The astrology of Virginia Giuffre: The trials of Saturn and Pluto

Trigger warning: This post contains references to sexual abuse and suicide.

Updated with accurate birth time. Virginia Guiffre, the primary and most public of the Epstein accusers, took her own life yesterday. This chart is set for noon since no time is available and without an accurate time we don’t know if her Moon was in late Leo or early Virgo.

In any case there are some difficult chart features that would have been activated over the past few years as Pluto transited the late degrees of Capricorn. Most notably, […]

The astrology of Clarence Thomas

When I have a session with a new client, I like the astrology to speak for itself. I never Google the client, or look at their website when they send me a link. Rather than try to fit the astrology into my idea of who the person is, I would rather see what the astrology says since my view may be flawed. That process is more difficult when doing a profile for a public person. We see their actions, and we have an opinion about them. And while I try to remain neutral in these profiles my bias will […]

A look ahead to April’s Jupiter/Neptune conjunction

art by Peter Rodulfo

Being an astrologer is a bit like being a meteorologist. You can observe the trends, but you can’t predict the details, at least not with reliable accuracy.

The past few years have been interesting to say the least. We had the conjunction of Saturn (hardship) and Pluto (death and regeneration) in 2020, which astrologers warned could bring financial and other hardships. With Neptune in Pisces, sign of its modern rulership and associated with viruses, there was an indication of a mysterious illness. But the kind of […]

Sunday inspiration: The opportunity in adversity

As you may know, last year a stellium of planets in Capricorn including Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto induced a period of compression and restriction from the Coronavirus. This year we are in an Aquarian time of awakening and new ideas, so I thought this piece from Eckhart Tolle was a very appropriate way to inspire the transition from the adversity of Saturn and Pluto to the logic and “out of the box” thinking of Aquarius. For more writings of Eckhart Tolle, visit his website here.

Monday astro update for the week of September 28, 2020 including the Aries Full Moon

Here’s your regular weekly update, complete with a bit more about the Aries Full Moon (but be sure to check out my complete post on this lunation which I feel will be important in helping us integrate the planetary intensity of the moment). We also have both Saturn and Pluto turning direct for more big energy shifts, and Venus moving from Leo into Virgo. I’ll also be weaving in the details of lunar influences so that you can put the whole picture together for your planning. Transcription is below, but as I always I encourage you […]

Musings on the Coronavirus

Over the years I have studied a great deal of correlations between historical events and the associated planetary configurations. Often there are clear connections that are easily described. The conjunction of Uranus (radical change) to Pluto (destruction and regeneration) in the mid to late 1960s is one example – it’s easy to see how this planetary combination correlated with the dramatic social upheavals during that decade. Same thing with the square aspect between Uranus and Pluto between 2010 and 2017.

To prepare for this article I wanted to see what other astrologers said about the Coronavirus. Several astrologers say “this […]

Planetary news this week: The pressure releases

For me, the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn has felt like a vise of intense energy, putting on the squeeze until I finally let go. For others, there have been life difficulties and changes such as Meghan Markle, whose chart is personally affected by the eclipse and the conjunction falling right on her ascendant, the need for change has been extreme.

As I have written before, events that occur during a conjunction of Saturn and Pluto usually leave a lasting effect and we may not know […]

Sunday inspiration for difficult times under Saturn and Pluto

Today’s post comes on the day when Saturn and Pluto make their exact alignment in the sky. So far it’s not as bad as I feared – the financial markets haven’t collapsed and it looks like war in the Middle East has been averted, for the time being. Yes, the Monarchy in Britain is about to break apart along with Brexit, and many of my friends, clients and colleagues are experiencing difficulties in their lives, but somehow the world keeps turning.

Ronnie Grisham, editor of Dell Horoscope magazine which just ceased publication, […]

The astrological importance of the January 10th eclipse

A lunar eclipse in Cancer on January 10th will add a particularly big wallop to the astrological energies that we are facing this week (read more about that here). On the 12th we have a rare alignment between Saturn, planet of tests and challenges, to Pluto, planet of destruction and regeneration. This conjunction takes place in the sign of Capricorn – the sign under which we learn to master the material world through hard work, discipline, and achievement. This is a cycle that only occurs every 30-38 […]

Important planetary news this week: The conjunction of Saturn to Pluto, a contraction of major proportions

The best thing that can be said about the upcoming conjunction of Saturn to Pluto is that the exact alignment only occurs one time. Saturn is a personal planet and operates in the personal realm, challenging us to face our responsibilities and work diligently towards our goals and often testing us in various ways to increase our emotional and physical endurance. Pluto is a transpersonal planet; its influence can be more ruthless in its pressure to create and support personal transformation. Saturn makes things hard, […]
