The Astro Psyche – Détails, épisodes et analyse

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 September 2nd - 8th brings opportunities for beginning fresh with intention. We have a New Moon in Virgo happening on Monday 9/2 at 6:55pm Pacific Time at about 11 degrees of Virgo. This symbolizes a rebirth around ritual, routine, ideal images of self & other, and basically asks: why are you doing what you're doing? How does the now inform the future? Also this week, Mars in Gemini will square Neptune in Pisces to show how we can move in the flow and still get where we're going. Shortly after, Mars moves into Cancer on Wednesday 9/4. This is a shift where our capacity for action, assertiveness, and being direct (or not) becomes incredibly informed by emotions. Also this week, Mercury in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus to show flashes of insight, new info coming to you rapidly, or diverging from your norm. Mercury then moves into Virgo on Sunday 9/8 - this marks a shift to more focused thinking and you may feel that you're able to move forward after a lot of contemplation or uncertainty in August. Overall, this week is a new beginning and emphasizes how you find purpose and meaning in your life right now. Happy New Moon! 🦋

This week's astrology of August 19th - 25th brings a Full Moon in Aquarius on Monday 8/19 at 11:26am Pacific Time, which correlates to a culmination around your process of becoming, independence, autonomy, and social connections. Also this week, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus will continue to make their aspect called a t-square, which illustrates an apex of themes around expansion-contraction, morals, duties, responsibilities, and how you want to take actions around these themes. Finally, the Sun moves into Virgo to show a conscious focus on intentionality, healing, purposefulness, values, routines & rituals, grounding into the meaning of your life. Wishing you a most easeful and enjoyable week ahead 🦋

This week's astrology of August 26th - September 1st brings several astrological signatures involving Venus: the symbol of relationships, beauty, attraction, flow states, and values. Venus in Virgo will trine Uranus and oppose Neptune - this shows potential for confronting illusions or ideas which then brings sparks of new insights. After that, Venus moves into Libra on Thursday 8/29 and will be there until 9/23. Venus in Libra shifts our relational focus from intentionality and purposefulness (Virgo) to diplomacy, justice, and finding balance (Libra). Once in Libra, Venus will trine Pluto in Aquarius to correlate with experiences we may find healing via exposure of unconscious patterns. Also this week, Mercury stations direct at 21 degrees of Leo on Wednesday 8/28. This marks a transition point of our reflection process that began when Mercury stationed retrograde on 8/4. It's a time to reflect on what you've been changing in your life (or wanting to change) and why. Finally, a collective transit happens this week: Pluto moves into Capricorn on Sunday 9/1 and will be there thru 11/19/2024. This brings us back to the themes of Pluto in Capricorn from 2008 - 2023. Pluto will only be in Capricorn briefly and will move into Aquarius in November 2024 and be there until 2043. These next few months we may connect with the finality of collective experiences that have happened from 2008 to now. Overall, this week emphasizes the multidimensional components of relationship, how you want, what you want, and a potential for healing via your experiences in relationships. I'm wishing you ease, healing, and insight this week 🦋

This week's astrology of June 24th - 30th brings opportunities to think thoroughly, deeply, and long-term about situations that have been on your mind for a while. Mercury in Cancer will make a helpful trine to Saturn in Pisces - this symbolizes a concentrated mind with the capacity to think through your responsibilities, commitments, and relationship to time. Mercury will also square Chiron in Aries, invoking awareness around experiences of helping, healing, and how you sacrifice your life force to help others (consciously or unconsciously). We also have the Last Quarter Moon in Aries which symbolizes an emotional tone of releasing and letting go. Finally, Saturn will station retrograde this week at 19 degrees of Pisces and appear to move backward through the zodiac to 12 degrees of Pisces until November 2024. This retrograde process symbolizes a psychological process of working through responsibilities, limitations, or hardships that came up this past March - May 2024...but from a different perspective. Overall, this week there's a lot to think about and it may feel like a mental-emotional-spiritual sorting through - especially around your limits, responsibilities, and commitments. Wishing you a most easeful and healing week 🦋

This week's astrology of June 17th - 23rd brings the beginning of Cancer season with the Sun moving into Cancer on Thursday 6/20 to mark the solstice.

This week's astrology of June 10th - 16th helps us cultivate a flexible state of mind with several dynamic transits. Mars in Taurus continues to square Pluto in Aquarius, symbolizing the exposure of our desire to act directly and decisively.

This configuration is emphasized by the First Quarter Moon in Virgo on Thursday 6/13, by asking: how can you take a purposeful and empowering approach to what's happening right now. Finally, Venus in Gemini makes a square to Neptune in Pisces, which illuminates the possibility for illusions or a blurring of focus. With this transit it's helpful to remember that you're always in process - there may be inner negotiations of where you are now and where you think you should be. Overall, this week may have you moving in many directions and it's helpful to look at things from multiple perspectives with a flexible state of mind. Wishing you a most easeful and healing week 🦋

This week's astrology of May 27th - June 2nd continues our experience of the curious and questioning style of Gemini season with Sun-Venus-Jupiter still freshly in Gemini.

Finally, Jupiter in Gemini will make a helpful trine to Pluto which supports your expanding your capacity for depth and intensity of experience. Wishing you a most easeful week 🦋

This week's astrology of May 13th – 19th brings opportunities to connect with your true self. This involves the Sun making a conjunction to Uranus and then Jupiter in Taurus to symbolize moving against conventional rules or social norms. Venus will also conjunct Uranus this week, emphasizing the relational element of this phenomenon. It’s a time where you are discovering more about what it means to be authentic with yourself (Sun-Uranus) and with others (Venus-Uranus). Also this week, the First Quarter Moon in Leo brings an added layer of emphasis around the polarity of self-expression vs. performance. At this point in the monthly lunar cycle, you may be questioning how to move forward in your life based on your priorities vs. the expectations of others. Finally, Mercury moves into Taurus and will square Pluto in Aquarius – this transit is an opportunity to think deeply and discover hidden truths or treasures you may not have realized up to this point. This week, remember that unmasking the true self is a continued process over the lifetime. Thank you for being exactly who you are right now. Wishing you a lovely week 🦋

This week's astrology of May 6th – 12th brings opportunities to ground our recent revelations into practical lived experience. The New Moon in Taurus symbolizes embodied living and practical development of a new insight to grow over time. This particular New Moon may also involve themes around healing, relationships, feminine issues, sexuality, values, self-esteem, and finances because it is nearby Venus in Taurus. This New Moon also activates the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction of insights, change, and recent enlightening experiences. Also this week, Mercury (the conscious & analytical mind) will conjunct Chiron (healing, mentorship, gifts & skills) to symbolize a realization of your gifts and skills – both the beauty and joy as well as challenges or prohibitions around your abilities. Happy New Moon and wishing you an easeful week 🦋
