I’ve jammed, like a copier, between foresight and tact.

This week is massively influential in the scope of the year. I had hoped that I would have had the forecast for it posted and up by the morning of Sunday, June 8. However, the time came and went with me still working on the interpretation, struggling to make it true and helpful in navigating the real-time events of the transits.

But now, I think I would like to pause. This week is huge, it is massive. But I didn’t get the interpretations out ahead of time, and now I am under the influence of these transits, and I would prefer to be able to take a back seat now and ride the waves of the weather rather than forecast what is coming. It is Tuesday morning. The full moon exacts in 19 hours.

I am overwhelmed with the words I have written in my forecast, and don’t feel dispositioned, at the moment, to edit. I also don’t feel I have the bandwith to interpret the remaining transits for the week I have not yet recorded. I am under this astrology, now.

So I want to re-ground into why I am writing these horoscopes, now, as part of my process. I want to clarify what my intentions are in this process of writing these forecasts.

These forecasts are for me, primarily. These weeklies are supposed to be where I interpret all the transits and essentially write my chunk of copy that I can then turn into social media posts of various types throughout the week. Writing these weeklies is the time for me to actually sit down and look at the astrology ahead, and predict what is coming.

Now, I traditionally am not one for prediction, which is exactly why I am doing this. I have struggled to get oriented with time. My astrology services have primarily focused on understanding of the data in the birth chart— but not so successful in actually looking ahead at the astrology to understand specifically for myself and for my clients what it means, and what it will do to us. I can look back fine, but looking forward is where I need to grow. This is true in my life in almost every way. On many interweaving personal and professional levels, I struggle with time management.

So astrologically speaking, these horoscopes are the container for me to learn the skill of foresight, of planning.

Let’s go back to me not traditionally being one for prediction. There are many important ethical issues to consider when predicting astrological weather. Particularly when interpreting mundane astrology. Those who don’t understand astrology can interpret forecasts as a claim of pre-destination, of causation. They may not understand that free will is an important part of astrology. That these are guesses about where the energy is going to go, what we may see manifest this week, where we can offer resistance and insert our free will to influence earthly events.

But the thing is that like I said, I am now in the astrology of the week, and yes, it is popping off.

I don’t really want to be talking about the astrology, this week. I want to be talking about the events. So I’m going to call it for this weeks horoscope and go back to living.

Because this is what I do when I am writing a horoscope: I don’t read or listen to the weekly forecasts of other astrologers in the community. My following is not large— I am not writing for you, at this time, I am writing for me. I am posting my hypothesis, developed under independent study, for me to then compare and contrast with the forecasts of other astrologers as well as the events of the week. I am developing my voice, the accuracy of my weather prediction.

But today, I am aware of my need to develop more tact.

So, the forecast isn’t coming out this week the way it normally has. I don’t know if I’ll post it. I do know I have lots of writing I want to use— there is so much there, but like I said, I don’t feel equipped to edit at this time. And I don’t want to fear-monger. I don’t want to say what isn’t necessary. But I know it can be helpful to some. So we’ll see. Maybe I’ll post it all at the end of the week. Maybe I’ll turn the copy into social posts instead. Maybe I’ll just chill and be here. Idk. It’s a lot. It’s all a lot.

Much love. Take care of each other.
