Your Weekly Forecast

Watch your week ahead on youtube :) click here: @anamariapinedacom

The week begins with the First Quarter Moon in the sign of Scorpio. The first quarter Moon gives us an opportunity to check in with where we are with our intentions and manifestations from the last New Moon. We have an opportunity to check in with the seeds planted on the New Moon and see how we are doing with what we are wanting to create, manifest or intent into our lives. So check in with yourself today, how are you doing? How is your life going? What needs your attention right now?

We are currently in a Mercury Retrograde.

Mercury has been working closely with Venus in Virgo, purifying our hearts. Virgo is purifying our hearts, cleaning deep into the areas where we don’t want to look. Those areas that are too painful, too dark, or too difficult have an opportunity right now to heal.  With both Mercury and Venus in Virgo we can ask ourselves “what hurts? what could be better?” and we can attend to the hurt or what needs to feel better in our lives with skillful loving attention. Virgo is teaching us to focus on our mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.

Virgo teaches us skillful attention.  We learn to discriminate between what is important and what is not. We learn to discriminate between what works and what doesn’t. We learn to be efficient with the use of our hearts and minds. Virgo strives to perfect and improve whatever area of our lives is currently influencing. Virgo is also the most humble sign. Any placement in our chart in Virgo, teaches us humility and service. How can I let go of Ego? How can I be helpful? How can I help myself? How can I help others?

Mercury will be entering the sign of Leo on August 14th, influencing all the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius). Notice what placements you have in Fixed signs. The fixed signs get an opportunity to re-evaluate, review and perhaps redo something in their lives that has been highlighted as needing change or an update since the Mercury retrograde started at the beginning of the month. Collectively, we have a chance to look at something deeper and go over what we have learned so far during this Mercury Retrograde season. Mercury in Leo works closely with the Sun to bring clarity to our hearts and minds about what can be reintegrated or redone in our lives.

Jupiter, Mars and Saturn: big week!

Mars, the planet of action, war and passion is moving to a conjunction with Jupiter in Gemini this week and a square to Saturn in Pisces. This energy activates the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in late 2020. This is a very accident-prone energy so make sure to drive safely this week and avoid arguing or harsh words if you can. Mars (fire, explosions, passionate reactions and aggression) conjunct Jupiter (big, loud, expansive and judgmental), both planets together can make things bigger and take things out of proportion. Stay cool, calm and collected this week and don’t take things personally.

Think back to late 2020 when the conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn occurred. What did you begin then? What were your intentions and dreams at the time? What did your heart desire then and now? Notice what is coming up for you this week. We have an opportunity to reassess how far we have come from what we started at that time in our lives. Particularly think back to the time of the pandemic. What did you learn about yourself and your life then? What changes did you want to make in your life and where are you now in regards to those changes? The pandemic gave everyone a wake-up call. A call to be more mindful and intentional about the life we are creating for ourselves. There was a moment when none of us knew what was going to happen next. We had to embrace the unknown. We had to embrace our own mortality and the mortality of the world itself. In the wake of facing our own mortality, we have an opportunity to see the value of our own lives and the contribution that this one life can make in the world. What have you learned since then?

The beauty of life is that we always get a new opportunity. Every sunrise, every minute and every new breath…an opportunity to start again and again and again…till we get it right. The applying square between Jupiter and Saturn invites us to begin again. Start new. Start fresh. Don’t ignore the signs. Don’t ignore the discomfort…don’t ignore what doesn’t feel right in your life…listen. The Universe is always speaking to you and so is your life. If something doesn’t feel right deep within you it is because it is not right for you. Seek what feels right. Seek what gives you peace, ease, love and joy. Your life is what you make of it. What will you make of your life now? That is the question being posed to all of us as Jupiter, Mars and Saturn come to a square (stress that invites us to change) this week.

The energies this week are pivotal, take a moment to check the state of your current reality (Saturn). Is this the reality I want for myself? Jupiter, Mars and Saturn are knocking at the door of your reality. It’s time to open the door. It’s time to answer the question.
