The astrology of Joanna Macy: Healing and reconnection

“The most remarkable feature of this historical moment is not that we are on the way to destroying our world–we’ve actually been on the way quite a while. It is that we are beginning to wake up, as from a millenia-long sleep, to a whole new relationship to our world, to ourselves, and to each other.”

This is not intended to be an in-depth chart analysis, but rather an astrological tribute. Joanna Macy, an eco-Buddhist warrior and teacher, died last weekend at the age of 96. She was a powerful presence and a […]

The meaning of Uranus in Gemini, 2025-2032

artist link

Uranus is the planet of reinvention, radical change, rebellion, innovation. But it also opens the door to multidimensional awareness and offers insights and new information. It breaks open the walls of scientific theory and creates a new vision of the world in which we live, and it is having an extremely powerful effect on our lives right now, likely because we are being shepherded into the Age of the sign which Uranus co-rules with Saturn: Aquarius.

If you have a few minutes, I suggest that you watch […]

Pluto in Aquarius and the Dark Enlightenment

If you haven’t heard of the “Dark Enlightenment” you’re not alone – the Dark Enlightenment is an “alt-right” neo-fascistic movement that advocates a return to extreme traditional values and monarchy in lieu of democracy, which it perceives as chaotic and ineffective. The movement began with Curtis Yarvin, who has been much in the news lately, and Nick Land – both software engineers in Silicon Valley, and has been supported by Peter Thiel, a Silicon Valley billionaire who was once a partner of Elon Musk in the startup which became PayPal.

The rise of […]

The meaning of Jupiter in Cancer, 2025-2026

artist link

Each of the visible planets in the sky describe a facet of human experience. In the natal chart, a planet in a particular sign describes the way that facet of experience will manifest in the personality. But planets also transit through the zodiac as they are moving through the sky relative to Earth, and these transitions can have more of a global effect.

Jupiter represents our search for meaning and experiences that help us to feel that life is worthwhile. The biggest planet in the solar system, it […]

The meaning of Saturn in Aries, 2025-2028

artist link

Saturn will enter Aries on May 24th for the first time since 1996, completing a 30-year cycle of Saturn through the zodiac signs of the ecliptic. Saturn is said to be in its fall in Aries; the discipline needed to accomplish Saturn’s urge for structure can be lacking under the impulsivity of Mars-ruled Aries which tends towards initiating new actions and a bold new direction. By its nature Saturn can be cautious and pessimistic which tends to put the brakes on Aries need for action, resulting in […]

The astrology of Virginia Giuffre: The trials of Saturn and Pluto

Trigger warning: This post contains references to sexual abuse and suicide.

Updated with accurate birth time. Virginia Guiffre, the primary and most public of the Epstein accusers, took her own life yesterday. This chart is set for noon since no time is available and without an accurate time we don’t know if her Moon was in late Leo or early Virgo.

In any case there are some difficult chart features that would have been activated over the past few years as Pluto transited the late degrees of Capricorn. Most notably, […]

The meaning of Neptune in Aries 2025-2038

artist unknown

About Neptune.

By its very nature, Neptune is difficult to talk about. It tends to be evasive and dreamy, and full of imagination and artistic creativity. It also can become lost in the illusion of fantasy and encourage sacrifice of the individual self, sometimes for a higher purpose and sometimes in a codependent loss of Self. In its highest form Neptune inspires us to transcend the material world and connect deeply and directly with an experience of the Divine.

In my work, the outer planets act as transformational forces to inspire […]

Donald Trump update March 2025

Please keep any comments centered around the astrology.

I have written a few posts about Trump over the last decade, and if you want to catch up on his astrological profile you might want to check out this post from September 2015 (hard to believe that was ten years ago!!).

Things are getting pretty heated and seem even more erratic than some of us expected so I thought it was time for an update.

Transiting Uranus, the planet of sudden change and radical behavior, is crossing the Midheaven, the point of public […]

Venus Retrograde in 2025 and reclaiming the power of Venus

Before getting into Venus retrograde, let’s talk about Venus. Her pantheonic ancestor is the Greek goddess Aphrodite (1-2000 bce), who was said to be the “personification of the generative powers of nature.” She was connected to love, beauty and sexual desire and was sometimes associated with war, as was HER pantheonic ancestors Inanna of Sumeria (2900 bce) and Ishtar of Mesopotamia (3000 bce). Ishtar and Inanna, along with Astarte in the Levant, are the same goddess and these precursors to Venus carried a more powerful archetype. They were associated with the power […]

Ceres in Pisces, February 23 – May 16, 2025

artist unknown

Ceres is still relatively new in the astrological pantheon, but in my work it has come to symbolize how well we relate to our incarnation. This encompasses so many things: How we relate to food. How we nourish and nurture ourselves. How we handle loss and grief.

The word “self-care” has become sort of trite and over-used, but self-care is exactly what the asteroid-now-called-planet Ceres is all about. Ceres is about our relationship with food (remember it was Ceres/Demeter who starved the world when her daughter was abducted […]
