Siren Star Report October 13th-20th

This week pulses with love, truth, and transformation. Venus enters Libra, inviting harmony, beauty, and connection into our relationships, even as Pluto turns direct, moving transformation from inner work into the world. Sparks fly midweek with trines and squares that challenge us to balance desire with discernment, optimism with reality, and courage with patience.

As Mercury joins Mars in Scorpio later in the week, the cosmos sharpen our focus and communication, pushing us to speak honestly, act decisively, and lean into what truly matters. The skies are alive with energy that’s bold, clarifying, and full of possibility. So let’s dive into it!

The week opens with Venus entering Libra on October 13th, her home sign of harmony, balance, and beauty. Venus, the planet of love, values, and connection. It all feels most at ease in Libra, encouraging cooperation, charm, and relational grace. This is a time to nurture partnerships, bring diplomacy into tense situations, and align your actions with your heart’s desires. Yet Venus immediately opposes Neptune in Aries, inviting us to discern fantasy from reality. In astrology, an opposition occurs when two planets face each other across the zodiac, creating tension and a push-pull dynamic. Here, it asks us to honor our dreams while staying grounded in truth.

Also on October 13th, Pluto stations direct in Aquarius, signaling a collective turning point. When Pluto moves from retrograde to direct, the inner transformations we’ve been working on begin to manifest outwardly. This energy encourages release, empowerment, and radical growth, often in unexpected ways.

By October 14th, Venus forms trines to Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius, opening space for sudden insights, creative breakthroughs, and authentic connections. A trine is a harmonious aspect where planets are about 120° apart. That allows energy to flow easily, bringing opportunities that feel natural and effortless. These trines highlight unexpected joys, relational growth, and alignment with your deeper values.

Midweek, on October 16th, the Sun in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer, presenting a cosmic push-pull between optimism and practicality. A square occurs when planets are 90° apart, creating tension that challenges us to act. This transit may amplify overconfidence or overcommitment, reminding us to pause, evaluate, and maintain balance before moving forward.

Finally, on October 19th, Mercury joins Mars in Scorpio, intensifying communication, strategy, and focus. Mercury governs thought and speech, while Mars brings drive and action. Together in Scorpio, the energy encourages penetrating insight, honest conversations, and decisive moves, especially around matters that require emotional depth or uncovering hidden truths.

This week’s cosmic currents push us to align our hearts with our actions, speak and listen with clarity, and transform what no longer serves. It’s a blend of harmony and challenge, perfect for reflection, bold decisions, and heartfelt connections.

The Moon travels through a waning crescent all week, encouraging reflection, release, and subtle shifts. This is the final stretch of the lunar cycle, a time to tie up loose ends, meditate on the bigger picture, and prepare for the fresh intentions of the upcoming New Moon on October 21st. Even now, we can feel the subtle build-up toward renewal, as the waning crescent whispers to slow down, honor endings, and create space for what’s coming.

As the days unfold, this lunar energy gently reminds us that inner work is just as important as action. Pause, reflect, and listen to the quieter currents of your heart. It’s the perfect complement to this week’s bold Venus and Mercury movements.

Lean into: heart centered connection, honest conversations, emotional discernment, and creative breakthroughs. With Venus in Libra harmonizing and challenging our desires, this is a week to seek clarity in relationships and act from a place of authenticity.

Avoid: illusions in love or work, overextending yourself, and reactive decisions. The Neptune opposition and Sun-Jupiter square highlight where dreams may collide with reality, so pause before committing or promising too much.

Embody: the Siren who moves with grace, courage, and curiosity. The Siren who is able to speak her truth, honor boundaries, and balance bold action with reflective insight. Let your presence be magnetic, grounded in self-awareness, and open to unexpected inspiration.

This week’s Tarot Tide card is the 7 of Pentacles. A gentle reminder to pause, assess, and reflect on the seeds you’ve planted in your life. Whether in relationships, career, or personal growth, the 7 of Pentacles asks: What is bearing fruit? What needs more attention?

The energy of this card encourages patience and discernment. It’s a moment to step back from constant action, evaluate progress, and consider the next steps with clarity and intention. Combined with the week’s Venus and Mercury transits, the 7 of Pentacles highlights opportunities for refinement and alignment… not rushing forward, but nurturing what matters most.

Take this time to check your investments, both literal and energetic. Are you putting your time, energy, and love into what truly serves your long-term growth? The cosmos is asking for conscious cultivation, and the 7 of Pentacles is your guide to steady, mindful progress.

As the Moon wanes and its light softens, we’re invited into stillness. The quiet space between endings and beginnings. This week’s energy asks us to pause and prepare, to honor how far we’ve come before setting our sights on what’s next. With the 7 of Pentacles guiding our reflection, it’s the perfect moment to tend your inner garden and prepare the soil for the intentions you’ll plant under next week’s New Moon. Here is ritual to help you prepare seeds for the new moon:

Set the space: Light a candle in your favorite earthy or autumnal color… deep red, amber, or brown. Gather a small notebook or journal, a pen, and a few items that feel symbolic of growth or abundance to you (like seeds, small stones, or crystals).

Ground yourself: Take several deep breaths, feeling your body rooted to the earth. Visualize your intentions as seeds lying ready in fertile soil, waiting for care and attention.

Reflect and release: Look back on the past lunar cycle. Write down what you’ve accomplished, what you’ve learned, and anything that no longer serves you. Acknowledge these experiences, then burn the paper or rip it up and discard of the pieces to symbolize the release.

Plant your intentions: On a fresh page, write down the seeds you want to nurture for the upcoming New Moon. These can be goals, habits, creative projects, or emotional intentions. Visualize each one taking root, growing steadily, and flourishing with attention and care. (Bonus tip: plant the paper in soil to symbolize the planting of intentions)

Closing: Take a few deep breaths and imagine your intentions infused with energy and focus. Extinguish the candle with the affirmation: “I honor my growth, release the old, and plant seeds for what is yet to come.”

As the Moon fades toward darkness and we stand on the threshold of the New Moon, may this week remind you that growth often happens in the quiet spaces between effort and rest, planting and blooming. Trust the rhythm of your own timing. Your patience, reflection, and care are part of the magic unfolding beneath the surface.

May your spirit be calm, your roots steady, and your dreams gently taking shape beneath the soil.
I’ll see you next week under new skies.

Siren Star Report September 29th-October 6th

This week opens with currents of expansion and tension, asking us to balance vision with reality. On October 1st, Juno enters Sagittarius, shifting our commitments toward freedom, wisdom, and the pursuit of higher truths. That same day, Mercury in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer, igniting bold conversations and grand ideas. As we move deeper into the week, clarity sharpens. On October 4th, Pallas stations direct in Aquarius, offering fresh insight into the patterns, strategies, and collective wisdom. By October 6th, Mercury slips into Scorpio, deepening our thoughts and communication with emotional intensity. Also on October 6th we have the Full Moon in Aries, where we’re invited to embrace courage, independence, and the fiery spark to take aligned action.

The seasonal shift into autumn is woven throughout this week’s astrology. Just as the trees shed what no longer serves them, we too are asked to release outdated patterns, clarify our intentions, and gather strength for the journey ahead. The skies remind us that true growth comes from honesty, discernment, and the willingness to trust our inner fire as we step into the next cycle. So, let’s dive in!

The skies this week highlight themes of growth, honesty, and deep transformation. On October 1st, Juno enters Sagittarius, the asteroid of loyalty and partnership shifting into the sign of exploration and truth. In astrology, Juno reflects how we commit and what we value in long-term bonds. With Sagittarius’ adventurous energy, partnerships now thrive when there’s room for curiosity, learning, and freedom. This doesn’t mean running from commitment, it means commitments rooted in shared expansion and authenticity.

That same day, Mercury in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer, bringing friction between communication and expansion. Mercury governs how we think and speak, while Jupiter amplifies growth, wisdom, and opportunity. In astrology, a square happens when two planets are 90 degrees apart, creating tension that pushes us toward action or growth. Here, conversations may feel bigger than life… optimistic, passionate, or even a little exaggerated. This aspect asks us to balance dreaming big with staying grounded, ensuring words inspire without overpromising.

On October 4th, Pallas stations direct in Aquarius. Pallas is an asteroid connected to wisdom, strategy, creativity, and problem-solving. It often shows us how we use intelligence and intuition to navigate challenges. After months in retrograde (a period when energy turns inward for review and reflection), her shift direct clears mental fog and restores clarity. In Aquarius, the sign of innovation and collective vision, this energy supports fresh perspectives, inventive solutions, and breakthroughs in community or group settings. It’s a moment to step forward with renewed clarity after months of reworking old strategies.

By October 6th, Mercury enters Scorpio, shifting communication into deeper, more transformative terrain. Mercury rules thoughts and words, and Scorpio is the sign of depth, truth, and emotional intensity. Together, they favor intimate conversations, deep research, and uncovering hidden truths. Small talk loses its shine. What matters now are conversations that transform, heal, or reveal. It’s a powerful time to share from a place of raw honesty or to explore subjects that require courage to face.

That same day, we meet the Full Moon in Aries, a fiery culmination of independence, courage, and self-leadership. In astrology, a Full Moon represents a peak moment, when energy builds to completion or revelation. Aries, as the first sign of the zodiac, carries themes of initiation, boldness, and action. This lunation asks us to step into our own power, claim space without apology, and release hesitation. Yet, since Full Moons always highlight duality, the lesson is about balancing Aries’ fiery independence with Libra’s call for harmony and connection. It’s a cosmic reminder that authentic leadership thrives when it honors both self and relationship.

The Moon begins the week in its First Quarter phase on September 29th–30th, a time of action and decision-making. This lunar energy asks us to push past resistance and take the steps needed to align with the intentions we set during the New Moon. Obstacles may appear, but they’re invitations to refine our path rather than abandon it.

From October 1st through 5th, the Moon moves into the Waxing Gibbous phase, a period of refinement, preparation, and building momentum. Here, the seeds of our intentions start to take clearer form, but they may require adjustments, patience, and persistence. Spiritually, this is a time to check in: What’s working? What needs to be released? By staying adaptable, we allow our vision to ripen so that when the Full Moon arrives, we’re ready to witness the results.

The week culminates with the Full Moon in Aries on the 6th, a powerful moment of illumination, action, and personal empowerment. Full Moons are when energy peaks and things come into clarity, making it an ideal time to release what no longer serves you and step boldly into new beginnings. In fiery Aries, this lunation emphasizes courage, independence, and taking decisive action in alignment with your authentic self.

As the Moon builds from First Quarter into Waxing Gibbous and peaking with the Full Moon, the week encourages momentum, reflection, and fine-tuning. It’s a period to honor the steps you’ve already taken, make adjustments where needed, and stay mindful of the energy you’re cultivating.

Lean into: bold honesty, strategic insight, courageous conversations, and embracing independence. This is a week to speak your truth, trust your instincts, and take action on what aligns with your growth.

Avoid: overcommitting, getting lost in emotional exaggeration, superficial thinking, or trying to control outcomes that aren’t yours to manage. Tension may arise, but it’s best used for reflection rather than reaction.

Embody: the siren who is both fearless and discerning. Radiant in her convictions, fluid in her adaptability, and grounded in her inner wisdom. Allow your intuition and intellect to guide your choices, balancing daring action with thoughtful consideration.

This week the Tarot Tide brings, The Hermit. This shines a light on the value of introspection, reflection, and inner guidance. The Hermit calls us to pause, turn inward, and seek clarity from our own wisdom rather than relying solely on external input. With Mercury entering Scorpio and the Full Moon in Aries, the cosmic energy supports deep self-reflection and honest assessment of where your path is leading.

Spiritually, The Hermit reminds us that sometimes the answers we seek are found in quiet moments alone. It’s a week to step back, observe, and connect with your inner compass before making decisions or taking bold action. Trust that your own insight, patience, and discernment will guide you forward with precision and confidence.

This week’s Full Moon in Aries is ideal for letting go of what no longer serves your growth and stepping boldly into new beginnings. Aries energy gives this ritual extra courage and momentum, making it perfect for releasing fears, habits, or patterns that hold you back. Here is a simple yet powerful Full Moon ritual for you to try:

Set the space: Light a candle in a bold color like white, silver, or fiery red to represent courage, transformation, and clarity. Place crystals (like clear quartz or carnelian) nearby, along with a bowl for burning or water to safely release your intentions.

Ground yourself: Take a few deep breaths, feeling your body rooted in the present moment. Acknowledge your power, your emotions, and the energy of release. Imagine the Full Moon’s light filling you with strength and clarity.

Release practice: On a small piece of paper, write down anything you wish to release. This can be fears, limiting beliefs, old habits, or anything holding you back. Hold the paper over the candle’s flame (or fold it and place it in your bowl), visualizing each item dissolving into light and transformation. Speak aloud: “I release what no longer serves me. I step forward with courage and clarity.”

Closing: Safely burn the paper or submerge it in water, imagining the energy being purified and released. Sit quietly for a moment, feeling the shift. As the candle burns out speak this affirmation: “I release the old. I embrace my power. I step boldly into what is next.”

As the Full Moon illuminates Aries and the Moon waxes toward completion, may this week bring you courage, clarity, and the confidence to release what no longer serves you. Remember, transformation is both bold and gentle. It asks for courage, reflection, and intentional action. Trust your inner guidance, honor your power, and step into your truth with purpose.

May your insight deepen, your intentions take root, and your path ahead shine with clarity.

Siren Star Report September 22nd-29th

This week begins with a cosmic crossroads as the Fall Equinox, Mabon, the Sun’s shift into Libra, and Mars’ entry into Scorpio all arrive on September 22nd. It’s a moment of equal light and dark, balance and reckoning, asking us to reflect on what we’ve gathered, what we must release, and how we can step into the next cycle with clarity.

The days ahead amplify this transformative tone. The Sun in Libra challenges Neptune in Aries, stirring questions of truth and illusion, while supportive trines to Uranus and Pluto open doors to breakthroughs and deep renewal. Yet with Mars in Scorpio squaring Pluto, the path forward may not be without friction. Power struggles, shadow work, and intensity rise… but so does the chance for liberation. So let’s dive into it!

The skies this week are layered with both harmony and tension, shaping a landscape of growth and confrontation. On September 22nd, the Sun shifts into Libra, marking the Fall Equinox and the start of a season centered on balance, connection, and clarity in relationships. The Fall Equinox is the moment when day and night are equal in length, symbolizing balance between light and dark. Spiritually, it’s a time to honor the harvest… both literal and metaphorical, and to reflect on what we’ve grown this year. It marks a turning point, inviting us to slow down, seek harmony, and prepare for the introspective months ahead.

That same day, Mars enters Scorpio, intensifying our drive and pulling our energy into deeper, more focused pursuits. Mars here is fearless, unafraid of shadows, and eager to transform what no longer serves. When Mars enters Scorpio, this channels our energy into determination, passion, and transformation. It’s a time when we may feel more focused, intense, and willing to face challenges head-on. While this energy can sometimes be confrontational, it also supports deep healing and powerful breakthroughs.

On September 23rd, the Sun opposes Neptune in Aries, creating a push-pull between idealism and reality. Confusion may rise, but so can inspired visions if we stay grounded. When the Sun opposes Neptune, it can feel like a fog rolls in, blurring clarity and stirring uncertainty. In astrology, an opposition means two planets sit directly across from each other in the zodiac, creating tension that feels like being pulled between two forces. With the Sun and Neptune in this aspect, we may struggle to see things clearly. Torn between reality and fantasy, or between logic and intuition. This aspect isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about learning to trust discernment, grounding visions so they can take shape in the real world.

Luckily, the Sun also forms two empowering trines. The first with Uranus in Gemini and then with Pluto in Aquarius, unlocking opportunities for breakthroughs, authentic connections, and transformative clarity. In astrology, a trine happens when planets are about 120 degrees apart, creating a natural flow of energy between them. It’s considered one of the most harmonious aspects, where opportunities and insights often feel effortless. Trines don’t usually force change the way squares or oppositions do. Instead, they open doors, offering ease, inspiration, and support for growth if we’re willing to step through.

When the Sun trines Uranus in Gemini, our sense of self (the Sun) connects harmoniously with Uranus, the planet of breakthroughs and surprises. This trine can bring sudden clarity, fresh ideas, or unexpected opportunities that feel exciting rather than disruptive. With Uranus in Gemini, these shifts often come through conversations, learning, or flashes of mental inspiration. It’s a cosmic nudge to embrace change with curiosity and see innovation as a pathway to growth.

When the Sun trines Pluto in Aquarius, our personal power and sense of identity (the Sun) connect smoothly with Pluto’s energy of transformation and depth. With Pluto in Aquarius, the focus is on collective growth, innovation, and breaking free from old systems. This transit can feel like a gentle but powerful reminder that true transformation begins within, and that when we align with authenticity, we naturally influence the world around us.

The intensity sharpens again on September 24th, when Mars in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius. This is a powerhouse aspect. One that can trigger conflict, control struggles, or deep emotional eruptions. Yet it’s also the kind of energy that clears out the old with ruthless precision. In astrology, a square happens when two planets are 90 degrees apart, creating tension and friction that pushes us to take action. When the planet of drive and determination (Mars) collides with the planet of power and transformation (Pluto), it can feel intense. Like a battle of wills or an inner struggle between desire and control. While it may stir conflict or emotional pressure, it’s also an invitation to face challenges directly, release what no longer serves, and reclaim personal power in a transformative way. If we stay mindful, this square can be channeled into reclaiming personal power and forging a stronger path ahead.

This week’s moon cycle keeps us firmly in waxing crescent energy from the 22nd through the 28th, before reaching the first quarter on the 29th. The waxing crescent is a time of planting intentions and building momentum. It’s a gentle push forward after the stillness of the new moon. It asks us to commit to our visions with steady action, even if the steps feel small.

By the 29th, the first quarter moon arrives, bringing a natural test of progress. This phase often stirs inner resistance, challenges, or obstacles, but its purpose is to strengthen our resolve. What we adjust now will carry us further into the waxing cycle with greater clarity and confidence.

As the moon waxes, we’re reminded that growth is rarely linear. It’s a dance of small steps, pauses, and recalibrations. This week’s lunar phases encourage us to keep tending our intentions with patience and trust, even when the path feels uneven. With this lunar rhythm as our backdrop, let’s look at the signals the cosmos is sending us about what to lean into, release, and embody.

Lean into: emotional courage, steady progress, deep self-inquiry, honest conversations, and transformative growth.

Avoid: power struggles, control tactics, escapism, and rushing clarity before it’s ready. Tension may rise, but forcing outcomes only deepens resistance.

Embody: the siren who navigates both storm and stillness… fearless in her depth, luminous in her balance, and willing to surrender what must fall away in order to rise renewed.

The Tarot Tide this week brings the Three of Pentacles as a reminder that growth doesn’t happen in isolation, it flourishes in collaboration. This card speaks of teamwork, shared vision, and the beauty of building something greater than yourself through cooperation. In the context of this week’s astrology, it asks us to recognize the value of both our individual strengths and the collective wisdom of those around us.

Where Mars in Scorpio pushes us inward and the Sun in Libra emphasizes balance in relationships, the Three of Pentacles bridges the two. It encourages us to honor our skills while also remaining open to guidance, feedback, and the synergy that comes when different perspectives unite. This is not a week to “go it alone.” Instead, it’s an invitation to build supportive networks, lean into community, and co-create with trust and respect.

✨ For those seeking deeper clarity on how this card reflects your personal path, I offer one-on-one tarot readings that bring these themes into focus for your unique journey. Click here to book your same day Flash Reading!

To honor both the Fall Equinox and the collaborative spirit of the Three of Pentacles, let’s create a simple gratitude circle ritual to welcome the new season. This can be done alone or with others. Here are the steps:

Set the space: Light a candle in autumnal colors (gold, orange, or deep red) to represent the balance of light and dark. Place seasonal items like apples, leaves, or grains on your altar or table as offerings to the season of harvest.

Ground yourself: Take a few deep breaths, feeling your body rooted in the present moment. Acknowledge the equal balance of day and night, honoring both your growth and your shadows.

Gratitude practice: Write down three things you are grateful for from the summer season, and three intentions you wish to nurture as the autumn begins. If you are in a group, take turns sharing aloud, weaving your gratitude and intentions together like threads in a tapestry.

Closing: Offer your gratitude list (or words spoken) to the flame of the candle, either by placing it beneath the candle, burning it safely, or simply holding it close to your heart. Extinguish the candle with the affirmation: “I honor the harvest. I welcome the balance. I plant seeds for what is yet to come.”

As we step into the crisp embrace of autumn and the balance of the equinox, may this week bring you clarity, collaboration, and the steady courage to begin again. Remember, transformation doesn’t always roar… it often whispers through small choices and steady steps. Trust your rhythm, lean into collaboration, and let your intuition guide the way.

May your harvest be abundant, your spirit grounded, and your magic ever-flowing.

Siren Star Report July 29th-Aug 4th 2025

As we move deeper into Leo season, the week begins with Chiron stationing retrograde in Aries, encouraging us to reflect on old wounds with fresh perspective. This isn’t about dwelling in the past, it’s about recognizing how far we’ve come and reclaiming the strength we may have left behind. At the same time, Venus enters Cancer, shifting our focus toward emotional connection, comfort, and the kind of love that feels safe and sincere.

Later in the week, Venus runs into tense aspects with Saturn and Neptune, asking us to face the gap between what we want and what’s possible right now. Emotional needs may clash with boundaries or uncertainty, but clarity arrives through the Sun’s conjunction with Mercury in Leo. This is a moment for honest self-expression and heartfelt truth. The energy this week reminds us that vulnerability and courage are often the same thing.

So let’s dive into the forecast for this week! Chiron Retrograde in Aries (July 26) opens the week with a subtle but powerful call to heal. Chiron's retrograde motion slows things down, encouraging us to revisit personal wounds tied to identity, anger, or independence. If something old flares up emotionally or physically, it’s likely pointing to something unresolved… not to punish, but to invite integration.

What is Chiron? Chiron is known as the “wounded healer” in astrology. It’s an asteroid that represents the places within us where we carry deep wounds, often from early life or ancestral patterns. But it also shows where we have the potential to grow, teach, and heal others through our own experience. Chiron’s transits don’t always hurt, but they do reveal. When retrograde, it encourages inner healing, reflection, and turning compassion inward.

Venus in Cancer (begins July 26) shifts the emotional landscape. Venus in this water sign draws our focus inward toward family, home, roots, and emotional nourishment. You may feel more intuitive in matters of love and money, craving depth over display and safety over sparkle. This can be a sweet, nurturing transit… but this week, it doesn’t arrive alone.

As Venus squares Saturn (July 29), emotional needs may meet resistance or reality checks. This can feel like a "no" where we want a "yes", especially in love, financial matters, or our sense of belonging. Venus squaring Neptune (July 31) may add a foggy layer of confusion or idealism. Together, these aspects caution against ignoring red flags or projecting fantasies onto people or situations. Let clarity come gently, without rushing to conclusions.

What is a Square? In astrology, a square is a 90-degree angle between two planets. It represents tension, challenge, and friction. Squares push us to grow by highlighting internal or external conflicts. They can feel frustrating or uncomfortable, but they often bring the pressure needed to make a change or set a boundary. Think of a square as a turning point that demands action.

In the midst of all this emotional recalibration, the Sun conjunct Mercury in Leo (July 29) offers a burst of heart-centered insight. Expect bold communication, meaningful messages, and a chance to articulate something that’s been stirring beneath the surface. It's an excellent time for creative expression, honest conversations, and tapping into your personal brilliance.

What is a Conjunction? A conjunction happens when two planets meet at the same point in the sky, blending their energies together. This aspect can amplify the traits of both planets, creating a powerful focus in one area of life. Sometimes the planets work in harmony, and other times they can intensify each other in overwhelming ways. But either way, a conjunction signals a moment of activation, clarity, or new beginnings.

This week’s weather asks you to stay present with what you feel and to speak your truth with care.

The Moon grows brighter this week, mirroring our own deepening awareness. We begin under the Waxing Crescent (July 29–31), a time to clarify intentions and nurture the fragile roots of what we’re building. This phase encourages quiet momentum. Taking small steps forward, especially after the emotional insights stirred by Venus and Chiron.

On August 1st, the First Quarter Moon arrives, marking a moment of choice and adjustment. It’s a checkpoint: Are your actions aligned with your desires? Resistance may surface, not as a sign to quit, but as an invitation to re-commit with more clarity, more courage, more heart.

From August 2–4, the Waxing Gibbous Moon pulls us into refinement. This is the phase of preparation before the full moon’s revelations. Polish your plans. Tend to details. Honor the emotions that rise without rushing to fix them. Growth is happening… quietly, steadily, in the in-between.

As the moon waxes and builds momentum, so can we. This week invites intentional growth. Small choices that echo louder than we think. Let the shifting light remind you: you're allowed to expand, even when it feels unfamiliar. Now, let’s get clear on what to lean into, release, and embody as you move through the week ahead.

Lean into: honest reflection, nurturing your emotional boundaries, speaking your inner truth with gentle confidence.

Avoid: slipping into confusion or denial about your feelings, overextending your energy to please others, and resisting necessary healing.

Embody: the siren who navigates her waters with grace… vulnerable yet strong, clear in her voice, and grounded in self-compassion.

The Tarot Tide this week brings out the Queen of Wands. She arrives this week as your radiant guide… a bold and magnetic presence who owns her power with warmth and grace. She blends passion with intuition, courage with compassion, reminding you that true strength comes from embracing your whole self.

This card encourages you to stand confidently in your creativity and leadership, trusting both your instincts and your heart. Whether you’re stepping into a new project, a difficult conversation, or simply claiming your space, the Queen of Wands asks you to lead with authenticity and joy.

At the same time, she reminds you to nurture yourself like the vibrant fire she embodies. Not with force, but with steady, loving energy. Balance ambition with self-care. Your light shines brightest when you honor your needs as fiercely as your desires.

✨ Need guidance on how to channel your inner Queen of Wands? Personal tarot readings can help you align your energy with your goals. Check out my same-day Flash Reading here!

This week, invite your inner fire to burn brighter with a simple yet powerful ritual:

Find a quiet space and light a yellow or orange candle. These colors symbolize creativity and confidence. Take a few deep breaths to ground yourself, then write down an intention or affirmation that reflects how you want to embody your personal power, such as, “I shine with courage and kindness in all I do.” Hold your affirmation in your hands and read it aloud three times, feeling the words resonate deeply within you. Visualize your inner flame growing steady and bright, illuminating your path with warmth and confidence. Keep your written intention somewhere visible to remind you of this commitment, and allow the candle to burn safely as a beacon of your radiant energy.

This week invites you to embrace your inner fire with both strength and tenderness. Remember, true power shines brightest when it’s rooted in self-awareness and care. Trust your voice, honor your boundaries, and let your light lead the way.

May your confidence grow, your heart stay open, and your path be illuminated.
I’ll see you next week under new skies.

Siren Star Report July 21-28th 2025

The tide is turning and this time, it’s on fire. We move from the watery depths of Cancer into the bold blaze of Leo season on July 22, and the sky answers with a burst of energy. This week’s astrology is stacked with movement, revelation, and initiation. You may feel pulled in multiple directions, between the urge to express and the call to transform, between romantic heat and sharp realities, between dreaming big and keeping it real.

The Leo New Moon on July 24 offers a reset point: an invitation to stand fully in your light without apology. It’s a week to step forward with intention, but not without self-awareness. Let your confidence be rooted in truth, not performance. Let your fire be sacred.

Let’s dive into the movements this week! The Sun blazes into Leo on July 22, shifting the collective tone from emotional sensitivity to radiant self-expression. Leo season asks us to take up space, not with ego, but with heart. That same day, the Sun forms a sextile to Uranus in Gemini, sparking flashes of inspiration, originality, and sudden insight. If something clicks this week, trust it. This is universal ignition.

In astrology, a sextile is a 60-degree angle between two planets. It creates a soft, supportive connection where energy flows easily and positively. It’s not as dramatic as a conjunction or opposition, but it opens doors and sparks momentum when you’re willing to act. Think of it as a cosmic “yes”, like a nudge rather than a shove.

But the heat isn’t without friction. On July 23, Venus in Gemini squares Mars in Virgo, stirring tension between charm and precision, desire and detail. Conversations could get spicy or scattered… stay curious instead of combative.

In astrology, a square is a 90-degree angle between two planets. It creates tension, friction, and challenge. Squares often bring growth through discomfort, like pressure that forces transformation. They can stir conflict or internal restlessness, but they also push us to take action, make changes, or confront what we’ve been avoiding. Think of it as a crossroads… not easy, but necessary.

Then comes July 24, a rare day packed with layered aspects:
— Sun trine Saturn: stability, maturity, long-term vision
— Sun trine Neptune: divine creativity, soul downloads, dream energy
— Sun opposite Pluto: power struggles, ego death, transformation

In astrology, a trine is a 120-degree angle between two planets. It’s one of the most harmonious aspects, where energy flows naturally and effortlessly. Trines often bring ease, support, and alignment without the struggle. They highlight talents, soul gifts, and moments of “everything just clicks.” Think of it as a universal blessing… smooth water you can sail through with grace, if you stay present.

In astrology, an opposition is a 180-degree angle between two planets. They stand across from each other like mirrors, creating tension through contrast. Oppositions often bring up power dynamics, projection, or polarities within ourselves or our relationships. They challenge us to find balance and integration, rather than choosing one side over the other. Think of it as a spiritual confrontation… one that invites clarity, transformation, and growth if you’re willing to face it head-on.

It all culminates with a New Moon in Leo, also on July 24! A potent portal for planting bold, heart-centered intentions. You’re being asked to show up for your future self now. The sky is wild, but if you listen to your inner rhythm, you’ll move with grace through the fire.

The week begins in the quiet hush of the waning crescent moon, which is a time to rest, reflect, and retreat. This lunar phase is the exhale before the inhale, the sacred stillness before the spark. Let yourself soften into the unknown. Clarity is coming.

On July 24, the Moon meets the Sun in Leo for a bold, heart-centered New Moon, a portal for renewal, radiance, and creative fire. This lunation invites you to set intentions that are unapologetically you. Think visibility, passion, purpose, and play. The Leo New Moon wants you to lead with your heart, take up space with confidence, and trust your inner light.

After the New Moon, the Moon begins to wax, slowly building energy again. Perfect for gently initiating what you’ve just seeded. It’s not a week to rush, but it is a week to dream boldly and speak clearly about what you want to create.

This is a week to rise… but not recklessly. The universe offers a golden window to set powerful, soul-aligned intentions, but only if you’re willing to get honest first. Leo’s fire asks you to show up, speak out, and create boldly. But Pluto reminds us: true power doesn’t need to shout. It emanates from within.

Let your self-expression be anchored in truth, not ego. Let your desires be devotional, not impulsive. With so many flowing aspects this week, the support is there, but your intention shapes the spell.

Lean into: bold creativity, heart-centered leadership, starting fresh, taking up space with purpose.
Avoid: performative confidence, emotional avoidance, power struggles, perfectionism.
Embody: the siren who sings from her core… ethereal, luminous, and rooted in her own becoming.

The Tarot Tide this week brings the 4 of Swords reversed. Universe is whispering what your spirit already knows: you’re ready to rise, but have you truly rested? There’s a difference between stillness and stagnation and this card is asking you to check in with your nervous system before rushing into motion. You may feel the itch to get moving, to do more, to “start fresh” with this New Moon in Leo. But the message here is: not so fast.

There’s wisdom in the pause. Integration takes time. Healing isn’t weakness, it’s a sacred part of your evolution. Let your movement this week come from a full cup, not from burnout dressed as ambition.

If you’re ready to gently reignite your inner fire without burning out, here’s a simple ritual to guide your renewal:

Light a white or gold candle in a quiet space. Take three deep breaths and ground yourself. Reflect on what parts of you are ready to awaken and which need more rest. Speak aloud: "I honor my need for rest and renewal. I light this flame to guide my path forward… steady, sacred, and sure." Visualize your energy as a calm, steady flame growing brighter without rushing. When complete, snuff out the candle and keep your reflections to revisit through this New Moon cycle.

The fiercest flames burn steady. This week, honor your pace and trust your timing. The magic is in the balance between rest and action, reflection and radiance. Your light is not a burst; it’s a steady glow that guides you through transformation.

Siren Star Report July 14-20th 2025

The tides are shifting as we swim through the final full week of Cancer season, and the waters feel rich with reflection. Emotions rise, memories resurface, and the stars whisper reminders to slow down and listen more closely… to yourself, to others, to what’s been left unsaid. This is a week to soften into your intuition, to let clarity come like driftwood washed ashore, and to prepare for the fire ahead. Let what no longer belongs be pulled gently out to sea.

This week’s skies come with a shift in the current. Mercury stations retrograde in Leo on the 17th, turning up the volume on self-expression, ego, and the stories we tell ourselves. Expect bold miscommunications, dramatic revisits to the past, and divine delays that nudge you toward deeper alignment. The next day, Mercury sextiles Venus in Gemini, offering a sweet window for charm, playfulness, and rewording what once felt too sharp or too soft. Words can be spells… especially now.

In astrology, a retrograde happens when a planet appears to move backward in the sky. It’s a cosmic rewind, urging us to reflect, revise, and return to unfinished business. A sextile, on the other hand, is a gentle, harmonious aspect that forms when two planets are 60 degrees apart. This creates an energetic green light where flow and positive energy naturally align. These transits may seem subtle, but their effects ripple through our thoughts, conversations, and choices in deeply felt ways.

All of this unfolds under the emotional tide of Cancer season’s final act. The cosmos is stirring the waters of nostalgia and self-protection, urging us to revisit what’s in our hearts before the Sun blazes into Leo next week. If it feels like things are shifting beneath the surface, it’s because they are. This week is not about charging ahead, but about listening, revising, and letting the waves rearrange what needs to be rewritten.

The Moon begins the week in her waning gibbous phase (July 14–16), gently pulling us inward after last week’s full moon intensity. This is a time for integration… for harvesting wisdom, tending to what’s been revealed, and letting truth settle into your bones. You may feel reflective, even a little tender. This will be a moment for a sacred pause.

By midweek, she shifts into her waning crescent form (July 17–20), whispering a soft invitation to release. These lunar days are made for rest, ritual, and restoration. It’s perfect for clearing mental clutter, emotional residue, and energetic noise stirred up by Mercury’s retrograde turn. Let yourself unplug, detox, and daydream. This moon wants less doing, more feeling. Let the quieter currents guide you home.

The Moon’s path this week flows through four distinct signs, each adding a unique emotional undercurrent to our days. She begins in dreamy Pisces (July 14–15), heightening sensitivity, intuition, and the desire to drift away from hard edges. Then she blazes through Aries (July 15-16), stirring bold emotions and impulsive urges… especially as Mercury shifts retrograde. Take care not to let fire drown out clarity. By Friday the Moon grounds herself in Taurus (July 18-19), inviting comfort, embodiment, and slow, sensual presence. When she flutters into Gemini (July 20), prepare for curiosity, scattered thoughts, and a desire to communicate… just as Mercury’s retrograde truly begins to work its magic. Track how your moods shift with the Moon; she’s a mirror, not a mystery.

This is not a week to rush. The cosmic currents call for softness, self-reflection, and intuitive recalibration. With Mercury beginning its retrograde in Leo and the Moon waning into her most inward phases, clarity comes not through action, but through listening. Let your heart speak before your mouth does. Let your emotions rise without trying to fix or explain them.

Lean into: rituals of release, quiet confidence, revisiting past creative ideas, reconnecting with your inner voice.
Avoid: forcing conversations, overexplaining yourself, taking emotional bait, rushing to make decisions you’ll have to redo later.
Embody: the siren who sings in silence… powerful, magnetic, and unbothered by the noise on the surface.

The tarot tide this week brings Judgement reversed. It comes as a spiritual echo, a call you may be ignoring, avoiding, or not quite ready to answer. This week asks you to look inward with compassion and honesty. What truths are trying to rise to the surface? What patterns are begging to be released once and for all? You may feel stuck between the past and the future, but this card reminds you: the pause is the power. You are not behind. You are becoming.

With Mercury retrograde and the waning Moon supporting deep inner work, this is a potent time to revisit your personal narrative. Are you living by your own truth or someone else’s expectations? Let go of harsh self-judgment and make space for a softer rebirth.

✨ Need clarity on your personal path? I offer private tarot readings that go deeper into your energy and next aligned steps. Visit my shop for a same-day tarot readings, a mini tarot check-ins, and more!

And if you’re feeling ready to shift something internally this week, here’s a simple ritual to help you reclaim your voice and honor how far you’ve come:

Stand before a mirror with a journal nearby. Light a white candle. Gaze at yourself softly and say aloud: "I release the weight of old judgments. I see myself clearly, and I call back all versions of me with love." Then write a letter to your past self… the one who made the hard decisions, who felt lost, who didn’t know what you know now. Fold it and place it under the candle as it burns down. When complete, bury or burn the letter to seal the spell.

Not every truth arrives with a thunderclap. Some arrive like waves… soft, steady, undeniable. This week, trust the quiet revelations. Trust the pause. Trust that what’s fading is making space for something more aligned to rise.
