Warm and friendly evenings call up nostalgic memories and encourage us to take care of one another. We can reconnect with family or connect to memories of summers past as we watch fireflies twinkling in the balmy evenings. But in this process, old Cancerian family and nationalistic patterns can get triggered, old wounds can feel newly raw with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Mars, line up in domestic, protective Cancer this week, all underlined as Mars squares Jupiter, trines Neptune, conjuncts Mercury and approaches an opposition to Pluto. This conga dance with Mars give us extra energy to do what needs to be done but can also instigate a defensive, aggressive edge wherever we feel our ordinary rights to live a safe, healthy life are endangered. Cancer urges us to appreciate and protect family, and by family we mean the larger family of humankind, home, homeland, and home planet. We… Read More

We have a few weeks of sparks ahead, so let’s see if we can help compassionate, creative ideas catch fire but soothe inflammations elsewhere. Venus re-enters direct, fiery Aries, where it was February 4-april 3rdand cranks the heat up on our emotional responses. Issues that excited or inflamed us in February will heat up again. We’ll tend to care passionately, one way or the other, about anything that catches our heart. Causes that stir our blood we want to do something about right now. Aries loves a good revolution. But we may be only able to see a few feet ahead of ourselves and need to take everything one step at a time. With Venus in Aries we have extra emotional fuel, but our thinking now can erratic and myopic, which is a tough combination, because Mercury has retrograded back into Aries and combusts spontaneous Uranus. We can get hot… Read More

(all times MST) Organize. We have work to do. This next month, dotted though it is with holiday preparations, may be the most industrious and competence month of the year, so let’s make good use of it. Good, solid work can be healthy personal therapy, but it may not make us our most emotionally intimate and cuddly self. With Mars now in collective Aquarius we’ll be thinking about where our community is headed, this Mars keeps our hearts farsighted, focused on public or shared goals. We can get attached to our philosophies but may not be in a particularly introspective or intimate position. Emotional Venus in Capricorn approaches a conjunction with Pluto and can leave us depressed if we feel useless, but loans us courage and determination if we’re working towards a clear goal. Our friendships build on processing the world together. Our love life can still flourish if we… Read More

Feel the emotional temper change this weekend as the winds of autumn thicken and the Sun enters Scorpio and Moon enters Leo, and we dig in our heels. The time to change opinions about the election is fading along with the falling leaves. Though all week long Venus in Sagittarius helps us stay flexible in matters of the heart and feel restless enough to be willing to leave dysfunctional situations and choose an approach which is healthy and honest. This Sagittarius Venus can help us keep a sense of humor and encourages us to laugh even at the tough aspects acted out so clearly through our ongoing presidential campaign, and may be able to laugh even at those other corners of our life. Where the recent temperamental aspects may have affected us more personally. Mars in Capricorn is just pulling away from a conjunction to Pluto, an aspect we still feel… Read More

The stars ask us to savor late summer’s ephemeral beauty and get ready for the year ahead. Mercury turns retrograde on Tuesday and nudges us to review our last year, renew old friendships and connections. A Virgo New Moon lunar eclipse on Thursday asks us to let go of ideas and practices that are no longer working for us, and start a new cycle. We can plant seeds now, but won’t really launch this fall’s enterprises until Mercury turns direct on the equinox, September 22. The beginning of September will be our chance to review, refresh, and pick up work we let go earlier. As the weekend begins we can see a beautiful conjunction between Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter in the early evening western sky. This lineup can expand (Jupiter) our thoughts (Mercury) with creativity and care (Venus). They are all lined up in earthy Virgo, which suggests that love… Read More
