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 fulfill a special mission in this lifetime, you might feel a strong sense of purpose and events over the course of your life will feel more predestined.

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.

Well, on the new moon in Cancer this Wednesday, we have at least two Yods in that chart, which is rare, especially on a new moon! To me, this suggests 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 you will feel a restlessness to complete something that’s been niggling away at you for a long time.

Add a once a once-a-year Jupiter/sun conjunction to the mix this week, bringing luck and expansion somewhere in our charts, especially if it’s aspecting any of your natal planets, and well... we have quite a week in the cosmos!

Mercury also moves into Leo this week until the beginning of September. This can encourage us to be more confident and expressive, however, expect 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 – roaaarrrr!

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