Weekly Overview
05.29-06.04.2024
This week starts off with some destabilizing and activating energies as Mars meets up with Chiron, and Mercury meets up with Uranus. Expect to be triggered, reactive, agitated, and maybe even inspired to take a stand and do what you believe to be right. By the time we hit early June, we have much more supportive transits happening, so if you cross the line in the early half of the week, it won’t be too hard to smooth over ruffled feathers in the second half of the week.
For more detailed information about the astrology of the moment, listen to my twice-weekly astrology and advice show, Ghost of a Podcast, below, or wherever podcasts are heard. If you prefer to read your astrology, you can peep the transcript for the latest episode here.
Previous Week
It doesn’t matter how well things go for you—if you don’t feel your own successes you can become indentured to your own ego. It’s essential that you take time to deeply appreciate the progress you’ve made, the gifts you’ve received, and the things you’ve achieved, Aries. That won’t stop you from longing or magically making your greatest wishes come true, but it will help you to be present with all that you have and more resilient as you strive towards creating more.
If you get too bogged down in looking for who’s at fault, you will waste your energy and miss the opportunity to determine what you’re going to do about your circumstances as they are. While how you got here is important, at the moment it’s not as important as what you’re going to do now that you are here, Taurus. Take a flexible and creative approach to navigating the worlds within and outside of you this week.

It’s time to let go, Twin Star. Instead of pushing for old goals in old ways, it’s time for you to actively embody the changes that you have been working so long and hard to make. This doesn’t need to be dramatic, but it does need to be emotionally honest. You may need to let go of old habits or attitudes, and you may not know what that will look like on the other side. It’s time to take risks to help you be more true to yourself.

When things go your way, it is a glorious thing, Moonchild! But that’s also when your ego can inspire you to become so self-involved that you miss out on what’s happening for the people around you. Do your best this week to honor the things that spark joy in your life. Embrace your good feelings and opportunities, and still find ways of showing up for others in a way that makes them feel seen and acknowledged.
There’s so much that you don’t know and can’t control, and it’s likely to be sparking anxiety in you this week. Do your best to accept where things are at in the here and now. If you rush yourself or others, you’re likely to be feeling pretty rotten and be just as stuck as you were before. Train your focus upon what you do know and what you can do today, and let your circumstances and self-esteem shift in their own time, Leo.
If your ego is not a well-adjusted state, which is to say if it’s too weak or too strong, you’re likely to find yourself caught up in reactions and defences that better reflect your triggers than your situation this week. The best thing you can do is reflect on what you’re thinking and feeling, as well as your past experiences, Virgo. If you allow your strongest emotions and loudest reactions to drive you, you’re likely to make a mess of the very things you’re trying to tidy up.

This week, your fears have a lot to tell you and it’s up to you to decode their messages. There may be concerns that you have that are inspired by fear and fear alone, while other concerns may be your intuition and instincts raising alarm bells for very real threats. Don’t be so avoidant of unpleasant feelings that you miss out on messages from your own inner wisdom, Libra.
It’s time to work on the faith that you have in yourself. This week is a good one to check in with your instincts, needs and desires, and to consider what you’re doing and whether or not your actions reflect them. You are in a period of slow but steady development, and it is wise for you to use the time you have to invest in things that are important to you. Strive to stay open-hearted and patient, Scorpio.

The things that feel like blocks on your path are the exact same things that require your care and attention, Sagittarius. You may have too many things on the table all at once, or you may be over-committed and not sure how to rise to the occasion for some of the things that are most important to you. Whatever the case may be, if you slow down and get grounded, it will help you to use your time and energy more wisely this week.
If you’ve overdone it recently, then this week you’re likely to be paying the price. When you are burnt out or just plain exhausted, you may find yourself feeling defensive and irritated—but this is just a redirect from your psyche. Nurture yourself through the chaotic responses you’re having internally this week so that you don’t press yourself further and make things worse. It’s okay to have limits, you just need to honor them, Capricorn.

Your relationships may be in a bit of a challenging phase this week, and it’s important that you deal with them head-on. Treating the people that are important to you in ways that reflect that importance is essential stuff. If you are feeling trapped it may be easier to focus on that than on what you feel, need, and have to offer, as well as what you’re willing to do about it. The best thing that you can do is take responsibility for your part, Aquarius.

This week you’re likely to find yourself wading through some pretty overwhelming emotions. Do your best to get grounded, even if that feels like it’s slowing you down in some way. You are in need of some simple and effective self-care as it will lay the foundations that you need for mobilizing in the direction of who and what you care about. For best results, don’t rush your process, Pisces.
