The astrology of Gisele Pélicot, featuring Black Moon Lilith

art source

In a time before a war in Iran took the tales of a global Epstein conspiracy out of the news, the trial of the drugged rapes of Gisele Pélicot by her husband and his accomplices shocked the world. Her bravery in speaking out and making herself heard has inspired women everywhere to leave behind the shame of abuse in the campaign against sexual violence.

As an astrologer, the dark turn that this campaign has taken interests me. Back in 2018 the Me Too movement exposed the harassment that many women […]

Exploring the White Moon Selene

Selene, by Albert Aublet

There are so many new bodies and points in the astrological pantheon it’s difficult to keep up with them all, or even most of them. But every now and then one pops up that becomes important in my work. I started working with Chiron practically from the beginning of my career when I started studying in 1983 – it had recently been discovered and resonated very strongly with me. I started working with the Black Moon Lilith a few years […]

Astrological update for the week of August 30, 2021: Taking care of details in the midst of confusion

So many of you have asked for some kind of recording and let’s try it this week. There is a recording of this update at the end of the post. Let me know what you think in the comments.

This week we have a lack of the fire element in the planetary energies, and Mars, the fire planet, will oppose watery Neptune. Fire signifies drive, purification, frustration, motivation – it’s active in nature and energizes the processing of our experiences. Chiron is in Aries, but since Chiron represents the unhealed wound it activate […]

Weekend update May 22, 2021: Saturn turns retrograde and an intense Sunday ⭐️

art by Jim Fitzpatrick

Like all planets Saturn has two faces, both Beast and Prince. As Beast, he brings out our doubts and insecurities and bestows hardships. As Prince, the self-doubt and endurance required to manage the Beastly enterprises which result in successes and mastery. Saturn is in Aquarius, one of its rulership signs where it is happiest and best able to create the forms and structures which are required in order to build societies (Aquarius) that are effective and well-balanced. Saturn cares little for personal feelings; the ultimate […]

2.23.21 Lunar aspects from the Cancer Moon, and Lilith

art by Manami Lingerfelt

With no planetary interactions today the Cancer Moon can speak with a louder voice without being drowned out by stronger influences. And what is she trying to sell us? Cancer itself is ruled by the Moon – the mother, the planetary body which encourages us to connect more deeply to our inner selves, our inner child if you will – our deepest emotions which serve as the doorway to a more soulful experience. Today the Cancer Moon harmonizes with the Sun and Uranus helping us to […]

2.4.21 Black Moon Lilith connects the dots

More dark feminine energy today with the Black Moon Lilith – symbol of moral outrage and a burning resentment against oppression – connecting a number of planetary aspects that are not quite exact in alignment. Black Moon Lilith is in Venus-ruled Taurus and forming a square to Venus and Saturn which are in Aquarius. That Venus/Saturn alignment is building but won’t culminate until February 6th – in the meantime it can be difficult to connect with others under this aspect (even more difficult than usual in today’s quarantine times). Venus is in […]

1.29.21 Voices from the Dark Feminine

artist unknown

As the brilliance of the Leo Full Moon begins to fade, we have an exact conjunction of the Black Moon Lilith to Eris. The Black Moon Lilith, a theoretical point which relates to the Moon, is connected to themes of feminine rage reflecting the story of Lilith, Adam’s first wife, who refusing to submit to her husband was sent to the wilderness without her children and spent the past few thousand years wailing in frustration and anger. The oppression of women under a patriarchal system has become a stronger […]

11.19.20 More on Venus square Saturn, adding Black Moon Lilith

art by Linuron on Deviant Art

There are so many new feminine archetypes in the astrological pantheon. We’ve had Venus and the Moon for millenia, of course, and more recently the four major asteroids (Ceres, Pallas, Vesta and Juno). Black Moon Lilith has become a favorite of mine – she sits on my natal Pluto which explains a lot about my past history, and has been instrumental in the MeToo movement. She represents a primal rage against oppression, most particularly the oppression of the […]

Juno and the Black Moon Lilith tell an important story right now

There is an astonishing amount of planetary energies in the sky right now. To recap, we have had three planets tightly wound together in the stable, grounded sign of Capricorn since the spring of 2020 (Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn), creating restriction and pressure for responsibility and the supremacy of societal organizations. Mars (action and desire) is in its own sign of Aries where it is most powerful, about to turn retrograde, in a challenging aspect to the Capricorn planets and challenging their authority and attempts to create order.

Neptune (inspiring transcendence and spiritual […]

Discover the magic of your own truth at the Scorpio New Moon

Scorpio season is all about the darkness – our inner passions, our secret world of dreams and nightmares, the truths that must be told. The Scorpio New Moon on October 27th will provide us with an opportunity to dive deep into these depths where the subconscious and the soul meet – where we can find Truth and true transformation.

Scorpio is associated with intense emotions – the dark feelings such as jealousy and hatred which normally don’t see the light of day. However, anything which we […]
