So much is happening that produces anxiety.  I get it!  But we are in a very important Aries time - and Aries calls for us, not to be unafraid, but to develop courage.  Because your soul has chosen to incarnate at this time, I believe you are able, even if just barely able, to negotiate this storm.  The next few paragraphs outline events during this month, but there is hope at the end in the words of Clarissa Pinkola Estes ( Runs With Wolves  fame). In February, we had the hi

Jupiter has concluded a four month long retrograde, stationery at 15 degrees Cancer, readying to move forward in direct motion on April 5. When a planet is standing still like this, its power is ampified. Jupiter is generally beneficent, but every front has a back.  Jupiter is concerned with belief systems and Cancer can be security oriented, as its feeling nature is so sensitive.  We live in a Cancer country, and we have seen how fear of the foreigner, can go ugly.   It has.

Mercury Before I start my Mercury Retrograde blog, I want to let you know I will be teaching Astrology 101 at First House in Webster Groves this Thursday, March 5, at 6 - 7:30 pm.  This is a great way to begin to use astrology to understand yourself and the world better!  We will meet on March 5 & 14 and April 2 & 16 .  You will come away with understanding the first phrase of astrology:  Planets, Signs and Houses.  We will also learn about the Elements, Modes and Aspects.

The mood of the country is shifting. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, and Pluto  are planets of the collective.  One by one, the outer planets will change signs this year - except for Pluto, which has already entered Aquarius, and will stay until 2043. Neptune (dreamy, visionary, illusory) has left Pisces, where it spent the last 14 years, Neptune will be in Aries until 2039.  The planet Saturn (boundaries, concrete reality, time) will enter Aries February 15, staying unt

The Full Moon in Leo stands in opposition to a five planet pileup in Aquarius. Pluto (God of Hell) adjacent to Mars (God of War, the Sun (symbolizing the current leadership, Venus (Relationships) and Mercury in Aquarius (Youth, Dissociation.  The brutality of those currently in power to rip asunder relationships and children is clearly visible, even if the thugs wearing masks are not.  Popularity of the Administration continues to drop as we process the murders, not only of R

The planets are tightly forming around the mini trine that will be the keynote of the year - Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius with Saturn/Neptune in Aries at the midpoint of the two. When the history books are written, I believe 2026 will be the seed year for beginning something completely new in society. The big news is that a mini trine has formed with Uranus in Gemini (new advances, brand new technologies) trine Pluto in Aquarius (Death and Rebirth of the Power of

The societally changing mini trine with Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius with Saturn/Neptune at the midpoint has already formed. It becomes more intense February 20. The first week in January unfolded rapidly and horribly - the invasion of Venezuala, the surge of ICE in Minnesota and then the point blank killing of a trained protest observer, Renee Goode. When Trump is feeling cornered, he is at his most dangerous. He was ordered to release the Epstein files on De

I included a chart for December 13, the day I am writing this post. You do not need to know astrology to see that there are numerous geometric shapes in the chart. Those shapes mean that planetary actions are integrally tied to one another. You can see: A Grand Trine, linking Jupiter, Saturn/Neptune in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer and Mercury in Sagittarius/Lilith in Scorpio A Kite or Diamond, linking the above planets as well as Uranus in Taurus A second Kite/Diamond linking th

Saturn, Father Time Planets are very powerful when they are stationary, preparing to go in retrograde (backward) .or direct (forward) motion. From November 24 to December 1, Saturn stood still an incredible seven days. On November 20, with Saturn just a couple of seconds away from its stock-still 9-day run, Trump signed a bill from Congress that he would release the Epstein files. The Sun was in secretive Scorpio, and Mercury was in its retrograde period - uncovering old s

In the early morning hours of November 20, 2025, just before the Sun leaves Scorpio for the sign Sagittarius, we will have a new Moon in Scorpio. At the New Moon, the Sun and Moon join and seed a period favoring new beginnings. Mercury is conjunct the Sun and Moon in Scorpio, but it is retrograde (reverse motion), and the recommendation is always to review during a retrograde, not initiate. So these two developments seem to be in conflict. Sun and Moon have a foot on the g
