Planetary news this week: Jupiter/Neptune, and the Libra New Moon

It’s an interesting fact that the astrological factor associated with spirituality is the same as the symbolism associated with creative inspiration. And also delusion. That is not to say that spirituality and creativity are the same as delusion, but when the veil between the Divine and the practical begin to thin there is some danger that we will not always be able to distinguish what is “real” from what is “false.” It’s a well-known fact that some of the most brilliant artists have bordered on madness – something we attribute to […]

Planetary news this week! Jupiter/Neptune and some healing

Deviant Art

The faerie dust of the Jupiter/Neptune dance culminates this week, on September 22nd. While our modern idea of fairy dust sounds lovely and charming, like the glitter that we pour over ourselves when we go to a party to make ourselves more spectacular, faerie dust takes us into the faerie realms where we can get lost in the mists of magic. Remember the old tales about the wanderers like Rip Van Winkle who stumbled into the realm of Faerie and disappeared for many years? That […]

This month’s Pisces Full Moon and the road to bliss

The Pisces Full Moon on the 14th harmonizes with Pluto for a turbo boost of creative inspiration along with personal empowerment and growth. Under the Pisces Full Moon, the imagination and inner wisdom of Pisces takes precedence over the mundane details of everyday reality of the four Virgo planets. Pluto is a powerful ally in this endeavor, applying pressure to encourage transformation and a deepening of our true connection to our inner wisdom. Pisces tends to be somewhat passive, preferring to bask in the glow of transcendence, but this Full Moon […]

Planetary news this week: It’s time to get practical, with the help of Virgo

If you’ve been wanting to get your house and your life organized, this could be your time. Three planets are in the organizational sign of Virgo (Sun, Mars and Venus) as I write this on August 26, 2019. By the 29th, Mercury will have moved into Virgo for a total of four, and then the Moon joins the party on August 30th for the Virgo New Moon.

Virgo’s realm is the mundane world – the world of daily rituals and routines, helping others, personal hygiene and health, diet and exercise. Virgo is […]

Planetary news this week! Astrological forecast for the week of June 10, 2019

Jupiter square Neptune

One of the major planetary factors in 2019 is the challenging square from Jupiter to Neptune. Jupiter is the Great Liberator, it’s expansive and bestows confidence and a general feeling of good luck and abundance. Neptune is a transformational outer planet – it inspires us to dissolve the shackles that keep us bound to the material world and the restrictions we put on ourselves and to emerge into an ocean of divine bliss. Jupiter and Neptune are connected through their rulership of Pisces – Jupiter is the […]

Mercury retrograde and New Moon in Pisces, March 5-28, 2019

There’s a lot to unpack this week!

Mercury has just turned retrograde. (For a little more detail, check out the video linked below.) Mercury turns retrograde three or four times a year, and travels retrograde for about 21 days each time. Because Mercury’s domain includes the mind, learning and communication but also trips of short duration and the technology which facilitates communication, Mercury is not always at its best when appearing to travel retrograde. If this is new to you, or if you’d like more information, please […]

Saturn sextile Neptune 2019: Creating structure for inspiration

Art by Fiona Owen

Two of the most significant planetary cycles for 2019 are the challenging square alignment between Jupiter’s expansive tendencies and Neptune’s penchant to transcend (or avoid) material reality. The “hard angle” planetary interactions such as the square (90 degrees) and opposition (180 degrees) tends to give us more of the challenging aspects of the planetary cycle. The Jupiter and Neptune dance dissolving the restrictions of the material world could potentially become more of a distraction into the world of self-deception and illusion, encouraged by Jupiter’s desire to continue to […]

Planetary news this week: Jupiter/Neptune & the Supermoon Eclipse!

Video for this week here. There is a lot of buzz and excitement around the lunar eclipse on January 20th-21st (EST) because it’s a Supermoon (tm Richard Nolle), meaning the Moon is at perigee, its closest orbit to Earth. This means the Moon appears larger (because it is larger and lower in the sky, it will appear to be a red color and is therefore called a Blood Moon). Astrologer Richard Nolle has connected Supermoon events to intensified weather and geological events such […]

The Jupiter/Neptune square of 2019: Dissolving limitations and boundaries

Deviant Art

One of the more significant planetary cycles of 2019 is a powerful square (90 degree) dynamic between Jupiter and Neptune. Jupiter and Neptune are connected through their mutual rulership of the sign Pisces: Jupiter is the traditional ruler and Neptune the modern ruler of Pisces. Jupiter and Neptune share an expansive view of the world, and a desire to bring true meaning into our lives. However, Jupiter’s focus is more on the expansion of the Self through a pursuit of meaning and Truth whereas Neptune’s […]

Planetary news this week, January 7, 2019

This week, while we are coming off the influence of the solar eclipse at the Capricorn New Moon, Uranus is at a standstill in the sky as it prepares to change direction. In its role as the instigator of radical change and transmission of information from the higher mind, Uranus helps to expand our consciousness as it inspires us to break out of routines that keep us stuck in our day to day ruts.
