Horoscope and Astrology with Nellie McKinley

By Nellie McKinley

LEO

(JUL 24 – AUG 23) There will be a shift in your professional career. Keep close to your former colleagues, as they can be an asset in the future. “Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water”. Saturn will oppose your sign until 2023, so there are many lessons to be learned. The challenge will be to stay positive and patient, as you await success and achievement.

VIRGO

(AUG 24 – SEP 23) Some highs and lows in your working life, while it may not be your first priority, you are in a learning curve which will give harness all of your skills. It is important to prioritise what makes you happy and fulfilled especially for Virgos who are an employer’s dream. Don’t be taken advantage of. Your focus will be on a new health regime, spending quality time with family and even the appearance of a soul mate.

LIBRA

(SEP 24 – 0CT 23) Think outside the square to promote yourself. You are in a transformative cycle, so don’t get stuck in the old routine but manifest what truly excites you and elevates you to the position you want. Many Librans will be drawn to the arts and will engage more with like-minded people.

SCORPIO

(OCT 24 – NOV 22) No time to compromise and to feel obligated in your relationships. Don’t feel duty bound but be assertive in your dealings with others. A great time to be challenged, so take up a new course of study or hobby that engages you with the passion that Scorpios desire.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV 23 – DEC 21) It’s a healing time with family. Allow others the space to be their own person. The impetus to give opinions and psychological insights need to be curbed, as others need to learn from their own mistakes. Your curious mind will be open to learn new things and the Archer needs to focus his arrow on health and their physical regime.

CAPRICORN

(DEC 22 – JAN 20) The goat will have the desire to cull some friendships that no longer serve them. Choices will be highlighted as to whom you want to spend the time with and the people who support you. Uranus will urge you to break free from conventional modes of operandum. Pluto has had a very transformative affect on your sign, so much regeneration has taken place.

AQUARIUS

(JAN 21- FEB 19) Take control of your relationship and establish some boundaries. You don’t need to be all things to everyone, so don’t be afraid to speak up. Luck will be on your side with Jupiter transiting your sign, so you will be able to manifest your deepest desires.

PISCES

(FEB 20 – MAR 20) Prioritise what needs your time rather than scattering your energies. Neptune will continue to inspire your creative and artistic talents, which will promote your self-esteem and confidence. Your career may even be spotlighted and bring you to new heights.

ARIES

(MAR 21 – APR 20) Look for new ideas and projects that excite and challenge you. You need to act on the important issues and not to become distracted. Fiery Aries will enjoy the passion that the next cycle brings. You will be stirred by the variety and excitement that life can offer you now compared to the restricted cycle your have felt.

TAURUS

(APR 21 – MAY 21) Romance takes priority during the next few months. Give plenty of time to your relationships. Uranus in the sign of Taurus will create many exciting adventures and challenges, both personally and professionally. Expect the unexpected.

GEMINI

(MAY 22 – JUN 21) Communication is highlighted Geminis, so be direct and honest in your dealings. In the process you need to confront peacefully and diplomatically and allow others to have their opinions. Be guided by your intuition and let go of things that do not serve you well. Destiny is beckoning.

CANCER

(JUN 22 – JUL 23) Sensitive crabs need to realise that conflict with others is not of their making. Focus on creating stability in your professional and person life and the next few months will see you feel more liberated. You will gain momentum in the next few months focusing on your own needs rather than by being weighed down by the dilemmas of others.

The ASTROLOGICAL PATHWAY IS UNFOLDING

The dynamic events of 2020 have now led us into a new chapter on all fronts, including politically, healthwise and the global economic picture. Lessons are unfolding.

We are now in a transformative era, like we have never seen before in our lifetimes, or indeed in the history of the modern world.

I think most astrologers would agree, we are in the Age of Aquarius which embodies the egalitarian, the equality, the humanitarian, and the freethought characteristics. Now, and it is a BIG now, we are in the mode of choosing our own reality. The dismantling of structures and hierarchies that we have witnessed globally, and in Australia have been oppressive and dictatorial. We can now align ourselves with our own truths and beliefs and creates a wonderful opportunity to free ourselves from past constraints. Already the Aquarian energy has seen a change in our working environments where we have moved from working in the traditional office to home based environments.

This has created greater flexibility, and has improved our performance, output, productivity and really is the opportunity for a personal awakening like never before.

The significant astrological players for the next couple of years will be Saturn and Uranus.

Saturn has to do with structure, order and systems and Uranus wants to bring down the old and bring in the new.

The defining aspect of Uranus and Saturn, an event which only occurs every 22 years will see cracks in our foundations with the inclusions of more technological advancements and breakthroughs. This can also herald a time of real awakening. The challenge is to find the balance of what to keep what supports us and jettison the systems that are no longer personally useful. Most of us will be desirous of change and want to break free from what was felt as one of the most oppressive years in recent history. During the great depression of 1929, we also had similar planetary aspects, so it would be important to look back at history and reflect on how we could do better.

Uranus desires progress but needs to tear down old structures first therein lies the conflict with Saturn who is bound by tradition and limitations. Planetary cycles assist us in navigating our lives with hopefully the best outcomes. What is important is to remember that it is up to us individually to create an authentic and meaningful change for our futures. Our astrological transits are actually only signposts which guide us – it is up to us individually to create the best possible outcome for ourselves to navigate the ups and downs of life. As the famous playwright and thinker William Shakespeare once said, “The fault dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves that we are underlings”. Ultimately the outcome of our lives is based on our own actions with the guidance of our astrological cycles.
