’s been bothering you; it will take clear focused communication to clear the air.   Adjusting to a new environment or fitting in with a new group of people will be a learning experience.   A new household possession will add to your home comforts and a long-awaited get-together will be a joy.
LEO.   The Moon and Mars are in your Zodiac Sign: there’ll be a personal or professional meeting that’s important to you; you’ll be keen to build fences, build a new relationship or take a stand on something you believe in.   Curb the tendency to spend impulsively or money could flow out every-which-way!   A financial matter or commitment may be hard work; it will take clear vision and a sustained effort to manage it well.   A heart-to-heart with someone dear will answer a nagging question; it’ll be a fresh start!
VIRGO.   Here is the Moon/Mars energy: a niggling irritation with another could simmer; keep your cool to avoid a clash.   Juggling too many things at once in the days ahead will make it hard to get anything finished; prioritise thoughtfully, to stay on top.   A wearing situation or duty with a loved one, or a changing relationship, will require patience; time will put this in perspective.    A financial boost or special new possession will put a smile on your face.
LIBRA.   With the Moon and Mars here – a fun activity or occasion will be a joy but a bit of a juggle to squeeze into the schedule!   Complications with a challenging issue or plan may be confusing; focus on the end result, it will help you find the way forward.   A big personal or professional responsibility will be wearing but it will be meaningful; you’ll be proving your salt!   An exciting encounter or invitation will lift your heart to happy heights!
SCORPIO.   Here are the Moon and Mars: an urgent request or a pressing work or personal task will demand a super effort; PR efforts will be essential for this to flow smoothly.   As you cultivate new contacts and extend your circle of associates, there’ll be a tendency to try to be all things to all people; sometimes you might feel that you lose yourself along the way.   Responsibilities to some loved ones will require careful organisation; you’ll be in these for the long haul.   The answer to a financial question will put your mind to rest.
SAGITTARIUS.   This Moon/Mars energy could spark travel plans, you’ll go further afield or you’ll enjoy a change of scene and exploring a new environment.   Sudden requests may interrupt your plans; you’ll need to do some quick rearrangements.   A family commitment or domestic undertaking could grow subtly; keep a clear overview, to keep it manageable.   A hoped-for encounter or opportunity to help another will be rewarding emotionally.
CAPRICORN.   The Moon and Mars in Leo indicates an inconvenient expense or annoying financial issue but also a surge of progress with an important financial undertaking.   Getting out and about to new or different places may disrupt your plans but it’ll bring unusual discoveries and new experiences.   A slow-moving project will require sustained vision and strong follow through; keeping the end goal in sight will help you make good decisions.   A personal achievement will be a special breakthrough for you.
AQUARIUS.   Here are the Moon and Mars: you’ll pour a lot of energy into special plans with a loved one, it may prove quite stressful; there may be a few prickly vibes to ease too.   Keep tabs on spontaneous spending or outlays here and there could take funds out in all directions.   Also, keep a clear overview with a big financial commitment, your budget, an expensive undertaking or purchases, will give you some much-needed control.   An unusual outing or experience will whet your appetite for more.
PISCES.   The Moon with Mars in Leo denotes a strenuous physical task will push you to the max; alternatively, a health, diet or fitness goal will ask a lot of you.   Trying hard to please someone or to please too many people could be wearing; take care you don’t lose sight of your overall goal!   Taking greater charge of a task or undertaking that you’ve been leaving to someone else will help you to steer it in a positive direction.   A good deal or stroke of good fortune financially will give you a lift.

​A warm hello.
The planet Mars has just moved into Leo, and it will transit Leo until July 10th!
This will bring situations and tasks that contest who is in charge – there’ll be times when it is important to take charge, and times when it’s important to acknowledge someone else’s authority and decisions – and the challenge will be to recognise the difference!
It will take astute judgement and an understanding of the big picture to get this right!
Wishing you joy,
Karen

A warm hello.
The Sun conjuncts/aligns with the planet Uranus in Taurus in the days ahead, which denotes a sudden change of direction or tactics with your plans, an unexpected opportunity or a shake up – there’ll be a turn of events or a situation where we need to think, respond or do things differently.
How do you embrace this?
By being ready to think on your feet and by staying open to new ideas, possibilities and different points of view.   Resourcefulness, enterprise and an experimental approach will serve you very well!
Wishing you joy,
Karen
