What a good week for holidays. If we can work through a few technical difficulties and drive safely, we can look forward to some extraordinary moments. Logistical difficulties still abound as the weekend begins. If we run around, we’ll be running in circles as Mercury appears to hold still against the zodiac. Mercury has appeared retrograde for the last three weeks, but it turns direct tonight. After a brief, several-day hesitant tumult, all things Mercurial, like travel, communication, timing, technology, package-arrival, and mutual understanding, can begin to straighten out. In the meantime, while Mercury appears to hold still, travel with care, humor, and reading materiel for delays. Know when to take a moment alone. With Mars in Scorpio now, we’ll all need a dash of solitude between our social obligations, and will tend to remain painfully aware of the world’s woes even as we celebrate. Today is a great day… Read More

Silent night, holy night; the currents run deep this weekend, but all can be well if we can feel the quiet inside and out.  Find a way to share hearts without words; through actions, shared experience, and presence, even more than presents. We all need a moment of solitude to process feelings under this weekend’s Scorpio moon, but paradoxically can easily feel isolated. It helps all involved to fold into our dinner table someone who might otherwise feel lost or alone. Otherwise, the weight of the world as it stands can lean in on us and make it hard to share joy, we can be prone to misunderstandings, last-minute snafus, and strange willful tugs of war with Mercury retrograde in Capricorn. Kids may not want to kiss strange relatives, and everyone resists being pushed into obligations. Twitter-wars flare. Crankiness abounds, but it can come out defensively or passive aggressively with… Read More

This is the darkest week of the year, we need to shine for one another and bring light to this dark times. Winter solstice on December 21 at 3:44 AM MST marks the turning point, when the Sun stands still for three days before it begins its journey northward, soon lengthening our days even as the winds stay cool. This time can also mark a dark or concerning moment as thoughtful Mercury approaches mysterious Pluto, stands stills and retrogrades (by quirk of our orbits it appears to back up) for three weeks starting December 19, just a few hours before the electoral college meets. We may begin to feel more vulnerable and sensitive, easily overwhelmed and in our heart, as Mars joins Venus in sensitive, reactive Pisces that same day. Now mercury retrograde can bring about sudden floods of information or a reversal of decisions, a throwback, but whether that… Read More

“It is plain indeed that in spite of later estrangement Hobbits are relatives of ours: far nearer to us than Elves, or even than Dwarves. Of old they spoke the languages of Men, after their own fashion, and liked and disliked much the same things as Men did. But what exactly our relationship is can no longer be discovered.” R. R. Tolkien A full Moon in domestic Cancer early on Christmas morning brings an emotional a high tide.  Whether we celebrate the holiday or not, all our hopes and fears around the joy or trouble of family, home and homeland can course through us like reindeer through the night sky. We may long for true family as this full Moon illuminates our heart, though our relatives may look like elves, dwarves, and hobbits to us. If we can accept their strangeness, rather than wish they understood us better, we’ll be more… Read More
