🔮 Weekly Astrology Forecast | June 17–23, 2024

⛈️Theme of the Week: Precision Through the Storm ☔️

This week is wild but in the best way. It’s full of revelations and realignments. With solar flares firing up the energy, Mars shifting into Virgo, and the Summer Solstice illuminating your path, things are cracking wide open.

Now’s the time to get clear on what you truly want. Take aligned action, even if it’s just one small step. Momentum starts with movement. If the world feels like it’s spinning too fast, you’re not wrong. But here's your anchor ⚓️:

“If you're seeing or hearing things you thought could never happen — go do the impossible in your life.”

This is the week to stop doomscrolling and start tending to your timeline.

🧠 Global 🌎Anxieties: The Pressure Is Real

There’s a lot of background noise right now — politically, energetically, spiritually. You’re not imagining the overwhelm. From wars and weather extremes to collective burnout, everything feels turned up.

In one of my recent blogs, I mentioned that now is a great time to pick up a hobby or find something that brings you peace. You know, just in case the internet goes out, the power cuts, or everything hits at once. Having something to ground you matters more than ever.

People ask, "Will I be okay?" My honest answer — of course you will, especially if you're staying prepared, keeping your hands busy, doing small acts of kindness, and sharing what you know. Teach a friend a skill. Start a hobby that can be passed down. Those little things? They create connection, resilience, and a sense of purpose.

Why keep ourselves distracted? Because the things I’m suggesting aren’t just time-fillers. They’re healthy, stimulating, and essential for the brain, which is a muscle that needs to stay active.

Learning new skills, even small ones, builds resilience. It’s survival knowledge in disguise. Take knitting, for example. It might seem like a cozy hobby, but some quilts made during the Underground Railroad used stitching patterns to map escape routes.

Braiding hair wasn’t just cultural either. Enslaved people would braid seeds into their hair, hiding them for the journey ahead so they could grow food when they reached safety.

What looks like a simple craft can be a quiet rebellion. A form of resistance. A way to remember, preserve, and protect.

Keeping yourself busy in a productive way also helps you step back from constantly watching the news. We have to be careful about the kind of information we let in. Honestly, having the news on repeat can be so damaging. It spikes your heart rate, stirs up anxiety, and keeps you stuck in fear.

The news is designed to trigger fear and panic. And fear? Panic? They won’t protect you. They’ll only wear you down and cloud your judgment.

In a past post, I shared photos and slides of bug-out bag essentials — just in case you ever need to leave where you’re staying. I don’t post these things to scare you. I share them to prepare you.

In my predictions blog, I said this week would bring talk of WW3. And here we are. It’s Monday, and Israel and Iran are deep in conflict while the US is being pulled in.

Sometimes it’s eerie how accurate the astrology lines up.

If you know a good astrologer, hold on to what they say. I recommend writing down what I’m sharing, because these are my notes and interpretations based on Laurie Rivers’ original predictions. I just put them in my own words to make them easier to absorb.

This is all about awareness, not fear. Stay grounded. Stay ready.

Predicted energy patterns include:

• Conflict in the Middle East (Iran/Israel) or GCC territories

• Explosions, fires, or toxic events (especially near water or energy sites)

• Leadership health issues (someone prominent could step down or pass)

• Power outages, tech crashes, system malfunctions (This would be from the solar flares or perhaps something else. Keep all electronics charged and have a backup battery bank just in case. Candles from the $1 store are your best friend; make sure to grab some.

• Food supply chain disruptions, especially crops or exports (Garden, if you haven’t started already, I planted my garden because I saw the astrology coming in and knew it was time)

• Energy spikes from solar flare activity 

You don’t have to carry it all. Stay informed, yes, but stay in your lane. Your peace matters more than the noise.

Turn inward, focus on what’s actually in your control, and let the rest go. 🍃

Reading posts like this helps you stay in the know without spiraling. Just try not to doom-scroll or obsess over the headlines — I know it’s tempting, especially with everything going on. But your energy is better spent grounded, not overloaded.

Repeat it when you wake up, when you check your phone. When you forget who the f*ck you are!!!!!!

🔥 Predictions for the Week: What’s Likely to Hit the Headlines

A LOT is stirring beneath the surface this week — and I mean everything. Global headlines are heating up, the Earth’s crust is grumbling, and political chaos is brewing like a storm. Cosmically, it’s no coincidence. The Moon is gliding through emotionally raw and electrically wired signs, stirring up deep waves within us. Add a spike in solar flare activity, and it’s like the universe turned the volume all the way up. We're not just feeling the energy — we're being saturated by it.

.

Here’s what you need to keep an eye on:

⚠️ Major Global + Political Predictions

• Electrical storms, lightning surges, tornadoes, or hail — especially early in the week (June 17–18), across the U.S. and the Gulf Coast.

• Military activity increases — something may force the U.S. to act, even if it's reactive. Be mindful of misleading news.

• Missile launches, drone strikes, and bombings are possible in conflict zones like the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and coastal Asia.

• Public violence or mass casualty event (shooting, bombing, or attack) could happen in a major U.S. city — energy is peaking around June 18–20. Dont not live your life and stay inside. Again, just be aware and vigilant.

• Tension between Israel and Iran is far from over — expect a flare-up or escalation.

• Cyber warfare, sabotage, or system crashes — data, networks, or power grids may go down temporarily.

• Keep an eye out for Washington DC and London, those look like hot spots for attacks.

• A large number of planes ✈️have been spotted flying to Europe, more planes than usual.

• Iran has told us to "watch what happens tonight" Sidenote: whoever is running Iran's Twitter account is having a great time. It's making me laugh. But that "haha that's a good one, " and slowly turns the other way

  Whoever is running Iran's Twitter account is having a great time, even making me laugh. That 😆 that's a good one, and 😬slowly turns the other way. Insert Homer Simpson meme.

🌊 Earth, Ocean & Weather Events

• Possible earthquake or tsunami-level wave activity — especially off the West Coast or in the Pacific “Ring of Fire” zone (Asia/South America).

• Big storm surge with flooding and winds — likely affecting Southeast U.S. (watch the Gulf Coast closely). Hurricane, Typhoon, LOTS of water

• Geothermal or volcanic activity, especially near coastal or island nations.

• Explosions or major fire events — multiple possible (late week, June 22–23).

• Livestock or farming news, including crop supply chain issues or major contamination reports.

🌐 International Hotspots to Watch

• DC, New York, or Houston may be in the news — possibly due to an event, attack, or mass gathering incident.

• Taiwan, the South Pacific, and naval zones could see conflict, military games, or maritime accidents.

• Eastern Europe (Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Ukraine) — potential military tension or terrorist acts.

• Iran & Turkey may increase involvement or initiate new tensions.

• NATO, the UN, or international agencies could be under major pressure or facing a crisis.

🧨 Notable People in the Headlines

• Donald Trump – facing a possible legal challenge or a health concern.

• Elon Musk – could face a crisis, legal drama, or health issue, and possible deportation.

• A religious or political leader could be exposed, accused, or challenged publicly.

• Celebrity death - head injury.

These predictions are not to scare you — they’re to help you stay informed, intuitive, and centered. If the world feels like it’s on edge, it’s because it is. But you? You’ve got your altar, your rituals, your tools, and your discernment.

⚡ Solar Flares + Nervous System Care

This week’s solar activity is intense. Flares are already underway and peaking midweek, which may feel like:

• 🤯 Head pressure, fatigue, dizziness

• 🧠 Brain fog, overstimulation, anxiety

• 🔋 Sudden energy surges then crashes

• 👾 Tech glitches, GPS errors, communication issues

🔥 Solar Flare Peak Days:

🗓️ Tuesday, June 18 – Energy starts to ramp up. Light symptoms may begin. 

🗓️ Wednesday, June 19 – Peak day. Most intense solar energy. 

🗓️ Thursday, June 20 – Solstice + lingering flare radiation = buzzed out energy 

🗓️ Friday, June 21 – Nervous system hangover. Deep emotional processing.

How to Ground It:

• Salt baths

• Wear a head covering outside (especially for empaths)

• Hold Black Tourmaline or Smoky Quartz to your chest

• Lay down flat on the floor to reset your energy

• Nap, rest, or go outside barefoot — let your body recalibrate

♍ Mars in Virgo – Tuesday, June 17

Mars enters Virgo and shifts us into full-on get-it-together mode. This isn’t a chaotic hustle. This is focused, practical momentum. Mars in Virgo wants action that actually leads somewhere. If things in your life feel scattered or disorganized, this transit gives you the clarity and motivation to start fixing them one step at a time. It's not about being perfect. It's about getting the important stuff done.

This energy supports:

• Daily routines - The things you do now will help or won't help with your future. Again this is the energy of getting your shit together. Dont be perfect about it, but just get what needs to be done, done

• Health cleanups - start taking your health seriously! If you’ve been holding off on that appointment, it's time to make that appointment!! You can see in September if your health isn't taken seriously now, you could end up dealing with the consequences in September

• Decluttering - purge, clean, get rid of what you no longer need

• Creating systems that support your long-term goals, your firm foundation

But it can also crank up: Virgo ♍️ Energy

• Self-criticism

• Obsessing over control or “doing it right”

• Nitpicking yourself or others

Use this transit to organize your life without micromanaging your soul. With Mars, the planet of action, and Virgo, the sign of organization, can you see why this is an issue? DO NOT try to be perfect, just handle it and get it done

🌞 Summer Solstice Energy 20th

 

This isn’t just about the sun staying out longer. It’s a soul checkpoint. The Summer Solstice marks a shift toward deeper emotional intelligence, creative renewal, and realignment with your purpose.

✨ Cancer season begins on the 20th. 📌 We will be creating vision boards with our hands (preferably not on your phone). That's where perfectionism comes in. We want to be intentional and use tangible objects that can feel our energy and intention  🕯️ Set your altar. Light a candle. Speak your future out loud.

DONT WORRY:

I already have a detailed Summer Solstice ritual for you to use! I may go live on Friday and do the ritual with all of you!

🔮 Tarot Card of the Week: The Chariot

This card is your call to move with purpose. The Chariot says: Take the wheel. The world may feel chaotic, but you’ve got a path — stay focused. Avoid emotional detours, outside drama, or panic. Instead, move with clarity and intention.

In my other blog, I shared photos of essential bug-out bag items. If you panic-buy or rush unprepared, you risk losing control of your chariot. Slow, thoughtful action is the way forward.

This week carries creative energy — use it. Whether it’s learning something new, grounding yourself in old traditions, or starting a personal project, channel that energy productively.

You may feel pulled in different directions. Let that contrast bring clarity. Stay connected to your “why.” You don’t need every answer, but you do need to stay in the driver’s seat. Move with steady momentum — that’s what The Chariot is all about.
