Caution, combustible material within.  The weekend begins under astrological storm clouds but lightens up on Sunday. After an active, blossoming and fertile few days early in the week, the stars again vibrate with both strategic potential and tension towards the end of the week. On Friday, a friendly early morning full Moon in Libra shines a light on both our need for relationships and our need for individuation but can highlight the differences between our needs. The mood sharpens as the Moon enters broody Scorpio around breakfast. We may love people and still not want to be around them, we just won’t want to be convenient, which can make family gatherings tricky this weekend. Corner us, and we will reclaim our time. The Aries Sun, Scorpio Moon can leave us willful or sharp-edged on Friday. We want to go our own way. Mercury is already in Aries, Venus joins Mercury… Read More

This astrological week starts with some tough questions, rolls into a potentially beautiful weekend to get out and about. Our consciousness returns to work in time for last-minute taxes and a cranky but efficient spurt early next week, then ends with a few sparks and an influx of gumption. Towards the end of the week, Mercury enters direct and feisty Aries, our thinking clears and we tell it like it is. Or like we think it is at the moment. We are dealing with challenges around power and structure as the weekend begins. And we can square off with one another as the Sun in the feisty Aries, Moon in self-protective Cancer, and serious Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn all form a challenging T-square. We may want to reorganize our closets, our foundations, our finances, and our government. The question of our era is around how power and control are… Read More

The weekend begins with a fresh, feisty new Moon in Aries and opens a new chapter. Launch. Step forward. Aries brings that rebellious spirit of the daffodil and plum blossom surging back to life after a long winter, starting life over again with deep old roots and fresh growth. This new Moon may spark a flash of temper or rebellion, or just a need to do procrastinate and do things our own way. It encourages us to rebel against the limitations of our life, the dysfunction of our world, and boldly step where we’ve not stepped before, or play hooky if that is our chosen form or rebellion. This revolutionary new Moon forms a challenging square to Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn whose conjunction on the south lunar node over the next year defines this time and calls us to really examine how power is used in all its many… Read More

We get the green light this week, Mercury is direct, the Sun is in Aries, and we’re off and running into the astrological new year. But we may need to clean the gutters first. Wherever there was a block, whether in a river, project, or emotional process, the blocks begin to loosen. Where a mistake was made, we get an opportunity to repair. Where we were deluded, bamboozled, or just lost in a dream, it’s time to wake up. We have some cleanup to do before the flow really gets going. Now some of those blocks were good. Rivers are still filling up. And if people have been brooding behind-the-scenes while Mercury is retrograde, now the plans may come to light, whether they want to run for government or take down a government, pitch a proposal or take off to Mozambique. If we’ve been brooding, plotting, or visioning while Mercury… Read More

Spring has sprung, the Sun is now in Aries and lengthening days call us to start our year afresh. Aries stirs our willpower and encourages new beginnings, but we may have trouble wrangling the logistics.   We may have trouble collecting our focus or wrangling logistics, as our brains would rather read a book or wander in the wild as mental Mercury, still retrograde in intuitive foggy Pisces until the end of the week, conjuncts imaginative if confusing, Neptune. Because of its retrograde cycle, Mercury makes three exact conjunctions to Neptune from mid-February through April 2, and the retrograde version is exact this weekend. Our imagination and our vision can sing under this conjunction, but we need to pace ourselves. We can run into danger if we let that Aries push us ahead of our ability to pay attention. It’s easy to lose things, trip, or slide sideways. This Mercury-Neptune conjunct… Read More

This week the stars loan us determination as active Mars trine authoritative Saturn and powerful Pluto in earth signs. We can make real progress wherever the decisions are clear and we know what we’re doing. But in this last week of winter, that won’t always be so easy. With Mercury retrograde in absorptive Pisces, close to intuitive, soggy, foggy Neptune, it’s a great week to sleep and dream, and to let our imagination rip and write great fiction, but we may have trouble making realistic decisions or telling the difference between satire and news on social media. Check before reposting; is it true and is it current. Even more than usual, people will tend to filter what they see based on how they feel, and forget to check the details of information that supports their personal opinion. Some, like the New Zealand shooter, can get lost in their Neptunian delusions… Read More

Our brains can feel a muddy as a spring landslide this month, but we can still be productive. Two opposing astrological patterns affect us: Mercury retrograde in Pisces slows us down as Mars in earthy Taurus encourages us to make progress. On the flooded side, Mercury, the planet that symbolizes how we think, communicate, and move through the world, now retrogrades (appears to back up against the zodiac) until March 28 in intuitive Pisces. This one will feel like a super-retrograde as Mercury conjunct Neptune, the brain fog-producing planet of imagination, spirit, and escapism, first on February 19, now backs up and conjuncts Neptune again on March 24, then turns direct and conjunct it for the third time on April 2, a flood that gets us coming and going. Through this long unusually foggy and muddy Mercury retrograde we can feel wildly creative but easily overwhelmed, like the world is… Read More

The planets suggest our feelings may be as soggy as snowmelt in early spring weather this week. As the weekend begins some familiar problem raises its head as the Capricorn Moon conjuncts dour Saturn and Pluto.  Whether we have a headache from the headlines or find that an old physical scar aches in the cold, or just itch with cabin fever after a long snowy winter, some repeating pattern can either give us an opportunity to do it right this time, or make uncomfortable with the status quo. Next week the conditions inside and out can get even sloppier as Mercury retrogrades (appears to back up) in sensitive swampy Pisces. Art and good conversation help. Beauty-loving Venus can help us find a temporary cure for our tough moods if we start and unusual conversation with people outside our normal framework or engage our hearts in an act of compassion or… Read More

The stars ask us to acknowledge our deepest feelings as Venus conjuncts Pluto this weekend. Venus symbolizes our heart, what we care about and what we find beautiful, while Pluto speaks of depth, loss, the use and abuse of power, and of rebirth. This conjunction usually occurs once a year and can help us catch up with a backlog of emotion. It can also expose hidden stories, headlines can bring up questions around spousal abuse or sexual exploitation, breach of trust, and what we want to do about This conjunction turns up the volume on all our feelings, but can start with a poignant grief or existential loneliness. Or a love of solitude. A personal event or memory can trigger this wealth of feeling. But even if no event occurs, we may feel a spike of existential grief over the world’s conditions, with the loss of wildlife or the wasted… Read More

The astrological weather has shifted for the moment, the planets may irritate us less but leave us more sensitized and stubborn with motivating Mars now in Taurus and mental Mercury in subtle Pisces. Tempers cold when Mars left flammable Aries yesterday, but are replaced with more determination as Taurus now travels through stubborn if even-keeled Taurus. We’re less likely to argue, and more likely just to follow through on our plans. This new sensitivity has its pros and cons. Late winter depression can drift around the edges. We may feel we need one another now more than we have in the last few months.  We may be more open to an emotionally intimate connection, more open to our spirit and the quiet of spiritual practice. The Sun joins Mercury in watery Pisces on Sunday, and help us become more aware of the interconnectedness of our lives and our ecosystem, more… Read More
