Astrological update for the week of May 22, 2023

artist may be Melissa Harris

Mars in Leo and the dance with Jupiter and Pluto. Mars moved into Leo last week, heightening our drive to seek pleasure and joyful experiences that bring happiness and delight. However, Mars is not always the best ally as it can be impulsive and reckless and sometimes prone to anger and rage, especially when facing challenging square aspects from both Pluto and Jupiter as it did last week.

I wrote about this in last week’s forecast as this […]

Planetary news this week: Taurus New Moon and a challenge to overcome

Astrological update for the week of May 15-22, 2023

art by Zdenek Moravek

Planets changing signs bring about a shift in human consciousness, and when three planetary bodies change signs in one week it can be very enervating. There is a strong Taurus signature, with Jupiter entering Taurus and a Taurus New Moon, so the drive for peaceful experiences is a strong one. However, the Sun enters Gemini at the end of the week and opens up the door to Gemini season which is much more active, so […]

Sunday Poetry: Sweet Darkness

This is a very personal poem for me right now. I’m in the midst of some intense planetary alignments involving progressed Mars and Pluto (geeky astrological details below) which I have been observing with some trepidation. Would I get in an accident? Set fire to my house? Blow up all of my relationships? But I forgot that Mars is all about the purification of the ego through desire. Connecting with the higher aspect of our own selves to see what it is that our soul is desiring. The questions began to change. How do I want to spend […]

Weekend update: June 5, 2021 – Tension on Saturday, peaceful ease on Sunday

art by Krystleyez

I’ve been talking all week about the potentially challenging aspect between Mars and Pluto, and today is the day! The exact opposition occurs today at 3:45 pm EDT (go back and read yesterday’s post about Mars and Pluto if you missed it). Pluto is a bit like Mars’s daddy, and just imagine a toddler in a tantrum and you’ll have an idea of what can occur today. The Moon is in Aries now and since Aries is ruled by Mars the Mars energy is amplified even […]

Aries, Mars and Pluto – what is the connection?

Art by Evolvana on Deviant Art

With the Moon now in Aries, ruled by Mars (planet of aggression and assertiveness), and with Mars about to oppose Pluto, the Lord of the Divine Will, the next few days could bring a great deal of Mars-y energy to the forefront of our consciousness. Mars is all about expressing and asserting our Will; under its influence we may feel more impulsive and more easily irritated. When Mars is opposite Pluto in the sky, all of that energy of desire and need may […]

6.1.21 – Healing waters of the Pisces Moon today

art by Amanda Clark

With the Moon having just entered dreamy Pisces, and conjunct Jupiter this morning, the potential for expansion and idealistic optimism is unlimited. Jupiter is after all the traditional ruler of Pisces and helps with the process of releasing limitations and negativity. Today is a wonderful day for anything creative, to imagine and plan with an abundant perspective. Meanwhile, the energies are building for a harmonious sextile from the Gemini Sun to Chiron in Aries to facilitate healing and understanding. The Chironic process of healing old […]

The astrology chart and impact of Rush Limbaugh

Embed from Getty Images

Rush Limbaugh died yesterday at the age of 70. Arguably one of the right wing’s strongest influences, he dominated the airwaves of conservative media for over 30 years.

Limbaugh’s chart reveals a cocktail of hidden rage and trauma. With the Sun in Capricorn, he had a strong will to succeed and make his mark, but his Sun was in the 12th house of the hidden and the subconscious, and it was in a challenging square to Neptune, the modern planet which is associated with the 12th house. It’s often said that 12th house Sun people prefer to be hidden, but […]

The astrology of Tulsi Gabbard

Embed from Getty Images

This is the latest in a series of profiles of Democratic presidential candidates. For the others, see the list at the bottom of this article. In this series I am making every attempt to be objective, but sometimes my bias may seep through.

Tulsi Gabbard is a curious candidate and hard to pin down. She is economically progressive, supporting Medicare for All, and socially progressive as a fairly recent convert to LGBTQ rights. She is vegan and a practicing Hindu. She has practiced and taught martial arts and served in the armed services. She is anti-war, except when it comes […]

Planetary news this week! Full moon, Neptune retrograde, Mars reactions, and the Solstice

This week is so full of planetary action I hardly know where to begin! If you missed my post on the Full Moon of June 17th you can catch it here. The amplification of the Full Moon intensifies some of the other drama going on right now with Mars and Mercury so let’s talk about that a bit here.

Mars and Mercury

Last week I wrote: “Mars is quite active between the 13th and the 23th, which will help us to shake off some of the inertia […]

The 2019 Sagittarius Full Moon and the Galactic Center

The Galactic Center, currently at 27 degrees Sagittarius, is the rotational center of our galaxy – like the Sun, which is the center of our solar system and the major astrological factor of personal significance, the Galactic Center is the force that binds the galaxy together. Astrologically and symbolically, the Galactic Center is the heart of the Universe – the soul of wisdom for our solar system and our species of humanity as well as all of the other planetary systems and species that may exist in the farther reaches […]
