A friend of mine posted a funny meme on her Instagram that said something like this: “The holidays are stressful because it is suddenly freezing outside, and you have 35 deadlines due within three weeks and everyone is panicking, and it’s dark all the time.” This pretty much sums up the energy of the separating […]
The imaginative, creative energy of October’s New Moon Solar Eclipse on October 25th follows us into early November. The dreamy energy continues through most of the month while Jupiter and Neptune remain in a conjunct aspect in Pisces. Nevertheless, I recommend an abundance of caution because Mars is forming a difficult 90-degree square aspect with […]
October is not a particularly exciting month, but it will be an intense one. To begin with, Mercury, as well as all five outer planets, will be in retrograde. Progress cannot be made quickly under this influence. When Mercury goes direct on October 3, we may start to feel a little more freed up. But […]
September begins with all five outer planets in retrograde. Usually there are two to 3 three planets in retrograde, so five retrograde planets is a highly unusual occurrence. This energy may feel more difficult to make progress with open projects. Having five planets in retrograde will hopefully make September a somewhat calmer, more introspective month […]
At the end of July, Mars formed a conjunct aspect to Uranus in Taurus and this aspect will continue through the first half of August. In the middle of the month, the Sun will join this combustible combination by forming a 90-degree square aspect to both Mars and Uranus. Saturn will oppose the Sun and […]
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 […]
