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 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! Venus moves into Virgo on Sunday 8/4 and will be there until 8/30 - this correlates to a relational focus on purpose and meaning in our relationships. Also on Sunday, the New Moon in Leo happens on 8/4 at 4:13am Pacific Time. This New Moon is a fresh start around giving and receiving love, affection, attention, and secure attachment. Themes around masking & performance vs. authenticity and true self may arise this week. Finally, Mercury will station retrograde on Sunday 8/4. This particular Mercury retrograde is a time period of contemplating how you want to bring new vitality and energy into your life by making unconventional shifts. Happy New Moon and wishing you a wonderful week! 🦋

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! 🦋

This week's astrology of July 15th - 21st brings unexpected angsty vibes as well as successes and taking action toward your authentic needs. Most vibrantly, Mars will conjunct Uranus in Taurus symbolizing the fired up energy that's been building over the last few weeks. Then, Mars will move into Gemini on Saturday 7/20 - indicating a shift in action orientation toward sharing ideas and being more fluid about change and transition. Also this week, the Sun will square Chiron to show a potential for healing places of vulnerability. Finally, the Full Moon in Capricorn will happen on Sunday 7/21 at 3:17am Pacific Time at 29 degrees of Capricorn. This lunation corresponds to a culmination of events, experiences, or feelings around material security, safety, and success. Overall, this week has a loud tone with potential for unexpected stressors as well as success where you've already put in much effort in your life. Wishing you a most healing, easeful, and empowered week! 💜
