April will be a somewhat intense month. Until Pluto turns retrograde late in the month, there are no retrograde planets to slow us down. However, transiting Pluto is still closely opposing (a 180 degree aspect) the USA’s natal Mercury and forming a conjunction (a zero to 10 degree aspect) with natal Pluto. Since Mercury rules […]
On February 19th the Sun moved into Pisces. Pisces is a mutable water sign that corresponds with late winter and the first signs of spring. This is usually a time of year with much promise and much that is still coming into fruition. The direct motion of Mercury on February 21st initiates the process of […]
For me, the New Year really started with the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius on the Winter Solstice (December 21, 2020). This was an event that hasn’t happened in 800 years and the conjunction was so bright and easily seen with the naked eye that many were calling it the Christmas Star and […]
I grew up hearing about and anticipating the Age of Aquarius. But for 12 years I have been writing about the meaning of Pluto in Capricorn and the transiting aspects it has made between Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. There were two reasons for this. The first reason is that long outer planet transits point to […]
As a country, we’ve been experiencing the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in opposition to the USA’s natal Mercury for a while now and I have spoken extensively about this difficult aspect. Then Jupiter changed signs last December and quickly moved into a three-planet conjunction with Saturn and Pluto, putting additional strain on the USA’s […]
Batten down the hatches because 2020 is ramping up with some intense planetary action. Pluto in Capricorn will continue to make very challenging aspects to the natal chart of the United States through 2023. At that point Pluto moves into Aquarius and we might finally be able to collectively exhale, but probably not before then. […]
Now is the time to get our houses in order and clear out our minds and hearts. Many of us began doing this a while back. However, this is where the rubber meets the road, as the saying goes. What we have done so far will be put to the test. We are all going […]
This month I want to make everyone aware of some planetary trends that will be playing out over a longer arch of time that I usually write about in my quarterly report. I feel that these planetary aspects could greatly affect the economy and social mood of the country in the coming months. Transits by […]
March ended with Mercury in retrograde motion (looking like it is moving backwards in the sky relative to the Earth). This creates a cycle of reviewing those things from the past that need to be re-examined. In addition, on March 18th Mars moved into Capricorn. Mars will conjuncts Pluto at 21 degrees of Capricorn on […]
This year is going to be very dynamic, to say the least. January starts out with a Supermoon Full moon on January 1st, all the planets in direct motion by January 3rd (until March 8th!), a stellium of 6 planets in Capricorn on January 15th and 16th (extremely rare), a new moon on January 16th […]
