February has several planetary aspects that make the beginning of the month feel a bit sedate. The New Moon on February 1 will be conjunct Saturn, so the month starts off feeling a little somber or constrained. Then on February 4th Mercury returns to direct motion while forming a conjunction with Pluto. This will also […]
December ended with Jupiter moving into Pisces. This is a very different energy from Aquarius, an intellectual air sign, because Pisces is a water sign and water signs are dreamers. Jupiter will be in Pisces from January until early May and then again from the end of October until mid-December. During part of this time, […]
December starts out with the companion Solar Eclipse to November’s spectacularly beautiful Lunar Eclipse. And, fortunately, this eclipse has some easier aspects accompanying it. The Sun and Moon will be joined by Mercury in Sagittarius, making the energy of this New Moon more intellectual, curious, and expansive in nature. Sagittarius is a great sign for presenting new ideas to a team, refining your […]
As November begins, the Mars-Pluto 90-degree square aspect is waning. This aspect had a big influence on our psyches in October and increased everyone’s sense of being inundated. However, the reprieve will be short lived. If there is something you really need to get done or a big decision to be made, try to take […]
October begins in much the same way that September ended with a total of 6 planets in retrograde motion! Typically, 2 planets are retrograde at any given time. That means that most of us are born with two retrograde planets in our natal charts. And this provides us with a way to cope with the […]
We transition into September with all the outer planets in retrograde Motion: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Having 5 planets in retrograde at one time is very unusual. But wait, they are joined by Mercury retrograde on September 28th for a total of 6 retrograde planets! This is very, very unusual. All this retrograde […]
We are now in the dog days of summer. Have you ever wondered where that expression came from? It refers to Sirius, a bright star in the constellation Canis Major. This is why Sirius is also known as the Dog Star. In fact, Sirius is one of the brightest stars in sky. In the later […]
Mentally and emotionally, July will exemplify the challenges of re-entering society after weathering the prolonged isolation created by the virus. We begin July with two contrary astrological phenomena that will dominate most of the energy throughout the month. The first is Mars, Saturn and Uranus, all in fixed signs, forming a tight T-square configuration. Mars […]
There will be lots and lots of planetary activity this June. The month starts off with Venus moving into the sign of Cancer and forming a lovely trine to Jupiter in Pisces. For those who have found being at home these last few months pleasant, that energy will continue at the beginning of June. This […]
May starts with the Sun conjunct Uranus and ends with a Full Moon eclipse and Mercury Retrograde. In other words, expect the unexpected this month. It will be very important to stay grounded in May because the air will sizzle with electricity. Uranus conjunct the Sun makes for a lot of excitement, as well as […]
