Mars in Pisces.

As I wrote in last week’s update, Mars entered Pisces on April 14th just before the Libra Full Moon on April 16th. That was a highly potent Full Moon, with the Sun and Moon both in a square aspect to powerful Pluto. Unfortunately it did not lead to a peaceful Easter weekend, with three mass shootings in the US, riots in Sweden and Jerusalem, and the bombing of the wonderful […]

Astrological update for the week of December 27 2021: A New Year and a New Moon


This week we have a new month, a new year, and a Capricorn New Moon – an abundance of fresh new energies to help sweep away the cobwebs and help us to have a fresh start.  No matter how well my life is going I always love that feeling that each morning is a new day and a new opportunity to awaken in a different way.

If you missed my 2022 forecast you can catch up here. Spoiler alert: We are not out of the woods yet. 😃  Meanwhile though, […]

A harmonious sextile from Mercury to Neptune today can help soften hard edges and enhance imagination to come up with creative solutions to any difficulties we may be experiencing.  Mercury is in Taurus where we tend to seek peaceful solutions that require as little change as possible, offering comfort and the security of abundance in all things.  The harmonious sextile to Neptune, the planet of inspiration and creative flow, helps to get Taurean Mercury unstuck and adds a dose of fairy […]

4.28.21 – Expansive awakenings under Sagittarius and Neptune

art by Anry

The Moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius today following the peak of Scorpionic intensity at yesterday’s Full Moon. This shift from Scorpio into Sagittarius takes us from the deep intensity of Scorpio into the optimistic expansive hope of Sagittarius. Pluto is stationary of course, so there is a layer of heat and power that underlies all other planetary alignments. But there is a deep breath of fresh air with the Moon in a new sign, and a lift of perspective to help the imagination and a broadening of […]

1.1.21. Happy new year to my dear readers!

art by Deborah Gregg

Did we just magically turn a page and erase 2020 altogether?  Will 2021 bring life back to normal?  There is definitely a change in the air as we move from a heavy Capricornian year of restriction and hardship (2020) to a year (2021) dominated by the sign of Aquarius and a square aspect between the two rulers of Aquarius, Saturn and Uranus.  Aquarius takes a broader and more impersonal view of life and makes it easier to see a new way through the fog […]
