LEO SEASON
LEO SEASON IS HERE! Today, Friday July 22nd, 2022 marks the beginning of Leo season, where the sun finds itself back in its home in the sign of Leo where it’s most comfortable. As the Sun is ruled by the fixed fire sign, Leo season pushes us into the spotlight for the final stretch of Summer.
TAURUS SEASON
Happy Taurus season! With the sun moving through this Venusian fixed earth sign we’re thinking about processes of growth. Specifically, what they feel like. The ease and pleasure of a slow stretch, seeing seedlings break out of the soul, the unfurling of a rose bud, feeling a song’s bass vibrating through your body. There’s a steadiness about Taurus that is rooted in the body, in the material of being alive. Taurus season teaches us about being meticulous without gripping; careful about our desires while giving them space.
STRENGTH
Strength is card 8 of the Major Arcana, often depicted by a figure with a lion, and is astrologically connected to Leo. When we let ourselves fully embody Strength, we integrate both fire and water, courage and vulnerability. Embodying Strength means working towards the courageous act of pure self-acceptance—giving ourselves permission to express conflict, sulk in our feelings, shout love, be brave. All without shame or guilt.
PISCES SEASON
Happy Pisces season! This is the first one in a few years where Jupiter is guiding the Sun from its home sign. It might feel more possible or necessary to dream, grow, create, learn, explore, collaborate, and fantasise as the Sun shines a spotlight on the Pisces part of your life.
THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Whenever I draw The Wheel of Fortune for myself or others, I find that it’s usually this invitation to check where we’ve tightened our grip to avoid the negative. Where we’re clenched, where we’re hoping to stay in control of flawless outcomes. We want to seize the wheel and control its direction, rhythm, and velocity so that we don’t get hurt.
AQUARIUS SEASON
Welcome to Aquarius season, ARMY! Broadly speaking, this is the season of originality, idealism, deep thinking, and visualizing for the future. Much to the annoyance of the Aquarians I know, most stereotypes of the sign portray them as alien oddballs who dance to the beat of their own drum and make little sense to other members of the zodiac. But in truth, Aquarius is a sign of revolution, of rejecting the conventions that exist only for the sake of the status quo, and of visualizing a more just collective future.
VENUS RETROGRADE
Venus stations retrograde at 26 degrees of Capricorn on the 19th of December, its motion appearing to reverse through the sky until the 29th of January 2022. When a planet is retrograde, linearity has less of the usual grip on its function. Instead, the motion is a kind of wandering, searching and excavating which can unearth essential hidden information.
