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 […]

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.

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 […]
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.
