Winter Solstice is the culmination of the increasing night before the dawning of the light that will lead us back to Summer Solstice. It's where the SUN stands still for 3 days, and we assess our journey, contemplating how we will use the next half year cycle. It's the beginning of the CAPRICORN season, which is associated with the earth element, and the direction north. Here at the bottom of the year in the North, is where we can ground into the supportive physical wisdom of

December 6 at 11:21 pm PT is our last New MOON of 2018. It's new at 15 degrees SAGITTARIUS, close to JUPITER, tightly square to MARS and NEPTUNE in PISCES. SAG is our archetypal jaunty, vagabond-explorer who throws caution to the wind in search of adventure and fun. The SAG part of us needs excitement and meaning in our lives. It has the positive radiance of fire and the variable impulsivity of its mutable nature. SAGITTARIANS are incredibly charismatic and talented and hilar

The MOON is New on November 7 at 8:02am, West Coast time at 15 degrees SCORPIO, which makes it not only our New MOON, but also Lunar Halloween. We are still in SCORPIO time, which has been a colossal theme all year since JUPITER entered SCORPIO last October, but the dial has been turned way up to high since VENUS entered SCORPIO on September 9, and went retrograde on October 5. Now, we are about to have some massive shifts in the themes and tone of life. First off, this New

On October 26, Venus reaches the midpoint of her medicine journey. This takes place at 3 degrees SCORPIO as she conjuncts the heart of the SUN. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is A YOUTH HOLDING A LIGHTED CANDLE IN A DEVOTIONAL RITUAL GAINS A SENSE OF THE GREAT ‘OTHER WORLD’. This is the power of SCORPIO, sounding the depths with emotional echo-location, in the direction of healing and growth.

We have a NEW MOON in LIBRA on October 8 at 8:47pm PDT, at 15 degrees LIBRA, making significant contacts to Neptune and stationing PLUTO. NEW MOON in LIBRA October 8, 2018 8:47pm San Francisco, Ca VENUS, our lady of love and resources, has just stationed retrograde at 10 degrees SCORPIO on October 5. With VENUS ruling this NEW MOON, all signs point to this newly underway retrograde. It doesn't leave its station degree until October 12 meaning that this archetype is beaming do

The Harvest Moon of 2018 falls on September 24, PDT at 7:52pm and happens just 49 hours after the Autumnal Equinox on September 22. Can you say portal? Equinoxes are places of both endings and beginnings. We end the dominance of light and day and begin the dominance of night at this gateway in the North, and its reversal in the South. This is the place where Demeter's daughter Kore, out gathering flowers in the field becomes Persephone as she begins her annual journey to be w

The Moon was new on September 9 at 17 degrees Virgo, which happened in conjunction with the Sun's annual opposition to Neptune, currently in Pisces, its home sign. This continued the theme of the last Full Moon in Pisces. To review: Virgo is the energy of dedicated focused and efficient work on the earth plane in order to better and improve things, to make everything function as optimally as possible. Virgo is the archetype of human intervention, as a part of God's plan. Nept

Once a year we get a Full Moon like no other: Pisces! Whenever you find a Pisces Moon in life, it is the sweetest, silliest, most mystical, and empathic Moon there is. If you know any one born under a Pisces Moon, you know what I am talking about. This Moon loves everyone and is impossible not to love in return. She is full at 3 degrees Pisces on August 26 at 4:45am PT/7:45am ET. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and is said to contain all of the other signs as it has liv

What is a New Moon? When the Sun and Moon reach the same degree of the same sign. It happens once a month (moon being the root word of month) and always brings fresh new beginnings. This one, at 18 degrees Leo, on August 11 at 2:58am PDT also includes Mercury in a partial New Moon solar eclipse. This eclipse falls on the North Node so it is 'hot' and growth filled. Where does it land in your chart? Ask me if you don't know. There is a big energizing of this sector of your lif

The Moon becomes new each month as the Sun and Moon reach the same degree of the same sign. This marks the beginning of a new cycle, effectively the germination of the month. This New Moon happens on July 12 at 7:48pm PT/10:48pm ET in the sign of Cancer at 20 degrees. It is a supermoon (closest to Earth) that officially kicks off Eclipse Season (a 6 week period containing 3 eclipses) with a perfect opposition to the Great Composter in the Sky: Pluto. When Pluto is part of the
