Tis the Season... Almost ;)

The holiday season is a great time to get that special person in your life the gift of "me time". A gift card is also a great way to recommend my business to a new client. Send it to them immediately or schedule it to send the day of celebration.

Don't forget about you!

My schedule fills up fast this time of year - my recommendation is to always have your next two appointments booked. This ensure you have your preferred time and day reserved. Even better? Set up a recurring appointment and the system does the rebooking for you automatically.

Astrology of the Week

Cosmic Highlights

Sun in Libra / Sun-Neptune Opposition
As the Sun continues in Libra, themes of balance, harmony, partnership, and diplomacy are emphasized. But there’s also a tension: the Sun opposes Neptune retrograde, which can cast illusions, confusion, or unclear motivations — especially in relationships. Watch for what’s real vs. what’s idealized.

Mars / Pluto Dynamics
Mars forming a square with Pluto (especially with Pluto retrograde) intensifies the energy. Expect deeper confrontations, power dynamics, shadow work, and emotional undercurrents surfacing. Use this as a chance to purge what no longer serves you.

Lunar / Moon Rhythms
The Moon moves through Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces over the week. This progression invites structure and discipline (Capricorn), then detachment and broader vision (Aquarius), and finally intuition, dreams, and surrender (Pisces).

Eclipse Aftermath
We’re still under the influence of the recent eclipse cycles. Some things may feel like they’re “in transition”—old endings, shifting foundations, breakthroughs in subtle ways.

What To Do

Pause before making big relational or financial moves — what feels urgent might be clouded by Neptune’s influence.

Dive into your shadows: allow deep introspection, journaling, therapy, or inner work. The Mars-Pluto aspect can help you see what hides beneath.

Lean into discernment in partnerships — communicate your boundaries clearly and look for authenticity.

Use the Moon’s phases: early week (Capricorn) for planning and structure, midweek (Aquarius) to view challenges from a wider lens, late week (Pisces) to rest, dream, and let intuition guide.

Be gentle with your expectations — things may unfold in slower, subtler ways than you hope.

What To Avoid

Misunderstandings, especially in emotional or relationship interactions (Neptune’s fog + oppositions).

Power plays or hidden tensions rising to the surface. Use awareness rather than force.

Impulsive decisions made in a reactive state — wait until the fog clears.

Overcommitting or trying to be everything to everyone.

Tarot Reading for the Week

Card 1: Overall Energy – The Sun ☀️

This week brings joy, clarity, and vitality. The Sun shines a light on areas of your life that have felt confusing or stagnant, helping you see things more clearly. It’s a time of renewed confidence and optimism. There may even be moments of celebration, breakthroughs, or positive recognition.

Message: Step into visibility. Let yourself be seen and appreciated.

Keywords: success, joy, truth revealed, growth.

Card 2: Challenge – Nine of Swords 🌒

While the energy is bright, there may be inner anxieties or fears surfacing. The Nine of Swords suggests mental stress—perhaps overthinking, guilt, or fear of worst-case scenarios. This could manifest as restless nights or a tendency to spiral into "what-ifs."

Message: Your mind might be your biggest obstacle this week. Pause, breathe, and separate fear from fact.

Keywords: anxiety, fear, illusion, mental overwhelm.

Card 3: Guidance – Two of Wands 🔥

The Two of Wands is about strategic planning and forward thinking. This is a week to look ahead and make bold decisions, even if you don’t have every detail figured out yet. Consider where you want to be in six months and take one solid step toward that vision.

Message: Progress comes from courage and vision—don’t stay stuck in the comfort zone.

Keywords: choice, expansion, growth, action.

Card 4: Outcome – The Chariot 🏹

By week’s end, you gain momentum and focus. The Chariot confirms that success comes through determination and emotional mastery. Even if challenges arise, you have the ability to steer events in your favor by staying disciplined and aligned with your goals.

Message: You are in control of the direction of your life—drive with purpose.

Keywords: willpower, victory, focus, balance.

Recharge Your Body

With Autumn fast approaching it will become very easy to let self-care fall to the wayside. Make scheduling time for yourself a priority by booking your next appointment.

Did you know you can set up a standing appointment? If you have a specific time and day you prefer for your appointments and want to ensure you always secure that time slot, we can make that happen. Worried you may have to change your appointment from time to time? No sweat, individual appointments can still be modified if need be.

Astrology of the Week

Cosmic Highlights

Mars enters Scorpio (≈ Sept 22): This brings more intensity, emotional depth, and focus. You may feel more driven, especially about what you care about deeply. Useful for digging into things that require courage or transformation.

Sun enters Libra (Autumnal Equinox ≈ Sept 23): Balance, relationships, and fairness come into sharper relief. It's a time to recalibrate how you relate to others, bring more harmony, form partnerships, and restore equilibrium.

Eclipse aftermath + Retrogrades still in motion: The recent Virgo-Pisces eclipses and several outer planet retrogrades mean some of what’s unfolding now was seeded earlier and may be delayed. Reflection, letting go, re-adjustments are still part of the process.

What To Do

Use the Mars-in-Scorpio energy to go deeper: journal, confront fears, heal old wounds.

Work on balancing relationships now — diplomacy, listening, fairness.

With eclipses recent, spend time reviewing: what you committed to, what needs release, what patterns recur.

Practice healthy boundary work: in love, work, and with your own expectations.

What To Avoid

Avoid letting intensity become obsession. Watch out for power struggles or controlling behavior.

Be cautious of indecision or trying to please everyone. Libra energy can swing toward passivity or overcompromise.

Don’t force progress; let things evolve. Trying to push too hard against retrograde energies or unresolved issues can cause friction.

Some emotional volatility is likely — especially around the 23-25 timeframe. Be gentle with yourself and others.

Tarot Reading for the Week

Card 1: Theme of the Week – Wheel of Fortune

This week is all about shifts in fate and cycles turning. Expect sudden changes, surprises, or “full-circle” moments. Something you’ve been waiting on could finally move forward—or an unexpected twist may redirect your path. The Wheel reminds you that nothing stays the same, so be open to both endings and beginnings.

Keywords: change, destiny, luck, cycles.

Card 2: Challenge – Seven of Cups

The challenge is overwhelm and indecision. With many options on the table, it can be easy to get lost in illusions or what-ifs. This card warns against escapism or wishful thinking—focus on clarity and discernment. Take time to separate what’s real and sustainable from what’s just fantasy.

Keywords: confusion, choices, distractions, clarity needed.

Card 3: Advice / Outcome – Queen of Swords

The Queen of Swords urges you to lead with logic and direct communication. She’s here to cut through the fog of the Seven of Cups with honesty and clear boundaries. Be decisive, speak your truth, and don’t let emotions cloud your judgment. This is a week to strategize and act with precision, especially in work or relationships.

Keywords: wisdom, boundaries, truth, focus.

Astrology of the Week

Cosmic Highlights

Mercury enters Libra on Thursday, Sept 18. This shift encourages diplomacy, balance, peace-making, and focused communication. Ideal time to negotiate, resolve conflicts, or engage in partnerships.

Venus moves into Virgo starting Friday, Sept 19 and stays for a few weeks. The energy becomes more grounded, modest, practical. You might feel less about grand gestures and more about meaningful detail, sincerity, humility.

Weekend of September 20 brings a Venus-Uranus square — expect some surprises or disruptions in relationships, finances, or in areas where you want comfort, predictability. Might feel exciting or unsettling. Best to stay flexible.

Key Advice for All Signs

Thursday-Friday: Lean into diplomacy and detail work as Mercury and Venus shift signs.

Weekend: Expect some shake-ups in love, money, or comfort zones due to the Venus-Uranus square.

Best Practices: Stay flexible, focus on small practical improvements, and don’t rush decisions.

Tarot Reading for the Week

Card 1: Theme of the Week – The Star

This week carries healing and clarity. There’s a sense of renewal after confusion or emotional heaviness. The Star reminds you to trust the bigger picture, even if progress feels slow. This is a week to focus on self-care, inspiration, and alignment with your long-term goals. Think of it as a cosmic green light to reconnect with your purpose.

Keywords: hope, inspiration, healing, vision.

Card 2: Challenge – Five of Pentacles

The challenge this week lies in scarcity thinking or feelings of being unsupported. This could show up as financial stress, self-doubt, or fear of failure. Be mindful not to isolate yourself—ask for help or resources when needed. The Five of Pentacles is also a reminder that sometimes the hardest moments are temporary.

Keywords: hardship, insecurity, isolation, mindset shift.

Card 3: Advice/Outcome – Knight of Wands

The best way to move forward is with bold action. The Knight of Wands encourages you to take initiative, pursue opportunities, and lean into passion projects. Even if things aren’t perfect, momentum matters more than perfection this week. This card also hints at unexpected adventures or invitations—say yes to what excites you.

Keywords: courage, passion, action, risk-taking.

What’s that?! Saturday openings?

Due to some last minute reschedules I have to some rare Saturday availability this week. Snag it while you can.

Fall Is Coming…

A friendly reminder as fall and the holiday season approaches, my schedule tends to book up much faster than in the summer time. If you’re desired appointment time is late after/evening or Friday/Saturday you should plan accordingly. Those time slots can sometimes be booked out 4-6 weeks.

Planning ahead is always the best choice!

I am for ever grateful for my clients. I try my very best to keep healthy so I don’t have to reschedule anyone, but we’re only human 🫠

My clients are always understanding and I appreciate that a ton.

As the weather cools down and we get closer to cold and flu season, remember to listen to your body and take care of yourself. If you’re feeling under the weather it’s usually best to reschedule an appointment’s you have booked and come in when you’re feeling better.

Just a heads up...

September has started and the price increase mentioned last month has taken effect. If you have an appointment already booked you may recieve an email regarding updates made to your appointment. This is due to having to manual go in and change each appointment to the new pricing. You may also notice a change in name for the service you chose - this is not a change to the chosen services itself.

If you have any questions please reach out!

Thanks for your continued support,

Aaron Malec
