Plan to hit the ground running in early 2024. When Mercury goes direct on January 2nd we have to opportunity to move into the new year with energy. And after Uranus goes direct on January 27th, we have two whole months without any retrograde planets. It will be full steam ahead. If you are […]
New Year’s Resolutions After the Summer Solstice we begin to gradually move towards the shortest and darkest day of the year on the Winter Solstice. On the evening or early morning of the Winter Solstice we begin to shift back to increasing the light every day until we again celebrate the Summer Solstice. In ancient […]
The first week of November is very active, astrologically speaking. The Sun, Mars, and Mercury will be in 180-degree oppositions to Jupiter and Uranus. This represents disruptions, often of a financial nature. And, at the rate Congress is going, it may represent either the impending government shutdown or some very harsh negotiations around the Federal […]
Last month I mentioned that Mars was up to mischief making hard aspects to the outer planets Uranus and Pluto. This continues through the middle of October. And could trigger impulsive or angry behavior. I also see it playing out as reckless driving. In addition, the month also begins with Mercury and Neptune in a […]
The Autumn Equinox is on September 22, a few days before the Harvest Moon on September 29. The Equinox does not track the lunar cycles, although the Harvest Moon typically occurs near the Equinox. Instead, the Equinox occurs when the Sun’s center crosses the celestial equator, which is an imaginary extension of the Earth’s equator […]
We have a Blue Moon in August. The first of the two Full Moons in August Falls on August 1. This will feel very intense because Pluto will be conjunct this Full Moon, amplifying emotions and causing some soul searching. Because these two are also forming a challenging 90-degree square to the lunar nodes, we […]
July starts out on July 3rd with a very pleasant full moon trine to Uranus, which can be construed as good luck. This aspect outweighs the full moon opposition to Mercury, an aspect that could generate some high emotions. Saturn will come to Mercury’s rescue with an easy 120-degree trine aspect that will settle things […]
Except for the retrograde movement of Pluto back into Capricorn, June is dominated by forward moving planets that are eager to get back on track and forge ahead. We could all get some momentum going in June. This is a great time to finish up a lingering project that got shelved during Mercury retrograde or […]
May isn’t going to all light and airy and sunny weather. It is actually going to be a rather emotionally intense month! The month starts out with a Full Moon Lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May 5th. This eclipse is within orb to make a conjunction with the South Node. Scorpio energy is intense, regardless. […]
With Mars, Saturn, and Pluto all changing signs in March many of us may still be feeling unsettled. After all, humans tend to resist change and this kind of planetary activity tends to usher in a lot of change on every level—materially, mental/emotionally, and spiritually. From my perspective, we are being presented with a lot […]
