On October 23, Venus is retrograde at 0 degrees Scorpio. We cannot see here because she is right in the heart of the Sun, and the Sun's rays are so bright, we cannot see her. But she is there, allowing the healing rays of the Sun to wash over her. This will be the last Venus RX in Scorpio...for a100 year cycle, she has been at this spot every 8 years. The last time was 2018 - we had a Blue Wave in the midterms, too! Venus' Rx allows us to see where we have had self inflic

After spendin​g 5 months in retrograde motion, Pluto has lumbered around to move in direct motion. While doing so, the planet is virtually stationary the next few days. Planets are very powerful when changing direction, so see if the nightly news has any relevance to transformation, regeneration or tpower. A quick square with Venus will make us alert to how power has been used inappropriately toward women, exploitation around gas and oil and crazy high prices for everything!

On Saturday morning, October 10, we will have a new moon in the sign of Libra. The Sun and Moon align at 17 degrees of Libra, ready for new beginnings. The new moon will be at a mid degree of Libra, so if you have planets angles at the middle of Libra, this will be more personal for you. Libra, a sign about love, relationships, beauty, resources and balance asks “Am I giving too little? Too much? Am I avoiding honest confrontation for the sake of a misguided peace? Am I

On Saturday, October 3, Venus will station to go retrograde. She will take a 40 day journey from her starting point at 8 Scorpio (intimacy) all the way back to 22 Libra (committed relationships). A 40 day period - like "fasting in the wilderness" - turns up in many sacred texts. This will be a profound, intense reexamination of relationship and intimacy values, particularly as it occurs in the company of an exact opposition of Mars in Leo (assertive/aggressive in a King or Qu

Remember the Solar Eclipse on August 12? The Ancients felt that when the Sun darkened, it signalled new leadership was coming. The King is Dead, long live the King. That eclipse happened at 20 Leo. The sign and the degree of Leo will be triggered when planets cross over it. Mars is entering Leo on September 29 and will almost immediately encounter a difficult relationship with Mercury (communication, the press) Venus in Scorpio (shared resources), and Chiron in Aries.

Libra is all about balance, and with the arrival of the Autumn Equinox, we have the balancing of the Light and Dark in equal measure. The full Moon on Saturday, September 26, teaches us the need for balance between "I am" and "we are". Who are we in partnership? Where do we concentrate on ourselves too much or compromise for the sake of the relationship? And watch my comments on AI. We are on the threshold of a life changing technological shift in many ways. AI is a sig

Before we look where we are going, we need to look back at why we are here. In July, all the outer planets: Uranus in Gemini, Neptune in Aries, and Pluto in Aquarius, met at 4 degrees. Those planets/positions describe a changing backdrop of our society. I believe a tipping point is coming – a zeitgeist – not a flash in the pan! This aspect has legs and it is set in motion! We will not see immediate change. History takes time! But I believe the change has begun. And the his

So much has happened this summer with rapid-fire movement of all the outer planets into volatile fire and air signs! We need a moment! The earthy, grounded Virgo New Moon allows us to catch our breath. Virgo territory is about health, wellness, service, and self care. Stress definitely impacts our wellness! If you have planets in the mid-degrees of Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces or Gemini, Taurus or Capricorn, you may feel this energy more intensely. But self care does not mean

In July, all the outer planets, Uranus in Gemini, Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius, met at 4 degrees . Those planets describe a changing backdrop of our society. I believe a tipping point was reached in the zeitgeist of the people’s will that was no flash in the pan! That aspect has legs and is continuing. We will not see an immediate turn around (history takes time), but I believe the change has begun. During the eclipses of August 12 (total solar eclipse) and August 2

This week will wrap up the August eclipse season with a partial lunar eclipse in the sign of Pisces. Eclipses can only happen at the new or full Moons when the Nodes of the Moon hover about. The nodes are a wild card in astrology - the fickle finger of fate, I like to call it. Things are less stable, not always following the conventional path. This eclipse is a North Node eclipse -- aligned with the destination we are reaching for, whereas the solar eclipse on August 12, was
