A spoonful of sugar - BitchScopes for July 18-25

Image
I think this will be an interesting week on a personal level. That Capricorn Full Moon last Wednesday was a bit harsh. Capricorn is no nonsense and no bullshit, and it didn’t pull any punches showing us where we need to improve in order to move ahead. This week, there’s a good amount of internal conflict, and bumping into values that we hold which are at odds with the goals we are trying to achieve. Some of us are going to feel a little “put upon” or burdened by our soul work or our life’s calling. The Sun and Mercury move into Leo, which stimulates our pride and playfulness, for better or worse. This week in the battle between work and play, work is likely to lose. There’s a lot of nurturing and compassion and even activism that wants to happen, but those things are bumping up against a sort of crisis of self esteem. Chariklo, the wife of Chiron, is about self sovereignty and compassion, but she is in difficult aspects this week. We have a couple of tough Pluto aspects, and t...

Full Moon in Capricorn - BitchScopes for the week of July 11-18

Wow, the sky is busy this week. The goddess asteroids, which have been a bit quiet for the last few weeks, are back in action. I said a few weeks ago that when they re-emerged they would have a strategy, and…late last week Biden signed an executive order in an effort to protect abortion rights. Its scope is limited and temporary, and is not enough by some standards, but it is a step in the right direction. You can read a well summarized article about it here: https://www.vox.com/23200938/joe-biden-executive-order-abortion The highlight of the week is the full moon in Capricorn, which brings our compassionate, nurturing side in opposition with our steely determination. The influence of Pluto suggests our shadow will be illuminated, which means you’ll be triggered. Listen to your intuition and think outside the box to solve problems. Have you become overly hardened about some aspect of your life to preserve peace at work or at home? Release people who bring negativity to your life, a...

Why so Sirius - BitchScopes for July 4-11

Okay so here we are in July, a little more than halfway through 2022.  This month is supposed to be gentler than the last couple.  I feel a little jaded by the political events of the past few weeks/months (years?). But as usual, I’m trying to find the glittery silver lining in this dumpster fire. There is some juicy stuff happening this month in the stars. This week we have Mars entering Taurus, Mercury entering Cancer, and Pallas entering Gemini. So that looks something like, digging our heels in, talking about our feelings, and having genius insights.  Right off the bat this week we have a conjunction of the Sun and the star Sirius. Sirius is sometimes called our “spiritual sun”. So this conjunction can be a time of spiritual renewal and recharge, and goddess knows we need it! We can gain a sense of clarity about our purpose and path. There’s quite a bit of raw potential in the stars right now in the form of creativity, problem solving, and just raw energetic re...
