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 […]

Planetary news this week: The end of the Saturn/Uranus square

Astrological update for the week of October 10-17, 2022

Saturn square Uranus: The final hurrah. We are in the final stages of the challenging square from Saturn (compression) to Uranus (rebellion) – the planetary cycle of 2021 which promoted so much civil unrest and overreaction. Although this is not an exact aspect (the two planets are 39 minutes of a degree apart and will begin to wane, we will likely continue to see the final stages of reactionary behavior well into November.

When two planets are in a square aspect to each […]

Astrological update for the week of August 23, 2021: Virgo season and Full Moon recovery

art by Carla Seaton

There was quite a discussion on my Facebook page Sunday about the sleeplessness of the Aquarius Full Moon!  With Uranus stationary in the sky and modern ruler of the lunation, the Uranian pressure to wake up can happen a bit too literally.  In any case, the Sun moved into Virgo shortly after the 29 degree Full Moon and joined Mercury and Mars which are already in Virgo, taking us fully into Virgo Season.

The sign that the Sun is in acts as a filter for our […]

5.19.21 – Creating new stability with Venus trine Saturn

art by Boris Indrikov

Yesterday we had a nice sextile from Venus to Chiron, softening any rough edges and helping to heal difficult challenges.  Today Saturn helps to stabilize relationships and economic situations through a focus on a reality-based way of looking at the world. We become more pragmatic and less swayed by feelings and the emotions caught up in old wounds, and our values and the things that we hold dear are more important.  Venus transits are like a breath in the wind, especially the harmonious ones […]

5.18.21 – Talking through issues with Venus in Gemini sextile Chiron

art by Tiare Smith

There are difficult conversations where everyone ends up sad and hurt, and then there are helpful conversations which foster healing and the ability to move through painful places.  Today we are blessed with the latter: an easy sextile between Venus in Gemini, the consummate conversationalist, and Chiron, planet of wounding and healing.  Sometimes our hurt feelings arise from something that occurred in the present moment, but often they are rooted in something that happened long ago.  We often can’t tell the difference because the […]
