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 November 8, 2021: Mars and the cycle of change

As you may know, I’ve been calling the square from Saturn to Uranus the story of 2021 – the pressures between control for the sake of society (Saturn) versus the rebellion and radical motivations of Uranus.  There is no more vivid representation of the Saturn/Uranus square than the global battle over masking and vaccinations during this pandemic and the extreme path which this debate has taken.

Saturn and Uranus are five degrees apart from an exact square, but the aspect is tightening over the next month until it culminates in mid-December.  Every […]

11.3.20 Mercury square Saturn rules the week

If you’re thinking that doesn’t sound so great for an election in the United States, in 2020 which has witnessed some of the most intense events of our lifetime, you’re probably right.  Mercury, planet of information processing, first formed a stressful square to Saturn, planet of tests and challenges, on September 23rd as it traveled direct through Libra.  The second phase of the square was November 1st and the final phase is the 6th. Because both planets are moving very slowly now (Mercury turns direct today and will begin to pick […]

10.30.20 About the long-lasting square from Mercury in Libra to Saturn

Mercury is traveling retrograde right now in Libra, having left Scorpio last week to retrace its steps through the sign of balance and integration.  Libra’s job is to determine where polarities exist and find ways to bring harmony where none currently exists, and for this reason Libra is known as the sign of the diplomat and negotiator.  With Mercury in Libra we are more sensitive to disharmony and cognitive dissonance, which is an odd thing in the week before a very difficult election […]

Weekly astrological forecast for September 21, 2020 including the Equinox and Saturn turning direct

In this week’s video I review the meaning of the Sun entering Libra at the September equinox and the turning of the seasons.  Also, Saturn is stationary in the sky right now and I thought he deserved some special time since his influence is important with all of the Capricorn energies happening at the moment.  And of course I’ll review the astrological influences of the week ahead to help with your planning.  Transcription can be found at the end, but as always I encourage you to watch the video.  It helps me and my channel, of course, but you’ll also […]
