Today is Labor Day. Each year I try to honor those who are workers and this year is more important as all our service, front line, first response teams have given so much so that many of us can literally live through this pandemic. I cannot even imagine what their lives are like with families […]

Making the right choices is always a challenge. When Venus is opposite Pluto, we deal with this. Oppositions are as far apart in a circle that two planets can get, 180◦. After that, the distance reduces as does the stress of the opposition often feels like a Full Moon pulling us in two different directions. […]

Mars is still direct and today, Monday, August 24, as Saturn joins the current cycles, it asks us to wait a minute. It asks us to stop, think, and ask questions. Sometimes we stuck with Saturn. If stuck, step away. There has been a compulsive obsessive need to get things done during these last weeks […]

Tuesday August 18, we have a New Moon (new beginnings) at 27◦ Leo. That New Moon is still working beautifully with Mars in Aries, allowing a few more days before Mars goes retrograde on September 9. There is support between Venus, the planet of relationship working with Neptune. A little romance always helps ease the […]

Usually Full Moon weeks are a little chaotic, but that was last week and is bleeding over into this week. We have several volatile distances between planets begging for something to happen, to change, and for new information. It is a week of extreme responses — again — more lessons on thinking before we act […]

The Sun is in Leo now and in the last 24 hours was pushing on volatile Uranus, the planet of revolution or upheaval. Since that just happened today, Monday August 3, there is also a Full Moon close to this configuration, so things can get volatile. People get angry or reactive because they feel deep […]

The week begins with transiting Jupiter (good fortune and protection) in a lovely aspect to Neptune, which has much to do with spiritual insight and imagination. I love imagination, it is the ‘thing’ that takes us out of ourselves when our real lives begin to feel limited like now. Sometimes we must move outside ourselves […]

The week begins with the Sun opposite Saturn (a focus transit). Its effects last for one or two days. We can get things done on Sun/Saturn aspects because we focus and don’t allow distractions to get us sidetracked. Since the Sun is still in watery Cancer, the emotionality of these last few weeks along with […]

The big news this week is that Mercury is finally direct. Because Mercury is direct and is the planet of communication, ideas have been tossed about in these last weeks. This may be a week where those ideas bear fruit. Decisions are being made over the course of the next six weeks as planets are […]

On July 11 Chiron goes retrograde at 9º Aries 26′. And on July 12, Mercury goes direct at 5º Cancer 29′ This is a week when one might make decisions about ongoing health issues that need to be addressed and have been ignored. Chiron is associated with learning, teaching, coaching but it is also considered […]
