Happy Yom Kippur on October 4. The meaning behind this holiday is that it is a day of atonement. This is a perfect week for this as transit Pluto, retrograde since April 29, finally goes direct on Saturday October 8. When Pluto goes direct each year along with the days preceding it, we face choices […]

Yesterday’s New Moon in Libra at 3˚ positions us in that part of the year in which collaborations are on the horizon. Perhaps this is because winter is coming in the northern hemisphere requiring more collaboration for survival. As Mercury is still retrograde there is still much back and forth and an inability to decide […]

Everyone complains about Mercury retrogrades and this week is no exception. The common view is that these are indeed troubled times. However, this Mercury retrograde in Virgo is bearing some fruit as it is in a positive aspect to Uranus in Taurus and when it goes direct in early October will be in a positive […]

This week the Sun just sent a lovely aspect to Uranus. This often injects positive energy into any situation, where anything will seem possible. It is even a bit giddy. It is an optimistic aspect pushing you forward and staying on track with the ‘sorting out’ theme of last week. Take advantage of the work […]

America’s Labor Day falls on Monday, September 5, the last of the summer holidays. Labor is defined as toiling, working hard, and making earnest effort. This holiday honors those who continue to do this so that the entire system doesn’t collapse. I find it interesting in that it always falls during the time that the […]

The next few days feel as though you are being pushed in a new direction. Thursday’s Mars sextile Jupiter brings a great aspect that continues this positive energy for the next few weeks. Positive actions can lead to positive results which may include remuneration, support you never expected, and/or the moment in which you ‘see’ […]

The week begins with the Sun entering tropical Virgo for four weeks. Interesting fact, the constellation of Virgo is one of the largest constellations in the sky. Virgo hearkens back to all the mother goddesses like Kwan Yin, Black Madonna, Mary, Jesus’ mother, you name it. This is also the time of year in the […]

Yesterday’s opposition between the Sun and Saturn presents two different approaches this week. The first and more challenging of the two is having had an experience during this time of being criticized unfairly. These days, it is true, many criticisms people express are out of anger and frustration and just plain bullying, but…other criticisms can […]

On Monday, Venus is opposite Pluto. Oppositions can cause strain between two opposing value systems. Not trusting another or not giving those we love enough space sometimes happens. Space is sometimes needed during this aspect and those with individual control issues can learn the most from this aspect. The positive manifestation of this opposition pushes […]

Last week’s New Moon (new beginnings) in Leo wishes for more fun or enjoyment and how to express ourselves more creatively. Leo is the sign of the gambler and the speculator. The markets have been awry for months now – which is not a surprise. Interest rates have risen after a prolonged period of overly […]
