Weekly Astrology-Tarot Readings

Trigger warning ‼️ This week’s reading includes discussion of sexual assault, sexual abuse, institutional failure, and the emotional impact of not being believed. Please take care of yourself as you read. Before I say anything about this week’s astrology, I need to talk about Cornell University. A young woman identified as Jane Doe has accused seven former fraternity members of sexually assaulting her after she says she was drugged at a fraternity house in 2024. Her civil la

Hello everyone, We begin this week in the aftermath of Saturday’s Aries Full Moon. Throughout September, we’ve talked about finding some breathing room — enough space to look again at old conversations, beliefs, relationships, and decisions without immediately deciding what they mean or what we need to do about them. This week, we may need that breathing room more than ever. Something gets your attention. Someone says exactly the wrong thing. An old feeling resurfaces. Or you

Hello everyone, We’ve spent much of September looking again at old beliefs and conversations, at relationships and decisions. Things we thought we understood. We’ve been clearing out some stale thinking and looking honestly at where our perspective has changed. This week, we begin to understand why. The astrology builds toward an Aries Full Moon on Saturday, September 26. In our Community Chart, this Full Moon falls across the 3rd and 9th houses that connect what we know with

This week's Grand Air Trine is a kind of Mind Cleanse. We’re opening the windows of the mind and letting some fresh air clear out the stale thinking.

This week we’re… Sorting it out → talking about it → getting to the truth of it → seeing it differently.

August showed us something, and as that month closes, September starts by asking: What do I do with what I know now?

This week starts with a very active 8th house in the SGs Community chart. It’s a “rumble in the jungle,” with the planets packing a real punch. On August 23, Mercury in Leo is challenging the Community’s natal Uranus in Taurus. Mercury is moving through our 8th house of transformation and shared resources while Uranus sits in our 5th house of creativity and the inner child. Unexpected conversations or realizations about shared resources, trust, intimacy, children, creativity,

Hello everyone, We are between eclipses, and we are about to move into Virgo season. We learned something while we were moving through Leo. Now we have to decide what we’re going to do with it. The Leo Solar Eclipse on August 12 opened a new cycle, but eclipse energy does not finish its work in a day. What began around that eclipse will continue developing as we move toward the Aquarius Solar Eclipse on February 6, 2027, and then the Leo Solar Eclipse on August 2, 2027. So if

Welcome, everyone. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been talking about the Hammock. July invited us to make room within the fast-paced astrological energy to slow down, catch our breath, and spend some time in the Hammock reflecting before rushing into the next thing. As we enter August, the atmosphere begins to change. It feels as though we’re standing in a doorway. One season is coming to a close, and another is beginning. We may not see the whole path ahead, but we can sense

Hello everyone, Several important planetary shifts begin this week, and although they each have their own unique influence, they’re all inviting us to become more conscious of the way we think, communicate, and respond to the world around us. On July 26, Saturn stations retrograde in Aries. Whenever Saturn appears to stand still in the sky, we tend to feel his presence more strongly. In the Ask the Spirit Guides community chart, Saturn is moving through our 3rd house of commu

Have you ever climbed into a hammock on a warm summer afternoon? The world is still moving around you, but for a little while, you aren’t rushing anywhere. Your body settles. Your breathing slows. You remember that peace is something you choose. That image came to me as I looked at last week’s astrology. Astrologers call this rare planetary pattern between Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter, a cradle or basket. I’m going to call it a hammock. A cradle holds a child who canno

Hello everyone, Have you ever noticed that sometimes life seems to change all at once? One conversation shifts everything. A new realization changes the way you see a relationship. A decision opens a door you hadn’t noticed before. This week feels like that. On July 12, Mercury reaches Cazimi, which means he passes directly through the heart of the Sun while still retrograde in Cancer. During a Mercury retrograde, we may revisit old conversations, memories, and patterns. A Ca

Hello Everyone, First, this post arrives a week late. I'm sorry for the delay. This week begins with one of the more unpredictable astrological combinations we’ve seen in a while. Yesterday, on July 4, Mars and Uranus came together in Gemini, bringing fast-moving, surprising, and sometimes disruptive energy. Mars is heat and action. Uranus is change, breakthroughs, and the unexpected. Together, they can bring everything from sudden weather events and technological glitches to

Hello Everyone, This week’s astrology has a very different rhythm than what we’ll experience as July gets underway. On June 29, we have a Capricorn Full Moon, and just a few hours later Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer. Together, these two events encourage us to slow down, even if life doesn’t. Many of us still have jobs, families, appointments, and responsibilities that require our attention. The astrology isn’t suggesting those things disappear. It’s encouraging us t

Hello Everyone, This week, I’m focusing on a single transit: Venus Enters Leo On June 13, Venus moved into Leo, bringing warmth, creativity, and heart-centered expression. In the SGs community chart, she enters the 8th house of transformation, healing, shared resources, and the places where we grow by letting go. This isn’t a quiet Venus. Leo wants to love generously, create boldly, and be seen for who it truly is. As Venus moves through this part of our community chart, she

Read this week's Becoming Faye blog post at: https://www.thehealingriver.net/post/part-2-mama-and-gene ​ Hello Everyone, This week asks us to be gentle with ourselves. I needed to hear that, and I’ll be following that advice. Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is sitting at 29° Aries, the final degree of the sign. In our community chart, this happens in the 4th house of home, family, roots, and the private parts of life that most people never see. For nearly seven years, Chiron has

Hello everyone, We moved into Gemini season a few days ago. Everything moves faster in Gemini, the sign of the twins. Gemini is very curious and often leads us to ask lots of questions. The duality of this air sign takes us into more thinking, more talking, and (hopefully) more listening. Our minds can go into overdrive. Equally possible, we can download new ideas and sudden lightning bolt understandings that break us free of old stories that have kept us limited. This is hap

Read my new blog post here: https://www.thehealingriver.net/post/mama-and-barney-part-2 Hello Everyone, As I’m preparing this reading on May 16, we are in the middle of the Taurus New Moon. This New Moon initiates a big shift as the five main personal planets all change signs this week. The first one to move is the Moon, of course. She moves through every sign in the zodiac each month, so her cycles move quickly. This is a powerful Super New Moon that invites us to slow down,

Hello everyone, This week Pluto in Aquarius, Mars-Chiron in Aries, transits through Taurus, and Jupiter in Cancer are all in the headlines. In the community chart, Pluto is in our 2nd house of money, values, and possessions. Jupiter is in our 7th house of relationships, and the action in Aries is happening in our 4th house of home and family. On May 6, Pluto in Aquarius stationed retrograde and will remain there until October 15, 2026. This begins a deep period of

This week, Mercury and Pluto are in a challenging conversation. They’re going back and forth across the room, trying to figure out how they want to work together. That means you might be thinking about something obsessively, going deeper with it to try and make sense of it all. At the same time, Mars is moving fast in Aries so there’s a lot of push behind things this week. It doesn’t take much for something small to turn into something big. And Mercury just moved into Taurus
