Optimism and dreams vs cold hard reality in 2015: Round 1

Reflection from Deviant Art

One thing I love about the astrological language is that everything has both a positive and negative aspect. The confidence and abundance of Jupiter and Sagittarius have a dark shadow: complacence and laziness. The stress and challenge of Saturn and Capricorn have a bright side: focus and achievement. The creativity and spiritual magic of Neptune and Pisces can also bring illusion, delusion and confusion.

But there’s no sugar coating the fact that energies of expansion conflict with energies of contraction, and we have a great deal […]

Saturn on the Scorpio/Sagittarius cusp

Image by Valxart

Saturn, the planet of tests and challenges, entered Sagittarius in December but then retrograded back into Scorpio between June 14th and will move back into Sagittarius on September 17th.

While Saturn was in Scorpio, the sign that rules intensity, power, and sexuality among many other things, we saw a rise of sexual abuse allegations, including the eruption of a long-suppressed case against Bill Cosby, the exposure of sexual abuse rings in Britain, and the revelation of secrets after the hack of the Ashley Madison cheating […]

Jupiter in Virgo 2015-2016

Jupiter entered Virgo on August 11th, 2015 and will remain in that sign until September 9, 2016. Because Jupiter’s orbital period is about 12 years, it spends about a year in each sign.

Jupiter, in his role as King of the Gods, inspires us to higher aspirations – to be bigger and better than we ever thought we could be. Jupiter bestows confidence and the kind of faith that tends to bring good things our way – but it also can create an overblown sense of entitlement and grandiosity. Jupiter […]

Saturn turns retrograde: The mentor at work

“Saturn” by Camille-Besneville

The planet Saturn governs restriction of all kinds – the sense of being blocked from your goals and dreams, the commitments that are required in order to establish a government, a corporation or a marriage. Saturn can bring delays to our accomplishments and disappointments and failure.

Still, at the heart of the matter Saturn serves as a mentor. When we want to improve our skills, we often hire a mentor or a teacher to help. When we want to feel good about life and find […]

The rise of militant atheism under Saturn in Sagittarius

From an astrological perspective, religion is a shared belief system and symbolized by Jupiter and Sagittarius. A belief system is a collection of ideas that help us to find meaning in our lives. When we find a group that shares our belief system, this becomes a religion. From an astrological viewpoint, religion is a collection of small “t” truths – a truth that we create for ourselves.

From this perspective, atheism is just as much a shared belief system as any of the other religions that give meaning to the lives of […]

The astrology of vaccines and the Saturn/Neptune square

As an astrologer it is interesting to watch how current planetary cycles play out in the news. Saturn just moved into Sagittarius where our belief systems (Sagittarius) are being challenged, and right now Saturn is within two degrees or so of a challenging square to Neptune.

Saturn as many of you know is the Celestial Teacher of the astrological pantheon – he is the voice that scolds us when we are unrealistic and the guide who allows us to make stupid mistakes in the name of learning. In the sign […]

Saturn in Sagittarius Sagittarius by phantoms siren

Saturn entered Sagittarius on December 23rd and will remain in that sign until June 14, 2015 when it will retrograde back into Scorpio until September 17, 2015 when it will move back into Sagittarius until it leaves on December 19, 2017.

The planet Saturn serves as the teacher and the mentor and he is often feared because his lessons can be quite strict. He is known for creating delays and disappointments, for applying the brakes when all we want to do is move forward, and for manifesting as […]

The astrology of the sexual revolution: Part 2

Catch up on Part 1 here

Beginning in 1954 when Tupperware parties began putting money in the pockets of housewives and Playboy Magazine began sowing seeds of dissatisfaction in the lusty hearts of suburban dads, the ground was being fertilized for the sexual revolution that was to come later in the 1960s. Saturn continued to travel through Scorpio until January of 1956, testing the structures of power and forcing confrontation in areas of sexuality. It was during this period that sexuality researcher Alfred Kinsey’s funding was cut […]
