A new perception: The lunar nodes on the Leo/Aquarius axis

artist link

The Nodes of the Moon are the points of intersection between the Sun and the Moon from our perspective here on Earth Earth. As the Sun traverses the ecliptic of the 12 zodiac signs from East to West, the Moon is also moving through the sky. The points where the path of the Moon crosses the path of the Sun are known as the nodes of the Moon. The South Node is below the Earth’s orbital plane, symbolizing the subconscious and familiar patterns from […]

The Uranus/Pluto trine of 2026-2028: The future is here

artist unknown

When I wrote my forecast of the 2020s (here) I only projected out to 2025. I always meant to finish it, and now here we are, in the future timeline. The conjunction from Jupiter to Saturn in Aquarius kickstarted the Age of Air, a 200-year cycle of innovation and decentralization. Pluto entering Aquarius in 2023 locked us firmly into the air element and a burst of revolutionary breakthroughs. Under the trine from Uranus to Pluto this brand new future fully unfolds, and it will be […]

The meaning of Chiron in Taurus: 2026 to 2033

artist link

Chiron is like a traveling healer, migrating through the signs and revealing where we are carrying soul wounds that need to be healed before we can evolve. Chiron has been in Aries for the past eight years or so, revealing soul wounds around identity and personal agency. Now Chiron moves into Taurus where it will spend about seven years teaching us about self-worth and abundance. In Aries we discover our identity, but in Taurus we become embodied, and this will be a theme over the […]

The meaning of Jupiter in Leo 2026-2027

artist link

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our natural solar system, and it radiates more energy than any other planet except for the Sun. Mythological Jupiter was the King of the Gods. With these bigger than life qualities, Jupiter’s role is to expand our sense of what is possible in our ordinary lives by removing fears and limitations and instilling faith and trust in the Universe. Jupiter is associated with the mental constructs that we develop which give our life a sense of meaning, […]

Neptune re-enters Aries and the world is on fire

Sorry to be dramatic, but this was a headline I saw recently and it seemed appropriate. Neptune hasn’t yet re-entered Aries, but already the fog (Neptune) of action and reaction has stepped up in intensity. In the past few weeks, the U.S. has invaded Venezuela and taken over its oil industry (oil itself is ruled by Neptune); protests in Iran have resulted in a crackdown and complete internet black-out, with thousands of protestors supposedly killed; wildfires are spreading out of control in Patagonia and Australia … and we’re not even really […]

Saturn/Neptune and the Walk for Peace

On October 25, 2025, a group of Buddhist monks from Fort Worth Texas left their home on a walk for peace to spread the Light of Dhamma, the path to enlightenment, to Washington D.C. I only recently became aware of this when Facebook postings started to appear, announcing the visit of the monks to my home county.

Led by the loyal peace dog Aloka, the monks have walked through towns and cities across the southern U.S. and the response has been incredible. It turns out that the simple message of peace and spiritual […]

The Saturn/Neptune conjunction: Reimagining the future

artist link

Saturn and Neptune will align on February 20, 2026, a planetary combination which has been building since both planets entered Aries in the spring of 2025.

Saturn and Neptune are two different archetypes and serve two different purposes. As one of the visible planets, Saturn operates on an individual level and represents the need for the human life to achieve something meaningful. In order to accomplish this we are often given tests and hurdles to jump over before we can reach the goal. As an outer planet, sometimes […]

The Jupiter/Chiron square of 2025-2026

artist link

The planet Jupiter is associated with all good things: Opportunities, good luck, wisdom, abundance, expansion etc. In traditional astrology it is called the “Greater Benefic” because it provides benefit through increase which is usually a good thing. The more good fortune we have, the easier life can be.

This expansive quality of Jupiter can become challenging when it expands situations or energies which are difficult. When Jupiter squares Mars in a natal chart, for example, the native can be impulsive or reckless as the action of Mars […]

The meaning of Chiron conjunct Eris

artist link

Eris and Chiron are both relatively new planetary bodies in the astrological pantheon. Chiron was discovered in the late 1970s and by the early 1980s when I started studying Chiron had entered the literature. It was the late 1980s before I even heard of Chiron, but immediately it beckoned to me. At the time many astronomers and astrologers thought Chiron was a comet or an asteroid, but it was later classified as a Centaur. There are lots of other Centaurs: Ixion, Pholus Nessus, etc. Because Chiron was […]

Political activism under the Saturn/Neptune conjunction

Although Saturn and Neptune will not officially conjoin until 2026, in mid-July they came within 15′ of arc which is a very tight conjunction and certainly well within the range of a powerful alignment.

Saturn is the planet of boundaries and rules and Neptune’s role is to blur those boundaries and dissolve those rules, but these two seemingly opposite forces can be harnessed for great reward. As an outer planet, Neptune brings transformative energy of creative inspiration and spiritual vision, and when paired with Saturn’s focus on goals and practical implementation, remarkable achievements […]
