Mars square Jupiter. Mars, planet of action and desire, is fresh off of a conjunction to Pluto which was like filling it up with rocket fuel. […]
Sun enters Capricorn at the Winter Solstice. The wheel of the seasons turn on the cardinal signs – the signs of initiation and leadership. The solstice occurs at the moment the Sun enters the sign of Capricorn, and this year that takes place on December 21st EST/ December 22nd UTC. This is also the first day of winter (in the northern hemisphere).
The solstices and equinoxes are portals of energy and mark the extremes and balance […]
Retrograde Neptune. As most of you know, planets don’t actually travel backwards but from time to time they will appear to reverse their travels through the sky as we observe them from Earth. These periods when planets are retrograde are times of reconsideration and reversals, times when we sometimes feel we are swimming against the tide.
The outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are each retrograde for about half the year: This week, on […]
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 […]
As you probably know, we are in eclipse season and the one on Tuesday November 8th really dominates the airwaves this week. First of all, it’s a total eclipse which means that the lunar nodes of fate are very tightly conjunct the lunation (the Sun and Moon in opposition). We have a powerful see-saw (remember those?) of the eclipsed Moon (feelings) in tight conjunction to Uranus (rebellion and change), but in the sign of Taurus […]
As many of you know, a Full Moon becomes a SuperMoon (™ astrologer Richard Nolle) when the Moon is closest to Earth than at other times. Full Moons are known to affect ocean tides and sea creatures (including humans who are made up of 60% water), and water is the element of feeling and emotion. Under the influence of the Moon emotions are heightened and the realm of feelings dominates the landscape.
Capricorn Full Moon. […]
How did everyone fare during the eclipse Sunday night? I was knocked so off kilter (the eclipse squared my natal Pluto which and a bunch of progressed planets) that I forgot what day it was yesterday! So this forecast is late, but hopefully better late than never as they say.
This week is a bit quieter astrologically, although Mars, planet of action teams up with Neptune, planet of transcendence, in the sign of Pisces (culminating around […]
Elon Musk is in the news again, this time for attempting a hostile takeover of Twitter. He is such a fascinating character – clearly so brilliant, but also kind of a mad genius and a bit nutty. Just the type I like to profile. 😃
The astrology of Elon Musk.
Unfortunately we don’t have a birth time for Musk (there is a birth time on Astrotheme but it comes from an unverified source in India), but even without it we can see some very interesting things (noon chart shown with Sun on the ascendant). Musk was born under a conjunction of […]
This week we have Mercury retrograde, having just changed direction, so I hope you all are being careful with your communication and reading instructions carefully. 😃 Venus is retrograde also, and you may be thinking more about people from the past who you’ve lost touch with, or repairing broken relationships. We also have Uranus changing direction this week, turning direct after about six months of retrogradation, meaning all of that impetus for change and authenticity will begin to find a route of action. Three planets retrograde is about average – we need that […]
Saturn square Uranus. There is really only one storm happening right now and that is the final square alignment between Saturn and Uranus, The Story of 2021 (™Lynn Hayes). Saturn demands that we obey the rules, and Uranus inspires us to break out of rules that don’t support our growth as authentic individuals. These two can be powerful allies – Uranus and Saturn are connected through their joint rulership of Aquarius where the rules and structures of Saturn are enhanced and modernized through the creative radicalization of Uranus. But we haven’t […]
