In September, eclipse season returns. This Is not atypical for September. Ancient people were very superstitious about eclipses. They viewed them as symbols of the heavens’ or gods’ displeasure and were thought to be signs of impending punishment. Historically, September is both hurricane season and one of the worst performing months for the stock market. […]
The biggest relief of the month will be when Mercury goes direct on August 11. Not soon enough for many, I imagine! It was so disruptive that most of us missed the USA’s Jupiter return in Cancer in July. Ordinarily, I’d be hard pressed to say that there are any bad Jupiter aspects. But the […]
June ended with Mars in Aries in a 90-degree square aspect to Pluto. The few days around June 29 to July 6 or so could be energetically intense and highly productive, as if a fire was lit. And with only three outer planets retrograde in July, you won’t have to work around a bottleneck of […]
On May 25, Mars changed signs and joined Jupiter in Aries. This conjunction creates a huge sense of acceleration to the energy around us. And it can cause some inner tension due to deadline and other pressures. As soon as Mercury goes direct on June 4, we can really push forward into action again and […]
April ended with a solar eclipse at 10 degrees of Taurus that made a tight conjunction to both the Sun and transiting Uranus. I think most of us have had enough of unexpected plot twists, but this is the kind of aspect that prompts more change, as well as innovation. If there is something in […]
Today I am going to start with a summary of the planetary energy for April. Then I am going to shift direction and discuss current events in Ukraine. So, as April begins, the Full Moon will be conjunct Mercury. Any unsettled emotions that were left over from March could feel amplified again. In the early […]
Venus and Mars, our inner Yin and Yang, will be traveling side by side (in a conjunction) throughout March. This usually makes for some very pleasant energy. However, these two companions will encounter challenging aspects from some outer planet ”biggies” all month. This could be disruptive to our sense of tranquility. March begins with the […]
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 […]
