Weekly astrological forecasts using the lens of traditional astrology translated for those living in modern times.
September marks the earth moving through the threshold to the dark half of the year. Where the light begins to diminish and the darkness slowly takes over. This statement isn't meant to instill fears or anxieties of dark or what we would consider negative events, but rather a time where we are called to judge and weight our own experience of the year thus far.
A time when we are called inward, to slow down, reflect and initiate the soul into a new chapter of life. One that offers us gifts of blurring the lines between what is an illusion and reality, to embrace the fact that everything is in constant motion and nothing stays the same. This month especially is one filled with questions as to what do we consider reality and play into the magic of imagination. That we can create our own magical life, if we are willing to except that change is part of it. To quiet the "white noise" of the mind and step away from the reflections being projected in front of us. And most importantly continue to nurture meaningful connections with others.

Join Andre Weibel and myself, Raya Marshall, as we discuss the major astrological energy for the month of March 2024 through the lens of traditional astrology.Here comes March, and thankfully it seems "lighter" or more fluid than February. March is a Pisces party, with a large group of planets traversing through Jupiter's temple. All the squares to Jupiter and Uranus that where occurring in February suddenly become sextile, which are of the nature of Venus, signifying harmony, support and enjoyment.
in this months outlook, Andre and myself go over the major transits and ingresses for the month of February 2024. The month itself is astrologically busy, with each planet that will ingress into Aquarius being met at the temple gates of Saturn immediately by Pluto in Aquarius. Mercury moves into Pisces, a place it is not familiar with and conjoins the sun, ushering in a new cycle, Venus and Mars join together in Aquarius, and if the journey through Aquarius isn't hard enough, any planet traveling through Aquarius will square both Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus
Happy new Year everyone!

This was a delightful conversation that was just the sort of stimulation I needed at the time. We go into the cycles and phases of the planets, of course Pluto in Aquarius and then back into Capricorn and the fact we have a lighter month after having intense eclipse lunation's. I really enjoyed connecting with KristaLyn, who shares just as much passion for Hellenistic astrology as myself.

The week of December 5-December 11 2022 is the moment in Sagittarius season when it feels like the speed is finally picking up. You might even notice what was a tiny spark in the beginning of the month is now a steady fire. That flame might even feel overwhelming at times, with the realization it is now your responsibility to tend to it. If you are feeling the pressure of overcommitment, be realistic with what you can and can’t do at this time. There is a noticeable shift with those grand, optimistic, expansive thoughts and desires, moving to more of to a deeper level of concentration on being practical with life right now. Be honest with yourself and others this week, joy is not meant to feel like a burden.
The major themes for November 28- December 4 2022 is the tension between wanting to act now, rather than taking your time and really thinking things through. The cosmos are saying to take things slow, but there is a voice in the back of our heads nagging us to just charge forward. The most important thing to remember this week is to focus and not scatter ones energy. If we keep in our lane and not veer off too much, the constructive action we need will come through. Don’t get caught up in seeing the results right away, they will come in time.

The overall theme for Nov 21- Nov 27 2022 is a change of direction. The odds may have seems to be stacked against you the past weeks and this week there is a glimmer of hope coming through. There are gifts to be seen in your own darkness, offering insight into what it is that makes you feel good and what doesn’t. Once again the new situations coming in this week are slow to ignite, like trying to start a fire with wet wood. You will need to nurture and look after this fire, making sure it doesn’t put itself out by trying to combust too fast. But once the spark is there and steady, it will take off on its own. Don’t rush the process, things need to come to a stand still before before it can move in that new direction.
The overall feeling for November 14- November 20 2022 is this softening after the harsh and intense energy of the past weeks. Social engagements are granted some ease and we seem to have a better understanding of what it means to have compassion towards others no matter how different they may seem from us. It’s almost as if the conflicts that have been present are suddenly granted a new perspective of “we are all in this together”. This week is also about stepping into your own personal power but not for selfish gains. It is about inspiring others through your own courage and strength. To demonstrate how breaking away from the cave of illusions doesn’t just create a better life for you but for others as well. No matter the outcome, at the end of the day we are all humans with our own struggles to over come. So lets help each other out.
You will find all of my links including scheduling a consultation with me and my Patreon here
The overall feeling of the week of November 7- November 13 2022 is moments of releasing, purging and letting go of what you have been holding onto for too long.
The mind goes through a cleansing, getting rid of anything no longer serving it and is able to have a new outlook on the story.
The boundaries in love, connection and desires dissolve through the fantasy of “what if” and connecting to the ugly side intimacy.
This week is about reimagine life, love and what it is you desire. To let go of the high expectations you may have and to just find peace in not knowing the outcome. To stop looking for that crystal ball with all the answers, because that journey is often a one filled with false prophets only ending with let down.

The overall feeling for October 31-November 6 2022 is an increase in pressure. It’s almost as if we are accelerating upwards and we can feel our ears about to pop.
There is a moment of growth and we are able to see our destination ahead, but before we get there the fear of the unknown sets in. The future feels threatening, mostly through the lens of our sensitive constitution.
You can’t carry this heavy load forever or stress fractures are going to appear. And when stress comes up, we often take it out on the ones we love the most, pushing them away in fear of rejection or disappointment.
If you are able to see these moments as a test to your own strength to push through the hard times, you already received the greatest gift you can get.
The week of October 24- October 30 2022 brings on a drastic dynamic change. We are officially in eclipse season, which just turns the volume up to 11. The seeds being planted this week will need to be planted deep in order to protect and preserve this sensitive situation. Don’t be afraid of what is going to come up when you dig deep into the depths of the body, mind and soul. There is feelings of dark and primitive magic in the air, almost like the veil is thinning between what can be seen and what can’t. Remember the power of thoughts this week. Your mind has just as much effect in the physical realm as the feet planting you to the ground.

The overall themes for the week of October 17-October 23 2022 are surrendering the fact that we cant always have control, but we can control how we react in times like this. There is a lesson to be learned about the self, on how our ideal imagine of who we are is just that, an ideal. Power struggles within love come up, but we are determined to transform how we express our desires to others. Show the people you love the most how deep your feelings are for them, not just with words but with your actions.

The week of October 10- October 16 2022 starts off with a heavy influence from the Full Moons energy
Mars squares Neptune retrograde, causing little to no motivation or drive.
The Sun trines Saturn retrograde letting us know the aging process can be graceful.
Mercury moves back into Libra and opposes Jupiter retrograde for the third time.
The Moon moves through Taurus and conjoins Uranus retrograde, so be on the look out for outbursts or even this feeling of sudden luck.
Venus trines Saturn Retrograde where beauty takes on a more austere look.
And finally Mercury leaves it’s retrograde shadow, making it full steam ahead for the messenger planet.
The overall theme for this week is a continuation of the Full Moon in Aries, where we are able to see the beauty in committing to things long term. You may feel more tired the day following the Full Moon. Take some time to indulge the senses to process all that’s been happening. It could be if you don’t give yourself space in the beginning of the week, upsets and outbursts from mental overwhelm come through. Old conversations from last month come back, but this time we have fresh perspective on the situation and the ability to move past them. Use the wisdom of age to help you come at difficult situations with grace and diplomacy.

Oct 3- Oct 9 2022 starts with the lingering first quarter moon energy while Mercury is barely moving, creating a feeling of being at a complete stand still.
The Moon moves through Aquarius while the Saturn Uranus square is still peaking, bringing a harsh slap of reality to the face.
Mercury gets support from Pluto for a third time, connecting the conscious mind with the primal mind.
Pluto then stations direct, but will stay at the same degree of Capricorn until the beginning of December.
And the grand finally of the week is a Full Moon in Aries, giving long term commitments a chance to be worked out.
The overall energy of the week is heavily influenced by the fact the Moon is the main character. There has been a change of mind or events, and now we have to come to terms with it. This week may feel like a roller coaster, going from lows to highs daily. Follow the moon this week, take time out of your day to pay attention to the lunar messages. Instead of resisting and being head strong, get in touch with your primal mind to help guide you to new opportunities.
The astrology of Sept 26- Oct 2 2022 begins with mercury moving back to conjoin Venus. Pluto feels the need to add some influence, opening the gates to rediscover hidden desires.
Mars and Saturn link up, making for some constructive energy but the moon adds a level of difficult situations to tackle.
Venus comes back home and joins the Sun in the sign of Libra.
Venus opposes Jupiter retrograde, opening the gates for some unwanted advice.
Saturn and Uranus come close to squaring each other, giving some oppressive and restless feelings.
And finally the first quarter Moon in Capricorn comes around while Mercury is stationing direct and opposing Neptune retrograde. This will most likely feel like the day that even ends.
The overall feel for this week is like there are 10 people talking to you at once. Its overwhelming and hard to wrap your head around anything anyone is saying. Things seem to slip out of the woodwork and others want to chime in with their opinions. Rushing to get your point across will only make people feel more cornered. Take the time to use diplomacy when you feel passionate for something and don’t feel like you have to make your mind up right away.

_______________________________
Sept 19 through Sept 25 opens with Venus and Uranus helping each other, making for some unconventional connections.
The Moon moves into Leo, bringing that fire.
The Sun ingresses into Libra, a place where the light has to come to terms with darkness taking over.
Mercury is cazimi the Sun, cleansing the messenger planet and signifying that Mercury retrograde is half way over.
Mercury then moves back into Virgo, getting even more protection from the chaos it’s creating.
Venus opposes Neptune while the Moon is in Virgo, bringing up memories from what seems like a lifetime ago.
And finally the week ends with a New Moon in Libra, where the decisions coming up now are going to cause a butterfly effect of events in the coming months.
The major themes of this week are embracing our eventual decent and making some hard decisions. It may even feel like your world is spinning out of control, with you just trying to grasp onto anything that makes sense. This week is not the time to try and understand it all. This is a time to look at life through a symbolic lens and focus your analyzation on the messages the universe is sending you. Put your problem solving skills to use for those tough decisions, don’t feel rushed to make up your mind just yet.
The week of Sept 12-Sept 18 2022 begins with the Moon moving through Aries and then moves into Taurus, making for a wonderful and inspiring time.
The 3rd quarter Moon in Gemini occurs while the Sun exactly opposes Neptune, making this day one of the most challenging for Virgo season.
Venus and Mars have a lovers quarrel, making some struggles in relationships and communicating your needs.
The Moon finishes the week out in it’s home sign of Cancer.
Mercury retrograde opposes Jupiter retrograde again, bringing back up the need for a fair exchange.
The Sun joins Pluto in a pleasant way, giving us space for healing and transformation.
The major themes for this week are overcoming struggles and excepting the space for healing. Sometimes we feel lost, only making our grasp on reality even tighter. At some point we need to release, to empty out and descend back down. The catalyst for the most healing and transformative moments are through very mundane situations this week. Be mindful with taking everything literally. Loosen that grasp to make space for metamorphosis of the storyline.
The week of Sept 6- Sept 11 2022 opens with the Moon moving through the two Saturn ruled signs of Capricorn and Aquarius.
Mercury stations retrograde, so get ready for delays, miscommunication, technology issues and just general annoyances.
The Full Moon in Pisces occurs and connects with Uranus retrograde in Taurus. This is a moment of fantasy and the unexpected. Where we seem to be lost in wonderland after being too logical and literal with everything.
The Moon then moves into Aries and almost immediately joins Jupiter, then moves to oppose Mercury retrograde. We want to have fun, but something is delaying that from happening.
The themes for this week are responsibility, delays and teleporting into Wonderland. Responsibility knocks and if we answer in a timely manner, we have an opportunity to have fun at the end of the week. Delays and general annoyances ARE going to happen, stay patient and calm. At the end of the week the Full Moon celebration continues with big and grand events. Try and not get too caught up in the festivities of life and remember when the party is over.
We start off the week of August 30- September 5 2022 with the Moon in Libra, letting us see the beauty in the unpleasant.
Mars and Jupiter connect, stimulating the need to explore and learn.
The Moon moves into Scorpio and opposes Uranus and the North Node, increasing a feeling of your security being threatened.
Mercury and Jupiter oppose each other, having the social media town square be filled with soap boxes and mega phones.
The 1st quarter Moon in Sagittarius occurs, only adding to that feeling of needing to prove a point.
Venus moves into Virgo, where logic and beauty try their best to blend together.
Mercury and Mars connect, causing more stimulation and quick exchanges.
And finally the Moon moves into Capricorn, adding to the tense or uncomfortable feelings.
The overall themes for this week is equanimity, stimulation and working through discomfort.
Finding a sense of peace in the chaos and incorporating everything that needs to be done all while not feeling completely overwhelmed. Others may seem like they have all the solutions, making for some overwhelm with all the “snake oils” out there. And some weeks are just like that. All parties cant be happy all the time, there is always someone feeling discomfort. Life starts to pick up some speed and it seems like there is just a lot on our plate after putting it on the back burner. Time to roll up your sleeves and get to work in order to prepare for the coming months.
The week of August 23-August 29 2022 begins with the Moon in it’s home sign of Cancer making family, devotion and our private life feel like it’s more important than other things for the time being.
Uranus officially turns retrograde after slowing creeping through the middle degrees of Taurus.
Mercury moves into the sign of Libra where it begins to go retrograde. This is officially the unofficial first week of Mercury retrograde season.
Venus and Uranus have an argument, making for the perfect circumstances for drastic or rash changes.
The New Moon in Virgo perfects in the early morning hours while squaring Mars, giving us the determination to get our life back on track.
And finally Venus opposes Saturn as she finishes up her journey through Leo.
This week brings up feelings of preparing for the end of something. There is a feeling of change in the air and we are in between the final stages of the old and moving into new circumstances. The challenge arises with social obligations to belong to a group mindset. Keep the mind sharp this week and find the courage to speak up when something doesn’t follow common logic. Criticism doesn’t always have to be a negative thing, use it constructively.

The week of August 16- August 22 2022 starts with Uranus and Saturn beginning to move close to squaring each other AGAIN. This is going to bring up urges to rebel, be defiant and break down oppressive structures.
Jupiter stations retrograde in Aries, making us have a more internal look at our morals and values.
Mercury meets up with Uranus giving the mind some new and exciting ideas.
Venus connects with Jupiter while the last quarter Moon is in Taurus making for a very pleasant day that lets us have fun and explore romance a little deeper.
Mars moves into the masculine, mutable, air sign of Gemini where it will stay until March 2023.
Mercury is at odds with Neptune causing the lines between fiction and non fiction to blur.
And finally the sun moves into Virgo letting us know it’s time to prepare for the change of seasons.
The overall feel of this week is like a pile up energy right before a transition. The mind seems to race or be lost in the what ifs. We begin to prepare for the future in order to prevent getting turned around by the unexpected. We are given a opportunity in the middle of the week to have some fun before it’s time to start preparing for the change of seasons. Pay attention to any break throughs or ideas that come through this week, it will most likely benefit you sometime soon.
The week of August 9-August 15 2022 starts off with the moon in Capricorn, making it a more uncomfortable or rough start to the week.
The Sun moves to square the Uranus North Node cluster in Taurus creating disturbances in something that has felt unchangeable.
Mars and Neptune have a nice conversation that lets our imaginations run wild.
The Moon moves into Aquarius which leads to our annual Full Moon in the sign of the water bearer. This is our time to embrace the tension or need to isolate in order to discover our true selves and this inherent feeling of wanting to belong.
Venus then moves into Leo, bringing fun and play back into our partnerships.
Mars moves through Taurus and trines Pluto in Capricorn giving us the courage to conquer our fears.
Then the Sun opposes Saturn, where the oppressed meets the oppressor.
The overall feeling of this week is somewhat whimsical with this sense of we are not in Kansas anymore. Where things feel strange and we must embark on the Hero’s Journey alone to understand how we experience reality. Let your imagination take the wheel and explore the confines of your psyche. The wild and weird come out to make themselves seen this week, don’t be afraid to embrace that side of you.
The week of August 2-August 8 2022 starts off with Mars moving away from the exact conjunction with Uranus and the North Node in Taurus, which means we will still be feeling this transit this week.
Mercury returns to its home and exaltation sign of Virgo making it easier to be practical and rational, giving us the ability to look at the micro in the macro.
The moon moves to oppose the Taurus cluster making perfect conditions for some more upsets.
Then the raging bull comes up against a brick wall when Mars and Saturn square off.
Venus and Neptune connect in a supportive way letting us know its time to open up our sixth sense and having deep faith that love will prevail no matter what.
Venus moves away from Neptune and opposes Pluto, causing a stress point in love.
The overall energy for the week feels somewhat manic but with this ability to not get caught up with it and the mind is able to detach from the madness of it all. Just remember to not be too analytical with everything and still remain open to the the gifts of love and compassion the universe has to offer us. Sometimes there are great treasures in what seems to be a very impulsive or rash decision.
The week of July 26-August 1 2022 starts off with a New Moon in Leo connecting to Jupiter in Aries, giving space for big, dramatic intentions.
On the same day of the New Moon, we have Mercury and Mars causing some tension. This could create impulsive reactions, heated words or even over stimulation.
Jupiter stations retrograde, telling us it might be time to review your personal philosophies or spiritual practices.
Mercury then moves onto having a fight with Uranus, causing a mental overload.
Mercury keeps moving and creates a tension point with Saturn leading some blocks, delays or difficult conversations.
We close the week with Mars conjoining with Uranus and the North Node in Taurus, creating some chaos and instability with our sense of security.
The energy of this week is one of the heaviest for 2022, with one of the most note worthy transits peaking on August 1. It feels like we are at a busting point, where something is going to have to explode or implode. Remembering to stay grounded within your body and remain grateful for the life you have created will help bring some ease to the chaos.

The overall arching theme for this week is living with intention and integrity. To act and speak with a sense of moral and virtual purpose. You may find that some people in your life right now just aren’t aligning with your morals, since everyone seems to be divided on at least one subject. But this doesn’t mean to cut them out and censor their opinions. This is just an opportunity to show compassion and understanding for a different perspective on life.

Today I go over Mercury stationing direct with Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in the mix. This marks the starting point that all planets are in direct motion for the next few months.
For more info about my practice, visit my website www.rayasunastrology.com
Today I go over my thoughts on the new moon in Aquarius ( I was inspired to record this while in the truck, so pardon the background noise)
Venus finally starts to make her transitioning into direct motion and at the same time Mercury and Pluto meet up.
Today I go over some general significations of Mars's ingress into Capricorn along with how this transit will most likely play out through the whole sign houses.
The sun is making its yearly ingress into the sign of Aquarius. In this episode, I outline the important transits the sun will be making while it moves through Aquarius and how to work with some of the more challenging aspects of it.
This week alone feels like a major shift in energy. The nodes will be moving from the Gemini/Sagittarius axis into the Taurus/Scorpio axis. This will set the intones for the coming 18 months. I also briefly discuss Uranus stationing direct, because we can't disregard the fact Uranus has been drastically changing our world on a personal and collective level.
Once again, Pluto is having a heavy influence on the astrology of Capricorn season. I go over how this lunation speaks to me as claiming your power over how you let the outer world effect your inner world, knowing you have the tools to heal your emotional body and how there can be a sense of grounding when it comes to things that have felt as if they constantly change.
Today I go over the yearly conjunction of the Sun and Pluto and the fact it has been happening since 2008 in the sign of Capricorn. I also explore the larger cycle of how this transit has been playing out for each rising sign using whole sign housing.
Mercury will be stationing Jan 13 and moving retrograde Jan 14. Here's a taste of what the next few weeks of Mercury retrograde will have in store.
On January 10th, the Sun will be aligning with Neptune in a supportive way. This is an opportunity to find our faith in how much we can really accomplish and how much power our time here on earth really holds.
Jan. 8, the Sun and Venus will meet up together forming a cazimi. This is your time to define your own self worth, take control of your time here on earth and know that how you spend your time is valuable. My puppy makes a guest appearance at the end.
Today I go into Venus sextile Neptune and the venerable state you may be feeling and how to except support in these times of venerability.
In this episode, I explore Mercury moving into the Saturn ruled sign of Aquarius along with a little preview of its retrograde phase.
In this episode, I take a look at the new Moon in Capricorn along with the trine it is forming to Uranus retrograde in Taurus through the whole sign houses
Jupiter moves into it's traditional rulership sign of Pisces on Dec 29 12am EST and will stay there until May 10 2022. I decided to switch things up a little bit with this one, recording my thoughts instead of writing them down. My brain has been in a fog, so speaking about this was SLIGHTLY easier than collecting my thoughts into writing. ENJOY!
