BitchScopes May 31-June 7: This is the Way


Set into motion by that Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, there is a focus on the future in this week’s astrology, and the future looks inspired. You may have bursts of clarity or insight about your spiritual/career path. You should write everything down because thoughts will be fast and fleeting, and sometimes foggy. Intuition will be strong, but it may be hard to discern meaning. Also, despite all the creative and intuitive energy, there will be boring, mundane bullshit that we are obligated to do before we can get on with dreaming. Ugh. Rude!

But before you stomp off to your room after doing your chores, realize that your hard work will pay off (probably not this week, because the retrogrades create a bit of a lull in the action). But not in the way your dad or grandpa told you. “Grinding” is the out-moded work ethic of previous generations. “Inspired labor” is the new way. We need to honor and give a certain amount of reverence to the old way, because each generation has its burdens. Each generation has its fatal flaws, and a shadow that only subsequent generations can see. We all must carry our fair share, but for things to evolve and progress, we have to honor our history, with honesty. We need to appreciate the sacrifices that were made for us, and turn that into inspired thought about what we will create for those after us, or for ourselves in our next go-round, even.

This is the way (cue Mandalorian music)



May 31

  • Mars trine Pallas - energy put toward your skill and talents will pay off
  • Mercury Rx sextile Eris - intuition may lead you to pick something back up that you put away some time ago. This could be a disagreement that was had in the past
  • Sun conjunct N. Node - enthusiasm about the future

June 2
  • Venus enters Cancer - we become more nurturing and protective, of both ourselves and those we love
  • Sun sextile Chiron - you can find purpose in healing; you may be motivated or inspired by your own wounds/healing process
  • Mars square Eris - sort of the ultimate clash of the unrestrained male and the wild woman energies; internal struggles between masculine and feminine energy

June 3
  • Sun trine Saturn - hard work pays off
  • Venus trine Jupiter - this is a great energy! Optimism, love, good moods, and money!
  • Saturn quincunx Vesta - responsibilities that don’t light your fire, tasks outside your “job description” and other annoying adjustments at work
  • Mars sextile Lilith - excitement, ambition, and ease in pursuing passions and pleasure
  • Mercury square Pallas - frustrated communications on the path to victory
June 4
  • Sun square Vesta - work frustrations, obstacles to carrying out your “duties”
June 5
  • Mercury Rx square Neptune - confusion much? Distorted thinking and facts, unclear communication. But also Spiritual insights and strong intuition. The spiritual world and the material world are muddled
  • Mars opposite Pluto
June 6
  • Sun opposite Juno - relationships are the focal point



ARIES - Look to your childhood to decide what you want to re-create for yourself, and what you want to lovingly bid farewell to in your family line. Work/Life balance is something for you to examine. If you’ve successfully balanced those scales, or are on track to, you’re in good shape. If you haven’t, whose pattern are you repeating? You’re pretty damn close to achieving some of your big goals, so move forward with full awareness and a sprinkling of water color memories.

TAURUS - Who’s yer daddy? Or who wasn’t he? Can you examine your father figure(s) with honesty? It’s really ok. It will likely be a sensitive spot for you, as it is for most of us. But tapping into that sensitivity is key for you. In fact, the key to finding meaningful opportunities for yourself is to lean into your natural romanticism. Permission to be yourself...who knew?!

GEMINI - Do you remember who you were before you started bending and manipulating yourself to fit into other people’s boxes? Your unbridled optimism and charm are a gift. Someone made you feel like you’re “too much”? Guess what...Fuck them. Spend some time mothering yourself in the way you need(ed) to be mothered. Your ability to do that for other people is what we all need, but not to your own detriment. You first…

CANCER- Significant chapters are closing for you, and this is positive. The energy of new beginnings and cycles is very loud for you. Look back at your hard lessons and offer gratitude for what you learned, and how you grew. The time for you to take action is here. You’ve been working and planning and manifesting and now you get to DO something. A more secure future is coming.

LEO - Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to feel your feelings, and some of them may be difficult. In the past you may have been naive, and not have been as sensitive to the needs of others as you could have been. But you are moreso now, and the Universe recognizes this about you. Forgiveness of self and others is the way forward. “Jaded” is no longer your color. Your new color is “pink innocence”. The way back to your purest self is through compassion.

VIRGO - Your self actualization and sense of self tends to depend on what other people need from you. It is fair and accurate to say you’ve achieved an admirable level of success this way. You will either continue to have, or now experience, a sense of having arrived. Be aware of pathways that tease you towards them. Something new is beckoning you, and it is more of a solo endeavor than a “service”. It will require learning, which you aren’t afraid of, and it will look different than what you’re doing now. Stay open.

LIBRA - Your enthusiasm and charm are gifts. You will attract significant monetary blessings your way just by staying true to yourself. But be aware of too much emphasis on money and not enough emphasis on family. There’s a part of you that is much more traditional that you maybe admit or realize. Keep yourself in check and use your wealth to create a legacy, rather than a means to power.

SCORPIO - You have had to say goodbye to some treasured ideals, ideas, and goals, because they just weren’t working out. This isn’t failure. This is progress. You may feel that you are between a rock and a hard place, but that is a deception. Take time to really, deeply reflect on what is good in your life. Give yourself time alone for meditation and reflection daily. Your intuition and magical side will light the way forward.

SAGITTARIUS - You may feel as though something or someone you loved unconditionally has trampled you, used you, or competed with you in a hurtful way. Can you continue the competition, but without the resentment and the person it is attached to? Push yourself in a direction where you struggle a little and feel challenged. This competition with yourself will spark something for you, and you will create a new plan!

CAPRICORN - You are no stranger to achievement, or the quest for it. You are driven to succeed and to overcome. Don’t give up now (like any Capricorn would?!) You’re farther along than your current perspective can see. Stop, collaborate and listen (haha)...gather your trusted people in and do some brainstorming. There are many more mountains to victoriously ascend, and you will!

AQUARIUS - You’ve experienced frustrating delays in your goals, and you’ve had to let go of things that didn’t work out, no matter how much you wanted them. Well good news...that’s the past! Your world will be expanding in ways you didn’t see coming. When you see the ships approaching the shore, take time to do some planning and preparation so you can allocate your new found blessings in a way that will create a legacy rather than a temporary party.

PISCES - You are the only sign this week where I felt a strong goddess energy. Pallas Athena is your girl! Your inner wisdom is one of your most powerful tools. You will need to use both your intuition and your will on the path forward. Dig in and have courage. Be a badass. When you prove to yourself that you are stronger than you gave yourself credit, you’ll feel almost reborn, and the magic you used to see everywhere will be visible to you again.
