BRAVE NEW WORLD It's more than just a cosmic coincidence that Jupiter's entrance into Aries precedes Pluto's into Aquarius in March – right at the beginning of Aries season. The feeling that something has to change is morphing into a personal vow to be the change you want to see. But this isn't [...]
WAHT IF? Sun/Neptune squares (like the one on December 14th) act as cosmic reminders that there is more to heaven and earth than is dreamt of in our philosophy. This is when our surface world conceits and ambitions are suddenly plunged into the undersea realm of variant forms and alternate realities. This used [...]
'TWAS THE FULL MOON BEFORE CHRISTMAS . . . The Holidays are supposed to be a time of peace on Earth and goodwill toward men but it will be hard to maintain that festive spirit when the Full Moon conjoins Mars in Gemini on December 7th. This is a petulant and even vindictive [...]

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN TAURUS Since Antiquity Solar Eclipses have been seen as impacting the heads of state whereas Lunar Eclipses impacted the welfare of the people. That's because the Moon is the planet in Astrology that has the most influence on our bodies therefore Lunar Eclipses affected the "body politic". "Body politic" means [...]
MARS RETROGRADE IN GEMINI Someone once said that everything they learned, they learned in kindergarten - how to share, how to play, how to put things back where you found them, and how to lose. These are important life lessons because they teach us how to get along with others who aren't always [...]
SHADOWLAND Projecting our shadow side is nothing new. Everyone does it.
