In A Funk? You're Not Alone! Let's Shake It Off!
A client messaged me yesterday and said, “So many people are saying they are in a funk.”
Immediately, I thought: “HEARD.”
In fact, I didn’t create a YouTube video for you this week because my own funk has been so righteous! Are you feeling it too?
Then she said, “I’m curious what’s going on astrologically this week.”
She is on point because just in the last week, we had several planets change signs.
Both Venus and Mars have moved from fun-loving Leo into practical Virgo (critical, much?) and Jupiter moved from peaceful Pisces back into intellectual Aquarius for the remainder of the year.
If you found yourself feeling irritated, angry, or short-tempered, that’s probably because the Moon was in Aries for 2.5 days this week (the Moon moves through Aries once every month).
On the other hand, the Moon in Aries can also bring an influx of energy and passion, but I didn’t hear that’s how folks experienced this week, unfortunately!
So yes, there was a lot of planetary movement. Depending on how energetically sensitive you are — and how the planets are affecting your personal horoscope — your system may have been disrupted by the shift and is now working to integrate the new energies.
The Moon just moved into sultry Taurus Friday through Sunday, so that will help us relax and ease into it. (Click here to learn more about Taurus energy on my YouTube channel!)
But, let’s look toward the remedy, shall we? Since I’m trying to keep this simple, I can’t go into all the details now, but I will share a few important nuggets that I know will assist you.
First and foremost: Let’s get down with what the planets are reflecting back to us! Rather than allowing Funky Freddie to stick around as an unwelcome houseguest, let’s kindly show him the door by sticking to the cosmic agenda. ;)
More than anything, Virgo wants HEALTHY FUNCTION.
My lovely friend, now is the time to look at the details of your life and reassess what needs your attention. That could be anything from attending to your health, making time for regular housekeeping (or to hire someone like I just did!), or finally organizing your office.
Since Venus is now in Virgo, there will be added focus on being practical and having healthy relationships and finances.

Thankfully, Mars is also in Virgo for about two months, so his attention is laser-focused. He will give you the “oompah” (is that how you spell it?!) to get everything in order.
My second bit of advice is that you dance it out.
Yes, dance! If you know me well then you know I am a dance machine.
But even if dancing just “isn’t your thing,” I encourage you to embrace the Leo energy (thank the stars, the Sun is in entertaining Leo for the next few weeks).
Leo loves to PLAY.
So let’s shake off all that Aquarian nervousness and frenetic over-thinking with a little dance party.
Which leads to my parting gift to you: a short but curated (read: listen in order) playlist.
You can access it on Spotify or via these YouTube links:
Embrace the Aquarian need for freedom with “DANCE” by DNCE so that you can
Give Funky Freddie the boot with, “Feel the Way I Want” from Caroline Rose.
Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off,” because … well … duh. ;)
Finally, I encourage you to “raise up” with a little soul (pun intended). The most excellent remedy for the moment’s malaise is definitely James Brown’s “People Get Up and Drive Your Funky Soul.”
I mean, he calls out each zodiac sign by name too, so you know … ;)
Let’s give a big “all praises!” to the Leo energy that all these musicians embody when performing their music.
Be well my friend!
xo,

P.S. Now is the perfect time to schedule a consultation with yours truly, because I can bring insight and clarity to how you're experiencing this influx of energy and the sectors of life that are activated!
