star signs

Hey, star crossed Starling, I’m writing two weekly horoscopes for you, so we’ve got both hemispheres covered. Both are relevant astrologically! Catch the cosmic tea here:

⭐️ Northern: GLAMOUR MAGAZINE it’s cosmic here

⭐️ Southern: NEWS.COM.AU here

Today’s new moon in Leo packed a jack in the box punch to get you out of the box! In a tense square to cosmic shock jock Uranus, you need to budge on something you’ve been resisting or be pushed out of your comfort zone. What is it you need to integrate? Opposit Saturn, suggests

“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” Andy Warhol – Classic Leo

Set your intentions around all things confidence, leadership, and like classic Leo Madonna says,

“Express yourself don’t repress yourself

Commit to shining every damn day like the sun, you don’t need a reason, explanation or excuse to be here and do you thang.

BONUS — Let’s take a look at this week

Mercury makes a move: Mercury moves into Virgo 

Mercury joins Venus and Mars in the quiet and diligent sign of Virgo on Thursday. This prequel to Virgo season refines the edges of Leo, perfecting and preening the glamorous starlet or heroic vibe. With an exacting eye on detail, ask ‘is it worth it, before using your time and energy on any particular pursuit. If you’ve already found yourself in early spring clean mode, don’t panic, all is as it should be. If you see a better way of doing something or have a critique to share, ask if it’s ready to be received first to avoid a classic Virgo pitfall.

Are you thinking big enough?
Jupiter could have us thinking big and overshooting the mark. Make the most of inspiration and the opportunity to expand your horizons while doing your due diligence before taking action or sharing your hot-take.
If you find yourself monologuing while your audience creeps away, you know you’re doing it wrong; ask questions, and listen. (Goddess knows we’ve all been there lately!)

Fire and air signs, take your ideas seriously, remember there’s always more to learn, make space for new knowledge. Water and earth signs, take your time with it and take the opportunity to open up your perspective.

It’s just a phase: This week’s Moons
Since last Saturday was host to a new moon in proud Leo, the lunar cycle is in the new to quarter waxing phase this week. Take your bright idea, your intentions or plan, and get behind it with action steps before refining next week.

Is this the real thing? Is this just fantasy? Venus opposes Neptune
Venus is a relational planet covering many things, including love and beauty. Neptune is the timeless mystic (and romantic) representing the doorway to direct luminal experience or a beautiful illusion; usually, it’s a bit of both.

The aspect they form this week suggests you enjoy a mirage for all its worth, but don’t’ be disappointed by the fantasy. Think of it like looking into a magical mirror where you can see whatever you want.

Indulge in the arts, beauty and perhaps an ideal without expecting someone else to ever live up to your idea of perfection. We’re all human and doing our best after all.
