Planetary news this week: Venus in Scorpio and falling stars with Neptune

Astrological update for the week of December 4-11, 2023

Neptune turns direct. This month we have three planets changing signs which means a shift in planetary energies, and that begins with Neptune turning direct this week. This is especially significant if you are experiencing a transit of Neptune to your own chart as it will intensify during this time. Neptune stations can be somewhat destabilizing since Neptune urges us to detach from the practical and embrace the creative and mystical. Neptune won’t begin […]

Sunday Poetry for a Venus/Pluto dance

photo by me

A challenging square from Venus to Pluto has been building all week, have you felt it? Venus in Libra, longing for harmony and connection, antagonized by Pluto’s need to strip away artifice and the niceness which Libra craves. That square aspect peaks today and offers an opportunity to face those hard truths and still hold onto the beauty. This poem speaks perfectly to that tension and I hope you enjoy it! 💖

“Being alive,
it seems,
means learning to bear the weight of the passing of all things.

It means […]

Planetary news this week: Mercury in Capricorn & relationship issues

Astrological update for the week of November 27 – December 4, 2023

I wrote about the Full Moon in last week’s post and again yesterday, so you can catch up on the details there – by the time you read this post the lunation will have culminated (4:16 am EST/9:16 am UTC) and the Moon will begin its waning phase. The waning phase of the Moon is a time of letting go and release, there is a sense […]

Planetary news this week: Transformation continues and then a new beginning

Astrological update for the week of March 13-20, 2023

artist unknown?

The Jupiter/Chiron conjunction. The transformational alignment between Jupiter and Chiron which I wrote about last week has just culminated, but the effect will linger throughout the remainder of the month. quoting from last week’s post: The alignment of Jupiter’s optimism and expansive qualities with Chiron’s inspiration to heal and explore the body’s awareness is a powerful crucible for physical, emotional and mental healing. The type of healing which Chiron presides over is not the fairy godmother type of healing in which […]

Astrological forecast for the week of September 6, 2021: Mostly sunny with a hint of regret

This week we have no major planetary aspects causing trouble, and the week begins with the energies of the Virgo New Moon (catch up here if you missed it) lingering for the first few days. New Moons bring that sense of a clean slate, and here we have a trine from Uranus which helps to break up old patterns and stuck energy to help us to formulate a plan under the Virgo influence. The New Moon is exact on September 6th at 8:51 pm if you choose to […]

A new and improved beginning for the Virgo New Moon

by Lynn Hayes. At the New Moon the energy of the Sun and Moon unite in a burst of enthusiasm, and each month as the New Moon progresses through the signs we have an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the principles of each sign in sequence. This year’s Virgo New Moon takes place September 6 at 8:51 pm Eastern time, taking us from the Leo quest for personal satisfaction to a renewed desire to serve and perfect the human experience. Under Virgo’s vision we are able to see where various […]

Astrological update for the week of August 30, 2021: Taking care of details in the midst of confusion

So many of you have asked for some kind of recording and let’s try it this week. There is a recording of this update at the end of the post. Let me know what you think in the comments.

This week we have a lack of the fire element in the planetary energies, and Mars, the fire planet, will oppose watery Neptune. Fire signifies drive, purification, frustration, motivation – it’s active in nature and energizes the processing of our experiences. Chiron is in Aries, but since Chiron represents the unhealed wound it activate […]

4.12.21 – In the heart of the storm with Venus and Pluto

artist unknown

Wrapped up in the planetary alignments of yesterday’s Aries New Moon (catch up here if you missed it) was a challenging square from Venus in Aries to Pluto. Any planet in the sign of Aries acts with independence and courage, and Venus, planet of relating and harmony, is no different. This understandably creates some dissonance in the best of circumstances but we also have a challenging square from the Sun, Moon and most especially Venus to Pluto, planet of endings and transformation. When tied to the energies […]

Astrological update for the week of November 16, 2020 including election post-mortem

Last week we finished a couple of important astrological cycles (the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction and the fact that Mars turned direct) but the effects have lingered, and this is a topic of discussion in this week’s video. I also talk a bit about upcoming planetary factors which will affect the way the post-election drama unfolds. This week the influences are more subtle and give us an opportunity to take a breath and catch up to ourselves. The transcript is below for those who prefer to read. ❤️

This Virgo Full Moon is a karmic trigger

The Full Moon on March 5 contains plenty of planetary punch!

The Sun is in Pisces now, opposite the Virgo Moon. The Pisces/Virgo polarity involves a rebalancing of our need to attend to the details of our ordinary life (Virgo) with the longing of the soul to transcend details and experience a divine flow (Pisces). The Moon itself reflects the changing urges of the soul, and in Virgo there is strong pressure to pay attention to the details that give our lives order.

At the Full Moon both the Sun and Moon interact […]
