Mars/Uranus/North Node. This week will begin with the climactic conjunction of Mars to Uranus and the North Node, an event which was building last week and peaks on Monday. Mars is fiery action and Uranus is the rebellious departure from the norm, so together they make quite a team. Meanwhile the North Node calls to us from the future, asking that we make the correct choices to lead us down […]
Lack of the air element. Currently there is an astrological imbalance in the skies with a lack of planets in air signs. The only planet in air is Saturn in Aquarius, and Saturn shows where there is a detriment that needs to be worked on. Air is the element of objectivity and clarity, and without the influence of the air element we can become hyper-energized without any real purpose (fire), stuck in patterns and overly […]

TLDR*: Next week will be a challenge, but don’t expect the end of the world.
Several people have asked me about the upcoming dramatic conjunction of Mars, Uranus and the Nodes. The exact date of this alignment is August 1st, and the Mars/Uranus conjunction will be exact at 7:42 EDT. One client sent me this article from Vedic astrologer Joni Patry who wrote: “this is a very pivotal month of enormous, sudden and explosive events that will trigger tremendous changes. The astrological-historical patterns strongly suggest this […]

The Moon is full in Leo on January 28, 2021 at 2:16 pm, emphasizing the need for a higher level of self-expression under Leo which still honors the needs of the collective under the Aquarius Sun. The Sun is one of four planets in Aquarius, so there is a great deal of Aquarian focus on reason and rational thinking concerning that which is good for everyone and not just the individual. But the Leo Full Moon is focused on the lunar energies which encourage self-value, self-esteem, and an ability to […]
Has anyone slept for the past few days under the conjunction of Mars to Uranus? Uranus is the Awakener and he certainly kept me awake. These Mars-y energies are on the wane but it will take a few days for the pressure to ease. Meanwhile, a conjunction from Ceres (nurturing the self) conjunct Neptune (transcendent experiences) in Pisces today can help us to soothe jangled nerves and regain internal balance through enhanced inner connection and spiritual nutrition. This is a good day to take a break from the news and enjoy […]

I’ve been talking in my videos about the chart for the Inauguration being pretty intense, and today we get to taste it! The Moon leaves fiery Aries for comfort-loving Taurus at 1:56 pm EST, which would normally be a cozy respite of snuggling and luxury. However, Mars, the planet of fire, desire and aggression, is pretty much exactly conjunct Uranus (radical rebellion) all day and especially as it gets close to its exact conjunction at 3:37 pm. But wait, that’s not all! The cozy Taurus Moon will form […]
The sign that the Sun travels through casts a light of that sign’s influence across the land, and we are all affected by it no matter what our individual chart looks like. The Sun enters Aquarius at 3:39 pm Eastern time today, at which point there will be four three in Aquarius: Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury and the Sun. This takes us fully into Aquarius season, and into the Aquarian experience of detachment, reason, community, collegiality – a nice change from what we’ve had under […]
Today’s video is not political! And I’m very relieved that the weekend did not turn out to be the chaotic disruption that was promised after January 6th so I’m hopeful for a smooth presidential transition this week after the inauguration. However, I do spend a few minutes talking about the chart for the inauguration, as well as some thoughts for how to manage these challenging times. Mercury will turn retrograde on January 30th so we might as well start to prepare now as the speed of Mercury begins to slow down. Transcript follows the promo material.
For political commentary follow me […]

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 […]
In a series of recent interviews, Prince Harry has revealed some of his innermost thoughts and feelings, something very unusual for the normally strait-laced Windsors of Britain.
Harry’s chart is loaded with the element of Earth – Sun in Virgo, Capricorn rising and Moon in Taurus. Practical, grounded and anchored in the material world, Earthy people tend to be very responsible and understand the necessities of position and place in the world. Yet in his youth, Harry was known as the mischievous child, forever pulling pranks on […]
