✨ Astral Weather
Moon: Waning in Pisces
Transits:
• Venus conjunct Neptune in Pisces – the dreamy, dissolving heart
• Mercury Retrograde in Aries – the warrior rethinks his wordsPortal Opening: Solar Eclipse in Aries this Saturday
Cosmic Shift Incoming: Neptune enters Aries on Sunday for the first time since 1862
🌟 Collective Message
The veils are thin today.
With the Moon waning in Pisces and Venus conjoined with Neptune, we drift in a sea of feeling—tender, intuitive, and a little undone. This is not a day for hard decisions. It is a day to dream gently, to grieve softly, to float in the in-between.
Mercury retrograde in Aries stirs old words, missed messages, and misfires of the tongue. But instead of charging forward, sit with it. Let silence speak. Let the ocean of the sky rewrite the script.
💫 Ritual of the Day
Take a warm bath or foot soak with Epsom salts, lavender, and blue lotus flowers. As you soak, whisper forgiveness—to yourself, to someone else, to the past. Let the water take it. Let your breath bless it. Let your tears be holy.
🪐 Affirmation
I am dissolving before I am reborn. I let it happen.
💎 Crystal of the Day
Labradorite – For intuition, mysticism, and protection during deep inner journeys.
Keep it near your throat or third eye today to anchor yourself in truth while you drift.
🌿 Botanical Ally
Blue Lotus – Dreamy, otherworldly, and gently euphoric. Sip as a tea, use as an anointing oil, or place dried petals on your altar to enhance intuition and access higher wisdom.
🎴 Card of the Day
The High Priestess – Element: Water • Planet: The Moon • Significance: Intuition, Mystery, Inner Knowing
📝 Journal Prompt
“What am I ready to release before this eclipse rebirths me?”
Where am I holding onto illusions, and what would it feel like to let go—even if I don’t know what comes next?

A Message from Nick Lasky
Nick explores the connection between the dramatic events unfolding around us—like the fires in Los Angeles, the water crisis in Richmond, VA—and the cosmic energies influencing our world. Using astrology as a lens, he touches on transformative power of the Pluto-Mars opposition, the challenges of Mars retrograde in Cancer, and the evolutionary call of the North Node in Aries.
A blend of astrological insights, reflections on current events, and practical ways to navigate these intense times are included. Themes of transformation, emotional healing, and how to find stability amidst uncertainty. This is a space for community, support, and aligning with the cosmic flow to create meaningful change.
Whether you're looking for clarity, inspiration, or guidance, we invite you to reflect, connect, and move forward—together.
