Saturn stations: a pregnant pause
Well, we are in "roller-coaster season," a somewhat uncomfortable time as the Sun remains in Scorpio (a sign uniquely familiar with upheaval and crisis) while Mercury and Venus are in upbeat Sagittarius. Saturn is also gearing up to go direct in Pisces Nov 15, same day as an electric full moon in Taurus.
Everything is...very odd these days, isn't it?
Mercury is also preparing to go retrograde in "Live it up" Sagittarius on November 26-Dec.16, where the planet is in its detriment…

Sun in Scorpio trine Saturn in Pisces: Emotional Truth
mixed-media artwork by sym peters
With Pluto in Capricorn's harmonious connection to Mercury in Scorpio, there's a rich and perhaps more poignant quality to our communications, a theme reinforced as the Sun in Scorpio's moves towards a trine with Saturn retrograde in Pisces.
Seriousness, gravitas, as well as deep feelings arising can have us contemplating our sense of purpose and direction and being more honest with ourselves about what we're experiencing.

With a charged up full moon in Aries, Mercury moving through the sign of Scorpio and Venus moving into the sign of Sagittarius for a three week visit, there's a tremendous amount of energy moving in the cosmos and in the collective.
Pluto remains at 29 degrees of Capricorn, a significant and karmic placement until November 19 when it finally moves full time into the sign of Aquarius, until 2044.
As a conscious leader, where are you at in terms of integrating the shadow aspects of both your masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) sides?

Full Moon in Aries: generous heart, ancient soul
what is your relationship to "The Machine"?
As we watch with helplessness and horror the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Milton/one global climate catastrophes after another, let alone atrocities committed against humans by other humans, it's a question worth contemplating.
After all, a well-oiled machine, “gets things done,” yes?
As we move towards an extremely dynamic Aries Full Moon on October 17, there’s quite a bit of pressure to make significant changes or to take important action. Adding to this electric atmosphere, we have a mutual reception that is also an opposition! Mutual receptions occur when the ruling planets of two different signs each happen to be transiting the other sign)…

Libra Sun, Mercury & the South Node: Towards a holistic vision
What is your relationship to yourself, within your key relationships? to your important work? to your creativity?
Libra and Scorpio seasons are here, meaning we're becoming strongly and possibly uncomfortably aware of any imbalances in our worlds.
On a collective level major shifts are taking place, though it’s unclear how exactly these things will play out.
We have an interesting dynamic occurring as well: Five celestial bodies, The Sun (in Libra), Mars (in Cancer), Jupiter (in Gemini), Uranus (in Taurus) and Venus (in Scorpio) are currently moving through the signs in which the ancients believed they were in "fall" or in "detriment"....ie. they performed most poorly…

Aaaannnd…you may have significant planets/placements in the sign of Libra. The sign of the balance that is strongly associated with peace, harmony and beauty.

Jupiter in Gemini forms a square with the Sun in Virgo, inviting us all to carefully consider how we are joyfully (or not) in service to others (Virgo) and what ideas and lines of inquiry we might want to pursue that can help us express more of our higher vision…

Mid-Summer Flow Intensive: Mercury Retro
August begins with a lovely New Moon in the Sign of Leo on the 4th, forming a sextile to Jupiter in Gemini.
It coincides with the Lion's Gate portal, bringing a potent solar activation that can “sirius-ly” :) uplift and invigorate, even as Mercury turns retrograde for most of August.
The flavor for August features a dynamic sky, with a simultaneously introspective and reflective quality.
Fiery and expressive Leo combines with Mars and Jupiter both transiting intellectual and restless Gemini and Mercury in Virgo, the sign it both rules and in which it's considered exalted.
On top of that August is a 7 Universal month, numerologically, encouraging us to do some deep thinking and careful analysis around any of the issues that surface for us during this retrograde cycle (if you know your personal number for the year 2024, add 8 for August to know your number for this month.)
With the challenging influence of Saturn square to Jupiter we can ask ourselves if our dreams and optimism, as wonderful as they are, require a more solid foundation...?
This foundation could relate to practical elements of our plans but also to our inner and spiritual structures (Saturn's retro in Pisces, after all and a huge theme of this 3 year transit is on the need to base more of our decisions and build practices that support a spiritual view of things...you can read more about this transit in my Saturn in Pisces overview, available on Kindle.)
As mentioned in last week's post, this aspect between Jupiter and Saturn (Pam Gregory gave a fantastic breakdown on yt of this conversation which will repeat a couple more times over the next 10 months, inviting more integrity and alignment between our important goals and intentions and the concrete plan (including surrender to the greater plan) to help us stay the course.
from Colette Baron Reid’s Spirit Animal Oracle https://www.colettebaronreid.com/
What a perfect card to pull for this time: Elephant Spirit reminds us the importance of learning from the past, tradition and our ancestors.
It also speaks to our responsibility as storytellers.
When we are able to draw on and integrate the lessons of the past in a healthy way, we are able to grow and learn new ways of being while honouring where we come from and indeed how far we’ve come.
Questions: As we face obstacles, delays and difficulties (Saturn activation plus the Mercury retro) we get a chance to perceive with greater clarity the themes that repeat for us. What old storylines are coming up for you now that perhaps you were unconscious of before? And if you have been aware of some of these and are working through them, can you regard it as an opportunity for learning, self-forgiveness and surrender, even as you recommit to your heart & soul-aligned path?
Finally, an exciting announcement!! In order to be more fully in integrity and responsive and accountable to you, my community of entrepreneurial women and heart-centred leaders and those who support them, beginning next week the blog will be available exclusively via my newsletter! Please do sign up to keep reading.
This way I can know that you are receiving value from what I share and your feedback will help with crafting content and offers that serve you at the highest level!
I’m also creating a Podcast, exclusively available to subscribers to the Newsletter.

I look forward to connecting with you!
Peace & Blessings,

Mercury Retrograde - detox to streamline
image : https://unsplash.com/@fionawang
In my last post, I briefly mentioned the upcoming Mercury Retrograde from August 4-28, which will be taking place in the signs of Virgo and Leo.
Mercury Retrogrades have a higher spiritual purpose. Though they can feel frustrating, emotional or downright exhausting, this cycle can help us streamline our processes (Virgo) and how we express our authenticity & style (Leo.)
Colette Baron-Reid has referred to getting "right-sized." Are there are things that have gotten a bit out of hand or that just need to be reviewed, re-considered and re-evaluated?
On a collective level, this retrograde period, featuring a Jupiter-Saturn square (a "right-sizing" energy if there ever was one) and that extends into September when the Sun and Mercury oppose Saturn will highlight this theme as we move toward November and the US election.
What does integrity mean to you and look like for you, personally?
When you perceive a lack of integrity in yourself or others, what makes you believe that? Are you evaluating yourself on your own terms or on others'?
Delving into these questions at this time can help you "right-size" your decisions going forward. There are broader questions of moral integrity: we acknowledge that serious crimes for example show a lack of fundamental moral integrity.
Beyond these basic principles, our individual beliefs and values can vary person to person or group to group.
Increasingly, the universe is inviting us to see what's in integrity for us individually and for the people we are here to serve, while being conscious of the bigger picture.
One of the gifts and challenges of being a conscious entrepreneur is embracing more of your authenticity as you evolve in a way that is mature enough to handle challenging criticism and disagreement yet is willing to uphold our boundaries, too, even if it means losing clients or customers.
I've been observing the entrepreneurs and mentors I look up to and how they've navigated this and been moved by their courage and integrity. It's not easy.
What if we change our minds, our values and point of view shifts or we simply want to try something new and creative....?
as someone who in the past has been perhaps too eager to "throw the baby out with the bathwater" I'm aware of how a seeming about-face can look flakey or weird at best and cynical at worst.
And, I do feel a little embarrassed for example that some of my earlier branding and business efforts involved being extremely vocal and passionate about my politics, even to the point of self-righteousness and now...i barely mention it.
To me, it was a long time coming, I had said what I needed to say (perhaps too authentically lol) and was done.
Even though I tried to be honest about how that inner process was unfolding, I now see that from a different, more traditional perspective, my re-brand might evoke suspicion, fear or anger.
(Talking politics never helps with that, welp. If and when I decide to do so again, it will be done in a completely different way.)
And I could have done a much better job of communicating the shift so it wasn't so abrupt.
And here is where we need both courage and backbone and also compassion for ourselves because often, we'll miss the mark.
The other definition of integrity (according to Collins English) relates to "unity" and "wholeness."
And darn it if that ain't the whole point of shadow work, alchemy (and thus healing)
Showing compassion for those parts of us we feel fall short or are somehow flawed and integrating them through love and compassion and forgiveness.
If there's an action or actions we need to take to "right-size" ourselves, we can take them FROM that place of greater self-love and awareness, rather than from nervous-system red-alert needing damage-control.
It's an on-going process and those of us who are perfectionists or fearful of perfectionists, it's going to take courage and vulnerability.
There's always going to be a chance of being misunderstood (whether willful or not.) That's the nature of language for you.
We can try at least can go the extra mile to make sure we’re not contributing to that as much as possible. (To this end, stay tuned for an exciting announcement about the future of the blog next week.)
Over to you: Where have your values and beliefs shifted? Where is your brand or aspects of your business (could be small or significant) needing to be upgraded to be in greater integrity? Where might you want to start?

Mars moves into Gemini: suprising grace

Last week, I discussed the power of making a Decision, No Matter What.
This could be around a specific result you want in your business, or it could be a feeling you want as you create through your marketing, offers and even implementing systems.
This week, with the Sun moving into Leo, the sign it rules (and with Mercury and Venus in Leo), we have the potential to connect in a stronger way with our own Sun energy: that's to say, the creative and self-expressive side that every leader embodies in their own way but that has in common the Source-Given sense of worthiness that often gets squashed in the day to day pressures of living on planet earth.
As entrepreneurial leaders seeking to elevate consciousness, it's our own desire to be/model this worthiness (while remaining grounded and present with our more vulnerable sides and being willing to see our shadows) that inspires our clients and those we are committed to serving through our businesses to shine their own unique creativity forth, however they are divinely guided to do so.
The fears around this and what we might attract are very real and as I forget myself from time to time, they are not personal but archetypal for us women.
In Denise Duffield Thomas' Chill and Prosper, she goes into the Witch Wound for women. Margaret Lynch has also spoken powerfully how scary it is for women to show up more fully and to be seen.
If you have your Human Design in a projection field (or even key planets, to a lesser extent), this can be especially intense as you are dealing with some significant karmic factors surrounding the collective as part of your service. This is something we'll address, if we decide to work together.)
So, number one is to exercise compassion for yourself. It can feel very hard.
But while you definitely need to be consistent with your efforts in order to develop your skill level, overall confidence and desired results, creativity is different.
Slogging it out for hours at a time or remaining overly disciplined can be counter-productive....
We sense this. And it's why those "who do I think i am?" etc questions really come up when we embrace more of this side.
As Mars leaves prepares to leave Taurus and move into the sign of Gemini on June 20, consider playing a fun Gemini pastime with your brain: Devil's Advocate and arguing both sides...For real. (We can also consider applying this in all kinds of ways in our business...you could even think about crafting your offers with this in mind for example.)
Treat the fears and doubts, no matter how painful or dumb as though they're real. They are real to you. Answer them "logically" to see what specific answers you get when you ask those questions or your own.
It may lead to some real insight that can actually help you clean something up. Or you may decide when you see it all written down that they're ridiculous. Or both.
Ask those same questions but from the other angle "why shouldn't I get to do this, be this, have this?" Really. "Who don't I think I am?" "If I acted in this supposedly selfish/greedy/lazy/self-centred/arrogant/entitled way, who would it serve?" How would your family, community, country, the world benefit?" Write it down.
If there's anything you think you can actually improve in a constructive way, great.
But what's the Truth? Where can you make space in your week to commit to the Truth by taking a small step, whatever that looks like for you.
At this point in your business and your life, you KNOW you're a leader or businesswoman of integrity who truly wants to help others, not rip them off (an interesting August Mercury retrograde theme as well I’ll be addressing.)
It's a non-question, really. (and if you aren't that, well you need to leave, so bye.)
Yes, you have plenty of imperfections and complex shadows, because you're human but mostly, you have an overactive critical inner voice combined with thousands of years of punitive conditioning especially for women that wants to keep you safe.

Uranus trine Full Moon in Capricorn: Decision time

Full Moon in Capricorn trine Uranus in Taurus
What a full moon this rare SECOND full moon in Capricorn on July 21 this is shaping to be.
This lunation will trine Uranus in the sign of Taurus, where it's been since 2019. Some leap of consciousness is now possible. Taurus and Capricorn are both earth signs, not much given to flights of fancy and no fans of novelty. With the effortlessly harmonious aspect to Uranus though, we are called to a higher vision.
With this happening in earth signs as we can get an obvious insight with significant developments in our outer world signalling that we are making important progress. Sometimes, after we've been chipping away at things, whether that's working through mental and emotional blocks or chopping wood carrying water in our businesses and lives, things can feel plodding. This full moon forming an exact sextile with Neptune and an out of sign trine to both Pluto and Mars can inject a sense of “magical movement” forward. And we also receive a clear sense of what work remains to be done, which is reassuring in its own way.
This allows us to make clearer DECISIONS. Now, i've followed teachers and coaches over the years who have talked about this as a superpower. I recall Derek Rydall speaking of making a decision and backing it up, "come hell or highwater." I remember thinking "damn, that's good! I need to write this down!" Another emphasized the importance of deciding something "no matter what. " Again, yes! It's in the last couple years where I've heard it again, from awesome coaches and mentors like Jeanna Gabellini, Sage Lavine and Elizabeth Purvis that it's finally sinking in that one has to keep making the decision, that is re-committing over and over again. This week, as I was contemplating the power of making an "all in, no matter what" decision, I saw an email from the amazing Kendall SummerHawk about this very thing.
So much comes down to this: Are we all in or not? It's ok if we DECIDE we’re not all in but making a clear decision one way or another is liberating. Lately, I've been doing a practice where whenever i get into wobbly bs (hedging, Kendall calls it) I speak a bit "crisply" to myself (this is different from being very critical towards myself which i've years of experience with.)
Instead, I'm asking myself the following: "What's your DECISION on this, Love?" When i'm worried because i don't yet have a clear picture of how to proceed on something in my business, i can still make the decision that i'm HAVING the result, period. I don't have to know the specifics yet and I also don't have to worry about not knowing.
My DECISION is I'm having this result, period. I can feel the fear and experience the gamut of emotions and STILL decide to have it. I can ask the question of "but, how?" as many times as i choose to drive myself mad when the next step isn’t clear yet AND still DECIDE to have it. I can let weird or doubtful comments from others throw me. To some degree it’s part and parcel. AND I can still decide to re-commit.
Denying our feelings doesn't work for most of us, at least those of us who want to take a role in elevating consciousness. We need to tune into and allow ourselves to feel our emotional currents and undercurrents. We want to be realistic about the resources and efforts required and the limitations we may face so we can plan more effectively. But letting them make the decisions leads to frustration and heart-ache, not to mention greater confusion as we keep spinning.
Emotions and logic are important but they aren't arbiters of what is and isn't possible. They aren't Truth with a capital T. And as Elizabeth Purvis notes: as leaders we need to align more with Truth (not beliefs about what's true.)
So in that spirit: What DECISIONS are you making at this time? (Could be anything…how you want to feel or a measurable result.) Consider this a way to re-approach any fence-sitting you may be experiencing.
And if you DECIDE you are done fence-sitting and know you're ready to let your soul lead the way in your marketing, so you can BE the leader you know you are, check out the 6 week Marketing Accelerator to see if it's right for you.

New Moon in Cancer - July 5: Tending the Garden
The New Moon in Cancer takes place July 5/6, depending on your location. Cancerian energy connects us with the principle of caring for and nurturing what and who we love.
On the shadow side, it can be clingy, experiencing intense waves of emotion that can lead to challenges with self-regulation.
(Having tools and techniques like EFT and emdr can help us through these waves, as can yoga and exercise. Music and dancing can be especially supportive at this time.)
Cancer is a tenacious, ambitious, cardinal sign, so taking the initiative on important matters is highlighted now.
Venus, also in Cancer, is lending sweet vibes to this New Moon, and Mars in sympatico Taurus strengthens and invigorates this gateway period in a solid, grounded way. Saturn now retrograde in Pisces is speaking in perfect harmony with the New Moon and Venus. We could not ask for a lovelier time to receive the blessings that are on offer. And as Elizabeth Purvis has noted, receiving involves some sort of action step.
I pulled a card for this time, asking what conscious AND ambitious women entrepreneurs and leaders can gather from the energy of this time (Turtle Spirit from CBR’s Animal Spirit Oracle in the reverse position. Divine! ) I am interpreting this as a need to be extra intentional about where we’re directing our energy. We may feel impatient or else fritter our time on things that either don’t matter or bring us joy. As long as we’re moving in a grounded and thoughtful manner, we can know we’re making the best use of our energy in the moment, whatever that is. Slow n steady is great.
Things will get choppy soon enough. Mid-month mars and Uranus will form a conjunction in Taurus so if you have some anger you think you may have suppressed (and who doesn’t?) make sure you have a way to express and channel it in a healthy direction. With Uranus involved it’s impossible to predict exactly what we might face; it tends to be what you'd never expect.
This is not necessarily negative. (Astrolada had a very interesting breakdown on her yt of the ancient astrology behind the degree and constellation of this conjunction.)
Both Mars and Uranus are decidedly fierce in their own ways so if people-pleasing has kept you from acting in alignment with your truth (i still find myself doing this at times) this conjunction can have a way of forcing a decision to liberate you from stagnant or stale situations. Best to do this with a very cool head though so allow the feelings to be felt before you take action or say things you might regret.
On the very positive end, as women entrepreneurs and leaders, we can expect to feel invigorated by creative downloads and epiphanies and take action on them. Neptune (which retrograded July 2) and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius will also be involved at this time lending an element of spiritual and creative renewal at this time.
Because Taurus rules money and Pluto (ruler of Scorpio, also associated with money) this whole conversation could have us tuning into both the spiritual and practical purposes of wealth and wealth creation. I love that. Money is an important tool available to help us contribute to reducing suffering and increasing satisfaction and fulfillment (personally, inter-personally and collectively.) At a pragmatic level, expanding our sense of what's possible means allowing more financial flow to support us and others.
This is a time to be bold in claiming that and modelling it for our communities.
Collectively, it will be a fascinating time as we move towards the second full moon in Capricorn July 21 and enter the Mercury Retro shadow phase (Mercury will go retrograde August 5 in Virgo and Leo.)
