Astrological news this week: Post eclipse optimism

Astrological update for the week of November 14-21, 2022

Post-eclipse wrapup. In my monthly Planetary Illuminations report for November (see the subscription form in the sidebar) I wrote that the total lunar eclipse on November 8th would have two segments: the dark time before the eclipse and the light time after the eclipse. I wrote “Eclipses aren’t inherently dangerous, but they are usually portals through which difficult truths may emerge. The lunar eclipse on November 8th conjoins the North Node of the future, suggesting […]

Astrological news this week: Surprising adjustments with Mars and Venus square Uranus

artist unknown?

Astrological update for the week of March 21, 2022

If you can identify this artist please let me know in the comments! As the week begins the energies of last week’s Equinox are still winding down, forcing adjustments in expectations and laying the groundwork for a new season. The March Equinox occurs when the Sun enters Aries in the tropical system – the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere and the beginning of the zodiacal wheel. Aries is the sign of initiation, of blazing a new trail and forging ahead […]

Astrological update for the week of November 15, 2021: An eclipse and an energetic crescendo!

artist unknown

Fasten your seatbelts, friends – this week we have a lunar eclipse in Taurus and an argument between the aggression of Mars, the warrior, and the radical influence of Uranus, the rebel.

The eclipse is a partial one and less powerful astrologically because the lunar nodes are in a different sign, an “out of sign” conjunction. It’s the conjunction from the lunar nodes of fate, marking the gateways from past to future, that makes a lunation an eclipse and an out of sign conjunction is weaker and has less effect. But […]

4.2.21 – The creative flow continues, energized by the Sagittarius Moon

The focused creativity and potent spiritual force of today’s sextile from Mercury in Pisces to Pluto begins to wane as the day goes on, but we will likely still experience that enhanced creative flow for much of the day. The Sagittarius Moon opposes Mars at around 6:40 am EDT, ramping up the fiery energies for a few hours. That would be a good time to go for a run or some kind of vigorous exercise, or if you need a boost to inspire you for […]

4.1.21. More positive energy and transcendent insights today

art by Lucy Campbell

A harmonious sextile from Mercury in Pisces to Pluto begins to build today, though it isn’t exact until Friday. Mercury in Pisces is kind of dreamy and a bit of a woolgatherer, but the partnership with Pluto helps to focus our attention on the things that are most important. Pluto inspires us to penetrate more deeply in order to find truths which may have been hidden, and the intuition of Mercury in Pisces opens the doorway to expand our awareness and knowledge. […]

11.27.20 A day to break out of a routine, and mental agility

Today we have Mercury (mind) harmonizing in a sextile to Pluto (transformation), and since Mercury is in Scorpio where it easily focuses our attention directly to what is important, the engagement with Pluto’s intensity simply amplifies this power without causing too much difficulty. But Venus, also in Scorpio, is opposite Uranus in Taurus today. In Scorpio Venus demands nothing less than truth, a connection with meaning and passion. No matter where Venus is in your own chart, our connections with others are of supreme importance right […]
