In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This week's astrology of August 19th - 25th brings a Full Moon in Aquarius on Monday 8/19 at 11:26am Pacific Time, which correlates to a culmination around your process of becoming, independence, autonomy, and social connections. Also this week, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus will continue to make their aspect called a t-square, which illustrates an apex of themes around expansion-contraction, morals, duties, responsibilities, and how you want to take actions around these themes. Finally, the Sun moves into Virgo to show a conscious focus on intentionality, healing, purposefulness, values, routines & rituals, grounding into the meaning of your life. Wishing you a most easeful and enjoyable week ahead 🦋

This week's astrology of August 26th - September 1st brings several astrological signatures involving Venus: the symbol of relationships, beauty, attraction, flow states, and values. Venus in Virgo will trine Uranus and oppose Neptune - this shows potential for confronting illusions or ideas which then brings sparks of new insights. After that, Venus moves into Libra on Thursday 8/29 and will be there until 9/23. Venus in Libra shifts our relational focus from intentionality and purposefulness (Virgo) to diplomacy, justice, and finding balance (Libra). Once in Libra, Venus will trine Pluto in Aquarius to correlate with experiences we may find healing via exposure of unconscious patterns. Also this week, Mercury stations direct at 21 degrees of Leo on Wednesday 8/28. This marks a transition point of our reflection process that began when Mercury stationed retrograde on 8/4. It's a time to reflect on what you've been changing in your life (or wanting to change) and why. Finally, a collective transit happens this week: Pluto moves into Capricorn on Sunday 9/1 and will be there thru 11/19/2024. This brings us back to the themes of Pluto in Capricorn from 2008 - 2023. Pluto will only be in Capricorn briefly and will move into Aquarius in November 2024 and be there until 2043. These next few months we may connect with the finality of collective experiences that have happened from 2008 to now. Overall, this week emphasizes the multidimensional components of relationship, how you want, what you want, and a potential for healing via your experiences in relationships. I'm wishing you ease, healing, and insight this week 🦋

In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This week's astrology of April 1st - 7th, we'll experience the beginning of Mercury retrograde in Aries starting on Monday, April 1st. This transit of about 3 weeks involves internal contemplation of our relationship to our identity, independence, and self-esteem. This Mercury retrograde in Aries involves Chrion (healing and self-sacrifice), the North Node (growth and new or unfamiliar experiences), and Venus (relationships, beauty, and also self-esteem). Also this week, Venus will conjunct Neptune in Pisces and then move into Aries on Thursday, April 4th. Venus' journey through the portal of Neptunian experience and then into the territory of Aries symbolizes our journey of relational experience from embodied experience and witnessing (Pisces) to embodied action and passion (Aries). Overall, this week is about reassessing how we feel about our sense of self and contemplating how these themes have been happening since the beginning of eclipse season on March 19th. Wishing you an easeful, joyful, and deeply meaningful week 🦋

This week's astrology of July 29th - August 4th brings Venus in Leo square Uranus in Taurus (honoring your need for divergence and spontaneous inspiration in relationships, beauty, and enjoyment). Venus in Leo will also trine Chiron in Aries to foster healing of vulnerabilities in this process. Then, a lot happens on Sunday!

This week's astrology for February 19th - 25th brings a Full Moon in Virgo. This lunation symbolizes a culmination and celebration of our process of healing psyche. It's a marker of how far we've come and offers visions into the future paths forward. Also this week, the ruler of this Moon, Mercury, moves into Pisces to inspire us to think creatively, spatially, and to find answers through acceptance and letting go. All this happens within the context of Venus conjunct Mars nearby Pluto - a combination signaling the continued process of relational healing thru integrity with ourselves and others. Wishing you an easeful week ahead 🦋

In this weekly podcast, psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week and how to make the most of it.

This week's astrology for January 15th - 21st brings a major transit of Pluto moving into Aquarius. This coincides with the Sun making a conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn before both Pluto and the Sun move into Aquarius. These transits signal new awareness and consciousness (Sun) of situations or behaviors that have been hidden or unconscious (Pluto), especially themes around power, control, security, or tradition (Capricorn). This is a pivotal time for bringing healing and closure to situations that came up while Pluto had it's very long stay in Capricorn from 2008 - 2024. Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces brings some ambiguous yet helpful healing possibilities to this week as well. And we have the support of a First Quarter Moon in Aries to bring a sense of passionate and spirited motivation to meet whatever may come this week - wishing you a fabulous week ahead!

- Venus conjunct Neptune & North Node in Pisces: healing via flow states, beauty, or deeply meaningful social connections, intuition is heightened, boundaries or info may be blurred, cultivating faith or hope or trust in yourself & others

In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This week's astrology of May 13th – 19th brings opportunities to connect with your true self. This involves the Sun making a conjunction to Uranus and then Jupiter in Taurus to symbolize moving against conventional rules or social norms. Venus will also conjunct Uranus this week, emphasizing the relational element of this phenomenon. It’s a time where you are discovering more about what it means to be authentic with yourself (Sun-Uranus) and with others (Venus-Uranus). Also this week, the First Quarter Moon in Leo brings an added layer of emphasis around the polarity of self-expression vs. performance. At this point in the monthly lunar cycle, you may be questioning how to move forward in your life based on your priorities vs. the expectations of others. Finally, Mercury moves into Taurus and will square Pluto in Aquarius – this transit is an opportunity to think deeply and discover hidden truths or treasures you may not have realized up to this point. This week, remember that unmasking the true self is a continued process over the lifetime. Thank you for being exactly who you are right now. Wishing you a lovely week 🦋

This week's astrology involves a bit of mystery and some initiations (actions which lead you to a new path). There are a lot of themes involving healing, relationships, and how you perceive things. This week, you may be reflecting on how you respond to a variety of situations. There may be changes in how you connect with others that has far reaching effects. This week's astrology includes:- Full Moon in Libra: Culmination, celebration, seeing the results of things, especially around relationships, values, self-concept, money, sexuality, enjoyment, beauty, and affection. Chiron opposite this Full Moon adds themes of healing, learning, tending to your vulnerabilities, and balancing care of yourself with care of others. Mars square this Full Moon shows that your anger, agitation, or inflammation may be a catalyst for change.

- Venus Stations Direct in Pisces: A pause and shifting gears in how you've been reflecting or doing behind the scenes activities. This is a shift in the tides in connection to Venus themes (relationships, beauty, enjoyment, finances, self-concept). Venus conjunct Saturn in Pisces shows there may be a sense of reality, results, or seeing what is sustainable in those Venusian issues. Venus' station direct marks the completion of Venus retrograde that began on March 1st.

- Mercury Stations Direct in Pisces: Also here, another pause around reflections and behind the scenes activities. In this case, it's a shift in your inner dialogue, communication, intuition, imagination, sensory experience, and possibly even negotiations, contracts, or learning & teaching activities.

- Jupiter in Gemini square Ceres in Pisces: Being called to explore something new, this may involve a separation or letting go (either internally or externally). There is also a theme of allowing others the space to have their own journey, and this frees you to have your unique path as well.

Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety 🦋

Overall, this week feels like a combination of integration and further opening in your journey of self-discovery and embodiment of Self. Wishing you an easeful and joyful week 🦋

This week's astrology for February 12th - 18th involves Mars and Venus moving into Aquarius and immediately making a conjunction with Pluto. This transit continues our process of personal growth, self-development, and healing unconscious material via directly (Mars) engaging with others (Venus) and confronting previously unseen dynamics (Pluto). Also this week, Mercury in Aquarius will square Uranus in Taurus to add an extra layer of awakening to new ideas and possibly reframing a situation anew. This Mercury-Uranus transit coincides with the First Quarter Moon in Taurus on Friday 2/16, that marks an emotional pivot point. Finally, the Sun moves into Pisces on Sunday 2/18 (happy birthday Pisces folks!) to shift our conscious focus from innovation (Aquarius) to states of consciousness and healing (Pisces).

This week's astrology of March 25th – 29th involves a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra, this is a symbol of healing relational dynamics involving codependence, interdependence, and moving toward healthy relationship.

In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This week's astrology of June 24th - 30th brings opportunities to think thoroughly, deeply, and long-term about situations that have been on your mind for a while. Mercury in Cancer will make a helpful trine to Saturn in Pisces - this symbolizes a concentrated mind with the capacity to think through your responsibilities, commitments, and relationship to time. Mercury will also square Chiron in Aries, invoking awareness around experiences of helping, healing, and how you sacrifice your life force to help others (consciously or unconsciously). We also have the Last Quarter Moon in Aries which symbolizes an emotional tone of releasing and letting go. Finally, Saturn will station retrograde this week at 19 degrees of Pisces and appear to move backward through the zodiac to 12 degrees of Pisces until November 2024. This retrograde process symbolizes a psychological process of working through responsibilities, limitations, or hardships that came up this past March - May 2024...but from a different perspective. Overall, this week there's a lot to think about and it may feel like a mental-emotional-spiritual sorting through - especially around your limits, responsibilities, and commitments. Wishing you a most easeful and healing week 🦋

This week's astrology of April 8th - 14th gives us pause to reflect on the call toward our initiation process with the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries. This eclipse marks a point in the month-long eclipse cycle where we may be reimagining our identity and our path forward in the process of becoming. This eclipse period also includes Mercury being retrograde and conjunct the Sun in Aries - a symbol of brief but powerful clarity around these issues of what is beginning vs. ending this month. Also this week, Mars will conjunct Saturn in Pisces. This transit speaks to the power of determination, commitment, and thoughtful action. Overall, this week has a lot of big-hype-type feelings - take some time to contemplate and notice where you're being drawn to focus yourself at this time. Wishing you an easeful & empowering week 🦋

In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This week's astrology of August 12th - 18th brings a Mercury cazimi in Leo that symbolizes restoration, renewal, and psychological integration. This is the midpoint in Mercury's retrograde process where we are contemplating changes around purposefulness, routines, & rituals (Virgo) and authentic self-expression (Leo). Also this week, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus will make an aspect called a t-square, which illustrates an apex of themes around expansion-contraction, morals, duties, responsibilities, and how you want to take actions around these themes. Overall, this week is about finding connection to yourself within the relationships and commitments you have in place. Wishing you a most easeful and illuminating week ahead! 🦋

PS - Hope you enjoy this week's forecast! I have a new addition to my family (a rescue dog!) and have been working out logistics of having him in my home office. I just realized that you can still slightly hear his snore if you're listening with headphones.

In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This week's astrology of June 10th - 16th helps us cultivate a flexible state of mind with several dynamic transits. Mars in Taurus continues to square Pluto in Aquarius, symbolizing the exposure of our desire to act directly and decisively. Mercury will conjunct the Sun in Gemini and both will make a square to Saturn in Pisces - this transit promotes insight, awareness, and gleaning a silver lining on current events in your life. The addition of Saturn symbolizes a confronting of truths. This configuration is emphasized by the First Quarter Moon in Virgo on Thursday 6/13, by asking: how can you take a purposeful and empowering approach to what's happening right now. Finally, Venus in Gemini makes a square to Neptune in Pisces, which illuminates the possibility for illusions or a blurring of focus. With this transit it's helpful to remember that you're always in process - there may be inner negotiations of where you are now and where you think you should be.

In this weekly podcast, psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week and how to make the most of it.

This week's astrology for January 29th - February 4th involves a helpful and harmonious connection of Mars with Uranus. This week, Mars in Capricorn will trine Uranus in Taurus to symbolize how fierce action (Mars) can open radically new ways of being (Uranus). This aspect asks us to take action, to fight for or advocate for what we feel strongly about, and to be open to doing things unconventionally in that process. Also this week, the Third Quarter Moon in Scorpio on Friday, February 2nd brings opportunities to reflect deeply on how we want to focus our time and energy as we wind down in this waning (introverted) phase of the monthly lunar cycle before the next New Moon in Aquarius on February 9th. During any experience of Scorpio, we benefit from deep and thoughtful contemplation, with an intention of bringing healing to the scenario. Finally, Mercury in Capricorn will sextile Neptune in Pisces to offer a subtly supportive moment around finding answers via dream, intuition, or heartfelt request. A lovely time to seek answers via your regular meditative or mindfulness practices. Wishing you an easeful week ahead!

This week's astrology of March 4th - 10th, we experience shifts in consciousness and awareness of new realities with Mercury conjunct Neptune in Pisces. This can bring divine revelation and intuitive insights as well as confusion about practical matters. We become more clear and decisive this weekend and in the month ahead when Mercury moves into Aries on Saturday, March 9th. An element of frustration and angst is possible with Mars in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus. And finally, the culmination of this week is a New Moon in Pisces on Sunday, March 10th at 2am Pacific Time, at 20 degrees of Pisces. This New Moon asks us to be open, flexible in our mindset, and to connect with something beyond our mundane existence. This New Moon is joined by Neptune and Saturn in Pisces, which may bring up themes of wanting to be in the flow of life, surrender, faith (Neptune); and how those experiences support or conflict with the limitations and structure of life (Saturn). Wishing you an easeful week ahead 🦋

This week's astrology of July 22th - 28th brings Leo season with the Sun moving into Leo on Monday 7/22. Happy birthday to my Leo folks! This marks a solar (conscious) focus on feeling seen, heard, appreciated, and loved for who you are at your core. Themes around appreciation, affection, and generosity will also be emphasized this week and the whole month going forward. The Sun in Leo will also make an opposition to Pluto in Aquarius, correlating to themes of power, control, autonomy, repression, and discovering hidden parts of the Self that are ready to come forward now. This process may feel challenging yet relieving. Also this week, Mercury moves into Virgo on Thursday 7/25. This movement symbolizes a mental focus (Mercury) on processes and purposefulness of your life. You may also get a feel for the areas of your life that you want to review and reconsider when Mercury is retrograde from 8/4 - 8/28 in Virgo & Leo this August. Finally, the Third Quarter Moon in Taurus on Saturday 7/27 shows an emotional tone of determined follow-through this weekend. This weekend is a lovely time to wrap-up and clear your path for moving forward with ease. Wishing you much healing and comfort this week! 🦋

In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This week's astrology of April 29th – May 5th brings relational resources online where things have felt (possibly) in flux and in a major transition. Venus will move into Taurus on Monday 4/29 and be in this fixed earth sign until 5/24. This symbolizes potential for healing, soothing, and settling relational dynamics. And yes, Venus will also square Pluto this week to reveal patterns or information that has been elusive or forgotten for quite some time. This week we are in the Third Quarter Moon phase of the lunar cycle which supports wrapping up, processing, and winding down or finishing projects over the next two weeks. Also this week, Mars will move into Aries to assist in taking action more easefully, feeling more bold, and maybe motivated where things have felt uncertain up to now. Ultimately, this week is about resources and parts of self coming back online to support your continued journey toward the Self. Wishing you an easeful week 🦋

This week is a focus on feelings & enthusiastic emotional expression along with contemplations about what is truly important to you. This week's astrology includes:

- Full Moon conjunct Mars (retrograde): extra emphasis around your vitality, anger, courage, inner strength, protection/defense/advocacy, taking emotional risks, & cutting ties

This week's astrology deepens some themes we've been experiencing over the last week and month. The astrology symbolizes a process where we continue to encounter shadow (unconscious parts) of ourselves. This is a process of allowing more of yourself to come forward. This process is a rebirth - possibility involving labor pains, relief, existential contemplation, and release into the unknown of a new beginning . This week's astrology includes:- Sun-Mars-Pluto t-square: Further clarifying and amplifying patterns of power, autonomy to act, control, deep healing that can unfold via conscious awareness of these issues- Sun in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius: Restructuring ego, identity, and relationship to what masculinity means to you, composting what may be false identity- Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius: Empowering your righteous rage, exposing new parts of self that are connected to your enthusiasm for life, and your boundaries- New Moon in Taurus on Sunday, April 27 at 12:31pm PT: Planting new seeds in your psyche around what you need/want to live, grow, exist with security and stability . . . something new is pushing thru the soil- Venus conjunct Saturn & North Node in Pisces: Considering relational agreements, boundaries, and non-negotiable qualities in relationship. Also contemplating your values and how you connect with beauty, love, and pleasure in your life. North Node brings an open portal of possibilities.- Venus-Saturn in Pisces trine Juno in Scorpio: Opportunities for assistance and protection when you assume an internal experience of your worthiness.- Pallas Athena in Aquarius trine Jupiter in Gemini: Opportunities for strategic thinking that leads to hope, optimism, or more options.

Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety 🦋

In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This week's astrology of September 2nd - 8th brings opportunities for beginning fresh with intention. We have a New Moon in Virgo happening on Monday 9/2 at 6:55pm Pacific Time at about 11 degrees of Virgo. This symbolizes a rebirth around ritual, routine, ideal images of self & other, and basically asks: why are you doing what you're doing? How does the now inform the future? Also this week, Mars in Gemini will square Neptune in Pisces to show how we can move in the flow and still get where we're going. Shortly after, Mars moves into Cancer on Wednesday 9/4. This is a shift where our capacity for action, assertiveness, and being direct (or not) becomes incredibly informed by emotions. Also this week, Mercury in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus to show flashes of insight, new info coming to you rapidly, or diverging from your norm. Mercury then moves into Virgo on Sunday 9/8 - this marks a shift to more focused thinking and you may feel that you're able to move forward after a lot of contemplation or uncertainty in August. Overall, this week is a new beginning and emphasizes how you find purpose and meaning in your life right now. Happy New Moon! 🦋

This week's astrology of March 11th - 17th involves Venus moving into the sign of Pisces on Monday 3/11. Venus will be in this sign of healing, connection thru empathy, compassion, and exploring unconscious patterns from March 11th through April 4th. Venus is Pisces is about connecting in our relationships via a healing function while also holding space for ambiguity in the process. There is also a First Quarter Moon in Gemini on Saturday 3/16 to symbolize moving forward into our ambitions based on new initiatives that began around the New Moon in Pisces on Sunday 3/10. Finally, the Sun in Pisces will conjunct Neptune in Pisces on Sunday 3/17. We will be experiencing this transit all week via heightened extrasensory perceptions, intuitions, and opportunities to connect with flow states. This week emphasizes our capacity for experiencing paradox, indecision, and cultivating a flexible way of being. Be gentle with yourself this week and find ways to get into a flow state of being as much as you can: play, create, listen to good music, dance, question your reality, plan a ritual, meditate, practice mindfulness, do a spiritual practice, visit sacred spaces, connect with the elements of nature, or do anything else that connects you into your self and the divine. Wishing you an easeful week ahead 🦋

This week's astrology of May 20th - 26th brings a mix of Gemini and Sagittarius energies. But first, Venus will make its exact conjunction with Jupiter in Taurus symbolizing potential for uplifting healing. Then, both the Sun and Venus will move into Gemini to bring an emphasis of seeking new info and experiences through variety and social connection.

In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This week's astrology of August 5th - 11th brings us deeper into the initiations of last week. Mercury's retrograde continues in Virgo this week with themes of reviewing, refreshing, and reimagining our systems, processes, routines, & rituals. Mercury will also make a conjunction with Venus in Virgo - adding to correlations around values, healing, and contemplating the meaningfulness of your life. Also this week, the Sun in Leo will make a sextile (helpful opportunity) with Mars & Jupiter in Gemini. This subtle aspect shows that there may be something small we can take advantage of to further our vitality and life force. This week, we continue forward in the Leo New Moon lunar cycle that began on Sunday 8/4. It's a beautiful time for contemplation, conversations, and reflecting on what feels most meaningful to you right now. Wishing you an easy and thoughtful week 🦋

Hope you're doing well as we move forward into 2025. This week is a mixture of inspiration, action, and also opportunities for healing your vitality, ego or sense of self. This week's astrology from a depth psychological astrology perspective:

- Mars (retrograde) moves into Cancer: emotionally motivated to introvert or self-reflect, emphasis on feelings around taking action, agitation, anger, frustration, or passion! also a return to dealing with something that happened in fall 2024 and now needs your attention or action

- Mars (retrograde) in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces: going with the flow, inspired action, spiritual experiences (especially doing meditative movement), spiritual experiences in general, acting from your intuition, also possibly illusions or misreading the signals

- Mercury moves into Capricorn: thinking about practical matters and logistics, settling things that have been uncertain since fall 2024, deciding how to proceed in the next month

- Sun in Capricorn square Chiron in Aries: healing or wisdom (receiving advice or counsel) around your health, vitality, success, or healing experiences around how you give/receive help & support in general, also possibly healing experiences around paternal figures or roles

- First Quarter Moon in Aries: actively inspired to do something about your healing process or to learn something new

This weeks astrology of October 7th - 13th involves Venus in Scorpio making an easeful trine with Mars in Cancer - this symbolizes healing and emboldening our actions. The First Quarter Moon in Cancer also illustrates moving into a situation for your further growth and development. Meanwhile, Mercury will aspect Jupiter and Pluto before moving into Scorpio.

This week's astrology involves an exploration of your fluctuating state of consciousness. There are correlations around new beginnings with your intuition and how you can tell the difference between an intuitive knowing vs. illusions. Overall, this week brings many of the planets together via aspect and this may feel like a lot of inner integration over the next month as this New Moon cycle progressed forward thru the month. This week's astrology includes:

- New Moon in Pisces: new beginnings involving many areas of life! especially around your state of consciousness, perceptions, intuitions, and experiences of fear or illusions. This New Moon is in aspect with Saturn (structure), Mercury (thought process), the North Node (personal development), Neptune (the mystical), Jupiter (generosity), and Mars (passion) - many planets (inner parts of yourself & external situations) are involved in this monthly initiation. It may feel like a lot of psychological sorting and synthesis throughout the month.

- Mercury conjunct Saturn in Pisces: a mental focus or communications about the practical matters, meeting limitations, and negotiating boundaries

- Mercury in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus: a subtle but unexpected opportunity or chance meeting sparks insight

- Mercury conjunct Neptune in Pisces: thinking about what is real vs. an illusion, possibly encountering new ways of thinking about limitations or fears

- Venus stations Retrograde in Aries: over the next couple of months, a reconnecting with your heart & values, as well as thoroughly considering topics of relationship dynamics, self-worth, beauty & style, sexuality & sensuality

Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety 🦋

This week's astrology focuses on how we can reclaim parts of ourselves that have been disowned or distorted via unconscious processes. There is a strong theme of action, enthusiasm, expression, and also strong activation. This week's astrology includes:

- Mercury moves into Aries (and will conjunct Neptune in Pisces & sextile Pluto in Aquarius): Quick thinking, inspired talks, rapid insights, a shift in your perception around issues that have been uncertain or ambiguous for the past month or two. Watch for changes in your dreams, thoughts, & daydreams - and what they may be saying to you now.

- Mars moves into Leo (and will oppose Pluto in Aquarius & trine Neptune in Aries): Excitement! Enthusiasm to act, share, express, and be creative in ways that are deeply meaningful to you. Possibly compelled to get something off your chest. Connecting to your power, vitality, courage, and desire to fight for what's important to you.

- Sun moves into Taurus: Conscious focus on rooting in, developing and stabilizing. Finding meaningful experiences via the material and sensory world.

- Sun-Mars-Pluto t-square: This is a dynamic, energizing, and enlivening combo! It may be quite activating and spur you into action or bring up strong emotions. Possibility for unconscious patterns to arise around power, manipulation, shame, or control. Notice what activates you and give your feelings space to exist. Also symbolizes things like occultism, deep emotional healing, and underworld journeys that bring you closer to your true self.

- Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius: Emotional connection to the deeper more intimate parts of yourself and your authentic nature. Deciding what you want to focus on now that is most important to you.

- Juno Asteroid (retrograde) moves back into Scorpio: Reconnecting with your inner resilience - especially around issues of intimacy, bonding deeply with other people, and how you move through the varied challenges of long-term commitments. Juno in Scorpio is about the dance between distance and closeness in relationships; and how we can feel safe enough to be vulnerable and depend on others.

Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety 🦋

In this weekly podcast, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath, AMFT shares the astrology of this week from a psychological perspective.

This weeks astrology of September 30th - October 6th brings a something new and something to release. We begin the week with Mercury conjunct the Sun in Libra. This transit happens several times throughout the year and it marks an initiation of new insights or a psychological integration of something that has been unclear up to now. Then, the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra happens on Wednesday 10/2 at 11:49am Pacific Time. This symbolizes a new beginning around relationships, harmony, justice, and finding a sense of ourselves in relationship. Because this eclipse is focused on the South Node, there's a theme of starting fresh as well as releasing what holds you in spaces of indecision. Also this week, Venus in Scorpio will trine Saturn in Pisces . . . and basically complete a grand trine with Venus-Mars-Saturn in the water signs. This is an astrological signature of deepening into relationships and committing to things that are important to you over the long-term vision of your life. Overall, this week brings lots of newness and the opportunity to release old patterns. Wishing you well this week! 🦋

Finally, Jupiter in Gemini will make a helpful trine to Pluto which supports your expanding your capacity for depth and intensity of experience. Wishing you a most easeful week 🦋

This week's astrology of July 1st - 7th brings opportunities to refine our perspective of reality. First, we have Mercury in Cancer making a trine to Neptune that symbolizes intuitive connections, dreams, and mystical insights.
