What an astrologer does when they read your chart is to decode your personal clock. What time is for you? You were born in a moment, in a slice of time. Every moment is its own slice of time. A transit reading is looking at how your slice of time interacts with the current time slice you find yourself in, and assistance in under

What is Saturn in Capricorn?

What is Saturn in Capricorn?

Good question! As it will be our dominant lessons theme for the next 3 years, let's definitely take a look. Saturn relates to the physical world because it is alignment, and simply speaking if you're aligned, you thrive and feel good. Saturn rules the sign of Capricorn, which means that it’s playing for the home team, and as everyone knows, home team players always have the advantage. Edmund Dulac The influences of this new transit (which started on December 19, 2017) can inc

A deeper look at Jupiter in Scorpio

A deeper look at Jupiter in Scorpio

Artist Sylvia Ji JUPITER represents your guiding star. It's what you believe in. It represents the spiritual system that underpins your life. SCORPIO represents evolution and transformation. Thus we are in a process of transforming and equally being transformed by our relationship to spirit. JUPITER officially entered SCORPIO on October 10, 2017. As the wildfires in Northern California raged out of control, no end in sight. But it will be October 26, when JUPITER conjuncts th

I will have much more to say about this big, recent, change in the pantheon, but for now, I live in Sonoma County and we are dealing with a very big emergency. Many fires are burning, with little or no containment. Please send prayers and visions of the fires being contained and extinguished. Please join us in asking the wind spirits to not join with the fire spirits again. Jupiter in Scorpio is making its presence known. Destruction of the old, to make way for the new. Like

Equi-Nox: Harvest Tide

Equi-Nox: Harvest Tide

As we approach the Autumnal Equinox in the North (Vernal Equinox in the South), it is a time to pause and reflect. The word equinox means equal-night (equi-equal nox-night) where the Day and the Night meet, and bow to each other. It's a moment of equipoise before the Night gains the upper hand in the North. This ladder spirals us all the way into Winter Solstice. (Thomas Cooper Gotch (British, 1854-1931), " A Golden Dream") The old word for the Autumnal Equinox is Mabon. Ma

The last phase of 2017

As we roll right into September and the autumn season in the Northern Hemisphere, (spring in the Southern) there are some distinct energies at play. For one, we are in the last month of our JUPITER in LIBRA transit. JUPITER always brings a bigness to everything it touches and in this case, it has touched the other cardinal planet placings: PLUTO in CAPRICORN and URANUS in LIBRA. These are massively significant, generation defining placings and aspects, and they have definitel

What actually is an eclipse? An eclipse takes place when the MOON moves between the SUN and EARTH. When this happens, the MOON blocks the light of the SUN from reaching EARTH. This causes an eclipse of the SUN, or Solar Eclipse. During a Solar Eclipse, the MOON casts a shadow onto EARTH. And though the path of the totality of this eclipse is only over a small part of the United States, it's effects are widely felt. An Eclipse takes us between the worlds. The gates are open an

The Role of Astrology

The Role of Astrology

Astrology is the tracking and charting of time. It is in essence, a cosmic clock. Your natal chart is a map of the specific time and a place that you were born. It's your soul's blueprint for this life. The role of Astrology is to allow us to understand what the Universe intends for us and help us to navigate and prevent negative outcomes. In the same way that you bring a map with you to go hiking in the wilderness, your chart helps to orient you to your journey of life. No m

Buckle your emotional seatbelt for this Thunder Full Moon.

Saturday night brings a Full Moon in the sign of Capricorn. As always, a Full Moon is in the opposite sign as the Sun (which is currently in Cancer). The Capricorn Cancer axis is one of earth and water; of being a strong protector, and of being cared for and nourished and protected. It is called the parent/child axis. With the Full Moon here, these themes are amplified. But wait, there's more... As the Moon becomes full, she is is a tight conjunction with Pluto, Lord of the U
