Planetary news this week: Venus in Leo calls in a fun summer

Astrological update for the week of June 5-12, 2023

artist unknown?

Venus in Leo and the Venus retrograde cycle. Venus leaves emotional cancer for Leo on June 5th, and will remain in Leo until October. This is a nice long time to enjoy the beneficial light of Venus, planet of love, in the sign of the Sun! This week we may find ourselves feeling a greater need for validation from those around us since a stressful aspect from Venus to intense Pluto, and then later in the week to Jupiter, may […]

Planetary news this week: Lunar eclipse at the Scorpio Full Moon

Astrological update for the week of May 1-8, 2023

art by Anna Vincitorio

Pluto turns retrograde May 1. Although the lunar eclipse on May 5th is the headline event, there’s a few other things going on too! First, Pluto makes its retrograde turn on Monday May 1st but you probably won’t even notice because Pluto has been stationary in the sky for over a month, and will continue to be virtually stationary for several more weeks. That makes the influence of Pluto more potent, and its transformative effect […]

Planetary news this week: All about Pluto retrograde

Astrological update for the week of April 24 – May 1, 2023

artist unknown?

The big news this week is the fact that Pluto turns retrograde on May 1st. (Geeky astrological detail: Pluto will retrograde at zero degrees Aquarius where it has been for the past month, and it will remain at the same degree point until June 11th when it retrogrades back into Capricorn.) As you may know, when a planet appears to change direction it seems to be at a standstill in the sky from our perspective, and its […]

Sunday poetry: Let This Darkness Be A Belltower

art by Lia Van Elffenbrinck

With Pluto, the Lord of Darkness, stationary right now having just turned retrograde, I hope this poem will bring light for anyone experiencing dark times right now.

Quiet friend who has come so far,
feel how your breathing makes more space around you.

Let this darkness be a bell tower
and you the bell.

As you ring, what batters you becomes your strength.
Move back and forth into the change.
What is it like, […]

Astrological news this week: Pluto retrograde and eclipse season begins!

Astrological update for the week of April 25 – May 2, 2022

art by John Craig

Pluto turns retrograde. I’ve been talking for a while about the Pluto station because Pluto hasn’t moved much in months – it’s only traveled one degree since the end of February and won’t travel more than one degree until early July. That is a long time if you have planets between 25 and 29 Capricorn or the other cardinal signs Cancer, Libra Aries. And if you have planets between 0 and 2 […]

Pluto retrograde, April 27 – October 6, 2021

art by Eva Bidiuk

As we know, astrology is not astronomically correct and planets don’t really move backwards. But occasionally from our perspective the apparent direction of their movement changes, which we call “retrograde.”

Most of us are familiar by now with Mercury retrograde periods, which (because Mercury is the messenger planet and deals with all kinds of communication and communication devices) tend to bring about communication glitches and endless renegotiations of contracts. Even people who don’t “believe in” astrology know that when Mercury is retrograde, things are just different.

This […]

4.20.21. The meaning of this week’s Pluto station

art by Laurie Bain Hamilton

Ever since Mercury turned direct at the end of February, we have had no planets retrograde which means two steps forward MEANS two steps forward, and not several steps sprinkled with backsliding to reverse our efforts. Pluto turns retrograde on April 27th, but its motion has been very slow, traveling less than a degree since the end of February. It’s virtually stationary in the sky, shining its Plutonic laser beam of volcanic and creative destruction which is really the reflection of Divine intelligence – […]

Thoughts on the astrology of the remainder of 2020

I was asked to create a video for the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship on the astrology for the remainder of 2020, and I thought that was a great idea in light of how the entire world has changed since I wrote my forecast for 2020. Here it is for you! If you like these videos please subscribe to the channel. Sorry, there is no transcription for this video but I hope you enjoy it anyway. ❤️

And then there were four: Venus and Jupiter turn retrograde this week

Most of my readers already know this, but planets don’t actually travel backwards. Astrology observes the motion of the planets from our perspective on earth, and from our perspective they occasionally appear to be moving backwards: we call this retrograde.

Pluto, planet of darkness and transformation, turned retrograde at the end of April. Saturn, planet of tests and challenges, turned retrograde on May 11th, 2020. Venus turned retrograde May 13th and Jupiter May 14th, at which point four planets will be retrograde. (See this earlier post for more […]

Pluto turns retrograde, beginning a major year of retrograde activity

Pluto turns retrograde on April 25, 2020. That in itself is not unusual since Pluto, along with all of the outer planets, spends about half the year in retrograde motion. What IS unusual is that this year we will have between five and seven planets retrograde for five months.

About retrogrades

Retrogradation occurs because we observe the movement of planets from our perspective on earth and sometimes, because of the varying speeds at which the planets hurtle around the Sun, they appear to move backwards. When a planet is […]
