Hello, my starry-eyed friends! Welcome back to Muskegon by the stars and the latest forecast!
It’s Leo season! With all its exuberant energy, we are more likely to show more outward expressions of our personalities than usual, especially within our social circles. It may seem that everything around us takes on greater meaning than usual and we are more open to seeing the beauty around us. We may be finding comfort in cozy surroundings right now. This may also be a good time for starting some projects around the home environment, especially those projects that enhance or improve it. On the downside, we may want to cling to our personal belongings; so it is best to avoid embracing any possessive feelings. Our financial picture may also get a boost for a time and we are finding more opportunities for career advancements. There may also be opportunities for greater responsibility and commitment.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Barbault’s Basket, one of the most significant astrological sets of transits in our lifetimes, not seen since around the time of the renaissance. Named after Andre Barbault, a French astrologer known for his exceptionally accurate predictions, it has the potential to bring profound transformative effects to society. This is a rare alignment between the outer planets; Pluto, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus, that form a geometric pattern in the shape of a basket. While its alignment began forming several months ago, on July 19 the “basket” became complete with each planet at 4 degrees in their prospective signs. Together these energies work synergistically, especially in the areas of innovation, spirituality, and expansion. Because this configuration will have long-term effects on the collective as well as in our personal lives; next month I will go into it a bit more.
However, how this configuration will impact our lives may depend more on the choices we have made in the past. If we have lived wisely, we will be rewarded for our efforts; where we have neglected certain areas, we may see a lack of progress. For that reason, it is vital to be consciously aware of the direction our lives are headed and what changes we need to make.Here’s the latest for the signs!
Aries, the next few days may bring a lot of positive energy and an increased sense of well-being, boosting your confidence, especially in the area of your career. You now have the inner resources to more fully explore your own creative potential. You are also more aware of your ego needs right now. This “me” energy may vitalize your communication skills and how you express your ideas. Your physical vitality is also on the upswing.
Taurus, You are feeling quite dramatic and assertive now, boosting your self-confidence. You may also be more open in sharing your feelings with others as well as to express yourself through creative pursuits. There is a potential to pursue sensual pleasures or luxury more enthusiastically. However, there may be a preoccupation with your material well-being and a need to work through acquisitiveness and use of material resources.
Gemini, You are finding yourself more talkative and charming than usual, maybe even more clever. Your communication skills are excellent although your attention may tend to be somewhat scattered at times. Your viewpoint about plans and aspirations for the future come into focus and may need to be changed. This is a good time to be more consciously aware of what is going on around you, as well as make solid plans for the future.
Cancer, There may be a sense of confusion in your life now and you may have to confront those parts of your psyche that have been influencing your life on a subconscious level. This can be a good time to see how well these areas have been integrated into your reality. You have the opportunity now to access these hidden parts and assimilate them into your overall consciousness. With this, you may experience significant inner transformation and peace.
Leo, unconscious motivations or habits may cause confusion about yourself as well as with your relationships. There is a tendency to feel self-sacrificing, or perhaps have a longing for deeper connections with spiritual concepts. You may sense that in order to be happy, you need to connect with your higher self. You desire to be liked, yet may have issues of acceptance to work through. As a result, you may feel like withdrawing from social endeavors for a time.
Virgo, you may be feeling quite restless for a time as a strong urge for freedom and spontaneity comes into your awareness. You have a real need to express your authentic self as well as your independence now. There is also a renewed focus towards achieving your personal goals. This all has the effect of initiating some powerful insights into your life path. With this, your plans could change quickly or you may decide to do some traveling.
Libra, you are in the process of embracing your own unique creativity aside from your usual social group. You like being liked, and may have the urge to further your involvement in social circles. However, actualizing your own true potential during this time is important. Thus, your focus should be on what you can create, in your own individual way, rather than sit back or rely on others for guidance or purpose.
Scorpio, It is a good time to take an indepth look at what energy you are putting into your relationships. This is important to discover which ones are important to you. Your artistic perceptions are excellent right now and this appreciation may extend to beautifying your surroundings. Just beware of over-doing things as with this urge to fully embrace life and its pleasures, you may need to guard against self-indulgence.
Sagittarius, you may come up against some conflicts and challenges over the next few days as an urge for self-transformation comes into your conscious awareness. As a result you may indulge in some uncharacteristic behaviors right now. Control issues may also come up for you at this time, which could provoke conflicts or difficulties in accomplishing your goals. The purpose of these events is to help move you closer to your true life path.
Capricorn, The next few days or weeks will be a pleasant period of time for you. You are placing more focus on your relationships as well as on your finances and creative pursuits. Your aesthetic appreciation, values and enjoyment of life in general are also affected. As a result, these areas of your life have the potential to be enhanced and energized. Your contacts with others are also likely to reap some positive benefits.
Aquarius, Your enthusiasm is at an alltime high right now, although you may have to balance this out with a light dose of pessimism. There is good potential for optimism and positive energy. Your conversations and writing ability are also energized. Your ability to communicate your ideas are enhanced and you seem to have the gift of gab right now. While you may do more talking than listening, you are able to hold people’s attention.
Pisces, Your ability to express yourself is at its peak and you are facing your problems squarely. With this you have more insight into what direction your life’s path is heading. This is the time to let your light shine. On the other hand, you are also more aware of your responsibilities and limitations as well as how to maneuver them. For example, you may be more organized or take on extra duties for a time, which have the potential to reap benefits.
Well that wraps up another Star report. Check back again to see what the stars have in store for us next time! Until then, Please Remember…“The stars guide, they do not compel and what you do is really up to you.” Namaste.
