A twist of Fate

In astrology, if you have a rare aspect pattern called a 'Yod' in your chart, it is said you are here to fulfil a special mission in this lifetime. You may feel a strong sense of purpose, and events throughout your life will seem more predetermined.

Another way to describe this pattern is the 'finger of fate' or 'the finger of God', where 3 (more if conjunct) planets form an isosceles triangle with the 'apex' planet being the planet that gives us clues as to what it is you're here to do.

Famous people with a yod in their chart include Princess Diana and Picasso.

On the new moon in Cancer this Wednesday, there are at least two Yods in the chart, which is rare, especially on a new moon. This suggests to me that it will be a trigger point, a new beginning where fate seems to step in somehow for a lot of us.

You might feel compelled to suddenly change the trajectory you were on or there will be a restlessness to complete something thats been niggling away at you for a long time.

Add into the mix the once yearly Jupiter/sun conjunction happening this week, and you can expect luck/ expansion somewhere in your chart, especially if it’s aspecting any of your natal planets, and well... we have quite a week ahead in the cosmos!

Mercury also moves into Leo this week and stays there until the beginning of September which can encourage us to be more confident and expressive. However, expect to experience more ego-driven, self-centeredness and people voicing their opinions more than usual! In fact there’s a whole lot of Mercury energy going on this week, so things could get very, very loud!

It might be a good week to shut out all the noise and find your calm.
