Expect the month of October to start with a bang – Mars will square Jupiter on the 2nd (or 3rd depending on your time zone). This should be a fairly high energy time; channel frustrations into getting things done! Be careful not to over-react and blow things out of proportion the first week of the [...]
Taking center stage this month is Mercury, turning retrograde on the 2nd. Pay extra attention to details, double check paperwork, beware of miscommunication… All the usual retrograde advice applies throughout the month, as Mercury won’t turn direct again until the 26th. Be especially careful of forming bad habits, or losing good ones. Prepare for routines [...]
June 15th brings a total Lunar Eclipse along with the Sagittarius Full Moon. This is a Jupiter ruled sign of adventure, philosophy, belief and expansion. The Archer (symbol of Sagittarius) aims far ahead, using a combination of skill and faith, then – without regret or second thought – sends his arrow sailing, destined to land [...]
We start out with New Moon in Gemini – which also marks a partial Solar Eclipse – on June 1st. Any Eclipse Moon is particularly powerful; the Sun and Moon aligned with each other, but with Mother Earth as well. The energy of new beginnings, growth and increase during this waxing phase is strengthened. Use [...]
This month is conveniently divided, waxing the first half of the month (New Moon June 01), and waning the last half (Full Moon June 15). Both the New and Full Moon bring eclipses, empowering both phases. The overall feeling of the month is a bit moody, scattered, or restless. Strong Saturn aspects at New Moon, [...]
After Mercury Retrograde predominating most of April, the coming month looks like a welcome reprieve. We begin – and end – the month with only 2 planets in retrograde – Saturn and Pluto. As these are slow moving planets, their retrogrades have little effect on daily life. Generally, though, the fewer retrograding planets the more [...]
Full Moon April 17th falls in Libra, the sign of love, justice, balance and harmony. This Moon is illuminating the other side. The other side of what? Probably whatever issue you have been wrestling with the most. Libra loves to tip the scales – if you have been leaning to one extreme, expect to be [...]
It looks like April may get off to a rough start – setting the tone for a somewhat challenging month. We have just entered Mercury retrograde which will predominate the month, lasting until the 23rd – with some after-effects carrying into May. On April 1st Mars will enter his own sign, Aries. He joins the [...]
What does Mercury Retrograde mean? You may well be familiar with Mercury’s retrograde cycle. It is one of the best known, least understood astrological cycles. In reality, most planets go retrograde every so often. The retrogrades of Mercury get the most attention, because they cause the most problems. It doesn’t have to be this way. [...]
