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 […]
As November begins, the Mars-Pluto 90-degree square aspect is waning. This aspect had a big influence on our psyches in October and increased everyone’s sense of being inundated. However, the reprieve will be short lived. If there is something you really need to get done or a big decision to be made, try to take […]
October begins in much the same way that September ended with a total of 6 planets in retrograde motion! Typically, 2 planets are retrograde at any given time. That means that most of us are born with two retrograde planets in our natal charts. And this provides us with a way to cope with the […]
We transition into September with all the outer planets in retrograde Motion: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Having 5 planets in retrograde at one time is very unusual. But wait, they are joined by Mercury retrograde on September 28th for a total of 6 retrograde planets! This is very, very unusual. All this retrograde […]
