1.15.21. Breaking the chains

art by Amber Crystal Elf on Deviant Art

As Mars, planet of aggression and drive, interacts over the next few days with Jupiter (freedom) and Uranus (radical revolution), it will trigger that Jupiter/Uranus square and inspire some radical reactions to any kind of oppression or restriction. This will play out with some difficulty on the global stage, but in our personal lives it could have the effect of shaking us out of anywhere we have felt stuck and unable to move forward with a dream or idea of […]

1.14.21 Uranus turns direct! No retrogrades for two weeks

artsy50 on Deviant Art

Last year we had 5-7 planets in retrograde motion for virtually the whole summer and into the fall. Uranus is the last of those planets to turn direct. Uranus rules radical changes, disruption, electricity, multidimensional awareness and higher consciousness. When a planet changes direction it makes a station – it is virtually stationary as it shifts course. Uranus hasn’t traveled more than a degree in about a month, and it will continue to be stationary for a few weeks after it turns direct today. Any […]

1.5.21. Mars at the 29th degree of Aries

art by Dolores Develde
Mars has been in Aries since June 27th 2020 – a crazy long time for Mars to be in one sign, and in its own sign of Aries, where its aggressive force is unhampered by any control factors, we have seen some intensification of violence and hostility. Mars enters Taurus tomorrow, Wednesday January 6 2021, but not until 5:21 pm on the day that Congress meets to certify the election. The 29th degree is called a “critical” degree. The last degree of a sign, it’s the last […]

12.31.20 Voices from the past with Venus conjunct South Node

art by Tracy Verdugo

If you’re reading this, you made it through 2020! Today we close out the year with a sweet transit of Venus in Sagittarius conjunct the South Node of the past. Venus is the planet that helps us to connect with others, and it is currently traveling through Sagittarius where we tend to be more optimistic and open-minded about our relationships. Venus is also tied to our values as well as wealth and prosperity, and in Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius that optimism can lead to a bounty of […]

12.27.20 A breath of fresh air today with the Sun trine Uranus

art by Denise Parker

As we approach the Full Moon in Cancer on December 29/30 emotions and feelings will intensify and become the driving force, especially once the Moon enters Cancer on the morning of the 29th. Yesterday’s square from the Sun to Chiron, illuminating any painful feelings and preparing them for release, is embedded in the Full Moon chart. This idea of liberating ourselves from the shackles of our own emotions will be around for awhile.

Fortunately a lovely trine today from the Sun to Uranus (radical change) […]

12.26.20 Everything is illuminated with the Sun square Chiron

photo by Android Jones

Chiron is often called the “wounded healer” but I prefer the name of the “soul healer.” Under Chiron’s tutelage we release old wounds and painful beliefs which hold us back from being able to fully heal from the past and move into an empowered and enlightened present. Today the Sun aligns in a strong square (90 degree) aspect to Chiron, and for a day or two we may feel a bit out of sorts as the energetic realignment precipitates a release of an unneeded and […]

12.23.20 How to master today’s Mars square Pluto transit

Yes, it’s true that there’s likely to be more conflict. Yes, it’s true that people will be angrier and more reactive. Mars is a fiery motivator, and Pluto demands power and can be quite greedy about it. A clash between these two can foster irritation and unease at the minimum, and violence at the maximum. This is the last of a series of interactions between Mars and Pluto and in today’s alignment we also have the Moon in Aries, siding with Mars in a conjunction to join the battle against Pluto. This […]

12.18.20 Lunar aspects today help to calm the rough edges

art by Jen Garcia

Saturn just moved into Aquarius yesterday, and Jupiter follows tomorrow – that’s the big news. But today the waxing Moon in Aquarius harmonizes with Mars in Aries (sextile aspect) to aid in the ability to visualize the higher perspective and put our plans into motion with clarity and strategy, and then with the Sun and Mercury (also sextile) to help integrate our thoughts and ideas into the framework of action.

There is opportunity for healing today with an applying trine from Venus in Sagittarius […]

12.15.20 Eclipse wrapup, and Venus enters Sagittarius

photo by Gabe Tomoiago

Eclipses affect different people in different ways. If I experience them personally it’s usually with some sort of realization or emotional outburst. Monday’s solar eclipse was angular for me, opposite my ascendant, and I felt all day (and Sunday night too) as if I had been plugged into an electrical socket. Yet astrologers on Twitter debated whether eclipses have an effect on individuals or serve a purely mundane (worldly) purpose. The eclipse, at 23 Sagittarius, fell exactly on President Trump’s Moon and with the […]

12.12.20 A burst of strong feminine energy to prepare us for the eclipse

art by Kay Steventon

As we prepare for the solar eclipse on December 14th, the Moon in Scorpio draws us deep into the mysteries of the unknown. In the process she gathers her feminine allies, aligning with Venus who is also in Scorpio, to penetrate the depths of emotion and purpose in our personal relationships. Venus conjoins Juno, the asteroid of responsibility and commitment in partnership, and the Moon joins them for a few hours – all in Scorpio. Building strong bonds of interpersonal […]
