Venus Retrograde in Leo, New Moon in Cancer, and the Astrology for the Week | S2 Ep 22

07/17/23 • 21 min

This is going to be a bit of an emotional week.
The Astrology of the Week encourages us to get in touch with our emotional side, whether it be deep-seated feelings we need to revisit or re-evaluate.
You've probably heard about Mercury Retrograde, but we have something a little more rare. The planet of love and abundance, Venus is in Retrograde. It encourages us to re-evaluate, really explore our deepest values, and realign with our authentic selves.

Aside from Venus going Retrograde this week, we have Chiron also going Retrograde. This can re-open some old, deep wounds. On the one hand, it can get very emotional, on the other hand, this is an opportunity to heal and grow from those emotions.
On top of that Mars and Saturn are clashing.
Mars represents taking action and Saturn is all about structure, stability, discipline, and being patient.
Try to find a balance that suits everyone. This is all about channeling your energies wisely.

This week, we also have New Moon in the sign of Cancer, another zodiac sign that is known for being deeply emotional and sentimental. The New moon is the best time to set your intentions.
This week is a good time to:

Set intentions
practice self-compassion and self-care
re-evaluate our relationships with other people and ourselves
revisit your artistic self

If you are a part of the Mainly Moonology Membership, our Monthly Meditation is happening on July 28, 5 pm UK time.
This week can feel like a rollercoaster ride. The Astrology earlier this year has been tough for most of us, luckily, the rest of the year promises an easier time. I am hosting a FREE workshop, RECLAIM 2023 live, virtual workshop; to work with the astrology in the second half of the year which opens us all up to repair and reset. This live and exclusive virtual event is free for Moonology Diary / Moonology Desk Calendar customers.

Medicine and Psychedelics in Healing with Dr. Beth DuPree | S2 Ep 21

What happens when medicine and healing come together?
How do you heal at the soul level?
My guest on the show this week, Dr Beth DuPree is at the cutting edge of this.

Dr. Beth DuPree is a board-certified general surgeon specialising in diseases of the breast. She is also a Healer and a master-level Reiki practitioner.
In this episode, we talk about the importance of treating the physical body AND the spiritual body and how healing is all connected.
She also speaks about how treating diseases including chronic conditions is not just about treating the physical symptoms. We tackle how:

Stimulating the vagus nerve and breathwork can be a powerful source of Healing.
Integrating healing therapies including yoga, meditation, life coaching, and even grief counseling is part of
Assisted use of psychedelics can be therapeutic and the difference between taking it recreationally and doing it under the supervision of a licensed medical practitioner.
We are at the cusp of discovering how psychedelics can be used outside of just post-cancer care to help the body reach homeostasis and how research is important to prove the efficacy of these treatments to extend the reach of the science to a larger population outside of cancer care.

Beth beautifully integrates the use of medical and spiritual practices, as she puts it "are all tools in our toolbox" that we can use to heal the body and the mind.

Over the past few decades, there has been a growing interest in the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, such as psilocybin (found in certain species of mushrooms) and MDMA (commonly known as ecstasy). Numerous studies have shown promising results in treating mental health conditions like depression, PTSD, and addiction.

Certain regions have already taken steps toward decriminalising or legalising psychedelics for therapeutic purposes. For example, in 2020, the state of Oregon in the United States passed Measure 109, which allows for the regulated use of psilocybin-assisted therapy. Other jurisdictions, such as Canada and some European countries, have approved or are exploring similar initiatives.
Dr. Beth is giving out 5 FREE copies of her book The Healing Consciousness: A Doctors Journey to Healing on Audible in the UK now available in Audible.

The Astrology of the Week: Get Heard, Get Organised! | S2 Ep 23

This is a week of big opportunities as it opens up a chance to have important conversations and get your life organised.
At the beginning of the week, Mercury, the planet of Communications is meeting the planet of love, Venus, which is currently Retrograde.
Wherever you have Mercury in your chart is how this week's Astrology might affect you. Mercury moving into the Zodiac Sign Leo. This is a good chance to speak with confidence. This is a great time to think like a superstar!
We all have Leo in our chart and that's where we'll feel the effects of this alignment. If you don't know where Leo is in your chart head on to moonmessages.com/freechart to find out which house you have Leo in.
Venus Retrograde is all about re-evaluating anything and everything. And with the Mercury-Venus connection this week, now is the time to talk about it.
After Mercury moves into Leo, Mercury will be moving into Virgo by July 28 and will be an entirely different energy.
If Mercury in Leo is more about being fabulous, Mercury in Virgo is humble and chaste and organised.
Start organising your thoughts, the energy that Mercury in Virgo brings will
make paying attention to detail a lot easier.
While Mercury is in Virgo, it is a good time to:

-create timetables
-get organised!
-it's the time to get your head in order
-practice mindfulness to stay present and avoid overthinking
-avoid unnecessary stress
-Pay extra attention to your well-being

Venus is all about love and abundance and when it goes backward, it's about connecting to the past, maybe reconnecting with an ex for closure or second chances. I wrote an article about Venus Retrograde in the Daily Mail and talked about second chances.
This Venus Retrograde is a good time to:

-cultivate self-love. If you doubt yourself too much, it's hard to be a good manifestor.
-engage in activities that nurture your self-worth
-explore old creative outlets you loved

Also on the Astrology this week, the North node has moved into Aries and the South node is now in Libra. It is a good time to:

-embrace your courage
-step out of co-dependence
-find a balance between our independence and the need for harmonious relationships

On top of that, we are getting the Quarter Moon in Scorpio. This is the time to really think about your goals and how well are you working to get towards goals and the wishes you made during the New Moon. Scorpio calls for emotional introspection and it is a good time to dive deep into those feelings and acknowledge emotional blocks. And we know emotional blocks keep us from moving forward
Some of the ways to work with these blocks are:
