The astrology of this week pushes us to continue the roll into fall with industry and ingenuity, and instigate some concrete practical changes for a better future. But our energy may be a little low at the moment and our empathy and immune system may feel unusually permeable, so we need to take care of ourselves along the way. The planets are posing a positive challenge to old systems and structures, to the chain of command and ordinary ways of doing things.  Saturn just turned direct yesterday after many months retrograde, and as it pivots it forms a trine with change-master Uranus. Saturn symbolizes structure, solidity, stability, restriction, powers that be, and symbolizes a more conservative, traditional way of doing things. Uranus instigates change; it unsettles the status quo and can bring good change, but rarely makes it comfortable. Because these two make this dynamic trine in pragmatic, manifesting Earth… Read More

Labor Day weekend begins under an earthy Taurus Moon and encourages us to return to the familiar places and people and slow down and feel the moment. Enjoy one another’s company. Savor juices of just-harvested fruit and fresh-picked corn, the aroma of freshly roasted green chilis, explore arts and crafts festivals. Enjoy that last taste of summer lemonade before the season of industry kicks in. The conversation picks up on the second half of the weekend; Sunday through Monday the Moon shifts into communicative Gemini while Mercury, now in sociable Leo, sextiles Venus in Libra and helps us meet, greet, and create connections of all types. It furthers to get out and about, take short trips and engage conversations that roam far rather than deep. This weekend is a pivot point. We’re all expected back at our desks, ready to roll into autumn’s work on Tuesday. But just as we’re… Read More

This week can rumble in like a grumpy lion and out like a cavorting mountain goat. The planets ask us to hold still, bask in the summer, dream about the future- but not get pushy and make try to make things happen -through this weekend. The pacing is slow, moody, if occasionally discombobulated as Mercury turns direct after three weeks retrograde. By the end of the week, though, mental Mercury appears to pick up speed, the Sun enters industrious Virgo, trines speedy Uranus and steady Saturn, and we’re ready to roll. A beautiful Moon-Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio can take us on that emotional roller coaster Friday night. That Scorpio Moon can pull us deep into introspection, deeper into the solitude of our personal psychic caves, just as Venus in Libra encourages us to want more attention and connection. This can be a tough combination. So, if the people we love… Read More

Amongst Summers ripening fruit and the first whispers of back-to-school supplies, this week could be laced with moments silliness, drama, and important strategic moves. Our feelings can swell to high tide about world events that grab our heart or respond in waves that may or may not make sense with the story of our life. Even if everything is just fine, we can feel a touch of melodrama or imagine apparent emergencies that aren’t really there. Either we just need a story to go with the feeling, or melodrama may hide a real problem. But watch out for distraction, as some people could create a drama over here, so we don’t notice their Machiavellian strategic move over there. If we want to make a strategic move ourselves, let’s be careful to only make those that are ours to make, and be very careful about manipulating other people, even in what… Read More

Soak up the summer this weekend, rest, there’s no point in trying to push the river with six planets retrograde by the end of the week. Of course, we need to handle emergencies, keep the ball rolling on ongoing business, and stay aware of what political scalawags are doing, but otherwise the stars encourage us to prioritize our health and relationships, and dream big, rather than muscle our work. As the weekend begins, the Moon in comfort-loving Taurus trines serious Saturn and reminds us to refill our wells and appreciate traditional summer fare. Having heatstroke isn’t one of them. Our weather conditions can alternate between lovely and mythic as a Mars – Uranus square in air signs stirs up storms and a Jupiter – Neptune trine tends to extremes of water and drought. May it bring us extremely nice weather and let everyone recover. Uranus joins Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune,… Read More

Welcome Midsummer. Though it may be an astrologically complicated week, at the peak of overheated days and sunlit evenings it’s good to move slowly, have safe adventures, and store up memories for the winter. It pays to bring our minds to points of brightness, good memories or hopeful projects- This is an emotionally volatile week depression can hover at the edges- our psyche can wrestle with ghosts and chase rabbits-so listen, process, and don’t believe the script the mind may write. We need to take extra care of one another, check in, and find the sit calm in the center of this gyroscope. The weekend can be fun if not intimate, perfect for family gatherings or a rodeo, woven with some wild headlines and a few chaotic moments. Today brings the party full Moon in community-oriented Aquarius, normally perfect for any gathering with like souls to celebrate life; music and… Read More

The summer is about to get slower, if no less complex. Mercury turns retrograde this Tuesday through August 19 and joins Mars, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, and Chiron already retrograde, or appear to back up against the zodiac because of difference between our orbit and ours. When the planets appear move backwards it’s a good time for us to look backwards, to review where we’ve been, remember what we’ve learned in our personal and cultural history. Notice personal and political issues that we thought we’d already overcome but are now back up for another lay of work on the spiral of life. The past can feel very present with us in retrograde season. Retrogrades ask us to slow down, forget what we thought we were going to do and tend to the work that shows up. It helps to keep our sense of humor, so the small snafus and the strange… Read More

Look forward to a friendly summery weekend with a touch of political bombast and interpersonal drama around the edges as the Moon joins Mercury in expressive Leo on Friday the 13th. Let’s all tell our story and keep it close to reality while allowing for a little creative license around the edges. Mercury turns retrograde in a week and ½. We can already feel it slowing down and sludging up our schedule, asking us to take some time off and rethink. So let’s start to tie up some loose ends and clear out any misunderstandings now. In the background, overheated storms hover over more serious emotional considerations and demand that we make concrete changes, prodded by a positive grand trine in Earth signs, between Venus in Virgo, Saturn, and Uranus. Feel the earthquakes, whether they’re political or geological, and hope for of series of small quakes two release tension rather… Read More

Dream big this week, stare at those clouds in the summer sky. We can let our intuition see shapes and forms that give us hints about the future. And then, by the end of the week work on plans to make it so. Two grand trines add an extra dynamism this week; a dreamy Sun – Neptune – Jupiter triangle in sensitive water signs helps us imagine the bigger picture, and an earthy grand trine as Venus enters Virgo late in the week, trines Uranus and hard-working Saturn helps us make pragmatic changes. We may be feeling unusually sensitive or easily overwhelmed and need to build up our resilience with every good moment so we can stay in there and manifest. We just have to watch out for a tendency to passivity, and get stuck in our dreams, or discouragement, which can be the first effects of these aspects. The… Read More

Starcodes June 29 2018 Heather Roan Robbins Summer days heat up as we celebrate our country’s solar return this week. The Sun moves into a grand trine with Jupiter and Neptune this week and helps us laze by the pool or relax with family. But when were not in such a relaxed or creative place, we may need to wrestle with Neptune. And that is going to take some creativity. Each planet is a symbol of a wide spectrum. The cure for the negative expression of a planet always engages the positive aspect of that same planet. Jupiter expands whatever it touches, and as it trines Neptune (exact Dec 2,2017, May 25, and August 19 2018), we’re working through an expanded archetype of Neptune. On a bad day this aspect can bring floods, a certain passivity, a feeling of either hopelessness or overwhelm. Archetypes of martyrdom. A desperate need to… Read More
