Saturn Pluto & January Forecast by Sign

Saturn Pluto & January Forecast by Sign

Happy 2020! We are now standing inside of a New Year and a New Decade. As had been widely speculated by astrologers, the beginning of January has gotten off to a rocky and volatile start. Christmas Day brought us a solar eclipse that was powerful in effects as well as visuals; its pathway drew a line through Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. The reason everyone paying attention to the planetary cycles had speculated volatility at this time is the conjunction of JUPITER, SATURN, a

The Hunter's Moon Grows Full

The Hunter's Moon Grows Full

The HUNTER'S MOON is Full at 20 Degrees ARIES, on Sunday October 13, at 2:06 pm Pacific time. The SUN and Full MOON make a perfect square to PLUTO at 20 degrees of CAPRICORN. Yow! Add that square to the natural-born intensity of the annual MARS ruled FULL MOON of the dark of the year, and you get a warrior MOON, with issues. The vibe is rather uncompromising; there is a bit of: in the air. PLUTO just turned direct after 5 months retrograde and remains at the station degree, w

One Becomes Two: New Moon in Gemini

One Becomes Two: New Moon in Gemini

The MOON is new in GEMINI on June 3 at 3:02 am PDT. The above image is of the enchanted chanteuse Florence Welch, born with a GEMINI MOON conjunct this New MOON. The GEMINI tribe are incredibly gifted wordsmiths. For audio version, click here. The Sabian Symbol for this MOON is: A Famous Pianist Giving A Concert Performance. To get things started, I offer you this piece by French composer Yann Tiersen, born with his MERCURY and MIDHEAVEN right on this NEW MOON. GEMINI is a bi

Beltane New Moon: Fecund and Fertile

Beltane New Moon: Fecund and Fertile

The New MOON of May falls closely following the sacred pagan cross-quarter day of Beltane or May Day. This fire celebration of fertility and fun has been observed and ritualized for millennia. The eve of April 30, rolling into May 1 is considered to be the gateway into summertime in the northern hemisphere. The day considered to be the beginning of Summer in our modern era, Summer Solstice, is actually the peak of the season. You'll hear the word midsummer, and this is why; I

Full Moon of Divine Alchemy

Full Moon of Divine Alchemy

This is an unusual Full MOON; our second in LIBRA. The last Full MOON occurred at 00 degrees LIBRA, and this one falls at 29 degrees on April 19 at 4:12am PDT. LIBRA is a sign of duality, always needing the other, always seeking to achieve balance on the divine scales of life, and so somehow this double dose feels appropriate. We are all in relationship here on earth, to each other, to ourselves, and to life itself. There is never a point when we arrive at perfect balance and

Aqua New Moon Brings the Quickening

Aqua New Moon Brings the Quickening

New! Audio version available: Click here to listen Welcome to the AQUARIAN perspective: feeling like an outsider the way an anthropologist from another world might. AQUARIANS come from a place infused with higher, faster moving frequencies than are largely found on Earth. They are the futuristic alchemical thinkers bent on improving the lot for humanity, and though they may not understand humans' dense ways, they are fond of them... especially from a little bit of a distance.

The Eclipse of the Red Queen

The Eclipse of the Red Queen

Here we go into Eclipse #2 of 2019. While the New MOON solar eclipse on Jan 5 was all CAPRICORN, this Full MOON Lunar Eclipse brings in a LEO MOON/AQUA SUN tightly stitched into the CAP CANCER Nodal axis, square to URANUS, the Great Awakener. This is a volatile, electric, emotional combination. Eclipses are always a time between the worlds and they express themselves through our emotions as well as events in our lives. The lights are briefly out, it is not business as usual.

A Midwinter Full Moon

A Midwinter Full Moon

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

Archery & Alchemy at the New Moon

Archery & Alchemy at the New Moon

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

Giving Thanks for the Jupiter Full Moon

Giving Thanks for the Jupiter Full Moon

Our MOON grows full at 9:39 pm PT on November 22 at zero degrees GEMINI opposite the zero degree SAGITTARIUS SUN conjunct JUPITER, on American Thanksgiving. Considering the Full MOON could fall anywhere from 0-30 degrees, the zero point is interesting. You know what else? The following 3 Full MOONS are also at zero degrees of their signs. This is unusual synchronicity. The entry degree of a sign is incredibly potent, as it is the birth point and contains all possibility. It i

A Change of Direction & Themes

A Change of Direction & Themes

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

Venus Enters the Heart of the Sun

Venus Enters the Heart of the Sun

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. (learn more) This lovely pentagram design is made by the path that VENUS travels

The Medicine Journey of Venus Has Begun

The Medicine Journey of Venus Has Begun

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.

The Harvest Moon on the Equinox Points

The Harvest Moon on the Equinox Points

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

Venus Approaches Her Underworld Gate

Venus Approaches Her Underworld Gate

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

The Full Moon of the Divine

The Full Moon of the Divine

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

Last Eclipse as Moon is Reborn in Leo

Last Eclipse as Moon is Reborn in Leo

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

Intense Cancer New Moon Ushers in Eclipse Season

Intense Cancer New Moon Ushers in Eclipse Season

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

The Full Moon of Alignment & Mars Retrograde

The Full Moon of Alignment & Mars Retrograde

Coming to full just after Summer Solstice in the north, Winter Solstice in the south, and a day after Mars turns retrograde, this Strawberry Full Moon is dipped in Saturn. We have a triple signature of Full Moon in Capricorn, conjunct Capricorn's ruler Saturn who is in Capricorn on June 27 at 9:53pm PDT/6:53 EDT at 6 degrees Cap and trine to the electric awakener Uranus. We are under the effects of a wild stability. And I'd be remiss in not mentioning that our friend Pluto i
